TV as Gatekeeper
Media heads decide which candidates get airtime
SO few Americans know who Larry Agran is that most surveys of presidential-candidate name recognition neglect even to ask about him.
Yet the name of this former mayor of Irvine, Calif., will appear on Democratic primary ballots in 37 states.
What condemned Mr. Agran and fellow Democratic candidates such as former United States Sen. Eugene McCarthy to political oblivion long before the first vote was cast? The single most critical gate that neither candidate could pry open this campaign was inclusion in the four debates run by the television networks.
The gate-keepers in each case were network news executives who, according to Democratic Party officials, hold sole discretion over the debate panels.
The field of candidates is far more open and uncontrolled than half a century ago, when the legendary "smoke-filled rooms" of party politicos set the candidate field. But the nearest modern cousins to those power brokers now work in the news media.
"Now it is almost impossible to be taken seriously as a national candidate if you're not seen on those debates," says Agran. Credibility with financial contributors and attention in the news media are all shut off without debate appearances, which define the choice of candidates for most voters, he says. When he pressed news executives on how they picked which candidates made the cut and which did not, the essential answer was a vague one: news judgment.
Mr. McCarthy puts the power of the media in starker terms: "If you're not covered, you're not a candidate." "It's really finally arbitrary," he says of media judgments. "What is the writ? You know, what is the source of their power to do this?"
Whatever the writ, media judgments are harnessed by convention and follow cautiously in the footsteps of consensus. Political scientists, studying how reporters, editors, and producers determine who they cover and how much, have arrived at four basic measures of whether to take a candidate seriously.

Tax the money sent home by immigrants
PUBLISHED: 22 Jan 2013 00:32:22 | UPDATED: 22 Jan 2013 00:32:22PUBLISHED: 22 Jan 2013 PRINT EDITION: 22 Jan 2013Given the softening of our economy, it is common sense to consider new revenue-raising initiatives, including taxing private (non-commercial) funds which are repatriated or remitted from this country.
Each year billions of dollars ($5 billion-plus) are sent offshore by way of remittances to the families and friends of those who now live and work in this country.
This money is lost to the Australian economy and could, in fact, be described in many instances as a form of unofficial or publicly subsidised foreign aid.
Our government already makes substantial and generous provision for this form of international assistance. A tax of, say, 25 per cent on all such remitted funds would seem not unreasonable – a policy initiative which would generate substantial revenue which could be used for the benefit of all Australians in so many areas of social need.

Father, I am so amazed and thankful for Your power to multiply our meager possessions. For if Your son can take a little boy's lunch and feed thousands, I wonder what You can do with the storehouses that we have.
"Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and asked God's blessing..." Mark 6:41
God, teach us to do as Jesus did, and take our possessions, our pantries, and our bank accounts, and lift them up toward heaven. We ask for Your blessing to multiply them. God, we don't ask this to "feed" ourselves, but to "feed" Your hungry people. -In Jesus name, Amen
Life is not about the stuff we are accumulating that fills up our closets, but the people that fill up the seats around our dinner table.
Father, I am beyond thankful for the family and friends You have put in my life that sit at my table, eat all my food, and fill my home with laughter.
Help us to never take our family and friends for granted. Help us to find ways to show them how grateful we are for their love and support. -In Jesus name, Amen.

Review: THE RAID 2
By Witney Seibold on March 26, 2014
The super-bloody and brutal violence is extensive, glorious, and exhilarating. Sadly, the length and complex story drag the movie down.
The vast bulk of American action films these days seem to be fantasy films that are rated PG-13. Sure, a lot of these friendly mainstream, teen-ready thrillers can be pretty exhilarating, but you have to admit that there is a definite lack of grit to many of them. When a superhero rams his fist into someone's face, for instance, or a dwarf swipes a sword across someone's chest (the single most common kill move in all films and TV shows featuring swords), it's always diluted by a camera angle, a lack of blood, and a strange cleanliness. There is, however, a seething, gleeful gorehound inside all of us that secretly longs for more. It's one thing to see someone die in battle; It's quite another to watch arterial spray decorate our ultra-violent hero's face and neck with a delightfully primal shade of crimson.
So it's no wonder that films like Gareth Evans' The Raid: Redemption become enormous cult hits in America. Most of their American counterparts simply aren't providing the balls-to-the-wall, fist-through-the-head violence that so many young males (and maybe a few females) crave, even when the premise is repeated with a bigger budget and a more complex setting (see Dredd). I'm happy to report that The Raid 2 provides every last bit of broken bones, crushed heads, compound fractures, bleeding wounds, and off-the-wall, near-cartoon levels of extreme gore that your heart can possibly desire. Seriously, The Raid 2 is one of the most violent films I've seen in a long while. Well, there was that Evil Dead remake. Its amazingly creative violence, paired with its low-fi, foreign origins (the film is Indonesian), give The Raid 2 an honest-to-goodness grindhouse feeling. This is the kind of film that would play better at a drive-in movie theater, or consumed surreptitiously en masse at a pizza-fueled sleepover after your parents have gone to bed.
But is the gore and violence enough to sustain it? Sadly, I don't think so. Ultimately, this film collapses under its own weight, offering far too much for the average constitution to handle. The Raid 2 runs way, way too long at a bloated 150 minutes, allowing for extraneous plot threads to enter, stretch their arms, sit around for a while, and leave at a leisurely pace. The film is peppered with pusillanimous and bizarre ancillary characters, a too-long setup, and too much delay before the amazing climax. By the time the final fight begins, most exploitation movies would have been over for 35 minutes.
To catch up: The first The Raid was a closed-box thriller wherein a group of cops fought their way upward through a tower of bad guys to slay a crime master sitting at the top. The premise sounded like a video game at the time, but by all accounts its simplicity worked in its favor. Rama (Iko Uwias) was the central survivor from that film, and, at the outset of the sequel, is tapped to engage in a years-long undercover operation to take down yet another crime lord. He spends several years in prison as part of his cover, and befriends the crime boss' son, mostly dramatized through an extended, face-smashing mud-pit brawl. Once on the outside, Rama finds that the crime boss' connections are more extensive and more wicked than he could have imagined. After a visit to an illegal porn ring, strip searches, car chases, hooker parties, corrupt cops, a pair of video-game escapees who kill people with baseballs and hammers (and you're gonna love those two), and a completely useless subplot about an aged assassin trying to make good with his kid (this plot never directly effect's Rama's plotline), we finally get to the final fight, wherein Rama has to fight his way through an entire building of toughs.
But by then, you've been crushed into your seat by the extensive exposition and complex plot that seems more and more haphazardly unbound as the film progresses. This is a ludicrously inefficient way to stage an action movie. Action movies need to be tight, taut, lithe. The Raid 2 is loose, unorganized, and top-heavy. What's more, it's unbelievably downbeat, smeared with epic emotional pretension and brooding, teary tragedy that betrays any fun you might have. It's hard to be thrilled when your movie is such a downer.
But if you can shake off the darkness, and wait through the bulk of the film, you'll find a level of glorious action overkill that we've been deprived of. For many, the action will be enough. I would have appreciated The Raid 2 more if it had actually worked as a whole movie.
thanks for the great review!
The first Raid is an AMAZING action flick. Its a next-level genre-defining movie in the vein of the early work of John Woo and the wonderful martial arts works of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yuen, Tony Jaa, etc. Ive been giddy waiting for the sequel and your review only up's my giddyness.
Peace .n. Action Flix!
3ToF, facing off against a zillion thugs in an apartment building.
So it sounds like they ramped up both the action and incomprehesable/unnecessary plots in equal parts.
There were two things I didn't like about The Raid. 1) no one knew how to pick up a weapon. There were several scenes where Rama was completely unarmed but surrounded by weapons and instead just walked away. Ultimately forgivable but also incredibly stupid. 2) nothing about the "plot twist" made any sense. So much so that my stomach felt sick with a mix of confusion and anger. Yes I know it's an action movie and I can appreciate the hell out of the incredible choreography and cinametography, but just because it's an action movie doesn't mean the story gets a free pass.
Still looking forward to seeing this one.
There was one moment of stupidity in Raid 2 where he throws empty water bottles at the bad guys. These are light and no way can harm you if you get hit by them. Yet the bad guys act like they were clobbered by bricks or something.

The LED TVs are LCD TVs in that they contain liquid crystal displays, the difference between the two is the way the display screen is lighted. Typical LCD models use fluorescent cathode tubes for lighting, whereas LED models use light emitting diodes. There are variances in the LED lighting design. Some are manufactured with RGB or white backlighting, and some are made with white LED lights around the periphery of the screen and contain a light diffusion panel that spreads the light across the back of the screen.
What is the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz televisions? We see them in stores and we see the price differences and we hear what we think is the truth: that 120 Hz is better than 60 Hz. But is it really? And if it is, why is it better? Well, look no further, I'm about to enlighten your curiosity and help you get a better deal.
CRT, LCD, LED, and now OLED. The jargon changes but the trend stays the same: technology is improving. Display technology has made leaps and bounds in the past decade, providing us with better and cheaper televisions. But there is nothing simple about the technology behind them. It also causes confusion when trying to determine which technology is best for the consumer. OLED seems to be the hottest term being tossed around in the TV industry, so let's take a closer look at it.
What is OLED?
Sony has been on a roll with new television releases; in fact, the NX810 series is Sony's fourth series that offers 3D support. This one promises to impress while not demolishing bank accounts. But can it live up to the hype that Sony's more classy brethren have provided? We're about to find out.
If you are looking to invest in an LED TV this year that can provide the penultimate home-theater experience, Samsung just might have you covered. It supports 3D for eye-popping effects, has a 240Hz display that runs as smooth as butter, keeps you from getting in trouble with the MPAA with Netflix support, lets you Tweet to the world from the comfort of your living-room recliner, and features a mammoth 65-inch display. It is the Samsung UN65C8000.
How's this for news: roughly 50 percent of all LCD TVs this year will ship with LED (light-emitting diodes) backlighting (qualifying them for the LED TV jargon). It's amazing because the year prior had LED penetration for LCD backlighting at 20 percent.
According to iSuppli's research LED TV purchases have surged over the past few years. This has caused the market to consider its options in the LCD vs LED debate. LED, clearly, has a case to be made.
LEDs Are Selling
As mentioned earlier, nearly 50 percent of all televisions will be working with LEDs inside of them.
Is 42 inches just not cutting it for you? Well, if not, LG might have just what the doctor ordered: take a dose of LG's 72LEX9, a 72-inch LED television. Yes, we did say 72 inches! But this isn't merely one of those televisions you hear about but will never see — this thing will be shipping around the world. Indeed, the theater's worst enemy has arrived.
Google is well known for getting their feet wet in just about every industry we can think about, so it should shock no one that Google wants to be part of the TV industry as well. Google set out to create an entertainment experience that would rival what any typical DVR could offer. And now Google has morphed Android into an entertainment experience that will change the way we look at our TVs and think about multimedia content.
What Is Google TV?
Enter the third dimension, where two-dimensional pictures of old become eye-popping experiences of new. The technology is is in its infancy, but its impacts for an industry seeking innovation couldn't be higher. Still, one huge limitation of 3D content is the requirement of odd looking and expensively priced 3D glasses. But what if that was no longer an issue?
Plasma televisions have been on the decline for the past few years, especially with the likes of cheaper LCD televisions. But things might be changing. Plasma displays have had a very impressive comeback in 2010, and it must raise the question of whether or not the old dog has some tricks up its sleeve.

Q. Can an applicant complete an electronic application?
A. The intent of an application is to allow an applicant to disclose how many members in the household, student status and all sources of income and assets so that onsite staff knows what to verify to establish eligibility. The application must be completed by the applicant. Many owners are looking into having applications completed electronically. An electronic application can be used; however, it is important, as with any type of application, that onsite staff cannot alter the form once completed by the applicant. It will be the owner's responsibility to maintain documentation to evidence that the process is secure and that at no point during the process can staff change the application. (Top)
Q. How do I calculate the annual income
of an applicant/resident?
A. Our housing programs use the rules for calculating annual
income set-forth in Chapter 5 of the HUD Handbook 4350.3: Occupancy
Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs. To obtain
a copy of the Handbook, contact HUDCLIPS on the web http://www.hudclips.org
or by phone 1-800-767-7468. (Top)
Q. How do I calculate the cash value
of an asset?
A. The cash value of an asset is the market value minus reasonable
costs that would be incurred in selling or converting the asset
to cash. The reasonable costs that may be deducted include: (1)
penalties for withdrawing funds before maturity, (2) broker/legal
fees assessed to sell or convert the asset to cash, (3) settlement
costs for real estate transaction, and (4) loans on the asset. (Top)
Q. How do I know if an asset was disposed
of for less than market value?
A. Screen the applicant/resident for assets disposed of for
at least $1000 less than market value. (Top)
Q. Can a live-in aid be a relative?
A. A live-in aid is a person who lives with an elderly, disabled
or handicapped individual(s) and is essential to that individuals
care and well-being, not obligated for the individuals support
and would not be living in the unit except to provide the support
services. A relative may be considered a live-in aid if the individual
meets all of the above requirements, especially the last. (Top)
Q. Is child support counted as income?
A. Child support payments must be included when determining
household eligibility. If a household does not receive the court
ordered child support that they are entitled to, the amount must
still be included, unless two requirements are met: 1) The household
certifies that the support is not being received. AND 2) The household
provides documentation that reasonable efforts to collect the support
have been made, including filing with courts or agencies responsible
for enforcing payments. (Top)
Q. May I use check stubs as income verification?
A. Yes. Remember that you must use a consistent method for annualizing
income from check stubs. (Top)
Q. How do I verify self-employment income
if the resident/applicant only recently entered self-employment?
A. As a case of last resort, the resident/applicant may complete
a self-affidavit estimating income for the upcoming twelve months. (Top)
Q. How do I obtain a utility allowance
A. The Public Housing Authority (PHA) serving the area
where your property is located or the local utility provider can
a utility allowance. Consult the compliance monitoring rules Section 10.614 (on the Secretary of State Web site)
to determine which source is right for
your property. A listing of Public
Housing Authorities in Texas is also available from the Housing
Resource Center. Please visit the Utility Allowance page for addition information. (Top)
Q. How do I determine the cash vale of a whole or universal
life insurance policy?
A. The cash value is the surrender value of the
policy. This information is available in the policy or from the
insurance company. (Top)
Q.Do existing households that transfer to another unit at the property need to be provided the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide?
No. Only households that move in on or after January 8, 2015 must be provided the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide (DOC) and are required to sign the Acknowledgement of Receipt (PDF). Although it is not a requirement to provide the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide to households that transfer, properties are encouraged to so. (Top)
Q. If a household member is added to an existing household, does the new household member need to be provided the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide?
A. If the person joining the household is considered an adult (and would be signing the Income Certification), then yes, that person must be provided the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide (DOC) and must sign the Acknowledgement of Receipt (PDF). Remember, for most programs, when an adult joins an existing low-income household, you will be screening that person for income and assets, verifying and adding that information to the existing Income Certification form. During this process, but no later than when the new member actually moves into the unit, they should be given the Tenant Rights and Resources Guide.
Q. Can the Unit Status Report (USR) be made available in Excel?
A. YES. CMTS has been enhanced to allow for you to view your USR in PDF and Excel. This feature is already available.
Compliance Monitoring Physical Inspections
Q. What is a UPCS inspection?
A. The Uniform Physical Condition Standard (UPCS) inspection protocol was developed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) to ensure that housing is "decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair". REAC conducts approximately 20,000 annual inspections of rental housing that is owned, insured or subsidized by HUD using the UPCS inspection protocol. Visit our listing of related Web sites regarding the inspection process. (Top)
Q. Why does the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs use UPCS?
A. The Internal Revenue Service requires housing agencies to use local health, safety, and building codes or the UPCS to assess the physical condition of Housing Tax Credit developments. In Texas, building codes can vary from city to city and many areas do not have code enforcement at all. To ensure a uniform inspection standard is used state wide, the Department has adopted the UPCS for all programs we administer. (Top)
Q. Who performs the inspections?
A. The Department's Compliance Monitoring Physical Inspections (CMPI) staff will be conducting most of the inspections scheduled. The CMPI staff will perform a range of inspections including UPCS onsite assessments, construction inspections and reviews, and verification of construction and rehabilitation standards of single family structures financed through the HOME program. CMPI staff also supervises and evaluates inspections of our contractors and field inspectors.
Inspectors from On-site Insight and The Inspection Group (Department Contractors) are HUD certified with broad experience in conducting UPCS inspections. Many inspectors live in Texas and all are under the supervision of the contractor's staff. Each contracted inspection firm was selected through a competitive bidding process.
Additionally, in certain circumstances, the Department's Compliance Monitor(s) performing an onsite file review will conduct the physical inspection for a development. (Top)
Q. Who are On-site Insight and The Inspection Group?
A. On-site Insight is a subsidiary of RECAP Real Estate Advisors, a multidisciplinary consulting firm specializing in asset management, physical inspections and capital needs assessments of multifamily, institutional and commercial real estate.
The Inspection Group was founded in 1998 with the objective of providing various building inspection related services. They have inspected over 100,000 units for more than 185 customers. All inspectors have been certified by HUD/REAC. The Inspection Group, Inc., has been putting to use its experience of performing thousands of HUD REAC protocol inspections nationwide, UPCS training, REAC report reviews and score appeals; advising in preparation for REAC inspections; installing new UPCS inspection systems, including software. (Top)
Q. How does the UPCS differ from individual city and/or HUD Housing Quality Standard inspections made at my development?
A. UPCS is generally more detailed and thorough than HQS and most city inspections. The UPCS is designed to be more objective than the HQS protocol. UPCS follows Federal requirements at 24CFR 5.703 and addresses a multitude of inspectable items in five major areas: Site, building exteriors, building systems, common areas and dwelling units, . The Dictionary of Deficiency Definitions (see website listing) is a 325 page listing of each inspectable item with a description of the factors that dictate the level of deficiency. HQS does not address the number of inspectable items that the UPCS include and is not as objective when identifying deficiencies. (Top)
Q. How does the inspector know what to look for?
A. Inspectors have been professionally trained to identify deficiencies based on the UPCS. Additionally, the UPCS inspection is software based. The inspector will generally have a laptop or hand held computer with the UPCS software. The software lists the various inspection items by the five inspectable areas in detail. The inspector notes deficiencies found and assigns a severity level to each deficiency noted during the inspection. (Top)
Q. When will the Physical Inspection be performed?
A. Usually within 60 days of the Department's on site review. In some cases, such as in rural areas, the delay may be longer. (Top)
Q. What should I expect when the physical inspection is scheduled?
A. The inspector should provide adequate notice to the on site manager and staff to allow them to send a notice to the tenants that their unit may be selected for inspection. When the inspector arrives he or she will have a list of the units to be inspected; the site manager will be asked to pull the keys for the units listed. It is recommended that keys for a few extra units be pulled in case a unit on the list cannot be entered. A development staff member is required to accompany the inspector at all times and must enter each dwelling unit with the inspector. The inspector will look at each building on the development and at each unit on the list. (Top)
Q. Can deficiencies be repaired while the inspector is on site?
A. Yes. The inspector will allow reasonable correction of Exigent and Fire Safety Hazards (commonly known as EH&S) during the inspection--for example, if a tenant has disabled a smoke detector, site staff may repair or replace the smoke detector while the inspector is in the unit if time allows. The deficiency will be recorded and noted as corrected. There is usually not sufficient time for more extensive corrections during an inspection. (Top)
Q. What deficiencies are commonly seen?
. Exigent and Fire Safety deficiencies most commonly cited are missing covers or plates in electrical boxes that expose live wires and blocked egress (furniture blocking windows in bedrooms). Other issues reported are entrance door seals damaged, bathroom basin problems (usually stoppers or pop-ups not working or missing), missing splash blocks at gutter downspouts, and damaged or torn refrigerator door gaskets. (Top)
Q. How is the inspection score for the Development, as reported on the cover of the Physical Assessment Report, calculated?
A. A combination of many factors is used by the software to calculate the final score. A complete discussion is on the HUD website listed in the useful websites. (Top)
Q. If I have deficiencies reported on the Exigent and Fire Safety Hazards Observed form, what is the next step?
A. The inspector will complete a Notification of Exigent and Fire Safety Hazards Observed form at the conclusion of the inspection with a copy presented to the owner's onsite representative. Development staff must correct the deficiency in 24 hours and notify the Department of the correction within 72 hours (3 work days) of notice. A Certification of Correction Form will be left on site to report corrections and is included in the Forms section of the PMC Web site. Submission of the Certification of Correction may be by fax or email and should be addressed to the Department's inspector or as directed on the Certification of Correction Form.
Q. How do I receive the inspection report and what should I do?
A. A letter to the owner contact listed in the Compliance Monitoring and Tracking System (CMTS) will be mailed with a copy of the report. A copy of the letter and the List of Deficiencies section of the report is mailed to the onsite staff and to the management company listed in CMTS. The letter will state whether or not the physical inspection resulted in any findings, the ending date of the corrective action period, and information on how to report corrections. Remember, all deficiencies must be corrected. (Top)
Q. For a tax credit development, if all deficiencies reported are corrected, will a finding still be reported to the IRS on Form 8823?
A. At the conclusion of the corrective action period, the Department will issue Forms 8823 for each building with a deficiency. The IRS requires all deficiencies to be reported, whether or not corrected (see the IRS 8823 Guide). The finding on the IRS Form 8823 is: "Violation(s) of the UPCS or local inspection standards". If all deficiencies reported for a particular building are reported corrected during the corrective action period, the Form 8823 will be marked "out of compliance" and "noncompliance corrected". If not all deficiencies are corrected the Form 8823 will be submitted as "out of compliance". When documentation of corrections is received for buildings reported out of compliance, additional Forms 8823 will be sent to the IRS reporting the correction(s). (Top)
Q. What does the IRS do when noncompliance is reported?
A. The Department has no information as to how the IRS will treat the report of noncompliance once received. (Top)

Direction and screenplay: John Cassavetes
Cast: Gena Rowlands, Peter Falk, Fred Draper, Lady Rowlands, Katherine Cassavetes, Eddie Shaw
Peter Falk, Gena Rowlands, A Woman Under the Influence
Steven Spielberg is a respected film director. Many will even call him an auteur. When you watch a Spielberg film, you know it's a Spielberg film – or at least one made by his myriad imitators. John Cassavetes is a respected film director. No one will deny the fact that Cassavetes is a film auteur. When you watch a Cassavetes film, you know it's a Cassavetes film – or at least a Henry Jaglom imitation of a Cassavetes film.
Now, apart from self-important works like Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, it is still acceptable to dismiss Spielberg's films and even Spielberg himself. On the other hand, if you want to be taken seriously as an intellectual film connoisseur, it is totally unacceptable to dismiss Cassavetes' films or his talent as an artist. Why the double standard?
Well, that's quite simple. Spielberg is the personification of expensive, slick, mainstream Hollywood. Cassavetes, on the other hand, is the personification of cheap, raw, independent filmmaking. A true artist must a least give the impression of being poor, honest, and an outsider.
Thus, Cassavetes films such as A Woman Under the Influence – aka "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Wife" – are hailed as masterpieces despite their self-indulgence, their superficiality, and, gasp, their blatant artificiality. For Cassavetes' search for the truth in his films is marred by the director-writer's passion for his own brilliance. Scenes linger on for hours (or it seems like they do), while mindless, meaningless dialogue is talked, yelled, and screamed nonstop, back and forth, for no apparent reason – except, perhaps, to hide the fact that those people don't have anything of interest to say. The result is a series of films whose rawness feels as calculated and phony as the gooey sentimentality found in Amistad or The Color Purple.
In A Woman Under the Influence, we have a film about insanity in which every single character should be committed to a mental institution for life. Perhaps that is Cassavetes' point: we are all totally nuts. Be that as it may, that approach evokes little sympathy for Mabel Longhetti, the bizarre housewife played by the filmmaker's real-life wife, Gena Rowlands.
As her marriage flounders, we are supposed to witness poor, lonely Mabel disintegrate before our eyes. But what I saw instead was a woman already pretty crazy to begin with – what with assorted ticks, off-the-cuff trips to sleazy bars, and, craziest of all, an inexplicable marriage to the brutish, obnoxious Nick (Peter Falk), a construction worker who spends too many nights repairing burst water pipes to keep her company.

Current Time
New York City hotels
New York's hotel scene leaves travelers as spoiled for choice as they are in every other aspect of life here. The myriad hotel options range from super-swank to shoebox, and everything in between. While key luxury markers like service, amenities, and views are world-class, sleeping in the city that never sleeps also involves curbing your expectations, at least when it comes to size: At 325 square feet, the average New York hotel room is substantially smaller than what you'll find in other cities.
Manhattan hotels tend to fall into two different camps. In one corner, there are the establishment, Louis XVI-furniture-and-gilt joints on which this city built its reputation—the Peninsula, the Plaza, the St. Regis. In the other is the new guard: intimate, clubby hideaways like the Gramercy Park Hotel and the Library Hotel.
Lodging in New York may be notoriously hard on the hip pocket (the average hotel-room price is $320, but good luck getting that), yet there still are bargains out there, like Greenwich Village's Abingdon Guest House. Fancy more of the pied-è-terre experience? Urban Living (www.urbanliving-ny.com), an agency that specializes in vacation rentals in New York City, can set you up in a furnished one-bedroom apartment in Chelsea for around $240 a night.
Manhattan is very much a series of villages, with scenes to match: The higher-end, more traditional hotels tend to be clustered around Midtown and Central Park, while below 14th Street you'll find more fashion-forward accommodation. If you plan to spend every night dive-hopping downtown, opt for a buzzy newcomer like the Crosby Street Hotel, or Bowery Hotel. If high-end shopping and Broadway shows are your scene, stick to Midtown. But don't let ZIP code be your only guiding principle: Manhattan is compact, eminently walkable, and stocked with enough cabs to make location a minor concern.

Harbaugh: Ravens Didn't Have 'A-game' Vs Chiefs
Posted By Sports Talk Florida On October 9, 2012 @ 1:06 PM In NFL | No Comments
[1]OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore is winning and leading the AFC North, coach John Harbaugh just isn't happy how the Ravens got it done on Sunday.
Ravens' receivers dropped five passes and couldn't separate from defenders even though Baltimore escaped Kansas City with a 9-6 victory. Baltimore's defense allowed the Chiefs to grind out 214 rushing yards, but it was the offense's inability to establish a rhythm that ultimately irked Harbaugh.
Harbaugh and the Ravens (4-1) host the Dallas Cowboys (2-2) on Sunday.
The Ravens had a tough time sustaining drives against a stingy Kansas City defense. Baltimore's offense entered Sunday averaging 424 total yards, but only managed 298 against the Chiefs.
Baltimore only converted three of 11 third-down opportunities.
Despite the lackluster performance, the Ravens were able to do enough to get a win.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recognizes the abuse of prescription drugs as a serious and growing health problem. In response to the problem, the DEA has launched investigations on many physicians throughout New York and New York City for straying from DEA prescription guidelines, particularly the over-prescription of opiates/opioid analgesics (pain killers) and the under-treatment of pain.
The DEA has specified that physicians may prescribe controlled substances only for legitimate medical purposes in the usual course of professional practice of medicine. However, the DEA did not specify what actions constitute legitimate medical purposes in the usual course of profession practice of medicine, which may allow legal authorities to conduct a myriad of investigations on physicians for illegitimately prescribing controlled substances.
For Example:
Although it is legal for physicians to prescribe controlled substances to themselves, physicians have to be aware that proper documentation is made afterwards. If not, the DEA may consider the undocumented dispensing of drugs to be a violation of the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) and an illegitimate medical purpose.
The DEA has federal authority to handle the case administratively, which gives them the ability to institute administrative proceeding that could result in fines or the loss of DEA registration. Depending on the case, DEA regulations may also allow for administrative seizure or forfeiture of property.
Once the DEA establishes a case, they may refer it to New York federal or state prosecutor's office to handle the case criminally, or the New York State Board of Medical Examiners for licensure issues.
What can I do to prevent further investigation?
Prevention is usually the best way to go. At the beginning of a fraud investigation, it is best to seek an experienced defense counsel for a consultation before talking to an investigator.
If you have recently been contacted by the DEA in New York New York City for controlled substance violation, then call our New York City criminal lawyers at (212) 227 0860 to get professional legal assistance.

There has been a lot of discussion since the ban on plastic shopping bags here in the Outer Banks. Many local businesses are claiming it is necessary to have plastic bags and they encourage the use of recycling those bags to their customers. Others believe this is a necessary step in protecting the natural environment here in the OBX, extending to our ocean, wildlife and reduced pollution.
But what do you think? Students from the Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort are conducting an online survey on how citizens feel about the plastic bag ban in coastal counties. The Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce reports that the survey is part of a larger project researching environmental management.
Results of the survey will be published in a report, available on the Duke University website, but individual responses will not be published, the chamber said.
The bag ban went into effect in coastal areas of Dare, Currituck and Hyde counties in 2009 for larger retailers. It was expanded last year to include all retailers. This year a group of Republican lawmakers filed a bill to repeal the ban, claiming it has increased the use of paper bags which have their own effect on the environment, rather than encouraging the use of recyclable bags.
If you would like to give your opinion on the plastic bag ban, the survey can be found here.

Hello, I'm Idhrendur. I write save game converters. I think it'd be fun to use them myself. So I'm going to start a new Byzantine megacampaign.
During the CK2 era, I will be attempting to roleplay the rulers. My overarching goal in this era is to restore the Roman Empire, but progress towards that goal is going to depend on the personalities of the various Emperors. Mending the great schism will also depend on the personalities of any emperors with opportunity to do so. There will be favoritism towards greek rulers. That one's mostly some long-term meta-gaming, though it seems reasonable enough to me that an emperor would deal better with subordinates who shared a primary language.
Updates will be according to my own whims of timing, and I reserve the right to completely lose motivation at some point. Feel free to recommend improvements to my writing and/or gameplay. I'm not terribly great at either.

Walt's Best Cold & Flu Remedies
by Walt Gray
posted Jan 23 2013 12:46PM
Wanted to share a few of my tips, in case they can help you. As someone who had to anchor 4 1/2 hour TV newscasts with a cough that wouldn't quit, I've had to get creative (pretty distracting for viewers to watch a news anchor gasping for air). These remedies were compiled through my years of reporting on health issues, and visits with Sacramento are doctors and allergists.
At the onset of a cold; scratchy or sore throat:
- gargle with warm water and salt.
- visit "Harry's Cafe" at 2026 16th St for their "Cold and Flu soup". Chicken, hot pepper and ginger. Awesome! (it could stop your cold before it hits a high gear)
For a cough that won't quite: Mucinex DM; controls cough and helps break it up.
Warm or cool mist humdifier at night (keeps your throat/air passage moist to reduce aggravating the cough)
Vicks vapo-rub on chest... pull your shirt up over your head to breathe in the vicks vapor from your chest.
Benedryl (or generic) to help you sleep and keep the nasal drainage from going into your lungs.
Don't drink cold fluids. It constricts your air passage. Room temperature water or herbal mint tea is good.
You may also ask your doc to prescribe the cough pill "Benzonatate" which dulls the cough reflex.
Also get tested for allergies if you have a cough that lasts for weeks during certain times of the year.
Recent studies by the National Chest Foundation have shown that cough medicines are of no help. There were many times in the winter where i was throwing "all of the above" at my cough. In my case...having exhausted many of the above remedies, i was tested for allergies (none) and prescribed Prednisone as a last resort for a cough that lasted for weeks with no way of stopping it. I have had great success with it, but use it as little as possible.
I did get a flu shot this year. I didn't last year.
Kat says when you have a stuffy nose, just blow one nostril at a time...and gently!!
Those are my cold and flu season suggestions. What are yours??? -Walt

Walt's mis-informed, irresponsible wives tales
Walt, Cold & flu suggestions should come from a doctor, not from your "experiences". You know that there can be serious side effects and every individual's specific health condition needs to be considered before taking medications. Even though you made the disclaimer, "as a last resort", your suggestion to take prednisone is wreckless & conceited. People do get their hands on drugs that are not prescribed. Shame on you. By the way, you should change the name of your show to the Gray/Kat show. She is at least as entertaining as you. Steve
You freakin clueless idiot, Walt. Still recommending prednisone. Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Stating that you are not a doctor does not excuse your recommending a dangerous drug. Ask a doctor about a stupid lay person making the recommendation onthe radio. You idiot.

Try Lemon-ginger tea by STASH- its very soothing!
Walt- loved your tips- they are useful. Might add to get lots of extra sleep and drink Lemon-Ginger tea by Stash. I love the stuff all through winter- its caffeine free.

How many times will car companies partner with luxury watch brands to create some good old fashioned "synergy"? Really, does it get any more authentic than when one publicly traded company pays another multi-national corporation to create a product about which they have little to no knowledge?
We won't run through the failed partnerships, but let's just say that if you drive a really nice car, you know enough to want a really nice watch. Usually, the products of these partnerships are indeed "nice watches", mechanically speaking, but there is something just a bit cheesy about wearing a timepiece with the branding of anything but a timepiece on the dial, especially if you paid over $5000 for it.
That's why (and you won't hear this often from us) we really like the quartz watch to the right. It's a BMW-branded chronograph made by Tourneau. You know why we like it? Not because it's affiliated with BMW or Tourneau, but rather because it only costs $225. This is a watch for a guy who LOVES BMW but may not be able to afford one, or a guy who loves BMW and simply doesn't care about watches (gasp! yes we are aware that those people do exist).
This watch is perfectly fine at $225 and isn't trying to capitalize on any cross-promotional jibber-jabber. Would the owner of an Alpina B7 buy this watch? Probably not, but if BMW had chosen to work with say Jaeger-LeCoultre or IWC, he wouldn't have bought that watch either.
This watch is simply a lifestyle extension of the BMW brand, and that's fine, because it's not a lot of money. For more details on BMW's line of wristwatches made by Tourneau, click here.
(Thanks Josh!)

Traditional recipes, compounds or formulations are based on the notion of an ideal, targeted proportion for each component. Ingredient costs are readily computed and do not vary unless material prices change. However, as a practical matter, part of recipe specification must include tolerance values for each ingredient. Based on relevant measures of product quality, attributes and characteristics, the ingredient tolerances processors specify for their recipes define the boundary between an acceptable formulation and an unacceptable one.
In contrast, a tolerance-based formulation replaces the idea of a single, targeted proportion for each ingredient with an allowed range of proportions defined by established minimum and maximum tolerance limits. With the flexibility to operate anywhere within the tolerance range, recipe cost is transformed from a fixed result to a controllable variable. The processor becomes free to adopt a strategy of recipe cost minimization where the proportions of expensive ingredients are minimized and less costly ingredients maximized within tolerance limits. Depending on the specifics of the application, savings are readily available and can be substantial.
The Tactics of Tolerance
In extrusion processes where continuous feeders formulate the recipe, feeding performance becomes the primary means by which savings may be captured. More accurate feeding permits operation safely closer to tolerance boundaries, enabling further minimization of expensive ingredients and maximization of less costly formulation components. Similarly, in batching operations the accuracy of the weighing system (i.e. scale, weigh-hopper, etc.) dictates how much of the potential savings can be realized.
Computing the cost-minimized solution to existing target-based recipes is straightforward:
Step 1: Assemble Input Data
Computing the cost-minimized solution for extrusion processes requires minimum and maximum tolerances and total recipe rate, as well as unit cost and feeder repeatability performance for each ingredient. (For batch operations use weigh scale accuracy instead of feeder repeatability.)
Step 2: Rank Ingredients by Unit Cost
Ingredients are assigned an ordinal ranking based on decreasing unit cost (e.g., $/lb) with '1' being the most expensive ingredient, '2' being the next most expensive, and so on.
Step 3: Calculate Operating Proportion Limits
Based on feeder performance and ingredient tolerances, calculate the minimum and maximum allowable operating proportions for each ingredient, defining the range of setpoints over which each ingredient feeder may operate.
Step 4: Temporarily Maximize All Operating Proportions
Then, as a starting point, temporarily assign all operating proportions to the maximum values calculated in Step 3, resulting in a total recipe percentage greater than 100%.
Step 5: Minimize Operating Proportions by Cost Rank
Beginning with the most expensive ingredient (Rank 1), replace its maximum operating proportion with its minimum operating proportion. If total recipe percentage remains above 100%, repeat the process using the next most expensive ingredient (Rank 2) and so on until total recipe percentage falls below 100%.
Step 6: Restore Residual Deficit
The ingredient that causes total recipe percentage to fall below 100% cannot be minimized. To restore total recipe percentage to the required 100%, the deficit is simply added to that ingredient's minimum operating proportion. (A cost-minimized recipe will always contain, at most, one ingredient that remains neither minimized nor maximized, but lies somewhere within its allowable operating range.) The recipe is now cost-minimized.
See the accompanying illustration entitled The Tolerance Model Applied for a numerical example.
Factors Affecting Calculated Savings
The potential for recipe cost minimization is influenced by several factors:
Ingredient Cost Differentials
Large differences in unit cost increase savings potential, and savings diminish where differentials are small.
Tolerance Range
Broad tolerances produce correspondingly larger savings potential since there is more opportunity to replace relatively expensive ingredients with less costly ones. Likewise, highly restrictive tolerances lower cost savings possibilities.
Total Throughput
Since total savings are directly proportional to throughput, even modest differences in savings rates can be a significant factor in the light of total dollar savings.
Feeder Accuracy
While the above factors combine to determine savings potential, feeder accuracy is the only tool the processor has at his disposal to exploit that potential. For any given recipe, regardless of cost, tolerance, or throughput, improved feeding accuracy always results in incremental savings in tolerance-based recipe optimization.
Variations on the Theme
For applications where ingredient tolerance values have not been pre-specified on the basis of product attributes, or that require one or more critical ingredients to be maintained at a specific proportion, the following variations address such needs.
Optimization Using Inferred Tolerances
Applications lacking pre-established tolerance values offer no savings potential because this cost-minimization technique requires a defined tolerance range within which an ingredient's operating proportion may vary. However, it is possible to compute the savings associated with improved feeding performance simply by combining tolerance limits inferred from current feeder performance with any arbitrary level of enhanced feeder performance.
Partial Recipe Optimization
Other applications may require that the proportion of one or more ingredients be maintained at a closely controlled level (within limits of feeder performance), while other ingredients may vary within specified limits broader than those achieved by the feeder. Partial recipe optimization is achieved by combining the use of the method's standard calculation procedure along with the inferred tolerance technique described above. Critical ingredients whose operating proportions must not vary are selectively excluded from the solution by the application of the inferred tolerance technique, while remaining ingredients with their broader tolerance limits remain free to contribute to the cost-minimized solution.

The problem is, I can't see the time in full-screen mode.

Melissa: Wait wait wait. Stop stop stop!
Okay, go ahead. You were saying, "The time is not—"
Michael: Well, can you remind me what's been said?
Did you say you couldn't see the time, and I said it doesn't matter?

Michael: "The time does not—"
Melissa: No! "The time is not—"
Michael: Oh. "The time does not—"
Melissa: No! "The time is not—"
Michael: "The time is not—"
Melissa: You were probably going to say, "The time is not important."
Michael: Yes! The time is not important.
Melissa: (pause)
I got the time. It's 10:45 pm.
Michael: Now put right there, "(long pause)".
Melissa: It was not a long pause.
Michael: Yes, put "(long pause)".
Melissa: It was not long.
Michael: Okay, put "beat" then.
Melissa: That's "pause."
Now I can go back into full-screen mode.
How do I do that again?
Michael: Do it through the menu.
View. Um.
Enter Full Screen mode.
Melissa: And that's Option?
Michael: Write "That's a good title."
Melissa: (types "Okay, now I gotta do it.")
(typing "That's a good title.")
Michael: No! Say, "That's a good title"!
Melissa: I am.
Michael: I'm sorry to bring this up again—
Melissa: (groans)
Michael: And I suppose it's getting old.
And we don't do those.
It doesn't work for me.
Your grunts and groans have got to go.
Don't write that.
Melissa: I need to. It's my response to what you said.
Michael: But I didn't say it like that. I said it like whatever makes the exclamation point the exclamation point. Shouting, or surprise!
Didn't I say "Like"?
Melissa: Uh-uh.
Michael: Write "Uh-uh." You said it like "uh-uh."
Melissa: Actually, it's kind of like "uhn-uhn."
Michael: Don't do that please.
Melissa: Okay.
Michael: That needs an exclamation point.
Melissa: No, you didn't say it with one!
Michael: There you go, because it can't have one.
Melissa: I need my water.
Michael: So I realized we had strayed from our original idea.
Melissa: Which was?
Michael: Writing about—
Melissa: Aaaaggghhhh!
Michael: Listen!
No exclamation point!!!
No, my God!
You're killing me!
(long pause)
Maybe I should say, "Okay, 'cuz."
No, just leave it as "'kay" because that's what I actually said.
Have we already used "Okay 'cuz?"
Melissa: No.
Michael: Now you have to put what I just said.
Melissa: I'm gonna get carpel tunnel syndrome.
Michael: Uh-oh.
Looking forward to reading more of your work, and we hope you enjoy the ride!

Taboon bread, main component of musakhan | |
Type | Flatbread wrap |
Taboon bread (Arabic: خبز طابون: bread of the taboon, Hebrew: לאפה: la-fah, Hebrew: פיתה עירקית: Iraqi pita, in Jerusalem: Hebrew: אַשתנוּר ash-tanur) ) is a flatbread wrap used in many cuisines. It is traditionally baked in a taboon oven and eaten with different fillings.[1]
Taboon bread is sold as street food, stuffed with hummus, falafel or shaved meat.[2] Taboon bread is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine worldwide.[3] In Jerusalem and the northern West bank, taboon bread is the main component of musakhan, a dish of roasted chicken baked with onions, sumac, allspice, and saffron atop taboon bread.[citation needed]
Iraqi and Druze pita are made without commercial yeast; they are "soured" or fermented using wild yeast. Iraqi pita is similar in thickness to flour tortillas. Druze pita (also called sagg pita) is very thin and large. Both Iraqi and Druze pita are baked on a convex pan called a taboon, resembling an overturned wok.[4]
