Exposing foreclosure myths
First of a 10-part series by the Foreclosure Task Force
Everyone who is having financial difficulties leading to payment problems with their mortgages is seeking real, accurate information on what they can do. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad information going around out there that does nothing but confuse people who are already stressed. The Foreclosure Task Force has compiled this list of the most prevalent myths we have heard in our practices.
Myth: If I short sell, give a deed in lieu or abandon my home then the bank takes care of the balance owed on the loan and that there is no tax consequence for me.
Reality: The bank can either go after you for a deficiency judgment or forgive the debt. If they forgive the debt, there can be major tax consequences due to forgiving the debt.
Myth:: They lost the note that means my mortgage is invalid and I can live for free.
Reality: A lost note is a defense that can be raised in contesting a foreclosure action. The law allows the lender to prove the existence of the note and that they have the right to enforce it.
Myth:: I got served, should I move right now?
Reality: Foreclosure is a process that takes time. Do not ignore the process, but file an answer. The lender is then required to send you copies of all documents filed. Either obtaining representation or maintaining contact with the lender and its lawyers is important to know when and if you have to move. There are options and a professional can help you work through them.
Myth: I heard that bank X is lowering the principal on loans.
Reality: The Home Affordable plan and other government and bank sponsored plans may offer principal reduction as one element, but the current experience is that few lenders are reducing principal as of yet.
Myth: I can keep the house in bankruptcy with no problem.
Reality: You may be able to keep your home in bankruptcy, if it is your homestead and you can keep up the payments. The only real way to determine this is to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
Myth: It is best to wait to negotiate with the bank until after they have started to foreclose.
Reality: In general, banks have recently become much more proactive in their approach to the foreclosure crisis. It is best to contact your lender and a HUD certified counselor and/or an attorney as soon as you know you are in trouble.
Myth: Florida is a state where they do not allow a deficiency judgment.
Reality: This is not true. Florida law allows deficiency judgments in foreclosure cases when the value of the property foreclosed is insufficient to satisfy the debt. The lender must request a deficiency and some lenders actively pursue them.
Myth: I am negotiating a modification with the bank or am working with the bank on a short sale, so I can ignore foreclosure papers if I am served.
Reality: The foreclosure process and the modification/short sale process are two independent processes and both need to be monitored since the two elements often do not communicate well. More than one homeowner has lost their home to a foreclosure sale while in the midst of negotiating with their bank.
Myth: A short sale/foreclosure doesn't affect my credit rating. "They" passed something that took care of it.
Reality: Once you have gone late on your mortgage payments and the foreclosure action has been filed, your credit has been impacted. It is just a matter of how much.
Myth: If I cancel the short sale because I don't like the terms, the Realtors have no claims for commissions.
Reality: The listing agreement and the law may give the Realtor a right to a commission. The initial agreement should be tailored to avoid this possibility.

It's all about prevention.
HCPS district school nurse Melissa Jeffries said a letter will be sent to the homes of all students this week outlining the district's commitment to flu prevention.
Jeffries said HCPS is taking its direction from the Centers for Disease Control and the Kentucky Department of Education.
After more than three days of testimony, Steve Elston has been convicted of reckless homicide.
Elston was charged with second degree murder in the July 6, 2008, shooting death of Joseph Burch. The jury deliberated less than two hours before returning a verdict — one of five options presented by Judge Karen A. Conrad.
The options included finding Elston not guilty, guilty of the original charge, or guilty of one of three lesser charges.
The following facts are not in dispute in the trial of Robert Steven Elston.
On July 6, 2008 Elston pulled the trigger of a .44-caliber magnum discharging one bullet into the chest of Joseph D. Burch, 31, killing the younger man almost instantaneously.
Elston, whose defense team will argue he fired in self-defense, was charged with second-degree murder.
As he sat in court during the trial, he appeared calm and lucid, smiling at family members as he was seated and to whom he clearly wanted to speak.
Eminence is reviving the tradition of Eminence Day on Saturday, Aug. 8. Mayor Jim Pettit and organizers promise a day to remember.
"There hasn't been an Eminence Day at least since I've been in office," he said, "but the council decided they wanted to run with it."
Lee Ann Armstrong is one of three council members who helped organize the event.
For HCHS students Aaron Wedge and Clint Diven it was a very cool way to end summer vacation.
The 16-year olds traveled to five European destinations as student ambassadors through the People to People program.
"There were 29 from Kentucky," Wedge said, "and we met other groups from Maryland, New York and Texas." The Kentucky delegation was matched with the one from Colorado.
The first stop on what was billed as Traditions of Europe was Cahersiveen, Ireland.
Charlie Roach and his twin were young when their father lost interest in a horse hobby. That set in motion Charlie's lifelong passion for the animals.
"Dad had horses when we were growing up like most men buy a boat," he said. "Bob and I were 11 and horse crazy so we took the reins."
Roach still has a firm grip on those reins 45 years later.
His equine career includes training and showing Tennessee Walkers, giving riding lessons and shoeing horses.
The City of Eminence is sponsoring a Cutest Baby Contest for children birth to 23 months, a Cutie Pie Contest for children 2, 3 and 4 years old and a Little Miss and Mister Contest for couples ages 5, 6 and 7. The contests will be held on Eminence Day, Saturday, Aug. 8.
General Manager
Students, faculty and families at Eminence Independent Schools will welcome an old, familiar face to the hallways this year.
Bill Covington, the disgraced former president of Farmer's Deposit Bank in Eminence, has been hired as a special education teacher at Eminence Middle School.
Recently hired HCMS assistant principal Staci Hoene is hardly a newcomer to the Henry County school system. She actually began her educational career at HCMS.
Superintendent Tim Abrams was the middle school assistant principal, and worked with Hoene from 1995 to 1997. At the time, Hoene taught language arts, and Abrams said "she has grown exponentially since then.
Henry County artist Joann Ashby looks forward to summertime, but not for a trip to the beach or lazy days napping in a hammock.
She packs up brushes and paints, potter's clay and wood, and makes the trek to Indian Summer Camp for children with cancer at Shelby County's Camp Cedarmore.
"I've been volunteering 14-15 years," she said. "I started shortly after my treatment for breast cancer."

text: A careful look at John Singleton Copley's lifelike description of the hands in this portrait—notice the subtle touches of white on the fingernails and joints—reveals his great strides toward a realism unmatched by his American peers. This likeness of Abigail Gardiner in a "Turkish-style" gown (then the height of London fashion) conveys the social pretensions of wealthy pro-British loyalists in politically charged pre-Revolutionary Boston. The Gardiners fled Boston at the outbreak of the Revolution in 1776 and permanently resumed their lives in London. Copley himself, whose in-laws were ardent Loyalists, had moved there with his family a year earlier.

Reward offered in stabbing death of Valley luxury-home owner
PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. — Paradise Valley police said the killing of a
resident has been confirmed as a stabbing and that they have several leads in
the case.
However, police said they're not prepared to identify a suspect.
Michael Gilman, 68, was killed at his luxury home April 29. Police want to talk with anyone who knew Gilman. They are offering a $1,000 reward in the case for information that leads to an arrest.
A personal assistant called 911 after finding Gilman's body in his
home near 54th Street and Lincoln Drive, where he lived alone.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Silent Witness at (480) WITNESS.

Restraint and Seclusion in Schools
May 28, 2009
According to USA Today, a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report reveals a series of alarming cases involving the restraint and seclusion of students with disabilities, including many with mental illness. Thousands of students are secluded or restrained in America's schools each year, including hundreds of cases where the practices are abusive or deadly.
The report notes that currently there is no federal system that regulates such practices in schools, unlike in hospitals and residential treatment centers, and teachers are often inadequately trained. State laws regulating the use of restraint and seclusion also vary.

Great office! I have no health insurance and this is the only doctor's office that would tell me the price of a doctor's visit before I went into the exam room. The doctor was wonderful, he was knowledgeable and caring. I felt so much better knowing why I didn't have so much energy and headaches. Dr. Tan spent time with me and listened to me. He was patient with me and let me know all my options before doing anything. I would recommend this office to my friends and family.

Story: I drive a LOT all over southern CO for work. My GTI is almost 2 and already has 55K miles on it. Work makes me commute long hours every day but I really enjoy it.

(legg-ings :ˈlegiNGz/
1. What middle school boys look at instead of a chalkboard when teachers start speaking.
Ex. "I could do my classwork, but I can't focus with so many leggings around.")
Leggings are pretty powerful. The stretchy bottoms are sometimes criticized for not being pants, but more importantly, they can also lead a school to crumble under their power — or at least really piss off teachers.
(We're tortured with indecision over what's worse — that girls have been getting sent home from Haven for wearing leggings, or that bright futures are being ruined at every hallway turn by formfitting pants.)
Student Sophie Hasty, 13, protested the rule along with 500 other students. She told Jennifer Fisher of the Evanston Review, "Not being able to wear leggings because it's 'too distracting for boys' is giving us the impression we should be guilty for what guys do."
It gets worse. A Haven parent, Julia Bond, told Fisher "students who were getting 'dress-coded,' or disciplined for their attire, tended to be girls who were more developed."
Another student, Lucy Shapiro, 12, confirmed this, revealing "when both she and a friend were wearing the same type of athletic shorts… a teacher came up and 'dress-coded' her, but not her friend" because, she was told, "I had a different body type than my friend.
Oddly the school's principal, Kathy Roberson, sent a letter home saying that leggings aren't banned, but the dress code rule that appears on the school's web site says "shorts, dresses, and skirts must extend closer to the knee than the hip, short shorts or skirts and leggings are unacceptable attire."
The rule's under review, and they better hurry up with so many dangerous girls in leggings on the loose or face the dip in achievement for Illinois Mathletes.

Over the past year, I have been writing about the activities and programs of the Cape & Islands Workforce Investment Board. A very important constituency of the WIB is the emerging workforce, youths under 25 years old. We invest in a number of programs designed to service at-risk youth, both those still in school and those who have left school.
The Cape & Islands Youth Council is the WIB committee that is directly responsible for activities related to the emerging workforce. The Council is a 34-person committee, organized as its own Board of Directors, with six subcommittees. The members of the Youth Council include representatives from the District Attorney and Sheriff's offices, and representatives of schools across the Cape and Islands including high schools, Cape Cod Community College and Massachusetts Maritime Academy. The Council also has representatives from local businesses, social service agencies, state youth service agencies and private citizens.
The Youth Council is a mandated activity of the WIB, required by our federal enabling legislation. Here on the Cape & Islands, though, the Youth Council has taken on a much larger role than the legislation requires.
One important role that the Youth Council plays is to recommend to the WIB which programs should be funded with the annual allotments of the federal Workforce Investment Act funds to In School and Out of School Youth programs. The Youth Council oversees a competitive RFP process to determine eligible programs to fund. In the past the Council has funded the Barnstable High School PM and ALP programs, the Rebecca Amos Institute at Martha's Vineyard High School, and the Step up to Success program, which was a collaborative effort of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, Harwich High School and Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School.
The Youth Council has, over the past few years, undertaken a number of projects designed to assist older youth on the Cape & Islands. The Council gives out two $1,000 scholarships each year: one goes to a student graduating from an alternative education program and going on to higher education, the second is granted to a graduate who needs to purchase tools for the trade he or she will be entering.
The Council also publishes a guide to Alternative Education Programs across the Cape & Islands. The guide is updated every year and serves as a directory of school and community based programs for youth are not succeeding in traditional high school settings. The program listings include contact information and eligibility information.
This year the Council received a grant to develop a Web site for older youth focused on employment, training and education resources available locally. The Website, www.CapeJobsASAP.com, was designed and created by six Cape Cod Regional Technical High School students and a student from Cape Cod Community College.
The Council is designing a Work Readiness Skills Certification program which can be instituted in school settings, Career Opportunities Centers, churches, and many other locations. This program is being created to help young people meet employers' expectations. Many employers have voiced concerns that students start their first job without knowledge of many essential "soft skills," such as dressing appropriately, showing up on time, and most importantly communication skills.
Another project the Youth Council is involved with is hosting an up to date and comprehensive list of Cape & Islands Youth Service Providers. This list is maintained electronically for easy access and easy updating. The current list can be found on the WIB's Web site, www.ciwib.org.
For more information on any of the above projects, to obtain a copy of the Alternative Education Guide or to add your company or agency's information to the Cape & Islands Youth Service Provider Directory, please contact Courtney Garcia, Youth Council Coordinator, at 508-775-5900, or

text: On August 4, 1914, Germany declared war on and subsequently invaded Belgium, a declared neutral in the escalating conflict between France, Russia, and the allied countries of German and Austria-Hungary. Europe at the time had been spoiling for a war, and the Byzantine tangle of pacts, treaties, and agreements ensured that it was only a question of when, not if, the entire continent would find an excuse to kit up and march off to battle. That excuse came in June of 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian radicals. And so the dominoes fell. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Serbia was allied with Russia, who had no choice but to declare war on Austria-Hungary. Germany was allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and so declared war on Russia. France, which had treaties with Russia, thought about staying neutral in the matter, but that became a moot point when Germany declared war on them, launching an offensive that bulldozed its way through Belgium en route to France and brought the United Kingdom into the war as a result of a pact Britain had with Belgium.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Kent Labrum sits behind a half dozen monitors in his office at Carbon High and watches what is happening on the campus.
Labrum can also tap into cameras at Mont Harmon Junior High. But in his job as security officer for Carbon district, he spends the majority of his time in the halls and public areas of the schools.
"It's important that I stay in contact with the kids," he says. "They need to see me and know that they can come to me and talk."
In recent weeks, Labrum's job has taken on more importance due to what happened in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Missouri and Wisconsin. It is his job, along with administrators and faculty to keep the schools in Carbon County safe.
Up until a week and a half ago, many people thought school violence occurred in other areas. But after the shooting of 10 girls at an Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster, Pa., people started realize violence can happen everywhere.
In the same week, another shooting and death occurred in Colorado and a principal was killed in Wisconsin at a small suburban school. Earlier this week, a boy in the mid-west brought an AK47 assault rifle to school. He fired the weapon into the ceiling of the building before rifle jammed and school personnel were able to wrestle it away from the boy.
Ever since the Columbine High shootings, school districts have become more concerned about security, even in small, seemingly quiet places like Price. Much has been written about he subject and how to resolve the problem. But when people ask administrators and other school personnel, it comes down to communication with the studentbody.
Unless the schools became like prisons with guards at all entrances, bars on the windows and wire surrounding the campus, no one can prevent an individual from attempting to injure students or staff.
But in the cases of violence with guns or bombs, someone other than the perpetrator knows about the plan and that is the key to security. Students need to be listened to and taken seriously when they report something they have heard.
School security is nothing new. As far back as the 1950s, some suburban schools began to hire security personnel, primarily to handle the integrity of buildings when they were not in use.
Since then, the role of security personnel has increased. In some places, county sheriffs or city police have officers in the schools.
In many larger districts along the Wasatch Front, small security forces that used to check for unlocked school doors have turned into full-fledged law enforcement agencies with certified officers, police cruisers and a myriad of weapons. At least one district has a detective working within the security organization.
"We have done a lot of things over the years in terms of action and planning to keep our students safe," said Superintendent David Armstrong on Tuesday. "Our main goal is education, but you can't do that if you don't have a safe environment in which to learn."
Armstrong indicated that he, Labrum and district maintenance supervisor Deon Kone have developed emergency plans and protocols for all the schools.
Emergencies are more than a man with a gun and can include natural disasters or accidents such as hazardous materials spills near schools.
The district has also been meeting with local law enforcement agencies on all the plans.
"In Helper, we have schools near a major highway and between two sets of rail lines," said Armstrong. "The plan was always if there was problems at one school, students would be moved to the other school. But they are only a block apart and, if something like a spill happens, it will affect both campuses. We have worked on evacuation plans that are up to date for all the schools and continue to improve them."
Accidents are one thing, but intentional disasters are a different matter.
Labrum's main base is at Carbon High, but he visits all the schools. He often is doing training and communication with faculty and administrators in other buildings. Communication with authorities is important. He has a cell phone programmed with all emergency numbers and a radio with a direct line to county dispatch so he can call for backup.
"I also have a couple of part-time security personnel who work at night as well, patrolling the buildings and checking for problems," explained Labrum.
But daytime security is still a concern. Administrators and teachers across the district are trained to keep kids safe.
"We have been moving toward having only one entrance in a school where people can come in from the outside," pointed out Armstrong. "Tom Montoya (principal at Helper Junior High) has it set up so the only door people can enter during the day to get into the school is the front door. People can leave by the other doors, but the only unlocked entry is the front. In the new elementary school we are building in Sunnyside, none of the doors except the front will be for entry."
Recently, there has been talk around the country of arming teachers. But many people don't like the idea, including the superintendent.
"Having faculty armed in a school could be a problem should something go wrong," said Armstrong. "I don't think that is a very good idea."
One of the problems that arises during any kind of school crisis is often the crush of parents trying to get to their kids without having full information about what is going on. Armstrong says that the board of education is looking at a system that will solve some of that problem should a crisis arise.
"Next week, in school board meeting we will be discussing a system called Parent Link," he said. "I think that would be a good system for us to use not only for getting information to parents about some things going on in the district but also in an emergency situation."
Parent Link is a system that automatically informs all parents by phone, and possibly e-mails, about what is going on at a school. The district would call the company that operates the system and they would have a data bank of phone numbers to all the parents that have children in that school. A message from the district would be recorded about the situation and then all the parents would be called by the automated system. The call would let them know about the emergency, giving them information about the situation, and if and where they could pick their children up.
"It's a system that would stop some of that confusion in an emergency situation," said Armstrong.
As for school preparation, teachers run drills and work with kids on safety in the school concerning all kinds of situations.
"Remember, when we were kids we had earthquake and fire drills," said Armstrong. "Now we have those and other kinds of drills as well, such as lock down and evacuation drills. The first job of a teacher is to keep the kids in their care safe. And we continue to work toward doing that."
For Labrum, his job of security in the schools is not only important, but it is also a labor of love.
"This is a great job and I get to do a lot of interesting work," noted Labrum. "But most of what school security is about is knowing what's going on and having contact with the kids so that you can be sure you are on top of things. If we can prevent problems, it's a lot better than trying to solve them when they occur."

Scott Horton Interviews Steven Greenhut, Gene Berkman and John Seiler
Steven Greenhut, Gene Berkman and John Seiler, friends and coworkers with the late Alan Bock, discuss Alan's life and legacy; his libertarian roots dating from the late 60s; his advocacy of free market environmentalism; and his consistently good-humored nature – in contrast to the typical cantankerous libertarian – during a writing career dedicated to freedom and anti-interventionism.
MP3 here. (50:21)
Alan Bock was an editorial writer and opinion page editor at the Orange County Register, a longtime columnist for Antiwar.com and the author of four books: Ecology Action Guide (1970), The Gospel Life of Hank Williams (1976), Ambush at Ruby Ridge (1995) and Waiting to Inhale: The Politics of Medical Marijuana (2000).
Steven Greenhut is director of the Pacific Research Institute's Journalism Center and was a deputy editor and columnist for The Orange County Register. He is author of the 2004 book Abuse of Power: How the Government Misuses Eminent Domain.
Gene Berkman owns the legendary Renaissance Books bookstore in Riverside, CA. He helped found the Libertarian Party in California in the early 70s.
John Seiler has been an editorial writer with The Orange County Register for 19 years. He is also is the managing editor of CalWatchDog.com

2008. USA. Taylor Greeson. 77 min.
Sunday, November 23, 2008, 3:45 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
2008. USA. Directed by Taylor Greeson. "When I was twelve years old, my brother was murdered, I lost my virginity to a twenty-year-old man, and I was ordained with the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." So begins Meadowlark, Taylor Greeson's quietly devastating self-portrait, in which the filmmaker tries to make sense of those twinned experiences of tragic loss and first love. Greeson weaves together footage shot in his native Montana and in New Mexico with home movies, taped phone conversations, newspaper clippings, forensics reports, and testimonials by family members, investigative officials, and even the murderer himself to create an autobiographical documentary that is at once mysterious, haunting, and full of grace. 77 min.

Aaaah ha! A clear chart for deciphering exactly what those little symbols mean on garment tags. If you guys have any links to other charts please do share in the comments. Link.

cool! the "do not dry" symbol is interesting. so, i'll wear that wet then….

I've always been so confused with the dots for cold, warm and hot water temperature. We (Sweden) use degrees, so what is 40 degrees C, cold or warm? It just doesn't match up no matter how much I try, we usually wash at 30(86), 40(104), 60(140) or 95(203) degrees C(F). So whenever I'm in America I always was everything in cold, just to make sure I won't ruin anything. Other than that the symbols are pretty much the same, the dry-clean symbols usually have a letter for the comical to be used inside the circle.

I did not realize there was a Soap and Detergent Association. I wonder if they are accepting new members? I have always been a great fan of soap in all its forms.

MADISON, Wis. -- The Badgers (1-0) take to the road for the first time this season, traveling to the state of Washington for two games. Wisconsin takes on Gonzaga (2-0) on Friday in Spokane, Wash. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. CT. On Sunday, the Badgers travel just down the road, moving to Pullman, Wash., to take on Washington State (0-2) at 3 p.m. CT.
"It will be a good test for us," said head coach Bobbie Kelsey. "We have to match the intensity, exceed the intensity, of both of those games and see if we can come back with two wins."
The Badgers had four players score in double figures against Milwaukee as they recorded a 74-56 victory on Sunday in the team's opener. After missing both exhibition games, Taylor Wurtz led Wisconsin with 16 points, while sophomore AnnMarie Brown tallied her first career double-double with career highs of 11 points and 10 rebounds.
"It's always nice to have a player of Taylor's caliber on the court," said Kelsey. "We look to her for leadership and for scoring and just being out there."
Three freshmen played five-or-more minutes against the Panthers, tallying career bests. Nicole Bauman scored a career-high 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. The 5-10 guard also pulled down five rebounds, added two assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes of play.
Under head coach Kelly Graves in her 13th season, Gonzaga returns nine letterwinners from last year's 28-6 team. The Bulldogs made it to the NCAA Sweet 16, before losing to Kentucky.
Sophomore Keani Albanez leads the Bulldogs with 17.0 points per game this season. Junior Haiden Palmer is the other Bulldog to score in double figures in both games, averaging 13.5 points. The 5-8 guard also leads the team in steals, recording 11 so far this season. Palmer is the one of two returning starters for Gonzaga.
"They're a good measuring stick for where we want to be and where we have to be to compete in the Big Ten," said Kelsey. "I think it will be a very good game for us."
Washington State is 0-2 on the season after losing two overtime games on the road. WSU dropped an 87-83 double overtime decision at Minnesota on Nov. 10 before losing to South Dakota State in overtime 65-56 in the consolation final of the Best Buy Classic in Minneapolis.
Freshman Lia Galdeira leads the Cougars with 22.5 points per game this season. Galdiera set a Washington State freshman single-game record with 33 points as the Cougars dropped their season-opener to Minnesota.
"Washington State, they beat us last year," said Kelsey. "They did graduate some of their heavy hitters as well. So we're looking forward to playing them. They always play well, very well coached team, and they will play hard."

It looks like a Weprin switcheroo in Queens.
The 24th Assembly District in northeast Queens may be trading one Weprin for another as outgoing City Councilmember David Weprin announced that he will run for his brother Mark's vacant Assembly seat.
David, who decided not to seek re-election to the City Council and ran a failed bid for City Comptroller earlier this year, said he will run in a yet-to-be-called Special Election for the Assembly seat that will likely take place in February or March. The Assembly seat is open because Mark was elected to the City Council in November, and he will take over the seat David held for the past eight years.
"I know the community, and I know what's involved with the job and the legislative process," David told The Courier. "I'm looking forward to serving the community and continuing public service."
After David finished a distant fourth in this year's September Democratic primary for City Comptroller, talk about his future plans immediately heated up. David said that State Senate Democratic Conference Committee Chair John Sampson and Senate President Malcolm Smith both approached him and asked if he would be interested in running against longtime Republican State Senator Frank Padavan in 2010.
Although David said he considered running, he decided that with the Special Election for the Assembly seat coming up in early 2010, he wanted to focus his energy on that. However, he did say that if the Senate Democrats did not find another candidate to take on Padavan, he would listen to them again.
"In politics, you never say never, but it's not on my radar screen now," said Weprin, who made the announcement on Thursday, November 19 at a joint meeting of the Saul Weprin and Eleanor Roosevelt Democratic Clubs.
Although David is seen as the prohibitive favorite for the open Assembly seat, Democrat Bob Friedrich, who is the President of the Glen Oaks Village Co-op, said he is seriously considering accepting an invitation from the Republican Party to run on its line in the special election.
"I think the voters are being manipulated by what I call this orchestrated swap of seats," said Friedrich, who called the "switch" offensive.
Friedrich said that when the Governor calls for a special election, it is up to the District Leaders to nominate who will run for the seat. In the case of the 24th Assembly District – two of the four District Leaders are Mark and David Weprin.
"Democrats like myself have been completely eliminated from the process," Friedrich said.
If David is elected to the Assembly, he will continue a tradition of having a Weprin in the Assembly. David and Mark's father, Saul Weprin, served in the Assembly from 1971 through 1994, including serving as Speaker for the last four years. When Saul died in 1994, Mark successfully ran for his seat and served in the Assembly for the past 15 years.
Meanwhile, David believes his experience in the City Council and the fact that he is taking over Mark's seat bode well for both him and the community.
"I hope to hit the ground running and be more than a regular freshman Assemblyman," Weprin said.

NPCA Teams Up with Creative Action Network to Reimagine FDR's "See America" Campaign.
By Scott Kirkwood
The relationship between artists and our national parks goes back to the very beginning, when Alfred Bierstadt and Thomas Moran put oil to sprawling canvases and introduced Americans to Yosemite and Yellowstone. Over the years, artists have helped persuade our leaders to set aside these special places and inspired millions of visitors to see them with their own eyes. One chapter that left a lasting impression was the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, when President Franklin Roosevelt launched the "See America" campaign. The goal was to put artists to work during the Great Depression, to remind Americans of the marvels their country had to offer, and encourage people to seek them out. Ninety years later, an arts and advocacy organization in San Francisco is launching a "See America" campaign for the 21st century.
"We started the Creative Action Network a few years ago, inspired by the research we'd done around the New Deal Arts Project," says Max Slavkin, one of the organization's co-founders. "We loved the idea that the government put artists to work for important causes, to create content for federal agencies that had important information to share. And the work they generated lives on, nearly 100 years later."
The Creative Action Network (CAN) began in 2008 with "Design for Obama," which sought to engage artists after the iconic Shepard Fairey "Hope" poster went viral. "The idea was to create a space for all the other artists who were fired up about the candidate, but who weren't famous street artists with the support and resources to get their work into the public eye," says Slavkin. "We wanted to help those artists contribute to the campaign, not by phone banking or campaigning or traditional grassroots activities but by using their skills as artists." The effort took off, generating hundreds of works of art and resulting in a compilation of images bound into a book co-authored by famed director Spike Lee.
When it was over, several of the artists asked, "What's next?" at which point Slavkin and CAN co-founder Aaron Perry-Zucker started to take the project more seriously. The next campaign focused on gun violence just as the issue was gaining widespread attention as a result of the shootings at Newtown, Connecticut, and the Trayvon Martin case in Florida. Images from that campaign appeared all over Facebook, and an illustration of Martin Luther King, Jr. wearing a hoodie went viral after the Martin verdict was announced.
The group then used its crowd-sourcing muscle to generate new covers for classic books now in the public domain, like Don Quixote, Dracula, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which made a big splash on Pinterest. In the summer of 2013, Slavkin's team returned to their roots by revisiting the iconic "See America" campaign, seeking out NPCA as a partner in the process.
"I love the idea of making conservation patriotic, American," says Slavkin. "It's not a 'hippy dippy' activity or some luxury to pursue when we have more time and money—it's a core part of our identity as a country. That's what those posters represent. That simple graphic style has become popular again, and the time feels right to revive the idea of the environment and parks as hip and cool and patriotic and no longer a fringe political issue."
In the era of smartphones and Facebook, the idea of printing posters may seem outdated. But there's something to be said for the simplicity of a single image and a few words—it doesn't seem to matter if the product is crafted on computer software and spread on social-networking sites or cooked up on a canvas and plastered to a wall.
The reincarnation of "See America" officially kicks off at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, on January 10, 2014, with an exhibit that will remain on display through the summer. CAN is hoping to exhibit posters at events in every state throughout 2014; plans for Los Angeles and San Francisco are already under way.
Want to get involved? If you're an artist, produce a poster of your own and upload it to the Creative Action Network site—you'll receive 40 percent of the sales generated by the posters and related products. Can't draw a square to save your life? Purchase items on CAN's website to support artists and show off your love of the parks, or just share some of your favorite images on Facebook, Pinterest, or other social-networking sites.

College Faculties A Most Liberal Lot, Study Finds

The real ideocy is that it required a formal study. One must wonder about the intelligence of anyone that took part in the study. That's like a headline in the morning paper about a study to determine whether or not the sun will rise tomorrow.
