Romney apologizes for bullying behavior at prep school
JohnThomas Didymus

May 11, 2012 in
- The Republican Party presidential candidate Mitt Romney, apologized on Thursday for incidents described in a story published in The Washington Post that as an 18-year-old at the elite Cranbrook School in Michigan, he engaged in bullying behaviour.
The Washington Post
reported an incident in 1965 at Cranbrook School in which Romney, upset at the sight of the dyed blond locks of a junior with a reputation for "nonconformity and presumed homosexuality" led other students in an attack on the boy.
The incident, as recalled by Romney's former classmates, was reported by
The Washington Post
: "...he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality... was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn't having it."
According to one of his friends Matthew Friedman, Romney kept complaining about Lauber, saying: "He can't look like that. That's wrong. Just look at him!"
Romney, leading a "prep school posse," sought Lauber out, pinned him to the ground and cut off his hair with scissors while the boy screamed for help.
The Washington Post
reported it interviewed five witnesses. Four of the witnesses recalled the incident in detail, and one of them said he had wondered whether Romney would get into trouble with school authorities, but no one was punished for the incident.
The New York Times
reports that Phillip Maxwell, a Michigan lawyer and Romney's childhood friend was one of the witnesses. He said: "It started out as ribbing, sort of a pointed ribbing about his hair, but it very quickly became an assault, and he was taken down to the ground, pinned. It all happened very quickly — it was like a pack of dogs."
According to Maxwell, the incident was "assault and battery" and "bullying supreme." Maxwell claimed he was haunted by the incident.
Romney refused an interview with
The Washington Post
about the incident, but responded to the article. According to
Los Angeles Times
, he told Fox News Radio's Brian Koileade that the attack was not because of the boy's sexual orientation. He said: "I'll tell you, the thought that that fellow was homosexual was the furthest thing from our minds back in the 1960s, so that was not the case. But as to pranks that were played back then, I don't remember them all, but again, high school days, I did stupid things... And if anyone was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that."
Romney acknowledged that some of the pranks he played in his school days "might have gone too far." He said: "I'm a very different person than I was in high school, of course, but I'm glad that I learned as much as I did during those high school years. I'm quite a different guy. I'm married, have five sons, five daughters-in-law, and now 18 grandchildren."
According to
Los Angeles Times
, he repeated his apology during a TV interview with Neil Cavuto of
Fox News
after a rally for supporters at the Missouri River in Omaha. He said: "I've seen the reports, not going to argue about that; I did some stupid things in high school. If I hurt anyone I would be very sorry for it and apologize for it."
The Washington Post
described other Romney pranks that definitely went "too far." Romney, whose father George Romney, was governor of Michigan, said "Atta girl" to a gay student and he deliberately held a door closed while a sight-impaired teacher walked in.
Los Angeles Times
reports that Human Rights Campaign, a pro-gay rights group, posted a statement by Judy Shepard, mother of Matthew Shepard, gay man murdered in 1998. She said: "While this may seem like an innocent prank to some, it was an act of torment against a child for being different. This incident calls into question whether Mitt Romney can be an advocate for the nation's most vulnerable children."
According to
Los Angeles Times
, Steve Schmidt, Republican strategist said the story was "ludicrous" and said it would not affect Romney's political fortunes in any way. He said: "It totally explains why there is such a collapse in trust in all these institutions — political candidates, parties, the election process, the media. The country is facing tremendously difficult challenges, and this is the dialogue that's going on? It's repelling to people in the electorate."
The Washington Post's
conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin, also commented on the timing of the Washington Post story, saying that the coincidence with Obama's declaration of support for gay marriage was unfair. Rubin wrote: "What is the point here? Frankly, this seems that an incident was plucked out of a long story on Romney's teen years to make an inference, without factual support, that Romney harbored anti-gay animus."
The New York Times
sums up a major issue the story raises: "...the Cranbrook account set off a debate: Was this a sole episode of youthful poor judgment by Mr. Romney or a larger statement about his character? Presidential elections are sometimes described as high school popularity contests on a national level, and the Romney campaign clearly was worried that the episode could define Mr. Romney as a familiar yearbook character: the rich kid with a mean streak....Some friends and associates of Mr. Romney, including several who are gay, said they had a hard time reconciling the seemingly insensitive younger man with the tolerant, considerate one they have known as an adult."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Music and sports fans would have one less obstacle in buying tickets to popular events under a bill advancing through the California Legislature.
Legislation by Democratic Assemblyman Richard Pan of Sacramento would prohibit the use of robotic ticket-buying software. Supporters of AB329 say scalpers use the software to bombard online box offices and then resell tickets at higher prices.
Lawmakers previously deleted a provision that would have prohibited transfers of paperless event tickets to a friend or family member. Some paperless tickets require identification at the event to prevent scalping.
Several Assembly members supporting the bill urged additional steps to protect consumers seeking to buy or sell tickets.
The Assembly approved the legislation Thursday 65-0, sending it to the Senate.

Police in shock after 'slaughter of innocents'
Manchester's most wanted man in custody after killing of two unarmed officers
Paul Peachey
Paul Peachey is Crime Correspondent at the Independent
Wednesday 19 September 2012
The call to Greater Manchester Police control room seemed routine – one of hundreds of reports the force deals with each day.
A resident was claiming a burglary had occurred at a house on an estate in Hattersley, a suburb to the east of the city. The suspects were believed to have already fled. But while the details of the 999 call appeared banal, the results were tragic: it was a deadly trap.
Police are investigating the source of the call, made shortly before 10am yesterday, as it appears to have lured two female police officers to their deaths. As two unarmed officers approached the house in Abbey Gardens, they were allegedly fired on before a grenade was hurled at them. PC Fiona Bone, 32, died at the scene while her colleague PC Nicola Hughes, 23, later succumbed to her injuries in hospital.
Dale Cregan, 29, one of Britain's most-wanted and dangerous men, whom detectives had spent the past month pursuing over fatal grenade attacks on a father and son in an underworld feud, later gave himself up.
The policewomen's deaths marked the bloodiest day in British policing for nearly 50 years – the worst atrocity since 1966, when three officers were shot dead while questioning suspects in a van in west London.
Sir Peter Fahy, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, said it was one of the darkest days his force had confronted and said officers were "shattered" by the loss of "brave and courageous" colleagues who, he said, exemplified the very best in British policing .
David Cameron, the Prime Minister, led the tributes to the fallen officers. "What we have seen is the absolutely despicable act of pure evil, the cold-blooded murder of two female police officers doing their job protecting the public – another reminder of the incredible risks and great work our police service does," he said.
The Home Secretary, Theresa May, described their deaths as "deeply shocking" while the Greater Manchester Police Federation chairman Ian Hanson said the murders were "the slaughter of the innocents".
Sir Peter said it is believed Cregan, who had been shielded by criminal followers after absconding on bail following the second grenade killing last month, had stayed at the house overnight. Two other people inside the property – a man and a woman – were later arrested. Following the killings, the former roofer handed himself into a local police station where he was arrested on suspicion of four murders.
Although locals claimed that rumours had been circulating in recent weeks that Cregan was living among friends and family in the area, police said they had no intelligence to support these claims.
However armed officers had been on patrol around the clock in east Manchester in recent weeks as they sought to recapture the suspect with the £50,000 reward on his head. The decision had been taken to send the unarmed officers to the address because it was unknown to detectives involved in the manhunt and the call was logged as "routine". Parts of the estate are already believed to have been searched. But police admitted they did not know whether he had fled abroad or was hiding closer to home.
The women are the first female officers to lose their lives on duty since the murder in 2005 of Sharon Beshenivsky, who was killed during a robbery on a travel agent in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The deaths provoked fresh calls for the routine arming of police officers, including from the family of PC David Rathband, who took his own life earlier this year after being blinded by the fugitive Raoul Moat. But Sir Peter insisted this would present an even greater danger to officers. "We are passionate that the British style of policing is routinely unarmed policing. We know from the experience in America and other countries that having armed officers does not mean police officers do not end up getting shot," he said.
Dozens of vehicles and uniformed officers flooded the Hattersley areas yesterday, while bomb disposal experts examined the house for further explosives. Locals, who described hearing a boom and the sounds of up to a dozen shots being fired, said a single man had lived the property on his own since his mother died several years ago. Warren Shepherd, a window cleaner, said: "I just heard gunshots – around 10 of them, then a pause and a big explosion."

I totally agree why write (or espically publish) this type of article. How many small bait and tackle stores were put out of business so the wrtier could have his little bit of fun.
I am very upset with this kind of bias.
Please stop publishing this type of articles.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Four former officers in a now dissolved Egyptian security agency were sentenced in absentia to life in prison on Thursday for torturing to death a man during investigations into the bombing of a church on New Year's Day 2011.
A fifth officer, the only one to attend the trial, was jailed for 15 years for his role in the death of Mohamed Sayyid Bilal, whose body was returned to his family a day after his arrest showing signs of torture and burns.
Bilal, 32 at the time of his death, was a Salafi Muslim.
Many other Salafis were rounded up following the bombing in Alexandria which killed 23 people and has still not been explained. Habib el-Adli, the interior minister at the time, accused the Army of Islam, a Gaza-based group, of carrying out the attack, something it quickly denied.
Following the uprising against Mubarak's 30 years in power, conspiracy theories circulated widely in Egypt that Adli himself had ordered the bombing. Both Adli and Mubarak were sentenced to life in prison earlier this month over the deaths of hundreds of protesters killed in the uprising.
"These verdicts are the beginning of the cleansing of the interior ministry of the corrupt people who squandered the dignity of the Egyptian people for 30 years," said Khalaf Bayoumi, the lawyer for Bilal's family.
Those convicted on Thursday were all members of State Security, an agency tantamount to Egypt's Stasi that was a hated symbol of Mubarak's rule. Its reputation for brutality helped fuel the uprising against Mubarak.
Judge Mohamed Mustafa Tirana gave life sentences to Hossam al-Shenawy, Osama al-Kunaysi, Ahmed Mustafa Kamal and Mohamed Abdel Aleem. Mohamed Abdel Rahman al-Shemi, the only one of the accused in court, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
State Security was dissolved on March 15, weeks after Mubarak's Feb. 11 removal from power, after protesters stormed its headquarters.

SPLM-IO's meeting with the Ugandan president had preceded a scheduled meeting with South Sudanese rebel leader Riek Machar
The Houthis had then deployed militant groups and set up checkpoints across Al-Qa'idah in the total absence of security authorities
Israel said on Thursday it had foiled plans by Hamas to attack Israelis in Jerusalem's largest soccer stadium, other parts of the city and the occupied West Bank, though Hamas said it had no information on the allegations.

In much of Aleppo there is little left to save. Rebel districts have been devastated by months of government bombardment with "barrel bombs," explosives packed with shrapnel and nails.
The Minister for Internal Affairs, De Mizier, said that Muslims who are suspected of fighting in Syria or Iraq will have their ID cards taken away within 18 months.
The Islamic Movement said al-Khateeb's defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque was the reason why the Israeli authorities had barred him from entering the historic city.
The announcement was made at a press conference held at AU headquarters in Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

After serving in the Air Force as a registered nurse, Lori Avocato decided to give up nursing to write fiction. She lives in New England and is a member of the Mystery Writers of America, PASIC, NINC, Romance Writers of America, the Author's Guild, and Sisters in Crime. She's raising two teenage sons (heaven help her!), and one darling dog, Spanky. Lori is the author of six novels featuring Pauline Sokol: A Dose of Murder; The Stiff and the Dead; One Dead Under the Cuckoo's Nest; Deep Sea Dead; Nip, Tuck, Dead; and Dead on Arrival.

The Lafayette Public Trust Financing Authority approved a $60,000 funding allocation on Tuesday to help the Acadiana Center for the Arts in its push to keep the PACE program alive in the Lafayette Parish School System.
PACE fuses art with learning, and the program, administered by AcA since 1999, brings "teaching-artists" into K-3rd classrooms at 19 elementary schools throughout the parish. It appeared PACE's fate was nearly sealed this summer, when the school system learned it's federal Title I funding had been severely cut. The across-the-board cuts came in January with the federal sequestration, which was a by-product of the failure by Congress and the White House to adopt a balanced budget.
LPTFA's $60,000 allocation, according to an AcA press release issued before Tuesday's board meeting, will be equally matched by a donation from a "corporate philanthropist." Combined, that will equal what the program was receiving in Title I funds in recent years.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

Travel news: Fares hike for London
The best deals and the latest hot spots
Saturday 30 December 2006
Tourists to London who pay cash for Tube or bus rides already face the highest public-transport fares for any city - and from Tuesday prices for those without pre-paid cards will rise by a third.
From 2 January, the minimum fare for any Tube journey that touches central London increases from £3 to £4. This fare applies equally to the one-sixth-of-a-mile hop from Leicester Square to Covent Garden and the 22-mile trip from one end of the Jubilee Line to the other.
The comparable fare for users of an Oyster pre-paid card is £1.50 within central London (zone 1), rising to £3.50 for trips to Heathrow. Outside weekdays between 7am and 7pm, the highest Oyster fare falls to £2.
"The big differential between cash and Oyster-card fares is designed to speed up the system by getting people to switch from cash to Oyster," explained Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London. "I want to see every Londoner paying the lowest possible fares."
At present only one in 16 Tube journeys is paid for with cash, and many of those trips are thought to be made by tourists who may be unaware of the sharp differential. On the buses, cash customers will see the flat fare rise from £1.50 to £2; the comparable rate for Oyster card holders is £1.
The capital's £4 minimum Underground fare is more than twice the rate any other large city in the world. Even in Tokyo, the cash fare for a short journey on the Metro costs just 160 Yen (70p), less than half the pre-paid rate in London.
Short-term visitors to London will benefit from obtaining a pay-as-you-go Oyster card. The card itself costs £3, plus pre-payment for fares of any sum up to a maximum of £50.
A full refund for the card and any unspent balance can be obtained at the end of the visit to London, though pre-paid Oyster cards can also be lent to other people or used at any time in the future.
The card is obtainable at Tube stations and many London newsagents; to plan in advance, call 01561 376081 or visit www.tfl.gov.uk/oyster.

Every year it seems I am caught flatfooted by what is and is NOT open on christmas eve and christmas day. So this year, in the interest of being at least slightly prepared, I figured I would just do the logical thing and start a CU thread.
Anyone know of (or manage/own/run) a restaurant that will be open one or both of these two dates?
I need to compile a short list to give some people an option.
thanks in advance for any advice!
Most, if not all of our restaurants will be open both days. I'll update later in the week specific hours once we have that confirmed.
Also, if possible…Jury Room might be sneaking in folks for cocktails and and sneak peek! We'll keep you posted on that too. Kitchen probably won't be up yet but we'd love to show off the new digs.
Betty's/Surly Girl/Tip Top/Dirty Frank's
Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace will be open 11am-2:30am (regular hours) on Xmas Eve and open 5pm-midnight on Christmas Day.
Happy Holidays!
on the list, Liz. muchas gracias!
We've been known to hit up Waffle House or Hounddog's Pizza (to go) on the night of Christmas Day after returning home from family festivities.
Hmmm… I am maybe not going to Cleveland this Christmas. :(
This stuff is good to know, thanks.
ETA: That looks like Walker's "I don't take any crap, I will moderate your a**" picture :D
Lee Garden is always open on xmas. And is packed with Dublin high school alumni drinking heavily most years.
I work at Moretti's of Arlington and the Worthington Inn, and both are open on Christmas Eve.
It's more snack than meal, but Buckeye Donuts is open 365 days a year.
We don't serve food, but for post family decompression drinks- we are open 7pm- 2:30am both xmas eve and xmas day. I will even be slinging the drinks on xmas eve. I might bring some cookies or chocolate to share as well :D
pattycake bakery will be open christmas eve regular business hours and 10 am to 6 pm on christmas day!

Too many people sit and wait for life and career to happen
While the cold, numbing temperatures have been a hot topic in the news lately, another most talked about item is the recent CIBC survey on the financial priorities of Canadians. According to the poll conducted by Harris/Decima, 16 per cent of survey respondents planned to focus on paying down their debt while 11 per cent were planning to focus on building up their savings. However, as CIBC executive vice-president Christina Kramer acknowledged, many people struggle to make progress with their financial goals. This might well be caused by the fact fewer than 47 per cent of survey participants had met with a financial adviser over the past year. In other words, most people seem to be using a "do-it-yourself" approach to personal financial management.
Yet, I can suggest most people also take the "do-it-yourself" approach to career management, and in many cases, neglect their career altogether. Sure, people develop a plan to get a university or college degree, a professional designation and/or move into the technical trades, however once this first key goal is met, it seems the concept of career management rarely enters their minds again. Instead, I believe most individuals settle into their first job and then sit and wait for life and career to happen.
In my experience as a career specialist, I often find those individuals who simply wait in line for career opportunities to come their way fail to ensure their educational credentials meet changing standards. For instance, they brush off internal training courses offered by their employer and also refuse to attend advanced college or university courses unless funded by the company. For some reason, taking personal responsibility for learning is simply not part of their genetic code.
I believe this type of individual also fails to see the connection between education and the ability to increase one's earnings. Too bad, because one day they'll find themselves out of work with outdated educational credentials that will hinder their being re-employed at the level to which they've been accustomed. In other words, at some point in the future, these individuals will suffer from both financial as well as "career" debt.
With our world of work changing so quickly, I can only urge readers to take responsibility for managing their career and personal future throughout their lifetime. Ignoring career planning will only lead to more complex challenges down the road. So, what can be done to manage one's career? Thankfully, there are plenty of both short- and long-term strategies involving formal and informal learning. The following tips should spark some creative thinking.
-- Watch for trends: Every industry sector is impacted by trends, be it economic, social, technological or political. Just look around you and observe what's happening to your colleagues and/or your competitors. Is there growth, layoffs or status quo? What's going on with your employer and how will this impact you? Are you ready?
-- Get in the know: Join a professional association and, if already a member, start to attend meetings and events. Network with others and get to know what's going on in your industry. Explore your profession on the Internet, check various websites to determine job activity, scan the government sites for predictions on current and future labour requirements. Finally, become a voracious reader and get in the know.
-- Set some career goals: Setting goals can be as simple as planning to read a professional book every month or learning something new about your company right up to returning to formal education. Be realistic and be sure to balance all of life's requirements such as time, money, work and family. Keep in mind slow and steady wins the race.
-- Take advantage of courses: The only job security you'll ever have is your skill set and it is critical your skills are current. Take advantage of courses offered by your company; this not only ensures skill currency, but lets the employer know you are actively participating in their future direction as well as your own. Choose courses that will broaden and enhance your skill set.
-- Seek out opportunities: Make yourself as valuable to the employer as you can. Do this by taking on challenging stretch assignments and/or new roles within the company, offering to steer a special project or being an active member on a special committee. Each new experience creates new learning and new skill development.
-- Build an active network: I find once people find a job, they often tend to hibernate, connecting with associates only when they are back on the job market. This is a big career mistake! If you want to protect your career, you not only need to be active in your network, you need to continue to build that network. Your network is where you will find out information, be alerted to opportunities and areas of risk. The network is where your friends will be in times of need. The network will be your key to finding another job.
-- Finish that degree: Life may have got in the way and you left a degree unfinished. Now is the time to finish it and/or transfer credits to another program that interests you today. Many universities will allow mature students to enter a graduate program even if the undergraduate is incomplete. With life work experience behind you, this is a good option to explore.
-- Enjoy a hobby: Part of career success is enjoying life/work balance so you are not stressed and can return to work each day refreshed. Job burnout is a career killer. Find a hobby or join a social group. After all, there are a multitude of activities for every area of interest so there is really no excuse.
-- Learn to accept and manage change: Like it or not, our world of work is changing and changing fast. If you fail to change along with this, you'll get left behind. Assess your own ability to change, identify your personal resistors and find specific tactics to overcome them. Remember, stubborn resistance is a career killer.
Your goal is to set yourself up for long-term success. This goes beyond setting a specific career goal to "be this or that." Rather, in my view, it means paying attention to life around you every single day and then consciously making personal career adjustments that will ensure job security and career longevity.

FCC regulators are "divided over whether to penalize" Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. as the 17-month investigation of Fox's ownership nears an end, according to Paul Farhi of the WASHINGTON POST. The probe centers on whether Fox TV is a foreign-owned corporation and must be restuructured if the network is to own local stations. Sources familiar with the debate told the POST that commission members are "sufficiently apart" and that it is "unlikely" the FCC will vote to adopt a staff recommendation that News Corp.'s stake in ownership of Fox stations be reduced to less than the 25% limit for a foreign company (WASHINGTON POST, 4/26). Two "powerful" House Republicans have "attacked" an FCC plan to force the restructuring, according to yesterday's VARIETY. Reps. Jack Fields (R-TX) and Mike Oxley (R-OH) are said to oppose any sanctions (VARIETY/N.Y. POST, 4/26). SEE YOU IN SYDNEY? After meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, with IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, Murdoch reiterated his intention to bid on the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. IOC Marketing Dir Michael Payne said negotiations with U.S. networks will be held this summer. Payne: "Our concern has always been only to negotiate and discuss with those broadcasters and networks that can guarantee complete penetration of the marketand free access to the public. Fox is now on equal footing with the three networks. They can deliver the Olympics and other sports events to all homes in America" (AP/Mult., 4/26).

BANGKOK (AP) — With just hours left before the U.S. hits the "fiscal cliff," investors on the other side of the world sold off stocks to lock in profits just in case budget negotiations in Washington fail.
American political leaders face a Monday night deadline to reach an agreement before steep tax increases and spending cuts begin to take effect Jan. 1. The cuts and increases would come at a time when the U.S. economy is still struggling to recover from the last recession.
Democrats and Republicans have failed so far to reach a budget deal despite intense negotiations. President Barack Obama says any deal must include higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans. Republicans, meanwhile, have been demanding deeper spending cuts than Democrats want to make.
Much of the impasse centers on how to address the automatic tax increases that take effect in 2013. That's when tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush, and extended under Obama, are scheduled to expire. That would drive taxes up for nearly all Americans and deplete the already fragile economy of $536 billion. And budget cuts of 8 percent or 9 percent would hit most of the federal government, totaling about $110 billion.
Some economists predict the tax-and-spending effects of the fiscal cliff could eventually throw the economy into recession — although if the deadline passes, politicians still have a few weeks to keep the tax hikes and spending cuts at bay by repealing them retroactively once a deal is reached.
Still, the failure to adhere to the deadline will be bad for investor confidence, according to Francis Lun, managing director of Lyncean Holdings in Hong Kong.
"I think the market reaction to that will be very negative. This means the U.S. will never be able to bring its house in order. And the deficit will continue to accumulate," Lun said. "No meaningful reform and no solution in sight. You can throw confidence out of the window."
The uncertainty drove down stock markets on the last trading day of the year. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.5 percent to close at 4,648.90, with profit-taking driving the market's direction, analysts said.
Peter Esho, chief market analyst at CityIndex in Sydney, said Australian markets could cope with the fiscal cliff uncertainty — as long as it doesn't blow up into the financial crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Commissioner Piebalgs visits Mali on anniversary of donor conference
One year after the Donors' Conference for Mali that was held in Brussels and raised 3.3 billion euro to support the reconstruction of the country, EU Development Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, hosts an event in Bamako to follow-up on the commitment.
The event, on May 15, will serve to discuss progress and challenges on issues ranging from the supply of basic services for the population, such as water and education, to the return of the administration in the north of Mali, efforts for national reconciliation and democracy.
During his visit, the Commissioner will inaugurate the resumption of works on the road between Niono and Timbuktu, in the north of the country, which had been interrupted during occupation of the area by rebels and terrorist groups. The road will be the first and only paved link between the capital Bamako and Timbuktu.

- The future has arrived March 11
A Tel Aviv-based company is preparing to debut Moodies, an emotion-sensing smartphone app. Users speak a few words into the microphone and the app uses an algorithm based on pitch, timing, volume, pauses, and energy to gauge the speaker's emotional state.
Though the app itself is intended to be playful (an emoticon is assigned to a user's mood), the technology is also being developed with more serious applications in mind. One developer is pitching "honesty maintenance" software to human resources departments to detect interviewees' fibs. Developers also say their software could be used to screen airline passengers, keep tabs on employees, and detect fraud, according to The Wall Street Journal.- -

The 2014 NYSPHSAA Semi-Final Football games are set for November 21 and 22. They will take place at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester and Dietz Stadium in Kingston. Section 2 and Section 9 lead the charge with 5 teams competing and Section 6 has 4. The winners will play next weekend at the Carrier Dome for the State Championships. The schedule of the games are attached.
Section 9, on the rise, sends five teams to state semis for first time in history
The days of Section 9 serving collectively as a punching bag in the state playoffs are long gone. Want proof? Look at the results over the past decade.
Even more impressive is the fact that Section 9's results keep getting better. Section 9 made history last season by sending four teams to the semifinals of the state playoffs – Monroe-Woodbury (Class AA), Cornwall (A), Marlboro (B) and Chester (D). It marked the first time in the 21-year history of the state's full playoff format that four Section 9 teams reached the final four.
This fall, Section 9 has stepped it up a notch: Five teams are alive! All five Section 9 teams are one win away for playing for a state championship.
Newburgh (AA), Cornwall (A), Marlboro (B), Millbrook (C) and Chester (D) will all be playing in the state semifinals next weekend. Local teams are 11-16 all-time in the semifinals of the state football playoffs. Monroe-Woodbury has five of the wins, reaching the Class AA state championship game every year from 2005-08 and last season.
The Crusaders won the state title in 2005. Only one other Section 9 team has ever won a state championship – Rondout Valley in 2000. Jim Malak, who coached that historic Rondout Valley team, is now an assistant with Marlboro.
NYSPHSAA Regionals in Full Swing
The NYSPHSAA Regional Playoffs start the weekend of November 14 and 15. Attached are the list of teams and sectionals particiapting. The winners will move on to the Semi-Finals at Dietz Stadium and the Carrier Dome for November 21 and 22. Good luck to all.

Betty- I have not been to the Summit, but recently reviewd their brochure. The rooms shown and described seem to be circa late 1970 (description of room includes "electronic am/fm digital clock radio" as if that is a big deal) By the clothes the people are wearing and other details (Pac Man video game in the game room, wooden tennis rackets and SHORT white tennis shorts on the guys)the photos are obviously 20 years outdated. Perhaps they have renovated the rooms since then, but why not make a new brochure if they did? I would be afraid of 20 year old carpet and disco-esque furnishings.

6 years ago when my husband and I married, we wwanted to take a short honeymoon, because we were going to Europe later on in the year. It was between Cape May and the Poconos. We flipped a coin. The Poconos won, we were the biggest losers. Most of the resorts are something out the 60's, run down and not at all as advertised. Although we have alot of funny stories about our 4 days there, it really was a disaster.

I drive over Rte 80 West quite regularly going from NJ to PA and pass by a resort identifed on the roadside signs as the "Summit Resort". If it's the same place you're thinking of the most charitable comment I can make is that there's some beautiful countryside within short driving distanmce of the location. The resort has a tiny "lake" (really just a big pond) and look quite dated on the outside. It's very close to a major highway and not what I'd consider to be secluded. If you're into outlet shopping there is a huge outlet store center called the "Crossing" which is very close by.
