Filner/Weiner: where are the "war on women" accusations?
George Will brought up a very good point on ABC's This Week this Sunday. When discussing Democrats Bob Filner and Anthony Weiner and their current problems, Will uttered the following:
"If these two people, [Mayor Bob] Filner in San Diego and [Anthony] Weiner here, were Republicans, this would be a part of a lot of somber sociology in the media about the Republican war on women."
Who has heard any hint of that? Anyone? Are you seeing it in the media? Given how the left and Democrats try to define the "war on women" would they really not include these two under that definition?
By the way, the panel on This Week got a huge cackle out of Will's utterance, because, you know, obviously his square peg just doesn't fit the round hole they have conjured in their minds.
What is the IRS scandal if not political?
Peggy Noonan makes this statement today:
What happened at the IRS is the government's essential business. The IRS case deserves and calls out for an independent counsel, fully armed with all that position's powers. Only then will stables that badly need to be cleaned, be cleaned. Everyone involved in this abuse of power should pay a price, because if they don't, the politicization of the IRS will continue—forever. If it is not stopped now, it will never stop. And if it isn't stopped, no one will ever respect or have even minimal faith in the revenue-gathering arm of the U.S. government again.
And it would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game. It's not part of the game. This is not about the usual partisan slugfest. This is about the integrity of our system of government and our ability to trust, which is to say our ability to function.
First paragraph … agree, for the most part. Where I don't agree is that there is a "minimal faith" in the revenue gathering arm of the US government. There's been little faith in it since it's inception. Most people understand that the gun is pointed at them and the prison cell is open and waiting. They don't pay taxes because of any "faith" or respect for the IRS or government. They do it out of fear.
As for the second paragraph, that's total horse hockey. Total.
The entire point of the scandal was it targeted "political" organizations. How does one not politicize it? It took place under a Democratic administration and the opponents of that party were the target of the IRS.
And what do we get from Noonan? "Hey, let's take a knife to a gun fight".
Noonan's advice is, by far, the stupidest advice one could give.
Yes, this is about the integrity of the system. And, like it or not, that is directly linked to those who administer and govern.
Ms. Noonan, who is that right now? And how, if they were doing an effective job, would this have been going on for two years. Oh, and speaking of trust, how are you with the whole AP scandal? My guess is you're wanting some heads over that.
Well, I want some heads of this. And Benghazi. And Fast and Furious.
Instead we get shrinking violets like you advising everyone to back off and not make this "political".
Why won't this administration look at this revenue source?
Because of their false agenda, that's why. They're still convinced that, despite 17 years of no warming (as recently admitted by the head of the IPCC), oil is bad and "green" is good and that they're doing something to save the world. Disregard the fact that green is still unviable. Disregard the fact that everywhere it has or is being pushed, energy costs are skyrocketing. Nevermind the fact that we are sitting on a sea of fossile fuel products that we only need to access. Screw the fact that science can find no discernable warming. Their minds are made up.
That said, there's also the fiscal side of the house. The debt. The deficit. And the demand by Democrats to raise more revenue.
Unfortunately, because of their agenda, they're likely to completely screw up a golden opportunity to bring in much more revenue and drive energy prices down, because their agenda is against fossile fuel. And we all know the party agenda comes before what is best for the country.
Enter the administration with a renewed plan to tax oil companies instead of opening access to the vast natural riches we enjoy. The result? Well this chart will help you comprehend the vast differences in the two policy choices (full size here):
So the either/or is "tax 'em or open access". The difference:
According to a 2011 study by Wood Mackenzie, increased oil and natural gas activity underpro-access policies would generate an additional $800 billion in cumulative revenue for government by 2030. The chart puts into perspective the size of these accumulating revenues – enough to fund entire federal departments at various points along the timeline. By contrast, Wood Mackenize also found that hiking taxes on oil and natural gas companies would, by 2030, result in $223 billion in cumulative lost revenue to government.
It only proves the old saw -"If you want more of it, reward it and if you want less, tax it". Think about it – money to help run government and pay down the debt (not to mention the thousands, if not millions of jobs created) being passed up in the name of false science and agenda politics.
Meanwhile, we'll be left in the cold and the dark, thanks to agenda driven policies with no foundation in reality.
And this person votes …
Really, no words from me needed:
Chicago safer than anywhere? C-section babies? And that old inconvenient Constitution and stuff. Yes indeed, let's all go for this more "modern" way of living, okay?
You'd almost think it was a parody but it isn't. Just a "proud Democrat".
So much for an informed (and semi-intelligent) electorate (and yeah, some Republicans don't get off much easier – just ask a few running for office about rape).
The myth of "collective action"
As we launch ourselves further into an era of "collective action" as Obama called it in his 2nd Inaugural address, we can be sure that reality won't stop the left from remaining true believers in its ultimate power and good and demanding it be forced on us all. But what does that really mean?
Let's hark back to Mancur Olson's critique of collective action for a moment and point out a little ground truth about it, shall we?
Olson's critique of collective action is complicated, and it is made less accessible by an ungainly prose style. But the gist is that large numbers of people do not naturally band together to secure common interests. In fact, the larger the group, the less likely it is to act in a truly collective manner.
As Olson explained, the interests that unite large groups are necessarily of the lowest-common-denominator variety. Therefore the concrete benefits of collective action to any individual are usually small compared with the costs — in time, effort and money — of participation. "Free-riding" is a constant threat — as the difficulties of collecting union dues illustrates.
By contrast, small groups are good at collective action. It costs less to organize a few people around a narrow, but intensely felt, shared concern. For each member, the potential benefits of joint action are more likely to outweigh the costs, whether or not success comes at the larger society's expense.
Now, to me, that's common sense. The bigger the group the more unlikely it will find common ground than a smaller group. So urging a nation of 300 million to a common effort or collective action? Yeah, not going to happen – at least in the areas Obama is likely to want to make such an effort.
That's not to say that collective action won't happen. It happens everyday in DC as Charles Lane points out:
Hence, the housing lobby, the farm lobby and all the special-interest groups that swarm Congress. Hence, too, the conspicuous absence of an effective lobby on behalf of all taxpayers or, for that matter, all poor people.
If there is any "collective action" that will take place in DC, besides those noted, it will be among the politicians who band together (and break apart) depending on what they're after this week or next. Their constituency? Not that big of a concern to most. Those that reside inside the beltway are more likely on their radar than those who voted to put them in office.
So when Obama called on Americans to once again act "as one nation, and one people," he was, at best, stating an aspiration.
No he's not – he's mouthing platitudes to calm the masses, put the opposition on the defensive and set himself up to get his way. And this is how that will work:
Olson's assessment of reality, both historical and contemporary, is less lofty but more accurate: "There will be no countries that attain symmetrical organization of all groups with a common interest and thereby attain optimal outcomes through comprehensive bargaining."
Nope. It will be the group/party that is able to appeal the best to the masses and thereby garner more of a veneer of support for their agenda than can the other party/group, whether or not the ultimate goal of the action is good for the country or the majority or not. Whether it really benefits the country as a whole usually has little bearing on the effort. And the minority? Well, they're simply left hanging in the wind.
Their call for "collective action" is a cover, a means of draping the usual politics in high sounding rhetoric. The reality of the situation is that what he calls "collective action" is simply a new code phrase for continued class warfare and redistribution of income. The purpose of proposing "collective action" is to enable him and his cronies to label anyone who opposes them and their actions as divisive, unpatriotic and just about any other name they can think of necessary to demonize and dismiss them.
Meanwhile, the "collective" dismantling of this once great country will continue apace.
Tax on the rich? Boy it didn't take long to spend that, did it?
Remember, this "tax fairness" was something which was going to solve our fiscal problems, if you listened to the left's claim that is. However, reality is fairly brutal and usually doesn't much pay attention to rhetoric based in lies and stupidity. Case in point:
Congress is poised to clear the final $50 billion chunk of emergency aid for Superstorm Sandy relief Monday — and in one vote, it will have used up all the new tax money President Obama won by raising rates on the wealthy in the "fiscal cliff" deal.
The "cliff" … well they're busily engaged in trying to see if they can kick the can nearer the edge and, by the way, make the "cliff" a little higher while they do that by raising the debt limit … again.
Meanwhile, let's talk about immigration, gun bans and whatever else our "leaders" can think of to distract us from this pending disaster.
Union membership continues to decline
Yup, it is on a downward spiral. When actually given a choice (you know, the thing the left claims everyone should have?), many people opt out:
Government figures released Wednesday showed union membership declined from 11.8 percent to 11.3 percent of the workforce, another blow to a labor movement already stretched thin by battles in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and other states to curb bargaining rights and weaken union clout.
Overall membership fell by about 400,000 workers to 14.4 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than half the loss, about 234,000, came from government workers, including teachers, firefighters and public administrators.
Funny that. We talk about monopolies, but monopolies don't work when government doesn't prop them up, and, as pointed out, when government withdraws its sanction and force, when real choice is allowed, people will opt out.
And, of course, it's not just the government sector where unions are losing members:
But unions also saw losses in the private sector even as the economy created 1.8 million new jobs in 2012. That membership rate fell from 6.9 percent to 6.6 percent, a troubling sign for the future of organized labor, as job growth generally has taken place at nonunion companies.
Unions are an anachronism … they just won't admit it yet. And, for the next 4 years at least, they're still going to have political power because of who is in the White House.
But as more and more states become right to work, and the jobless see employers migrating to those states, I think the "market" will take care of itself – if the government will let it.
Just in cased you missed it, our problem STILL isn't revenue
I continue to be stunned by the apparent willingness of all involved on the left to whistle past the graveyard when it comes to understanding what our fiscal governmental problem is and how to fix it. Here … let's try a picture:
Oh, look … it's spending. Specifically, spending on entitlements and interest on the money we've borrowed to do so. And what are we talking about cutting? The military, of course. Because, you know, it is in the blue slice of the pie. Make sense?
Pac Man's revenge. By 2050, he will have swallowed all of the blue.
But, hey, it's "absurd" to argue about raising the debt limit. By the way, does anyone remember when Sen. Obama declared that raising the debt limit signaled a failure in leadership?
Ahem …
Should we ban "assault" hammers?
Because they kill more than all rifles each year, including "assault rifles".
In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618.
And so the list goes, with the actual numbers changing somewhat from year to year, yet the fact that more people are killed with blunt objects each year remains constant.
For example, in 2011, there was 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs.
Where is DiFi when you need her. License hardware stores. Register hammers. And get those nasty looking "assault hammers" off the market.
And by the way, there is no right to a hammer, is there? No Second Amendment for hammers or clubs. Where are the Democrats on this?
By the way, I assume you can do the math concerning the minute number of deaths in the US by rifle and figure out that for the most part it would be considered statistical noise if we were talking about anything else.
ObamaCare tax a "job killer" say 16 Democrats who voted for it
Finally figuring it out? Or finally admitting it?
Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed. Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a "job-killing tax" — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field.
The senators, who made the request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are Franken, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, John Kerry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Joseph Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Robert Casey, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski, Kay Hagan, Herb Kohl, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal. All voted for Obamacare.
In the letter they say:
"The medical technology industry directly employs over 400,000 people in the United States and is responsible for a total of two million skilled manufacturing jobs," the senators wrote in a December 4 letter to Reid. "We must do all we can to ensure that our country maintains its global leadership position in the medical technology industry and keeps good jobs here at home."
For whatever reason, however, these 16 can't seem to understand how what they're claiming here applies across the board to all taxes. That is, they're job killers. ObamaCare's taxes and mandates are particularly pernicious because they have many companies trying to figure out how to avoid them and that will mean fewer jobs, not more and certainly more costs in general.
But then no one ever said our political leadership was particularly sharp. After all, somehow Maxine Waters is about to become the ranking member (senior Democrat) on the House Financial Services committee and Harry Reid remains the Majority Leader in the Senate.
Of course ObamaCare is full of job killing taxes as we've all become aware, and many of them will hit this year. Add those to the "fiscal cliff" tax increases as well as sequestration and you can bet the Dems will see their "pro-choice" agenda fulfilled this next year – any developing economic recovery will be quickly aborted as exactly all the wrong things government can do to kill such a recover are done.

LOS ANGELES -- If this series existed in a vacuum, with no news conferences and no headline-making legal documents, we could listen to Boston coach Doc Rivers' summary of the Lakers' victory in Game 3 Tuesday and just move on.
"I thought they were the more aggressive team all night," Rivers said. "To me that was the reason."
Because this game came after a full day of focusing on Boston's 38-10 advantage in free-throw attempts in Game 2, and on the same day the unkillable Tim Donaghy scandal delivered another blast that included an allegation of playoff games fixed by officials, it's not as simple as Lakers 87, Celtics 81.
Not even Rivers could resist throwing another log into the ugly story line burning on the side of this series. When Phil Jackson's name was included in a question, Rivers sarcastically said, "I'm just surprised he didn't whine about fouls tonight."
No, Jackson didn't have a word to say about the officials after this one. No reason to, after the Lakers shot 22 free throws to Boston's seven in the first half, and 34 to 24 overall. Maybe it's because after all the yearning for trips to the free-throw line, the Lakers didn't do much once they got there, missing 13 of their 34 attempts (62 percent).
Still, Bryant couldn't resist one last reference to Game 2 while discussing his own dismal 11-for-18 night at the line.
"At least I got there," he said.
He got there because he spent the bulk of his time in the paint this game instead of settling for the jump shot. As always, the Celtics committed multiple defenders to him. Only this time he was able to find his way to the gaps in the defense, taking half of his 20 shots from inside the paint, in addition to drawing all those fouls.
"I just went," Bryant said. "Took it to them. I just went and just had the confidence that once I get in there I'll be able to make the right play and hopefully some of the whistles will go our way a little bit tonight, get to the free-throw line. If they collapse, I hit my shooters.
"They did a great job in Boston of just zoning and not having to help too much. That's something I wanted, to put their defense in jeopardy a little bit more than we did in Boston."
The Lakers still have their issues, most notably the lack of production from their starting frontline. Not even a return to Staples Center could bring out the best in Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol, who combined for 13 points.
They should be concerned that even in Los Angeles the Celtics determined the style of play, and it still feels like it's the Celtics' series. They were within two points in the final two minutes despite all the Laker free throws, and despite a combined 8-for-35 shooting by Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Pierce's postgame analysis sounded a lot like Rivers, to the point that you wonder if Rivers told his guys not to mention the officials.
"It's the way [the Lakers] played," Pierce said. "They were very aggressive, especially Kobe early."
It finally got to Odom in the late stages. He seemed to be napping throughout most of the night. At one point, as he stared into space during a timeout, fellow New Yorker Spike Lee clapped his hands, got his attention and urged him to get it together.
Odom made two strong drives in the final 5½ minutes. Even though Odom didn't get the basket either that time, Gasol followed up both misses and the Lakers protected their slim lead long enough for Bryant to bring them home with the final two Laker baskets of the game.

No picture... No DICE
Lets see…. Well I like to think that I have a passion for life, and do my best to take full advantage of everyday. When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my friends family, working out, and experiencing new things. If I had an unlimited amount of funds I would take off and travel the world to see what crazy things I could experience and memories I could make. My friends would describe me as a true friend, someone they know they can always count on. I love meeting new people, and pretty much get along with everyone. I have experienced many awesome things in my life thus far, and am ready to meet someone whom I can create new experiences with. Who I am looking for: I would like to meet someone who is kind hearted, driven, likes to have fun, and is up for an adventure. I am also not looking to just jump in to a relationship, I am looking to get to know someone, and see what develops. Its all about finding the right one, not the next one!

At Simms, sun protection is a critical component of our sportswear offering. Through a combination of fabric construction, design and finish, we offer a wide range of clothing that features a minimum UPF of 30 (very good) up to UPF of 50 (excellent). UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed. A fabric with a rating of 50 will allow only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays to pass through. This means the fabric will reduce your skin's UV radiation exposure significantly. All of our UPF finishes last the life of the garment, an industry standard of 30 washings.

Just as we saw ourselves as citizens of New York; Washington, D.C., and Somerset County, Pa., on that fateful September day in 2001, we have all become Bostonians, grieving for those who lost their lives or lie injured in hospital rooms across the city, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings.

I nearly died one week to my 70th birthday— Oba Olateru Olagbegi III
Oba David Victor Folagbade Olateru-Olagbegi III, the Olowo of Owo[CFR] turned 70 two weeks ago. During a thanksgiving service to mark the day, the traditional ruler narrated how he had a close shave with death a week to joining the septuagenarian club. Taiwo Abiodun was there
There was pin drop silence as the celebrator stood up to give his speech. Though no one knew exactly what he was about to say, not a few in the crowd believed the Olowo of Owo's speech would dwell more on giving praises to God for sparing his life up till 70 and perhaps thank his subjects and the guests present for gracing the occasion.
But when it was time for him to speak, the Olowo recounted an incident that almost claimed his life just a week to his 70th birthday. "About seven days ago, I was travelling towards Ibadan to attend a function. It was a smooth journey until suddenly the tyre of my car burst on high speed, while the air conditioner and the battery too exploded. That was all I remembered until I found myself being attended to by medical doctors at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. Much later, I was discharged, but I knew I wasn't perfectly okay. So, I went to the Redemption Camp where the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye prayed for me and I got fully healed''
Before the unfortunate incident, preparations were in top gear for the birthday of Oba David Victor Folagbade Olateru-Olagbegi II1. Within the ancient town of Owo and beyond, many had looked forward to the D-day with excitement. But as it turned out, fate had other plans. After the incident occurred, all preparations for the celebration were put on hold.
But as news of the postponement hit town, rumour peddlers went to work spreading tales that the royal father had passed on. Expectedly, Owo town was thrown into confusion, with both the young and adults making calls to ascertain the authenticity of the rumour. It turned out to be a hoax.
Oba Olagbegi has been likened to a cat with nine lives. While some are quick to compare him with the Biblical David whom God loved, others call him Victor, who is always victorious. It is interesting that he bears these names in real life.
On the occasion, His Royal Majesty was dressed in an embroidered blue Aso oke Yoruba traditional flowing gown [agbada], with his neck adorned with two special beads and a long sparkling gold necklace chain. He completed his royal outfit with gold rings on his fingers that shone like stars and a sparkling fully beaded walking stick.
As the Oba walked majestically into the church for the thanksgiving service, hundreds of people struggled to catch a glimpse of him.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God [RCCG], Ondo Province 3 headquarters, Pentecostal Parish located at Okedogbon , Owo in Ondo State was filled to the brim, as family members, friends, associates and well wishers came around to felicitate with the king. Present also, were royal fathers from across Ondo State, and dignitaries, that included the state Deputy Governor, Alhaji Olanusi, other senior government officials, top clergymen and notable politicians across party divides.
Born on the 26th of June 1941, Oba David Folagbade Olateru Olagbegi III ascended the throne on the 21st of February 1999.
After his elementary and secondary education at the Government Primary School and Imade College, he attended to Poole College, Poole Dorset for his Ordinary and Advanced Level certificates. From there he went to read Law at Holborn College of Law and Grays. Inn, London where he graduated with a Bachelors degree in Law in 1968.He returned home and went to Law School where he was called to the Bar.
He began his legal practice in 1969 in the chambers of Chief Frederick Rotimi Alade Williams [SAN] for six years until he joined the Nigerian Law School in July 1, 1975 as a lecturer from where he rose to the position of Secretary to the Council of Legal Education and Director of Administration until he retired voluntarily in 1999.

The Goddess of GlassRead MoreMost students in introductory stained-glass-making classes are in search of a new hobby or a fun few hours, but not Connie Beckers. In 1995, she took such a course and soon built a career around the art of stained glass and kiln-working. Now, through The Goddess of Glass, she teaches others her craft during classes that cover the creation of jewelry, coasters, plates, and transparent overalls. She?s also been known to flex her instructional muscle as a guest artist on the DIY Network show I Hate my Kitchen, on the episode entitled Cramped Quarters, where she taught the show?s host and contractor how to make stained-glass tiles for a kitchen in the middle of remodeling. The Goddess of Glass also sells artwork and gifts out of a separate retail shop. Patrons can commission a custom piece, such as a stained-glass window, or peruse a collection of pieces by more than 80 local artisans. The shop?s staff can also advise clients who need custom framing, helping them to pick the proper matting and frame so that their Richard Nixon rookie cards really pop.3243 Girard Ave N.Minneapolis, MN US

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - JANUARY 30: Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan of the USA hold aloft the championship trophy after winning their men's doubles final match against Daniel Nestor of Canada and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia during day thirteen of the 2010 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 30, 2010 in Melbourne, Australia. (Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images)
Mike and Bob Bryan have one more Olympic Games left in them at Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and then they plan to finally stop playing. And maybe relax. The Bryan brothers have little left to accomplish on the tennis court. They've won 12 Grand Slam titles, finished No. 1 for eight of the past 10 years, and competed in three Olympic Games, winning gold last year in London. But the chance to defend that gold will keep them in the sport for three more years. ''I think that's where we see the finish line. We'll be 38. We'd like to maybe go out at that spot,'' Mike Bryan said. ''And then we'll sail off into the sunset.'' ''Maybe just stay in Rio for the rest of our lives,'' Bob chimed in. ''Check into a motel on the beach and drink some margaritas.'' The Bryans stayed on track for a possible 13th Grand Slam doubles title by beating Daniele Bracciali and Lukas Dlouhy 6-3, 7-5 Wednesday to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open. They next face the Italian team of Simone Bolelli and F...

According to cbssports.com BJ upton has agreed with the Braves.
I am absolutely okay with this.
5/75, IMO is too much for his actual production. Also, this may get the ball rolling as far as the free agent outfielders and this is another outfield need filled. The more the demand goes down, the lower the price for guys like Victorino or Ludwick.
Indeed, this is good news... I cannot believe the Reds were even entertaining looking at him with his Strikeouts... I mean, we have the same player in Stubbs who can probably hit 25 HR if he could figure out how to cut down his own strikeouts by 25%...
So now, I hope the Reds trade for Justin Upton but I doubt they will.
Why is this good news? Atlanta fills a hole but doesn't that just create one in Tampa? And when a team overpays doesn't that up the market for other outfielders?
As far as the overpaying part, it does not necessarily set the market. Free agent values are often determined by comparables. Who is a comparable for Upton? Under 30 years old, 25 homers, 30 steals, below .300 OBP. I'm guessing they used Ian Kinsler's 5/75 extension as a baseline giving him points for playing a premium position but taking some away for his low average and OBP.
If the other OFers on the market were comparable to Upton, I'd be worried, but since guys like Hamilton, Bourn, Victorino, Ludwick, Ichiro, Pagan and Ross are different types of players, it should not significantly inflate their value.
I hope that doesn't set a precedent.
It probably will. Still, what this team needs is a consistent middle of the order hitter like Ludwick or a high-OBP leadoff hitter that doesn't strike out too much. Jay Bruce is nice, but a team can only have so many high-strikeout guys like him. I'm glad we didn't put up that kind of money for this guy.
Chip Caray will sure have fun with him. BJ is inconsistent and lazy, somebody that I'm fine with the Reds not having.
Glad it wasnt us, his ego doesnt match his actual production.
I already am tired of the Upton brothers playing together rumors. Its been mentioned today's move is to free up salary to take on Justin's contract.

Mayor Brown Announces Key Paving Project Near UB South Campus In Buffalo
July 2, 2015 - Hard hit stretch of Main Street is included in the $9 million citywide paving program for 2015; city crews are on target to meet Mayor's commitment to pave 75 residential streets
Mayor Byron W. Brown and other partners in government gathered along a stretch of Main Street, hard hit during the winter months, for the official kick-off to the city's annual paving program. Work is now underway on Main Street, between Bailey Avenue and Kenmore Avenue near UB South Campus, as part of the city's $9 million citywide paving program. City crews continue to make progress on nearly a half dozen other major roadway construction projects.
"As we continue to build a city of opportunity in Buffalo where economic growth continues, we will continue to invest in infrastructure citywide," said Mayor Brown. "Today, I announced that a stretch of Main Street near the UB South Campus, heavily damaged during the harsh winter, was included in our $9 million citywide paving program. Work is now underway. I thank my partners in government for helping us secure funding for this and other significant infrastructure projects."
The $9 million earmarked for the city's annual paving program is distributed equally among council districts. After a harsh winter, the paving program was modified slightly to address much-needed resurfacing, like the Main Street area near UB South Campus, to ensure roads are even safer for city residents and visitors in Buffalo.
"Through collaborative efforts, federal highway funding, combined with a solid commitment from Mayor Brown to help rebuild Buffalo's infrastructure, we are putting people to work and creating real progress throughout the City," said Congressman Brian Higgins. "Ongoing Buffalo road projects alone are underway today thanks to more than $30 million in federal dollars."
"The City of Buffalo and the New York State Department of Transportation continue to collaborate on efforts to improve Buffalo's infrastructure - together," said State Assembly Member Crystal Peoples-Stokes. "The Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) provides essential resources to municipalities throughout the state. With economic growth continuing in Buffalo, we need to ensure that residents, tourists, employees, and students have faith in the city's infrastructure. In Buffalo, winters can damage the roadways we rely on and it is important to keep them safe and maintained during the warmer months." Read More...

Buffalo residents should be aware that the Department of Public Works Engineering Garage will be closed the first Saturday of the month in July because of the holiday.
All items will be disposed or recycled in a responsible and environmentally safe manner. For more information, please call 311 or 851-4890.

Mayor Brown Launches a Design Contest in Buffalo
June 26, 2015 - Mayor Byron Brown, joined today by representatives from IBM and LAMAR Advertising, launched an open design contest for graphic artists, design teams and students to develop a logo that will identify the advertising campaign that will help foster, cultivate and preserve the culture of diversity, inclusion, fairness and equality in Buffalo. The logo competition seeks a visual identity for the City of Buffalo Opportunity Pledge, which Mayor Brown announced during his State of the City address in February. The City of Buffalo Opportunity Pledge is an important component of Mayor Brown's collaborative effort to celebrate the diversity of the city of Buffalo, and to ensure that all city residents and businesses benefit from the city's rising prosperity.
"We are seeking ideas from Buffalo residents, artists, graphic designers, students and the general public to come up with a creative, innovative and professional logo design to illustrate the concept behind the City of Buffalo Opportunity Pledge," said Mayor Brown. "The logo should be recognizable and distinct, a symbol of the city's values, and a reflection of the growth and opportunity that we are experiencing throughout Buffalo. By fostering a citywide mindset that embraces diversity and inclusion as core values and strengths, we move toward realizing our potential. This logo design contest is a tremendous opportunity to join a community-wide initiative that is moving Buffalo toward the goal of shared prosperity for all residents. I thank IBM and Lamar Advertising for their valuable contributions to our City, for being among the first businesses to take and promote the Opportunity Pledge, and for the generous awards they have offered for the winners of this design contest."
Jay Goodwyn, IBM Buffalo Innovation Center (IBIC), Executive Director, stated, " IBM's enduring commitment to diversity is one of the reasons we can credibly say that IBM is one of the world's leading globally integrated enterprises. IBM enthusiastically supports Mayor Brown's opportunity pledge. We live by the values of diversity and inclusion every day at IBM, where diversity it is a core belief and a key ingredient that enables us to be successful as a company. We are very pleased to be part of Mayor Brown's diversity initiative and proud to be here today in support of the Buffalo Opportunity Pledge. Beth Stubbe, IBM's Talent Development Manager, and I have both signed the pledge and encouraged others at the IBM Buffalo Innovation Center to do the same.". Read More....
Mayor Brown Names New Director Of The Buffalo employment and Training Center
June 23, 2015 - Demone Smith to lead efforts to provide career training for city and county residents, meet workforce needs of local employers
Today, Mayor Byron W. Brown announced the appointment of Demone Smith as the director of the Buffalo Employment and Training Center (BETC) – the agency responsible for workforce development initiatives responsive to the needs of City of Buffalo and Erie County employers and job seekers. This appointment will be effective upon Smith's resignation from the Buffalo Common Council on Friday, June 26, 2015.
"Demone Smith is a seasoned professional and his 15 plus years of experience working with all levels of government, community members, organizations and city residents will play a key role in forming new partnerships that will further ensure Buffalo's workforce system meets the needs of our growing economy," said Mayor Brown.
As executive director, Smith will oversee all aspects of BETC's workforce development, training and placement system, a critically important position to the City of Buffalo's overall economic development and job growth plan for Buffalo's future as a desirable and competitive place to live, work, invest and visit. With over $5 billion in new economic development activity underway, which is expected to create over 12,000 jobs, Smith is responsible for the oversight of the Buffalo Employment and Training Center (BETC) that brings together a variety of workforce development organizations and partner agencies with a primary goal of working to prepare today's new workforce in Buffalo for tomorrow's employment opportunities.
"I am enthusiastic and honored to serve as executive director of BETC," said Smith. "I share Mayor Brown's vision to further grow Buffalo into a city of opportunity where everyone can benefit from Buffalo's job growth by obtaining 21st century skills in expanding sectors of our local economy. I am fully committed to ensuring that every resident has a clear pathway to career-readiness and a good job."
As Buffalo celebrates its existing strengths in business and employment, it continues to diversify and build on new strengths through emerging technologies, such as healthcare, biosciences and high-tech industries. Smith will help City of Buffalo residents navigate training and job applications and connect qualified candidates to job opportunities in Buffalo and the Buffalo area. Read More...
Mayor Brown Announces That A Major Downtown Stakeholder Adds To The Momentum At 201 Ellicott Street
June 16, 2015 - City of Buffalo incorporates Erie Community College's plan for enhanced downtown space into the development process for the future use of a city-owned parking lot that also seeks to attract a grocery store to downtown Buffalo
As part of his commitment to continue the significant investment and job growth that is happening across the City of Buffalo, Mayor Byron W. Brown was pleased to announce today that Erie Community College (ECC) has become a key stakeholder in the City of Buffalo's 201 Ellicott Street project, providing the development community with an even greater opportunity to transform a prime downtown parcel that is ready for redevelopment.
"Erie Community College is one of Buffalo's higher education institutions and plays an important role in our city's economic growth," said Mayor Brown. "By incorporating ECC's plan to add a new downtown building into the city's 201 Ellicott Street project, we are enhancing the overall scope of this project by bringing the successful developer an anchor tenant who is looking to bolster its downtown presence."
Initially, the City of Buffalo released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 201 Ellicott Street, a city-owned property on May 8, 2015. Since then, ECC has reached out to the city and requested to be part of the formal process to determine if 201 Ellicott meets its future space needs. Given this new opportunity, the City of Buffalo, in incorporating ECC's plan into the 201 Ellicott Street development process, issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) today to identify a Developer to be designated for the site. The issuance of the RFQ replaces the RFP released in May.
"Ongoing planning for the future of many of ECC's academic and non-academic programs has illustrated the need for enhanced downtown space," said ECC President Jack Quinn. "We believe that being involved in this RFQ will not only assist the college in its pursuit of such space, but will also eventually help us bolster programmatic offerings across a reimagined City Campus. We're excited about the ongoing redevelopment of downtown Buffalo and we're committed to continuing as a vital part of the city's present and future."
201 Ellicott Street is owned by the City of Buffalo and is currently used as a surface parking lot. Downtown Buffalo is experiencing tremendous growth with an increase in demand for both apartment and condominium residential units. There is also a greater demand for retail offerings with the influx of new residents to downtown as well as a growing workforce population. This growth provides the opportunity to put 201 Ellicott Street to a higher and better use.
Mayor Brown's Office of Strategic Planning is seeking qualifications from interested developers to demonstrate their capacity to develop a mixed-use development project that includes a full line grocery store, a significant residential element (with a possibility for condominiums), and a required parking ramp. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process will result in the City designating a Developer for 201 Ellicott Street.
As part of developing a mixed-use project for the site, the designated Developer will be asked to engage in a master planning process with Erie Community College "ECC". ECC, a major Downtown stakeholder, is currently in the process of developing a plan to determine the future space needs of the college; in terms of programs and locations. A major part of that work will focus on an enhanced ECC presence downtown. The Developer will be required to work with ECC through its master planning process to determine if ECC's needs can be incorporated into the mixed-use project at 201 Ellicott Street. Read More...
Mayor Brown Kicks-Off 14th Annual Reading Rules!
May 6, 2015 - Mayor Byron Brown, joined by students from PS #94 West Hertel Academy, kicked off the Mayor's annual Reading Rules! Kids Summer Reading Challenge. The summer program, now in its 14th year, is designed to help students maintain and improve their reading and writing skills during the summer months.
"I strongly believe that regular reading keeps academic skills sharp, inspires curiosity, and best of all, fosters young people to become lifelong readers and learners," said Mayor Brown. "I'm pleased that so many of our city youth take part in my summer reading challenge and I encourage others to join the fun so we can get more books into the homes of children and keep them reading and learning during the summer."
"Reading Rules!" began in 2001, when Mayor Brown served in the New York State Senate, as a way to address the literacy problem in New York State, specifically in Buffalo and Western New York. Mayor Brown started the literacy effort to encourage schoolchildren to read books throughout the summer, and submit written summaries of each book they had read.

Per MLBTR: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/cincin...eds/index.html
Was a better bargain than Andruw Jones signed this winter? The White Sox added him on a one-year deal worth $500K, and all he's given them so far is a batting line of .260/.360/.604......
....Cincinnati has seen Drew Stubbs struggle in center field so far; he's hitting just .196/.283/.321. It shouldn't be hard to convince Dusty Baker to play the veteran Jones over Stubbs, either. It's not clear that Jones is still an every day center fielder, but Chicago has already played him there four times in 2010.

Medicare Consumer-Directed Health Plan: Medicare MSAs and HSA-like Plans in 2007
Medicare Consumer-Directed Health Plan: Medicare MSAs and HSA-like Plans in 2007
This March 2007 issue brief, commissioned by the Kaiser Family Foundation, examines the development of consumer-directed health plans in the Medicare program. Medicare Medical Savings Account plans have high deductibles accompanied by a personal savings account that can be used to pay for medical expenses. The paper examines how such plans operate in Medicare, how they differ from other types of Medicare Advantage plans and the potential implications for Medicare beneficiaries who enroll in them. It describes the three such plans currently available, which collectively enroll fewer than 3,000 beneficiaries. Beth Fuchs and Lisa Potetz of Health Policy Alternatives authored the paper.
