About the Book
Dr. Lenny Faulkner, a single, African American doctor is living a charmed life in Atlanta; compared to the poor childhood she experienced growing up in Madoosa County, a small southeast section of Georgia that reeks of the local box manufacturing plant. Lenny is dedicated to the care and treatment of her female patients. Lenny has been successful in achieving all her goals except one: She yearns to marry her live-in love Ralph and start a family.
In fact, the alarm on Lenny's biological clock is ringing loud and clear---she's turning thirty-five, but Ralph, doesn't hear it. Instead of proposing, he abruptly ends their nine-year relationship, empties their joint bank account and runs off with another woman. Adding to Lenny's misery, she learns that her mother is dying of cancer, with only a few months to live.
Feeling utterly defeated, she discovers her fifth grade diary, which contains a list of rules she had created to live by. Reading them after so many years, Lenny realizes that she has somehow buried the intensity she demonstrated in her youth that helped her get out of Madoosa County.
The diary becomes the impetus Lenny needs to start taking complete charge of her life again. She discovers that Ralph leaving isn't such a loss and that her newfound strength has opened the door to new possibilities, including love.

I think that I will be re-born when I die. The next form will be based on the good and the bad deeds which I have done in the previous life.
Good deeds = Possibly re-born as a human being.
Bad deeds = Re-born as a fly (example), only to be crushed again and again.
Thats what I think anyway. Its the circle of life.

In 1808 John Ford moved from South Carolina to settle on the Pearl River in what would be Jackson, Mississippi. Four of Ford's sons would become Methodist preachers. His son, Thomas Ford, organized a Methodist society in Jackson in 1836 and built the first Methodist church in the city. The State Legislature had set aside a lot in town designated for religious purposes and divided the lot into four squares. In 1838 one of these lots was purchased for $50 and the First Methodist Church was erected on this site. Although most early records were lost in the Civil War, those remaining show that the first to join the church were "a gentleman and his wife Finucane; a noted slave character served as janitor for many years -'Uncle Jeff'." Thomas Ford served as first pastor.
The first church was constructed facing south, toward Smith Park. By the mid-1850's the black membership had outgrown the gallery which had been provided for them and a brick church was built next door for them, constituting the first Methodist church in the city built for blacks. A second main church building was constructed on the same site during the 1880's under the second pastoral term of Charles Betts Galloway. By 1896 the church purchased the neighboring Baptist church property which housed the church while a third building was built. The present church was constructed beginning in 1913-15 under pastor A.F. Smith and dedicated to the memory of Bishop Charles Betts Galloway in 1917. Major Reuben W. Millsaps, devoted friend and co-founder of Millsaps College, was the largest contributor to this building. In 1949 the Messina Culley home was purchased for the Galloway parsonage and in 1952 an education building was added. In the racially turbulent 1960's Galloway lost some members who were opposed to the United Methodist approval of integration and independent churches were begun in the area. Renewed growth came in the 1970's and the building was renovated in 1973. In 1988 Rev. Clay F. Lee became the fourth Galloway pastor to be selected for the episcopacy. Other Bishops associated with the church were Galloway, DuBoise, and Decell.

Western Michigan University is accepting letters of interest from private firms interested in revitalizing the school's historic East Campus.
A campus-community task force for two years has been looking into ways to revitalize the 35-acre tract and five buildings that were built in the early 20th century, according to a statement from WMU.
"The eventual use of these buildings does not have to be university-related, but it cannot run counter to the mission of WMU," Bob Miller, associate vice president for community outreach and task force co-chair, said in the statement. "The architectural integrity of any building selected for redevelopment must be preserved, but other than that, we're wide open to any economically viable idea."
The university will accept proposals for any of the buildings separately or the East Campus as a whole, but potential developers need to be aware of the magnitude of the total redevelopment effort, Miller and task force co-chair David Dakin, director of campus planning, noted.
Four nearly vacant, historic buildings — East Hall, West Hall, North Hall and the Speech and Hearing Building — are part of East Campus and total more than 225,000 square feet. Residence facility Vandercook Hall could also be made available for development.
The university would retain ownership of the land, but ownership of the buildings can be transferred to allow developers to take advantage of tax incentives and development tools, including financing options, grants for energy-efficient development and environmental remediation, and historic-building preservation incentives.
"All of these tools add up to the possibility for development at a substantial savings to the developer," Dakin said in the statement. "In addition, we know our partners in the city of Kalamazoo are supportive and ready to work with developers on issues related to zoning and permitting."
For more information, to request a copy of the request for proposal, to submit a letter of interest or to pose questions in writing, contact Don Penskar, WMU director of logistical services.
Firms can request additional details on the area's potential and tour the site before submitting a proposal for redevelopment. Written questions and letters of interest must be submitted by Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. to be included in the selection process.
Qualified potential developers that have submitted letters of interest to tour and examine the site will have the opportunity during a pre-proposal conference on Jan. 20. A second round of written questions will be accepted through Feb. 4.
Proposals for development are due by Feb. 25 at 5 p.m.

ST. LOUIS -- 'The Employee Free Choice Act is exactly what it says. A free choice for workers,' Ben Harmon, financial secretary for the greater St. Louis United Auto Workers union CAP Council, told the World.
Harmon, along with around 30 other trade union activists, was picketing a $1,000-a-plate Missouri Chamber of Commerce dinner for Karl Rove, a vocal opponent of workers' rights, on July 15 here.
Harmon, who used to work at the Chrysler North Assembly Plant in Fenton, Mo., has seen first-hand the 'intimidation, harassment and manipulation' workers have to go through when they try to form a union. He says 'the Employee Free Choice Act would bring balance' and help unions 'build density.'
'When union loose density, workers loose wages and benefits,' Harmon added. 'When unions grow, workers win.'
Margaret Phillips agrees. She told the World, 'Unions help put money back in workers' pockets. In this economy, we need people spending money. Unions aren't only just, they're good for the economy.'
According to the Economic Policy Institute, on average, union members make about $10 more per hour than their non-union counterparts. They also receive better benefits, health care and pensions, longer vacations, and dignity and respect on the job, something that can't be quantified in wages.
'Thousands of workers are fired every year for trying to form a union,' Jason Fedarow told the World. Fedarow, who works for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Missouri State Council, said, 'Karl Rove and William 'Bucky' Bush are up there spreading lies about workers and unions.'
He added, 'Unions play a role not only in the workplace, but also in other areas of struggle. If the union movement is stronger, the whole progressive movement benefits. That's the real reason they oppose the Employee Free Choice Act so much.'
The Missouri Chamber of Commerce, along with other business associations, has been pushing the so-called 'Save Our Secret Ballots' (SOS) initiative.
On the legislative end, SOS went down in defeat as the Missouri legislature adjourned May 15. By refusing to take up the measure, House Joint Resolution 37, the legislature sent a clear message to the Chamber of Commerce.
However, the SOS ballot initiative is moving ahead, as paid canvassers are attempting to collect enough signatures to get it on the ballot in November.
According to Keith Tubbs, St. Louis regional organizer for the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition, 'SOS would allow the status quo to continue. The Employee Free Choice Act would allow the pendulum to swing towards workers' rights.'
Tubbs added, 'Bush administration NLRB appointees found that over 30 percent of workers in workplaces trying to organize faced intimidation, harassment and threats. Others were unjustly fired. And this is with Bush appointees. Imagine how many workers were actually intimidated, harassed or fired.'
Congress is expected to vote on the Employee Free Choice Act this fall.
Missouri Jobs with Justice, SEIU and Pro-Vote organized the July 15 protest.

During Friday night's performance by River North Dance Chicago in the University at Buffalo's Center for the Arts, Buffalo native and UB grad Jessica Wolfrum will step out onto the stage alone, the train of her blood-red dress trailing several feet behind her.
She'll perform the new solo piece "Renatus" – Latin for "rebirth" – set to an aria from Puccini's "Tosca" and devised by the Berlin-born choreographer Nejla Yatkin. The piece, which emerged from a rehearsal process that Wolfrum said resembled a therapy session more than typical workshops, touches on universal themes like womanhood and dealing with past baggage. But it also draws on Wolfrum's history as a dancer who has pursued her career with uncommon drive from the time she was barely a toddler.
Wolfrum's life in dance began at 3, when her parents enrolled her in a movement class. By age 5, she was already hard at work on her ballet, tap and jazz techniques alongside dancers twice her age. After that, it was off to David DeMarie Dance Studios in Clarence, the Royal Academy of Ballet in Amherst and the University at Buffalo.
Through a combination of hard work and sheer luck, Wolfrum arranged to audition for the Chicago-based River North company late in her senior year of college. River North hired her before she graduated, and she's been happily dancing for the popular national touring company for the past 11 years.
A life spent in pursuit of anything other than dance was never an option, Wolfrum said in a phone interview from Chicago. A serious knee injury during her sophomore year in college only strengthened her determination to make a career out of dancing. "I said, 'I have to dance professionally, I cannot have this taken away from me,' " she recalled.
At UB, Wolfrum took advantage of the school's multidisciplinary dance program, honing her technique in ballet, jazz, tap and contemporary dance. That was perfect for River North, a company known for an eclectic style that mixes traditional ballet with an ever-evolving range of contemporary styles.
"I feel like River North was a perfect fit with how I've been trained since I was a little girl. I haven't been just trained in ballet, just trained in modern or just trained in tap or jazz. I studied and really tried to be an eclectic, varied dancer," she said. She added that River North's aesthetic, because it mixes so many influences and is constantly shifting, is difficult to pin down.
"There is a definite emotion that I think sets River North apart from a lot of companies," she said. "We cater to emotions and feelings and we really break down that fourth wall. So we want the audience to feel like they are a member of that stage with us, rather than you just watching a TV show."
While in town, Wolfrum and the other dancers in River North have been teaching workshops in local schools including UB. The company also performed, as part of the CFA's award-winning Arts in Healthcare program, in Roswell Park Cancer Institute's atrium and at Women & Children's Hospital.
For Wolfrum, who dances alongside fellow UB grad Melanie Manale-Hortin in the company, the opportunity to perform in her hometown is a rare thrill. The fact that she's performing a new solo piece only adds to her excitement.
"After performances, sometimes we interact with the audience, and it's really truly touching and humbling that I can allow people to feel a certain way."

Haitian immigrants hope the temporary protected status program will help them send a badly needed infusion of U.S. dollars to struggling family members in Haiti.
Immigrant rights groups, community centers and churches in Haitian communities across the U.S. have been fielding inquiries about the program, helping people with paperwork and spreading the word.
Immigration officials say only those who were in the U.S. on the day of the earthquake or before it struck, and who meet additional criteria, are eligible to apply for the 18-month reprieve.
They say as many as 200,000 Haitians might apply.

Pregnancy - vaginal bleeding; Maternal blood loss
Home Care
Avoid sexual intercourse until you know the cause of the bleeding. Drink only fluids if the bleeding and cramping are severe.
If a miscarriage occurs, expect a small amount of vaginal bleeding for up to 10 days after. Avoid using tampons for bleeding during pregnancy and for 2 to 4 weeks after miscarriage.
Medication is usually not necessary -- don't take any medication without talking to your doctor.
Call your health care provider if
Contact your health care provider if:
- There is a chance of miscarriage.
- You have any vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. Treat this as a potential emergency.
- You have vaginal bleeding and have placenta previa (get to the hospital right away).
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your health care provider will get a medical history and will perform a
The doctor may ask you the following questions:
- Time pattern
- Have you had bleeding before during this pregnancy?

I've occasionally wanted to create tiny windows
(for example I originally made bargraph less tall)
and it's a little annoying that rio's requirements for
text windows applies to windows that won't be
managed by rio.
The right solution is to fix libframe to gracefully handle
the case where the window has no room for text.

It's nice that rio shrinks the subwindows when you
resize. It just needs to be able to handle the consequences.

Ford bets big on aluminum
Detroit — Ford Motor Co. could incorporate more aluminum into its sport utility vehicles and other models in the future, executives said on Monday, following the debut of the lightweight version of Ford's popular F-150 pickup truck.
The body of the revamped F-150 is 95% military-grade aluminum alloy — the same kind used in Humvees — and weighs up to 700 pounds less than the current truck. Using aluminum rather than steel is a key part of Ford's strategy to cut 250 to 750 pounds from each model in its lineup.
"Obviously this is our first shot (at using aluminum in) a big-volume vehicle and there's absolutely no reason why we couldn't think about taking it elsewhere," Executive Chairman Bill Ford told reporters at the Detroit auto show.
"It is a lightweight, high-strength material and 700 pounds out of a vehicle like this — that's a big deal," he added.
Ford's gamble that aluminum will give the company a greater edge over rivals stands in contrast to the approach of General Motors Co., which launched its latest trucks last year, and which this week unveiled its Canyon midsize truck.
"If anybody says the certainty of the next 10 years is that formula, I would say, 'Show me data-wise,'" Mark Reuss, GM's incoming product development chief, said of Ford's bet on the lightweight metal.
Ford formally kicked off its F-150 project in 2010 around the same time the company began development on its new Fusion midsize sedan and revamping its strategy in Asia.
Consumer tastes and more stringent U.S. fuel economy regulations in the future — known as corporate average fuel economy standards — spurred the No. 2 U.S. automaker to rethink the F-150, the top-selling vehicle in the United States.
"We made a strategic decision to change the game as the leader," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford's head of North and South American operations. "We felt that with our volume and our scale we could work with aluminum providers to launch the F-150."
The redesign makes the new F-150 "CAFE-positive" for the first time, meaning the truck will help Ford meet those standards instead of lowering the average gasoline mileage of its lineup, Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields said.
At Monday's news conference, Ford also emphasized that the lightweight metal would be tougher than steel and more resistant to dents than today's model. Hinrichs said models may be made with the alloy where it makes the most sense.
"You have to look at where you get the most attribute benefits for that weight and where do customers pay for that technology. And where fuel economy can make a big difference in the marketplace."
As part of its testing, the truck towed a heavy trailer across the United States in both desert and high-altitude terrains and in temperatures ranging from 20 degrees below Fahrenheit to 120 degrees above.
The new truck reflects how Ford, under Chief Executive Alan Mulally who came on board in 2006, has been willing to take bolder, educated risks, Deloitte consultant Joe Vitale said.
The F-150's design has allowed Ford to "bridge the gap" between heavy truck users and casual buyers. "You can see it in the parking lot of a Neiman Marcus," he said.
Production of the new F-150 would begin in the fourth quarter in Dearborn, Mich., and in early 2015 in Kansas City, Mo. The truck will be in U.S. showrooms by the end of 2014.

COLUMBIA - Call it the Big Sell before the Big Fight. Republican Gov. Nikki Haley's administration, opposed to an expansion of the state's Medicaid program, has begun meeting with state lawmakers and other players in the debate over the expansion.
Making the case
S.C. Medicaid Director Tony Keck is making the Haley administration's case to reject the Medicaid expansion.The main points of Keck's argument include:Even without the expansion, the state's Medicaid budget will grow tremendously from inflation and new residents being added to the program under the terms of the Affordable Care Act. Of the $187 million in new general fund revenue the S.C. Board Economic Advisers is preliminary estimating for the fiscal year that starts July 1, the S.C. Department of Health and Human Services is estimating $160 million of it will be spent on Medicaid. If the state approves the expansion, there's only so much money in the budget and it could force the Legislature to make deep cuts to education spending down the line to keep up with Medicaid costs.Even without accepting the Medicaid expansion, the S.C. Department of Health and Human Services estimates the state's uninsured rate, 20 percent, will be cut in half in three years. The agency projects at least 440,000 South Carolinians will get new Medicaid or private coverage. A huge portion of current Medicaid spending is waste. The state can do a better job cutting down on waste by tailoring its own approach than implementing a federally-run expansion. The expansion would cause hospitals to lose focus on becoming more efficient and instead just expand.
The goal? Win allies now and when the Legislature returns in January, avoid a repeat of the last time the state had to decide whether to accept a huge sum of federal money.
In 2009, former GOP Gov. Mark Sanford unsuccessfully sought to reject $700 million in federal stimulus funding, making essentially the same argument Haley's administration is embracing now: that the cash will hurt the state in the long run.
The administration argues the state will not have the money to support the expansion, which would provide health insurance to an estimated 350,000 to more than 600,000 needy South Carolinians.
In addition, administration officials say the expansion won't help accomplish the goal of providing the most health care for the least cost. The Legislature ultimately will decide whether to move forward with the expansion or not, just as it did with the stimulus money.
The state took the stimulus cash after the Republican-controlled Legislature sought to overrule Sanford, who rejected lawmakers' mandate but was eventually sued and lost.
"In terms of the legality of it, we've seen how that plays out," said Tim Pearson, Haley's chief of staff. "The question is are the political realities different and where are the legislative leaders? I think that the framework is extremely similar. The question is whether or not it plays out the same way."
The federal pot is much bigger this time around. South Carolina stands to receive more than $13 billion with an estimated $1.1 billion match by the state for the first six years of the expansion. The federal government would fully fund the expansion, part of the Affordable Care Act, for the first three years from 2014 to 2016. States would contribute a maximum of 10 percent of the cost by 2020. Few states receive more assistance from the federal government on Medicaid payments as South Carolina, and nearly 20 percent of the state's residents lack health insurance.
The success that Haley's office, particularly her Medicaid Director Tony Keck, has in wooing GOP lawmakers and medical industry interests could go far in determining how the fight over the expansion plays out next year. The vast majority of Statehouse Democrats are widely expected to end up supporting the expansion.
The administration is sure to face fierce opposition. Several Democrats, advocates for the poor and groups such as the United Way Association of South Carolina say the state should follow through with the expansion. And frustration from expansion supporters is likely to build from a simmer to a boil in the more than three months before the Legislature can begin debate on the issue.
"This is not an academic exercise, this is real peoples' lives," said Sue Berkowitz, director of the Appleseed Legal Justice Center. "People who have been uninsured have been waiting decades."
In recent weeks, Keck has met with several lawmakers from both parties, including members of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees. House Republican Caucus members discussed a presentation on the expansion created by Keck during a meeting in Charleston earlier this month.
Keck also has had frequent talks with the S.C. Hospital Association, whose members stand to gain tremendous economic benefit from an expansion of Medicaid.
The group did not respond to a request for comment, but Keck said the association supports taking all of the expansion cash.
Democrats who have met with Keck recently disagree with the Haley administration's assessment of the expansion. "It's time for the grandstanding to stop," said Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, D-Orangeburg. She said the state will lose out on the economic benefits of the expansion, and will pay for it one way or the other through the state's matching portion or residents' tax dollars. House Minority Leader Harry Ott also supports the expansion after meeting with Keck.
The leading Republicans in the House and Senate, both of whom voted to accept the stimulus money three years ago, said they oppose the Medicaid expansion.
Senate President Pro Tem John Courson, R-Columbia, said he's very concerned about how the expansion could force cuts to education spending. In a statement, House Speaker Bobby Harrell of Charleston described the expansion as part of a tax increase associated with President Obama's health care law. He said it's up to states to be fiscally responsible by having the courage to say "no" to the law.
Still, there is skepticism that legislators ultimately will reject the expansion.
Sanford said the expansion of Medicaid is unsustainable and wished Haley "Godspeed" in her efforts to stop it.
But "At least in my experiences on this front, money wins out over the principle of limited government," he said. Scott Huffmon, a political scientist and pollster at Winthrop University, said lawmakers will be put in a tough spot. "The legislators are simply going to have a hard time saying we can't afford this dime on a dollar payout even if we don' have the money right now," he said.

Uncertainty is inevitable, but effective enterprise risk management recognizes and acknowledges the threats associated with that uncertainty. The audit committee plays a crucial role in assessing and managing enterprise-wide risk of an organization by overseeing management's focus on identifying, evaluating and responding to risks that face the entity. It requires the recognition of ever-changing uncertainty and the importance of deploying programs and tools to assess the risk and opportunities that such uncertainty creates.
Completion of an enterprise risk assessment enables management to determine whether or not the entity's risk appetite and strategic objectives are aligned. More impactful are the monitoring activities, controls and indicators to mitigate and monitor unfavorable risks that management implements, beginning with an effective enterprise-wide risk assessment. But each organization is unique, so the risks faced and the associated impact will vary from company to company.
The Weaver Risk Insights document Managing Uncertainty discusses enterprise risk management further:
- Frameworks for assessing enterprise risk
- The audit committee's oversight role in risk assessment
- The ongoing process of enterprise risk assessment
For a discussion specific to your organization, please contact Alyssa Martin or Jody Allred, partners in risk advisory services.

Frau Farage
It's only a matter of time before the fashion police comes for Frau Farage who has until this weekend kept her silence. That she has not been paraded around the country in a series of summer "shift" dresses in lurid brights is surely a good thing. That she has opted to wear "non-statement" clothes (in some quarters known as "what people wear every day" — if an army camouflage skirt with tiered frills is your idea of every day) is another bonus.
Of course, this could all be a ruse. Like her husband's dated haircut, perhaps her clothes are

Cabrini and Ursuline both got off to a slow start in Monday's opening matchup of the Cabrini Summer League but Rakell Spencer and Kyla Williams combined for 14 points in the second half alone as the Crescents turned a five-point lead at halftime into a 39-27 victory.
"We just have a tendency to start off slow so I had to start hollering," Cabrini Coach Nancy Walsh said. "I've been preaching to my kids all the time that it's not about who we're playing it's about us and our intensity...but I'm (subbing) people in and out so I have to cut them a little bit of slack as well."
Walsh, as most coaches do, experiments with different lineups in summer league and also had a freshman-to-be, Raven Patin, starting at point guard. Ursuline held a 10-7 lead with less than four minutes to play in the first half but a long two-pointer from Tia Carter and a three-point play by Spencer gave Cabrini a 12-10 lead with two minutes left in the half.
The Crescents would extend their lead to 16-11 by halftime but Ursuline's freshman-to-be Kourtney Weber put in 12 points in the second half to keep the Lions in the game. After a made basket by Spencer on a fast break, Weber cut Cabrini's lead back down to 25-18 on a drive and layup of her own with 12:40 remaining in the game.
But the Lions couldn't close the gap any further as Kelsey Pinera nailed a 3-pointer on the other end pushing the Crescents' lead to double digits as they pulled away down the stretch. Spencer and Williams led Cabrini in scoring with 15 and nine points, respectively while freshman-to-be Patin added five.
The Crescents open the final day of action in the Cabrini Summer League Wednesday at 5 p.m. against Karr while Ursuline follows against Mount Carmel at 6 p.m.
"It's been a good summer league, I'm really pleased with all the teams," said Walsh, who organized the league. "There are top five programs in the state that are in our summer league and I'm super happy with the turnout of the games."

The Firm-Level Credit Multiplier

January 20, 2012
Journal of Financial Intermediation, Forthcoming
EFA 2008 Athens Meetings Paper
We study the effect of asset tangibility on corporate financing and investment decisions. Financially constrained firms benefit the most from investing in tangible assets because those assets help relax constraints, allowing for further investment. Using a dynamic model, we characterize this effect - which we call firm-level credit multiplier - and show how asset tangibility increases the sensitivity of investment to Tobin's Q for financially constrained firms. Examining a large sample of manufacturers over the 1971–2005 period as well as simulated data, we find support for our theory's tangibility–investment channel. We further verify that our findings are driven by firms' debt issuance activities. Consistent with our empirical identification strategy, the firm-level credit multiplier is absent from samples of financially unconstrained firms and samples of financially constrained firms with low spare debt capacity.

For Martha Larkins the straw that broke the camel's back was receiving a tax bill so high she thought she missed a payment.
For Jayson Berg it was five years of pitching environmentally-friendly ideas and grant opportunities to the City Council and getting no takers.
Like the other roughly 50 volunteers who have banded together in an effort to recall Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy and members of the City Council, Larkins and Berg had never met, but are now unified by a common goal: changing the leadership at City Hall.
The group is circulating petitions to recall Healy and City Council President Peter Brennan, a feat that will take the signatures of at least 30,067 registered voters -- 25 percent of voters in the city -- to force an election to remove the men from office. The signatures must be lodged with the City Clerk by mid-February to force a special election next year.
"What we're trying to do is very, very hard, but all along the way we're letting them know we're watching them and we're letting others know what the issues are," Larkins said.
In a statement Healy said members of the recall group are simply "wrong" if they believe city officials aren't concerned about the tax hikes.
"This year alone, state cuts and seizures of Jersey City funds have cost our city $70 million — $28 million in direct state aid, $30 million for our schools, and $12 million was seized from our (Urban Enterprise Zone) fund, the largest and most successful UEZ in the state," Healy said.
"We currently have a plan before the City Council to merge agencies, we've drastically cut departmental budgets, have implemented 24 furlough days and one round of layoffs, with additional layofs planned," Healy added.
Brennan declined to comment.
The recall movement coalesced during anti-tax hike rallies at City Hall in January organized by residents Esther Wintner and John Lynch.
Now, months later, the group, which includes residents from all parts of the city, hopes that if it can't remove the politicians from office, it can at least put them on notice that taxpayers aren't willing to be a bottomless ATM.
"We are now a strong growing diverse group of Jersey City citizens and yes we are watching, every step they take, every move them make, the Jersey City residents are watching them," said Lynch, a Heights resident who works in marketing.
Wintner, who works in the financial industry and lives on the West Side, said her issues go beyond large tax increases for residents while developers receive tax breaks. She is also concerned, she said, about crime, giving benefits to part-time members of city boards, cars for City Council members and bonding to pay for things she says the city can't afford.
She knows sweeping change doesn't happen overnight.
"No one is going to come in and tear it all down in one fell swoop, but we're shaking the ground," she said.
Riaz Wahid, a member of the recall group who works with the homeless, joined the movement because, he said, the city is ignoring the homeless population.
RJ Harper, a graphic designer, who lives near a chromium contaminated site feels it took too long to get the responsible parties to remediate the land and doesn't believe the terms of the cleanup are tough enough.
"If you don't stand for something, you fall for everything," said Berg, a retired school teacher and Greenville resident.

Cellphone overage charges
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Pre-paid and post-paid plans[edit]
The billing plans for mobile phones can be categorized as either a pre-paid plan or a post-paid plan.
In a pre-paid plan, the cell phone user pays for the minutes before using them. This kind of plan is popular in many Asian, South American, and some European countries.
Post-paid plans and Overage charges[edit]
In post-paid plans, the cell phone user pays at the end of the month for the minutes used during that month. Post-paid plans are common in North America and are catching up in other countries. The cell phone providers (that is, the wireless carriers) typically charge a monthly fee for the post-paid plans. In lieu of the monthly fees, the cell users get a monthly quota of minutes. When a user goes over the minutes allowed under the particular post-paid cell phone plan, they are charged separately for the extra minutes. In North America, this fee for the extra minutes is called overage fees or overage charges.
For example, suppose that a mobile phone user signs up for a post-paid cell phone plan that costs $40 per month and is allowed a quota of 700 minutes under that plan. If this user were to end up using 750 minutes in a month, then they would be charged an overage fee for the extra 50 minutes.
Overage charges in Germany[edit]
As of 2015, German most post-paid cell phone plans are (for calls within Germany) either true flat rates (monthly rates between 17[1] and 40 EUR, depending on how much data and how many SMS are included) or include a more limited amount of included minutes (100-200 Minutes), with a modest overage of 7 to 21 Euro-cent per minute. The time of days is not accounted for.
Overage charges in North American countries[edit]
North American post-paid cell phone plans typically divide the minutes used in various categories such as peak minutes, evening and night minutes (also called off-peak minutes), weekend minutes, mobile-to-mobile minutes, and so on. The peak minutes also go by the name of "anytime minutes" or "whenever minutes".
The peak minutes allowed under most post-paid plans are usually limited (such as 750 peak minutes allowed in a month for $40 per month) and minutes in all other categories are either free, or come with a large monthly quota (such as 5000 weekend and weeknight minutes). Therefore, in North American countries, the overage charges typically mean "peak overage charges", that is, a cell phone user gets charged separately for the extra peak minutes used in a month.
Cell phone providers usually charge a very steep overage rate.
Keeping track of peak minutes[edit]
Mobile networks may offer the ability to check how much of a quota has been used, or users may sign up to third-party monitoring services.

Sabres eliminated from playoff picture in loss to Rangers
BUFFALO -- The New York Rangers scored five times in a span of less than 3 minutes and Brad Richards notched his first NHL hat trick in an 8-4 rout of the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night.
The Sabres were eliminated from the postseason picture with the loss and had their three-game winning streak stopped.
The five-goal spurt at the end of the opening period and the beginning of the second was part of a 6-0 outburst. Richards scored two of the first five goals, and then completed the hat trick in the third period as the win kept the Rangers in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
Carl Hagelin, Ryane Clowe, Anton Stralman, Rick Nash and Ryan Callahan also scored for New York.
Cody Hodgson, Drew Stafford and Mark Pysyk scored for Buffalo.

Agency says it can't approve canakinumab without further evaluation of benefit/risk profile in refractory patients.[© S - Fotolia.com]
FDA has gone along with the recommendations of its scientific advisory committee and refused to approve Novartis' monoclonal antibody canakinumab (ACZ885) for the treatment of gouty arthritis. The complete response letter issued to the firm has requested additional clinical data to evaluate the benefit/risk profile in refractory patients.
The agency's CRL reflects the opinion of the scientific advisory committee, which in June said that while it was happy with the overall efficacy of canakinumab, it did have some safety concerns, and suggested that retreatment data would be needed in order to assess the overall safety profile of the drug.
Novartis reported positive data from two Phase III studies evaluating the drug in the treatment of severe gouty arthritis back in May. Regulatory submissions were made in the EU in 2010, and in the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland in the first quarter of 2011.
Canakinumab is an IL-1β-targeting antibody that was approved in 2009 in Europe and the U.S., under the tradename Ilaris™, for the treatment of adults and children with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). The drug is now approved in over 45 countries for the CAPS indication, and achieved sales of $12 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 95% (in constant currency) on Q2 2010 sales.

The Hamilton Adirondack Program is a place-based, off-campus semester experience that combines rigorous academic study with the skills and understanding gained through field work and internships in the Adirondack Park with local organizations and in wilderness contexts. The focus is on interdisciplinary, local environmental issues with global implications and applications. The goal is to extend these vital lessons into students' future careers and life plans.
"It's very good to see students using the Adirondacks as the unique classroom that it is — and even better to see them giving a huge amount back to these mountains as volunteers across the park!"
—Bill McKibben
We seek to attract a broad spectrum of students — students from all majors and interests! — who want to investigate the ecological, geological, political, economic, historic, and cultural issues that shape the complex mix of natural and human environments in the Adirondacks.
We offer students an intensive 15-week FALL residency at The Mountain House, in Keene, NY, in the heart of the High Peaks region. We provide our participants with leadership opportunities in which they learn intensively, interdisciplinarily and experientially about the nature and importance of place and place-making through stewardship and the liberal arts.
We seek students who demonstrate motivation, maturity, and a willingness to work and live both independently and communally in a wilderness environment.
16 students per term. The program is open to Hamilton juniors and seniors in their fall semester. Hamilton sophomores may apply through an appeals process to the Committee on Academic Standing (contact the General Director for more info). The program is also open to qualified sophomores, juniors, and seniors from other participating undergraduate institutions. Students attending the program from other undergraduate institutions will receive an official Hamilton College transcript and must be enrolled in full time study during the course of the semester. For more information about admission eligibility, click here. For the application, click here.
Courses are taught by Hamilton College faculty, augmented by guest speakers and over 50 of our local partners throughout the Adirondack Park. Each student enrolls in 4 courses:
Students may earn up to two credits in their area of major or minor concentration, pending approval from their home department or program. Those students in Environmental Studies at Hamilton can automatically obtain credit toward their ES major or minor for the Intensive Seminar and the Independent Capstone Project.
Additional experiential leadership opportunities are available, such as outdoor skills building and trip leading and community outreach and volunteering – all challenge-by-choice.

The University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA) will host a conference on Race and Pedagogy keynoted by Prof. Cornel West on Sept. 14-16, 2006. The conference will bring together scholars, teachers, and students to discuss the pedagogical implications of race in higher education, particularly but not exclusively in institutions and programs oriented towards a liberal education in the arts and sciences. Refining, extending, and questioning our understanding of the pedagogical implications of race is critical if we are to improve the racial-cultural experiences of all our students and prepare our students for citizenship and leadership in a diverse world where race continues to matter. The conference planning committee encourages teachers, scholars, and students across disciplines (e.g. humanities, social sciences, physical sciences) with an interest in race and pedagogy to examine the three themes which will guide the conference: 1) race, knowledge, and disciplinarity; 2) racial dynamics and racial performances in the classroom (and beyond); 3) race, pedagogy, and community.
For submission guidelines and more information about the conference, please visit the website: http://www.ups.edu/rpc.xml

Some people think of fiddlers as old bearded men who sit on porches playing Bull the Cabbage Down. That description hardly fits Dale Morris Jr. Just 19 and a business student at Weatherford College in Weatherford, Texas, Dale won second prize at Nashville's Grand Masters Invitational Contest and first prize at the National Old-time Fiddlers Contest in Weiser, Idaho.
"If my mother had gotten her way, I'd be playing piano today," says Dale, whose mother, Anita, is a gospel singer. Instead he chose to emulate his father, a champion fiddler who once played with the Sons of the Pioneers. Often away from home on tour, Dale Sr. taught his boy the basics of fiddling, then left him to learn the rest on his own. By age 10, when Dale joined his dad on a summer gig in Colorado, he was good enough to sit in with older musicians. "The first time I played for an audience," says Dale, "I was hooked."
Eventually Dale taught himself to play a half dozen other instruments. But fiddling remained his first love despite the indifference of his friends. "They didn't exactly do back flips over my playing," he recalls.
These days Dale's main ambition is to fiddle professionally. He's already performed live with country stars Dottie West and George (Goober) Lindsey. Dale is thinking of using his $1,400 contest winnings to cut his first solo album. But, he confides, "I'm also considering getting me a pickup. I might use the money for that."
On a visit to West Point last year, 18-year-old twins Nicole and Catherine Dekle met a cadet who was struck by their blond dazzle. "Gee, I never would have thought you two were so smart," he said after talking to the Savannah, Ga. high school seniors. The Dekles are used to such clichéd reactions from admirers. They've been known as beauties with brains since they entered the first grade. Now their success has been capped by a special honor. This year they were named among 141 Presidential Scholars—the first twins in the award's 21-year history.
The Dekles were singled out for the competition last February partly on the basis of their superb SAT scores (Nicole scored 800 in math and 730 in English; Catherine got 800 in English and 730 in math). They made the finals with essays on subjects they chose themselves, Nicole writing a humorous piece on "How To Escape Being a Twin," and Catherine examining "Individuality."
The only daughters of a high school history teacher and Savannah's first female stockbroker (who recently gave birth to a son at age 41), the twins grew up inseparable. They attended the same schools and took the same art, music and ballet classes. Until age 15 they both wanted to be dancers. Then a summer studying with professionals convinced them, says Nicole, "that dancing wouldn't be much fun to do all the time." Now Catherine wants to become a doctor and Nicole a research biologist.
The twins, who each received a $1,000 Presidential scholarship, are headed for college this fall, and for the first time they'll be going in separate directions. Nicole will be at Harvard, and her sister will be at Yale. "We'll miss each other," says Catherine, "but it'll be interesting to see what life is like without a twin."

The female juror, a retired factory worker, somehow slipped past court security to smoke a cigarette outside, U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano said. Under usual court procedures, jurors are escorted to and from breaks.
"This lady took it upon herself to just go outside and have a cigarette," Pisano said.
He asked the attorneys how he should address the situation and inquire whether she had any discussions with anyone other than her fellow jurors about the case during that time.
The lawyers said rather than single out the woman, they would prefer the judge address the issue when all the jurors are together.
The jury of seven women and five men were about four hours into deliberations, which included slightly more than an hour of discussions on Monday, when the judge raised the issue.
Van Pelt, a former mayor and committeeman in Ocean Township, is charged with extortion and bribery. He is accused of accepting a $10,000 bribe to help expedite environmental permits for a development project in his Ocean County community. He contends the money was a fee for consulting work he agreed to perform for a real estate developer. That developer, Solomon Dwek, was secretly working for the federal government under the fictitious name of David Esenbach after he was arrested on bank fraud allegations.

Barcelona Convention Parties Adopt Declaration on Marine Environment
11 December 2013: Mediterranean and EU Ministers and Heads of State committed to protect coastal and marine species and habitats at the 18th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Coastal Region of the Mediterranean and its Protocols (CoP 18). CoP 18, which took place from 3-6 December 2103, in Istanbul, Turkey, resulted in the Istanbul Declaration, which includes 17 decisions.
Parties adopted decisions to protect and conserve marine species, including monk seals and marine turtles. Among the decisions on habitat protection and protected areas (PAs), Parties agreed to: develop a representative network of coastal and marine PAs, supported by sustainable financing; protect Mediterranean Sea coral habitat; and increase the number and visibility of the Specially PAs of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI).
Parties also agreed on a Marine Litter Regional Action Plan to promote sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns, ensure environmentally sound waste management and reduce waste volumes. This plan represents the first regional effort on reducing marine debris since the outcome document of UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20) called for such commitments. The plan outlines collaboration between the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) and industry to prevent, reduce and remove marine litter from the Mediterranean through developing technical capacity, reducing knowledge gaps and providing financial resources.
Parties further adopted decisions on, inter alia: development of an Action Plan to address Mediterranean SCP priorities, including reducing human impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems; and targets and definitions of 'Good Environmental Status' for 11 ecological objectives.
As part of MAP's 2014-15 programme of work, Parties agreed to revise action plans on measures to prevent pollution from offshore and shipping-based activities and to prioritize data collection and information exchange.
MAP signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) at the meeting. MAP and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) will cooperate on sustainable development and pollution control and prevention. MAP and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will address marine and coastal ecosystem conservation and the sustainable use of marine living resources.
MAP is a regional seas environmental agreement that includes 21 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea and the EU. MAP aims to protect coastal and marine environments and achieve sustainable development. The Barcelona Convention and its seven Protocols are the legal basis for cooperation to protect the Mediterranean environment. [UNEP Press Release] [COP 18 Website]
