About 450 attend Citgo meetings
Company's attorney denounces actions as inciting lawsuits
Almost 450 people showed up to two town hall meetings held this week by officials from the Justice Department's Environmental Crimes Section.
Officials sought to identify people who might have been affected by Citgo Refining and Chemicals Co. on Nueces Bay Boulevard. In June, Citgo was found guilty on two felony counts of operating two oil/water separator tanks without roofs, which are required by federal law.
This was the first time a refinery had been found guilty by a jury of a criminal offense. Sentencing has been rescheduled for sometime in December. Citgo attorneys have said they plan to appeal.
Of the 450 attendees, about 240 filled out victim impact statements, which department officials will forward to the U.S. Probation Office. The office is assisting the U.S. District Court with a pre-sentencing investigation.
Howard P. Stewart, lead prosecutor for the Environmental Crimes Section, said there are no more meetings planned before the sentencing, but there is a possibility for more.
Dick DeGuerin, an attorney for Citgo, said the meetings were nothing short of barratry, or the practice of inciting lawsuits. He said he has written a request for copies of the statements and plans to file a motion before the court if need be.
"Citgo is very proud of its record in settling claims," DeGuerin said. "If someone has a legitimate claim, Citgo goes out of its way to substantiate and settle the claim. People just don't like that a refinery smells bad."
Odors are not a chief concern to at least one Hillcrest resident. Gloria McChester has lived near Citgo's East Plant for all of her 61 years.
She says it's no longer safe to walk in her yard barefoot, as she used to love to do, because of pollutants she claims came from the refinery.
"I had high levels of lead in my blood and my doctor determined it was because of walking around my back yard," said McChester, who attended Wednesday's afternoon meeting at Oveal Williams Senior Living Center. "I just don't understand how (Citgo) can say they don't affect us, when we're the ones sick at the doctor's office."

Roberto Mancini has conceded the Premier League title but says he will be at Manchester City next season to try to win it back.
Champions City will go into Saturday's home game with Newcastle 18 points behind Manchester United, if the leaders win at Sunderland in the day's early game.
Mancini insists City's focus now should be holding off a challenge from London duo Chelsea and Tottenham for the runners-up spot.
He said: "It's over, but this doesn't change anything because we should do our best from now to the end.
"Every top team, when you can't win a title, you should try to play well, try to win all the games, and we have the FA Cup semi-final.
"We have Chelsea four points behind, Tottenham five points behind and we play another nine games. For this reason it's important to keep working hard."
The future of Mancini and midfielder Yaya Toure continue to be questioned in the press, and newspaper reports on Thursday suggested the Italian has been earmarked as the man to revive Monaco's fortunes.
Asked about the link, Mancini said: "Monaco is one of the best teams in the French Second Division and they have a good manager. I'll stay here for a long time - like Yaya!"
"Yaya will stay here for a long time. Yaya is one of the best players in the world and he will stay here for another three, four, five (years), I don't know. A long time."

Indianapolis Motor Speedway isn't just Helio Castroneves' favorite place to win an Izod IndyCar Series race. It has the fencing he most enjoys climbing.
No, really.
"Because it's Indy," the three-time Indianapolis 500 winner said in his first full-scale evaluation of series-wide fencing. "But you've got to be careful. (When) the whole team climbs with you . . . if you grab the cables behind the fence it squeezes your hand." ...

Recipe by TENS100
"This is a wonderful rum drink with lime and grenadine. It's great for any occasion. If this recipe seems too easy, well it is, but the drink is incredibly enjoyable and worth the lack of trouble!"

4 fluid ounces
1 liter
lime soda
4 fluid ounces
grenadine syrup
lime, juiced
lime, sliced
maraschino cherries
This is a delicious drink - very tasty and thirst-quenching, but the recipe needed some adjustment. When scaled to one serving only 2T rum was called for in a pint of soda. I just used the measurements listed as a guideline. What I did: a large water glass, 4 ice cubes, a shot of rum, 2T grenadine, 1/4 lime, juiced; and then filled the glass with lime soda. You could not taste the rum at all and it was very delicious.
This is a nice summery drink, but as written it is waaaay too sweet (and I like sweet drinks!). I recommend halving the amount of grenadine.
29 Ratings
This is a wonderful and simple drink. You can't imagine how great this drink is. It is a wonderful summer drink and I HIGHLY recommend buying the ingredients and trying it. It deserves 10 stars!!!
Loved these, use more cherries, to soak in the drink, yum. thanks.
Yum! Made this over the weekend of the Fourth and used Sierra Mist soda, which would be the only thing I change for the next time - that soda tends to taste flat sooner than most. I actually took the cherries and marinated them in vodka prior to garnishing the drinks with them. Everyone got a nice POP once they were to the end of the drink. I also halved the amount of grenadine per the advice of others.
Yep - this was tasty. I love cherry limeades...especially from Sonic, but there's no Sonic within a reasonable distance around here so I always make my own. I juiced 2 limes since I like a sour taste and went easy on the rum...I didn't want to see double! I added some of the cherry juice which really sent this over the top. Will keep this drink in mind for summer. Thanks a bunch :)
This is so good! You really can't taste the rum at all. The flavor is really yummy and fruity.
This tastes EXACTLY like a cherry limeade ( & I'm an expert on the subject!) I did cut wayyy back on the grenadine...I don't think it needs more than an ounce & a half.
Hard to believe, but many kids will be back in school at the end of the month. Get ready.

I wear 7 1/2, but this shoe in a 7 1/2 fit like I was wearing an 8 or 8 1/2! I am returning the shoes of course, but hope there are a pair left to fit so I can reorder. The shoe also seemed a little wide, but I'm not sure if that's because they were so large in size or not. Seemed to be a very comfortable shoe though, and very lightweight. ... read more
All up, I have four Firebirds in various colours. I love them all, the length is the only thing I could possibly pick on, only because it's a woman's cut and obviously shorter than the mens version, which my husband has a couple of too! I am a standard Aussie size 8, but always buy these in the size 10 as I find it has just that little bit of extra room around the chest and shoulders for me. Basically, if you want to wear nothing more than a singlet under your Firebird, get the 8, if you want that tiny bit more room for something thin underneath with sleeves; allow yourself the size up. Another slight difference between the mens and womens is that the sleeve cuffs are slightly longer on the girls, but it's a look I love and not uncomfortable in any way, just a point of difference. Bring on more colour options like your mens range has please! ... read more
Get a half size smaller. I'm a 6, tried this in the black and white versions. Both were definitely about an inch too long of empty space lengthwise for toes. I tried the 5.5 and it was perfect. I'm not crazy about the gloss pieces on the white version, it's okay on the black. Love the big logo on the tongue. This is a cool hi-top, exactly what I was looking (just really wish they didn't use the gloss.) My right foot is a hair bigger than my left foot and often I've felt shoes were tight on me or just right. This one, definitely go HALF a size down. You can see they look too big if you get your normal size. The width is perfect. I once tried a Stella McCartney slipper, size 6 and that was literally one size too big. Love these, you should try them on first if you're at a store. ... read more
I absolutely love this. Its great! It is not too small, & it is not too big. It fit perfectly. I measured myself, & was an extra small, but i thought it wouldn't hurt to have a little cute, baggy look. & its great! Better than i had expected. The other comment completely scared me when i bought it. Don't worry, if you measure yourself by the measure chart, you'll be perfectly fine. :) ... read more
These are my very first Adidas shoes! I wanted a pair so badly for Christmas but they every time I went on internet they were sold out. Finally I got to buy it and I am so happy that a found my size (7) available. I wore them y I cant take it off they are absolutely amazing, very comfortable, and goes with everything! I'm glad that I have them and definitely going to buy more because they are amazing. PS. My husband was right about how amazing they are. ... read more
They don't look like much online, but in person they are superb. I am 5'9 and 130 athletic build and I had t buy the XS because they waist was so large on the S. Huge difference between the XS and S. I love these pants. I am going to dress them up with some heels. They can be casual but the material allows for you to dress them up as well. Love them. ... read more
I ordered these in a size 7 1/2 because that is my normal shoe size but they fit me too big. So I probably should have gotten a 7 or 6 1/2. One thing I was disappointed about was the color. In the photos of the shoes they look like army green colors but once I got them they were emerald green and almost neon green. They are still pretty nice but the colors don't work for me. ... read more
The shoes itself are very clean. The material has kind of a smooth, buttery feel to it & the 3M makes the kicks pop out even more. The only thing that I found confusing for myself & could be confusing for others in the future would be the sizing. I usually wear a 7 in mens and the shoes are a shoe for womens so I ordered an 8 in womens, I tried them on and they were half a size larger. I would recommend to order half a size smaller than what you would usually wear in womens. ... read more
I love these trainers. Great fit and very comfortable. I have been looking for something like this for ages. I'm not a fan of the wedge inside and the good thing about these trainers is that you can lift it out to have flat trainers ... read more
I love these slides and have had multiple pair. When my last pair wore out, I order a new pair, like always. But you changed them! They used to have a nice soft inner lining portion of the upper strap. Now it's rigid and feels cheap. I'm sure there's a reason for the change, but it's not a good change. Please bring the old version back! ... read more
I order size 7 because it is standard size shoe that I always buy but adidas superstar was too big even with thicker socks and insoles ... do I end up giving it away to my friend and currently searching and waiting for size 6.5 ... read more
I ordered at size 8 which is my shoes size, I tried on the shoes and it fit like it was a size 9. I recommend you to to a size smaller from your normal size. I just brought it this week so hopefully when I return them, it would have the size I want. ... read more
I got this shoes on size 8 and exchanged for 7.5, runs little large. I worn this shoes to work. I work on my feet all day and by the end of the day my feet were sliding forward and toes hitting the rubber in front. So I removed the wedges and used my goodfeet inserts instead. I ended up with a blister on my right mallelous ( sides gets high without the wedges. I will keep it because they are cute and I can wear to go out for short period of time. ... read more
I ordered this Addidas jacket and it came very quickly, This jacket is so comfortable on and cosy for the winter days, it goes with everything and the gold makes it look outstanding. Id definetly be purchasing another addidas jacket. As well as having a jacket i have addidas gazzelles when i were them both together its absouloutly gorgeous and a nice style. This jacket goes with anything and everything. Buy before there gone, trust me its worth it. ... read more
I bought these expecting a traditional wedge sole, not expecting the insole to be wedge which is why so many people complain about their toe hitting the front of the shoe. I usually wear a 10, but all the reviews said the shoe runs large so I bought a 9.5. Nope! Wrong! I spend the money on the expedited shipping only to have to return them because they're too big. They are cute, but I'll probably put something in them to level off the incline to keep my toe from hitting the front toe box. They look cute, and as a true Hip Hop female it's a must for my closet. ... read more

Applying for jobs after college is a lot of work. The to-do list: Update your resume, find open positions, spruce up your interview wardrobe, schedule interviews. On and on.
Add one more: Clean up your social media profile.
You might think changing your settings to "private" will keep you in the clear, but you really need to make an effort to remove inappropriate content – or even seemingly innocuous comments that some people might find objectionable –from your pages before applying for jobs.
No hiring manager worth his salt today will talk to a job candidate before first searching all the popular social media platforms – from Facebook to Twitter, Pinterest, Vine, Instagram and so forth – to see your digital footprint and what kind of image you project.
Yes, the video from that keg party you attended sophomore year was hilarious. Your future boss might not think so, though. And, he might get the wrong idea about your decision to "like" Willie Nelson's campaign to legalize marijuana. Fair or not, that's life.
Here are some dos and don'ts for the digital highway:
Hired: Update Your profiles
Keeping party pictures and inappropriate posts on your social media pages is one of the easiest ways to persuade an employer that you're not serious about your career. Fair or not, hiring managers care about what you post, and they don't want to hire someone with more bar pictures than career references.
The first step you need to take to create recruiter-approved social profiles is to remove all references of drinking, skipping class, complaining about your job or profanity. Hiring managers often get their first impression from a person's profile, and if they see several posts about blowing off class, they might think you'll have the same lax attitude toward your job.
Next, you must update all of your profiles with information about your college, major/minor, skills, goals and relevant work experience. LinkedIn's questionnaire is a great example of the type of information you should include on all of your social profiles, but make sure to include your personality – you don't want to read like a robot.
Hired: Follow the Company's Career Page
Young professionals should also "like" or follow the company or career page of the business where they're applying. This can give you more insight to the company, like what type of work you will be doing, the clients they serve, etc. Most companies also post job positions on these pages as well, so you can get on the inside track for any possible openings.
Hired: Post About Industry-Related Topics
Another great way to get on a business' radar before you even have an interview is to share posts related to the industry you're interested in or, even better, the specific company you hope to work for. Twitter is a great place to do this, but you can also share on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.
Fired: Sharing Controversial/Negative Posts
All you have to do is pay attention to the headlines: Social media can be dangerous to your career. Just ask the restaurant employee fired for posting a photo that showed him licking a stack of tacos or the technology industry employee hired (and then fired) for tweeting a negative comment about the company.
Some people think what they post outside of work is not their employer's business, and maybe it's not, but the lines between business and personal life have blurred and, anyway, perception matters a lot.
If you work in the private sector you must comply with your company's social media regulations. The rules can vary depending on the type of company you're with, but a good rule of thumb is to ask HR if the company has a social media policy.

It is no secret that New York Jets cornerback Antontio Cromartie battled through some major financial issues when he first got into the NFL. Cromartie, a Florida State Seminole, was selected by the San Diego Chargers with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and signed a 5-year, $12.5 million contract with the organization. He recently admitted that he spent roughly $5 million in his first 2 seasons with the Chargers. Something had to change or else Cromartie was going to secure himself a life of insolvency.
Fortunately for Cromartie, a major change was made. He linked up with Fadde Mikhail and hired a business manager. "Since then, Antonio has made a complete financial turnaround to the point that he is financially set until the age of 100 if he makes it that far," said Mikhail, President of Creative Sports International to FORBES. "His kids are set for life as well."
Many recall Cromartie talking about his kids on the sixth season of HBO's TV series Hard Knocks. Unfortunately, Cromartie is largely remembered for being slow in recalling the names of his children. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is his responsibility to care for so many individuals he is responsible for creating.
Mikhail, who also serves as the marketing agent for other NFL players including C.J. Spiller, Darren Sproles, Jimmy Clausen and Taylor Mays, matched Cromartie up with business manager and CPA Jonathan Schwartz roughly 4 years ago. While common in the entertainment industry, business managers are a rarity in professional sports, but they are not necessarily worthless for athletes who are in need of proper guidance.
"There is such a void in the professional sports world as far as the existence of business managers and the role we play in athletes' lives," explained Schwartz of GSO Business Management to FORBES. "We are like the backroom CFO. The reality is that athletes need our service."
A business manager is not fail-safe device for avoiding bad business decisions, but retaining a business manager could reduce the risk of athletes squandering their fortunes based on the poor advice received from third parties. For instance, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees recently sued a former teammate based on a claim that the teammate advised him to invest $160,000 in bogus tax credits. While it is unknown whether and/or how much Brees looked into the transaction before spending his money, a business manager could come in to conduct the necessary due diligence on such a proposal.
Schwartz does not give his clients financial advice and he believes that agents should stay away from financial talk as well. What he and his company do provide is a tax department, insurance department, bill pay service and leads to professionals including respected individuals in the investment/asset management, legal and banking fields.
"Athletes rarely have anyone quarterbacking all the professionals they work with," said Schwartz. "When I was fortunate enough to meet Cromartie, I saw he was a good hearted person, but was surrounding himself with unprofessional people and those who didn't have the education to give him the guidance he needed. But he was willing to admit he made mistakes and hold himself accountable."
Antonio Cromartie signed a 4 year, $32 million contract with the New York Jets on August 1, 2011. Schwartz admits that the contract has a lot to do with Cromartie's new-found financial freedom. However, he still believes that the services he provides are necessary for athletes and that there is an opportunity for growth in his industry. "I am not selling a can of paint; I am selling a real professional service," said Schwartz, who also represents former MLB player David Justice, NBA player Mo Williams and a plethora of musicians. "The problem is how to capitalize and solicit clients. Many agents want something in return and that's not my style. So I have to be very candid and transparent."
Schwartz says that he has not grown his athlete management division much in the past couple of years. But he also claims that it is not all that expensive for athletes to retain him. Cromartie likely thinks it is an investment worth having.

Just a Taste: Bunz, Burgerz & More at Moses Rose's
: October 18, 2012 : Updated: October 18, 2012 4:28pm

Bunz, Burgerz & More has brought its All American hot dog, topped with cheese sauce, spicy mustard, chili and onions, to Moses Rose's Hideout.
More Information
Bunz, Burgerz & More on Facebook
Coming Sunday in Taste
•Fall-inspired cocktails
Five recipes from local bartenders
•50-year journey
Eduard Peyer's new book chronicles culinary career, life
•The Taste Test
Reviews of J. Alexander's and House of Joy
Where: Moses Rose's, 518 E. Houston St., 210-775-1808
On the menu: Burgers, $6.50-$8.25; signature sandwiches, $7.99-$8.99; hot dogs, $5.99-$7.99; tacos, $5.99; sides, $1.50-$7.99; salads, $3.99-$7.99
Fast facts: Many people were sad to see the shuttering of Bunz, Burgerz & More on South Presa Street, but the restaurant has taken over the kitchen inside the live music venue, Moses Rose's Hideout. Even better, now it's open 11 a.m.-2 a.m.
Impressions: We were excited to hear one of our favorite versions of onion rings was within walking distance of work. On this visit, they weren't as good as we'd remembered — the first batch was oversalted, and both batches were sliced a little too thin and slightly overcooked.
The All American hot dog, which is slathered in Rico's cheese sauce, spicy mustard, house-made chili and topped with onions, is still a winner. The Texan sandwich was oozing with flavorful house-smoked brisket and the signature BBQ Jerk Sauce.
There are a few favorites held over from the original Moses Rose's menu, and you will want to try the fried potato salad of diced potatoes fried crisp and tossed with a potato salad dressing, bacon and cheese.

We don't particularly see their styles as similar, especially their red-carpet looks. One's a global pop star, the other is a newly minted pseudo-celebrity whose rear captured the attention of the planet. So who knew their off-duty styles would clash? Pippa Middleton and Kylie Minogue wore almost exactly the same jacket within a week of each other in London! It's quite the cute coat too and we love the trim. The only difference is that Kylie's seems to be a dull gold piping while Pippa's is white. But what we'd like to ask you is — who looks better?

More Weekend Madness
Posted on 31 July 2009
Brace yourselves – the weekend just got bigger. As you may know, A-Trak is taking over Webster Hall on Friday night with Treasure Fingers and Theophilus London. It's $1 admission and $1 drinks until midnight if you RSVP, so there's no excuse to miss this massive event.

Countdown to All Points West: Seasick Steve
Posted on 30 July 2009
Last night, Seasick Steve whet our appetites with an intimate performance at Mercury Lounge. After seeing Green Day perform with full-on pyrotechnics the night before at Madison Square Garden, it was a nice change of pace to see Seasick Steve's pared down one-man show.
He greeted the audience with handshakes before taking the stage for a little over an hour. Between songs, he shared anecdotes about everything from his childhood to chiggers, occasionally taking swigs from a bottle of red wine. He often referred to his raw sound as "Mississippi disco", evident by his three string trance wonder guitar which he calls the "biggest piece of shit in the world, I swear". There was a unique tenderness among the gruff swagger, particularly when he called a young lady on stage and sang the soft love song, "Walkin' Man".
Seasick Steve will be performing on the Blue Comet stage at 2:20 tomorrow, so make sure you get there early so you don't miss out. Follow us on Twitter to get live updates from the festival.

Mishka Delivers Major Lazer B-Sides
Posted on 30 July 2009
It's no surprise that Mishka NYC, the Brooklyn-based fashion label, enlisted Major Lazer for their tenth volume Keep Watch mixtape series. The brand's identity is strongly influenced by the freshest rhythms around, and the Diplo/Switch collaboration is no exception. Sure we've raved about these guys plenty but this mix delivers a few unheard tracks and b-sides. You'll recognize a few cuts from their most recent Essential Mix, and we also confirm that Switch has quite the thing for Ace of Base. Be sure to listen out for some M.I.A. action as well.

Countdown to All Points West: The Ting Tings
Posted on 29 July 2009
This Saturday at All Points West will mark the fourth time that we've seen The Ting Tings perform live in the past year. They put on a great show and are tons of fun to watch. My one complaint? Lead singer Katie White has worn the same shirt at all three shows. Will this Saturday bring a much-needed costume change? I guess we'll have to wait and see…
Check out LA Riots' remix of "That's Not My Name" below. Speaking of LA Riots, click here for photos from their recent DJ set at Webster Hall by Kenroy George.

The Real Sliim Shady
Posted on 26 July 2009
Say what you want about Perez Hilton, but the man's got good taste in music. This week, he introduced Sliimy, the first artist signed to his record label, Perezcious Records. It's easy to draw comparisons between Sliimy and Mika (another Perez favorite) – they both sport a mop of curls, a quirky look and sing in falsetto – but Sliimy's sound is definitely distinct. While Mika's leans more towards electro-pop, Sliimy's pop sound incorporates acoustic guitar, ska beats and has the potential to appeal to all ages.
Sliimy initially made waves last December with his cover of Britney Spears' "Womanizer". He is currently on tour in Europe, and his album is scheduled for a September 14 release.
Check out his video for "Wake Up" below. Anyone else hear some Lily Allen in there?

Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one. (HowTos)

Triple AAA Ranch's Arizona homebred Ez Dreamer left a tired field behind nearing the furlong pole and drew away to a 9 3/4-length laugher in the $50,000 Rattlesnake Stakes for 3-year-olds at Turf Paradise in Phoenix Jan. 20.
White Spar, the 2-5 choice in a field of six sophomores all trying the one-mile distance for the first time, set a fast early pace and began to tire before reaching the quarter pole. He wound up fourth. The Rattlesnake leads into the $100,000 Turf Paradise Derby on Feb. 9.
Teamed for the first time with jockey Glenn Corbett, Ez Dreamer overcame a lunging start and a wide trip on the final turn before taking over in the homestretch.
Trained by Kory Owens, the colt by In Excess--French Debutante, by French Deputy, gained his third victory in six starts. The bay colt is yet to finish out of the money.
Ez Dreamer broke outwardly from his far outside post and fell into a stalking position on the outside as White Spar, winner of the Arizona Breeders Futurity six weeks ago, clicked off an opening quarter mile of :22.73. But after getting a breather down the backstretch from jockey Sandi Gann -- completing the half-mile in :46.17 -- White Spar was under pressure from Stormy Highland and Ez Dreamer on the final turn.
They went six furlongs in 1:10.53 as Stormy Highland and Wilson Dieguez gained a narrow lead leaving the quarter pole. Stormy Highland was willing but over-matched in the lane by Ez Dreamer, who reached the furlong pole two lengths in front and widened from there. The final time was 1:36.60.
Ez Dreamer has met White Spar four times, with each side winning two. In his most recent start, Ez Dreamer finished third, nearly six lengths behind the runner-up White Spar, in the 6 1/2-furlong Lost in the Fog Juvenile at Turf Paradise Dec. 29. Ez Dreamer has earned $76,957 in his career.
The winner carried 115 pounds, eight fewer than topweight White Spar, and paid $8.40, $4.60, and $6.20. The 37-1 shot Stormy Highland ($19, $15.60) finished second, 2 1/4 lengths in front of Campeone ($7), who rallied mildly for third under Daniel Vergara.
White Spar, Dunlap, and Sharp Sounds completed the order.

One way or another, good schools cost money. Private school tuition can easily exceed monthly housing costs, but home prices in top-rated public school districts are 32% above the local average.
More than two-thirds of adults with children under 12 say that the neighborhood school district is among the most important considerations when choosing a home, according to a June 2013 Trulia survey. However, some parents factor schools into their housing choices differently. Nationally, 10% of school kids grades 1-12 attend private schools, and in some neighborhoods, the majority of kids go to private school.
In recognition of the back-to-school season, we analyzed where private school enrollment is high and low across the U.S. These geographic differences reveal why parents choose private or public schools for their kids.
For parents looking to move, knowing whether neighborhood kids go to private or public schools can help them decide where to live. First, a neighborhood's level of private school enrollment signals whether you too might want to send your kids to private school if you lived there. Second, even if you plan to send your kids to public school, the share of neighborhood children in private schools affects whether most of the neighborhood kids will be at school with them.
Who Sends Their Kids to Private School
Let's start with two essential facts about private schools, which explain a lot about who goes to private school:
Given the high cost, kids from richer families are far more likely to go to private school than kids from poorer families. Only 6% of kids in households with incomes under $50,000 attend private schools, compared with 26% of kids in households with incomes of $200,000 or more.0 comments
Nearly all big cities have fewer children aged 5-9 than those aged 0-4 because many families move to the suburbs when their kids are ready to start school. Some city neighborhoods lose many young families, but there are a handful of city neighborhoods that actually attract families with school-age kids.
Summer is ending, and kids across the country are grabbing their backpacks and trudging off to school. In many suburban neighborhoods, the backpacks come out in full force. But in some city neighborhoods – even those where the sidewalks are full of strollers – backpack-toting kids are scarce. That's because many urban parents move to the suburbs once their kids are ready to enroll in school.
Education is clearly top of mind when parents decide to relocate. Among adults who live with children, nearly two thirds (63%) said a neighborhood's school district would be among the most important considerations (aside from the home's price) when searching for a home – but few adults without kids would take school districts into account:
|Consideration in home search
|Has Children
|No Children
|Size of home
|Neighborhood Crime Rates
|Neighborhood School Districts
|Length of Commute to Office/Work
|Home's Proximity to Amenities
|Age of Home
|Area's Likelihood of Natural Disasters
|Proximity of Home to External Family
|Pet Friendly Home Accommodations
|Note: Trulia worked with Harris Interactive to conduct an online survey of 2,029 U.S. adults from June 24-26, 2013. Respondents were asked "Other than the price of the home, which of the following considerations, if any, would be among the most important to you, if you were searching for a home? Please check all that apply." For the full methodology, see below. Note that numbers are rounded and may not add perfectly as a result.
More Backpacks or More Strollers in the Neighborhood?
Parents with kids want larger homes, safer neighborhoods, and better schools. Data from the 2010 Census on where families live show how these desires actually play out. To see which neighborhoods families choose to live in as their kids approach school age, we looked at the relative populations of children aged 0-4 and 5-9. Nationally, there are just about as many elementary-school-age kids (those between 5 and 9 – let's call them "backpacks") as there are preschoolers (kids from 0 to 4 – "strollers"). In other words, the ratio of backpacks to strollers is very close to 1 – to be precise, it's 1.01. (Of course, older kids have backpacks too, and not every kid age 0-4 is in a stroller. But you get the point.) Spelling it out more clearly:
As we showed last year, the most "attractive" school districts – those with the highest backpack-to-stroller ratio – are smaller, suburban districts, while big-city school districts have more strollers than backpacks. But even within big cities, there's huge variation: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other cities all have extreme "stroller" neighborhoods, where the preschoolers far outnumber the elementary-school-age kids, but also a few "backpack" neighborhoods, which have more elementary school-age kids than preschoolers. Even in cities like San Francisco, where a lottery often assigns kids to elementary schools outside their own neighborhood, some neighborhoods are much more attractive to families with school-age kids than others are.0 comments
Parents "vote with their feet" by moving to better schools. We looked in every part of the country to find which districts attract parents with school-aged kids. Should you follow in their footsteps?
The back-to-school season is upon us. Across the country, millions of children are preparing to hit the books. Many of those kids will be entering school for the first time, making this season a huge transition for them and their families. But for many families, starting school isn't the only transition. Our analysis of Census data shows that 57% of households where the oldest child is between 5 and 9 years old said they moved sometime in the previous five years. Lots of factors go into the decision of whether to move and where, and for parents, this decision is largely driven by what matters most to their families: affordability, more space and of course good schools.
To figure out which school districts are the "most attractive" – in the sense that they attract families with school-age kids — we looked at the number of elementary school kids (by which we mean kids aged 5 to 9) and the number of preschoolers (kids aged 0 to 4) living in every school district in the U.S., according to the 2010 Census. The ratio of elementary school kids to preschoolers shows whether families move to or away from a district as kids approach school age. Since the Census is a snapshot in time, we can't track individual families to see whether and when they actually moved to a different school district, but the ratio does reveal their overall movement patterns.
Here's why: if families never moved, then the number of 5-to-9 year-olds would be very close to the number of 0-to-4 year-olds in an area, and the ratio would be very close to 1. (Nationally, the ratio is 1.01.) Children don't just magically vanish after age 4; nor does the stork drop 5-year-olds from the sky. Therefore, a ratio below 1 indicates that more families are moving out of an area than are moving in as children reach school age. And vice-versa, a ratio above 1 indicates that more families are moving in than moving out. The higher the ratio, the more "attractive" the school district is, because it literally attracts more families with school-age kids.0 comments

Most mobile app developers know in-app advertising can be an excellent source of additional revenue. Unfortunately, figuring out exactly how much money an app can make from mobile advertising can be a difficult task. This is especially true given the many variables that go into determining eCPM (effective cost per thousand impressions).
So, to help developers get a rough idea of how much they can make from in-app advertising, we have pulled together a simple mobile advertising revenue calculator.
Before you start digging in, please keep the following in mind:
- The calculator includes default numbers for interstitial and banner advertising. By default, banner advertising is selected. To get a better understanding of these and other terms, check out our mobile advertising glossary
- You can find your average minutes per session from your analytics provider, such as Flurry. This number is important because, the longer a person plays your app, the more opportunities there are to serve advertising impressions.
- Likewise, you can get ahold of your daily user sessions from your analytics provider. Keep in mind that daily sessions are what counts when it comes to advertising revenue, not installs. This is one of the reasons that it is so important to focus on retention and engagement and not just acquisition.
- We have given a recommendation for "ad impressions per minute". While this can vary by app, the default numbers should give you a good idea of where to start.
- Fill rates and eCPM can vary dramatically from network to network. Make sure that you ask any mobile ad network for this information before working with them.
So, that's it. I hope that you find this to be a useful too. If you have any suggestions regarding how we can make it better, please let us know.

Scientific evidence continues to mount strengthening the case that neonicotinoid pesticides are indeed key drivers behind colony collapse disorder (CCD). Three new studies out in the past two weeks, including one on April 5, 2012, add to the growing body of evidence that implicate pesticides as a critical catalyst behind drastic declines in bee population.
With beekeepers continuing to lose more than one-third of their hives each year, on average, the research is timely. Yet pesticide manufacturers like Bayer are attacking the science and attempting to delay regulatory action. Still, even with the industry PR machine at full throttle, public pressure is on for state and federal regulators to take swift action.
Pesticide use and bee population mortality is important to the Lower Susquehanna as most crops in Southern PA count on bees to pollinate – and therefore help produce – our food and forage crops. The die-offs of bee population has been studied by scientists for more than 10 years; while pesticides are not the only problem for bees, we know enough to act. Read three separate studies (three links there) from the last year confirming that that low-level exposures to neonicotinoids synergize with a common pathogen to dramatically increase bees' susceptibility to infection and the likelihood of death.

This is one of my favourite tips for Adwords campaign management.
A great way to check whether or not your paid adverts are actually showing for the keywords you have selected in your campaigns.
You should never click on your own ads' links – you will be charged each time, just as if you were a regular searcher.
However, if you continually check on your ads without clicking on them, Google will stop showing them to you because it is intuitive – it will believe that you don't want to see those

Things I liked:I looks and feel like a BB pistol; however, it's great for plinking... the accuracy is awesome at 10 and 15 meters... I was really surprised
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:It's a great little plinker... At a few meters, it will almost go through a coke can... both sides.
Things I liked:The size,power,and accuracy.
Things I would have changed:Trigger pull less.
What others should know:Get yourself some yellow paint touch your front sight with it. Fire Away. It's a Great Gun. Thanks
Things I liked:This handgun fits my hand real well, and I believe it is as fast of a fps as they claim, which is 410fps, although I haven't put it on my chrony yet; I can still tell by the clang it makes on my .22-cal. steel trap. I bought this gun the same time as another bb-gun, a competitor. The other weapon is better-built, faster in speed, and nicer looking. But this one is the most accurate, mainly because I put a laser sight on this one, and it holds on target until let-off of the trigger. I've got a couple of 1/2-inch five-shot groups with this gun. The laser was easy to mount, as the gun is set up for it. I'm looking to mount a push-button laser sight on the other gun to even up the odds. Sure is lots of fun in this Arizona winter weather (indoors, of course).
Things I would have changed:Nothing. I purchased two of these, one of which is non-laser mounted, and is very accurate.
What others should know:When shooting, especially with bb's, ALWAYS wear eye protection.

The psychological and philosophical pursuit of happiness began in China, India and Greece nearly 2,500 years ago with Confucius, Buddha, Socrates, and Aristotle. We can find remarkable similarities between the insights of these thinkers and the modern "Science of Happiness." On the following pages we explore the ideas of major thinkers, from East and West, who devoted much of their lives to the pursuit of happiness.
History of Happiness
Do you know?
New discoveries in the science of happiness have major implications for our mental well-being.
The idea of happiness has a long history that still influences our world today.
Who may have influenced Thomas Jefferson when he penned the line "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?"

Carmen Electra Says She's Open to Adopting a Baby
Is a bundle of joy in Carmen Electra's future?
The 40-year-old actress, who recently ended her romance with Simon Cowell, says would love to have kids some day and is open to the idea of adoption.
"I'm open to it," Carmen says in the new issue of In Touch Weekly. "Work has been my priority this year but I'm not closed off to the idea of adoption. I love kids."
While kids may be a little ways off for Carmen, she's already thinking about what kind of mom she'll be. "I'd be an encouraging and fun mom," she says. "I'd let my kid be who they are but also be a good solid mom. I definitely have an edgy, wild side to me — and I know people are surprised by this — but I can be very traditional too."
Despite being divorced twice — she was married to NBA star Dennis Rodman for 9 days and to rocker Dave Navarro for 2 ½ years — the brunette beauty has no qualms about tieing the knot again.
"I've had two marriages and that's all right. I'm not going to let that hold me back from living. I love those experiences. Dave and I are still so connected — we laugh, we talk on the phone, and we meet for lunch."
Is it wrong of us to keep hoping for a reconciliation for Dave and Carmen? Yes, we watched 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave, and we loved them together!

The New Mexico Transportation Department says I-40 is reduced to one lane in both directions from mile marker 68-69 - just east of the Cibola/McKinley county line - due to several jack-knifed semi trucks.
Please reduce speed in that area and watch for emergency personnel.

(Each of the last three years, I've traveled over to Portland for MusicfestNW, a multi-day, multi-venue music festival that features some of the best bands from around the world. With a roster nearly 200 acts deep, MFNW 2009's schedule included rock, punk, metal, hip-hop, jazz, Americana, electronica, and who knows what else. One thing's for sure: You can't get to every show. But I saw my share of them, and here's my report on my third and final night, Saturday. My Thursday report is here, my Friday reports are here and here.)
The preamble: MusicfestNW wrapped up more than two weeks ago. At this point, I should forget about writing up my Day 3 experience, because (1) no one cares anymore, and (2) I can barely remember Day 3, and I sure didn't take great notes. However! I am going to push forward, because (1) I committed to covering the festival top to bottom and and want to keep that commitment, and (2) I think my Saturday night at MFNW provides a valuable lesson for all you festival-goers out there. Also, I love doing these little things: (1) and (2). I like making lists. Makes me feel important.
The lesson I learned — well, not learned; the lesson that was reinforced for me — on Saturday, Sept. 19 at MFNW has roots at Rontoms, a small bar on East Burnside Street that hosted an all-day-and-night showcase of bands on the Bladen County Records label. Before the festival, I had only heard of Bladen County, and had never actually heard any of their bands. So I spent part of my Saturday afternoon on various MySpace pages, discovering what I quickly realized was a fleet of wonderfully straightforward pop-rock bands. And hey! I love pop-rock. (Note: The fine folks at Bladen County put together a mix of their bands and it's still available for free download as far as I know. Grab it here.)
So with no other MFNW shows scheduled till later in the evening, I walked across the Burnside Bridge to Portland's east side to take in rapid-fire 30-minute sets from Bladen County bands. I skipped this showcase last year, and I will never make that mistake again, because the three or so hours I spent hanging out on Rontoms' gigantic patio was one of the highlights of the festival for me.
The place was crawling with hipsters, no doubt, but it was a pretty loose atmosphere. Two stages were set up on opposite sides of the patio for maximum rock 'n' roll. Everyone seemed to know each other except for me. And I think every cigarette smoker in Oregon was there.
Here are the bands I saw, in chronological order:
–The Monarques: According to the frontman, this was their second show, and they'd been together only for a few weeks. Which is scary, because they were my favorite band of the showcase. These guys and gals played perfect, sunny throwback rock that was equal parts Beatles pop and Motown soul, coated in a layer of "oohs" and "aahs" as thick as 180-gram vinyl. (The band's MySpace cites Holland-Dozier-Holland as its only influence.) Watch out for The Monarques. Seriously. They could be huge.
–Radiant Silvergun: Not my favorite set, but they were fun to watch. Buzzy, angular post-punk, sorta like Guided By Voices, but without Bob Pollard's knack for melody.
–Ages: The other highlight of the showcase, along with The Monarques. Ages is the new project from Tim Perry, formerly of the now-defunct, almost-broke-big band Pseudosix. I don't really know what Pseudosix sounded like, but Ages makes delicate, melodic folk music, a la Beirut without the Balkan fetish. In Ages, everyone sings and everyone plays something, whether it's drums and bass or a little noisemaker. Perry's choir of good-looking vocalists passed around hand-held percussion instruments throughout the set, which was compelling from beginning to end. This is another band to watch; if The Decemberists and Fleet Foxes can be huge, so can Ages.
–The Skinnyz: Sunglassed, 'tude-fueled haircut-rock, nicked from the '70s. I wasn't feeling it.
I also saw a song or two of Oh Captain My Captain, but by the time they were rolling, I was getting hungry and decided to bail on Bladen County's showcase and head back across the Willamette River to prep for my final evening of MFNW fun.
And that, looking back, was a mistake.
Here's why: For the rest of the night, I chased the music. The laid-back, you-can't-do-everything attitude I took on the first two nights of the festival escaped me, and I spent Saturday night fretting about what was happening at the venue around the corner, and it messed up my night.
Oh, I saw a couple good bands. I stopped by the Roseland Theater and caught the Australian pop act Youth Group. Their made-for-TV music is Coldplay-ish in nature, and quite toe-tapping. They were enjoyable. But then I got out of there (no interest in seeing headliner The Get Up Kids) and hit up Berbati's Pan to see a few minutes of high-school-aged L.A. band Avi Buffalo, whose members look old enough for middle school, not high school. They were good, too, in a Flaming Lips/The Shins sort of way. The lead kid was particularly charming. Then it was over to Dante's to see Seattle psych-twangers The Moondoggies, who spent about as much time soundchecking and complaining about the sound as they did playing. It rubbed me the wrong way, and the music was kind of boring, so I bailed and headed to Backspace to see Portland's Panther, who apparently played a 20-minute set and was done when I arrived. So I walked a couple doors down to the Someday Lounge to get some hip-hop into the diet via Luck One, but he was nowhere to be found. A DJ was spinning. So then, back to Backspace for a few songs of New Jersey punk studs Titus Andronicus, whose energy was commendable. So was the main guy's beard. But by this time, my night was spinning down the drain a bit, so I wandered back over to Dante's to see Bobby Bare Jr., a former fave of mine in whom I've lost interest in recent years. His set did nothing to rekindle my love for his music. And when he was done, it was time for a solo set from none other than Black Francis, legendary frontman of the Pixies, one of my all-time favorite bands.
Finally, my night would be redeemed, I thought. The old man would come out and blow my mind with a rare solo set of his very best stuff, including a bunch of awesome Pixies songs. I even positioned myself right up front, just feet from his microphone.
But Mr. Francis was dreadfully boring. He walked out, gave a little nod to the crowd, grabbed his electric guitar and started playing weird, woozy versions of his stuff. Sometimes he took no break between songs, and sometimes he did. He did golden Pixies oldies like "Cactus" and "The Holiday Song," but they were devoid of any sort of energy or feeling. The highlight was "Los Angeles," though I suspect it was the highlight only because it came early in the set, before I realized how little effort the guy was going to put into this.
I stuck it out for 40 or 45 minutes, afraid to leave for fear of missing something amazing. (Francis has one of the greatest canons of the past 20 years to pick from, in my mind, so it was a legit fear.) Eventually, though, it became clear that this was the show: Black Francis, lackadaisically strumming his way through his songs, paying no attention to momentum or dynamics, much less to the audience. While I was there, he never talked to us. Barely acknowledged us. Just slogged his way through tune after tune, never straying from the same middling pace. He seemed totally indifferent.
It was a bummer of a way to end my 2009 MusicfestNW.
The next day, I realized something: I should have never left Rontoms and the Bladen County Records showcase.
I was having a perfectly fine time there; the music was good and the scene relaxed. There was an entire night's worth of solid bands set to play, many of which were/are right up my alley.
A lot of good stuff was happening there in that one spot.
But instead, I chose to head back into the heart of MFNW and chase the full festival experience. I thought I wanted to hurry from venue to venue to catch some big-name bands. I was motivated by greed; it was my last night in Portland, and I wanted to cram in as much as I could.
I couldn't have known, of course, that my Saturday would go downhill after leaving Rontoms. But if I had it to do over again, I'd stay right there and enjoy whatever other unknown pleasures Bladen County wanted to throw at me. It worked for The Monarques and Ages; I'm sure it would've worked for the bands later on in the evening.
Oh well. Chalk it up as a valuable lesson, one to remember next year.

Welcome to "Artery - The AIDS Forum." "Artery" intends to be more than a web-zine. Its subtitle, "AIDS - The AIDS Forum" suggests its hybrid status as a virtual meeting place, as well as a journal. Like the
"Virtual Collection"
, the data base of more than 3000 images by visual artists who have died of, or are living with, complications of HIV--"Artery" is also produced by
The Estate Project
and intends to take full advantage of its digital nature.
Why an online site at the intersection of AIDS and the arts? As one of the participants in the our first symposium observed: "The influence of AIDS-related art is huge--too large to see clearly and yet pervasive." In addition to chronicling AIDS-related arts of all kinds from dance to video, "Artery" will assess the nature and reach of that pervasive cultural influence. Examining the broad cultural and social issues raised by AIDS-art also means looking at the work of artists who address HIV/AIDS in their work, while not themselves (literally) infected with the virus.
Here at "Artery," we hunger for two-way communication. Do you take issue with filmmaker
Gregg Bordowitz's
motives for revealing personal information about himself in his work? Or perhaps you'd like to know more about his front-line documentation of AIDS demos and actions? Access Gregg--and your fellow site visitors--by creating, or joining, a bulletin-board conversation. (Click on the simple-to-use
"Send to the Visitor Forum"
buttons located alongside each article or feature.) We hope that four critics critiquing themselves might stir up a tiny fuss in our
critics' symposium
. Equally important, we'd love it if sometimes you just want to talk among yourselves. Do you need to find a print dealer in the upper Midwest undaunted by AIDS-related imagery? Or just a high-quality laser printer? Solicit a recommendation from our bulletin boards.
In typical, online fashion, "Artery" is being launched in-process. Not all of the interactive features or planned editorial resources have been developed yet. In the near-future expect to see photo-essays, book reviews, a people's history--or timeline--of two decades' of AIDS-arts, as well as more of what's available now: Writers
Craig Lucas
Sarah Schulman
talking (loudly) with Michael Bronski;
Robert Atkins
explaining why the iconic images and symbols of the AIDS epidemic are public artworks, not made-for-TV movies or schmaltzy pop songs;
Gregg Bordowitz
talking about politics, representation and activism; four critics--
Chris Dohse
Stephen Holden
Eileen Myles
(poetry and fiction) and
Nancy Princenthal
(visual art)--holding forth in our symposium; and precisely directed links expanding all of the subjects under discussion.
If you've enjoyed what you've seen and would like to be notified by email when more material is posted in the coming months.
here to join our mailing list. We'd also welcome your suggestions and comments-pro and con. So don't be a stranger. After all, what's a community without you?
Robert Atkins
Editor/Producer of "Artery"

Planning a big event in your community can seem daunting, but it's easy if you break it down into simple steps. Follow the 10 steps below and you're sure to have a successful event! (Click the Steps for details)
First things first—it's more fun to work together. Call up friends, leaders in your community and allied organisations that you think would want to get involved. Host a first meeting to get to know everyone and start brainstorming. When you've got a basic idea in place, register your event on the website so other people can find you and join in.
The India Beyond Coal campaign aims to not just educate the public but build adequate awareness and pressure amongst our policy and political leaders to begin looking at ways to transition India away from coal and into renewable energy.
Time to get down to details– let's figure out how you can make your voices heard through action:
What – How will you "Move India beyond coal?" Is your action directly addressing a negative impact of coal, a positive aspect of renewable energy or communicating a powerful story of change.
Where – Is there an easily accessible location where people can meet? What symbolic locations can be incorporated?
When – when will your action begin and end?
Set a goal for how many people you'd like to see in the streets on 10 November and create a plan for reaching 10 times that number of people, assuming only 10% of the people you contact will actually show up. Talking to schools, religious groups, community meetings, putting up posters around town, sending emails through listservs, getting a public service announcement on the local radio, and getting on community calendars are a few ways to get the word out
As with planning most events, you'll have to deal with some basic logistics. Here are some key things to consider:
- Permits for your location
- Schedule and speakers if you'll hold a rally at the beginning or end (make sure to include time for a photo!)
- Sound, stage and other equipment
- Bathrooms
- A safety plan, especially for marches and larger events
- When you have all these details together, be sure to publish the key information publicly on your 350 local website, community calendar and any fliers that might be printed.
If you want to make sure your political leaders hear your demands, make sure you invite them out to your event! It's important to send an invitation letter and call a few days later to set up a meeting and invite in person—do it early so their schedules haven't filled up. As often it works in India, having a contact person in the Govt. always helps in moving things a little quickly.
Artistic signs, colorful banners, and fun chants and songs are some of the best ways to get people excited for your action, and to send your message in a clear and positive way. Host a time to paint banners and signs before your action, and invite volunteers to come. Check out the 350.org ARTIVIST GUIDE for more information on using art for campaigning.
The media is one of our most important ways to make our voices heard. It's important to figure out early who the reporters who cover environment are at your local paper, radio station, and TV station, and try to build a relationship. A week out from your event you'll want to send a media advisory, followed by a call to make sure they've received it. On the day of you'll want to send a press release, and make another call to make sure they come out!
On the big day, gather your friends and action materials and get out in the streets. Make sure you've delegated key roles for that day – individuals to liaise with the police (if necessary), the media, an emcee, chant leaders, etc. Make sure everyone speaking or being interviewed by press knows the key messages you're trying to send that day, and don't forget to document with photo and video!
After the event, we're asking everyone to send in their photos and videos to help us create a shared story. After your media has been uploaded, take a breath, and celebrate with your team. Be sure to thank everyone who helped, and plan a follow-up meeting as soon as you can. Assess what went well, where you could have improved, and start planning your next steps for building the movement for clean energy in India.

News Starting July 02, 2012
New Veterinary Clinic Coming to Chelem!
We are so pleased to be able to pass on the news that Planned Pethood International is ready to break ground on a brand new veterinary clinic in Chelem. They will be putting special emphasis on population control (i.e. Spay/neuter), disease transmission, and parasite control. They also hope to enlist a dog trainer to deal with training and behavioral issues for interested parties. They are going to enlist the help of the local government, humane organizations (AFAD, Evolution), local veterinarians, and the very active "beach community." Their goal is to conduct one survey a year for at least 3 to 5 years to document how the health of the animals and attitude of the community is changing. The primary objectives of the Chelem Project are to: Test the hypothesis that humans are hardwired to care for and show compassion to companion animals, enhance the human-animal bond, enhance the health and welfare of companion animals and their caretakers and decrease the surplus while helping to maintain a healthier companion animal population. Yucatan Living would like to congratulate everyone and every organization involved in this effort. We can't even imagine how many innocent dogs and cats, as well as their people, will be its beneficiaries.
Mexico Elects New President
On July 1, 2012, Mexico elected a new President. For those who do not know how these elections work, the President of Mexico is elected by direct popular universal suffrage. If the vote is close, or if the winner does not receive a majority of the votes, there will be no runoff election. Whichever candidate wins a simple plurality of the national vote is elected. In addition, Mexico has presidential term limits, so no President can remain in office past the end of his six-year term. This time, the people of Mexico have elected Enrique Peña Nieto, in a move that brought back the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). The future is now in their hands and we wish President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto well.
Yucatan's Election Results
Governor of Yucatan: Rolando Zapata Bello (PRI)
Mayor of Merida: Renán Barrera Concha (PAN)
Senate remains in the hands of PAN, where it has been since 2000.
Mayor of Progreso: Daniel Zacarias (PRI)
Conde' Nast Traveler: Mexico – The Pleasures of Merida
The opening statement, in Conde' Nast Traveler's July 2012 article about Merida says: "Merida In Bloom. The capital of Yucatan, Amy Wilentz discovers, is nothing less than Mexico's new capital of the good life – a quiet, harmonious haven of Mayan culture, magnificent mansions, and increasingly masterful food, art and design." The article is 13 pages in length, with plenty of beautiful photos, and even a map of Centro. The magazine is on newstands now and is also available via iPad and other tablet devices. There is an online link to the article at Merida in Bloom: The Food, Art, Design, and Mayan Culture of Merida, Mexico.
"No Pets in Cabin" Reversed in Mexico
Thanks to everyone who put the pressure on to have the "no pets in cabin" policy reversed in Mexico. The Minister of Tourism has heard your voices and the response is overwhelmingly positive. Revision of these policies are to begin this week and the revised policy will allow pets to fly in the cabin on both national and international flights. The new policy, they said, should be in place by September 2012, just in the nick of time for Snowbirds to return. Four days later, the new policy was not only revised, but posted on the SCT website. The new circular states that compliance is mandatory as soon as the airlines are notified. For a more indepth understanding of this issue, go to Jaltemba Bay Life.com and scroll down to July 21 – 25. In the meantime, remember that there is plenty of room for slips twixt the cup and the lip, so please do keep signing those petitions and keep the pressure on.
Secondary and Higher Education in Rural Yucatan
While the rest of the world goes about the business of business, researchers at UADY and UNAM are hard at work, making sure that Yucatan moves to the forefront of Mexico as one of the best states in which to conduct all manner of collaborative business ventures. In order to bring jobs to Yucatan, we must have an educated workforce and these academic researchers have just the plan to create that. Soon, there will be three new zones of higher education influence in the state. These are expected to be located at Hoctun, Peto and Dzidzantun. The new programs will be based on the production process in textiles, metal-mechanics and agriculture. Courses will be taught in industrial maintenance, animal production, community development, intercultural communication, as well as language, culture, and health. There has never been anything the world has asked of Yucatan that she has not had at the ready when opportunity came calling. Now, a diverse, well educated workforce will be ready and waiting for new business to arrive. From some of our news reports in the past year or so, we think we are safe in saying that opportunity is on its way!
What Can You Buy for $500 pesos in Mexico?
As we understand it, the recent VivaAerobus $500 domestic ticket sale ran only from June 25 to July 1, but included flights from August 21 to October 31. From what we hear, the response was so great that it crashed their online ticket purchase system. Since summer is the low season for international tourism, this was part of a push to encourage domestic tourism. We suspect there will be more of these marvelous deals as the summer wears on. One year, some of the most expensive "all inclusive" resorts in Mexico ran specials in late summer that were astoundingly low. No matter where you want to go in Mexico, if you live here, or if you are already here and make your travel plans from within the country, Summer is your season to travel at costs so low that they hardly even need to become a budget item.
Yes – But Can They Cook?
There have been some goings-on out in the Tizimin and Valladolid areas lately that gave us pause for thought. It seems, with the advent of hurricane season, whole units of disaster preparedness military troops have moved into those areas and are setting up camp so they will be onsite and ready if disaster strikes. …and then they started moving in those military kitchens. You know the kind. They're big metal trailers that can feed an astounding number of people per day. Well – those men are young soldiers. Can they cook? Someone else must have asked the question because the group in Valladolid invited all of the politicians and local officials over to sample their goods. From all accounts, Yes – they are very good cooks! Now, we can all rest easy and know that, if disaster does strike, the groceries will still be top of the line in eastern Yucatan!
What's To Do After You See the Ruins?
We get all kinds of questions about living in Yucatan, many from sports fans, and especially now that expats seem to be getting younger all the time. What if you move to Yucatan and burn out on traveling to see the historical sites? Can you still find something fun to do? Believe it or not, we have everything here that you have back home, and sometimes even more! This week, we spent some time just playing on YouTube and found videos of a few things that you might not guess are even in Yucatan. Take a look at MotoCross,radio controlled model airplanes, and drag racing. There really is something for everyone in Yucatan!
Before We Go… Let's Check the Weather
When people think of the possibility of moving to Yucatan, they usually think of moving to the tropics to avoid the punishing cold of where they currently reside. We would be willing to wager that few think of moving to the tropics to get away from the heat. Yet, today, when we looked at the weather in Yucatan… and then at the weather where a friend lives (St. Louis, MO), we were amazed at the difference in mid-afternoon temperatures. The temperature went to 102 degrees, with thunderstorms, in St. Louis today, and they expect 104 degrees later in the week. In Merida, in the middle of the afternoon, its 82 degrees and cloudy. Temperatures are expected to go up to 93 degrees, with short periods of rain, later in the week. Maybe those NOB folks who find high air conditioning bills too much of a burden might want to consider moving to the cooler climes of the tropics in the summer. We certainly recommend it!

Editorial Staff • West End • 14 Dec 2004
But, if that can be counted a fault, it's one that can be easily forgiven since, aside from its London address at Wyndham's Theatre, The Witches isn't really pitching itself as a West End show. How could it be? With top-price tickets a maximum of £25 (not to mention offers that level all seats at £15 for adults and a mere £5 for kids, its target audience), it's not only affordable but extremely good value.
To add a little more star value, Ruby Wax has been drafted in to play the evil Grand High Witch for the London season. While Miss Motormouth appears to have grand high fun in the role, she by no means steals the show. Her gaggle of hags have been recruited from the local populace (See The Goss, 6 Jan 2005), all good-naturedly enjoying their 15 minutes of West End fame. Elsewhere, stage veteran Dilys Laye provides able support as the kindly Grandmother and Gile Cooper, as her orphaned charge, makes a likeable boy-turned-mouse hero.
NOTE: This review dates from December 2004 and this production's original run at Birmingham Rep ahead of a UK tour and West End season. Casting does differ for London performance. Please check performance listings for details.
Roald Dahl is a master of telling remarkable children's stories, and can transport his readers to wild and wonderful places, whether it be the lair of Fantastic Mr Fox or the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka.
But his tales often have more-than-gruesome elements, including death, and with witches with rotting, balding heads, and kids who are turned into mice, there are startling elements which should be considered if you're thinking of taking along young children.
The Witches is an action-packed show, and at one hour forty minutes, including interval, there's little opportunity for the adults to find their attention wandering, while the kids' eyes pop out as though on stalks.
With the likes of Harry Potter conjuring up spells on screen and on the page, director Jonathan Church has enlisted the help of illusions director Paul Kieve, who was magic consultant on the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
And with adults disappearing before your eyes, children turning into mice, mice travelling unaided across the width of the vast Rep stage, and a rather nifty sequence in which two of the rascal rodents attempt to climb a staircase, it's a magical evening for the little ones, who giggled, cheered and gasped throughout.
Huge video screen projections, great work from the puppets, a really revolting Grand High Witch, played by Katerina Jugati, complete with peel-off face, rotting head and cackling laugh, and a friendly, warm and loveable grandmother in Dilys Laye, make for an entertaining live experience.
Giles Cooper is an earnest protagonist, known throughout only as Boy, teamed well with Keith Saha's greedy sidekick Bruno, and a group of Birmingham ladies provide solid support as the rest of the witches attending a hotel convention in which to plot the eradication of children.
David Wood's adaptation is short and swift, and if it obviously lacks the depth of the book, it does exactly what a stage adaptation should - convert the page into a live experience to be enjoyed. The ending is either sickly or heart-warming, depending on your point of view, but it's well-executed and isn't perhaps an entirely happy one.
But there's something about seeing kids enjoy live theatre. And that's magical in itself.
