FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 25, 2012
Following Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Report, Schumer Pushes Dept. of Education to Allow NY School Districts, like Rochester, to Direct Fed Resources to Out- of-School Activities Based on Demonstrated Effectiveness to Best Meet Student Needs
Schumer Supports NY's Request to Change How Millions in Fed Funding Is Used for Tutoring, After-School Activities, or Extended In-School Programs— Waiver Would Give Local Districts More Control of Eligibility for Funding, Increase Effectiveness & Quality of Services
Schumer: Local School Districts, Like Rochester, Know How to Best Meet Their Students' Academic Needs
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer urged the federal Department of Education to approve New York's request for greater flexibility to control how federal funding is used by school districts for tutoring and supplemental education services, in order to ensure the most effective and achievement-focused use of those resources. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has applied for a waiver from specific regulations within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that would allow local districts, like those in Rochester and across the state, to opt out of the strict federal requirements related to activities offered under the Supplemental Educational Services (SES) and the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) programs.
As a result of insufficient accountability and efficiency in the current system for supplemental education activities that was highlighted by the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, Schumer is pushing the Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan to approve the state's application for the waiver, which would provide New York school districts more flexibility in their use of SES and 21st CCLC funding. If approved, Rochester and other school districts could direct such resources to providers based on demonstrated effectiveness to best meet student needs, improve educational outcomes, and close achievement gaps, which are best identified at the local level.
"School districts across New York, including Rochester, are hamstrung by overly strict federal guidelines on how to implement the best tutoring and supplemental programs for their students. The bottom line is local education leaders need more flexibility to craft programs that best fit the needs of local students," said Schumer. "That's why I'm urging the Department of Education to allow local districts, like the Rochester City School District, to direct federal resources to out-of-school activities as they best see fit based on the efficiency and quality of those services. Moreover, I'm pushing to give districts the flexibility to use this funding to expand in-school learning so more students can get the extra learning time they need and aren't tempted to skip out of after-school tutoring sessions. In past years, Rochester has been forced to spend millions in federal tutoring funds but was powerless to make sure they were getting the best bang for their buck. Approval of New York's waiver will provide more control to local districts regarding which tutoring and other school programs deserve this federal funding, and will enhance services to best meet local students' needs and improve student's academic outcomes."
Currently, under ESEA as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, New York school districts are under strict requirements as to the usage of federal funding under the Supplemental Education Services and the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers programs. This system allows school districts very little flexibility in its use of millions of dollars in federal funding for out-of-school activities and tutoring services, and its ability to control which tutoring providers are selected to offer services. In many cases, service providers do not have demonstrated track records of success or adequate evaluation measures in place, and under the current system, local school districts cannot easily reject providers who are failing to improve student performance.
Schumer is pushing for local districts in New York, like Rochester, to be permitted the freedom to direct federal resources from SES and 21st CCLC programs in ways best fit for their students. Specifically, a waiver from the federal Department of Education would allow local districts to certify after-school and tutoring programs based on demonstrated effectiveness and what that locality believes best for improving academic performance in that districts' students. Schumer noted that such a waiver would help improve tutoring and other expanded educational activities in New York. For example, in the Rochester City School District, currently only 20% of students that need and qualify for tutoring enroll in an eligible program, and of those students many do not benefit from their provider's curriculum which are not producing effective educational outcomes and improvements. Schumer urged Secretary Arne Duncan to approve New York State Education Department's waiver application, which would help alleviate such problems by better directing federal funding towards improved academic activities, such as in-school extended learning activities. Schumer argued that localities need the flexibility to develop achievement-based tutoring and activities that are best for its students.
A copy of Schumer's letter appears below:
Dear Secretary Duncan,
I write in support of the New York State Education Department's (NYSED) waiver application to certain provisions within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Specifically, I ask that as you review this request you provide particular consideration to the provisions sought by NYSED to provide greater flexibility to the activities offered under the Supplemental Educational Services (SES) and the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program. Allowing the state and local education agencies greater flexibility to control how federal SES and 21st CCLC funding is used will be a prudent first step to provide local districts with the ability to best direct these resources to activities that are effective and improve student achievement.
The current system has led to a situation where there is restricted opportunities as well as insufficient accountability and oversight of how federal funding for expanded learning time and supplemental services is spent. In many states there are some current SES and 21st CCLC service providers that do not have demonstrated track records of success or adequate evaluation measures in place. Moreover, in the current system, local school districts are limited in their ability to reject providers who are failing to improve student performance or add to their overall development..
The flexibility sought in this waiver will provide the state and local districts with the ability to direct these resources to providers based on demonstrated effectiveness to best meet student needs, improve educational outcomes for all students and close achievement gaps. It will permit districts to enact further localized reforms such as requiring tutoring companies to make presentations or provide periodic data to validate their effectiveness, develop mechanisms for parental input on providers, align tutoring curriculum to new improved common education standards, and maximize the use of funding so that a greater number of eligible students who want supplemental services can be accommodated.
This will also allow school districts to have the discretion to use these funds not just for out-of-school activities, but to create their own extended learning time programs. For example in the Rochester City School District in New York currently, just 20 percent of the students who qualify for tutoring enroll in the program and of those 20 percent, many do not participate in enough hours of tutoring to effectively improve their educational outcomes. Under the proposed waiver, districts like Rochester can better direct this funding to new in-school extended learning activities to better capture opportunities for students to receive this extended tutoring while they are in-school.
As our country's educational performance rankings drop in comparison with other nations, it's clear that we need innovative new ways to strengthen our schools and provide more hours of learning to supplement the education our students currently receive. This proposal seeks to implement these types of innovations and I ask that you give it full and fair consideration.
Charles E. Schumer
U.S. Senator

The Salvation Army is one step closer to getting back to normal after that devastating fire destroyed its thrift store.
Wednesday, a temporary store will open in its place, at the old Sam's Club building off Raymond Road. Volunteers are still looking for donations for the store.
"Donations are great, we are in need of appliances, furniture but everything else been coming in as expected," said Kellie Hannah, supervisor at the Salvation Army Donation Warehouse.
The Salvation Army's family thrift store went up in flames earlier this month, demolition of the building starts next week.
Thanks to the donations the Salvation Army have accepted so far, there is enough to open the temporary store.
"It was an item that we could no longer use and I figured if it can benefit someone else, I'll be happy to donate it," said Jackie Quine, from Terry.
The next few days will be busy for workers as they prepare for its opening.
"We're getting organized, we are overloaded and we're thankful for the community and I just want to say thank you to the community for donating and giving us what we need and putting us back where we need to be," said Hannah.
The temporary store is scheduled to open next Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.

Did you know?
The average weight of trout in South Africa's rivers is 1kg, although they can grow up to 8kg.
Trout fishing in South Africa began at the start of the 20th century when some Loch Leven stock (brown trout) were imported from Scotland. Ten years later, rainbow trout were brought in.
Today, the streams, rivers and dams of South Africa are full of both – and it has become a multi-million rand business.
Certain towns are devoted to trout fishing. Take Dullstroom, a village in Mpumalanga, for instance. The decidedly Scottish weather brings mist into this rocky terrain, where the Wellington gumboot and the Woolly Bugger lure rule. At weekends, the place is awash with fly-fishers as urbanites gather to talk, catch and cook trout.
Up in the high streams of the Drakensberg there is abundant food for the trout, and so, despite the fact that the water source is often just a healthy trickle, the trout grow very large at altitude.
The best trout fishing can be found in the mountains inland of Cape Town, along the Lesotho border along the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and in the eastern Free State, in the Clarens area.
The Somerset East area has lately become known as great fly-fishing country too. Local trout man Alan Hobson comments: 'Trout fishing is a little like Cluedo. You've got to see what's actually happening. What insects are flying around? Do you see moths in the grass? They will be the ones you need to imitate. Look at the way a trout rises. That shows you what it's eating and at what stage of development it is. Look out for wind channels on the water.
'You're just focused on water. It's like you're working out a puzzle, and you're completely transported. It's mental therapy.'

How to get here
Because of the remote location of South Africa's top trout fishing spots, your most convenient option is to hire a 4x4 from the airport you intend to land at.
Best time to visit
The dry winter months (May to September) are the best for trout fishing. The activity is, however, available throughout the year.
Get around
Due to the rugged terrain surrounding the best trout fishing spots, a 4X4 vehicle would be best.
What to eat
Most restaurants in South Africa's prime trout fishing areas pride themselves on their trout specialities.

"This is bigger than life itself. When I was coming up, I always thought they put in who they wanted to put it. I didn't think my vote mattered. But I don't think that anymore."
The speaker of these words is Deddrick Battle, a black janitor who grew up in St. Louis's notorious Pruitt-Igoe housing projects during the 1950s and 1960s.
Battle was speaking about the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama. He was quoted on the front page of last Sunday's New York Times in a story about the pride many African Americans are naturally feeling in Obama's candidacy. The story contained numerous examples of American blacks who have been encouraged by the Obama phenomenon to think for the first time that "politics is for them, too" [1].
It is a welcome democratic development for people who previously felt disenfranchised to become engaged in the political process. And I have no doubt that expanded black turnout is going to be (I am writing on the Monday before the 2008 election) a major factor in Obama's victory, something that will remove the more viciously reactionary of the nation's two dominant business parties from executive power for at least four years.
But, as The New York Times' editors certainly know, "they" still "put in who they want to put in" to no small extent. The predominantly white U.S. business and political establishment still makes sure that nobody who questions dominant domestic and imperial hierarchies and doctrines can make a serious ("viable") run for higher office – the presidency, above all. It does this by denying adequate campaign funding (absolutely essential to success in an age of super-expensive, media-driven campaigns) and favorable media treatment (without which a successful campaign is unimaginable at the current stage of corporate media consolidation and power) to candidates who step beyond the narrow boundaries of elite opinion. Thanks to these critical electoral filters and to the legally mandated U.S. winner-take-all "two party" system [2], a candidate who even remotely questions corporate and imperial power is not permitted to make a strong bid for the presidency.
Barack Obama is no exception to the rule. Anyone who thinks he could have risen to power without prior and ongoing ruling class approval is living in a dream world.
Conventional wisdom holds that Obama entered national politics with his instantly famous keynote address to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. But, as Ken Silverstein noted in Harper's in the fall of 2006, "If the speech was his debut to the wider American public, he had already undergone an equally successful but much quieter audition with Democratic Party leaders and fund-raisers, without whose support he would surely never have been chosen for such a prominent role at the convention.
The favorable elite assessment of Obama began in October of 2003. That's when "Vernon Jordan, the well-known power broker and corporate board-member who chaired Bill Clinton's presidential transition team after the 1992 election, placed calls to roughly twenty of his friends and invited them to a fund-raiser at his home. That event," Silverstein noted, "marked his entry into a well-established Washington ritual—the gauntlet of fund-raising parties and meet-and-greets through which potential stars are vetted by fixers, donors, and lobbyists."
Drawing on his undoubted charm, wit, intelligence, and Harvard credentials, Obama passed this trial with shining colors. At a series of social meetings with assorted big "players" from the financial, legal and lobbyist sectors, Obama impressed key establishment figures like Gregory Craig (a longtime leading attorney and former special counsel to the White House), Mike Williams (the legislative director of the Bond Market Association), Tom Quinn (a partner at the top corporate law firm Venable and a leading Democratic Party "power broker"), and Robert Harmala, another Venable partner and "a big player in Democratic circles."
Craig liked the fact that Obama was not a racial "polarizer" on the model of past African-American leaders like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Williams was soothed by Obama's reassurances that he was not "anti-business" and became "convinced…that the two could work together."
"There's a reasonableness about him," Harmala told Silverstein. "I don't see him as being on the liberal fringe."
By Silverstein's account, the good "word about Obama spread through Washington's blue-chip law firms, lobby shops, and political offices, and this accelerated after his win in the March [2004] Democratic primary." Elite financial, legal, and lobbyists contributions came into Obama's coffers at a rapid and accelerating pace [3].
The "good news" for Washington and Wall Street insiders was that Obama's "star quality" would not be directed against the elite segments of the business class. The interesting black legislator from the South Side of Chicago was "someone the rich and powerful could work with." According to Obama biographer and Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendell, in late 2003 and early 2004:
Word of Obama's rising star was now spreading beyond Illinois, especially through influential Washington political circles like blue chip law firms, party insiders, lobbying houses. They were all hearing about this rare, exciting, charismatic, up-and-coming African American who unbelievably could win votes across color lines…..[his handlers and] influential Chicago supporters and fund-raisers all vigorously worked their D.C. contacts to help Obama make the rounds with the Democrats' set of power brokers. …Obama…spent a couple of days and nights shaking hands making small talk and delivering speeches to liberal groups, national union leaders, lobbyists, fund-raisers and well-heeled money donors. In setting after setting, Obama's Harvard Law resume and his reasonable tone impressed the elite crowd
According to Mendell, Obama now cultivated the support of the privileged few by "advocate[ing] fiscal restraint" and "calling for pay-as-you-go government" and "extol[ing] the merits of free trade and charter schools." He "moved beyond being an obscure good-government reformer to being a candidate more than palatable to the moneyed and political establishment." [4].
"Reasonable tone" was code language with a useful translation for Obama's new business-class backers: "friendly to capitalism and its opulent masters."
"On condition of anonymity," Silverstesin reported two years ago, "one Washington lobbyist I spoke with was willing to point out the obvious: that big donors would not be helping out Obama if they didn't see him as a 'player.' The lobbyist added: 'What's the dollar value of a starry-eyed idealist?'"
Since his election to the U.S. Senate and through the presidential campaign, the "deeply conservative" (according to New Yorker writer Larissa MacFarquhar) Obama has done nothing to undermine his "palatability" to concentrated economic and political power. He has made his safety to the power elite evident on matters both domestic and global, from his support for bailing out parasitic Wall Street financial firms with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars (while claiming to be "a free market guy" and proclaiming "love" for "capitalism") to his refusal to question the morality of U.S. colonial wars and his strident support for maintaining a globally unmatched "defense" (empire) budget that accounts for nearly half the world's military spending. As Edward S. Herman and David Peterson note in an important recent article, "in 2007-08, Obama has placated establishment circles on virtually every front imaginable, the candidate of 'change we can believe in' has visited interest group after interest group to promise them that they needn't fear any change in the way they're familiar with doing business" [5].
It's all very consistent with Obama's history stretching back to his days as the Republican-pleasing editor of the Harvard Law Review and his climb up the corporate-friendly politics of Chicago. As Ryan Lizza noted in The New Yorker last July, "Perhaps the greatest misconception about Barack Obama is that he is some sort of anti-establishment revolutionary. Rather, every stage of his political career has been marked by an eagerness to accommodate himself to existing institutions rather than tear them down or replace them" [6].
Obama's business-friendly centrism has helped him garner an astonishing, record-setting stash of corporate cash. He has received more than $33 million from "FIRE," the finance-real-estate and insurance sector. His winnings include $824,202 from the leading global investment firm Goldman Sachs [7]. He has been consistently backed by the biggest and most powerful Wall Street firms.
At the same time and by more than mere coincidence, Obama has enjoyed a remarkable windfall of favorable corporate media coverage. That media treatment is the key to Obama's success in winning support and donations from the middle-class and from non-affluent people like Deddrick Battle.
This does not mean that the Obama phenomenon has raised no concerns among the rich and powerful. As Herman and Peterson note, "Obama's race, his background, his enthusiastic, and less predictable constituency, and the occasional slivers of populism that creep into his campaign, make the establishment nervous, whereas Hillary Clinton and John McCain clearly posed no such threat."
Still, the monied elite's most reactionary wing has used its formidable media and propaganda system to keep the Obama "movement" safely within conservative boundaries. It has employed a series of neo-McCarthyite anti-radical and related racial scare tactics including the Jeremiah Wright Affair and subsequent public relations campaigns surrounding alleged Obama links to "terrorist" charter-school advocate William Ayers and "radical professor" Rashid Khalidi. It has sought to link the openly capitalist Obama to the "anti-American" threat of "socialism," alleging that that the harbors a nefarious desire to "redistribute" wealth.
At the same time, many in the establishment sense (accurately) that Obama is particularly well-suited to the goal of wrapping corporate politics and the related American Empire Project in insurgent garb. Their profit- and empire-based system and "leadership" has been behaving so badly that a major image makeover is required to keep the rabble (the citizenry) in line. Once he was properly "vetted" and found to be "reasonable" – to be someone who would not fundamentally question dominant power structures and doctrines – Obama's multicultural background, race, youth, charisma, and even his early opposition to the Iraq War became useful to corporate and imperial elites. His outwardly progressive "change" persona is perfectly calibrated to divert, capture, control, and contain coming popular rebellions. He is uniquely qualified to simultaneously surf, de-fang, and "manage" the U.S. and world citizenry's hopes for radical and democratic transformation in the wake of the Bush-Cheney nightmare. As John Pilger warned last May
"What is Obama's attraction to big business? Precisely the same as Robert Kennedy's [in 1968]. By offering a 'new,' young and apparently progressive face of Democratic Party – with the bonus of being a member of the black elite – he can blunt and divert real opposition. That was Colin Powell's role as Bush's secretary of state. An Obama victory will bring intense pressure on the US antiwar and social justice movements to accept a Democratic administration for all its faults. If that happens, domestic resistance to rapacious America will fall silent" [8].
Obama's race is no small part of what makes him "uniquely qualified" to perform the key tasks of mass pacification for which he has been hired task in question. As Aurora Levins Morales noted in a Z Magazine essay written for left progressives last April:
"We're far more potent as organizers and catalysts than as voters. Our ability to create a world we can thrive on does not depend on who wins this election, it depends on our ability to dismantle profit-based societies in which greed trumps ethics. This election is about finding a CEO capable of holding domestic constituencies in check as they are furthered disenfranchised and… [about]mak[ing] them feel that they have a stake in the military aggressiveness that the ruling class believes is necessary. Having a black man and a white woman run helps to obscure the fact that …decline of empire is driving the political elite to the right. Both [Obama and Hillary Clinton] represent very reactionary politics…Part of the cleverness of having such candidates is the fact that they will be attacked in ways that make oppressed people feel compelled to protect them" [9].
The logic works at the global as well as the domestic level. A considerable segment of the U.S. foreign policy establishment thinks that Obama's race, name (technically Islamic), experience living (Muslim Indonesia, as a child) in and visiting (chiefly his father's homeland Kenya) poor nations and his nominally anti-Iraq War history will help them repackage the U.S. imperial project (replete with more than 730 military bases located in nearly every nation on Earth) in softer and more politically correct cover [10]. John Kerry, who ran for the presidency four years earlier largely on the claim that he would be a more effective manager of empire (and the Iraq War) than George W. Bush [11], was certainly thinking of these critical imperial "soft power" assets when he praised Obama as someone who could "reinvent America's image abroad" [11A]. So was Obama himself when he said the following to reporters abroad his campaign plane in the fall of 2007:
"If I am the face of American foreign policy and American power, as long as we are making prudent strategic decisions, handling emergences, crises, and opportunities in the world in an intelligent and sober way….I think that if you can tell people, 'We have a president in the White House who still has a grandmother living in a hut on the shores of Lake Victoria and has a sister who's half-Indonesian, married to a Chinese-Canadian,' then they're going to think that he may have a better sense of what's going on in our lives and country. And they'd be right" [12].
What Obama didn't tell reporters was that his idea of "prudent" and "intelligent" foreign policy is strongly committed to U.S. global hyper-militarism and world supremacy, including unilateral action whenever "we" deem it necessary to "protect the American people and their vital interests" [13].
Obama's distinctive biography is one of his great attractions to the mostly white U.S. foreign policy elite in a majority non-white world that has been deeply provoked and disgusted by U.S. behavior in the post-9/11 era (and truthfully before). He is a perfect symbol of deceptive imperial "re-branding." According to the unconsciously power-worshipping and imperialist New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof two weeks ago, the election of a black president "could change global perceptions of the United States, redefining the American 'brand' to be less about Guantanamo and more about equality"[14]. Never mind that the U.S. remains the most unequal and wealth-top-heavy country in the industrialized world by far, strongly dedicated to maintaining steep socioeconomic and disparity within and between nations and scarred by a domestic racial wealth gap of seven black cents on the white dollar.
Call it "the identity politics of foreign policy." The Empire wants new clothes and Obama is just the man to wear them.
Such is the dark authoritarian reality lurking behind the pride and excitement felt by Deddrick Battle and many other poor and black voters who have been inspired by the Obama phenomenon to think that "politics is for them too." President Obama can be counted on to use their new faith in reactionary and imperial ways reflecting hidden allegiance to the timeworn elite principle that really big matters of politics and policy are for the rich and powerful – not ordinary citizens – at the end of the day Obama's job is to keep the restless poor, working class, and global Many safely pacified while serving the needs of the wealthy and imperial Few. It's a deadly juggling act that could have terrible consequences. How long he can maintain the illusion of serving the interests of the people and the elite at one and the same time is an open question.
The sooner seriously left agitators and activists can expose the corporate-imperial truth behind the progressive façade to disenfranchised people at home and abroad, the quicker we can get to real social and democratic change beyond the ruling class's latest quadrennial candidate-centered electoral extravaganza.

"…At the end of the day, Germany would have run a bigger deficit (i.e. coming from the losses reflecting the guarantees), higher interest rates, lower ratings, a weaker financial system with bigger deposit runs…â€
Click here to read this article in pdf format:Â May 29 2012
In our last letter, we dealt with the issue of (EUR/USD) liquidity in the capital markets and although we described some facts, we did not mention a relevant one: That while the 3-month EURUSD swap basis has not risen, the 3-yr (and longer term) has. In other words, the spread between the two bases has widened, as the chart below shows (source: Bloomberg).
This steepening, in our view (and we welcome readers' feedback), is caused by the existence of the 3-yr LTROs (Long-term refinancing operations), established by the European Central Bank (ECB) at the end of 2011, beginning of 2012, coupled with the 3-month Fed currency swaps. As is also visible from the chart, in the past, the widening (i.e. steepening) of this spread of the EURUSD basis curve was corrected with (i.e. preceded) interventions. Is there one coming soon? A long-term currency swap? For three years? We doubt it, given we're only a few months away from the US presidential election, and not only do we doubt it: We also think that should there be one, its effect would be very marginal.
During the past week, one rumored alternative intervention was a blanket guarantee on euro denominated deposits, across the European Union. We will explain why we think it would not work:
A guarantee is a contingency. According to generally accepted accounting principles, they way to record a loss contingency is to show a liability, against a loss. This means that in the balance sheet of the corporation issuing the guarantee, liabilities will rise and the value of equity, by the same amount, will fall.
In corporate finance, these contingencies must be shown every time that the following conditions are simultaneously met:
a)Â Â Â Â Â Â Information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred,
b)Â Â Â Â Â Â The amount of loss can be reasonably estimated
Indeed, national accounting is not corporate accounting. But principles are principles and at the end of the day, it is the private sector, people, that end up holding euros to be guaranteed by Bunds.
Should, as the rumor spread, Germany and others from core Europe, offer the guarantee to the ECB to back liquidity, the value of their own liabilities would fall, helped by the corresponding downgrade of the ratings agencies. In other words, the benchmark rate of the Euro zone, the bund yield (i.e. German sovereign bonds), would increase. The asset, the Bunds, would have been impaired, as condition (a) states. This would fuel the ongoing recession within the Union, possibly buffered a bit by the fall in the value of the Euro and capital gains (stock gains) in Euro financials.
An answer to this would come from the ECB, via purchases of Bunds. With them, the expansion of Euros would be driven by the purchase of Bunds and all and any support left for Bunds from the private sector would be lost, just like it was lost for the long-term US Treasury bonds: As you may know, under Operation Twist, the Fed purchased 91% of all 20-30 yr gross issuances!!
At the end of the day, Germany would have run a bigger deficit (i.e. coming from the losses reflecting the guarantees), higher interest rates, lower ratings, a weaker financial system with bigger deposit runs (now affecting core European banks), and a currency of lower value….The question is…..What makes you think  Germany will want to go for this?

Way back in July, a much simpler time when we all lived in blissful ignorance of what "twerkin'" was, gamers took part in AddictingGames' first-ever "Create Your Own Game" Game, answering Facebook polls to help shape a game that would actually be created by AddictingGames. Letting gamers create their own game!? AddictingGames must be a bunch of suckers. WAIT, ADDICTINGGAMES IS US!!
UH OH! Do we have the game yet? No? Another week or so before it's released? Uhhhh, dang it. OK, think, AG, think. Have we shown any concept art yet? We did? Crap. Have we revealed the storyline and title? We did that, too!? Geez. What else can we share before we release the game next week? Do we have an interview with Seven2, the developers of the game who include creative director Brandon DeLauney, lead designer/animator Justin Baldwin, developers Bradley Baysinger and Keely Honeywell, writer Mark White and designer Zach Grassi? We do!? Well, hot dog! What are the odds!?
Here, read this and we'll get the game to you next week! Promise!
What was your first reaction when you heard what type of game the AG audience picked?
We laughed, then we panicked. OK, not really. We knew it'd be a challenge to make a game with those parameters, but we also LOVED the challenge of making a game with those parameters. It made us get super-extra creative.
What game ideas were left on the cutting room floor?
At one point, there was a character named Brenda who turned into Bad Brenda and oversaw the post-apocalyptic world's most popular reality show. But Bad Brenda wanted too much money to appear in the game. She was both bad and rather greedy.
Any must-know tips before playing this game?
Click on everything you can, think outside the box and make sure to take bathroom breaks.
Whose mom was the in-game mom based on?
She was designed to be everyone's mom and nobody's mom at the same time. Imagine a normal mom and then make her evil and menacing with a slightly more dated sense of fashion.
What was your inspiration for the apocalypse? Does it parallel with other big apocalyptic stories in pop culture?
The game's apocalypse has some similarities to the ones you've seen, but also some cool differences. We were inspired by "The Book of Eli," "The Road," "Children of Men," "Mad Max" and a few ketchup commercials.
Can we expect any Easter eggs in this game?
Does a chicken have lips?
Fill-in & Answer: How much __________ did you drink while making this game?
Water, Diet Coke and badger milk — all in the recommended daily amounts. We can also tell you we'll definitely be drinking a lot of _________ when the game is completed.

Flooding: Homes and firms face a clean-up operation
9:30am Friday 23rd November 2012 in News
HOMEowners and businesses were yesterday clearing up the damage after downpours hit Oxfordshire.
In the 36 hours between 3am on Tuesday and 3pm on Wednesday, the county saw 45.6mm of rain fall – and about half as much again was expected last night and over the weekend.
Eight homes in Bloxham, near Banbury, and at least two homes in Leafield, West Oxfordshire, were flooded on Wednesday.
Bloxham Parish Council chairman Dave Chapman said: "The flooding was as bad as usual when the rain started coming down. It was very bad along some of the roads.
"The flood group was out trying to sort the problems out and many residents were helping too, with sandbags and everything.
"Even though the water had abated by the evening, the damage had already been done.
"We really have to say thank-you to the fire service and the emergency services. They did a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances."
Meanwhile, Paul Winters, owner of Kidlington Caravans, returned from lunch on Wednesday to find his Cassington workshop flooded.
He said: "The water was running into my workshop like a river. There was a foot of water right across the workshop. The Environment Agency said it was down to farmers not clearing ditches."
He added: "I cannot work in here because of the damp.
"It has ruined today and possibly tomorrow. I am probably not going to be able to work until Monday now."
The water spoiled caravan cushions, wood and carpets, but his tools were not hit. He had sawdust down and hot-air blowers running yesterday.
Meanwhile a boat overturned by Osney Lock in Oxford.
Environment Agency staff assessed the situation but left it for police because the boat was not blocking the waterway or raising the risk of flooding.
Police were last night trying to contact the owner, whose responsibility it will be to move the boat.

CATEGORIES MoviesHave you ever seen those eerie paintings of children with enormous, sad eyes? They're often collected by people with a taste for kitsch and/or creeping out their guests. Ever wondered about the artist behind them? It's Margaret Keane, and soon you'll know everything you ever wanted to know her and her husband Walter thanks to a new Tim Burton movie in development, appropriately titled "Big Eyes."
Burton is directing a script by screenwriting duo Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander, who worked with Burton on his wonderful "Ed Wood." Their other projects run the gamut from the Andy Kaufman biopic "Man on the Moon" to "The People vs. Larry Flynt" to ... "Agent Cody Banks." "Big Eyes" is all about the aftermath of Walter and Margaret's divorce and eventual lawsuit over who was the real painter behind the incredibly successful works.
Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams are in talks to star, which would be a refreshing change for Burton and his ongoing bromance with Johnny Depp -- a relationship that some say has worked to the duo's detriment. Waltz has won two Oscars for his work in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained," but hasn't really broken out in the United States other than that. Adams, of course, is a multiple Oscar nominee with an incredible range; she stole "The Master" out from under Philip Seymour Hoffman, led "The Muppets" to success, and sang her heart out as the starry-eyed princess in "Enchanted." Her next film is "Man of Steel," where she's starring as Lois Lane alongside Henry Cavill's Superman.
Tim Burton's animated feature "Frankenweenie" snagged an Oscar nomination, but even the most stalwart Burton fans have noticed his stumbles with "Dark Shadows" and "Alice in Wonderland." Will "Big Eyes" refresh Burton's career?

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram is setting some lofty personal goals for himself this season, now that he's finally healthy.
Ingram trained twice a day for a month leading into the Saints training camp and says he's in his best shape ever as a pro. The Heisman Trophy-winning running back wants to prove it by translating his college stats into the pros.
"You always want to be above four yards a carry, but I like to be around four-and-a-half or five. That's where I usually was in college, around five yards a carry," Ingram said. "That's just a goal. That's a high number and that will put you with some of the elite backs in the league with around five yards a carry. You just work at it and try and be as productive as you can."
Ingram says, although that benchmark is ambitious, he's lost weight and is feeling faster and more decisive. He's confident those factors, along with a growing comfortableness with the offense, will lead to more touches for him this season.

Weight staying steady. I am so anxious to see a brand new number. Only 4 lbs away. This would be the point at which I used to start binging. So grateful for my new plan.
I slept fine last night. I remembered that Thursday night I had been at a friend's house drinking strong coffee until after 7 pm.
I am doing supplement experiments. Slowly adding stuff back. I had some anxiety etc. last night. I think that I am close to done with the aminos, but not quite. Another month at the lowest doses and then I will drop them. Julia Ross says amino supplementation should be temporary if you get nutrition in line.

Following a 3-2 loss to Vancouver and a 5-3 loss to Winnipeg, the Sharks' prospect team looks to finish their Young Stars tournament on a high note this evening during a 5:30 tilt with their counterparts from the Calgary Flames organization. The real Flames are going to be terrible this season but the sampling from their pipeline they've brought to Penticton is enviable. It includes uber-prospect Sven Baertschi, 6th overall pick Sean Monahan and fellow 2013 first rounders Morgan Klimchuk and Emile Poirier.
Calgary is undefeated, having outscored Vancouver and Edmonton by a combined 9 goals to 3 thus far in the tournament, so the Sharks certainly have their hands full. San Jose will likely be without defenseman Mirco Mueller, who was crosschecked into the end boards Thursday night and didn't skate Friday. The Flames' official website is streaming today's game and we'll embed the video here as soon as it goes live.
Edit: Here's the stream.

Like all good cakes, it has a "key ingredient". We don't keep our recipe as a "family secret" but we won't reveal the "key ingredient" until everyone has tasted the cake. We have a reason for it: as soon as we reveal it, everyone puts ugly faces exclaiming how gross and weird it is to use that for a cake. Most don't believe us, they think we still keep a secret, and hence, never try what we do at home.
The key ingredient is (drums roll, please): cooking oil. That's right, cooking oil. No, we don't "fry" the cake as someone once dared to suggest (he was weird, not us). We simply use cooking oil (vegetable oil) instead of butter. And it might be not like that where you are,- I have seen many online cake recipes using cooking oil- but here, a cake without butter simply strike many housewives and cookers. That's why, strange as it sounds, the recipe has remained exclusive for all this year; as my family tradition. A tradition which now could be questioned.
With a serious cooking (vegetable) oil shortage and with my nephew' birthday coming soon; the cake has been a worrisome topic at home. My sister tried making a cake using butter and it tasted weird. Like bad- weird. Perhaps she did something wrong or more likely, we are simply not used to cakes made with butter. Let's face it: for us butter and cake don't go in the same sentence. Those cakes are heavier and look way too yellow. The second possibility is to buy one; but that's an insult to my "cake Masters" (self given title, that's for sure) family.
While we search, supermarket after supermarket, popular markets and convenient stores for a bottle of cooking oil (we need even less than that for one cake); my nephew plays around the house wearing a weird blue-red outfit. He screams: "Don't worry, I'm going up there to save you!" - then he raise his arms and makes the fumiest sound ever. For him there are no shortages, or crisis, or revolution. For him there is just a world as big as our home, filled with "people in danger" (actually, toys in danger) which he must save.
He's clueless (and he should be clueless) about all those things we adults worry about; the things - we hope - he will know by asking us for old stories or by reading them in history books.
And he probably won't even care whether his cake is the usual "family cake" or not; as long as it has a Spider-man figure and four little candles on top.

Fred Windisch Surf Photography from the 1960's: San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Pacifica, & Oregon.
A remarkable artist and filmmaker, Fred celebrated the art of surfing with his creativity and inventive spirit. Fred was just 18-21 years old when he took these photos, offering a rare and personal glimpse into what life was like as the sport was just beginning to take off in San Francisco, Pacifica, Santa Cruz and Oregon. His photographs, years ahead of their time, capture more than a sport–they capture a way of life.
This collection of 189 photos was brought to life by Helen Windisch and designed by Laura Windisch.
Fred also produced three videos: The Natural Art (1969), City Slikker
(1974) and Tam Jam. His unique vision and love for surfing live on through these videos, photographs, and in our memories.

Three new electric car charging stations are now open in downtown Toledo at Superior and Adams.
Toledo News Now's Amanda St. Hilaire was able to show people how to use the new charging stations on Your Morning, and talk about how the new car chargers may help economic development.
Electric car owners can fill up for free, as long as they pay for parking. The new car chargers cost the city $7,200, which came from the city's public service budget.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 24, 2013 CONTACT: Pamela Weaver, (601) 270-4100
School land revenue tops $89-Million
Record numbers attributed to sound management practices
Jackson, Miss.-Revenue generated from 16th Section land across the State reached record levels in 2012, approximately $89,223,643-all of which goes directly to the education of our children.
"This $89-Million will help alleviate some of the financial headaches faced by our school districts today. In times of serious cutbacks and strict budgets, we were able to increase revenue generated on these public lands to benefit education," says Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
Revenue from 16th Section lands has increased approximately $34-Million per year since Secretary Hosemann took office.
"I made a promise I would protect our public lands for schoolchildren. Time and time again, we have seen attempts to raid 16th Section land funds for short term gains," adds Secretary Hosemann. "This increase in funding shows sound management practices are producing cash results."
Secretary Hosemann's 16th Section Reforms include:
* Placing all 16th Section leases on the Agency website to provide full, open transparency to the public;
* Entering into a historic Memorandum of Understanding with the Mississippi Forestry Commission to develop forest management plans for school districts to better manage and conserve this natural resource, while increasing timber revenue generated from public lands;
* Increasing oil royalty payments on public lands from 1/8th to 3/16th and higher; and,
* Monitoring timber cuts to ensure school districts receive fair value for valuable resources.
For more information regarding the leasing of 16th Section lands, visit the Secretary of State's website at: http://sos.ms.gov/public_lands_16th_section_lands.aspx

I can't believe why this isn't a bigger issue on the forums. When I place a breakpoint inside a Windows form i get the message "No Source Available" from Visual Studio.
I'm using Application.ShowModalDialog(..) to launch the dialog.
How can people develop code without being able to debug? This has been an issue for some versions now and the NEXTFIBERWORLD=0 is not a solution for me since the whole AddIn acts strange when i do that. All I find when searching for this is the NEXTFIBERWORLD trick.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem
Solved! Go to Solution.
"I'm using Application.ShowModalDialog(..) to launch the dialog."
Don't, modal dialogs have lots of issues inside AutoCAD, layout tabs freezing weird flickering when closing etc. I could never make them work properly.
OK, but how would you recommend launching a modal dialog.
Why would you want to use modal?! Is it positioning relative to the parent you are interested in?!
If I set NEXTFIBERWORLD=1 and use .ShowModelessDialog(..) i get strange eLockViolation errors that shouldn't occur.
BlockTableRecord blk = (BlockTableRecord)tr.GetObject(blkId, OpenMode.ForWrite, false);
I guess NEXTFIBERWORLD is the only workaround of any use, except it seems to have side effects in my case.
How Autodesk can live with this is a mystery to me. How can anyone develop code without the use of a debugger? I is like going back in time.
Uh!? What issues with using modal dialog box are you referring to that lead to your conclusion of not using it?
As matter of fact, most dialog boxes in most custom AutoCAD add-in tools usually are modal dialog box. To say "do not use modal dialog box" is a bit too much, IMO.
To the OP:
Yes, iin order to debug code behind win form, you need to set FIBERWORLD to 0. with AutoCAD 2010 to 2014. I am not sure what other things you say about AutoCAD not working properly when FIBERWORLD=0, other than menu/ribbon stopped working, which can be worked around by using command line.
If you structure your code well (e.g. simplifying the dialog box' code behind to only handle user interaction itself and moing heavy AutoCAD processing code outside the form code), you can focus on debugging the form code while setting FIBERWORLD=0 and after that, set it back to 1 and debugging your AutoCAD processing code. It is a bit hussle to switch FIBERWORLD between 0 and 1, because each time you need to restart AutoCAD. But there is nothing we can do for now. We can only hope the FIBER thing goes away in future AutoCAD release(s), as Autodesk hinted, one day.
Also, if you do use modeless dialog box for some reasons (in most case you probably should not), make sure you need to lock the document before doing anything to a document/database, or you'll run into eLockViolation error.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- A 14-year-old South Texas boy from a well-known quarterback lineage has committed to play football at LSU.
Eighth-grader Zadock Dinkelmann orally committed to the Tigers on Friday. He's the nephew of Ty and Koy Detmer. Ty Detmer won the 1990 Heisman Trophy at BYU and Koy Detmer was an All-Big 12 player at Colorado. Both had long careers in the NFL.
The 6-foot-4 Dinkelmann plays for a junior high in Somerset, southwest of San Antonio. The San Antonio Express-News reports (http://bit.ly/1c1yhbz ) he committed three days after LSU offered him a scholarship and six months before he can compete in high school.
The teen's nonbinding declaration continues a trend of adolescents committing to play in college. He's the third known junior high student from Texas to commit this school year.

Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a law that allows some 17-year-old Illinoisans to vote in primary elections.
The measure says that if the teenager will be 18 by the general election, they can vote in the primary. Quinn says the idea is to allow more voters to get to the polls and hopes it will encourage young adults to take on civic duties.
The law takes effect Jan 1.
Democratic state Sen. Terry Link is a sponsor. He says his birthday was once two days after a primary and he was disappointed he couldn't vote then. He hopes the law means there'll be more young voter participation.
Quinn signed the bill at a school in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire.
The bill is HB226.

A McMinn County woman says she has been unfairly accused of hoarding puppies, after she rescued them from a nearby home. We first brought you the story on Wednesday. Teresa Evans rescued more than a dozen puppies and is trying to find a good home for them. After our story aired, Channel 3 received calls saying she was reluctant to give them away.One woman tells Channel 3 she drove two hours to meet Teresa to pick up one of the puppies, but Teresa changed her mind. Teresa says she just wants to make sure each puppy is placed in the right kind of home."I've had people that have called that maybe had already had three or four dogs, large dogs in the home, that I didn't think it was a good idea to take a six-week-old puppy into," says Teresa Evans.Teresa Evans will be the first to admit she has an undying love for helping animals. Channel 3 was there as she gave away one of the puppies she rescued from a trailer on County Road 561, where she said around 30 dogs were roaming free, after the man renting the home left them to fend for themselves. So far, nine of the dogs have found good homes.Evans says her passion may be misunderstood. She says she does not want to give the dogs away to just anybody."Everybody that has adopted, I've got their name, phone number, their address. I've got everything but their social security number."And she plans to do follow up to check on the dogs. She admits, she is attached to the dogs."Yes, I cry every time I give one away. Because I'm sitting here thinking, 'Okay, maybe I should have kept this one or that one.'"But Evans wants to be clear about one thing: she says she is not in it for the money. She says the only thing she requires of the adoptive parents is to spay or neuter the dogs, and make sure they get vaccinated."I'm not asking nothing of anybody that they county pounds do not ask of somebody, expect I'm not charging them the $70 re-home fee," says Evans.We do want to clarify what was reported previously. It was the renter of the trailer, not the owner of the property that abandoned the dogs. If you'd like more info on the puppies, you can call Teresa at 423-453-7341.

The Raleigh man charged with making threats against Mayor
Nancy McFarlane may have had ties to anti-government and white supremacist
Alec Dane Redner, 27, was arrested Jan. 15 on charges of
threatening an executive, legal or court officer, and communicating threats.
Raleigh Police spokesman Jim Sughrue said the threats did
not come through the city's website or to the mayor's email address. However he
did say the threats came through some sort of electronic communication.
Search warrants for Redner's home reveal he was previously arrested on
May 6, 2010, when he avoided a DWI checkpoint and lead deputies on a car chase.
Once apprehended, Redner was found to be in possession of an AR-15 assault-type
rifle, anti-government documents and literature related to the Aryan Nation.
Redner is accused of posting threats to the mayor's website on Jan. 13.
The threats were made in the form of a comment, which said,
"You make a joke about the U.S. Constitution but soon you will on the
other end of barrel [expletive], watch out."
The comment came from an email address associated with the
name "AntiZionist," which was then traced back to an IP address from Redner's
home on Brass Kettle Road.
When officers and deputies with the Wake County Sheriff's
Office attempted to contact the residents at Redner's home, Redner was observed
at the residence but refused to open the door and then was seen fleeing from
the home.
A Smith & Wesson 357 box, .357 casing, 27 Winchester .40
caliber rounds, Smith & Wesson magazine and four 12-gauge shotgun rounds
were seized from Redner's home, although it was not immediately clear to whom
the ammunition belonged. The home on Brass Kettle Road belongs to Deborah Singer.

Gabriel Gonzaga and Dave Herman met at their career crossroads in the heavyweight division. For Napao it was an opportunity to prove that his years of experience and technical abilities meant more than Dave Herman's continually untapped potential. Neither fighter had much chance of making a run at the top of the division, but one of them would at least stick around for a few more fights.
When the clock struck and the guns were drawn it was Gabriel Gonzaga left standing. Seventeen seconds into the opening round he blitzed through a lazy kick and caught Herman flush with an overhand right. A couple of follow up strikes sealed the deal and gave Gonzaga what may have been one of the most important wins of his career. Gabriel Gonzaga def. Dave Herman via KO (punch) at 0:17 of Round 1.
What was the high point?
The KO of course. That was pretty much the fight; one crushing right hand.
What was the low point?
Dave Herman's potential. I doubt he'll ever get another shot in the UFC.
Where do they go from here?
For Gonzaga he's earned the right to hang around and test himself against the low end of the UFC's heavyweight division for a while. Roy Nelson would be a fun fight if the UFC still wants to see the back of one of them. Otherwise I'd recommend Derrick Lewis when he returns form injury as it keeps Gonzaga nicely in his gatekeeper role.
For Herman, he's gone, he's got to be. Anything less is a disservice to everyone else fighting in the organization.
Watch now, later, or never?
Watch it now. You can't spare 17 seconds? Of course you can.

The ever-changing uniforms of the Oregon Ducks have been the talk of college football for several years, and at a press conference on Tuesday, senior defensive end Dion Jordan shed some light on...
Oregon Ducks' dynamic freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota believes that communication will be the key to upending the Kansas State Wildcats in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday.
Heading into No. 4 Oregon's battle with No. 5 Kansas State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Ducks sophomore running back De'Anthony Thomas is preparing himself for a battle with a physical Wildcats squad.
The Arizona Cardinals finished in the NFL's cellar of SB Nation's power rankings after such a promising start to their season.

Cody Ross has made no secret that he doesn't like to play right field. Could it be the reason why he didn't resign with the Boston Red Sox?
