DWTS11, The Finale – Who's Dancing What…And When?
Since Heidi is tied up creating as many email accounts as she can to vote tonight, and I owe her one for covering the rankings in my absence this week, I will be covering what everyone will be dancing 🙂
I'll try to keep this brief, since a) I'm busy at work, and b) I feel like commenting once again on how "crazy" this season has been is just beating a dead horse at this point, quite frankly. I also haven't received definitive confirmation on some of these dances, so bear with me as I guestimate. And as always, if the contestants tweet that they're going first, second, third, etc. we will do our best to update the post. So here we go!
Jennifer & Derek
Monday: "Redemption" paso doble & freestyle to a song from Dirty Dancing – most likely "Do You Love Me"
Tuesday: Argentine tango?, instant choreography cha-cha
The redemption paso doble is no big surprise for me – it was their lowest-scoring dance of the season, and the only one I think they really fouled up on. Will be interesting to see them do another paso, since paso choreography really seems to be Derek's strong suit. No idea what they've got in store for their freestyle – Heidi, has Derek tweeted anything interesting? Or is he being his usual tight-lipped self? 😛 Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be great, despite Jen not being able to do any lifts. I'm guessing that they will probably pick their Argentine tango as their "favorite" dance, since it's probably their strongest dance technically and I have a feeling they will probably pull out a perfect score with it this time around. I'm sure the instant choreo cha-cha won't be any big deal for them – Jen's got 2 strong cha-chas under her belt already, so this should be a walk in the park for them. (Heidi's Note: The ONLY thing Derek has said via Twitter is that he loves the Black Eyed Peas version of "Time of My Life" – and that it's so "relevant". From Derek, that could be a huge clue…or he could just be being Derek. You never know. 🙂 That would certainly be one way to throw a bone to Dirty Dancing AND still do something completely different.)
Kyle & Lacey
Monday: "Redemption" foxtrot & freestyle
Tuesday: Cha-cha/jive/???, instant choreography cha-cha
Glad to see these two will be revamping that tacky Charlie's Angels foxtrot they did – while it wasn't necessarily bad, it wasn't really foxtrot, per se. Again, no idea what these two are up to for their freestyle – it will undoubtedly be extremely high-energy, and according to Lacey, will be "like nothing you've ever seen before". If anyone else has seen any revealing tweets about it, let us know. Again, total guess here with the favorite dance – I'm leaning towards either their cha-cha or jive, since they were both strong, high-energy dances with good scores that really play off of Kyle's charisma. And again with these two, I don't see them struggling with the instant cha-cha – Kyle's got enough stage presence to power through just about anything!
Bristol & Mark
Monday: "Redemption" jive & freestyle to a song from Chicago – most likely "Cell Block Tango"
Tuesday: Tango/quickstep/paso doble/???, instant choreography cha-cha
Ok, I'm actually a little pumped to see these two redeem themselves after the dreaded ape suit jive…although I'm not sure that Bristol will have the endurance to pound out both the jive and a high-energy freestyle tonight. She did seem to run out of steam fairly early in their first jive (then again, maybe it was heat exhaustion from the ape suit…hehe). As for their freestyle, the only thing I've heard (and this is probably 5th/6th-hand info that I heard on Twitter) is that someone allegedly spotted these two trying to find a copy of Chicago on DVD last week, which is leading everyone to believe they're going for a Chicago-themed freestyle. Not sure this is the best idea, since that movie has already been done, but at this point I figure that she may as well have fun, with all the crap that's going on around her. Total speculation once more on the favorite dance – I would go with the tango if I were them, since it's likely the dance that will get them the best score, but they also seemed pretty fond of their quickstep & paso doble. I think Bristol may be the only one that really struggles with the instant choreo – Mark seemed to have to power her through every step of the instant samba, and he's probably going to have to do it again this time, lest she forget her choreography (again). (Heidi Note: Mark also walked into the rehearsal studio with a bowler hat on the other night – another nod to Chicago?)
Overall, I think it will be a pretty good show both nights, but the setup seems to favor those who actually dance well – meaning that, barring the judges being all sunshine & rainbows & throwing out every paddle lower than 9, Jennifer & Kyle will likely get a decent points spread over Bristol, assuming she doesn't miraculously start dancing fabulously (highly doubt it). But even if they do get a decent spread…that doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels and assume justice will prevail, people. VOTE. Never before on DWTS do we here at Pure DWTS think it's been so important. Make those email accounts so you can vote, vote, vote online; get your text and phone votes in early in the broadcast to avoid the dreaded phone overload errors after the show. Spread the word. Dooooo it.
Update, 3:51 PM EST: Due to our resident insider, Buttercup, that has yet to lead us astray (and some logical thinking), I generally feel confident in reporting that Jen & Derek's freestyle will be a song from Dirty Dancing and Bristol & Mark's freestyle will be a song from Chicago. Take it with a grain of salt if you wish – but I wouldn't post it if I didn't feel pretty confident in it 😉

BoRg^F^Ever The way seti works is you download the screensaver form Seti. Setup the screensaver to come on after one minute and set your 'screen blank' to one minute (this makes seti twice as fast). The programme will download 1m 47s worth of radio signal data (350KB in size) and then works through it looking for any evidence of non-random data. When it's finished, it dials up and sends back the completed work unit (known as a 'WU') and downloads a new one. This is all very easy to automate. Set seti to work in screen-saver mode and to connect when it needs to (you may need to enable auto-dialling in DUN). This way your PC is working whenever you aren't!

Apple has been granted two patents by the US Patent & Trademark Office.
Patent number 7940843 is for a method of implementing improved rate control for a multimedia compression and encoding system. The rate controller in a digital video encoding system is responsible for allocating a bit budget for video frames to be encoded. The rate controller considers many different factors when determining the frame bit budget. One of the factors considered is the complexity of the frames being compressed. Occasionally there will be a very complex frame that is not representative of the overall video frame sequence. Such a rare complex frame may cause a disproportionate affect on the bit budget allocation.
The system of the present invention limits the amount that a very complex frame can change the bit budget allocation. The rate controller of the present invention also includes a relaxation factor. The relaxation factor allows a user to determine if the...| Read more »

Up here in Canadia-land we've got some good stuff going on, like the tv show Off the Record with Michael Landsberg. Sure Michael looks a bit creepy and sounds like Mauro Renallo's more successful big brother. But damn does this guy get some good guests for his show. This show here which you can watch in it's entirety features Royce Gracie, Fight Network president Mike Garrow, and some boxing dudes.
It's really interesting to hear guys that aren't just spouting rhetoric and soundbytes regarding the whole mixed martial arts versus boxing debate. It's also interesting to hear Royce Gracie accuse the UFC of a conspiracy to destroy K1 and tamper with his urine. Despite that crackpot shit, Royce comes off as a simple guy who just wants to fight no holds barred. Sucks for him that the sport he launched has taken off and turned into something else. Ah well, there's always Japan … they let people do anything.

A few months back, I signed up for iTunes Match ($24.99 a year), the service that backs up your iTunes library to the Cloud and allows you to stream your music or stream and download your music to your device. Also, my mobile service provider is AT&T.*
So here's the problem: With Match enabled, every time you sync your iPhone to your computer, Match wipes the slate clean. Whatever you bothered to download last time you were out and about or before last time you left the house gets zapped back up into the Cloud—reverse lightning. Then next time you go out into the concrete gymnasium, you have to stream all your tunes. And because you're streaming with AT&T, your tunes sputter, cough, and wheeze their way into your ears. It's a lousy way to experience music on the go, which is one of the most pleasing times to listen to the stuff. It's a cost of convenience.
I'd rather curate my mobile library occasionally, when the mood or inspiration strikes. It's almost not worth the peace of mind facilitated by knowing your entire library is backed up, with redundancies. (Apple states that if you cancel your subscription, you get all your songs back.)
So after I spent several months and several paragraphs whining about this, I decided to look into it (such is, sadly, the same way I approach many minor annoyances in life.)
and the workaround, thankfully, is very simple. Turn off Match on your phone, and manually manage what music goes on it. Your library is still backed up (assuming it's not just on your phone), and you get the songs you want with no stream stalling. Now then, what else can I complain about?
Okay, I wrote the first half of this post, like, last week. The fix didn't work! Verdict: STUPID. There is an option "Sync only checked songs and videos," but the default mode checks the things when you import them to iTunes. Who wants to go through their entire library and uncheck everything they don't want to hear when they go out for a trip. Then, this happened, and then, two days later, this godamn shit happened.
If there's a non-stupid way to decide when you want to sync your stuff, I take this all back. Except the part where it should be way more intuitive. If you know this way, kindly chime in. Also, who's backed up their music library to a cloud and is happy with their experience? Chime in in the comments section.
*If you're not familiar, AT&T provides notoriously subpar cellular/digital coverage.

Last week, Pakistani bloggers met at a conference to discuss social media, politics, and strategies for using technology to strengthen democracy and open governance in their country. The event, Network! Pakistan's First International Social Media Summit was sponsored by PC World Pakistan and CIO Pakistan, both leading publications in the field of information technology.
Also at the event was US Consul General William Martin who opened the conference with words of praise for Pakistan's bloggers and other social media activists.
The summit started off with a welcome note by the US Consul General, William Martin talked about how the bold and active approach assumed by Pakistan's blogging community 'validated and energized his vision for Pakistan.' There are a number of ways in which Pakistanis interact with Information Technology, and the online social media is just one of those. The Consul General praised the efforts made by Pakistan's social media activists and said, "People here take extraordinary risks to try and inform the world about the happenings around them, and we must work with them and support the whole idea of freedom of press. We all have a responsibility to try and use this powerful tool, the social media, to try and bring about a positive change in the world around us."
Pakistan has a vibrant social media where bloggers like Raza Rumi, Sana Saleem and group blogs like Pak Tea House are driving a progressive pro-democracy political discussion in Pakistan. By supporting these efforts, the US can help empower more Pakistanis to have a greater voice and create a positive future for their nation.

In my previous article, I analyzed how Warren Buffett managed to outperform the Dow by 17.7% in 1957 when the Dow was down 8.4%. In this article, I will move on to the year of 1960. Here is the table of outperformance for reference purposes:
In 1960, the Dow declined 6.2% whereas the Buffett Partnership advanced 18.6%. The outperformance was a whopping 24.8%. Having been skeptical of the market's advance in 1959, the Oracle wrote the following to his investors in the 1959 letter.
"The Dow-Jones Industrial Average, undoubtedly the most widely used index of stock market behavior, presented a somewhat faulty picture in 1959. This index recorded an advance from 583 to 679, or 16.4% for the year. When the dividends which would have been received through ownership of the average are added, an overall gain of 19.9% indicated for 1959.
Despite this indication of a robust market, more stocks declined than advanced on the New York Stock Exchange during the year by a margin of 710 to 628. Both the Dow-Jones Railroad Average and Utility Average registered declines.
Most investment trusts had a difficult time in comparison with the Industrial Average. Tri-Continental Corp. the nation's largest closed-end investment company (total asset $400 million) had an overall gain of about 5.7% for the year.
Massachusetts Investors Trust, the country's largest mutual fund with assets of $1.5 billion showed an overall gain of about 9% for the year.
Most of you know I have been very apprehensive about general stock market levels for several years. To date, this caution has been unnecessary. By previous standards, the present level of 'blue chip' security prices contains a substantial speculative component with a corresponding risk of loss. Perhaps other standards of valuation are evolving which will permanently replace the old standard. I don't think so. I may very well be wrong; however, I would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of a "New Era" philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.
To the extent possible, I continue to attempt to invest in situations at least partially insulated from the behavior of the general market."
In this letter, Buffett shrewdly pointed out the divergence he observed: The Dow advanced 16.4% while more stocks declined than advanced on the NYSE during 1959. This divergence suggested that the advance was probably led by a small group of stocks, or in this case, very likely the "blue chip" securities. This divergence suggests another way that Buffett looks at the general market. It is widely known that one of his favorite metrics to use to value the general market is total cap as a percentage of GNP. However, by looking at the components that make up the exchange, we can also get a good sense of the market condition. In the case of 1959, the divergence observed by Buffett should serve as a cautious sign for investors.
I don't know whether the portfolio allocation decision Buffett made leading up to 1960 was due to anticipation of a decline in the general market or not but at the end of 1959, there was a particularly large position that made up 35% of the portfolio. This is a workout that should be uncorrelated to the market movement.
"Last year, I mentioned a new commitment which involved about 25% of assets of the various partnerships. Presently this investment is about 35% of assets. This is an unusually large percentage, but has been made for strong reasons. In effect, this company is partially an investment trust owing some thirty or forty other securities of high quality. Our investment was made and is carried at a substantial discount from asset value based on market value of their securities and a conservative appraisal of the operating business."
As some of the readers know, this investment was Sanborn Map. The readers can get the details in the 1960 letter. Essentially, Sanborn Map is a stock that was trading around $45 per share and had an investment portfolio worth about $65 per share. Sanborn Map also had a declining, yet still profitable map business that was earning less than $100,000 or less than $1 per share (Sanborn had 105,000 shares outstanding).
To unlock the value of Sanborn Map, Buffett practiced what nowadays called activism, joined by his friends Walter Schloss, Fred Stanback and Henry Brandt. In the end, he purchased enough shares to effective take control of the company and Sanborn Map exchanged a portion of the investment portfolio for company shares. As part of the deal, the Buffett partnership tendered all their shares.
It is worth noting that the Sanborn Map investment is different from National American in that Sanborn Map's business quality and earnings power were much worse than those of National American. However, Sanborn's asset value provides better protection as the investment portfolio could be readily liquidated.
Although in both cases, Buffett made a lot of money for his investors, often overlooked was the amount of effort he put into both Sanborn Map and National American. In the case of National American, he and his partner Dan had to go to the countryside to first find out who may own the shares and then to ask every possible shareholder to sell them their shares. In the case of Sanborn Map, he almost went on a proxy fight in order to unlock the value.
Neither investment would turn out as good as they were if not for the tremendous amount of hard work Buffett put in. Many Buffett followers know that his early career involved buying cigar-butt type of companies, but I wonder how many of us think about the fact that he went extra miles by doing whatever he needed to do in order to take control of the companies he invested in so he could unlock the value. The classic Ben Graham approach, combined with his determination and persistence, contributed to his early successes.
To be continued.
In my previous article, I analyzed how Warren Buffett managed to outperform the Dow by 17.7% in 1957 when the Dow was down 8.4%. In this article, I will move on to the year of 1960. Here is the table of outperformance for reference purposes:

By Sonja Carberry, For Investor's Business Daily
Follow us: @IBDinvestors on Twitter | InvestorsBusinessDaily on Facebook
Annika Sorenstam was facing the fiercest scrutiny of her career.Her decision to become the first woman since 1945's Babe Zaharias to take a swing with the men pros was met with cheers and vitriol.Critics decried her for slicing the Professional Golf Association's tradition-soaked gender barrier.
Sorenstam swung to 89 tournament titles during her 1992-2008 career and now runs a golf academy. The Annika Academy View Enlarged Image
Skeptics in the press and among fans called her entry into the May 2003 Bank of America Colonial tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, bogus, a publicity stunt.
Vijay Singh, the 2000 Masters champ, was so peeved, he pulled out of the Colonial while saying Sorenstam had "no business" competing in it. Nick Price, who had won there the year before, called her entry "a publicity stunt."

Judy Tenuta has performed all over the world ("except parts of Zaire," she notes). She's released two CDs: Buy This, Pigs and its follow-up, Buy This Again, Pigs. She has a widely viewed video on YouTube, "Hot Cone Bras," and the popular website JudyTenuta.com. We schlepped out to the Valley for a chat.
L.A. WEEKLY: What's special about living in the Valley?
JUDY TENUTA: I'm, like, five minutes from the Radford Studios, so hello! I could be there in a minute when they give me a sitcom. And I was told that Justin Bieber lives here, so that's nice.
For those unfamiliar with your act, what can they expect?
Stream of consciousness. I'm the Love Goddess and the Aphrodite of the Accordion. I plan on giving away a few things to my audience, little tokens of love. Like my pants. I talk about love, but not in the way you would think. And I marry people during the show. I have a fertility dance.
You marry people?
Sometimes I separate them. I am an ordained minister.
For what religion?
Judy-ism. I'm the founder. I have my own cult. It's much better than the Mormons, trust me. Much more exciting.
Do you include your accordion in every show?
I use the accordion to punish people in the audience, so yeah. And people think of it as the Arc of the Covenant. People have come up to me and asked, "May I kiss your accordion?" I've only had worshipful people. And the ones who aren't worshipful are like maybe the pigs at the airport. One time they made me leave my accordion behind because they thought it might be some kind of dangerous explosive device. We had a Code Red because I had an accordion!
Describe a typical day for you.
Well, I wake up early for an entertainer, like at the crack of noon. I have three guys come in and massage my feet and feed me grapes. I'm very religious about having some kind of exercise. So usually I like stay in bed and complain. That burns up a lot of calories. [My friend] Roz will tell ya. I get on the phone, I call her at 10 o'clock. I swear to God by 11 o'clock I've burned off three pounds.
You've been romantically linked to other comedians . . . .
Inquiring minds want to know.
Please, this is so from 5,000 years ago. Yes, I almost married Sam Kinison. Yes, I was excited about Steven Wright. Uh, let's see, who else ....
Weren't you involved with Emo Phillips?
That was more like a science project.
Why haven't we seen you in more movies and TV shows?

Because in Hollywood now, it's not about your resume. You have to have a sex tape. I am working on a sex tape with Kim Kardashian and Charlie Sheen, so that'll be out soon. Also, I don't have a scandal; I wasn't drunk-driving the wrong way on the 405. I need to start doing that. And I wasn't screaming and yelling and beating up my wife. I need to start doing that, too. So as soon as I do that game over! you're gonna see me everywhere, including Dancing With the Stars. Oh my God, [people at that show] said, "Judy, you don't qualify because you have two legs!"
You talked about having your accordion kissed. Any other unusual fan encounters?
I play a game with myself and some other comics. You get 500 points if somebody from another country who doesn't speak English recognizes you. I've had that happen to me. When I was at the airport, a woman was like, "Ohh!" and she goes like this [playing an invisible accordion]; she pantomimed playing the accordion! And another time I was in New York City at Times Square. [There's] like a Nathan's or something, so I go in there and the woman behind the counter I would say [she was from] India if I had to guess. She's looking at me and looking, and she goes [speaking in a faltering foreign accent], "Are you from the same country as Judy Tenuta?" I go, "OK, I just got 10,000 points!"

TMZ reports that officers answered a complaint about a loud party at Avery's Hollywood Hills home at 1 a.m. He answered the door, shoved the officer and slammed the door. He was being held on $20,000 bail
Recently, Avery was one of the first athletes to publicly support equal marriage rights. In the past, the Rangers' enforcer has been, as they say, no stranger to controversy, on or off the ice. His stick-waving, goalie-blocking antics led the NHL to implement an "Avery rule." His 2008 comments about former girlfriends Elisha Cuthbert and Rachel Hunter drew a suspension.

Any bets on how long it takes someone to write a parody of Mambo Number Five about the Lacey Peterson case? (Juror Number Five?)
And incidentally, I've notivced it's become a common practice here to give someone a link to a google search in the form of their question. Well get this: I was reading about how search engines work at howstuffworks.com (be careful, very addictive site), and they mentioned a paper written by the creators of google. I wrote to google and asked where I could find a copy of the paper, as I couldn't find it anywhere. Take a wild guess what their reply was.

The lexicon of consumerism and America's Christmas season
For those of us immersed in preparations for Christmas, the time remaining feels insufficiently brief, and the few weeks since Thanksgiving seem more like a few days. As fleeting as time is between Turkey Day and December 25, we in the US possess a peculiarly American interpretation of when the Christmas season "begins." My British […]more

Scarecrows: those anthropomorphic (not avian) symbols of the season
The vestiges of Halloween linger in various front yards and on the occasional porch step, but mostly by now the skeletons and witches have retreated into storage along with the gossamer spider webs, howling mummies, and detached body parts that adorned our neighborhoods so cheerfully in our annual salute to October 31.

Velcera and FidoPharm Will Pursue Expedited Appeal of Georgia Court Ruling Against PetArmor™ Plus
Sales and Availability of PetArmor Remain Unaffected
Jun 21, 2011, 18:04 ET from FidoPharm
YARDLEY, Pa., June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier today, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia granted motions filed by Merial Limited and Merial SAS for contempt against Velcera and FidoPharm and their contract manufacturer for PetArmor Plus, Cipla Limited. The court has stayed its order for 60 days to allow for an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Velcera and FidoPharm intend to seek an expedited appeal and will vigorously defend their ability to continue selling PetArmor Plus, the first generic fipronil product available on retail shelves nationwide, in the United States. Velcera and FidoPharm also intend to pursue the action they filed in federal district court in Delaware in February 2011 seeking a declaratory judgment that Merial's patent directed to a particular composition containing fipronil and s-methoprene is invalid and not infringed by PetArmor Plus. The validity of Merial's patent was not at issue in the Georgia court proceedings.
Despite this ruling, PetArmor Plus remains available as a low cost flea and tick product for dogs and cats. Sales and availability of FidoPharm's PetArmor product remain unaffected by the ruling.
About FidoPharm
FidoPharm is a leading pet health products company committed to providing consumers with best-in-class pet health products that contain the same active ingredients as branded products but at a significantly lower cost.

Mist opportunities: Visitors to Falls find little reason to stay
NIAGARA FALLS – A mother and daughter from Michigan cut their trip short by a day because they couldn't find enough to do here.
A couple from Spain visiting the United States made a stop but stayed overnight in Niagara Falls, Ont., because it had better views of the falls, and they heard that there was more to do there.
A New Jersey family came to town for a week for their son's hockey camp. They were pessimistic they'd be able to find enough to do to fill up seven days."There's not much on the U.S. side," said Rich Hall, of Sicklerville, N.J.
The falls are world-famous, among the greatest natural attractions in the entire country – but aside from getting drenched on the Maid of the Mist and maybe the Cave of the Winds, many tourists don't see any reason to stick around.
One of the recurring tourism-related concerns of Niagara Falls is that there isn't that much else to do there.
"The biggest thing is to come to the state park, and you could do that in a day," said Michelle Rainey of Reading, Mich., who came to the Falls last month to get married.
Less than a quarter of the people who visit Niagara Falls stay overnight, even for just one night, compared with about 36 percent of visitors to Yosemite National Park in California, according to figures cited by USA Niagara Development Corp., the state's economic-development arm for the Falls.
Tourism officials looking to promote economic growth want to get tourists to add one or two nights to their stay, something that would increase business for local hotels and allow visitors to spend more money at other businesses here.
Seeking a critical mass
An infusion of tourism dollars, virtually everyone agrees, would help a city that has faced decades of losing good-paying jobs, declining population and enduring economic hardships.
After all, with an attraction that visitors already travel here to see, the frustration of those who yearn to see Niagara Falls succeed lies in trying to understand how to lure visitors to stay longer.
"It shouldn't be such a hard struggle," said Ernest Sternberg, chairman of the University at Buffalo's department of urban and regional planning.
Sternberg, who has studied the Falls for years, said government and private investors have to work together to create a critical mass of downtown attractions – things like distinctive museums and other places and things to do that would be unique.
Sternberg believes that starting with two or three major attractions could build the momentum needed to attract more investment.
If there's not that critical mass, then most businesspeople would see doing something by themselves as too much of a risk, Sternberg said.
"So getting to that point is the problem," he said. "It's turned out to be very difficult."
Sternberg said that things are moving slightly backward in the Falls. The demand for hotels and themed restaurants, he said, would follow once attractions are created.
"The question isn't the buildings. The question is, what's most enticing to make people stay?" Sternberg said.
A few years ago, state economic-development officials asked a consultant to assess what this side has in terms of things to do for visitors.
While there is an "array of attractions" available in addition to visiting the falls – the Seneca Niagara Casino, helicopter tours and the Aquarium of Niagara, for example – visitors continue to hold the perception that there isn't much to do, according a 2011 report by HVS Consulting & Valuation Services for the state's economic-development agency in Niagara Falls.
The report offered several explanations of why the perception exists:
• Many attractions may not appeal to a broad cross section of tourists.
• The attractions are too far apart to create a "high-energy district of visitor activities and attractions."
• With Niagara Falls, Ont., just across the bridge, there may not be enough attractions "to keep visitors occupied."
In terms of new attractions, Joseph "Smokin Joe" Anderson earlier this year opened Smokin Joe's Native Center in the former Teletech building on First Street. The site now hosts nightly performances that include native dancing.
'It's a shame'
For shopping, there isn't much downtown beyond vendors hawking T-shirts and trinkets. Most visitors find their best option is the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls in the Town of Niagara, a 10-minute drive from downtown.
With their son attending a weeklong hockey camp at Niagara University until 4 p.m. daily, Rich and Cathy Hall had more than enough time to wander and explore downtown.
They also went to Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, Ont., which offered a much more bustling atmosphere than the American side, which they said could use more restaurants, arcades and miniature golf.
"It's a shame," Cathy Hall said as she and her husband walked down Third Street to lunch last week.
Jacobo Cagigal and Silvia Juez visited Niagara Falls from Santander, Spain, as part of their three-week trip across the United States.
Visiting Niagara Falls was a natural stop, they said, because it's a "famous place."
They said they decided to stay on the Canadian side because they had read online that it had better views of the falls and more activities. They spent one night in Niagara Falls, Ont., on their trip, which also was to include stops in Las Vegas and California.
Their trip here was solely to see the falls, and they didn't really consider what else there was to do when planning their stay.
Then there are the Leckers, who visited the Falls in July from St. Marys, Pa.
"With something for the kids, I think you'd draw a lot more," Louann Lecker said. She suggested a water park; husband Dave suggested bicycle rentals.
The Thurmond family from St. Augustine, Fla., was attending a family reunion in Penn Yan and took a day trip to the Falls this summer.
It was the family's first trip here. They would have liked to see more family attractions, maybe even an amusement park, said Kristin Thurmond, who took the trip with her sons, Matt and Dallas, and husband, Mike.
Their plans included a ride on the Maid of the Mist and a visit to the Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls State Park, but no trip to the Canadian side because they didn't have passports. The family was "not sure what else there is to do," said Mike Thurmond.
It's not that the city doesn't already have something to build on.
Nik Wallenda, whose tightrope walk over the falls last year was an international event, has expressed interest in developing a permanent attraction here.
The city and the state's economic-development arm are moving forward with proposals from two prominent developers that promise to add yet-to-be-named attractions to the former Rainbow Centre mall.
More needed for kids
And then there are the visitors who enjoy the more natural landscape on this side of the Falls.
"We like things natural. We're naturalists," said Kathy Harness, who visited from Bowling Green, Ohio, with her husband, Howard, for three nights in July to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary. They stayed on the American side.
The Canadian side, with the wax museums and gift shops, is too much of a commercialized tourist trap, she said.
The Harnesses visited Seneca Niagara Casino and said that overall, they were "very pleased" with the number of things to do on the American side. If anything, Kathy Harness said, she could see a need for more kid-friendly attractions.
More attractions are needed that would highlight regional assets – especially recreational things like water-related family activities, museums, nature hikes and tours of natural resources, said Ryan Coate, general manager of the Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls. "More attractions create more appeal for visitors," Coate said in an email.
Frank Strangio, whose family owns the Quality Inn on Niagara Falls Boulevard and who is head of the Niagara Falls Hotel & Motel Association, said the area must keep working to educate visitors about what's available in the area.
Regionally, there are lot of things to do, Strangio said. The trick is being able to get the visitors out to other attractions such as the locks in Lockport and Old Fort Niagara in Youngstown. Still, there needs to be more things to do for people in the Falls, too, Strangio said. "I don't think you can have enough attractions," he said. "You should always strive for more."
Melissa Luce and her daughter, Madison, 8, came to the Falls last month from Howell, Mich. They were deciding between Washington, D.C., and the Falls for their trip, and chose here because they wanted to avoid the crowds for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
Luce said she was disappointed with conditions around downtown Niagara Falls, including the way some of the neighborhoods looked. Their activities included spending time swimming in their hotel pool.
"I was going to stay another day," Luce said, "but what are we going to do?"

NEW YORK -- The stock market could get a bit jumpy.
Investors have been eagerly awaiting clearer signals from the Federal Reserve over when it will wind down its massive stimulus programs, known as quantitative easing.
At the end of its two-day meeting, the central bank will release a statement Wednesday, followed by a news conference by Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. Few expect the Fed to announce any immediate changes to interest rates or its stimulus.
U.S. markets may initially react to trading overseas early Wednesday, said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.

Sounders FC wanted to go into the World Cup break on a positive note and did just that with a 3-2 win over the Chicago Fire. A big part of that success came from two former Fire players who were playing at Toyota Park for the first time as visitors, as Marco Pappa assisted on the game-winning goal and Jalil Anibaba stonewalled Chicago's leading scorer entering the match, Quincy Amarikwa.
"We came to have a good game and get the points and that's what happened," Pappa said. "I'm happy with the group and what we did."
In the fifth minute, Pappa set up the game's first clear chance, leading Obafemi Martins in behind a high Chicago line. Martins took a touch to get around Chicago goalkeeper Sean Johnson, but his touch put him too far wide and his hurried effort skipped wide of the far post.
Pappa set up another chance for Chad Marshall in the 17th minute, chipping a ball to the far post off a short corner, but Marshall's header glanced just wide.
Finally in the 78th minute he registered his third assist of the season to give Seattle a 3-1 lead.
Pappa carried the ball up the right side and found Kenny Cooper with a cross. Cooper headed the ball through to Lamar Neagle for a rocket shot from the far side, knocking it in for his fifth goal of the season, capping off a stellar return to the Windy City.
"I was excited to see old friends and old fans. There were a lot of good feelings on the pitch. Chicago is a big part of my career," said Pappa, who played for the Fire from 2008-2012. "I hope they can get better results and that we can continue the way we are playing."
On the defensive side, Anibaba returned to the starting lineup as a means to create a more favorable matchup against Amarikwa, who finished the match with two assists on breakout goals by Harrison Shipp.
"I thought he bottled him up pretty good," Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid said. "It was a good game for Jalil, so we were happy."
Anibaba was quick to distribute the credit in slowing down Amarikwa to the rest of the defense, particularly goalkeeper Stefan Frei and center back partner Chad Marshall.
"I know Quincy really well and when you know a player well like that you know his tendencies and you can anticipate what he's going to do, but I tried not to cheat too much," said Anibaba, who played from 2011-2013 with Chicago. "It wasn't just me. Chad was phenomenal and Stefan had some key goal-line saves and that's what won the game for us."
It was a happy return for both Pappa and Anibaba, returning to Chicago and playing in front of fans that had been so important in the early part of their careers. But the victory was the key for both players.
"It felt good. This city means a lot to me. It's always good to come back," Anibaba said. "The most important thing is three points and continuing the good run we've been on."

NorCal Christmas: Gift Ideas #1
by Hellyer • December 16, 2011 • norcal scene, review, too random • 3 Comments
In the spirit of consumerism and support of NorCal businesses here are links to a bunch of previous stories and videos on great NorCal companies. If you are going to go out and drop some coin be sure to hit your LBS and support your local cycling community.
Mission Workshop: Coolest looking bags and jacket/sweater combo i have seen in a long time. I am lusting for these things.
Willow Glen Bikes and Santa Cruz Butcher: Great LBS and cool MTN bike for roadies. Worst interview ever. Kinda funny in how awful i was. Eric was so disgusted with me he walked away from a second attempt.
Giro Footwear: Lightest shoe on the market out of the geniuses in Scotts Valley. Who would have thought that hi-tec shoes would come out of that backwater.
Paul Components: Paul gave me a bottle opener which i treasure. There is so much cool stuff coming out of Pauls shop it's hard to pick one item. If you look for a bit you will find something you need. And when the apocalypse comes it will be your weapon of choice.
Ritchey Swiss Cross: A classic bike. It's the kind of thing you get when you are going to just go with one bike for the rest of your life.
Sheila Moon: It's like buying a Pucci, but you can wear it when you are riding.
Garmin Vector: Perfect gift for the NorCal tech geeks. Yes – Dan C. I'm talking to you! I don't care if you are half runner now… this is no good until you give me a review.
Secret Drink Mix: I'm fussy, and delicate like and orchid. SDM is the only thing I can drink now. It's like… awesome.
Leopard DC 1: Hernando is fussy, and not quite delicate, he's more… birdlike. He liked this bike which means it must be awesome.
Black Dog Gearing and Track Apps: Hellyer native Gio Rey put these apps together and I have used them ever since. Why don't more NorCal people make apps. You're all useful engines right?
I will have another quick list of local businesses in a day or two… I have a few more folks i think did interesting stuff hat deserve to be plugged for the Holidays. If you have any ideas shoot them over.

Business School Student Athletes Recognized for AcademicsMay 13, 2008
Baylor University student-athletes were honored for academic excellence and community service during the annual Student-Athlete Banquet held Monday evening at the Ferrell Center. Of 17 recipients, seven are business majors at the Hankamer School of Business.
In addition, athletes voted for professors they felt had the greatest impact on their academic career. Three of sixteen professors receiving this honor are faculty at the Business School.
"While much of the success of Baylor Athletics is defined by winning games and championships, the fact that our student-athletes are excelling in the classroom and making a difference in the community is very gratifying," said Athletics Director Ian McCaw.
Business majors earning honors were:
Mark Shepherd - Men's Basketball (graduated in May 2007 with a degree in business management, currently enrolled in Baylor's MBA program)
Joe Pawelek - Football (Finance)
Bill Allcorn - Men's Golf (Economics)
Kristen Hendrix - Women's Golf (Accounting / Finance)
Dominik Mueller - Men's Tennis (Business)
Haylee Abbe - Women's Basketball (4.0 GPA) (Economics)
Lars Poerschke (Economics )
Each year all student-athletes are asked to vote for the Baylor professor they felt had the greatest impact on their academic career. Business School professors on that list included:
Suzanne Abbe
Ernest Fletcher
Fred Hulme

Friday morning, Hillary Clinton praised what she called "an historic agreement" between de facto President Roberto Micheletti and deposed President Manuel Zelaya. Many have claimed the deal would restore Zelaya to power and end the worst political crisis in Central America in 20 years.
But from where I sit in Tegucigalpa, Zelaya is still on his air mattress in the Brazilian Embassy and faces one very significant hurdle: the Congress still has to vote to restore him to power. And from my understanding of the agreement, both parties promised to abide by the Congress's decision, regardless of what it is.
One of the points the parties agreed on was that Zelaya give up his struggle for a constitutional assembly. While he may be barred from continuing the fight, the Resistance movement will not. While the world has been focused on the fight between these two leaders, the Resistance has retooled and taken on the quest for a new Constitution as their own. According to a poll released last week, 55 percent of Hondurans believe the Constitution should be amended to allow for reelection. This fight is not over.
Similarly, once all has returned to "normal" there is still the lingering problem of corruption, non-transparency, and the powerful elite. Honduras is facing economic meltdown, a looming food and water shortage, fast-rising energy costs, high unemployment, crippling government debt, and a host of other factors that could mean disaster for the poor. An economist I spoke with last night said that in 2009 alone the population living in poverty in Honduras will rise from 59 percent to 70 percent -- 70,000 new poor. The saddest thing is that as of this morning -- less than one month before the elections -- none of the presidential candidates had a document outlining their proposals for the country. None of the politicians have a plan. For that, you have to look to the people.
The grassroots Transformemos Honduras (Let's Transform Honduras) movement is confronting these challenges head on. Last week the organizers unveiled the 3X5 Campaign -- three changes in five critical areas that will pave the way for true country transformation. The movement is supported by the Honduran Catholic and evangelical churches, Honduran civil society organizations, and international Christian organizations such as the Association for a More Just Society, Save the Children, and World Vision. Members have hit the streets on a quest to collect one million signatures and e-mail addresses to hold the next president accountable to the plan and keep the supporters informed.
Honduras's needs run far deeper than a solution to this political standoff. Hondurans are tired of the Zelayas and Michelettis of the world. If this crisis has proven anything it is that change will come from the ground up, not the top down.

The Vancouver Canucks got the whale off their chest and beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 to win the seventh and deciding game of their Western conference quarterfinal series.
The Stars forced last night's game after tying the series with a pair of wins. But Vancouver - wearing blue, green and white for the first time in the playoffs since 1976 - dominated the second and third periods.
Star Joel Lundqvist took advantage of Vancouver's timid opening and beat goaltender Roberto Luongo with a wrist shot.
Henrik Sedin finally solved Stars' goaltender Marty Turco on a power play late in the second. Turco hadn't allowed a goal since Trevor Linden's Game 4 winner.
"We came out a little nervous to start the game," said Linden. "In the second period, we got our game on track and started playing with confidence."
Linden redirected a Mattias Ohlund shot on a third-period power play to score the eventual winner.
"Every game was close and a grind, it was tough, it was fun," Turco said. "As long as it was, as up and down as it was, that's what hurts the most."
Penalties hampered Dallas' chances to tie the game.
Taylor Pyatt and Bryan Smolinski scored empty net goals.
The Canucks are now 5-4 in seven-game series. The Stars are just the third club Vancouver has eliminated since 1994.
The Canucks visit the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow to begin the Western conference semifinal.

A lot of professional sports teams provide some kind of halftime entertainment by letting a fan or fans attempt an athletic feat for money. At basketball games, that feat is more often than not a half-court shot. I have no idea how many people have actually made the shot, but I can tell you how many people have seen their shot land and stick on top of the rim: one.
The unbelievable shot occurred over the weekend in Atlanta. It made its way online not long after, and not surprisingly, the footage has raced around the Internet. Take a look for yourself below…
I'm really glad they knocked the ball in and let this guy keep the money. If the heave was for a million bucks, I could understand being douche bags about it, but for one thousand dollars, it's better to just have fun with it and enjoy the publicity, especially since it was obviously going to be widely viewed. Plus, balancing a ball on top of the rim is way more difficult than making a half court shot anyway.
Here's to hoping this dude spent his winning thousand bucks on something awesome.

text: Ryan Dungey was thought to be a little crazy back when he initially signed onto KTM, but as after watching his 2012 season where he earned ten straight overall track wins, his second overall 450cc champion title and KTM's first-ever overall season title nobody has any room to question Dungey's decision. Despite a few tough races in the beginning of the season, a couple of unforseeable crashes and even a mid race pit stop Dungey was without question the man to beat all season long. Take a look at the recap video put together by Lucas Oil below to remember all the spills and thrillls from Ryan Dungeys second 450cc overall championship season!

Around this time of night, I'm always looking for an interesting tea that is not a tea – that is – a tisane. This one kept calling to me tonight. The last time I tried this one, my taste buds were just starting to get out of whack, so I consider this my first "true taste" of this tea.
I love the look of this tea (as well as all the teas from 52Teas!) Big (huge!) coconut shavings, and chunks of pineapple… and it smells as good as it looks. I can smell the rum in this one.
Yum! it is so deliciously tropical. The pineapple, the coconut… the rum flavor is so nice too. The flavors are very well balanced.
As yummy as this is hot, I do think I'm going to reserve my remainder of this tea for iced tea brewing… it is just so much better when it's cold!
I'm increasing my rating of this one a bit, because it deserves it! It really is good.

Paul Williams' last two fights were on Showtime. Neither of which was the main event. He lost the first one, with a horrible showing, and didn't show much in the rematch, which could be considered a fluke, with Quintana not being properly warmed up.
If Williams wants to raise his value, he needs to seek a 3rd fight with Quintana or a slugfest against Kermit Cintron. This fight needs to happen on HBO, preferibly on a doubleheader with Tony vs Clottey. Then maybe if he wins, a fight with Tony would be more sellable to the general public
A Clottey fight isn't all that bad, but he has that bicep injury and who knows how long he will be out for. The thing is there is that Williams fight out there right now for Marge and also his biggest payday. I don't blame him for milking the Cotto victory and try to get paydays, but what gets me is the hypocricy of the Margarito fans. Now all of a sudden Williams needs to make himself sellable to the general public. Isn't that what they used to rip on Mayweather for constantly for not fighting the best and going for paydays. The fight with Williams is already sellable to the public and that's because Williams already beat Margarito once. Who wouldn't want to see the two best WW's go at it and decide really who the best WW in the world is. Unless your worried the Tijuana Tornado will get derailed again.

NTS creates a magical experience for everyone over 7 who's not a scaredy cat.
A co-production between the National Theatre of Scotland and Improbable in association with Tramway
Conceived and made for the stage by Julian Crouch, Vicky Featherstone and Nick Powell.
Additional words by Neil Gaiman.
This is the story of Lucy, who hears creeping, creaking, crumpling noises coming from behind the wallpaper and is convinced that there are wolves in the walls of her house. Her jam-making mother, tuba-playing father and video game obsessed brother think the noises are really mice, or rats or bats. But they are wrong and she is right as they will all soon find out…
With an unruly pack of actors, musicians and crazy puppets, the show will make you laugh, shriek with horror and watch the action between the cracks in your fingers, because everyone knows… when the wolves come out of the walls, it's all over.
The National Theatre of Scotland and Improbable are unleashing The Wolves in the Walls onto the stage. NTS Artistic Director, Vicky Featherstone, co-directs in partnership with Improbable's Julian Crouch, whose work includes the unforgettable Shockheaded Peter and Jerry Springer the Opera. Nick Powell, best known for his haunting television scores and soundtracks for Suspect Culture provides the music and songs.
Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean have conquered the world with the Sandman series, Coraline and most recently MirrorMask, a stunning new feature film. Bookshops across the world are crammed with their work and Gaiman is a regular New York Times number one bestseller. Having expressed their unique vision through graphic and adult novels, children's books, television and film, this is the first time the duo's work gatecrashes theatre.
Improbable has made ten pieces of work to date being 70 HILL LANE, ANIMO, LIFEGAME, CINDERELLA, COMA, SPIRIT, STICKY, THE HANGING MAN, THEATRE OF BLOOD and STARS ARE OUT TONIGHT. Many of their shows have been made in collaboration with a wide variety of organisations including The West Yorkshire Playhouse, Wexner Center for the Arts (Columbus Ohio), The Walker Arts Centre (Minneapolis), Wiener Festwochen, UZ productions (Glasgow) and Amici Dance Theatre Company.

wit halo 2, I was wondering.... is the MA5B still around? or did it get replaced by battle-rifle or sumfin?
I've seen like 10 topics just like this one already. Please check the recent topics to make sure we aren't already dicussing the topic you want to create.
Why would they keep it .....
the MA5B is tottaly being replaced dont plan on seeing it in Halo 2
To be fair even if the old weapons are in halo 2 the idea of the battle rifle is superb and i'll be using it more than the MA5B anyway. its a shame about the pistol though as i hear it no longer has a scope and getting headshots was cool from super far distances, if you don't have the sniper.
This was discussed last night. The conversation ended when one poster pointed out that the MA5B is visible in the pentathalon stills. So it is still around in the current build although it has not been confirmed for the release build.
I hope they make the accuracy a bit better... I loved running threw Halo 1's levels on legendary with the Assault Rifle and Plasma Pistol Combo... =D
i hope they have most of the old weapons in halo2, coz it would give the multiplayer a huge variety when it comes to choosing which weapons you'll want to use
They had better keep it.
I think the battle rifle is the new replacement, but it would be nice of bungie to place the existing MA5B within Halo 2 somewhere as a little extra as a momento or something.

New Delhi, Aug 16 (IANS) India on Sunday summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Abdul Basit in the aftermath of continuing ceasefire violations and death of civilians.

The continuing firing from across the border comes ahead of the August 23-24 National Security Advisor-level talks to be held in Delhi between India's Ajit Doval and Pakistan's Sartaj Aziz to discuss terrorism issues.

Answer from Coach Brent Ayer:
There is an ideal weight for every runner and dropping below that weight will cause your performances to suffer.
Personally, I don't think any emphasis should be placed on losing weight at the high school level. My first recommendation would be to stop counting calories and to get off the scale. Progressive training and a proper, healthy diet should determine where your weight goes. The body requires an adequate amount of fuel in order to perform at its best. Failing to get that fuel has some pretty nasty consequences over the long haul. This is a really slippery slope.
As I do not know the particulars of your situation, I would suggest that you consult your physician as to the appropriate weight for you. And, if you are having trouble getting to that weight to work with a professional nutritionist.
Best of luck to you.
Coach Brent Ayer
Answer from Cathy Fieseler:
It is not uncommon for an injured athlete, especially a female, to become concerned about gaining weight when not training due to injury. This is an unnecessary worry and unfortunately, is often detrimental to health, as you have discovered. The weight that is lost is not exclusively fat; you lost muscle and therefore strength. It's great that you have improved your endurance but the strength deficit is the source of your loss of speed. You need to work on a generalized strength program and your speed should return. You need to be eating a healthy diet to make sure that you are meeting all of the energy demands created by training.
I agree with coach Ayer - you should see your health care provider to make sure that your weight loss did not cause you to develop anemia or other health issues. Thinner is not always faster. Significant weight loss can cause loss of menstrual cycles and a decrease in bone density, predisposing an athlete to stress fractures. Food is the energy source that allows the body to move and to recover from exercise. Discuss an appropriate weight range with your provider and set dietary goals to achieve this.
Good luck.
Cathy Fieseler, MD

UEFA chief Taylor predicts gloom for Scottish football
UEFA events chief executive and former Scottish Football Association supremo David Taylor has warned the game in Scotland will continue on a downward spiral if something is not done to arrest the slide.
Last month saw the country lose one of its Champions League places due to the poor performances of its clubs in Europe in recent seasons.
This term witnessed arguably a new low, with Rangers picking up just two points from their six Champions League Group G matches and Celtic also failing to reach the Europa League knockout stage.
Falkirk, Motherwell, Aberdeen and Hearts were all eliminated from the same competition prior to the group phase and Taylor was damning in his verdict of the displays of Scottish clubs, particularly those outside the Old Firm.
He told BBC Scotland:"The performances of these other clubs in European competition in recent years has been very, very poor indeed, particular compared to the clubs from other countries who have similar sorts of resources.''
Citing Austria and Switzerland as examples of such nations, he added:"We really have to look at our game and ask, 'Is it to do with the way our league is constructed, the number of fixtures, youth policies, the number of overseas players?' There are a whole range of factors that need to be explored.''
Rangers and Celtic both began the season in the Champions League, with Celtic's play-off defeat to Arsenal consigning them to the Europa League.
But from the start of the season after next, only the Scottish Premier League winners will enter Europe's premier club competition, and even they will have to qualify.
"I'm sorry to say but I think it is a big blow,'' Taylor said. "The opportunities for profile and for financial success come from participation in the Champions League and now it will be more difficult.''
Taylor, who left his role as SFA chief executive in 2007 to become UEFA general secretary, added: "The effects will be seen.
"These are large sums of money which used to be coming into Scotland and in future these sums will not be invested in Scottish clubs, so it has to be a big negative.
"One of the things we have been doing at UEFA is to try to make sure that there are different qualifying routes for the champions of countries that are not so successful and now Scotland comes into that category.
"So there will always be the qualification opportunity but unless we improve on the park then even that qualification route will get more and more difficult.
"It comes down to what happens on the pitch and Scotland I'm afraid, in the club sense, have been sliding down the rankings.''

Police are reminding the public to use caution while going about daily activities and offered some tips for safety.
Police advised residents to be aware of surroundings and to avoid becoming distracted by electronic devices.
Stay in well lit, populated areas when alone, be alert when going to and from a vehicle, and notify the police if something or someone looks suspicious, police said.

(CBR) Some people compare superheroes to mythical gods because of their supernatural powers (and for their all-too-human squabbles), and Marvel has made a mint on translating a Norse deity into a superhero with Thor. But beyond the borders of Asgard is a cornucopia of gods and demigods in the Marvel pantheon just waiting to be reawakened and put back into the fight. And I"m not talking about Marvel movies (although that"d be nice, too!). I"m talking about Marvel Comics" staff bringing these heroes (and villains) of lore back into the mix.

Sorry, I know many of these "Gods" are shared between DC and Marvel, but Ares belongs in Wonder Woman stories, or stories involving Wonder Woman.
I mean, come on, he is WW's arch-villain nemesis (and now confirmed half-brother).
Lets leave Ares to DC, and for that matter, the rest of the Greek pantheon, as well.
Marvel has the Norse Gods, DC the Greek. Let's keep that nice, clear delineation, shall we?

Long Beach, Nassau get $41M for Sandy cleanup
Nassau County and the City of Long Beach will receive $41 million in promised federal aid this week to help with superstorm Sandy cleanup efforts, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Sunday.
Long Beach will receive $24 million and Nassau County will receive $17.2 million to pay for the massive debris-removal effort, according to the latest figures provided by FEMA last night.
At a news conference inside Long Beach City Hall, Cuomo, joined by City Manager Jack Schnirman, Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and State Director of Operations Howard Glaser, called the payments a "first step" and urged Congress to pass the state's request for $32 billion in additional disaster recovery funds. "Let's put the politics aside and do what's in the best interest of the people," Cuomo said, pressing Congress to vote before breaking for the holidays.
Mangano echoed the calls for swift action, saying the hard-hit county had a message for Congress: "Work together; this region is in need."
Schnirman said the $24 million in immediate funding will not only help with cleanup costs but also will "send the signal to Moody's on Wall Street that the city is viable and will maintain that access to capital and liquidity that we need to keep going."
The city has fought to keep its bond rating from being downgraded by Moody's Investors Service since being bumped from an A1 rating to Baa3 last December -- signaling to investors a move from a low-credit risk to a moderate one. In June, Moody's issued a statement that Long Beach was "no longer under review for downgrade" after city officials approved a "more conservative" $88 million 2012-13 budget.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), in a statement issued Sunday, said, "This federal cash was rushed to the community [Long Beach] to help deal with the financial burden, and it is just the start."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has to date made seven awards to New York municipalities, totaling $291.7 million across the seven counties in the state worst affected by Sandy, according to FEMA.
FEMA spokesman Ed Conley said such grants go to reimbursing municipalities for lifesaving and life-sustaining costs incurred during the storm and for repair costs for public-owned facilities or infrastructure. The money is released first to the state, which then reimburses local and county government.
"This is actually pretty early on in the recovery phase . . ." Conley said.
