Kandi Regrets Being So Open About Her Marriage On Tv
During this past episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta," Kandi and Todd have been on two different pages. There were several communication issues that seemed to trip them up. Kandi's play was canceled and in response Todd asked her if she "did her research." And though he might have been trying to provide a solution or rationalize the cancelation, it came off as dismissive and insulting. Of course she did her research! Kandi is a businesswoman. But I digress.
Then when the two were in LA filming, Todd decided that he was going to hang back for a few days afterward and kick it with his boys.
This compounded by the fact that they'd only had sex once that week, led Kandi to believe that he might be stepping out on her. And Kandi told her friend Carmen that she suspected Todd of cheating. Sadly, all of this took place on camera.
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times; when it comes to relationships, sometimes it's just better to keep your drama and messiness behind closed doors. And as a newlywed, Kandi is also learning that lesson.
In her blog for Bravo Kandi wrote:
As soon as Todd and I got married he had to leave for LA to start production on his show. We went from being together every day to going weeks without seeing each other. It took some time to adjust. Things were tense for a short period of time, but we're great now. I do regret talking about it on TV. I'm a very open person, but I'm learning that it's not always a great idea to be an open book when it comes to your marriage.
Let the church say Amen!
We could go on and on about the couples whose marriages have failed with the help of reality tv. Though most of us don't have cameras in our homes, the same concept applies when you consider telling your friends about every argument and issue that arises in your relationship. Sometimes…no, most times, it's better to work it out amongst yourselves, or with a neutral third party, and keep it moving.
Basically, when you tell your friends and family about the drama in your relationship, they're listening as people who are loyal to you…not your man or partner. They'll be looking at him crazy from now until eternity if you ever mention anything he might have done wrong. Even after you've moved past the argument and the dust has settled, your people will still be holding a grudge. Not to mention, you conveniently forgot to tell them how you were acting a fool. They weren't there for his apology and the resolution and you didn't update them on how his behavior has changed for the better. One, because those make up stories aren't as juicy and two, because they're not in the relationship and have little incentive to forgive his offenses.
That's just what happens when you invite outside opinions into your relationship.
And that's what Kandi is doing by discussing her relationship with Todd, not only with her friend, but with millions of viewers around the country and world. Inviting them to cast judgment without knowing even half of the story. As one of my coworkers mentioned, it also adds fuel to that very messy fire Mama Joyce started. God knows the world doesn't want her to be right about Todd. But I'm sure listening to Kandi discuss what seem like normal communication issues is making her feel really validated right now.
But it's hard not to discuss your relationship when you roll deep with your man and cameras are following you around all the time. As we were discussing this at work, someone suggested that it might be time for Kandi and Todd to step away from RHOA in an attempt to preserve their marriage. I'll be honest, my first reaction was "Nooooo." I don't even watch RHOA anymore but when I did, I always appreciated Kandi's levelheadedness and her ability to avoid the cattiness that has been associated with the show. If she leaves, doesn't it seem like all hell will break loose? Who is going to bring the ackright?
And while the show might take yet another dip in classiness, it just might help to keep Kandi and Todd together.
DC Names New Director Of African American Affairs, Rahman Branch
"There's a need for this kind of office because the growth of D.C. and the expansion of D.C. and making sure every resident of D.C. plays a part in that is really what the community has requested," said Branch.
More than three years have passed since the D.C. Council created an unpaid Commission on African-American Affairs to "assist the Mayor in planning policies beneficial to African American communities with low economic, education, or health indicators." Branch will be its first full-time director.
"The Commission on African-American Affairs, meanwhile, is gathering data on the exodus of the city's black residents and businesses, and analyzing the disparities affecting those who remain," reports The Washington Post.

Another Historic Black Church Gone: DC's Alexander Memorial Baptist Sold For $6.5M
Another historic Black church is being sold, this time in the Georgetown section of Washington DC. Over the years, the 106-year-old Alexander Memorial Baptist Church has seen its congregation shrink and it is for this reason the pastor says the building will be sold to a developer for $6.5 million. In May, Atlanta's oldest Black church, Friendship Baptist Church sold its building for $19.5 million to make room for the new Atlanta Falcons stadium. Condominiums or townhouses are expected to be built on the site of Alexander Memorial.
It is reported that Reverend Jesse Plater, who has been the pastor at Alexander Memorial for the last eight years, is looking for a school auditorium to hold services temporarily. This has left some churchgoers dismayed.
"So, if we don't have a place to go, why are you still selling the church?" member Alfred May asked WJLA-ABC News. "Don't sell this church because you can't maintain a congregation," May said. "Someone else can. Another pastor can come in and draw the people."
They are also complaining that the pastor sold the building for less than it's worth. Homes in Georgetown sell for at least $1 million, so some say the AMBC lots and buildings should have gone for more.
"I guess he thinks $6 million is a lot of money, but if you gonna get another church … build another church, that's no money," said another church member.
According to the church's website: "The formation of the Alexander Memorial Baptist Church began on July 26, 1908, with a group of worshippers from the First Baptist Church of Georgetown…They named the church after the Reverend Sandy Alexander, the founder of First Baptist. In 1909, the church purchased property located in the Georgetown Section (2709–2717 N Street) of Washington, DC and constructed a church building. The cornerstone was laid later that year. Rev. Carroll served as the minister until his resignation in 1914."
Other Black churches in Washington, DC, have been bought and turned into condominiums as well, such as Faith Baptist Church on Capitol Hill and Mt. Joy Baptist Church.
Do you think the pastor is wrong in this case?

The Government Shutdown Will Hit Black Federal Workers Hardest
The government shutdown will most immediately affect the livelihoods of thousands of federal workers, but it will be black federal workers who will be hit the hardest.
"The shutdown will impact in different ways some of the nation's more than 2 million civilian workers, about a fifth of whom experts estimate to be people of color," reports TheGrio.
African Americans represent approximately half of the minorities who would be out of work, according to various data.
President Barack Obama says he knows how dire this situation is. In a speech yesterday, he warned that as "America's largest employer," a federal government that's ceased operations could cause widespread distress.
"Office buildings would close. Paychecks would be delayed. Vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and our economy depend on would be hamstrung," the President said. "Business owners would see delays… in permits, " he added. "Veterans who've sacrificed for their country will find their support centers unstaffed. Tourists will find every one of America's national parks and monuments, from Yosemite to the Smithsonian to the Statue of Liberty, immediately closed."
Hundreds of thousands of public servants who remain on the job will do so without pay, Obama said. And several hundred thousand more are indefinitely furloughed without pay.
Federal employees aren't the only ones upset.
In Washington, D.C. , the Mayor Vincent C. Gray called everyone back to work. He declared all District government operations as "essential" during the federal shutdown and sent a letter to the head of the federal Office of Management and Budget explaining his decision. But some lawyers called this action illegal.
"I have determined that everything the District government does – protecting the health, safety and welfare of our residents and visitors – is essential," said Gray in a radio address.
"It is ridiculous that a city of 632,000 people – a city where we have balanced our budget for 18 consecutive years and have a rainy-day fund of well over a billion dollars – cannot spend its residents' own local tax dollars to provide them the services they've paid for without Congressional approval," the Mayor said.
Some government services will continue. Seniors on Social Security receive their checks, mail delivery will continue and government operations related to national security or public safety will go on.
We have some tips that will hopefully be of some service to the workers who have been furloughed. Check them out here.
'Scandal' Watch Series Becomes Interactive In Washington, DC For Season Premiere
From Black Enterprise
Imagine merging the book club concept and television viewing party concept. What if this new cultural interactive event was framed around the ABC hit series Scandal? It could be quite the social media phenomenon. Cultural architect Risikat "Kat" Okedeyi of LiL SoSo Productions, Inc., and Capitol Hill power couple Danielle and Aisha Moodie-Mills of the weekly politics and pop culture show Politini, will produce and curate a weekly Scandal Watch.
"This event is a tremendous way to catalyze culture and community in the new, fashionably political Washington, or Poliwood, as we call it," says Danielle. Aisha adds, "Politini sparks dialogue that integrates our social, cultural, and political selves, so it's exciting to construct a salon that galvanizes the enthusiasm of all layers of D.C.—Politicos, Creatives, and Social Entrepreneurs alike."
The Scandal Watch kick-off will coincide with the season premiere of the popular television drama (now in its third season) on October 3rd in Washington, DC. The event will begin with an exclusive live streamed videotaping of Politini, featuring a panel of political and cultural influencers who will turn a critical eye on Scandal to discuss how creator/writer Shonda Rhimes' (also of ABC TV's Grey's Anatomyfame) multi-ethnic and multi-dimensional characters defy stereotypes and shift culture.

All He Needed Was A Nap: Tyrese Passes Out In Nightclub Due To Exhaustion
"Sleep is for sucker," huh? Well, tell that to Tyrese who wishes he could get more of it.
The solo singer and member of new R&B group TGT (Tyrese Ginuwine Tank) was at The Park nightclub in Washington, D.C. Friday night when he unexpectedly hit the floor. According to TMZ, he was literally in the midst of partying when he fainted. He hit the dance floor so hard he hurt his arm (as you can see in the picture).
A spokesperson for Tyrese told TMZ "Tyrese has been going non-stop since July promoting his new TGT album." I know, some of you are thinking that's only been a few weeks but adding on that constant traveling, it could be make for a very weak body.
Tyrese posted the photo of his arm in a sling with a caption reading that he just couldn't wait to get back to his daughter in Los Angeles. He should be back by now and hopefully, able to get a little rest before he says to get back on that promotion train.
Your health is super important and although we may laugh and talk about celebrities, many of them do have grueling schedules (similar to many of us who work long hours or have multiple jobs) that cause them to rarely get a decent night of sleep.
Feel better, Tyrese!

Morning Preciousness: FLOTUS Gets Down With Pre-K Class
Michelle Obama kicked off her Memorial Day weekend with soul. On Friday, while most of us were sitting at the desk, waiting for the clock to strike five, Mrs. Obama visited Mrs. Lyons Pre-K class, in Washington, DC, for a "funky good time."
While she was there she played "Freeze Dance" with the students as they danced along to James Brown's "Doing It To Death." You would think the kids would be a little hesitant to dance in front of the First Lady of the United States, but these kids, from Savoy Elementary School, were ready to shake something. The kids were singing along, hopping around, looking at Mrs. Obama for approval and encouragement, and one student did his version of "The Jerk" the entire time. In between dance moves, they looked at their teacher to know when to freeze.
Savoy Elementary was one of the eight schools in DC that participated in the President's Turnaround Arts Initiative. The goal was for these once underperforming schools to use the arts to transform the culture, climate and academic success. Savoy, which used to be the lowest performing school in the district, is now improving with rising test scores, increased enrollment and higher teacher-student attendance.
The students, along with their teacher explained that they play Freeze Dance because it allows them to exercise, focus and have fun. Doesn't get much better than that.
Check out the video of the students getting down on the next page.

Real Life Tia & Tamera: Two Girls Reunite At A Track Meet, Realize They're Sisters
Were you ever one of those girls who wondered if you'd ever find your long lost sister at a random outing, like Tia and Tamera did in "Sister Sister"? Well, life imitated art back in January when 17 year old sisters Jordan and Robin Jeter met each other at a track meet.
In an interview with Washington D.C.'s CBS affiliate, WUSA9, the girls described their encounter.
"My team was like she looks just like you," said Jordan. The two talked briefly at the meet and once Jordan found out Robin's last name was Jeter she started crying.
Jordan, the girl on the right, was put up for adoption shortly after her birth while Robin stayed with her biological mother before being sent to foster care and then to a legal guardian. Jordan, is a junior and Robin is a senior. The girls attended schools just ten minutes away from one another and played the same sports but never crossed paths.
Their chance meeting almost didn't happen. Jordan only joined the track team as a way to stay in shape.
Though they look and sound just alike, the two are not twins. They were born within 9 months of each other. Robin, the girl on the left, says initially she didn't know she had siblings. As time went on she knew she had one but never knew she had a sister.
When the two met, they immediately started catching up on the last 17 years. In their first phone conversation, Robin asked Jordan all types of questions, trying to fill in the blanks.
"I asked her what's your mother's name on your birth certificate, what's her birthday, what does your birth certificate say at the bottom," says Robin.
Jordan laughed as she recounted that conversation.
"I was like what is this an interrogation?"
After 17 years, those questions were more than necessary. The two discovered that they wear the same show size, have the same double-jointed thumbs and sound very much alike on the phone.
While the two are having fun catching up, they recognize that they have more work to do to find their other siblings.
Cities Where Men Are The Most Honest And Dishonest In Their Online Profiles

DC Mayor Vincent Gray Commits $100 Million to Affordable Housing
Washington DC's Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray has committed $100 million to creating or maintaining affordable housing in his city that would benefit seniors, low-income earners, government workers, and others. The funding for this commitment comes from a $417 million surplus for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, according to The Washington Post. The housing pledge is one of a few that the Mayor made during his State of the District speech on Tuesday.
Housing advocates and others are cautiously optimistic about the pledge, warning that it will take a lot of money and continued diligence to make this happen. And the need is great.
"That's going to take more than $100 million to accomplish. But $100 million is a good investment toward that goal," the paper quotes Elizabeth Falcon from the Housing for All nonprofit.
Gray also talked about wage increases for city workers and a proposal for a $15 million fund for nonprofit organizations. The complete text of his speech is available here.
The Mayor held what he called a "citizens summit" last year, in which affordable housing was a huge concern. Housing advocates have said that $20 million, at least, would have to go back to a fund for affordable housing after having been previously diverted for rent supplements. A separate Washington Post story says there's broad support for the Mayor's focus on affordable housing.
DC readers: Is affordable housing on your list of top concerns?

It is a travesty that James was sent home before Candace. Her disco mess deserved no more than 4's. Perhaps if they scored her fairly she wouldn't still be in the competition.
I can't believe they eliminated James and not Candace. It's good to know that Christians support each other but in this case talent should win out. But hopefully in the end - talent WILL win out and Meryl and Maks will win. I like Derek. He is very talented. . But it's time Maks got the recognition he deserves for a change. And he does have a great partner. He may not get one this good next season.
The Bible thumpers need to stop voting for candace. what a twit!
I'm not a bible thumper but I think Candace has come so far.
Charlie....oh I love that man. He made me feel good & wished he had made it to the final 4/3 he was such a joy to watch. He is just so genuine. No pretense, no showmance, a class act who seemed to be able to get along with everybody. I shall make it a point to keep an eye peeled for other appearances & hopefully more opportunities to see him perform in person. I've seen inspiration, and skill and talent beyond what U expect on a reality show...but Charlie is my take away memory & I can't wait to see him again tomorrow.....a Meryl/Charlie dance is the icing on the cake for me!!!
Meryl and Maks should and will win and what's great about it is not once did they get any preferential judging. No perfect 10's for a flawed routine sitting on a stool and making mistakes. IF they made a mistake this season, they felt in the scoring. So they REALLY have earned it.
Meryl and Max have been the class of the season. They have improved all along and should be the winners. Amy has proven to be a gritty performer and she has done very well, but she also has been given more breaks and been forgiven more than any other performer handicapped or not. Others with handicaps have not been given the same breaks in the past. Could this be because the show's golden boy is her partner? I mean if you looked at their dance last night it all took place in about a ten foot space, no floor was covered and the same steps were repeated.
Max and Meryl's chemistry and movement together have improved so much over the season and their freestyle routine was breath taking and would match up against any other freestyle ever performed from a choreography perspective. For the shows shake I hope they are the winners.
Meryl and Maks are magical, memorizing and magnetic. It is pure joy to watch them each week sharing their gift of exquisite dance with others. They are winners in my book. Congratulations!!!
Oops - correction: Meryl & Maks are mesmerizing. To witness a couple who are so connected is kismet in action. WOW!!!
Oops - correction: Meryl & Maks are mesmerizing. To witness a couple so connected is kismet in action. WOW!!!
This is the only time and 11 was deserved,great dance Maks & Meryl!
This must be a dream. DJ Tanner is in, Prettyboy is out!
If Candace was lacking confidence throughout the competition, surely she will be in heart palpitating, knee wobbling, error-induced misstepping dance # when it finally dawns on her she is in the final & is up against the big boys. She obviously must know she is not in the same league. She should be embarassed. Danica, Charlie, James are all better than her.
& gee what a shock. Hough pulling the rabbit out of the hat one more time. Gimmick after gimmick. The Stool, then The Table, & finally The Rope. Glad to see Glenn didn't fall for his ruse.
We all know who should win but when America votes anything can happen. Just ask Al Gore & Mitt Romney.
without question peta got the peta from the voters ! Max n cheryl r magical - should n deserve to win big ! Hope pets is now a member of the mile high club after flying all night - she was great n didnt deserve elimination !!:((((
Let's face it, Make and Meryl should win. They have been outstanding from the start. Unfortunately, fan bases don't seem to care about the best.
Bruno said CONCEPT album. Highest praise I've ever heard on DWTS!
this is "Dancing" competition not a popularity..Candace wins over James..come on! wont be watching DWTS again..all that hard work down the drain
At last, Len Goodman deserved some respect and appreciation for rightfully giving a less than perfect score to Amy & Derek for using an unnecessary prop (rope); unlike in past weeks when using a chair, stool and table were overlooked. Sadly, I couldn't say the same for Carrie Ann Inaba who remarked about seeing "so many lifts" and yet still gave a perfect 10! (It sounds like a repeat of not deducting for a lift in a previous week due to Amy's condition, no offense intended to Amy.), Seems to be the same favorable scoring for Amy: a "10" despite commenting on seeing flaws!; but, unfairly.... a lower score for James because of apparent flaws? So inconsistent judging buy CAI! RAW PERFORMANCE should merit a major criterion for judging this competition. Finally, a fair judgment this time from, Len! To use his own words: "WELL DONE", LEN!
Derek Hugh knew better and the judges ate it up no way a circus act belongs in the program he used his partner and I and every one knows it.The old man who claims he knows everything said he dosen't like gemiks yet he gave Derek and the panel gave them 10's this was wrong,the poor lady with artifeacel leg's used her owen help, blades,feet that keep her on her toes no way, she can not walk and stand this way 360 days a year. she has feet that lay flat on the surface,also shoes our Wounded Warrior's and other's like the lady have them I am sure she does.Will be watching this evening there has to be fairness to all,we'll see.This might not get pblished but there are other ways to let it out.
Well done - Maks and Meryl!
Early in the season, the "drive" of the two lady Olympian athletes to dance well became a joy to watch; it was most fitting that they were the last ones standing. Meryl, after she conquered and tamed Maks' famous volatility, gave him the freedom to work on his inventive and unique choreography. Amy's and Derek's decisions to all but flaunt her prosthetics; dancing on running legs?
Say what you will about judges "coulda's and shoulda's," lifts and ropes, both dancers really brought their "A" games to the competition. What *is* important is that neither gave in.
Amy, very, very well done. There can be no shame in just being "out danced" at the end.
In the end, the public got it right, Meryl and Maks earned their trophy. Congratulations.
I would like to see Shemar Moore, aka Derek Morgan from Driminal Minds dance on the show. That would be awesome. How do they pick their next stars?

Acer Cloudbook: Like a Chromebook, But With Windows 10 for £180
Hey, you, get off of my cloud (book).
Hey, you, get off of my cloud (book).
Remember the Pixel, that beautiful, high-end, ludicrously expensive Chromebook that comes with a laundry list of reasons to not buy it? Get ready for number two.
Version 2.0 aims for students by trading plushness for plastic.
CES 2015: As far as cheap Chromebooks are concerned it looks like a possible winner.
"Other" OS share more than doubled in December.
OK Google voice summoning is still only available in the Dev Channel, but once Google works out the kinks, it will most likely migrate to beta and onto all of our machines.
Google is offering 1TB of free storage space for two years for people who buy new Chromebooks between now and the end of the year.
The first set has already arrived, and Google promises that it's working with devs to bring out the next wave.
Sadly it's not quite the price we initially believed it would be.
We knew this was coming, but now a leak of the upcoming HP Stream 14 gives us our first look at what these laptops will actually be like.

Last week -- and especially this past weekend -- saw numerous gifting suites around town tied to the Emmy Awards which aired Sunday night.
I want to take this opportunity to clarify why I did not attend last night's Emmy broadcast.
Hey, Emmy awards producers! Jane Lynch was terrific, but you won't ever get a younger audience until you invite more stars from 'Gossip Girl,' 'The Vampire Diaries' and '90210.'
Few will dispute that voting members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences largely got it right this year.
Together, Faith and Jill Soloway are sisters, best friends and two parts of the writing team that brought the world The Real Live Brady Bunch. Nearly 20 years later the Soloways have started collaborating again.
From Hair to Toe, look for soft rich hair color, caramelized creamy blondes, chocolate brunettes and berry reds. And the very important newest hair trend: Curls!
Directors Alex Gibney and Allison Ellwood have resurrected, cinematically, the pivotal moment when our country went from Mad Men to HAIR.
For the first time in a long time the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences made smart choices all around for the Emmy nominations. With one exception.
Giancarlo Esposito's performance in Breaking Bad's fourth season premiere was so electrifying that, as Woody Allen once said, "All the blood went out of my face and went to my brother."
Here's a rundown of the series and actors that I believe are the most deserving in the drama series categories. (I'll tackle the comedy series categories in a few days.)
Though Armenian singer singer Emmy never tells us what her lover's kiss is actually like, the video implies it's as powerful as a punch delivered by a boxer wearing silver stilettos and black spandex.
One of the finest drama series in the history of television comes to an end this week -- and, sadly, most people won't even be aware of it. Then again, that's nothing new for Friday Night Lights.
As I was leaving the Hallmark Hall of Fame reception at 20th Century Fox' commissary, a studio guard wished me a good night to which I replied, "I can die now, I've met Betty White."
I was also delighted when Katey Sagal won for Sons of Anarchy. Kudos also for Chris Colfer's win for Fox' Glee. But then we had to listen to Gervais again.
A distinctly New York play finally lands in the city when Knock Me A Kiss, by playwright Charles Smith, begins previews Thursday in its Off-Broadway premiere.

Grandma's Creamy Potato Salad Recipe
5 10
My grandma makes the best potato salad, but she doesn't use a recipe! So I watched while she put together "a little of this and a little of that" and jotted a recipe that comes close. The creamy dressing also works well for making deviled eggs.
- 8 medium red potatoes, cubed
- 4 to 5 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool.
- Transfer to a large bowl; add eggs. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour over potato mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Yield: 8 servings.

text: Budget Reform groups urge Cuomo to include public campaign funding in budget By Karen DeWitt • Jan 17, 2014 Thirty reform groups have written to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, asking that his new state budget plan include funds for campaign finance reform. The groups are asking the governor to essentially put his money where his mouth is when it comes to campaign donation reform ideas like public financing and a new agency to police violations. Comptroller says state probably can afford tax cuts, but just barely By Karen DeWitt • Dec 20, 2013 State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says he'll need to see more details and end of the calendar year state revenue figures before deciding whether the state can afford $2 billion in new tax cuts that Gov. Andrew Cuomo is likely to propose. Governor Cuomo says he thinks if state spending is held to a 2 percent growth rate next year, there will be enough money in the state budget to finance $2 billion worth of property and business tax cuts. Comptroller DiNapoli says he's not so sure it will all add up. Despite projected budget gap, Cuomo seeking tax cuts By Karen DeWitt • Nov 11, 2013 401(K) 2012 / Flickr Now that the elections are over, state budget deadlines are rapidly approaching. Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has released a largely positive budget outlook for the new year, though he warns of some uncertainties. Under reforms adopted a few years ago, state officials including the comptroller, are required to start the budget process, which ends in late March, even earlier. DiNapoli is out with his report, and he says the state budget is largely in balance. Onondaga County legislature, sheriff's department at odds over budget By Ellen Abbott • Oct 9, 2013 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Onondaga County lawmakers are putting a tighter reign on spending at the sheriff's department. The legislature approved the county's 2014 $1.2 billion budget Tuesday night.

Cuomo projects budget surplus, looks at tax cuts By Ryan Delaney • Oct 3, 2013 New York's budget could have a surplus within a few years, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which has prompted him to look at ways to cut taxes. Cuomo credits on time budgets, controlled taxes and a rebounding economy for the positive budget news. That's why the governor formed a commission this week to look at ways to cut taxes by $2-3 billion. "I think we can do even more," he said in Syracuse Thursday. Joanie Mahoney presents Onondaga County 2014 budget By Ellen Abbott • Sep 13, 2013 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Onondaga County is on firm, fiscal footing according to County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

Study finds New York analyzing tax dollar usage well By Ryan Delaney • Jul 29, 2013 401(K) 2012 / Flickr New York has been labeled a "leading" state for effective use of cost-benefit analysis in a new study from the Pew-MacArthur Results First initiative. That means New York is doing a better job of making sure tax dollars are spent well, than other states. Cost benefit analysis is determining the return on an investment. In this case it's determining how much the taxpayer benefits from each public dollar spent. Comptroller DiNapoli: Watertown in good fiscal health By Joanna Richards • Jun 13, 2013 Joanna Richards Listen Listening... / 1:22 State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli came to Watertown on Wednesday to commend the city's leadership on its sound financial stewardship.

Local governments will be graded on fiscal health By Ellen Abbott • Jan 29, 2013 Municipalities and school districts in New York state will soon get graded on their fiscal health. A fiscal monitoring system run by the state comptroller's office will publicly identify local governments that may be heading towards a fiscal cliff. Syracuse reducing use of criticized hiring practice By Ryan Delaney • Jan 2, 2013 The city of Syracuse has reduced the number of city workers it has on the rolls of a non-city run agency as a way of skirting civil service rules. New Medicaid program aims to cut costs, improve care By Ellen Abbott • Nov 23, 2012 New York state's attack on ballooning Medicaid costs has started with a program that offers coordinated care for certain Medicaid patients. State Medicaid Director Jason Helgerson says the program called Health Homes, is aimed at the people who have the most complex Medicaid charts. Cuomo says local governments need to cope with tax cap By Karen DeWitt • Oct 23, 2012 Governor Andrew Cuomo is telling local governments they are on their own when it comes to coping with a recently imposed property tax cap, saying it is up to county and city government leaders to make the hard choices, and to stop complaining. Onondaga County plans to privatize nursing home By Olivia Fecteau • Oct 5, 2012 On October 9, the Onondaga County Legislature will vote on its 2013 budget.

Onondaga County proposes budget that dips into fund balance By Ellen Abbott • Sep 17, 2012 Onondaga County lawmakers begin going over County Executive Joanie Mahoney's proposed budget with a fine tooth comb Monday.

Counties face budget crunch in New York state By Ellen Abbott • Sep 14, 2012 Fall means budget season in counties across New York State. Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney makes her budget pitch to lawmakers Friday. Many governments are facing the same pressures.

Speaking with Grant Reeher just before the budget passed, Syracuse area State Senator John DeFrancisco describes the budget process and discusses whether or not it has improved in recent years. The EPIC program returns just in time By Ellen Abbott • Mar 30, 2012 When state lawmakers approved the budget this week, they restored a program that's vital to many senior citizens. Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage, known as EPIC, helps low and moderate income seniors with co-pays for prescription drugs not covered by Medicare Part-D. When it was defunded last year, seniors were forced to pay 25% of the costs of prescriptions. This made necessary prescriptions unaffordable for some. Pharmacists at drug stores like the Gifford and West Pharmacy in Syracuse ran into a lot of problems when EPIC stopped helping seniors pay for prescription drugs. Gifford pharmacist Jim McLaughlin encountered many patients who had high co-pays and were forced to pay. "It ends up costing more. Patients go without their medications and their symptoms start to come back, or they end up being hospitalized," McLaughlin said. Governor Cuomo is late with the mid year financial report By Karen DeWitt • Nov 11, 2011 The governor says he's waiting for some uncertainties in the world markets to stabilize before updating the state's financial picture, and has delayed releasing the state's mid year budget report, which was due in late October.

They've also post poned some scheduled budget hearings that have been part of an effort in recent years to jump start the budget process. Onondaga County lawmakers pass budget, cut funding for Air One helicopter By Joyce Gramza • Oct 12, 2011 They worked later into the evening Tuesday, but Onondaga County lawmakers passed a budget that cut more than $5 million from County Executive Joanie Mahoney's proposed budget. Property taxes will go up in most county towns, but will go down in every village except Fabius. Residents in the towns of Clay and Salina will see the biggest tax increases. Republican Kevin Holmquist of Manlius says it took weeks of work to take the 3 villages he represents from a 10% tax increase to a 5% tax decrease. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2

Eltahawy was arrested Wednesday evening, September 26, in a New York City subway station because she insisted free speech included her right to deface an ad espousing a message with which she disagreed -- Pamela Geller's anti-Jihad ad. She also insisted her free speech right extended to spraying toxic paint on a woman, Pamela Hall, who tried to interfere with Eltahawy's efforts to deface Geller's ad. And then Eltahawy blamed Hall for interfering with her free speech rights and accused the arresting police officers of interfering with her "non-violent" protest, thereby engaging in anti-democratic activity.

Let's say I have three value constructors:
A { a :: Int }
B { b :: Char }
C { c :: Bool }
I would like to create two types
X and
Y such that a value of type
X can be an
B or
C, something like this:
data X = A {...} | B {...} | C {...}
and a value of type
Y can be only an
A or
B, something like this:
data Y = A {...} | B {...}
so that I can code something like this:
foo :: X -> Int -- can pattern match
foo (A _) = 1
foo (B _) = 2
foo (C _) = 3
bar :: Y -> Bool -- also can pattern match with the same constructors
bar (A _) = true
bar (B _) = false
baz = A 1 -- baz is inferred to be a type that can fit in both X and Y
I know that I can wrap the constructors in the definitions of
X and
Y like this:
data X = XA A | XB B | XC C
data Y = YA A | YB B
but this seems untidy (having to type
XA A etc. all the time). I could expand the contents of
B, and
C into the definitions of
X and
Y, but
A etc. are quite complicated and I would prefer not to duplicate the definition.
Is this possible with Haskell, including any GHC extensions?
It seems that GADTs can answer my question as asked (so I marked heatsink's answer as correct), but still aren't flexible enough for what I need. For example, as far as I know, you can't do something like:
func1 :: [XY Y_] -- returns a list of items that can only be A or B
func1 = ...
func2 = func1 ++ [C True] -- adding a C item to the list
func2 should be typed as
[XY X_], but that isn't possible in Haskell (unless my experiment was wrong).
After more web searching, what I really want is OCaml's polymorphic variants which (as far as I know) exist only in OCaml (looking at the more "practical" as opposed to "academic" languages).
Edit 2
See comonad's answer. It seems that it really can be done, but I think I'd better not rewrite this question too many times. :-)

Top 5 Tips for Hiring a Remodeler
Are you among the growing number of home owners who are choosing to remodel their homes to fit their changing needs, rather than selling their home and buying another one? If so, you'll soon learn that even simple remodels can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. With that type of investment on the line, it's important to find a contractor you can trust.
As the home building and remodeling industry celebrates National Home Remodeling Month in May, here are the top five tips to ensure you make the right decisions when you find, evaluate and hire a remodeler.
1. Always Go with a Pro
The best place to start is the Directory of Professional Remodelers at hbaknoxville.com/directory or contact the Home Builders Association of Greater Knoxville. A professional remodeler will uphold the highest professional and ethical standards in the industry. These sources can also help you find a remodeler who specializes in a specific type of remodeling if you need it, such as a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) to help modify your home to better suit you as you age, or a Certified Green Remodeler (CGP) to make your home more energy-efficient.
2. Do Your Research
Look at the prospective remodeler's company website and social media accounts to see photos of their work. Visit review sites like HomeAdvisor, Houzz, etc., to see more pictures and to read reviews of remodeling companies. Take the good with the bad when reading online reviews and focus on the descriptions of experiences and qualities that are most important to you as a customer. Ask for referrals from friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and others who have had remodeling work done on comparable homes under similar schedules.
3. Create Your Short List
Once you have a list of potential home remodelers for your project, do a little more background research to verify that they are appropriately licensed and have a good business track record. Look them up with your local or state office of consumer protection. Verify that the remodeler has the appropriate licenses and registrations.
4. Start Taking Notes
When you begin meeting with remodelers, you want to find out information such as:
- How long they have been in business in your community? Can they provide references from customers and suppliers they work with?
- Do they carry insurance that protects you from claims arising from property damage or job site injuries? Ask for a copy of the insurance certificates.
- What is their working knowledge of the many types and ages of homes in the area, and what sort of issues could arise?
- Do they arrange for the building permit? (The person who obtains the permit is the contractor of record and therefore liable for the work)
- Do they provide a written estimate before beginning the work, and a detailed contract that spells out the work that will and will not be performed, protects both of you, provides a fair payment schedule contract and complies with local, state, and federal laws?
5. Trust Your Instincts
Make sure you are compatible with the contractor you select. Beginning your project with mutual expectations will go a long way towards a smooth remodel. You'll spend a lot of time with your remodeler so it's important to have a good rapport and trust in him or her. For more detailed checklists for finding, evaluating and working with a remodeler, as well as other information about remodeling your home, go to nahb.org/remodeling.
Home Ownership Remains a Key Part of the American Dream
There's been a lot of talk in the news lately about Millennials delaying marriage, kids and homeownership. So it would be easy to think that perhaps the traditional American dream of owning home is slowly dying. In fact, the opposite is true: Research shows that homeownership remains a goal for the vast majority of American renters.
A recent survey by Freddie Mac revealed that 91% of renters believe homeownership is something of which to be proud. And, younger renters are making plans to buy homes in the near future. In fact, nearly half of renters in the 25-to-34 age bracket – and nearly 60% of renters ages 35 to 44 – indicate that they plan to buy a home in the next three years.
Benefits of Homeownership
These would-be buyers recognize the many benefits to homeownership, including the fact that homeownership is a primary source of net worth for many Americans, and is an important step in accumulating personal financial assets over the long term.
In fact, 90% of the survey respondents said that being able to pass their home on to their children is one of the top three benefits of homeownership. Although property values have declined in many markets, Americans have more than $10.8 trillion of equity in their homes, and for most families, home equity represents the largest share of net worth.
Overcoming Obstacles to Homeownership
Qualifying for a mortgage and saving up for a downpayment remain primary obstacles to homeownership. To help address these concerns, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) – recently announced new low-downpayment mortgage programs geared primarily toward the first-time home buyer market.
These lenders will now offer mortgages with 3% downpayments, allowing more creditworthy borrowers who lack the funds for a large downpayment to obtain a home mortgage.
To ensure that the financing process goes smoothly, buyers should consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage and having a financing commitment in place before shopping for a new home. Buyers also may find that some home builders have arranged favorable financing for their customers or offer financial incentives.
Recent analysis by the National Association of Home Builders reveals that financial concerns remain front of mind for many first-time home buyers. In fact, Millennial home buyers – those in the 18-to-33 age bracket – are more likely to let financial reasons influence their house choice, while older generations consider the right size most often. And the homes Millennials buy are smaller, older and less expensive than homes bought by older generations.
That's not surprising, since Millennials also are more likely than older generations to finance home purchases through current income than accumulated wealth, according to the NAHB analysis of the 2013 American Housing Survey. So, while Millennials may be taking a little longer than previous generations to reach some of these traditional milestones, their goal of building their own American Dream remains strong.

Flavorwire Premiere: Sizzy Rocket's Second Single "Boy" Shows She's Far More Than Her Sexuality
"I may be young, but I know what I want" is an apt opening line for "Boy," the second single from rising pop musician Sizzy Rocket. Her first, "Bestie," was part cheeky pop parody, part queer empowerment: atop a track that would fit in on Taylor Swift's 1989, she lusts hard for her best girl friend like she's another one of her girlfriends, rather than a prop for male desire. Rocket takes it down a sexual notch with the romance of her synth-driven power-ballad "Boy," but she's still direct. "Boy, you're giving me life," she asserts on the song, which Flavorwire is pleased to premiere below.

Fire damages two vehicles, hurts firefighter

A firefighter suffered minor injuries Tuesday in a fire that damaged two vehicles, according to Ocala Fire Rescue officials.
Battalion Chief Brian Stoothoff said authorities received calls about the fire at 1:11 p.m. It was in the 1800 block of Northwest 21st Street.
Firefighters quickly put out the blaze, which damaged a small tanker and a small flatbed truck.
An employee at Ocala Palates and Sawmill, 1830 NW 21st St., Ocala, told a fire official that he had placed several palates in a Dumpster and was burning them. He said he briefly stepped away and, when he returned, saw fire quickly spread from the Dumpster to nearby palates that were stacked together.
The fire then jumped to an adjoining business, Bullditt, 1836 NW 21st St., where it severely damaged the two vehicles.
While extinguishing the fire, a firefighter twisted his ankle and had to be transported to the hospital for treatment.
