Diplomats, analysts blast Tokyo over islands
Publication Date : 14-01-2014
Senior Chinese diplomats and analysts have warned of Japan's ongoing efforts to "overthrow the postwar international order", with efforts centred around a global campaign challenging China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.
In the latest round of the escalating drama, Tokyo conducted a military drill on Sunday simulating the capture and occupation of an island territory.
On Monday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying responded by saying that "the Chinese side will take firm action if Tokyo employs provocations to escalate the Diaoyu Islands issue."
She said that Japan is defying and challenging the postwar international order as well as the principles of the United Nations Charter, but said such efforts would fail "no matter how Tokyo plots to campaign for its erroneous positions."
In addition to military drills, Tokyo is conducting a multi-pronged campaign to rewrite its military past and lay claim to territories that are historically Chinese, say observers.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a controversial pilgrimage to the war-linked Yasukuni Shrine in late December, and since then Tokyo has dispatched diplomats to various nations to argue that his visit was justified.
Meanwhile, the Japanese education ministry has made plans to incorporate Japan's claim to the Diaoyu Islands into teaching manuals for the nation's high schools, Japan's NHK national television channel reported on Sunday.
During a visit to Singapore on Monday, Ichita Yamamoto, Japan's minister in charge of ocean policy and territorial issues, repeated Tokyo's position denying the existence of the islands dispute with China.
Zhang Boyu, from the Institute of Japan Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Abe has shown no signs of relenting in his confrontation with China, and Tokyo will definitely take more measures this year to ramp up its military presence in the East China Sea.
Zhang said Tokyo now firmly believes China to be the main threat to its security.
"By hyping the threat from China, Japan is also trying to get rid of its historical burden as a defeated party in World War II," he said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in an article published on Sunday that Japan "remains unwilling to face up to its past of aggression" and its leader has gone so far as to pay homage to the Yasukuni Shrine, where 14 Class-A war criminals of World War II are honoured.
"Japan's attitude towards its history of militarist aggression contrasts sharply with that of Europe, which made a thorough condemnation of Nazi crimes," Wang said.
The international community needs to remain vigilant and stand firm in defence of human values and the postwar international order, Wang added.
German newspaper Braunschweiger Zeitung published an interview on Friday with Chinese ambassador to Germany Shi Mingde.
In the article, titled Japanese government provoked China, Shi stressed that China does not aim to have confrontations with its neighbours, saying the dispute with Japan is related to Japan's attitude toward its history.
Shi said that Abe's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine can be compared with the idea of a German leader laying a wreath in memory of Hitler. The ambassador said that such a thing would be "unimaginable in Germany".
"With regard to major issues concerning justice and safeguarding the postwar order, we will not make any concessions," Shi said.
Japan's NHK television also confirmed on Monday that the Japanese Defence Ministry might create new deputy posts within the ministry in light of "China's increasing presence in the ocean" and "the worsening security environment".
The new posts would be focused on beefing up communications and strategic dialogue between Japanese officials and their foreign counterparts, NHK said.
Wang Shan, a researcher on Japanese studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said the security of Northeast
Asia is now "at considerable risk" and Abe has frequently sent signals to the international community that "tensions are running high between Japan and China".
"Moreover, to secure a high level of public support, Abe seems keen to present himself as tough in his dealings with Japan's so-called rival, China," Wang said.
Support for Abe's government rose 7 percentage points from last month to 62 per cent this month, although voters were divided on his December 26 visit to the Tokyo shrine, according a poll by Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun.
Forty-five per cent of respondents to the poll, conducted between Friday and Sunday, supported Abe's December 26 visit to the shrine, while 47 per cent were against it.

Ed Gillespie, writing in the New York Times:
MANY political analysts were surprised by how close I came to winning the Virginia Senate race earlier this month. I received more than a million votes running on a five-point plan for economic growth, and the first point was a specific proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act.In a purple state like Virginia, I could not have gotten so close to defeating Mark R. Warner, a popular incumbent, by talking only about "repeal." But while I wasn't elected to the Senate, those who were might find these reforms worthy of their support, in part because they were well received in a swing state of considerable importance in the Electoral College.My plan, based on one developed by a public policy group called the 2017 Project, enabled me to rebut the charge that all I wanted to do was go back to things as they were before. Although Obamacare is unpopular, a plan that takes us forward is essential.We need to get rid of Obamacare instead of attempting to fix it because it is fundamentally flawed, cleverly designed to lead us over time to a single-payer system. This will become clearer when the employer mandate provisions kick in next year, with their incentives for companies to dump workers from their employer plans into government-run exchanges. As the exchanges swell and become more costly to taxpayers, we'll be told that a government monopoly would be more cost-effective.
Whole thing here.
It was obvious earlier this year that something odd was happening with Obamacare's enrollment numbers. In May, the White House claimed that over 8 million people had signed up for insurance through Obamacare exchanges after an unexpected and much-hyped "last minute surge" in enrollment—but this was only after the initial enrollment period was -extended. Nonetheless, liberal pundits high-fived each other, and Obama held a defiant press conference in which he all but pointed fingers at people who doubted the law would be a success.

There's a lesson from President Obama's first term that he should have learned long ago. It's simple: On an issue that affects many millions of Americans, it's best—even necessary—to have bipartisan support in Congress. Going forward in a purely partisan fashion is bound to cause national discord, increase polarization, and heighten distrust in Washington. Worse still, it means the issue will be controversial for years to come.
Alex Wayne at Bloomberg reports that:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with Adam J. White on whether the Halbig challenge can kill Obamacare.
Last week, yet another damaging video emerged of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber talking about Obamacare's "Cadillac tax." The health care law assesses a hefty 40 percent tax on costly, so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans exceeding $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family. However, Obamacare is structured such that the Cadillac tax is pinned to CPI inflation rather than medical inflation. Since the latter is much higher, over time the Cadillac tax would end up being a big tax hike on the middle class. Now economists on both sides of the aisle have argued that the tax exemption for employer-provided health insurance leads to inefficiencies and distortions, but that doesn't excuse how Gruber and Obama dealt with this issue.
Jonathan Turley, a liberal law professor and attorney, announced on his blog Tuesday he will be representing the House of Representatives in its lawsuit against the Obama administration. Here's Turley:
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior writer John McCormack on what Jonathan Gruber got wrong.
Open enrollment for health insurance plans under Obamacare is currently underway, and some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood and elsewhere are out there promoting it on Twitter. Furthermore, it appears there could be some coordination with the White House, with top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett retweeting a number of those celebrities, one after the other.
Lucy McCalmont at Politico writes that
"Support for Obamacare continues to decline, with the law hitting a new low in approval, and a new high in disapproval, as the second enrollment period has opened for Americans, according to Gallup.
New and returning customers to Healthcare.gov this year will have one less option if they run into difficulties.
Two well-placed sources on Capitol Hill say that the Congressional Budget Office effectively used Jonathan Gruber's model to score Obamacare. That model favors government mandates over market competition and claims that essentially the only way to achieve a large reduction in the number of uninsured Americans is to impose an Obamacare-like individual mandate. Moreover, because the model that the CBO used in scoring Obamacare is the same one it uses today, any alternative to Obamacare that doesn't include an individual mandate — which is to say, any conservative alternative — wou
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with senior writer Steve Hayes on Jonathan Gruber's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.
In their final push to enact Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi urged her fellow Democrats to "pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." They probably should have found out first. Now they need the Supreme Court to "find" once again in their favor.
The late William F. Buckley famously observed that he "would sooner be governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand members of the faculty of Harvard." Not only does this remain a sage observation, The Scrapbook would suggest extending Buckley's cordon sanitaire further down the Charles River basin to encompass the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where economist and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber teaches.

I have noticed a subtle change over the last year or two in what and how both mainstream and alternative media are reporting worse news, more indifferently, more dishonestly and more under-reporting. I've also noticed a gradual increase in the general level of non-specific anxiety, pessimism, guilt, shame, premonition and overwhelm of my friends and acquaintances it's even worse now, I think, than it was right after 9/11. And I've noticed a similar disturbing increase in the general level of malaise, meanness, insensitivity, and demonization of others in general public discourse.
I think these are all symptoms of the early stages of collapse.

You might say it is the dark night of the planetary soul. Here we are in the midst of an ecological nightmare some are calling irreversible. The weight of war and human suffering seem overwhelming. We are bombarded with distress signals, but lulled by a media and political system that pushes distraction and more spending. Is it any wonder we try to evade our despair, that we close our eyes?
Yet at the same time, many people are waking up. They share a persistent inner sense that even the darkest night must be followed by a new day. Nearly every spiritual tradition says it is so and prophesizes a great planetary era still ahead and, though particulars differ, each asks for our faith that a better world is possible, predicated on peace and sharing. Science advances a similar, more immediate message: it's now or never and cooperation is the key.

Why the rise of smart machines could terminate jobs
This means employment opportunities will be growing in high-income jobs that need a lot of brain work and also in low-income jobs that need difficult-to-computerize manual work. What is at risk, the study says, are the middle-income, routine jobs.
"What we see now is that computers, robots and algorithms are getting better and better at doing almost anything that is routine and predictable," Ford says. "Machines are going to take over more and more of this routine stuff and the jobs that are left are going to be more in the non-routine or creative areas, or require uniquely human skills. But those jobs will be relatively few in number."
Prosumption and tech
Many of the coming technological advances, and those that are already here, will eliminate jobs without relying on computers or robots to do them. George Ritzer, distinguished professor at the University of Maryland, looks at the changes through the prism of "prosumption," the way consumers are really becoming producers or workers. For example, pumping your own gas is a job that used to be done by workers and now is done by consumers, or prosumers, as Ritzer says.
The trend of having consumers do more work is being aided by increases in technology such as the tablets at Chili's and other restaurants.
"In my view it seems clear when you create things like the ATM machine, which is automated technology, and so the prosumer does his or her own banking, that means there are fewer jobs for tellers," Ritzer says. "The more tasks the prosumer does at no charge will translate into fewer paid jobs. Technology plays a huge role in that to empowers prosumers to do that sort of thing."
But even with technology eliminating jobs, that doesn't mean the future is all doom and gloom.
Race against machines
For proof, Ritzer points to the theories of Joseph Schumpeter, a 20th century Austrian American economist and sociologist.
"Schumpeter had this notion of capitalism as being characterized by 'creative destruction,'" Ritzer explains. "What he meant by that is that capitalism is kind of a ruthless system in that in order to advance, it must destroy."
In other words, older ways of doing work are destroyed by advances in technology as new types of work are created, hopefully, in an evolving capitalistic system. With today's fast changes, Ritzer says it is difficult to predict what that new system and work will be.
"Of course work is less and less labor intensive," he says, "so there is less for people to do."
Brant, however, says that the new information technology and smart machines may turn Schumpeter's theories upside-down. Brant says Schumpeter's "creative destruction" becomes "destructive creation" — or, in other words, our ability to create new technologies is at such a breakneck speed that jobs are lost faster than new jobs can be created to replace the old.
Frey and Osborne's study from Oxford envisions another possibility. Instead of technology pushing workers out of a job, workers resist the new technologies — bringing political and social pressure to slow the adoption of such technologies. There is a battle between technological progress and people being able to keep their jobs, a battle that shifts according to "the balance of power in society," Frey and Osborne say.
Society may also have to decided what to do as technology creates huge wealth with and for fewer and fewer people. Decisions will have to be made about how to tax that wealth if tax revenue declines among huge swaths of the population. Decisions will need to be made about how much of those concentrated economic benefits from technology should go to displaced workers.
Minimum wage
The current push for minimum-wage hikes is one of those "balance of power" economic pressures affecting how fast technology is advancing. Michael Saltsman says government can set a higher minimum wage, but doing so will reduce the total number of jobs in the service industry.

Poodle trapped in car's grille survives 11-mile trip
Updated On: Oct 04 2012 07:06:16 AM CDT
Cats may be known for having nine lives, but a poodle-mix in Massachusetts just proved she has at least two after she was struck by a car and later found stuck in the grille of that vehicle after an 11-mile ride.
William Muggle, a supervisor at the East Providence Animal Control Center, told the Taunton Daily Gazette that the driver of the car was traveling at about 50 mph on Route 44 when a white dog ran into the roadway.
According to the newspaper, Muggle said the driver slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting it, but that the small dog had vanished ahead of the vehicle. After continuing along the road into Rhode Island, the driver was alerted by a fellow motorist that the dog was wedged in his car's front grille.
Authorities said the driver then pulled into the East Providence Police Department where officers and animal control personnel removed the dog. She was transported to an area animal hospital where she was treated for a concussion and possibly a minor rupture of the bladder -- which has since healed.
"We took (the dog) to an emergency clinic, and now she's actually doing fine, crazy enough," Muggle told the Daily Gazette. "She's a good dog."
Muggle said his team has been working to locate the owner of the lucky pooch, but that no one has reported a missing dog that meets her description.

داستان ها ی سکسی It might also be missing some Joes and Cobra but as far as I can see its no loss! داستان ها ی سکسی And of course, various characters named after foods.
داستان خانوادگی ایرانی The rivalry between Google and Yahoo is not very important especially for the Internet users because it can cause only an improved performance of the products designed by the two companies.
داستان خانوادگی ایرانی The posters suck and the trailers suck. داستان سکسی Oolong, as in the tea; Videl, like the onion variety; Ginger, obvious; Spice; Blueberry; Raspberry; Raisin; Almond; Apple; and in Dragonball there was not an entire family of about 12 named after desserts. داستان خانوادگی ایرانی These goggles keep the Sigma Six team connected to Hi-Tech and the various Sat Links, but it also turns the GI Joe team into nothing more than drones controlled by the mainframe. It seems like the problems appeared some days ago when other users reported they encountered problems with Yahoo Mail. The posters suck and the trailers suck.
داستان ها ی سکسی I did pick back up around episode 83 with the hidan and kazuku fight scenes and it was very good. It feels like they made this movie for the people who hate the anime. OK people I can tell you that I gave up on the anime some time after episode 50.
داستان سکسی Why did they do this and why did they do that is all i was thinking during the entire movie.

Int32::Parse Method (String, IFormatProvider)
Converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its 32-bit signed integer equivalent.
Namespace: System
Assemblies: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
System.Runtime (in System.Runtime.dll)
- s
- Type: System::String
A string containing a number to convert.
- provider
- Type: System::IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information about s.
Return ValueType: System::Int32
A 32-bit signed integer equivalent to the number specified in s.
s is nullptr.
s is not of the correct format.
s represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
This overload of the Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method is typically used to convert text that can be formatted in a variety of ways to an Int32 value. For example, it can be used to convert the text entered by a user into an HTML text box to a numeric value.
The s parameter contains a number of the form:
Items in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.
Optional white space.
An optional sign.
A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.
The s parameter is interpreted using the NumberStyles::Integer style. In addition to decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed. To explicitly define the style elements that can be present in s, use the Int32::Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation, such as a NumberFormatInfo or CultureInfo object. The provider parameter supplies culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is nullptr, the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture is used.
The following example is the button click event handler of a Web form. It uses the array returned by the HttpRequest::UserLanguages property to determine the user's locale. It then instantiates a CultureInfo object that corresponds to that locale. The NumberFormatInfo object that belongs to that CultureInfo object is then passed to the Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method to convert the user's input to an Int32 value.

One of Bromley's most popular personalities has died suddenly.
Millionaire entrepreneur and local impresario Terry Williams was taken ill at his home, in Cudham Road, Downe, on March 4.
He died at the Princess Royal Hospital, Farnborough, two days later, aged 79.
Hundreds of people will remember Terry as the man who converted the derelict Bromley Lido, in Baths Road, into a successful health and fitness club, before selling it for £1.5m eleven years later.
He had a talent for acrobatics, and 1957 performed with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews in My Fair Lady in the West End.
He appeared in and wrote many more shows, both in the West End and locally, and also performed stunts in movies, including The Pink Panther and You Only Live Twice.
Son Marco Williams, 50, from Knockholt, said: "He was a fantastic man.
"He came up from nowhere, a working class family, and achieved such a lot by working hard.
"He was very good at what he did but also taught a lot of people what he knew.
"He helped many, many people. Everyone that knew him loved him."
His funeral will be held at St Mary's Church, High Street, Downe on Friday (March 21).

12 OYS: Augusta VA director resigning; feds investigate ongoing issues at hospital
Updated: 11/03/2014 - We have new developments regarding medical care at Augusta's VA hospital. Veteran Kenneth Dixon is suing the Department of Veterans' Affairs. He said during a 2010 hip surgery, doctors left a sponge inside him. Dixon claims he complained to medical personnel for 2 years that his hip was not healing properly. He sought corrective surgery from a doctor outside the VA. Dixon's lawsuit falls on the same day as Charlie Norwood VA Director Robert Hamilton announced his resignation.

Whirlpool Corporation reaffirmed its previously announced earnings outlook for the first quarter of 2003. The company also announced that year-to-date consumer retail sales in North America are within the range of prior forecasts. "While uncertain economic and geopolitical environments cause us all to be extra diligent as they relate to changes in trends and consumer demand, today we are seeing a moderate decline in consumer demand in the U.S. appliance industry," said David R. Whitwam, Whirlpool Corporation's chairman and CEO. "In addition, we are not seeing a sales-mix shift to lower priced products that are sold under our U.S. brands."
Mr. Whitwam added: "Consistent with our previous forecast for the quarter, U.S. appliance industry shipments appear to be down approximately 4 percent, and retail sales down 3 percent from last year's levels. Company and retail inventory levels appear to be balanced and appropriate to support first-quarter sales projections.
"The company continues to monitor and manage the economic challenges brought on by the current geopolitical environment. However, given current industry conditions, we expect to deliver first-quarter earnings that will approximate our previous forecast of flat to up moderately from last year's core earnings of U.S. $1.32 per share." For the full year, the company expects U.S. appliance shipments to be flat to up moderately from last year's level. The company reaffirms its full-year earnings guidance of $6.20 to $6.40 per share.

Timothy Egan: In Ignorance We Trust
Timothy Egan worked for The Times for 18 years – as Pacific Northwest correspondent and a national enterprise reporter.
A packet of letters arrived the other day from the honors English class at St. Lawrence School in Brasher Falls, N.Y. Snail mail, from high school sophomores? Yes, and honest, witty and insightful snail mail at that. They had been forced to read a book of mine.
"Personally, I don't like reading about history or learning about it," wrote one student, setting the tone for the rest of the class.
"The Dust Bowl? Really?" So began another missive. "When we heard we were reading your book…heads dropped. Let me rephrase that, heads fell to the floor and rolled down the hallway."
You get the drift: history is a brain freeze. And, writers of history, well, there's a special place with the already-chewed gum in nerd camp for them. But as I read through the letters I was cheered. Some of the last survivors of the American Dust Bowl were high school sophomores when they were hit with the nation's worst prolonged environmental disaster. In that 1930s story of gritty resilience, the Brasher Falls kids of 2012 found a fresh way to look at their own lives and this planet....

Well, the bad news for Rangers fans is that their team is currently out of the playoffs and need some help from other teams in order to make it in. They have to win of course, but that's where the good news comes in--they are playing the Houston Astros and LA Angles at home to finish the regular season. Monday night the took a step in the right direction with a 12-0 win over the Houston Astros. Your browser does not support iframes. Derek Holland did his part by pitching a complete game shut out. Alex Rios led the way on the offensive end by hitting for the cycle. His double in the first got the scoring started with a pair of runs crossing the plate. His home run in the fourth pushed the score out to 9-0. In the sixth he completed the cycle by hitting a triple, knocking in another run. To make the post season they are going to need to have a few more performances like that along with some help from the Minnesota Twins (who are preparing to play the Indians) and/or t...

South Africa has 21 regularly occurring shrike species; including 3 skulking Tchagras, 6 colourful Bush-shrikes and 2 vociferous hoodlum Helmet-shrikes.
The boldest of them all have got to be the Bush-Shrikes; characterized by bright yellow and green plumage. Typically singly or in pairs, their skulking manner can make Bush-shrikes often surprisingly hard to find; and I think we would see them a whole lot less if it weren't for their characteristic (often loud) calls.
The Helmet-Shrikes are the gangsters of the African savanna – they roam in groups and good luck to any Pearl-spotted Owl that is brave enough to make a peep in their near. In fact, this is a great trick to see if there are any Helmet-Shrikes in the area; just whistle the call of a Pearl-spotted Owl and if there are any within whistling distance, they will be at you within seconds.
The craziest thing about the Helmet-Shrikes is something I once noticed while ringing a mixed group of White-crested Helmet-Shrikes and Retz's (Redbilled) Helmet-Shrikes – they have feathers growing right out of their bills. Not just at the base of the bill, but right out of the hard, horny black part. Completely unexpected. And yes, with those hooked bills, they bite like savages.
Okay, so for ease of use, lets call the other shrikes "normal shrikes". There are tons of different species in southern Africa, many of which are resident; some of which we know from Europe (Lesser Grey Shrike, Red-backed Shrike).
I'm looking forward to getting back to South Africa and seeing some of these shrikes again…
All shrikes digiscoped with a Swarovski spotting scope and various compact and DSLR cameras
Happy birding,

DALE Shearer was as well known for his number of clubs as his playing ability. New Redcliffe signing Greg Bourke has been just as well travelled as the former Kangaroo back. Bourke's playing resume makes interesting reading. A Ballina product from the New South Wales North Coast,he turned out with National Rugby League clubs Wests Tigers, Sydney City and North Queensland before moving on to Queensland Cup outfits Burleigh Bears and Wynnum, spending two seasons each with those clubs. He started his top grade career with the Tigers before being recruited by to the Roosters and then spending two seasons with the Cowboys. "The Roosters were the most professional of the clubs I had been with," he said. "But then I enjoyed playing at all the clubs I have been with. "The Roosters' cause was helped by the quality of the players they had. ? Bourke's experience will come in handy this season for the Dolphins with the loss of top centres Brian Jellick(France)and Damian Richters (retirement). He has been called upon to fill the void and help Redcliffe back into the Queensland Cup semi-finals. ``I've been at pre-season training since it started on November 1 and I've really enjoyed it,'' Bourke said. A centre for his entire career, Bourke has signed a two-year contract with the Fins. ``I'll play these two seasons and see how I go,'' he said. "I always thought Redcliffe were a really good team and they were always a hard team to play against when I was with the Bears and Seagulls. "Last year was not as good as others for the club, but their future looks really appealing. I'm hoping to go one step better and win a premiership this season. That is everyone's aim in their career." Bourke has been close to taking a title with his two previous outfits,although the Bears won last year's title after he had left the previous season for Wynnum, who made the finals in 2004, eventually finishing third. Bourke and his wife Sharon, who have a son and a daughter, both work for Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast.He is on the security side of the operation while his wife is a dealer. ``They have been really good employers for me in allowing me time to play football," he said. "We live at Eagleby, which is halfway between our work at Conrad Jupiters and Brisbane,'' he said. "It works out well as it's only 40 minutes either way to work or training." Bourke's analysis of the Queensland Cup is interesting. He believes the standard is improving every season,although naturally not to the standard of the NRL where fulltime training and resources allows players to develop to their maximum potential. 'You only have to see how many players the NRL gets from this competition to realise it is at a high level," he said. "It is a good playing standard, much better than any of the country leagues and one of the better leagues in the world. Playing with Redcliffe will be a new challenge."Like

City is preparing for a battle over transit tax
Send this to a friend
- Erik Spanberg
- Senior Staff Writer
Charlotte's transit system appears headed for a collision with a November referendum that could cripple financing for the light-rail development program and the city's bus operations.
Mayor Pat McCrory and other government officials believe a campaign to win a spot on the November ballot for a referendum on repealing the half-cent transit tax that funds the Charlotte Area Transit System will succeed.
If the tax -- which is expected to generate about $70 million this year -- is defeated, it would cut the bus operating budget by 70 percent while eliminating the funding source for expansion of the fledging light-rail system.
McCrory began work this week on a counteroffensive, asking city and CATS staffers to begin compiling budget figures and analysis on what losing the transit tax could mean. The analysis remained incomplete at press time, though the mayor hopes to offer several scenarios based on the findings within the next week.
A coalition of light-rail critics organized under the online umbrella "Stop the Train" needs to secure 48,669 signatures to force a referendum on the transit tax in November.
Former City Councilman Don Reid, a frequent critic of public spending, is one of the group's main organizers. The group expects to have the required signatures by mid-April, he says.
"If it gets on the ballot, I think it will pass," says Dave Hartgen, a UNC Charlotte transportation professor who has emerged as a leading critic of the city's light-rail strategy. "There is great unhappiness out there. The feeling is that the community got snookered and snookered good."
The debate stems from philosophical differences over the merit of light rail, a political lightning rod, as well as ongoing concerns over traffic congestion and the rapidly escalating cost of the 9.6-mile South Boulevard rail line scheduled to open later this year.

Fund manager says Dell board has no skin in the buyout game
Southeastern Asset Management (SAM), the largest shareholder of Dell outside of the company's founder, Michael Dell, is complaining about the leveraged buyout deal that was announced a month ago. And the special committee of Dell's board members has fired back, saying that the deal is fair and so is the process that is being …
Of course Dell's got skin in the game
The author dismisses Dell's 14% stake in the current company, but that's valued at something like $3.5 billion (or more, according to SAM). Dell *does* have the option to sell it instead of contributing it to the LBO. If Mr. Morgan feels $3.5 billion + $750 million in other funds, maybe 20% of the deal in total, isn't skin in the game, then I'm very glad he's not entrusted with something like specifying buyers' minimum down payments on housing purchases. 50% anyone? 75%?
Wait a minute
I hope Dell doesn't get out of the PC business. We've got hundreds of Optiplex PCs (and dozens of Latitude laptops) where I work, and on the rare occasion that something breaks, their service has always been excellent - the parts arrive the next day and they always ask if I need a tech to come and install the parts. My personal experience with Dells is they they've been more reliable than the Macs I've owned.
Re: Wait a minute
Begs the question why they don't make much money on the PC's, then. Either they are offering service that's too expensive and needs to be cheaper, or you're not paying enough in the first place.
Of course, consumers have enjoyed Dell's cheap and cr@p offshored support for years, and that's why I'll never buy one on my own account, or recommend them.
Re: Wait a minute
I wouldn't say we don't pay enough, but as a large state-funded university, they seem to offer us fairly good deals :-) On the other hand, I don't look at their profit margins. I do recommend Dells (and Apples), but that's mainly because they seem to install less crapware than other manufacturers. Caveat emptor, however.

Trader Joe's hiring for Winter Park store
Updated On: May 21 2014 06:17:34 PM EDT
The first Trader Joe's in central Florida is looking to staff its new Winter Park store, which opens next month.
List: Trader Joe's 25 most popular items
They'll be accepting applications through Saturday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the Best Western hotel across the street from the new location on U.S. Highway 17-92 near Morse Boulevard.
Seventy-five people showed up during the first hour on Wednesday morning.
"I was laid off a while back, and in that, I started thinking about what's really important to me, and I enjoy cooking, and I am part of the slow food movement," said applicant Paula Toth. "We have a good local produce movement here in Orlando, and so when I saw the advertisement for Trader Joe's, I thought I'm coming out."

The 12,500-square-foot store will be open from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily and feature groceries, as well as wine and beer. It's slated to open June 27.

The St. John's College senior boys basketball team is peaking at the right time, but has to work on its ability to close games.
The Green Eagles avenged a couple of tournament losses to the Assumption College Lions by winning the right to represent Brant at the Central Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association AAAA tournament next weekend.
The Green Eagles swept a best-of-three series against the Lions thanks to a 53-51 victory at St. John's on Thursday.
"It gives the win a little sweeter taste when it's against someone who beat you a couple times," Green Eagles player Adam Peters said. "It feels really good to win these finals."
The two Catholic high schools agreed to let the series determine which team will advance to CWOSSA in lieu of a high school season.
Because Brant's four public high schools remain without teams due to a teacher boycott of extra-curricular activities, the Green Eagles aren't taking the title of Brant champions.
But that doesn't cheapen the St. John's victory.
"We come to win in every single game," Peters said. "I'm glad we were able to pull out the win because we worked really hard this season."
After coming from behind to earn a victory in Game 1 of the series on Monday at Assumption College, the Green Eagles stormed out of the gate on Thursday.
Before the game was three minutes old, St. John's had built a 12-0 lead. They would finish the first quarter up 16-7 thanks to six points from Tim Dawson and four free throws from Cam Post.
Dawson, Peters and Connor Kuzmich all contributed second-quarter three-pointers to push the lead to 31-13 by halftime.
But that wasn't enough to put the game out of reach against the plucky Lions team.
The Lions came out in the second half driving more aggressively to the basket and outscored the Green Eagles 21-13 in the third quarter. Point guard Andre Toic ended the quarter with an exclamation mark by draining a buzzer beater from more than 25 feet to bring the score to 44-34 for St. John's headed into the final frame.
The Lions continued to get clutch shooting that culminated with a three-pointer by Nolan Drong with 39 seconds left in the game that brought the Lions within one point of the Green Eagles at 52-51.
The Lions bobbled the ball out of bounds on their next possession and then gave up a point on a Dawson free throw to get the ball back one last time with the Green Eagles leading 53-51.
But Mitch Santilli and Peters smothered Toic with coverage and the Lions couldn't get a shot off before the buzzer.
Dawson led the Green Eagles with 18 points, while Post had eight points and Kuzmich had seven.
Toic led the Lions with 12 points, while Zoltan Barna and Austin Tlustos had 10 points each.
Peters said St. John's mental mistakes at the end of the game can't happen at CWOSSA.
"We always feel like we can win any game we play," he said. "Late in that game we fell into old habits but, if we can keep our offence going like it was in the first quarter, we are going to be a hard team to beat."
Success at CWOSSA comes with an opportunity to move on to an Ontario Federation of School Athletics Association provincial tournament to be played in Windsor beginning on March 4.

Should the NHL be upset with the structure of Brad Richards' new contract?
Jul 2, 2011, 5:56 PM EST
The NHL probably won't contest Brad Richards' new contract with the Rangers, but in a way, it pretty much perpetuates the same cap-circumventing loophole work that made the league come down hard on the Devils' first contract with Ilya Kovalchuk. This post compares those deals to show that the Richards deal should get through, but carries the same spirit.
