text: Apr 12, 2013 23:26 Judge: City must pay up pensions Judge: City must pay up pensions BY DANNY MONTEVERDE| New Orleans bureau Comments NEW ORLEANS — An Orleans Parish Civil Court judge recently ordered the city to immediately pay $17.5 million in pension obligations to the firefighters' pension fund. Judge Robin Giarrusso wrote that the city must "immediately budget, appropriate for and pay to the New Orleans Fire Fighters Pension & Relief Fund" $17,524,329. That payment must include interest from the date of the order, according to Giarrusso's court order. While the court order was signed March 28, it only became public Monday. The order to pay the pension obligations comes as the city is facing several other multimillion-dollar expenses, including a consent decree for the New Orleans Police Department and the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. Mayor Mitch Landrieu has said that being forced to pay both consent decrees would require drastic cuts, including layoffs of police officers and firefighters. Ryan Berni, a spokesman for Landrieu, said the city will file a motion for a new trial "on the grounds that the ruling is contrary to the law and evidence." Though the city presented legal and financial arguments about why it should not be forced to pay the money, Giarrusso cited state law that says the city must properly fund the pension system each year on a financially sound basis. Giarrusso wrote that when the city did not appropriate the required contribution three years ago, the pension board's secretary-treasurer, Richard Hampton, told the Landrieu administration about the lack of funding. Knowing that, Giarrusso wrote, the city "proceeded to knowingly continue deliberate underfunding into the 2012 fiscal year … while fully funding other retirement systems." Giarrusso wrote that the fund is now only 33 percent funded. The city's argument that the fund has $175 million in assets "ignores reality," she wrote. In 2010, the city contributed $10.6 million of the $13.9 million required that year, according to a report by the Bureau of Governmental Research. In 2011 and 2012, the city contributed $11.4 million each year, below the $23.9 million and $28.9 million required, according to the BGR. Though the BGR report found many of the public sector pension plans in the local area, including for firefighters, more generous than those offered to employees in the private sector, the problem of the firefighters' pension cannot be ignored, it said. "By underfunding the plan, the city is expanding the gap between the … fund's assets and liabilities," the BGR wrote in its November 2012 report on local pensions. "It is pushing the funding burden further into the future." Despite the existing court order and how Giarrusso interpreted the law, Landrieu is hoping that the state Legislature will approve a series of bills that would change how the firefighters' pension system operates in the future. The mayor has said the firefighters' pension fund is too expensive and costs the city about $50 million a year, is only funded at 40 percent and has suffered poor investments, prompting him to ask the state to take action. The Legislature created the pension fund, meaning only its members can make changes to it. State Rep. Kevin Pearson, R-Slidell, chairman of the House Retirement Committee, filed four bills that deal with the pension fund. One bill would reduce the number of firefighters pension board members from 10 to five, bringing the pension board under local control. The city has said that change would create a balance between current and retired firefighters and include a financial expert from the city. Another bill would increase member contributions from 6 percent to 10 percent. The city has said that is more in line with other retirement systems, including the New Orleans Police Department. The city also wants all firefighters, regardless of years of service, to continue to contribute a portion of their salaries. Right now, firefighters on the job for more than 20 years do not need to contribute anything to the pension fund. Right now, firefighters' final average retirement compensation is based on their highest four consecutive years of employment with the New Orleans Fire Department. The third bill Pearson filed would increase that time frame to five years. The fourth bill Pearson filed would allow the New Orleans City Council to establish and manage a new firefighter retirement system and allow that system to assume the assets of the existing fund. That would mean the Legislature would no longer have to approve changes to the pension board's operation. Landrieu has said the proposed changes could save the city $2 million a year if approved. City Council Vice President Jackie Clarkson, who serves as chairwoman of the council Budget Committee, said Tuesday that the court forcing the city to pay nearly $18 million it does not have would be "devastating." The bills that will be discussed in Baton Rouge are the only way to ensure that the funding shortfall does not happen in the future. "That's what it's going to take for them to not be penalized," Clarkson said. Nick Felton, president of the local firefighters' union, said that he hopes the city will meet with his group in an effort to work out an agreement regarding payments.

The Centers for Disease Control released a gloomy report on autism last year — it found that one in 88 American children had been diagnosed with autism. Unfortunately, the prevalence has worsened; currently, one in 68 children are born with the disorder, and one in 54 of those are boys!
Researchers are desperately attempting to isolate the cause. They know it is a neurological disorder with no real cure that lasts a lifetime since it stems from a chromosome abnormality involving brain neuro-transmitters. They found autism is genetically transferable with a 15 percent chance of more than one family member having it, occurring eight times more frequently in boys than in girls. There is also growing evidence pointing to environmental factors, including pesticides, air pollution, and other environmental toxins that could impact brain development and lead to autism.
Before the Center's depressing findings, in a population of 10,000 children born, the incidence breakdown was something like this: there were three to five severe autistic cases, 10 moderate-to-mild cases, and 50 to 75 with a Pervasive Developmental Disorder, not otherwise specified. Children diagnosed with the latter will still be affected in the manner noted above, so, out of a population of 1,000 school children, five to seven or eight will suffer from a mild-to-severe form of this condition. Unfortunately, these statistics have worsened.
Not surprisingly, autism comes from the Greek work meaning "self." Babies with the disorder prefer a solitary existence. It is hard for parents to get them to do the "oooo" back-and-forth communication, and quite often, these babies don't hold up their hands to be picked up like other infants. Instead, parents receive a "wet noodle" response, or the baby may grow as rigid as a board to avoid being picked up or touched. Autistic children can be spotted in birthday party videos, for they rarely do "declarative pointing" to get others interested in their newly opened gifts. The "point gaze" is missing as well — while playing, they rarely look up at their parents to read their faces, then look back at the toy. They may not respond or look up at parents until their name is called several times.
The fact that one in 68 children fall somewhere along the autism disorder spectrum is both distressing and frightening for parents-to-be. It is beyond my comprehension as to why this national calamity was not mentioned in either the Republican or Democratic national conventions. Ironically, Geraldine Dawson, the chief science officer for Autism Speaks, calls the situation a public health crisis that demands a coordinated national response, increased research, earlier screening, and better treatment.
For the sake of our children and parents-to-be, I pray our national leaders heed Dawson's words.

With 18 days left of their Kickstarter campaign, San Francisco-based NudeAudio was well beyond their goal of raising the $75,000 needed to launch their newest Bluetooth speaker, the Super M. In fact, at last check, they had raised $395,353, which means they are just $104,647 from their stretch goal of $500,000 at which point their backers will get to vote on a new color to add to the lineup which already includes petrol (a soft blue), plum, pine, and black. If all the buzz about the Super M is on point, it looks like NudeAudio is seriously onto something with their less-is-more design strategy.
Instead of fussing with with loads of unnecessary features and design gimmicks, NudeAudio is investing its money into a few key features of the Super M. Inside of the pocket-sized Super M, NudeAudio has fitted four full range Neodymium acoustic drivers, two passive subwoofers, and a high capacity Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that is projected to last up to eight hours. Additionally, the Super M features speakerphone functionality for hands-free calling. As a matter of smart design and the kind of protection that ought to be standard on all small, portable audio devices, NudeAudio has designed the Super M to meet the IPX5 standard for ingress protection. What this means is that the Super M can withstand water blasted at it from all angles through a 6.3mm nozzle at a flow rate of 12.5 liters/min and a pressure of 30 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters. In other words, the Super M is highly water, sand, and snow resistant. On the outside, the Super M features a shockproof silicone sleeve to stand up to the kind of abuse real life throws at it. When you think about it, shouldn't everything you carry around with you be design like that?
If you want to get in on the Super M action, you should act soon. Over 4000 people already have, and based on what I've experienced thus far with a preproduction prototype, it looks like no one is going to be the least bit disappointed. You'll have to check back in a couple weeks to peruse the full review. For more information about NudeAudio, click here. To check out the Super M Kickstarter campaign, click here.

Almost ten years ago, while I was busy checking out my shopping at Macy's, my daughter who was 3 at that time, hid behind a pillar. As I turned around and saw that she was missing by my side, I frantically started calling out her name. The store clerk joined me when she sensed my distress. It turned out that my mischievous little one was playing hide-and-seek. When I finally spotted her, I hugged her tight for a long time and almost cried.
I had lost sight of my daughter for just a few seconds, but the incident unnerved me. As a mother of two girls, I cannot even verbalize the anguish and pain of the mothers of the Nigerian girls who have been missing for more than a month now. As a woman, a mother and a Muslim, my heart aches at this grave atrocity. How can this horrible and massive abduction be justified in the name of Islam?
Boko Haram loosely translates into 'Western education is sin'. This organization uses the word 'Haram' (sin) in its name. It is a grave anomaly. The mere fact that an organization connotes a negative term to define its existence, speaks volumes about its true motives. The fact that they employ the name of Islam demonstrates their ignorance. They are not cognizant of the basic values of the faith, which is inclusive and grants abundant permissions to everyone including women.
Boko Haram is not a religious organization, it is a hate group. It is guilty of grave sins. The abduction of innocent girls in the middle of the night has taken its atrocities to a new level. This gruesome act is a slap on the face of humanity.
Boko Haram does not represent Islam. Rather, it is the antithesis and an expression of the worst form of barbarism that is reminiscent of sixth century Arabia where women were considered mere chattel and baby girls the victims of infanticide.
In the earliest years of Islam and ever since, women and other disenfranchised sections of the society find solace in the egalitarian spirit of Islam as it safeguards their fundamental human rights. A girl's right to education and emancipation are guaranteed.
The world must not judge Islam through the lens of Boko Haram. This radical organization shares a parallel with the very same forces that Islam initially set out to counter. Islam's narrative is peace and harmony and that remains unattainable in a society where women are denied basic rights and treated as less equal or held hostage.
How can an organization deserve credence and find justification in Islamic jurisprudence, if it publicly proclaims that the innocent girls who have been kidnapped will be used as slaves when Quran clearly forbids the detaining or enslaving of women against their will (4:20)
Critics of Islam are quick to jump to hasty conclusions in an effort to demean Prophet Muhammad and accuse him of polygamy. Many of his later wives were those who had been offered to him as slaves, as booty of war. However, he elevated their status and offered them protection and marriage to which they willingly consented. Prophet Muhammad married Saffiya- a Jewess and Mariya – a Coptic slave, even though he was not obliged to.
The fundamental objective of Boko Haram is a crusade against Western education. It aspirations are medieval and it represents a threat to enlightenment. It must be dealt with an iron hand and curbed. It poses a grave danger to humanity. The world must act immediately to #BringBackOurGirls.
This incident has touched a core with all families across the world. Daughters are precious and are a treasure. They are the future leaders of the world. A firm resolve to educate our daughters is mandatory to counter the hate of Boko Haram. All girls in the world deserve the right to freedom and education.
Every day, as I look at my two beautiful daughters, I thank God for the immense blessing and joy that they bring to my life. I earnestly pray that the bundles of joys are soon reunited with their Nigerian moms. I hope the earnest call, the plea to #BringBackOurGirls reverberates across the world and doesn't subside till our innocent daughters are freed.

Beverly Hills - There comes a moment in every filmmaker's life when all the sweat, when all the angst, when all the maxed-out credit cards, when the effort-against-all-odds seem worth it: official recognition of your baby. The 6th Annual Beverly Hills International Film Festival handed out its awards to an international cast of independent filmmakers and actors last Sunday night. The closing Gala Awards ceremony took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel and, while only a few walked off with tiny statuettes, the many were honored.
The BHFF founder, Nino Simone, has declared that this Festival, held in the film industry's back yard, is dedicated to showcasing and promoting non-studio films to the entertainment industry, with a nod to the internationally talented nature of independent film. Accordingly, the Festival's Golden Palm Award for Best Film in All Categories went to "Assyriska: A National Team Without a Nation", directed by Nuri Kino and Erik Sandberg. This documentary was the third episode in a five part series that chronicles an Assyrian soccer team from a small Swedish town as it achieves international stardom.
The Best Foreign Film Award went to "Verso La Luna Con Fellini", directed by Eugenio Cappuccio. Another documentary, this film featured the late, great Italian director Federico Fellino shooting his last film, "La Voce della Luna" and which took fourteen years to come to the screen.
The Best Actor Award was picked up by Patrick Warburton for his role in "The Civilization of Maxwell Bright" and Best Actress went to Dita Von Teese (she of the famous recent marriage to bizarro rock front man, Marilyn Mason) for "The Death of Salvador Dali".
Harold Cronk won the Best Director Award for "War Prayer", an intense short film inspired by a Mark Twain story, proving that great art can come in small packages.
The Beverly Hills Film Festival offers an interesting Award category: Best Producer. At the Academy Awards, this is the Oscar picked up by the producers of the film that wins Best Picture and it is refreshing to see that BHFF recognizes the extraordinary work of the person who 'brings it all together' to create a film. In this case, that accolade goes to H. Thomas Jones for "The Real Deal", a documentary about Los Angeles' John Malpede and his two-decade commitment to a performance theatre for the homeless on Skid Row.
Best Director of Photography was awarded to Denis Maloney for "The Locrian Mode". Best Screenplay was picked up by writer/director Sam Friedlander for "Lucid", Best Editing went to Hayley Lake for "Brother" and "Rattus Pistofficus" was selected as Best Animated Film (directed by Sam and Josh Reed).
Special Jury Awards went to "Achados e Perdidos" for Best Feature Film, "Rwanda Alive: Those Who Listen" for Best Documentary and "Brother" for Best Short Film.
Audience Choice Awards are always fun and this year's Best Feature Film went to "The Civilization of Maxwell Bright", Best Documentary went to "Orquesta Tipica: Tango or Death" and Best Short to "Escape".
The BHFF also recognizes screenplays and this year's Golden Palm Screenplay Competition Award went to Kim Sky and Dariusz Uczkowski for "A Broken Child". With luck, next year's competitive line-up will feature this completed film!

We know that she ruled Omega, and is probably an extremely powerful biotic, but in ME3 it was shown that even the Asari councilor was at her beck and call despite having lost her seat of power. Was it ever explained in any of the mini comics how she came to have so much influence or power?
Basically she worked her way up from the bottom, proving that she is capable of being the leader of Omega.
She started as an exotic dancer in the Afterlife club while she plotted how to kill the owner. Once he was dead she claimed ownership and began building alliances and influence on Omega. She eventually overthrew, but did not kill, the former Omega leader, a krogan that goes by the name The Patriarch. She kept him alive and working for her so that others would see him as an example of her power and influence.
Over the years since then she has just built more alliances and influence.

Tulsi Gabbard's Moment of Truth
Rumor is that your support of the LGBT community is not genuine. Given your (and your father's) statements against LGBT rights in the past, why should people believe you've changed?
Tulsi: I've gone through some extraordinary experiences over the last decade, which have led me to realize that I could not, in good conscience, fight for liberty and freedom overseas while advocating something less than that here at home. That was an important decision for me and, in that context, I fully recognize that protecting the equal rights of all Americans, including those in the LGBT community, is an obligation we must strive to fulfill. This personal journey makes sense to most people I talk to.
This election is real—it's not just philosophical. In less than three months from now, people will be deciding whether I or Mayor Hannemann will have an office in Congress. I have promised that my door will always be open and I will always listen with respect and aloha to people from the LGBT community. So on a practical level what this means is that if you or any other leaders of the LGBT community were to come to Washington DC for a visit, I would do my best ensure that you will always feel comfortable coming to speak about issues of concern to you or just drop by for a friendly chat. You have to ask yourself if you think that would be the case if Mayor Hannemann is in that congressional office. Does anyone in the LGBT community really feel that they would be welcomed by Mayor Hannemann?
And I've said many times before, I am committed to working for equal rights, will work for the repeal of DOMA, and will support and co-sponsor the Respect for Marriage Act. Has Mayor Hannemann made such commitments? The answer is no. So in a sense, this election is not about Mayor Hannemann or myself. It's about you. It's about which of us—Mayor Hannemann or myself—would make you feel more respected and comfortable expressing your concerns to.
You served two tours in Iraq. What was your MOS, and what insights/observations did you bring back from those tours?
Tulsi: I was Patient Administration (91G) and Medical Logistics (91J) on my first tour of duty to Iraq. For my second tour of duty to Kuwait, I served as a Military Police Platoon Leader, and later a Company Commander. Currently working as a Security Officer in the unit headquarters Operations Section.
During my tours of duty in the Middle East, I saw firsthand the tragedy that occurs when a government tries to act as the moral arbiter of its people, and does so with the force of law. I saw women forced to cover themselves from head to toe. As a woman, I, too, was ignored and treated like dirt. A Kuwaiti man once refused to shake my hand because he did not want to dirty himself. I saw people punished merely for enjoying "western" music. Iraqis civilians with whom I had become friends confided to me that they feared for their lives because they belonged to the "wrong" religious sect. Personal behavioral choices, such as chastity or sexual identity, that do not conform to government edicts carry the risk of extreme punishment. Though I did not personally witness any stoning or beheading, I was fully aware that these are the usual forms of punishment meted out for the "crimes" of adultery and homosexuality.
My experience in the Middle East touched the very core of my being, causing me to seriously reflect on my own views of the role of government in our personal lives and decisions. After much soul-searching, I came to realize that many of the staunch positions I once held on social issues were flawed.
Over time, I came to a fuller understanding of what our Founders were trying to achieve by drafting a constitution that would protect the rights and liberties of all people to live the way they choose without interference from an overarching government. It became clear to me that as an elected official I would have to publicly admit that I had been wrong. Even more difficult, I would have to publicly reject positions held by my parents, whom I respect and love dearly. But I had no choice; it was the right thing to do.
Once again, let me state unequivocally my belief that government has no business interfering with the choices a woman makes about her reproductive rights; nor should the government have a say in who a person is to love, marry, or spend the rest of their lives with. As a member of Congress, I give my solemn word of honor that:
(1) I will fight any effort to undermine women's reproductive freedom;
(2) I will fight for the repeal of DOMA; and,
(3) I will support the Respect For Marriage Act.
My life has been a 30-year-long journey that has spanned many continents and the full spectrum of political thought—a journey that has finally come to rest on the shore of personal freedom. Nothing is more important to me than freedom. Freedom is the reason we wear the uniform, and why we fight. Freedom is what makes America great.
Our freedom is precious and must be protected. Allowing government to dictate these most personal aspects of our lives is diametrically opposed to what makes America great: individual liberty and equal rights for everyone.
Can you name one life-changing experience?
Tulsi: One of my responsibilities in Iraq was to go over the list of troops who had been injured or killed and identify Hawai'i soldiers so that I could make sure they were receiving proper care. With each name from Hawai'i came names of family members or loved ones whose paths I may have crossed, streets or neighborhoods in which I might have played. This experience had a profound effect on me.
This experience has never left me. And it's one of the main reasons I'm running for Congress.
It makes me angry that our country, which my brothers and sisters in uniform have sacrificed for, is being destroyed from within by self-serving politicians, big corporations, and Wall Street banks.
This is why in Congress I will fight to put Congress back in the hands of the people by breaking up the big banks, reining in financial institutions that engage in risky trading, ending subsidies for oil companies and other big corporations, and demanding greater transparency in the dealings between lobbyists, politicians and contributors.
Let's talk about issues important to military personnel, including LGBT personnel (ending DADT, treating PTSD, unemployment, education, treatment of female service members etc.).
Tulsi: It is time for people to realize that patriots come in all shapes, colors, and sizes—and sexual orientation. Every American has the right to serve their country. I was in favor of ending DADT because I know that LGBT personnel are just as proud of their country as anyone else, and the blood they shed in service to their country is just as valuable. I was therefore honored to be responsible for implementing the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell in my Army Guard unit.
As for differences between male and female service members—such differences are superficial. The debate over whether women should be assigned combat roles has already become irrelevant because of the very nature of warfare today. Everyone in a war zone is on the front line. You can get killed just as easily riding in a helicopter or in a convoy as on a search and destroy mission. Whether it is in the work place or in a war zone, I believe that everyone—male or female, should be treated equally. In the military, that would mean uniformed personnel are assigned duties based solely on their qualification and level of training, without regard to race, gender or sexual orientation.
While we're on the subject of the role of women in combat, I should point out that never in our nation's history has a woman combat veteran ever served in Congress. Close to two million women have served in our military, hundreds of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, but the voice of a female combat veteran has yet to be heard on the floor of Congress. As a woman and war veteran, I hope to be that voice in Congress.
LGBT people have the same concerns as Straight folks when it comes to jobs, the environment, the homeless population and most of all, traffic! What can you do for us in these regards?
The first order of business is the economy. You know, it wasn't so long ago that this country had a balanced budget and zero deficit. That tells me that getting our economy back on track is not an impossible dream. We just need to stop the partisan bickering and take some necessary and decisive action.
In Congress, I will work to inject fairness and common sense into our federal budget, by making sure that huge corporations and the ultra-rich do not get special treatment or extra tax breaks, while working class people struggle to make ends meet. I will also fight to eliminate cronyism, and the rampant waste and abuse that is sapping our fiscal strength and eroding the people's trust in their government.
Our country is headed for another economic meltdown—but it will be even worse than the last one. This is because the banks that were "too big to fail" in 2008 are even bigger now. The only way to prevent this is serious Wall Street reform.
I completely agree with former Senator Bryon Dorgon who concludes that in order to save our country's economy we must do three things:
1. Restore the Glass-Steagall Act
2. Ban naked credit default swaps
3. Get rid of "too big to fail"
In addition, we need to end oil speculation. By the one simple act of ending oil speculation, oil and gas prices will be drastically reduced. This will help our economy on every single level. So long as oil and gas prices are high, our economic recovery will be anemic at best. Oil speculation and high gas prices will continue so long as members of Congress are more concerned about the interests of the giant corporations and Wall Street banks than they are in the interests of our country.
The measures described above, combined with increased support for small businesses, will solve our unemployment problem. It is outrageous and astonishing to me that while big corporations and Wall Street banks are basically allowed to do whatever they want without much meaningful regulation, small businesses, which are the true engine for growth in our country, are overburdened with bureaucratic red tape. This has to change. But it's not going to change so long as the voice of small businesses are not heard in Congress because they are drowned out by the powerful voices of big business.
I find it impossible to talk about jobs and the economy without talking about ending the war in Afghanistan. We are literally pouring $2.5 billion dollars a week into a corrupt government. This is absolutely mindboggling to me, considering what we could do with all that money here at home to rebuild our economy and create good jobs. This is one of the main reasons I'm offering to serve in Congress. It is absolutely crucial for our economy, for our national defense, and for our troops and their families, that we immediately withdraw from Afghanistan in a safe and orderly fashion.
Our brave men and women in uniform have served this nation honorably and sacrificed tremendously. We have decimated al Qaeda in Afghanistan, we have killed Osama bin Laden, and we have provided the Afghan people and government with the tools they need to succeed. In order for Afghanistan to achieve stability and peace, the Afghan people must stand up and determine the direction of their future. We must take the $2.5 billion a week we are pouring into Afghanistan to prop up a corrupt government and invest those dollars here at home — to rebuild Hawai'is economy and create good jobs.
As a lifelong environmentalist, I will continue to fight to preserve and protect our precious 'aina—not only so that we can enjoy clean air and water ourselves, but for future generations.
I believe that protecting the environment must go hand-in-hand with building the economy and creating jobs. That is why I am a strong and fervent proponent for developing clean, green, renewable energy resources, for which Hawai'i is already uniquely positioned to become a world leader. In Congress I would strive to create incentives to attract such industries to set up business in Hawai'i. This would have a three-pronged effect of providing jobs, a boost to the economy, and helping to preserve the environment, all at the same time.
Building the economy, creating jobs, and protecting the environment are some of the basic tasks that our representatives in Congress are supposed to be doing. Unfortunately, too many of them have stopped caring about the needs of our working families, and are only looking out for the interests of giant corporations and Wall Street banks which fund their campaigns.
Finally, you asked what I would do about our homeless population. There are many reasons why people are homeless. From my point of view, the most important reason is Hawai'i's high cost of living. People are struggling just to pay for the basic needs of housing, food, and gasoline. Many of us in Hawai'i are not that far from being homeless ourselves. I don't believe that we should be resigned to the prospect that nothing can be done to drastically lower the cost of living. For one thing, as I've already mentioned, we can reduce the cost of energy. We need to end oil speculation, which will immediately reduce gas prices. This will in turn reduce not only the cost of our transportation, but will reduce the cost of everything else we need, including food, whether imported or grown here, construction, etc.--all which depend on gas and oil.
Secondly, we need to take steps to end land and housing speculation in Hawai'i. The combination of land and housing speculation, along with the shortage of available rentals is a problem. We need to take drastic steps on the federal, state, and city level to rectify this situation, By reducing the cost of housing and food, people won't be forced into homelessness. We need some serious long-term solutions. Until then, I will continue my efforts to help the homeless, by securing federal funding to build more temporary housing, and to provide counseling, education and training, and job placement. As a city councilwoman I worked to get $8.6 million in federal grants to fund 22 homeless assistance programs, but I know that this is not nearly enough.
These are just a few of the reasons I'm offering to serve in Congress. If the people of Hawai'i give me the honor of serving them in Congress, I will fight for equal rights for those in the LGBT community and all Americans and to put an end to the culture of greed and corruption that pervades Washington.

Editor's note: Jon Denney, '85, was a standout swimmer at Stanford and established a school record in the 200-yard butterfly in 1984. He has spent 22 years working at the university, most recently as senior associate vice president for development. Denney has been instrumental in fundraising at Stanford and will begin a new job on September 1 as chief development officer for the United States Olympic Committee and president of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Foundation.
-By Jon Denney
As a high school senior, I was attracted to Stanford because of its strong academic reputation and its up-and-coming swimming program. Thanks to donors to the Buck/Cardinal Club whose gifts provided scholarship assistance, I was able to attend Stanford. I am very grateful for the generosity of those donors who made my Stanford experience possible.
I enjoyed my four years as a member of the Stanford swimming team, training under the legendary Skip Kenney. One of the highlights of my swimming experience was being co-captain of the 1985 NCAA Championship team during my senior year. It was a good way to finish my career. More than my individual or team successes, I valued the camaraderie of my teammates, many of whom are still very close friends.
After graduating with a B.S. in industrial engineering, I started my career with the consulting division of Arthur Andersen in its San Francisco office. After two years at Arthur Andersen and realizing that I was not interested in a long-term consulting career, I applied for a job in the Stanford Athletic Department that I heard about from a friend who was working in the football office. The position was the assistant director of annual giving, and while I knew very little about fundraising, I thought it would be an interesting learning experience while I figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up. With some luck, I was hired for that job in 1988 and then enjoyed 11 years working in the athletic department, progressing through several development positions and eventually serving as associate athletic director for external relations.
In the early years, the focus of my job was raising money for athletic scholarships through gifts to the Buck/Cardinal Club. That was an incredibly gratifying experience and was where I learned how development worked in higher education, both within the athletic department, as well as how the athletic department's fundraising program was coordinated within the university's broader development environment.
In 1999, I succumbed to the lure of the dot-com boom in Silicon Valley and left the athletic department to join Fogdog Sports as director of business development and general manager of group and institutional sales. After Fogdog was acquired the following year, I worked for Commonfund Inworks, another start-up where I could leverage my professional background. Both organizations provided me with great work experience, but after a three-year period away from the Farm, I returned to Stanford in 2002 as the director of The Stanford Fund, and similar to my experience in the athletic department, I have enjoyed working in the university's Office of Development (OOD) in progressively more senior roles. For the past several years, I have served as a senior associate vice president, overseeing a number of development teams within OOD, including athletics.
Looking back on my career in athletics, I was most inspired by the dedication and commitment of a large group of volunteers who gave of their time, talent, and money to build the most successful athletic department in the country. Volunteer engagement is a key to the university's fundraising success and I was fortunate to experience that early in my career at Stanford. The history of volunteer support for Stanford Athletics dates back to the founding of the Buck Club in the early 1930's. In the late 1980's, we were raising $2 million a year and now the Buck/Cardinal Club is raising more than $9 million a year. A dedicated group of volunteers, well-supported by capable staff, has been instrumental in the Club's success.
Because of the success of our teams and beautiful facilities like Stanford Stadium, there is a misperception by many people that Stanford Athletics is overflowing in resources and does not need any philanthropic support. That statement is not true. Gifts to Stanford Athletics, from the $50 donation from a recently-graduated former student-athlete to the multi-million dollar commitment from an older alum, are vital to maintaining the success of Stanford Athletics. Donors to the Buck/Cardinal Club are enabling our coaches to provide scholarships for student-athletes and attract the best athletes and the brightest students to the Farm. It fuels a broad-based program that is the envy of our competitors and the pride of our alumni.
I recently made a difficult decision to leave Stanford to become the chief development officer for the United States Olympic Committee and president of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation (USOPF). Quite honestly, I never thought I'd leave Stanford and was expecting to retire after a very long and gratifying career. But this opportunity just hit me as an opportunity to leverage my experience at Stanford to help the USOC develop a culture of philanthropy and diversify its sources of revenue to fund Team USA. I pursued the Olympic dream from my teenage years through my early 20s and participated in the 1980 and 1984 U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials. Even though I did not ultimately make an Olympic team, the pursuit of that goal had a huge impact on shaping my character and providing opportunities that otherwise would not have been possible, so the mission of the USOC has a deep personal significance to me. The newly-created USOPF will also give me an opportunity to leverage my Stanford experience in building a foundation from the ground up—a challenge that motivates me greatly.
I will miss the daily interaction with my Stanford colleagues, but my love for Stanford will not be diminished. Even though I've spent most of my career on the Farm, the more important aspects of my relationship with Stanford are my affiliation as an alumnus, the parent of a current undergraduate student, and a fan of Stanford Athletics. Those roles aren't changing.

I think you're thinking of "innocence". Zed is kind of the ultimate victim. Now keeping one's innocence yet losing one's naivety, that's a trick and a half.

"It's time for a bath, baby ponies!" Mama Gusty called. But the babies were having too much fun rolling in the grass and jumping in the mud to stop. Truly heard Mama Gusty's call and knew exactly what to do. She filled the Waterfall with bubble bath until heart-shaped bubbles floated over to where the babies were playing. Each bubble gently dipped down around a baby pony and carried her over to the Waterfall. When all the ponies were in the pond, the bubbles flew high up to the sky. One bubble flew so high, it tickled Mr. Sun's nose! The babies splashed with delight. "This is so much fun," they shouted. Truly winked at Mama Gusty as she galloped off, popping soap bubbles along the way.

Take it from these leading ladies: A good—no great—sex life can keep you looking youthful, vibrant and sexy, well beyond your years. Read on for their tips on how to keep things hot
"I'm not averse to being tied up in silk scarves," the Desperate Housewives star admitted. "I like a man to take charge. There's something very sexy about being submissive."

Mendes sure knows how to keep her relationships interesting. At an event years ago, she told reporters she'd sex in all 50 states. "Maybe it was the clear air, or the quiet, or the endless sky. Whatever it was, it was really, really good."

Sex and the City's resident naughty girl credits sex as her no-fail cure for jet-lag. "Stay up as long as you can and have as much fun as you can, if you know what I mean, and then go to sleep."

After her guest performance in the risqué Vegas production, Peepshow, the former Spice Girl told the UK's Glamour magazine, "I love sex. It is very important. I don't need to take my whip home. I already have one there."
To what does this red hot actress attribute her killer bod? "I guess it's exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex — yes, sex, we need that as human beings," she told British Vogue. "It's healthy, it's natural, it's what we are here to do!"

The Hawthorne star recently spilled her hot sex secrets to Redbook. "Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex. Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Pull over on the side of the road... Just switch it up." No wonder she's made it 15 years with hubby Will Smith.
"We all want to have sex in a romantic way. But with a Latina, you're going to have more fun." the sassy Modern Family star told Esquire.
She's notoriously private about her relationship with Justin Timberlake, but when it comes to PDA the actress has amitted be being a very big fan. "I'll do it anywhere," she told Cosmopolitan magazine. "If I see a couple making out in public, I'm always like, 'Awww. Can I join?'"
"I like the feeling of being dominated," the Oscar winner has said about s-e-x. "It actually makes me feel safe as opposed to challenged."
"I definitely don't want to push it on anybody else. But we both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married," Carey said of her decision to abstain from sex before marriage with hubby Nick Cannon. "And it was, and it still is."

September 11, 2001. That is the only other time Saints have visited Brighton's makeshift Withdean Stadium.
On 9/11, Gordon Strachan was yet to be unveiled as the club's manager and Stuart Gray was in caretaker charge following Glenn Hoddle's departure.
But football was put in sharp perspective that day.
The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center will always overshadow a 3-0 Worthington Cup win for Saints which, for the record, came courtesy of a goal for James Beattie and Anders Svensson's first two for the club.
It was incredible that that game went ahead a few hours after the Twin Towers had been sent crashing down.
Some things are more important than football but in the same way that 9/11 overshadowed a comfortable cup win, Saints fans will remember their second trip to The Withdean, simply because it came at the end of a seminal week in the club's recent history.
The spat conducted via the press between Sir Clive Woodward and Leon Crouch was more juvenile than Jihad but the boardroom battle is now well under way and the football a virtual sideshow now that the club's Championship status is secure.
The events off the pitch in the last few days have been more newsworthy than most of Saints' performances on it, but at least this win against a poor Brighton side focused minds on football again.
And playing against a Seagulls side now destined for League One should at least put Saints' problems in some perspective.
On the eve of this game, Brighton's hopes of moving to a new 25,000 seater ground at nearby Falmer suffered yet another setback.
The only league club in Sussex will be playing at Withdean for a minimum of another two seasons. At least Saints can boast St Mary's and the prospect of a better campaign next year.
The crowd of 7,999 was Brighton's biggest since moving to Withdean in 1999 and was largely down to the introduction of new temporary stands, including an away end several yards behind one of the goals and the athletics track at Brighton's leafy, suburban home.
Saints took a following of around 200 who, if they had their binoculars with them, would have witnessed an excellent first half showing, that just lacked decisive finishing from their side.
The Withdean pitch was not conducive to good football. An uneven and heavily sanded surface meant that the quality of the wide players was likely to influence the outcome.
While Brighton started with a 4-3-3 formation, Saints handed a first start in three months to the fit- again Djamel Belmadi and the Algerian gave Joel Lynch, the Seagulls' teenage left-back, a torrid time, especially in the first half.
Saints could have been at least 3-0 up long before Ricardo Fuller hit his third goal in two games in the 37th minute.
Fuller had a tenth-minute shot saved but Belmadi put the rebound wide and then Fuller missed at the far post following an excellent cross from the Algerian.
Darren Powell put a free header over the bar and Henderson, who at 22 was the oldest player in Brighton's back five, unconvincingly punched clear following another Jim Brennan corner.
Grzegorz Rasiak should have done better with two headers, planting the first on to the roof of the net before nodding tamely into the arms of Henderson from close range.
Lundekvam, the only survivor from the Saints side that won at Withdean on 9/11, flicked a Belmadi corner just beyond the far post but will have to wait a little longer for his third Saints goal.
Thank goodness for the form of Fuller. After dispossessing right-back Adam El Abd, the Jamaican fired a 20-yard screamer over the bar but opened the scoring shortly afterwards, beating Henderson from ten yards after his initial effort had been saved.
Fuller evaded a Seagulls defender before firing home left-footed at the second attempt.
If you include his record while on loan at Ipswich recently, the Jamaican international has five goals in as many Championship appearances and is now Saints' leading scorer in 2005/06 with six.
Fuller's record at this level over the last four years with Preston and Saints is impressive. The 26-year-old now has 35 goals in 78 appearances in the Championship and was a cut above any other striker on display at The Withdean.
Colin Kazim-Richards, one of five teenagers in the Brighton side, had the home side's best two chances of the first half. He fired the first into the side netting and completely missed the second on the stroke of half-time, but was more of a threat after the break.
He forced an outstanding save from Kevin Miller, who moments earlier had blocked a close-range header from Lynch, when he broke down the right and fired towards the top corner from the edge of the area.
And on the hour Lynch put Kazim-Richards clean through, only for Miller to use all of his 17 years' experience in the professional game and smother the ball at the youngster's feet.
That was as good as it got for Brighton. The storm had been weathered and Richard Chaplow capped an excellent all-round display by coolly side-footing Saints' second into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
Crouch replies to Clive's outburst 'I'm determined to buy more shares' 'I'll make the changes fans want' Read the latest on the boardroom battle at St Mary's in tonight's Daily Echo.

World War II veterans are hopping flights to Washington, D.C., to see the memorial built in their honor, thanks to the efforts of Honor Flight Northwest Ohio.
The non-profit organization, formed in 2007, offers a free flight and accommodations for the one day trip, which includes bus service to the memorial, meals and beverages.
So far, the organization has flown over 462 veterans on 17 flights to see the memorial in the nation's capital.
It's fitting that Josephine Fassett's portrait greets students, staff and visitors to the office at the Oregon middle school that bears her name, though few people – if any – call it "Josephine" Fassett Middle School these days. For nearly a half-century, Miss Fassett dedicated herself to the development of young minds, helping to guide the Oregon school system from the days of one-room schoolhouses to modern facilities.
Born on St. Patrick's Day in 1884, she was 77 years old when the new Fassett Junior High was dedicated at a ceremony held Oct. 8, 1961.
She was on hand to give remarks to the crowd before Board of Education President George Ackerman formally accepted the presentation of the building from general contractor Richard Knowlton and Orville Bauer, representing the architectural firm that designed the school.
The Village of Elmore is hosting a green energy summit next month to offer the public, business community, and elected officials an opportunity to learn more about the many products and services that save energy and are easier on the environment.
The summit is scheduled for April 15, said Mayor Lowell Krumnow, who's organizing the event in the hope it will draw local businesses that manufacture or offer green energy, bio-friendly, and energy-efficient products and services.
American Municipal Power, a nonprofit corporation that owns and operates electric facilities that provide generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power to its members, is also a sponsor of the summit.
Representatives of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission of Ohio will be in Lake Township Wednesday to determine if a Hanley Road rail crossing meets criteria for installing safety devices such as gates and lights.
Richard Welling, a township trustee, said he plans to meet with the commission representatives at 10:30 a.m. at the crossing, which currently is only marked by cross buck signs.
The crossing, which is operated by CSX Corp., is located between Cummings and Luckey roads.
Welling said the crossing is one of the first in the township to be refurbished by having the "hump" lowered, making it more accessible to farm machinery and other vehicles.
Twelve area high schools recently put their knowledge of tractors to the test during competition in the 18th annual FFA District I Agricultural and Industrial Diagnostics Contest at Owens Community College.
Presented by the College's Transportation Technologies, the contest involved high school teams, consisting of two students, completing a written examination and five practical skill events to determine their expertise of tractors. As part of the practical skills competition, teams were required to locate, identify and repair a malfunction on a specified tractor donated for the event.

This may not come as much of a surprise, but Kid Rock isn't exactly the biggest fan of following the rules.
So when it came time to release the third single off his Rock N Roll Jesus album, he decided to forego conventional wisdom, ignoring the most popular singles medium out there — a little thing called "digital" — and opting instead to simply push the tune to radio stations. And just why did he choose to do this? Well, because he's Kid Rock, that's why.
"I've always had a problem with people telling me, 'Oh, you have to do this because you have to do it,' " laughed Rock, who was just announced as a performer at this year's VMAs . "So when everyone was telling me that I had to release my single on iTunes because they own the market and that's just what you've gotta do these days, I decided that I wasn't going to do it. My whole career, I've done that. Whenever everyone's headed in the same direction, I turn around and run the other way."
Essentially, by saying no to iTunes, Rock made it impossible for fans to download "All Summer Long." He was instead betting on the fact that most people would be willing to shell out $15 for a copy of his album in order to own the song. It was a risky move, but in the end, it paid off. Jesus, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart back in October but had all but disappeared from the top 200, rocketed back into the top 10, and has sold more than 1.3 million copies so far. And "All Summer Long" continues to be a beast on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, thanks mainly to its near-constant radio play. And while most artists would spend every waking minute trumpeting successes like these, Rock is doing quite the opposite.
"This whole thing wasn't some attempt to change the way the industry works or some sh– like that. It was basically me knowing I had a good song, one that people would love when they heard it," he explained. "I mean, people say iTunes is popular because it's convenient, but so is McDonald's — that don't mean people aren't still making reservations to go eat at fancy restaurants too.
"I knew the track was solid — it's got two of the best songs of all time mashed up together [Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama' and Warren Zevon's 'Werewolves of London'], it's got great melodies, so really, my work was done," he continued. "I knew people would hear it and know I wrote it. They'd know it was real, and there'd be that connection. And that's what's missing in music today. I think people don't believe half the sh– they hear some rapper or some pop girl singing about … but with me, they do. And that's why people have reacted the way they have to the song."
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the song is a totally killer summer anthem — a nostalgic celebration of sun-drenched days and beery evenings that just so happens to sound great on sun-drenched days and beery evenings — or that Rock is promoting the tune the old-fashioned way; by touring the bejeezus out of it alongside one of its progenitors, the almighty Skynyrd. It's an old-school formula for success — one that the notably old-school Rock finds remarkably refreshing, given the times in which we live.
"I think today everyone's worried about looking cool, about over-thinking everything, about all this bullsh–. If Jesus Christ were to come back tomorrow and forgive our sins, I feel like the first blogger who wrote about it would say something like, 'Oh, Jesus Christ is a douche bag,' " he laughed. "I just think that's a waste of time, and I think a lot of other people do too. I just want to have fun, enjoy life and have a good time. And I think there's a lot of people out there who are just like me."
And while he's sticking with that line of reasoning, if prodded, Rock will finally admit to enjoying the success of "Summer," if only because it stands as one giant middle finger to an industry that counted him out and called him crazy. And why does he feel this way? Because he's Kid Rock, that's why.
"I keep saying I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. I just knew I had a great song that flew in the face of everything you hear on the radio or in pop music. Basically, all pop music is now just bad rap songs, or like, Mariah Carey or girl pop, so this song is really a breath of fresh air," he said. "People wanted to tell me how to release it, or that I was making a huge mistake by choosing to ignore iTunes and all that, but I've always known I can say 'F— you' to the best of 'em, and I have done just that, many times before. And I'm sure I'll do it many times again."

About The Life is Wild Show
Katie Clarke (Leah Pipes) may never forgive her veterinarian father, Danny (Brett Cullen), for dragging their entire blended family out of New York City to spend a year living in a broken-down lodge called The Blue Antelope in a game reserve deep inside South Africa. Everyone in the family, including Katie's 11-year-old brother Chase (K'sun Ray), Danny's second wife Jo (Judith Hoag), her rebellious teenage son Jesse (Andrew St. John, "General Hospital") and 7-year-old daughter, Mia (Mary Matilyn Mouser), is sure Danny has lost his mind. But Danny's reasons go beyond his desire to keep his troubled family together while making a difference in the lives of the people and animals of South Africa: his deceased first wife Claire grew up at The Blue Antelope and it's still home to her reclusive father Art (David Butler). After just a few days in South Africa, the family has already encountered an injured lioness, a lost cub, and a gentle giraffe. They've also met a few locals, including a handsome young Brit, Oliver Banks (Calvin Goldspink) and his twin sister Emily (Tiffany Mulheron), whose father Colin Banks (Jeremy Sheffield), runs a safari business for wealthy tourists, and Tumelo (Atandwa Kani), a teen who dreams of becoming a veterinarian. While they are definitely outsiders, Katie and the rest of the family are nevertheless beginning to love the breathtaking vistas of the bush country and the vibrant culture enveloping them. A year in this strange but beautiful place might not be so bad after all.

A second Welsh Government Minister in as many days has refused to endorse plans by Cardiff Council to build a new HQ on a highly sought-after section of land in Callaghan Square, in the heart of the Welsh Government's embryonic Enterprise Zone.
When I asked if she would be disappointed if jobs were simply moved by Cardiff Council rather than created by new investors, Business Minister Edwina Hart told the Assembly that Enterprise Zones are for: "…the creation of new jobs and opportunities. I don't think I can make myself any clearer than that."
We now have two Welsh Government Ministers refusing to endorse one of the biggest and most costly plans ever drawn up by a local authority in Wales. It is clear that negotiations between the Welsh Government and the new Cardiff Council have broken down just six months after they were elected to office.
The Welsh Government must now urgently step in and prevent Cardiff Council from spending hundreds of millions of pounds on a new and unnecessary HQ in the city centre and simply moving hundreds of jobs from one end of Lloyd George Avenue to the other. This is not what the land was intended for and is not what Enterprise Zones status was awarded for. We could soon be approaching a situation where firms and investors choose to ignore Cardiff due to the Council's actions.

Microsoft Hires Ex-Regulator in Health Push
You probably wouldn't put Microsoft on the list of companies in the market to hire former FDA officials, but the software giant snagged a top medical-device regulator today.
Donna-Bea Tillman, head of the office of device approvals, says her jump to Microsoft isn't as unusual as it may seem. She told colleagues in a memo she has long had "a love for all things computer."
Tillman elaborated in an interview with the Health Blog, saying she moonlighted writing software programs for engineering and biomedical experiments when she was in graduate school at Johns Hopkins doing biomedical engineering. "This is a match made in heaven," she said of her new job.
Microsoft, Google and other technology companies are trying to get in on the medical information-technology bonanza, which was given a boost with $20 billion in last year's economic stimulus package. Microsoft is also trying to get its Washington health group a higher profile.
IT can play a big part in comparative effectiveness research for medical treatments, Tillman said, adding, "If you want to buy a car, you can get information comparing everything in Consumer Reports, but I can't get that if I get a disease."

Meet Your Super Bowl Contenders
As the Broncos and Seahawks Descend on the Greater New York Area, a Guide to the Players You Need to Know
After a lengthy buildup, the festivities surrounding the first outdoor, cold-weather Super Bowl finally began Sunday. The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks landed in subfreezing temperatures, arrived at their respective team hotels in Jersey City, N.J., and prepared for a Super Bowl week unlike any other.
To this point, much of the attention has centered on the Super Bowl's unusual location, logistical challenges and the threat of inclement weather. But come Sunday night, there (presumably) will be a football game at MetLife Stadium.
And it could be an exciting game at that, pitting Denver quarterback Peyton Manning and the NFL's best offense against Seattle defensive back Richard Sherman and the league's stingiest defense. For just the second time in the past 20 seasons, both No. 1 seeds reached the Super Bowl.
Granted, the Seahawks and Broncos don't typically receive much attention in the Greater New York region. In fact, no team from outside the Eastern or Central time zone has won the Super Bowl since the 1998 Broncos.
That will change Sunday, no matter who wins Super Bowl XLVIII. So with that in mind, here is a look at some of the players you ought to know going in.
