Officials push to keep early voting downtown, Portune flounders, Ohio joblessness rate falls
Mayor John Cranley yesterday offered free space to the Hamilton County Board of Elections at the city-owned Shillito's building to keep the board's offices and early voting downtown. The idea comes in the middle of a debate between Democrats and Republicans on the Board of Elections over whether they should move their offices — and early voting — to a Mount Airy facility, where only one bus line runs, to consolidate county services and avoid the cost of rent. Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann said there won't be enough occupancy at the Mount Airy location if the Board of Elections decides not to move there. For the county, a certain amount of occupancy must be filled at Mount Airy to financially justify the move and the renovations it would require. Without the move, the county will need to find another location or means to build a new county crime lab.Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune yesterday refused to announce whether he will actually run against gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, even though he told The Cincinnati Enquirer the day before that he already made a decision. At this point, Portune's lack of organization and name recognition means his chances of beating FitzGerald are slim to none.Ohio's December unemployment rate dropped to 7.2 percent from 7.4 percent the month before. The amount of employed and unemployed both increased compared to the previous year.

Judge halts election law, unemployment benefits advance, city loses budget director
A federal judge halted a controversial election law that limited minor political parties' access to the ballot and ruled that the state must allow minor parties to participate in the primary and general elections in 2014. But by merely agreeing that only the retroactive restrictions for 2014 are too burdensome for minor parties, the judge left room to keep the law intact for elections in 2015 and beyond. Still, the ruling comes as a major victory for the Libertarian Party of Ohio and other minor parties who took to calling the Republican-backed law the "John Kasich Re-election Protection Act" because it conveniently limited minor parties that are upset with Republican Gov. John Kasich's support for the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion.Ohio Sen. Rob Portman broke with most of his fellow Republicans yesterday to help advance federal legislation that would extend emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed. Still, he hinted that he would not support the three-month extension if the $6.4 billion cost isn't covered by federal spending cuts elsewhere. Without the extension, 128,600 Ohioans could lose unemployment benefits through 2014 even as the state economy shows signs of weakening. Cincinnati Budget Director Lea Eriksen yesterday confirmed she is leaving her high-level city job to take the same job in Long Beach, Calif. Peggy Sandman will fill in for Eriksen while a search for a permanent replacement is held. Eriksen's announcement comes as a blow to the city but little surprise to political watchers. Shortly before taking office, Mayor John Cranley called Eriksen and other administration officials "incompetent" because of how they handled the $132.8 million streetcar project, even though their estimates for cancellation costs turned out to be mostly on point.Newsflash: Global warming didn't stop just because we're cold now.The worst of the deep freeze should be over for Ohio.Cincinnati's 2013 homicide rate of 25 per 100,000 residents compares to Cleveland at 22, Indianapolis at 14.85, Columbus at 11.24 and Louisville at 8.43.An Ohio appeals court ruled Cincinnati can change medical benefits for retirees after all.Construction for the uptown interchange could begin in July and finish in late 2016.The city announced yesterday that it's extending its Winter Holiday Trash Amnesty through Jan. 17, which means residents have until then to set out extra trash next to their city-provided trash carts.

Streetcar construction restarts, minimum wage hike incoming, jobless benefits to expire
Construction on the $132.8 million streetcar project restarted yesterday, marking an end to the nearly two-month drama brought on by Mayor John Cranley's election and his threats of cancellation. City Council paused the project for a little more than three weeks to conduct an audit on its costs, but the legislative body agreed to restart construction last week after receiving a signed agreement from the Haile Foundation that the philanthropic group will provide $9 million over 10 years to help pay for $3.13-$3.54 million in annual operating costs. An automatic increase on Ohio's minimum wage at the start of the new year will benefit 330,000 Ohioans, according to an analysis from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). The higher wages should translate to a better economy for all Ohioans: EPI found the automatic increase will generate nearly $39 million in economic impact and 300 full-time jobs. Since a voter-approved measure in 2006, Ohio has been among several states who peg the minimum wage to increases in the cost of living.More than 36,000 Ohioans will lose emergency unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed tomorrow following a lack of congressional action, according to left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio. The emergency benefits were passed by Congress at the start of the Great Recession to help those hit worse by the economic downturn, but Congress failed to extend the benefits before it recessed for the holidays despite lingering signs of a weakened economy. Without the extension, Ohioans can tap into just 26 weeks of state-provided jobless aid; federally funded emergency benefits give the unemployed another 37 weeks to find work before losing government assistance.Here are CityBeat's top stories of 2013.The annual review of the two-year state budget could include income tax cuts, said Ohio's tax chief. The statement follows Gov. John Kasich's announced push for another income tax cut to help spur Ohio's slowing economy. The Republican governor signed a state budget that reduced taxes — particularly for the wealthy — earlier in the year, but Ohio's economy still slowed down in the past few months as the state unemployment rate surpassed the national rate for the first time in years.With the Ohio Supreme Court's rejection last week of a challenge to the state's federally funded Medicaid expansion, conservatives are conceding the battle is "over with" for now. Gov. Kasich pursued the federally funded expansion without approval from the General Assembly by going through the seven-member Controlling Board, but Republicans, who largely opposed the expansion of a government-run health care program from the start, fought against the board's approval in court.Gov. Kasich was "stingy" with his clemency powers during his third year in office, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Even though a review found Cintrifuse is a "Lead Applicant with strong position within SW Ohio entrepreneurial ecosystem," Ohio Third Frontier denied state tax credits for the local startup incubator because, according to the state review group, Cintrifuse maintains an unrealistic goal to scale to 60 tenants in its first year and lacks strategy or process for the incubator services, graduation focus, an adequate staffing plan and a defined tenant award process. Delta briefly provided very low air fares following a technical error yesterday. Much to scientists' frustration, 2014 could be a bad year for the flu after the adaptive virus evolves.Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopez

Big week for streetcar, council OKs interchange funds, emergency jobless aid to expire
Major events for Cincinnati's streetcar project this week: Today, supporters will turn in petitions to get the issue on the ballot; late today or early tomorrow, KPMG will turn in audit of the project's completion, cancellation and operating costs; tomorrow, council will take public comment on the project at 1:30 p.m.; and on Thursday, council will debate and make the final decision on the streetcar. Other streetcar news:• Mayor John Cranley is asking streetcar opponents to speak up during the public comments section of Wednesday's council meeting.• Supporters collected more than 9,000 signatures to get the streetcar project on the ballot. Nearly 6,000 signatures need to be verified to allow a vote in the coming months. City Council's budget committee yesterday advanced funding for the $106 million uptown interchange project at Martin Luther King Drive and Interstate 71. The capital funding set by council will be backed through property taxes, which, according to the city administration, will prevent the city from reducing property taxes in the future as originally planned. Still, proponents of the project, including a unanimous body of council, say the project is worth the investment; the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center found in a May 2012 study that the interchange will generate 5,900 to 7,300 permanent jobs, $133 million in economic development during construction and another $750 million once the interchange opens. Congress appears ready to pass a bipartisan budget deal that will not extend emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed through 2014, which could leave more than 36,000 unemployed Ohioans behind in December and 128,600 Ohioans without aid through 2014. The emergency benefits were originally adopted by Congress to provide a safety net for those worst affected by the Great Recession. Conservatives, touting the $25.2 billion annual cost, say the economy has improved enough to let the costly benefits expire, but liberals, pointing to the high numbers of long-term unemployed, say the benefits are still needed and would help keep the economy on a stable recovery.The Cincinnati area's economy could overtake the Cleveland area in 2015.Six men were taken into custody after a SWAT team responded to a home and engaged in a gun battle that left a three-year-old critically injured.A Union Township trustee says he can't believe Chris Finney would hurt his credibility for a $850-a-year tax break to open a law firm in Clermont County.

More Than 36,000 Ohioans Could Lose Unemployment Benefits
Congress will not extend emergency benefits through budget deal
Despite lingering signs of a weakened economy, a bipartisan budget deal working through U.S. Congress will not extend emergency benefits for the nation's long-term unemployed past Dec. 28. If the emergency benefits are allowed to expire, the cut will hit more than 36,000 Ohioans in December and 128,600 through 2014, according to left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio.Without the extension, Ohioans can tap into just 26 weeks of state-provided jobless aid. Federally funded emergency benefits give the unemployed another 37 weeks to find work before losing government assistance. The emergency benefits were originally adopted by Congress to help Americans hit hardest by the Great Recession. The economy has improved since then, but some question whether it's improved enough. "There are 4.1 million workers who have been unemployed for more than six months, which is well over three times the number of long-term unemployed in 2007, before the Great Recession began," write Lawrence Mishel and Heidi Shierholz of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (EPI).Supporters claim the benefits boost the economy by allowing the long-term unemployed to continue buying goods and services that effectively support jobs. EPI estimates the benefits would sustain 310,000 nationwide jobs in 2014. But at $25.2 billion a year, the emergency benefits come at a hefty price tag for conservatives who are trying to rein in federal spending. EPI claims the "sticker price" overestimates the net cost of the benefits. "The 310,000 jobs created or saved by the economic activity this spending generates will in turn generate greater federal revenues from the taxes paid on the wages earned by those who otherwise would not have jobs," write Mishel and Shierholz. "They will also save the government money on safety net spending related to unemployment (for example, Medicaid and food stamps)."U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, last week joined 31 other Democratic senators in support of extending the benefits."We must do everything we can to support those who are still struggling following the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Brown said in a statement. "These are hardworking Americans — many with children — who have fallen on tough times."White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Thursday the administration "absolutely expects" Congress to extend emergency benefits, but the extension could come after Congress reconvenes from a winter recess in January. The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bipartisan budget deal without an extension for the long-term unemployed. The Senate expects to take up the same budget bill sometime this week.

Streetcar cancellation costs outlined, Ohio joblessness spikes, state to repay overpaid taxes
Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick yesterday revealed that the city might only keep $7.5-$24.5 million if it cancels the $132.8 million streetcar project, after accounting for $32.8 million in sunk costs through November, a potential range of $30.6-$47.6 million in close-out costs and $44.9 million in lost federal grant money. But Mayor-elect John Cranley flatly denied the numbers because he claims the current city administration "is clearly biased toward the project and intent on defying the will of the voters." Meanwhile, at least two of the potential swing votes — incoming council members David Mann and Kevin Flynn — showed skepticism toward the estimates, although Mann said, "If they do hold up, that's fairly persuasive." Three elected council members already support the streetcar project, so only two of the three potential swing votes would need to vote in favor of it to keep it going. Ohio's unemployment rate rose to 7.5 percent in October, up from 6.9 percent a year before. The state added only 27,200 jobs, which wasn't enough to make up for the 31,000 newly unemployed throughout the past year. The numbers paint a grim picture for a state economy that was once perceived as one of the strongest coming out of the Great Recession. In comparison, the U.S. unemployment rate actually decreased to 7.3 percent from 7.9 percent between October 2012 and October 2013. (This paragraph was updated with the nonfarm numbers.) The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) will repay $30 million plus interest to businesses that overpaid taxes throughout the past three years. The announcement came after Ohio Inspector General Randall Meyer found ODT had illegally withheld $294 million in overpayments over the years. Meyer's findings were made through what was initially a probe into alleged theft at ODT. Outgoing Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan could request an automatic recount because she came tenth out of the nine elected council members, right after Councilwoman-elect Amy Murray, by only 859 votes. But Quinlivan and Hamilton County Board of Elections Chairman Tim Burke agreed the recount would be a long-shot. Still, Quinlivan noted that a flip in the count could be a big deal because she supports the streetcar project and Murray opposes it.

Cincinnati Loses Jobs in July
Employment down from June but up compared to last year
The Cincinnati area lost 4,000 jobs from June to July, but it gained 14,000 between July 2012 and July this year, far above the 3,000 necessary to keep up with annual population growth, according to data released today by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was at 7.1 percent in July, down from 7.3 percent in June and 7.4 percent in July 2012. The labor force shrunk in comparison to the previous month and year, which means the unemployment rate fell partly because many people stopped looking for jobs. The unemployment rate gauges the amount of unemployed people looking for work in comparison to the total civilian labor force, which means a decrease in the labor force can bring down the unemployment rate even if employment also drops. Economists generally prefer looking at year-over-year numbers to control for seasonal factors, such as teachers leaving the work force at the end of the school year. July's job gains were largest in professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and educational and health services, but the city lost jobs in mining, logging and construction, manufacturing and all levels of government. Ohio's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 7.2 percent in July. The U.S. rate was 7.4 percent. Since the job numbers are derived from surveys, they are often revised in later months.

Ohio's jobless rate unchanged, Port patches parking lease, anti-abortion bill returns
Ohio's unemployment rate remained at 7.2 percent in July, unchanged from June, according to new data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The amount of employed Ohioans went up by 5,300 from month-to-month and 37,700 year-over-year, showing stronger signs of job growth than earlier in the year. But the amount of jobless Ohioans still looking for jobs went up by 3,000 between June and July. In the past year, the private service-providing sector, education and health services and leisure and hospitality have gained the most jobs, while local government and construction jobs have plummeted. The Port Authority of Greater Cincinnati proposed keeping neighborhood parking meter hours the same under a lease agreement with Cincinnati in which the city is handing over control of its parking meters, lots and garages to the Port and the agency is tasking private companies with operating the assets. Keeping the meter hours the same as today, instead of expanding them as previously suggested, would lower Cincinnati's upfront lease revenue from $92 million to $88.3 million and reduce annual payments, which were originally projected at $3 million but estimated to go up over the life of the lease. Still, the move would satisfy neighborhood residents and businesses who were worried the expanded hours would quickly become a financial hassle. CityBeat covered the parking lease and the controversy surrounding it in further detail here. Republican legislators are reintroducing a bill that would ban abortions in Ohio as early as six weeks after conception, even though questions remain about the proposal's constitutionality. The bill has been dubbed the "heartbeat bill" because it prohibits abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected. A federal judge on July 22 blocked a similar law in North Dakota after deeming it unconstitutional. "The United States Supreme Court has unequivocally said that no state may deprive a woman of the choice to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability," wrote U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland, who was appointed to the District of North Dakota seat by former President George W. Bush in 2002. Health experts generally agree viability is not reached until 24 weeks into the pregnancy. Part of the Cincinnati streetcar route could be operational in late 2015, much earlier than the Sept. 15, 2016 date the city previously announced for the entire track. The Ohio Ethics Commission won't investigate Gov. John Kasich's relationship with a company that received $619,000 in tax credits from JobsOhio because Kasich supposedly made a clean break from the company upon taking office. JobsOhio, the privatized development agency established by Kasich and Republican legislators, has been mired in controversy in the past few weeks for providing state aid to companies that have direct financial ties to JobsOhio board members and the governor. Meanwhile, Kasich is fueling speculation that he will run for president in 2016. Cincinnati mayoral candidate and ex-Councilman John Cranley on Thursday unveiled an innovation plan that he says will boost government transparency and help foster Cincinnati's newly gained reputation as a tech startup hub. The plan would take $5 million in capital funds over four years and ask local startup incubators Cintrifuse, The Brandery and CincyTech where they would like to see the money going. It would also call for hiring a chief innovation officer (CIO) and creating "CincyData," a transparency initiative that would gather and publish city data to create "a more efficient, effective and user-friendly City government." Under the plan, both the CIO position and CincyData would be leveraged to find new ways to carry out city services in the hopes of running the local government more efficiently. Cincinnati Public Schools' ratings are likely to dip as the school district transitions into Common Core standards and a new state report card system. Superintendent Mary Ronan says the district is doing well but needs to work on getting kids' reading scores up to grade level. CityBeat originally covered the ratings drop here and some of the hurdles faced by CPS in the past few years here. New data show the growth of health care costs is slowing down in the Cincinnati area. Ohio will come up with a new plan to execute condemned inmates no later than Oct. 4 to deal with the state's expiring supply of drugs used to carry out capital punishments. Specifics were not detailed in court filings. Procter & Gamble is recalling dog and cat food because some of the product may be contaminated with Salmonella.

DOMA struck down, more anti-abortion measures added to budget, local employment rises
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act today in a broad ruling that requires the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages for couples who reside in a state where same-sex marriage is already legal. The ruling effectively extends equal protection rights to same-sex couples. For gay and lesbian Ohioans, that means same-sex marriage must be legalized in Ohio before the federal government is required to recognize it. FreedomOhio is already aiming to legalize same-sex marriage in the state with an amendment that could be on the ballot this year, which CityBeat covered in an in-depth report here. Republican state legislators added another anti-abortion measure to the state budget yesterday, which will require doctors to perform an external ultrasound for a heartbeat then inform the patient if one is detected. The provision is in addition to other anti-abortion measures already in the budget, including less funding for Planned Parenthood, funding for anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers and regulations that will allow the state health director to shut down abortion clinics. CityBeat covered those measures in further detail here. "This is continuing to go way overboard by a majority obsessed with abortion," said Rep. Mike Foley (D-Cleveland). Cincinnati-area employment dramatically increased in May, up 6,400 from April and 5,400 from the year before, according to new data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Although the unemployment rate went up between April and May, it went down year over year — the measure economists prefer to look at to control for seasonal factors, such as hiring picking up during the summer because of outdoors work.StateImpact Ohio says the new tax plan in the proposed 2014-2015 budget could make it more difficult to pass future school levies. The plan cuts income taxes for all Ohioans and particularly business owners, but it raises sales and property taxes to balance the cuts. CityBeat covered the tax plan in further detail here. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is giving Cincinnati a $37 million loan guarantee for economic and housing development projects that aim to benefit the region's neediest. In a statement, HUD estimated some of the economic development projects will create at least 350 new jobs. Cincinnati is continuing efforts to obtain the Wasson Way line, which the city plans to develop into a bike and hike trail. The other side of the river is getting some love, too: More luxury apartments are coming to Newport. Cincinnati was ranked No. 9 smartest city in a recent Movoto blog list. Ohioans may be souring on President Barack Obama. A Quinnipiac University poll found his approval ratings at 40 percent, his lowest grade ever in the state. Obama proposed an extensive plan to combat climate change yesterday. The plan will not require congressional approval. The cure for cancer could be found in space. Apparently, microgravity environments are optimal for cancer research.

Join Raw Rods
I've seen some sites misuse the term, but in the case of Raw Rods, they don't just mean that the sex is raunchy, but also that all of it is bareback. I appreciate the colorful gangsta way that they describe their site: "Yo, dis da latest shit right here. Brothas doin it like we do it, nottin but RAW dick up in dis joint!" All I can say in response is, "Amen brother!"
RawRods delivers some truly beautiful men of color in 203 high-def videos. All the flicks come in several sizes of MP4 files, with the streams running one of the MP4s through an embedded Flash player.
Most of the scenes include hot blowjobs and bareback sex as well as kissing and rimming in some instances. I noticed a couple of threesomes and at least one foursome, but most of the time the man-on-man encounters happen between two hot and hung dudes. Most of the studs are either gay or bisexual and their chemistry is often very palpable. I did see a few videos that had a dark-skinned man doing white or Latin boys.
There are a limited number of solo scenes and they happen to be the only ones with actual pics, not vid caps. You can download all seven photo galleries in Zip files and they have a decent amount of images to enjoy. I wish that there were photos of more of the models, because these hotties are truly some of the sexiest Nubian gods I've ever seen.
Sometimes ebony porn seems to focus only on big cocks, but these men are the total package from head to toe. We're talking gorgeous faces that could be gracing the cover of any men's fashion magazine and hard-bodied specimens who could fill the pages of a fitness mag. You'll also see hunks with that "diamond in the rough" appeal, with streetwise attire and do-rags or ball caps worn askew.
Updates are listed as weekly on the tour page (although nothing is dated in the members' area), but given the difference in numbers since our previous visit, it's probably more like three times a month. And although there aren't any bonus sites, there's desktop wallpaper to download with a nude ebony fella posing and a calendar for the current month superimposed on the image. I also appreciate that the model index has stats for each of these dreamboats. In the end, Raw Rods is easy to recommend thanks to its exclusive HD scenes.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

'Scandal': Why is Olivia Planning Fitz's Funeral? (Exclusive Video)
In a scene from Thursday's midseason finale, Cyrus reminds Washington's top political fixer not to lose hope that the president can recover from his three gunshot wounds.
Apparently Sally Langston can't wait to take over the Oval Office for good on ABC's Scandal.
In an exclusive clip from Thursday's midseason finale, titled "Blown Away," the vice president (played by Kate Burton) has given Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) a less than ideal assignment: to plan the funeral of President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn).
STORY: 'Scandal' Case Study: EP Betsy Beers on Who Shot Fitz and the Roller Coaster Ahead
"I'm making lists: of Fitz's favorite songs, bands he loves, poems he's quoted, Bible verses that seem to fit his personality, hymns he likes," a somber Olivia tells Fitz's chief of staff Cyrus (Jeff Perry).
And because that isn't enough, first lady Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) has only allowed Olivia one visit before revoking her privileges to see the president.
An emotional Cyrus, meanwhile, doesn't take the news lightly and reminds Olivia that Fitz considers her the "love of his life," and has a very powerful message for Washington's top fixer.
PHOTOS: The 100 Fresh Faces of Fall TV
Check out the clip, above, and hit the comments with your thoughts on whether you think Fitz can survive the three gunshot wounds that came at the hands of Olivia's go-to spy guy: Huck (Guillermo Diaz).
Scandal airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

20 apartments for rent in Asbury Park, Raleigh, NC
The Forest Apartments 800 White Pine Drive, Durham, NC 27705 MapStudio - 2 BR$615 - $1,500(919) 709-2939
Hawthorne Glen at Strickland 12203 Strickland Road, Raleigh, NC 27613 Map1 BR - 2 BR$775 - $1,300(919) 999-2596
There is a special spot in Raleigh where four major thoroughfares: Western Boulevard, Hillsborough Street, Buck Jones Road and Jones Franklin Road converge. Tucked away, just between Buck Jones and Western Boulevard is little Asbury Park. This small and simple community composed of single family homes and duplexes is shielded from the Raleigh hustle and bustle by foliage and pine trees.
The duplexes and the location of the community make it an excellent place for singles and small families. A convenience store and Plaza West Shopping Center are short walking distances away. The shopping center covers the basic necessities, such as fast food restaurants, dry cleaners and a grocery store. However, Plaza West also has an eclectic offering of service providers – a bar, florist, pawn shop, gym and tattoo parlor to name a few. Residents can also cross Western Boulevard for a car wash, coin laundry and hair salon.
Those that really like shopping only have to travel a short distance on Buck Jones Road. South Hills Shopping Center, Crossroads Plaza, Cary Town Center Mall and many casual dining restaurants are very close! Buck Jones is included on several routes for Capital Area Transit buses, giving Asbury Park residents an environmentally friendly transportation choice to various locations throughout Raleigh and Cary, North Carolina. Buck Jones is also home to Hope Community Church, one of Raleigh's largest and most popular non-denominational churches.
Just a little farther away are the North Carolina State fairgrounds and North Carolina State University. Traveling toward downtown Raleigh on either Western Boulevard or Hillsborough Street will provide a wide variety of restaurant and entertainment options. In the opposite direction, Asbury Park residents will find that Research Triangle Park and Durham, North Carolina are a short commute away.

Audre Lorde the Berlin Years, 1984 to 1992
1 edition published in 2012 in English and held by 77 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Audre Lorde's incisive, often-angry, but always brilliant writings and speeches defined and inspired the US-American feminist, lesbian, African-American, and Women-of-Color movements of the 1970s and 1980s. Audre Lorde, the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992, documents an untold chapter of Lorde's life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde's legacy, as she encouraged Afro-Germans -- who, at that time, had no name or space for themselves -- to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent. It chronicles Lorde's empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde's ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time, Dagmar Schultz's personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda -- to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other. 2012 marks the 20-year anniversary of Audre Lorde's passing

Importantly, this is one of the few films about Martinique that adopts a Martinican perspective on France's overwhelming and continued colonial and cultural presence. The Martinican writers ask how, in a country like Martinique, does a colonial power 're-map' space and land? How does it 're-map' a people's memories and identities? And can one resist this mapping?"--Third World Newsreel Web site
Sweet sugar rage
4 editions published between 1985 and 2008 in English and held by 42 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The Sistren Theatre Collective is an independent popular theatre company which has developed since 1977 from the initiative of working-class women in Jamaica. Using drama workshops and original plays the group works at advancing awareness on questions affecting women, particularly Caribbean women. In this film the group concerns itself with women sugar cane workers in and around "New Sugar Town," Clarendon, Jamaica. After interviewing the women in the fields, the group analyses its findings on conditions in the sugar belt and the scenario for a play emerges. Their performances speak directly to the daily experiences of women -- the least empowered workers, who labor long hours for low wages with no benefits or rights to organize for better conditions. Using role-play and interviews with female cane workers, the collective develops dramatizations which analyze social issues and pinpoint their concerns more

IT Advisory Services Intern Interview
The process took a day – interviewed at EY in March 2011.
I was contacted about a week prior with details regarding my visit to the office, and they generously flew me to New York to interview with the firm's IT Advisory Services branch.
The day consisted of the following:
2 behavioral interviews.
1 case study.
I was pleased as punch to be at the office, and the people were very nice. I thought that the managers who I interacted with were very polite, and even though I didn't get the offer, I would be very happy to interview again. Everyone else seemed very busy though, but, well, that's the nature of the job.

Jennifer Aniston Shows Skin For a Night Out With Justin and Friends
Jennifer Aniston wore a low-cut dress to attend LACMA's Art and Film Gala in LA last night. She was joined by fiancé Justin Theroux, and inside the bash, the couple met up with pals Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman. The foursome posed for photos together and even hovered over Will's phone looking at pictures. It was Drew's first red carpet since giving birth to her daughter Olive last month, and she covered her postbaby body in a gown by Lanvin. Jennifer was back in front of the cameras after attending the star-studded CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runway show with Isla Fisher, Tobey Maguire, and January Jones on Thursday.

In director Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes's gorgeously photographed video for Shabazz Palaces' Black Up track "Are You… Can You… Were You? (Felt)," a beautiful girl rides her bike through a park, argues with her mom, and narrowly avoids a collision with Ishmael Butler's Beamer. (Looks like he invested those "Rebirth Of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" royalties wisely.) That's not a whole lot of plot, but as with most things Shabazz Palaces do, the whole thing finds ways to layer all sorts of meanings on top of each other, and it adds up as a uniquely powerful piece of work. Watch it below.
Black Up is out now on Sub Pop.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Jury selection has begun for a Chinese national on trial for helping more than 50 people suspected of being in the country illegally get New Mexico driver's licenses.
The trial of Hai Gan, of The Colony, Texas, began Monday in U.S. District Court in Las Cruces. The 56-year-old is one of several people over the years linked to running such rings for Chinese nationals living in other states to obtain driver's licenses in New Mexico.
Authorities say Gan advertised in Chinese-language newspapers and told immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally he could help them get licenses by using a New Mexico address.
New Mexico law allows such immigrants living in the state to get driver's licenses.
Gov. Susana Martinez has highlighted similar fraud cases as reasons to repeal the law.

The best part was the location. We were such a short walk away from easy access to the beach, good bars, and wonderful restaurants.
The only thing I can think of is that I couldn't get my smartphone to connect to the hotel's wifi.
Very close to beach, so easily go there. Room is clean and bathroom is spacious. Good hotel with given budget.

Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:
This will blow you away. The first time you serve this, you'll be ok because they don't know how great it's going to be. The second time you serve this, you better put it on the table and get out of the way FAST cause they are going to knock you down trying to get to it. It's a recipe that I have developed through years of making it over and over and over. This is the best version I have been able to create. NOTE: This recipe is to be used with 1/2 pound of spaghetti. If you are using 1lb of spaghetti, double the recipe because there won't be enough sauce for a full pound. If you are doubling it, don't double the lemon juice or it'll be too tart, just bump it up to 3 Tbsp. and only bump the lemon pepper up to 3/4 tsp or it will be too salty for some people. MANGIA!
My Private Note
Serves: 3
Units: US | Metric
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (like Texas Pete)
- 1 lb shrimp, cooked and cleaned
- 1/2 lb thin spaghetti
- 1/2 cup grated romano cheese
- 1Start the water for the spaghetti and cook the spaghetti while you are doing the following.
- 2In a skillet over medium high heat, melt butter, add oil and garlic. Cook garlic until it just starts to brown, about 4 or 5 minutes.
- 3Add the wine, lemon juice, parsley, lemon pepper and tobasco.
- 4Simmer 5 minutes.
- 5After the 5 minutes are up, add the shrimp to the skillet and stir them around so they are covered with the juice and turn off the burner. Just let them soak in there, doing the backstroke through the sauce while the spaghetti finishes cooking. Stir them around a couple of times while you're waiting.
- 6Drain the spaghetti and put it in the serving bowl, pour the shrimp and all the sauce over top and sprinkle the entire 1/2 cup (or more) of parmesan over the top and serve.
- 7Pass more romano cheese at the table. Is there ever enough cheese on there?
