State Sets Economic Development Guidelines
By Dennis Phillips
The guidelines to apply for a portion of $760 million in economic development resources has been outlined by New York state.
On Wednesday, the state announced the competition guidelines for round three of the Regional Economic Development Councils. The economic development strategy was implemented for the first time in 2011. The plan created 10 regional councils, which were made up of area leaders who would determine which projects were the most vital for economic success. The councils then applied for state funding under a new consolidated-funding formula, which made projects eligible for grant money and tax credits. The combined pool of funding totaled around $738 million for 2012.
The state program in 2012 awarded $52.8 million to 58 projects in Western New York to improve local infrastructure and create jobs. Specific to Chautauqua County, more than $1.475 million was allocated during the second year of the Regional Economic Development Council program. The combined pool of funding totaled around $738 million for 2012.
In 2011, it was reported Western New York received $100.3 million from the program. Chautauqua County received $5.2 million as a result of the first year's consolidated-funding application. Statewide, $800 million was awarded in 2011.
The 2013 consolidated-funding application resources manual, which outlines the funds available from 29 state agency programs, and the 2013 Regional Economic Development Council guidebook, which provides the competitive guidelines for this year, are both available at regionalcouncils.ny.gov.
"Under Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo's leadership, it is clear that New York state is on the path to building an economy made for the 21st century," said Robert J. Duffy, lieutenant governor and Regional Economic Development Council chairman. "The past two rounds of the Regional Economic Development Councils have shown what a difference we can make to local economies by listening to regional business and community leaders. This year we're looking for even stronger projects from businesses and applicants of all sizes that will create new jobs for New Yorkers and ensure the Empire State remains a leader in the global economy."
Each regional council's progress will once again be reviewed at the end of this round to encourage the implementation of strategic plans and to motivate investment opportunities and job creation.
The councils will be competing for up to $150 million in capital funds and $70 million in excelsior tax credits for projects identified as priorities in each region.
The consolidated-funding application was created in 2011 to give economic development project applicants expedited and streamlined access to a combined pool of grant money and tax credits from dozens of existing programs. The consolidated-funding application will be open from June 17 until Aug. 12.
Money available for projects includes $1.25 million for business incubator and innovation hot spot programs; $10 million for Market New York; $25 million for state community development block grants; $12 million for local waterfront projects; $2 million for state wastewater infrastructure engineering planning grants; $4 million for local government efficiency grants; and $5 million for workforce development.

In the damp, dark, twisting catacombs of this long digital revolution that eventually will lead to the bright future of eReading, marginalia may be the lowly canary. Marginalia, that wonderfully eccentric habit of writing in the margins of printed books, has become an object of scrutiny and some concern. Coleridge, Melville, Twain, David Foster Wallace, and a host of others made marginalia into a form of literary expression. If printed books are being marginalized, what is the future of marginalia?
Of course, we're talking about writing in the margins of personally owned copies. Writing in the margins of library books is a no-no. Ditto for underlining and highlighting. Very boorish behavior and fodder for fines and polite chastisement. Read More »
Last Friday Brian Ford, one of the co-founders of Lendle.me, an ebook lending service for Kindle editions, sat down with Tom Peters to talk about the wild and woolly month of March Lendle experienced. Lendle had to close down briefly and unexpectedly in March when Amazon blocked access to their API. This resulted in an equally unexpected amount of media attention and public outrage. Tom and Brian discuss not only this March Madness, but also the longer term issues and opportunities for authors, rights holders, publishers, libraries, and readers.

Approximately 22 years ago I had a memorable conversation with a university English professor. One Friday afternoon we were bandying about the idea of faculty status for librarians – back then a hot topic at a particular university.
English Professor: If librarians want to become professors, what do they profess? Librarian Me: Rather than focus on a particular subject area (such as English literature, political science, or physics), we profess how information is created, found, accessed, used, organized, and archived by humans.
It was playful academic banter, but my memory of the exchange has lingered across the decades.
Then, early on Monday morning, March 7, 2011, I noticed that James Gleick has a new book out: The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood, published by Pantheon, an imprint of KnopfDoubleday. Read More »
As far as I can tell, Barnes & Noble started it all when, as they were preparing to launch their Nook device and service in late 2009 and wanted to differentiate it from Amazon's existing Kindle service, they decided to allow one legitimate lending of a Nook ebook (the etext, not the device) for a two week period. Some librarians I spoke with about this Nook lending option scoffed at it. One opportunity to lend an ebook over the life of your ownership does not seem like much. I even joked about how this could cause interpersonal distress. "I thought I was your primary Nook friend." Most librarians I spoke with saw little or no relationship between this form of elending and the type of public good, institutional elending that libraries and library users want and need.

As usual, ALA Midwinter was exciting, informative, and exhausting. I was able to attend in person, but I know many colleagues who were not able to make the trek to San Diego, which was generally sunny but a tad chilly. I'm looking forward to the post-Midwinter webinar that ALA TechSource will hold on Wed. Jan. 19th (http://www.alatechsource.org/blog/2011/01/register-now-for-our-free-webinar-midwinter-tech-wrapup.html). Read More »
There are four occasions for reading: school, work, avocational reading, and incidental reading. Nearly all of the reading we do for school and work is assigned reading. Someone else tells us what to read. Incidental reading occurs when you read in the context of doing something else. Two examples: reading road signs as you drive, and reading the cereal box as you munch in the morning. Avocational reading, also called reading for pleasure or leisure reading, is volitional reading. We freely choose to read, and we choose what, how, and where to read. Read More »
The Google ebookstore (http://books.google.com/ebooks) officially opened on Monday. At launch, Google ebooks are available only in the U.S., but they plan to go international in 2011. On Day One Google claimed to offer the world's largest selection of ebooks, with "...nearly 3 million free ebooks and hundreds of thousands of titles that are ready for purchase." If and when the dust settles on the Google Book Settlement, those numbers should rise substantially. Read More »
The battle for the right to lend ebooks has begun. It is being fought in board rooms, in backrooms, and in bedrooms. It is being fought at sales counters and at circulation counters, by web counters and by bean counters. It is being fought on land, at sea, in the air, on the net, and in outer space. It is being fought on both sides of the Atlantic. Sinister u-boats have been spotted lurking off the Jersey coast, waiting to sink errant ebooks.
If I had it in me, this is the point where I would launch into some rousing rhetoric in the proud tradition of Henry V at Agincourt, of Teddy Roosevelt at the foot of San Juan Hill, of FDR, and of Churchill. To the ramparts, readers! We must save the lending library!
Alas, I don't have it in me, so let's just look at some recent developments. Read More »
My friends and family will tell you that I'm an AMN (Amateur Map Nut). The symptoms first appeared decades ago, before computerization. In my office I still have (and frequently consult!) the Times Atlas of the World, the Rand McNally Atlas of the World, the MapQuest Road Atlas, the Rand McNally Road Atlas (both the current year and the 1960 version, so I can see how road networks and urban areas looked before they were sliced and diced by the interstate highway system), the AA Road Atlas of Britain, A-Z London Street Guide, and a host of state and city maps distributed free of charge by tourism offices and chambers of commerce. I've even feigned being an outsider at local offices just to obtain maps. I'm an AMN, tried and true. Read More »
I'm an avid follower of portable eReading developments, with umpteen Google Alerts set up for just about every product and keyword. These days, my incoming email tends to be about 10 percent legitimate stuff, about 40 percent spam (with a curious glut of ads for discount vacations for the French – "We're from France."), and 50 percent alerts about eReaders.
Earlier this month I noticed an alert about a Kiev-based device manufacturer called Pocketbook International (http://www.pocketbook-usa.com/) that had just announced five new models of eReading devices at the IFA Exhibition in Berlin (http://www1.messe-berlin.de/vip8_1/website/Internet/Internet/www.ifa-berlin/englisch/index.html). The devices seem to be very open and flexible, with little or nothing proprietary about them.

Over the course of four years, Palm Beach Atlantic University's theatrical offerings have blossomed in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach. The Fern Street Theatre, a 12,000-sqaure-foot facility complete with a black box theatre, classrooms and performance space for workshops and studio classes, has allowed for the school's theater department to expand since it first opened in September 2010. Now, the department performs a three-production season, with students running everything from production and direction to scene construction and design, down to the acting itself.
PBA's 2013-14 season begins October 9-12 with Barry Kornhauser's Reeling, a musical play set in 1920s Hollywood. In a similar vein to that of a silent film, the plot follows our hero as he tries to the win the heart of his beloved. Like the Academy Award-winning film The Artist, Reeling integrates a menagerie of music, dance, vaudeville, digital media and visual arts, not to mention a dose of physical theater, in homage to the golden age of film.
- Showtimes are as follows: October 9-11 at 7:30 p.m.; October 12 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
- Tickets cost $15 ($25 for two).
- For tickets and more information, call 561-803-2970 or visit pba.edu/comthr-our-season.

How Much Protection Can One City Afford?
I mentioned in a prior article that the city of Jamestown lost 21 percent of its population since 1970. Despite that, most of us still look at the city as the heart of the community in Southern Chautauqua County. When we have a gathering to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans, we tend to gather in the city. When we have a Christmas parade, citizens bring in floats from many local communities and they want the parade to be in downtown, in the city. Most of the retail shopping has moved out to Fairmount Avenue, but downtown Jamestown is still, for most of us, at the local level, the center of our body politic.
The city of Jamestown is more than a small town of 31,000 people. When I am driving back from Erie on I-86 and see the name "Jamestown," to me it means a region, all of Southern Chautauqua County. It is like the regional meaning we give to "Buffalo." The Buffalo Bills are not a team that belongs to a city of 250,000 people clustered at the end of Lake Erie. The Buffalo Bills are a Western New York team! To me, "Buffalo" describes a larger region, just the way "Jamestown" does.
So it is not unreasonable that most everyone who lives in Southern Chautauqua County remains interested in what happens in Jamestown. You may live in Falconer or Lakewood, but you still carry a concern for the city as the hub of our community. A look at its budget over the past 40 years is revealing. On its face, the city's budget appears reasonable. Budgeted appropriations for 1970 were $14,031,798; whereas, for this year they are $33,058,765. That budget growth is substantially less than cost-of-living increases since 1970, and reflects that the city has been trying to control its expenses.
Yet, when you compare the city's budget from 1970 to its expenditures today, much has changed. In 1970, the city's budget paid for the City Court, a landfill, sewer and water services, garbage pick-up, a General Hospital, a Social Services department, a golf course and an airport.
In 2012, it provides none of these services. These functions have either been discontinued, taken over by the county or by the BPU.
On the revenue side, in 1970, the sales tax contributed $575,000 to the city's budget and the real property tax levy was $5,106,051. In 2012, the sales tax was estimated to bring in $5,750,000 to the city and the real property tax levy was projected at $14,320,055.
Since many of its 1970 governmental functions are no longer the city's responsibility, where is the tax money going? The biggest change seems to be in the area of public safety (police and fire protection). In 1970, public safety cost $1,689,385 or was 8.3 percent of the city's budget.
Today, it is $10,666,677 or 31.3 percent of the budget. However, a better comparison would be to add the cost of the state pension system to these numbers.
In 1970, the payment to the state pension fund was $358,910. This year, the city paid $3,590,000 to the state retirement program, about two-thirds of which went to the Police and Fire Retirement Fund. (The total benefit program for all employees in the City in 2012 was $12,863,931.)
If you add all of the benefit costs, including pension costs, I would estimate that approximately 55 percent of the city's budget goes for police and fire services. Based upon this year's budget, the primary work of the city of Jamestown today is focused on maintaining and paying for its police and fire departments.
Maybe all of this was planned or inevitable. But, it gives "perspective" when you compare today's costs to what the city was paying 40 years ago for the same service.
We know that our police and firemen work hard and put themselves at risk each day for our common benefit. So this is not a critique of them. But, for the city, it becomes a question of affordability.
According to the 2010 census, the "median household income" in Jamestown was $28,789. Can the citizens of the city maintain a system where the median wage for a policeman is $70,000 per year and the average cost of employing a fireman is $65,000 per year?
When you add in the benefits, the average policeman costs the city approximately $100,000 per year and total cost for one fireman is about $94,000 per year. Their employment also carries a mandate that they are eligible for retirement at half pay after 20 years of service. Last year the city paid $2,420,000 to the State of New York to pay for that benefit.
Looking at the numbers, the issue of the cost for police and fire services is a legitimate question for Jamestown. There have been recent articles in this paper about combining police services with the county Sheriff's Department or other police agencies. I am sure that the discussion is not being aimed at the professionalism of the city's uniformed services but at the very serious question of what the city can afford.
It is a discussion worth having.

In this stunning sequel to The Golden Compass, the intrepid Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld, Cittagazze, where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. But she is not without allies: 12-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power. And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat, and the shattering truth of their own destiny.
Listen to the rest of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series.
©1997 Philip Pullman; (P)Random House, Inc., Listening Library, A Division Of Random House, Inc.
"The superb production of this fascinating fantasy epic makes it a heart-thumping listening adventure." (AudioFile)
"The story gallops with ferocious momentum [and] Pullman is devilishly inventive. (The New York Times Book Review)
"More than fulfilling the promise of The Golden Compass, this second volume starts off at a heart-thumping pace and never slows down." (Publishers Weekly)
"A resoundingly successful sequel." (Booklist)
"The second book in a fantastic trilogy!"
His Dark Materials, of which this is the second book, is a terrific fantasy. While aimed at younger readers, the series holds up brilliantly for adults, as well.
In the second book, Lyra's adventure continues, as she finds herself in another world and discovers Will, a young boy who becomes her companion through the rest of the series. Lyra & Will also find other types of beings in this world, angels and witches; some are helpful, some not so. You'll enjoy taking the journey with them, and the narration -by author Philip Pullman and a full cast- helps pull you into the story.
"Really Fantastic"
This book is amazing - the narriator is very good as well. I loved these books when I read them - and I loved them just as much while listening. You won't be disappointed.
"Wonderful story"
I listen to A LOT of books on audible.com. This and Golden Compass received great ratings except for those who wrote a review. I see this often. I guess we have some literary critics who haunt audible.com. :) I found The Golden Compass and this book wonderful stories. The narration on both were great, and the music didn't bother me a bit. I'm starting the 3rd book with great expectation. If you like a well read, great stories then these books are for you.
"Another Terrific Book"
This is the second book of the trilogy, and I thought if anything it surpassed the first with the introduction of new and compelling characters and plot developments. The actors and production are superb. Perhaps the best youth recorded book I have heard, including all of the Harry Potter books. Very highly recommended.
"Enjoyed as much as the first"
Great second book. I love the narration in these books. Each character has it's own voice. The books really come alive.
"an earful"
The second part of the trilogy is wonderfully compelling. The musical interludes between chapters are terrible -- ear piercing interrruptions to an otherwise great dramatization.
"Lose yourself in another world"
I read the Pullman trilogy years ago and it has made me think more than nearly any other books I have read. The audiobook is very well done, with a full cast, and really helps you appreciate the layers of storytelling going on. Wonderful characters, wonderful imaginative story.
What a great story! I thought the first book was entertaining but this was even better. The cast is great and the book was enjoyed by both my 10 year old son and I. It is easy to follow and very thought provoking. I have listened to close to 50 audio books now and this is the best I have heard. I wish there were more than three books in the series. I hope they make this into a movie.
"Full Cast, upsides and downsides."
Phillip Pullman has created a rich and engaging multiverse with the "His Dark Materials" series. It's an epic trilogy with characters you can love, worry for, and rejoice with. In these full-cast recordings of the trilogy you get the added aspect of an ensemble cast of voice performers bringing many different backgrounds and talents together to create a richer world. Sometimes described as "An Atheist Narnia," the series stands out in its approach to fantasy that moves in an exciting adventure with a solid three-book arc. And Pullman himself, as the narrator, has a deep, soft narrator's voice, putting one in mind of a grandfather reading them a story. I might draw a vague parallel to a British Garrison Keillor.
However, it has its drawbacks. I recommend listening to the book first before reading these so you can enjoy it more without being on the lookout for them:
Pullman is a talented writer, but he does write as though he's being paid by the word. There are stretches of dialogue and description added that don't benefit the story and tend to slow it down. Some might argue that he gets a bit preachy and didactic (if I'm using that word correctly). The book, like too many fantasy series somewhat lacks a sense of whimsey, taking itself a bit too seriously for what it is. As an intermediate-level read, that can be forgiven, but one would hope for some joviality, especially in a universe (multiverse?) with talking animals. I'm not saying they all need to be voiced by Eddie Murphy, but please lighten up a bit.
As for the full cast, while I can't express enough how much it enhanced the story, it too had its drawbacks. Some of the actors went into total maudlin melodrama overdrive in their performances that made repeat listens a bit of a chore. Some find the main character of Lyra a bit annoying to begin with, but when you actually hear her whine instead of modulating it with your mind's ear, it gets a bit more trying.
All in all, three or four stars depending on your mood and age. I recommend the series at least once. Worth your credits.
"Pullman doesn't pull punches"
The reading is exceptional. The story is one that everyone should hear at least once. It addresses the core of many peoples' problems with organized religion (or religion in general) and presents them in an exciting fantastic view of our universe.
In Ontario certain regions of the catholic school board have banned this books. Although he is quite critical of organized religion the book does appear to leave room for spirituality (in my opinion).

I really wanted to love this fragrance because I LOVE the bottle. At first it smelled great but after half hour or so, the fragrance began to turn on me. it became intense and not very feminine at all. After an hour, I had a terrible headache. I'd love to be able re-gift it because I've only sprayed one whiff out and saved the box, but I love the bottle so much, I may just have to keep it. Glad I bought the smaller one.
Written by BonnieH on February 11, 2014
It smells wonderful on me. I really like it. Yes it is a little different but nice great fragrance. It is refreshing and not over powering. I keep sniffing all thru the day. It has some floral hinting in it.
Written by peach on February 06, 2014
L De Lolita Lempicka Coral Flower is a strange little scent. It's fresh, light, and doesn't announce itself before you walk into the room. At times I pick up little reminders of a scent I wore in high school Love's "Rain" scent. I can pick up the amber and frangipani, and it has a lovely "green" quality about it. I don't get any citrus. The vanilla is subtle, and initially can come across as a bit plastic. Overall, this has been my go-to scent for hot summer days because it really does have a very beachy quality to it. I tend to prefer more "green" florals, and this one does not disappoint.
Written by Amy on September 02, 2013
This perfume is great. As others have mentioned, the fragrance does remind you of the beach or fresh sea air, which to me, is just delightful!The scent is light, not overpowering. I do wish it had a little more lasting power. I too bought the fragrance after receiving a sample and I am glad I did. Buy Lolita Lempicka L coral and you can have the Beach come to you!
Written by Melanie on March 27, 2013
I was hesitant to buy this one because of reviews, but I am happy I did. It is very different than the other lolitas; I have them all. I would compare this one to a Coco Mademoiselle or Alien Sunescence. It has citrusy notes, but it is very soft and clean at the same time. Great buy for the price here.

Former 'Bachelor' Jake Pavelka stepped out with a new blonde on his arm at a 'Dancing With the Stars' party Monday night, and he tells Us Weekly she is his new girlfriend, wedding planner Meghan Jones.
Jake told Us a friend introduced them less than two months ago and that they love to travel.
"We're going to flip a coin in the morning," he said. "It's either going to be Hawaii, Australia, Bali or Bangkok. We're just going to get up and go somewhere."
Jake got engaged to Vienna Girardi on 'The Bachelor' last year but the couple had a nasty, televised split in July after he reportedly refused to have sex with her for months. In August Vienna announced she had a new boyfriend named John.

Skip to comments.The Coming Obama 'Theocracy'
Posted on 02/16/2008 8:18:03 AM PST by jdm
People mocked Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney for their religious backgrounds often during the presidential campaigns, but at least they never claimed to be on a mission to save the souls of Americans through government action. Oh, people accused them of wanting to do so -- to impose Southern Baptist or Mormon theology on an America that wants relentless secularism, but in point of fact both men gave stirring speeches on how their faith informs them personally but not their governance.
One campaign really has explicitly claimed to be on such a mission, however. Michelle Obama gave a speech at UCLA earlier this month in which she told supporters that her husband was the only man who could fix American souls -- if we elect him President first. Here's the transcript:
In 2008, we are still a nation that is too divided. We live in isolation, and because of that isolation, we fear one another. We don't know our neighbors, we don't talk, we believe our pain is our own. We don't realize that the struggles and challenges of all of us are the same. We are too isolated. And we are still a nation that is still too cynical. We look at it as "them" and "they" as opposed to "us". We don't engage because we are still too cynical. ...
Americans are not in debt because they live frivolously but because someone got sick. Even with insurance, the deductibles and the premiums are so high that people are still putting medications and treatments on credit cards. And they can't get out from under. I could go on and on, but this is how we're living, people, in 2008.
And things have gotten progressively worse throughout my lifetime, through Democratic and Republican administrations, it hasn't gotten better for regular folks. ....
We have lost the understanding that in a democracy, we have a mutual obligation to one another -- that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to measure our greatness by the least of these. That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.
It's hard to know where to start in with this speech. First, what evidence does Mrs. Obama have that the largest part of credit card debt goes to health care? Second, if she has seen the standard of living get progressively worse during her lifetime, she needs new glasses. The living standard of even those classified as poor now have per-person expenditures of the American middle-class of the early 1970s, according to the Census Bureau. Eighty percent of the poor live in air-conditioned housing, 43% of them own their own homes, and the average poor American has as much living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, and Athens. Only 3% don't own a color TV.
But it's the notion that only Barack Obama can save our souls that is the most offensive part of the speech, by far. Government doesn't exist to save souls; it exists to ensure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense. If I feel my soul needs saving, the very last place I'd look (in the US) for a savior would be Washington DC or Capitol Hill. I'll trust God and Jesus Christ with my soul, and I'm not going to mistake Barack Obama for either one.
This, though, is the religion of statism distilled to its essence. Only a government can rescue people from the consequences of their own decisions. Only government programs can provide for your every need, and only government can use your money wisely enough to ensure that your needs get covered. Individuals cannot possibly manage to help their neighbors through their churches or community organizations, let alone encourage people to do for themselves.
And all you need to enter the statist Utopia is to sell your soul. So that it can be fixed.
No, thank you.
Barack Obama will require you to work (for change). He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism, that you put down your division, that you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone, that you push yourself to be better, and that you engage!He is preceived as some sort of messiah by his supporters who appear to be mesmerized by his style, rather than the substance (what little is yet to be revealed) of his intentions to our nation. maybe you should read some of the data coallated in the Obama File.
Barack will NEVER allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed!
Obama is the latest model yet of the lib paradigm that only government can make your life for you. Hillary isn't really saying anything different, but Obama is worlds above Hillary as a speaker. Hillary's crowds know what she'll deliver despite the grating voice. Obama's followers have that rapturous look on their faces that only the completely deceived have. They love Obama. Despite the fact that the main thrust of Obama's speeches are that Americans are too stupid to live their own lives. Obama/Big Government is needed to care for the poor fools who probably need help tying their shoelaces and wiping their posteriors.
What a quote. I wish I'd said that.
Very sensible. With McCain and even Hillary- we know what to expect. With Obama- it is something larger and more dreadful than we can imagine. What's unsettling about this man- is what his candidacy is showing us about our country and where it really is- and where it could go...
"Americans are not in debt because they live frivolously but because someone got sick. Even with insurance, the deductibles and the premiums are so high that people are still putting medications and treatments on credit cards. And they can't get out from under. I could go on and on, but this is how we're living, people, in 2008."
It's never anyone's fault when they dig themselves into a hole they can't get out of. They're always victims of circumstance and its up to Big Brother to pull them out. I swear, the more I hear this drivel, the more I wish time travel was possible; I want to go back in time when personal responsiblity still meant something.
"And things have gotten progressively worse throughout my lifetime, through Democratic and Republican administrations, it hasn't gotten better for regular folks. ...."
And that couldn't possibly be because big government bums like Obama keep telling people "Don't worry about anything. The government will solve all your problems" with their fingers crossed behind their backs.
"We have lost the understanding that in a democracy, we have a mutual obligation to one another — that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to measure our greatness by the least of these. That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation."
One, we're a Republic, not a democracy (and even if we were, charity at gunpoint isn't a trait of a democracy).
Two, while it would be nice for us to care about others, we are not required too and the government is not in any way justified in making us care. We each make our own life, for good or bad, and we are not responsible for anyone but ourselves. Charity is good, but it shouldn't replace personal responsiblity.
You Nailed It!
Over the years I've had some good friends in the "bankin' biz" who'll back up what you say. 100%.
The Obamas must've bought the DeLuxe edition of Tony Robbins' Personal Power.
"Aren't you the friendly newbie on the thread! Sorry for posting a blurb but I had something I needed to take care of and I tend to assume that posters to this forum will read the other posts in the thread and possibly do a little research on their own. BTW...I'm glad to know you're the most experienced poster on FR. By the look of your signup date I think not! "
First of all, I'm not a newbie as I have been posting for much longer than you have. I just changed my screen name. Besides, even if I was new WTH difference does it make? Would it make my argument any less valid? I guess when you don't have a sensible response you look for someones sign on date. Brilliant strategy. BTW, if you don't like my tone, it's just a response to yours.
" Are you an Obama troll? Where have you been when the abundance of articles have been posted on this forum citing his socialist, Marxist platforms, his $845 billion tax on Americans to support global poverty through UN administration, his wife's comment that our souls need to be fixed, and the following quotes from Michele futher up the thread:"
Calling someone a troll is another thing a loser does when he cant counter an argument. If you check my posts you will see how ridiculous your accusation is. Obama may be a marxist, socialist, etc., so is Hellary. There is not an ounce of difference between them in policy. What makes Hellary wose is that she is a ruthless hatefilled witch who will stop at nothing to implement her policies. Obama is a harmless young mutton head who will get nothing done, Hellary is Stalin in a pantsuit.
But don't you get it? We're going into debt buying all of this stuff we don't need in order to medicate the agony of our broken souls!
A collection of Lewis essays called "God In The Dock" has an essay called "Is Progress Possible, Willing Slaves of the Welfare State" it's excellent reading- (written in the early 1950's)
For example- in this essay Lewis says:
"If we are to be mothered, mother must know best. . . . In every age the men who want us under their thumb, if they have any sense, will put forward the particular pretension which the hopes and fears of that age render most potent. They 'cash in.' It has been magic, it has been Christianity. Now it will certainly be science. . . . Let us not be deceived by phrases about 'Man taking charge of his own destiny.' All that can really happen is that some men will take charge of the destiny of others. . . . The more completely we are planned the more powerful they will be."
I'm with you!
You do know who the man in the blue shirt is, don't you? That is George Soros.
Ah, that's the Amish, they don't own electrical appliances period.
I am amazed by the Obaminator's constant reference to "change", when all he really expouses is the same failed Marxist bullcr@p we've all heard for the last umpteen years.
Super Tuesday I was FRinking every time he said, "change" on the TV. That was not my best idea to date...LOL!
I definitely agree with your assessment on the type of change he is promoting, and he is using the correct text to define it. According to statements his wife is making (see further up the thread) that "change" will not be good for our nation. Her statements are very scary!
"By voicing an opinion that you disagree with, you immediately countered by throwing insults. Remember this?"
I remember that I posted a comment that YOU disagreed with and you responded by telling me "Open your eyes" as though only an uniformed person could have that opinion. That insult is what set the tone for my response.
It also doesn't help that I feel VERY strongly about keeping the KKKlintons out of the White House. Just when it looks like we have a chance of doing that, people are making the classic mistake of assuming the KKKlintons are beaten and are attacking Obama. Frankly, Obama is our best chance of beating the KKKlintons. I know that if they are allowed to get one step from the White House they will find a way to win. They always do. IMO a Hellary presidency would be 10x worse than an Obama presidency.
Too many at this forum rationalize their disappointment at not having a conservative nominee by equating the Obamabeast with McCain. For them, it is mental comfort food.
One soul each?
Mrs. Anti Christ? :0
No hard feelings. I think tempers are short because no matter who wins the next election, we get sc***ed. Its just a matter of degree. Its going to be a rough 8 years.
8? He[[ I;m hoping we have such a strong Conservative turnout in 2012 we take back the White House and both wings of Congress. IMO it's time Conservatives turn grassroots again and begin rebuilding from the local and state level up, and send those in Congress who think it's a profession packing their bags.
And I agree with your analysis on short tempers. My apologies, once again!
Well, your post is going to give me nightmares. I started out just not liking this guy because of his hidden Islamic past, but now I am really starting to be concerned!
So well said.
Another great Lewis quote. Thanks.
I'm swooning...is anyone else swooning??? I mean....erm....it's hard not to!!! /s

Meeting Description:
Aspect and Performativity in Slavic Languages (and Beyond)
Iwona Witczak-Plisiecka and Igor Z Zagar - IPrA 2011 Panel
Through discussions gathered in this panel we would like to contrastively
explore the relation between formal grammatical features, such as tense,
aspect, Aktionsart, mood, voice, and the corresponding (potential)
performativity in linguistic expressions.
Final Call For Papers
We invite papers focused on the relation between performativity and
- the relation between tense, aspect, Aktionsart, mood, voice,
- the corresponding (potential) performativity in linguistic expressions.
Exploration of the topic extends into:
- speech-act oriented research traditions outside the Anglo-Saxon world
- contrastive analysis of Anglo-Saxon and Continental research on
- past and contemporary reflection on the actional nature of language
independent of the Austinian tradition
Conveners' statement:
We believe that performativity is still an issue worthy of exploration. We
would like to emphasize speech-act oriented research traditions outside the
Anglo-Saxon world, next to better-known work by Emile Benveniste,
contemporary to Austin, we would also like to draw attention to even earlier
independent reflection on the actional nature of language, e.g. that of ?
krabec (1911) in Slovenian or Koschmieder (1934) in Polish.
In the Anglo-Saxon world 'the performative' is directly associated with John
Austin's theory of speech acts, subsequently developed by John Searle,
which concentrates on the institutional aspect in speech action. In turn our
Slavic perspective seems to tend towards grammar and logic-oriented
issues and focuses on the syntax-pragmatics, form-function relations.
In describing what is happening, what is going on 'right now' as we speak,
all Slavs would use the present tense of an imperfective and not a
perfective verb. It, therefore, should not come as a surprise that in all Slavic
languages performatives usually take the imperfective aspect. Dickey (2000:
177-178), however, quite contentiously observes that the North Slavic
languages all allow coincidence of simultaneous actions with performative
verbs and certain verba dicendi (taking the perfective aspect [sic!]) to some
degree, 'while the South Slavic languages, with the exception of Slovene,
almost never do. Within the North Slavic languages, West Slavic exhibits a
much higher degree of coincidence with performative verbs [...] than East
Slavic does.' There is thus an unsolved puzzle whether performativity can
be directly related to tense and aspect and accounted for in a systematic
way. Is the form-meaning of a performative necessarily either highly
institutional or vague? To quote Stanislav ?krabec, a 19th-century Slovene
linguist, '[a]s long as we are only promising (imperfective), we have not
promised anything yet, and if we are not (doing anything) but promising
(imperfective), we cannot take anything as having been promised.'
Faced with such problems, in this panel we would like to focus on Slavic
languages, whose rich and ramified morphology has not been widely
documented with regard to the morphology-syntax-semantics-pragmatics
interface. However, we believe that contrasting varied, even potentially
contradictory Slavic data (cf. H. Galton's The Main Functions of the Slavic
Verbal Aspect (1976) and S.M. Dickey's Parameters of Slavic Aspect
(2000)), with related data from other language families can shed new light
on the still mysterious and elusive concept of the performative value. In
particular, we would like to explore the potential of converging Slavic
linguistics research on tense, aspect and mood with the Anglo-Saxon
research on related formal features of performativity, e.g. mood. This call is
part of a bigger project whose aim is a separate volume devoted to aspect
and performativity in Slavic and other Indo-European languages, which is
to be published with John Benjamins' Pragmatics & Beyond New Series.
Full texts and proposals in the form of abstracts should be sent by 16
October 2010 to the panel conveners:

Skip to comments.New book claims Fidel Castro knew about Kennedy assassination plot beforehand
Posted on 03/18/2012 11:59:30 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
A new book by an ex-CIA spook claims that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro knew about Lee Harvey Oswald's plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy and did nothing to stop it.
Author Brian Latell was the agency's former national intelligence officer for Latin America and is now a senior research associate in Cuban American studies at the University of Miami.
In the upcoming volume, "Castro's Secrets: The CIA and Cuba's Intelligence Machine," Latell writes that on Nov. 22 1963, Castro ordered his intelligence officers in Havana to drop their normal responsibilities and pay close attention to communications coming out of Texas "any little detail small detail from Texas," The Miami Herald reported.
Latell also writes that Oswald became frustrated after Cuban embassy officials denied his attempts to travel there, and told Cuban intelligence officials he would kill Kennedy to prove his allegiance to Castro and the communists.

INCONCEIVABLE! But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me....
Oh Mr. K as a physicist you are saying you are smarter about balistic physics than that genius of the one-bullet mind and physics bending theory, Senator Spector?
I remember as a young man listening to a friend of my cousin who worked for the State Department in Saigon. This friend who was only introduced by his first name spent an hour or so one Sunday afternoon during siesta time unsealing the size and inferred influence and wealth of the Ngo's and a couple of other Viet families, the Tho's I think was another such. Members of the Ngo family were spread around the world, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, France, the USA, and Great Britain. While not nearly as large or wealthy as the Soong clan from China they had global reach of a quite but very persuasive sort and probably, this man observed, had the resources and the capacity to orchestrate something like the JFK murder within a few weeks.
On other thing, Ido know that it was generally believed 'Big Minh' gave the direction before the coup to kill off the Ngo leadership. While he remained in SVN he appeared very take in public and lived in a heavily guarded villa. After 1975 he fled to the US and lived in Honolulu until his death. Again, he was a virtual, wees,thy recluse living in a pretty big house that was guarded as tightly as the Kremlin by male members of his family. Minh apparently did not leave his house fir months or eventually years. He was clearly apprehensive of someone.
That's very interesting about the Vietnamese family structure. Would Ngo Dinh Diem have been the Tuc for his family?
Big Minh wound up being President right at the very end of South Vietnam's existence. When Saigon fell he advocated surrender rather than fighting to the bitter end and that surely made him a collaborator to some people. He probably feared that they would come looking for him.
So Jim Garrison said, and some people believe him.
BUT: after the Italian Army as a whole reequipped with the .30 M1 in 1952, the Italian Army Marksmanship Team continued to use the Mannlicher-Carcano for more than a decade.
I've seen that interview. It's very good.
Here is a radio interview with Mark Lane who has written books about the assassination.
You are right of course that Big Minh, who probably had at least part of one foot in the VC camp had a lot of Viets right in Honolulu who considered him an arch traitor both for 1Nov63 and then the events of 1975.
I don't believe the conspiracy theories beyond, maybe Oswald wasn't the shooter in the window. But, no doubt that the window in the Depository was the spot. After that, it's just too easy for a reasonably competent shooter to kill him from that window. The head shot was to a certain degree the shooter getting one last round off before the limo got too far out of range, and a certain degree of "chance" that he happened to blow Kennedy's head off.
Just because someone says they were the best doesn't mean it's true.
Using a scoped, bolt action rifle, I once shot 3 times at a deer that was running away from me through a timber cut field. One hit by itself was fatal requiring no tracking, one hit by itself would have meant tracking it for some distance but would eventually have been fatal. One hit by itself was a minor flesh wound he would have quickly recovered from.
Unlike that buck bouncing through brush, the target profile presented by JFK was essentially stationary.
I did it in possibly less than half that time on a deer running away from me across a rough timber cut field using a cheap scoped bolt action. My shots were much more difficult than those Oswald had to make.
I've heard the same story about the M-C...slug the bore to get the true diameter, and "tune" your ammo to suit it (even if it just means sorting and checking diameters of bullets on issue ammo with a mike) and the Mannlicher-Carcano can do very well.
Am I saying that that's what Oswald did? No...only that even a "POS" rifle can be a tack driver if the stars all align right. And Oswald wasn't using wartime Italian ammunition...he was using American commercial ammo.
Regarding the backspray of blood when Kennedy was shot...hasn't it been reported that he was wearing a backbrace that day, which limited his movement?
Biggest issue I have with the idea of Kennedy's assassination being some sort of "conspiracy"...if this was organized by a group with any sense of planning, why would Oswald have been "allowed" or "enabled" to be captured? Why not have the assassin disappear, leaving no evidence behind...or if a name and face were to be supplied, why not have the "assassin" conveniently killed before capture? For that matter, if it was the work of a conspiracy, why have either the President or assassin taken out in public view?
To leave a triggerman behind, alive and spewing inconvenient claims, reeks of either incredibly bad planning or "failure to think things through". And that latter element—the lack of planning beyond the "I'M GONNA BE SOMEBODY!" moment—makes me think the events in Dealey Plaza were the work of one loser, a self-declared Marxist True Believer, who had attached himself to the Cuban cause after being disillusioned by the Soviet Union, and sought to make a name for himself by lashing out on its behalf.
From the book depository Kennedy was a moving target. They actually had marksmen try and hit a Kennedy dummy in the 8.4 seconds that it took to get three shots off from that angle. Can't be done.
You might be the best marksman in the world if you think you can pull it off.
They weren't very good marksmen if they couldn't do it.
You might be the best marksman in the world if you think you can pull it off.
I could have pulled it off no problem. Thanks for the compliment but you are greatly overestimating the skill required.
I suggest you read about the "mad minute"; 15 hits from a bolt action onto a 12" round target at 300 yds within one minute. The "mad minute" was done using open sights on a rifle that weighed well over a pound more than the 6.5mm Carcano M91/38 used by Oswald. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_minute.
And remember, the distance from the window of the book depository to JFK's moving vehicle ranged from ~50 yds for the first shot to ~85yds on the final shot.
While hitting a moving target?
The target, JFK in this case was slowly moving away from the shooters position. Based on my understanding of the events, JFK would have presented Oswald with a target that was slowly shrinking while moving slightly upward and to the right in a straight, predictable line.
Oswald had all the time to make the first shot, remember, the clock starts with his first shot. Oswald fires the first shot, reloads and aims just ahead of where he predicts the target will be and fires when the target moves into his sight picture. He repeats the process for the third shot.
I'm shocked!
You'd think this was a liberal website with the STUNNING lack of gun knowledge displayed. Notice the last response to your post. "While hitting a moving target?" Amazing. At 85 yards with a rested rifle and a seated shooter and a scope????? What kind of GD fool thinks this is an "impossible" shot. Not only is it not impossible, it's easier than falling out of bed. Again, is this FR, where people are supposed to know a thing or two about guns? Also, as I pointed out earlier, when a target is moving toward your or away from you, as opposed to left and right, it's not even considered to be moving.
Here's another thing — the clock starts a millisecond AFTER the first bullet is fired. AFTER. That means Lee had 6.7 seconds to get off TWO shots, not three.
I've been at the scene of the crime. Oswald was practically on top off Kennedy when he made his shots. The best marksmen in the world could easily do it with iron sights. Oswald used a scope.
Mannlicher-Carcano not being accurate shows a lack of knowledge about firearms. Shooters are still using this rifle on ranges all around the country and getting solid hits. This is with rifles that are a least 50 years older than the one Oswald used. I use a 1917 SMLE, 95 years old, and it still hits the black at 100 yards no problem. Oswald was shooting half the distance.
Well, not everyone can be knowledgeable on all topics.
At 85 yards with a rested rifle and a seated shooter and a scope????? What kind of GD fool thinks this is an impossible shot.
Cut the guy some slack. I appreciate the many times Freepers have lent their knowledge to patiently educate me on various topics over the years for which I either had no prior knowledge or flawed knowledge.
Not only is it not impossible, its easier than falling out of bed.
I agree.
Again, is this FR, where people are supposed to know a thing or two about guns?
Evidently, it's a larger tent than we assumed.
Also, as I pointed out earlier, when a target is moving toward your or away from you, as opposed to left and right, its not even considered to be moving.
True but a minor technicality is that if shooting down at a target that is moving away from you on a flat surface, the target will appear to be slowly shrinking AND moving upward. You obviously know that but I point it out for the benefit of others who may be following this thread.
Since the road had a slight bend in it and also had a slight hill, depending on where JFK was between two points in time, he may have as you said presented a stationary AND slowly shrinking target, or one that was slowly shrinking AND moving slightly on a very predictable path. I used worst case of a target slowly shrinking and moving slightly on a very predictable path... an easy shot.
Heres another thing the clock starts a millisecond AFTER the first bullet is fired. AFTER. That means Lee had 6.7 seconds to get off TWO shots, not three.
Yes, I understand that. I previously pointed it out as well but it bears worth repeating.
You are patient... and correct.
Nope. Just another in a list of crackpots.
Was this the plan, where you had the three shooters and set up Oswald as the patsy? The shooters + spotters were taken away down to Mexico and then killed on the theory that dead men tell no tales.
"Forward and to the right! Forward and to the right!"
OK seriously, that's where the "inaccurate sights" were throwing the bullets. If LHO knew where the sights were puttimg the bullets, he has a gift - NO CORRECTIONS: Aim where you want the bullets to go, and the motion of JFK's car will take him into them. (the offset was only a couple of inches anyway)
Have YOU seen/heard the whole interview???
Anyone can give an interview. The fact is there have been a whole lot of people that have given entirely made up stories about the JFK assassination. You can't take anything seriously unless there's hard evidence. Interviews with someone claiming involvement or knowledge, without evidence to back them up, are worthless.
Madeleine Brown is no different. See: http://dperry1943.com/browns.html
Finally, I found the other person in the US that believes that.
Some people saw smoke from the area, etc. that was never truly investivated.
OK, let's not open that again.
The first paragraph in "your" article and especially the first line says it all. If Madeleine's story is hoax,then David's story matches her's!!!
yes, I am familiar with that, and I discount it as a stupid theory that sounds plausible enough to convince the gullible
Jackie Kennedy crawled onto the trunk to retrieve his brains and carried them into the hospital
It WAS like shooting fish in a barrel to the 2 or 3 shooters in the area, including the one who missed and hit the pavement and curb, and the one who missed and hit the man standing under the overpass, but not to Oswald, who didn't fire a shot.
I've seen the recreations on TV- they are what we physicists technically call "bull$hit"
yeah..."modified skull"..."near re-creation" - I can set up an experiment to give you the results I wan too...
But looked at in the Zapruder film, the brains DO NOT "jet out the front" , The governor was not covered in them, and Jackie gets onto the trunk to retrieve his brains FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE
And.. (i dont think anyone pointed this out before) one fram before the head shot becomes obvious I *THINK* I see a crater imprint on his forehead (entry) with a circular pattern forming from the shock wave through his skin
There are also shots that missed and hit the pavement and hit a man standing by the overpass - explain how Oswald did those too?
Where else but Texas could someone kill a U.S. President, then the assassin is assassinated while in police custody.
This is the definition of, "Keystone cops".
Keystone Cops in the know of the open secret!
No it's not an "Easy" shot, even with a scope, due to the fact the target was moving.
Even for experts, moving targets are always difficult when attempting to place near perfect shots. Throw in the stress of attempting to shoot a US president, actually ID'ing the target in a short time window, with the big thing on your mind being, "Escape" etc.
To be honest with you, I believe very little of the governments version of this event. ,
In fact, years later, I found I don't believe *anything* the government claims.
"Best Evidence" by David S Lifton is a very compelling read.
Uh, yes it is an easy shot, going away from a person at a slow and almost steady speed (see the film of the car coming around the corner). Also, Oswald was a steely character and didn't give a fig that it was the President—have you seen him questioned by the press in the Dallas jail? Cold, very cold.
ID'ing the target was hard? Get serious — at that range it was so obvious an ID that your comment provokes laughter all around....
Oswald was a steely character and didnt give a fig that it was the President
I'm sure there was no stress while attempting to shoot a U.S. President, and no doubt, "escape" didn't even cross his mind in those few seconds...
I had no idea he was a trained killer and such a cool and steely sniper.
In fact, based on what you say, I'm totally surprise they weren't all head shots, as it was so damn easy. I'm mean, how was it possible even one round miss the head shot?
It's so easy, I'm shocked every single round wasn't a head shot. How is that possible?
"Thanks for the expert advise."
It's "advice", Mr. Sarcastic. (no points).
You're indicating with your own words my point. He was not a trained killer—but he hit the President with 2 shots, one in the lower neck region and one in the back of the skull! Get it? It was a fairly easy kill. He did get his marksmanship award in the Marines, this we know.
And he proved himself a cold, unfeeling person each time he was recorded.
But if it were so damn easy, why weren't all rounds fired head shots? I'm mean, how was it possible, being so easy, to miss two out of three head shots?
he hit the President with 2 shots, one in the lower neck region and one in the back of the skull! Get it?
Yes I do get it.
But were 3 shots not fired??
What happened to the easy shot? And a Marine marksmen?
According to you, and a couple of others here, it's was an "Easy" target. One said it was easier than, "Falling out of bed"....lol
It was a fairly easy kill.
Oh I see, it was an easy shot, and now it's a, "fairly easy kill", yet two of the three rounds fired were not head shots.
Easy shot, I mean, "fairly easy kill"...Got it!
You've already answered your own question. Now it's time for you to listen to yourself.
Let's review: Easy shot. Not a trained sniper. Still gets 2 out of 3 shots into the head. Still think it was hard?
The missed shot could have been anything, such as the body lurching at near the same time as the trigger was pulled. And, probably, the best explanation...

Area Police
Dunkirk man facing drug charges
A Dunkirk man was taken into custody Friday by the NYS Police Fugitive Task Force in the Buffalo area after a secret grand jury warrant was released for his arrest.
The Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force along with the Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office previously presented evidence Aaron A. Davis, 43, of Dunkirk sold quantities of crack cocaine to agents on multiple occasions to a secret grand jury. A warrant was issued for the charges of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. Davis was turned over to Dunkirk Police pending arraignment in county court.
This arrest was made based on information from the public. The STRDTF and Dunkirk Police ask anyone who observes narcotics related activity to call local police or the task force at 1-800-344-8702.
Fredonia resident charged with DWI
On Tuesday at about 2:35 a.m. Fredonia-based State Police troopers charged Colton Farnham, 20, of Fredonia with driving while intoxicated. Troopers report Farnham was stopped on State Route 5 in the Town of Dunkirk for speeding and failure to dim his headlights.
Farnham's blood alcohol level was reported to be .11 percent. He is to answer charges in the Town of Dunkirk Court on May 13.
Westfield Police
Westfield Police allegedly observed a suspicious male outside a local convenience store on East Main Street Wednesday. Upon further investigation the officers allegedly found Joshua A. Powell, 27, of Mayville, in possession of two hypodermic needles and a controlled substance. Powell was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument.
He was arraigned in Westfield Village Court and sent to the Chautauqua County Jail to appear back in court at a later date.
Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office
RANDOLPH – Steph-anie L. Campbell, 35, of Cherry Creek, was charged April 16 with seven counts of petit larceny and second-degree scheme to defraud. She was arraigned in the Cattaraugus County Court and released on her own recognizance.
Campbell will appear in the Randolph Town Court for further proceedings at a later date.
EAST OTTO – The Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office investigated an incident of larcenies that occurred at a residence on Crumb Hill Road. The owners of the residence experienced theft of money from their residence consistent with days a house cleaner came to clean their house in the months of February and April.
Kylene M. Hellreigel, 28, of Dayton, was charged Friday with three counts of petit larceny and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property. She was issued appearance tickets to appear in East Otto Town Court at a later date.
Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office
ELLINGTON – Chris-topher P. Brown, 41, of Bemus Point, was charged Thursday with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, second-degree obstructing government administration and parking on the highway after a vehicle complaint on Butman Road.
According to the caller, the car was parked in the roadway, running, with no one in the vehicle or around the area. Deputies responded and found Brown slumped over in his vehicle sleeping.
Brown was allegedly intoxicated and physically resisted deputies trying to take him into custody. It was also found his license had been revoked due to previous alcohol related offenses.
Additional charges are pending the results of a chemical blood test.
KIANTONE – Kenneth M. Ruch, 53, of Celoron, was charged April 19 with driving while intoxicated, aggravated DWI with a blood alcohol content of .18 percent or higher and failure to keep right after a traffic stop on Route 60.
Deputies allegedly saw Ruch's vehicle swerve into oncoming traffic and had to swerve onto the shoulder of the road to avoid a head-on collision.
He was issued tickets to appear in the Kiantone Town Court at a later date.

Today, Secretary Clinton delivered remarks at the Haiti Donors Conference, hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC. Secretary Clinton will travel to Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago on April 16 through 19. While in Haiti, Secretary Clinton will meet with President Rene Preval to discuss issues of common concern including stability, security and assistance.
At today's conference, Secretary Clinton said: "Now, for some of us, Haiti is a neighbor, and for others of us, it is a place of historic and cultural ties. But for all of us, it is now a test of resolve and commitment. Now, some may ask, and I am sure there are some in my country and my Congress who may ask, why a small nation in the middle of the Caribbean should command so much attention. Why should countries in the Western Hemisphere, Europe, the Middle East and Asia offer assistance to Haiti in the midst of a global economic downturn (inaudible)? And I think the answer is very clear. Because what happens in Haiti affects far beyond the Caribbean and even the region. This small nation of 9 million people is on a brink. It is on a brink of either moving forward with the help of the collective community or falling further back. And it, as well as this region, will be shaped to a large extent by the decisions that we make."
The Secretary added, "Now, like many nations, Haiti struggles against crime, particularly the global scourge of drug trafficking. But reforms to improve policing, strengthening the justice system and fighting corruption are now underway. And a peacekeeping force, led so ably by Brazil, has helped to bring stability to many communities. Haiti made these strides through the efforts of its government and its citizens and many of the nations and institutions represented here. This represents the full range of resources and relationships, from businesses and universities to NGOs and religious and cultural groups, as well as committed individuals, which is at the heart of smart power.
The trajectory of progress for Haiti, however, has been undermined by the combined winds of hurricanes and the global economic recession. So Haiti is in danger of stalling. This conference gives us all an opportunity to reignite its path to progress by working as a team with Haiti at the helm to advance a comprehensive, long-term strategy for Haiti's growth, by coordinating hemispheric and international efforts, by targeting clear goals, by setting benchmarks to gauge our progress, and deploying our diverse skills and resources efficiently and effectively.
The president and the prime minister have identified what Haiti needs to stay on track. And with these priorities as our guide, we can make progress. Now is the time to step up our investment in Haiti, not just because the situation is dire and because the consequences of inaction could lead to significantly greater human suffering, but because Haiti has a real opportunity to make substantial progress. It has a plan to do so, and it has demonstrated the determination to carry it out.
Just think, for $150 we can pay to send one Haitian child to school for a year, or we can immunize 15 children. That is a tiny fraction of the costs of solving these problems if they escalate over time. The United States will target our support toward four areas that President Preval and Prime Minister Pierre-Louis have requested, all of which are essential for national and regional progress. First, the Haitian people need and deserve to be secure. They must be able to travel safely to work and school, and participate in civic lives without fear of violence. Second, the country needs stronger infrastructure, particularly roads, which are the circulatory system of any robust economy. And going along with the infrastructure needs is the need for jobs. So we can accomplish two things at once: putting people to work, building roads and other infrastructure throughout the country.
Third, last year's hurricanes blew a hole in the government's budget. Now Haiti is facing a huge deficit which will make it harder for them to meet their own goals and the needs of their people. Their debt obligations further constrain their ability to lay the groundwork for the future. And fourth, agriculture – you heard the prime minister refer to it – once again, providing a strong agricultural base for the people of Haiti to become more self-sufficient, as well as to move toward reforestation as part of that agricultural initiative, will give Haiti tools for growth it desperately needs. Now on each of these issues, we will lend our assistance and we seek partners with other nations to maximize our collective impact."
Further, Secretary Clinton said, "Now, this work is not only a matter for governments, but it is a mission for the people of our country. I've heard from many individuals and groups who care deeply about Haiti, but they don't know how to invest their time and money in a way to make a real impact. We will, through our government, help to create a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that the Haitian Diaspora and the United States can contribute to. And we will help coordinate other NGOs, particularly those that have been started by Haitian Americans who want to give back and are looking for the best way forward."
At the conclusion of her remarks, Secretary Clinton said, "Every poor nation that has worked hard to gain a foothold in the global economy that has been knocked off their footing is looking to see what we can do together. I'm confident that we will make not only significant pledges here, but we will match those pledges by our follow-up efforts and our coordination, and that we will demonstrate to ourselves as well as to the people of Haiti and far beyond that we can, working together, make a significant difference."

Dear Hillary,
I have a blog about you. Tonight, I posted this video there. I want to share the text I posted along with it. Here's what I wrote:
"Having lived in Haiti from 1972-1982, not as a tourist or American official, but among the Haitians earning Haitian wages, having studied at the Universitã d'ãtat d'Haiti, and having adopted Haiti as my home for that period, I care deeply about what happens in Haiti. In all of those years, we were hit by only one hurricane. Last year, Haiti was hit by two hurricanes and two severe tropical storms that decimated the plantations, rice paddies, and orchards that sustain life on the island, washed away the few decent roads and many bridges, and, because of deforestation in the mountains, washed away and killed hundreds of people and countless livestock in the torrents that rush to the sea whenever the rains are heavy.
The plans Hillary outlines above are brilliantly conceived and sequenced -- they are so brilliant, in fact, that if Haitians heard this speech, they would want to elect her their president, demonstrating their level of advancement beyond our own political development in our country.
I am proud of Hillary every day (and possessive -- no, Haiti, she's ours so you can't have her), but I am especially uplifted today by this speech. Hillary hit every single mark here, every strike a bulls eye, and spoke so impressively (without a teleprompter) that I could burst with love and pride, and I could cry that she is not at the controls of our own dear land."
Really, Hillary, this was superb. I wonder if you have any idea how exceptional it was and you are.
Ilia in Puerto Rico writes:
Haiti has all the potential to move forward away from long years of stagnation. All could be achieve if the Haitian goverment is honest and is willing to help its own people. Is time for progress. Secretary Clinton's visit is a great stepping stone.

Indulge your inner goddess with a pair of metallic gold Naot's Rongo shoes. The shimmer gives this summertime footwear a uniquely dynamic appearance, while the orthotic features provide arch support and lasting comfort. With a soft leather inner lining, a padded back and a fully adjustable front ankle strap, your can enjoy a custom fit that is free of irritation. On top of all that, the cork footbed conforms to your foot's structure, is covered in suede for maximum comfort and manufactured to eliminate odors that build up from perspiration and moisture!
Naot Rongo Brass/Pewter Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
This Style is part of the Koru collection
This Style has a medium fit
This Style is uses the Koru replacement footbed
This is excellently made.I love these shoes! The fit is so much like the Kirei just like what the other reviewers said.I highly recommend this product if you are looking for something you can wear all day long.
This shoe is similar in fit the to Naot Kirei, but with more ventilation. It has an adjustable velcro closure that has stood up well under frequent use. The Kirei has been enormously comfortable for work, and walking around the city, and I was happy to find this "summer weight" version.
I have a narrow foot so was skeptical these would fit but the great staff at the Little Italy store encouraged me to try. I wear an 8 N and the size 39 fits me perfectly. I love the roomy toe box and yet I can adjust the strap RO hold perfectly on my foot and heel. Mi can walk for literally hours in these shoes, had no break-in time and I plan to buy a pair in black also. The Metal/Mirror leather goes with almost everything however.
I can honestly say this was the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn! They are light and form to your feet making it feel like you arent wearing shoes, but have the support you need. The leather is already soft so there is no break in time. The cute patent design makes them a little more "dressy" but its little enough that they can still be an everyday shoe.
