San Juan, Puerto Rico – On Saturday, the Board of Directors of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) voted to eliminate the $800 tuition surcharge it initiated several years ago that sparked student protests and the resignation of the university system president. Luis Berrios Amadeo, the UPR Board President says, the Board decided to eliminate the surcharge, which takes effect on July 1. After the newly elected Governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla pledged and pushed to introduce legislation to provide additional funding for the university system.
The statewide university system operates on a $1.5 billion budget shared among 11 campuses that includes more than 64,000 students and more than 5,000 faculty members.
Several years ago, the UPR Board approved an increase of $800 tuition surcharge to help offset a $70 million budget deficit.
Lieja-Sanchez Brothers On Trial For Racketeering, Murder And Fake ID Operation In Chicago
Posted by hngwiusa in Uncategorized on January 26, 2013
The Lieja-Sánchez criminal organization from Chicago manufactured fake driver licenses, green cards, social security cards for illegal aliens who paid hundreds of dollars and then forced them to work for the organization to pay off their debt, according to the federal prosecutor.
By H. Nelson GoodsonJanuary 26, 2013
Chicago, IL – On Thursday, the federal racketeering, illegal alien smuggling, contract murders and fake ID operation trial of Julio Lieja-Sánchez, including Manuel Lieja-Sánchez and Gerardo Salazar-Rodriguez began. A federal jury on Thursday saw a video where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents went undercover to buy fake ID's in the parking of the Little Village discount mall and then went to a business owned by Elias Muñoz that provided photos for ID's and passports. Elias is the father of Alderman Ricardo Muñoz. Elias later pled guilty for his involvement in the Lieja-Sánchez operation and was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
A wiretapped conversation will show that Julio Lieja-Sánchez gave orders to kill Freddy Ramirez-Camella, aka, "Bruno," a once trusted insider of the Lieja-Sánchez operation that conspired with another fake ID competitor known as "Montes" in starting their own operations. In 2007, Montes was killed in Mexico by orders of the Lieja-Sànchez brothers. Julio also wanted Bruno to be kidnapped from Montes funeral in Mexico and then burned alive and chopped into little pieces.
Next week, Bruno will testify against Julio, Manuel and Gerardo. The defendants have denied their involvement in the criminal organization and homicides. But damaging federal wiretapped conversations implicated them.
Julio is one of three brothers, Manuel Lieja-Sánchez, Pedro Lieja-Sánchez and 24 other defendants who were busted in April 2007 resulting in charges that led to the dismantling of an alleged fraudulent document ring that operated in and around the Little Village Discount Mall and generated nearly $3 million in annual profits. The indictment was unsealed after their fake ID operation at the 26th Discount Mall was raided by federal agents and confiscated ID making equipment.
Video surveillance footage, wiretapped conversations and witnesses testimony during trial will show how the Lieja-Sánchez criminal organization used violence, the Latin Kings gang who were paid to protect their operation in Chicago's Little Village area for 20 years (since 1993), according to the feds.
Montes, a rival who tried to muscle in on their operation was killed in Mexico. The Lieja-Sánchez criminal organization operated in both Mexico and Chicago.
The Mexico-based Leija-Sánchez organization was supervised by an overall leader living in Chicago, and the leadership position rotated among the three Leija-Sánchez brothers, according to an October 2007 indictment. The leader in Chicago and others allegedly ordered violent acts against competitors, rivals and others. The indictment alleged that the organization sold as many as 50 to 100 sets of fraudulent identification documents each day, charging customers approximately $200 to $300 cash per "set," consisting of a Social Security card and either an Immigration "green card" or a state driver's license.
Julio Leija-Sánchez and his brothers allegedly conspired to murder Guillermo Jimenez-Flores, a former member of their organization who became a fledgling rival and was allegedly shot to death in Mexico in April 2007 by co-defendant Gerardo Salazar-Rodriguez, who was paid by and conspired with the three Leija-Sánchez brothers. The same four defendants also allegedly conspired about the same time to kill a second victim in Mexico.

Damon began with "Welcome to tonight's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Sucks!" Then he asked the audience, if they liked it and everyone cheered and applaided while Jimmy remained bound in the backdground in a wheelchair.
Damon said, he took over Jimmy's show as a pay back for being skip from the show at least 1,205 times over a period of ten years. Due too, Jimmy always running out of time to have Damon on the show.
Some of the stars were Demi Moore, Andy Garcia (who replaced Guillermo), Jennifer Lopez, Robin Williams (who did jokes), Ben Affleck (who did cue cards), John Krasinski, Robert De Niro, Don Cheadle, Reese Witherspoon, Sally Field, Oprah Winfrey, Sara Crow (who tookover Kimmel's band leader Cleto Escobedo III), Nicole Kidman, Gary Oldman and Amy Adams.

By H. Nelson Goodson
January 24, 2013
Paris, France – On Wednesday, Florence Cassez, 38, a Fench citizen was released from a Mexican prison after being convicted for kidnapping in 2005. Cassez was sentenced to 60 years in prison.
She was accused of being a member of a kidnapping gang led by her boyfriend who is originally from Mexico.
Cassez was known to ask kidnapped victims what would they rather choose to be cut off, a finger or an ear to send family members in order to force them to pay a ransom. Some of the victims were murdered after the ransom was paid.
A Mexican Supreme Court panel voted 3-2 to release Cassez citing that procedural and her rights were violated during her arrest. Police were also accused of staging an arrest raid to detain Cassez for media outlets.
The court didn't say whether she was innocent or guilty, but that multiple irregularities occurred during Cassez' arrest.
Cassez arrived in Paris on Thursday as a free woman and told media outlets that she had been vindicated.
Kidnapped victims relatives and a victim who testified against Cassez said, that it was unjust to free a convicted kidnapper. Cassez says, now she will focus on writing a book about her ordeal while being incarcerated in Mexico.
Cassez' boyfriend is still awaiting trial, after seven years.

Waukesha County Sheriff's Office Investigating Villarreal's Death
Villarreal had been assaulted by an inmate or inmates at the Walworth County jail and was taken to Aurora Lakeland Medical Center for treatment, according to family members.
By H. Nelson Goodson
January 24, 2013
Town of Geneva, WI – On Monday, a Walworth County deputy sheriff fatally shot Alfredo Emilio Villarreal, 18, of Janesville, an inmate being held for probation and parole hold who was taken to the Aurora Lakeland Medical Center (ALMC) in the Town of Geneva for treatment. Villarreal was "undergoing tests and observation for a personal medical issue," according the Walworth County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) press release. Villarreal had been convicted for a battery charge.
At ALMC, Villarreal attempted to escape by attacking the deputy guarding him. Villarreal struck and kicked the deputy multiple times in the face and then tried to hit the deputy with a chair. The deputy tried to used his Taser to control Villarreal, but the Taser failed to operate it. The deputy then fatally shot Villarreal at the scene.
Walworth County Sheriff David Graves said, the deputy's Taser failed to work. The incident occurred shortly after the deputy had released Villarreal's shackles from his bed so, he could go to the bathroom.
The WCSO released the following statement, "At approximately 6:47 p.m., Villarreal attacked the Deputy in an attempt to escape custody, punching and kicking the Deputy in the face multiple times. The Deputy called for assistance and multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the medical center. The Deputy deployed (his) Taser, which failed to stop the inmate.
Villarreal then used a chair to try to break out the window in his room. When this attempt failed, the inmate attempted to strike the Deputy over the head with the chair. The Deputy discharged (his) handgun, striking the inmate. Lifesaving measures were immediately implemented by law enforcement and medical staff.
Villarreal died at the scene," the WCSO reported. The Deputy has not been identified and has been placed in administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
Villarreal's family says, Villarreal had no medical issues, but had beenrecently assaulted by an inmate or inmates while in custody. That's why he was taken to ALMC for treatment. The WCSO hasn't confirmed, that Villarreal had been beaten by an inmate at the jail.
The WCSO has turned over the investigation of Villarreal's death to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Office.

Collins Charged With Double Homicide in Milwaukee
Second murder suspect yet to be charged.
By H. Nelson Goodson
January 23, 2013
Milwaukee, WI – On Wednesday, Dajuan Shaquille Collins, 19, was charged with two felony counts of murder for the January 15, homicides of Arthur L. Robinson, 29, and Michael J. Parker, 44, at the 1100 block of S. 24th St. Collins is facing two life terms in prison without the possibility of parole. A $500,000 cash bail for Collins was set and he remains in custody.
The criminal complaint stated, Maltese Williams and Collins' girlfriend told police that Collins had fatally shot both victims.
Collins confessed that he and Williams had gone to Parker's residence to steal drugs and money. When they arrived at Parker's home, Parker and Williams went to the kitchen to make a transaction while Robinson slept on the couch. Then a scuffle ignited and Williams shot both men.
In contrary, Williams told police that Collins had fatally shot both men and Collins' girlfriend told police that Collins had confessed to her that he actually shot the victims. After shooting the victims, Collins jumped out of the living room window dropping a hat and his cell, which police recovered at the crime scene and traced back to Collins.
Parker apparently fled the scene after being shot and dropped dead at the southeast corner of S. 24 and W. Scott. Police recovered his body and went into the residence where they found Robinson's body inside.
Williams has not been charged in the crime.

Sometimes in life, you can just smell a trap before it happens. Sometimes it's clearly defined, other times less so- but this week's game against the 49ers is beginning to look the part:
- Road game, on the west coast, in primetime, in front of a hostile sellout
- No James Harrison, primarily because
- Roger Godell is such an ass...
- Banged up Big Ben / Banged up Maurkice Pouncey
- Banged up Troy / Banged up Woodley
- Opposing QB has hall-o-fame credentials
- That last one was just checking your reading comprehension
- Mendenhall and Co. going up vs. the #1 run defense
It certainly has the makings of an upset special (as i clearly find the Steelers to be the favorite), but i'm hoping we go into San Fran and be nimble n' quick all over Candlestick. Having said all this: I think we got this thing- do you???

Whether you're a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs or one of Canada's six other professional hockey teams, you've likely heard the argument before in some form: the CBC and Hockey Night in Canada are bias towards the Leafs.
There are many competing opinions on this matter. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the facts. Few people have stepped back to reflect upon the accuracy of their charges either for or against the CBC. In other words, their commitment to the debate may run deep, but their commitment to the facts runs shallower than a flooded rink.
In such an emotion-driven debate, it would be nice to check the facts and that's what this article intends to accomplish in cursory fashion. There simply isn't enough time or space to systemically review the CBC's portrayal of the Leafs, but we can look at some anecdotal and schedule-related information. Specifically, we can look at how the voices behind the game treat the Leafs and look to see if the CBC schedules games in a way that prioritizes the Leafs over other markets.
You'll find no conclusive answer here, but what might surprise you is the fact that reality's a little messier than a simplistic black-and-white presentation of the hockey world. Like almost every other facet of life, it appears that there's little room for conspiracy theories in hockey.
Right off the bat let's get one thing perfectly clear: there's little point denying that Don Cherry, Bob Cole and Harry Neale share an obvious bias for the Leafs. The "Kadri Kiss" is only the latest incarnation of Cherry's longstanding love affair with the Boys in Blue & White. Cole's bias is more subtle: he would regularly refer to Team Canada as the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2002 Winter Olympics broadcasts.
However, you shouldn't confuse bias for prejudice. While these commentators are certainly bias in favour of the Leafs, I wouldn't say they're prejudicial towards any teams in the league. Cherry may display prejudice towards certain players (or groups of players based on their ethnicity), but this regrettable fact applies to the Leafs as well. The main point here is that there's no hatred (obvious or otherwise) directed by the most loyal of CBC's Leafs commentators against the other teams in the NHL.
In the same way, one can detect a sense of bias in Jim Hughson (hockey's greatest voice?) and Scott Oake: if you listened to these guys on a regular basis, you'd quickly get the (false) impression that there's no professional hockey east of Manitoba. Hughson's infatuation with the Vancouver Canucks is so intense that it even caught the attention of the Globe and Mail some years ago.
If I sound critical of biased commentators, that idea should be quickly cast aside. I think it's only natural for hockey commentators to show bias towards the teams they cover for two (hopefully) obvious reasons: 1) they're paid to talk about particular teams; and 2) their whole professional lives are consumed by the teams they cover. For this reason, you can excuse them for not talking about other teams on a regular basis.
On the other hand, I don't think there's much room to claim that the rest of the CBC's hockey team is bias one way or the other. Ron MacLean might be thought guilty by association with Cherry, but there's very little in his own words to suggest a bias in favour of the Leafs. Elliotte Friedman and Kevin Weekes are consummate professionals, and P. J. Stock is, well, he's simply there. It would be wrong and unfair, I believe, to argue that these analysts only ever talk about the Leafs.
Having said all this, there is one prejudiced member of CBC's hockey team – Glenn Healy – who seems to take particular delight in lambasting the Leafs, especially incumbent goaltender James Reimer. However, I don't take Healy very seriously (and neither does Friedman apparently) on account that he's a generally negative person so his presence in the CBC studio doesn't really bother me. In fact, it often provides me with some entertainment on the side.
On the surface, if there's one area where the CBC appears most bias in favour of the Leafs, it would concern the timing of games. Here the argument is that the timing of every Hockey Night in Canada broadcast revolves around the Leafs regular 7:00 pm EST time slot.
We can look at two Canucks games to find superficial support for this claim. First, the Canucks played at their regular 7:00 pm PST time slot last night, but this meant that fans of the Montreal Canadiens had to wait until 10:00 pm EST for the start of the game. In contrast, last night's game in Toronto between the Leafs and the Edmonton Oilers took place at 7:00 pm EST, meaning Oilers fans had to watch the game early at 5:00 pm MST. The supposed takeaway from this is that CBC wouldn't move up the timing of the Canadiens-Canucks game since this would interfere with the timing of the Leafs-Oilers game.
It might be immediately questioned why the Leafs game would depart from its regular time slot to make room for the Canadiens-Canucks game and here I have no answer. This is simply one of the "proofs" offered to show how the CBC favours Toronto. It isn't acknowledged that the game started at its regular time in Vancouver, which could be taken as bias in favour of the Canucks over the Canadiens. It also isn't mentioned that the Quebec feed of the Canucks-Montreal game could still have started at 4:00 pm PST (7:00 pm EST) since there's no single feed of Hockey Night in Canada. None of this apparently matters, however: if another team - any team - has to play at a time inconvenient for its fans, the Leafs must somehow be responsible.
The second game in question offers more support for a charge of bias though it ultimately fails as well (it also exposes a tension in the overall argument). In November, the Canucks will host the Leafs at 4:00 pm PST (or 7:00 pm EST), which departs from the normal timing of games in Vancouver.
This would be proof of bias if it wasn't for the troublesome fact that three games will be broadcast on this day, starting with a contest between the Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets at 2:00 pm CST. (Following the "sound" logic on display here, I guess this means CBC is actually biased in favour of the Jets: it suddenly appears that they're the ones dictating the broadcast schedule, but this obviously isn't the case. The Jets find themselves in the worst time slot since they're split between the EST, MST and PST time zones.)
Omitted from this second argument is the following fact: the only Saturday night Leafs game played outside the team's normal 7 pm timeslot this season happens on February 8th, 2014 against the Canucks. Is this proof of a West coast bias?
Like the game in November discussed above, it falls on one of CBC's "Hockey Day in Canada" broadcasts and this fact alone explains the altered scheduling of the games; CBC is ramming three games into its regular two-game broadcast.
I mentioned earlier that there's a tension in the larger argument: it concerns the lose-lose situation of the Leafs.
Based on the argument: if the Canadiens-Canucks game takes place at its regular time in Vancouver, then this is the result of the CBC showing favouritism towards the Leafs (since Habs fans will likely have to miss the game). However, if the Leafs-Canucks game takes place at an earlier time, then this is the result of the CBC showing favouritism towards the Leafs (since Canucks fans will have to watch the game at an earlier time).
In short, the Leafs are somehow at fault if the local game starts at its regular time or if it is moved to an earlier time. I'm not sure how to avoid this problem other than by cancelling the game altogether, but I'm sure this would be read as bias in favour of the Leafs as well.
The argument, in all its incoherence, appears to hold that local games should always be held at their regular time unless it involves the Leafs. In this case, the Leafs should bend the timing of their games to suit the fans of the visiting team and fans of other teams in competing time slots.
For instance, Leafs games should take place at an earlier or later time when the Canadiens and Canucks play against each other in Vancouver so that fans of these two teams can watch the game at a mutually convenient time. (A contradiction emerges here in that the local timing of the Vancouver game would still have to change, but I'm sure this would be thought acceptable since those pesky Leafs fans wouldn't be able to watch their team play at a convenient time either.) Likewise, when the Canucks play in Toronto, the timing of the Leafs game should change to suit Canucks fans.
To put the argument in its simplest form, the anti-CBC/Leafs crowd wants their cake and to eat it, too. If the argument sounds convoluted, it's because the argument is convoluted. Either all games should start according to local time without exception or some degree of flexibility must be accepted.
(If you still have trouble understanding the argument, this is likely due to the fact it's ultimately based on two inconsistent claims: 1) home games should be shown according to local times (which presumably applies to the Leafs as well); and 2) the timing of Leafs games shouldn't take priority over other games in the league even when they're played according to local time (which exposes the contradiction in the overall argument).
Four other quick points should be said about the CBC hockey broadcast schedule.
First, as mentioned earlier, there is no single feed of Hockey Night in Canada. West of Manitoba, there are actually four separate feeds: there's a western and central Ontario feed (featuring the Leafs); an eastern Ontario feed (featuring the Ottawa Senators); a Quebec feed (featuring the Canadiens); and an eastern Canada feed (often featuring the Leafs). This reality exposes the pure emptiness of the Canadiens-Canucks argument above. There was nothing stopping CBC from scheduling the Canadiens-Canucks game at an earlier time since it could have been broadcast separately in Quebec other than an obvious and understandable bias in favour of Vancouver.
In short, the Leafs game had no bearing on this decision.
Second, this may come as a surprise to some people, but the Leafs generally play at a later time slot when they travel out west. This can be seen by looking at the schedule for their upcoming road trip through Edmonton and Calgary. You miss these simple truths if you're unwilling to look beyond the schedule of your own team.
Third, if the timing of the upcoming Leafs-Canucks game in Vancouver strikes you as skewed towards the visitors (let's ignore for a second the fact that CBC is showing three games on this day), then I'm not sure how you'll read the timing of games when the Canucks visit the top American teams in the Eastern Conference.
Canucks fans have to watch their team take on the Pittsburgh Penguins at 10:00 am PST and the New York Rangers at 11:00 am PST. This smacks me of gross bias and it suggests that CBC is actually trying to bridge the timezone difference between Toronto and Vancouver. They could easily burn the visiting team and make no attempt to balance the schedule, but that's not the CBC way.
Finally, related to the last point, there's an inherent bias in favour of games shown in the PST. Whether a game is shown early or late in the EST, fans of Western Conference teams generally have the opportunity to watch it. They might have to watch it early in the morning (like our Pittsburgh and New York examples), mid-afternoon (like our Toronto example) or evening (like our Vancouver example), but they still have these options to consider. Obviously, the situation doesn't work in reverse. Fans of Eastern Conference teams don't enjoy the same luxury: I often miss Leafs games when the team travels out west given their late starts.
What this suggests is that the NHL, not the CBC alone, shows an understandable bias towards the EST, not the Leafs alone. However, this is the only way all hockey fans can come together to watch the sport they love.
It's a small price to pay for the benefit of saying, "I watched Kessel and the Sedins play on the same day."

BBC Monday Night Club Dissects Chelsea
This is a very good listen if anyone is looking for insight into Chelsea. Particularly there's a snippet from Ian McGarry who's usually one of the journos that breaks Chelsea news. This fits into the whole Guardiola thingy in that a person close to Roman says that now that we have the Champions League trophy the next thing for Chelsea is to build Romans dream, which would be a sustainable team playing attracting football in the UCL year in and year out.

2012-13 Stats: 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, .407 field-goal percentage, .423 three-point percentage, 9.8 PER
Out of all the players that the Memphis Grizzlies traded this season, Wayne Ellington is the one that "got away". But before I get into that let's talk about Wayne's time as a Memphis Grizzlies. Things started off kinda rough for the fourth year player.
Remember when I wrote about Ellington not being the shooter everyone expected him to be? It was correct at the moment. Through the Grizzlies fantastic November stretch, Ellington shot a ho-hum 35 percent from three on 2.8 attempts per game. Being trademarked as a "shooter", the poor results left fans in a bind:
"Does he deserve less playing time if he isn't hitting shots?"
"Well, we don't have anyone else to play so..."
"Give Jerryd Bayless more minutes."
"Think Josh Selby is finally ready you guys?"
I mean how else were we supposed to react when Wayne Ellington goes out and does this:
How bad was Wayne's shooting in November? He made more three's in the Miami Heat game (7) than he did in the other 12 November games combined. Take away the Heat game and Ellington shoots 6-for-26 for the month. Some shooter right? That's how I felt when that piece was written. That's how everyone felt.
Boy did he turn the ship around quickly. As he got comfortable in Lionel Hollin's offense and developed solid chemistry alongside Jerryd Bayless and Mike Conley his shooting numbers increased drastically. In his 26 remaining games as a Grizzly, Ellington shot a scorching 48 percent from three. This includes shooting 44 percent from corner-3s and 50 percent from above the break (via NBA Stats). That's two points higher than Jose Calderon's league-leading 46 percent from three (!!!).
Eventually Ellington was shipped to the Cleveland Cavaliers alongside Marreese Speights and Josh Selby in what came to be know as the $6 million salary dump. At the time, Ellington's value didn't seem missed. We all thought the dump would be enough to keep the Conley - Rudy Gay - Zach Randolph - Marc Gasol core together for one more year before the new management broke things up next season.
Gay was traded to the Toronto Raptors eight days later.
Now let's play the role of the revisionist:
After seeing how the San Antonio Spurs exposed this teams lack of floor spacing & perimeter shooting, was the dumping of Wayne Ellington's $2,083,042 worth it? I'm sure anyone reading this is crazily shaking their head no. And looking at the salary cap going forward, retaining him wouldn't have put them in the luxury tax. I mean they're paying Austin Daye $4 million to do the same thing I did as a Memphis Grizzly.
Ellington's two million doesn't kill cap flexibility. It doesn't stop the team from re-signing fan favorite Tony Allen. It doesn't stop the team from going after a player such as Kyle Korver or J.J. Redick come free agency; the front office could have easily declined submitting a qualifying offer making Ellington an unrestricted free agent which would relieve him from the cap.
Again, this is me looking back on what could have been. No one knew then that the Grizzlies would desperately need a player of Wayne Ellington's caliber later on in the season.
But for all the credit John Hollinger and co. deserves for trading Rudy Gay, receiving Ed Davis in return and getting the perfect glue piece in Tayshaun Prince while saving money, someone has to say they messed up dealing Ellington. I'll gladly be that person. Wayne Ellington went on to be a exceptional role player for the Cleveland Cavaliers while we had to put up with the likes of Keyon Dooling. Guess we can't win 'em all eh.

The whole piece is worth a read.The nation's only state-owned bank avoided subprime lending and the derivatives markets during the recent real estate bubble and now has $4 billion under management. In the words of bank President Eric Hardmeyer, it continues to "plow those deposits back into the state of North Dakota in the form of loans. We invest back into the state in economic development type of activities." What that means, according to Ellen Brown, author of the book "Web of Debt," is that North Dakota has avoided the credit freeze "by creating its own credit (and) leading the nation in establishing state economic sovereignty."That sounds good to Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray, who wants her state to look into creating its own bank. Washington House Finance Committee Vice Chair Bob Hasegawa, D-Seattle, has formally proposed a State Bank of Washington.The movement to create state-run banks is part of a broader push to put public money to work for the people. In Los Angeles, the City Council voted unanimously on March 5 to ensure that taxpayer money is invested only in banks that have established track records of helping families stay in their homes, lending to small businesses that create jobs, and eschewing toxic interest-rate "swaps" that saddle communities with excessive fees and interest rates.Urging these initiatives on is the Service Employees International Union, which is waging a national campaign to stop investing in unaccountable banks. "It's time for Wall Street banks to stop focusing on their profits and start doing their part to help our cities and families recover," says SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger.The prospect of what might be done with all the money that has flowed from the federal Treasury to private banks has some players talking of taking the North Dakota model national. A year ago, Stiglitz suggested, "If we had used the $700 billion to create a new financial institution, allowed it to lever 10-to-1, which is very modest compared to the 30-to-1 that we were doing — 10-to-1 would have generated $7 trillion of new lending capacity, far in excess of what our country needs. So the issue here is not about lending. It's really about saving the bankers. And what we confused was saving the banks versus saving the bankers and their shareholders."Yet as Washington struggles with the task of imposing basic regulation on big banks, the action will be in the states. How likely is it? Hardmeyer used to doubt that the North Dakota model would ever be adopted elsewhere. Now, he says, "When I look around the country, it's not quite as far a leap as I once thought it was."
State-run banks
I investigated a little more the idea of state-run banks and apparently, I'm not the only one interested in the idea. In fact, North Dakota beat me to it by about 90 years. From The Cap Times:

WaPo Declares 'Lots of Drama, Less Substance' at Yesterday's Islamic Radicalization Hearings
Two men testified yesterday before a U.S. House of Representatives panel about how their loved ones were radicalized by Islamist extremists and how local mosque leaders did nothing to help alert U.S. authorities of the potential danger.
Yet accounts of their testimony were buried in the Washington Post's front page March 11 story about the Homeland Security Committee's March 10 hearings formally entitled an inquiry into "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response."
Dismissing the radicalization hearings as "Lots of drama, less substance," Post staffers David Fahrenthold and Michelle Boorstein spent the first five paragraphs devoted to Rep. Keith Ellison's (D-Mich.) emotional testimony.
Fahrenthold and Boorstein then admitted there was substance to the hearings, noting in paragraph six how:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Abdirizak Bihi, a Somali American from Minnesota, described how a nephew turned radical and left to fight with an Islamic militia in Somalia. He said religious leaders had discouraged him from going to the authorities, warning that "you will have eternal fire and hell" for betraying Islam.
But the Post staffers quickly sought to downplay the hearings in the next paragraph. "But, this being Capitol Hill, there also were moments of pure theater and genuine acrimony," Fahrenthold and Boorstein lamented, before recounting one example of each from a Republican and a Democrat.
It wasn't until the 16th paragraph that the Post correspondents looked into the testimony of Melvin Bledsoe, whose son was radicalized and subsequently shot up a U.S. Armed Forces recruiting station in Arkansas. Yet in the prior two paragraphs, Bledsoe's and Bihi's testimonies were practically dismissed as inconsequential (emphases mine):
Even so, the hearing raised more questions than it answered. The seven witnesses included no leaders of large Muslim groups and no national law enforcement officials.
Instead, the committee heard narrow but powerful stories, like that of Melvin Bledsoe.
Bledsoe, with thick-rimmed glasses and a Memphis drawl, described his son Carlos as staffers put photos of him on a stand. One showed a sweetly smiling young boy in a red basketball uniform. Another showed a young man in a tuxedo. Then Bledsoe described his son's conversion to radical Islam in college: He took down a photo of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He released a dog into the woods, he said, because Islam regards the animals as unclean.
There were no pictures from this phase of his son's life, when he took the name Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad. Bledsoe's son eventually traveled to Yemen and then returned to the United States and allegedly opened fire on a military recruiting station in Arkansas. A soldier died in the attack.
Radical extremism "is a big elephant in the room, " Bledsoe said. "Our society continues not to see it."
Bihi then told the story of his nephew and of Bihi's difficulties getting mosque leaders to help track him down. During questions from Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.), Bihi said he had been told that going to the authorities would mean winding up in prison at Guantanamo Bay, or worse.
"If you do that, you're going to be responsible for the eradication of all mosques and Islamic society in North America," Bihi said he was told.
"Would you call that intimidation?" Lungren responded.
"Intimidation in its purest form," Bihi said.
Boorstein and Fahrenthold closed their article where they began, with Rep. Ellison:
After the hearing, Ellison said his breakdown had been uncharacteristic: He could not remember another such emotional moment in public. But he had met Hamdani's mother just before his testimony, he said. He then became emotional thinking about how, after Hamdani's death, there were rumors that the paramedic had been involved in the attacks - instead of a victim of them.
"Something about meeting his mother caught me off guard," Ellison said later. "Here's an American guy, in every way. And, even in death, he still has to struggle to not be known as 'just one of the Muslims.' "

Ellis will surely win a ' mohamedy award ' for yesterday's performance. He is almost as good an actor as Barack Obama himself, although playing himself in the part of a sad little muslim dude, really wasn't acting for Ellison, well except for the crocodiles tears. That performance and then hiding his huge grin behind his pile of propaganda papers was nothing short of brilliant.

Jasser or Ellison?
Submitted by jon_torlin on Fri, 03/11/2011 - 3:23pm.
Between Jasser and Ellison, I'd sooner trust Jasser in what he had to say.
Ellison already made his side clear given his stance on the Chairman's Care. The value of life means nothing to the crocodile-teary one, no more than it does to the Chairman himself.
That's what separates the two, Jasser obviously cares about life.
I know some of you have tried to figure it out like me, still waiting to find out what it is that makes Jasser different when it comes to being a Muslim and does he follow something else besides the Koran? I would very much like to know. Like all other religions, I'd like to think that there's a chance to co-exist without dealing with a cult that wants to dominate you.
Given the Radical Islamists' style, it's really hard to see other Muslims in a different light so long as they don't say anything against Islam a la radical clerics. I can understand if many of them are staying silent out of fear but if they truly want to be separate from the radical side, they need to step up and say and do something. If there's a chance to prove it, now's the time. Otherwise, it's going to be a field day for all Muslims should the next thing happen(which the way things are going with The Clap and the Chairman won't be too hard to see happening) in this country and it's a success like Ft Hood or worse.

It was all smiles at this groundbreaking at the Business and Technology Park in Colchester. The new, almost 50 thousand square foot building, was designed collaboratively by the Health Department and The University of Vermont. The new building will be physically connected to the UVM-Colchester research facility. "This is a jobs creator. When we build a facility like this it ensures we have cutting edge medical research -- we have state workers doing cutting end testing to ensure we are healthy. It just makes sense for Vermont taxpayers," Gov. Shumlin said.The $31-million dollar laboratory should be completed in about 18 months and will take the place of the old building near Fletcher Allen Health care on Colchester Avenue in Burlington.Reporter Judy Simpson: We wondered why the state needed a new lab facility. The health department invited us over to their current building to give us a tour. And it was an eye opener. Every nook and cranny has been used for storage, or office space. "This lab is 61 years old this year and we are currently one of the, or perhaps the oldest public health lab in the country," said Mary Celotti with the Vermont Department of Health. "The heating and ventilating and the cooling and heating equipment at this laboratory has really gone past its life expectancy." The rooms are full of state-of-the-art testing equipment, like in the chemical threat lab, where work is done for the centers for disease control. "This area right now is pretty cool, but the venting over there -- that is how we actually draw heat off our equipment -- so like I said we are make do can do," Celotti said. Almost every hallway is used for storage -- either for files or equipment. The new building has been in the works for ten years. The goal is to create a state scientific campus, incorporating UVM's medical research and funding. "We are faced with threats to public health, like Tropical Storm Irene and clean water. Whether it be white powder and whether it's anthrax or whether there be a potential nuclear leak at Vermont Yankee -- all those things require the science and scientists at the health lab to establish that info that we need," said Vt. Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen.More than 50,000 tests are performed at the old facility every year. All involved Monday said just imagine the possibilities now, for the future of Vermont's public health.

Platonov has been called a natural Stalinist; what is meant by that is that he shared the Stalinist belief that life could be radically transformed, that nothing was impossible to truly conscious people who had thrown off the shackles of the bourgeois past. (Of course, in Platonov's case this came as much from Nikolai Fedorov, with his loony insistence that mankind must become immortal and bring everyone who ever lived back to life, as from Marx and Lenin.) Like a good Soviet citizen, filled with optimism and enthusiasm, Platonov gave up his early career as a writer after the famine of 1921 and spent the next years going around Russia supervising the digging of ponds and wells, the draining of swampland, and the building of power stations. ... That experience complicated his optimism. He seems still to have retained a belief that the shining communist future was a possibility, but having seen the stupidity, inefficiency, corruption, and brutality that were everywhere on the ground, no matter what the Kremlin planners might intend, he had to respond, to tell the truth as he saw it, and that response involved a complex and brilliant manipulation of the very language the Kremlin used to propagate its ideas.As a matter of fact, Platonov has something of the feel of a weird kind of science fiction, but a kind that has nothing to do with the Anglo-American tradition or with spaceships and alien creatures. Russia in the early twentieth century was a hotbed of what from our vantage point look like loony ideas, from Fedorov to Solovyov and Bogdanov (who actually wrote sf, publishing Red Star in 1908).

Disclaimer; this post is more of an expansion of this question. I know there is something similar already in place, but this is slightly different (and hopfuly more effective).
Recently, I (and I'm sure others will agree) have noticed quite a lot of duplicate posts on SO. I know there are efforts to combat this war of dupes but after reading the above post I thought I'd expand a bit more on exactly what could be done.
As with the current system (taken from this post),
This post-ask interstitial page would contain a more comprehensive search for duplicate questions based on the title, body, and tags. The new user would have to scroll down and click "yes, I still want to ask this question".
(I do wonder if users might perversely want to click through regardless of duplicate status, as at that point, they've invested all the effort in writing their question and tagging it..)
As the author points, there's the high possibility that the user will ignore the related posts and submit his post anyway. So, in response to this I had an idea, when the new user clicks the "Ask Question" button, and if they're under the reputation threshold, then this page would show instead,
The page would ask the new user to actually open a certain number (maybe 3?) of links from the list shown and wait, for say 3 mins, (to make sure the user is actually reading the posts), and then when the user has opened the links and waited for so long, he/she can continue to the normal question page. If there are no posts similar to the user's, then he/she will be redirected to the normal question page.
Basically, my idea is to redirect users under the reputation threshold to the page I described. This way it will be more of a deterrent to users who are trying to post a duplicate post, because the user has to actually open the links and read the posts.
Would this be more useful/effective than the current system, what do you think?

I think the City is in negotiations with a vendor or two about taking over the depot.

Regarding the empty train station erected at great public expense, what conditions did the City of Mountain View add to make a lease so difficult. A small combo snack shack/bike shop/coffee shop or newspaper stand would all make sense here. As a former Mt. View resident, I fail to understand why such valuable real estate stands empty?
What's the catch? I don't get it.

Can someone refresh my memory, what was there before they built the depot? I love the look of the building, and I'm sorry that the city hasn't been able to put it to good use.

I dont think there was anything there prior.
I dont see too many vendors jumping to open shop at such a low-volume station.

City manager Kevin Duggan just told me that the city is negotiating with a tenant right now. Several months ago the voice ran a brief story about it.

Does this mean that the Japanese couple who run their little stand will have to leave? I'd rather see them in the Depot rather than having them leave.

OK, it's almost October now and still nothing. What do you "coming soon" people say now?
on Feb 2, 2008 at 9:10 pm
OK GSB and DeBolt, it's been 7 months now and still nothing's happened. What do you have to say for yourselves and this outrage?!
on Feb 16, 2008 at 3:58 pm
What about selling legalized marijuana out of the old, new train station? How much time did the council burn up last year talking about that? It could also double as the city's new teen center. Maybe the city could rent it to Google. But what ever happens, don't put any public rest rooms there. That's the last thing a train station needs. Better off relieving yourself in public.

As Judge Dredd says...."I am the Law".
You don't touch a cop man.....end of discussion. I would never be foolish enough to even think about it...so this woman gets no pass from me.
That badge and uniform and GUN...SHOULD represent something to every individual.....one of those reprsentations being...."this is somebody I do not fuck with".
It's like if you put the chick in the STAR WARS universe....you don't walk up to a Royal Guard and touch him without being force piked and left on the ground quivering.....the red rodes and long force pike SHOULD tell you to not fuck with him.
There is a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi with a Royal Guard shocking the shit out of a Imperial Officer attempting to go into the Emperor's shuttle without approval and a Royal Guard force pikes the shit out of him.....I would LOVE to see somebody superimpose this chick into that scene and put it on Youtube.....that shit would be funny as hell!

Kevin Ware's family reaction
Dana O'Neil is about the best thing going at ESPN.com. And this article is up to her high standards. I have a feeling we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg with Kevin Ware. He has been my favorite player since he got on campus, and I have a feeling he will graduate as one of the all-time favorites of UofL fans. As shy as he seems on the court, apparently he is just the apple of his family's eye and the fact that he is asking about his nephew and making sure that his mom was OK speaks volumes about his personality and character. Whatever his suspension was about, he seems to have completely gotten over it and worked his tail off to become his own man. Get well soon, Kev!

About 300 people gathered at the Merket Alumni Center Friday to recognize the accomplishments of the Texas Tech School of Nursing as it celebrates its 25th anniversary this weekend.
On NewsChannel 11 at 5, the Dean of the School of Nursing said the increase in enrollment speaks for itself.
"That first graduating class last year had five students in it and now, my graduating class last year had 362 students. So, it's come a long way," said Dr. Alexia Green, the Dean of the TTUHSC School of Nursing.
Dr. Green says there is still a nursing shortage and the demand for nurses means an increase in salaries too ranging from a starting pay of about 40,000 to more than a 100,000 today. The School of Nursing's 25th anniversary celebration continues Saturday.
We'll have more that Saturday night on NewsChannel 11 at 10.

Derrick Mason was on the Norris and Dave Show in 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore. He was asked who he thought the best player in the NFL was. Here's his response:
I think if I'm ranking right now who's a top player like I said I think it's Peyton Manning. Hands down it is Peyton Manning.
Hands Down!
That's got to make those Baltimore fans happy. Knowing that one of their own is saying Peyton Manning (a hated Indianapolis Colt) is hands down, the best player in the NFL.

The Sioux Falls Police Department is launching a new system for crime reporting and it's all done online.
It's called 'Cop Logic' and police say it will provide a faster, more efficient way for you to report crime of minor nature from vandalism to theft or harassing phone calls.
If you need to report a more minor crime, this is the way to do it. It saves both the officer and you a lot of time while it brings a lot more efficiency. It's a system that's been in the works for a number of years and is becoming more common in other cities.
If you head to the Sioux Falls Police Department page, the easy directions are there to begin a report. Once you fill out the report, you send it, the officer receives it and can respond that much sooner than before.
Ideally, officers would like to continue responding in-person to every incident reported but with increasing numbers, it's just not as feasible as it used to be.
"The reality is there are a lot of minor cases that our officers respond to, we spend a considerable amount of time on, this will allow that time to be used in a more proactive way and officers can be responding to a more serious thing," Chief Doug Barthel said.
Chief Barthel also said the nice thing about the new system is that you don't have to use it if you can't, or don't want to. If you'd rather have an officer respond, in person, they most certainly will do that which will never change.

[From the FanPosts, thanks indycrr for posting the latest trade rumor involving the Pacers. Don't think it will be the last either. -TL]
Frank Isola reports on a rumored three-team deal out of New York that included athletic big man, Anthony Randolph going to the Indiana Pacers for a first round pick.
Discuss... I personally would have loved this trade for us. If true it does show that Bird and Co are actively looking for a way to get a young athletic PF. I wonder what it would take to sweeten the pot for NY enough to do this. I don't suppose Lance Stephenson would do it. This kind of confirms my suspicions that since things were very quiret that something was probably in the works.

In this comedy from [[Feature~V289036~Austin Powers~austinpowers[filmseries]]] director [[Performer~P225165~Jay Roach~jayroach]], [[Performer~P112816~Ben Stiller~benstiller]] plays a young man who endures a disastrous weekend at the home of his girlfriend's parents. Greg Focker ([[Performer~P112816~Stiller~benstiller]]) is completely in love with Pam Byrnes ([[Performer~P57269~Teri Polo~teripolo]]), and views their upcoming trip to her parents' house on Long Island (where her sister is to be married during the weekend) as a perfect opportunity to ask her to marry him. Once Greg is introduced to Pam's parents, however, things stampede steadily downhill. Pam's father, Jack ([[Performer~P17593~Robert De Niro~robertdeniro]]), takes an instant and obvious dislike to his daughter's boyfriend, lambasting him for his job as a nurse and generally making Greg painfully aware of the differences between him and Pam's family. Where Greg is grubby, relatively unambitious, and Jewish, Pam comes from a long line of well-mannered, blue-blooded WASPs. Things go from bad to worse in less time than it takes to spin a dreidel, with Greg incurring the wrath of both Pam's father -- who, it turns out, worked for the CIA for 34 years -- and the rest of her family, and almost single-handedly destroying their house and the wedding in the process. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Local businesses say the Reds' continued run through playoff season has generated increased excitement in the core of the Queen City.
"Absolutely Reds are good for business," Local's Bar and Grill General Manger Mike Perrich said. "Downtown is coming back alive, the Castellinis are really putting together a team on the field."
Perrich was hopeful the Reds would clench the series on Wednesday, the night of his bar and grill's grand opening.
"We need a win tonight," Perrich said. "We definitely want the Reds on to the next round. "
"I think the bars and all of the businesses down here are going to benefit from it," Reds fan Corey Cunningham said. "You can just kind of feel walking around the streets people are excited about it. Everybody has got their red on."
Beyond the streets of Cincinnati, local chamber officials say the coverage provides the Queen City with national exposure.
"What a great way to market Cincinnati to a wider audience, we love it," said Mindy Rosen with Downtown Cincinnati Inc.
Rosen says downtown businesses have seen increased foot traffic in recent weeks and says a number of businesses have launched Reds specials.
Despite their appreciation for increased businesses, many local spots are not looking to push their luck. As a Reds fan, Perrich had hoped the team would clench Wednesday to guarantee a spot in the next round of playoffs.

PA school board OKs grant for Mandarin program
Original post made on Oct 10, 2007
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 11:42 PM
on Oct 10, 2007 at 6:16 am
I got straight A's in math, but I am stumped with this problem:
A school board assures "cost neutrality" when voting in favor of a new school program. The school board then votes to match $198,000 for the program. How is that cost neutral?
What $198,000 of other district priorities won't be funded?
on Oct 10, 2007 at 6:36 am
I am no supporter of this entire process and its results...but the $198,000 is money that would have been spent anyway on any part of Mandarin, like Skelly said, for example in teaching Mandarin at the high schools.
In other words, he is presenting is like a "shell" game..we take the $198,000, spend it on the MI, then take THAT $198,000 that would have been spent on MI to start it and run it for the first year, and spend THAT on the High School.
He is saying that since we have MI, and PAUSD applied for the grant, didn't get it, then got it ( after MI was approved) we may as well take the money and use it.
The end of the story is that he is saying it will be an additive of $198,00 to the District this year.
I like the Japanese book story!
on Oct 10, 2007 at 8:37 am
I think we ought to be watchful of how the MI elective program in the high schools gets the toys. It was interesting to note that Skelly didn't want it to become the glamorous, luxurious program and the other language electives have nothing. The Japanese text book falling apart was a great visual. However, that is just a text book. If MI gets the hi tech toys and the others get nothing, our students will certainly get the false impression of which language is more important.
My Spanish students have videos (not dvds) to help them learn and we have to pay for books that provide exercise and practice, what about the other languages? Anyone like to comment on the state of the learning materials in German? We know the Japanese use textbooks that need replacing. Do we presently have any technology of any description in any of our language classrooms?

Community Work Study
A central part of the mission of Molloy College is to provide students with the opportunity to serve those in need in the local community. We believe that such service can help students gain a greater understanding of complex societal issues while laying the foundation for future civic involvement. Recognizing that many students find it necessary to work in order to pay their tuition, the Community Work-Study [CWS] Program was developed to meet this need while serving the mission of the College.

MADISON (WKOW) -- President Obama's visit to the University of Wisconsin last month could prove costly.
The new Speaker of the State Assembly says UW's decision to cancel classes for the President's visit is something he will remember when they submit their budget request next year.
Rep. Robin Vos (R-Burlington) says his motivations aren't political, but he warns that every decision the University of Wisconsin makes has an influence on its funding.
An estimated 30,000 people flocked to Bascom Hill on October 4th to see President Obama speak.
Because of the massive size of the event and requests from the Secret Service that some buildings be evacuated, UW officials decided to cancel classes in the immediate area.
"The decision to host the event was because we felt there was value," said Vince Sweeney, Vice-Chancellor for UW Relations.
Instructors were told to make up the classes if possible, but new Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says they never should have been canceled in the first place.
"It just seemed a little crazy to me that the University would say that any political event would trump a child's education," said Rep. Vos.
Vos says the decision could cost the UW real dollars next year.
"When we look at the University and they come to us and say we need to have more funding to do additional classes, to do additional compensation for professors and then I see that they are willing to take time out of a student's calendar year to have their professors be able to attend a political rally, it wouldn't matter if it was a Republican or a Democrat, that's not the thing that I would say you close a school down for," said Rep. Vos.
But UW officials hope Rep. Vos's feelings on the matter don't outweigh their overall vision for the future.
"It may be something he's not happy with, but I think he's an experienced enough legislator that he'll roll that into the mix as part of the overall picture when it comes to him to support or not support our request," said Sweeney.
"Its not gonna be a tit for tat, but its just when they come to us and ask us for more money, all those things are considerations," said Rep. Vos.
The State Legislature cut over $250 million from the UW System in the 2011-'13 budget cycle.
The UW Board of Regents has approved a $21 million increase in its budget request for 2013-'15.
MADISON (WKOW) -- New State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Burlington) says the University of Wisconsin-Madison's decision to cancel some classes for President Barack Obama's October 3 visit will be remembered when their budget request comes up.
Vos says that if UW-Madison is asking for more resources in its 2013 budget request, they will have to be asked about any decisions like that one which reduce the amount of class time for students.
Vince Sweeney, UW Vice-Chancellor for University Relations, says he would hope the decision to allow students to see the President would not be given any more weight than anything else when it comes to their budget request.
Capitol Bureau Chief Greg Neumann is following this story and will have more on 27 News at 5 and 6.

Lebreton of the FWST says we're not the worst. If not who is. Statistically we are right now and I don't see much hope for this crew. So far we are 9 for 53 in the oufield and 3 for 18 in the dh slot.
Lebreton talks about our $15 million payroll for the group and that Lee and GMJ for $150 million, but that's for a combined 11 years of service. How much tread do we have left on our tires? They'll all be replaced next year and we'll keep recycling until Hicks ponies up serious cash for serious players.
