Just because a child doesn't qualify for special education services doesn't mean he or she doesn't need a little help when it comes to reading, writing and math.
Title I, a federally funded program, helps pay for local teachers to give students a boost in those subjects, with the goal of bringing them up to grade level.
It's also one of the programs that could be cut if the Jan. 2 fiscal cliff happens, and local school districts could see reductions — by hundreds of thousands of dollars — in how much Title I money they receive.
School districts are also concerned about the loss of funding for several other programs that help pay for things like special education, maintenance for aging buildings and even after-school programs. The cuts would probably start at the beginning of next fiscal year, July 1.
"These cuts will have the most dramatic effect for students who are already identified as 'at-risk,'" said Don Owen, of the Urbana school district, "which is all the more reason we as a society need to be concerned about (the fiscal cliff's) impact on public schools."
Owen is the district's assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
Take, for example, students who use Title I.
Its services are crucial for students who don't qualify for special education services but need a boost in reading, writing or math to perform at grade level, said Jo Perkins, a retired Title I teacher who still works three days a week at Leal Elementary in Urbana,
"It gives a double dose of reading or math," Perkins said.
Students using the service either do so outside the classroom, or Title I teachers sometimes work with students in their regular classrooms.
The goal is to work with students for a quarter or semester to help them catch up, and then work with the next group of children who need help.
Without Title I, those students won't get the extra support they need because classroom teachers simply don't have time, Perkins said.
"There's not enough time in the day to meet all these needs," she said.
The Champaign school district estimates it could lose between $430,000 and $500,000 next year in Title I and Title II money, according to district spokeswoman Stephanie Stuart.
Title II pays for teachers' professional development, and some teachers' salaries to keep class sizes from getting too big, Stuart said.
Urbana estimates it could lose between about $156,500 and about $182,500 in Title I money and between about $29,500 and about $34,500 in Title II money, according to Carol Baker, Urbana's director of business.
When it comes to IDEA grants that help pay for special education, Champaign could lose between $175,000 and $200,000 and Urbana, between about $105,000 and about $122,000.
Baker said Urbana could also lose some of the $648,500 it receives in interest credits on bonds it sold, as well. Owen said cuts could also affect money it receives in Teaching American History Grant and its three 21st Century Learning Community Grants, which it uses to send students on free or reduced lunch to after-school activities.
Stuart said the school district would convene a committee to recommend how the programs will be cut if the fiscal cliff happens.
Owen said making the cuts taking effect next year gives the district "a little time to prepare, but not much."
"These cuts come on top of cuts made by the State of Illinois through the state legislature and (the state board of education) over the past two years," Owen said.
What is the fiscal cliff?
The "fiscal cliff" refers to the wholesale expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and the simultaneous implementation of across-the-board spending cuts. The potential spending reductions, to be divided between military and domestic programs, were locked into place more than a year ago in hopes the threat would have forced a compromise on a deficit reduction deal before now.
Economists in and out of government warn that sending the economy over the "cliff" would trigger a recession. To avoid the danger, President Obama and Congress are hoping to devise a plan that can reduce future deficits by as much as $4 trillion in a decade, cancel the tax increases and automatic spending cuts and expand the government's ability to borrow beyond the current limit of $16.4 trillion.

A wonderful world it is contemplated Jake as he planted his seed to grow his beanstalk. He knew that this beanstalk would nourish many so he watched it grow. One day he awoke and the beanstalk was clearing the sky and he decided to climb it. Singing merrily to himself: "Oh, what wonderful day to play with your evolution. I planted this stalk of beans and it's growing beyond my conception. So I shall climb it to discover has it evolved another wonderful world beyond ." Jake was foremost a positive thinker. He began to climb singing "evolution conception a world beyond - evolution conceives a world afar."
Jake climbed the beanstalk that day. He discovered that there was life formed beyond but he was afraid to adventure further and promised himself that he would build the courage to go the step afar. He knew that he had to be well prepared for his adventure, so on his descent down the stalk he began to develop his plan for his journey to continue. As always, Jake began to sing: " Mmmm… The adventure I am about to partake could be quite dangerous; however, I must completely discover that place. I know that it may be my very last visit – the next – but I am going back to conquer it and that's that ." Jake begins to instill belief in self.
Jack's Next Adventure
As Jack planned he would make two weapons and use them if needed. He would take some food with him for his sustenance and a change of clothes for his comfort. He must travel lightly. He cannot be overloaded. This was an adventure to discover the beyond and then return home. He would set some landmarks as he journey within this other world to ensure that he could return to his beanstalk, therefore, assuring his returning home and thus, hopefully safely.
Day ten, after the discovery of this world beyond, Jake began to climb his beanstalk once again. Now know that this City that Jack was from had many beanstalks. Did Jack think he was only one with this discovery? Everyone had to plant their own individual beanstalk. Was Jack's the only one with a world beyond or did he share this with others?
Secrets were known to be kept in City of the Bean People forever.
Well now Jack had arrived into this other world beyond via his beanstalk. It was a flora place and no one was stirring about. He walked and walked and walked until he came to a cellulosic world. Amidst these cell walls of plants and algae was a cave-like house. He heard loud snoring. He felt to see had he lost his weapons. He had not. Jake entered the house. At first he saw feet then legs. These legs were very long but finally he arrived at the knee caps about 6 minutes later. He knew then that this was a big, big person. He became afraid, but he tiptoed on. He discovered the Giant. He was not about to wake him. Jake decided it was time to end this adventure for now and return home.
It took Jack about 1 day to complete his journey home. Nevertheless, he knew he would be back to meet this big person. He had to so that he could discover this world beyond forever. Meaning, he desired the world beyond to be part of his constructed life; therefore, he knew he would fulfill his desire.
Jake did not remove his landmarks on his journey home from his last adventure that took him into the world beyond. He would travel via these landmarks so that he knew how to get back to the Giant's home.
Two weeks later Jake went on his third adventure. His plan was to meet this Big Person and become friends with him if this was possible. He knew his life could be endangered because he was a small man, but he had to find out if this Giant could be his friend. So Jake went on his merriment way singing: " This will be quite an adventure. The third trip to what I will call Giantvillism. It's quite a beautiful place to me, as I see life forming and then there's this Big Person. Giant he will be call, quite scary after all; however, very much worth the adventure and a connection to his world ." Jake stopped singing and walked quietly, continuing on his journey, as he completed climbing his beanstalk.
As Jake continued on his journey to Giant's home, he constantly discovered new knowledge about Giantvillism. Everything was cellulosic. But he notices that some of these cellulosic things may be able to take human life form. However, it seemed that they needed triggering. An evolutionary world he had discovered with biological means and after he met Giant and if they became friends, he would find this world's trigger point because it was necessary and should be develop and this is the premise he would live by and also influence Giant to do the same through his instruction, if needed. Hopefully, Giant may know how to do this himself but needed a motivator. Jake knew well that he was that and more. Jake perceived himself as quite powerful.
Halfway to Giant's home Jake felt aspiration and became aspirated and as usually, began to sing while breathing out. He continued his singing merrily and almost ran into Giant who was outside his home. Jake found himself no more than twenty feet away from Giant when he saw his legs in a standing position. Jake did a double-take and hid behind an object he did not have a name for but if he described it, it would be to him a big fossil plant or maybe an artifact of this world. Giant began to move and it seems as if he was humming. However, Jake decided he was singing in his native language, which words sounded like those of a hummingbird. Jake needed a plan of approach and while he was thinking, he fell asleep behind the big fossil plant.

Jake's Two Week Stay
Jake Castle began to think about Giant and Maddy. Looking in his case he decided to write a melody for when he brings his family, which include Nefa (his wife) and his three children (Jake, Jr. who was named after Jake, Nefreda Maria who was named after Nefa whose name was Nefreda Marie, and Joseph), to Giantvillism on his next visit in which they would perform this melody for the Giant and Maddy. And, of course, Giant and Maddy would be included in this performance.
Jake's Melody
From the Big People cell in this cellulosic world stands Giant and Maddy - two of the same.
What well they do with their knowledge?
Well, Giant states there will be more evolvement!
From the Big People cell in this cellulosic world, stands Giant and Maddy; two of the same.
Why are they cousins?
They cellulosic life forms are from the Big People cell.
From the Big People cell in this cellulosic world, stands Giant and Maddy; two of the same.
Do you think there will be more like them?
Will Giant speak?
I am in this melody and Jake calls me Giant.
My people have started evolving, therefore, more than sure; there will be more of me and Maddy.
Jake now knows of my hidden strength and that is through other's writings.
From the Big People cell in this cellulosic world, stands Giant and Maddy; two of the same.
Jake has visited Giant many times and now Maddy is here twice. Family I bring for number thirteen and now we will tell what we have seen !
Jake finished his melody and went to where Giant and Maddy was standing. He did not say anything to Giant about his mental abilities. Jake felt he should wait to see would Giant ever share out or would he keeps this a secret. This would tell Jake what he needed to know and how to go when evolving continued. Jake pulled Giant's shirt. "Hello Giant, I have awakened." "Oh, of course, Jake; you are back and ready to journey with Maddy and I," asked Giant? "And Jake, my real name is Herbert but you can call me Giant. I have become kind of fond of that nickname," stated Giant. Jake responded and said, "You shall be Herbert the Giant and your name shall be shortened to Giant. However, do you have a surname or a last name?" Herbert the Giant states: "My people last name is Big People. Therefore, my last name would be Herbert of the Big People, which you have substituted for the Giant." Jake ask, "Which would you prefer, Herbert the Giant or Herbert of the Big People?" Giant said softly, "Jake please call me Giant as a nickname but my real name has to remain Herbert of the Big People." Jake said, "Well do!"
The Big Person Stone
Maddy had many things to tell Giant and Jake, but he had also one thing to hide and that was a secret he kept deep inside. Every morning Maddy woke with a glow and Giant would ask: "Are you well Maddy?" Maddy's response was: "I am growing Giant and that's why I glow!" " Glow Maddy, Glow; Go Maddy, Go; Grow Maddy, Grow !" stated Giant." "Reason being that I know Maddy's secret and he will keep this secret because it is just us two and never will he tell the truth. Nevertheless, the truth will be revealed when the stone of life plants a tree," sang Giant. "Maddy will wonder should he tell me."
Maddy continues to glow for about three years. He grew just as tall as he could be, which is 7 feet "3" inches. Cells were formed on this tree and Maddy wife was one from this blessing. Giant did not seek Maddy for an explanation but stated to Maddy he still possessed his secret and that is when Maddy spoke of the stone and Giant and he became blood. And all know this is when a family was formed.
The Big People Stone created the monarchy that ruled Giantvillism. Giant would be the King and Maddy was part of the Royal Family. This was not known to Jake and his family and would be revealed when Jake returned in late December. Many surprises are in store for Jake of the Bean People. Giant and Maddy will be the presenters.
Once Jack awoke, he began to plan his approach. As he was doing this, he noticed many things about the environment that surrounded him. He paid close attention because these things would help him plan his approach more accurately to Giant's being. This was home so therefore, it must affect him in some way somehow. The algae changed colors. The cells breathe and the air sometimes hyperventilated when it was required by the cellulosic life forming in Giantvillism. Thus, Giant could be startled and Jake could get his attention by talking to him this time until he knew it was appropriate to meet. That is when one did not fear the other. Jake expressed himself as the in-depth intellectual.
Giant appeared and Jake said in his native language: "Hello Big Person. I have given you a name– Giant." Giant looked startled. However, Giant said in his native language, which for whatever reason Jake understood: "Are you here on a visit? Are you cellulosic as well or something else?" Jake sense that someone or something else had visited here before so he asked: "Do you have many visitors?" Giant responded normally: "Yes, of the cellulosic kind but I feel you are different because you chose to hide." Jake said: "We must get to know each other first and be comfortable with the knowledge that I am not like here before I come out of hiding. Giant, as I call you, I will know when that is appropriate or when it is time for us to meet in person. I will be back and we will get to know each other more. However, this time we must not because I sense your apprehension and you sense mine. Courage will be both our stance and maybe the vibes will tell us that the next time. Do you agree?" Giant says: "Yes go!" Jack found that Giant may be visually stronger than him but was not going to use that ability to seek him out this time. He asked himself why and left quietly.
These meetings took place for several weeks when Giant stated: "Hello Jack and I do thank you for telling me your name. You may go but on your next visit we will meet in person. You know I am visually better than you and maybe once I seek you out, the next time you are in my village, I will tell you more! Bye for now and I'll await your next visit. I will know when you arrive." Jake said: "Thanks, and I will ponder over this for a moment before my return. Bye for now!" Jack leaves well pleased and [the] Giant sneeze, smiles and leave walking in the opposite direction of Jack as if by pure coincidence. Nevertheless, Jake did not sense this.
City of the Bean People
The City of the Bean People is quite a beautiful place. It is such a pleasant environment that no one mocks it in any way. The Bean People create landmarks that are individualized and part of each individual's mind in which others cannot define. Jake has his own personal beanstalk as everyone does, therefore, this is how this is done.
As a life formed, The Bean People remain little girls and boys even as adults in which age is just a number and mortal life is that of an immortal. The tallest male in the city is about 5 "7" and the shortest male is about 4 "9," however, this is the majority of the time. Jake was one of the rare ones. He stood at 5 "6 ½" tall. The tallest female in the city was 5 "5" and the shortest female was 4 "7". Nefa, Jake's wife, stood at 4 "9" in which many of the females in City of the Bean People possessed the same height. Thus, one would know that Jake married because he loved Nefa as he did his own life. This is told because more than often in City of the Bean People marriage was chosen based on height and everyone want to be mated just right.
Physical fitness was not an issue. Because this City was individually bean stalked, everyone climbed and walked. Obesity was not seen. More or less, in City of the Bean People, they were fine specimens of human beings. Body tight and muscles in place, City of the Bean People was ahead of nations in exercise, healthcare, and life span with a low mortality rate. Morals and principality were practice though The Doctrine of Crop and Harvest. Each male and female had to adapt to this doctrine in their own way and integrate it into the family once they became adults and mated in which marriage was mandated. The Bean People religion was denominational in which they called themselves Prosperus because they have lived their lives in abundance and prosperity since their creation and/or cellulosic existence - never being ill or poor always maintaining their subsistence.
Religious gatherings happen on Thursday as well in Bean's Cathedral. The Scribes would read from The Doctrine of Crop and Harvest and the Bean people who attended would be blessed for a greater existence in which this would prepare them to covenant in Bean Town on Thursday night. Their partying was very diverse. They did not drink liquor but had many things to drink and a lot of food to eat. Those that did not attend would be attending to last minute business in which the Scribes understood and blessed them with The Smoke of Missing Hope during Bean's Cathedral Religious Gathering. Once this was done all was well in City of the Bean People and Bean Town tinkled.
Jake's Return to Giantvillism
Now Jake was quite ready to return to Giantvillism, however, he wanted to be prepared for whatever. So on the day of his departure, which was three months from the last; he gathered has weapons and added a flask of merriment. This he would give to Giant as a gift. As always, Jake begin to sing: " I am going to give Giant a gift. A flask of merriment and he will enjoy this. Therefore, I'm on my way to Giantvillism and maybe Giant and I will travel beyond into his cellulosic world !"
Jake began to climb his beanstalk, which took three hours to the top. Once he finally made it to solid ground, Jake began to walk. He knew his way well now because of the eleven times he had visit Giant and this was the twelfth. Jake felt at ease and please with being here in which he knew that Giant awaited his return and that Giant knew he was coming [this day].
As Jake travel on to Giant's cave, he discovered that some of the cellulosic life forms had evolved. He saw a little man building a house and stop to converse, however, the little man, did not seem to hear a word spoken so Jake tapped him on the shoulder and both the little man and the house he was constructing vanished. Jake walked on until he came upon a woman with four children and she spoke to Jake. "Hello, Jake! So, you return today." Jake was overwhelmed. She knew his name, but he did not know hers. Jake responded: "What is your name my lady? I do not know yours, however, you do know mine." "My name is Melody. I am a gypsy. Therefore, I know things that Bean People do not." Jake became fascinated and asked: "How do you know that I am a Bean person?" Melody answered and said: "Well gypsies have insight into others' lives or life lines and Jake with you, it is your height, which is the factor. I must go now with my four and maybe I will see you again to tell you some more." Jake smiled and bid her farewell and not a goodbye.
"About five miles", Jake thought "and I will be at Giant's house." Humming and then he begin to sing because he knew this would make time leave much sooner. This is the melody Jake song. ",My life is that of an ordinary man. I stand 5"6" and have such small hands. But if I need to be as big as I can be, I have another half of pint in me. My wife truly loves me and soon, yes I do believe, she be traveling with me to Gianvillism and we will make love in this cellulosic world as we did in Bean Town as teenagers. Oh, her name is Nefa!"
Finally, arriving at Giant's cave house; however, Giant was not at home in which Jake knew he would wait because he was there to stay for at least five days, which his wife Nefa knew he would be gone for that long but no longer than fourteen days or two weeks. Jake fell asleep and was awakened by Giant's return home. Giant knew he was there and came into his home with a loud bellow: "Hello Jake, glad of your return. I have a pleasant surprise for you. Some of the cellulosic life forms have evolved in Giantvillism and with me is my cousin Maddy." Jake jumped from his mat and states: "I discovered this on my journey to see you, Giant. First, I met a little man building a house. I tried to talk to him, but he did not hear me and when I touched him on his shoulder he and his house disappeared. Next, I met a gypsy named Melody who knew me immediately by name and by my people. However, I knew nothing about her. We talked and then she had to leave. So, Giant I am not that surprised but I would like to know why do you call Maddy your cousin?" Giant responded: "Well, Jake you see I am from a cellulosic life form as well and Maddy evolved the same way I did. Being from a cellulosic life form one do not evolve as brothers or sisters; only cousins. Therefore, our family history in Giantvillism is based on the foundation of how we evolve. Maddy is the second of my evolutionary life form."
Giant, Maddy, and Jake begin to get to know each other. It seems that all the difficulty Jake was afraid of in getting to know Giant three months ago had been banished when the cellulosic life form evolved while Jake was away. Jake was learning about Giant's life through him telling Maddy about what it meant to be from the cell of the Big People. It seems that this cell came in many heights because Maddy was not a giant. He was about 6"1". Jake would say that women would think he was considerably handsome. Giant also said that The Cell of the Big People would evolve many more cousins within the next five years as adults in order for them to procreate and start families. Jake then spoke and told both that this is what happen in his world as well. Giant went on to say that many more life forms were in Giantvillism and their cells had the same capabilities and authorities. With all said, Jake thought: "Hmmm, every world becomes different but then they are all quite the same."
Culture in Bean Town was part of the City bling, bling! They socialized and told about what was happening in their lives and party until sunrise. These extravaganzas [usually] happen on Thursday night and when all was tired; they slept until Saturday. When Sunday arrived, they rose and begin their weekly journey into meaningful lives. Some were Doctors of the Common Cold in which Bean People got quite often but never became severely ill because these doctors had magnificent skills. There were no other illness and/or physical maladies in this city; however, a child could be born with difficulty if the mother concealed her pregnancy. Since marriage was mandated but did not curtail sex, this occurs often enough to become a problem. The doctors then would provide the mother and child with a sanctuary and the father was mandated by elder law to marry her and that would bless the child. From there, whatever was the child's malady it would become a strength in which it could be either medical or mental but it would be extended to another place in City of the Bean People. Meaning, that this malady would become a sacred beanstalk in which the child would gain spiritual guidance and religious definition because an element or elements would be missing from his or her soul and this was needed for completeness of his or her human life formed and no one knew of this but the Doctors and the Scribes.
Once a Bean person did die, burial ceremony was carried out by Scribes in which they were dressed in the leaves of their Beanstalk and was buried in The Field of Lost Lives, which extended miles and miles, which never ends until City of the Bean People expires.
The women of Bean Town usually were Cooks, Teachers, Nurses, and Weavers. The men were the Doctors, Scribes, and the Landscapers. However, these were not mandated occupations by gender and in rare occasions there would be indifference. Their economics was based on a trading system but this was established through industry and agrarian means in which their currency became the leaf (prosperose) from the Beanstalk of Prosperity, which only could be obtained by trading with the Scribes and the more affluent Doctors.
Oh, shudder at the tales they tell
of making bricks or weed;
they're made to work without reward.
their childhood's gone to seed.
They're selling drugs and stolen goods
from car to street to door;
and trading guns for merchandise
with quotas to get more.
Where is their hope devoid of God?
and who will share His name?
The law is broke; then who will stand
to rescue them from shame?
Young girls are made to turn a trick
and boys must live with sleaze
for food and shelter, clothes to wear -
just bare necessities.
Some run-aways, some throw-aways
they're humans dealt as slaves.
They need defense from threat of harm
to shield them from their graves.
Where is their hope devoid of God?
and who will share His name?
The law is broke; then who will stand
to rescue them from shame?

One day not long past our economy faltered
And wouldn't improve if our course were unaltered.
'Cause we buy stuff at Wal-Mart (where things are dirt cheap)
'Cause they buy from China (treats workers like sheep
(So farmers left farms and moved to the city.
And hoped for life better (no luck, such a pity) )).
They went right to work (but folks who had power
got 'em to work for six bits an hour).
To make matters worse our credit froze up.
Couldn't spend - couldn't borrow - couldn't buy a tin cup.
You think this is bad? It's downhill from there.
Institutions cried "uncle" - said cupboards were bare.
Couldn't borrow, couldn't lend, no business as usual.
So they opened their books to wide-eyed perusal.
Our Treasury Secretary called Congress to action.
Said money was needed to unfreeze this impaction.
So they gave loads of money to our secretary mighty
Who they said was quite stern and not the least flighty.
He'd disburse the funds wisely with skill and great cunning.
He'd soon save us all with our economy running
Full tilt dead ahead. We'd all have great jobs.
Or funds to build business. No more wailing. No sobs.
But he hadn't a plan, no clue what to do.is
Gasp! I'm shocked! I'm surprised! Weren't you?
"The problem's bad assets. I know what to do.
Throw billions to the wind to buy them from you!
It's a crisis, a panic, no time to lose!
So give me 300 billion dollars to use!"
Congress quick cut a check - didn't ask any questions.
Full speed ahead - damn the objections!
Then five minutes later, he said. "Sorry, my bad.
Sky's ok after all. Billions gone. So sad."
Next thing you know 'nother check's in the mail.
Now they thought lenders were too big to fail
So they gave them our billions and tried to act manly:
While sheepishly mincingly bailing out Morgan Stanley!
Money still wasn't flowing so they tried a new tack.
Gave money to banks they needn't pay back!
And what of the money they'd gotten for free?
They'd loan me the money they'd gotten from me!
The banks got a downpour but oh life is fickle.
While they bathe in money – for me? Not a trickle.
Then came execs who'd wrecked A-I-G
They wept and they pleaded and cried, "Please save meeee!"
Fannie Mae queued up next just before Freddie Mac
Who lent money to people who couldn't pay back.
Congress gasped (so we'd notice) and then cried "Enough!"
To make it look good they called Lehman a bluff:
Sacrificially beheaded poor Lehman Brothers.
They gave them no money (unlike all the others)
But kept spending funds like water that's runny
With glee and abandon, disposition so sunny.
Through Fingers of Congress funds flowed like warm honey.
'Round town it got spent like Monopoly money.
"A billion here and a billion there and soon it's real money!"
I laughed once before but now it's not funny.
I'm sure I would spend it way better then you.
A deaf ear I'd turn to pleas of "me too".
I can't hear the cries the wails the shouts
The So Helpless pleadinghim beseeching handouts
And we're still on the hook for money by tons,
A stack past the moon if you use only ones!
How much do we owe? Lean close and I'll tell you.
It's the biggest darn number that ever befell you.
It's 3.5x10 to the twelf –
A number so huge I can't count it myself.
So I worked with my neighbors and friends that I knew.
We'd just about finished when it quivered and grew.
We bravely pressed on but got worried because
It grew to a monster ten times what it was.
It far, far exceeds all the debt on my house.
Makes my debt seem much smaller than a flea on a mouse.
So here's what I owe, scientifically noted.
(No interest – it's merely the loan the bank floated)
It's 1.2x10 to the fifth.
If you say it's a trifle I'll really be miffed!
To me it's a fortune, a mountain, a gob.
It's enormous, it's huge – a train-wreck-size glob.
But to you with your trillions it barely rates mention
A blip even smaller than my crummy old pension.
I'll make a comparison to give some perspective.
Divide smaller by bigger – a percent's the objective.
The quotient is less than the least you might fine us:
Just 3.4x10 to the eighth minus!
That's 3.4 millionths expressed as percent
If you lost that amount would you care where it went?
If it fell from the table it wouldn't be missed.
Only know it was gone if you looked at your list.
Compared to the bailout and financial-type terror
My mortgage amounts to a small rounding error.
The amount is so small, a grain you can't see.
How much could hurt if it came back to me?
But accountants all say it would just cause inflation.
They say if I had it I could harm our whole nation!
Imagine that. Me! Oh the power I've got!
So just you tell me: should I use it? Or not?
The problems roll on and Congress still spends.
Ford, G-MAC, and Chrysler - the list never ends.
I want to flee far away when I consider this bailout.
Catch the next boat, settle in, and just sail out.
I'd find me a country where companies are smarter
And don't need my help like a belt needs a garter.
Whoops, I forgot. It spans the whole world.
It catches each breeze like a sail unfurled.
So I fret and I grimace - it's now up to trillions.
How long can it be 'til they're spending quadrillions?!

In our lives filled with lofty goals,
We may reach for much beyond our means,
And as interest is piqued and grows,
We sell wisps of notions as our pipe dreams,
Yet while news breaches concerned factions,
Of those who would off-hand discount our plan,
You may well consider these actions,
To be the final throes of a desperate man,
Watch me rush headlong at windmills,
Listen to my brave and salient battle cries,
For with nothing I easily afford the shills,
This puffery of pipe dreams which may sink or rise,
Take account of what may be lost,
Incredible credible reputations,
So to me the onus is tossed,
And I afford pipe dream facilitations,
But as prospect becomes tangible,
And peppered pipe dreams begin to spin,
Overt liability then manageable,
The need for my Quixotic services thin,
The writing's on the wall distinct and clear,
Yet I long for the impossible it seems,
Where I keep the company of the grand seer,
And remain the nexus of fantastic pipe dreams.
- Before I get too much bad press here I want you to know
the term 'Puffery' means to build something up with flowery language.

Greed is greed
Is greed in greed?
No greed no grade?
Greed of grade
Is grade is a greed?
Real greed is greed.
Greed is danger.
A danger is greed.

Dangerous of greed

The story of two different highway drives
But it all amounts to a strive
The event is a Greyhound male bus Operator named Jeff
The Female Trucker being Jennifer
It was the California Highway 101
Just around the bend
Suddenly the bend came a when
The Female Trucker broke down on the side of the road
Then there was a behold, Greyhound Bus Operator Jeff pulled his bus right behind the Female Trucker's trailer
Jeff approached Jennifer and asked, "Do you need some help?"
At first, Jennifer seemed skeptical that a Greyhound bus would stop on the side of the road to help somebody else in need
But the question became an answer in proceed
Now mine you, there were Greyhound bus passengers aboard, but the bus schedule was behind
Will this put Jeff in a bind?
Jennifer responded in an abrupt matter
But you will be surprised in what happened after
Jeff knew exactly what was wrong with the truck
After all, he once drove a truck before coming to Greyhound and was once a mechanic before that
In Jennifer's mind, Jeff and the Greyhound bus having all the right tools
But Jen was no fool
Jen thanks and kissed Jeff on the cheek
The truck was fixed and ready in being complete
The Greyhound bus passenger's all applauded, and stated, "Forget the Greyhound ride as we all just witnessed our own live movie love stride"
Jen then drove off onto highway 101
Jeff pulled off onto the highway informing the passengers that next stop will be Los Angeles, the final stop
The highway bringing maybe two hearts together
Yet it is a secret between the two
Now don't look further into
This is not for us to pursue
As a finale, sometimes this is what love can do.

I spill my heart,
I spill my guts,
And you may ask,
Why all this fuss?
Owners Selling Dogs,
Owners Selling Guns,
Oh there is more,
And it's been great fun.
Day after day, month after month,
Countless are the hours I spend,
To create this behemoth,
Seemingly to no end.
Owners Selling Cars,
Owners Selling Trucks,
Oh there is so much more,
But I'm having no luck.
So to you I turn,
To seek your advice,
Do I have more to learn,
Or will this suffice?
Owners Selling Motorcycles,
Owners Selling Motorhomes,
But one thing I just wish is,
I didn't have to do this on my own.
No brokers, no dealers,
No agents or salesmen,
You'd think that clients,
Would now be rushing in.
Owners Selling Businesses,
Owners Selling Real Estate,
Look and you will find,
The greatest I could create.
So if you have the time,
To surf the net some,
Check out my sites,
And just add dot com
Owners Selling Boats,
Owners Selling Land,
Please just take a look,
P.S. I'm the salesman.

I run for ever
I run for fun
The ample resource clouds my judgment
I am further from the truth
I only see sky
My conscious is my compass
I try to elevate and articulate
This is air for ever to breathe
Going to fall in the shadows
No-name is the order of the day
I symbolize confusion
Then the elevator goes down
I am in the dark place I belong
I transpose for reality
My orders are complete
I am a heat seeking missile
Point me and I destroy
This is my future and past all rolled into one
The game is over
I have only regret as my friend

Who will be the right Presidential candidate pick?
Whose agenda's that captured well in the stick?
One must be able to stand in the White House
When it comes to being the Commander in Chief, one cannot act like a frightened mouse
Create Peace where all possible
Have policies that will be able
Attention to the American Flag
Be a President, but don't be a drag
The world that sees the U.S. President as an ally
A Constitution that brings harmony and Peace in world try
Wars in not being destruction of lives that makes the world cry
American Voters examining candidates like a microscope
A world where everyone can cope
Millionaires should not get favors being their right
A media broadcast should not become a plight
The American people should not have to sit and remain uptight
Today's lives come with no portion being bright
Bring us out of the tunnel and into the light
A new day with a new vision in plain sight
Tomorrow is here, but need a President that will take us there
The vote is in America's hands, and comes with total assurance at their demand
It's up to you and the Presidential candidate must come through
i'd craved you beneath
a sullen stroking hinder
i'd mastered your total
morale absolute need
for touch as simplicity
mattered less throughout
the graveness rather
flowing between a covenant
a sinking nook above seaside inn
where memories rolled out
with the evening tide
coasting hushes mass sighing
an yet you followed
aimlessly beckoning my thrushing
hints timelessly awaiting
a rush of wetness bathing
in tasteful chatter wandering
about canyons of steel
bending binding a cast frame
casing emotions intertwined
over a bottle of coppola
my bronzed glow lit up the room
the shore kissed new jersey at noon

Go to the ant and learn (2x's)
Go to the ant, ant, ant
Go to the ant and learn- (Chorus)
She digs her house down deep
She builds her house up high
And though she has no king
Her armies stay alive
In the summer she will reap
For the coming winter sky
She gathers everything
Her colonies survive
Consider all her ways
She's small but she expects
Her people stay as one
And she is strong and wise
So number all your days
Prepare for what comes next
And til everything is done
Let no sleep tempt your eyes
Go to the ant, ant, ant (3x's)

It's Thursday afternoon,
there's a buzz in the office
about a memo sent straight from the top
Even before you read it,
you sense somethings's not right,
by the looks of that fidgety company cop
The memo said,
short and succinct:
Tomorrow you won't get paid
Hold the phone,
you better call the local precinct
There's some thievery going on I'm afraid
It's bad when you work,
and you don't get paid
It ain't good, no way, no how
It's bad when you work,
and you don't get paid
It's like being a muzzled ox chained to a plow
You didn't sign up to be no office slave
You're furious, and you need to vent
You're worried about where you're going to live,
if you're not able to pay the rent
It's hard to make ends meet with a bouncing check,
it's near impossible to try and move up
Working for nothing wasn't the career plan
You might as well be outside holding a cup
It's bad when you work,
and you don't get paid
It ain't good, no way, no how
It's bad when you work,
and you don't get paid
It's like being a muzzled ox chained to a plow
It's bad when you work,
and you don't get paid
Guess you're free to live in poverty now

A beautiful lifestyle guarantee:
All these wonderful gifts for free!
Read about indiscretions,
In the latest ads they've got running:
All the secret alliances you could be planning.
High-class, back door man's agency stands here;
Nobody gets through the front entrance easily:
maids, s and some high-class s.
Bureacracy assures a business fee for the license:
He operates as long as the city hall makes money.
While the business community removes
Ladies of the night in ripped, fishnet stockings
That their mothers wouldn't approve of.
Forget the dealers and their offerings of ;
Enslavement to the streets is an opportunistic game.
These white collars workers insist on discrimination;
As long as they go around with their golddigging wives;
They are the ones to make the exception.
We don't talk about their little indiscretions;
As long as 'don't ask, don't tell' replaces the question.
"Put on your ripped fishnet stockings, my love!
As long as we're in this posh hotel room, nobody cares
About dry brown toast from the local bar!"
And room service that requires a tip on the table
Much larger than his precious, cheap fifty cents.
Think about going there for an interview?
Put on your best fake happy face;
Don't look like a living, walking disgrace!
Think about what the price of making money is.
Call that a career opportunity?
Private escort agency?
Girls arrive desperately;
Underage, possibly?
Call that a career possibility?

Hope my superman sings along to those dracula's frequencies,

Please come in and sit down
We're so happy to offer you
A seat (down on the ground)
We think your work is special
And for a tiny price
We would like to show the world
Your work, won't that be nice?
See your name (for a tiny fee)
In the books we'll sell at…cough
But we're offering you this special price
Of fifty percent off!
What page you ask? Well let me see
Hand me that magnify glass?
Yes here you are, next to two great works
"Belly Lint" and "Gas"
Every poem another dream
(And another wad of bills.)
Those who hope to share their work,
Pride, our easiest thrill.
We don't mean to trick you
That's a bonus in the deal.
See where you signed?
Well legally, you paid, we didn't steal.
The books they maybe shabby
The CD poor quality
We don't cater to poets friend
We slurp from vanity.
You didn't get MY money
But not all see that it's a sham
I searched for a beginners' friend
I found another legal scam.

We open at 5 and close at sunset
I expect a lot of production, I provide water and towels for sweat
A complimentary lunch that comes in a can
There is a choice of ham or turkey made from SPAM
They love the conditions, so they don't want to stop
I have many benefits owning my own sweatshop
I have people making jeans and shoes
My business, by the Department of Labor has been approved
One girl is pregnant, but not by me
Her parents put the blame on Cathy Lee
Now another 16 hour shift has ended
Immigration came through, my business license has been suspended
They say I am the cause of tax evasion
Oh well, I have enough money, time for a vacation
I ask Cathy lee to meet me at the New Haven Truck Stop
I need expert advice on how to run a sweatshop
She has given me the advice I need
She said don't use cotton, save money by switching to tweed
She also said lower their wages
For defiant workers, provide empty cages
It all comes down to making your business the cream of the crop
I got advice from the expert on how to run my own sweatshop

Pinnacles rise calling their name
Letters on an index they became
At one time ethics reigned
The slaves had value in some past day
Cast aside no longer having a place till his grave
The God's finding cheaper more willing slaves
More riches for them to plunder
Gold for them to save
A new land to take
Humanity they forsake
The God's of Greed always thunder
That is not their fault that mankind suffer
That any man can be a God of Greed
Provided he serves only his own need
And use the slaves for what they be
Pawns in chess game
Played by the God's of Greed.

So I headed uptown today
to yet another postcard show
Millions of images for sale - some as low as a quarter
Picked up some cards from an Israeili dealer
Images of one of the early leaders of that embattled land
which I have visited only once
Ran into a friend I know from poetry readings
He was busy at the 25 cent box
Been writing about postcards for years
Actually making some money from it!!
Another postcard show
To paraphrase the Beach Boys
"When they but a rare postcard they'll be sitting on top of the world"

WAUCONDA — Wearing a black Harley-Davidson T-shirt, dark leather boots and sunglasses, Scott Bohl stood ready to ride his Harley a hundred miles through 85-degree heat to raise money for seriously ill children.
The 30-year-old McHenry resident had only one question when he walked up to register for the second annual Dream Ride.
"So you drop off the little teddy bears here?" Bohl asked with a slight smile as he pointed to a pile of stuffed animals on the registration table in front of Dina Piazza's beauty shop, the organizer of the ride, in downtown Wauconda. Bohl sheepishly asked the question because he didn't have a bear to drop off.

Tall Tales & Legends: John Henry
"On the night John Henry was born, lightning bolts shaped like nine-pound hammers filled the sky," and from that day on, John Henry was known as the extraordinary boy who became an extraordinary man. Acclaimed film actor Danny Glover (The Color Purple, Lethal Weapon) stars as John Henry, the American folk hero who became the famous steel-driving man of American folk lore and song. Joining him in an all-star cast is Tom Hulce (Amadeus) as Quinn, the Irish servant who was raised on the same plantation as John Henry.

Boxx Launches 3DBoxx 8950 Workstation
Subject: General Tech, Systems | March 26, 2013 - 06:18 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: workstation, nvidia, GTC 2013, BOXX, 3dboxx 8950
Boxx Technologies recently launched a new multi-GPU workstation called the 3DBoxx 8950. It is aimed at professionals that need a fast system with beefy GPU accelerator cards that they can design and render at the same time. The 8950 is intended to be used with applications like Autodesk, Dassault, NVIDIA iray, and V-Ray (et al).
The Boxx 3DBoxx 8950 features two liquid cooled Intel Xeon Ed-2600 processors (2GHz, 16 cores, 32 threads), up to 512GB of system memory (16 DIMM slots), and seven PCI-E slots (four of which accept dual slot GPUs, the remaining three are spaced for single slot cards). A 1250W power suppy (80 PLUS Gold) powers the workstation. An example configuration would include three Tesla K20 cards and one Quadro K5000. The Tesla cards would handle the computation while the Quadro can power the multi-display ouput. The chassis has room for eight 3.5" hard drives and a single externally-accessible 5.25" drive. The 8950 workstation can be loaded with either the Windows or Linux operating system.
Rear IO on the 8950 workstation includes:
- 5 x audio jacks
- 1 x optical in/out
- 4 x USB 2.0 ports
- 1 x serial port
- 2 x RJ45 jacks, backed by Intel Gigabit NICs
The system is available now, with pricing available upon request. You can find the full list of specifications and supported hardware configurations in this spec sheet (PDF).

The mystery of finding missing pilot Steve Fossett's airplane after it disappeared over a year ago appears to be nearly over. Rescue teams have discovered the wreckage of a small plane in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, located in eastern California, after Fossett's aviation ID cards were discovered in the area by a hiker earlier in the week. No word yet from rescuers whether the plane wreckage is positively identified as the Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon that Fossett was flying when he disappeared on September 3rd, 2007. Also no word on whether there were any human remains found at the site.
Steve Fossett, best known for being the first person to fly solo around the world in a balloon, disappeared during flight while scouting new locations for an attempt at a new land speed record late last year. Search teams and even web researchers examining sattelite imagery searched nearly 7,500 square miles of mountainous terrain for weeks without luck and eventually the family declared Fossett deceased this past February.
Over 30 search teams are now being formed to examine the mountain side area where the wreckage was found. A National Transportation safety Board investigator has also been dispatched to the area to examine the scene.

XmlSerializationWriteCallback Delegate
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)
During initialization, the .NET Framework XML serialization infrastructure dynamically generates and compiles a temporary class for serialization derived from the XmlSerializationWriter class. During this process, the .NET Framework generates write methods that implement the XmlSerializationWriteCallback class delegate. It does so for certain mappings between .NET Framework types and XML data types that are serialized through SOAP-encoded XML and are not root elements. Then, as necessary, a write method is called during serialization.
You should not directly instantiate XmlSerializationWriteCallback.
SOAP encoding is described in Section 5 of the SOAP 1.1 specification.
Windows 98, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Starter Edition
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see System Requirements.

Cowboys' Jason Hatcher set to meet his long-lost brother, who just happens to be a Fort Worth pastor
IRVING — Defensive lineman Jason Hatcher grew up with five brothers and six sisters, so there isn't much room left at the dinner table during the rare times they all get together.
But now they'll have to come up with one more chair.
That's because Hatcher — the baby boy in the family — learned a few years ago that he had yet one more, older brother. Michael Hatcher, a 51-year-old pastor who lives in Fort Worth, mailed a letter to Jason's home about a year and a half ago to introduce himself in an effort to start building a relationship.
Since then, the two have traded texts every few weeks and communicated via Facebook messages. They have yet to talk on the phone.
Within the next two weeks, however, Jason plans to meet his half-brother face-to-face for the first time. The two plan to get together for a round of golf and perhaps follow up with dinner that would include their families.
Jason is married with two sons and one daughter. Michael is married with three sons and one daughter.
"I really haven't gone into details about myself because at the end of the day, he's a stranger," Jason said this week as the Cowboys finished up off-season practices at Valley Ranch. "But once we get to know each other, it's one of those things that we'll build up to."
The meeting between the two has been a long time in the making. Jason said he put it off for several months as he worked through anger of his father that resurfaced once he found out he had another brother who had been abandoned by his dad.
Jason said he wanted to be in the right frame of mind when he met his oldest brother for the first time.
"I wanted to be able to focus on my brother and not what my dad did to me and him," Jason said. "I can't bring that into this relationship because he doesn't deserve it."
Jason grew up in the small town of Jena, La. His father, Jase, worked off and on as a carpenter and pastor.
When Jason turned 11, his father abandoned the family. Five years later, Jason's mother, Jane (most called her Jean), died of congestive heart failure.
Jason and his 11 siblings never knew they had a long-lost brother.
Strange reunion
Michael was raised by his mother and grew up in El Paso with four sisters and one brother. Since he was 10, he knew his father lived somewhere in Louisiana.
But it wasn't until about four years ago that Michael decided it was time to attempt to track down his father.
Michael was set to be ordained as a minister and wanted to invite his father to Bear Valley Community Church in Colleyville, where he's now the missions pastor.
Michael said one of his friends did some research online and came up with a list of about 50 phone numbers for Hatchers in Louisiana.
The first number Michael dialed turned out to be his grandmother.
"It was kind of scary and I said, 'This might be a strange call for you, but I was looking for my father,'" Michael recalled. "She said, 'Your father is right here,' and she put him on the phone. He gets on the phone and he said, 'Hey, what's going on?' It was one phone call in 45 years of coming together in one moment, so it was kind of strange."
Michael invited his father to his ordination, and his father and two of Jason's sisters drove in from Louisiana to attend. They spent three days getting to know Michael.
"We look alike," Michael said, "so it was kind of strange looking at each other."
Driving force
Jason and Michael share similar interests, including their love for sports, family and God. Michael played college tennis and is a tennis instructor at McLeland Tennis Center in Fort Worth.
Jason and Michael credit their relationship with God for bringing them together.
A few years ago, Michael founded a ministry in Fort Worth called Life House that helps men who have battled drug addictions reconcile with their families by learning life skills.
"Most people are called to the ministry, but I was born for the ministry because I'm a black man who speaks Spanish who is married to a Caucasian," Michael said. "So being able to cross those racial lines has helped me reconcile people."
Michael said the absence of his father in his life was the driving force that led him to start his ministry and helped him not to have any animosity toward his father when he reached out to him.
"I had already forgiven him in my heart," Michael said.
Jason said he has also forgiven his father, though he describes their relationship as a "nonfactor" today.
Jason said he hopes the story of how he found out he had another brother hits home with others as families get ready to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday.
"Even if your father or your mom is not there, keep pushing because you can make it," Jason said. "I could have shut it down when my dad left my life but I didn't. It was a blessing. It didn't hurt me at all because I knew where I wanted to be, and I'm here."
