Crime, Poverty and Education: It's Not Rocket Science
Posted on Sep 25, 2007
(Page 2)
Harris: And you don't blame the drug. You say it's not the drug—it's some of the traditional causes like public school systems failing, parents not at home?
Avni: As cities get wealthier and wealthier, the difference between rich and poor gets more striking and more frustrating. What we just said about Oakland being a really dangerous city, well, it's even more dangerous if you're in East or West Oakland, because I was looking on the map, in the past three years, there's been one homicide in my part of town and none in Piedmont. So that means that ... when you have a really, really rich city, and a lots of really, really poor people in it, there's a couple of things that happens. One is that the rich people tend to send their kids to private schools—they stop caring about what happens in the public schools, although that is shifting in Oakland right now.
Avni: More and more of the middle-class people who come to move into Oakland have decided they want to send their kids to public schools and they've put a lot of money and time into local schools in their neighborhood. And there's a slight shift, more diversity in the schools—schools that were before all—one was 85 percent black; now it's 35 percent black.
Scheer: In the wealthier neighborhoods like Piedmont, the police force there is probably more available, and the residents expect the police to be there. Whereas in West Oakland, you might not see a police officer for months. And maybe that's also part of the cause, it's not just the education. ...
Square, Site wide
Scheer: James, you live in Oakland. What do you think about—when it's one of the most dangerous cities?
Harris: Well, Josh, if we look at some of the things that Sheerly was talking about earlier—the corruption in public schools, the lack of solid home base—that is the problem. And I say, as a community, Oakland, frankly, could care less about whether or not black kids, Latino kids are living or dying. Because if they cared, it wouldn't happen.
Scheer: And what about the new mayor? Do you think he cares?
Harris: I think the new mayor cares, but I think we have a new challenge, and that challenge is how do we get people to care? So I want to know from you guys, why is it that we won't try to solve this problem? Why is it that our local governments won't do that?
Scheer: Well, I think that one is that the same elected officials for the past 10 years have been in power. There's no change, there's no changeover. So there's no new ideas, and it's the same people, so if you keep on voting the same people in, maybe there needs to be a major change in the police force and the mayor. Maybe you shouldn't have elected a 70-year-old mayor. Maybe you should elect someone who is young, who has vision—someone like your sister, coming from a new school of thought, the state senators and that problem. And, obviously, someone has to care about fixing the education system and putting money in that education system, and that comes from the state and the local government. And there needs to be—there are people who care. You need to pull them out and get them caring. Right?
Harris: Sheerly, is it just that we're optimists, or perhaps I'm just the angry guy who wants a solution? But your work in juvenile hall, your work as an educator, what are you hearing from these kids?
Avni: They ... have tons of advice, and it's good advice. Last week we asked them about education, because we were thinking about the recent Supreme Court decision, and all the kids writing about what their experiences with the education is like in juvenile hall talked about how bad the schools are, the teaching is in the hall, because you've gotta go lowest common denominator. There's one kid with a learning disability; you're doing fourth-grade math. And a lot of these kids are really smart. They say, "We want better schools. We want better education." They also, another one, said ... in Oakland there is a new juvenile facility that is modeled, it has just been built, it was very expensive. All of you environmentally conscious will be happy to note that it's a "green" building. So our kids are being disposed of in an environmentally sound way. But it is based architecturally and also philosophically on the model of Santa Rita Jail. So what you're doing is you're taking a bunch of kids who used to be in a rehabilitative facility and putting them in a facility that is architecturally designed for group management. It means that you now have 14-, 15-year-old kids talking to their parents through glass when they come to visit them. It means that it's much harder for boys to get a chance to see their children when their children are born, which means you're literally ruining their possibility of bonding with their kids. And I know I'm going off topic and ranting here, but I guess the solutions are there in the things the kids say: "Treat us like human beings." Another kid said, "How come we don't have any programs? There's more programs in jail than in juvenile hall." Another one wrote, "You can tell by what the new building looks like what they really think of us." Another one wrote, "I don't have any models, ever, of anyone that ever went to college." Another one said, "I can't afford to work at McDonald's. I have to feed two brothers." I had a girl—this was in Las Vegas, so clearly it's not just local—explain to me that there was no way she could stop working as a prostitute because she has two sisters to support. So what am I supposed to tell her? Get a minimum-wage job, and if you can't afford to take care of your sisters, that we're going to have to go through CPS [Child Protection Services]? You don't want to break up families ... and not give a solution.

"Can you tell me how the government paying HIM, to administer these services such as health/dental/school/food/housing/clothes/etc, etc, that the GOVERNMENT provides, is NOT welfare?"
I've told you before, BUT I'll say it again. I take NO Nada, zero money from the government for caring for children!
What I resent is under our system (and I would prefer a different system)The GOVERNMENT has taken these children from their homes, and has assumed responsibility for them, HOWEVER some States (and Maine is one) refuse to pay for medical care. The Federal government (under Reagan) mandated a "copay" for prescription drugs, and the clothing allowance (paid directly to the children) is inadequate when considering the fury of a Maine winter.
Don't be like the politicians and smear people with untruths, and half truths.
I said the welfare system damages people on both sides of the line…. You have said the same thing.
I am in favor of eliminating welfare… entirely!

"So, if were gonna take away the welfare system, what are we gonna replace it with? Anything that might provide a little hope?"
You ass-u-me that the "welfare system" needs replacement, so we are on different planets to begin with.
What needs to happen is the system which necessitates "welfare" or anything else handed out to "another class of people" by "them that has" must be trashed! What we've got ain't workin!
Maybe once when our resources seemed endless, when we called ourselves "the breadbasket for the planet" when we were making all the cars, TV sets, and kitchen utensils, MAYBE (and the maybe is very tentative) then we needed a short term survival program for folks between jobs.
You have been adequate in your assessment of the "welfare programs" (and it is NOT a "welfare program, but many mish-mashed, sometimes overlapping and always inefficient programs.)The reason we keep welfare (as it is) is the same reason we build ships we don't need, bombs we have too many of, and nerve gas we immediately dump…. JOBS! we have this lobby that won't allow us to stop producing some stuff…. ANYWAY isn't that "welfare" after a fashion?
Necessities need to be subsidized for everyone, not as a "anti-poverty program." Energy for homes, (Cooler in Arizona summers, warmer in Maine winters) Food staples (not potato chips, coke and twinkies)and housing costs on an average home.
There needs to be an employer of last resort. Someplace where one can go and get work ALWAYS. There was a commercial (non-government affiliated) facility like this in Worcester Massachusetts in the 1970's. If you were not drunk, stoned, or outwardly hostile, you could always walk down to "Peak-load Labor Force" stand at the foot of the loading dock, and someone would hire you. Sometimes for the day, sometimes longer.
There needs to be a system of childcare facilities so employees can work without worrying about what's happening to their children. It is a proven fact that when employees have adequate childcare, they miss fewer work days, arrive on time more often, and have a better work habit, and therefore work record then those who have no child care in place, or child care which they do not trust.
It has been proven to my satisfaction that EVERYONE not deathly ill can work at something. Here 20 miles from where I live on the edge of the end of the world, we have Sunrise workshops (they hire the disabled)

You ask why the poor can not "have anything" when applying for welfare? I guess some conservatives would counter that if they "have anything" they are not poor.
HOWEVER the grim reality appears to be that the "welfare system" is not designed to "help poor folks" it is designed to "help the landlords, and store keepers who do business with poor populations.
This is the reason (and I get flamed every time I say this) I believe we should cease the "welfare system in its entirety! The welfare system does no one any good EXCEPT for the vendors (including social service providers) who profit from it.

I am sorry about your former circumstances. BUT your father sounds like a great guy.
After raising over 100 foster children, I (personally) would prefer a father who loves me to wealth. I understand about the frustration of hunger (second hand) I've seen it, but have not personally experienced it. You know, I've felt "hungry" when the paycheck was Friday, and I had used too much of my money on booze, so the money ran out Wednesday, but I always had the option of tapping the family, friends, or day-labor (they called it "peak-load" in Worcester when I lived there.)
The good thing is, if you have your PHD, your circumstances must be markedly improved. That's a good thing…right?

"Rich. With land and/or money. More than 1/6,000,000,000th of the worlds wealth."
Then your short thesis contending "anyone who thinks poor is a state-of-mind must be wealthy" is incorrect.
back to the drawing board.

First off, you are the ONLY / SINGLE / INDIVIDUAL / who has ever put Cyrena and I in the same box!
As to your thought below:
"For the poor, life on earth often amounts to hell."
My absolute favorite philosopher of all times says:
"One is only poor, If they choose to be."
I'll give you a hint, "poor" has nothing to do with "financially bereft"

"well-off white Europeans have been abasing the poor of every color for centuries, either by commission or omission and it will take a Herculean effort for decades to undo that damage."
There is good evidence that there were Africans involved in the slave trade on both sides of the pond.
There is undeniable evidence that the South American natives "debased their poor" just aw well as did the Europeans.
The Chinese social structure places poor folks below person hood, and the flesh traders still export "slaves" to Saudi Arabia.
With respect to your opinion, you seem to have fallen for the divide and conquer mantra of the elite.
the powerful, rich, Capitalists who sit on top of everything have no color, race, or creed. They are the most egalitarian folks on the planet. All you need to join their club is Money, power, or influence, all at a level unimaginable to "the common man" and they spend much of their time in the business of making us believe it is all the fault, of some peer group to which you do not belong.

It's really not that hard to figure out. Without social support from birth to 5 years old kids who are not prepared to become positive members of society are most likely headed towards becoming a burden on society. First draining resources in schools, and creating negative situations to overcome and then as they old enough to generate negative mayhem on the society outside of school, they will drain our resources in the criminal justice system and healthcare system. However with social support systems (that don't exist because the powers that be refuse to see past the concept of "why should we give expensive entitlements to the undeserving poor") that would include universal child care and universal healthcare, and universal preschool, and massive investments in k-12, we would clearly see in 20 years (and it would take "staying the course" on those social systems for at least 20 years) the fruits of this kind of enlightened social policy. More kids growing up to be positive resources for society, less ending up dead or in jail. It would take money, of course and development of the people and infrastructure to provide child care, pre-school, improved K-12, and real healthcare. But we seem to have a few billion a week to blow on a criminal war in a distant land for the express purpose of enriching cronies and controlling oil supplies, while creating terror in our citizenry so we need to waste even more money on defending against vague threats from asymetrical warfare. It seems we are only good at keeping the citizens in a state of terror, and using this system of terror and death to eliminate our civil rights and entrench a police state. All this while blowing trillions with an opportunity cost of never having social programs that would have a far more beneficial effect on our society. Our leaders can't see past the next horse race (er-"election") and refuse to think in grand long term ways to help the citizens like universal child care, pre-school and healthcare. They would rather look the other way while we are tasered into Burma-like submission, so they can continue pouring our borrowed treasury dollars into cronies Blackwater wallets. We'll be bombing Iran soon to keep the death party going, and the US as a civilization will end fast and hard, just like Rome in 400AD. Good night and good luck.

IF the government wanted to stop drug trafficking it could. All they would have to do is stop printing bills larger than $100, and make transportation of more than 1K cash, by unlicensed individuals a crime. Tell the truth, what does anyone doing a legal business today need with more than 1k cash?
Personally I would rather make drugs legal. It's a free country…no?
Secondly, siting around collecting welfare isn't helping anyone. We should have an employer of last resort. someone who must hire you if you can't get work elsewhere.
So talk about the divide as we have been doing all my life and go nowhere….or suggest something new and be laughed out of the debate.
The bigger question is do we really wish to solve this problem? Or do we just want to "form a new committee to study it?"

Are there immense problems in our public school system and in our cities ? Of course. But few- including the above writers -refuse to acknowledge the fundamental cause. It's about 15 year olds having children- and its been about that since the welfare system was created. But just like you cannot question the influence that the Israeli lobby plays in American Mideast policy without being labelled anti-semtic, you cannot criticze the fundamental flaw of the welfare system without being labelled racist. And that situation is beyond dangerous

From M. in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Feeling sick? Check out these wolf-related remedies for what ails ya!
In ancient Rome, barren women attended the Roman festival Lupercalia (named for the legendary nursery cave of Romulus and Remus) in the hopes of becoming fertile.
According to Pliny the Elder, a first-century Greek scholar, wolf teeth could be rubbed on the gums of infants to ease the pain of teething. He also reported that wolf dung could be used to treat both colic and cataracts.
The Aztecs used wolf liver as an ingredient for treating melancholy. They also pricked a patient's breast with a sharpened wolf bone in an attempt to delay death.
During the Middle Ages, Europeans used powdered wolf liver to ease the pain of childbirth and would tie a wolf's right front paw around a sore throat to reduce the swelling. Dried wolf meat was also eaten as a remedy for sore shins.

Meet Mr. A. J. Smith
With Beverly Baxter
Meet Mr. A. J. Smith
Old Man Winter certainly has been very cruel. It makes me long to escape and slip into St. Thomas or Key West! I hope that wherever you are, that you are warm!
The weather certainly didn't hinder the more than 350 who ventured out to attend The 29th Annual Hearts and Shamrocks Dance last weekend at Saint Camillus hosted by The James Conway Sullivan Queens County Saint Patrick's Day Parade Commit tee. Each year, the committee of fifty members selects and votes on a roster of honorees whom, either through their contributions on behalf of the Irish community or through the work of their lives, have distinguished themselves to the committee. Among those being honored this year is an accomplished man whom we are honored to bestow with the honor of Deputy Grand Marshall. His name is Arthur J. Smith.
Speak to "A.J." about the prospect of the Nets coming to Brooklyn, or his beloved Mets and Rangers, or his own Thoroughbred Race Horses, and like most any avid Irish American sports enthusiast, he will go on and on....However, his pitch becomes more endeared when he talks about The Wedge and The Olive Pits, the two Breezy Point Softball Teams he has played on for many years!
A.J., together with his wife, Kate, have been lifelong residents of Breezy Point. Although they reside full-time in the North Shore Village of Man hasset, Long Island, they still summer in "Breezy" and maintain a home on Oceanside. AJ's mother, Elaine Smith, has resided at her residence on B.213th Street since 1956. His sister, Mary Elizabeth is the Cooperative's Resident Historian.
An Attorney in private practice, A.J. graduated from New York University with a major in politics, and Fordham Law School. His Law practice, Baxter and Smith, just recently opened its 4th location in Jericho, Long Island. Other locations include offices in Manhattan, White Plains, and Buffalo.
In addition to his distinguished career accomplishments, A.J. has been actively involved in community service within the Irish community for a number of years. He is currently President of the New York County Board of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. A.J. will be the Grand Marshall in the Brooklyn Irish American Parade in Park Slope on March 21st.
Among his philanthropic endeavors is the "Kruise for Kids", an annual charity boat ride sponsored by his AOH Division which raises over $80,000 for Project Children, an organization that hosts nearly 400 children from N.E. Ireland to summer with American families. He is on its Board of Directors. In 2002, A.J. organized and ran the New York City fundraiser for the AOH victims of 9/11. He is also an active member of both The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in NYC and Long Island.
His commitment to his community in Breezy Point extends to the Cooper ative Insurance and Communications Committees of which he is a member. He is also a frequent Lecturer for the Breezy Point Book Club.
A.J. has fond memories of growing up in Breezy where he was a Lifeguard for six years and served as Captain for two years, served for several years on the Stage Crew for the teen productions; as well as played in the Summer Baseball League.
There is a thread of community service and benevolence that runs through A.J's life. Although he has been quite successful in his career, he passionately believes in "giving back" to his heritage and community. The parade committee is most honored to be honoring a man of A.J. Smith's caliber. He makes us all so very proud!
***Many of you have inquired as to where you may obtain a copy of Mary Elizabeth Smith's book, A History of Breezy Point. You will find it at the hardware store and at the Coop office in Breezy. It will also be available at local stores and local libraries.
***Congratulations to the parade Scholarship winners: Tina Adjei Bo som peon, Caroline Carrion, Meagan Fitzpatrick, Kerry King, Matt Patter son, and Kimberly Watty who each wrote stunning essays on the contributions of Irish Immigrants in America. The winners were presented with their awards by Dr. Geraldine M. Chapey, who along with Dr. Geraldine D. Chapey and Rev. Robert Hoatson judged the essays. Also presenting the awards were Sister Patricia Chelius, Parade President Mike Benn, and Mrs. Rosemary Sullivan.
***If you enjoy dining at Tiberio's as much as I do, you'll be happy to know that they now accept major credit cards! So join Raymone and Rudy and their wonderful staff for a delicious dining experience! Do make reservations as they are very crowded on most weekends.
***I met Peggy Page, that Grand Dame of the Rockaway Theatre, who informed me that the theatre troope is getting ready to mount productions of One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest and Nunsense. The group will be hosting auditions the first week in February for their next season. Contact Peggy Page or John Gilleece.
***Attention Republicans! Did you know...there are approximately 5000 registered Republicans throughout Rockaway and nearly 10,000 in the 23rd. District. Well, a grassroots en deavor is underway to revitalize and promote a Republican voice in Rock away. If you are a Registered Republi can, you will soon be receiving a mailing from this newly formed group. Among them are activists Tom Lynch, Stu Mirsky, George Greco, and Joseph McGrougy, to name just a few of the 25 local Republicans who have expressed interest in a viable local Republican organization. Join them! It's time that there was a more politically equitable force among the Republican Party in Rockaway.
***Speaking of the sport of Politics, I'm sure many of you witnessed the political faux pas made by candidate Howard Dean. His maniacal tirade rather reminded me of Lew Simon!
***It certainly was refreshing to see the unpredicted and exciting upset waged by Senator Kerry. Out of the entire slate of Democrats, I happen to like John Edwards. Although he is not as seasoned as the others, he is a great orator on the scale of Clinton, Cuomo, Kennedy, and Reagan.
***There are still two more days left to take advantage of the no sales tax week on items under $110. There are now plenty of great buys out there. It's a great time to stock up on your favorite cashmere sweaters..in every color!
***Have a Gucci handbag that needs repair? Or perhaps the hardware is coming undone on your favorite Chanel. Take them to Leon's Shoe Repair on the Blvd at B.115 Street. Leon is a master craftsman rarely found anymore. His skill is not merely limited to shoes as he is brilliant at repairing anything Leather. He made my expensive handbags look like new. Thanks, Leon!
***I extend my thoughts to Michael Foley this week on the one year anniversary of the loss of his beloved Maura. Michael, when you are ready, please come back to the parade committee. We need you.
***Not Again! No, it wasn't Mary Alice Lane who fell again this time; but rather it was a wooden table that fell on her and broke her foot! while helping the committee set up for the Hearts and Shamrocks Dance. You are loved and missed.
***Happy Birthday wishes to Mrs. Rosemary Sullivan, Bridie McCotter, Ken Huhn, Barbara Morris, and Rob bie Blender!
See you.....On the Beach!

Gavarnie, mountain village and valley on the approach to the natural amphitheatre known as the Cirque de Gavarnie, in Hautes-Pyrénées département, Midi-Pyrénées région, southwestern France. Gavarnie lies in the central Pyrenees, on the French side of the Franco-Spanish frontier. The village, at an elevation of 4,452 feet (1,357 m) in the valley of the Gave (torrent) de Pau, was a resting place in medieval times for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, which is one of the chief shrines of Christendom.
The Cirque de Gavarnie, about 2.5 miles (4 km) south of the village, is described by the 19th-century French writer Victor Hugo as "a mountain and a wall at the same time . . . the colosseum of nature." From its floor, glacially eroded rock walls rise to about 5,000 feet (1,500 m). It has three conspicuous terraces in which precipitous faces are succeeded upward by steep slopes of ice and snow. The Grande Cascade waterfall plunges about 1,400 feet (425 m) from the eastern side. Above the amphitheatre are the high mountain summits of the Franco-Spanish frontier ridge, rising to nearly 11,000 feet (3,350 m). Also conspicuous is the deep cleft known as the Brèche de Roland. Nearby is the Grotte Casteret, containing a frozen underground stream. Pop. (1999) 164; (2004 est.) 154.

The profits of the leading miners are highly sensitive to movements in base metals prices. Buyers trimmed 9.9 per cent from the copper price after BHP Billiton said world supplies of copper would exceed demand by the second half of 2005.

Australia's leading miners were crunched on the sharemarket yesterday after an overnight rout in base metal markets, triggered in part by downbeat comments on the outlook for metal prices by the miners themselves.
The rout brought to an abrupt end the 26-month bull run in base metal prices that had been fuelled by the seemingly insatiable demand from China for raw materials to feed its manufacturing and infrastructure boom.
But fresh concerns about the pace of growth in China - one report cited a 21 per cent fall in its copper consumption in July - and the impact of record oil prices on the global economy prompted heavy selling by hedge funds and other speculators keen to pocket recent strong gains while they could.
Commonwealth Bank commodity strategist David Thurtell said: "Metals were smashed overnight as the funds took some money off the table." He said the same funds had been responsible for driving prices well above fundamental levels in the first place.
Prices of key metals fell by as much as 17 per cent in the pace-setting London market, prompting a sell-off in the leading miners and the Australian dollar to account for the country's reduced export revenue from the sector.
The dollar closed weaker at US72.62 ¢, down from its previous close of US72.97 ¢ but up from a low of $US72.15 ¢ that it hit on Wednesday night.
The share price of sector leader BHP Billiton dived 4.3 per cent to $13.97, Rio Tinto fell 3.2 per cent to $36.80 and WMC Resources tumbled 6.2 per cent to $4.96. Other falls included Zinifex, down 3.9 per cent to $1.99, and Oxiana, down 2.3 per cent to 85 ¢.
Those falls were in response to the heavy falls in base metals - copper down 9.9 per cent to $US1.32 a pound, aluminium down 6.6 per cent to US80.1 ¢ a pound, nickel down 16.7 per cent to $US5.97 a pound and zinc down 7.3 per cent to US47.9 ¢ a pound.
Some of those falls were the biggest single-day retreats in 15 years. The profits of the leading miners are highly sensitive to movements in base metal prices. BHP Billiton highlighted this fact earlier in the week by revealing that a US1 ¢ movement in the copper price could move its net profit by $US22 million. Copper fell by more than US14 ¢ a pound in the rout.
The attack on base metal prices came as producers and traders assembled in London to exchange information and cut deals during a week-long conference sponsored by the London Metal Exchange.
Representatives from BHP Billiton's base metals division and WMC chief executive Andrew Michelmore were both attending and, in separate updates on Wednesday on the outlook for metal prices, unwittingly added to the nervousness that prices had risen too far too quickly.
BHP spooked the copper market when it said world supplies of copper would surpass demand in the second half of 2005 as miners increased production. BHP is spending more than $US2.2 billion ($A3 billion) to expand its own production 47 per cent by 2008.
Mr Michelmore unsettled the nickel market when he said the high nickel price ($US7.17 a pound) raised concerns about the profitability of the end users, stainless steel manufacturers.
"I get concerned when prices go too high," he said. "A $US4 to $US6 a pound range should be sustained over the next couple of years with the physical supply and demand balance."
On cue, the market took the nickel price down by $US1.20 to $US5.97 a pound.

Escaped Convict Busted For Grand Larceny
By Howard Schwach
A Far Rockaway man who was an escaped convict from an upstate prison was arrested last week for grand larceny after he allegedly made more than 100 phone calls threatening to kill the family of the people he called if they did not turn over an unspecified amount of money.
The local man, identified by Nassau County police as John Golom, 42, of 20-27 Seagirt Boulevard in the Wavecrest Gardens complex, reportedly called an unidentified Island Park man and demanded money, threatening the man and his family if he did not deliver.
The victim gave in to the demands and delivered the money to Golom at about 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, May 15, police say. The money was reportedly delivered at a Rockaway location.
The victim had called Nassau County Police, however, and Golom was arrested at his home about 45 minutes after the money changed hands.
A check by Detectives from Nassau County's Fourth Squad revealed that Golom had escaped from The Adirondack Correctional Facility in Ryebrook, New York, where he was incarcerated after being found guilty of fraud charges.
Police sources say that the calls were random and there is no indication that Golom and the victim had any contact prior to this incident.
Golom was arraigned on Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead on charges of second degree grand larceny and second degree aggravated harassment.
A spokesman for the Nassau County District Attorney said that Golom will be held for the U.S. Marshalls, who will bring him back to prison pending his Nassau County trial.

There is a bit of a Doctor Who feel to Fête, Providence's newest music venue.
Just down the street from Olneyville N.Y. System wieners, on a curving Dike Street, the club's exterior looks modest, small. But walk in and you are instantly struck by its size and sheen.
At the center of the 14,000-square foot club is the main ballroom. The floor is a brown, shiny poured concrete. The Proscenium stage is the sort used for theatrical productions. Calibrated test microphones hang from the ceiling so the guys at the board can adjust the sound throughout a show.
Technical director Dave Dalzell takes me beneath the balcony to show off a few of the ports built into the overhang to absorb sound. "The room is literally tuned like an instrument," he says.
The club, four years in the making, is the brainchild of sculptor and entrepreneur Nicolas Bauta, the man behind Firehouse 13 and the Steel Yard, and Don King, founding artistic director of the now-defunct Black Repertory Company.
King, who is programming the space, says he wants Fête to be "New England's boutique live music venue." That means a New Orleans series. It means a world music series that will look to bring in some of the Latino and Asian artists who normally bypass mainstream venues when they come through Providence.
This focus on lesser known artists — on sounds many have not heard — will be the club's great strength and its great challenge, King says. But it will not be Fête's sole focus.
The venue will also book big-name rockers like Nils Lofgren, who has played in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and is scheduled to appear at Fête on October 22.
"My programming philosophy," says King, "is a combination of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue."
It's just the sort of philosophy that guided Bauta's club design. Fête — in a space that once held an ice cream factory, an auto garage and, most recently, a precision metalwork shop — is festooned with all sorts of recycled objects.
In the lounge, by the main entrance, Bauta has repurposed a huge clock face he peeled off the tower of the old Royal Mills in Warwick late one night many years ago.
He actually dropped the clock that evening, shattering it on the roof of the building. But he returned two years later to pick up the pieces and spent 10 years reassembling it.
On another wall in that lounge: an old map of Providence and North Providence Bauta found at Firehouse 13 — the art and music space that was, as its name suggests, once a firehouse.
Grimy and roughly treated over the years, the map has been cleaned by Q-Tip and in-laid with 600 small lights.
The detail, Bauta says, is about creating a unique experience for clubgoer and musician alike. Too many venues don't treat artists right, he says. He wants a place where they will feel cared for; a place they will talk about to fellow musicians; a place that will showcase what he calls the most potent of the arts.
"When you're given the power of sound and light, you can amplify your vision — your song — to thousands at a time," he says.
Now, Fête just has to attract the thousands.

ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT CHEERLEADER-United States-83 Min. 2012
Directed by Kevin O-Neill
Written by Mike MacLean
Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader surprised the hell out of me. Don't let the title fool you; it is an amazingly written, directed and acted film about one girl and her struggle to be accepted in today's society. Jena Sims (Dexter, One Tree Hill) gives a performance that rivals Meryl Streep on her best day.
I'm just kidding; it's a movie about cheerleaders with big boobs, great butts and a 50 foot cheerleader with even bigger boobs and a really giant great butt. This is not a movie to be taken seriously in any way, shape or form. It's the kind of cheesy film that my friends and I would see on a regular basis when we were younger and would love every minute of it. This was long before I became a reviewer. I watched this movie purely for the fun of it and to quote Yoda, "Fun I did have, yes." This is not the type of film that will further any careers and in fact I'm sure it will set a few of them way back *cough cough Treat Williams (127 Hours, Deep Rising), Sean Young (Blade Runner, No Way Out) cough cough*.
Cassie Stratford (Sims) is your typical pimply faced lab nerd that wants so desperately to fit in with the cool girls i.e. the hot cheerleaders/sorority girls. But OMG that Brittany Andrews (30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is such a bitch! She's not about to let geek-freak Cassie in on any of the fun. Not only that but Cassie also has trouble on the home front from former head cheerleader mom Brenda (Young), whose expectations are higher than her daughter can achieve. So what's a poor girl to do except inject herself with an experimental growth hormone. After that Cassie goes from not-to-hot as her eyesight improves, her body fills out and she becomes amazingly athletic just like Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man; although Jena Sims has much nicer boobs. Cassie is hot just like she always wanted. But with great hotness comes consequences; Cassie begins to grow…and grow…and grow…and grow until she becomes…dun…dun…DUH…the 50 Foot Cheerleader!!
Have fun watching this movie. I did. I came away from it a better person ready to serve my community and humanity itself.
I'm kidding again. I just had fun. Oh, and watch for cameos from Ted Raimi (The Midnight Meat Train), Roger Corman and John Landis (An American Werewolf in London).

|120 m²
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
This cute cabin has everything you need for a relaxing, fun-filled lakeside vacation! Enter into the open living room / dining room area and immediately enjoy the waterfront views! The kitchen is brand new, complete with granite countertops and stainless appliances and provides all you will need to prepare and enjoy your meals while on vacation. The first bedroom with a queen bed and one bathroom with shower are located on the main level. Travel up the lighthouse staircase and find two additional bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other with two twin beds and a loft sleeping area with an additional double bed. All have beautiful views of the water! There is also another bathroom with shower and laundry facilities on this level. Walk down to the boat dock to enjoy the multitude of water activities the lake invites. There is even a bath house between the house and dock complete with refrigerator, shower, sink and toilet! When you just want to relax, step out onto the deck that overlooks the lake and enjoy the gorgeous views up and down the main channel.
The beauty of the Watauga Lake region in northeastern Tennessee is unsurpassed. The lake is just over 16 miles long and has over 105 miles of amazingly beautiful shoreline! It is reputed to be the third cleanest lake in the U.S. and is surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest. Enjoy it all from 'The Lighthouse' Cottage!
I currently split my time between Florida and Tennessee -yup, I'm a snowbird. I discovered Watauga Lake in 2010 when friends invited us up for a visit. It was love at first site! The fact that the Cherokee National Forest surrounds most of the lake makes it that much more beautiful and unspoiled. After spending many summers on Cape Cod and fighting all the tourist traffic, this seemed like paradise...and it is! I have discovered a place that I can truly relax.
Susan Pohl purchased this cabin in 2012
The views from this house are amazing and it just felt 'right' when this house came up for sale...so now I own it and hope to share some of what Watauga Lake offers to other people. I have been here for several summers now, and it has proven to be as perfect a family experience as I could hope for - as well as a great place for friends to visit. This is a place to have good times and make good memories!
I fell in love with the views, hands down! The house is cute and a little quirky. The inside staircase is narrow and winds like a lighthouse staircase, but the house is cute! (There is an outside stairway that goes to the second level also). And the bath house between the dock and the house is so convenient! It is an awesome piece of property - it just feels good to be on the deck there relaxing and taking it all in!
Well if you looking to be off the grid then your in luck. Wifi was extremely sketchy and after numerous reboots we gave up. This was a working vacation so we had to leave early when you cannot get paperwork done. The staircase reminded me of something in a tree house at about 18" wide so we elected to walk outside and use the outside stairs to access the second floor. Bottom line is there are other properties that are less expensive and nicer.
Cabin was as advertised. Experienced no problems.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at "The Lighthouse." The house is great, and well stocked with all the essentials. Comfortably slept 4 adults and two kids... The deck and dock were the highlight of the trip for us, as we spent all our time there. The view is beautiful and the lake is so peaceful. Susan is easily accessible for anything you need. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks again for sharing your home with us!
Had a wonderful week at The Lighthouse. The cottage is well equipped and very clean. The owners left a wonderful welcome basket with treats and even a bottle of local wine. We spent most of our time gazing at the lake, kayaking or swimming off the dock. The fact that we could bring our little dog Petey made it even more special. Thanks for a fun relaxing week!
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the lake and mountains. The house is lovely with all that is needed for your stay. The views of the lake and mountains are wonderful. Susan, the homeowner, is extremely accomodating and provides a full basket of goodies upon your arrival.
We have just returned from our second stay at the Lighthouse in as many years. We returned this year because we had such a great time last year! Watauga Lake is delicious -- clean and cool (but not too cool!), and the location of the Lighthouse is perfect for water skiing right off the dock. We love having the kayaks, and the covered deck is fantastic for being outside when a shower passes by or, in the case of our week, an escape from the sun. We were there for seven days and rarely were inside except to sleep. The owners are very helpful and friendly -- could not ask for better hospitality! It's also close enough to Boone for an occasional trip, if needed.
Access all the lake has to offer right from the dock at the house. Swim, fish, or boat right from the dock. Boat launches,swimming beaches, hiking trails and picnic sites are located within the Cherokee National Forest and are available for public use. The Appalachian Trail crosses the lake at its southwestern tip. Hike the Appalachian Trail or one of the other hiking trails available and discover waterfalls and even more gorgeous views. Parking is available for the hike to Laurel Falls is just north of Hampton off of Route 321. Private marinas provide boat rental, boat mooring and boat launching facilities. Watauga Lake is perfect for almost any type of boating - from houseboats to sailboats to ski and wakeboard boats to canoes and kayaks - they are all at home on the lake. If you feel the need for a little "civilization", Boone, NC is just 30 minutes away and Blowing Rock just another five miles or so. On the Tennessee side, Elizabethton is just 40 minutes and Johnson City, TN just beyond that.

First of all every reservation you get through Hotels.com or similar sites is a DISCOUNTED reservation. But regardless of that you agreed to specific terms when you booked the hotel. This included the cancellation and change policy(oh and even if no changes are allowed that is still a policy).
Oh, as for giving your last night to a homeless person. While your heart is in the right place, your mind may not be. Because YOU would still be the one responsible for any damage or theft from the room. This could even be as simple as a huge cleaning fee if they are caught smoking in the room. Just something to think about.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Paul Ceglia's side won a small legal victory in court yesterday when a judge ruled that the former wood pellet salesman and Internet entrepreneur has the right to limited discovery against Facebook in the context of a motion to dismiss. Mr. Ceglia filed a lawsuit against Facebook a year and eight months ago, claiming ownership of half the company. Facebook filed the motion to dismiss at long last, supposedly waiting until it was an absolute slam dunk (and probably hoping to exhaust Mr. Ceglia's resources).
But after burning through a series of legal teams, Mr. Ceglia just picked up some legit lawyers with a track record of winning victories against corporations: Milberg LLP, which took on the case in a fairly transparent attempt to shake down the social network for a payoff before its imminent public offering.
Mr. Ceglia's lawyers, who mention the words "jury" and "day in court" at every possible juncture, are aggressively fighting the motion to dismiss. Mr. Ceglia did have a contract for some work with Mark Zuckerberg prior to the founding of Facebook. While evidence suggests he's making a bunch of shit up, there still may be enough of a doubt to drag Facebook and Zuck into court.
Yesterday's ruling says that Mr. Ceglia can continue, with limitations, to seek evidence and compel information from Facebook.
"The court recognized that Mr. Ceglia is entitled to certain discovery necessary to respond to the pending motions to dismiss," Mr. Ceglia's lawyers said in a statement. "Specifically, Mr. Ceglia will obtain discovery of experts hired by the defendants and the opportunity to challenge their conclusions, some of which have already been contradicted by Mr. Ceglia's own experts. We are pleased that the judge has ruled that this discovery should proceed, and we are hopeful that once we have obtained and presented this information, the court will deny the defendants' motions to dismiss and allow the case to proceed to full discovery and an eventual trial."
Mr. Ceglia's aggressive new legal team has already succeeded in getting Zuck to release about 200 emails from his days at Harvard.

After giving a limp warning to Putin that was even pathetic by OBYs standards, Putin invades the Ukrane with his crack Storm Troopers causing complete kaos and alarm while OBY parties and declares happy hour-lol calling it an "uncontested arrival not an invasion."
Phone and internet services have been disrupted not to mention important thing like food, clothing and shelter.
Now Kerry comes out with a few more limp warnings about sanctions vs Russian and this and that and Putin laughs and says it will boomerang back to the U.S and puts his troops on the move again.
Condi Rice said Putin is playing chess and exploiting OBY.
Elsewhere, Palin got it right. She said Russia would invade Ukrane if OBY were elected.
There's a new fear of Putin trying to re-start the Cold War and make Russia a top super power again while he denies it. All this ass kicking after everything OBY did for him like slashing Pentagon budgets and reducing our military to his advantage.
No wodner Putin is laughing at OBY.

"Shockingly low" attendance at the premiere production of a drama by award-winning playwright Daniel MacIvor has left Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times Theatre "scratching [its collective] head and asking some very serious questions" against the backdrop of an overall decline in visitors to Toronto's performing arts presenters since 2005-06.
"We're not happy," said Buddies artistic director Brendan Healy Thursday of attendance at MacIvor's Arigato, Tokyo, which concludes a month-long run April 14. Healy, who issued an open letter online Thursday expressing his concerns, wouldn't reveal precise ticket sales to date. Nevertheless, "filling a 120-seat house like ours with a Daniel MacIvor play that has great reviews shouldn't be that hard," he said. "I'm not angry about it, I'm not angry at audiences. I just think everyone here at the company wants to understand, to get some feedback around 'why.'" To that end, as part of a 10-year strategic plan, the company has prepared a 20-question online survey "to get to know [its audience] better."
Healy's actions come less than a month after he attended a meeting to which the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts invited the artistic directors of some 185 professional theatre, dance and opera companies "to discuss the current climate . . . the current challenges."
Details of the March 11 meeting are confidential. Nevertheless, it's likely attendance was discussed as TAPA, established in 1979, has been gathering statistics for almost 10 years with respect to Toronto performing arts. In a brief interview Thursday, TAPA executive director Jacoba Knaapen noted that between 2005-06 and 2009-10, ticket sales to professional theatre, dance and opera performances declined by eight per cent, going to 2.3-million tickets purchased from 2.5-million.
"That's not a sharp sort of jump-off-the-cliff decline but a slow decline . . . a marked decline," she said. At the same, performing arts do appear to be attracting younger audiences. In 2004, 2,400 high-school groups attended performances; in 2009-10, that more than tripled, to 8,700 high-school groups. "There is some good news in there . . . [since] the perception is that theatre audiences are white and aging."
Knaapen said the decline is hardly a secret and "not unique to Toronto. We see this kind of audience challenge right across North America." Meanwhile, to help better understand local audiences and "what motivates attendance," TAPA has developed its own survey that is going out to its member organizations next week whereupon they'll circulate it among "their audience base."Report Typo/Error

When we eat too fast our body doesn't have enough time to send signals to the brain to tell us that we are full. It takes 20 minutes for food to reach the first part of the small intestine after its ingested. At this point our bodies send the "full" signals to the brain to stop eating.

Mahatma Otoo boost for Hearts as he returns from Turkey
Hearts striker Mahatma Otoo will be available for Sunday's Premier League home game against Aduana Stars on Sunday.
The 20-year-old travelled to Turkey last week to undergo trials with top-flight side Denizlispor.
But he has returned in time for the must-win game against Aduana after he joined his colleagues at the team's training grounds on Thursady.
In the absence of the captain, Hearts suffered a 2-0 defeat at Heart of Lions.
He will be required to inspire team confidence ahead of the crunch game against the table-toppers at the Accra sports stadium.

A cheerleader and model who was the "driving force" behind a P syndicate has had three-and-a-half years shaved off her 10-year jail sentence.
Anna Cristina Ngo was once part of Auckland rugby's cheerleader squads but is now serving a lengthy jail term after being sentenced for two lots of drug offending.
Her case was back at the Court of Appeal today (Wed) where three justices decided there had been a mistake at the District Court and quashed her 10 year sentence, replacing it with one of six years and six months.
The 39-year-old was arrested in 2009 after buying 6.8g of methamphetamine at a Kohimarama home that police described as a drugs supermarket.
Police also raided her Mt Eden home and found a 1.5kg bag of ketamine known in the nightclub scene as "Special K". They also found a drug dealer's "tick list" of drug buyers.
She was eventually sentenced in the High Court at Auckland to three-and-a-half years for that offending.
But while on bail for that offending, Ngo started a P cooking operation described by Judge Graham Hubble as a "frenetic" large scale commercial operation.
"What must be accepted from Anna's perspective is that she seemed to be the driving force behind this."
He said Ngo ran the syndicate like a business, and was firm and often angry with her co-offenders if they were not living up to her expectations.
She also "hooked" in her brother to the operation that used multiple cell phones to avoid detection.
Judge Hubble sentenced her to 10 years in prison. But in his sentencing, he did not take into account the earlier sentence in the High Court of three-and-half years.
That meant the second sentence did not take into account the time she had already served and would have resulted in her serving a 13-and-a-half year sentence in total.
The Crown did not oppose the appeal. Prosecutor Stephanie Edwards said one of Ngo's co-offenders Mark Camelo was found to be a more serious offender and yet Ngo would have served a longer sentence then him.
Court of Appeal Justices Anthony Randerson, Rodney Hansen and Graham Lang agreed that the sentence was unjust and the 10-year sentence was "manifestly excessive" when added to the original three years and six months.
Outside court today, Ngo's lawyer Maria Pecotic said the intention at the time of the second sentence was that Ngo would receive a total of 10 years in prison for both sets of offending.
The decision means Ngo is now eligible for parole.

Interested in theology and not afraid to pursue it? Studying theology is part adventure, part discipline and part exploration. It is to go to another place and find yourself disconcerted and at home in the same moment. It is to situate yourself under searching questions and allow the best contemporary scholarship to lead you to an answer relevant for today. Who is the God revealed in Jesus of Nazareth? How can we understand scriptural texts? How do they speak? What are my perspectives as a believer? What are the tenets of faith? What is of relevance for living in this culture and this time?
Christian theology in particular challenges us to explore how belief in the God who is love leads to ethical living, advocacy for justice, and care for others? It seeks to understand the patterns of worship that have emerged, what has made them flourish, and what leads to change.
Theological study is immediately cross-disciplinary. It works with disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, social sciences, architecture, music, textual analysis, linguistic study, symbol, history and many others to bring the best of human thinking to bear on the meaning and presence of the divine in the world. Engaging with theology opens us to the broad flourishing of human wisdom.
In this, theological study does not shy away from the difficult questions. It leads to thinking and involvement in issues of inequity, injustice, environmental degradation, the sharing of natural resources, racism, violence, anti-Semitism, colonialism, amongst others. It also works to uncover how theological reflection has been complicit in these blights on human history.
Ultimately theology is an excursion into the triumph of love, hope and grace. That's why it's worth the study!

More About American Pit Bull Terrier Breed
- Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
- Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
- Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.
- Start looking… Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
- Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

rescue Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier-Unknown Mix Sex: Male Male Age: Adult Location: Mission, KSPosted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). I am faster than a speeding bullet (even if you throw it really hard, but bullets are dangerous so you really shouldn't be throwing them at all). I am more powerful than a locomotive (and those toy trains can be powerful). I can leap tall buildings in a single bound (but I try not to step on them because Legos hurt). Do you need a super hero in your life? Then you came to the right place. I am Colossal Boy, but I'm really not that colossal at all, more of a medium size really. When Unleashed saved me from a kill shelter I was starving to death, but they saw past my skinny exterior. They gave me a huge name to live up to, lots of food and love. Now that I've bulked up, I'm ready for a home of my own. I have lots of super powers: I am crate-trained, housebroken, I am a great leader for my fellow canines, I know tricks that seem to amuse you humans, and I am even willing to babysit your children (as long as they are old enough to take care of themselves because I'm a dog, and not legally licensed to babysit). It's not every day that you get the chance to adopt a super hero. If I had mind control I would have been adopted already, but since I don't I will ask you nicely to come meet me at Unleashed. Thank you, Colossal Boy **Check out my Facebook page for more info, photos, and updates!** https://www.facebook.com/AdoptColossalBoyTags:

rescue Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Sex: Female Female Age: Adult Location: Mission, KSPosted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). I love you humans, but you guys are a little bit strange. You sit on bowls of water that dogs aren't allowed to drink out of. I have never seen you sniff each other, I mean how do you tell each other apart? You stare at those light up boxes you always have in your hand, but never bother to stare down a squirrel. I may never understand you, but I still would like to call you family. My name is Dancing Butterfly and I am an one year old Pittie. I potty outside, where all good dogs do it. I, like you, love to give kisses and hugs, but I give them away more freely. I love to chew things, you really should try it sometime. Overall I think I am pretty great, by canine standards. Can you be my human? Hoping you stay weird, Dancing ButterflyTags:

rescue Breed: Mutt Sex: Female Female Age: Young Location: Mission, KSPosted Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Love was just a word until someone cared enough to show me how amazing it could feel. Locked in a concrete cell in a kill shelter, I had little hope of ever knowing love. Then Unleashed and my foster mom saved me, now I am looking for something I never thought I could have- a forever family of my very own. My name is Roxy and I am a two year old Boxer mix. I have been working hard to get ready for a home of my own, including learning to potty outside. I do great in my crate and have learned to walk gently on a leash. I love my doggy friends and get along great with kids. I can be a little shy until I know that you will be nice to me, and men still seem a little scary to me. I will need a family patient enough to let me get comfortable so I can show off my amazing personality. I love to play and have a quirky, squeaky bark. My favorite things are sleeping with my people and chewing on bones. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please contact Unleashed Pet Rescue. Love, RoxyTags:

help with forced air wood add on wiring?
So after 10 years of needing a new furnace, I finally took the dive and put one in.
I have a LP gas furnace, with a forced air wood add on that sits right beside it.
Well I got the furnace up and running, but when the wood add-on heats up the plenum on the gas furnace, the lp gas furnace fan motor doesn't kick on like my old furnace always did. Is there a jumper I need to install?
I am sure I need to give you more info, but if you can help, please do.
The new furnace has its fan turned on by a timer on the circuit board when the burner starts. The old one probably had a heat actuated fan control. Doubt if you can accomplish what you want easily. You can turn the fan to ON at the tstat if you have A/C and a fan Auto/On switch. If not you can rig up a switch on the side of the furnace between R and G terminals to manually turn the fan On.
If your furnace doesn't have A/C.
You can install a fan limit switch in the furnace plenum. And just connect the ran side to R and G. it will then run the fan.
If you have A/C on the new furnace. That method won't work real well. As it will also back feed the stat and run the A/C on most thermostats.
Swipe the old fan/limit switch from the old furnace and use it.:thumbsup:
As Beenthere said, don't use this method if you have A/C or damage can occur.
wow you guys answer fast.
I still have the old furnace, I will look for the old switch.
It did have ac, but the new furnace does not.
thanks a million!

Originally a 50 ohm, full gallon load. We have
no 50 ohm units left, only 70-90 ohm.
Resistor submerged in oil. We have dozens of these
beauties that came from Scientific Radio that had been used around their
plant. All are used and missing the little cover over the output box on top.
To ship (surface only) we remove the lid and place it on a brand new paint
can, with packing on the inside for shock protection. We then take the new
lid and put it on the Cantenna (with shipping clips), to seal the non-pcb oil
in. Now the two cans are ready for transport. Sounds simple eh? Limited quantities
