As I understand the Text under the heading of 'Failings', these rules are optional. The very beginning of this text implies they are RP aids for less experienced players, but they have rule mechanic bonuses and penalties associated with them. On one hand, I applaud the concept, on the other I feel they draw players OOC for what I refer to as an "RP hiccup" and fail in practical application in-game, IC.
In Deathwatch, there is a similar mechanic, known as Demeanor. PCs acting in accordance with their Demeanor receive a situational bonus to a Skill or Characteristics Test, but this causes the "RP hiccup" when a Player suddenly says "I'm going to act in accordance with/call upon my Demeanor", and quite frankly it just seems trite.
There is no way this mechanic can be implemented without ruining immersion. Either the GM trusts Players to "act out" the Failings and Motivations (or Demeanor, for that matter) and leave them to decide if they deserve the bonus during game play (causing the Player to consider mechanics rather than RP), or the Player must alert the GM to something the PC is doing because it specifically offers a rule mechanic benefit (the hiccup), or the GM must now keep ongoing lists of PC behavior models and alert Players to their RP bonus.
At first, I liked what HappyDaze has done with the House Rule of separating "crunch" from the RP assistance of Failings and Motivations, but the more I thought about what Failings represented I just couldn't get behind the situational modifiers that would be handed out (Incursions). And that is the root of my dislike for Prides, Disgraces, and Motivations: it's just another step along the chargen process allowing Players to personally tinker their PC, "this for that, driven by this", and there's no legitimate need for it. PCs should have something to work toward during gameplay- Failings just aids in softening the first landing point, and needlessly too because there exist already Characteristic, Skill, and Talent Advances. And let's not forget Aligning the PC with one power or another as a way of further defining PC "motivation", particularly because doing so makes Alignment-specific advances less expensive.
Does not the GM already determine Difficulty modifiers for Tests? Does not the GM already determine when a Player's RP is particularly engaging and award benefits accordingly? Aren't these enough?
Prides define the moment of mindset that led a PC to Chaos. Falling back on Pride for a crunch benefit is the act of denying Disgrace, but there is no RP in it. Disgrace is the thing you want to keep secret, but the PC is going to "drop hints" of his/her Disgrace by acting it out and risk letting the secret slip? Then, there's Motivations- in our everyday lives, our motivations change dramatically from interaction to interaction (and I do understand that Motivations are meant to be overarching), so why pigeon hole a PC with a single Motivation? What if circumstances demand a Motivation be changed; then what? Delete the old crunch, record the new? That hardly seems like paperwork I want to press on my Players just because they are RPing their characters.
Failings are offered as a RP "crutch", but more experienced Players don't need them, less experienced Players won't grasp the subtle nuance of their intent (thus wasting the crutch), and there really is no need for them. It's not like the Archetypes aren't already handing out bonuses and penalties. You want +5 to a Characteristic of your choice? I say earn it during game play with some good RP and spend XP for the Advance.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Looking for a range hood without alot of noise? The Broan Allure II might be just the one for you. With up to 300CFMs this hood has alot of suction power to get rid of your unwanted smoke, odors, and other contaminents. The Allure II Features a nonstick Teflon coated bottom pan for ease in cleaning, dishwasher safe aluminum mesh filters, three fan speeds and three light settings for bright or nightlight illumination. (Bulbs not included)The hood can be ducted vertically or horizonally with either 3 1/4 inch x 10 inch rectangle or 7 inch round duct. Or it can be converted to non-ducted with the purchase of additional filters. The hood requires hard wiring the electrical right to your service panel which may require the help of an electrician if your wiring is not already run to the spot you will be placing the unit.My only real complaint is with the install. Installing the hood was not at all fun. You will want an assistant to help mount it and it is definately not a beginners job. Had I had to do it all over again, we would have paid the $144 for installation. If you have off center duct work or are inexperianced with electrical hard wiring and can afford to do so, safe yourself the greif, and let the experts handle it.

Minnesota Attorney General's Office

Press Release
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson today filed a lawsuit against a woman and her companies for falsely posing as an attorney and charging immigrants thousands of dollars for legal work on immigration matters that she was not legally authorized to perform.
"This is an example of someone exploiting the complexity and cost of the legal process to their own advantage and to the detriment of others," said Attorney General Swanson.
Attorney General Swanson indicated that her office has filed a number of lawsuits in recent years involving companies and individuals that seek to take advantage of people facing a costly and complicated legal system.
The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County District Court against two companies, American Group US, Inc. and The Legacy Firm Corporation, and Ornella Hammerschmidt, a woman from Shakopee, Minnesota that runs them.
The defendants charged Spanish-speaking immigrants with limited English language proficiency as much as $12,000 for legal work on immigration matters. The legal work included assistance on applications for citizenship, asylum, and other immigration matters. Ms. Hammerschmidt is not an attorney, but she held herself out as one and held her companies out as being capable of providing immigration legal services. The company often gave consumers a business card or other paperwork calling Ms. Hammerschmidt an "International Attorney."
Among other things, the lawsuit alleges the companies:
- Charged impoverished immigrants thousands of dollars in fees for immigration-related legal services they weren't legally authorized to perform under state or federal law.
- Held Ms. Hammerschmidt out as an attorney and held themselves out as being qualified and able to provide legal advice on immigration matters.
- Provided legal advice to clients that they did not have the legal authority or expertise to provide, such as advice about the steps the client should pursue in an immigration proceeding.
- Took money from clients for services that were not provided or that were delayed for lengthy periods of time.
- In some cases, falsified signatures on immigration filings or prepared paperwork with wrong information.
Consumers who did business with the companies indicate the following:
- A woman states that she paid the defendants $7,000 to submit a visa application on her behalf, but the application contained errors, mistakes, and falsified signatures, forcing the woman to withdraw the application through her new lawyer. The woman worries that this will impact her 16 year-old son, who would someday like to join the U.S. Army.
- A consumer states that he paid the defendants $5,800 for help obtaining a work permit. After a series of delays and repeated demands for more money from the defendants, he learned that the work permit had been issued in another person's name.
- A woman states that she told the defendants that facts in her asylum application were untrue, but the defendants told her to submit the forms anyway. The filing of false forms with the Executive Office for Immigration Review can subject a client to harsh penalties, including potential deportation.
- A woman states that she was ordered to be deported because she missed a court hearing about which the defendants never informed her. The order is now being appealed by her new attorneys.
The lawsuit alleges violations of the state's immigration services law, unauthorized practice of law statute, and consumer protection laws. It seeks an injunction to prevent further harm and restitution for consumers, among other remedies.
The Attorney General's Office advises consumers in need of legal help on immigration matters to make sure the person hired is authorized to provide legal advice. Under federal law, only an attorney or an accredited representative working for a Board of Immigration Appeals-recognized organization may provide legal advice on immigration matters. More information about immigration assistance scams and the steps to follow to prevent being scammed is available at www.uscis.gov.
People may report complaints to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office by calling (651) 296-3353 or (800) 657-3787. People may also download a Complaint Form from the Attorney General's Office website at www.ag.state.mn.us and mail the completed form to the Attorney General's Office at: 1400 Bremer Tower, 445 Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101 2131.

Depends on the 3rd party brand... Some of the older Vivitar lenses were better than those sold by the camera manufacturers. I have one of their 75-205mm f3.8 zooms which is a very solid performer and well made too.
There's someone on another forum I use with one of the Hoya 28mm lenses, although I'm not sure if it's the same version as the one you're looking at he's very happy with it.
My advice: See how much they go for in private sales. Unless you pay over the odds you can usually sell on camera gear that you decide you don't like for pretty much what you paid.

Enjoy the available yard games - croquet, Frisbee golf, lacrosse toss, ladder ball, boom ball, washer toss, and bean bag toss! A hammock is available for extra relaxation near the water. An area around the house is fenced in, keeping young children secure. A large fire pit is located lake side, with plenty of firewood available.

The Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore was recently voted the best beach area in the nation by Good Morning America! Take the entire family for a one-of-a-kind experience at the Cherry Bowl Drive-in in Honor. Traverse City is only 14 miles east with excellent shopping and restaurants. Visit local wineries along the Leelanau/Mission peninsulas. Take a fall color-tour along the famous route M-22; the scenery along that roadway is magnificent during September and October. The state park is a 2 minute walk away with hiking/biking trails. Take in a concert or live theatre presentation at Interlochen Center for the Arts, less than 15 minutes away. Be sure to visit the Lake Ann Grocery in downtown Lake Ann. The store is amazingly stocked, having almost everything anyone could ever need! DVDs are also available for rent at the LA Grocery.
Keywords: Lake house, cottage, cabin
My parents have had a home in Lake Ann for almost 20 years, and my husband and I fell in love with the area after vacationing here yearly with our children. A surprising opportunity presented itself, and before long, we also became property owners in Lake Ann. We actually had no intention on renting out the house, but after we were relocated to NC, it sat idle for most of the year. We decided that until we were able to return, we should share the special benefits of this home with others who love Northern Michigan!
This is the most relaxing place in the world! We enjoy the quiet atmosphere, the wildlife, the lakeside setting, and Traverse City offerings. We get all the benefits of the lake - the loons swimming in our bay, the great fishing, the boating and tubing, the quality family time! All of us look forward to playing cards on the porch, bonfires and s'mores lakeside, and just being together! You just can't beat early morning coffee on the deck - picture-perfect sunshine reflecting off a water surface smooth as glass................. life doesn't get any better than that!

So I have the following shaders which work (to the extent that they are completed anyway).
//Vertex Shader
uniform float offset;
void main()
gl_TexCoord[0].t = gl_MultiTexCoord0.t;
gl_TexCoord[0].s = gl_MultiTexCoord0.s + offset;
vec4 vert = gl_Vertex; //does nothing atm
//vec4 vert123 = (gl_ModelViewMatrix * vert); //problem code that should have no effect but instead stops my shader from using the offset
gl_Position = vec4(gl_Vertex.x,gl_Vertex.y,-1,gl_Vertex.w);
//Fragment Shader
uniform sampler2D texture;
void main()
vec4 TextureColor = texture2D(texture, vec2(gl_TexCoord[0].s, gl_TexCoord[0].t));
gl_FragColor = TextureColor;
Basically it draws a rectangle the size of the screen, centered on the screen but with offset on the x value of the texture. This gives me panoramic background scenery.
I would like to add some functionality so I can look up and down but I have the following problem:
As soon as I multiply something by
gl_ModelViewMatrix, my offset stops working and I get a static background image. Literally, all I do is uncomment that line and my code breaks. No errors, and there are no shader compiler warnings and it still draws the image centered on the screen—but without the offset.
Am I blind or is that multiplication somehow being destructive?
Also replacing
gl_ModelViewMatrix with
gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix or
ftransform() all cause the same problem.
This also breaks it:
mat3 modelview = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix;. So it seems that just accessing it causes things to stop working. I'm using these matrices in other shaders without problems though.

Kudos to the Journal's editors for the fine June 29 editorial "Cianci's quest." Though he may seem bright, articulate, and well-intentioned, Buddy Cianci is perceived to be a crook, a twice-convicted felon. The very mention of his name, in Rhode Island or elsewhere, is enough to bring forth unpleasant memories of his past activities and questions about his future.
At a time when the City of Providence and the state of Rhode Island are trying desperately to move forward, the prospect of another Cianci mayoral term is not a pleasant one.

A "standout" performance in Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera
October 8, 2014
Thomas Hampson is garnering spectacular reviews for his portrayal of Count Anckarström in Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera at San Francisco Opera. This is Hampson's second Verdi role at SFO, following a star turn in title role of Macbeth in 2007. See what critics have to say about this not-to-be-missed performance:
" . . . baritone Thomas Hampson's portrayal of Anckarström emerged as the strongest character. The intensity of his voice depicted a man who clearly enjoyed his position of power."

|I am going to the zoo tomorrow. Is there anything I should bring? What if I find a great cutting or something? Need voices of experience. Liz
Follow-Up Postings:
|Last time I tried to take a cutting of something at a public garden I got chased by the flower cops. They don't like you to touch the plants.
Couple years ago I was at the garden behind the Alamo mission in San Antonio with my mother. Without thinking I reached down to deadhead a dahlia and the flower cop was on me like a duck on a june bug. "Never touch the plants!" she yelled. I was mortified and my little 78 year old mother almost fell over from fear.
Then last year I was at a botanic garden somewhere in Georgia and reached down to touch a flower cluster on a hydrangea. The plant cop materialized out of the mist and pointed at me and said, "No NO!" Just like I was some wayward two year old.
What to take? Ski mask (for disguise), bicycle (for quick getaways), sharp bypass pruners with pruner holster (for ease of sneak) and a buddy (to fake a seizure as a distraction in case the flower cops come after you.)
Moral of the story, if you're planning to take cuttings or snatch seed heads from a public garden, just don't get caught.
|"Ski mask (for disguise), bicycle (for quick getaways), sharp bypass pruners with pruner holster (for ease of sneak) and a buddy (to fake a seizure as a distraction in case the flower cops come after you.)"
I would also suggest a cute outfit in camo gear....maybe if you jumped into the foliage first you would blend in and could whittle away unnoticed? Or if you are real lucky, the zookeepers aren't as vigilent as the Garden cops?
Either way, good luck and be sure to demand your ONE phone call:)

|This program will focus on developing strategies for creating and navigating change as we look toward the future. The goal is to enhance students' capacities to respond to and promote change on personal and institutional levels. Within this context, students will study historical trends and contemporary practices that will shape and impact their future endeavors. By analyzing and evaluating the effectiveness of existing models, students will develop proactive interventions to address pressing community problems.The topic of change will be approached through studies in philosophy, history, sociology, psychology, political economy, scientific inquiry, environmental studies, law, literature, visual/media arts, mathematics, and logic. Students will enhance their knowledge with skill development in the following areas: writing, mathematical reasoning, media literacy, multimedia technology, statistics, public speaking, and organizational and community development.During the fall, students will explore historical and philosophical traditions that inform efforts to design pathways for future possibilities. This includes investigating personal and societal notions of the natural and social worlds as portrayed through arts and humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.During the winter, students will utilize an interdisciplinary approach to explore and understand contemporary models of change. This includes researching specific community-based problems and identifying proactive strategies that address such concerns.During the spring, students will investigate successful models of change to extrapolate how such models might be useful, but also might be limited in their capacity to address future possibilities, and to propose proactive community-based interventions tailored to specific community concerns.

|This yearlong upper-division program will provide an interdisciplinary, in-depth focus on how land has been viewed and treated by humans historically and in contemporary times. How can today's built environments be explained, and what should be preserved? We will give special attention to the political, legal, economic, social/cultural, environmental, and justice contexts of land use. We will also look at land ethics, concepts of land ownership, and efforts to regulate land uses and protect lands that have been defined as valuable by society. We will consider more sustainable development patterns to accommodate population growth and improve public health, especially walkable urban density.To understand the purpose of land use policy and regulation, the following topics and disciplines will be used to evaluate the human treatment of land, primarily in the United States: history and theory of land use planning; economic and community development; the structure and function of American government and federalism; public policy formation and implementation; contemporary land use planning and growth management; elements of environmental and land use law; economics; fiscal analysis of state and local governments; and selected applications of qualitative and quantitative research methods, such as statistics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Our goal is to have students leave the program with a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of issues surrounding land use planning, restoration, urban redevelopment, stewardship, conservation, and the specific skills sets required for professional level work in this dynamic field.The program will include lectures, seminars, guest speakers, films, workshops and in-class simulations (e.g., a mock public hearing), field trips in western Washington and individual and group research projects and presentations. Students will also acquire professional writing skills through instruction and practice in formats such as the policy briefing paper. Fall quarter will focus on developing an understanding of the political and economic history that brought about the need for land use regulation. This will include understanding the political, legal, theoretical, and economic context. Winter and spring quarters will continue these themes into contemporary applications and the professional world of land use planning, such as understanding the legislative and public policy processes in Washington at the state and local government levels, major policies such as the Washington State Growth Management Act, historic preservation, and economic development. During spring quarter, additional subtopics of interest to the program will be explored through major group projects and presentations or internships. Students will leave the program with credits for an emphasis in land use planning—an excellent preparation for potential professional careers and the prerequisites for many graduate programs in land use planning, public administration, and public policy.

|We will examine the nature, development, and concrete workings of modern capitalism and the interrelationship of race, class, and gender, primarily in the contemporary context. We will focus on the themes oppression, exploitation, social movements, reform, and fundamental change, as well as the construction of alternatives to capitalism, nationally and globally. We will examine social changes that have occurred in the past, present trends, and alternatives for the future. We will examine different theoretical frameworks such as liberalism, Marxism, feminism, anarchism, and neoclassical economics, and their explanations of the current United States and global political economy and of key issues such as climate change, poverty and inequality, immigration and the criminal justice system.In studying the U.S. experience, we will study linkages from the past to the present, between the economic core of capitalism, political and social structures, and gender, race, and class relations. Resistance and social movements will be a central theme. We will also investigate the interrelationship between the U.S. political economy and the changing global system, historically and in the present. We will study causes and consequences of the globalization of capital and its effects in our daily lives, and the role of multilateral institutions. We will analyze the responses of societies such as Venezuela and social movements such as labor, feminist, anti-war, environmental, anti-racist, indigenous, and youth, and the global justice movement in the U.S. and internationally in opposing the global order. We will look at alternatives to neoliberal capitalism, including participatory socialism and strategies for fundamental change.Students will be introduced to economics from a neoclassical and political economy perspective. Within microeconomics, we will study topics such as the structure and failure of markets, work and wages, growing economic inequality, poverty, and the gender and racial division of labor. We will study macroeconomics, including austerity policies and critiques of it, the role of debt, and causes and solutions to unemployment and economic instability.Students will engage the material through seminars, lectures, guest speakers, films, workshops, synthesis papers based on program material and concepts, and a take-home exam.

|This program focuses on the issue of power in American society. We will investigate the nature of economic, political, social, military, ideological, and interpersonal power. The interrelationships of these dimensions will be a primary area of study. We will explore these themes through lectures, films, seminars, a journal, and short papers.The analysis will be guided by the following questions, as well as others that may emerge from our discussions: What is meant by the term "power"? Are there different kinds of power and how are they interrelated? Who has power in American society? Who is relatively powerless? Why? How is power accumulated? What resources are involved? How is power utilized and with what impact on various sectors of the population? What characterizes the struggle for power? How does domestic power relate to international power? How is international power used? How are people affected by current power structures? What responsibilities do citizens have to alter the structure of power? What alternative structures are possible, probable, necessary, or desirable?In a time of war and economic, social, and political crisis, a good deal of the program will focus on international relations in a systematic and intellectual manner. This is a serious class for serious people. There is a good deal of reading and some weeks are more complex that others. Please be prepared to work hard and to challenge your previous thinking.

|This program is an upper-division program designed for students who have social, cultural, or economic ties to tribes. The curriculum is built around three themes that rotate one per year. For 2015-2016, the theme is . There are five curricular elements of the program: Core Course, Integrated Skills, Strands, Integrated Seminar, and Independent Study.The Core Course is a 9-credit unit taught at all sites at the same time with the same readings and assignments, but allows for faculty/student innovation and site specification. In the fall, the sub-theme is in which students will receive an overview of federal Indian law through a study of historical and contemporary materials and case law. It covers the basic conflicts among sovereign governments which dominate this area of law, including conflicts over jurisdiction, land rights, hunting and fishing rights, water rights, domestic relations law, and environmental protection. The winter sub-theme, will allow students the opportunity to study the politics of U.S. presidents and world leaders, as well as their rise to international leadership positions. Students will examine the role that race, class, gender, nationality, education, and other differences have in advancing or inhibiting individuals to places of privilege and power. Students will also explore ideas and concepts of mixed heritage, ethnocentricity, inheritance, royalty, and tribal affiliation, as well as the intersections between human rights, civil rights, social justice issues, and forms of resistance. They will be given an opportunity to critically analyze multiple perspectives of colonization and oppression through review of American democracy and other world governmental structures. Finally, students will compare and contrast works from Theater of the Oppressed which will add to the complexity of the student's knowledge constructionFor spring quarter, the sub-theme is , in which students will use a variety of methods, materials, and approaches to explore contemporary sustainability issues in the U.S. and abroad. Students will examine the intersection of social, environmental, and economic practices on the sustainability of the planet's biological systems, atmosphere, and resources. In particular, students will focus on energy, climate change, maintaining biodiversity and health, population growth, as well as social and environmental justice. Each Core is taught from a tribal perspective in a global community.Integrated Skills, including critical thinking and analysis, research and writing, public speaking, collaboration, personal authority, and indigenous knowledge, are taught across the curriculum, integrated into all teaching and learning at the sites and at Saturday classes. Strands, another element, are 2-credit courses taught on four Saturdays per quarter, which allow for breadth in the program and make it possible to invite professionals and experts in specific fields to offer courses that otherwise might not be available to students in the program. The Integrated Seminar, held on the same four Saturdays as the morning Strands, is called , and is a 1-credit workshop generally built around Native case studies. The program also includes student-initiated work through independent study.

|What factors determine how healthy we are? How does population health differ from health at the individual level? Why is it that health depends on so many factors outside of the health care sector? These questions form the core of this 8 credit program. We will learn about the definition and scope of public health. Students will work individually and in groups to understand milestones in the history of public health, the basic tools of public health research, and the challenges to successful health promotion projects. The learning community will work in small groups to identify a significant public health problem, develop a health promotion/intervention, and consider methodology for evaluation of impact. We will also work on line with available public databases to understand more about the reasons behind systematic health inequities. The program will focus on public health issues in the United States but will also draw on international examples of successful interventions.

|This is an opportunity to explore the broad conditions that shape legislation. We will examine models, evidence, and debates about the sources, causal connections, and impacts of evolving systems of law, regulation, governance, and a broad array of community response. Each student will be learning through work as an intern with a legislator and her or his staff. This will involve intensive staff-apprenticeship activities, especially legislative research and draft development, bill tracking, and constituent correspondence.Each student accepted as an intern will develop an internship learning contract, profiling legislative responsibilities and linkages to academic development.In regular in-capitol seminars, each student intern will translate her or his activities in the Legislature into analytic and reflective writing about the challenges, learning, and implications of the work. Students will make presentations about their learning and participate in various workshops. Each intern will keep a journal, submitted to the faculty sponsor on a regular basis, and a portfolio of all materials related to legislative work. Drawing broadly from the social sciences, we will explore relationships between elected officials, legislative staff, registered lobbyists, non-governmental organizations, citizen activists, and district constituents. Students will learn through a range of approaches: responsibilities in an 8:00-5:00 workweek, guest presentations, seminars, workshops on budget, media panels, and job-shadowing regional officials and activists of choice. Interns will participate in a final mock hearing floor debate on current legislative issues.

Governor Patrick announces the first approved Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) district and planned project and celebrates the completion of Rice Silk Mill. (Photo Credit: Eric Haynes / Governor's Office) View additional photos.
PITTSFIELD – Friday, October 19, 2012 – Governor Deval Patrick today joined Mayor Daniel Bianchi and other officials to announce the first approved Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) district and planned project in the Commonwealth and to celebrate the completion of Rice Silk Mill, a 45-unit affordable housing project supported by the Patrick-Murray Administration.
"Investing in housing generates jobs, grows local businesses and strengthens our communities," said Governor Patrick. "Supporting reasonably priced housing for moderate and middle income families, along with our strategy of investing in education, innovation and infrastructure, will fuel economic development and rebuild our Gateway Cities."
"Gateway Cities serve as anchors for regional economic development," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "Through the Housing Development Incentive Program, our Administration will partner with Gateway Cities like Pittsfield to provide an effective tool to expand the diversity of housing stock, increase residential growth, and promote neighborhood stabilization, revitalizing our local and regional economies."
Pittsfield was the first Gateway City to submit a HDIP district and project application for approval. The approved Onota/Howard project will add 39 units of market rate housing and 10 retail spaces. The development will complement public investments the city has already made in the Downtown Arts Overlay District and a comprehensive streetscape program totaling $11 million that is in its final phase.
"The Rice Silk Mill and the Onota/Howard project are perfect examples of how state and local government can team up to work with private developers to improve our community," said Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier.
"These initiatives are an integral part of our economic development here in Pittsfield," said Mayor Bianchi. "They are preparing our city for growth and improving our housing. Governor Patrick and his Administration have been a great partner for the city of Pittsfield on so many issues, especially housing."
HDIP provides Gateway Cities with a development tool to increase residential growth, expand diversity of housing stock and support economic development. The program offers two incentives to developers who undertake substantial rehabilitation of properties and create multi-unit, market rate housing; a local option real estate tax exemption and a state tax credit for 10 percent of eligible costs, up to $1 million.
The Rice Silk Mill development was supported with more than $3.5 million from the Patrick-Murray Administration, including federal low-income housing tax credits, federal and state historic tax credits and affordable housing subsidies. The project also received funding from Community Development Action Grants (CDAG) and the MassDevelopment Brownfields Tax Credit.
The projects highlighted today are part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's "Housing that Works" initiative. Supporting quality housing is part of the ongoing effort to maintain and grow a strong economy. Developing housing that is dense, well-located and reasonably priced for moderate and middle incomes will help keep young families and individuals in Massachusetts.
Along with investments through the HDIP program, the Administration also offers support for new affordable and market rate housing through Chapter 40R funding which supports new housing that is planned, walkable, mixed-use and near jobs and transit; and Chapter 43D, which creates Priority Development Sites that established streamlined local permitting processes in approved areas.
On November 13, at the "Under One Roof" statewide housing and community development conference in Worcester, the Patrick-Murray Administration will announce additional tools to help support market rate and affordable housing creation in the Commonwealth.
Today's event highlights the Patrick-Murray Administration's commitment to investing in Gateway Cities like Pittsfield. The Administration has implemented the following strategy to make all of the state's 24 Gateway communities centers of economic activity:
- Provide long-term investments in education, innovation and infrastructure, with special attention to the growth potential of each city's entrepreneurs and small businesses.
- Leverage the potential of each community's distinctive assets, including their educational, medical and cultural institutions and their historic buildings and neighborhoods.
- Connect Gateway Cities to other local, state and global centers of innovation and economic activity.
In keeping with this strategy, the Patrick-Murray Administration has made the following Gateway City investments:
- $3,990,812,680 in Chapter 70 Education Funding in Fiscal Year 2012
- Over $1 billion in active construction contracts through MassDOT
- More than $20,860,373 in Gateway City Parks grants for park projects in 24 cities
- More than $105 million since 2007 in public safety grants for police and fire departments and non- profit agencies to maintain staffing levels and combat violence
- $17,484,882 since 2007 in Workforce Training

Who Needs God When You Have the State? Brief · November 26, 2012
Brief · November 26, 2012
The Foundation
"The hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations." --George Washington
Faith and Family
Contrast between our first and latest presidents
"Yet again, President Obama's Thanksgiving message eschewed any direct reference to thanking God, making this the fourth straight year in which the President of the United States has ignored the central message of the holiday in favor of political grandstanding.
This year, Obama's central message was that now that he's been re-elected, Americans should agree with all of his policies. His unity routine sounds strangely empty after a campaign in which he focused on dividing Americans. ... No mention of thanking God. None. But, of course, we're used to this. In 2011, there was no mention of God at all. In 2010, Obama was closer, but still missed the mark ('we'll spend some time taking stock of what we're thankful for: the God-given bounty of America, and the blessings of one another'). In 2009, Obama didn't thank God, either. Compare that to Obama's Thanksgiving Day proclamations, which he does not read or speak. Those are filled with God -- at least for the last three years. In his first year, filled with the vim and vigor of his original election, Obama preferred to eschew any direct thanking of God even in his proclamation. Of course, nobody sees these proclamations, so Obama doesn't have to be embarrassed about them.
It's no wonder that this President's Democratic National Committee platform tried to remove God. He's not a big fan of the Big Guy. Even on Thanksgiving.
After all,
what need do you have for God when you've got the state?"
--columnist Ben Shapiro

I gots one of these and it's money, but it's too big for me. It's either an XL club cut or XXL. I used to wear my jerseys a lot looser than I do now. I'm willing to mail it to anyone who wants it as long as you post pics.
It's a looker and super high-quality material. It would be perfect for Hollywood, but it's probably 4 sizes too big for him. I got it from Longscycle, if that tells you anything.

It's Rio or Madrid as Chicago, Obama snubbed for 2016 GamesRio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro, city, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro (rē`ō də zhänā`rō, Port. rē` thĭ zhənĕē`r or Madrid will host the 2016 Olympics after International Olympic Committee "IOC" redirects here. For other uses, see IOC (disambiguation).

IOC n abbr (= ) members delivered a stunning snub to favourites Chicago who had been backed by US President Barack Obama.
In a sensational first round of voting the 95 eligible voters rejected a personal plea by the most powerful man in the world and ousted Chicago.
Obama had flown in on Friday morning to appear at the final presentation but even his powerful presence, as well as the lobbying of his wife Michelle, failed to excite the members.
The American city was followed out in the second round by Tokyo whose pleas to host the Games for a second time fell on deaf ears.
The Tokyo bid team were said to be shocked and stunned as they felt their message on improving the environmment radically and placing the accent on youth Accent on Youth is a Broadway play written by Samson Raphaelson which debuted on Christmas Day, 1934. The plot concerns a lazy, middle-aged playwright who is spurred to write by his new young secretary. would play well.
Even an impressive turn by newly-elected Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama Yukio Hatoyama (鳩山由紀夫 Hatoyama Yukio) (born 2 February 1947 in Tokyo) is a politician of the Democratic Party of Japan representing the 18th district of Tokyo in the House of Representatives. failed to convince the members.
Rio's appearance in the final two is no surprise as they had consistently impressed in the past year and a stunning piece of oratory by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the presentation sealed their place.
He declared it was not only Brazil's time but also South America's as no country from the continent has previously hosted the Games.
Madrid, bidding to become the first Spanish city to host the Olympics since Barcelona's successful 1992 edition, were seen to be rank outsiders and were as much as 16/1 with British bookmakers Ladbrokes earlier in the week.
Even Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero had voiced concerns over the bid but he gave a solid performance at the presentation.
However, the presence of 89-year-old former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch Don Juan Antoni Samaranch i Torelló, Marquis of Samaranch (es: Don Juan Antonio Samaranch i Torelló, marqués de Samaranch) (born July 17, 1920 in Barcelona) is a Spanish sports official and was president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from 1980 to 2001. also helped secure vital votes.
His plea that 'his days on earth were numbered' struck a chord for many of the members who owed their positions to him during his controversial but highly successful tenure which saw the Games become the modern and commercial titan that is is now.

Time passes so quickly... especially when you're in love for the first time! Hoshino fell for Negishi the very first moment he saw her. But that was in their first year of high school, and now they're about to start their second. Will growing up change their love?
All of a sudden, it's time to start planning for the future. They're in the same school now, but someday they'll graduate. Negishi finally meets Hoshino's family, but someday they'll have to start their own. And when they take their first trip together, it seems like it's over almost as soon as it's begun. Can young love stand the test of time - or is time the only thing that can take it away?

US military chairman backs Afghanistan commander
Published on Nov 15, 2012 7:16 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The top US military officer said on Thursday he was confident that General John Allen would be promoted to Nato supreme commander in Europe despite his being linked to a sex scandal.
Gen Allen, the top US commander in Afghanistan, is currently under investigation over thousands of e-mails exchanged with the woman who inadvertently led the FBI to CIA director David Petraeus's mistress, leading to his resignation.
US President Barack Obama and Defence Secretary Leon Panetta have expressed confidence in Gen Allen, but his nomination to become the next Nato supreme allied commander has been put on hold pending the investigation.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, the highest-ranking US military officer, said he "absolutely had confidence" in Gen Allen's ability to continue directing the country's longest-running war.
