Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman Willy Loman Quotes
Quote 52
HOWARD: Where are your sons? Why don't your sons give you a hand?
WILLY: They're working on a very big deal.
HOWARD: This is no time for false pride, Willy. You go to your sons and tell them that you're tired. You've got two great boys, haven't you?
WILLY: Oh, no question, no question, but in the mean time… (Act 2)
Howard recognizes Willy's pride as means of hiding from reality. Though Howard does wash his hands of Willy in this scene, in a way he's trying to help the old salesman. If Willy would only recognize the reality of his situation, he'd be able to get by.
Quote 53
WLLY [the last to leave, turning to Charley]: I don't think that was funny, Charley. This is the greatest day of his life.
CHARLEY: Willy, when are you going to grow up?
WILLY: Yeah, heh? When this game is over, Charley, you'll be laughing out of the other side of your face. They'll be calling him another Red Grange. Twenty-five thousand a year. (Act 2)
Willy's exaggerated sense of pride about Biff is an extension of his own fears and insecurities. If Biff turns out to be a failure, then Willy will feel like he's a failure as well. Like many parents, much of Willy's personal pride is based on the success of his children.
Quote 54
WILLY: I—I just can't work for you, Charley.
CHARLEY: What're you, jealous of me?
WILLY: I can't work for you, that's all, don't ask me why.
CHARLEY [angered, takes out more bills] You been jealous of me all your life, you damned fool. Here, pay your insurance. [He puts the money in Willy's hand].
WILLY: I'm keeping strict accounts. (Act 2)
Willy's sense of pride irrationally prevents him from accepting a job working for Charley—but allows him to accept loans he will undoubtedly be unable to repay. Charley is an incredibly generous guy, considering how badly Willy treats him.

Actor Edvin Ortega helped kick-off the second season of the new FOX television show, "The Following," with an appearance in the premiere episode. For those who missed it, the episode, titled "Resurection," will have an encore performance on January 27th.
Edvin will also be assisting in the season two premiere of the popular Netflix show, "Orange is the New Black," due out later this spring. The Cuban-born actor is rising quickly on the acting scene in New York and has several other projects in the works, including a role opposite veteran soap star Jimmie Bernal in the telenovela "El Capo."
We recently caught up with Edvin Ortega to find out more about his roles in these two popular television shows and more.
Tell us about your role on the season premiere of FOX's "The Following."
EDVIN: In the episode, I head back to school as a criminology student in Ryan Hardy's (Kevin Bacon) class. After I try my best to impress the instructor, things quickly get complicated for him and the situation gets very intense. This role really spoke to me because growing up I was always interested in criminology and almost went to school for it. I think if I wasn't acting, I would probably do something in that field. I was thankful to have a chance to revisit an old passion.
Now that there is no longer any six degrees of separation between you and Kevin Bacon, what was it like working with him?
EDVIN: Working with Kevin Bacon was a great experience. I learned a lot from watching him get into character. He really set the tone for the scenes. It was like taking a master class in acting. He is a true professional, someone I look up to and a really nice guy. I had been a big fan of his for years.
I was born in Cuba where there is a ban on American products, including films, so one of the only films I ever got a chance to see while growing up was "Footloose". I fell in love with the story right away. I have always enjoyed dancing and being brought up in such a strict environment I related to the characters, so you can imagine that for the little boy inside me who grew up in the streets of Havana with an uncertain future, getting the chance to work on a national TV show with Kevin Bacon was a dream come true.
Any interesting stories from the set that you can share with us?
EDVIN: One interesting from the set was that most of the students from my character's class were played by actual criminology students from John Jay College in New York. I got to talk to them about the show and they shared with me some really interesting facts about criminology and police work which really helped me get into character.
You'll also be appearing in the second season of Netflix's "Orange is the New Black," can you share a little bit about your role in that?
EDVIN: Without giving too much away about the second season, I can tell you that I find myself caught up in a bad situation. I am really excited about this role. This character is very different than some of my previous work, so I think it will be a surprise for people to see. I enjoyed every minute of working with director Daisy Mayer and the amazing cast and crew. The acting on this show is spectacular. We worked closely with the writers and producers on telling a great story and I think it will show on the final product. It was a great feeling showing up and knowing I had the chance to work with such great material and actors. This was one of the most fun sets I have ever been on!
And, you've got a few other projects in the pipeline, too. What can you tell us about these?
EDVIN: Yes, currently I am very happy to be working on a few other projects. I am working on the telenovela "EL Capo 3," which is directed by fellow Cuban Lilo Vilaplana. This will actually be my first time working on a telenovela and I am really excited about it. I think my abuela will be very proud since this is the first time she will actually be able to understand the dialogue. The director and I connected right away and I really appreciated all his advice and feedback.
We are also in post-production for the indie romantic dark-comedy, "Meeting Molly," where you will get to see me sing, dance and play the ukulele. After meeting with director Parker Sargent and discussing the character of 'Ray' he said he knew I was the right fit for this caring and sincere role. My character is Cuban, so I was given some artistic freedom to bring my culture and background into the role. I have always been into music and especially pop music, so getting to sing in this project was a special treat for me. Before I got into acting I was actually in a boy band and that was something that I really enjoyed. Doing the project actually helped me get back in touch with my music roots, so don't be surprised if there is an Edvin Ortega live tour coming soon.
And, I am currently shooting the zombie indie film "29 Alexander," starring as a cop during apocalyptic times. The movie puts a new horrifying twist on a classic genre. This is a story that everyone can relate to, since it is really about how far a man is willing to go to protect his family. I play a character that fights back, so as soon as I read this script I knew it was a project that I wanted to do. Writer Brian Melso did a great job with the script and I can't wait for you guys to see it and be terrified.
You may also see me make a cameo in the film, "Lady Peacock," now playing in several LGBT film festivals. This is the 3rd film I have worked on with director Jana Mattioli who is always supportive and a lot of fun to work with. Our first film together was the comedy "Bidentity Crisis." We both have a lot of passion for the film industry and it shows whenever we work together.
I am also very proud to be working with Disney. I am a live event host for Radio Disney in New York. This is a lot of fun because I get to perform live and really connect with people. I especially love making kids smile so this project is close to my heart.
Finally, how can your fans keep up with your career?
EDVIN: I am an avid user of social media so my fans can keep up with my career thru my my Facebook: www.facebook.com/edvinortega
or via Twitter: www.twitter.com/iamedvinortega
and even on Instagram: www.instagram.com/iamedvinortega
And, of course my official website: www.edvinortega.com
Thanks, Edvin…we'll be watching!

TUCSON – Each week, Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez and his staff will select Player of the Week honorees based on performance leading up to and including the game each week. The Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) upset then-No.10 USC, 39-36, on Saturday at Arizona Stadium.
Co-Offense: Matt Scott, Senior, Quarterback
Scott accounted for four touchdowns and 469 yards of total offense to pace Arizona against USC on Saturday. He completed 27-of-50 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns, and added a career-best 100 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
Co-Offense: Austin Hill, Sophomore, Receiver
Hill was Arizona's leading receiver against USC with 10 catches for a career-best 259 yards. Saturday's game marked his fourth 100-yard game of the season and the fifth of his career. He averages 17.4 yards per haul and 117.1 yards per game. He ranks fourth in the Pac-12 and tied for 21st nationally in receptions per game (6.75) and No. 2 in the league and No. 5 nationally is yards per game (117.1).
Defense: Marquis Flowers, Junior, Linebacker
Flowers accounted for three takeaways against USC. He finished the game with a pair of interceptions, a forced fumble and seven total tackles. On the game's opening possession, Flowers halted a 13-play drive for the Trojans when he intercepted Matt Barkley at the UA 26-yardline. Flowers returned it 14 yards, which set up a seven-play, 60-yard touchdown for the Wildcats to claim an early edge. The interceptions were the second and third of Flowers' career.
Special Teams: Derrick Rainey, Junior, Cornerback
Rainey, earning his second-straight start at cornerback, ended the game with four solo tackles. He also played an important role among the Wildcats' special teams units. His coverage and blocking performance as a member of the punt team allowed Kyle Dugandzic to average 42.8 yards per kick with four landing inside the 20-yard line. Additionally, Rainey and the unit did not allow a punt return yard in the game to USC's Robert Woods.
From the scout team, freshman receiver Jarrell Bennett on offense, senior defensive lineman Christian Upshaw on defense and freshman receiver Clive Georges on special teams were also honored for their efforts during the USC game preparations.
Arizona hits the road on Sat., Nov. 3 for a matchup at UCLA. The game is slated for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff and will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

College Hockey:Potsdam Topples Fredonia At SUNYAC Challenge
Pile Of Penalties Reflects New Emphasis
The Potsdam Bears defeated the Fredonia Blue Devils, 7-4, in the first game of the season-opening SUNYAC Challenge in a game overshadowed by the new point-of-emphasis penalty calls.
Thirty-five penalties were called in a game where a body check was rarer than a goal. Sixteen of those were some sort of obstruction call while another eight were "normal" holding, hooking, or interference. Fredonia had 15 power plays, but only converted on one while Potsdam scored once with a two-man advantage and once with a one-man advantage out of 12 power-play tries.
Besides those three goals, Potsdam scored two shorthanded goals (one an empty-net goal), and Fredonia got one shorthander. Also, there were two 4-on-4 goals. Only three of the day's scores occurred with a full complement of players on the ice.
The first penalty was called 19 seconds into the game, and it didn't stop until the last one was whistled with 13 seconds left.
The coaches weren't thrilled.
"I got a quarter of my bench just sitting there watching this hockey game tonight. How fun is that for that kid?" said Fredonia coach Jeff Meredith.
"It's very difficult to get everybody into the game. That's the hardest part about it," Potsdam coach Glenn Thomaris said.
Fredonia took control of the first period, outshooting Potsdam, 16-2, but could only notch one tally. Brian Kolesar flipped a shot in from the left point on the power play. Rob Barnhardt appeared screened on the shot as he barely moved.
"I think we had some opportunities, but we didn't cash in on them. We let them off the hook," Meredith said.
"Fredonia was very hungry," Thomaris said of the first period. "Our guys didn't handle situations well. They dominated our play in the first half of the game until our guys got a little bit hungrier and started skating a little bit smarter and moved the puck."
Fredonia took a 2-0 lead early in the second while shorthanded when Joe Muli lifted a shot over Barnhardt, who had gone down trying to cover as much of the net as possible after making a save on a shot by Jim Gilbride.
Potsdam scored the next three goals to take a 3-2 lead. Greg Lee scored first on a broken play. A perfect setup was missed by Potsdam, but with all the bodies crashing the net, the puck somehow found its way past Rick Cazares.
T.J. Sakaluk tied the game when he whacked the puck in from in the crease after Fredonia failed to clear it. Nic Bibic gave the Bears the lead on a controversial shorthanded goal. The 2-on-1 pass from Adam Gebrara was behind Bibic's stick. However, the puck hit Bibic's skate and went in. The referees ruled Bibic was in the normal skating motion, and thus allowed the goal.
Fredonia tied it up before the end of the period on a Gilbride tally.
Potsdam quickly retook the lead after a minute of the third period on the power play. Ben King's hard shot from the right point went wide, but the rebound bounced out in front to be put home by Gebrara.
"I didn't think we handled some of the penalty adversity very well in the second half of the game," Meredith said.
Sean Brackin made it 6-4 when Cazares had trouble handling a loose puck and Brackin was there to bang it home. Fredonia came right back on the only back-to-back full strength goals in the game. Gilbride notched his second of the night when he too took advantage of a goalie unable to handle the initial shot.
Potsdam put the game away on two consecutive goals by Ryan McCarthy, the first on a two-man power play and the second a shorthanded empty net goal.
Barnhardt wound up with 34 saves for the win while Cazares took the loss with 17 saves.
Can anything be taken away from a penalty filled game with no rhythm? "Yeah," Meredith joked, "We need to spend time four-on-three."
Potsdam wishes it had another year out of Chris Lee.
Meanwhile, the only injury report was for the penalty box operators who were nursing sore arms from opening and closing the doors so often.

In God's Name
Michigan Now Relies
On Churches to Help
People Leave Welfare
A Religious Group Is Given $100,000
So Its 'Mentors' Can Provide Guidance
Giving the Children Rosaries
by Dana Milbank
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
March, 1997
SPRING LAKE, Michigan -- If you really want to get people off welfare, goes the thinking here, you have to change the rules. And in Michigan, that means blurring the rigid separation between church and state.
The state has told welfare officials to start "reaching out to ... faith-based organizations for help" in guiding people off public assistance and back into the mainstream. So now, someone like Latisha King -- an unmarried mother of three, on welfare for five years -- is paired in a state-funded program with a mentor who brings her to church and Bible classes.
Ms. King isn't complaining. She chose the church, Spring Lake Presbyterian, with a congregation of 425, from among 60 churches offering to counsel welfare recipients. She credits the church and her mentor with helping her complete training to become a welder. Meanwhile, she now takes communion, attends a Christian parenting class, wears a Jesus bracelet and borrows books from the church library -- all for the first time. "I've grown quite a bit in my faith," she says.
A 'Nonjudgemental Attitude'
The real leap of faith, though, is the government's. Under the program supported by Gov. John Engler, a religious group can be paid to provide mentors to enhance welfare recipients' "self-esteem and self-sufficiency." While the state requires the mentors to have a "nonjudgmental attitude," it doesn't prohibit them from getting welfare recipients involved in religious activities.
The officials who pioneered the program, called "Project Zero," to get welfare rolls down to zero, have generally been comfortable with the approach. Gerald Miller, who was the state's welfare chief when the mentoring program was approved, says contracts with church groups are written so they don't prohibit proselytizing. If mentors want to do that, fine, as far as I'm concerned. I've always felt a little faith-based values never hurt anybody," says Mr. Miller, who now works at a Lockheed Martin Corp. division seeking state welfare contracts.
Loren Snippe, director of the welfare office in Ottawa County, which includes Spring Lake, helped lead the way in bringing in religious groups. "From my official position, the primary goal is keeping people employed; my personal belief is a spiritual component is part of that," he says. If mentoring "blossoms into them attending a church and being religious, great."
Questions at the Top
But the ties to churches have prompted some second-guessing, even in the agency that pioneered the effort. Marva Livingston Hammons, who came from New York City last month to succeed Mr. Miller as Michigan's welfare director, says "there is not to be a religious component" in the mentoring program, and anything to the contrary "needs to be dealt with."
Government has long subsidized religious groups' charitable work, but with strings attached. Generally, government agencies are prohibited from funding or getting involved in programs that promote religion or that, in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court, incur "excessive entanglement" between church and state.
But as the states tackle tough social problems, they are seeking more cooperation with church groups -- without always expecting that they mask their religious motives, Next month, Texas will allow a Christian ministry to run the prerelease program at one of its prisons. In Maryland, Anne Arundel County, which Includes Annapolis, is taking the public assistance it would otherwise pay to a welfare recipient and giving it to churches that agree to care for the recipient. And as part of the welfare-overhaul law enacted last year, Congress guaranteed that a church has a right to compete for state contracts to perform welfare services without compromising "definition, development, practice and expression of its religious beliefs."
A Long Track Record
Michigan has set up its mentoring programs with two contractors: the Salvation Army in Detroit, which gets $375,000 this year from the state, and Good Samaritan Ministries, an ecumenical social-services provider In Ottawa County, which gets $100,000. Sixty Ottowa churches participate -- mostly Christian Reformed or Calvinist, but also Lutheran, Methodist, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic and others. Mr. Snippe says he invited Good Samaritan based on its track record in working with the county's poor. There was no bidding for the contract, and no other groups were asked to provide the services.
Ottawa's welfare office has referred 71 recipients to Good Samaritan, or more than 25% of its caseload. The recipients, like others around the state, are under tough new guidelines that require them to work. They are offered mentors, but participation is voluntary. If they do want a mentor, they can request the denomination they would prefer,
Mentors get four hours of training, which ranges from the secular to the religious. They are told how to help recipients with budgeting, goal-setting and day-to-day problems. They also talk about encouraging, but not forcing, the "clients" to God. "We don't want to force people into any church attendance or to make spiritual choices against their will, but if there's an opportunity to help people come to terms with spiritual issues, we want to do that," says Bill Raymond, Good Samaritan's executive director.
Good Samaritan also has given mentors a training manual titled, "Becoming a Friend and Sharing the Good News." The manual, which is used for other programs as well, instructs parishioners in evangelism techniques. "Through contact with you, they become involved in the church," the manual says. "They come to know you and other Christians better.... They make a decision about letting Christ lead and govern their lives."
The manual advises showing people "in very real and practical ways how accepting and following Jesus can be good news in their lives.... When you identify one or more needs or themes, you can begin to respond to them by suggesting resources available through Christ's body, the church."
Drawing the Line
After questions by The Wall Street Journal about use of the manual, Good Samaritan officials said Friday they would pull it from the state-funded program. "These are questions we knew were going to come up eventually," Mr. Raymond says. "We're trying to draw the line where everybody can live with it.'
But Good Samaritan still sees the mentoring program as a way to bring religion to needy people. The goal, "bottom line, [is] a personal relationship to God with Jesus Christ," Mr. Raymond says. "As a Christian, that's my desire for society at large. I have a professional opportunity to bear that out with the cooperation of the government."
And, says Mr. Raymond, a religious component is inevitable if you ask churchgoers to help. "If clients ask questions, it's not fair to ask churches to keep their mouth shut," he says. "Part of the motivation for church-based volunteers is spiritual commitment. If you ask them not to talk about this, it undermines their reason for doing this in the first place."
The Role Model
In most the approach is low key, a mentor tries to be a role model, not a preacher. That has been true for Julie Krupp, a travel agent and a devoted Catholic who volunteered to "adopt" 33-year-old Donna Huynh and her five children, ages six to 14.
Ms. Krupp first took care of Ms. Huynh's earthly needs. She and other St. Patrick's Parish volunteers helped pay a local garage for car repairs, allowing Ms. Huynh (pronounced "win") to keep driving to her job. She is also helping the family find new housing to replace their leaky home, where all five children share one bedroom. When the Huynh children were infected with lice, St. Patrick's paid $300 for medicine.
That kind of attention has been vital for Ms. Huynh, who has been on welfare for three years. "There was no one to talk to. I'd go in the bedroom and cry," says Ms. Huynh. "Now I have Julie."
Ms. Huynh, who isn't Catholic, said she used to be "really down on churches." But now she is more interested and credits Ms. Krupp, who says, "I do hope Donna finds God, and I believe she will, in her own time."
Ms. Krupp spends a great deal of time with the Huynh children. On weekends she takes two kids at a time to spend a night and play with her own children. After a birthday party for six-year-old Korey Huynh fell through, Ms. Krupp ordered a cake and took him out for video games and go-cart rides. She also has brought the children into the church. She gave them rosaries and allowed Katie, who is nine, to hold the Eucharist plate during one service. Ms. Huynh is grateful: "The kids have got to have something in their life, and I'd rather get them into church than something else."
In Ottawa County, many welfare recipients seem eager to take as much religion as they can get, for with it, their mentors say, come the confidence, hope and discipline they need to rise from poverty. Not everyone is happy, though: Five recipients quit the program after being matched. One who is thinking of quitting says "it's getting too pushy for me -- I feel like they're running my life." She resented being confronted by a mentor who wanted to make sure she wasn't living with her boyfriend. One of her mentors, Marleen Snyder, is equally exasperated. "It's almost like working with an infant," she says of the woman, who asks not to be identified.
Bible Class and Bracelets
Ms. King, the newly enthusiastic Presbyterian, says she had always been a believer but had lacked an outlet for her faith. She had visited Spring Lake Presbyterian a few times before hearing about Project Zero, but felt an outsider. After requesting a mentor, she was assigned Nancy Prelesnik, who first brought her cleaning supplies and gifts from the church. Meanwhile, church members arranged to fix her 1987 Plymouth Reliant, which had sprung an oil leak. Satisfied, Ms. King said she would drop out of the program, figuring it had achieved its aim.
Ms. Prelesnik wouldn't hear of it. They agreed to meet weekly at church. One member of the church began arranging regular Bible study. Ms. Prelesnik gave her a schedule for a Christian radio station. She also gave Ms. King and her boys knit bracelets that say "WWJD" -- short for "What Would Jesus Do?" Ms. King, 27, doubts she would have become active in the church without Ms. Prelesnik. "I don't know any other Christians, hardly," she says.
Ms. Prelesnik, a former nurse who has a daughter Ms. King's age, sees a practical benefit to her spiritual guidance: "With a lot of these welfare recipients, what's missing is God. They don't have any grounding."
Ms. King certainly has. On Ash Wednesday, Ms. King wakes as usual at 5:30 a.m. to drop off her children at school and day care before spending the day at the factory for $7.40 an hour. She has thought often of quitting the job, which requires her to weld hundreds of nuts and washers a day -- for not much more than the $751 a month she used to get in welfare and food stamps. To get through the morning, she tunes her radio to a religious program. After work, she joins Ms. Prelesnik at church, where she sits beside her mentor for 15 minutes in silent prayer before accepting, for the first time, the ashes of Lent.
Ms. Prelesnik's pastor, the Rev. Daniel Anderson, thinks the state may indeed be funding evangelical efforts, but he says it is for a worthy cause. "There's a moral discipline that faith can instill," he says. He should know: He grew up on welfare himself and used religion to break free.
The experience has obviously changed Ms. King. A book, "Beautiful Bible Stories," sits on her kitchen table, and another book, "The Psychology of Speaking in Tongues," lies on the coffee table. When the two women sit to eat at a restaurant, it is Ms. King who demands a blessing before the meal.
One important result of all this, Ms. King says, is her ability to stay on the job-something she has never done before. She has no doubt about the source of her new strength: "I've got Jesus to lean on," she says.
When feeling pressure and frustration at work, she uses her coffee breaks to reach for the Bible she keeps in her desk. Her favorite reading is the Sixth Psalm. "Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing," it says. "Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping."
"It's about hard times and how you surrender to God," Ms. King says. "It perks me right up."

I wasn't sure if I should submit this story, because it involved me losing my temper which I don't think was the most productive response, but…
I live in Astoria, Queens. One morning I was heading to work, walking along 23rd Ave to the train. I was just about to put my headphones on to listen to my iPod when I heard a low, drawn-out catcall from one of two guys sitting on chairs outside a barber shop as I walked past.
"Very nice."
me: "What did you say?"
him: "I said you look very nice"
me: "You fucking pedophile, you're old enough to be my father!"
him: "What? It's a compliment!"
his friend: "What are you talking about, he's only 30"
me: "Well he doesn't look like he's 30. And it's not a compliment, no girl wants to hear some random stranger say that stuff to her, it's rude"
him: "I'm giving you a compliment"
me: "no girl wants to hear your 'compliment', I guarantee it!"
him: "you aren't a normal girl then"
me: "no, NO GIRL who is just walking to the subway to go to work wants to hear about you checking her out. you save those kind of compliments for a girl you're dating, don't harass women on the street"
him: "I have a girlfriend"
me: "I bet she loves the fact that you harass women on the street"
He kept insisting that I was a rare species of female, the only girl who did not enjoy his creepy, leering remarks! That every other girl appreciated the 'compliment'! This made me angrier than the initial remarks themselves.
I lost my temper here… I made some insulting remarks about the size of his genitalia, told him to go home and pleasure his girlfriend with his inadequate genitalia and leave everyone on the street alone, and then picked up the coffee cup (nearly empty, unfortunately) which was sitting next to his friend's chair and flung the contents at the two of them before walking quickly down the sidewalk towards the subway.
They yelled violent threats at me as I walked away, but didn't move to act upon them. I realized of course that throwing the coffee cup at them had been a dumb move, but I was livid. The phrase he had said that upset me the most and that haunted me more then the catcall itself was "You aren't a normal girl". Like he wanted me to think I was a freak for being offended and upset by his gross leering comment. And the fact that maybe he really believes that – that it's okay to say those things because "most girls" appreciate it. And that he'll probably keep doing it because he thinks it's okay, even though one crazy girl threw a cup of coffee at him for it.

Quake damage estimate raised
The Treasury has raised its estimate of the damage caused by the Canterbury earthquakes by $5 billion.
The half-yearly economic and fiscal update now estimates the cost at $30 billion, up from $25 billion at the time of the Budget in May.
The new estimate includes $14 billion for repairs to houses, $13 billion for commercial and social buildings and $3 billion for infrastructure.
The Treasury estimates that all of the infrastructure and most of the residential rebuilding will have taken place by the middle of 2017.
It says only $3 billion worth of the estimated repairs required for commercial and social buildings will be completed by then.

On Wednesday, Jan 8, the first regular meeting of Houston City Council was brief, lasting less than one -half hour for the consent agenda and matters held, while still completing significant work on measures affecting future projects.
An ordinance amending Chapter 3 of the Code of Ordinances on Alcohol Free Zones was passed to redefine rules for grocery stores larger than 10,0000 square feet to allow for sales of beer and wine. The measure was largely drafted by Council Member Costello, and the amendment was jointly reviewed by Council members Costello and Green, both attorneys, with assistance from the City Attorney's office.
One of the problems creating "food deserts" (neighborhoods where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away and a high proportion of residents live below the federal poverty level) has been that the law on Alcohol Free Zones near schools and churches made it difficult or impossible to operate a store offering beer and wine. Major grocery store chains rely on beer and wine sales to remain profitable. The amended ordinance will allow larger stores to sell beer and wine, but not permit consumption on or near the premises. According to Mr. Costello, several independent grocers have expressed interest in possible stores, and their owners are reviewing possible sites, weighing alternatives and incentives. (Items 23 and 23a)
In other matters the Council held a public hearing on the proposal to use approximately 6,986 square feet of Steubner-Airline Park for a sanitary sewer corridor. Officials from the Parks and Recreation Department reviewed the legal requirements for the use of public parks for this purpose. They explained why the plan satisfies the requirements. In addition the new sewer will allow for the installation of much needed restroom facilities in Steubner-Airline Park. (Item 1).
The Council also heard the regular financial reports from the Comptroller and Finance Director. The Comptroller's report covered the period of the fiscal year ending November 30, 2013. The Finance Director's report was based on 5 months of actual data and 7 months of projections. Neither report raised new concerns or substantial questions from the Counselors.
The Council appointed Ashley R. Threeton to the Houston Clean City Commission. (Item 2). It also appointed 5 members of the Board of Public Trusts with terms to expire Mach 22, 2014 Position 1 - Parvin Ahmadi McVey, Position 3 - Kim E. Jones, Position 5- Katherine M. Yzaguirre, Position 7- Brie Kelman, and Position 9 – Lillie J. Schecter.

Android Market ratings are important to app developers. I've often seen applications saying something like "Please consider rating us" and then have buttons for "Ok take me to market" / "Not right now".
What I would love to do is show the user a rating bar (like this http://kozyr.zydako.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/defaultRatingBar.png) inside my app and let user do the rating inside my app instead of sending him off to the market.
Is there anyway of doing this?

A federal judge has set a deadline for the Interior Department to decide when it will resolve the long-sought federal status of the Southampton-based Shinnecock tribe following a last-minute challenge of the efforts.
[popup url="http://assets.longislandpress.com/photos/gallery.php?gazpart=view&gazimage=5765″]Click here to view more photos from the Central Islip courthouse[/popup]
At the U.S. District Courthouse in Central Islip Wednesday, Judge Joseph F. Bianco told government lawyers that the department's decision must be made by July 30.
The Shinnecock Indian nation planned to celebrate its first day as a federally recognized tribe Monday, July 19, after they were told in June that the Interior Department had approved the tribe's application for federal recognition, pending a 30-day comment period.
But a Connecticut-based gaming group and members of the Montaukett Tribe filed challenges with the Interior Board of Indian Appeals last week contending the Shinnecocks "failed to meet all the criterion for federal recognition."
Matthew Hennessy, executive director of the Connecticut Coalition for Gaming Jobs, said the Interior Department failed to consider that the Shinnecocks have received financial backing from a Detroit-based casino operator over the past several years.
"It is clear that this recognition process has been hijacked by wealthy casino developers solely for their benefit and as a result, a huge part of Connecticut's economy is at stake," Hennessy said in a statement. The group has not identified what businesses support the coalition.
Shinnecock representatives have been in talks with officials in Nassau and Suffolk counties about locations to potentially build a casino, which becomes possible for the tribe once it is federally recognized.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Mulry said he did not believe the appeals board was operating under any specific timetable for a decision.
But Judge Bianco, noting the Shinnecocks' effort has been repeatedly delayed, said he expected the appeals board to commit to a date for a ruling by the end of the month. If that doesn't happen, Bianco said he would consider an application by the tribe for a judgment in favor of the Shinnecocks' application.
"Both sides have gone too far to have a delay," Bianco said to a courtroom jammed with more than 100 Shinnecock members, many of whom were dressed in traditional Indian clothing, including feathered headdresses.
"Every single New Yorker should be upset at what Connecticut just did, what this group just did," said Lance Gumbs, senior trustee of the Shinnecock tribe. "They're talking about protecting 27,000 jobs in Connecticut, they're talking about their taxes over their, what about New York's taxes? What about New York's jobs?"
"We are going to get recognized," Gumbs said. "It's just a matter of time now."

Hunter Page is the perfect twink: he's fresh out of high school and has landed at Lucas Entertainment to show off the huge cock and bubble ass he earned from his wrestling team. But better yet is the guy who is going to break him in: Dale Cooper, one of the hottest and most interest personalities to star in gay porn. He's beyond handsome, knows how to wear a hipster Brooklyn mustache, and has one of the most incredible bodies in porn today. After Adam Killian interviews the guys they start making out, the clothes come off, and Hunter can't believe how lucky he is when he sees Dale in his underwear. Hunter rubs Dale Cooper's huge dick through his orange briefs before pulling the big dick out and working it over with his lips and throat; Dale runs his hands through Hunter's thick hair and guides his head up and down. They flip and Dale settles between Hunter's legs and works on the twink's huge cock, which is so sexy to see on his slim and tight body. Hunter bends over and prepares for Dale to enter him, and when the twink bends over for Dale's hipster cock he can't handle the penetration at first, but Dale carries on pumping and thrusting. Hunter moans and groans and as Dale fucks him he softly kisses Hunter's back, shoulders, and ass. Hunter asks Dale to fuck him until he comes, and he does just that!
Thinker. Writer. Porn star. Dale Cooper doesn't restrict himself based on labels and instead embraces all of his talents. And Dale isn't just good at sex -- he's great at it -- and when the recession hit gay porn turned into the perfect outlet for him to earn some extra cash. Dale is versatile in and out, and he loves fucking in the great outdoors. Dale once fucked another guy in a third-grade Nevada classroom and he's more than open to getting gang-banged by the Russian Olympic hockey team.
It's probably the three years of rolling around with hot sweaty guys on his high school wrestling team that turned the twink Hunter Page on to performing in hardcore gay porn. Because in porn he can take the rolling around one long and deep step further to actually fucking the guys! Hunter loves wrapping his lips around a cock and giving a blowjob, and he also loves it when his partner blasts his load all over his body. Hunter hopes to get fucked in a gym locker room one day, and we all hope he gets his wish soon!

Let $\{f_{n}\}$ be a sequence of nonzero continuous functions on $\mathbb{R}$, which is uniformly bounded, uniformly Lipschitz on $\mathbb{R}$, and the derivative sequence $\{f_{n}'\}$ is also uniformly Lipschitz on $\mathbb{R}$, and $f_{n}\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$ for all $n$. If $\{f_{n}\}$ converges uniformly on any closed interval $I\subset \mathbb{R}$ to a continuous function $f$, does this imply that $f\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$. If not, what condition(s) the sequence $\{f_{n}\}$ must have to get such result?

You need a bound on the $L^2$ norms of the $f_n$. Since you know that your sequence converges pointwise (even better) the same is true for $|f_n|^2$. You can then use Fatou's lemma applied to $|f_n|^2, |f|^2$ to conclude that the limit is in $L^2$.

I can't believe it!
Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Don't know where else to post this except to my SparkFriends because #1 I know you'll understand and #2 some of you probably have some good pointers/advice.
In August 2009 I started a journey towards better health. I weighed 227 at the time and in 10 months had lost about 35 lbs. I even was selected to do a photo shoot and infomercial which was a blast.
In August 2010 I started seriously training for my first HM and Full Marathon which I completed, but along the way I started eating not as healthy. I actually started eating all the time.
I know as far as physical conditioning that I am in a lot better shape, but I have put about 1/2 the weight back on. I blamed some of it on the long distance training because I just wanted to eat all the time after long runs. Then the holidays came it and I just kept eating because I knew I had a long run coming up and would burn the calories.
I just finished a 15k race a couple of weeks ago with my best miles per minutes for a long distance race (longer than 10k), but seeing some of the pictures posted today I must say I am very disappointed that I let myself put the weight back on even to the point of being disgusted.
Well that's how I feel right now. I run 5k last night at a very strong pace and come home and late night eat extra junk. ARGH!!! I know what I am doing when I do it but for some reason just do it.
Anyway, like I said at the beginning just don't have anywhere else to post this where I feel people would understand.
Feeling a bit discouraged!

You CAN get a handle on this. I understand about wanting to eat all the time. I am in the same boat. What a crazy way to live.
I agree with some of the other posts - eating is necessary but can also end up being a psycological excuse because of running.
YOU CAN AND WILL do this!

I feel your pain! After losing 30 lbs 4 yrs ago when I started spark, I've put it back on. But, I try to look at what else I've accomplished since then. And THAT is amazing!!!
Maybe that'll help you!

We all have setbacks. But today is a new day and a new start!! You have so many things you have accomplished. Take stock in your successes and look for habits to change to become a healthier eater. As with you, I am looking for healhy options that fill me up and supply me with the fuel I need for training. I am trying to stick with the "non-processed" type foods (fruits, veggies, nuts, lean meats) and avaoid the "whites" (white flour, white rice, white sugar, white bread). The longer I stick to it, the easier it becomes. As I write this though, I'm hungry and wanting a snack!!! We can do this!

I really struggle with eating, sometimes worse than other times, and I think it's largely due to running. It makes me a hungry bear, but I think it's also a psychological thing - I think I can "afford" to eat more here and there, and indulge more than I should, because, hey, I'm running like a mad woman, right?!?!? Wrong. I just find myself getting into bad habits again, and the weight starts creeping up! When it comes down to it, your habits will make or break you! Maybe try to revamp your program, and aim to etch out and strengthen those good habits again... I know it's tough, but hang in there!!! You can do it!!!

Palace Confirms That Duchess Kate Pregnant
by Rukmani Krishna on December 5, 2012 at 11:06 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
After Kate was admitted to hospital with a rare form of severe morning sickness the Duke and Duchess were forced to go public with the baby news much earlier than intended.
The 30-year-old Duchess, who found out last month that she was expecting, has not yet reached the 12-week stage of her pregnancy, when couples usually share their news.
AdvertisementShe was taken ill while staying with her parents in Bucklebury, Berks, and drove with her husband to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, where she is expected to remain for several days, the Telegraph reported.
The Duke of Cambridge spent Monday at her bedside. He was seen leaving the hospital at 8.20pm and is expected to be granted compassionate leave from his RAF Search and Rescue duties.
The Duchess's illness prompted a scramble to tell members of the Royal family about the pregnancy before news of her arrival at hospital leaked out.
Royal aides said the decision to go public "was very much driven by the Duke and Duchess", who were aware that it would be impossible to keep the news a secret in the age of Twitter.
"It's a very hard thing to go public at such an early stage, but they wanted to be open with people as much as possible," an aide said.
The Queen, the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, who was contacted in Afghanistan, were all told the news, before St James's Palace made the announcement at 4.01pm.
"Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby. The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news," a spokesman for St James's Palace said.
"The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum. As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter," the spokesman said.
The announcement was followed 10 minutes later by a tweet from Clarence House, the first time a royal pregnancy has been confirmed on Twitter.
The Duchess is reportedly being treated by Marcus Setchell, the former gynaecologist to the Queen, who delivered the Countess of Wessex's two children as well as Leo Blair, the son of the former prime minister.

Findus Pasta ad features gay characters
LAST UPDATED // Thursday, 12 June 2014 09:24 Written by // Cec Busby
Less than a year since the head of Barilla pasta company told media he would never use gay people in a commercial for his brand, rival pasta company Findus has given Italy its first gay themed ad.
The new ad features a coming out story between a mother and son...
The ad sees the gay son hosting a dinner party for his mother and 'flatmate'. After wowing his mum with his surprising pasta skills, the son reveals he has another surprise – his flatmate is not just his flatmate but his partner... But it turns out the mum already knew...
According to gay rights advocates the advertisement is a first for Italy in its positive depiction of gay people and Findus has been praised for the move.
According to Gay Center spokesman Fabrizio Marrazzo in a statement to Il Messagero, the ad shows the normalcy of gay life.
"The advert clearly demonstrates the simplicity of a gay couple's daily life, and acceptance of them in an intelligent way. We applaud Findus and call on all companies, big and small, to do the same. We're still waiting for Barilla to give us a sign in that respect."

Facebook, Inc. Makes a Mobile Move
Carol Kopp
The social site goes to India to find a tech team that can fine-tune its offerings.
In the latest sign that
(NASDAQ:FB) takes its move to mobile seriously, the company has acquired a young start-up company based in Bangalore, India, and is moving its entire engineering team to Menlo Park, California, to help improve Facebook's mobile apps.
The acquisition is one of two big developments at Facebook this week, and the second one will be much more visible to users, at least at first.
As of early April, those notorious "Sponsored Stories" that include apparent endorsements from users in paid ads displayed to their friends, are dead.
But the functionality itself—that is, the marketing of users' "likes" and "shares" in advertising—could actually be much more widespread on the site.
Both moves say a lot about Facebook's plans for future revenue boosting.
First, there's that acquisition in Bangalore, India.
Little Eyes, in business for less than two years, builds performance-optimization tools for mobile apps. Their tools automatically monitor an app's consumption of system resources, and provide reports that developers can use to tweak the apps. Its customers paid a monthly subscription fee for their services, which apparently will no longer be available to Facebook outsiders after June 30.
The Little Eyes team consists of seven engineers who
describe themselves
as "program analysis geeks."
Terms of the deal were not disclosed officially, but the cost was widely reported to be in the range of $10 million to $15 million.
That's a modest acquisition in dollar terms, but suggests the importance of mobile revenue in Facebook's future world.
As is often noted, Facebook is now the Internet's top seller of online advertising, after
(NASDAQ:GOOG). But that's a big "after." Google was projected to earn $38.6 billion in ad revenues in 2013, roughly 33% of all online ad revenue, according to
data from eMarketer
Facebook was projected to earn $6.4 billion. Still, that second-place finish puts it far ahead of the third-place contender,
(NASDAQ:YHOO), which is expected to be at $3.5 billion for 2013.
For now, Google also is way ahead in mobile advertising, the fastest-growing segment of the industry. Mobile already accounts for about 28% of the overall online ad market.
Google was projected to earn $16.65 billion worldwide in mobile last year, half of the entire market.
But Facebook is getting all the positive attention for its quick rise in mobile revenue, from basically zero in 2011. EMarketer noted that Facebook was steaming ahead in its quest for mobile ads. Its global share was expected to reach 15.8% last year, from only 5.35% in 2012, the first year it made a serious push for mobile dollars.
That would make it the only player in the mobile field besides Google to reach double digits in market share.
Those figures were released at the end of August 2013.
We may get a better sense of the final annual numbers soon, as earnings season continues. Facebook announces its latest quarterly results on Jan. 28. Google follows on Jan. 30.
That other big announcement from Facebook this week was easily misinterpreted.
The company said it intends to discontinue sales of Sponsored Stories, a widely-loathed but presumably lucrative form of advertising, after a run of nearly three years. A Sponsored Story ad is displayed to a user's friends after the user "likes" the advertiser's site, with an automated endorsement by the user, such as "Joe Doakes likes Cheesy Poofs."
A closer reading suggests that, while it is ending this particular format, it is actually expanding its practice of marketing its users' "likes" as endorsements.
The announcement this week was buried in a blog for developers that is written in a head-banging pidgin-English that mixes tech-speak and corporate lingo.
A somewhat more lucid
Facebook Newsroom
notice last June offered the first clue to the policy change, and a clearer idea of what it means.
That update reported that Facebook was working to streamline its advertising offerings, and would in future automatically "include the best of sponsored stories in all ads."
Those user endorsements, or "social context" as Facebook terms them, will now be available throughout the company's advertising offerings. The company's posting said that research from Nielsen, comScore, and Datalogix all indicate that such endorsements "can drive awareness and return on ad spend."
Facebook settled a class action suit over the ads for $20 million. The suit alleged that Facebook did not obtain a user's consent for the practice.

When El Galeón, a replica of a ship that traveled the coasts of Florida 500 years ago, sailed into Matanzas Bay on May 21, plans were for it to remain for two weeks before it departed for more ports to the north. But last week, city officials successfully negotiated an extension to the ship's presence in St. Augustine until July 23 and initiated discussions that may have the ship adopt the city as its North America home port.
Docked at the St. Augustine Municipal Marina, El Galéon is open daily for tours offering visitors the opportunity to step back into time as they walk the decks and wander through the ships quarters. The ship is open to the public daily from 9:00am until 6:00pm at the Municipal Marina, 111 Avenida Menendez. Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for children to age 12, and free for children 5 and under.
Tickets are available through the Saint Augustine Ripley's Red Sightseeing Trains outlets in St. Augustine, including the location at the City of St. Augustine Municipal Marina where the ship is located. Although ticket are no longer available online, tickets previously purchased online or at the ticket booths will be honored.
El Galeón, a 170-foot, 495-ton authentic wooden replica of a Spanish galleon, is owned and operated by the Nao Victoria Foundation of Seville, Spain. Twenty-eight crew members must maneuver more than 9,600 square feet of sail area in the same fashion as 16th century sailors. In all, the El Galeón will cover more than 900 nautical miles on its voyage, one that began in Spain, then San Juan, Puerto Rico, finally journeying to and up the east coast of Florida.
The first ship like El Galéon to arrive in St. Augustine was the flagship of founder Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. Named the San Pelayo, the 650-ton ship, one of the most powerful ships of its day, carried 800 colonists and supplies to St. Augustine, establishing the first permanent European settlement in the United States in 1565.
The interest in having the ship based out of St. Augustine was largely driven by the community support and the robust attendance by visitors, as well as the natural fit to have a ship representing a key element of the city's history such a prominent part of the cityscape.

College Hockey:Omaha Breaks Through on the Road
Mavericks Top Bowling Green to Break Seven-Game Road Losing Streak
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — The Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks came into Bowling Green looking to fill some empty needs. They fulfilled them with a 3-1 victory on Friday.
The Mavericks were riding a seven-game road losing streak when they hit the ice and stole the show as they set for a faceoff in the Bowling Green defensive zone with less than a minute to play in the second period. David Brisson scored his seventh goal of the season when he placed the puck in a small hole that was between the post and Falcon goalie Tyler Masters.
Nebraska-Omaha took hardly any time to try and get rid of that streak when freshman Scott Turner capitalized on a Mark Wires cross-checking penalty. Turner scored the only power-play goal of the game at the 3:04 mark of the first period with Jason White and Allan Carr being credited with the assists.
The Falcons knotted the game up at 1 in the second period when they seemed to have the momentum as D'Arcy McConvey sent the puck up to a charging Ryan Murphy, who was coming in on Maverick netminder Dan Ellis. Murphy went in on Ellis with his backhand before sliding it under the freshman netminder.
"They took it to us in the first period," Bowling Green coach Buddy Powers said. "We came back in the second period and had things going pretty good and then gave up that goal in the final minute. That goal was a killer, we had the momentum and gave it away in that last minute and then in the third period they walk down and score."
The man of the game was definitely Carr, who capped the night with a brilliant insurance goal 3:52 into the third period.
"The move that I did was not planned," Carr said. "I was coming down on the defenseman and I lost the puck and I saw it at my feet. I kicked it to my stick and it and I shot it. It all worked out in the end."
The Falcons lack of finishing scoring chances is starting to haunt them as they have scored only two goals on 43 shots in 180 minutes of play.
"You are not going to win if you score one goal it's as simple as that," Powers said. "We had chances to score, and the guys are frustrated as anybody, but the bottom line is if you do not score you are not going to win. We have scored two goals in six periods, so that is the story of the game."
The frustration from the players is much the same as their coach.
"Tonight we had chances and just did not capitalize on them," BG right wing Ryan Fultz said. "We had good shots, good tips, good motion, we had nice plays and opportunities but we are not finishing and that seems to be the theme of our season."
The Falcons top scorer, Greg Day, will be a question mark for Saturday's contest after suffering what is believed to be a very mild concussion in the first period when he was hit by Hoggan at center ice. Hoggan was called for an interference penalty on the play.

Federal Tax-Exempt Nonprofits - FAQs Regarding Work Opportunity Tax Credit
President Obama recently signed into law the VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011. The Act allows employers to claim a tax credit when they hire a qualified veteran. The goal of the legislation is to assist veterans, especially veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, in finding employment after they return to civilian life. Many tax-exempt nonprofit organizations hire veterans and could qualify for the credit. Because organizations that are exempt under Section 501(c)(3) do not pay income tax, the Act provides an alternative way for nonprofits to utilize the credit by reducing its contributions to Social Security. Nonprofits may be able to claim a credit up to $6,240. For more information contact Regina Hopkins at firstname.lastname@example.com

Watch 24 Day 8 2am – 3am, Season 8 Episode 11 Online Now
Christian TV Review: 24 – Day * (2am – 3am): Season 8 Episode 11
Hit television show 24 was back with another exciting episode, with Jack Bauer helping defend America against all sorts of terrorist threats.
As we know, Jack Bauer loves freedom. He is the modern-day epitome of a soldier from the WW2 era. He loves his country, America. He will do anything to defend God, family and country. That is the mark of a true American and what our founding fathers wanted of all of us.
In watching Season 8, episode 11 (2am – 3am of day 8) we find that some typical Arab Muslims have smuggled a dirty bomb into Manhattan of New York. The Arab Muslims from foreign terror lands, the very ones our Christian leader President George W. Bush declared war upon, are once again trying to kill Americans "for sport".
It is up to Jack Bauer to foil their plots. This episode is great fun for the whole family, and educational, because it teaches about the dangers of homegrown terrorism.
Did you know that 2/10 people in your neighborhood are homegrown terrorists? They have been tricked by Arab chants into believing that Arabs are innocent people and that Muslims should not be waterboarded or profiled if suspected of terrorism.
These people are likely to participate in Arab bomb schemes to hurt your children at school or perhaps hijack a local bus or building. This is exactly what happened in this episode, and Jack Bauer had to get down and dirty against an American that became a turncoat.
All the while, the Arab ministry of some small mideast country also helps try to set off a nuke in America. Will Jack Bauer be able to get the turncoat to confess his sins against God and country? If so, how? Will Manhattan get nuked?
These are the dramatic plot points of this episode that you and your family will soon find out as you watch 24 Day 8 (2am – 3am) Season 8 Episode 11 below.
Moral Rating: W, E, FA for Wholesome, Educational, Family Approved for:
shows dangers of Arab terrorism, shows children the dangers of homegrown terrorism, patriotism, no-cussing, terrorists have no rights, pray in tough situations, respect to mother, condemns fornication
- Excited

Our hearts keep shining
Let my life shine, come and let my heart shine
As we walk the world, we lift the bread and wine
Like the stars shine, come and let our hearts shine
In a dark world, we lift the bread and wine
And we were born for this
Born for this day and time
