Testimony of Doris Meissner, Senior Fellow and Director, U.S. Immigration Policy Program, before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate.
This fact sheet offers a detailed review of the comprehensive immigration reform legislation approved by the U.S. Senate in June 2013 and compares its major provisions with those of the five targeted immigration bills approved by the House Judiciary Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee.
La migración ha contribuido a dar forma y definir las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México desde hace más de un siglo, y las relaciones con Centroamérica aproximadamente durante los últimos 30 años. A veces, incluso la migración se convierte en la lente a través de la cual se consideran todos los otros aspectos de esta relación.
This MPI event discussed the Dutch model for fighting human trafficking and the strategic and operational dilemmas that public prosecutors in the Netherlands face.
MPI has completed an analysis of the major provisions in the 2013 framework, comparing them to provisions of the legislation the Senate considered in 2006 and 2007.
This fact sheet compares key components of immigration reform outlined in the 2013 Senate immigration bill against provisions included in bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007: border security, detention, and enforcement; worksite enforcement; visa reforms; earned legalization of unauthorized immigrants; strengthening the U.S. economy and workforce; and integration of new Americans.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A family spokesman says Joe Paterno's widow and son were not told that they're on the list of possible witnesses for Jerry Sandusky's upcoming child sex abuse trial.
The statement Thursday says Sue and Jay Paterno do not plan to comment during the trial out of respect for the legal process.
Family spokesman Wick Sollers' statement says the family will not say anything during litigation "unless something exceptional and unexpected develops."
The scandal engulfed the university following the former assistant's arrest and led to Paterno's ouster as football coach. He died of lung cancer in January.
Sollers says the late coach told his family to "pursue the truth, while forcefully defending the honor and integrity of Penn State" and all those associated with the university.

SELECTED WORKS BY Alan Michael
Alan Michael
Apologia Pro Vita Positivia
oil on canvas
101.5 x 76 x 1.8cm
Alan Michael's paintings explore the dynamic of cultural image transaction and artistic lineage. Borrowing his subject matter from both art historical and media sources, Michael's large-scale canvases magnify their appropriated imagery; rendered with a cold, almost mechanical aesthetic, his paintings resonate with a sense of the uncanny, making the familiar seem alien and inured. Through his interwoven referencing, Michael adapts the ideologies associated with various art historical movements to highlight his subjects as hierarchical emblems, situated within, and co-opted by, often conflicting power structures. Untitled (Shoes), for example, is formatted in repetitive panels, reminiscent of Warhol's pop. Retaining faithfulness to the original photographic sources with a limited grey-scale palette, Michael's footwear both allures with the glamour of early 20th c. advertising and the style of Russian agitprop. Similar strategies are found throughout Michael's paintings, which readily mingle 80s fashion, Soviet propaganda, minimalism, and pop. In this careful layering of signifiers, Michael develops his own lexicon which both decodes and furnishes cultural anxiety. Through their sterile aesthetic, Michael's paintings isolate symbolic fragments of contemporary experience, rendering their meaning as bereft, corrupted, and infinitely seductive.

Alan Michael: Year Zero from the Northern gallery of Contemporary Art
ŌĆśHomageŌĆÖ; ŌĆśinfluenceŌĆÖ; ŌĆśsynthesisŌĆÖ; ŌĆśappropriationŌĆÖ; ŌĆśadaptationŌĆÖ; ŌĆśquotationŌĆÖ; ŌĆśpasticheŌĆÖ; ŌĆśplagiarismŌĆÖ. The very fact that we possess such a bewildering vocabulary with which to articulate the relation of one artist to another is symptomatic of an intractable problem. Alan MichaelŌĆÖs work, overloaded with references, visual quotations, borrowings ŌĆō call them what you will ŌĆō seems to expand the problem exponentially. What, we might ask encountering MichaelŌĆÖs work, might be said to be the authorŌĆÖs own; our own; or begged, borrowed and stolen? Who is indebted to whom?
The literary critic Harold Bloom coined the phrase ŌĆ£the anxiety of influenceŌĆØ in the 1970s to describe the problem of how to describe artistsŌĆÖ relationships to their sources and predecessors. If anything the problem has become ever more entangled as the weight of images in the world has grown. The artists labelled ŌĆśpostmodernŌĆÖ in the eighties, such as David Salle, approached the problem by throwing every style or type of image into a mixing pot, as if it were possible to level out every hierarchy, or revise every existing form of classification. Michael, like Salle, has drawn upon a panoramic range of source material, and both have reworked images by Lucian Freud (amongst others) in the past. However, unlike artists from the older generation, Michael doesnŌĆÖt entertain mere pastiche or travesty of works from ŌĆśthe canonŌĆÖ; indeed he avoids anything which might be thought obvious, or readily explicable within a linear logic.
Michael seems to foreclose the possibility of us adequately defining his relationship to the artists whose styles and subjects he borrows (recreates, adapts, reworks). Nor does it seem possible to properly characterise his non-art range of sources without being left in contradictions. The artist pre-empts any logical connection between his constellation of competing, rather than connected references. Each painting creates such an impossibly circuitous ŌĆśnarrative driveŌĆÖ that we are only left circling around ideas rather than gaining any point of entry or closure.
The artist, recognising that all artistic endeavour is a question of interdependence rather than sovereign autonomy, also recognises that we inescapably search for fixity of meaning for and for tidy solutions to the issue of causation. What, he asks, if we were to remember that the Latin word ŌĆśtextumŌĆÖ simply means ŌĆśwebŌĆÖ? Rather than establishing a mere ŌĆśdialogueŌĆÖ with his material or insisting on the past as irretrievably lost, Michael takes a different tack. His personal investment in the (ostensible) subject matter becomes impossible to discern. In fact, it becomes impossible to tell if he even has any. (In the past he has written, ŌĆ£Someone once said to me ŌĆśWhy would you put something youŌĆÖre interested in into your work?ŌĆÖ, and I kind of agree.ŌĆØ) As Tom Morton has recently written about the artist, ŌĆ£his real concern is the moment when the source material he references fades into a new fiction... If referencing is a social contract, it often seems like Michael has torn it up to create a near impermeable private language.ŌĆØ This hermetic language throws us back onto our own resources, independent of the artistŌĆÖs direction. Whilst frequently referencing cinematic imagery, Michael expresses an ambivalent relation to the idea of the artist-as-auteur. Our only points of certainty are that the artist keeps us engaged with a delightfully light touch and splinters of humour.

Feather hair extensions are one of the trendiest fashion accessories right now (I say this knowing that Cincy's always a little behind the times on all things stylish). Celebrities from Ke$ha to Steven Tyler to Roseanne Barr have been rockin' the look, which may sound like a deterrent, but now these birdy little weaves are everywhere. Even on dogs.
A lot has changed since Charlie Sheen played that kind of do-able police station junkie in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He was recently the highest paid television actor, has the highest risk of contracting a completely new strain of Hepatitis and is probably going to be the highest actor Andrea Canning has ever interviewed, on a special edition of "20/20" Tuesday night.
Drop those pickles and ice cream, ladies! Becoming Mom Spa in Mason is looking for the hottest pregnant gut in the Tristate for its Beautiful Belly Contest.
Knocked up chicks are encouraged to send in a photo of their lovely lady lumps, which will be displayed on the spa's Facebook page for public voting. Because that doesn't sound like it could go horrifyingly wrong.
For every vote on the photos, Becoming Mom will donate $1 to the March of Dimes. Prizes for top-voted bellies include gift certificates to The Polo Grille, Buy Buy Baby, Radiant Hair Removal (which you should probably think about before you submit a photo...) and other businesses. Becoming Mom will also crown Most Creative Belly Shot, Belly Shot that Best Represents the Journey to Motherhood and Most Beautiful Belly with $100 a pop.
Before MomsLikeMe.com hijacks this shit, I want to be clear. Being pregnant is totally cool (as long as you aren't a white trash idiot who learned the hard way that a pregnancy pact doesn't come with an MTV contract). I mean, you and a dude made a person! Holy shit, that's like one of the coolest things humans can do. And it's particularly special for women, because they get to let the thing simmer in 'em, pop it out and then feed it with milk their own bodies produce. That's hella eco-friendly. Pregnant women even look cool most of the time.
Terrifying other times.
Motherhood should totally be celebrated. I don't think a pregnant woman needs to hide her belly under a tent dress by any means, but do you really have to go to Sears, strip down and get a portrait of yourself covering up your boobs and vag like you're some kind of bloated Venus? No amount of retouching in Photoshop is going to make you feel like you look like Demi.
Not pictured: a normal pregnant person
But I know what you're thinking. You're going the tasteful route: planning on the denim/white oxford ensemble?
What a unique idea!
And let's think about who's truly affected by a contest like this: the little tadpole inside. How's Junior gonna feel when he finds out mom whored him out on Facebook before he was even born? All this for a couple bones and some Greater's gift cards. It's bad enough you picked the kid's name off a Web site, then tweaked it to end with "-ayden."
But if you disagree, send your belly shot to firstname.lastname@example.com by April 22. Winners will be announced on - wait for it - Mothers Day. Aw!
This is the caliber of photo Becoming Mom is looking for, so, preggy ladies, take note:
Mariah Carey continues to set the bar high:
Tristate hipsters' shopping selection has significantly decreased with the closing of Newport's Village Discount Outlet this week.
America knew Henry Darger late. So it goes for most prodigious artists. Born in 1892, Darger worked as custodian at a children's school for most of his life. His mother died early and his sister was put up for adoption. Darger actually never met his sister and spent his time growing up in various institutions, including a children's mental asylum.
It was Sunday night and television options resembled that of The Banks project for the past 10 years — barren and dull. I was clearly in need of some entertainment. So, like 7,389* other people in the area, I tuned into Fox 19's premiere of Queen City.
I was hooked as soon as the intro song came on — excited to see what shenanigans the four "queens," Adhrucia, Lauren, Tracey and Katie, would encounter in this local take on the Real Housewives series.
Luckily I didn't hold my breath for too long.
The Cincinnati Health Department recently released a list of the most popular baby names of 2010. We live in Cincinnati, so there's enough average people to balance out all the Braidans and Jakilynns (read: smooshing two names together or purposely misspelling a name isn't being creative, folks) which means there aren't any big surprises on this list. It just means that in 2020, fourth grade classes everywhere will have Ava S., Ava B. and Ava M. instead of Ashley R., Ashley T. and Ashley O. like when I was a kid.
Besides being mildly interesting, what's the point of a list like this? To point out the least creative parents in the city? To give really dumb preggo people a basis for naming their offspring? Either way, If you're walking around and you hear a little human crying, its name is probably…
The most popular name for baby boys in Cincinnati was a pretty classic one. If names dictate a person's life, these little dudes will grow up to have giant teeth, front a really shitty Hip Hop group or be a general badass sax player:
Or, if that screaming spawn is wearing pink...
Olivia, the #1 baby girl name in Cincinnati, is alright. According to my research (15 seconds on Google), there are a lot of hot hoes by the name, but Olivia Newton John (pre-scary face) is the best of them all. Hopefully these babies will take after her, with a penchant for headbands and first words being "Xanadu."
On their own, the second place names appear to be perfectly normal. Who could have anything mean to say about...
That's right, fucking Twilight. I can only assume that the increasing amount of teen moms out there are contributing to this fuckery (Thanks a lot, MTV!). There once was a time when I heard the name Jacob and immediately thought of the most perfect man of my John Hughes-inspired dreams...
Jake Ryan.
Isabella is a cute name, too. It has the potential of many 'breves. Izzy. Ella. Sabel? I don't know, but when little Isabella and tiny Jacob have their first kiss on the playground, "Twihards" around the world will feel a sense of glorious satisfaction that I just can't deal with.
The rest of the names are pretty uninteresting, so here's a quick list complete with what people (myself and Google) will probably associate with them:
Obviously because the nearby Creation Museum is building a to-scale (WHAT SCALE?) ark
Would still be cool if it wasn't on this list
Never forget.
Hermione Granger
Boring interior design
My arch-enemy. Stereotypes are hilarious!
All about the Benjamin...Buttons
Holly Madison, Dolly Madison - They're both full of fake stuff, but probably preserved for all of time.
Go here to read more boring names.
So I have to admit, I'm pretty obsessed with all the Real Houswives shows on Bravo TV. Laugh all you want, but turn that shit on and it becomes addicting.

2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
I was looking for a replacement for my
1994 Miata as my primary vehicle.
Looked at sedans, SUVs, and minivans
and decided the MPV offered the most
bang for the buck. It drove nice, was
quiet, had good fit and finish, and
the LX with the LX Upgrade package,
traction control, and the 4 seasons
package had everything I wanted. I'm
6 feet tall and the van had plenty of
creature comforts for me. My garage
is small but the MPV's "footprint" is
actually smaller than some sedans.
The seats are very versatile and I can
handle them 'by myself'... which was
important as a single female.
Smooth transmission and everything I need at my fingertips. The air conditioner cools it down in notime... hope the heater works as well in the winter time.
I wish they would make a commuter version... dump the 3rd row kiddie seat and put in some nice big seats in the back. A 4 seater that has "living room" for the occupants.
2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
We are young Parents and the Mpv has
the sporty looks with the family
Power sliding doors, windows in the sliding doors go down, 2nd row seat adjust forward and back and side to side
Like everyone else the shift lever needs to be moved blocks radio volume controls
2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
Its the best compact Minivan that I
have driven and for a growing family of
upto 8-10 year olds ,this vehicle is
ideal.You may need to upgrade the
quality of the Music system.
Stability ,Suspension ,Road Holding Characteristics ,Torquey Transmission and a feeling of safety .
Music system ,more space
2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
MPV has a great feel when on the
highway. Excellant pick-up when
proceeding from a stop position.
Hidden third seat
Center console
2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
We 24 hour test drove ALL of the 2004
minivans available in our area. Toyota,
Honda and Mazda were top ranking for
us. The toyotas and hondas were very
hard to find, as they are popular this
year. The Nissan was a good van, but
the queer interior was too much to get
past. We eventually chose the Mazda MPV
based on reliability, price and our
test drive. We were overall more
satisfied with the Mazda. Visabilty is
much better that all the others and the
overall drive was pleasing. We relied
heavily on the Consumer Reports ratings
for reliability. If you are "on the
fence" we would definately recommend
the Mazda MPV. Good Luck!
Side sliding middle row seat (works well when using child safety seats), Middle door windows retract, Visability while driving, flat folding rear seat.
More bag hooks in rear well, Tether and Anchor for child safety seats in all 3 position on rear seat.

Wednesday's visit to Vancouver by the Stanley Cup raised $2,743 for a new youth hockey program at Mountain View Ice Arena.
"I was pretty shocked at the dollar amount," Mountain View Ice Arena general manager Bob Knoerl said. "I was hoping for $800-$1,000. People were very generous."
Vancouver resident Tom McVie, a scout for the Boston Bruins, brought the Cup to the rink for almost two hours as part of his day with the trophy. Knoerl said he plans to start a youth hockey program at the rink and will put this money toward purchasing equipment.
Knoerl estimated that most people came with family or friends, at least two people had their photo taken with the Stanley Cup for every $10 raised. By that estimate, at least 550 people had their picture taken with the Cup.
Salmon Creek runs draw hundreds
Robert Ziebell of Vancouver finished second overall, and first among runners older than 40, in the 14-kilometer race during Sunday's Salmon Creek at Sunset events.
Ziebell, 42, finished the 8.7-mile course in 58 minutes and 23 seconds. The race was won by Rich Skorezowski, 33, from Portland with a time of 49:09.
A total of 113 runners completed the 14-K race, including Sarah Boswell from Washington, D.C., who was the first female finisher. Her time was 1:10:29.
The accompanying 8-kilometer run had 173 finishers, led by Jordan Pommerening, 25, from Portland in 28:24. Shannon McKenzie of Gresham was the first woman to finish the 8-K. Her time was 34:51.
Sugar Ray Leonard to appear at event
The Vancouver Police Activities League and Fisticuff's Gym are staging a boxing event on Oct. 8 at the Clark County Events Center.

The bottoms of this and the Buzzy Bumble Bee fleece costumes are gathered with elastic and the tops are tied together with a ribbon drawstring closing. Basic directions for the two are similar but the collars and headpieces vary. If you want a plumper effect, stuff tissue paper or polyester fiberfill in the body area. However, most children prefer this less bulky version, which allows them to sit comfortably, run around and join in games without restriction.
You Will Need
1 3/4 yards orange fleece, for body
1 yard of 3/8-inch-wide green ribbon, for neck edge
1 yard 3/8-inch-wide elastic, for bottom edge
1/2 yard green fleece, for leaves
1 piece of brown felt 6 x 3 1/2 inches, for stem
1/4 yard black felt, for face
1/4 yard paper-backed fusible web, for face
Plain headband
Pipe cleaner
Tape measure
Glue gun
Where to Buy
Most of these supplies can be found online at JoAnn.com, Fabric.com and SewAndQuilt.
What to Do
Cutting Directions for Pumpkin Body and Face:
1. Cut 2 rectangles each 27 x 25 inches from orange fabric.
2. Trace around patterns on green fleece and cut out 8 small leaves and 4 large leaves.
3. Fuse webbing to black felt. Draw triangles for eyes, nose, and a jack-o'-lantern mouth on paper side of fusible web. Cut out along drawn lines.
Making the Pumpkin Body:
4. Remove paper from black felt features and fuse them to the right side center of one of the orange rectangles for the front of the costume.
5. Refer to diagram. To make armholes, measure down 8 inches along each 25-inch edge of each orange rectangle and mark fabric. Then measure in 4 inches along the top edges of the rectangles and mark. Draw a line connecting the marks on each side, as shown in Figure A, and cut along the lines.
6. Turn under a 1/2-inch hem along each armhole and press. Topstitch hems in place.
7. Stitch 2 same-size leaf pieces right sides together, with a 1/4-inch seam allowance, leaving the wide end of leaf open. Turn leaf to right side. Repeat this process with remaining leaf pieces. When you are finished, you will have 4 small leaves and 2 large leaves.
8. Baste one large leaf and 2 small leaves (large leaf in center) to top edge of body front. Repeat for back.
9. Turn under 1/2-inch casing along the top edge of front and back. Stitch in place. With right sides together — and leaves inside — stitch front to back at sides, with 1/2-inch seam allowance.
10. Insert green ribbon through the top casing for a drawstring closing.
11. Turn under 1/2-inch casing at bottom edge and stitch, leaving a 3-inch opening for inserting the elastic.
12. Cut elastic to 29 inches. Insert the elastic through the casing and overlap elastic ends by 1 inch. Stitch ends of elastic together.
13. Have your child step into the costume through the top. Gather the neck edge by pulling the ribbon and tie in place secure.
Making the Headpiece:
14. Cover headband with green fleece. Cut out 12 small leaves. Join and complete leaves as in the collar. Glue or sew 6 finished leaves to headband, forming a circle.
15. To create stem, begin at one short end of brown felt and roll up tightly. Glue remaining end in place. Insert a pipe cleaner into center of stem, trim even with stem.
16. Glue or stitch stem to center of leaves.

Rangers CEO Greenberg leaving organization
ARLINGTON, Texas It didn't take long for Chuck Greenberg to become a very visible figure for the Texas Rangers, buying the team in a dramatic bankruptcy court showdown and then taking on the role of CEO and managing partner before the team's first-ever World Series.
On Friday, seven months after his investment group bought the team, the AL champion Rangers abruptly announced that Greenberg was leaving the organization. The move came three weeks before the season opener.
Growing differences between the charismatic CEO, team president Nolan Ryan and board co-chairmen Ray Davis and Bob Simpson had been an ongoing issue out of the public eye.
"In reality, management styles and chemistries sometimes don't fit together. That was the situation with Chuck and the board and Nolan," Davis said. "Chuck made a huge contribution and we wish him all the best success in the world in whatever he endeavors to do."
The ownership group has already bought out Greenberg's small financial stake in the team. Simpson said Greenberg turned down the opportunity for another position in the group, one "not in the full role that he was enjoying."
Ryan will add the title of CEO and oversee baseball and business operations, reporting directly to the team's board of directors. The Hall of Fame pitcher, who finished his 27-season playing career with the Rangers, became their team president in February 2008.
Davis and Simpson, the largest investors in the ownership group, wouldn't get into specifics about the differences with Greenberg in what was their first formal news conference since taking over the team last year. Neither would Ryan.
"I don't really think there was an event that created the separation. I think it was just a combination of philosophies," Ryan said. "It's like a marriage, you never know. You think things are going to work. ... In business until you really get in there on a day-to-day basis do you really get a true feel for how it's going to work."
Greenberg didn't return several messages left by The Associated Press, but in a statement released earlier by the team indicated the differences in the ownership group.
"Unfortunately, Nolan Ryan, the co-chairmen and I have somewhat different styles. While I am disappointed we did not work through our differences, I remain wholeheartedly committed to doing what's right for the franchise," Greenberg said. "Together we concluded it is best for all concerned for me to sell my interest back to Rangers Baseball Express and move on. I do so with a heavy heart."
Greenberg, a Pittsburgh attorney who owns two minor league baseball teams, recently moved into a new home in North Texas. His role had been to oversee the business side of the franchise while Ryan took care of baseball operations.
Greenberg and Ryan were the most visible figures during the prolonged process of purchasing the Rangers from Tom Hicks. After entering into exclusive negotiations with Hicks in December 2009, an initial agreement was reached the following month.
But the acquisition was delayed and ended up in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The team's May filing included a plan to sell to the investor group led by Greenberg and Ryan, but angry creditors successfully argued to reopen the bidding.
The messy court fight dragged on for 11 weeks and included an auction showdown with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban last August. The Ryan-Greenberg group finally won with a bid valued at about $590 million.
"Chuck's determination during an extremely long and complicated sales process was crucial in delivering a positive outcome for our ownership group last August," Ryan said. "We owe him a great deal of thanks for those efforts."

Guess that's one way to keep dirt from clumping on your tire. And, I want your pedals.

Greece has been thrown further into political panic after the centrist Democratic Left party said it would not join pro-bailout parties in forming a coalition.
The Democratic Left said that it could not join the emergency government, called for by the Greek president Karolos Papoulias, unless the far-left Syriza party also agreed to the deal.
But Syriza have ruled out forming any coalition if Greece continued to back the massive austerity cuts required by the EU and IMF.
The cuts have been demanded by the international organisations before a fresh round of bailout loans totalling around 240bn euros can be agreed. The package must be implemented in June if Greece is to avoid a likely default on existing loans.
But since the 5 May elections, which saw voters flock to anti-bailout parties, Greece has been left with no clear government.
Frantic deals and counter deals to try and form a coalition have been reported - and so far all have failed.
So far no major party has been able to form a stable executive, and efforts to bring the four major parties together in a national government have also failed to stop talk of new elections - meaning more delays before the bailout money can be sent.
Without a government in place the possibility remains that Greece could default on its debts and be forced to leave the eurozone.
In a poll held over the weekend more than 87% of Huffington Post UK readers said that Greece would eventually leave the euro.
Meanwhile EU finance ministers were meeting in Brussels on Monday to discuss the Greek situation, and the possibility that the country may eventually be forced to leave the single currency.
Shares in Greek banks fell dramatically on Monday morning when markets opened in Athens. Piraeus Bank shares lost 9.7% in value, followed by Alpha bank which fell more than 8%.
Banks elsewhere in Europe, including in London, fell on the news that EU ministers were discussing the possibility of a Greek exit from the eurozone.
Analysts and officials have also begun openly discussing the possibility of Greek leaving, with Luc Coene, governor of the Belgian central bank, speaking of an "amicable divorce" in an interview with the Financial Times.
According to the European Commission Greece's economy will contract by 4.7% in 2012, and is unlikely to grow in 2013.

What kinds of things should I incude in my NJ homeowner's insurance policy?
I live in New Jersey, purchased my first home. Home is NOT in a flood zone, but I want to be protected from theft, fire, anything that might happen that would prevent me from living in it. I want contents covered to the max, and I want loss of use to the max. I want to make sure I have every possible protection, due to what I've seen after Superstorm Sandy.
Water damage to Home.
What is the hourly rate the insurance company will reimburse for clean up done by home owner?
why do contractors always ask "what is the amount of money your insurance is going to give you before wanting to give you a quote? should we tell anyone how much coverage we have? is it recommended to let contractor speak with our adjuster?
Outdoor hot tub contents or structure
Recently I had a fire at my home in NY state that completely destroyed the home. I had an outdoor hot tub. I have an elevated deck (9 feet) and cut a hole in the deck to fit the tub. I then built a structure to withstand the weight of the hot tub filled with water. The deck and hot tub were totally destroyed by the fire. My question is; is the Hottub considered part of the damaged structure or contents? Thank you.
cleaning of items

One year deadline after fire loss is approaching - Can't get everything done in time
My parents' home was destroyed by fire. I lived with them along with my 3 children. We turned in an inventory list of 3000 items. The list was so hard to compile that we didn't get it turned in until 6 months after the fire. We received a check for the ACV from Country Financial. Our one year deadline will be May 19, 2015. Matching receipts has been a much harder job than expected, and I'm worried we can't make the deadline. My parents are aged 79 and 85. I'm realizing that they are not willing or able to finish their part of the list. They don't seem to understand how the process works and what they're entitled to. I'm taking 2 weeks of unpaid leave from my job to try to finish, but still not sure I can get it all done. Is it too late to ask for them to waive the contents itemization requirement? We're overwhelmed and worried.
Wanting to negotiate after receiving the "undisputed" payment
In the next week, we are expecting to receive an estimate for rebuilding our home which was lost in a fire in February. Our State Farm adjuster is completing this estimate and is telling us that it will be no problem to receive additional compensation after this initial payment if it turns out that it costs more to rebuild. We are planning to build a different (smaller) house so we are worried that it will be very difficult to get State Farm to provide any further compensation. We know that we should take the State Farm estimate and have a contractor or consultant give us an estimate but our adjuster is saying that we should just wait until we are rebuilding and if things turn out to be more expensive than estimated, we can come back to State Farm for more money. Really??? Could you explain this part of the process? Do we have any leverage during the meeting with the adjuster?
Home owners policy
We had a claim for hail damage - new roof and siding. My husband was a contractor so he did the work. I told the insurance company this from the beginning and asked for instructions on how to handle things. They told me to log our hours, keep receipts and send an invoice when we're done. I followed the instructions and now they're saying I was told the wrong thing and the price from their estimate is all they'll pay. I had an estimate from the contractor we would have hired if my husband didn't have time and it was about $6000 more. I'm not sure what to do now.
I have ALE and the insurance company wants me to pay $631.00 and I only been in the hotel for one week. Do I have to pay the ALE this soon? I know I have to pay something, but wow. I am consulting with you, because this disaster has changed my life.
Settlement process on government move claim
Hello, We were moved by the government back to our home of record recently and are in the midst of settling with them on several items damaged in the move. One item is a significant cultural artifact made by a well-known artist from our state. Thus piece has been broken in two and in our culture, repair to this item is impossible as it breaks the spirit and thusly, the value of the piece. We are being told that because a High Value Inventory form was not completed (it was never offered), the maximum they can give us is $1500. When I questioned them that electronics and other items cost more than that, they came back with this form issue. We contracted a museum archivist to provide historical and cultural expertise on this item and she says in her "assessment of value" that these items are irreparable and the value to be between 20-35K. They want to settle for 4K which I wrote in form.
Home inventory after water damage
I am ready to fill out an inventory loss form from my insurance company in regard to inventory contents that was damaged by water leaking onto the contents due to a bathroom plumbing/toilet malfunction. Cannot describe/see eveything as very water damaged. Do I need to describe each item accurately if it is so water damaged that I cannot identify some items and can the ins. co. give me one lump some instead of itemizing each item, especially those almost beyond listing due to the water damage? Also, ins. adjuster did mention that ins. co. may forgo some of my deductible i must pay if some of the parts replaced by the plumber such a flange could be defective. How can I prove they are defective? I did save the old parts that were replaced.
tree removal large loss fire AAA insurer
We had 8 scorched trees on the property (dead or dying). AAA gave us 500 per tree the total of 4000. We had the trees taken down. The cost was 4800 and we paid additionally. The trees are going to be hauled away by someone who wants the trees. The roots are still there near the previous foundation. We got an estimate of 2000 for the excavator to remove the roots. We asked AAA if this could be provided to us because the work is related to prepping the property for building. You cannot have a root next to the foundation. We feel it is work necessary before you put in foundation. This is an excellent price for excavator to out the roots. Many of the roots are 3 feet in diameter. What is AAA responsibility. They are saying it is restoring the land and they are not responsible. THank you
Loss of Use for vacation second home
We are covered in the declaration page for 76,000 for vacation loss of use. Our home that burned down is a second home meaning we go there for vacation time. I estimate 71 times a year. Down the street there is a bed & breakfast charging 185-205 not including taxes. The insurance company lets us use vacation loss use on an incurred basis. I have asked for lump sum. I do not know how to figure 71 times per year to come up with a fair figure. What if it takes us longer then a year to settle the claim. I want to be fair in my proposal. They are reviewing my offer of 16,000 which is low compared to 75,000 but their response is way too low like 4000. I do not know what to counter.
recorded telephone statement/ interview
hello. my policy with fireman's has a clause requiring me to submit to an EUO but nothing about a recorded phone interview [with an sui investigator] they want me to have. despite the clear language in the contract, a supervisor said 'a recorded statement is included in the requirement to have an EUO'. the strange thing is that they have paid about 75% of the claim already and there is less than $9000 of the claim left. my adjuster left the company 3 weeks ago and no adjuster contacted me. instead, the siu investigator keeps insisting on a recorded phone conversation. i have reached out to a supervisor but , as written above, he too keeps insisting on a recorded statement. they have not sent me a written proof of loss form . my sixth sense tells me something is wrong but i have been dead straight with them . i am uncomfortable---can i decline to do so?
demolition and debris removal
I have an additional 10% written into my homeowner's insurance policy for debris removal and an additional 10% of policy limits for demolition of my home. The adjuster is telling me that they can only include it in my settlement offer if I exceed my policy limits. I am also told that the code upgrades can only be included once the city has inspected the property. My house was built in 1926, the fire occurred Aug 29, 14. I have a public adjuster and I am not sure if the information he is giving me is correct. I have 100 Replacement cost policy with and additional 50% for coverage Dwelling, Content and ALE. I am also told by my adjuster (the one that works for me) that they can not replaced the plaster in my home with plaster but they have to use blue board. I do understand that my policy is a replacement cost policy with "like kind and like quantity. Help I am my wits end
Do I have to use the contractor that provided the repair estimate to my insurance company?
We had some water damage from a toilet that over-flowed. It made it to our living room and buckled our wood floors. We hired a restoration company to do the demo and dry-out. My agreement with them was for the demo and dry-out only (but they wanted me to sign a contract for them to do the restoration as well, which I did not sign). They then came back and provided an estimate for the restoration. They have been very aggressive at inserting themselves into the process. Specifically they came back when the adjuster was on-site. They also submitted their demo/dry-out bill directly to the desk adjuster. Am I required to use this contractor for the repairs? Do I need to tell the insurance company what contractor I'm using before they pay me? Will it change the amount they pay me if I do choose to use someone else? If I can repair for a cheaper price can I keep the difference?
Recoverable depreciation vs. non recoverable depreciation
My policy states in "special conditions" the words: actual cash value, however, when the list of work to be done was submitted to my Hail restoration company there was no indication of such, so the roofer bid the job thinking that depreciation would be released at time of completion. The adjuster informed me that depreciation would be released, however the underwriter, after a period of 5 months finally answered his phone indicating that no depreciation in the amount of 2000.00 was to be released, and after 2 months of waiting for a skylight supplement finally sent that out, but for 6 weeks did not return any calls regarding the skylights. i need help with this... what do i do?
Can we ask our insurance company for a different adjuster? Current one wants to go straight to EUO
We have been working with this adjuster on our personal property loss claim. She told us directly that because she suspected the lost property might be for business she wanted to go straight to EUO. We tried in vain to persuade her to do a recorded statement with us (and we will be willing to provide all docs including tax return) before she decides if EUO is needed. We don't want to do EUO without an attorney but it makes no sense to spend on attorney fees for a small case like ours. We do not plan on lying about or hiding anything but it feels like we are treated as cheaters and by going straight to EUO, the adjuster was forcing us to walk away. Any advice how to proceed? I will try to talk to the adjuster's manager tomorrow but if again our request is declined, can we ask our insurance company for a different adjuster?

homeowners insurance cancellation from State Farm Insurance
HELP!! I own a townehome and a next door neighbor had a flooding issue the end of Sep. 30th I had to file a claim, about 6 weeks later my neighbor on the other side also had a flooding issue caused by contractors restoring his home. I had to file claim #2. I just got a non renewable letter from State Farm because I am uninsurable. I have been the victim since day one and now I am being further victimized by the insurance company. I should also add that the payment they gave me to restore my home is way below contractors estimates. I am physically and mentally worn out and in distress because I am a victim and being treated like I purposely caused the flooding and damage. I need advice as to my legal rights, can I sue them and how to proceed to get them to reverse their decision because if this stands nobody will want to insure me. Thanks
A car hit our home. Do we pursue a claim with our homeowners insurance, or the driver's insurance? They accept full liability.
The teenage driver was speeding and instead of hitting the break when he lost control, hit the gas. He destroyed landscaping, a fence post, and crashed into our entry way, damaging the porch rail, two walls, a window, and double front doors. I have been trying to work through our homeowner's policy with State Farm, but the service has been awful, and their adjuster's replacement cost value is $15,000 lower than our contractor's estimate. I then switched to working with AllState, but they want us to accept whatever estimate American Technologies, a restoration contractor with mixed online reviews gives, and once they come up with an amount, there is no recourse. There is a chance of structural damage, so it concerns me that we couldn't come back to them with additional cost. Anyone have any advice for how I should proceed?
insurer error in contents coverage limit
Contents adjuster did a quick claim and payment, saying I was grossly underinsured and it was clearly a maxed-out claim. I was not asked to itemize. I later found she had erred in my coverage limit by $30K+. She verified that her data was wrong, my declarations page was correct, and said via email that she would adjust the claim and send me a check for the remainder. When I followed up about payment a few weeks later, she said that she couldn't adjust the claim and I would have to itemize to get the $30K+ ... even though it is 4 months after my loss! She then increased the payment to the debris removal company (up to an additional 5% when a claim is maxed out) as if I had been paid my full $100K in coverage (which would seem to indicate the validity of a $100K claim). Can I be forced to itemize to get a payout for the remaining coverage? How should I proceed? THANKS!
Insurance estimate is quite low
Insurance is constantly paying less and no contractor is willing to do the job. I need some names of General Contractor who can write up an estimate, negotiate with the insurance and will not be adulterated by insurance undercut the scope of the Job to meet their profit.

reminds me, of my first stopover in a Boeing 707, en route to London, a final refueling stop, to overcome flying the bulge. The previous day, there had been an accident, thus no newspapers at JNB nor on the planes, been lucky so far with flights and delays ;-)))
Hi Eva, I just love your Namibia page...makes me rather homesick as I lived there for 10 months baack in the '80's! Definitely one of my favourite places....greetings from California!
Glorious, glorious stuff! Thank you!
Marvelous pictures. Namibia is a spectacular country indeed. It is one of the few African countries I want to visit.
Always wanted to go to Africa, and after looking at the pics, i think its lovely!!! :) Greetings from Msia!
Very interesting tips and nice pictures Eva; desert, quiver trees, canyons, wild animals, fascinating people. . . do you think a 2-3 weeks trek is possible in this country (during Austral winter)?
'Quiver Tree Forest' is a beautiful pic.
Excellent tips and photos. I'm off to Namibia in Sept - can't wait!
Great tips! I am heading to Namibia in a few weeks..hopefully I won't come across any puff adders!
Thank you. I have a friend from Namibia and I don't even know where the country is. Today, with a world map, and your page, I finally have a better understanding. : )

Picture: The Beckham children are collected from school in David Beckham's black Escalade and is followed by members of the family's security team Los Angeles, California...
LATEST: A third person has been arrested in connection with allegations of theft from the British home of VICTORIA and David Beckham.
Two former housekeepers at the couple's mansion in Hertfordshire, England - dubbed Beckingham Palace by the British media - were taken into police custody on Monday (13Oct08).
And another man has also been quizzed by officers as part of the investigation, it has emerged.
The probe centres on allegations that personal items belonging to former Spice Girls singer Victoria and her soccer player husband David were put up for sale on internet auction website eBay.
They were said to include designer clothes, sportswear, and a pair of David's football boots.
The two former housekeepers who were held by police have been named as Eric Emmett and his wife June, from Essex, England - and they have hit back at reports that they were involved in the items' sale on eBay.
Eric Emmett tells the BBC, "What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense. Totally fabricated, 99 per cent of it is totally untrue."
The Emmetts have been released on bail until 22 November (08). The third person - a 25-year-old man, also from Essex - has been bailed and is due to return to a Hertfordshire police station in November (08).
Throughout the early 1960s, the Cold War was in full swing. Two agents, one from...

I'm trying to write a program that will put lower case letters entered from the console into alphabetical order. It must discard upper case letters and any non-alphanumeric. This is what I have so far. It works OK but I still need to implement the code to remove uppercase and non-alphanumeric. Any ideas on how I can implement that into this program? Thanks!

Nadia's Group
She fully repaid her three previous loans from Asasah (a microfinance institution in Pakistan) and now is applying for a loan to buy chairs, tables, and tablecloths for her husband's burger joint in order to provide his customers with a better service.
She is joined in her loan group by four other members: Rashida baji wants a loan to buy biscuits and sweets to resell; Asifa baji wants to buy utensils for her food business; Irshad baji wants to buy scrap (iron, papers, and plastic bottles) for her scrap business, and Shahnaz baji wants a loan to buy lentils, cooking oil, and rice for her food business.
This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

During the recent President's Week vacation from school, five creatively-inclined Ithaca teachers had the rare opportunity to spend their break in residence at the Saltonstall Arts Colony. This program, now in its second year, provided each teacher-artist with a private apartment, studio space, vegetarian dinners, peaceful surroundings, and long, uninterrupted hours to devote themselves to their arts, all at no cost to the teachers. Some funding was provided by the school district's Fine Arts Booster Group, an affiliate of Ithaca Public Education Initiative.

The Ithaca City School District counts arts learning as important. Students have access to art instruction taught by certified teachers throughout their grades K-12 experience. One fine arts credit is required to graduate from high school. Arts instruction during the school day, graduation requirements and certified teachers reinforce the value of arts learning.
Our district has benefited from seasoned teachers, many of whom are also practicing artists. Elementary art teachers have the distinction of instructing every student every year, developing relationships over time. In addition, elementary art teachers are often collaborators with general classroom teachers to reinforce learning in other subjects....(read more)
No student or teaching practice is one dimensional. Students are not all science or math or art. Best teaching practices are not all lecturing or all demonstration.

The whole notion of STEM + Art = STEAM is a widely adopted movement initially championed by the Rhode Island School of Design.

Video Game Violence
There are many different views about video games and the effects violence has on children and society as a whole. Many feel that games are harmful and have no purpose but to serve as an unintelligent and wasteful medium of entertainment. Others feel that games have plenty to offer and
will one day be as respected a medium as television, radio or books. Input from both sides of the issue was gathered and a conclusion was drawn based on various studies and opinions. Throughout The course of this report, the issue of violence in video games and the overall worth of games in general will be addressed.
There are a lot of negative views concerning video games, particularly of the violent variety. Critics say that violent games are a pretty poison for society, fancy blood and fireworks with no redeeming value. They say that video games take innocent young children and taint them with images of fiery destruction. Many of these critics also see that most of the games on the market are violent and bash the industry for it.
Video games are one of the most engaging form of media on the market, there's no denying that. But does the immersiveness of games make them more apt to blur the line between fantasy and reality? Some people say so. At the very least, it is desensitizing, so there can't really be anything
good about it. And yet, marathon sessions of Quake have not made the author of this essay into a raging mass murderer, or even any less squeamish at the sight of real violence. Perhaps one may become desensitized to artificial violence, but at the same time not to real world violence.
Just how do games effect impressionable young children? Do they effect them at all? No studies seem to be decisive on this issue, but it would seem that upbringing plays a major role in how a video game effects a child's life. Other important factors are the kind of game ...
