Better Work Than Welfare. But What if There's Neither?
By Jason DeParle;
Published: December 18, 1994
Mary Ann Moore surrenders her short night of sleep at 3:30 on a Thursday morning and lifts herself, already dressed, from the dining-room couch she uses as a bed. She rubs her face, groans and moves toward the bathroom, but lands on one of the three small children sharing a mattress at her feet. "Ooo-wee, sor-ree," she says, then creaks down a dark hallway.
For a moment, the night is still. The Chicago wind rattles the loose tenement windows, and a grumbling muffler echoes down an otherwise-silent street. Then Moore slips a Kenny G disc into her oversize player, and a struggle ensues between his soothing sounds and her early-morning flurry. She flicks on the bare bulbs that glare from the ceiling and marches into the room of her 14-year-old son, Marchello. "Get your butt up," she says.
By 4, Moore has slopped a bowl of Fruity Pebbles before her 5-year-old son, Tunde, on a table he shares with scurrying roaches. By 4:15 she is pulling fresh outfits over the rubbery limbs of her 2-year-old twins, who are still asleep. By 4:45 the phone has rung a second time: it is the twins' father, calling to say that he misses the girls. Moore dismisses him with a grunt; she is running late for work.
"C'mon, let's grab bags and go," she says to Marchello, a handsome, upbeat teen-ager who sometimes seems as much her partner as her son. Then just before 5 A.M., Mary Ann Moore, four children and a bag of Pampers file past six locks and down two flights onto the still-dark streets. By 5:30, her worn Plymouth has carried her 11 miles north, from her home on the far South Side of Chicago to her mother's apartment at Cabrini-Green, the midtown public housing project, where the children wait for the school day to dawn. By 6, Moore has traveled six more miles north, to her job as a cook at a Salvation Army homeless shelter, where she feeds 100 people a day.
Hers is the life of a woman who has left welfare for work, a life at the center of a gathering political storm. Ever since Bill Clinton in his Presidential campaign famously promised "to end welfare as we know it," politicians from both parties have been vowing to move millions of other indigent mothers into the labor force. With the Republican rise to power, there is even talk of building orphanages for the children of those who do not make it. Representative Newt Gingrich of Georgia, who will become the first Republican Speaker of the House in four decades, has said he will begin a radical overhaul of the welfare system within his first 100 days. His proposed legislation calls for whatever is "necessary to help, cajole, lure or force adults off welfare and into paid employment."
It is a fine goal, but for two generations it has also been an elusive one. This is so for a variety of reasons that are rarely explored in a two-dimensional public debate, where a handful of advocates defend welfare recipients as the blameless victims of poverty for whom no jobs exist, while the broader public denounces the high life of the dole.
Meanwhile, researchers now believe that poor women leave welfare for work much more often than was previously thought. In one widely cited study, LaDonna A. Pavetti of the Urban Institute found that 64 percent of the women who join the rolls leave within two years, most often because they find work. Yet three-quarters of the women return to welfare, and 45 percent return within a year. The reasons for leaving work range from the economic -- like low wages or a lack of health insurance -- to the personal -- like fights with supervisors or drug abuse. The women themselves also cite a complication that has rarely surfaced in public debate: jealous interference, or even physical assault, from boyfriends threatened by the prospect of their financial independence. Such a tangle of impediments means that Congress faces a doubly difficult challenge in redesigning the system. The task is not just getting women into the work world, but helping them stay there.
At 33, Mary Ann Moore is a walking catalogue of the problems that can arise after a welfare recipient finds work. She has landed and lost at least 11 jobs in the past five years and gone through perhaps twice that many since receiving her first welfare check at 19. She has driven trucks and peddled nuts, fried eggs and bathed invalids. She has cruised the aisles of a mail-order warehouse on roller skates, pulling merchandise from shelves that stretched to the sky. She has strapped a revolver onto her 6-foot frame to guard the high-rises at Cabrini-Green, where she was raised.
Moore has maintained a breakneck schedule at the Salvation Army for the better part of a year, earning enough so that, in November, she no longer qualified for welfare or food stamps. Yet she remains only a sick child or ailing car away from disaster. A spirited, self-mocking woman, she laughs at the length of her resume. "I always get 'em," she says of her many jobs. "It's keeping 'em that's the thing."
"FEEL IT!" MOORE DEMANDS, THRUSTING A room-temperature milk carton into a co-worker's hands. It is midmorning, and Moore is patrolling the antiquated shelter kitchen. Clearing the breakfast dishes from the dining room, Steve, a food aide, has entered the kitchen with a case of untouched cartons, intending to put them back in the refrigerator. Moore wants the case discarded; she fears the milk has spoiled. "Milk," she insists, "is one of those things you got to be real careful with."

The property has been sold, and therefore not taking any further bookings.
We do have another apartment in Puerto Del Carman ref on the Owners Direct Ref: 8067215.
This lovely 1 bedroom semi-detached bungalow located in Las Marinas. A small complex of 44 duplex/bungalows. It is perfect for all your needs. It is fantastic for children of all ages, it is wheelchair friendly and therefore is suited to clients with mobility issues with ramps/steps around the complex. It has a large swimming pool catering for children with paddling pool. The pool area is large and has sun loungers with parasols suitable for old and young alike. In our bungalow you will find one bedroom with a bathroom. There is also a sofa bed, which will sleep 1/2. Recently refurbished with a new kitchen & SMART TV. A kitchenette with table/chairs, 2 ring hob, fridge, toaster, microwave and mobile fan (extra blankets in the wardrobe in bedroom). The lounge has a sofa with lamp/coffee table, SMART TV and TV unit. Private terrace with patio furniture. Perfect for a chilled out relaxing holiday.
The instructions to the property was clear and easy, the bungalow was clean and tidy, could of done with air con as it was really hot, but the fan was ok just had to share it among the 3 of us. The pool was lovely, really enjoyed our stay, well worth every penny. Thanks Richard for a great stay
We stayed 10-17 July and had a wonderful peaceful staying in number 43. Better than we hoped, great bathroom and washing machine, beds comfy, kitchen had everything needed. Fan was most welcome in the bedroom. Complex was great and very quiet most of the time. Sun on the patio was great but could have done with umbrella, the stand was there but no umbrella. The hill is easier if you go around and up past Las Gaviotas Blk 8 and left past Villa Canaima to the top of the road by the small roundabout. Would recommend to anyone who wants a lovely quiet location in Matagorda
Owner was very easy to contact and answered all questions asked. The Bungalow was clean, very comfortable, with plenty of room and had everything I needed for a wonderful stay. The terrace outside was lovely with a communal garden that was well maintained. The complex itself was lovely with a pool which was so clean and with a lovely waterfall and lovely areas for you to sit all around it. Peaceful, quiet, but not too quiet that you felt isolated.
Bus stops, taxi rank, shops and beach all only a 10 minute walk away. Beaches were amazing and the whole area lovely. There was a variety of eating places all reasonably priced and a place where you can book a tour to see more of the island. I had a wonderful 4 weeks there and will certainly be booking this bungalow again. Thank you Richard. It was the best holiday place I have ever been to,
A really Happy Getaway! The Bungalow is well equipped and the patio and gardens were so relaxing. There was a lovely pool and it is a perfect place to get away from it all. It was very good value for money and we were blessed with beautiful weather.
The owner was very easy to contact and super quick to respond - very reassuring. The complex/bungalow entry information was clear and easy to follow, and, on arrival, the bungalow was ready for us to get straight into. Although small, the bungalow was perfectly clean and set up to make the most of the available space perfectly. The shower room/toilet had a bright striped curtain that gave it a really cheery feel and cream fluffy towels were laid out on the end of the twin beds. The kitchen area was brand new with all of the cutlery, appliances and crockery you could think of -big mugs too, great. The bedroom was airy with plenty of storage, also in there was a large robust air-conditioning/heater unit and a powerful table-top fan. We even found a table-top ironing board in the wardrobe. The lounge area was comfortable with a sofa/pull-down double bed, flat screen tv on a unit with cupboards and drawers. Table-top games, books and tourist info leaflets were stored here. The patio area got the full sun from late morning until sundown, perfect to take advantage of the patio furniture and extra large cream canvas sun parasol if the sun became too hot. All in all, we were delighted with the bungalow, we paid a very fair price for what proved to be a little gem. If you are a "Ten-Bob Millionaire" this isn't the place for you. If what you are looking for is somewhere clean, well presented, comfortable and cosy, go for it. We are so very glad we stayed here, it was a lovely base to explore a fantastic island. Would we recommend it to family and friends? Yes - we already have!

Target: Charlie Beck, Los Angeles Chief of Police
Goal: Suspend police officers who brutally attacked 20-year-old man who was skateboarding on the wrong side of the road
Recently, 20-year-old Ronald Weekly Jr. was riding his skateboard in Venice, California when he was attacked by four police officers. The officers tackled Weekly Jr. to the ground and continuously hit him and punched him. A witness took a video on a cell phone that shows the officers punching Weekly Jr. viciously in the face. They claimed that Weekly was resisting arrest, yet he argues that he could not have fought back if he wanted to. With four cops wrestling him to the ground, there is no way he could have fought back.
One of the cops involved says that they approached Weekly Jr. because he was riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the road. How did this innocent misunderstanding on Weekly Jr.'s part result in him having a broken nose, a broken cheekbone, and a concussion? This was clearly an unwarranted and vicious attack against a young man. Weekly's parents believe that he was targeted due to racial profiling. They insist that the police in their area are better trained to work in ethnic areas. These officers must be at least suspended from their jobs if not something more severe. Demand justice for Ronald Weekly Jr. after he was unfairly and viciously beaten by police officers.
Dear Charlie Beck,
Recently, four police officers attacked and beat a young man in Venice. Ronald Weekly was riding his skateboard when four police officers approached him, tackled him to the ground, and began punching and hitting him. The officers claim that Weekly was resisting arrest, yet he argues that, with four cops pinning him to the ground, he couldn't resist arrest even if he wanted to. He couldn't do much more than scream for help while the officers were punching him in the face. Now, Weekly Jr. suffers from a broken nose, broken collar bone, and a concussion.
The actions of these officers were completely unwarranted and vicious. They claim to have approached Weekly Jr. for riding his skateboard on the wrong side of the street, but that type of "crime" should not have had such a violent result. It is possible that Weekly Jr. was racially profiled and thus attacked more harshly. It is necessary for you to better train officers to work in ethnic neighborhoods. If officers do not seem to be able to work in ethnic neighborhoods, they should be placed elsewhere. These four cops should at least be suspended from duty, if not something harsher. It is imperative that you look into this case further in order to get justice for Weekly Jr. These cops must be punished for their brutal actions.

The Federalist Papers and the Foundation of American Conservatism
The Center for Vision & Values
Tuesday, June 7, 2011 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
June 7, 2011 – American Founders Luncheon
Joseph Postell, Ph.D.
"The Federalist Papers and the Foundation of American Conservatism."
Are the Founders responsible for today's big government? Some people think so. Join us for the next American Founders Luncheon Series on June 7 when our speaker Joseph Postell of the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs takes up this question. Postell said, "Although many Americans love the Founders, they often feel uneasy about certain elements of the Founding. Many conservatives argue that the Founders were too modern, and that their emphasis on rights, freedom and equality has actually laid the groundwork for Big Government and its supporting ideology today. Are these conservative critiques of the Founders correct?"
Register here to join us for lunch to hear Postell's answer at Pittsburgh's Rivers Club for $17.76 when he discusses "The Federalist Papers and the Foundation of American Conservatism." Doors open at 11:45 a.m. The program will begin promptly at noon and dismiss before 1 p.m.

Going green: Environmentalists say Earth needs a little TLC. Heres how YOU can help.
April 30, 2008 at 4:39 pm | Mobile Reader | Print

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs are readily available to us for about $2 each. Thats a more expensive purchase, but they use less power and last up to ten times longer than your average light bulb.
News station reports are chalk full of disturbing reports about global warming, endangered animals facing extinction and the realization that they way we live will have to change if we want a clean future and a healthy Earth.
But we shouldnt feel overwhelmed. We come into this world taking baby steps, so I believe thats probably the way every journey should begin.
I searched the Internet and rounded up 10 of the easiest ways for you to start moving towards a greener lifestyle.
1. Make the switch to Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs). Thanks to environmental commitments with large retailers, CFLs are readily available to us for about $2 each. Thats a more expensive purchase, but they use less power and last up to ten times longer than your average light bulb.
2. Monitor your thermostat. Make a note of where you usually keep your thermostat set at. Then only go up two degrees in the summer and down two degrees in the winter.
3. Clean or replace your air conditioning filter. The filter inside your air conditioner can get pretty grimy and a clogged system has to work harder to produce cool air which means higher power bills and the creation of greenhouse emissions.
4. Unplug idle appliances and electronic devices. Just because the iPod charger doesnt have the iPod actually in the dock doesnt mean that its not drawing energy just by being plugged in.
5. Buy a low-flow shower head with a shut-off valve. These affordable shower heads will save you both water and energy. This will help with neighborhood wastewater issues and lessen the load of a water heater.
6. Drive smarter. Save fuel by keeping your tires properly inflated. Using cruise control on the highway for up for better mileage and dont drive aggressively. Turn off your engine rather than idling excessively. Skip the drive-through window and walk inside.
7. Get an annual tune-up for your car. At $200 to $300, a full engine tune-up sounds like a pricey way to save fuel and money, but in actuality its a good investment. For example, a faulty oxygen sensor can strip your car up to 3 miles per gallon. Worn spark plugs and and dirty air filters can cost you another 4 miles per gallon. This all adds up - and fast!
8. Dust off that bike. Bicycles are the most efficient form of human transportation and the only thing they burn is calories. So consider whether bike commuting might fit your lifestyle. Its environmentally friendly.
9. Go meatless once a week. If youre not already a vegetarian, consider cutting back on the amount of meat you consume. Livestock production absorbs 16 pounds of grain and soy feed for every pound of meat that actually gets to the plate. Each calorie of animal protein requires 78 calories of fossil fuels to produce, and irrigation directly associated with livestock production amounts to about half of the water consumed in the United States.
10. Buy local. Buy in season. The typical carrot travels 1,838 miles before it ends up in your kitchen. Thats a lot of miles and a tremendous amount of wasted fossil fuels and packaging. Buying regionally produced food is a keystone. Not only does it help with energy costs associated with shipping bulk produce, it keeps a portion of your grocery money close to where you live. So check out your local farmers market.
By the time you incorporate these greener steps into your lifestyle, youll probably start thinking of your own.

Malik was asked about a man who forgot the tawaf al-ifada until he had left Makka and returned to his community and he said, "I think that he should go back and do the tawaf al-ifada, as long as he has not had sexual relations with women. If, however, he has had sexual relations with women, then he should not only return and do the tawaf al-ifada, but he should also do an umra and sacrifice an animal. He should not buy theanimal in Makka and sacrifice it there, but if he has not brought one with him from wherever it was he set out to do umra, he should buy one in Makka and then take it outside the limits of the Haram and drive it from there to Makka and sacrifice it there."

Chapter No: 44, The Oath of Qasama
Hadith no: 2
Yahya said that Malik said, "When the relatives of the deceased accept the blood-money then it is inherited according to the Book of Allah. Daughters of the dead man inherit and so do sisters, and whichever women would inherit from him ordinarily. If the women do not take all his inheritance, then what remains goes to the agnatic relations who most deserve to inherit from him in conjunction with the women." Malik said, "When one of the heirs of a man killed by mistake attempts to take his due from the blood-money while his companions are absent, he may not do that, and he has no right to any of the blood-money, however large or small, unless the qasama has been completed by him. If he swears fifty oaths then he has the right to his portion of the blood-money. That is because the blood-money is not established as due without there being fifty oaths, and the blood-money is not established as due unless the responsibility for the blood is established. If any one of the heirs comes after that he swears a number of the oaths commensurate with his fraction of the inheritance and takes his right until all the heirs exact their complete right. If a maternal uncle comes he has one sixth and must swear one sixth of the fifty oaths. So whoever swears may take his due from the blood-money and whoever abstains annuls his right. If one of the heirs is absent or is a child who has not reached puberty, those who are present swear fifty oaths and if the one who was absent comes after that or the child reaches puberty, they swear. and they swear according to their due of the blood-money and according to their shares of inheritance from it." Yahya said that Malik said, "This is the best I have heard on the matter."

Chapter No: 44, The Oath of Qasama
Hadith no: 2
Yahya said that Malik said, "The way of doing things in our community about which there is no dispute is that women do not swear in the swearing for the intentional act. If the murdered man only has female relatives, the women have no right to swear for blood and no pardon in murder." Yahya said that Malik said about a man who is murdered, "If the paternal relatives of the murdered man or his mawali say, 'We swear and we demand our companion's blood,' that is their right." Malik said, "If the women want to pardon him, they cannot do that. The paternal relatives and mawali are entitled to do that more than them because they are the ones who demand blood and swear for it." Malik said, "If the paternal relatives or mawali pardon after they demand blood and the women refuse and say, 'We will not abandon our right against the murderer of our companion,' the women are more entitled to that because whoever takes retaliation is more entitled than the one who leaves it among the women and paternal relatives when the murder is established and killing obliged." Malik said, "At least two claimants must swear in murder. The oaths are repeated by them until they swear fifty oaths, then they have the right to blood. That is how things are done in our community." Malik said, "When people beat a man and he dies in their hands, they are all slain for him. If he dies after their beating, there is swearing. If there is swearing, it is only against one man and only he is slain. We have never known the swearing to be against more than one man." Malik spoke about a slave who had his hand or foot broken and then the break mended . He said, "The one who injured him is not obliged to pay anything. If that break causes him loss or scar, the one who injured him must pay according to what he diminished of the value of the slave." Malik said, "What is done in our community about retaliation between slaves is that it is like retaliation between freemen. The life of the slave-girl for the life of the slave, and her injury for his injury. When a slave intentionally kills a slave, the master of the murdered slave has a choice. If he wishes, he kills him, and if he wishes, he takes the blood-money. If he takes the blood-money, he takes the value of his slave. If the owner of the slave who killed wishes to give the value of the murdered slave, he does it. If he wishes, he surrenders his slave. If he surrenders him, he is not obliged to do anything other than that. When the owner of the murdered slave takes the slave who murdered and is satisifed with him, he must not kill him. All retaliations between slaves for cutting off of the hand and foot and such things are dealt with in the same way as in the murder." Malik said about a muslim slave who injures a jew or christian, "If the master of the slave wishes to pay blood-money for him according to the injury, he does it. Or else he surrenders him and he is sold, and the jew or christian is given the blood-money of the injury or all the price of the slave if the blood-money is greater than his price. The jew or christian is not given a muslim slave."

Canon's Big Gun
Fujio Mitarai has turned his camera company into a profit engine. Now his sights are set on flat-screen TV.
Canon CEO Fujio Mitarai to explain how he turned a floundering Japanese
electronics maker into one of the world's most profitable technology
giants, and he's apt to tell you about an Internal Revenue Service
auditor named Greg. It was 1966, and Mitarai had been put in charge of
accounting at Canon's new U.S. subsidiary. In its first year the
venture reported a profit of just $6,000, a sum so paltry it aroused
suspicion at the IRS. After scouring Canon's books for a month and
verifying its U.S. earnings to be every bit as meager as claimed, Greg,
the agency's lead auditor, offered Mitarai some free advice: Deposit
your accounts receivable in the bank, close the company, and go home.
'Go back to Japan!' That's what he told me," Mitarai says, slapping the
arm of his chair in an airy conference room atop the company's suburban
Tokyo headquarters. "U.S. banks were offering 5% on time deposits. If I
couldn't do better, Greg said, I was wasting my time." To a young
Japanese executive steeped in a business culture that prized technical
achievement, export volumes, and market share, the admonition came as a
shock. "That's when it dawned on me," says Mitarai. "The primary
purpose of any business is to make a profit. If you can't beat bank
savings rates, your company has no reason to exist."
Mitarai has
taken Greg's advice to heart. As head of Canon USA from 1979 to 1989,
he beat the savings rate every year-usually by a wide margin. And since
he was named CEO of the parent company in 1995, Mitarai has transformed
Canon from a debt-ridden industry also-ran into a money machine. During
his tenure, Canon has emerged as the world's largest manufacturer of
office copying equipment and has eclipsed Sony as the world's No. 1
maker of digital cameras. Sales are up 40%, while earnings have
improved sixfold. In 2004, the last full year for which figures are
available, Canon reported a net profit of $3.1 billion on sales of
$32.1 billion-making almost as much money as Hewlett-Packard, a
business more than twice its size.
Canon's success is reflected in
its share price, about $62 in mid-January, a threefold improvement
since Mitarai took over. The company, which trades on the New York
Stock Exchange, is the darling of global investors hunting for value in
the world's second-largest economy. Indeed, non-Japanese investors own
more than half of Canon's shares. Goldman Sachs analyst Shin Horie
predicts that ratio will climb even higher as overseas investors gain
confidence in Japan's recovery.
Mitarai is arguably the best CEO
Japan has seen in a decade. True, Toyota rakes in more cash. But Canon
has higher margins — higher than any other Japanese manufacturer's.
And while the main task for Toyota's skippers has been keeping the
juggernaut on course, Mitarai had to bring his ship about sharply just
to keep it from going under. The turnaround may not have been as
dramatic as Nissan's, but changes at that company came only after
foreign investors gained management control. Mitarai turned Canon
around before being forced to by outsiders. His willingness to make
tough choices early and independently is the difference between success
at Canon and the mess at Sony.
Mitarai, 70, insists the best is yet
to come. He has rolled out an ambitious five-year growth program for
Canon that he says will keep profits high and lift sales beyond $50
billion by 2010. Longer term, he's betting billions on a new technology
called surface-conduction electron-emitter display, or SED, which he
believes will enable Canon to muscle into the flat-screen-TV market and
occupy a central role in the daily lives of global consumers.
Mitarai's success has brought him a new challenge. Late last year,
Toyota chairman Hiroshi Okuda asked Mitarai to succeed him as chairman
of Keidanren, the influential business lobby that represents Japan's
largest corporations. It's an unexpected honor-the post, which will
make Mitarai the public face of Japan Inc., has long been reserved for
leaders from the nation's smokestack giants — but it has big
implications for Canon. Past Keidanren chairmen have devoted nearly all
their time to the role, surrendering day-to-day management of their
companies. Mitarai has no obvious successor at Canon, and some analysts
have cited his Keidanren appointment as a negative for the company's
stock. He says he hasn't made a decision about succession — and
doesn't plan to until May, the month before his Keidanren term begins.
But in an interview with FORTUNE, he dropped a hint that he means to
keep his day job. "I'll have to think about it a bit more," he says.
"I've served as a Keidanren vice chairman for the past four years, and
all that time I was CEO. I already know most of what goes on."
Mitarai opt to stay on as CEO at Canon, it would hardly be the first
time he has flouted convention. In the Western media he is often
portrayed as a traditionalist for venerating old-fashioned Japanese
management practices like lifetime employment and for sniping at the
American system of hiring outside directors. He's also known for
questioning the wisdom of moving Japanese factories to China. (Wages
may be cheaper in China, he says, "but labor accounts for only about
10% of total production costs. Instead of rushing overseas to get those
small savings, doesn't it make more sense to focus on how to reduce the
other 90%?") Yet at home he's considered a maverick. He keeps a low
profile, and when he does speak out, he has an un-Japanese tendency to
say what he really thinks. In the Japanese press he's often described
as an American-style reformer for his emphasis on the bottom line and
hailed as an "internationalist" for his 23 years of management
experience in the U.S. Mitarai prefers a different label. "I'm a
pragmatist," he says. "I like to do what works."
Young Fujio mitarai
seemed destined to become a doctor. He grew up in a family of
physicians: His father, uncles, and three older brothers all practiced
medicine. But as a young boy during World War II, he was so horrified
by the cries of the wounded that he shunned medicine and earned a
degree in law instead. Upon graduation in 1961, he went to work for the
burgeoning camera-manufacturing business run by his father's younger
brother Takeshi, a Tokyo obstetrician who had launched the company as a
sideline before the war. By the early 1960s, Uncle Takeshi's modest
optical-instruments venture was cranking out cameras for consumers
throughout Japan, expanding into office equipment, and wresting market
share overseas from German camera makers. By the time Fujio was
dispatched to New York City in 1966, Canon boasted an office on Fifth
Avenue and $3 million in U.S. sales.
From the beginning, Canon's
culture was dominated by scientists and technicians. It attracted some
of Japan's most talented tinkers and entrepreneurs, invested heavily in
research and development, and claimed a slew of new patents every year.
But by the 1980s, Mitarai began to worry that the company's enthusiasm
for technology was hurtling out of control. The spirit of freewheeling
independence that had generated some of Canon's most successful
products was giving way to anarchy. As Mitarai saw it, Canon was
devolving into a clutch of warring fiefdoms, each with its own strategy
and free to lavish capital and manpower on pet projects without regard
for the rest of the company. Money-losing ventures staggered on year
after year, siphoning resources from products with genuine promise. The
company's debt ballooned. No one wanted Canon's stock. To Mitarai, it
seemed that his physician uncle's brainchild had suffered a "collapse
of its central nervous system."
After he was called back to Japan to
head the company's administrative division in 1989, Mitarai did his
best to sound the alarm. He clashed repeatedly with other executives.
"I offered all kinds of suggestions for reform, but no one listened,"
recalls Mitarai. "They were all techies. It was as if I spoke a
different language." The odds that his suggestions would ever be
implemented seemed all the more remote when, in 1993, the board chose
Takeshi's eldest son, Hajime — a Stanford-trained electrical engineer
ten years Mitarai's junior — as CEO.
But Hajime's death from
pneumonia in 1995 thrust Mitarai into the corner suite. He set a new
tone from the outset, yanking the plug on Canon's personal-computer
business. By 1999 he had ordered the company out of six other
money-losing divisions, including liquid-crystal displays, photovoltaic
batteries, and electric typewriters. The announcements stunned Japan
and drew resistance inside Canon. Mitarai reckons it took two years for
enough of the old guard to retire to give him real control.
sought further savings on the factory floor, experimenting with a new
manufacturing approach known as cell production that replaced conveyor
belts and old-fashioned assembly lines with small teams of workers who
produced entire products in carefully considered, sequenced steps. In
early trials the method yielded dramatic gains in productivity. Workers
limited to the pace of slower colleagues under the old system were free
to produce at their own speed. By 2000, Canon had ripped out more than
12 miles of conveyor belts from its factories and implemented cell
production throughout the company. The switch enabled Canon to slash
inventories, speed response time, and bring new designs to market
One thing Mitarai hasn't scrapped is the Canon tradition of
investing in research. The company spent $2.5 billion on R&D in
2004, and Mitarai wants to raise that figure to $4.5 billion. Last year
Canon ranked just behind IBM as a recipient of new U.S. patents. But
Mitarai has worked hard to change the mindset. Directors who gather at
7:45 most mornings for a meeting outside Mitarai's office know they
must pull together and keep the focus on making money.
Canon is in a
strong position to continue doing just that in its major business
groups. Markets for printers and copiers, which account for 67% of
Canon sales, are fiercely competitive and have showed signs of
maturity. But Canon is benefiting from the transition to color machines
and profiting from increased sales of toner and ink cartridges, as well
as new equipment. Laser printers, the heavy-duty workhorses used in
large offices, are a key segment for Canon, generating a third of its
annual operating profit. Even though Canon claims only 5% of the global
market-it trails HP, Konica Minolta, Seiko Epson, and Xerox-those
figures don't reflect its strength as the manufacturer of key
components that account for most of the value of laser printers sold by
Canon hasn't fared as well with inkjet printers, trailing HP,
which has a 40% global market share, compared with Canon's 20%. Its
photo printers are popular, but the company has yet to challenge HP and
Lexmark in sales of multifunction printers that are big in the U.S. And
at the low end, Canon faces growing pressure from Dell, which last year
launched its own line of inkjet printers and has carved out a market
share of about 7%.
Those difficulties have been more than offset by
big gains in sales of digital cameras. Last year Canon bolstered its
lead over Sony by selling nearly 17 million digital cameras, boosting
its worldwide market share to 20%. In the higher-margin digital SLR
segment, Canon, only three years after introducing its first
entry-level model, now claims a 59% global share.
Mitarai is betting
that, five years on, the picture will be just as bright for flat-screen
TVs using the SED technology Canon developed jointly with Toshiba.
Canon engineers, who have been tinkering with SED since 1986, say it
will yield images of superior quality to liquid-crystal or plasma
screens while consuming far less power. A prototype at the headquarters
of the Canon-Toshiba joint venture near Tokyo seemed to live up to the
hype: images that are almost palpable, rich colors, and clarity even
with rapid movement. It also got a good reception at the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month. "Five minutes with this sleek
puppy, and plasma and LCD were but a memory," raved a technology writer
for the Atlanta Constitution. "Daddy wants one."
The new SED
displays operate on the same principle as cathode-ray television,
emitting light by shooting electrons into a phosphor-coated screen. But
where cathode-ray TVs use a single large electron gun that has to be
set back from the glass screen (meaning they're usually as deep as they
are wide), SED screens are illuminated with millions of tiny electron
guns known as emitters that can be aimed at point-blank range, enabling
images to be projected across wide screens only a few centimeters deep.
Canon has invested $1.8 billion in developing the technology for the
screens and building the factories to produce them. It plans to roll
out the first 55-inch screens for consumers in Japan later this year.
Mitarai says he wants to offer the screens for about the same price as
LCD and plasma TVs of comparable size. He hopes to expand capacity to
three million panels a year and capture at least 20% of the global
market for flat-screen TVs by 2010. "We have big plans for the digital
television business," Mitarai announced at a Canon exhibition late last
With SED screens, Mitarai is thinking big in more ways than
one. The common TV, he predicts, is destined to morph into something
far more useful-what he calls a "multifunction information device"-with
potential applications in other areas where Canon has patents and
expertise. "In the near future," says Mitarai, "SED displays will serve
as an image and information window in living rooms, linked through a
wireless connection with digital cameras, digital video camcorders,
printers, and other imaging devices."
The question is whether costs
can be lowered far enough and fast enough to turn a profit. Goldman's
Horie has his doubts, but he remains bullish. If the SED falls behind
projections, he reasons, Canon's pragmatic boss won't hesitate to close
it down

* TSX down 131.92 points, or 1.1 pct, at 12,229.28 * All 10 sectors lower, led by energy shares By Claire Sibonney TORONTO, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index skidded to a near two-week low on Wednesday as investors turned their focus from Barack Obama's win in the U.S. presidential election to the "fiscal cliff" that now confronts the world's largest economy. Emboldened by a resounding election victory, Obama immediately pledged to reach across America's political divide to seek deals to resolve stubborn issues that dogged his first term. But the Toronto market was skeptical that Obama and Congress would find a quick resolution on the fiscal cliff - a mix of tax increases and spending cuts due to extract some $600 billion from the economy at the end of the year barring a deal - and all of the main index's 10 sectors were in negative territory. The retreat was led by energy shares, off 2.1 percent, as oil prices fell. Suncor Energy dropped 3.1 percent to C$33.53, Canadian Natural Resources lost 3.3 percent to C$29.22, and Cenovus Energy was down 2.4 percent at C$33.76. "Temporarily you're going to see weakening demand for commodities. And that's being reflected in the market today," said Michael Sprung, president at Sprung Investment Management. "(U.S. political gridlock) is not good for the Canadian market. Though I believe eventually the U.S. is going to approve the Keystone pipeline, having the Democrats in power may (push it) further in the future." At 11:12 a.m. (1512 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 131.92 points, or 1.1 percent, at 12,229.28. Earlier, it hit its weakest level since Oct. 25 but was still holding up better than Wall Street, down more than 2 percent. "The market is worrying about 'Will there be any change in the stubbornness displayed by both sides?'" said Gavin Graham, president at Graham Investment Strategy. "Because if there isn't then you could see the major driver of the North American and indeed the world economy ... shutting down government in less than two months." The problems that dogged Obama in his first term, which cast a long shadow over his 2008 campaign message of hope and change, still confront him. He must tackle the government's $1 trillion annual deficit, rein in the $16 trillion national debt, overhaul expensive social programs and deal with the split Congress. Weighing on broader sentiment, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi underscored the weakness in Europe's economy. Some Canadian earnings reports also dampened sentiment. One of the heaviest decliners on the index was fertilizer producer Agrium Inc, down nearly 10 percent to C$96.00, after it reported lower quarterly profit due to downtime at its potash mine and dragged-out contract talks with China and India. Bombardier dropped 4.4 percent to C$3.45 after it said it would delay by about six months the first flight of its C-Series jetliner because of issues related to suppliers, and that it would cut about 1,200 jobs in its train manufacturing division. Enbridge was down 0.7 percent to C$39.81. Canada's second-largest pipeline company reported a third-quarter profit as losses on financial derivatives fell and it carried more oil and natural gas on some of its pipelines. WestJet Airlines slipped 0.3 percent to C$17.91 despite reporting an 80 percent rise in third-quarter profit as it flew more passengers.

A volcanic edifice exerts a large load at Earth's surface and modifies the stress field at depth. We investigate how this affects upward dyke propagation towards the surface. For given edifice dimensions and pressure conditions in the deep magma source, there is a critical density threshold above which magmas cannot reach the surface. This density threshold is a decreasing function of edifice height. For edifice heights in the range 0-3000 m, the density threshold spans the density range of common natural magmas (between 2700 and 2300 kg m−3). With time, differentiation in a magma chamber generates increasingly evolved magmas with decreasing densities, which favours eruption. However, the edifice grows simultaneously at the surface, which counterbalances this effect. The general tendency is to gradually prevent more and more evolved magmas from reaching the surface. A volcanic edifice acts as a magma filter which prevents eruption and affects the chemical evolution of the chamber through its control on magma withdrawal. Thus, one may not consider that eruption products are random samples of an evolving magma reservoir. The partial destruction of an edifice may lead to renewed eruption of primitive and dense magmas.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) Family members prepared Saturday to bury seven people killed in a mobile home park massacre in southeast Georgia, while also grappling with the shocking news that one of their own relatives had been charged in the slayings.
Police arrested Guy Heinze Jr., 22, late Friday the killings that included his own father. Heinze reported the gruesome scene to authorities in a chilling emergency call, frantically telling a dispatcher "My whole family's dead" after returning home from a night out to the mobile home where he lived with his father and other relatives.
After a week working a case so murky they could not say whether a killer was on the loose, police said Heinze was responsible and charged him with eight counts of first-degree murder. Among the dead were seven of his relatives, plus a boyfriend of one of Heinze's cousins.
Joseph L. West, the eighth victim, had enlisted Heinze a few times to help work on his family's shrimp boat, said Otis West, the slain man's brother. He said he didn't know Heinze well, but he seemed like "a good guy."
"To tell the truth, if you had ever been around him, he didn't seem like anybody who would do something like this," West said Saturday. "But you never know."
As other family members mourned the deaths and prepared to bury their loved ones together at a graveside service, Heinze sat in the Glynn County jail.
"It floored them," family spokesman Clint Rowe said of the arrest. "He was part of the family."
Heinze was among 10 people living in the 980-square-foot home that his uncle, Rusty Toler Sr., rented for $405 a month.
Gail Montgomery, who manages the New Hope Plantation mobile home park, said Toler had taken in Heinze, his father and other relatives because they'd fallen on hard times and couldn't find work.
"They did not deserve what happened to them," Montgomery said. "If he did this, I hope he gets what he deserves."
Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said two new pieces of information led authorities to charge Heinze late Friday.
He would not say what that information was or how the victims died last weekend at a mobile home park a few miles north of Brunswick, a port city midway between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida.
The chief also declined to say whether police believe Heinze acted alone.
"Right now, I don't know," Doering said. "I do know he's involved... I would have not allowed him to be arrested if I was not comfortable with that."
Doering, who insists revealing details about the slayings could jeopardize the investigation, said he wasn't sure Heinze was responsible for the deaths until late Friday afternoon.
Hours after the bodies were found, Heinze was charged with evidence tampering, lying to police and drug possession. The arrest warrant for the evidence tampering charge says Heinze admitted removing a shotgun from the home and trying to hide it from police in the trunk of his car. He told police he thought the gun was stolen.
Police had said they didn't suspect him in the killings, and he was released on bond on the lesser charges for about two hours Friday before he was charged with murder and returned to the county jail.
A phone message left for Heinze Jr.'s attorney, Ron Harrison, was not immediately returned. Harrison said earlier this week that Heinze denied any part in the slayings.
In the call to emergency dispatchers early Aug. 29, Heinze said it appeared the victims had been beaten to death.
"My whole family's dead!" he screamed. At one point he returned to the mobile home to find his cousin Michael Toler, whom he said had Down syndrome, barely breathing.
"Michael's alive, tell them to hurry!" Heinze yelled in the background as a maintenance man at the mobile home park spoke with a dispatcher. "He's beat up! His face is smashed in!"
Toler died later at a hospital. The seven other victims were found dead at the scene. The sole survivor was 3-year-old Byron Jimerson Jr., the son of one of the slain women. He was critically injured and remained hospitalized.
Heinze was also charged with attempted murder in the attack on the boy.
On Friday, as Heinze was arrested, family members gathered for a funeral home visitation.
The dead included the suspect's father, Guy Heinze Sr., 45; his uncle, Toler Sr., 44; and his aunt, Brenda Gail Falagan, 49. Also slain were Toler Sr.'s four children — Chrissy Toler, 22; Russell D. Toler Jr., 20; Michael Toler, 19; and Michelle Toler, 15.
West, 30, was Chrissy Toler's boyfriend. Byron is her son.
Montgomery, the manager of mobile home park, said the arrest leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
"I'm feeling just like everyone else is right now, we're all shocked," she said. "We don't know what any of the circumstances are. We don't know if there was more than one or if it was him by himself."

Things are getting even hotter over at the Broke Straight Boys site, but things are getting a little arrogant too. Lucas Weston is back to ease his straight lad cock into another guy's ass, and he's not at all happy about it. He makes his attitude clear, which some amongst you might not want to hear. But even with all his verbal ramblings, there's no ignoring his hard cock when he's sucking on Brandon's dick! Brandon is of course more into all of this these days, helping his sucking friend out with some jerking before offering his own mouth. But this is really all about the fucking - and it's bareback, too! With a little less complaining, Lucas lines his dick up with that hot straight hole and eases his meat inside. All thoughts are seemingly gone as he fucks the cum out of Brandon!

"If you are in the Baltimore are again, there are two places..."
If you are in the Baltimore are again, there are two places that I can recommend. Both are about 20 miles northeast of the city and are fantastic. The first is Sunny Day Cafe, 101 S. Main Street in Bel Air and is a marvelous place to have breakfast all day (7am - 3pm), daily specials, wraps, subs, etc. But the best is the crepes, both savory and sweet, that are made to order. I have created my own crepe, and I know that you like to make your own creations. The second place is down the street in Abingdon called Box Hill Pizzeria (2915 Emmorton Rd. They are famous for ---- drum roll please--- crab cakes. They are wonderful. There pizza is top notch as well. Love your show, I have been watching a lot over the past week, and after I am allowed to return to work (and eat solid food), I will be at Sunny Day. Have a wonderful week.

Re: AW: [PanoToolsNG] Re: New (to me) HDR tool - Picturenaut
Expand Messages
- Menu:
The strange thing is, that your menu is named differently than the one
from the version i downloaded some minutes ago (Mine has a date of
My menu entry reads "Generate HDRI..." yours "New...". Maybe there was a
short time where a wrong build version was uploaded to the website? Then
it may help to download the version again.
Batch processing:
Is is possible to batch process as long as you aren't afraid of using a
command line. Look in the "bin" subdirectory where you unzipped
picturenaut, e.g. "C:\Program Files\picturenaut\bin" - there are several
useful command line tools.
All programs can be called with the "-?" parameter to learn more about
possible options.
"mkhdri.exe" will generate the HDR from a set of LDR images.
"hdri2ldri.exe" will map down to LDR using the adaptive logarithmic
"pptmo.exe" will map down to LDR using the adaptive photoreceptor algorithm.
"tiif2jpeg.exe" tiff to jpeg conversion tool
Simple command line usage example to generate and tonemap a HDRI:
mkhdri.exe -out:result.hdr image1.tif image2.tif image3.tif
pptmo.exe result.hdr tonemapped.tif
Here is a starting point for a convinient drag&drop workflow (i
personally love to work that way):
In the directory where the above .exe files reside, create a file
"convert.bat" with the following contents:
cd %~dp0
mkhdri.exe -out:%~dpn1.hdr %*
pptmo.exe %~dpn1.hdr %~dpn1_tonemapped.tif
Now you can drag your source LDR brackets onto the batch file.
After processing, you will find 2 new files in your source image
directory, named after the first input image: The generated .hdr file
and a simple tonemapped version with a "_tonemapped" appendix... eg. you
dragged "image1.tif image2.tif image3.tif" onto the batch. The result
are 2 files: "image1.hdr" and "image1_tonemapped.tif".
Best regards

City Commissioners Clear the Way for Take-Over of Benton Harbor
The corrupt Benton Harbor city commissioners approved the sale of five parcels at Pipestone St. and Broadway Ave. to Star Development and Financial Corporation of Ann Arbor.
Run by Sam Thomas, Star Development bought the vacant property and land, worth well over half a million dollars, for only $50,575.00.
The commissioners further approved a twenty year tax break for Star Development. Mr. Thomas said he is in the process of applying to the state for tax credit to finance the project. The property is in a Renaissance Zone. I expect Jennifer Granholm and the State of Michigan to do whatever it takes to assist Mr. Thomas and Whirlpool in this and other deals to take over Benton Harbor.
City commissioner Harold Hampton remarked during the meeting, ³Somebody is getting paid under the table for this great deal.² He may have been one who was left out of the payment loop.
Star Development and Financial Corp. have done nothing but take from the city of Benton Harbor. Everything that Whirlpool does not take, Mr. Thomas will.
Then, in the same meeting, the city commissioners voted to raise water and sewer rates for all Benton Harbor residents, including senior citizens.
When will the people of Benton Harbor say enough is enough and fight back?
I am asking the justice department to do a complete investigation of city manager Pete Mitchell, city commissioners Glen Yarbrough and Ralph Crenshaw, and all of the city business deals they have been involved in. Pete Mitchell must go!
Final note: On Martin Luther King¹s birthday the ³Tom of the Year² award goes to city manager Pete Mitchell for continuing to give the city of Benton Harbor to Whirlpool and Sam Thomas from Ann Arbor. City commissioner Glen Yarbrough received the second place award, followed by third place winner Ralph Crenshaw.
When will the shame stop?

Uhm... 1/2 a million dollars? Was there anyone else willing to take it? The area is crime ridden and not very attractive. I mean there are those new housing units nearby, but unless the area is built up by businesses then those new houses will be trashed soon as well.

Radu Sirbu is married to his wife Ana and they have been together now for 11 years, married for seven. They have a little daughter named Anastasia Dalia, who just turned three years old. Arsenie Todiras is not married and neither is Dan Balan.
Radu is performing with his wife in a new group called Mr. & Ms. They've just introduced a new song and video called "Love is not a reason to cry"... with an album soon to follow. Check it out on YouTube.
Dan Balan is now known also as Crazy Loop and has had a national hit in Romania with the same name... he's also recently introduced a new song and video called, "Joanna (Shut up)". Both catchy tunes. His album, "Power of Shower" is excellent.
Arsenie Todiras performs under the name Arsenium, and he's also just released a new video and song called "Wake up". He's expected to release a new Dance/Club style album in October.
It seems that the last couple of months have been busy for the former members of O-Zone. I wish they could still be together... they were magic that way. :D
