Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter talks about his new CD, his more than 20-year battle with drug addiction and how his comeback was possible.
Singer El DeBarge
El DeBarge has one of R&B's most distinctive voices. The sixth of ten children, his signature falsetto has anchored 16 Top 10 hits, as part of the family group DeBarge and as a solo artist. He recently returned to the spotlight, after 16 years away, with rave reviews—and two Grammy nods—for his fifth solo project, "Second Chance." Labeled a child prodigy due to his vocal and keyboard skills, DeBarge released his self-titled solo debut in '86. He's also contributed to tracks by DJ Quik and the RZA and has been touring in support of his new CD.
Tavis: El DeBarge is the phenomenally talented front man for one of my favorite groups of all time, DeBarge. He is out now with his first solo project in over 15 years – hard to believe. The new disc, now nominated for two Grammys, is called, appropriately enough, "Second Chance." Here now some of the video for the title track, "Second Chance."
Tavis: You still got it, man; you still got it, El. Golly. (Laughter) I crack up every time I see you because for those who don't know – and this is unheard of in this industry – so El is, like, 49 years – can I say that?
El DeBarge: Yeah.
Tavis: I think I just did.
DeBarge: Yeah, you just did.
Tavis: So El's almost 50 – keep that camera on El. What you're looking at is an almost 50-year-old man who had a drug problem for two decades, and God has protected the look, the aesthetic, he's protected the voice, and El is back with a CD that I am just absolutely in love with. God loves you.
DeBarge: I love him.
Tavis: Yeah.
DeBarge: He loves us all, man. I'm just here to be a testimony of his grace and his goodness and his love for all mankind.
Tavis: What do you make of the fact, though, as I said, that you're not a spring chicken anymore. First of all, you didn't get my memo – you never come to my show dressed better than I am.
DeBarge: Okay. (Laughter)
Tavis: That's the first thing. Let's just get that out the way right now. You cannot out-dress the host, that's the first thing. But on a serious note, though, 20 years of battling drug addiction, and the voice, that falsetto, is still there. You still have, again, what women love about you, the look, you still have that. What do you make of the fact that you still have the voice after all these years?
DeBarge: First and foremost, we know it's God, because you're not supposed to survive this. You're not supposed to survive crack, period, especially 22 years of crack. Then periodically it was heroin, and that should have took me out too, you know what I mean? The drinking and all of that.
But my heart was set for God, and he knew he had a purpose yet for me, and he knew he would rescue me, and this time, with a great testimony. So it's even bigger and better now because I've come from something, and I slipped forward – I didn't slip backwards, because I know that I won't do the same things I did before. I won't make the same mistakes. I'm still looking at the finish line, Tavis.
Tavis: So Prince is a good friend of mine, as you may know. He's been on this show any number of times. Was to receive the artist of the year award, as you know, from BET. Prince showed up to receive the award, but as is the custom, the recipient of the big BET honor this year, every year, for that matter, performs.
So Prince shows up, we all recall, we all saw the show. Prince shows up to receive the award but did not perform, so we're all assuming that one of the reasons why you sang so many songs on that show is that Prince, for whatever reason, did not perform that night. Whether that's true or not, the point is that you came on stage at the BET awards a couple of times – once to do your new song, "Second Chance."
Then you come back out and you do this medley. You killed the BET. I was not watching it that night when it aired, but my phone started blowing up, the computer started popping off, and everybody's like, "You have to see El."
DeBarge: Wow.
Tavis: So I couldn't get to a TV fast enough to rewind to see what you had done. I raised all that to ask what this BET appearance did to revive this career.
DeBarge: What it did for me is priceless to me, because all of the millions of viewers that saw me that night on BET, they had a second chance to see my second chance.
Tavis: Mm, I like that, yeah.
DeBarge: They saw me nervous, they saw –
Tavis: You were nervous that night?
DeBarge: Oh, they saw me – but they saw the triumph that God had wrought in me.
Tavis: But you were nervous, though?
DeBarge: Oh, I was very nervous.
Tavis: Wow.
DeBarge: I was very, and I turned around on that stage and everybody was cheering and just full of joy and up on their feet, and that's what got me through it. But prior to that, I was nervous. BET, I'll never, never, ever forget them for this wonderful blessing they gave to me, to be on the 10th annual BET awards for my comeback.
Tavis: This song that I referenced, "Second Chance," it is – y'all are working it, because you could not have picked a better song with a more potent lyric to come back the way you've come back. But tell me about the song, "Second Chance," and how you landed on that song.
DeBarge: "Second Chance" is a song that was in the making the whole time of my drug addiction, because I was calling out for that second chance. I was saying, "God, rescue me. Give it to me again. Please, help me." But clearly, I have to get healed first; I have to get well first. But then when I get well, will there be a second chance for me? Will people still want to hear my voice? Will they forgive me?
"Second Chance" is not just about my drug addiction, my comeback from drugs, but it's also – it commemorates and speaks the sentiments of a lot of people's hearts out there in the whole world looking for second chances, in marriages. They've lost jobs; they've lost homes, mortgages – second chance.
Tavis: You and I have talked about this privately and publicly, and you've shared with me that there were people, drug dealers, when you were caught up in this for 22 years, who were such fans of yours, who adored you so much, loved your family so much, like all the rest of us do, they wouldn't even sell you – you were trying to buy, and there were certain folks who said, "I am not, El DeBarge, going to sell you no drugs."
DeBarge: They wouldn't sell it to me. They couldn't. Then they ran – they were the heads of certain districts where drugs were sold, certain areas, and they called to all their people and they said, "If you see him -" (Laughter) They were even – some people told me, they said, "Man, I can't do it because he'll shut me down," (laughter) or "He'll beat me up if I give it to you, man, you know what I mean? I can't do it, El." (Laughter)
Tavis: So people really were protecting you from yourself.
DeBarge: They said, man, I – now, that's interesting, because most of the drug dealers that we all know, they don't care.
Tavis: Exactly.
DeBarge: They just want the money. But the anointing of God was so heavy on me that it even reached their spirit, and I think they found themselves compelled to follow a role that their feet was on. They just said, "No, I just can't do it, man."
Tavis: You know that's the Holy Ghost, when drug dealers turn down money. (Laughter) Ain't nothing but the Holy Ghost (unintelligible).
DeBarge: My mama told me I'm not fit for nothing but the kingdom of God. (Laughter)
Tavis: And your mama's right, but your mama's statement is true for all of us, though.
DeBarge: Yes.
Tavis: Ron Isley, another great artist, iconic artist, on this program just a few weeks ago. I asked Ron this question. I'm going to ask you the same question, and I think the answer is going to be the same. So Ron was telling me when he was on lockdown that the brothers insisted that he perform. I assume that you must have had the same.
DeBarge: Pretty much. (Laughter)
Tavis: So on the one hand, the brothers on the street won't sell you drugs.
DeBarge: Right.
Tavis: But the brothers in prison must have told you that if you didn't sing, you were going to be in trouble.
DeBarge: Well, the thing is they get an attitude if – (laughter) it's like I sang and I sang, and then the one time that I said, "Well, man, I'm tired," "Well (unintelligible) crackhead, you ought to be glad somebody wants you to sing." (Laughter) I said, "What? What, man?"
Tavis: So when they said, "Sing," you had to skip to it.
DeBarge: Oh, man, because you never know, you might need them the next day to help you out (unintelligible). (Laughter)
Tavis: How did you – this is not the way you were raised, this ain't the experience that you grew up having in Michigan. We grew up in the same church. How did you survive being in a place where you had no business being? That's just not who you are.
DeBarge: It's clearly not who I am. I hid most of the time. I found myself hiding in my own house. That's how bad it had my mind. I have a house with four bedrooms, and I'd be in a closet, 24/7, just in the closet, just stuck, wondering how in the world did I get myself into this, but how do I get out of it?
I didn't really hang out that much with people. I tried to stay to myself. But you've got to get out because you want more drugs, you know what I mean? So I don't know, I was – that was my biggest question: How did I get here? This is not me.
Tavis: So you're back, and you're back in a big way, and I know the question that many people are asking is whether or not you can handle – I saw a quote the other day. "Be careful of the catastrophe that success can bring." You feel competent to handle all this? Because it's back, and it's hitting you so fast. Everybody's glad you're back and everybody wants to hear the record?
DeBarge: The way you can be careful of the catastrophe that success can bring is by paying attention to something else that comes along with success – responsibility. Along with success comes responsibility. Keep your eye on what you're responsible to and what you're responsible for, and that'll keep you right.
Tavis: Tell me about the music. When your "Second Chance," of course, the title track, but when you're putting together a record that ain't just a record, this is the first time in 15 years you've done the solo thing, everybody's waiting to hear it, we want to see if the chops are still there, we know that El DeBarge, DeBarge family sound, that (unintelligible) sound that we're used to hearing.
How do you go about putting together a record that you think is going to work for us?
DeBarge: Oh, my goodness, Tavis, I felt the pressure from the first song (laughter), from writing the first song (unintelligible) the first song, from Jimmy Jam to Terry Lewis, Babyface, the Isley Brothers, everybody on this album, Ron Fair. It's like everybody, every time I got behind the mic, it was like just listening. (Laughter)
So we put together a great feel-good album, man. We took our time, as much time as we were allowed to take. My manager, Peter Farmer, was very instrumental in putting all these producers together and putting all the songwriters together with me.
Then we finished this beautiful album, and then I go out on tour, and then I got the audience looking at me like this. (Laughter)
Tavis: So you're used to this by now, huh?
DeBarge: They're like, "You'd better not hit a wrong note or I wish you would." (Laughter)
Tavis: I wish you would.
DeBarge: I'm going to know something. (Laughter)
Tavis: Well, you know what? I'm one of those people who was doing like this. (Laughter) Recently here in L.A. a wonderful organization, wonderful group called CARRY, one of my physicians, Dr. Pearl Grimes, just a wonderful sister, and has an organization that works with at-risk youth, saves kids all across this city.
I was a recipient of an award at this event and I was excited to receive the award, very nice honor, but I really went, with all due respect to Dr. Grimes, because El DeBarge was the entertainment that night, and I wanted to see if he still had it.
So here's El, a little footage here of El on stage working it out, and when I say this Negro killed it, he killed it. It was the most amazing experience. I was in my seat trying to be cool, and there I am. (Laughter) I couldn't keep still. So I get up and I can't decide whether I want to dance or whether I want to sing.
And there's me, and then you see Martin Lawrence is there, there's Dr. Grimes, somewhere on that dance floor is Cedric the entertainer. We had the most wonderful experience with CARRY and these young people, but El, you brought that thing to life. When I heard you that night live and I'm two feet from the stage, I'm like this – El is back.
DeBarge: Wasn't that so much fun? I had a lot of fun that night, man.
Tavis: But you made it possible for all of us.
DeBarge: Wow, everybody was –
Tavis: You brought so much joy to so many people that night.
DeBarge: I'm full of joy. I have a song on my CD called, "Joyful."
Tavis: I heard it today.
DeBarge: I'm full of joy, man. I'm so joyful – exceedingly. (Laughs)
Tavis: He's talented, and I'm just – I'm going to stop before I start crying, because for those of us who are DeBarge family fans, we've been waiting for this moment for a long time, for El to be back, to be himself and to give us what he gives so well, that beautiful voice, and lyrics that you – see, part of what makes your stuff so great is that you sing stuff that everybody can sing along with.
We don't sound like you, but the lyrical content – (laughter) well, I do in my shower, of course. But we can sing along and the stuff is just so uplifting. So El, I could not be more happy that you are back, and congratulations.
DeBarge: Thank you so much, Tavis.
Tavis: Oh, man, I'm honored to have you here. The new CD from El DeBarge is called, appropriately again, "Second Chance." If you don't get but one record this year, you have to get this and add it to your collection. El DeBarge, good to have you here. That's our show for tonight.

It is arguably one of the most famous clocks in the world and a team of experts tasked with abseiling down the Big Ben clock tower to give it a good scrub are from Kent, it has emerged.
Ashford-based company Taskmasters secured the cleaning job by scaling the 95.7 metre tower at the Palace of Westminster.
The trained specialists all live in the area and work for the UK's leading height safety and rescue specialist company, based in Dover Place.
Wearing ear defenders to protect against the chimes, the team spent four days - a day on each of the four clockfaces.
The clock was last cleaned in 2010 so - as well as cleaning the clockfaces - the technicians carried out a photographic survey to check the dials for damage.
Taskmasters have a training centre, one of the largest and well-equipped in the UK, teaching people to work at height, in rescue situations and confined spaces.
Each clock face is made up of 312 pieces of pot opal glass, held together by a cast iron framework.

After much internal debating, I finally settled on purchasing Dior Addict Extreme in 643 Diablotine Extreme. This shade, along with 3 others, was also released as a standard Addict lipstick which is lighter in pigment and a touch glossier.
I find Diablotine Extreme to be the perfect red to wear during the day for those who are a little nervous about full-on reds. It's a glossy, see-through red with a very slight coral tint that looks great on a range of skintones. It is gorgeous for the summer and feels fantastic on the lips. Comfortable, gel-like and even a tiny bit nourishing.
Single swipe swatch
One swipe provides the perfect rosy red stained look, while a couple of layers look rich, glossy and vibrant.
Built up, vibrant swatch
I LOVE this lipstick and it's an absolute must buy for me. I do advise trying it on before you invest as these aren't the cheapest of cosmetics and the shades tend to look different on everyone, picking up on the natural subtle nuances in our lips.
Try it, buy it.

What an exciting Sunday it's been! April 22nd, 9.00 am: I reached the Jacob Javits Convention Center bright and early to begin my role as one of the exclusive beauty bloggers at The International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conferences( IECSC) and International Beauty Show, New York (IBSNY)!
The classes at the show truly sounded remarkable. I had a tough time picking the one to attend, so I made it to several. It was wonderful to attend The Medical Spa class on Bio-identical hormones by Dr. Julia Hunter MD. She's such a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced person. I was elated to meet Bonnie Canavino, Red Cherry Group, who gave us an insightful talk on the importance of nutritional skincare marrying organics and high science. She spoke on how nutritional skin care is critical in supporting maximum cosmeceutical response.
At the exhibit floor, the color, the energy was so palpable at IECSC, this year. I visited booths, talked to brands on skincare and beauty, got a mini-facial done, took copious notes, met so many interesting people… and my day just whizzed by! For a food-o-holic like me it was a day to feast on skincare products, cosmetics and beauty! Just didn't get the time nor the pangs for real food:) Some trends I noticed on the IECSC exhibit floor are:
- A lot more products lines this year are leaning towards organic and natural
- Many more products claim to be dermaceuticals and cosmeceuticals rather than just skincare products
- Non-toxic ingredients in skincare is big!
- Biodegradable products are slowly coming into focus; beauty companies are doing their bit to save the Earth
- pheromone enhanced spa products
- A lot of brands are emphasizing the need for more education of estheticians
Catch all the high voltage energy via pictures here on mySkin Facebook!
And I interacted with a knowledge power house and educational whiz on skincare – Laura, CEO of VMV Hypoallergenics. This lady rocks! She shared some awesome information on hypoallergenics and photo allergens. We'll soon be doing a video interview with her too! Keep watching this space.
Its been one memorable Sunday- I came back home all tired, hungry, wet (NY weather gods haven't been too kind in the past few days) and beat BUT enlightened with more than the beauty and skincare knowledge my brain could absorb! It was one amazing show, to say the least!
Cheers! And stay tuned for more…

Use of Backup started option in netbackup vault
Hi All,
Can some one please explain me the brief description about Backup started option in netbackup vault profile?
If the session started on 25th Jan12 to till date ,here we have lot of images on disk. In the case how can i give the start day and end day?
how the vault profile duplicate the image? is it randomly
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
For example:
If the date now is Tue 13 March and it is 19:00
You have the settngs
Backups started between xx days yy hours ago and ff days hh hours ago.
If I set it like this :
Backups started between 10 days and 0 hours ago and 0 days 5 hours ago ..
It would consider duplicating the images from 3rd March 19.00 and 13 March 14.00.
You can adjust this to go back a greater number of days,
Top tip :
When setting the date range for which you want the images to be duplicated, set it for longer than you need. For example, if you wish to duplicate any mage written in the past 24 hrs, set the range for 36 hrs. Occasionally, if nbpem starts a job a little later than normal, it can be possible Vault would miss this image. This will not happen if the range is set as I have explained. Any images already duplicated will not be duplicated again, so setting the range like this will not cause an issue.
Going back to the 25th Jan is probably may images, are you sure your environment can cope with this many images.
Have you calculated if you have enours hors in the day (and enough drives) to run our backups, and duplicate what you backed up day. Have you then got enough resourse to duplicate almost 2 months of extra images.
Vault batches images up for duplication - it is not random.
Backups started between aa days and bb hours ago and ee days ff hours ago ..
This is simply the time periods it will look between to consider images for duplication.
This is easier ...
Backups started between 2 days and 00 hours ago and 00 days 00 hours ago .
If the time is Thu / 13:00 when I run the profile ...
Vault will consider for duplication the images made between Tue at 13.00 until the moment I run the job.
If I make it ....
Backups started between 2 days and 00 hours ago and 00 days 2 hours ago .
Vault will consider images betwen Tue 13.00 and today 11.00 (2 hours ago).
All images are considered, but will only be duplicated if they match the other selection criteria set in the vault profile, and, have not already been duplicated.

Resurgence begins on Pine StreetBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | July 08,2014
Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo Carol Tashie, a decade long resident of Baxter Street in Rutland, speaks about the strength of the communities in the northwest section of the city during a press conference on Pine Street on Monday.The house at 37 Pine St. came down Monday as city and state officials said Rutlands future was looking up.
The demolition of the property, claimed by the city at a tax sale in 2011, was not directly related to the $1.25 million grant Gov. Peter Shumlin announced just a few yards away. However, four more houses like it could be demolished with the grant and seven more rehabilitated.
I really feel most people in the city will see this not just as the removal of a blighted property, but the start of a resurgence, Rutland Redevelopment Authority executive director Brennan Duffy said. This event marks what I would call the culmination of the planning stages. ... Now the real work will begin.
Mayor Christopher Louras said how the properties are acquired will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Duffy said the process will include an appraisal and the city will not be able to pay more than the amount a house is appraised at, while Shumlin assured that eminent domain would play no role in the effort.
The city will use the grant in partnership with NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, which will purchase and rehabilitate the houses as well as assess those to be slated for demolition. Louras said the effectiveness of public-private partnerships was demonstrated first during the cleanup from the 2007 noricane and again during the recovery effort following Tropical Storm Irene.
Now, three years later, the city of Rutland is facing probably its greatest challenge, he said. We learned from those events the key to success is collaboration and partnership.
Louras said Project Vision, the community engagement process launched by the Rutland City Police Department, had made great inroads into getting people and institutions in the Northwest neighborhood working together.
It is through that partnership of Project Vision, through that collaboration, that we recognize locally when some people see blighted properties, we see opportunities and action, he said.
Louras said the grant-funded effort will serve to dedensify the neighborhood, replacing apartment houses with single-family homes and, in some cases, green space that could serve as a playground or community garden.
Project Vision Chairman Joe Krause said the effort would transform the Northwest neighborhood into one of the most attractive places to live in America.
Those are big words, I know, he said. Its not going to happen overnight.
The more immediate effort funded by the grant would not happen overnight, either. Duffy said he was looking at a four- to five-year time frame.

Court: Defendants Were 'Delinquent' But Gonzales Case Lacks Legal Foundation
Publication Date:June 13, 2007
Source:San Jose Mercury News
Author:Barry Witt
Professor Robert Weisberg was quoted in a San Jose Mercury News article about the ruling that was the basis for dismissing the case against former San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales:
Robert Weisberg, a Stanford University law professor, said the judge's ruling left prosecutors with only long-shot options. He called it a strong denunciation of the indictment's legal theories and questioned whether it would make sense to appeal or try again with the grand jury.
"It's an extremely persuasive opinion," Weisberg said.

Research In Motion opened its first BlackBerry retail store in Indonesia, with additional plans to open as many as 12 more stores next year.
The move represents a significant bet that Indonesians will increasingly rely on the popular smartphones in their daily activities, doing things like surfing the Internet at dinner.
"Why Indonesia? [Because] it is a place where people love BlackBerry," said Rohilesh Singh, Research In Motion's country director for Indonesia. "Everywhere I go, I see families are having dinner in a restaurant and every single person at the table has a BlackBerry device."
Rohilesh on Wednesday accompanied RIM's co-chief executive officer Jim Balsillie for the opening of the store, called Lifestyle, at the Mal Kelapa Gading mall in North Jakarta.
The store — Southeast Asia's second after Thailand opened one two weeks ago —will sell BlackBerry devices and accessories, and customer service representatives there will give advice about using BlackBerry products.
Gregory Wade, RIM's regional managing director for Asia Pacific, said the Canadian company was making a big investment.
"We are looking at investments worth millions of dollars to be able to build up these stores and sustain them," Wade said.
Andreas Thamrin, operations director at Global Teleshop, which manages the BlackBerry store, said the investment for 115-square-meter space at the atrium was about Rp 3 billion ($333,000).
"Next, we are going to open 10 to 12 more stores inside malls in Jakarta, as well as other big cities like Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta and Medan," he said. "The investment in total would be around Rp 20 billion."
He said the number of BlackBerry users in Indonesia would continue to increase next year, especially since people will have more disposable income and there will be more affordable handsets in the future.
"Indonesia is one of the few places where BlackBerry is actually growing," he said. "BlackBerry represents about 25 percent of smartphone users [here], so it already has a big community."
BlackBerry devices account for 40 percent of sales for Global Teleshop, which has 250 outlets across the country. Only about 35 of the national retailer's stores are carrying a single brand. Aside from BlackBerry, it had operated outlets for Nokia, Samsung and LG, Andreas said.
Sugiono Wiyono, president director of telecommunication company Trikomsel Oke, which owns Oke Shop gadget store, said that such integrated services suited big cities.
"[RIM] has taken it to the next level. We will see more stores like this in the future," he said, adding that Trikomsel has plans to build a similar store.
Research firm IDC has estimated that the annual shipment of BlackBerrys to Indonesia would reach nearly 4 million by the end of year and 9.7 million by 2015. BlackBerry market share in Indonesia would reach 42 percent by the end of year.

Court Closures & "Access to Justice": a Community Law perspective
In early October 2012, the government announced sweeping changes to court services, including court closures, a reduction in court sitting times, and increasing the use of technology in courts, allowing for example for "remote" appearances in court and for some traditional court services to be provided online.
A few months later, with some of these changes in full swing, Community Law has had a chance to assess the tangible early effects, and to predict the impact further changes to court services across Aotearoa will have.
It is vital at the outset to note that Community Law embraces the idea that government (and other sectors, including our own community sector) can do more to streamline services, improve systems and cut down on bureaucratic red tape. Technology provides some wonderful opportunities to make our justice system more accessible, to reduce inefficiency and hopefully improve outcomes for anyone interacting with the justice system (from victims to offenders, lawyers to court staff, family members to support workers, and judges to police officers). The initiative, for example, to make it possible for people to apply to the Disputes Tribunal online means that New Zealand's most accessible forum for dealing with lower level disputes remains relevant and accessible into the future.
Nevertheless, the question of technology has two distinct thorns: Firstly, 320,000 households in New Zealand, urban and rural, do not have access to the internet (whether because the cost is prohibitive, broadband is not available, or internet literacy is low). Many of Community Law's clients cannot navigate complex government websites, and staff of community organisations or institutions such as public libraries do not have adequate training to assist either. Secondly, technological improvements must be available and operating to a satisfactory standard before court services are further reduced.
Further, Community Law remains concerned that closing small and rural courts, without providing adequate alternative services, is a move against accessibility. Angela Smith, a lawyer at Hamilton Community Law Centre, comments: "We are very concerned about the impact closures will have on the Disputes and Tenancy Tribunals, for example. These tribunals are an integral, low-cost dispute resolution mechanism and hearings are heard at the local court house. If the local court is changed to a hearing-only court and only opened for a specific number of days in the year, the Disputes Tribunal and Tenancy Tribunal hearings in these communities may cease to exist, or people will have to wait a long time to have their dispute heard."
Community Law also believes that the problems arising now in those communities where courts have been closed will be replicated throughout the country. Common issues and complaints are already emerging, such as the often significant expense and difficulty of travelling from home to the nearest court. Assuming someone has a registered and warranted car, the cost of petrol over very long distances is prohibitive. In many places, public transport is severely limited, and does not align with court opening hours. Individuals needing to appear in court may have to cover accommodation and food costs, and may also miss out on a day or more of work and therefore wages. The direct consequence is that many defendants do not show up for appearances, causing adjournments and expensive delays. In the Wellington region, for example, Police have said that more warrants for arrest are being issued. Increased arrests also mean that defendants are being brought to court without their wallets, cell phones and even shoes, and with no obvious means of getting home. Police are using precious resources, when those resources could be better used on other priorities.
We support the Ministry's further moves to simplify complicated court applications and to make it possible to apply for some court orders online. But reducing access is not the best way to improve justice outcomes for our vulnerable and isolated communities. Access to courts is access to justice in a very concrete sense. The vulnerable communities the Courts serve and involve need access to the Courts in order to have confidence in them.
Community Law is concerned at the gap in Court services no longer provided at the doorstep of New Zealand's communities. Although the responsibility for these services lies with Government, by its nature Community Law will try to find ways to step in and fill the gaps. We hope for increased funding levels (and if not increased, then at least maintained) to make this possible. Community Law will continue to monitor the situation and advocate for increased access to justice.

Memorial Coliseum demolition slow to finish
CORPUS CHRISTI - The company demolishing Memorial Coliseum has been plagued with financial problems, equipment malfunctions and bad weather that has delayed work by more than a month.
Contractors with A&R Demolition say there is no end date set.
By now, the site where the building was should be an irrigated grassy area with a repaved parking lot.
Instead, it will take four to eight weeks for contractors to get to that point, said Jerry Shoemaker, the city engineer overseeing the project. The city expects to receive a detailed schedule from the contractor today with an estimated end date.
A&R Demolition crew members on site declined to comment on the demolition progress. A person who answered the phone at the Del Valle office said there was no scheduled completion date but did not elaborate. The former site superintendent left the company last week.
A&R Demolition owes the city $20,000 in delay fees and also owes a local hotel payment for dozens of hotel nights for its workers.
The fees due to the city won't stop there.
The contract requires A&R Demolition to pay the city $500 for every day it falls behind schedule. The $20,000 fee is based on the 40 days the company was behind as of Thursday, but there are four to eight weeks left of work.
The coliseum's demolition started quickly and dramatically, with its facade down within days of a court order allowing demolition to begin. Its roof collapsed in late June.
Since then, the visible progress removing the pile of debris has been slow, and a few remaining support beams stood for weeks. This week, work clearing debris resumed.
The contractor had financial problems and put too few crew members at the site, Shoemaker said.
"There are some concerns with the contractor's performance and resources," Shoemaker said. "We're trying to make sure the project is completed."
The city met with contractors Wednesday to set up a new schedule, but the city didn't get explanations for all the delays, he said.
Crews still need to clear debris, remove the foundation, fill in sod, install an irrigation system and repave a parking lot, according to the original contract that spelled out all the work that needed to be done.
It will likely take between four and eight weeks for all that work to be complete, Shoemaker said.
"They have too small of a crew," Shoemaker said. "They've had equipment break down. They've had personnel changes. They've had continual challenges."
Crews stayed a few weeks at the Budget Inn and Suites, 801 Shoreline Blvd., but the company hadn't paid the hotel, manager Shaok Bhakta said.
Demolition originally was set to cost $585,303 and begin March 15, but a court issued an injunction that prevented work from beginning. The group that requested the injunction, Friends of the Coliseum, signed a surety bond promising to pay delay costs if the order was reversed.
Demolition began May 7 when an appellate court reversed the injunction, but the Friends of the Coliseum members didn't pay the estimated $56,000 cost of delays. The city and the group are in mediation over that fee.
The contract amended after that delay required the site to be cleared by Aug. 12. The city agreed to some delays because of rain in June but not enough to accommodate the weeks of delays, Shoemaker said.
The City Council voted in January to demolish the building after spending more than five years looking for a private developer to reuse the 56-year-old building. The coliseum served as the center for community events from 1954 until the city opened the American Bank Center in 2004.

(UM99-04) - Redistribution under the Social Security Benefit Formula Based on Intermittent Work History Versus Low Wage Rates
Alan L. Gustman and Thomas L. Steinmeier
This study uses earnings histories from the Social Security Administration, linked to the survey responses for participants in the Health and Retirement Study, to investigate redistribution under the current social security benefit formula. As advertised, own benefits are significantly redistributed from individuals with high to those with low lifetime earnings. However, redistribution is roughly halved when spouse and survivor benefits are taken into account and redistribution is measured among families. When families are arrayed by total earnings during years when both spouses are engaged in substantial work, there is very little redistribution from families with high to low earnings capacity.

Its a simple fact of life, the consumer has never been pro-DRM, and for the right reasons. But among the different types of restrictions and scenarios of how DRM is being used today, two specific cases come to mind as examples of poor implementations or just DRM gone awry for the consumer side.
Only this year, three major online music stores (MSN, Yahoo, Walmart) announced they would be taking their DRM servers offline, rendering consumers music purchases useless to play on new computers. Eventually these companies backed down and extended their deadlines by a few years, but in some of the cases its only a matter of time.
On the gaming side, the DRM flop of the year has to be Spore. After much anticipation prior to its release, the game got smashed everywhere online because of the copy prevention software that came built into the game. Just yesterday it was also announced that another hit title, Far Cry 2 will be using the same SecuROM DRM software, though restrictions are expected to be less severe.
Yet, for many these imposed restrictions are enough for not spending any money in online music or games. Is this your case? Have you had good/bad experiences with DRM restrictions as outlined above? How could developers and the music industry create a safer environment to generate sales without punishing the paying consumer?

It's scarcity may be due to the content and it's revelations about the ETS's history. It retells how mass testing was more reflective of the discriminatory and racist views that prevailed at a time when testing was being touted as a time saver and allowing of "proper" placement of individuals into jobs that they were "best suited for."

The Presentation Index
A select group of publicly traded stocks is often used as an index to assess the health of an industry or economic sector. I was looking over one of these indexes today and started wondering what group of stocks might be put together to form a presentation services index? Would it be worth pulling together a short list of presentation hardware, software and service related stocks to form and informal index? Would plotting this on a weekly basis be of any value to those of us working predominately in presentation media? What company stocks would you include?
Does anyone know if anything like this already exists?
Tiny Movies to Go
One of the points made in our SuperTuesday Technology Session at InfoComm was that presentation media will be moving to smaller and smaller screens… that there is relatively strong and rapid convergence taking place between communication and presentation technologies. Here is one example from China where film makers are talking about producing movies from scratch for cell phones.
Meeting at the Beijing Film Academy yesterday, directors representing several generations of Chinese cinema discussed plans to shoot movies expressly for viewing on mobile phones. They believe that the time is ripe to take advantage of the technology, despite the graininess, high compression, and poor sound quality of most mobile phones. This follows the big cell-phone media story from last year, fiction serialized over SMS.
Going Visual
I'm not about to write a review of a book I have yet to read but, if the synopsis and current endorsements are to be believed, this book looks like a promising addition to the library of every visual communications specialist and commercial photographer.
Going Visual, by Alexis Gerard and Bob Goldstein, with a forward by Guy Kawasaki, appears to tap in to the notion that information overload and presentation burn-out can be mediated by judicious use of imagery (primarily digital photographic) to communicate ideas, products and messages. But hey, surely 'one picture is worth a thousand words' has been around for a while now? Well maybe it has, and maybe this book takes it a step further and rewrites the dictum, I'll have to wait until my copy arrives to find out. If anyone out there has already read this book, please comment.
Piling on PowerPoint
Maybe I am just in a bad mood… but I am so tired of superficial condemnations of PowerPoint. I read another one tonight here. I don't know Kathy Sierra… and I am sure she is a swell person… but I don't understand why people feel compelled to write these kind of articles. Kathy acknowledges that she is not an expert in this area, so why bother. She quotes Tufte's writing quite a bit whose work is interesting, but is unsupported conjecture without any solid scientific foundation.
The truth is that there is absolutely no empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of various kinds of PPT visuals or the effectiveness of PPT versus other presentation mediums. You may suggest that a bullet list or other text-based visual is not effective… but it is only opinion because there is no scientific evidence to support this. There have been some limited, superficial attempts to study the effectiveness of certain types of presentations… but these efforts so far have not been very satisfying. I think some thoughtful and well designed foundational studies need to be done in this area.
Sorry for the rant. Chock it up to a long hot North Carolina day.
The Professor on InfoComm
Our own Professor PowerPoint (Tom Bunzel) has written a great summary of his InfoComm experience.
Death by Meeting
I have enjoyed Patrick Lencioni's books The Five Temptations of a CEO: A Leadership Fable and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable… so I was intrigued by the title of his 2004 work: Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable…About Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business. Like all of his books it is an easy read in an allegorical style.
In Death by Meeting Lencioni tackles the problem of ineffective meetings. He suggests that like movies or television shows, meetings should have drama that is born primarily out of healthy conflict. He also suggests that different types of meetings should be organized around different contexts in the same way that headline news, sitcoms, dramas, movies or mini-series all serve different contextual needs.
Although this is not a book about presentations or visuals per se, Lencioni offers lots of ideas about leading successful meetings. Death by Meeting is well worth the relatively short amount of time it takes to read.
Help for PowerPoint Movie Codecs
Thanks to PowerPoint MVP Kathy Jacobs for a link to the site of PFC Media. They make an inexpensive (free to try) add-on for PowerPoint that makes it easier to ensure that media files that are sent out can be played by recipients.
I will review the product in the near future, but this is a cool idea because the failure of the recipient to have a codec is one of the main reasons a movie or sound file will not play properly.
(The other one is broken links).
RSS Popper
Although using a separate RSS feed aggregator has suited me well for home use for some time now (I use Bloglines) when I've tried to sell the concept of RSS to work colleagues I've met resistance along the lines of "not another application to install and learn!". Also, in a corporate environment where downloads and personal installs are disallowed, it's not a good idea to promote rule breaking.
There are occasions when I would like to check feeds while at work however, so for a while now I've been looking for a solution that integrates seamlessly into the 'standard corporate desktop' we all use, in the hope that we may persuade the guardians of our infrastructure that RSS is a useful tool we should be using rather than the 'spawn of the devil' that many of them believe it to be.
This week I've been investigating RSS Popper, an RSS reader that integrates very neatly with Microsoft Outlook. It is a small freeware application, still in development but stable, that seems to work extremely well in my tests so far. It can be set up to use a corporate firewall, via an HTTP proxy, and so is subject to the usual security measures that protect our network.
Because it sits right there in the e-mail client many of us use, you can choose to read the feeds if you want when you check mail – no additional application to open and manage.
You can also tune it to your needs through an easy to use interface (accessible from the Outlook toolbar) and it places all its retrieved items neatly in a folder of your choice, separate from your main e-mail Inbox area if you wish. It supports multiple feeds from the same source (such as Gmail accounts) and – if you are an IE user – right-clicking on a feed button on a web page allows you to subscribe directly to the feed in RSS Popper via an added menu item.
I will probably keep using Bloglines because I've a whole host of feeds in there, but the key ones – like Visual Being – I'll be checking in Outlook as well.
Dropload seems like a really handy way to move files between you and your clients or coworkers when other network options such as FTP aren't available. Might also be a good way to store yet another backup copies of your files when you'll be on the road.
"Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and have them picked up by someone else at a later time. Recipients you specify are sent an email with instructions on how to download the file. Files are removed from the system after 7 days, regardless if they have been picked up or not. You can upload any type of file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each! Recipients can be anyone with an email address."
InfoComm 2005 Wrapup – Super Tuesday Part 1
Some memebers of the Presentation Council hosted a major Super Tuesday event this year. The attendees were extremely happy with the day's content and the presenters and the ICIA seemed equally happy with the attendance figures.
The event had 4 parts:
Technology presented by Bob Befus (a Visual Being contributor)
Design presented by Nancy Duarte
Coaching presented by Fred Barnes
Consulting presented by Jim Endicott
Bob started off by discussing the role technology can play in helping presentation professionals to move up the value chain. He also took care to remind us that although technology is great for extending our capabilities, isn't always the answer (Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible. (Frank Moore Colby, 1865-1925)). He then went on to outline the technologies that presentation professionals need to be paying attention to. These included web conferencing, Flash, PowerPoint alternatives, eXtended events, and mobility. These all boiled down to three key communication trends:
- Web-Everything
- Go Everywhere
- Experience Anytime
Bob was followed by Nancy Duarte who gave a great nuts and bolts workshop on graphic design considerations particular to presentations. She covered templates, branding, aesthetics and motion (although that doesn't really convey depth of the material). There were a number of really wonderful examples of work her firm did for major corporations. We were all pretty amazed at quality of the graphics they somehow coaxed out of PowerPoint's drawing tools. Quotes from her talk:
It's a palette, NOT a painting.
Without contrast, you're dead.
A projector makes your audience color deficient.
There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept. (Ansel Adams.)
I'll conclude this tomorrow (I hope) with Fred Barnes' and Jim Endicott's presentations.
InfoComm 2005 – Favorite Quote
Frank Moore Colby (1865 – 1925) quoted by Bob Befus in his Super Tuesday presentation:
Every improvement in communication makes the bore more terrible.
Nice to know somethings never change.
Thank You-Comm
It is hard to believe that InfoComm '05 is here and gone. It seems like just yesterday that many of us in the Presentations Council were brainstorming about SuperTuesday and the possibility of building a presentation presence on the InfoComm show floor. We have accomplished so much in the last few years! I want to just briefly thank the SuperTuesday presenters, Nancy Duarte, Fred Barnes and Jim Endicott. You all did a spectacular job and it was so much fun working with you on this project. Robert Short, Andrew Quan and Mary Waldera all helped with member coordination and activities…. and our own inimitable Todd Dunn once again led Council members on a show floor tour. Lee Potts has been the backbone of this blog and promoted it heavily in Las Vegas, and Rick Altman was crucial in making our first stab at a presentation technology pavilion a reality… Thanks so much to all of you. This Council is truly an unusual group. It was really great seeing you all last week in Vegas!!
Already the ideas for future Council projects are flying. We will be setting up both a steering committee and a Council-wide phone conference for the end of this month.
Four Universal Axioms
Having returned from a thoroughly enjoyable four days of InfoComm, thought I would share an undercurrent of one of the seminars that I delivered. It was entitled "Avoiding Obnoxious Bullet Slides," and it was a typical be-loud-and-flamboyant-from-the-show-floor type of seminar, lest nobody will stop and pay attention. But I might have hit upon the basis for an interesting article or discussion when I introduced four statements and then brazenly referred to them as "universal axioms of PowerPoint usage." They go as follows:
1. If something moves on screen, members of the audience have no choice but to look at it. It is virtually impossible for you, sitting in the audience, to not look at the screen if something moves, flashes, pops, spins, or even just appears there.
2. In the history of PowerPoint usage, no contract has ever been lost, sale not made, or job not offered because a slide used wipes and fades for animation. They are the quintessential chicken soup.
3. If you create bullets that are complete sentences, it is almost impossible for you, the presenter, to not read them word for word.
4. When you do this, you sound like a complete idiot.
They were designed to be not altogether connected, but upon reflection, I think I can connect the dots and make a pretty good case for these serving as fundamental pieces of advice. I will try to do that very thing in Presentations magazine later in the year…
Rick A.

Why don't they follow up with what the sentence is, after reporting such horrific crimes? That would help others out there know the consequences for such actions.
Actions speak louder than words and the pictures speaks volumes. How could this possibly be the Mayor shunned just four years ago? Did the resident of Newark ever stop supporting Sharpe? What do the photo's say?
Yet, for years we have heard without such photo's to back it up, how popular a Mayor Booker is and how angry Newark is at Sharpe for robbing the city. Show the photo's of Booker at any point surround with such an out pour of support and heart felt acceptance?
Something is wrong. Why hasn't the last four years in Newark reflect the popularity of Booker? Why has the man who has been labeled a demon embraced? To suggest Newark residents are less than sound mind and body to justify this point is ludicrous and a cop out. Maybe it isn't the resident that aren't in touch with what is truly the reality of Newark, it's the people who have been fed a perception that they have no first hand experience to know if it truly exist. Buying sight unseen.
Newark welcomes Sharpe home and it's our right. It's a reflection of the Mayor we know him to be. He is not the distorted embellished image circulated by rumors. We welcome home Sharpe James!
Disaster was spread from Bloomfield ave on one end across to at least Hawthorne Ave. The Central Ward around S. Orange, Springfield Ave, Clinton Ave. All around Irving Turner BLVD. Remember the old Kruger eye sore on top of West Kinney and Irving Turner? Take it up and over to the old Pabst. How about all around JFK Rec Center. How about all of Avon Ave? How about all of Society Hill? How about where St Benedict extended? How about all around the colleges? How about down around Gateway and Raymond Blvd? How about around UMDNJ? How about Bergen Ave from S. Orange Ave to Hawthorne. How about down by Rector St where the PAC is. How about over between the Colonades and the Pavillion? How about along Nye ave? How about the entire Central Ward with the exception of a few places like High Park Gardens? Heck, it's easier to count what is left from the old Central Ward than it is to count all that is new.
My comment of 40 blocks is to show the vastness of changes that have taken place in over 20 years. Where have you been looking?
I said something isn't right with this picture. Booker did nothing for Newark. It was sarcasm saying he did a fantastic job. It's far from fact. If he did, Sharpe's release wouldn't even be a concern for his supporters.
Why must certain people persist in creating the illusion that Newarkers are incapable of their own thoughts? It is this very behavior that I am anxious to be rid of in Newark. Constantly calling me John James is to negate all that I say and make me a resident irrelevant. It is what has been the despair of Newark residents for four years. I am not John, but I have to constantly defend my words as my own. I do not like the type of people the current Mayor has supporting him. They treat resident of Newark as irrelevant and not worthy of a voice in their own city. They want to dictate how we should think and feel. Whenever I don't it's turned into out lashes and stripping me of having any worth as a resident of Newark. When they call me John and I say I'm not and they still say I am it cuts to the fiber of my existence as a human being. It wipes my existence away for mere political gain and that doesn't sit well with me at all. I do not support anyone that has brought this type of degradation to Newark.
If you run over to Bergen County, you might just get the chance to praise Booker all you want. No one is stopping anyone from praising Booker. No one here is praising Sharpe. We are happy for his return. That's the business of the people that care to be happy. What has that to do with anyone that doesn't care for Sharpe? What damage do you suffer? With all the love and supported rumored for Booker, no one supporting him should be bothered in the least about Sharpe. Why does this ill will burn so deep? When Booker is gone, I wish him no harm. I do not begrudge him anything he has gained, I just don't wish for him to govern Newark in 2010. And, by the way Sharpe James poses no threat to Booker. He is not running for Mayor.
Now, where is this documented? How does a Mayor manages to procure a bonus of $75,000,000 from a city contract? Who would even agree to pay it? Is there a check from the contractors written out to Sharpe? Wouldn't that be easy to produce?
As a resident of Newark, I would like to know the facts of this matter. I would like to see the proof of such an outlandish sum of money. I have heard this rumor, but nothing more. Wouldn't that have made for a stronger case and more time? Wouldn't shady deals be a bigger catch, than a short lived fling with a woman that couldn't handle her business? Oh, and it was more than proven that her business dealings were a sign of her incompetence to know what she was getting into.
Well, should that be said about our current councilman Oscar James II? Should he have been barred from political office for the actions of his father, who plead no contest to his charges? Why did Booker place his son on his Booker Team?
I see you're a Devils fan. Well, who made the arena possible? Were you thinking how terrible Sharpe was, when you learned he worked out a deal with the Devils? Did you think he was bad, when he fought to have the arena built, while certain council members did their best to block it? Are you a proud Devils fan? Sharpe really did you wrong on that one!
Did you read the article about how Newark use to have an average of 40 fires a day? Do you know what use to be where Home Depot, AppleBees, that entire area for about a 40 block radius. Did you see the true reason for the meaning of Brick City, the projects? It's all gone because, residents wanted them gone. We did it by expressing these wishes and choosing the Mayor that promised to deliver and Sharpe did just that. It was the vision of the residents to make Newark look better and we voted for it to happen. All of this stuff about voting in a criminal is pure rubbish!
Let's separate the man from the law. Look at "this" case for what it is without inputting other contentions about the individual involved. Look at the case as it was dealt and how it went down. This isn't about Sharpe it's about the miscarriage of justice. If this case was about misappropriation of city funds then all of the hoopla would be justified, but this isn't about that.
This is about what can happen to anyone who is charged with a crime. This is about anyone being targeted for a take down based on everything but what they claim you need to be taken down for. Let's stick to how this case went down and the fairness of all that transpired.
The next time it won't be Sharpe. The next time it could be anyone of us for being in the wrong place, around the wrong people at the wrong time. It's about what will go on in courtrooms in the future. Everyone is so caught up to the atmosphere of taking sides that many are blinded by the bigger picture that is a problem for everyone.
Where in the indictment does it mention Sharpe stealing funds? If there were an indictment for that, he would have been sentenced accordingly. So, how is two years for being found guilty of giving a woman a deal, who didn't follow procedure in the sale of property? Those are the facts and in fact for the verdict that was given the time was not even necessary.
Have you told anyone of this hidden cash? It's not mentioned in the article as a reason for his conviction. In what form was Sharpe ever connected to placing money under floor boards. It's just another wrongful attempt to snuff out the image of another.
If you make the answer up to go along with the question, you won't have to be filled with anticipation. Why not do it, before some one else claims the self serving thunder.
He is a convicted man talking about the conviction he fights to overturn and the people behind it. Who should he talk about considering the topic? Who presented the so called evidence that started the ball rolling? Whether you agree with his comments is one thing, but not understanding cause and effect is another.
OMG-Newark was not just resurrected in the past four years. I would suggest paragraphs and punctuations to break up the rambling. It would help you to better promote Booker.
What I see is you must have a hard time writing policies.
Then why wait over some 32 years of service to indict him? There should be a pile of concrete evidence that "did" put him in jail and then destroyed the key. Yet, here we are and here he is getting out, after less than two years. The question is, when will certain people stop forcing their fantasy of reality? Better yet, does the desire for power and greed ever go away? Destruction is greed's most useful tool.
The so called evidence of credit card fraud was only suggestive, but not compelling enough to move forward with or worth it.
All of the so called evidence turned over to "build" a case against Sharpe were frail and open to interpretation just as all that comes from this administration.
Kenneth Gibson does not live on Mulberry Street. Maybe you meant someone else.

Chrissie Hynde, lead rocker of The Pretenders, is in Los Angeles today with strong words for a WeHo McDonalds, and it's not a message of love. Teaming up with PETA, Hynde will unveil her "I'm Hatin' It" campaign, targeting the famous burger-broker at lunchtime in West Hollywood. She'll also hand out PETA's "Unhappy Meals" that carry a sinister take on Ronald McDonald, a disfigured plastic chicken doll, and a packet of fake blood. Hynde has her own vegetarian restaurant in Ohio, according to Entertainment Daily, and is a committed animal rights activist. Don't get us wrong, we love Chrissie, but if you want to stay off of her bad side, grab a tofu taco today. UPDATE: Due to efforts to rescue animals from the fires, this protest was cancelled.

Talk about a tough start to a week.
Both Point Pleasant soccer teams were held scoreless while being eliminated from postseason play, as the Lady Knights dropped a 7-0 decision to St. Albans on Monday and the Black Knights lost a 2-0 contest to Winfield on Tuesday.
The Point girls finished the season with a 5-10-3 overall mark and must say goodbye to one senior — Erin Hatfield.
Hannah Myers had a hat trick for St. Albans in the Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 semifinals, while Madi Marshall, Maddie Cogar, Katie Smith and Audrey Goode also scored a goal apiece in the victory.
On Tuesday night, the Black Knights were outshot 13-4 at Hurricane High School in a Class AAA Region 4, Section 1 semifinal.
Steven Taylor and Preston Sheldon had a goal each for the Generals, who avenged a 2-0 setback to PPHS last week. Point Pleasant finished the boys season with a 9-7-2 overall mark.
Brady Reymond made 11 saves in net for Point, while Bryce Boggs had four stops in preserving the shutout win.
It was the final soccer game for Reymond, Steven Porter, Nate Thomas, Colby Sayre, Trenton Bailes, Ryan Bonecutter, Tommy Foust and Nick Hatfield in the Black, Red and White.
