Recovering from the Year of Sequestration
July 10, 2013
After a string of federal fiscal fiascos, people working on budget issues in Washington, DC have had a few months of "regular order." It's unlikely to last, but we wanted to take the opportunity to run through the current state of the big budget and how it's impacting decision-making on homelessness programs. We'll also speculate on where we could go between now and the end of the year. This information will be useful to people who are communicating with their congressional offices about the federal government's role as a partner in ending homelessness.
We are well into fiscal year (FY) 2013, the "Year of Sequestration," but also a year that followed two previous years of harsh cuts to HUD. Homelessness providers have now been hit with the 25 percent cut in Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), applied in most cases to state and local fiscal years that began on July 1, a few days ago. Later in the year, communities will have to grapple with Continuum of Care applications based on allocations that will be around 7 or 8 percent short of what's necessary to renew all grants at current levels. While the homelessness programs got better treatment than most other HUD programs, they were swept up in the big movement to cut federal discretionary spending. Now we're working on getting that capacity back.
For FY 2014, the budget process began with both House and Senate passing measures known as Budget Resolutions, setting overall spending levels; and then with the Appropriations Committees in both House and Senate announcing how much money each subcommittee would have to work with. Both House and Senate proposed changes to the Budget Control Act, the law from 2009 that imposed sequestration and that set spending limits for discretionary spending in the defense and non-defense categories for ten years. The Senate measures do away with the sequestration-level cuts for FY 2014 and beyond, increasing both defense and nondefense spending above the 2013 level. The House essentially does away with sequestration-level cuts for the defense department for 2014 and beyond, but makes up for it with even more cuts to nondefense programs.
In June, both the House and the Senate appropriations committees rolled out proposed bills for HUD funding. The funding levels for HUD's homelessness programs illustrate the impact of the larger budget issues. In both bills, HUD's Homeless Assistance account is treated as among the highest priorities – people around the country have been effective at letting decision-makers know that these programs serve the hardest-hit Americans, they are impactful and cost-effective, and they have bipartisan support. That level of priority in the Senate translated into $2.261 billion, enough to renew Continuum of Care programs at the 2012 level of impact, to return ESG to its 2012 level of $286 million, and to add $50 million in new ESG funding for rapid re-housing programs.
In the House bill, homelessness programs received $2.088 billion. On paper, this would be the highest level ever. Because of the well-known accounting problems associated with expiring multiyear grants, however, it would not be enough to return the Continuum of Care program to its 2012 level of impact, but would leave it barely above the post-sequestration 2013 level discussed above. ESG would be left at the 2013 level. This is substantially better than the fate of most HUD programs in the House bill, but that would only mean more people with nowhere but the homelessness programs to turn.
So what's next? A high school civics textbook would tell you that once the bills pass their respective chambers, a conference committee of House and Senate members would meet to reach an agreement on a final version. That won't work this time – because the differences in the House and Senate T-HUD bills reflect higher-level disagreements over the total amount of domestic spending, an agreement would require a deal on these bigger budget issues. Such an agreement would need to involve the top leadership of both parties in both chambers, as well as the President.
On funding bills, there will probably be some agreement. Without one, we get a government shutdown, as happened last when Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton squared off over spending in 1995. That happens very seldom, because the consequences can be very severe; and because there's an easy default position – a "full-year CR," or Continuing Resolution, keeping funding for nearly all programs at the previous year's level, with the exception of a small number of "anomalies" that receive extra funding. That would mean a repeat of FY 2013 post-sequestration funding levels. Homeless Assistance has consistently been treated as an anomaly in full-year CRs because of the expiring renewal issue, but even so, in those circumstances funding along the lines of the Senate bill or the President's budget would be difficult to obtain.
Another possibility is a bigger budget deal that would undo the sequestration-level cuts in domestic (as well as defense) discretionary spending and make up for it with other deficit reduction measures, in taxes and in entitlement programs. Because the sequestration cuts applied to defense as well as nondefense spending, they were supposed to provide incentive for members of Congress from a broad spectrum of ideologies to agree on something different, and that may still happen. There have been a number of proposals along those lines, although little negotiation. But later this year the federal government will run up against the debt ceiling once again, and that could be the occasion for a harder look at long-term federal deficits and short-term needs. In that context, any kind of conclusion is possible.
In any deal on the big budget, there are two key questions for homeless people and their allies: Will the way be opened for funding to be improved for the programs at HUD, VA, HHS, and elsewhere that help the lowest-income Americans have a place to live? And, will the specific entitlements that are most important to those Americans (Medicaid, SSI, TANF, for example) be protected? It will be essential for everyone to pay close attention to what federal decision-makers are doing, in order to ensure the answers to these questions are "yes."

They are very pretty to look at, but I personally don't like fragrance in a splash form.

Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve my or other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
I love my bee bottles too! Thanks, Primrose. Great to hear a british accent with the ad, I almost expected a french one
Also, it is my understanding that Guerlain made its debut in 1828 in the Hotel Le Meurice, which catered to English visitors. I think they made toiletries and bespoke fragrances. The hotel even today provides Penhaligon's toiletries for their guests. How English is that?
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
"...And so it was in England that Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain learnt the rudiments of his art. After medical and chemical studies, he set himself up in Paris, where initially he imported products from England. Everything English was fashionable at that time in France and real English perfumes were all the rage. Such distinction and refinement were exuded by a Prince of Wales' Bouquet, a Royal Extract of Flowers, an Esterhazy Mixture or a simple Spirit of Reseda. Then, little by little, he began to prepare his own bouquets, distilling the herbs and plants himself in a small workshop, at the corner of the Avenue Kleber and the Place de l'Etoile, along Paris' old fortifications."
Sounds like Guerlain has always been rather cosmopolitan
Nice bottle but it's all about the juice..unless you are bottle collector.
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Thanks for the info and happy anniversary (even happy birthday, since fragrance is, in my opinion close to a living creation) to one of the most iconic bottle designs in fragrance history (way up high among the ranks with the rectangular No. 5 bottle, several artisan Creed atomizers, the checkered/plaid patterned Dior bottles and a few more along these lines).
I don't much like splash bottles either.... but I still love to have the bottle. Such a gorgeous looking one!

Treasuries Sink on Payrolls Data
Payrolls Friday proved a rough ride for Treasuries, which tumbled out of the saddle and could not get back up after the positive headline print.
The economy created 57,000 new jobs in September, well above median estimates of a 20,000 decline, and combined with an upward revision in August suggested that the economy was gaining traction. The unemployment rate dipped to 6.1% and average hourly earnings fell 0.1%.
The much-feared benchmark revision estimates for March, 2003, came in much more benign at -145,000 than the +600,000 that had been rumored, but the market still rolled over on unwinding of leveraged long positions.
The benchmark 10-year yield vaulted over 30 basis points to 4.21% in the past two sessions, after hedge funds failed to trigger a mortgage-related duration buying spree earlier in the week.
The December bond closed down nearly 2-1/2 points at 108-27, discouraged by no profit-taking rebound into the close at all. The yield curve flattened, with the spread between 2-year notes and 30-year bonds one bp narrower at +346 bp. The dollar and stocks rebounded, while gold slumped nearly 5%.

Hunting bow donated to CLC's Humphrey Center
Brainerd woman injured in two-vehicle accident
A 27-year-old Brainerd woman was injured after being involved in a two-vehicle accident at 12:19 p.m. Friday at the 400 block of South Fifth Street near the Post Office, reported the Brainerd Police Department.
Jessica Schwegel was taken to Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd where she was treated and released.
The second driver, Kathleen Badgerow, 70, Baxter, was not injured.
Firefighters respond
The Brainerd Fire Department responded to a call at 9:19 a.m. Monday at Brainerd High School South Campus, 400 Quince St. It was reported that people were working on a snowmobile and the exhaust caused the smoke detectors to go off.
Bow donated to Humphrey Center
An Ojibwe hunting bow that once belonged to the late Pete Humphrey has been placed in the Skone Family Conservatory housing the Humphrey Center for American Indian Studies at Central Lakes College.
LaVonne Danzl, whose late husband Bob had received the six-foot basswood hunting bow as a gift from his canoeing pal, Humphrey, recently donated the bow to the Humphrey Center so that it may be displayed along with the many other artifacts housed in the facility adjacent to the Jon Hassler Library at CLC.
Humphrey had bequeathed his collection to the CLC Foundation in 1995.
Bob Danzl died in 1999.
LaVonne Danzl served a six-year term on the CLC Foundation Board of Directors and continues to serve on the Scholarship Selection Committee.
The latest addition to the conservatory is in line with expansion plans, said Mary Sam, CLC director of intercultural services, diversity and tribal relations.
"Our long-term plan is to generate dollars to fund building interactive kiosks within the Center, a smart board for showing American Indian films and teaching for all ages, and a hands-on area that will allow guests to learn about American Indian crafts," Sam said.
Total cost of this undertaking will be about $45,000.
Sam said the goal is to use the center as a cradle to college learning and community engagement on American Indian issues.

Walgreen (WAG), the nation's largest drug store chain, and European partner Alliance Boots announced a 10-year deal with AmerisourceBergen (ABC) that includes taking a minority stake in the pharmaceutical wholesaler.
The two enter the deal with the right to buy up to a 7% stake in the pharmaceutical distribution company on the open market. Warrants for future share purchases could bring that position up to 23%. Walgreen's current contract with drug distributor Cardinal Health (CAH) will end in August.
Walgreen shares were up 6.6% intraday on the stock market today. AmerisourceBergen shares jumped 7.6% intraday. Cardinal shares plummeted 6.9%.
"We believe this relationship will create a wide range of opportunities and innovations in the rapidly changing U.S. and global health-care environment that we expect will benefit all of our stakeholders," Walgreen CEO Greg Wasson said in a statement.
AmerisourceBergen said the expanded reach the Walgreen-Boots deal gives it will add $28 billion in revenue and approximately 20 cents in earnings per share for its fiscal 2014. Last year, AmerisourceBergen earned $2.77 per share on $79.6 billion in sales. Walgreen will appoint up to two new board additions to AmerisourceBergen's nine-member board, if it exercises all of the warrant to purchase future shares.
Also Tuesday, Walgreen reported fiscal Q2 earnings. Earnings per share climbed 23% to 96 cents. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting 94 cents. Revenue edged slightly lower to $18.6 billion, just missing analysts' forecast for $18.7 billion.
Cardinal said the loss of the Walgreen relationship won't affect fiscal 2013. It plans to offer more guidance on 2014 when it offers 2013 Q3 results. But it said it expects its guidance for the fiscal year to be similar to the $3.42 to $3.50 earning per share its predicts for 2013. Analysts currently expect $3.49 for 2013 and $3.81 for fiscal 2014.
"Our portfolio has considerable balance, and we have prepared strategies to mitigate the impact of a Walgreens nonrenewal," Cardinal CEO George Barrett said in a statement.

What can be used to prime cells before placing larvae inside in the place of royal jelly?
What can be used to prime cells before placing larvae inside in the place of royal jelly?
plain yogurt
Any plain yogurt? How much?
The bees are going to change it out so just enough to float the larva.
I use Publix brand plain yogurt sometimes. Not plugging Publix but I like theirs the best when I eat what's left in the cup! A little tiny dab is all you need to float the larva off the grafting needle and I just use my needle to transfer the yogurt to the cell cups; check some newly hatched larva and you'll see that they're floating in a tiny puddle of Royal Jelly. If you can get some of that RJ on your grafting needle along with the larva there's no need for priming the cells.
I used to use royal jelly. Now I use nothing. Nothing works better.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I'm with Michael, nothing works best.
I also find if I prime my cups with royal jelly I keep forgetting which one I'm up too because the lavae are so small it's very difficult to see them once they are on the jelly so I was either doubling up or missing cells completely
We usually dry graft, but at times the heat or wind can cause drying if we have a lot of cells to graft... we use enclosed trailers in the yards to graft in, but it is not always that big of a help... during these times we use pure royal jelly added to each cell with one of our syringes or mixed with a tiny bit of tap water and added by swabbing each cell cup with a q-tip. This is just to keep the larvae moist in tough conditions, and I agree with MB and Frazz, they all come out the same... The nurse bees will completely remove anything that you put in the cell and then start feeding the larvae fresh jelly... so you need to use as little a possible...
I was surprised at my test results. On the same frame of grafts I had better acceptance dry grafting vs priming with fresh royal jelly. I was even more surprised that the bees liked the JZBZ plastic cups better than wax. These fascinating creatures keep me in research mode. Maybe after a couple decades I'll have a firm grasp on them! Lol!
Since its so hot here i have had to reevaluate dry grafting..the larvae just plain dry out too fast. So heres what I do-
I run the cell bars under the kitchen faucet about 15 minutes before the graft. I shake all the water out so there is just a film on everything. Then I go and get the stock, and graft in. FIW the Baton Rouge bee lab uses water to prime.

I am the mother of one of Georges victims and I can assure you that my heart is broken. The little bit of time this monster got in the big house will never, ever be enough punishment to pay for what he has done to my beautiful daughter and the other girls. HELL IS TOO GOOD FOR HIM BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THAT IS WHERE HE IS GOING!!!
I cant begin to put into words or begin to explain to you the damage this monster has done to my daughters life, my life, not to mention the destruction he has caused to our whole family. Please dont criticize these girls until you know the facts. The facts are worse than you could ever imagine in you wildest dreams. You are trying to defend a despicable monster that used drugs as his weapon and made these girls defenseless. They had no control what so ever over the situation.
I have read many of the horrible things you all have wrote about my beautiful daughter and the other girls over the past year, and it really hurt. If this had happened to you, your daughter or your sister, I can assure you, that you would not be saying these horrible, despicable, wicked, disgraceful, outrageous things.
None of the girls deserve your criticism and horrible treatment. I cant believe you are being so cruel and to be honest, I cant believe that such cruel, mean people exist. It is very obvious that you are not intelligent enough to write a correct sentence let alone build a defense for that malicious monster. His expensive attorney couldnt even build a defense for him.
Now do yourself a favor and go GET A LIFE. These girls have to begin their healing and rebuild their lives. I pray that God will continue to be with them and I pray that He will be with you as you move on to more productive things in this world. I Forgive you!!!
A Broken hearted Mother
#23 Oct 15, 2008
He deserves a longer sentence. I am sorry for his victims and his own kids. Can you imagine having to face the rest of their lives with a father who did this? They seemed so talented at the recitals with the little boy always being in the spotlight. All these must have left such a nasty taste in their mouths. Idiot parents who think nothing of committing a crime, think first of your own children and how your actions will harm them.
#24 Oct 15, 2008
I am very sorry for you and your daughter for having to go through this. I cringe at the thought of you reading some of the comments that have been posted about the victims over the last year. Sometimes I don't like these "blogs", people think they can post anything they like without realizing the damage that it does.
I only had one child at Georgio's in one class (Hip Hop) because of other friends also going. I was always there and could see that she was not trying her best when it came to the dance routines, she'd ignore Georgio. I asked her to respect the man for this was his life and expertise. I asked her to always say goodbye to him and thank him for teaching her. Little did I know that she was much more a judge in character then I was. I hate now that I have to question myself every time that a new adult figure enters her life and I'm sure for a moment she remembers being right about an adult's character and probably wonders why I would let her associate with someone that could do this to young girls or any girl for that matter. This was an adult, married, with two children. How could he do this to his own family? Did he even think of his daughter, what would he do if this happened to her? What message does this send to his son? Hopefully to treat women with respect and not drug them, over power them, and take advantage.
I hope that you, your daughter, and family will be ok. Take care.

#29 Oct 15, 2008
i dont know but if your daughter is the one who said it happened 50 times how could he make someone do that and how could he make two girls have sex with each other no drug can do that no man can do that and why would she take drugs wasnt she taught not to ever do drugs
#30 Oct 15, 2008
After reading your tirade of posts we know who is sick and angry. You need to get your facts straight too! You don't know as much as you think you do.

#31 Oct 15, 2008
ARE YOU GOD YOU OBVIOUSLY THINK SO SINCE YOU KNOW WHO IS GOING TO HELL OR HEAVAN LET ME ASK YOU do you know the facts they used to brag about doing drugs etc so being withtime g was not the first time doing drugs not the first having sex and definatly not the first time having sex with another girl sick sick sick how is your life or hers ruined did you lose every thing everything everything you must be delusional
#32 Oct 15, 2008
"A no contest plea, while not technically a guilty plea, has the same immediate effect as a guilty plea, and is often offered as a part of a plea bargain.[1]"
Again, read this REALLY WELL!!!
INTERPRETATION: He did not verbally come out and confess to his crime, BUT..... a NO CONTEST PLEA "HAS THE SAME IMMEDIATE EFFECT AS A GUILTY PLEA" Bottom line.......HE ENTERED A PLEA BARGAIN like most criminals so they can get a SHORTER SENTENCE.
Oh by the way, MOST countries DO NOT ALLOW a NO CONTEST PLEA.....you have to state whether you are GUILTY or NOT GUILTY.

oh he still did not plead guilty
#35 Oct 15, 2008
ACtuall i am pretty sure it was way more than 8 only a certain number came forward. I had called the Lake Mary police myself and they never returned my calls probably because i was over 18. But, i can almost guarantee that way more than 7 girls had sex with and were manipulated by Georgio!!!!!!!!!!
#36 Oct 15, 2008
good try they were over 18 when the charges were filed
next time think before you type
#37 Oct 15, 2008
She could have meant that it happened to her when she was over 18 - not just that she was over 18 when she contacted the police.
Maybe you should take some of your own advise and think before YOU type.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harshwords, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. instead be kind to each other tenderhearted, forgiving one another just as God through christ has forgiven you . Ephesians 4:31-32 If you forgive those who sin against you your heavenly father will forgive you but if you refuse to forgive others your father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15Do not judge others and you will not be judged do not condemn others or it will come back against you forgive others and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37 In case anyone is wondering this is GODS LAW ask yourself as a person truly ask yourself if someone you knew such as a friend or family member or even one of your own children were being accused of doing or associated with doing something wrong would you lead a campaign of war against that person and their family and friends. how wrong is that ? we all never had a chance to hear both sides of this story we have only heard one side and the crowd has decided to believe in that one is that fair? one person is being blamed for all of this. blame should not be pointed in only one direction it takes more than one person to make these mistakes even the parents should take a look at themselves because obviously their parenting skills were not at their best so there is blame all around not just toward one single individual .now lets remember there are a lot of people saying horrible things about georgio but there have been thousands that have said and still say good things about him everyone seems to have forgotten how many good things he has done for the community for the children for the parents and for the families that knew him. he did not just teach children to dance he gave them self confidence he made them feel good about themselves with dances and shows to be proud of he also helped families with their personal problems (yes you know who you are) maybe he should air all your dirty laundry but he is not like that he has given us his talent his ideas his kindness his advice and his heart one day everyone will remember what a great person is was is and will be now everyone can move forward with their lives learn from their mistakes and ask God for his forgiveness TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART SEEK HIS WILL IN ALL YOU DO AND HE WILL SHOW YOU WHICH PATH TO TAKE proverbs 3:5-6 this is the reason georgio took a plea he is taking the path God has chosen so his family the girls accusing him and their families do not have to endure any more pain and no he is still not guilty of these crimes against him by the way we are all human beings in this world and we are all Gods children and he loves each and everyone of us in the end good prevails over evil and only God can make that final decision. there are many of us who will miss him children and adults we will remember all the kindness he has shown us

The Lake Mary Police Department has many FACTS and were fully prepared to go to trial with them. Do you not think that this was investigated? I guess you didn't read the entire police report and saw the evidence that they had against him...the hotel where he took one of the girls to...the porn movies they watched...the front desk clerk gave a positive ID complete with the title of the movie. This is just one example. There are so many more. So many girls had the same story, most of these girls came forward without knowing who else had come forward first. They didn't "get together" and make their stories identical.
If George was innocent he would of fought tooth and nail and welcomed a trial to clear his name. An innocent person would not SEND HIMSELF TO JAIL, this is the most stupid thing that I have ever heard.
George is guilty and on November 10th he will get his chance to say it and hear his fate. Goodbye!
#40 Oct 15, 2008
Oh no, quite the contrary! I am not sick and nor are any of the other parents. For what George did, he deserves to be listed as a SEXUAL OFFENDER because this is exactly what he did!
#41 Oct 16, 2008
You do know that if a person is a thief they are also a liar - they go hand in hand. When they steal they will deny it so they don't get caught. Well, if a person is a sexual predator they are usuall a nice, friendly, caring person. They go hand in hand as well.This is the way to make people put their guard down. "No, he would never do that, he is such a nice man and SO good with the children!" RIGHT. That's exactly what he wanted - the acceptance of the parents and the trust of the kids. That's why he "did so many good things for the community for the children for the parents and for the families that knew him" - he had ulterior motives; well calculated. How many "pillars of a community" (not that he was) turn out to be rapists, abusers, molesters, etc. There is no forgiveness for what he's done. he should have known better. Once is a mistake. Two, three..fifty times is shear disregard and lack of respect for the girls involved and their families. He's a moron - always was, always will be. He should thank his lucky stars every day in prison that he didn't come across a victim with a father like me!! He would have wanted to be off the streets for the MAXIMUM amount of time - nice and safe. Yes, he would have been safer in prison.

What Is a Manager?
Submitted by:

Report this Essay
What is a manager? It is difficult, if not impossible, to come up with a textbook answer to this question. Everyone has their own views and opinions. Much of these views come from their personal experience with management, either as a member of it or a subordinate. Every manager's job is unique. What a store manager's duties are at one store may not be the same as what a store manager does at another store. The roles of a manager are many and at times can change from one second to the next. So, what exactly is a manager? Here are some examples of what a manager is and what they do.
A manager is a person tasked with overseeing one or more employees or departments to ensure these employees or departments carry out assigned duties as required. A manager makes sure the lines are straight. A manager is an individual who delegates tasks to others so as to make sure it is easier for them as far as manual labor responsibilities go. A manager is someone who oversees everything inside and outside the business and the everyday working of each department as well as everyone who is scheduled to work. The manager has a bigger caseload to deal with than everybody else within the company. A manager is more of a boss who only manages—he does not want to be seen bending low. He works to put credit to his name. A manager is the one who develops a plan. A manager's role is to maintain a productive atmosphere while conserving cost. A manager is the communication link between the employees and upper management.
They are the boss, the director, the paper pushers, the one's who make the plans and then give the orders to those below them on the totem pole. A manager's role is to provide proper oversight and direction to a group that is trying to accomplish a certain task. They may also act as a mediator between those that are under them. Managers may need to be called upon at times to be disciplinarians or even morale boosters. In short, the manager's biggest duty is to make sure...

Sunset Park is a green and diverse Brooklyn neighborhood that has a great mix of real estate for sale and rent. Nineteenth century rowhouses in pale brick, limestone and brownstone are located on tree-lined streets that descend down to the water. Setting these properties apart from the rest of "brownstone Brooklyn" is affordability.

Company news: Biogen Idec, Merck
Merck's cholesterol-fighting ezetimibe/atorvastatin combination is once again headed to the FDA for review. The company announced the resubmission Thursday, and noted that it had complied with the terms of a Complete Response Letter it received from the regulator last year. Merck expects the review to happen within the first half of this year. Approval would enable to company to pursue the equivalent of a brand extension, since it uses ezetimibe, also known by the brand name Zetia, which officially has four more years until its US patent expires, although the company noted in its Q3 report that an agreement could allow a generic as early as 2016.
Patients with consumer-driven health plans are high users of mobile digital health tools, according to a study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, reported MobiHealth News. These plans place a greater financial responsibility on patients as a way to shape behavior. Researchers also said that the plan design has had a limited impact on patient behavior, in that CDHP members are more likely to ask about generics and find out if a treatment is covered prior to receiving it.
The American Journal of Pathology has a new editor in chief. The publication announced Thursday that neuropathologist Kevin A. Roth took the helm on New Year's Day. In addition to publishing his very first paper in AJP while a graduate student, Roth served as an Associate Editor for AJP since 2003 and as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry from 2006 to 2010.

Director: John Landis
Writer: Timothy Harris and Herschel Weingrod
Stars: Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ralph Bellamy
Quotable: "It ain't cool being no jive turkey so close to Thanksgiving."
Fun Fact: The male leads were originally set for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, but when Eddie Murphy took over for Pryor, he requested that Wilder be replaced. The reason: He didn't want people thinking he was a Pryor wannabe.
The idea behind Trading Places is pretty brilliant: Two rich scumbags conduct an experiment that results in wealthy Caucasian square (Dan Aykroyd) nosediving into poverty and corruption while a streetwise, and black, hustler (Eddie Murphy) becomes rich.
The amount of social satire at that concept's disposal is infinite, and John Landis' hysterical goldmine of a film capitalizes on that potential without feeling too preachy. Instead, he takes full advantage of working with Murphy and Aykroyd at their best; they're so good together it's a shame that they didn't revisit their ebony-and-ivory chemistry multiple times, à la Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.
Considering that neither Murphy or Aykroyd are doing anything remotely funny these days, why not start now? Just as long as its not Norbit's Christmas With the Kranks.

Tuesday, October 30, 2012—Reprinted from Tri-City Voice.
Based loosely on the "Peanuts" characters grown to high school age, "Dog Sees God" takes the comic strip and turns it on its ear.

Directed by veteran stage performer and director Michael Navarra, the play is hilarious at times, relatable at others, and frankly…a lot like high school. This production is for mature audiences only, due to profane and obscene language, explicit sexual references, and violence.
Performances will be held November 2-3, 8-10, and 15-17 at 8 p.m. The Saturday, November 10 performance will be ASL Interpreted. For tickets, call the Box Office at (510) 659-6031 or buy online at www.smithcenter.com.

The human-rights abuse that dare not speak its name is finally being taken seriously. The Obama administration is directing that foreign-aid efforts be tied to fighting discrimination against homosexuals. British Prime Minister David Cameron also recently threatened to cut aid to countries that don't recognize gay rights. Canada has laudably spoken out against such anti-gay laws, but could do more.
In October, Canada was part of a group of Commonwealth countries that tried, and failed, to convince other member states to rescind anti-gay laws. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird's recent criticism of a new Nigerian anti-gay law that would make same-sex unions punishable by 14 years in jail similarly had no impact. While it is good that Canada is on the record as opposing such human-rights abuses, it should consider using other tools at its disposal, such as tying some aid to reforms.
In a recent speech, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared the struggle for homosexual equality to the struggle for women's rights and racial equality, adding that "gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world," and "it should never be a crime to be gay."
The U.S. and U.K. measures were in response to a June resolution by the United Nations Human Rights Council that condemned anti-gay discrimination. The resolution was fiercely opposed by some African and Middle Eastern governments that still actively prosecute men and women for their sexual preferences.
Five countries still have laws that make homosexuality punishable by death – Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen – and 76 other countries criminalize consensual homosexual practices in some fashion. As an example of the latter, two Russian regions have laws that extinguish fundamental rights of homosexuals, such as to assemble and exercise free speech.
The world has, over several decades, made important strides toward improving the status of women, protecting indigenous peoples and eliminating explicitly racist regimes. Homosexuals also merit protection. While individual gays can be punished, homosexuality will persist. Denying the existence of homosexuality is to deny something of the essence of humanity.
Canada, which protects gay rights at home, should do so vigorously abroad. Such cruel and repressive laws should be strongly opposed by the global community, and states that practice them should not just be singled out, but made to pay a price for their intolerance.Report Typo/Error

What Do Dreamers and Rodney King Have in Common?
After ten years of congressional stonewalling on the Dream Act, the President acted -- and for many of the undocumented students affected, Obama's executive order is akin to a modern-day version of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Of course, just like anything else done by the President (or his foes), it was a political move. But so, too, is the act of dehumanization: For only when people are dehumanized can they be viewed in the eyes of the law as less than human, as less deserving of their full human rights.
The death of Rodney King reminds us of this.
While seemingly unrelated, dehumanization is the common thread that runs through both the Rodney King and Dreamer narratives.
The lack of justice for King triggered an urban rebellion, unprecedented in U.S. history in its scope and rage. What could trigger such unadulterated violence?
The answer is very simple: King's beating was not at all uncommon. People of color understood that kind of violence when the saw it play out on their TV sets. The King beating embodied a violence that has been systemic throughout history, and often utilized as a means of control. That it was videotaped is what made it unique.
Such violence can only be employed successfully if a people or population is considered less than human. In history, this was usually accomplished through the use of religious or "God-mandated" ideas; i.e., Providence and Manifest Destiny. The Doctrine of Discovery served the same purpose. Since no "human beings" (read Christians) existed on the American continent, Christians were free to violently take the land. Not being Christian was the same as not being human.
In examining history, can we honestly say that these ideas have gone away completely?
In 1992, the King trial only confirmed what men of color have been complaining about for generations – that they are constantly being beat down and treated as less than a human being, sans justice.
Like many, I am no stranger to that reality. I lived through something similar in 1979 in East Los Angeles. What made my case unique is that despite being brutally beaten and falsely arrested, I actually won my trial, not once but twice.
At the moment, we're all digesting President Obama's immigration announcement. It appears that one of the ugliest chapters in modern human history is about to end.
And yet those increasingly familiar voices, those commonly heard on AM talk radio and in the halls of power, are shouting at the top of their lungs, accusing the President of committing treason. They are determined to not only derail the President and his plan, but also to oppose any policy that treats undocumented immigrants with the dignity and respect of full human beings.
Only when dehumanization becomes normalized can inhumane policies and decisions be justified. Those opposed to the president's announcement long ago normalized the view that undocumented immigrants are either criminals or terrorists, and certainly something less than human.
The familiar refrain of the anti-immigrant bloc has long been: "What don't you understand about the word 'illegal'?" Apparently, their own lack of humanity blinds them to the concept. Many of these young students, who will now be able to continue on with their studies and work in 2-year increments, were brought to this country as infants or very small children. They know no country other than this one. But forget compassion; let's examine the law. To commit a crime, one needs to be conscious that one is committing a crime. A 3-month old infant cannot legally commit a crime, therefore it is impossible for that child to ever be prosecuted or branded as a criminal.
In making his announcement, the President made the mistake of pandering to the critics of immigration reform, by saying that these young people came to this country through "no fault of their own." Implicit in his words was the idea that it is the parents who are at fault -- even though the moral lesson we learn from history is that parents attempting to better the lives of their children are not committing a crime, but rather, following the natural laws of survival.
Congress will soon have another opportunity to treat both the students and their parents as full human beings by passing the Dream Act later this year. To do anything less will be to abscond from their responsibility. The time has come for Congress to resolve the nation's immigration issues. But human beings, not walls or the military, have to be at the center of any proposed solution. Failure to do so will simply prolong the human crisis.

While eating previous, on many occasion,the moussaka of Astoria, I never knew that it was, famous in, Manhattan, or perhaps, all the world? Sometimes to me, unless I drink the ouzo first and after, it doesnt make a wonderful, impression. Perhaps of the taste, it is my mistake? I will make a test, soon, of all the moussaka in Astoria, and hope some Manhattan people here, can help in this moussaka, quest.

Qatar is likely to be selected as one of the few countries for the launch of the exclusive new Ferrari Sergio designed by Pininfarina, the president of Pininfarina told Arabian Business.
"We are thinking of taking the new Sergio to Qatar. We will show the new Ferrari Sergio only in preselected countries and Qatar could be one of them," Paolo Pininfarina, president of the company that bears his name, said to Arabian Business, adding that by January 2014 the new Ferrari Sergio could be seen on the roads of Doha.
Only six units of the new Ferrari Sergio are going to be produced, as the car is a tribute to Sergio Pininfarina, Paolo's father, who celebrated six decades of collaboration with Ferrari. Each car will have various bespoke features, making each model truly unique.
"My father would be proud of this concept car", said Pininfarina. "It expresses the aesthetic values that always inspired him: the purity of the lines, the harmony of form, and balance.
"Furthermore, he would be happy with this latest concept on Ferrari base, a brand to which we are related by a history that has helped define the most beautiful cars of all time in an evolution that has lasted 60 years and shows no sign of ending".
The mechanics of the Ferrari Sergio are basically made up of a Ferrari 458 Spider with new carbon fibre bodywork which is ten percent lighter and allows the car to accelerate from 0-100km per hour in less than 3.4 seconds.
Qatar is found of its high-end luxury motors and earlier this year it was announced W Motors, the Beirut-based manufacturer of a $3.4m sports car, will be moving its production operation from Italy to the UAE and Qatar.
The LykanHypersport 2013 car, the first luxury sports car to be designed and produced by an Arab, was showcased at the Qatar Motor Show in January 29, the Daily Star newspaper reported.
Ralph Debbas, chairman and chief operating officer of the company, who has produced seven models of the new sports car, previously designed for luxury car makers like Land Rover and Aston Martin before starting W Motors in 2006, according to the newspaper.
The LykanHypersport features LED lights encrusted with 15 carats of diamonds, a gold-stitched leather interior, a reverse door-opening system. The car accelerates from zero to 100 kmph in 2.8 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 390 kmph.
The company is set to start deliveries of the LykanHypersport in September. W Motors aims to produce a cheaper model of the Lykan for November's Dubai Auto Show with a $1.6m price tag.

Coldplay to Take Three Years Off From Live Shows
Tue, 27 Nov 2012 09:49:55
Coldplay Photos
Coldplay Videos
Coldplay will be taking a minute – actually, several million minutes- off from the live realm, after a year-and-a-half of touring and promotion behind last year's Mylo Xyloto. According to Billboard, singer and Gwyneth Paltrow's hubby Chris Martin told a crowd in Brisbane that "This is the last big show for three years or so. I don't want to stop."
Okay, he doesn't want to stop, but they are! Coldplay actually have a trio of shows scheduled in the East Coast portion of the country around New Year's.
Absence will make the heart grow fonder, for sure.
Will you miss Coldplay while they take a minute off from touring?

Circles of Hope offers solution to poverty
Circles of Hope, a program that has earned national acclaim for helping stamp out poverty, is on the cusp of being operational in Haywood County.
The program has been a work in progress for the past three years, suffering a setback after one of its founding leaders, the Rev. David Christie, was transferred from Canton to another Methodist Church.
The Rev. Chuck Wilson with Long's Chapel United Methodist Church is leading the initiative, and has spent the past months raising funds for the effort.
"I knew this would be a nonstarter without funding," Wilson said, noting individuals and several churches have raised about $40,000 to cover program start-up costs.
At a meeting this week, about 50 area residents were told there are 9,000 people in Haywood suffering from poverty, with almost 55 percent of the students in the public school system qualifying for the free or reduced lunch program. There are 250 documented homeless students in Haywood, said Michelle Mull, a social worker with Haywood County Schools.
It is clear there are hungry children in the county, she said, telling a story about a young child who came to school on a Monday morning and ate five bowls of cereal.
Efforts are ongoing to provide backpacks of food for children who would likely go without over the weekend, but a program to address the root cause is the goal.
"We can try to break the cycle," she said. This program would help tremendously."
Team building
A network of concerned individuals is needed to help those living in poverty move into middle class. The program not only changes lives of those who need help, but of those who make up the support system.
"Poverty is the mask we wear to hide our wealth," said Rob Rollins, who has worked in the Circles program in Anslow County. "Wealth is the mask we wear to hide our poverty."
Rollins said during a three-year period, it was shown for every dollar spent on the Circles program, $2 was saved in public assistance, and $4 went back into the community. For the first two groups, the annual income added to the local economy was $225,000.
Wilson said statistics show 67 percent of Circles leaders (those living in poverty) improved their income by 81 percent and 60 percent increased assets by 800 percent. More importantly, the leaders reported an 89 percent increase in number of people they could count on for support through the building of relationships.
Core individuals and members have been identified in Haywood to lead resource teams, but others are needed. There is especially a need for those who understand the inner workings of government, more business participation and an expanded number of individuals in the community willing to help in a variety of ways.
Wilson calls the effort the best chance of eradicating situational and generational poverty in Haywood County."
"Almost all poverty is the result of a lack of choice," Wilson said. "For those trapped by circumstances beyond their control, the result is futility of spirit. … They have lost the one thing to have a meaningful life and that is hope. That's what brings us all together today."

I Can't Finish This Book (169)
Biggest Disappointments (414)
This was very good! It did not start off easy for me, but once I got 100 pages or so in, I was hooked! The Buendias are memorable for sure! Highly recommend.
This book felt like it took me a long time to get through, which isn't surprising given that it's meant to be so circuitous, and because the titular "hundred years" feels so much longer given how staggered the generations of the Buendía family are. That said, it's got one of the best opening lines and one of the most satisfying endings I've read in a long, long time. I had the fun experience of trying to describe the novel to someone over hostel breakfast, which was hard to do but at least gave me the acceptable excuse to use "paterfamilias" in conversation (which opportunity doesn't often come up). I think I'm not alone in finding that the story belongs most to Úrsula, if you're in search of a main character, and that once she was gone the rest of the novel was just broad strokes filling out that family tree we have at the beginning.
Amazing breath and depth! i teared at sofia's quiet diligence and faith, and identified with Aureliano Buendia when he was lost.
This family saga about 4 generations living in a mythical city, probably based on a real one of the author's youth, has good bones but I couldn't get into either the story or the characters. Especially the characters. I think some are based on people from the author's life, however, they aren't fleshed out into real people the reader can grasp. I read 143 pages out of 448 pages. Plenty happens but not in depth.
I read the author bit at the rear of the book about his life. He considered himself always to be a journalist, although he wrote a number of books as well. I didn't know that while reading. The author is a Nobel Prize winner, but I feel the book must suffer from translation, for one thing.
I tried to meld with the words more, the story, the people, but it didn't happen for me. So unusual. It's rare that I don't finish a book, even if it's not so good. This one is relatively long (which I don't mind at all), but I can't see staying with it. I read snippets from other parts of the book, and it seemed the same as what I'd read, with other generations.
For the author, this was something of a journaling of his family, and for historical value, the book is probably excellent. It just doesn't speak to me and I grew tired of plodding through it looking for a spark of interest. The family experiences much the same as any family of the time would have, or any family of any time -- many things happen to civilizations, towns and people in any given time. So this is an accounting. For me, the depth is missing. I understood it all. It's just not something I wish to continue reading, and I dislike saying that about the writing of a Nobel Prize winner. Perhaps in the original language, it was much better. I wish I could pinpoint what makes me put the book down, but I don't know. Nothing I read makes me want to keep reading it.
Woohoo! I'm done! This was a really weird one, and not at all what I was expecting. I had not previously read any "magical realism" as far as I know. It was crazy! It really helped me to do a 'group read' on this one so that I could see what other people were thinking/feeling, and I could ask questions and not feel like I was totally lost, or just stupid ;)
"Very interesting" is all I can say, and now I can mark it off my Classics list!!!
A trickle of blood came out under the door, crossed the living room, went out into the street, continued on in a straight line across the uneven terraces, went down steps and climbed over curbs, passed along the Street of the Turks, turned a corner to the right and another to the left, made a right angle at the Buendía house, went in under the closed door, crossed through the parlor, hugging the walls so as not to stain the rugs, went on to the other living room, made a wide curve to avoid the dining-room table, went along the porch with the begonias, and passed without being seen under Amaranta's chair as she gave an arithmetic lesson to Aureliano José, and went through the pantry and came out in the kitchen, where Úrsula was getting ready to crack thirty-six eggs to make bread.
"Holy Mother of God!" Úrsula shouted.
This is good Book for me... , The plot made me curious, Best ..
[García Márquez] creates a continuum, a web of connections and relationships. However bizarre or grotesque some particulars may be, the larger effect is one of great gusto and good humor and, even more, of sanity and compassion. The author seems to be letting his people half-dream and half-remember their own story and what is best, he is wise enough not to offer excuses for the way they do it. No excuse is really necessary. For Macondo is no never-never land. Its inhabitants do suffer, grow old and die, but in their own way.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060883286, Paperback)"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice."
It is typical of Gabriel García Márquez that it will be many pages before his narrative circles back to the ice, and many chapters before the hero of One Hundred Years of Solitude, Buendía, stands before the firing squad. In between, he recounts such wonders as an entire town struck with insomnia, a woman who ascends to heaven while hanging laundry, and a suicide that defies the laws of physics:
A trickle of blood came out under the door, crossed the living room, went out into the street, continued on in a straight line across the uneven terraces, went down steps and climbed over curbs, passed along the Street of the Turks, turned a corner to the right and another to the left, made a right angle at the Buendía house, went in under the closed door, crossed through the parlor, hugging the walls so as not to stain the rugs, went on to the other living room, made a wide curve to avoid the dining-room table, went along the porch with the begonias, and passed without being seen under Amaranta's chair as she gave an arithmetic lesson to Aureliano José, and went through the pantry and came out in the kitchen, where Úrsula was getting ready to crack thirty-six eggs to make bread.
The story follows 100 years in the life of Macondo, a village founded by José Arcadio Buendía and occupied by descendants all sporting variations on their progenitor's name: his sons, José Arcadio and Aureliano, and grandsons, Aureliano José, Aureliano Segundo, and José Arcadio Segundo. Then there are the women--the two Úrsulas, a handful of Remedios, Fernanda, and Pilar--who struggle to remain grounded even as their menfolk build castles in the air. If it is possible for a novel to be highly comic and deeply tragic at the same time, then One Hundred Years of Solitude does the trick. Civil war rages throughout, hearts break, dreams shatter, and lives are lost, yet the effect is literary pentimento, with sorrow's outlines bleeding through the vibrant colors of García Márquez's magical realism. Consider, for example, the ghost of Prudencio Aguilar, whom José Arcadio Buendía has killed in a fight. So lonely is the man's shade that it haunts Buendía's house, searching anxiously for water with which to clean its wound. Buendía's wife, Úrsula, is so moved that "the next time she saw the dead man uncovering the pots on the stove she understood what he was looking for, and from then on she placed water jugs all about the house."
With One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel García Márquez introduced Latin American literature to a world-wide readership. Translated into more than two dozen languages, his brilliant novel of love and loss in Macondo stands at the apex of 20th-century literature. --Alix Wilber

XI'AN, June 10 (Xinhua) - Archeologists unearthed more than 310 pieces of cultural relics from the No. 1 Pit of the Mausoleum of Emperor Qinshihuang during a recent excavation of the mausoleum of the first emperor after China's unification.
The new discoveries include over 100 terracotta soldiers and war horses, two sets of chariots, as well as some weaponry, drums and a shield, said Yuan Zhongyi, a well-known archeologist who took part in the excavation work.
The shield is an exciting discovery, because no shields had previously been found in the three pits of terracotta warriors, Yuan said.
The shield, about 70 centimeters in height and 50 centimeters wide, was found on the right side of one of the chariots.
Experts said the shield, which is twice as large as the bronze shield found among bronze chariots and horses, is evidence of the size of shields in the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BC), because the bronze chariots and horses were produced to be half the size of real ones.
Of the 102 terracotta warriors unearthed from 2009 up to May this year, eight are officials and one is a senior official, said Xu Weihong, executive director of the excavation team.
The armor of the officials is much more complicated than that of ordinary soldiers, and the patterns on the officials' armor are more delicate and exquisite, Xu added.
Meanwhile, more terracotta warriors with colorful embellishments have been discovered this time, marking another important characteristic of this round of excavation.
"Strictly speaking, every one of the terracotta figures was decorated with various colors," said Xu, a researcher with the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang.
There are three main reasons the color could have been stripped from the figures, said Yuan Zhongyi.
He said that some of the terracotta warriors were submerged in water and others were affected by the fire in the pits, which could both result in the loss of color. And the method for coloring Terracotta Warriors in the Qin Dynasty could also be to blame.
"At that time, craftsmen would paint raw lacquer on them before decorating. After so many years, the lacquer separates from the body, stripping off the color," said Yuan.
This time, the colors were much better preserved than in previous excavations, although the colored parts of the figures' faces and clothes are quite small.
The eyeballs of unearthed terracotta warriors are black and taupe, and one even has red eyes. More interestingly, eyelashes were painted on one of the figures.
Experts said that the newly-discovered terracotta figures have given weight to the saying that each warrior had a unique face and expression, and that the colors vary on different parts.
