Shirt Says "Support McMahon." Wearer Doesn't

Posted to: Campaign 2012
Natasha Parker made money Tuesday handing out flyers urging East Rockers at the polls to vote for Linda McMahon—even though she wasn't planning to do so herself.
Parker (pictured) was part of a paid army of African-American poll workers dispatched to urban polling districts across Connecticut by the U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Linda McMahon.
Their mission: To urge voters to split their tickets for McMahon and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Parker wore the group's uniform: a purple T-shirt pushing the Obama-McMahon ticket. She handed out a "sample ballot" instructing people to choose McMahon on the Independent Party line. Nowhere did the materials mention McMahon's Republican affiliation. Or the fact that she in fact supports Republican Mitt Romney for president.
Parker, who is 25 and lives on Goffe Street, said Linda McMahon's campaign is paying her to stand at the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. (She said she didn't know how much.)
However, Parker said, "that doesn't mean I have to vote for her."
Parker said she's definitely voting for Obama, and she's unsure about the U.S. Senate race. She said McMahon does not support the social services she relies on: "She's not for food stamps and stuff."
"I'm undecided," Parker said, "but Obama supports [Democrat Chris] Murphy. I think I might go for Murphy."
Parker was finding that the voters she encountered were equally unimpressed with the idea of voting for McMahon.
"Obama doesn't support Linda McMahon," some voters told her, Parker said. Her reply: "Well, she supports him." (She didn't know that McMahon actually supports Romney.)
Most East Rockers refused to take the pro-McMahon flyers, Parker reported.
"I'm getting a lot of people saying no. People don't like her." Parker said she had more luck earlier in the morning, when she stood at the Nathan Hale School in the East Shore.
At the Truman School in New Haven's Hill neighborhood, at least one African-American voter left the polls still confused by all the messages.
Asked whom she voted for, the voter, 49-year-old Rovella Weeks, stammered, jumbling up McMahon's and Murphy's names.
"Linda McMahon," she finally said, then corrected herself. "Chris Murphy!"
"She [McMahon] confused me when she said, 'I'm down with Obama,'" Weeks said. "This is the worst election for craziness."
She said she just ignored all the attack ads and voted for the party: Democratic all the way across. "I blocked them all out."
Asked to described McMahon, Weeks said, "Very cunning." McMahon had "slick" ads, she said. "She's a smart lady."
Asked to describe Murphy, Weeks said only, "He's Democratic."
The scene at New Haven's polls was mirrored in other cities, where the McMahon camp hired African-Americans to wear the same purple "I Support McMahon & Obama" T-shirts and hand out leaflets making the pair appear to be running on a joint ticket. The tactic outraged the Service Employees International Union, which is working for Democrat Murphy. In a release, it claimed the McMahon camp stole the design in order to deceive voters.
"This is a cynical and phony attempt to further confuse voters. SEIU is well known around Connecticut, especially in the cities, for its member activists, always clad in their purple T-shirts," said SEIU CT State Council Director Paul Filson stated in the release. "SEIU has enthusiastically endorsed Chris Murphy and Barack Obama. I've received numerous calls telling me that they were initially confused by the McMahon T-shirts."
McMahon's campaign manager, Corry Bliss, defended the shirts in a conversation with the Independent.
"Thousands of Democrats across Connecticut are today are voting for Barack Obama and Linda McMahon. Those Democrats deserve to have their voice heard," Bliss said.
He was asked if the campaign deliberately designed the shirts to mirror the SEIU's.
"We designed the shirts to reflect the fact that there are thousands of Democrats across Connecticut who support Linda McMahon," Bliss said.

Murphy's Vote Is Turning Out
For Murphy's part, New Haven's vaunted Democratic vote-pulling operation appeared to be in gear Tuesday. It ramped up the number of registered voters to the highest level in town in decades in a late-campaign drive. And while polling places may be lacking the celebratory history-making air of 2008, the lines were long and early signs pointed to a turnout as large if not larger than last time.
Meanwhile, Murphy supporters aimed to respond to the McMahon Obama pitch with signs like the one pictured.
McMahon's split-the-ticket tactic prompted much debate at the polls and on Facebook, including this thread on the page belonging to Kevin Ewing of the West River neighborhood (excerpted here):
"Kevin C. Ewing: Spoke with a couple folks working the polls wearing Obama McMahon t shirts and passing out campaign cards. So I had to question them. McMahon is paying them $300 each to do it. 'Do you know who she is or what she thinks?' I asked. 'I know my rent is due and she offered me easy money,' they replied. 'I ain't mad at you,' I said.
"This is where we are, folks.
"Gary Doyens: It's just marketing. Those who get paid to help a candidate should do it altruistically? If they had a job, or really believed in the alternative to Linda McMahon, they might. In the meantime, it's a job and it pays the bills. That's more than they will have tomorrow. And by the way, Democrats are paying people too."
"William Kurtz: The problem is not paying people; it's trying to link her name to an expected Obama victory. But in the end, voter beware. It shouldn't fool anyone with a clue."
Voters lined up early and waited in line to cast ballots across New Haven. One voter showed up at 4:20 a.m., a full 100 minutes before the polls opened, at Jepson School in the Heights. A line was already forming by 5:40 a.m. at the Ellsworth Avenue polling place in the Edgewood neighborhood. In the hectic pre-work hours, voters reported waiting as long as an hour in lines with as many as 300 standees at Wilbur Cross High School in East Rock; as of 1:05 p.m., 1,121 people had voted in Ward 10 and 750 in Ward 9.
The line was still out the door at Edgewood School at 9 a.m. State Sen. Martin Looney (who is running unopposed for reelection) waited 45 minutes to cast his ballot at Nathan Hale School in Morris Cove.
Even after the morning rush, voters were still waiting a good half hour at Lincoln Bassett School in Newhallville. Same with Berger Apartments in West River, where the line was reported still out the door.
Energetic registration drives—by the Democratic Town Committee, by the state party campaign, by the Central Labor Council, by some Yalies—brought the number of eligible voters in New Haven above 71,000, more than 6,000 above the total registered in 2008. An estimated 7,000 to 8,000 of those new registrations occurred since early September.

Pretty much sums it up:
"Parker, who is 25 and lives on Goffe Street, said Linda McMahon's campaign is paying her to stand at the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. (She said she didn't know how much." "YOU TAKE A JOB AND DON"T ASK HOW MUCH YOU"RE GOING TO GET?
However, Parker said, "that doesn't mean I have to vote for her."Parker said she's definitely voting for Obama, and she's unsure about the U.S. Senate race. She said McMahon does not support the social services she relies on: "She's not for food stamps and stuff." FOOD STAMPS AND STUFF!

Sad state of affairs. This woman takes a job supporting someone who will end the programs she relies on, which is understandable I suppose if she needs the money badly enough….but then to be undecided about whom to vote for? That is just sad.
posted by: Bill Saunders on November 6, 2012 3:23pm
One of these young, black women came to my door last week, stumping for Linda.
"I hope she's paying you," I said.
"Yeah, it's a job,"she replied.
"You know that you are working against your own self interests?"
"Yeah, I know."
"Probably aren't going to have much luck in this neighborhood, " i said.
"I know," she said, "but it's a job.
Maybe this tactic is backfiring badly.
This is the first time I have ever had to wait on a line to vote in my ward..

Yes this is all very sad but not because of anything to do with Natasha Parker and her voting preferences, opinions, etc. She is probably just trying to make a buck. What is truly sad and not to be overlooked or brushed aside while getting side tracked criticizing Ms. Parker is this deliberate, demographically targeted, offensive and pathetic attempt at voter confusion by the McMahon campaign. Shame on them. This may be the most blatantly underhanded and despicable campaign tactic I have seen to date.
posted by: PH on November 6, 2012 3:46pm
McMahon is desperate and pathetic. This is a low level, even for a woman who encourages people to run around in tights and pretend to smash people over the heads with chairs.
posted by: FromTheHill on November 6, 2012 3:50pm
I am stunned…This is the strangest race i have ever seen. Linda McMahon wants it so bad she will stab her own party in the back and use poor people to help her then most likely forget about them on Nov 7. God help us if she gets in, what will become of this state. Chris Murphy's commercials are true. McMahon is in it for herself.
posted by: Bill Saunders on November 6, 2012 3:53pm
It's even more despicable than that…
Mcmahon endorses Obama, AND hires young black women to spread her urban myth of being pro-minority, pro-jobs, and pro woman.
Just plain gross.

Mimicking SEIU's purple t-shirts? Deliberately trying to confuse "low-information"
voters? Playing up fears of the voter fraud boogeyman?
Vile and crass… and ultimately a reminder of the true Linda McMahon.
posted by: streever on November 6, 2012 4:17pm
If this succeeds and McMahon wins, I think the real tragedy is that the Murphy campaign has not done a better job of running a campaign.
Who was in charge of his New Haven efforts? Who got the volunteers together?
posted by: JMS on November 6, 2012 4:23pm
What would happen if she actually won? The horror. Hopefully not. But if she did win does she think her party will play nice with her after this kind of stunt (does she even care)? Imagine how much more good she could have done for Connecticut if she had directed the over $100 million dollars she has thrown into these two campaigns towards something more productive and responsible. The irony is if she did that people might actually come to like her and… duh… vote for her. Money can't buy logic.
posted by: JMS on November 6, 2012 4:28pm
Thinking back over the last few months I have received quite a bit of Murphey campaign info by mail, phone and also some street canvasing… not to mention TV ads. Last night I caught a prime time TV endorsement from President Obama. So I think he is doing a pretty good job getting the word out. Still I imagine it's hard to match the campaign spending of the McMahon campaign and clearly I don't think anyone was prepared for this kind of sleazy maneuver.
posted by: robn on November 6, 2012 4:30pm
Its actually pretty brilliant and also devious. Just the choice of the t-shirt color alone deserves an Emmy for her campaign managers. Chris Murphy should try and get some of those people working for him on the next campaign because his own campaign managers let this happen to them. BTW, Linda didn't endorse Obama, she suggested that Obama supporters also support Linda MacMahon.
posted by: Dee Rien on November 6, 2012 4:35pm
I wonder how many Republican votes she'll LOSE because they think she's supporting Obama?
posted by: robn on November 6, 2012 4:49pm
She'll lose zero Republican votes because they're smart enough not to employ that strategy in Greenwich or North Haven.
posted by: darnell on November 6, 2012 5:05pm
It's sad that all of you folks are berating this young lady for trying to make money to make ends meet. The facts are that the Democrats aren't paying her or all of the other folks working the streets the last few weeks and the polls today for McMahon. The Democrats did it to themselves for ignoring these people. Why haven't the Dems developed a jobs program on the local, state or federal level for New Haven residents, particularly for black youth who are experiencing unemployment at unprecedented levels? Why didn't the presidential, senate, congressional and state candidates not get together and hire all of these folks? The Dems are spending a lot of money, but not on these folks.
I hope the McMahon tactic doesn't work because Obama needs all he help he can get in Congress, even though my guess is that Murphy will begin playing games as soon as he gets elected, and will certainly forget those poor folks canvassing for McMahon for the next six years, or until it is time for him to need them to go to the polls.
But I hope the Dems learned a valuable lesson from the McMahon campaign, if she were more generally liked, or Obama wasn't on the ballot, black folks would show their distaste for being ignored by voting for the "other guy".

This morning I was knocking doors around my neighborhood and that's exactly what I was explaining to all the people I was able to talk to, Obama IS NOT endorsing or suggesting he will work with Linda. This is her tactic to confuse people. I did my best specially with the Latino community hopefully people will make their own choices. I have to say it was so much advertising from McMahon and even worst, some people say to me but she's woman and she will understand OUR ISSUES BETTER. Like I said I explained again that McMahon was and is not a team player with Obama.
posted by: Wildwest on November 6, 2012 7:57pm
Please Darnell do not pin the problem of black youths on politicians. We can play the blame game all day long but when it comes to Murphy vs McMahon she is outspending him by leaps and bounds, piss poor ethics and all.
This seems wrong enough to be illegal to me, maybe its just another legal loophole for the 1% to take advantage of.
posted by: Noteworthy on November 6, 2012 8:09pm
This is not despicable - it's masterful - from the colors of the shirts to having a presence int he belly of the Demo machine; to admitting what everyone knows - that Obama will win the state. So why not? It's beautiful and these people all get paid and from reports, get paid well. What I love best of all - turnout to vote has been very high. Bravo to all who voted!

Darnell, your comment leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not sure I can put it sunsinkly, but I will try.
It is like you are ying to Mitt Romney's yang. He talks about a 47% of Americans being dependent on the government, and you talk of a Democratic party that has failed to employ black youth en mass.
posted by: darnell on November 6, 2012 9:10pm
@MikeM - it is wrong for this woman to make a dollar, but not for all those consultants, spokespeople, etc. to make their living off of these campaigns? I'm not pinning the black youth issue on politicians alone, but they sure deserve their share of the blame. When I was a youth, we had politician who fought to bring resources and youth programs to their areas. I participated in CETA, a youth employment program that hired ALL eligible kids; the youth centers in every neighborhood; along with many other activities. Not anymore. In New Haven, 68% of the employees at City Hall DO NOT live in New Haven, the average city employee salary is $52,000. The average household income in New Haven is $29,000. Poor people are paying the salaries of middle class folks who live elsewhere. Look at the management of New Haven, and then look at how similar many of the names are. These folks are making sure that their kids are being hired, while poor children see their parents unemployed, and expect their fate to be the same. And don't give me this crap about their being plenty of jobs available, because it is not true, especially for the unemployed. Recent studies have shown that employers do not hire the unemployed.
So tell me, who do we blame?

Nice try HhE, but you missed the basket by a mile. I guess in your and Mitt Romney's world, everything is fine when the government is giving trillions of dollars to bank executives, stock brokers, oil dealers, weapon dealers and contractors in Iraq and other countries, just to name a few; but when the recipients of government largess through work programs are our youth, particularly black youth and poor people, then it is government dependency.
I suppose that in your world, the USA spending $3 trillion for the war in Iraq is a good thing, and didn't spur dependency among a variety of players. In my world, those $3 trillion would have been spent on families here in New Haven, building roads, reforming schools,saving homes from foreclosure, well, I think you get the drift.
Do you still have that bad taste in your mouth?
posted by: HhE on November 6, 2012 10:36pm
Blame is cheep, easy, and useless. Blame allows one not to take responsibility, while lawyers make money. Blame gets in the way of solving problems. I have no time or use for blame.
Yes, that bad taste is still in my mouth, and now some of it is stuck between my teeth.
For the record, I voted for President Obama. I find Mitt Romney to be sans moral center—which in my world makes him not even human. I am the Uber WASP, and I have one foot in East Rock, but I also have one foot in Newhallville.
My point was that by bemoaning the failure of the Democratic party to create employment as you did, your words dovetail nicely with the Romney message of it is the morally right thing to end social programs so the rich can get richer.
I think a review of my posts from the last year or more would make clear that "Nice try HhE, but you missed the basket by a mile. I guess in your and Mitt Romney's world, everything is fine when the government is giving trillions of dollars to bank executives, stock brokers, oil dealers, weapon dealers and contractors in Iraq and other countries, just to name a few; but when the recipients of government largess through work programs are our youth, particularly black youth and poor people, then it is government dependency.
I suppose that in your world, the USA spending $3 trillion for the war in Iraq is a good thing, and didn't spur dependency among a variety of players. " is rather wide of the mark.
The danger here, and you seam to be blind to it, is that this tactic of employing people to stump for a candidate that they not only not support, but who is a threat to programs that these just trying to make a buck employees depend on, might tip the balance in this close and critical race.
Your word and her acts distress me because I find them to be a threat to the well being of our city's underclass.
posted by: darnell on November 6, 2012 11:19pm
HhE, you're the one who is wide off the mark. It was you who tried to slickly associate me with Mitt Romney, when I clearly support MY President, Barack Obama. My record speaks for itself, I fought tooth and nail for the underclass, as well as fought to provide equality to empower those folks, who many lived in the ward I represented. The threat to our city's underclass comes from the folks who pretend to represent them, but continue to put on theatrics that in the end changes nothing. The city's democrats have run this city for decades upon decades, yet poverty has increased under their rule. The unions claim to fight for the underclass, yet they were the organization that convinced the state legislature to outlaw residency for city government workers, which effectively began the decline in underclass employment in the city government. It was the democrats who oversee a public school system that was called a "drop out factory" by a national study. It is the democrats who control a New Haven Board of Aldermen that oversees a government that forecloses on more homes than banks, and tows more cars of local residents who can least afford it. It is a democratic governor who raised taxes on everything, including he kitchen sink, again on folks who can the least afford it, while providing millions of dollars to big businesses in forms of tax breaks and corporate welfare.
Sir, or madam, it is not me or my words that are a threat to poor folks in this town, it is you and others who continue to allow folks in power to continue to do absolutely nothing, just because they have a D in front of their names. I grew up in Newhaville and Dixwell, now live in West Rock, one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. I bought my house in WR because I love the state park, and because I haven't forgotten where I came from. I don't have one foot in, I have both.
Yeah, I'm putting the blame where it belongs, with the folks that have the power to make change, and continue to piss away that power by having these stupid and useless power struggles that do nothing to change he lives of the underclass. I have spent my entire life fighting the powers, when I was on the BOA I was oftentimes alone.

Just watched MY President, inspiring.
@ Streever, Yes, I supported and actively campaigned for her two years ago.
No, I did not support her this go around. I did not work for any candidate besides President Obama.
She reached out to me and we had a two hour lunch a ways back. I liked her, she is very personable and "normal". She also made commitments to my community. It was more than the other candidate had done.
I still like her, I think she is an independent thinker, but I had to support MY president's agenda, which needs a majority congress to get done…couldn't screw around with that.
posted by: HhE on November 7, 2012 7:57am
Fortunately, Congressman Murphy won, and so in-spite of worries, we can call him Senator Murphy soon.
Darnell, I agree with much in your last post. Which is why I do not belong to any political party, and do not blindly support unions as some sort of magically inherently good institution.
However, my original position still stands. Much like the NRA and Handgun Control Inc; two polar organizations that need each other. Without the Brady Bunch trying to take away our gun rights, how could the NRA raise all that money to pay its salaries? Without the evil Gun Lobby try to arm our children, how can Hand Gun Control Inc raise money? Mitt Romney needed people to advocate for the government/democratic party to come down from on high and create employment and other entitlement programs to create his myth of a moocher class, so he could sell his (evil) message of "love of country does not mean loving one's fellow American."
How you conclude that I support ill conceived military interventions, bonuses for Wall Street (instead of the perp walks), and all that, I have no idea.
(For what it is worth, it is Sir and not Madam; H stands for Harold.)

last week i got a call in my office from "John" from such and such organization asking if they can be sure they had my vote for "LISA McMahon" next week, and I said "Lisa?" he said, yes "Lisa McMahon" I couldn't contain my laughter and then he hung up. It's funny when your campaign solely runs on money, and your "supporters" wouldn't support you otherwise. Looks like everything turned out ok though.

To answer Streever's question: the unions!
posted by: streever on November 8, 2012 9:01am
I'm glad the unions got people out to vote, but the message I heard:
McMahon is scary
Murphy is a democrat
Is exactly what I dislike about the unions! It is all personality based politics and fear of the enemy. It is similar to the narratives I over heard door to door in the last Alderman election.
Good job, but in the future, is it not possible to win a small local election with a more positive message? :-/.

St. Charles Parish Hospital Has $12 Million In Debt
An audit finds publicly owned St. Charles Parish Hospital ended the past fiscal year with a cumulative debt of $12.1 million.
Hospital CEO Federico Martinez Jr. tells The New Orleans Advocate almost $5 million of the debt was related to a lump-sum pension payment that the St. Charles Parish Hospital Service District, which manages the nonprofit hospital, plans to pay off over a decade.
Martinez said he's optimistic the hospital will be able to turn around its finances in the near future.
Martinez said in an interview that the hospital is hoping to strengthen an existing relationship with Ochsner Health System, which provides primary and specialty care services at the Luling hospital.

Game of the Week - Phillipsburg has improved offense
By CONOR NICHOLL
Phillipsburg High School football coach J.B. Covington sees many positives in the pistol flexbone offense. Many teams incorporate either the pistol (such as Smith Center) or the flexbone (such as Hutchinson), but few squads use both in the same base offense.
First, it allows Panther senior quarterback Riley Juenemann to take the snap a couple yards behind the center -- but not as far as shotgun. Juenemann has more time to look over the defense and see the field much better. Secondly, it allows Juenemann more time to read in the veer option.
"He end up going downhill at the point of attack instead of down a line and that has really been the biggest thing that we have seen going to the pistol versus underneath the center," Covington said. "The fact that he gets up to speed faster going downhill."
Finally, the Panthers, in their second season of the offensive change, have produced significantly better passing numbers. As well, no Phillipsburg squad in the last decade has averaged more points than the 2013 team.
"There is a lot of things that I like," Covington said.
The pistol flexbone has helped Phillipsburg open 7-1, 1-1 in Class 3A, District 14. On Thursday, the Panthers travel to Norton (5-3, 1-1) with the district runner-up spot behind Beloit on the line. Norton won 20-7 last season to earn the runner-up berth, also behind Beloit.
While Phillipsburg is long known for its strong defense, the offense has improved in the last three seasons, especially the past two. Last year, the Panthers ranked No. 1 in 3A in scoring defense and stand seventh this season at 88 points allowed.
Phillipsburg lost a pair of Division I players in quarterback Sean Newlan and kicker Justin Juenemann, but returned many of its top players.
"A lot of their talent is back, so it's a very good team," Norton coach Lucas Melvin said. "All the quarterbacks and backs are all seniors, they have been playing for two-plus years. They have a good-sized line that does a very good job. Defensively, they have got great players that fly to the ball, so I think obviously, they don't have quite the same talent as the Newlan kid, but across the board, they have got very similar talent."
Two years ago, Phillipsburg had a 154.4 passing efficiency by the NCAA formula, averaged 94 passing yards and 255.7 rushing yards per game. The Panthers had 36.7 points per contest.
Last season, Newlan was the starting quarterback for the third straight year, but Juenemann played in nearly half the season when Newlan was hurt.
The pair helped the Panthers tally 36.7 points per game again, but the passing efficiency greatly increased to 225.6 in the first season of the pistol flexbone. The Panthers had 108 passing yards and 299 yards per contest.
This season, the offensive numbers are much improved. The Panthers average 38.2 points per game, eighth-best in 3A.
Phillipsburg has a 206.3 passing efficiency, with 124 passing yards and 294 rushing yards per game. Seven Panthers have caught between three and 10 passes.
"The numbers have really improved in our passing game in passing efficiency and spreading the ball more around," Covington said.
This year, Juenemann has completed 41 of 70 passes for 988 yards with an 8/3 TD/INT ratio.
He stands seventh among the state's 11-man quarterbacks in passing efficiency (min. 300 passing yards). The 5-foot-9, 145-pound Juenemann has also rushed 67 times for 441 yards and six TDs. Covington said Juenemann is probably the team's fastest player from standing still to full speed.
"We thought last year when he came in for Newlan, we thought that he had the potential to really be good," Covington said. "He has proved that. He is not our fastest guy, and he is definitely not our biggest guy, but he makes a lot of good decisions for us, he is a great communicator. He understands the game, he is a student of the game."
Senior Grant Wickham is speedy and athletic at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds and leads the Panthers with 58 rushes for 585 yards and 11 scores, and six catches for 203 yards and three TDs.
Senior Hunter Kohler has a team-best 10 catches for 211 yards and two scores, and 63 rushes for 542 yards and five TDs.
"Hunter has done a nice job on both sides of the football, but, he is another one of our guys, he is not our fastest guy," Covington said. "But he is extremely quick and hard-nosed and likes to get in and mix it up with people, and does a lot of really good things for us. Sometimes, he is one of those guys that can make a play that looks like it is going to go downhill."

Maxim's was not one of them.
A dark dance palace situated among the neon-blaring tryst motels on SW Eighth Street, Maxim's Night Club is where Sardinas and his eight-piece band are setting up to perform late on this Friday evening. The bandleader no longer goes by Sardinas, the name he was born with and the one under which he performed as a lead singer for the immensely popular Cuban group Los Van Van. Now he is known as Israel Kantor, a nickname (cantor means singer in Spanish) he adopted professionally more than a decade ago.
Only about a dozen people have taken tables around the parquet dance floor, where a DJ spins recorded music at an ear-splitting volume. Several couples get up to dance to a novelty merengue "sung" by a barking dog; they're blurs of fast footwork, twists, and twirls. Most are dark-skinned Latins who've come dressed for a good time: the men in summer suits and silky print shirts, the younger women in curve-caressing dresses and the older ladies with sequined tops that reflect off the mirrored disco ball that hangs from the club's low ceiling.
A few coughs from a smoke machine announce the arrival on the small stage of Kantor and his group. They run through a cover of a salsa song with a spicy tropical beat, then a number with a Colombian rhythm. Several couples get up to dance. A slim figure in black synthetic slacks, a geometric-patterned shirt, and pointy-toed black boots, Kantor sings in a throaty alto that sounds too big for someone so slight. But although the dancers seem to be enjoying the show, the performance is perfunctory -- until midway through the second song, when the band begins to loosen up and improvise. Kantor seems more energized by the change than the sparse audience; nearly everyone has moved off the dance floor. Center stage, Kantor commences his own vocal improvisation, striking a cocky pose and delightedly inventing nonsense rhymes and making suggestive comments about some of the audience members.
That doesn't last long. The club's owner likes Kantor to play music that's more commercial. The band launches into another salsa tune, and the dancers come back. Through a 50-minute set, the smile never leaves Kantor's pale face, but he glances at his watch more than once.
Then, toward the end of the show, the band digs in to a cover of a Los Van Van hit, "Sandunguera," and Kantor comes alive once more. He prompts his musicians through several solos, invites a visiting guitarist onto the stage. At the bridge he raps to the rhythm of the claves and belts out impromptu lines from other songs by Cuban artists. "Naci en la Habana, soy habanero (I was born in Havana, I'm a habanero)," he sings, lost in the music, dripping sweat, and oblivious to the fact that no one is dancing any more.
This last number constitutes a rebellion on Kantor's part, and not only because he's singing a hit by Cuba's most popular dance band in a club on Miami's Calle Ocho. As Kantor knows from experience, at the Dominican-owned Maxim's, Cuban music of any sort is not particularly welcome.
"There's an important problem here -- we don't get a lot of Cubans at this club," the singer says simply, as he moves among the tables after the set. Despite having lived in this country for almost fourteen years, he knows only a few words of English; he still speaks in the rapid-fire slang of the Havana streets -- mayor becomes mayol, amor comes out amol. Kantor's fans in Miami tend to be balseros and others who have come from the island fairly recently. Struggling to make a living, they can't afford even Maxim's five-dollar cover charge. The crowd here is largely Dominican, Colombian, and Venezuelan, and it sometimes seems as though Kantor's band and its audience are playing a strange game of musical chairs: When the musicians play standard Latin numbers, the couples get up. When the rhythms become more complex and African-derived, the dancers sit down. "We have to play to please them," the bandleader says. "They're used to ballroom dancing -- a cha-cha-cha or a danzon. Or they want cumbia and merengue, or salsa. If we play Cuban music, they won't dance. They're not used to the beat of Cuban music."
Kantor, of course, grew up with Cuban music. It was an inescapable part of his life in San Miguel de Padron, an arid suburb of Havana. His father, who worked as an architect, moonlighted as a singer. His mother was an accomplished tres player who performed country songs based on the improvisational Spanish verses called decimas. His parents, aunts, and uncles formed a group and were frequently booked for parties. His sister was a professional singer (she's now retired), his nephew performs with pianist Pachito Alonzo's group, his cousin is a bassist with the popular dance band NG la Banda. Kantor started off on maracas, then graduated to guitar, debuting in public at age eight at the Havana Hilton. He was weaned on son, whose African-rooted 3/2 rhythm forms the foundation of Cuban music. He likes to say that his godmother was rumba and his godfather was guaguancó.

I've read through new draft guidance from U.S. financial services regulators on the use of social media. What struck me most is that instead of taking a compliance and control point of view, it talks instead of risks, and the need to ensure that social media risks are included in your risk management program. That's not to say that FSIs should take the guidance as merely advisory – as I learned in the Navy, a suggestion from a senior officer is an order.
So here a few of the orders from the draft guidance:
- Although this guidance does not impose additional obligations on financial institutions, as with any new process or product channel, financial institutions must manage potential risks associated with social media usage and access
- The risk management program should be designed with participation from specialists in compliance, technology, information security, legal, human resources, and marketing
- Financial institutions' incident response protocol regarding a security event, such as a data breach or account takeover, should include social media, as appropriate
- Components of a risk management program should include the following:
- A governance structure with clear roles and responsibilities whereby the board of directors or senior management direct how using social media contributes to the strategic goals of the institution
- Policies and procedures (either stand-alone or incorporated into other policies and procedures) regarding the use and monitoring of social media and compliance with all applicable consumer protection laws, regulations, and guidance
- A due diligence process for selecting and managing third-party service provider relationships
- An employee training program
- An oversight process for monitoring information posted to proprietary social media sites administered by the financial institution or a contracted third party
- Audit and compliance functions to ensure ongoing compliance with internal policies and all applicable laws, regulations, and guidance
- Appropriate reporting to the financial institution's board of directors or senior management
And the last sentence of the draft is a comprehensive mandate — As with any product channel, financial institutions must manage potential risks to the financial institution and consumers by ensuring that their risk management programs provide appropriate oversight and control to address the risk areas discussed within this guidance.
What this all means for FSIs is that in the next couple of years, you will have regulators examining your social media risk management programs. Sure, right now they've got plenty to keep them busy – Dodd Frank is only about a third done. But let's not forget, there's a new kid in town, the Consumer Finance Protection Board; in the social media risk area they don't face a lot of competition from other regulators – what a great place to carve out quickly some new turf.
CIOs, start working now with your legal counsel and government affairs to draft your comments. And for Gartner clients, I'd recommend that before you submit the comments, you run them by us. My colleagues, Stessa Cohen, Carol Rozwell, Andrew Walls, and I who are tracking social compliance and risk management are pleased to talk with you and provide our feedback.

Research Description
Protein-protein interactions are essential for signal transduction in all living organisms. Many of these interactions have been revealed by means of biochemical assays but only a few interactions have been elucidated on a molecular level. The Arnold Group investigates small molecules with the ability to mimic the binding mode of short alpha-helical protein sequences. Examples are interactions between nuclear receptors (NRs) and transcriptional coregulators, which are essential for NR mediated gene regulation. The important role of nuclear receptors in human physiology is reflected by the fact that 20% of pharmaceutical prescriptions in the United States contain NR modulators. Due to the wide range of physiological processes regulated by NRs, small molecules targeting NRs often cause various side effects. Thus, there is still a great need for development of new approaches to regulating NR function.
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is one of 48 nuclear receptors identified in the human genome. Its structural organization consists of a ligand-independent transactivation domain (AF-1) at the amino terminus, a central DNA binding domain (DBD), and a ligand binding domain (LBD) including the allosteric ligand dependent activation function (AF-2). The binding of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 to VDR activates specific gene regulation, which is governed by the recruitment of coregulators. The development of small molecules with the ability to inhibit the interaction between specific coregulators and VDR represents a new approach towards modulating NR signaling. The Arnold Group applies high-throughput screening, rational design, and virtual screening to discover VDR coregulator binding inhibitors (CBIs). Chemistry plays an essential role developing these molecules into biochemical probes allowing investigations of biological effects of specific VDR-coregulator inhibition in cells and organisms. Interestingly, these CBIs act complementary to the ligand based strategy to modulate VDR mediated signal transduction. The investigation of synergistic behavior between ligand and CBI might represent an important strategy to overcome hormone independent or hormone resistant NR signaling which represents a major problem for NR ligand based treatments such as cancer.
The students in the Arnold Group will learn different techniques of modern drug discovery. These include:
- Assay development, high-throughput screening, data analysis, and data mining
- Hit compound validation using biochemical, biophysical and cell-based assays and determination of their mode of action
- Organic chemistry including the synthesis of bioactive scaffolds, hit compound structure-activity relationship studies (SAR), and parallel synthesis of small focused libraries in solution and on solid support
- Virtual screening, pharmacophore modeling and docking
- Pharmacological profiling of biomedical probes including ADME
The interdisciplinary research conducted in the Arnold Group combines the traditional fields of organic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, and pharmacology to develop bioactive probes to investigate the underlying biomolecular pathways of human diseases.

DONALD F. HALL JR. Merritt Island, FL. Donald Fletcher Hall Jr., 92, passed away on Thursday, February 7, 2013. He was born on May 3, 1920 in Kokomo, IN. Don now resides in the arms of Jesus of whom he was a faithful servant his entire life. Don was predeceased by his parents, Donald F. Hall Sr. and Nina Ruth Pilcher Hall and his younger brother Robert Wiley Hall. He graduated from Kokomo High School, IN. and attended Purdue University and Georgia Tech. After leaving school he served as an original member of the Army's 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, HI and survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He also served on Guadalcanal. Don was a past President of the Brevard County Chapter of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association. Don was discharged after WWII but was recalled to duty in Germany for the Korean War. Don was a great salesman of various kinds of merchandise including clothing at Riches (now Macy's) department store in Atlanta, shoes, bedding, carpet, bank management and marketing services, and in Atlanta as a travel agent before retiring. Don loved to play tennis his whole life and did so up until 2007 at the age of 87. One memory was Don and his son Rodney playing tennis with then Governor and former President Jimmy and son Jack Carter in Atlanta. Don and his wife Beverly Jean Wadland Hall were married for 66 years and lived in Orlando, Nashville, North Miami Beach and more than 45 years in Atlanta, GA before moving to Merritt Island, FL in 2005. Don and Beverly have been faithful members of Northside Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA for over 50 years where Don served as a deacon. They traveled much of their retired life including much of Europe and the Mediterranean. Don always had a bright spirit and smile, and made friends quickly and often. Survivors include Don's wife, Beverly W. Hall and his older brother James Ransom Hall; children, Rodney A. Hall and his wife Virginia W. Hall and grandchildren Jeffrey, Jonathan and Melissa Hall and son Roger D. Hall and his wife Elaine M. Hall and grandchildren Michelle C. Tedder, Jennifer R. Sego and David B. Hall. Don is also survived by his great-grandchildren Caytie-Beth, James, Madison, Timothy and Titus Tedder, and Savannah and Lily Sego. A memorial service will be held February 23 at 2:00 PM at Northside Drive Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA and internment will be at Georgia Memorial Park, Marietta, GA

City Withdraws Plans To Use Eminent Domain
May 11, 2012 / Flushing / Queens Buzz. The Bloomberg Administration withdrew its threat to use eminent domain to condem the properties of the remaining Willets Point property-owners who did not want to sell their land. This statement was issued just prior to the beginning of court proceedings by the remaining holdouts, contesting the city's use of eminent domain.
The city had planned to remove the final holdouts and clear the way for a large new development that would include residential, commercial and office space, and parking. The city now owns 90% of the land in Willets Point, having bought out most of the prior owners.

Queens Bronx Builders AssociationBuilding Businesses Slowly Improving - Builders Cautiously OptimisticOctober 25, 2012 / Jackson Heights / Queens Business / Queens Buzz. I attended the Queens Bronx Builders Association Trade Show at the LaGuardia Marriott this evening. The show included between two and three dozen exhibitors showing just about everything and anything you might need to build a building. I went to get some sense of the mood of the building trades, given the economy has been the focus of many folks' attention since the financial debacle of 2008. The sense I got from most was that, while things are not great like they had been before the bust, they had 'hit bottom', and things appeared to be steadily improving. Most of the folks I spoke to were cautiously optimistic, saying they had some really good days but they also had some really slow days. A few of the people I spoke to were downright bullish. Only two people told me that things were still very rough out there. As you know, this is not a scientific survey, but the joking around left me with the sense that what I had been told was somewhere in the reality ballpark.

Jamaica Real Estate - The Art Of SellingJamaica Center BID & The Greater Jamaica Development Corporation Talk About The Re-Emergence Of A Vibrant Commercial CenterUpdated May 3, 2014 / December 3, 2013 / Jamaica NY Real Estate / Jamaica NY / Queens Buzz. Earlier this month I attended an event hosted by the Jamaica Center BID to talk about real estate and commercial opportunities in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. Jamaica is one of the largest and most vibrant commercial areas in Queens, and the event was designed to talk about Jamaica in that light. I arrived a bit early and met with Felicia Tunnah, the new Executive Director of the Jamaica Center BID [Business Improvement District]. It seems the weather, traffic congestion and the subways had conspired to delay speakers, attendees and possibly the event, but it wasn't too long of a wait before the meeting began. The delay gave all of us a bit of time to enjoy the food and beverages being served by local restaurants and a caterer. City Ribs, a small chain started by a locally raised entrepreneur served ... well ... ribs. Sangria Catering served a fresh salad and chicken dish and Applebee's served dessert.

The Changing Face Of LIC RetailLIC Partnership Conferences Retailers & RealtorsOctober 29, 2014 / LIC Neighborhood / LIC Shopping / LIC Real Estate / Queens Buzz. I attended a conference entitled Queens: The New Retail Frontier. The event was co-hosted by the LIC Partnership hosted in tandem with the International Council of Shopping Centers. The International Council of Shopping Centers [ICSC] mission is to advance the shopping center industry and to promote its role in the commercial distribution of consumer goods and services. The LIC Partnership's mission is to promote neighborhood economic development and a vibrant and authentic mixed-use community. The meeting was preceded with a bit of networking in conjunction with coffee and bagels. I spoke to an NYC mortgage professional who, in the course of our conversation, provided me with the following informational tidbits. Construction spending is at an all-time high. The New York Building Congress confirmed this statement and estimated that NYC construction spending will be in excess of $37 billion dollars in 2014 and accounting for more than 130,000 [likely well paid] jobs. This is up from about $32 billion in 2013. This spending has been fueled in part by government spending since hurricane Sandy hit on October 22nd, 2012. According to the New York Building Congress, government spending accounted for half of construction spending in 2012 and is estimated to be somewhere in the 30% - 40% of construction spending in 2013 and 2014. He went on to say that this construction in NYC was necessary as over 70% of New York City housing is more than 50 years old. I checked and according to Fannie Mae this compares with a national average of 56% of U.S. housing being more than 50 years old. Boston, by comparison, has only 38% of its housing stock built prior to 1960. A non-profit, Eye On Housing, notes that New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are states with the oldest median aged housing in the nation. The median age of the housing stock in these states is estimated to be 57 years old. And he noted that the cost of land was one of the major issues facing developers / builders. He noted that the cost per square foot in Manhattan was about $500 south of 96th Street and that he had recently heard that the cost per square foot in LIC was $300. He opined that at these prices one could only develop to sell residential space – not rent. Based on what I learned from this one attendee, I expected this conference to be chock full of usable information.

Guiding LIC Neighborhood Evolution?LIC Summit Conference Takes A Holistic View Of CommunityJune 17, 2014 / Long Island City Neighborhood / Queens Business / Queens Buzz. I attended the first annual LIC Summit which was held at the Museum of the Moving Image and organized by the LIC Partnership. The conference ran all day, with lectures and panel discussions about all things Long Island City. The first half of the day included discussions about the film industry and the LIC commercial and industrial real estate market. And the second half of the day included panels on residential real estate, but also on the possibilities of evolving a technology sector in LIC and an end-of-day session dedicated to the ongoing evolution of arts and culture in the neighborhood. I attended the afternoon sessions to listen to the panel discussions about developing a technology sector in Long Island City, and a panel discussion on how to continue nurturing arts & culture in the LIC neighborhood, as many rents and real estate prices have risen to Manhattan-comparable levels.

Hunters Point South Opens Spring 2015'Affordable' Housing Applications Begin Mid OctoberSeptember 29, 2014 / Sunnyside NY / Sunnyside Real Estate / News & Analysis / Queens Buzz. On Monday evening I headed over to Sunnyside Community Services Center to attend the Hunters Point South Affordable Housing meeting. Several years ago the Hunters Point South development was approved by Community Board 2 and subsequently approved by the New York City Council and Mayor. Click the link above to read the earlier report. The site has been under construction for years, and according to a Related Companies spokesperson at the meeting, the two towers containing affordable housing are to open to residents in the Spring of 2015. Naturally this assumes that all goes according to plan. Hence on Monday evening, Related Companies representatives in tandem with Community Board Chairman Joe Conley, NY CCM Jimmy Van Bramer, NYS Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan [and NYS Senator Michael Gianaris was scheduled to appear but did not make it] - began the outreach to the community regarding the application process for the low income and affordable housing units in the two buildings. Attendance and interest by the community was very high and folks who arrived late were turned away as the Sunnyside Community Service Center was filled to capacity. That said there are two more of these outreach programs scheduled, the details of which you can find in our Things To Do calendar in the Business section. Click these links to gain a broader perspective of the Long Island City Neighborhood in which these units reside, as well as of the LIC real estate market for apts and condos or the Long Island City real estate market in general. Full Report Contains Slides & Info On Qualification & Application Process For Hunters Point South Affordable Housing Units In LIC & Evaluation Of Affordability Versus Income & Apt Rents In LICClick here to read the rest of our report, including a photo slide show of the presentation of Affordable Housing in Hunters Point South in LIC Queens. I left out most of the presentation that dealt with how to set up a Housing Connect Profile and how to fill out the online application as it seemed pretty straightforward and you can also call the NYC Housing Authority [aka NYCHA] if you need help. |
Jet Blue Operations in QueensBehind The Scenes At Jet Blue LICMay 19, 2012 / Long Island City / Queens Business / Queens Buzz. I decided to take a look behind the airline ticket counter to see what goes on behind the scenes of a scrappy competitive airline upstart. That description best describes the Queens hometown airline - Jet Blue - which recently relocated within the borough, moving from Forest Hills [and Darien, CT] to the Met Life Building off Queens Plaza in Long Island City. Jet Blue officially opened its Long Island City location on April 3rd, 2012. They had been moving folks into the building in waves, after about a year of preparations. The first wave came on March 9th, and the last wave came on April 4th, 2012. There are currently about 1,000 Jet Blue employees working out of the Long Island City facility. In this report I focused on their operations center which handles many of the behind-the-scenes logistics. This report will give you a close up look at what goes on behind the scenes every day at Jet Blue as it prepares, schedules, executes and monitors an airline that has a fleet of between 150 - 200 planes, about 2,000 pilots, about 3,000 flight attendants, and an LIC operations crew of about 250 that runs 24/7 every day of the year. The Jet Blue Operations Center is shown looking through an aquarium, in the photo above. Click here to read our report about Jet Blue in Long Island City LIC Queens. |
Queens DOT Study - Traffic Makeover in Jackson HeightsDOT Finds Inexpensive Fixes To CongestionFebruary 22, 2011 / Jackson Heights Neighborhood / Queens Buzz. The Department of Transportation unveiled a traffic study, complete with proposed solutions, that look to ease some of the traffic congestion in Jackson Heights. The study area roughly includes the areas from Roosevelt Ave to Northern Blvd and from 72nd Street to 84th Street. The plan includes changing traffic flows, modifying a couple of bus routes, specifically allocating spots and times for freight parking, reallocating parking spaces and adjusting meter rates in high demand / low availability parking locations. All in all it looked like a workable plan which incorporated a significant amount of input from the community, including this past go 'round wherein they presented the plan to the community for final feedback before implementing it.

East Side Access Project Moving AlongHow Will This Project Affect Queens Real Estate?Queens Real Estate / October 4, 2010 / Queens Buzz. Progress on the East Side Access Tunnel project has been visible in Queens since early Spring 2010. The MTA has been busy drilling a new tunnel under the East River from LIC / Astoria, using the Sunnyside Railway Yard as its staging grounds. The photo to your left shows the view of the new tunnel being built underneath the East River from an Astoria / LIC perspective. The tunnel connects into Manhattan around 63rd Street. Meanwhile in the Sunnyside railway yards, many of the buildings that once dotted the landscape have been demolished. Thankfully this doesn't include an old train station which has been around for many years [see photos in rest of story / slide show]. They've also cleared away a number of old warehouse and garage like structures along 43rd Street between Northern Blvd and 39th Avenue.

By the time the commission meets, makes its report, the Legislature reviews it, acts on it, is implemented, and has time to work, that might be about the time the NEXT downturn in the economy occurs!

Wantage 'B' Band
The "B" Band mainly concentrates on competing at contests, however they are always in demand for concerts too.
2014 has been a very good year:
'B' Band's prowess has been rewarded and we are extremely pleased to say that following their promotion to 2nd Section as of January, they then competed at the Regionals in Stevenage in March and gained 2nd place. An amazing achievement as they had only just been promoted. Then to cap it all they played at the Finals at Cheltenham in September and were placed 8th out of 17 bands. What an amazing team.
This group is conducted by Danny Dullforce, who returned to WSB after gaining valuable conducting experience elsewhere.
The above picture shows the band entertaining at the BBQ. The picture below shows the band just before they competed at Cheltenham.
Danny Dullforce
Danny began playing in the Wantage Silver Band, and has progressed to be a leading euphonium player who has played with many top bands. He also plays tuba in a brass quintet. He showed a talent for conducting at an early age, and for some time was resident conductor of the top section Lydney Band; he now concentrates on the Wantage 'B' Band and has taken them from the 4th Section to the dizzy heights of 2nd Section.
About Us
Wantage Silver Band has been making music in Wantage, Oxfordshire and beyond since 1972.
Our 'A' Band competes in the prestigious Championship Section of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and having won the Regionals in 2014 competed at the Championships in October at the Royal Albert Hall gaining 10th place. They are now placed 52nd in the world. Our 'B' Band was promoted to Second Section in 2014 and competed at the Nationals in Cheltenham in September gaining an 8th place. Our Academy Brass competed for the first time in Fourth Section in 2014. To complete WSB we have a Concert Brass, a Youth Brass, a Trainer Band, Beginners and the Big Band.

I have gathered this much 1. Compiling new versions (particularly gcc-4.1x) the way LFS does it is somewhere between a major PITA and impossible. 2. I sense a lessening confidence in the quality of the toolchain among the guys who should know here and that frankly undermines the whole system. 3. The predictability of results on the range lfs ideally wants to cover ix86 32bit & 64 bit, amd & intel, and ideally ppc, sparc, etc. is lessening with advances in complexity. Introducing valgrind will add noticeably to times. 200 SBUs is enough to frighten anyone off. Others with deeper knowhow could no doubt add to this. Given the above, is there not a strong argument for this approach: Alter the content of a release. Make it a book and the appropiate tarball containing a prebuilt toolchain. The process would then be one of either 1. Build your own toolchain with slightly different options if you were going somewhere odd with your particular system or 2. Use the tarball as the final toolchain, and build the system Valgrind could then be compiled once, and then distributed. There would be no need for a static build, the educational function of which is near zero anyhow. Anyone who deviates one iota from the book in chapter 5 is screwed, so the whole idea of compiling 'for choice of options' is gone. It should be possible to install this way without any preexisting linux on the box with a few tweaks. Or mebbe the live cd would allow you to skip chapter 5 anyhow. -- With Best Regards, Declan Moriarty.

U.S. Retailers Spend More on Search
SearchIgnite reports a 33% increase in retailer's ad spending over last year illustrates that retailers are likely pouring more dollars into search campaigns which can be monitored and tweaked in real-time.
Roger Barnette, president of SearchIgnite notes: "Advertisers are shifting more dollars to paid search and digital media. Retailers want media they can buy on a performance bases to track and measure."
Despite a decline in overall consumer spending, people are steadily purchasing goods over the Internet. Observationally, retailers are offering more incentives earlier in the season than is typical, likely incentivizing consumers to go ahead and make necessary and discretionary purchases.

You really know how to do the hair and the perspective; I still struggle with those from time to time. All we need now are Xion, King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and the BBS trio! The white background works since it doesn't take away from the action.
By the by, I really hope this sort of scene is in Kingdom Hearts 3. That will make my days forever!
