Evictions are driving long-time renters out of their homes -- and out of SF. Here are the stories of several people being evicted
02.05.13 - 6:29 pm | Rebecca Bowe and Dylan Tokar |
One TIC owner said he was financially burdened, but had only entered into the arrangement because "I wanted to stay here and raise my family, but we couldn't afford a single family home." Yet tenants brought their own set of concerns to the table, saying the temptation to create TICs was putting a major dent in the city's finite stock of rent-controlled units — the single greatest source of affordable housing in San Francisco.
"My feeling is, let's stop doing TICs," Tommi Avicolli Mecca, a tenants right activist with the Housing Rights Committee, told the Guardian following the hearing. "The city has to just start making sure that the condos that are built are the kind of thing [TIC buyers] can afford. Instead, we cannibalize our rental stock? That's a reasonable way? You evict one group of people to house another: How does that make sense?"
The grueling five-hour hearing illustrated the sad fact that San Franciscans in a slightly better economic position were being pitted against economically disadvantaged renters. The two groups were bitterly divided, and all seemed weary, furious, and frustrated by their housing situations.
The condo-conversion legislation, co-sponsored by Sups. Scott Wiener and Mark Farrell, did not move forward that day. Instead, Board President David Chiu made a motion to table the discussion until Feb. 25, to provide time for "an intensive negotiation process." Chiu, who rents his home, added: "While I myself would like to become a homeowner someday ... I do not support the legislation in its current form."
Sup. Jane Kim sought to appeal to the tenants as well as the TIC owners. "It's very tragic that we have set up a situation where [TICs and renters] are pitted against one another," she said. She hinted at what a possible alternative to might look like. "We should be looking at a ban of scale," she said. "If we allow 1,800 potential units to go thru this year, are we willing to do a freeze for the next 8 to 10 years?"
It's unclear what will happen in the next few weeks, but if this legislation makes it back to the full board in some form, the swing votes are expected to be Sups. London Breed, Malia Cohen and Norman Yee.
New protections were enacted following the late-90s frenzy to discourage real-estate speculators from using the Ellis Act to turn a profit on the backs of vulnerable seniors or disabled tenants. Yet a new wave of investors has discovered they can persuade tenants to leave voluntarily, simply by offering buyouts while simultaneously wielding the threat of an Ellis Act eviction. "The process got more sophisticated," explains San Francisco Rent Board Deputy Director Robert Collins.
Once a tenant has accepted a check in lieu of eviction, rent-controlled units can be converted to market rate, or refurbished and sold as pricey condos, without the legal hindrances of an eviction blemish. Buyouts aren't recorded with the Rent Board, and the agency has no real guidance for residents faced with this particular dilemma. "We don't have the true number on buyouts," says Mecca. "We don't know how many people have left due to intimidation."
Identity-wise, renters impacted by the Ellis Act defy categorization. A contingent of monolingual Chinese residents rallied outside City Hall recently to oppose legislation they believed would give rise to evictions; in the Mission, many targeted tenants are Latinos who primarily speak Spanish. From working immigrants, to aging queer activists, to disabled seniors, to idealists banding together in collective houses, the affected tenants do have one thing in common. When landlords or real-estate speculators perceive that their homes are more valuable unoccupied, their lives are susceptible to being upended by forces beyond their control.
People who work here must be able to live here.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph since you're obviously opinionating on a subject you know nothing about. I sell my newly constructed units for as much as someone will pay, ranging from $1 to $3 million. If I have to set aside a few units to meet city requirenments, it doesn't change the fact that I will sell the remaining units for as much as I can get.
Land buyers aren't stupid. They know what the rules are when they buy a piece of property that they hope to (re)develop, including the limits on what they can charge for any below-market housing requirements. The game isn't impacted by some miniscule below-market housing requirements. The real game is convincing the city zoning people to let me build more stories and at higher density than currently allowed. That's where the real money is made in speculation development.
No one charges a selling price based on costs. The Soviet Union tried it and they became an economic basket case (for other reasons too). Products and services are sold to the highest bidders only, regardless of costs. You may want to go back and retake 10th grade econ before embarassing yourself here again.

Posted by anon on Feb. 10, 2013 @ 8:32 am
when they buy a piece of property, why are TIC owners insisting on changing those rules to their benefit at the detriment of others?
Posted by Eddie on Feb. 10, 2013 @ 8:43 am
People bought 2-4 unit buildings "knowing" that they were exempt from RC and then, bingo, the rules changed.
And there is already a migration path from TIC to Condo. Speeding that up doesn't change the principle at all.
Posted by anon on Feb. 10, 2013 @ 9:02 am
Not the issue on hand now. If speeding up the "migration path" from TIC to condo isn't relevant to the principal, why are you and your real estate friends pushing so hard for it?
Easy answer. Windfall profits.

have no intention to sell or flip. Speculators who buy and Ellis a building typically do not live in them.
The TIC owners I know personally include a schoolteacher and a nurse. Are those the kind of people you wish to persecute?

Look it up. Public Enemy in the house.
You are the obssessed one. Stirring up shit on this website after almost every article because you have an ideological aversion to the SFBG. Do other people notice that if Guest/anon/anonymous don't post the first comment after an article that often no one else does? Look at the article about the Art Murmur. Totally quiet. I'm surprised none of the right wing trolls started it off with a racist comment about Oakland to get the flame wars started.
I know I don't spend any time seeking out right-wing sites to comment there. Why are you here? Your disapproval of anyone who isn't exactly like you or shares you lack of values based on money is similar to fundamental Christianity.
You aren't interested in honest debate. Just a miserable hateful commenter trying to subvert what could be an forum for interesting and lively discussion.
QED. Problem?

Also, the above (intelligent) commenter explained that it is when developers seek and recieve heigh variances that the real money is being made.
Silly anon got all that stuff on his face and he was agreeing with his opponents. Silly anon!

If the price the market will give you does not exceed your costs then you are making a loss, which generally means declining to enter the business (e.g. not building new housing) or quitting the building (Ellis/TIC or TIC/Condo).
What both have in common is that the result is less housing, therefore more expensive housing. That is part of why rent control leads to higher housing costs.
Posted by anon on Feb. 10, 2013 @ 10:27 am
LL are not making losses in SF, they are upset because they are unable to realize paper gains.
Posted by marcos on Feb. 10, 2013 @ 10:43 am
to TICS or condos with or without evoking the Ellis Act are not doing so because their properties are unprofitable. They are seeking windfall profits.

Without it, there would be no need for an Ellis Act for one reason: Landlords would then be free to rape their tenants without restriction. They wouldn't need the Ellis Act to do it.
Posted by Guest on Feb. 24, 2013 @ 4:45 am
in place and time. SF needs the tech business to grow and build prosperity and a tax base. That means that our housing stock must reflect the direction SF is moving in, and not where it is coming from.
We need cheap (sub million dollar) home ownership possibilities and that mostly comes from existing multi-units, either as TIC's or condo's. Inevitably some people will be displaced, but often these are people who would in any event be happier elsewhere.
Oakland is affordable and very close. Or Palm Springs, as suggested in the article. But change is a constant in SF, CA and the USA.
Rent control creates these situation where LL's feel they have no choice but to invoke Ellis. No LL likes doing that but eventually it becomes inevitable. SF's housing policy is flawed because it places the entire emphasis for affordable housing onto landlords, and they cannot carry the load.
Perhaps SF could develop it's own Section 8 like voucher system, whereby TT's can have an affordable rent but the LL can still get a market rent. If the voters support paying tha taxes to fund that, we would see an end to these evictions, but not otherwise.

Nobody wants to freeze everything, now back to your strawman.
Posted by marcos on Feb. 05, 2013 @ 7:19 pm
nobody would ever move. Why would that be sound public policy? Who says that the people who just happen to live in SF right now are the ones we want to live here in the future?
Cities change, and the people that live in them come and go. 'Twas ever so.
Posted by anon on Feb. 05, 2013 @ 7:53 pm
There is plenty of tenant turnover in the city, even in rent-controlled apartments. Low vacancy and high rents have existed throughout the Bay Area for the past 30 years during the tech boom, including the other 99 towns that don't have rent control.
The TIC battle is only about greedy landlords who can make a small fortune cleaning out tenants and selling the units as condo alternatives. Even if the city builds 10,000 units over the next 10 years there will be greedy land specualtors forcing out rent-controlled tenants to convert the units to TICs since the buildings are more desirable for some purchasers compared to the newly built high-rise boxes. A housing unit in a 6-unit building in Cole Valley, or Western Addition, or Noe Valley, or Upper Haight, or the Marina, or Telegraph Hill is more appealing for many buyers, so converting these units to TIC will continue until there are no more rent controlled apartments left in 2 to 6-unit buildings.
Posted by Guest on Feb. 06, 2013 @ 6:08 am
The reason is quite clear. There is untapped value in every building that is rented out at an artifically low rent. Therefore it is inevitable that the owners of those builds will seek to unlick that value by converting to TIC (which may or may not involve evictions).
Moreover, there is a huge demand for cheaper homes to buy in SF and TIC's are cheap - I know someone who bought one for 300K last year - she is ecstatic; her mortgage is under 1K a month and it's tax deductible.
TIC's don't hurt tenants - they give tenants a chance to buy.
Posted by Guest on Feb. 06, 2013 @ 7:40 am
"There is untapped value in every building that is rented out at an artifically low rent."
Actually the value comes from Federally subsidized jumbo mortgages and tax write offs. Without massive support from the federal government these condos would quickly become as affordable as anywhere else.
TICs are cheap because their phenomenal risks. Typical of the real estate industry to shuck this off on people who won't play their fraudulent games.
Posted by Guest on Feb. 06, 2013 @ 1:54 pm
thinking of the cheaper conforming mortgages which are GNMA-eligible. In any event, rental buildings require loans far too big to qualify.
And interest deductions are no more deductible against rent than they are as a PPR so that's not an issue either.
TIC's aren't that risky. The biggest risk with any home is losing your job.
Please DYOR before post nonsense here.

You're forecast appears tragically correct. San Francisco is being taken over by ultra-greedy sociopaths who don't care what happens to other human beings in any way, shape, or form. The city is being raped and ruined. That's not hyperbole either. A wave of demonic materialism is crushing what used to be lit candle of rebellion, creativity, and enlightening joy.
The much vaunted "Tech Revolution" in truth is a plunge into spiritual darkness.

If they're dead beats, then they can be evicted for not paying rent. If they're current on their rent and complying with the terms of their lease and the law and enjoying the benefits of rent control AND they get to drive you all to such self depredations, then all the better for the entertainment values.
Posted by marcos on Feb. 09, 2013 @ 7:48 pm
If they are not paying market rent they are DEAD BEATS. THis city is lousy with these entitled creeps, thank god for the ELLIS ACT …..Clean the whiners out

they are not deadbeats. That term applies to all the homeowners who have lowered their costs through loan mods and foreclosure moratoriums demanded by government.
Homeowners are so used to be coddled, they don't grasp contractual rights anymore.

Subtle but important difference. His comment is descriptive, not prescriptive.

With a master's degree in mechanical engineering and a specialty in thermodynamics, Ryan Rudnitzki was already enjoying a successful career with General Electric. But over the course of his eight years at GE, Ryan started to see the difference that an MBA could make for his career. "I noticed that there were some projects that took off and others that struggled from the start," he says. "Without the right product direction at the beginning, it could be really frustrating." Ryan decided to combine his engineering expertise with the strategic thinking of Chicago Booth to engage with the product planning side of his industry.
But Ryan was looking for more than just a leadership position. He also wanted to the tools to pursue his lifelong passion for energy. "My fascination with energy stems from the fact that it is the backbone of our society," he explains. "It's these fundamental, basic things that interest me because they're how you help the largest number of people." Upon entering the program, Ryan immediately joined Booth's Energy Club and became the co-chair. "It's a great way to make connections with other people in the energy industry and learn more about the whole energy field in general."
Ryan also took advantage of the Weekend MBA Program's flexibility to flesh out his knowledge of entrepreneurship. "Whether it's starting a business in an industry that doesn't currently exist or coming up with a product or service that's an improvement on what's already there, I feel that's how entrepreneurship blends with my energy interests."
Ryan goes on to say, "Even though I don't know exactly what I want to do in the energy industry, I know that I'm basically arming myself with the tools and the knowledge to know that when an opportunity presents itself I will be equipped to address that situation and come up with a solution."

Gov. Scott Walker has been subpoenaed to testify in the trial of his former aide, Kelly Rindfleisch.
WKOW-TV in Madison reports that a subpoena has been served on Walker's attorney, Michael Steinle and was filed with Milwaukee County Judge David Hanscher. The document was submitted to the courts Friday.
Rindfleisch is accused of using county time to complete campaign work for a Republican who lost the lieutenant governor race in 2010, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. Rindfleisch has pleaded not guilty to four felony counts of misconduct in office.
Authorities say Rindfleisch committed misconduct while working her government job as deputy chief of staff for Walker, who was then Milwaukee County executive, WKOW-TV reports.
Rindfleisch is one of five individuals going to trial in fall associated with the ongoing John Doe investigation. The investigation has resulted in 15 felony indictments so far. The first trial is expected to begin Monday.
Barring a last-second plea deal, a jury will be picked to hear the case of 62-year-old Kevin Kavanaugh, who is charged with embezzlement and four counts of theft by fraud, according to WTAQ.com.

By Jamel Major - bio | email
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Memphis Mayor A C Wharton declared war against blight Tuesday, appearing in civil court to file 138 lawsuits under the Neighborhood Preservation Act."It's time for this to stop," he said. "It will stop. It's not a question of whether we're going to sue you, but when we're going to sue you."Wharton is suing owners of neglected and abandoned property in Memphis. "You don't have to be a designer or someone who is expert in knowing codes to see that things like this should not be allowed to exist in America's 18th and 19th largest city," Wharton said.The city is asking the court to order the properties to be demolished or for the owners to give up the titles to the homes. The city plans to seek monetary damages for people who allow their properties to fall into disrepair."They're going to have to lawyer up every time we sue," Wharton said. "They're going to have to pay costs, and eventually folks will learn, 'Either I better tear it down or I ought to come into compliance.'"Wharton said the strategy will be used against lenders not maintaining foreclosed properties and investors who buy foreclosed homes and do not maintain them."This isn't about kicking a man or woman when he or she is down," he said. "This is about folks who have the ability to clean up these properties."Wharton said Tuesday's lawsuits will be the "first wave" in what will start as a two year civil litigation effort to reduce and remove blight across the city of Memphis.

A 16th minute own goal from Park Chu-Young has given Argentina a 1-0 lead early against South Korea.
On the first set piece opportunity of the match, Lionel Messi hit a low ball from the left flank to the middle of the area. A right shin stuck-out by Park put the ball into his own net, the first goal allowed by South Korea this tournament.
Without any Argentina plays around him, Park just appeared to misplay the Messi cross, making it 1-0 Argentina.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton, KC*SG (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) better known as G. K. Chesterton, was an English writer,[1] lay theologian, poet, philosopher, dramatist, journalist, orator, literary and art critic, biographer, and Christian apologist. Chesterton is often referred to as the "prince of paradox."[2] Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out."[3]
Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown,[4] and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man.[3][5] Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both Progressivism and Conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."[6] Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."[3] Biographers have identified him as a successor to such Victorian authors as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Carlyle, John Henry Cardinal Newman, and John Ruskin.[7][page needed]

Early life[edit]
Born in Campden Hill in Kensington, London, Chesterton was baptized at the age of one month into the Church of England,[8] though his family themselves were irregularly practising Unitarians.[9] According to his autobiography, as a young man Chesterton became fascinated with the occult and, along with his brother Cecil, experimented with Ouija boards.[10]
Chesterton was educated at St Paul's School, then attended the Slade School of Art in order to become an illustrator. The Slade is a department of University College London, where Chesterton also took classes in literature, but did not complete a degree in either subject.
Family life[edit]
In 1901 Chesterton married Frances Blogg, and the marriage lasted the rest of his life. Chesterton credited Frances with leading him back to Anglicanism, though he later considered Anglicanism as a "pale imitation". He entered full communion with the Roman Catholic Church in 1922.[11]
In 1896 Chesterton began working for the London publisher Redway, and T. Fisher Unwin, where he remained until 1902. During this period he also undertook his first journalistic work as a freelance art and literary critic. In 1902 the Daily News gave him a weekly opinion column, followed in 1905 by a weekly column in The Illustrated London News, for which he continued to write for the next thirty years.
Chesterton early showed a great interest in and talent for art. He had planned to become an artist and his writing shows a vision that clothed abstract ideas in concrete and memorable images. Even his fiction contained carefully concealed parables. Father Brown is perpetually correcting the incorrect vision of the bewildered folks at the scene of the crime and wandering off at the end with the criminal to exercise his priestly role of recognition and repentance. For example, in the story "The Flying Stars", Father Brown entreats the character Flambeau to give up his life of crime: "There is still youth and honour and humour in you; don't fancy they will last in that trade. Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down. The kind man drinks and turns cruel; the frank man kills and lies about it. Many a man I've known started like you to be an honest outlaw, a merry robber of the rich, and ended stamped into slime."[12]
Chesterton loved to debate, often engaging in friendly public disputes with such men as George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Bertrand Russell and Clarence Darrow.[13][14] According to his autobiography, he and Shaw played cowboys in a silent film that was never released.[15]
Visual wit[edit]
Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 286 pounds (130 kg). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During the First World War a lady in London asked why he was not "out at the Front"; he replied, "If you go round to the side, you will see that I am."[16] On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw, "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it".[17] P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin".[18]
Chesterton usually wore a cape and a crumpled hat, with a swordstick in hand, and a cigar hanging out of his mouth. He had a tendency to forget where he was supposed to be going and miss the train that was supposed to take him there. It is reported that on several occasions he sent a telegram to his wife Frances from some distant (and incorrect) location, writing such things as "Am in Market Harborough. Where ought I to be?" to which she would reply, "Home".[19] Because of these instances of absent-mindedness and of Chesterton being extremely clumsy as a child, there has been speculation that Chesterton had undiagnosed developmental coordination disorder.[20]
In 1931, the BBC invited Chesterton to give a series of radio talks. He accepted, tentatively at first. However, from 1932 until his death, Chesterton delivered over 40 talks per year. He was allowed (and encouraged) to improvise on the scripts. This allowed his talks to maintain an intimate character, as did the decision to allow his wife and secretary to sit with him during his broadcasts.[21]
The talks were very popular. A BBC official remarked, after Chesterton's death, that "in another year or so, he would have become the dominating voice from Broadcasting House."[22]
Death and veneration[edit]
Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on the morning of 14 June 1936, at his home in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. His last known words were a greeting spoken to his wife. The homily at Chesterton's Requiem Mass in Westminster Cathedral, London, was delivered by Ronald Knox on 27 June 1936. Knox said, "All of this generation has grown up under Chesterton's influence so completely that we do not even know when we are thinking Chesterton."[23] He is buried in Beaconsfield in the Catholic Cemetery. Chesterton's estate was probated at £28,389, approximately equivalent in 2012 terms to £1.3 million.[24]
Near the end of his life, Pope Pius XI invested Chesterton as Knight Commander with Star of the Papal Order of St. Gregory the Great (KC*SG).[25] The Chesterton Society has proposed that he be beatified.[26] He is remembered liturgically on 13 June by the Episcopal Church (USA), with a provisional feast day as adopted at the 2009 General Convention.[27]
Chesterton wrote around 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories, 4000 essays, and several plays. He was a literary and social critic, historian, playwright, novelist, Catholic theologian[28][29] and apologist, debater, and mystery writer. He was a columnist for the Daily News, the Illustrated London News, and his own paper, G. K.'s Weekly; he also wrote articles for the Encyclopædia Britannica, including the entry on Charles Dickens and part of the entry on Humour in the 14th edition (1929). His best-known character is the priest-detective Father Brown,[4] who appeared only in short stories, while The Man Who Was Thursday is arguably his best-known novel. He was a convinced Christian long before he was received into the Catholic Church, and Christian themes and symbolism appear in much of his writing. In the United States, his writings on distributism were popularized through The American Review, published by Seward Collins in New York.
Of his nonfiction, Charles Dickens: A Critical Study (1906) has received some of the broadest-based praise. According to Ian Ker (The Catholic Revival in English Literature, 1845–1961, 2003), "In Chesterton's eyes Dickens belongs to Merry, not Puritan, England" ; Ker treats Chesterton's thought in Chapter 4 of that book as largely growing out of his true appreciation of Dickens, a somewhat shop-soiled property in the view of other literary opinions of the time.
Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour. He employed paradox, while making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and many other topics.[30][31]
Views and contemporaries[edit]
Chesterton's writing has been seen by some analysts as combining two earlier strands in English literature. Dickens' approach is one of these. Another is represented by Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, whom Chesterton knew well: satirists and social commentators following in the tradition of Samuel Butler, vigorously wielding paradox as a weapon against complacent acceptance of the conventional view of things.
Chesterton's style and thinking were all his own, however, and his conclusions were often opposed to those of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. In his book Heretics, Chesterton has this to say of Wilde: "The same lesson [of the pessimistic pleasure-seeker] was taught by the very powerful and very desolate philosophy of Oscar Wilde. It is the carpe diem religion; but the carpe diem religion is not the religion of happy people, but of very unhappy people. Great joy does not gather the rosebuds while it may; its eyes are fixed on the immortal rose which Dante saw."[32] More briefly, and with a closer approximation of Wilde's own style, he writes in Orthodoxy concerning the necessity of making symbolic sacrifices for the gift of creation: "Oscar Wilde said that sunsets were not valued because we could not pay for sunsets. But Oscar Wilde was wrong; we can pay for sunsets. We can pay for them by not being Oscar Wilde."
Chesterton and Shaw were famous friends and enjoyed their arguments and discussions. Although rarely in agreement, they both maintained good will toward and respect for each other. However, in his writing, Chesterton expressed himself very plainly on where they differed and why. In Heretics he writes of Shaw:
After belabouring a great many people for a great many years for being unprogressive, Mr. Shaw has discovered, with characteristic sense, that it is very doubtful whether any existing human being with two legs can be progressive at all. Having come to doubt whether humanity can be combined with progress, most people, easily pleased, would have elected to abandon progress and remain with humanity. Mr. Shaw, not being easily pleased, decides to throw over humanity with all its limitations and go in for progress for its own sake. If man, as we know him, is incapable of the philosophy of progress, Mr. Shaw asks, not for a new kind of philosophy, but for a new kind of man. It is rather as if a nurse had tried a rather bitter food for some years on a baby, and on discovering that it was not suitable, should not throw away the food and ask for a new food, but throw the baby out of window, and ask for a new baby.[33]
Shaw represented the new school of thought, modernism, which was rising at the time. Chesterton's views, on the other hand, became increasingly more focused towards the Church. In Orthodoxy he writes: "The worship of will is the negation of will... If Mr. Bernard Shaw comes up to me and says, 'Will something', that is tantamount to saying, 'I do not mind what you will', and that is tantamount to saying, 'I have no will in the matter.' You cannot admire will in general, because the essence of will is that it is particular."[34]
This style of argumentation is what Chesterton refers to as using 'Uncommon Sense' — that is, that the thinkers and popular philosophers of the day, though very clever, were saying things that were nonsensical. This is illustrated again in Orthodoxy: "Thus when Mr. H. G. Wells says (as he did somewhere), 'All chairs are quite different', he utters not merely a misstatement, but a contradiction in terms. If all chairs were quite different, you could not call them 'all chairs'."[35] Or, again from Orthodoxy:
The wild worship of lawlessness and the materialist worship of law end in the same void. Nietzsche scales staggering mountains, but he turns up ultimately in Tibet. He sits down beside Tolstoy in the land of nothing and Nirvana. They are both helpless — one because he must not grasp anything, and the other because he must not let go of anything. The Tolstoyan's will is frozen by a Buddhist instinct that all special actions are evil. But the Nietzscheite's will is quite equally frozen by his view that all special actions are good; for if all special actions are good, none of them are special. They stand at the crossroads, and one hates all the roads and the other likes all the roads. The result is — well, some things are not hard to calculate. They stand at the cross-roads.[36]
Another contemporary and friend from schooldays was Edmund Bentley, inventor of the clerihew. Chesterton himself wrote clerihews and illustrated his friend's first published collection of poetry, Biography for Beginners (1905), which popularized the clerihew form. Chesterton was also godfather to Bentley's son, Nicolas, and opened his novel The Man Who Was Thursday with a poem written to Bentley.
Chesterton faced accusations of anti-Semitism during his lifetime, as well as posthumously.[37] An early supporter of Captain Dreyfus, by 1906 he had turned into an anti-dreyfusard.[38] From the early 20th century, both his fictional and non-fictional work included charicatures of Jews, stereotyping them as greedy, cowardly, disloyal and communists.[39]
In a work of 1917, titled A Short History of England, Chesterton considers the year of 1290, when, by royal decree, Edward I expelled Jews from England, a policy that remained in place until 1655. In writing of the official expulsion and banishment of 1290, Chesterton writes that Edward I was a "just and conscientious" monarch, never more truly representative of his people than when he expelled the Jews, "as powerful as they are unpopular". Chesterton writes Jews were "capitalists of their age" so that when Edward "flung the alien financiers out of the land", he acted as "knight errant", and "tender father of his people".[40]
In The New Jerusalem, Chesterton made it clear that he believed that there was a "Jewish Problem" in Europe, in the sense that he believed that Jewish culture (though not Jewish ethnicity) separated itself from the nationalities of Europe.[41] He argued that he was quite in favor of a Jew becoming Prime Minister or Lord Chancellor, under the condition, though, that "every Jew must be dressed like an Arab [...] The point applies to any Jew, and to our own recovery of healthier relations with him. The point is that we should know where we are; and he would know where he is, which is in a foreign land." He suggested the formation of a Jewish homeland as a solution, and was later invited to Palestine by Jewish Zionists who saw him as an ally in their cause. Later he grew out of the notion of Palestine as a Jewish homeland, and suggested somewhere in Africa instead.
In his 1989 biography of Chesterton, Gilbert: The Man who was G.K. Chesterton, Michael Coren quoted the Wiener Library as having said that they had never thought of Chesterton "as a man who was seriously anti-semitic".[42] In 2010, the then director of the Wiener Library denied that either the library or anyone authorised to speak on its behalf had ever issued such statement.[43] In September 2013, following a discussion of the issue on Twitter, Coren stated that the disputed quotation had come from a 1985 conversation with a librarian whom he did not name.[44] Although he did not explicitly withdraw his attribution of the quotation to the Wiener Library, neither did he provide any justification for regarding the unnamed librarian's opinions as being those of the library.
Chesterton, like Belloc, openly expressed his abhorrence of Hitler's rule almost as soon as it started.[45] The American Chesterton Society has devoted a whole issue of their magazine, Gilbert, to defending Chesterton against charges of antisemitism.[46]
The Chesterbelloc[edit]
- See Also G. K.'s Weekly.
Chesterton is often associated with his close friend, the poet and essayist Hilaire Belloc.[47] George Bernard Shaw coined the name Chesterbelloc[48] for their partnership,[49] and this stuck. Though they were very different men, they shared many beliefs;[50] Chesterton eventually joined Belloc in the Catholic faith, and both voiced criticisms of capitalism and socialism.[51] They instead espoused a third way: distributism.[52] G. K.'s Weekly, which occupied much of Chesterton's energy in the last 15 years of his life, was the successor to Belloc's New Witness, taken over from Cecil Chesterton, Gilbert's brother, who died in World War I.
- Chesterton's The Everlasting Man contributed to C. S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity. In a letter to Sheldon Vanauken (14 December 1950)[53][page needed] Lewis calls the book "the best popular apologetic I know",[54] and to Rhonda Bodle he wrote (31 December 1947)[55] "the [very] best popular defence of the full Christian position I know is GK Chesterton's The Everlasting Man". The book was also cited in a list of 10 books that "most shaped his vocational attitude and philosophy of life".[56]
- Chesterton was a very early and outspoken critic of eugenics. Eugenics and Other Evils represents one of the first book length oppositions to the Eugenics movement that began to gain momentum in England during the early 1900s.[57]
- Chesterton's 1906 biography of Charles Dickens was largely responsible for creating a popular revival for Dickens's work as well as a serious reconsideration of Dickens by scholars.[58]
- Chesterton's novel The Man Who Was Thursday inspired the Irish Republican leader Michael Collins with the idea: "If you didn't seem to be hiding nobody hunted you out."[59]
- Etienne Gilson praised Chesterton's Aquinas volume as follows: "I consider it as being, without possible comparison, the best book ever written on Saint Thomas... the few readers who have spent twenty or thirty years in studying St. Thomas Aquinas, and who, perhaps, have themselves published two or three volumes on the subject, cannot fail to perceive that the so-called 'wit' of Chesterton has put their scholarship to shame."[60]
- Chesterton's column in the Illustrated London News on 18 September 1909 had a profound effect on Mahatma Gandhi. P. N. Furbank asserts that Gandhi was "thunderstruck" when he read it,[61] while Martin Green notes that "Gandhi was so delighted with this that he told Indian Opinion to reprint it."[62]
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, author of seventy books, identified Chesterton as the stylist who had the greatest impact on his own writing, stating in his autobiography Treasure in Clay "The greatest influence in writing was G. K. Chesterton who never used a useless word, who saw the value of a paradox, and avoided what was trite."[63]
- Canadian Media Guru Marshall McLuhan was heavily influenced by Chesterton; McLuhan said the book What's Wrong with the World changed his life in terms of ideas and religion.[64]
- Neil Gaiman has stated that he grew up reading Chesterton in his school's library, and that The Napoleon of Notting Hill was an important influence on his own book Neverwhere, which used a quote from it as an epigraph. Gaiman also based the character Gilbert, from the comic book The Sandman, on Chesterton,[65] and the novel he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett is dedicated to him.
- Argentine author and essayist Jorge Luis Borges cited Chesterton as a major influence on his own fiction. In an interview with Richard Burgin during the late 1960s, Borges said, "Chesterton knew how to make the most of a detective story."[66]
- Chesterton's fence is the principle that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood. The quotation is from Chesterton's 1929 book The Thing: Why I am a Catholic, in the chapter entitled "The Drift from Domesticity": "In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."[67]
- Dale Ahlquist founded the American Chesterton Society in 1996 to explore and promote his writings:[68]
- In 2008, a Catholic high school, Chesterton Academy, opened in the Minneapolis area.
- In 2012, a crater on the planet Mercury was named Chesterton after the author.[69]
- In the Fall of 2014, a Catholic high school, G.K. Chesterton Academy of Chicago, is set to open in Highland Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.[70]
- A fictionalized GK Chesterton is the central character in the Young Chesterton Chronicles, a series of young adult adventure novels written by John McNichol, and published by Sophia Institute Press and Bezalel Books.
- Chesterton wrote the hymn O God of Earth and Altar which was printed in The Commonwealth and then included in the English Hymnal in 1906.[71] Several lines of the hymn are sung in the beginning of the song Revelations by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden on their 1983 album Piece of Mind.[72] Lead singer Bruce Dickinson in an interview stated "I have a fondness for hymns. I love some of the ritual, the beautiful words, Jerusalem and there was another one, with words by G.K. Chesterton O God of Earth and Altar - very fire and brimstone: 'Bow down and hear our cry'. I used that for an Iron Maiden song, Revelations. In my strange and clumsy way I was trying to say look its all the same stuff."[73]

BOSTON (AP) -- Marathoner Meb Keflezighi can run pretty fast.
But he knows he can't outrun a pack of coyotes.
A week after winning the U.S. Olympic marathon trials in Houston to earn a spot in on the American team in London, Keflezighi was out on a training run in San Diego when he spied four coyotes.
They were spying him, too.
"I just pretended there was somebody with me," Keflezighi said. "I talked to him really loudly and whistled."
Keflezighi was in town to talk to and run with employees of John Hancock, the insurance and financial services company that is a Boston Marathon sponsor.
"We have policies that can cover something like that," said Rob Friedman, the head of the sports marketing division, gesturing to the crowd of John Hancock employees in the auditorium. "I'm sure a lot of these people would be willing to talk to you about it."
Keflezighi won the 2009 New York Marathon and won a silver medal at the Athens Olympics in 2004. He made the visit with Ryan Hall, who finished second at trials, and 1982 Boston champion Alberto Salazar.

operations management concentration requirements
Operations Management is a broad and multi-dimensional business area. Highly integrative, the discipline determines how an organization executes on its mission and goals. Operations Management is both an art and a science, tying together quantitative analytical skills with cognitive problem solving.
The four-course concentration in Operations Management provides students with knowledge of current issues in the Operations Management discipline. Intense competition in fast-paced global environments makes competencies in this field critical in both service and good-producing organizations. This widely-applicable concentration combines business analytics, process design and analysis methods, project management, and operations management issues. The curriculum recognizes environmental, ethical, and social issues. The pedagogy entails lectures and discussions, case studies, field studies, and analytical modeling.
Building upon the Carroll School of Management core, the Operations Management concentration particularly complements core coursework in statistics, economics, and operations management. Concentration courses emphasize analysis and decision making and are explicitly designed to deliver the skills and knowledge required to be a successful managers of people, processes, and systems in today's competitive environment.
The concentration is designed to intersect with other functional disciplines making Operations Management an excellent complement to other concentrations including Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Information Systems, or Human Resource Management.
The following two courses are required:
MD 375 Operations, Strategy, & Consulting (fall)
MD 255 Managing Projects (spring)
also take two of the following:

MD 304 Quality (TBD)
MD 332 Supply Chain Management (TBD)
MD 384 Predictive Analytics (spring)
MD 604 Management Science (spring)
MD 605 Risk Analysis and Simulation (fall)
MD 606 Forecasting Techniques (fall & spring)
MD 610 Sports Analytics (fall)
Students are strongly encouraged to take additional courses from the above.
General Management Concentration
Students choosing operations management as one of their two areas should take MD 375 Operations Strategy & Consulting and a second course from the above list.
Study Abroad
Although there are no particular prerequisites needed to qualify for study abroad, the usual course prerequisites still apply. There is no limit to how many courses taken abroad will be allowed for major credit. If the courses are judged equivalent and if the proposed courses constitute a reasonable selection, major or elective credit will be given.
All students wishing to study abroad must first meet with Richard Keeley, Associate Dean, and then Sam Graves, Department Chairman, for course approvals. Course approvals should be sought in person, with all supporting documentation (course description, detailed syllabus, etc.) in hand. All approvals should be obtained prior to going abroad.

I think the only real bad part was the occasional sewer smell on the ship.
Our dining experience was really good. We we in the Amalfi. Great food. Our waiter knew our names from day one! Saw him the next morning in the buffet and he said good morning to us by our first names!
The ship was very quiet compared to our other travels. Not a lot of music or party atmosphere. The grouping of activities wasn't the best, and should have played movies more often, but hey I was on vacation and it is what you make of it!!!
Our stateroom was always clean. Never had any problems with that!
They were friendly to us in the shops everytime we went in and hey we are just gold card members!
Entertainment was bleak, but again it is what you make of it!!
Disembarkment went smoothly!!
No I would not go on the star princess again, but will travel with Princess again!!

Singer and pop idol Justin Bieber was apparently rushed to a hospital during
his Thursday night concert in London, the entertainment website TMZ is
Fans who were at the concert immediately went on Twitter and reported Bieber, 19, appeared to pass out mid-concert.
The singer was treated with oxygen from emergency personnel back stage and finished his concert performance, then was taken to the hospital.
Bieber's spokesman said the singer had been "very low of breath" during his performance at the O2 Arena, the website said.
Lately, Bieber has been taking a bashing from the media and other celebrities who have criticized his new shirtless look and for showing up two-hours late to a Monday London concert.
Bieber later apologized to his young fans -- and their outraged parents.
The pop singer insisted he had been only 40 minutes behind schedule, and blamed "technical issues."
But, he added in a tweet to his 35 million followers: "There is no excuse for that and I apologize for anyone we upset. However it was great show and I'm proud of that."
Concertgoers said the teenage star appeared onstage just before 10:30 p.m., almost two hours after the anticipated start time. On Wednesday, an obviously agitated Bieber went on Twitter and sent out a dozen tweets defending himself and blaming the media and haters.

Ghostly trios raise money for community centre in Lane End
4:50pm Sunday 11th November 2012 in News By Rebecca Cain, Reporter
WITCHES, vampires and ghouls took part in a four-legged pub crawl to raise money for a community centre in their village.
Twenty people dressed up for the crawl around Lane End and raised more than £1,100 for the Lane End Youth and Community Centre.
Every team donated a carved pumpkin which was then used to create a 'pumpkin path' across Wheeler End common, to light the way for the revellers.
The pubs each offered cut-price drinks and The Peacock at Bolter End put all its potential income back into the collection pot.
LEYCC Chair Katy Donaghue thanked Neil Butler for organising the event.

Brice Goepfert made his debut in 1978, under the pseudonym of Brice Troll. He worked for Télé Junior and Télé Parade, where he adapted TV heroes for comics. In 1983, he made three of the ten volumes in the series 'Les Grandes Batailles de l'Histoire'. A year later, with Jean-Marie Ruffieux, from a scenario by Laurence and Castellar, he did the artwork for the series 'La Révolution Française'.
In 1985, 'Le Soldat de Lumière', with a scenario by Simon, appeared. Turning to advertising, Goepfert drew the character of Malabar for a few years. In 1995, he started 'Le Fou du Roy', written by Patrick Cothias, which tells the tale of Molière's youth.

Van Zandt County investigators called it one of the worst cases of spousal abuse they'd seen and on Thursday the defendant took a plea deal that could keep him in prison until 2053.
Josh Holden walked into the Van Zandt County courthouse Thursday morning. He entered a guilty plea and accepted a 40-year prison sentence for beating and torturing his 27-year-old wife and the mother of his three daughters.
Lisa Holden, who had escaped their home and hid in the woods with her two youngest children for two days, spoke publicly about the incident in June. She showed FOX 4 her injuries and scars. She said Josh cracked her skull with a baseball bat, whipped her with jumper cables, stabbed her in the thigh and shot her in the legs with a pellet gun.
She had powerful words in court on Thursday for the man she called a monster.
"How does it feel to be powerless? To be at the mercy of someone else? Just think in prison, you're at the mercy of all the other inmates. You will just be a fish in a tank full of hungry sharks. I wonder how a pathetic coward like you will survive," she said.
Josh mostly rolled his eyes at her words until she started talking about their daughters and that seemed to bother him a little bit.
"I hope you realize what today is, and I hope it burns you inside to know that I will celebrate with her, but you don't … never again. And she can finally have a happy birthday because the evil is out of her life," Lisa said.
She appeared empowered as she spoke in the silent courtroom.
"Just knowing you're finally gone makes me the happiest woman in the world. The scars that I bear remind me that no matter how hard you tried to knock me down I got back up. I see them as a reminder that I am stronger than you, and as a reminder that I am not a prisoner. You are," she said.
Josh will be eligible for parole after 20 years.

vacation rental description
You are sure to enjoy this very unique vacation setting! The photos show the isolated property and unassigned adjoining peninsula, forming a scenic panorama of your very own personal "Bordeaux Bay". This bay opens directly into deep/open water providing a superb lake vista and great fishing. The 1870 square foot vacation home has its very own, very private, manicured natural lake sand beach, found in very few locations at Lake Murray. On the property we have an active osprey nest, and during the spring and summer you have a fabulous view of the adults flying in over the water to their nest to feed their chicks from your back deck.
Almost half of our rental time in 2013 was from families who had previously rented with us one or more times, and this past winter we had a 1-month and 2-month snowbird rental. 75% of this summers weeks are taken by returning families.
Note that we will be switching exclusively to our on-line listing on VRBO (listing # 196736) in September. Please refer to VRBO:com for listing information.
We have updated the entire house.....furniture, kitchen appliances, and carpet. Five huge floor-to-ceiling windows provide a fabulous view of your very private beach, the isolated bay, and the lake from the Family Room and Dining Room. The house's open deck and covered porch face northeast and your bay, making them perfect for all-day use. At the far north end of the property is a separate pergola (arbored patio sitting area) with an outstanding 3.5 mile lake view. A concrete firepit (with plenty of firewood) located beside the beach, provides great evenings under the stars!
You will likely also see deer, Canadian geese, mallards and wood ducks, turtles, and bald eagles on this nicely wooded, one acre lot with 425 ft. waterfront (expanded to almost 800 ft. by the adjoining peninsula). This very clean property is located on the Lexington (south) side of Lake Murray, northwest of Lexington, just beyond Climax, SC. No smoking please.

Montgomery County police have released recordings of 911 calls related to the gruesome murders of two young children in a Germantown townhouse last Friday.
In one of those calls, a neighbor tells police the children's mother was talking to herself the night before the attack. He says they were confronting him because he called police after noticing a small child alone in a car for nearly an hour that night last Thursday.
The caller says the women said they left the child in the car because of what was going on inside their home.
Outside the murder scene on Cherry Bend Drive, there is a growing memorial to the four Harris siblings.
The youngest two were found stabbed to death inside their home. The older two were injured in the knife attack.
Their 28-year-old mother, Zakieya Avery, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Police say Avery claims she murdered her children during an exorcism because they were possessed.
Another woman, Monifa Sanford, 21, is also charged with murder. Police say she also lived in the home.
"I suspect you are going to find that they thought they were doing a righteous act," says Dr. William Stuart, a professor of anthropology at the University of Maryland.
He is an expert on exorcisms who says what happened in this case does not have the earmarks of a traditional exorcism -- formal or otherwise.
"Because in general, this level of killing a person, especially if it's your own child or children, seems to be beyond the pale of legitimacy," he says.
According to those who knew the family, the killings were more than likely a manifestation of the mother's mental illness.
"Mental health is a big issue," says neighbor Robert Wooden. "And I think we really need to step up and supply these people with the help they need."
In this case, help that came too late or didn't work.
Avery and Sanford are due in court Tuesday.

Oreninc Index Rises but Remains in Late Summer Slump
The Oreninc Index rose, but remained fully entrenched in the depths of a summer slump for the week ending August 21, 2014. While it increased a decent margin from the week before, this marks week three of the worst three-week stretch of the past few years. Total dollars jumped to $67.6m, a four-week high. Four brokered deals were announced for $18.5m, a three-week high; one bought deal was announced for $12.5m, a four-week high.
The biggest news of the week came with BHP announcing their intentions to spin off non-core assets into a new company that will be run independently (100% of the shares of the new company will be distributed to their current shareholders). BHP says they are demerging assets that they consider not part of the future of their core business (many of these are operations gained in the 2001 merger). Shares fell 5% on the news. Gold prices hit a two-month low after the United States Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes indicated that the organization was slightly more likely to increase interest rates if the economy continued to gain strength. The TSX-V composite index did rise marginally this week, though junior miner North American Nickel (TSX-V:NAN) fell 40% on news of their summer drill results.
While the Oreninc Index's numbers are certainly disappointing, Labour Day can be seen in the distance, and with it the promise of bankers back at their desks and companies back trying to raise money. The question is whether this unusually poor August is just part of a lazy summer or a sign of an equally disturbing September to come.
