How To Fight City Hall
By AMY WALDMAN
Published: November 9, 1997
SO you voted for the Mayor, the rasp in his voice has almost become endearing and you are looking forward to four more years of feeling safe when you walk the dog at night. Then you find out that the city wants to put an off ramp from the Gowanus Expressway in your neighborhood, and suddenly you are sticking voodoo pins in your Giuliani doll. That makes you feel better, but it is not going to stop the ramp. You cannot afford to hire a lobbying firm of a mayoral ally like Raymond B. Harding, so what is a community to do?
In the past, taking to the streets might have been the first option. Not anymore. Ask civic activists around New York how to fight City Hall, and they react as if you asked when they last beat their wives.
''In the old days, we had a fight City Hall approach,'' interrupts Michael Clark of the Citizens Committee of New York City, in a typical reaction, ''but now we encourage a collaborative approach.''
Some groups still protest, of course, sometimes with success, but most prefer caution and sophistication to confrontation. Dozens of interviews with community leaders and activists and with elected and appointed officials suggest that while there are no hard and fast rules for getting things done, the most effective community groups operate like businesses these days. They have strategic plans and agendas; they network and negotiate; they issue news releases.
And they are aware that while many traditional methods for moving city government apply, the alchemy of pressure is slowly changing as a result of the confluence of City Charter revisions, the relationship between a Republican Mayor and Democratic political establishment and the governing style and personality of Mayor Giuliani. Term limits for elected officials may throw yet another wrench into the wheels.
Most of the work in the city still gets done, and many of the decisions are made, by middle managers who stay rooted through mayor after mayor.
''They're the people who run this town; commissioners don't run this town,'' says Rabbi Jacob Z. Goldstein, who has been chairman of Community Board 9 in Crown Heights for 18 years. Those middle managers respond less to ideology than to personal chemistry (or maybe their mood that day). They tend to be more responsive to community boards or elected officials than they are to the average citizen, so at least initially most communities work through such intermediaries.
But when the bureaucracy is intransigent, or when an issue is large or charged, or requires a policy decision, the case becomes more political: it moves up toward the commissioner, the Mayor's staff, the Mayor. At that point, if a battle is in sight, communities need a plan, and they need a thumb in the wind to know which way political winds are blowing.
The first thing to realize is that this administration did not emerge from the political apparatus of this city and that it is not especially enamored of that apparatus. Elected officials, from borough presidents to state assemblymen to City Council members, still have more access to City Hall than do the people they represent. The clever, the motivated and the leveraged still get things done. But the occasionally fractious relationship between largely Democratic incumbents and a Republican Mayor has made relying on those incumbents less dependable. Around town, there are some frustrated elected officials.
''They play games, and try to channel all contact between elected officials and city agencies through them,'' Kenneth K. Fisher, a Democratic Councilman from Brooklyn, said of members of the Mayor's office. Then, he said, if they do not like something an elected official does, they ''tell people in agencies not to return phone calls or give meetings.''
Some of that, of course, is politics as usual. When the Mayor needs a vote, relations are restored. But for community groups, the lesson is clear: pay attention to those who have a good working relationship with the executive branch at any given time.
The Mayor has demonstrated little enthusiasm for community boards, starting when he slashed their budgets. (Council Speaker Peter F. Vallone has managed to get some of the money restored.) ''The first-term Giuliani administration has not been very good at consulting with community boards,'' said Alvin Berk, the chairman of Community Board 14 in Brooklyn. The Mayor also eliminated the liaisons that Mayor Dinkins's administration used to reach out to various ethnic groups, and has substantially lowered the profile of the Community Assistance Unit.
''The Mayor stays in touch by being out there,'' says Jack Deacey, a mayoral spokesman. About the community boards, Mr. Deacey said: ''Are some community boards unhappy with the administration? Probably. But this administration is out in the neighborhoods in every borough.''
Given these changes, and the uncertainties they have wrought, many communities have started organizing and educating themselves to work directly with city agencies or pressure city officials. There has been an explosion in the number of civic associations, particularly in Manhattan and Queens, that are becoming increasingly savvy at pressuring the city.

Pew: More Americans See 'Too Much' Religious Talk In Politics
Originally published on Thu March 22, 2012 1:59 pm
According to a new survey, 38 percent of Americans say there is too much "expression of religious faith and prayer from political leaders."
Thirty percent say there is too little and 25 percent say there's just the right amount.
That may not seem significant, but The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life says that the number of Americans who say there is "too much" religious talk from politicians" has been growing and is at its highest point since Pew started asking the question in 2001.
Of course, this poll comes at a time when that intersection has been repeatedly highlighted during the Republican primary presidential campaign. Rick Santorum, for example, has made headlines for saying he doesn't "believe in an America where the separation of church and state are absolute." Or more recently, Santorum disavowed statements made at a church service he attended. A pastor suggested that non-Christians "get out" of the country.
As you'll see in this graph, the sentiment that there is too much religion in politics cuts across the political spectrum:
Pew explains:
"The number of Republicans expressing unease with the amount of politicians' religious talk also has increased (from 8% in 2001 to 24% currently). But Republicans have consistently been less inclined than either Democrats or independents to say there has been too much religious talk from political leaders.
"Since 2010, there have been sizable increases in the percentages of white mainline Protestants, white Catholics and the religiously unaffiliated saying that there has been too much discussion of religion by political leaders."
Pew says the survey points to "public uneasiness with the mixing of religion in politics."
Update on March 22 at 1:55 p.m. ET. The Graph:
We noticed today that we had not added the graph we promised. We're terribly sorry! But we've gone ahead and added it.

"Great Book."
About at the top.
The last chapter.
Yes, but I needed to digest what was spoken.
Overall a great book, both written and audio. Shane Claiborne has a few others that are pretty good as well.
"A book you will need to share with others."
I would read this book again and again. I can think of maybe three other books that I can say this about, and I am a prolific reader.
This book is kind of in a league of it's own. Any person who is sick of pedantic and dead religion will learn why they are sick, and what is needed to revolutionize a heart that is calloused to good intentions, and words without actions. There is the good theology of say, Brian Mclaren and Thomas More, back-dropping Shane's words, but best of all, and unique to this book, is that the theology is turned autobiographical. Word into flesh; actions. Blessed actions.
I can't compare this book to many, because so few have to radically chosen to live out their faith in such a profound way.
I haven't listened to any other of Shane's work.
The book made me uncomfortable, shattering any pretense that I am doing a great thing by reading a great book. Bookism is selfish, if your interactions with others, yourself and God are not altered. I had a moment of feeling all of my life's hinges (goals, aspirations, where I place my time and energy) come loose, and imagining my life going down a different path. Then, in the weeks and days after, I set about forming new contacts and conversations that I know without a doubt is where I need to be going.
Thanks for speaking truth first in your actions Shane, it makes your words weighty, Even if you talk kinda funny, (I am far north of your strong southern accent)
"You've Got to Think about This Stuff!"
It will be tragic if the Western church does not take to heart this young man's powerful and loving critique. Recommended for Christians and those who are annoyed by them.
"An extreme idialist"
The sample gives an idea of the content. Always listen to samples with sharp ear.
The book takes you to real places, and to the world of ideas, even though interesting and worth knowing, that belong to a particular kind of person that I think Shane is. You cannot see this in the sample at first, after you do some reading you find enough features of his attractive idealistic unrealistic idea and you will be able to trace them in the sample.
I see an irreversible idealist, dominated by this particular closed function of his brain, intelligent and talented, very charismatic that found in Christianity plenty of tools to justify his lifeview, worldview. A worldview in which he lives.
The wrong use, abuse of Scripture proves that his ideal manipulates anything that could be useful to validate and force his concept. That's why others are bothered by his political/social content. That's why others are attracted by this radicalism. Shane is an idealist and that's how he lives with Christ or without Christ.
While listening a name came to my mind, John Alexander Dowie.
A few but revealing sex jokes and sex comments adds to my suspicion regarding his personality.
I see a dysfunction brain in action. To me this book is irrelevant
"Couldn't Get Through It..."
I got to Chapter 6 and I had to stop. It seemed like more of a social/political book. I understand his desire to read his book himself, but his voice was very hard to listen to. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Marshall Islands Put on Typhoon Formation Alert
The United States joint Typhoon Warning Center has issued a "typhoon formation alert" for the Marshall Islands, "saying a tropical typhoon is building between Majuro and Kwajalein, the two most populated atolls in the nation," according to this report from Radio New Zealand International. The center has warned boaters of hazardous surf conditions "that will coincide with a rising spring tide cycle resulting in coastal inundation of up to two feet along south and west facing shores on Majuro, Jaluit and Mili atolls through Saturday evening." The Republic of the Marshall Islands, population about 54,000, is located about 2,400 miles southwest of Hawaii. Many of its citizens migrate to live and work permanently in the United States under a 1986 treaty called the Compact of Free Association. A shoreline bar and store on Majuro is blasted by high waves kicked up by a tropical depression that was building to typhoon strength July 3 in the Marshall Islands. The waves caused major damage to the capital atoll's three-mile downtown lagoon shoreline. RNZI/Giff Johnson Kwajalein is home to the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site, which typically employs several thousand Americans. The Marshall Islands "is an isolated, sparsely populated, low-lying Pacific island country consisting of approximately 70 sq. miles of land spread out over 750,000 sq. miles of ocean just north of the equator," says the U.S. State Department. "These characteristics make it vulnerable to transnational threats, natural disasters, and effects of climate change." TonyRead more
Health Initiatives Become Law, Online Service Launches for Insurance Agents
Hawaii Gov. David Ige signed several health-related bills Thursday as the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs unveiled an online service for insurance agents to file general liability and workers compensation coverage information for contractors and pest control operators. Gov. David Ige signed several health bills into law Thursday at the Capitol, pictured here in March. Cory Lum/Civil Beat Here's a look at the bills Ige signed. House Bill 1343 (now Act 210) appropriates funds to establish a Business Recovery Center within the Department of Defense. The bill appropriates $328,000 in state funding with a federal match of $1.16 million. The center is a website where businesses and government agencies collaborate and coordinate information and resources before, during and after a natural disaster, according to the governor's office. House Bill 589 (now Act 211) establishes a state stroke data registry and requires hospitals to report stroke patient data. Through this registry, the state's acute stroke hospitals will collect a uniform data set based on their stroke patients and will submit the date to the State Department of Health. The data will help identify weaknesses in the state's stroke care system and work to improve the system's response to and quality care of stroke patients, according to the governor's office. House Bill 10 (now Act 214) authorizes Department of Education employees to volunteer to be trained to administer and oversee the administration of insulin, glucagon or other medication and assist with blood glucose testing if needed. This will improve the ability of diabetic students toRead more
Maui Group Sues to Prevent HC&S from Burning Sugar Cane
A group of Maui residents called Stop Cane Burning has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health seeking an injunction to prevent Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company from burning sugar cane. The lawsuit is the first on Maui to be filed in Hawaii's new Environmental Court, according to a press release. The complaint alleges that burning sugar cane violates the Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HRS Ch. 344) and several provisions of the state constitution. The plaintiffs include Karen Chun, Trinette Furtado, and Brad Edwards. They are represented by attorney Lance Collins. Sugar cane has been a mainstay of Maui agriculture since the late 1800s. From March to November, Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. burns about 400 acres of sugar cane weekly, on average torching fields four days per week. The group Stop Cane Burning formed in 2011 in response to residents' concerns about the impact of cane burning on their health. But Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. officials have said that the jobs of its 800 employees would be at risk if cane burning were disallowed. For more information, read Civil Beat's prior coverage of the Maui sugar cane burning issue. Civil Beat intern Marina Riker contributed to this post.

Ige Signs OHA Budget, Bills to Promote Hawaiian Culture
Hawaii Gov. David Ige has signed a bill that dedicates nearly $3 million of general funds to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs over the next two years. The semi-autonomous state agency that's dedicated to Native Hawaiian issues will use 70 percent of the general funds for direct services, and match the state appropriation with $6.4 million each year. The governor also signed House Bill 207, which requires certain councils, commissions and boards to receive legal training on Native Hawaiian customs and rights. Another measure, Senate Bill 1166, clarifies the state law regarding traditional burials. "This measure just makes it crystal clear that our laws will allow for anyone wanting to exercise the traditional burial practices of Native Hawaiians, that they would be allowed to do so," Ige said in a press release.

Ige Signs Bill to Help Undocumented Immigrants Obtain Driver's Licenses
Hawaii Gov. David Ige has signed a bill into law that creates a limited purpose driver's license for people who don't have documents to prove they are legally allowed to live in the U.S. The governor signed the measure, House Bill 1007, on Tuesday, according to a press release. The measure was backed by the Hawaii Coalition for Immigration Reform and Filipino community advocacy groups such as the Filipino American Citizens League. But in addition to immigrants, the law applies to a range of drivers including homeless people and domestic violence victims who may not have the proper documentation. The law becomes effective January 1, 2016. Gov. Ige poses with advocates for a new limited purpose drivers license on June 30. Courtesy of Gov. David IgeRead more
Rep. Tom Brower Suffers Facial Injuries in Altercation at Homeless Camp·By Richard Wiens
State Rep. Tom Brower is recovering from head injuries suffered after he got into an altercation with homeless people while videotaping them at a Kakaako encampment, media sources reported. Brower made national headlines in 2013 after he smashed the abandoned shopping carts of the homeless with a sledgehammer in his legislative district, which includes Kakaako and Waikiki. He could not be reached for comment Monday night or Tuesday morning. Hawaii News Now interviewed two juvenile males who said the altercation started after Brower refused to stop videotaping them. They said they didn't realize he was a legislator and now want to return his video camera to him. The altercation occurred about 5 p.m. near the Children's Discovery Center in Kakaako. Brower was treated at the Queen's Medical Center and has since been released. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Brower suffered a concussion and facial injuries. In 2013, Brower destroyed 30 shopping carts, and admitted to leaving some behind for city workers to pick up. The rest he took to a recycling center, he said. "I got tired of telling people I'm trying to pass laws," Brower told Hawaii News Now at the time. "I want to do something practical that will really clean up the streets." Rep.

Hawaii Medical Marijuana Business Expo Scheduled for July 17
Hawaii will hold its first three-day Cannabis Business Expo on July 17 at the Hawaii Convention Center hosted by the medical marijuana magazine Kaulana Na Pua. "This first-ever three day expo will provide valuable information for those with an interest in this new budding industry," said Sen. Will Espero in a press release. The event is cosponsored by BioTrack, a seed-to-sale software development company. It will feature vendors and classes for anyone interested in getting involved in Hawaii's cannabis industry. Seminars will cover a range of issues including banking, security and government compliance. "This expo is about putting our people back to work, providing safe access to medication, giving our patients and family members dignity, and taking charge of our safety and health concerns as consumers," said event organizer Lynn Merrill in a press release. "The employment opportunities are limitless within the health field alone, and when you add in the actual dispensary itself, the people of our state are expecting a tsunami of economic growth." Medical marijuana has been legal in Hawaii for 15 years, but the Legislature waited until this year to legalize dispensaries. The bill is expected to become law within the next two weeks.Read more
Homeless Czar Gets One-Month Contract Extension·By Rui Kaneya
Colin Kippen will have to show up to work Wednesday, after all. Kippen's tenure as the governor's coordinator on homelessness was supposed to expire at the end of June, but Gov. David Ige told reporters at Monday's press conference that he extended Kippen's contract for another month. This is the third time that Ige decided to keep Kippen around on an interim basis. In November, Ige first approached Kippen and asked him to stay in his post through the end of last year — only to change his mind late December and extend the offer for another six months. Gov. David Ige announced Colin Kippen's contract extension at Monday's press conference. Cory Lum/Civil BeatWhether Kippen, an appointee of former Gov. Neil Abercrombie, will get a fourth extension when his new contract wraps up at the end of July remains unclear. Ige said he's now in the process of evaluating Kippen's performance, as well as the state of Hawaii's overall homelessness response system. To make a steady progress on the issue, the governor said it's important that the state makes specific goals. "There are lots of details to be worked through," he said. "Homelessness is a complex and tough issue." But Hawaii has long been part of the nationwide effort — under a goal set by President Barack Obama in 2010 — to end veteran homelessness by the end of this year and chronic homelessness by 2017.Read more
Ige: No Plans to Use National Guard to Reopen Mauna Kea Road
The Hawaii National Guard is not among the options being discussed to reopen the road up Mauna Kea so construction crews can reach the site of the planned $1.4 billion Thirty Meter Telescope, Gov. David Ige said Monday. Protesters placed boulders and rock walls on the road last week, forcing work vehicles to turn around. It's the second time an attempt to start construction has been thwarted by people who want to protect the mountain from future development because it's a sacred place to Native Hawaiians. The road has been closed since June 24. Ige said he is working with the University of Hawaii, law enforcement and others to come up with a plan to start construction while ensuring the access route remains safe to workers and visitors to Mauna Kea. The governor said an announcement will be made when the plan is ready. Gov. David Ige at a Monday press conference: National Guard not envisioned for Mauna Kea. Cory Lum/Civil BeatRead more
Laenani Neighborhood Park: Where the Turtle Droppings Are·By Marina Riker
Beachgoers were concerned when they saw feces lining the beach at Laenani Neighborhood Park on Monday morning. Health officials suspect the source was green sea turtles. Approximately 60 droppings washed onto the beach, while other pieces floated in the shore break. Turtle droppings aren't a health threat, said Stefanie Weaver, an environmental engineer at the Department of Health. While a large amount of turtle poop washing up on the beach isn't common, it's also not unheard of, Weaver said. Apparent turtle droppings on the beach at Laenani Neighborhood Park. Cory Lum/Civil Beat She said the DOH occasionally gets calls from people who mistake turtle droppings for dog feces. The feces are hard to break apart because of green sea turtles' plant-based diets, she said. A large amount of turtle feces could mean that there's a large group of turtles close to shore, she said. There have also been sightings of turtle droppings on neighbor islands. Despite an overall declining trend globally, green sea turtle populations in Hawaii have actually increased more than 50 percent in the last 25 years. Also known as the honu, Hawaiian green sea turtles are listed as an endangered species, and can weigh up to 400 pounds, according to the World Wildlife Fund.Read more
Hawaii a Top Honeymoon Destination for Gay Couples
Not long after the nation's high court made same-sex marriage the law of the land Friday, gay and lesbian couples started getting hitched all across the country (except in those few states still resisting history.) Business Insider soon published an article on the top 12 honeymoon destinations for gay couples, and Hawaii — not surprisingly — made the cut. Same-sex couples pose for a photo before a joint wedding ceremony at the Sheraton Waikiki in December 2013. PF Bentley/Civil Beat Here's what the article had to say: Hawaii is the quintessential honeymoon destination for both gay and straight couples for good reason. Most couples opt to spend a few days in Honolulu, taking advantage of the active bars and restaurants there, before flying on to a more secluded island, like Kauai or Maui. "Most of the major hotels in Hawaii offer union ceremonies and honeymoon packages for same-sex couples," said Ed Salvato, the editor-in-chief of gay travel magazine ManAboutWorld. "It's part of the whole Aloha mindset, but it's also just good business." Hawaii was not always viewed as gay-friendly. Travel experts say the state's tourism industry was less attractive to GLBT travelers after voters in 1998 chose to limit marriage to one man and one woman. The Hawaii Legislature and governor reversed course in 2013, of course, and most of us all lived happily ever after. Business Insider says other desirable honeymoon spots for gay couples include Puerto Vallarta and Punta Mita, Mexico; Tel Aviv, Israel; and Provincetown and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.Read more

Ige: 'We Will Do Whatever Is Necessary to Ensure Lawful Access'
Hawaii Gov. David Ige made his support for the Thirty Meter Telescope project atop Mauna Kea quite clear in a statement Friday afternoon along with his disdain for the way protesters used rocks to block the road up the mountain: "We are a patient people in Hawaii. We listen to and understand differing points of view, and we respect the many cultures of this land, especially that of the host culture. I have done my very best to follow this process in the case of Mauna Kea and set forth a way forward that I believe is reasonable. "We expected there to be a protest when construction resumed, and there was. We hoped we would not have to arrest people but were prepared to do so, and we did when they blocked the roadway. We also saw, in what amounts to an act of vandalism, the roadway blocked with rocks and boulders. We deployed to remove the rocks and boulders, but the protesters wisely chose to remove them themselves. "And then we saw more attempts to control the road. That is not lawful or acceptable to the people of Hawai'i. So let me be very direct: The roads belong to all the people of Hawai'i and they will remain open. We will do whatever is necessary to ensure lawful access. We expect there to be more types of challenges, good and bad days, and we are in this for the long run. We value TMT and the contributions of science and technology to our society, andRead more

POTUS on SCOTUS: 'We've Made Our Union a Little More Perfect'
Reacting to Friday's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to legalize same-sex marriage, President Obama said, "There's so much more work to be done to extend the full promise of America to every American. But today, we can say in no uncertain terms that we've made our union a little more perfect." The Hawaii-born president continued: That's the consequence of a decision from the Supreme Court, but, more importantly, it is a consequence of the countless small acts of courage of millions of people across decades who stood up, who came out, who talked to parents — parents who loved their children no matter what. Folks who were willing to endure bullying and taunts, and stayed strong, and came to believe in themselves and who they were, and slowly made an entire country realize that love is love. "Love is love," baby. Word. You can read Obama's full remarks here. And you can read the court's decision here. Meanwhile, Republican hopefuls trying to succeed the president are condemning the high court's ruling. Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, has called for a constitutional amendment to let states define marriage. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the decision will "pave the way for an all out assault against the religious freedom rights of Christians who disagree with this decision." And former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee vowed not to "acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch." The WhiteRead more
Hawaii's Senior Population Growing 4 Times Faster Than State as a Whole·By Marina Riker
U.S. Census Bureau released the 2014 state and county population information Thursday, including estimates broken down by age, sex, the five major race groups and Hispanic origin between April 1, 2010 to July 1, 2014. The data found that in Hawaii, "minority" populations continue to constitute the majority of the state's population. According to the U.S. Census, a "minority" is someone who identifies their race and ethnicity as something other than non-Hispanic white. The data also showed that Hawaii's senior population is growing four times faster than the total population. People 65 or older accounted for approximately 16 percent of the total population in 2014, with a total of 228,154 residents. Civil Beat Minorities made up 77 percent of the state's total population. By county, Honolulu had the greatest percentage of minorities, which comprised 80.4 percent of the population. Next, minorities made up nearly 70 percent of Kauai County, followed by Hawaii and Maui counties. Asians accounted for approximately 56 percent (alone or in combination with other races) of the total state population. Honolulu County had the largest percentage of Asians, followed by Kauai, Maui and Hawaii counties. Honolulu and Kauai were the nation's only majority-Asian counties. Native Hawaiians made up 26 percent (alone or in combination with other races) of Hawaii's total population. Among the counties, Honolulu had the smallest percentage of Native Hawaiians, while Hawaii County had the largest, followed by Maui and Kauai. White people made up almost 44 percent (alone or in combination with other races) of the total state population. TheRead more
Rocks Removed, But Road Up Mauna Kea Remains Closed
The gravel road leading up to the summit of Mauna Kea has been cleared of the boulders and rock structures that protesters of the Thirty Meter Telescope project had placed in the path of construction crews Wednesday. But the road remains temporarily closed until further notice. The governor's office said in a statement Thursday that the Mauna Kea Comprehensive Management Plan authorizes the University of Hawaii to close the road in the event of hazardous conditions and emergencies. The road to the mountaintop is closed until further notice. Cory Lum/Civil Beat "Questions regarding the grading of the road leading to the summit have also been raised during this time," the governor's office said. "It is routine practice … conduct regular road gradings twice a week to ensure the safety and integrity of the road." The Mauna Kea Visitors Center is closed until further notice. Protesters prevented crews from reaching the construction site Wednesday, prompting the governor's office to announce that the project was again on hold. A dozen people were arrested for obstruction. The Associated Press reported Thursday that those arrested had posted bail and planned to return to the mountain that they say they're protecting from desecration. Mauna Kea is a sacred site to Native Hawaiians. Gov. David Ige had called a "timeout" in April after 31 people were arrested during protests of the $1.4 billion project. Wednesday marked the attempted restart of construction.Read more
US House Clears Trade Package, Another Win for Obama
President Obama is on quite the roll, eh? On Wednesday he scored big time when the U.S. Senate sent legislation to the White House approving fast-track trade authority for POTUS. On Thursday SCOTUS upheld a key part of the Affordable Care Act, Obama's key domestic accomplishment, in a 6-3 decision. Also on Thursday the U.S. House of Representatives voted 286-138 to approve a workers assistance program known as Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) "that helps workers who lose their jobs because of increased trade," as The Hill explains. POTUS on the links in Hawaii in December 2014. Cory Lum/Civil Beat Says the Capitol newspaper, "Two weeks ago, most House Democrats voted against the TAA bill because it had been combined with a measure to grant President Obama with fast-track authority, which makes it easier for the administration to finish a sweeping trade deal with Pacific Rim countries." Democrats Mark Takai and Tulsi Gabbard voted "aye" on the measure. Two more huge issues on Obama's plate coming very soon: the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage, and a deadline on the Iranian nuclear deal.Read more
Hawaii Delegates Hail Supreme Court's Obamacare Ruling
Obamacare remains the law of the land, having survived two U.S. Supreme Court rulings and some 50 attempts in the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal the landmark health insurance law. The 6-3 decision Thursday authored by Chief Justice John Roberts "is a huge victory for President Obama; it ensures that consumers purchasing health insurance on the federal exchange in roughly 34 states will continue to be able to do so," says The Hill. Hawaii's folks in Washington, D.C., agree. U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawai'i) issued the following statement on the Affordable Care Act being able to provide federal tax credits for eligible Americans in federal and state exchanges: "This decision is a victory for all Americans across the country. Because of the Affordable Care Act, more people have access to quality health care, the number of uninsured is falling, and health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in a generation. It is clear that the ACA is a success, and today's Supreme Court ruling will ensure every American will continue to have access to the quality, affordable health care they deserve. The debate is over. It's time for Congress to come together and work to build on the successes of the ACA." Here are other reactions, as captured on Twitter: The #ACA is here to stay- today's #SCOTUS ruling allows millions of Americans to continue to receive affordable health care #KingvBurwell — Senator Mazie Hirono (@maziehirono) June 25, 2015 Obamacare WINS!!!! 6-3!!!!! — Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) June 25, 2015 #SCOTUSRead more
In Big Victory for Obama, US Senate Approves Fast-Track Trade Bill
The U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to approve fast-track trade authority, "securing a big second-term legislative win for President Obama after a months-long struggle," says The Hill. Fast-track, also known as trade promotion authority, will allow the White House to send trade deals to the U.S. Congress for up-or-down votes. Just two weeks ago it seemed that Obama was headed for defeat. Most of the members of his party opposed the trade deal, arguing that it will send American jobs overseas. The north side of the White House. Cory Lum/Civil Beat But some Democrats and many Republicans said the legislation was critical to counter the influence of China in the Asia-Pacific region. Still, it was a close call. On Tuesday the Senate agreed to end debate on the bill with the bare-minimum 60 votes necessary. Wednesday's final vote was 60-to-38, with Democrats Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono on the losing end. Later on Wednesday, senators gave approval in a voice vote to a bill that includes "trade preferences for African nations and a workers assistance program known as Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)." The Hill says attention now goes toward "stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal Obama is negotiating with 11 other Pacific Rim nations."Read more

Center Dwight Howard returned to the Lakers on Saturday after receiving treatment on his ailing right shoulder in Los Angeles and will be a game-time decision to play Sunday against Detroit in Auburn Hills, Mich. Howard underwent platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy on his ailing right shoulder on Saturday morning in L.A. Lakers trainer Gary Vitti will evaluate Howard on Sunday before a decision is made on whether he will play against the Pistons. While the Lakers list Howard as a game-time decision, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday that Howard is expected to be available. "I'm not counting (on it), but I hope," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We're ready to go if not, but if (he can play) that would help, obviously." On Wednesday night against Phoenix, Howard reaggravated a torn labrum in the shoulder that forced him to miss three games in January. The Lakers lost all three of those games. Without Howard on Friday night, the Lakers were able to beat Minnesota 110-1...

Fantasy Baseball: Final Awards For 2012 Season
The 2012 fantasy baseball season was one of the most memorable seasons ever. There were broken records and even some broken hearts as well. Some familiar faces play well and some newcomers stepped into the spotlight this season.
Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera won the fantasy triple crown and ended up winning several fantasy titles in the process. His performance will live on in fantasy lore for decades to come and will certainly take some more trophies home.
A couple rookies had an immediate impact this year. Los Angeles Angels outfielder, Mike Trout, had an insane first year; he batted well over .300, hit 30 homers, and almost stole 50 bases. Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper may not have posted Trout-like numbers, but he was still fantasy relevant. Harper hit .270 and hit 22 longballs in his first action in the bigs.
As usual, pitching once again ruled fantasy baseball in 2012. Six pitchers had 20 wins or more this year and thirteen pitchers reached the 200-strikeout plateau.
The 2012 fantasy season had numerous surprises, from New York Mets knuckleballer R. A. Dickey's miracle season at 37 years old to Edwin Encarnacion blasting 42 homers and driving in 110 RBI. Even Chicago White Sox Adam Dunn had a resurgent fantasy performance, as 41 of his 110 hits this season where long balls.
To completely wrap up the 2012 fantasy season and hand out some Rant Sports hardware, here are the top fantasy award winners from this fantasy baseball season:
Breakout Player Of The Year
OF Andrew McCuthem, Pittsburgh Pirates – McCutchen matured a lot over the last season. The centerfielder batted a disappointing .259 in 2010, but shockingly brought his average all the way up to .327 this past season. McCutchen also posted a OPS of .953, was second in the National League with 107 runs scored, and stole 20 bases, which only added to his amazing roto-league potential.
The 26-year old crushed 31 home runs and drove in 98 runs in a true MVP performance. McCutchen is one of the best youngsters at the position and it is scary that he will only get better form here.
Disappointment Of The Year
SP Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants – Lincecum, being the NL Cy Young Award winner in 2008 and 2009, was a very high draft pick this past season. However, he was by far the biggest fantasy disappointment of the season.
Lincecum finished the year with a 10-15 record, 5.18 ERA, and horrendous 1.47 WHIP. He was eventually demoted to a middle reliever in the playoffs, but came back to the rotation just in time to lose game 7 to the St. Louis Cardinals after allowing 4 runs in 4.1 innings pitched. This was by far the worst performance of any players drafted within the top-20 this past preseason.
If you poll 100 people who owned Big Time Timmy Jim this past season and ask them why they lost, you will get the same response; "I lost because of Tim Lincecum!"
Performance Of The Year
OF Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers – On May 8th, Hamilton crushed a ridiculous 4 home runs, tying the MLB record for most homers in a single game. He finished the game 5-5 with 4 homers, a double, and an insane 8 RBI. Hamilton easily won thousands of fantasy matchups that week, as he put up great weekly numbers in one game.
Rookie Of The Year
OF Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels – It is not often that a rookie contends for a fantasy MVP in his first year, and the 21-year old, Trout did exactly that. Trout hit a ridiculous .326 in 2012, but even more ridiculous was his 30 home runs and 49 stolen bases. He has become the ideal fantasy keeper in any type of dynasty leagues and Trout has already matured into the big fish in a little pond.
Pitcher Of The Year
SP R. A. Dickey, New York Mets – Dickey's performance in 2012 was easily the best season from any knuckleball pitcher. Dickey boasted an incredible 20-6 record with a 2.73 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He also tossed 5 complete games, 3 of which were complete game shutouts.
In 232.2 innings of work Dickey struck out 230 batters, which was that much more impressive considering the meager 54 walks. The 37-year old journeyman showed outstanding control over a pitch that is so unpredictable, and even better he was completely overlooked in the beginning of the year. Dickey was the best pitcher of the 2012 season, not only because of his amazing stat lines, but also because he was such a great value pick this year.
Most Valuable Player
3B Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers – Miggy put together one of the most impressive performances in the history of fantasy baseball. Cabrera had an absurd .330 batting average with 44 home runs and 139 RBI, winning the American League Triple Crown. Cabrera's unthinkable numbers carried millions of fantasy owners and will be talked about for years to come.

William Shatner would like J.J. Abrams to share when it comes to his involvement in sci-fi franchises.
Movie Fanatic asked Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk in seven "Star Trek" movies and also on TV, what he thought about the director going boldly into another massive galactic franchise like "Star Wars."
"No, he's being a pig," Shatner said of Abrams directing both beloved series.
"He's collecting the two franchises and holding them close to his vest. He's probably the most talented director of that ilk that we have, but he's gone too far this time," the actor continued.
Despite his tough talk (which could very easily be Shatner's dry sense of humor at work), he considers the director a friend.
"I think of him as a buddy of mine. I've taken him out for sushi. I think it's time for J.J. and I to have another sushi and let me put him straight about two of the largest franchises and not employing me in either one of them is just foolhardy," he added.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" blasts into theaters on May 17, 2013 and "Star Wars: Episode VII" has a tentative release date of 2015.

Sticking to somewhat of a nautical theme Strange World Beyond plays to the steady drip of a leaking faucet throughout the album's 14 tracks. The full-length record by miminal sound composers Fredric Möring-Sack and Christian de Jonquières promises to transcend the current techno scene with more timeless inclinations that wander into sound experimentation. The duo succeed at achieving something which is cohesive and intelligent while at the same time managing to vaguely amuse. All this while keeping to the elusive metronome out in the ether. Piemont is club music, but the kind of club I'd like to find yourself in—classy but not too elaborate, sophisticated but not too expensive. Pay the cover, first drink's on me.

Hailing from small town Kent's Store, VA, Nick Smith quickly learned the values of hard work and independence at a young age. He always loved to sing as a boy and showed it by fulfilling the varsity choir throughout his high school career. After graduating from Fluvanna High, Nick immediately pursued a business degree while at the same time picked up a guitar to compliment his vocal's with the goal of becoming a full time entertainer one day. As persistency took it's roll, Nicks career in music moved forward just enough to endure putting together his first album EP in 2012 that did very well among new country critics. From there on Nick's songwriting and music production has since then led him to write the next piece of the puzzle which is the latest album called "Just A Preview" released June 3, 2014. Nick lives with the notion that hard work, persistence, and trials can achieve just about anything.

|Texas-born and raised country singer and multi-instrumentalist Craig Wayne Boyd, came to the public's attention when he was a contestant, and the eventual winner, on the seventh season of the television show The Voice in 2014. In the early 2000s he moved to Nashville to try for his dream of a career in the music business and soon had a publishing deal with EMI. Things looked promising. Yet Boyd, after ten years of songwriting, local gigs, national support touring, and trying everything he could to further that dream in Nashville, was on the verge of quitting music. All that changed when he auditioned for the seventh season of The Voice. Ending up on Blake Shelton's team, Boyd's singing voice, playing, and easy musical versatility made him a fan favorite, and eventually made him the overall winner. His debut album, produced by Arlis Albritton, was released in 2014. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

There's really nothing to get too excited about with this Grand Theft Auto IV patch, but even so, if you're a habitual player of the game, you're going to want to download it anyway.

"my opinion on the Grand Theft Auto downlaod"
when you first download the game it is a little choppy and slow the for about the first 20 - 30 minutes in the game but as you get into the game well the longer you play the better it gets its a lot easier downloading mods the graphics in my opinion are a little different from the Xbox or PlayStation 3 graphics overall the game runs smooth the graphics are good for computer and its a good game

Insurance plans and networks accepted by a doctor are not necessarily universal across all locations at which the doctor practices. This can be affected by many factors such as different group practices, hospital affiliations and working arrangements at those locations. Checking that the doctor you are visiting and the facility they are at are in-network providers for your insurance plan can save you money and headaches later from surprise medical bills.
Dr. Christine Szeto accepts the following plans at 201 S Buena Vista St, Burbank, CA
A hospital affiliation covers any doctor who has an affiliation, association or admitting privilege with a hospital. A doctor's particular affiliation to a specific hospital can translate to the overall quality of that provider.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

LowMemory...plist, is what diagnostics of iPad report for this process; with all the information about the virtual memory used depicted as different types of Pages; The size of the file I was trying to dowload was 39MB, eBook.
Sorry but nothing in that made much sense to me.
Sorry for being vague;
The issue: When trying to download/veiw large file, over 39MB ebook file in my case; iPad2 cam with small pop-up window: Not enough memory.
I checked General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > Diagnostic & Usage Data.
There are crash reports( e.g LatestCrash-CitrixReceiver! where happens when I was trying to use Citrix), including many,
LowMemory-2012-03-14-204745.plist files
when I choose one of these reports I see another crash report: with information about ipad,...
plus some information about different page files;
e.g. Free, Active, Inactive,....
SInce the LowMemory reports coincides with when I was downloading the lorge file and since I had the pop up menu; I guess there is something to do with memory usage of the iPad. I could not find any info about the physical memory, size or usage.
You may try to send yourself a 39MB file( word,...which can be openned) and see if it happes on your iPad.
Then we may find a solid answer for my question.

Brent storms out, before she can tell him she is pregnant with their child. Years later, Brent tries to find Lara--and at the same time finds his four-year old son, Christopher. He proposes marriage, and after some hesitation and difficulties contrived by Brent's mother, they marry. A woman with whom Brent had a casual fling years ago, tries to insinuate herself into his life again. Lara is upset, and Brent convinces her of his love. At a preview of paintings at the art gallery where Lara used to work, the artist and Lara renew their casual friendship, to Brent's indignation.

Alpa argues that the SBA improperly accepted this requirement into the 8(a) program without first determining whether acceptance would adversely impact the protester.
