The Office of Archives and Records, founded in 1992, has been collecting records and unique materials that document the management, organization, and history of the Archdiocese since it was formed out of the Diocese of Savannah in 1956. Its responsibilities encompass not only the supervision of permanent archival records, but also the management of the active and semi-active records of the Archdiocesan offices and agencies.
The mission of the Office of Archives and Records is to collect, preserve, and make available the permanent and official records of the Archdiocese of Atlanta, its people, institutions, and associations. It documents the historical richness, development, and the spiritual, temporal and business affairs of the Catholic Church in North Georgia.
A new initiative began in 2008 to reorganize the Office of Archives and Records in order to offer better access to its resources and to expand its responsibilities. In 2010, the Association of Catholic Diocesan Archivists honored the Archives with the Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Award in recognition for its work in building an exemplary archives and records program.
While primarily serving the administrative needs of the Chancery and assisting parishes with research, preservation, and records management issues, the Office of Archives and Records is also open to the public for scholarly research by appointment.
For research, sacramental, or transcript requests, or any archives/history related questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
For records policy, retention, or destruction questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

SING Like a Polkadot: Exploring Different Genres of Music
Its SING WEEK so I get to share one of my favourite singing games with you! All you need to do is pick a simple song (like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) and sing it different genres. Great way to teach and expose the kids to different styles of music. We dress up too to inspire different ideas and make it more dramatic! its WAY too much fun!
Some More Singing Games from Polkadot Carly, Polkadot Dez & Polkadot Sarah
One of our favourite singing games takes place when we are driving in the car. I start singing a song and slip in silly lyrics, such as "Twinkle Twinkle, like monkey." Ashton loves listening and waiting to spot the wrong lyrics. He shouts out "No Mum, Not MONKEY!" and we sing the right words. Ashton then picks the next song and we sing at the top of our lungs till he hears the next wrong word and we start again! Its a great singing game that encourages good listening skills at the same time!

ST Program Going Strong for Nearly 40 Years
Saturday, March 29, 2014
As one of the oldest programs at Texas Technical College, the Surgical Technology (ST) Program has been providing operating room technicians to Valley hospitals for nearly 40 years.
Program chair Robert Sanchez has been involved with the program for 33 years and said 100 percent of graduates are placed in jobs and that 95 percent of technicians working in Valley hospitals are graduates of TSTC.
The ST Program is currently taking applications through April 11 for their next cohort starting this fall.
Sanchez said since most of the students complete their clinicals in hospitals from Brownsville to Mission, it's easy to get placed in jobs soon after they graduate and pass their certification exams. The current cohort is comprised of 18 students, which is set to graduate in August 2014. Once a student is accepted into the program, the first three semesters consist of academics and the next three of ST studies. Sanchez said each cohort takes up to 20 students.
"It's not difficult at all to place students in jobs right after college," Sanchez said. "They get job offers right away. As of right now, six of our 18 students have already received job offers."
A surgical technicians' role may vary from place to place but it involves working in an operating room and making sure all necessary supplies and equipment are ready for the surgeon during the procedure.
"They have to know what every instrument is used for and be able to react to stressful situations when those situations arise," Sanchez said.
Sanchez said the starting salary for a surgical technician can run between $15-18 per hour. After five years of working in the field, technicians can take their Certified First Assistant and Licensed Surgical Assistant exams. These certifications give the technician a bigger role in the operating room, Sanchez said.
Several graduates also go on to pursue a nursing degree and become Registered Nurses, Sanchez said.
Sanchez said that two ST alums are currently Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, two are Physician's Assistants and one is a medical doctor.
Clinical Coordinator Yolanda Ramirez graduated from the program in 2002. She returned five years ago and has been part of the instruction team at TSTC.
She credited the program for her success in this field.
"The ST program has provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in our profession," said Ramirez, who went on to receive a Bachelor's of Applied Technology in Allied Health Studies from the University of Texas-Brownsville.
Senior Instructor Anna San Pedro said the program provided a strong foundation for her to continue her education after TSTC. San Pedro went on to receive a Bachelor's of Applied Arts and Sciences in Interdisciplinary Studies from UTB and is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice from UTPA.
San Pedro said the success of the program and the students should be credited to Sanchez.
"He's established a strong network around the nation that has greatly influenced the success of the ST program at TSTC," San Pedro said.

'Portlandia' video: Vagina pillows help celebrate the show's pre-season Christmas episodeAdd to Favorites | Portlandia
"Portlandia" Season 3 does not debut until Friday, Jan. 4, but the crazy show about a crazy town will return briefly in December with a pre-season, winter-holiday episode. And if you ever wondered what to get your Portland-based friends for their Christmas and/or non-denominational solstice celebration, Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein may have all the answers you need.
Even if your friends do not need more vagina pillows.
Yes, that's right -- vagina pillows. The unusual home-decoration accessories are important to the video preview released by IFC. Featuring Toni (Brownstein) and Candace (Armisen) of the Women & Women First bookstore, the video also introduces Bobby Moynihan ( "Saturday Night Live") as Candace's son, Robert.
There is no way to choose individual highlights of "Vagina Pillows" -- except for maybe Candace's gender non-specific grandchild proving his or her identity in a graphic, liquid fashion -- so we will have to make do with some quotes:
- "It's sort of unsweetened maple syrup."
- "Can you just please watch the baby..." "We're watching it right now."
- "My entire bed looks like a woman exploded on it."
- "What are you, a detective? A gender detective? Lifting up skirts and pulling down pants and just getting in there with your magnifying glass!"
- "I accept you have a penis. That doesn't mean it's going to stay that way."
"Winter in Portlandia" will air on Friday, Dec. 14 at 10:30pm on IFC.

Four Steps to Higher Profits for Photographers
Posted By Stephanie Padovani On February 29, 2012 @ 12:01 am In Business of Photography | 4 Comments
Every businessperson wants to know how to make his or her business more profitable. And yet when it comes to actually doing it, we often shoot ourselves in the proverbial foot. Especially photographers.
Put on your big-kid panties and grow some thick skin, because I'm about to tell you something you probably do not want to hear. Ready?
You don't have the success you want and deserve because you're spending too much time doing the wrong things. And you're not the only one. This is a chronic problem for all small businesses, but for photographers in particular. They're busy working on the everyday activities of the business — answering email, filing, uploading, downloading, posting to blogs, editing photos. These activities, while essential for your business' success, are not money-making.
If you want to increase your profitability, you have to spend time – every week, if not every day — on the money-making activities of your business.
1. Lead-generating activities. These are the marketing, networking and promotional activities you do that bring in more leads.
2. Sales-generating activities. These are the things you do that turn those leads into sales.
3. Improving your service or performance.
4. Education, which helps you to do these things.
Any of These Time Wasters Sound Familiar?
I've been kind so far. Everyone admits to being over worked with the everyday chores of running a business. But what about the time wasters?
In a survey conducted by America Online and Salary.com, the average worker wastes 2.09 hours per day, not counting lunch. That's what he admits to. That adds up over the course of a week, a month, a year!
· Email. Did you know that the average person spends 49 minutes per day managing email?
· Text Messages. The average user sends 188 text messages per month.
· Surfing the Web. More than 75 percent of us spend at least 1-3 hours every day on the Internet.
· Television. The average American watches 28 hours of television per week. That's 4 hours a day.
You Can Eliminate Your Time Wasters
You don't have to eliminate all your time wasters. But if you cut out just two hours per week and used that time to work on money-making activities for your photography business, just imagine what you could accomplish in a year!
I'm going to help you uncover hidden time you didn't even know you had with a simple exercise. In fact, most people recover at least 1 hour per day by doing this.
1. Get out a piece of paper and write down everything you do in a day. I mean everything. No cheating.
2. Look at your list and circle all the time wasters. Anything that doesn't improve your health, relationship, financial situation, emotional or spiritual well-being falls into this category.
3. Pick just one time waster you can eliminate or at least limit to free up a minimum of one hour per week.
4. Replace that hour of wasted time with a money-making activity and book it on your calendar as an appointment that you have to keep with yourself.
It's not easy eliminating your time wasters, especially when you use them as stress relief, but doing so is the first step to increased profitability.

#1 Comment By Photographer Aspen CO On March 2, 2012 @ 1:29 am
Ok, I came up with the only time wasters in my business are reading emails from Blackstar Rising (just kidding). However, I do get too many emails from marketing companies that I've been unsubscribing.
#2 Comment By Harrpgate Wedding Photographer On March 9, 2012 @ 10:59 am
Haha! Yep, perhaps we should stop reading this website too?!
The trouble is with trying to eliminate time wasters is that you end up feeling guilty doing anything that isn't to do with your business. I now struggle to sit down and watch TV in peace because I keep thinking..."I should be doing this...or that"
There's a balance to be struck I think
#3 Comment By bryan On April 24, 2012 @ 8:25 pm
i feel this posting can be included.. really?
"Put on your big-kid panties and grow some thick skin, because I'm about to tell you something you probably do not want to hear. Ready?"
i feel the things listed can be put in the DUH column.
wheres the real advice. like specifically which networking activities work best and advertising strategies
#4 Comment By Stephanie Padovani On June 28, 2012 @ 5:34 pm
These items SHOULD be in the "Duh" category, but for most people, they simply aren't.
If you make a list of the things you do every day, you'll find many time wasters and non-important activities taking up time that could be used for high leverage activities.
Sometimes common sense simply isn't common, and we can use a reminder.

Hi everyone,Fired up vmware for the first time in a while, and noticed that NAT-based networking does not work anymore. I have a nearly identical machine nearby where this is not the case. Both are running Debian/unstable- however the working machine is using a k7-based kernel.I noticed that when I run ifconfig -a there is no listing for the vmnet8 device, which is normally used for NAT in vmware.Has anyone else experienced anything like this?I have tried updating vmware to the latest version, and re-compiled the kernel
modules... still no luck.cheers,-- Dylan BeaudetteSoils and Biogeochemistry Graduate GroupUniversity of California at Davis530.754.7341_______________________________________________vox-tech mailing email@example.com://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

city girl, country kitchen {homemade violet syrup}
Spring has finally sprung upstate. It was a long, cold winter, and many of us thought it would never end. The wonderful thing about living in the Northeast is that we have seasons. The not so great part of that gift is that the contrasts between summer and winter are brutal. Spring and fall aren't always a guarantee. Often, they feel like blips on the radar of Mother Nature, and yet there are people who still question the direct correlation of how we use our planet with climate change (a conversation for another day).
Everything around is coming to life. The raspberry bushes are snaking their way through the side garden. I've been told they're like weeds, and indestructible. I hope that's true since I have much to learn, and my thumb is far from green. There's a single rose bush along the house, too. I can't help but think of M when I see them. He took such loving care of the ones we had at our old apartment on Henry Street.

More than 250 lifeguard recruits of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) have completed different phases of their induction course this year. The graduates pledged to serve the community with their professional knowledge and skills at a passing out parade at the Ma On Shan Swimming Pool today (March 25).
The Lifeguard Lifesaving Passing Out Parade and Major Drill cum Water Safety Award Presentation Ceremony was officiated by the Assistant Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Mr Paul Cheung.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Cheung said LCSD attached great importance to internal training of its staff, adding that the department had always provided new recruits with various forms of training at different stages to cater for their operational needs and to enhance their lifesaving services.
The graduates of the induction course received their graduation certificates at today's ceremony. The course covered various aspects of training ranging from skin-diving rescue and canoe rescue to practical skills in the operation of swimming pools and beaches.
Today's ceremony included demonstrations of lifesaving and first aid skills, such as skin-diving, rescuing with the use of spinal boards, safe and swift transportation of the injured back to shore, as well as first aid with the application of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
In order to strengthen the provision of first aid and resuscitation equipment at its swimming pools, water sport centres and bathing beaches, LCSD will introduce AEDs to all 38 public swimming pools across the territory starting from April this year. The device will be operated by lifeguards trained in first aid and AEDs.
LCSD will continue to arrange training for more lifeguards in the operation of AEDs with a view to extending the provision of AEDs at water sports centres and bathing beaches in phases. The Department will review their effectiveness and consider introducing AEDs to more leisure venues.
In addition to professional training for lifeguards, LCSD also launched the "Water Safety Ambassador" scheme in 2005 by organising talks and education booths in primary schools to help children better understand the importance of pool cleanliness and water safety. So far, 34 schools have participated in the scheme.
A total of 30 primary students from Tung Koon School (Sheung Shui) graduated from the scheme this year and were presented with Water Safety Award Certificates today. They gave uniformly impressive performances during the event. By showing basic rescue skills including throwing of lifelines and lifebuoys, reach rescue and treatment for those falling unconscious, the youngsters demonstrated their readiness to join their older counterparts in promoting water safety in the community.
Commending the performing parties, Mr Cheung said that the graduates had put up a very good show of what they had acquired from their training and had fully demonstrated the professional skills of LCSD's lifeguards.
LCSD has always attached great importance to the provision of quality lifesaving services. A dedicated team of about 1,800 lifeguards during peak months, comprising civil service lifeguards, full-year contract lifeguards and seasonal lifeguards, is serving LCSD aquatic venues to ensure the safety of swimmers.

With the Intel disappointment, S&P futures are trading below August lows and we are now certain to see the S&P 500 -- but not the Dow -- trade at 52-week lows.

Cardinal Choices: Presidential Science Advising from the Atomic Bomb to SDI by Gregg Herken, Oxford University Press, $24.95, pp 317
American presidents have been getting involved in scientific priorities for more than a century, and most of the time their thinking has been conditioned by war, real or threatened. At the height of the civil war, Lincoln set up the National Academy of Sciences and in 1916, just before the US entered the First World War, the National Research Council was established.
Gregg Herken, chairman of space history at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, argues in Cardinal Choices that the vast growth of science policy activity in the US capital since the Second World War has been connected almost entirely with the world importance of nuclear weapons. Their power, he says, has forced presidents to think about them, and to surround themselves with the scientists who ...

text: Sometimes I Feel Like a Nut: Essays and Observations : Jill Kargman is a mother, wife, and writer living the life in New York City . . . a life that includes camping out in a one-bedroom apartment with some unfortunate (and furry) roommates, battling the Momzillas of Manhattan, and coming to terms with her desire for gay men. In this entertaining collection of observations, Kargman offers her unique, wickedly funny perspective as she zips around Manhattan with three kids in tow. Kargman tackles issues big and small with sharp wit and laugh-out-loud humor: her love of the smell of gasoline, her new names for nail polishes, her adventures in New York City real estate, and her fear of mimes, clowns, and other haunting things. Whether it's surviving a family road trip or why she can't stand Cirque du So Lame, or surviving the hell that was her first job out of college, Kargman's nutty self triumphs, thanks to a wonderfully wise outlook and sense of fun that makes the best of everything that gets thrown her way. And if that's not enough, Kargman illustrates her reflections with doodles that capture her refreshing voice.

Cable Dyeing
Stain cords and cables any color you like.
If you want an extension cord, power cord, or other plastic-insulated cable in an unusual color, and you can find one in white, there's a good chance you can dye it to suit your preference using this technique.
Turns out many cables are sheathed with PVC, and will take the same oil-based stains as PVC pipe. If you want a purple cord, for instance, you can just treat a white PVC cord with purple primer. If you want some other color, it is easy to prepare your own custom stains from clear PVC cleaner and concentrated solvent dyes.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 10 Pre-Recap and Spoiler Roundup
The hiatus is finally over, and Vampire Diaries returns tonight with Season 4, Episode 10, "After School Special." Get your John Hughes quotes ready, because it's just like The Breakfast Club but way more dangerous.
Caroline (Candice Accola) is Rebekah's (Claire Holt) first victim.
Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) plays Bex's henchman, delivering Shane (David Alpay) to her.
Rebekah wants to sic Tyler (Michael Trevino) on Klaus (Joseph Morgan). For his part, Ty is pretty peeved with the mom-murderer and a little scared of him, too.
Even after all her truth-or-dares and manipulation, Stefan (Paul Wesley) might actually be into Rebekah.
Maybe because his heart is broken and Elena (Nina Dobrev) says she's in love with Damon (Ian Somerhalder)? At least she feels guilty for hurting her ex.
Elijah (Daniel Gillies) will not join in any reindeer games.
Beyond that, expect "sad and dark" moments.
Check back for our full recap after the episode airs!

Most cult actors have a great catalog of movies behind them establishing their place in the film world. Yet some only make a few movies, if that, and then seemingly drop off the face of the Earth. A great example is Peter Bark, whose only credited screen role is Burial Ground (1981, aka Nights of Terror), where he plays a creepy looking ten year old (even though the actor is clearly in his twenties), becomes a zombie and bites his mother's breast off (a truly unforgettable role!).
Michael Sopkiw is another example of this phenomena; Sopkiw made four movies in his brief film career before he slipped away into obscurity. Sopkiw began his career in movies after he was caught trafficking marijuana into the States and needed some cash. He signed up at a modeling agency, where he eventually caught the eyes of Italian director Sergio Martino who cast him in the starring role of the Escape From New York styled post apocolypse movie 2019:After the Fall of New York (1983).
After the success of that film, Sopkiw caught the eye of another famous Italian director, Lamberto Bava. Bava cast him in the starring role of his amazing stinker of a Jaws ripoff, Devil Fish (1984) which is notable to American audiences for being one of the many tragic films to appear on Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
Bava then cast Sopkiw in his next film Blastfighter (1984), an Italian amalgamation of Rambo; First Blood and Deliverance. Originally set to be another one of Martino's science fiction films, the film ran into production troubles and longtime Lucio Fucli collaborator Dardano Sacchetti was asked to make a new script. The production company however had already bought the name Blastfighter, so they used it anyways.
The plot of Blastfighter has a pretty basic revenge theme running throughout. "Tiger" Sharp is an ex-cop who killed a crooked politician who killed his wife and gets sent to prison. When he gets out, he returns to his hillybilly hometown, where he is greeted with very little southern hospitality. He runs into his old friend Tom (played by the great Italian cult actor George Eastman), who heads a redneck gang that kills animals and sells them to China for medicinal purposes (how do people come up with these ideas?!!). Tiger gets into a few runs with the gang, and at one point they even kill his pet doe in retaliation (which is honestly a pretty brutal scene to have to watch). Out of nowhere, Tiger's long lost daughter Connie shows up to become reaqauinted with him. She is eventually molested and killed by the gang, which of course prompts Tiger to, what else, but take revenge.
Blastfighter is a pretty fun movie to watch. It is certainly one of Bava's most entertaining jaunts (possibly as much as his 1985 hit Demons), and Quentin Tarantino is famously quoted saying it is Lamberto Bava's best movie. The movie is, however, a good contender for a gulity pleasure as the plot is pretty stupid and could basically be nonexistent. Although it is shot decently, it's no contender to any of Lamberto's famous father Mario Bava's ouput. But these things aside, it's well paced, has plenty of action, and any movie George Eastman is in is usually good just because he's in it (I don't know. His role in Emanuelle Around The World is pretty ridiculous –ed.). You don't get the impression it's something Bava was proud of though, as he credits himself as John Old Jr. in the credits.
Sopkiw made his last film, the psuedo cannibal-action-movie Massacre In Dinosaur Valley (aka Cannibal Ferox 2, 1985), which undoubtably made him, like any of us that saw this movie, want to forget about Italian cinema for good. During the filming of the latter movies, Sopkiw met a group of metaphysical students in Switzerland who developed natural remedies and has devoted his life to selling their products ever since.
Blastfighter is unfortunately out of print, and has never been released on DVD stateside. Its really kind of amazing that companies like Blue Underground or Anchor Bay haven't picked it up yet. It is available through certain "underground" film sites if you know what I mean. Also check the movie out for the killer score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis (credited as Andrew Barrymore), which has one of the best Italo influenced themes you will ever hear (and was so good they used it again for Massacre in Dinosaur Valley). Enjoy, and after you see it can try and figure out what the Blastfighter is in the story; is it him, or his gun.. I have no fucking idea.

Ink-fatuation: 16 Celebrities Who Are Obsessed With Tattoos
November 13th, 2012 4:07pm EST | By: Kevin Blair
Selena Gomez recently had the Roman numerals LXXVI inked on the back of her neck, and she's also got a music note on the back of one of her hands. But her two small inkings are a far cry from several of today's stars who are obsessed with getting permanent artwork etched into their skin (we're pretty sure the "Justin" ink in the pic below is a fake) -- but does Selena have the bug?

What happens is graft and corruption on a ten-figure scale. Tax monies that should be going to public schools and police and fire departments now is being shoveled into the greedy paws of a couple of Khazar descendants to build a modern day coliseum for baseball's New York Yankees.
Let them eat cake.
Let's not forget who got this mess rolling in the first place, that lover of all things Israel and dedicated Zionist, Rudy GHOULiani.
Seems like the former mayor was busy in his final days, whether it was helping with the pre-9/11 planning or helping his Zionist buddies rake-off billions of dollars in public money.

Field of Schemes: Congress Probes How New Sports Stadiums Turn Public Money into Private Profit
A congressional committee is investigating whether New York City and the New York Yankees wildly inflated the value of the site for the team's new stadium to float nearly $1 billion in tax-free bonds.
JUAN GONZALEZ: A congressional subcommittee has launched a probe into the use of public financing to build sports complexes like the new Yankee Stadium. The Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, will hold hearings this September on whether land for the new stadium in the Bronx was wildly inflated to justify nearly a billion dollars in tax-free bonds.
Congressman Kucinich is looking into whether city officials overvalued the stadium site by several times its actual price. The Yankees would have avoided—or the bond-holders would have avoided millions in taxes, because they would be exempt from paying taxes on interest they earn. Meanwhile, the Yankees have requested an additional $336 million in tax-free bonds to help complete the stadium.
In a letter sent earlier this month to Yankees president Randy Levine, New York Assemblyman Richard Brodsky noted that the tax-free interest earned on the stadium bonds "normally would go into the city's coffers to pay for schools, police and health care."
Today, we host a discussion on public subsidies for sports stadiums. Congressman Dennis Kucinich joins us from the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. I'm also joined here in the firehouse studio by two guests: Bettina Damiani is the project director of Good Jobs New York, and Neil deMause is a writer and the author of Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit.
I'd like to begin with Congressman Kucinich. You have, as of last week, made a request to the City of New York and to the New York Yankees for a variety of documents as part of your continuing investigation into possible abuses of federal laws and IRS regulations relating to these kind of stadium projects. Could you tell us what you're trying to do with that investigation and why you decided to focus in on New York and the Yankees?
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: Well, this is a project that's imminent, and we have—the thing that I think, you know, caught my attention is when you have an independent appraisal of the land that the Yankees want to get for their new stadium of $45 per square foot, and yet the city had an appraisal that appraised the same land at $275 a square foot. Now, what our committee is trying to find out is, does the city's assessment represent a deliberate inflation of the value of the land so that there would be a greater number of tax-free bonds issued, thereby raising questions of, you know, an inappropriate increased diversion of federal tax monies for this kind of private project.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Now, you have been, for now several months, actually, questioning the IRS about the original waiver, in essence, that they gave the Yankees a few years ago and the New York Mets for the building of their hugely expensive stadiums. Could you tell our viewers and listeners what is the crux of the concern that you have with how the IRS is functioning?
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: Well, in 1986, there was a change in the tax law which made it very clear that stadiums could not be using these tax-exempt bonds to construct these professional sports stadiums. The IRS had a ruling in a private letter that essentially gave the sports teams the ability to make payments in lieu of taxes, which was kind of a loophole that enabled them to get to the point of being able to participate in these tax-free financing schemes. And so, I've had a hearing where we talked to the IRS, asked them for an explanation. And from what I understand, as a result of our hearing, they're reviewing their policies to see whether or not the 1986 Tax Reform Act has actually been compromised by the decision that they made.
I think that it's important to understand that we're not alleging, at this point, that there's been any kind of criminal activity. We're simply reviewing all the information that's been presented to us, so that we can determine, first of all, the discrepancies in the appraisals, secondly, the public policy issue of using tax-exempt bonds for these stadiums, and third, if there is an inflated value of this project, the implication that it has for security laws with respect to the issuance of the tremendous amount of bond financing.
JUAN GONZALEZ: I'd like ask Bettina Damiani from Good Jobs New York, this whole issue of this thing called "PILOTs," or payments in lieu of taxes, for use of repaying these tax-exempt bonds, is a very complicated issue that most the general public doesn't understand. Your organization has been in the forefront of questioning these kinds of development deals by New York, but also, by extension, by many municipalities around the country. Could you break down how these PILOTs work generally?
BETTINA DAMIANI: Certainly. And it's not just the average New Yorker, as we learned through the Yankee Stadium project. Most New York City and New York State elected officials don't quite understand the issue of PILOTs, which is part of the crux of this issue.
Essentially, PILOTs are payments in lieu of taxes. Instead of paying taxes, the Yankees are paying back their tax-free bonds. So, there's money that should be going into, as Assembly member Brodsky mentioned, the pot of money that would help pay for roads and schools and other services that New York City needs. Instead, it's just going—it's being completely diverted. And this, unfortunately, is a policy that is not done just with the Yankees but with a variety of other very large financial firms that have managed to make a special deal with New York City.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And in this particular case, it was actually in the interest of the New York Yankees to have a very high assessment of their land, because that would allow them to be able to float more bonds and pay more PILOTs, which is their main goal here, is to raise as much money as possible to build their stadium, right?
BETTINA DAMIANI: Exactly, and that's the irony. And that's one of the things that you mentioned in your article yesterday, is that in the South Bronx, the city was trying desperately to inflate the value of property, but not to benefit the larger community or the people that live in the neighborhood, but really for the sole benefit of the New York Yankees.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And, Neil deMause, you've been writing now for quite a while about these stadium boondoggles. Virtually every major city in America is building a new arena or a new stadium of one kind, and most of them are using some degree or other of public financing. Could you give us a sense of the overall national picture?
NEIL DEMAUSE: Sure. I mean, I think it's absolutely correct that every major and minor city is either building a stadium or arena or being asked to estimate somewhere around $2 billion a year of public money going into these buildings, a very, very small percentage of which comes back in terms of, you know, tax benefits or actually benefits to the cities.
You know, when the Yankees and the Mets first announced their deals, Mayor Bloomberg said, "Oh, you know, we don't make subsidies; we make investments, and we get our money back." At the time, it was announced, well, the Yankees and Mets are going to be paying for, you know, all the construction costs of the stadium. As you look at it and break down where they're getting tax breaks and where they're getting sort of hidden subsidies, the taxpayers wind up paying most of the cost.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And, Congressman Kucinich, you originally had scheduled your hearing for this week but then decided to postpone it until September. Have you been in conversations with the City of New York and with the Yankees about them also testifying at your hearing? And what documents, specifically, are you trying to get from them now?
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: Well, I could say that my subcommittee staff—and again, I'm the chair of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over this matter—and our subcommittee staff is in contact with officials of both the City of New York and the New York Yankees to discuss their potential appearance in front of our congressional subcommittee.
I think that it's very important to understand that we're looking at a public policy matter here that relates not only to New York and not only to the Nets and the Atlantic Yard project, but it also relates to the whole country, as your other guests have said, because it's quite possible that there are billions of dollars in tax benefits that should be going to municipalities for the purposes of repairing their infrastructure and for schools and other things and that are instead being diverted for these private sports complexes.
And the question is one of public policy, one of the IRS, and in the case of the New York Yankees, questions of securities law, because of the various amounts of the appraisal, $45 a square foot versus $275 a square foot, which have a bearing on the overall cost of the project. And if the cost of the project is inflated, that's going to be of interest to the SEC, as well as the IRS.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And in terms of the—you're not, at this point, contemplating subpoenaing any records. You're figuring that they are going to be—they will provide you the documents and the information that you requested to avoid that potential.
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: Well, you know, we generally assume that we'll get cooperation. I mean, certainly, as an investigative subcommittee, if we need to enforce that request with a subpoena, we have the ability to apply for that. But we're not at that point yet. And, you know, we're hopeful for cooperation on the part of all the parties involved.
And I think that, again, this is a matter of serious public policy. When you have New York City, a great American city, which has all these capital infrastructure needs, and when payments get diverted, essentially—payments are not going into areas where the city expects the tax revenues will be coming from, and instead they're diverted in these payments in lieu of taxes, they're intensely serious matters that need to be discussed. And so, that's why the work that Mr. Brodsky is doing and your other guests are involved in is very significant. We're going to continue with our work on the Domestic Policy Subcommittee, and we'll be sure to keep you posted.
JUAN GONZALEZ: OK. We're talking with Congressman Dennis Kucinich in Washington, and here also, Bettina Damiani of Good Jobs New York and Neil deMause, the author of Field of Schemes. We're going to return in a minute and to continue the conversation. And before Congressman Kucinich leaves, we also want to ask him about the hearings in Congress, the potential impeachment hearings. We'll be back in a minute.
And we're going to continue the conversation here on the stadium issues with Bettina Damiani of Good Jobs New York and Neil deMause, author of Field of Schemes. I'd like to—again, getting back to the stadium deal, this Yankee Stadium is the most expensive stadium in the history of the United States. The actual cost is very hard to get your hands around, because there are some public infrastructure subsidies. But we're talking about a stadium that is going to be somewhere between one and two billion dollars, when you add up all of the actual costs, probably closer to two.
And, Neil, could you talk about this—how the public expenditures are being used, even though we're being told that they're not being—public money is not being used directly for the stadium?
NEIL DEMAUSE: Sure. I mean, it's something I've been trying to track ever since this was first announced three years ago. There is, as you mentioned, this infrastructure cost, where the public is paying for building new parks to replace the ones that were torn down to make way for the new stadium, paying for moving a water main and other things like that.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And when you say parks that were torn down, because that was, itself, a big issue—
NEIL DEMAUSE: Yeah, this—
JUAN GONZALEZ: —this is public park land, about a—what was it? Twenty acres or at least—
NEIL DEMAUSE: It was like twenty-two acres that was actually demolished. It was park that had been there even longer than Yankee Stadium that was demolished to make way for the new stadium. To make up for this, the city and state had to make sure that there was an equal amount of park land that was created. So they're knocking down the old stadium completely. Originally, the team was talking, "Oh, we're going to save it as a museum." It's going to be gone starting next year, and they're going to put some ball fields there. And they've found some space down by the Harlem River where they're going to squeeze in some tennis courts, and sort of little patchwork of parks around different places.
The public is paying for all that. The public is paying for the actual demolition of Yankee Stadium, is all going to be public. The public is paying a good chunk for building new parking garages for the Yankees, including one that will be used by the players and VIPs and various folks like that. And the team is getting all sorts of different tax breaks. As Bettina mentioned, they're not going to be paying property taxes. They're going to be getting mortgage-recording taxes. They're going to be getting these tax-exempt bonds that we've been talking about, which is actually a tremendous amount of money, if they get the new $300 million in bonds they're looking for. They're going to be talking about getting more than $300 million worth of tax breaks just on the bonds themselves. So when you add it all up, you get somewhere around $900 million worth of public money that's being spent just on Yankee Stadium.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Bettina, those who advocate these stadiums say, "Why not? This is economic development. It's creating jobs. It's keeping a sort of a—the psychology of the city by having a professional sports team that the residents can root for." What's wrong with it?
BETTINA DAMIANI: All the subsidies that Neil just listed. You would like to assume that the city and the state made a clear path to making sure that there were going to be jobs, good-paying jobs for New Yorkers, on the other end. That was going to be the investment, right? We see nothing. There's nothing that says a certain number of jobs has to be set aside for either local New York residents or local Bronx residents, or the number of jobs at all.
The city has really washed their hands of making sure there's any accountability on jobs and clear benefits for New Yorkers on the other side of this project, which is very unfortunate. I mean, we're grateful for Congressman Kucinich and Assembly member Brodsky to get involved in this issue. Neither represent New York City, by the way. New York City elected officials—they're filling a void, because local elected officials in New York City have refused to get involved in this project. And we need them. We need them to make sure that the promises in the press releases actually turn out to be something that we can hold them accountable for.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And you have, generally speaking, on this issue of tax-exempt financing for economic development, raised numerous questions over the years. It's been one of my favorite topics, how cities are siphoning off their tax bases to create special deals for developers, whether it's sports teams or private companies, where they're, in essence, siphoning off the existing tax base from the municipal government and using it to fund special projects. How rampant is this, not only in New York, but throughout the country?
BETTINA DAMIANI: It's a terrible issue regarding not only the issue of financing, but making sure that there are quality jobs for Americans and, in our case, New Yorkers. There's a thing called the economic war among the states, where it seems that so many municipalities and states are worried about fighting one another for the headquarters of a particular agency that they're willing to set aside basic fiscal commonsense and not making sure that there are real quality jobs on the ends of these big deals.
Site consultants are prevalent throughout the country that have really manufactured this process, and they make it seem like if the Yankees didn't get their subsidy or if the New York Stock Exchange didn't get a subsidy, they were going to flee somewhere else, without taking into consideration or doing some real due diligence. Where were the Yankees going to go? The Yankees are famous because they're in the Bronx. We have a large media here. We have an incredible fan base here. And it seems none of that was taken in consideration before this huge giveaway was done.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, that's one of the things I think Assembly member Brodsky is trying to investigate, because the city agency that engineered this deal, the Industrial Development Authority, apparently said that the Yankees were threatening to leave New York, of course, the most expensive media market in the country, the most desirable media market in the country. Neil, your sense of whether that was real or not?
NEIL DEMAUSE: Yeah, I mean, and I think everyone knows that the Yankees were not going to move out of New York City, and it's kind of been an open secret for decades now, as long as George Steinbrenner has been demanding a stadium. Where is he going to go? The Yankees are not worth the, whatever, billion dollars that they're worth if they move to Charlotte, North Carolina. But that was the pretense. And the Yankees actually told the judge in a case trying to stop the demolition of the parks, "Well, if you try and hold up this case, the Yankees could move." And, you know, they've been allowed to get away with this. And as Bettina was saying, elected officials never challenged them on this, until, you know, recently Brodsky is trying—been trying to track it down.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And, of course, the final irony of all of this is, in the new stadium, once it gets built, as with all these stadiums, the ticket prices for the average baseball fan go through the roof. The prices in Yankee Stadium for box seats now are astronomical—they're astronomical now, but what they will cost in the new stadium is unbelievable. Could you talk about some of the prices that they've released so far?
NEIL DEMAUSE: Yeah. I mean, they're talking over, you know, $1,000, $2,000 a seat for some of the really premium seats. And I think what you're going to see is—
JUAN GONZALEZ: For one game?
NEIL DEMAUSE: For one game, yes. For one game, yes, absolutely. For a whole season, you know, all bets are off. But I think, you know, what you're going to see the Yankees do, they've promised to keep bleacher tickets low. They've promised to keep a certain number of, you know, $25-or-less seats.
I think what you're going to see them do is, especially with Brodsky and everyone else paying attention to the soaring costs, I think you're going to see the Yankees keep ticket prices low for the first season or two and, you know, try to say, "OK, we're holding the line." And then, as everybody's clamoring to get tickets, two, three years down the road, you'll see those start to creep up. So, what I'm worried about isn't, next year, is it going to be affordable, but three years from now, is anybody going to be able to get a ticket?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Right. And then, of course, the final irony with—because most of these stadiums have luxury boxes that are for corporations that go from $500,000 to $800,000, in the case of the Yankees, per year to rent these boxes, and of course, my newspaper, the Daily News, reported yesterday that in this deal, the City of New York arranged to have its own luxury box at Yankee Stadium available, presumably to city officials, as part of the deal for the financing. Bettina, your response to that?
BETTINA DAMIANI: It's aptly coined the landlord suite. And it's just another example of how local elected officials almost seem to be void of feeling that they have responsibility to the public, because they're going to get nice seats, in the long run.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, I want to thank both of you for being with us, Bettina Damiani, the project director of Good Jobs New York, and Neil deMause, who's a writer and the author of Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money into Private Profit.

I'm currenty using a Linksys cable/DSL firewall router
device. It's available in both a 1 LAN port and 4 LAN
port flavor. Programming is by a small web server that
answers only to the LAN side in the default
configuration. SMC also has a similar device with 4
LAN ports and can support a regular modem as well as a
cable or DSL unit. Both will do MAC address cloning
and NAT. They also can run a DHCP server. I've used
both brands and they seem to work fine. I still run
firewall software on windows and lock down my Linux
box, just in case the hardware firewall is not good
You will need a windows system to do BIOS updates on
either device, as the update program is windows based.
WINE might work here, I haven't tried that.
Good luck,
