MANHATTAN — Three community boards have joined together to sharply criticize the Department of City Planning's fast-tracked plan to rezone large areas of East Midtown — saying in a scathing letter that it could run roughshod over potential landmarks and was a gift to developers.
The plan, which is still in the development stages, would allow builders to erect huge new skyscrapers in the area. In a joint statement, Community Boards 4, 5 and 6 blasted the city for speeding the massive rezoning plan along instead of taking the time to carefully develop a strategy.
"Unfortunately, the approach the Department of City Planning has taken thus far sends a clear signal that a political timetable is guiding this work, not an effort to study the issues carefully and reach a consensus on Midtown's many challenges and opportunities," the letter to the department, dated Monday, read.
"More time is needed to consider the implications of the issues we and others have raised and we continue to urge the city to carefully address these questions before putting forward a [Land Use Review] application."
All three boards have met for months to come up with a response to the plan, which the city hopes to formalize by early 2013.
The letter did not mention Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but many members of the three boards have pointed out that under the plan's current timeline, the rezoning proposal would get to the mayor's desk just before his final term ends.
If approved, it would not go into effect for another five years.
By comparison, a similar redevelopment project at Hudson Yards was in the planning stages for years before it was certified by the City Planning Department. In the case of East Midtown, the three community boards were not approached by the city with the idea until April. Several elected officials have also asked the department to slow down its timetable on the proposal.
Neither the mayor's office nor the Department of City Planning were able to immediately comment on the boards' statement.
The letter made it clear that the community boards view the current plan as a gift to developers.
"The focus of this proposal is overwhelmingly on facilitating real estate development," the letter stated.
"Instead, we should start from what we want to see in East Midtown, what kind of experience we want office workers, tourists, and residents to have, and then determine the kind of development that can provide this experience and how best to encourage it. "
Part of that, the letter said, involves building subway improvements in the area before huge new buildings go up and bring more commuters. Under the current plan, cash for such improvements is left to developers, who would pay into a fund only when they obtain their building permits.
The statement also asks for greater protections for potential landmarks like the Graybar Building and Roosevelt Hotel, provisions that would make the new buildings as green as possible, and requests that buildings that might dramatically change the city's skyline go under a greater public review process before they're built.

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission during its Aug. 30 meeting recognized Kim Tavasso, of Winterville, for his induction into the International Hunter Education Association Hall of Fame.
A 20-year volunteer with the North Carolina Hunter Education Program, Tavasso was inducted May 30 during the association's annual conference in Kansas City, Mo. The Wildlife Commission heard a special presentation by the Hunter Education Program about Tavasso's achievement as part of its August business meeting.
The IHEA is a professional association for 67 state and provincial wildlife conservation agencies, and the 70,000 volunteers who teach hunter education in North America. The association sets performance guidelines for basic hunter education and the standards used internationally by hunter education administrators.
"This is quite the honor and to be honest, I am somewhat overwhelmed," Tavasso said. "I was surprised to receive it and it is hard to describe in words how large an honor it is. I am just grateful to the Wildlife Resources Commission and its Hunter Education Program to allow me to reach this level."
Travis Casper, the state hunting education coordinator, commended Tavasso for leadership and innovation.
"This is someone who is responsible for thousands of people successfully completing hunter education, acquiring hunting licenses and enjoying countless hours outdoors," Casper said. "Mr. Kim Tavasso is truly a hall of famer."
In addition to serving as a hunter education instructor, Tavasso supports Youth Hunter Education Skills Tournament teams, National Wild Turkey Federation Jakes events and Youth Conservation Days for the Pitt County Wildlife Club. He established a hunter education committee for the regional wildlife club and became the club's liaison to the Wildlife Commission. He also serves as a guide at Camp Lejeune Wounded Warrior Hunts.
For more information on the Hunter Education Program in North Carolina, visit the Commission's website, www.ncwildlife.org, or call 919-707-0031. All first-time hunting license buyers must complete a Hunter Education Course successfully. The courses are offered free across the state year-round.

Plot twist: Missing wine at Portsmouth store was never missingBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
December 05. 2012 12:13PM
CONCORD - An Attorney General's Office investigation concludes there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in what was mistakenly reported as missing wine during a Portsmouth liquor store move last year.
The report notes no wine was ever missing or stolen during the move as earlier reported.
Earlier reports indicated about 300 cases of wine were unaccounted for in the move from the old location to the new one in the same shopping plaza on Islington Street.
'We conclude that no wine ever went missing from Store No. 6,' according to the report.
Instead a spreadsheet created during the move was mistaken for actual documentation of store inventory, according to the attorney general, and had no direct correlation to wine at the store.
Misunderstandings about the spreadsheet were reported to the Liquor Commission which led to additional misunderstandings, according to the report.
'A careful review of Liquor Commission inventory records dispels this misunderstanding and does not reveal any unaccounted-for wine ever present at the store in the first place,' according to the report's executive summary. 'Accordingly, there is no evidence that any criminal conduct occurred during the Store No. 6 move in early December of 2011."
The missing wine was one of several incidents including illegally hiring a lobbyist that caused the House to investigate the commission last summer and fall.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyProbably the most distinctive feature of the burrowing owl is the fact that, unlike most owls, this species routinely nests and lives underground (2) (5). Although fully capable of excavating its own burrow, the burrowing owl most commonly occupies the abandoned burrows of mammals (2). In the northern part of its range it commonly uses the burrows of prairie dogs, while in South America, as noted by the famous naturalist Charles Darwin, it inhabits burrows made by large, rabbit-like rodents called viscachas (6). Interestingly, burrowing owls purposefully deposit piles of mammal dung around the entrance of their burrows. This unusual behaviour has been shown to be a method of baiting, as the dung attracts numerous dung beetles, which the owl then feeds upon (7). Aside from invertebrates, the burrowing owl will also take small mammals, birds and reptiles, either pursing its prey on foot or diving down upon it from the air or a perch (2). Outside the breeding season, this species rests in its burrow during the day and mainly hunts at dusk, during the night, and at dawn. During breeding, however, burrowing owls may forage at any point during the day or night (2) (4). During the spring breeding season, burrowing owls form monogamous pairs, which maintain a small territory comprising the nesting burrow and the immediate surroundings. The female lays a clutch of up to 11 eggs, which are incubated for around one month, while the male brings food. In the initial period after hatching, the female remains with the young and is supported by the male, but as the young become more developed the female leaves the burrow and assists the male in foraging for food. After around 44 days the young leave the burrow and join the parent birds on hunting flights (2). While many burrowing owl breeding pairs remain resident around a burrow throughout the year, individuals from Canada and the northern USA are migratory. At the end of the breeding season, pairs in these regions split up and fly south to overwinter, before returning in the following spring and establishing a new breeding pair with a different partner (2).

Sometimes an ad is simply an ad. Yet, less than 24 hours after Dodge ran a two-minute commercial during the Super Bowl, race hustlers were already banging away, calling the ad lily-white, exclusionary and intentionally prejudiced.
Featuring photos of farmers, with narration from Paul Harvey, the advertisement was supposed be a tribute to American producers — and it was.
But the race police, never missing an opportunity to be offended, descended quickly. For example, Alexis Madrigal, a senior editor at The Atlantic, wrote the following: "The ad paints a portrait of the American agricultural workforce that is horribly skewed. In Dodge's world, almost every farmer is a white Caucasian … I decided to count the race and ethnicity of the people in Dodge's ad. Here's what I found: 15 white people, one black man, and two (maybe three?) Latinos."
Regardless of the precise demographic breakdown of U.S. farmers, at what point would all those directly or indirectly accusing Dodge of racism be satisfied? At what point would the Dodge advert be considered inclusive and acceptable?
• Five whites, four Latinos, three blacks, two women, and two Native Americans? Would that fly?
• Four mixed race men, three Latinos, two blacks, two whites, two gays, and two Jews? Would that pass muster?
Neither option would work; someone would still complain about exclusion.
Madrigal concludes his piece: "Obviously, a Dodge ad isn't on the level of the government's deportation programs or the long-time cognitive dissonance of American immigration policies. But it's the kind of cultural substrate in which our laws and prejudices grow."
The Dodge commercial "isn't on the level of the government's deportation programs?" What sort of a ridiculous concession is that?
Not surprisingly, Dodge is not the only company accused of Super Bowl bias. Volkswagen is getting hit with "Jamaican racism" charges and Arab-American groups are going after Coke, both controversies centered on racial bias.
The Dodge Super Bowl advertisement was quality because of the hard-working caliber of the American farmers it portrayed; not their color or sex. Sometimes an ad is simply an ad.

Tug pioneer, Downtown mom, restores ship
By John Arbucci
Downtown Express photo by John Arbucci
Pamela Hepburn, one of the first female tugboat captains, near her Pegasus, a 1907 vessel that is now on dry dock on Staten Island.
Some people dedicate their lives to rebuilding old cars. Others take up woodworking. Tribeca resident Pamela Hepburn is doing something different. Shes restoring a 97-year-old tugboat.
Hepburn, 57, who has lived on Murray Street for more than 25 years, is a licensed tugboat captain who works in and around New York Harbor. She started out as a deckhand, worked her way up to captain, and eventually bought her own boat, the Pegasus, in 1987. Since retiring the boat in 1995, Hepburn has struggled to find the resources to restore the Pegasus and save it from the scrap heap. She and the boat are something of a nautical odd couple: Hepburn is one of the first of her kind, and the Pegasus is one of the last of its.
Norman Brouwer, a maritime historian at the South Street Seaport Museum who has known Hepburn for over 20 years, said, There havent been too many tugboat captains who are women. Pamela was the first in this area.
Brouwer also said the Pegasus is an important link to the past. It is the classic design of a tugboat which is now disappearing.
Hepburn still has the New England accent she acquired growing up in Concord, Mass., where she learned to sail with her family. By the time she was a teen, she knew she wanted to work on the water.
Im boat crazy, she said. For years Ive been more comfortable on boats than on land.
When she looked for a job after graduating from college, however, she felt there were no opportunities for a woman on the water. Instead, she worked as a sign painter. Then, when she was 28, a friend found a job as a cook on a tugboat on the Erie Canal.
I said, Youve got to get me on that boat, Hepburn said.
Hepburn not only got on that boat, she worked on it as a deckhand for four years. Then she got a job as a deckhand on tugboats owned by Exxon.
It was a mixed experience. Because those tugs carried a relatively small crew of five, everyone had a measure of privacy. But the boats small size also meant that when someone was out to give Hepburn a rough time, it was difficult for her to avoid him.
Sometimes it was gender-driven stuff, Hepburn said. Other times, she said, it was simply one unhappy person trying to make everyone else on the boat equally unhappy.
Eventually, she returned to smaller towing companies, working her way up to captain. In 1987 she decided to go into business for herself.
Thats when she purchased the Pegasus for $25,000. The boat had been built by Standard Oil in 1907. Originally steam-powered, it was converted to diesel in 1954 and outfitted with a World War II surplus engine.
The boat was a wreck, said Hepburn. The plumbing and heating pipes had rusted out and the roof of the captains cabin needed replacing. Undeterred, she decided to move anyway and got to work.
I ended up living on it because I was kind of worried about it, Hepburn said. I was worried it would take on water, and about people vandalizing it.
Several months later, the Pegasus was ready to run, transporting railroad barges for the New York Cross Harbor Railroad. The barges ferried railroad cars between Brooklyn and New Jersey.
Hepburn continued to live on the boat when her daughter, Alice, was born in 1990.
When Alice was old enough to have her own room, Hepburn converted the engineers quarters, located in the back of the boat, for her bedroom. Its rear portholes looked out over the harbor and Downtown Manhattan. Even now, while the Pegasus is in dry dock in Staten Island and undergoing major repairs, that room still shows signs that a child lived there. Cutouts of animals, including a giraffe and an elephant, decorate the lintel above the original tongue-and-groove paneling.
As a preschooler, Alice often went out with the boat.
She was always looked after, Hepburn said. And there were very strict rules. The two most important rules were: dont sit on the rail, and keep two feet on the deck at all times.
Because Hepburn was still living on the boat when Alice became school age, she attended classes in Jersey City. Later, when they resettled in their apartment on Murray St., Alice attended P.S. 234 for 5th grade. She is now in middle school in Chelsea.
By 1995, Hepburn was forced to retire the Pegasus.
Nobody really wanted to run her because she was underpowered for the work we were doing, she said.
And the boat needed further repairs, some of them serious.
The wheelhouse wanted to fall off the boat, said Hepburn.
She earned a living by captaining other tugboats while trying to figure out what to do with the Pegasus.
I wanted to save a boat that had supported me, she said. She also said that the tug, with its gracefully curved lines, was too important to sell to a scrap yard. To her it is a survivor, an artifact of a time when men built metal ships by hand and boats of all kinds crowded New York harbor.
She gradually worked out a plan. In 2000 she had the boat placed on the National Register of Historic Places. She then set up the Tug Pegasus Preservation Project, a not-for-profit organization that now owns the boat. Chelsea Piers donated a docking space.
While casting about for something that the boat could do, she met Charles Ritchie, who heads a maritime adventure program for teens at the Police Athletic League. Ritchie, who works out of the P.A.L. headquarters on E. 12th St., had already set up youth programs with some of the ships at the South Street Seaport.
Pamela said she had a 100-year-old tugboat, and wanted to know if we wanted to work with her to restore it, said Ritchie.
They did. Hepburn also taught the teenagers how to do chart work, and keep watch in the engine room and on deck.
Even though the classroom was a boat, the lessons taught at Chelsea Piers were meant to be used everywhere.
We dont intend to make the kids sailors, Ritchie said. Were teaching them about working together well.
Last December, in order to keep the Pegasus working well, Hepburn had to take the boat out of the water. The steel hull, riveted together almost a hundred years ago, needed to be sandblasted, patched and painted. She also has plans to replace the wheelhouse windows and install a new railing on the second deck.
To help fund all these repairs, the Tug Pegasus Preservation Project received a matching grant worth $150,000 from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Hepburn has raised about $20,000. Much of her time these days is spent in her office, trying to raise the rest of the money.
Once the repairs are complete, the Pegasus will return to its home at Pier 62, at the end of W. 22nd St., in the berth provided by Chelsea Piers.
The Pegasus will have a job: working with teens through the Police Athletic League and educating people about the once-thriving port business that used to encircle all the boroughs of New York City.
And it will also have a captain who will be relieved to have the repairs and the fundraising behind her.
Its more fun to work on the water than it is behind a desk, she said.

Vì những lý do trên , vì cuộc đấu tranh đòi QUYỀN CON NGƯỜI cho cả Dân tộc Việt Nam và bảo vệ sự nghiêm minh của luật pháp quốc gia:
Tôi tha thiết kêu gọi và kính nhờ toàn thể các hãng thông tấn báo chí trong và ngoài nước hãy lên tiếng giúp tôi về vụ kiện này cũng như chuyển tải toàn bộ thông tin vụ việc đi khắp nơi. Đây không còn là việc đòi quyền lợi cho cá nhân tôi mà đây là thông điệp ĐÒI NHÂN QUYỀN CHO TOÀN THỂ NHÂN DÂN VIỆT NAM
Also, it's been 8 months since I officially filed the petition for the administrative lawsuit against the Decision 5225/QD/UBND (by Nguyen The Thao directing subordinates to sign on his behalf) in the People's Court of Hanoi.
And well over the recent 2 months I've had to hang out, eat and sleep like a tramp in Hanoi in order to apply in person and directly ask the Hanoi People's Court to have this administrative complaint process, but all of this authorities system is playing DUMB – DEAF – BLIND.
Meanwhile they're still crazily behaving in spite of the law to countless honest and innocent people. Evidence that they've arrested terrorist style with the whole family of the Lawyer Le Quoc Quan with the charge of "tax evasion".
They summoned bloggers JB Vinh continuously, including weekends.
They "expeditiously" enforced, destroyed the Catholic's St. Paul's Monastery while the clergies protested.
They constantly brought to trial and convicted, imprisoned INNOCENT people - Tomorrow 8-1-2013 an appeal hearing for 17 Catholic youth held in Vinh.
All these developments show obviously that: the current government is no longer by the name GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE.
They blatantly go against the just benefits of the People.
They blatantly trampled on the law and disregard for public opinion, public opinion in the People as well as in the World......
The case Nguyen The Thao, chairman of Hanoi signed on 5225/QD/UBND Decision
and had direction of my arrest and detention in a disguised prison of Thanh Ha is a powerful demonstration of the blatant disregard for the law extremely.
The struggle for justice and human rights is now no longer the works for my own personal or anyone but this is the "SIGNAL" to the struggle for human rights and legal justice for all of a nation- A Nation for many years immersed in the oppressive rule of a totalitarian legal background - autocratic. Please
"There is no justification for the Vietnamese authorities to pack off a peaceful protester to what is effectively a forced labour camp. Detaining Bui Thi Minh Hang without trial shows a disturbing disregard for her human rights and guarantees for freedom of expression contained in Vietnam's own constitution."
Phil Robertson, Deputy Asia Director of Human Rights Watch
There are also many articles and reviews of all strata and International public opinion on this issue, which ever shocked and outraged in the People at the time.
Myself and family have been suffering from a very severe consequences, difficult to overcome from a very illegal, immoral decision. Despite the consequences and disregard for the national law and ignored international opinion against all reactions and consequences.
I respectfully call all genuine Vietnamese people both at home and abroad to accompany me in the lawsuit and ask the court to grant full authority to process and settle the rules for Nguyen The Thao and the Hanoi People's Committee and the Decision 5225/QD/UBND.
I earnestly call and appreciate all the news media at home and abroad to speak up to help me on this case, as well as to convey all the information going around. This is not to claim benefits for me personally, but this is the message to CLAIM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL PEOPLE OF VIETNAM.
Personally I will never stop and determine to follow through with this case and whatever related that happened to me personally and my family from the consequences of this unjust wrong doing because this is the HONOUR and DESTINY.

Camping (or Glamping!) This Summer? 5 Camp Kitchens That'll Meet All Your Needs
The outdoors has much to recommend it — water, sky, woods, mountains! A break from technology and your noisy neighbor! — but it doesn't come equipped with a kitchen. No, you have to bring that yourself if you venture out into the wild and plan on doing your own food prep. You could totally rough it, of course, but if you'd like a little help with food storage, organization, and cleanup, then one of these five camp kitchens is a worthwhile purchase.
- 1 Cabela's Standard Camp Kitchen, $129.99 from Cabela's: A great value for the price, Cabela's standard camp kitchen fits a ton of stuff. It has three surface areas, a PVC sink with drain, side shelves for lots of food storage, and folds down into an easy carrying case.
- 2 Outdoorsman Camp Kitchen, $349 - $499 from My Camp Kitchen: A fancier option for those who like "glamping," this birch wood camp kitchen features three storage compartments, a slide-out shelf with magnetic knife rack, two drawers for spices, utensils and silverware, and cabinet doors that convert into countertop surfaces.
- 3 Grub Hub Camp Kitchen, $379 from Grub Hub: The Grub Hub is specially made for outdoorsy people on the move - mountain biking, fishing, rock climbing, etc. — who don't want to sacrifice anything in the way of their camp kitchen. It's built for super organization, and comes with a table space, a stove platform, a paper towel holder, a lantern tower, even a kitchen sink! And yet it's still easy to collapse and carry.
- 4 Field Kitchen K120P, $925 from Kanz Outdoor: Want a full-on stove while you're out in the wild? You can get the Field Kitchen outfitted with either a dual-fuel or propane stove. It also has a silverware drawer, and shelves and dividers for storing cookware.
- 5 GSI Outdoors Gourmet Camp Kitchen, $199.95 from Amazon: Can't stand not having a place to wash dishes? No worries here! This kitchen comes with a double sink and (foot) pressurized faucet.
Do you have a favorite camp kitchen you like to bring out in the wild?

Category: Finding Deductions
Interest You Paid - How do I enter Points NOT Reported on 1098?
If you did not receive a Form 1098 from the recipient (bank, mortgage lender, individual, etc) of the points that you paid, contact that recipient to determine if you will be receiving a 1098 for this. In most cases, home mortgage interest and points are reported to you on Form 1098, and you may need to wait to receive this form before completing your return.
If you determine that you will not be receiving a Form 1098 for the points you paid, you can generally find the points that you paid on your settlement statement. Points that you paid only to borrow money are generally deductible over the life of the loan, not all at once. Points paid for other purposes, such as for a lender's services, are not deductible. To determine the amount that you can deduct, please visit the link below to IRS Publication 936.
Refinancing: In addition, you may have paid points to refinance a mortgage. Similar to points that you paid only to borrow money, you must deduct refinance points over the life of the loan. You generally cannot deduct one lump sum for the points that you paid. To determine the amount that you can deduct, please visit the link below to IRS Publication 936.

The Two New 'Faces Of Grindr' Revealed!
Out of 780 submissions and more than 2500 votes, Matthew Stehlik and Eric Angelo have been named by the salivating public as the faces (and torsos) of the new Grindr.
Did Grindr voters get it right?? We'll allow you to give both winners a close inspection and to weigh in with your opinion.
Here's Orlando, Florida model and bartender Matthew Stehlik:
Then we've got go-go boy Eric Angelo, a Texas native who calls Hollywood home. Would you have guessed that he also collects old books and is a science fiction fan?? We wonder what he's reading now...
According to Grindr, the two gents will be brought to Los Angeles for a three night stay that includes some serious pampering, a new wardrobe from Kent Denim and Maor Luz, a Grindr photo shoot and a coming out party. They'll also both be featured in upcoming Grindr ads.
Did voters get it right, Instincters?

It's a hookup app, not a grad-level class in Queer Theory. And I doubt that having two white guys as spokesmen for a hookup app is going to destroy our society. Poverty and drugs are going to destroy society. If anything, the fact that you're complaining about the race of two Grindr models reeks of privilege; how many poor gays can't even afford smart phones because they're homeless, etc. Get a grip, get a life, and get over it.
Agree that they look too much alike, though. The Matthew kid isn't very good looking, his head is shaped like an egg and his body is shaped like a barrel (read: an ugly guy who hits up the gym a lot). Eric's by far the better looking dude; a classically good-looking guy who could be a legitimate model.
These 2 choices show just how racist, White, robotic, therefore void of individual thinking Grindr voters are. First of all, these 2 look practically related.
But you know what? This is one time I'm glad voters showed those aforementioned flaws. For anyone dependent upon Grindr (or any hook-up app or website) who feels the need to take the time to choose the face of it is a socially inept emotional cripple.
For we don't directly communicate with each other like we should as it is. So I actually THANK the voters for using their ignorance to put a clone White faces on continuing this void of communication that is destroying not just our community, but our society overall.
Bare & Read Our Bodies
Well said, LeNair. These revolting apps are driving the wedge deeper and deeper among gay men as our entire culture becomes entrenched in nothing but shallow sexual conquest. For many, their sexual behavior has become institutionalised and their emotional connection to anything meaningful rapidly diminished.
Speaking as a recovered sex-addict, perhaps its time to stop promoting that our lives are about nothing but sexual acquisition and look at the damage we are inflicting upon ourselves as a global community. This tedious, repetitive image of the materialistic, hedonistic, body fascist go-go boy lifestyle is nothing good to aspire to.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Jerry Horn, 540-220-0095
After 30 years of America's abortion debate, the voices of women who have experienced abortion's devastating effects are being heard more loudly and in greater numbers. On Wednesday, September 10 at 12 noon, some of these voices will be heard in front of the Supreme Court, as participants in the Silent No More Awareness Campaign conduct one of numerous similar events taking place this month across the country.
The Campaign, a joint project of NOEL* and Priests for Life, seeks to raise awareness about the harm abortion does to women and their families, and about the many healing programs available. Actress, model and author, Jennifer O'Neill is the national celebrity spokesperson for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. Ms. O'Neill will speak at the Supreme Court along with others who are no longer silent about their abortion. She joined the campaign because she was forced to have an abortion and understands the pain it brings.
According to Georgette Forney, who had an abortion at age 16, and is now National Director of NOEL, and co-founder of the Campaign, "Hearing woman after woman speak about the problems created by abortion really puts this issue in perspective. Despite the sadness of each woman's story we are also able to share the help we've found to deal with the pain, which gives those still hurting hope."
"We want to help women who are hurting from abortion find peace and healing. This campaign will let them know they're not alone," says Janet Morana, Associate Director of Priests for Life and Co-Founder of the Campaign.
More details are available at the website www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org.
*NOEL was renamed Anglicans for Life in March 2007

* Obama's candidate expected to win Senate backing
* Lew: Citigroup bonus was in line with others in industry
* Tax reform a focus; Lew shows appetite to tackle it
By Anna Yukhananov and Rachelle Younglai
WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Jack Lew, President Barack Obama's pick to be U.S. treasury secretary, on Wednesday defused heated questions from lawmakers about his work at Citigroup and managed to find common ground with critics over the need for tax reform.
At a hearing on his nomination, Republicans blasted Lew with questions about his investment in a fund linked to the Cayman Islands and his time at Citigroup, especially a $940,000 bonus he received just before the bank got a taxpayer-funded bailout.
Lew, sounding calm and confident, told the Senate Finance Committee that his compensation at Citigroup was in line with others who worked in the financial industry.
His background at the bank aside, the hearing underscored differences between Democrats and Republicans on how best to rein in U.S. budget deficits but also highlighted a common desire to reform the tax code. Lew struck a conciliatory stance, repeatedly saying he looked forward to working with Congress on a bipartisan basis.
He said revamping the tax code would be "at the very top" of his priorities.
The questioning was largely respectful and free of drama. Even the top Republican on the committee, Orrin Hatch, one of Lew's most persistent critics, had only nice things to say at the end of the 3-1/2-hour vetting.
"Frankly, I think you've done really well," he told Lew.
The smooth performance further cemented Lew's prospect of winning the Senate's needed backing. While most Republicans have withheld judgment, Democrats control the Senate 53-45.
During the hearing, Hatch zeroed in on Lew's work as an executive at Citigroup as a possible conflict of interest for a job that would have him overseeing financial markets.
Hatch said he was unclear about what Lew did as chief operating officer at two Citigroup units, one of which engaged in proprietary trading. As treasury chief, Lew would oversee rules that seek to prevent such trading.
"If you were to be confirmed, it could lead to an awkward situation in which ... you would effectively be saying to financial firms: Do as I say, not as I did," Hatch told Lew.
Lew said there were no conflicts of interest. While at Citigroup, he said he was mainly in charge of managing an operating budget and was not involved in investment decisions.
Lew was also grilled about a $56,000 investment he once had in a Citigroup venture capital fund registered in the Cayman Islands. Republican Senator Pat Roberts briefly displayed a blown-up picture of Ugland House, a Cayman Island office building where thousands of companies registered, including the fund in which Lew invested.
Obama has criticized the use of offshore tax havens and had singled out Ugland House in his first election campaign.
"There's a certain hypocrisy in what the president says about other taxpayers, and your appointment," Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said during the hearing.
Lew told the panel he did not initially know his investment was registered in the Cayman Islands. He said he did not receive any tax benefit from the investment, as he sold it at a loss.
"I think it's clear I recorded all income that I earned. I paid all taxes as appropriate," Lew said. "I very strongly believe that we should have tax policies that make it difficult if not impossible to shelter income from taxation."
The need to reform the tax system, which has not had an overhaul since 1986, was a central focus of the hearing, with much of the questioning centering on the corporate tax code.
Obama has proposed cutting the top corporate rate to 28 percent from 35 percent. Republicans want it dropped to 25 percent.
"As a general rule, if there were a lot of easy decisions on tax reform, it would have happened a long time ago," Lew said. "There are going to be hard choices."
A 57-year-old New Yorker who until recently was White House chief of staff, Lew is a budget wonk who has spent much of his career in public service in Washington.
Lew's lack of financial markets experience has worried some business executives. But during the hearing, the former budget chief was able to answer fairly detailed questions on credit derivatives and financial regulation.
The nominee also pledged fealty to the long-standing U.S. policy view that a strong dollar is in the nation's interest and repeated the administration's position that China's currency remains undervalued, signaling an intent to keep pressing Beijing to let market forces more freely determine its value.
"We work through the international bodies, the G7, the G20, to advance the view that it's not just the United States, but the organized nations of the world that insist on having currency policies which are market-determined," he said.
Lew lacks the international stature of his predecessor, Timothy Geithner, who had met regulators from around the world as president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and was a senior financial diplomat in a prior stint at the U.S. Treasury.
But Lew said he met plenty of foreign dignitaries while serving as a deputy secretary of state under Hillary Clinton, where his main responsibility was managing the State Department's resources. He also met with top leaders while at the White House as chief of staff, he told lawmakers.
Lew's real passion is for budgets. He worked as the White House budget chief twice, first under President Bill Clinton.
Analysts said the choice of Lew as the administration's top economic official signals the importance Obama places on ongoing battles in Washington over the government's budget.
Senator Max Baucus, the chair of the Finance Committee, said he expects to hold a vote on Lew's nomination after Congress returns from a week-long break in late February. Lew would then have to be confirmed by the full Senate.
That would come as the White House and Congress near a March 1 deadline to deal with $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that Lew said would impose "self-inflicted wounds" to the U.S. economic recovery.
At the end of the hearing, Baucus and others repeatedly questioned if Lew had sufficient gravitas to be the chief U.S. economic spokesman.
"On the things I believe, I've never withheld my judgment," Lew said. "But the thing I would say that's different about Treasury is it is a job that requires you to transcend politics ... I understand that."

The weekends on All Things Considered series Movies I've Seen A Million Times features filmmakers, actors, writers and directors talking about the movies that they never get tired of watching.
For writer-director Kasi Lemmons, whose credits include Eve's Bayou, The Caveman's Valentine and Talk to Me, the movie she could watch a million times is John Carney's musical Once. "I was so taken by the filmmaking," Lemmons says.
Interview Highlights
On why she loves Once
"I first saw it when it was in theaters and I was just so taken by the filmmaking, honestly. I just thought it was just so spectacularly made. But then I watched it with my sister and the funny thing about my sister and I is that we have completely different movie tastes, you know. Her favorite movie is Love Actually and mine is The Celebration, but we have a place of convergence in our taste. And one day we discussed the fact that we both loved this movie, we went and rented it and watched it seven times in 24 hours. We just put it on and just didn't stop watching it. It was such a sweet experience, we were singing the songs, and you know, pretty soon the kids were singing the songs, it was so much fun! It was our pajama-Once-party."
On why the movie holds a special meaning for her
"Every time that there's an opportunity, you know, or I run into the title, I have to watch it. I feel compelled to. And, I've got to say, it has a special wistfulness for me now because I lost my sister a year ago, she passed away, and so now when I watch it, it's filled with this — it's that wonderful relationship that you have, that you might not get to keep, but that allows you to go on and love again and keep living and gives you strength and power. So it's a really, really special film for me."
And this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz. All summer long, we've been asking people who work in film to talk about the movie that changed their life, including this one from the writer/director of "Eve's Bayou."
KASI LEMMONS: My name is Kasi Lemmons. I'm a writer and director. And my movie that I've seen 100 times at least is "Once." It's directed by John Carney. And it's starring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
GLEN HANSARD: (Singing) Scratching at the surface now, and I'm trying hard to work it out...
LEMMONS: Well, it has this wonderful opening where you just see this guy, and he's playing guitar on the street - he's a street musician - and he's singing his heart out.
HANSARD: (Singing) 'Cause this is what you've waited for, your chance to even up the score...
LEMMONS: And we realize that a girl is watching him. She's been watching him. And she gives him a dime. You know, it's really all she has. He's slightly insulted.
HANSARD: (as Guy) Thanks. Ten cents. Brilliant. Thanks.
MARKETA IRGLOVA: (as Girl) Excuse me?
HANSARD: Take.
LEMMONS: But she talks about how the song, it must mean something to him and, you know, who's this person that he's written this song about.
IRGLOVA: (as Girl) Who did you write this song for, please?
HANSARD: (as Guy) No one.
IRGLOVA: Where is she?
HANSARD: She's gone.
LEMMONS: The most important thing about his character is that his heart is broken. A woman's broken his heart, and this young girl comes into that turmoil, that void and, you know, starts to take up space. And he realizes that he cares about her.
HANSARD: (as Guy) (Singing) That one chance that we got when we missed every shot...
LEMMONS: I first saw it when it was in theaters, and I was so taken. I mean, I was so taken by the filmmaking, honestly. I mean, I just thought it was spectacularly made. But then, I watched it with my sister. And the funny thing about my sister and I is we have completely different movie tastes. You know, her favorite movie is "Love Actually," and mine is "The Celebration." But we have a place of convergence in our taste.
LEMMONS: And one day, we discussed the fact that we both love this movie. We went and rented it and watched it seven times in 24 hours. We just put it on and just didn't stop watching it. It was such a sweet experience. And we were singing the songs, and, you know, pretty soon, the kids are singing the songs. It was so much fun. And it was our pajama "Once" party.
GLEN HANSARD AND MARKETA IRGLOVA: (Singing) When your mind's made up, when your mind's made up.
LEMMONS: It has this beautiful scene where he's asked her to write some lyrics to a song, and she runs out of batteries. The battery is dying. She has to go to the store and get batteries. And, there's just, you know, this long shot of her walking out and playing the music with her lyric.
IRGLOVA: (as Girl) (Singing) Are you really here, or am I dreaming? I can't tell dreams from truth.
LEMMONS: Every time that there's an opportunity, you know, where I ran into the title, I have to watch it. I'm just - I feel compelled to. And I've got to say it has a special wistfulness, you know, for me now because I lost my sister a year ago. She passed away. And so now, when I watch it, it's filled with this - it's that wonderful relationship that you have that you might not get to keep but that allows you to go on and love again and keep living and gives you strength, you know, and power. So it's a really, really special film for me.
IRGLOVA: (Singing) Take this sinking boat and point...
RAZ: That's the writer/director Kasi Lemmons talking about the movie she can watch a million times, "Once." Lemmons is currently working on her next film, an adaptation of the Langston Hughes play "Black Nativity." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Financing Off-Campus Study
To determine whether a given program is affordable, students should make certain to consider out-of-pocket expenses as well as the invoiced program fees. A comprehensive cost estimate for any given program on the Denison accepted list is available from the educational partner.
To promote off-campus study, Denison does not require students to pay its tuition or room/board fees during their term off-campus (except in the case of the Justus-Liebig-Universitat exchange). Denison presently charges a nominal administrative fee of $270 for a summer program, $845 for a semester program, and $915 for an academic year program to cover the administrative support associated with off-campus study.
Denison students may pursue one semester of off-campus study with institutional aid eligibility. While Denison does not provide institutional merit-based aid for off-campus study, institutional need-based aid is available for eligible students. A student's eligibility is based on the estimated cost of participation for the proposed off-campus study program and the estimated family contribution from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal grants, state grants, and Federal loans are the initial sources for meeting financial need for eligible students.
If a student's need is not fully met by those funding sources, limited Denison grant funding is available to assist in meeting a portion of remaining need. OCS also awards a significant number of substantial grants, funded by the educational partners, for students who have unmet need after the Denison financial packaging process.
To be eligible to apply institutional need-based aid to an off-campus study program, students must complete their FAFSA by the late-March deadline advertised by the Denison Office of Financial Aid. It is important to note that there are generally well fewer financial aid resources for summer study, and also that institutional financial aid does not apply to summer study except for the Great Opportunity (GO) program.

Varlamov has 29 saves, O'Reilly and McGinn score and Avalanche beat Flyers, 2-1NHL.com @NHL
DENVER - Semyon Varlamov came up big when his teammates needed him most.
It wasn't easy against one of the hottest teams in the league.
Varlamov stopped 29 shots, Ryan O'Reilly and Jamie McGinn each had a goal and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Thursday night.
Steve Mason also had 29 saves and Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers, who had their four-game winning streak stopped.
Philadelphia won the first three on this six-game road trip, scoring four goals in each victory but was stymied by strong goaltending by Colorado.
"Sometimes you run into a hot goalie you can't do anything about," forward Scott Hartnell said.
The Flyers tried, generating several chances in the final minutes only to be denied. Varlamov had several good stops throughout the game, including one on Hartnell with 3:24 left.
It was the second time Varlamov made a big save on the big forward.
Mason came off for an extra skater with 1:29 left and Philadelphia had several chances but couldn't get the equalizer against Varlamov.
"It seems that's the story every night," McGinn said. "We let him do his thing and we've got to put enough in because we know he's going to give his best."
Although Varlamov started his career in the Eastern Conference, he only faced Philadelphia twice before Thursday. He played as if he knew them well, sliding side-to-side to make big saves.
Down 1-0, the Flyers had a great chance to tie it on a power play in the first. Steve Downie got behind the Avalanche defence and broke in alone on Varlamov, but the goalie made a pad save to preserve the lead.
Varlamov denied Hartnell on a chance early in the second, and then laid out to deny Downie again on a power play with 12:54 left in the middle period.
"Downie almost got me with the backhand," Varlamov said. "He has great skill. I was lucky on that one."
Two minutes later, O'Reilly made it 2-0 when his shot went off Mason and over his head into the net. It was his 14th of the season.
"It hit me on the top of the right pad, I just bent down and it went over," Mason said.
The Flyers broke through when Simmonds slid across the front of the crease and tipped in a shot from defenceman Andrej Meszaros with 6:12 left in the second. It was Simmonds' 13th goal of the season.
But that was all they could get against Varlamov. They had just three shots through the first 14:30 of the third before putting seven shots on net the rest of the way.
Each time, Varlamov was there to make the save.
"The first two shifts (of the third) they were in our zone but we weathered that storm and went after them," Hartnell said. "A lot of pucks on net, we were screening goals, peopled driving the net. You do that most games you get rewarded but tonight we got stoned."
Colorado took a 1-0 lead midway through the first when McGinn, trailing the play after a Philadelphia turnover, scored off Matt Duchene's rebound. It was McGinn's eighth of the season and second in as many games.
"They did a good job of driving the net," Colorado coach Patrick Roy said of Duchene and McGinn.
The Flyers played most of the game without forward Michael Raffl. Raffl suffered a concussion when he was checked into the boards by Gabriel Landeskog early in the second period.
"I didn't think it was a penalty," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "He's against the glass, he hit him, it's tough play. I didn't think it was a dirty hit at all."
NOTES: Landeskog extended his points streak to five games with his assist on O'Reilly's goal. ... Colorado has won six straight home games against the Flyers. ... Colorado D Ryan Wilson was a late scratch from the lineup. ... Philadelphia C Vincent Lecavalier needs eight goals to reach 400 for his career. ... Avalanche C Paul Stastny was selected to the U.S. Olympic team Wednesday.

Hazard mitigation describes actions taken to help reduce or eliminate long-term risks caused by hazards or disasters, such as flooding, earthquakes, wildfires, landslides, or dam failure.As the costs of disasters continue to rise, governments and citizens must find ways to reduce hazard risks to our communities. As communities plan for new development and improvements to existing infrastructure, mitigation can and should be an important component of the planning effort.
While mitigation activities can and should be taken before a disaster occurs, hazard mitigation is essential after a disaster.Oftentimes after disasters, repairs and reconstruction are completed in such a way as to simply restore damaged property to pre-disaster conditions. These efforts may get the community back to normal, but the replication of pre-disaster conditions may result in a repetitive cycle of damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. This recurrent reconstruction becomes more expensive as the years go by. Hazard mitigation breaks this repetitive cycle by taking a long-term view of rebuilding and recovering following disasters. The implementation of such hazard mitigation actions leads to building stronger, safer and smarter communities that are better able to reduce future injuries and future damage.
- Government, administrative, or regulatory actions that influence the way land and buildings are developed to reduce hazard losses. Includes planning and zoning, floodplain laws, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and stormwater management regulations.
- Modification of buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or removal of structures from a hazard area. Includes acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofit, storm shutters, and shatter-resistant glass.
- Actions to inform citizens and elected officials about hazards and ways to mitigate them. Includes outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and school-age and adult education.
- Actions that minimize hazard loss and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Includes sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and vegetation management, and wetland restoration and preservation.
- Actions that protect people and property during and immediately after a hazard event. Includes warning systems, emergency response services, and the protection of essential facilities.
- Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Includes dams, setback levees, floodwalls, retaining walls, and safe rooms.
During the planning process,the City of Los Angeles Steering Committee is actively engaging community members and stakeholders in the planning process as part of a whole community approach in hazard mitigation and disaster planning.
This hazard mitigation planning process has six steps:
: Organize Resources Build the Planning TeamRelevant studies, plans, and reports are collected along with communications resources that allow the public to be involved throughout the planning process. A planning team is assembled consisting of municipal representatives, and local and regional stakeholders.
: Develop the Plan's Risk Assessment
The risk assessment includes the identification of the location and geographic extent of natural and human-caused hazards that can affect the City. The hazard impacts and future probability of occurrence is also determined. Scientific and historical evidence of past events is collected and evaluated. All of these factors, along with the information on damage and losses sustained by the City, enables the hazards to be ranked from highest threat to lowest threat.
3 : Assess CapabilitiesLocal capabilities through emergency management, the National Flood Insurance Program, planning and regulatory authorities, administrative, technical, financial, and political capacities are assessed for the plan revision.
4 : Develop the Mitigation StrategyGoals, objectives, and past mitigation actions are evaluated and revised as needed by the planning team. The planning team will also define appropriate new mitigation techniques, and prioritize mitigation actions and projects in the revised mitigation strategy.
: Determine Plan Maintenance ProcessThe HMP is a living document that must be regularly reviewed, updated, and maintained. A schedule is prepared to include responsible departments involved with monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan during its five-year cycle. A process for integrating the updated Mitigation Strategy into existing plans and reports should be outlined and a plan for continued public outreach and participation must also be developed.
: Obtain Mitigation Plan Approval and Adoption
The draft plan is made available for public comment then submitted to the State of California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)and FEMA for review and approval. Once a Plan has been determined to meet all state and federal requirements and receives official approval it

In November 2010, Donovan McNabb signed a blockbuster contract extension. A six-time Pro Bowler with the Eagles, McNabb had been traded to Washington that spring. His new deal was completed just days before his 34th birthday, and the widely reported terms—five years, $78 million, with incentives that could push that compensation as high as $88 million—were at the time among the most lucrative for quarterbacks, the NFL's most expensive position. Fletcher Smith, McNabb's agent, seemed delighted by the prospects of the new deal. "Now," Smith said , "he doesn't have to focus or concentrate on what next year will bring." But there would be no next year. After the 2010 season ended, McNabb never collected another cent from that contract.
The true details tucked inside McNabb's deal would be revealed days later. It turned out that nothing beyond the current season was guaranteed, and Washington had a team option on the five remaining years of the pact. That never came into play; McNabb was traded to the Vikings on the eve of training camp the following summer, and was out of the league for good once Minnesota waived him that December. What was left of his Washington megadeal simply voided, as if it had never existed.
The particulars of McNabb's contract might have been unique, but the broader narrative—the gaudy, headline-grabbing numbers that turn out to be completely ephemeral—remains a common phenomenon in the modern NFL, where contracts are not fully guaranteed.
How can this be? MLB guarantees salaries completely. So does the NHL, minus the rare buyout. The overwhelming majority of NBA contracts are guaranteed. Of the four major U.S. sports, the NFL is an outlier. This is the case even though the NFL is expected to rake in an estimated $14 billion in revenue this year, a 75-percent increase just since 2010, and $4 billion than any other U.S.-based sports league. Yet only in the NFL are contracts not contractual, and even many of the so-called guarantees not guaranteed.
NFL players are far more likely to sustain injuries than those in MLB, the NBA, and the NHL. A recent paper from the Football Players Health Study at Harvard University, which is part of a long-term project funded by the NFLPA through money set aside in the current CBA, estimated that (emphasis mine) "the mean number of injuries suffered per game in the NFL is approximately 4.9 times higher than the sum of those other leagues." That same study, which its authors stress was done without any influence from the NFLPA, also found that an NFL player is 3.8 times more likely than an NHL player to sustain a concussion in a regular-season game—a figure that doesn't include data from practices, training camps, or the preseason and postseason. And the average length of an NFL career, according to the Wall Street Journal , is now less than three years. Given football's inherent violence, the immense physical toll it inflicts, and the ever-shrinking career spans of its participants, NFLers would seem to be the pro athletes most in need of guaranteed contracts.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A return to the road did not agree with the Blackhawks against the Wild on Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center.
The Hawks woke up from a sluggish opening 39 minutes to take a lead in the third period, but they couldn't hold on in a 4-3 loss that snapped a six-game road winning streak.
Wild defenseman Marco Scandella scored the winner with 1 minute, 48 seconds to play in the third period, sending a wrist shot past Hawks goalie Corey Crawford.
The Wild's Jonas Brodin had evened the score 3-3 in the third period on a power-play goal that went in off Hawks defenseman Johnny Oduya.
"We had an opportunity there, a couple of penalty kills off us, and that's the differential to me tonight," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "… It was a game we had right where we wanted it. We needed a kill, and we didn't get it done."
After the Hawks fell behind 2-0 in the second period, forward Jeremy Morin, fresh from Rockford, injected the first dose of energy into the Hawks' evening. Joakim Nordstrom, also a recent call-up, redirected a Patrick Kane shot and Morin knocked it in with 17 seconds to play in the second period.
Morin and Nordstrom were filling in because the Hawks were playing without centers Michal Handzus, who was ill, and Andrew Shaw, who was out with an upper-body injury suffered in the Hawks' 4-3 loss to the Stars on Tuesday.
Kane said before the game that the new players would have to step up their play.
"Certain guys are going to get a little bit more opportunity to play in certain situations, and we feel we have a lot of depth on our team," Kane said. "That has been one of the most positive things about our team for a long time, is the depth of our organization. Whether it's prospects coming up or guys getting more ice time, they're going to have to step up and fill in some roles."
Hawks forward Brandon Saad tied the game 2-2 just 43 seconds into the third period when he came up with a steal and sent in a shot from the right circle.
Marian Hossa gave the Hawks the lead from the left dot, rifling a shot to the top right corner past Wild goaltender Josh Harding midway through the third period on a Hawks power play.
Wild forward Matt Cooke scored from the slot just 4:23 into the game off assists from Torrey Mitchell and Erik Haula.
Zach Parise gave the Wild a 2-0 lead in the second period when he scored on a rebound on the power play.
"It seems like right now when we make mistakes at the end, it's costing us," Hossa said. "It was an up-and-down game. I feel like we made a little more mistakes than they did."
