Witness Sees Drunk Driver Fall Out of Truck Into Street
Among the many drunk drivers nabbed by La Crosse police this week-end, was one guy who was literally falling down drunk. Cops say 28 year-old Adam Kamla is on his third owi. They say he nearly hit a couple when he ran a red light on Friday night on the southside. The couple followed Kamla for several blocks and watched him almost hit several parked cars and a city bus. Then they watched the West Salem guy park his Chevy Blazer, open the door and fall out into the street. That's where police found him; lying facedown in the street. Took a little bit to wake him up. And when they did, they had to skip the field tests, because he was just too drunk to do them.
Police say Drunk Driver Stopped with Meth Lab Remnants in Car
Police collected a little more than they bargained for during one drunk driving stop in La Crosse this week-end. Cops stopped 26 year-old Kenneth Fish at about three in the morning on Saturday. They say he was driving under the influence but also toting remnants of a rolling "shake and bake" meth lab in the back seat. There were bottles and bags and ingredients and a Coleman fuel canister. Cops collected the stuff and delivered Fish to the hospital, and then gave his clothes to the Hazmat team. Fish denied the stuff was his and said he was heading to Shopko to toss it all in a dumpster.
Degree At 16
(AP) A Monona teen may be the youngest to walk across the Kohl Center stage and receive her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Less than three weeks after her 16th birthday, Serra Crawford graduated Sunday. Serra says she just enjoys learning. The UW-Madison registrar's office says Serra is the youngest graduate since 1978, the year records began to be searchable. At age 4, Serra was doing second-grade math. By 6, she was into trigonometry and algebra. And, by 10 she was doing college-level work. Home schooling and e-learning courses put Serra on the fast track. Intelligence runs in the family. Serra's brother, Kyler, was 16.5 when he graduated from UW-Madison last year.
Girl Shot With Arrow
(AP) Fond du Lac County sheriff's officials say they don't yet know who fired an arrow that struck a 7-year-old girl in the back. Sheriff Myland ``Mick'' Fink said Monday the girl was on a sidewalk in Campbellsport when she was hit about 5:30 p.m. Sunday. She was taken to St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac, then transferred to Children's Hospital in suburban Milwaukee.
Fink says investigators will track the arrow backward as they try to find out who shot it. The sheriff says he doesn't believe there's a threat to public safety because of the incident. He says there are no archery ranges in the area where the girl was hit, and that it's mainly a residential neighborhood. The girl's identity and condition have not been released.

Celebrities Honor The Passing Of A Legend: Michael Jackson!
I am absolutely at a lost for words! The worst part about this is that it was so unexpected with no time to prepare for his departure! At 50 years old it seems he died much too young. Here is a few tweets and blog posts celebs have written.
Read More
Usher: "May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire JACKSON family particularly Michael's mother, children and all his fans that loved him so much. I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for Him and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer, who in so many ways, transcended the culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten."
Beyonce: "The incomparable Michael Jackson has made a bigger impact on music than any other artist in the history of music. He was magic. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the King of Pop! Life is not about how many breaths you take, but about how many moments in life that take your breath away. For anyone who has ever seen, felt, or heard his art, we are all honored to have been alive in this generation to experience the magic of Michael Jackson. I love you Michael."
Diddy: Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!
Vanessa Simmons: The death of Michael Jackson came as such a surprise to me. At first I felt incredibly saddened, but as I sat and thought of Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer of our time, it put a smile on my face. He was such a dynamic person who touched tonssssssssssssss of people with his talent! That's incredible! A round of applause for Micheal
Madonna: "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Russell Simmons: Michael Jackson was my generation's most iconic cultural hero. Courageous, unique and incredibly talented. He'll be missed greatly.
Mariah Carey: I am heartbroken. My prayers go out to the Jackson family,and my heart goes out to his children. Let us remember him…
Brandy: It hasn't hit me YET!!! I know when it does I will be a f**kin WRECK!!!!! I loved and still LOVE Michael Jackson!!!
Quincy Jones: "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80's. To this day, the music we created together on "Off The Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him."
Erykah Badu: Thank you Michael for your hard work , dedication ,philanthropy,& the sacrifice of your young spirit . Your vision and imagination live thru us. I don't know what to say.
Old School Friday: R.I.P Michael Jackson
I missed my Old School Family so much. Y'all are the most progressive and genuine bloggers I know. Celebrity bloggers (Perez Hilton) can be very vicious and mean spirited, and I'm glad I have a network of people like you.
I have not been a fan of Michael Jackson in recent years, but my childhood is filled with wonderful memories of the most complex individual of my time. We joked about him so much, and took his talents for granted and like an old friend said, "Death adds value to life. (Thanks J Kristopher).
But today we celebrate our best memories of Micahel Jackson, and so I'm going way back to when I was a little girl listening to Thriller on my blue jean record player. Hands down Thriller is the best, some may say Bad, but sorry it's Thriller. I have always had an old soul when it comes to music, and so my first choice is not the most popular Michael Jackson song:
This second song is probably the saddest song in the world, next to Man In the Mirror. I love this song because it's so simple, yet cheesy, but oh so good.
Michael was great at fusing styles and this funk, pop rock combination, is one of his best songs. I forgot about this song until today.
Last, but not least.

Confirmed: Michael Jackson Died Of Heart Attack June 25, 2009 – Dead At Age 50
UPDATE: Michael Jackson was officially pronounced dead at 5:26 PM (Central) 2:26 PM (Pacific).
UPDATE: Confirmed by LA Times! *I'm sad!*
UPDATE: No other news outlet is confirming his death, but according to TMZ his death is confirmed. We do not know definitely the condition of Michael Jackson, so let's keep praying that TMZ is just misinformed, just this once.
I was trying to get here to check on his status, because I got a text he had a heart attack, and as I started typing this I found out he has died. Wow, the King of Pop is dead. I knew he was sick, and I just told my brother-n-law something was seriously wrong, but I was not expecting this on my day off. According to TMZ:
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back. [Source]
This is what CNN is reporting:

Paramedics revived Jackson before taking him to the hospital.
Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.
Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.
Asked specifics of the patient's condition, the spokesman said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.
Coupled Up: Kim & Reggie!
Kim Kardashian and boyfriend NFL player Reggie Bush decided to not only stop by the AXE party at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan last night, but to also dress alike.
When are these two gonna officially tie the knot already, their just too cute.Read More
Tameka Foster's BFF Comes To Her Defense!
Usher's soon to be ex-wife's BFF is coming to her defense. Friends for nearly two decades, Nyeisha Dewitt couldn't sit back and let rumors circulate about her friend, Tameka Foster. Rumors, that she insist, aren't true.
NYEISHA DEWITT: Let me first say that I hope Tameka and Usher can salvage things as a couple. I've known Tameka since I was in middle school and she was in high school, and we've been friends since. It's not that I have to defend her or speak on her behalf as if she's done something wrong, but I simply want people to know everything they read about her isn't true. It hurts me to read the lies that people write and say about her.
ESSENCE.COM: Is it true she first learned that Usher filed for divorce after reading about it?
DEWITT: She didn't know that he was going to file. Of course, she knew that there were challenges in their relationship and had been some discord since March and was aware there were some things that needed to be worked through. But did she know that divorce was imminent? No. It was a total surprise.
ESSENCE.COM: Was Tameka also caught off guard by the images of Usher and Def Jam's Grace Miguel?
DEWITT: I don't know what it is or isn't. What I admire about Tameka is that, despite all the gossip, she isn't bitter or hardened by it. I don't know how she does it especially with children [from a previous relationship] old enough to read the lies that are written. It's like having to keep your hands at your side while someone repeatedly punches you in your face.
Gotta give it to her, she has a good friend. One that definitely has her back. Unfortunately, idk, how this interview will make things any easier for Tameka. It will only keep people talking just the same.

Eric Clapton coming to the New Orleans Arena in 2010
By Keith Spera, The Times-Picayune
December 07, 2009, 4:09PM
Eric Clapton is coming to New Orleans in 2010.
Guitar virtuoso Eric Clapton is scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Arena on Saturday, March 6, 2010. Opening the show is Roger Daltrey, the singer of The Who.
Tickets go on sale this Saturday, Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster and on Monday, Dec. 14 at the arena box office. Tickets are priced at $51.50, $72.50 and $91.50 plus service charges.
The New Orleans stop is one of only 11 North American dates announced so far for Clapton's 2010 headlining tour. These dates are in addition to three shows with Jeff Beck and a European tour with Steve Winwood.
On recent tours, Clapton's band has included at least one other guitarist. But according to Clapton's Web site, he will be the only guitarist on stage for these shows, backed by drummer Steve Gadd, bassist Willie Weeks, keyboardists Chris Stainton and Walt Richmond, and singers Michelle John and Sharon White.
The Clapton announcement adds to the tally of major concerts coming to the New Orleans area in 2010. If early trends are any indication, next year may be as busy a concert season locally as was 2009. In '09, the New Orleans Arena presented more concerts than any year in its decade-long history.

KuKoo for Krewe du Vieux
Mardi Gras is not just a day but a whole season in the Big Easy. Even on the other side of the state where I grew up we had heard about the fabulous New Orleans Mardi Gras. Like I mentioned before, I am from a small town, the kind of town where our Mardi Gras consisted of a trail ride, chicken chasing and a gumbo and dance at the Catholic Hall. A one day event.
Imagine how thrilled I was to attend my first New Orleans Mardi Gras parade and know this was only the beginning a two week plus extravaganza of parades and parties. I was lucky because I had hard-core native New Orleanians to show me the ropes (and the ladders) of parade going NOLA style. Over the years I have done the balcony suite on Bourbon, reviewing stand on St. Charles, and fought the crowds on Canal with the best of them. What I hadn't done was the Krewe du Vieux parade. Well, I can now check that off my "to du" list.
The full name for this Krazy Krewe is the Krewe du Vieux Carre. The parade starts out in the Marigny and makes its way through the Vieux Carre or French Quarter. It is one of the first parades of the New Orleans Mardi Gras season. This walking parade uses mule or human drawn handmade floats as well as showcasing a large number of New Orleans' best marching bands. It is noted for wild satirical and adult topics, nothing is off limits, everyone is fair game and it is definitely not one for the kids. Just to give you an idea, in 2006, less than six months after Hurricane Katrina made landfall, Krewe du Vieux was the first Mardi Gras parade to come through the streets of New Orleans. The theme that year was "C'est Levee". I mean just take a look at their mission statement:
Krewe du Vieux Mission
The Krewe du Vieux is a non-profit organization dedicated to the historical and traditional concept of a Mardi Gras parade as a venue for individual creative expression and satirical comment. It is unique among all Mardi Gras parades in the city because it alone carries on the old traditions of Carnival celebrations, by using decorated mule-drawn floats with satirical themes, accompanied by costumed revelers dancing in the streets to the sounds of jazzy street musicians. We believe in exposing the world to the true nature of Mardi Gras—and in exposing ourselves to the world.
Put this one on your parade planner for next year. It is Mardi Gras madness at its kraziest, Krewe du Vieux Krazy that is. One Krewe member summed it all up for me ''the devil made 'em do it!"

Saints Fans – Fashion Savvy
My Mom is one special lady. She has tirelessly tried to teach me by word and deed how to be a nice person. So for the better part of my life with her words of "Denise, if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything!" ringing in my head, I have had to bite my tongue. A lot! This has been particularly hard for me considering my secret job – you know the undercover one with the Fashion Police (FPD). Sometimes there is plenty to say, but more often than not, nothing nice!
Good news y'all! While on patrol in NOLA town I observed a marked increase in a particular fashion trend. From head to toe, black and gold is the theme to the extreme!
With our beloved New Orleans Saints finally on their way to the Super Bowl these "Who Dats!" are "Saintcessorized" to the teeth (no really, to the teeth). After being temporarily blinded by a particularly unbelievable "grill" I was able to really take note of some of the coolest, compliments to any Saintsational Fan ensemble ever put together. Who Dat! is not just a battle cry these days, it is all the rage! (Speaking of rage – NFL, can you spell M- A- D, but that's a whole nother story! Who Dat!) This "fashion statement" is on everything from hats and t-shirts to permanent tattoos.
I just had to pull one girl over (no, not to issue a citation) to interrogate her about the vintage bottle cap necklaces she had on her person. It turns out that Dana of Chromatic Creations has got her hands on the last 400 old Jax brewery bottle caps! She has created extraordinary necklaces with a black and gold fleur de lis on a white background inside of the vintage cap and hung them on an adjustable black cord. Very chic and affordable, so I would suggest you get them while you can.
With my FPD shift coming to an end, it does my little Saint lovin' heart good to see how well everyone is color coordinated in the Crescent City. Purses, flags and even the normally water-colored stained glass fleur de lis sun catchers have gone black and gold in LaBreesiana. Bless you Boys! Thanks for an easy day on the job. Geaux Saints!!!

Doreen – The Clarinet Queen
Where can you go to catch a world class musical performance with plenty of room to dance? The 700 block of Royal Street is where it's happening. You've got Rouses' (the old A&P) grocery, a regular stop for French Quarter visitors and locals alike. Across the street is Forever New Orleans, and Alex Beard recently opened an art gallery a few doors down on the corner of Royal and Pirates Alley (you can actually watch him paint in the window sometime, very cool). Gallery 713, a local favorite, is opposite him. But the crowd in the street is gathered around a group of local street musicians known to frequent this block. They are here to see the Queen.
Doreen and her husband Lawrence Ketchens have been international ambassadors for New Orleans music and culture on radio and televisions around the world. While they are available for weddings and special events, Doreen and her band of jazz musicians have been bringing their brand of music to the Crescent City streets for twenty years or so. A fixture on this stretch of Royal they will have even the most rhythm challenged tapping their feet and moving to the beat.
As Doreen says in one of her songs "I'm the Queen of the clarinet, been around the world ain't heard better yet" and I say "Amen!" The group has several CD's available for purchase. You can visit their website: www.doreensjazz.com
These show stealers will capture your hearts with just one stanza of their rendition of "Little Liza Jane" as they did mine. It is obvious these amazing performers play for the absolute love of it because their heart and soul are in every note.
Stop by and hang out with Doreen, Lawrence and the crew next time you find yourself on Royal Street. Hey y'all, don't forget to leave a little something in the bucket!

Maputo — The Mozambican Ministry of Justice on Monday sent a brigade from the General Directorate of Prisons (DGP) to investigate a mass break-out from the Tete provincial prison.
On Sunday, 46 prisoners escaped from the jail. The prison director, Miguel Paulino, cited in Tuesday's issue of the Maputo daily "Noticias", said that, due to poor security, the inmates sabotaged the electricity system at about 17.00.
The paper's report said this plunged the prison enclosure into darkness – but this is impossible, if the time reported is correct, since the sun does not set in Tete at this time of year until after 18.00.
The prisoners then destroyed the roof of one of the cells, and used the hole they had created to clamber to freedom.
Some other inmates informed the prison management of the escape, and a police unit set out in pursuit. They used tear gas and rubber bullets with the predictable result that innocent passers-by were hit, and had to be treated in Tete provincial hospital.
By midday Monday, the police had recaptured 17 of the fugitives. Among those still at large, according to Paulino, are six men regarded as extremely dangerous, who were serving sentences of 24 years for murder and armed robbery. He said the frontier guard has been alerted, in case the fugitives try to slip over Tete's borders with Malawi, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
Paulino complained that the prison does not have enough money to employ a sufficient number of guards. It is also grossly overcrowded, accommodating 500 prisoners in premises that were built for 80.
Justice Minister Benvinda Levi said the DGP brigade should ascertain the full circumstances of the break-out, and why no measures had been taken to avoid such a situation.

Ninety percent of tree roots exist in the top 18 inches of soil, and ninety percent of those roots exist in the top 4 inches. This means that tree roots are very shallow and the compression plate of a big tree (the structural root plate that bears the weight of the tree is less than 10 percent of the tree's total roots) may be stunted, causing a top-heavy tree to be susceptible to tipping.
A tree tugs on roots on one side and presses down on roots on the other side as wind pushes against it. In very wet soil, and if winds are strong enough, the tree can uproot or fall over. If trees have other hindering issues they can even uproot in light or no rain and lighter winds. The first thing to look for when trying to determine if a tree is in danger of falling is disease in the roots. In particular, look for the fruiting structures of decay fungi, such as Ganoderma root rot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganoderma) or any of the dozens of possible root pathogens, which show up on exposed roots or in the soil around the tree.
Conks, puffballs and mushrooms are indications that roots may be shortened or weakened. There are many fungi diseases, the International Society of Arboriculture publishes a guide to decay fungi, and they all, if it has been eating away at the tree for years, can mean that the tree's root system has been injured and can't withstand shear and compression pressures.
The age and health of a tree has a lot to do with how resistant it is to these decay fungi. It may take many years for a fungi to severely damage a young, healthy tree's roots, however it may only take a season to damage an old tree weakened by several pathogens. It is important to inform us the tree's history and age when inquiring about health issues.
Construction or other disturbances taking place around the tree may damage roots, such as trenching, excavation, root pruning or the application of chemicals around the tree. It is also important to think back many years into the tree's history because it may take 5 or 10 years for a disturbance to damage roots enough to cause toppling.
Health and structure are two different issues. A tree may be healthy, but also may have some hidden structural problem(s) that could lead to failure. The tree's roots may be fine, but a hollow core or decay in limbs could lead to failure in a storm. When examining a tree it is good practice to inspect old pruning cuts and sometimes to even drill into the trunk to look for a hollow or decayed core.
Another major factor in uprooting is the percentage of trunk that has no branches. Also when considering the building of new developments or commercial or industrial complexes, trees that are left from a once full forest are no longer protected from the forest walls from the brunt of winds, leaving them prone to failure because their root structures are not adapted to the changed environment.
Trees missing about 30 percent of its lower branches is approaching the frightening mark. The fewer low branches it has, the less it is able to withstand storms, because it will be top-heavy and configured badly. Wind pressure will not be distributed well over the length of the tree. In new developments, the moving of soil and reconfiguring of slopes may also leave a tree vulnerable through damaged or exposed roots. If developers would consult with arborists prior to excavation, they could save a lot of tree trouble later.
A related problem is that trees are often grown in restricted spaces, such as between a sidewalk and a curb, which leaves them with little space for root growth. Trees want to put their weight evenly in all directions, and confining them can be deadly.
Soil compaction in many cases can actually lead to tree toppling and is particularly true in clay soils found in our region. The compaction reduces air spaces in the soil and causes the tree roots to grow closer to the surface, leaving the tree with less grip on the earth around it.
There is also the issue of species. Simply there are just some species that are more vulnerable to toppling than others. There are too many species to list, but in general the species that have shallower root systems are more vulnerable.
Another facture that can be used to determine tree vulnerability is its placement relative to the prevailing winds of the region. This can be a compounding factor if a tree's roots are restricted along the wing direction. Shortened roots on the windward side may not give the tree enough hold and shortened roots on the leeward side can leave it without enough of a compression plate.
When assessing a tree as an uprooting hazard you must start with the big picture and work your way closer to the tree. Observe the configuration of the canopy and the tree's weight distribution. Is it leaning? Does it have an asymmetrical limb structure? Are there co-dominant trucks with one over-weighing another and do any of them have cavities?
"There are certain structural characteristics we look for", say Matt Wilson(Owner of Good 2 Go Lawn Care), because trees have evolved to support their own weight under normal weather conditions. However, in severe weather conditions and with unbalanced structure, they can fail or uproot easily. This can be difficult to predict, but there are indicators. Some big picture factors are the location of the tree and its exposure to severe winds, such as on top of a ridge, soil depth and soil compaction. Cracks can also appear in the soil around the base of the tree close to the trunk, which indicate soil slippage due to root movement. It usually takes several of these factors to make a tree uproot.
The trees that normally uproot are usually large ones, which can do a lot of damage, so the risk is very significant. The most common measure for a severely compromised tree(s) is to remove it. That is often the only way to make sure people and property are protected, because a tree with several aggravating factors is a ticking time bomb.

Amiri Baraka: Let's roll
By awoodall
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007 at 7:33 am in Uncategorized.
Oakland loves former bohemian-black nationalist-Third World Marxist-retired professors — like radical playwright, activist and wordsmith Amiri Baraka. And Oakland is where Baraka was Friday night — dressed in an orange shirt, red scarf and tweed jacket — reading new work and discussing his upcoming jazz opera, "The Sisyphus Syndrome."
The play, to be fully unveiled in Oakland at the Eastside Cultural Center next year, is supposed to delve into the Greek myth of the crafty, greedy, deceptive king best known for the saying a "Sisyphusian task" because he had to roll a huge rock up a hill, only to have it roll back down again. That's the story of African Americans, Baraka told the crowd (decked out in fedoras, Raiders' caps, Afros, Girbaud jeans and you name it) of the mythical king.
"Many have suffered such as us. But none of them was real estate," Baraka said, invoking "this burning fact that DuBois was wise enough to state." Slavery: the rock rolls down. Reconstruction: push it up the hill again. The birth of the Klan: rolls back down again. Harlem Renaissance: back up it goes. Fascism/Klan/Lynching: down again. "It rolled back down on our heads," Baraka chanted. Then came Malcolm X, SNCC, Congress of African People. Up, up, up went the rock. "But now it's back down again. So we have to roll it back up again," Baraka said.

Unions Conclude Obamacare Will Make Inequality Worse
March 11, 2014
Diana Furchtgott-Roth
A new report from the union UNITE HERE, entitled The Irony of Obamacare: Making Inequality Worse, concludes that the Affordable Care Act will increase inequality because low-income Americans will have fewer hours of work and have to pay more for health insurance. At the same time, according to the report, insurance companies will gain $965 billion in federal transfers to provide health insurance.
As Americans have seen, the Affordable Care Act has plenty of problems ranging from disincentives for hiring to cancelled plans. That is one reason President Obama is rolling out a series of delays in the Act's implementation, delays that some say are extra-legal. But these legitimate problems do not need to masquerade as increasing income inequality.
UNITE HERE, with nearly 300,000 members, is rightly concerned because its multi-employer health insurance plans do not comply with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. As plans conform with the law, they become more expensive. Low-income Americans without employer-provided insurance get federal subsidies to buy insurance on the exchanges. But not members of multi-employer plans, such as those negotiated by UNITE HERE.
Multi-employer plans, also known as Taft-Hartley plans, cover groups of employers whose workers are represented by the same union. The plans are managed by boards with union and employer representatives. These plans were set up under the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947, also known as the Taft-Hartley Act, in order to provide continuous coverage for union workers who changed companies but who continued to be represented by the same union.
UNITE HERE is not the only union complaining. The Labors International Union of North America joined UNITE HERE in a letter to President Obama in January, stating that "The concerns of more than one million members that we collectively represent, their families, our health and welfare funds, and the employers we work with have not been addressed by these or any other ACA regulations."
Inequality is the buzzword of the day, "the defining challenge of our time," according to President Obama, which might be why UNITE HERE chose it as the title of its report. But the report does not prove that the Affordable Care Act increases inequality, it shows the opposite.
Data from the Brookings Institution presented in the report show that under the Affordable Care Act the average income of the bottom tenth will rise by 7 percent, and the next tenth by 5 percent. Income of the two top tenths will decline by three tenths of a percent and five tenths of a percent. Although income at the bottom increases and income at the top declines, UNITE HERE insists that the ACA increases inequality become income in the some of the middle deciles declines by one percent, more than incomes at the top. Nevertheless, inequality is measured by comparing the bottom to the top, not the middle to the top.
Further, UNITE HERE's assertion that almost $965 billion will go to insurance companies, thereby increasing inequality, neglects the amount that these companies have to spend to provide health care to enrollees. The report treats the $965 billion as profit. But if it ends up going to insurance companies, it will be revenues, not profits. As it stands, some are complaining that insurance companies will receive bailouts because they are projecting net losses.
The Affordable Care Act, while providing subsidies for Americans below 400 percent of the poverty line, makes some above that income level worse off because they must purchase more expensive policies than they have chosen to do in the past, raising the cost of insurance.
Furthermore, if their employers drop coverage and they buy health insurance from the exchanges, they must pay premiums from after-tax income, not pre-tax income. The after-tax cost is higher.
Inequality or no inequality, unions are right to be concerned about Obamacare, because it will make joining a union far less desirable. Federal health premium subsidies are unavailable for union members, even for those who earn below 400 percent of the poverty line. In 2016, a tax on expensive health care plans, known as a "Cadillac tax," will affect many union plans.
The real problem is an increase in the cost of health insurance to the union's members, who work primarily in the leisure and hospitality area. If UNITE HERE's members keep the employer-provided health insurance, they forgo the subsidies. If the union and employer decide to drop the plan, and members get health insurance on the exchange, that is one less reason to join a union.
Over the past 30 years, union membership has declined from 15 percent of private sector workers to 7 percent. UNITE HERE knows that the health care law will accelerate the decline because the union uses its health insurance plans to attract members. According to the UNITE HERE website, Bryan, a 2012 summer organizer for UNITE HERE, said, "Hearing the workers [sic] personal stories of how a lack of affordable health care and decrease in work hours would affect their lives was a really powerful force in the room."
As has been extensively documented elsewhere, the Affordable Care Act poses particular problems for low-income workers, and the UNITE HERE report presents some of these problems. Although some employer penalties for noncompliance have been delayed, in 2016 employers with more than 49 workers can face a $2,000 per worker penalty for not offering the right kind of health insurance, so that moving from 49 to 50 workers can result in a fine of $40,000 a year. (The first 30 workers are exempt.) Since the penalty is not paid on part-time workers, some employers are reducing employee hours.
In a case of politics making strange bedfellows, the UNITE HERE report cites the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the International Franchise Association to show that employers are cutting back on workers' hours. The report lists 388 announcements of employers' plans to cut jobs or hours documented by Investors Business Daily.
The report quotes union members complaining that the Affordable Care Act is lowering their take-home wage. Earl Baskerville, a 50-year old food service worker at the University of Hartford, Connecticut, earning $45,000 a year, said, "Obamacare would cost me $4,855.20 a year more, or a $2.33 an hour pay cut. That's not right."
At least Baskerville will not lose his job. The major form of inequality in the Affordable Care Act is that some low-skill workers will not be hired at all, or hired only for part-time work.
The Affordable Care Act has many flaws. It forces people to buy more insurance than they prefer. It gives employers a disincentive to hire low-wage workers. It may be hard for the Act to recover from its latest problem-the Democratic union base rising up against Obama's signature "achievement."

Virginia Hill
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2013)
|Virginia Hill
August 26, 1916
Lipscomb, Alabama, U.S.
|March 24, 1966
(aged 49)
Koppl, Salzburg, Austria
Virginia Hill (August 26, 1916 – March 24, 1966) was an American organized crime figure. A courier, she was famous for being the girlfriend of mobster Bugsy Siegel.[1]
Early life[edit]
Virginia Hill was born on August 26, 1916 in Lipscomb, Alabama. She claimed to have neither worn nor owned a pair of shoes until the age of seventeen, when she ran away.
Adult life[edit]
She found a job waitressing at the 1933 Century of Progress Chicago's World Fair. Then she happened to come to the attention of a wealthy bookmaker and gambler, Joseph Epstein, who became her lover, financial advisor and ultimately, her entree into the Chicago Outfit crime organization. She was used to pass messages to mobsters. One contemporary commentator explained Hill was:
...more than just another set of curves. She had ... a good memory, a considerable flair for hole-in-the-corner diplomacy to allay the suspicions of trigger-happy killers and a dual personality, closelipped about essentials and able to chatter freely and apparently foolishly about inconsequentials.
She became the lover of acting boss and capo Joe Adonis of the Genovese family, then the Frank Costello crime family. Even law enforcement eventually concluded that she was a "central clearing house" for intelligence on organized crime and enjoyed an independent power base within the Mafia. She told people when arriving in Chicago that she was a Southern-belle society girl who had gone through four rich husbands, all divorced or dead, and that she had received $1 million each from their estates, but authentic socialites saw through the ruse. She built up an entourage of hangers-on and Latin gigolos hanging out on Broadway Avenue and frequently picked up the check. Four days before her lover, mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, was assassinated at her home in California, she took an unscheduled flight to Paris, France. There were rumors that she and Siegel secretly got married in Mexico after Siegel divorced his wife Esta in 1946, but there hasn't been any evidence to prove the theory.
In 1951, she was subpoenaed to testify before the Kefauver hearings, where she denied having any knowledge of organized crime despite being described by Time magazine in March of that year as the "queen of the gangsters' molls."[2][3][4]
After she was indicted for income tax evasion in 1954, she moved to Europe, where she lived for the rest of her life with her only child, Peter Hauser.[2] She died of an overdose of sleeping pills in Koppl, near Salzburg, Austria on March 24, 1966 at the age of 49.[2][5] Hill is buried in Aigen Cemetery in Salzburg.[6]
According to Andy Edmonds's biography Bugsy's Baby: The Secret Life of Mob Queen Virginia Hill, her death was suspicious despite it being an apparent suicide. The Austrian media, which were well informed about her former relationship with Siegel, speculated that she tried to get money by using her knowledge of the Italian-American Mafia and the Mexican drug cartels.[7][clarification needed]
Hill was the subject of a 1974 television movie, in which she was portrayed by Dyan Cannon.[8] She was played by Annette Bening in the 1991 film Bugsy, a dramatization of her relationship with Bugsy Siegel (portrayed by Warren Beatty).

'The Bachelorette' finale: Emily doesn't know if she wants to introduce Ricki to the menAdd to Favorites | The Bachelorette
The "Bachelorette" finale airs Sunday night (July 22) and it has come down to Emily Maynard choosing between racecar driver Arie Luyendyk and entrepreneur Jef Holm. In the above preview clip, Emily expresses trepidation of introducing Ricki to her suitors.
Emily says to her mother, "I don't know if I want to introduce them to Ricki and that makes it hard. What happens if I pick the wrong one?"
Her mother responds, "I think as kind and as good as both of these guys seem, they have to give Ricki time to adjust to this ... I know you all will take the time and decide what's right for you. That's why I encourage you to wait on any kind of engagement."
Meanwhile, Arie and Jef both speak with Emily's father.
Arie says, "In the beginning, this was all very carefree and fun, but then you get to the point where you imagine losing her. And I can't imagine losing Emily. She's the love of my life."
Jef says, "I wouldn't feel right taking the next steps towards Emily and I being together if I didn't have your seal of approval, too ... I definitely want to have your blessing before asking Emily to marry me at the end of this."
And Emily's father signs off on both men. Do you think he's leaning more towards one over the other? "The Bachelorette" airs Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by a live "After the Final Rose" at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

In New York, some Staten Island landscape contractors have a trash problem. More specifically, they have a problem with some of their competitors cheating on the disposal of their organic material. Many of the area's landscape contractors are complaining to the city that some contractors are giving themselves an unfair advantage by not adhering to regulations. They are operating illegally, and there is little enforcement by the borough.
The problem arises because landscape companies are required to dispose of yard waste at a waste transfer station or permitted composting facility. They must truck the waste up to 10 miles, and then pay $10 per cubic yard for its disposal. Some unscrupulous contractors, though, are just leaving the trash by homeowners' curbs, or worse, dumping piles of yard waste along vacant roads.
Homeowners are allowed to leave yard waste at their curb for free pickup, but yard waste from professional landscaping is considered commercially collected waste, and is not extended the same perk.
Companies who follow the rules are complaining that those who break them have an unfair business advantage. The added costs are allowing law-breakers to undercut legitimate businesses, reportedly even forcing some to close. Contractors say the rules are not being enforced by the authorities, on top of already lax fines. A first offense costs just $250, while a third can run $2500, but if illegal dumpers aren't even being pursued, then cheating becomes profitable.
All of this is in addition, business owners say, to the recent introduction of licensing fees, parking restrictions, and charges for compost. "How do I compete with someone who pays no taxes?" asked one Staten Island landscape contractor. The oppressive fees, coupled with cheaper competition, "are 100 percent driving me out of business."
So, why not turn this into a money tree rather than beat everyone up about it.....tho there are alot of "illegal" operators that think they are being smart........pull out your rented or owned mulcher and turn it into mulch, install it in their shrubs, trees and palms, sell them on the "green" effect, no additional charges for real mulch and bill them for it!! Dummies always take the cheap way, creative people make money at it......why do you think they call it the "green industry!?? Go for it. You make more money and alot less weeds to deal with.........

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
William Perdue said:
> Hello, I'm William...
Hello William. I see others have provided you with much information on
this, so I will try not to duplicate their work.
> I've been having some trouble with my security in my server.... I am
> running Red Hat Linux 9 with the Linux SSH Client software.
This is a good start, but running of SSH is insufficient to make a system
secure. SSH is designed to provide an encrypted session between two
*trusted* machines over a hostile or insecure network.
If you ever used ssh from a machine which you did not trust (such as an
Internet cafe, a library, a university lab, a "friend's" machine or
similar systems, then you effectively trust the people who installed the
OS, any applications and all users who have ever physically touched that
machine in the past. There are method to install key-loggers in software
which grab your keystrokes from the keyboard (these are available for many
OS) and there are also hardware devices like keyboard wedges which sit
inline from the keyboard cable to the computer which may hold a few K of
keystrokes-- keeping only keystrokes which have up to, say 18 characters
with a tab or return followed by up to 18 characters and a tab or return.
Then when you press a certain combination of keystroked, the device will
"re-type" (send these stored sequences) through the keyboard interface to
the system as though they were typed by a user. In this way, they can open
a word processor and then press this key-sequence and then see all of the
text captured which looks like passwords dumped into a file. These devices
can be very small.
The next ting to do is examine the kinds of services you are running. Were
you running any services which known holes or exploits exist? Look up the
version of the service, and then check the new versions' "Changes" to see
what new bug fixes exist. Frequently, they will mark "security fixes" in
these changelogs.
When it comes to people gaining unauthorized access you can break attacks
down into various methods. I prefer to use "remote vs. non-remote" as a
key, as much of the security software out there will help one or the other
but not both.
Remote exploits/holes have to do with insecurities in services, or
insecurities in how humans try to use those services (like the ssh example
above.) In this area, social engineering, buffer overruns, stack attacks,
heap attacks, etc. For these, you can install kernel patches for
protection form such vulnerabilities and increase the level of security on
your system, but they require you to know how to configure and build a
kernel. You should also remain up-to-date on the versions of service you
run and make sure you stay up-to-date. If a service supports running
"setuid-non-root" and "chroot" then consider using these to better
insulate yourself.
Non-remote exploits/holes includes such things as "local user attacks"
when a user has a non-root account on the system. One example is use of
symlinks and predictable file name used by services running as root or
other users/groups with privs to overwrite critical files, and then having
a symlink point from the destination file to the file to be overwritten.
Then when the service is forced to write a file (say in /tmp) the symlink
redirects it, to say, /etc/passwd and destroys the password file (which
may effectively be a Denial of Service, but in many systems, when there is
an invalid /etc/password file, logging in as root will not prompt for a
There are other attacks which local users can perform on a system to
increase privs, but most require the local user have one or more of the
* services running on the local machine with weaknesses like running as
root or another user/group with privs to overwrite critical files, and
risks like writing to predictable filename which are in a space that is
accessible for writing by other users,
* Applications/programs which are set with chmod to be "setuid=owner"
where the owner has more privs than normal users (You can try to eliminate
every setuid program on your machine, and it is possible to do this in
many cases, but I think you will always end up with "init" being
* Various lib attacks
* Other kinds of attacks which can be performed by local users, and many
are found in various root-kits which are collections of software which can
be used to attack known local security risks.
A sub-class of attack which is considered non-remote is one of physical
access. With all OS that I know about, physical access to the actual
computer is a security risk. At the very least, a user with physical
access can provide a "Denial of Service" by unplugging it. At higher
levels, they can install hard3ware and trojans the machine. At still
higher levels, they can steal your data by removing the hard drive. With a
different path, they can "reset your root password" through rebooting and
performing other actions where they boot with a shell that has root access
through other media or by using your own boot loader against you.
Looking at these 2 groups and one subgroup, you can often finds software
or hardware or procedures which must be followed by humans to better
secure each.

Firewall means nothing if you have exposed services with security holes or
followed insecure procedures in authentication, or permitted users to have
access to the system who willingly or unwillingly provide access to others
through their account.
A common way to view security is in layers. Security is not a solid brick
which blocks attack. A rather nice book on security is "Secrets and Lies"
which is a fine read for the non-technical when security comes into play.
Another book which is more technical is written by a professor at Davis (I
think): Computer Security- Art and Science, which is also a nice read but
a bit more technical.
> My Question: could they have obtained my root password?..
As with any OS, there are often methods to steal credentials from other
users. I have tried to outline a few above, and others here have covered
other methods.

> I have changed the password?
Others have mentions software that you can install before a breaking to
help with this, another piece of software like this is "aide"
Beyond this, you can perform a google search for various "md5checksum"
tools which allow you to run scripts which compares the files on your
system with the files from a trusted RPM to see if any are changes. These
tools are limited, since they mostly check libs and bins but do not check
conf or other files. Conf files can weaken a system by being trojaned or
by setting preferences which weaken a system (like configure of ssh to
allow root logins and setting the encryption to be very weak and force
only sshv1 support.) However, in addition to not checking the config
files, they may also skip checking files which were installed separate
from the system installer (such as root kits, and other mal-ware.)
The only way to be 100% certain if you have no auditing procedure which
notifies you (such as through to a remote logger which is made "secure"
(yes, yes, I know)) when files are altered without your permission.
Another attack can come from the actual vendor of the software you are
installing. Each piece of software could possibly be trojaned by coders or
people who gain access to the src repository or package repository. This
can include all code from the kernel through to command-line tools,
through to "X", but these are not as common as many of the others
(If you find something omitted in this message, you should check the other
posts in this thread, since I tried to avoid duplication of fellow
poster's ideas.)
