Charles Bukowski Movies
Charles Bukowski
made a career of writing gritty short stories, poems, novels, and the occasional screenplay. His favorite subjects concerned life among the drunken, the destitute, the degraded, and the debauched. That he spent most of his life living that way himself only added an intriguing realism, albeit an often unpleasant one, to his work. Bukowski was born in Germany, the son of a German woman and a U.S. soldier stationed in Anderbach during the American occupation. When Bukowski was still a tot, the family moved to Los Angeles, CA, where he had a tough childhood. An alcoholic for the bulk of his life, Bukowski spent his young adult years wandering from job to job and living in assorted flop houses, until he landed a job working for the U.S. Post Office. He remained there for a decade and then began focusing on his writing. He started to write in the early '40s, and though he would later deny it, would publish steadily in obscure literary journals for the next four decades. After his poems were published in the Los Angeles Free Press in the mid-'50s, Bukowski began to gather a cult following. From there, he hit his most prolific period, producing more than 40 novels, countless poems, and short stories. He also dabbled occasionally in screenplays, the most famous of which is
(1987), a hard-hitting autobiographical account of a pair of emotionally involved alcoholics starring
Mickey Rourke
Faye Dunaway
. In 1989, Bukowski published Hollywood, a book about his screenwriting experience. Some of his other books have also been made into feature films, including
Tales of Ordinary Madness
, which is based on a similarly-titled 1973 book. From 1976 until the time of his death, Bukowski was married to Linda Lee Beighle. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Norwegian director Bent Hamer follows up his quirky and critically acclaimed Kitchen Stories with a heartbreakingly humorous look at the life of depressive writer Hank Chinaski -- the fictional counterpart of real-life author Charles Bukowski. Adapted from Bukowski's 1975 novel of the same name, Hamer's film follows the perpetually unemployed, alcohol-swilling Chinaski (Matt Dillon) as he drifts through the city streets in search of a job that won't come between him and his first love, writing. Consistently rejected by the only publishing house he respects but driven to continue by the knowledge that he could do better than the authors they continually publish, Chinaski soon begins sleeping with fellow barfly Jan (Lili Taylor), a kindred spirit he meets while drowning his sorrows at a local watering hole. When Hank eventually gets abandoned by the only woman with whom he is able to relate, a brief fling with gold-digging floozy Laura (Marisa Tomei) finds him once again falling into a morose state of perpetual drunkenness and unemployment. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Advertising writer John Dullaghan makes his feature-length directorial debut with the documentary Bukowski: Born Into This. The infamous poet, novelist, and screenwriter Charles Bukowski has made a legacy of writing about hard living in a unique prose style. His work paralleled his lifestyle, leading to the autobiographical novels Women, Hollywood, and Post Office. This documentary investigates his life through archival clips, interviews, and footage of the man himself. He appears at a public reading in San Francisco's City Lights Bookstore. Conversations with Bukowski's friends, including rock star Bono and actor Sean Penn, reveals some personal stories and experiences. Bukowski: Born Into This was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize in the documentary competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Lune Froide
Simon and Dede are best friends: two aimless drunks who spend their days getting sloshed and any other available time getting laid. Simon is living on unemployment benefits in a trailer parked near his sister's apartment. Dede works at a fish-packing plant on the night shift. Neither man is sensitive, young, or good looking. However, their sang-froid (literally, "cold blood," referring to a quality of imperturbability) stands them in good stead as they go about their seedy lives, picking up one woman and having sex with her on the beach, or when Simon calmly has sex with a prostitute in front of the woman's brother. In the past, a bizarre necrophiliac situation led to Simon experiencing his only sense of what it might be to truly love someone. This unedifying tale is based on stories by the American writer Charles Bukowski, whose melancholy works have provided endless inspiration for European filmmakers. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Crazy Love
If you like the title of this Belgian production, you'll love its source, a story by Charles Bukowski titled The Copulating Mermaid of Venice, Calif. Actually the film draws material from three different Bukowski stories to outline three crucial stages in a man's life. The hero begins as a 12-year old naif, "develops" into a miserable pimply adolescent who yearns for the girls who laugh in his face, and "matures" into an alcoholic, drug-addicted bum with a predilection for necrophilia. Amazingly, the material is handled with subtlety and sensitivity--the trick is to get through the film's first painful moments. The episodic nature of Love is a Dog From Hell is due to the fact that the film began as a 30-minute short subject, then was expanded into a feature when a distributor evinced interest. For its grindhouse playoffs, Love is a Dog From Hell was retitled Crazy Love. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Barfly to Queue
Charles Bukowski, the talented crown prince of self-abuse, wrote the short stories upon which the surprisingly entertaining Barfly was based. The film concentrates on alcoholic writer Mickey Rourke (the Bukowski alter ego) who carries on a hate-hate relationship with bartender Frank Stallone. Rourke makes the acquaintance of another of society's castaways, Faye Dunaway, who in addition to being a souse is said to be crazy. They move in together, even though Dunaway all but promises to be unfaithful for the price of a drink. Rourke has a chance to clean up his act when offered a large commission for his writings by publisher Alice Krige. They too end up in bed, each trying to change the other. The clarion call of the cheap wine bottle overrides Rourke's half-hearted efforts to enter the mainstream. Watch for author Charles Bukowski, as well as Fritz "Pop!" Feld and Vance Colvig (who's made a career out of playing street people) in Barfly bit parts. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Killers
Poet, novelist and screenwriter Charles Bukowski was famed for offering shockingly dark, nearly pornographic views of modern life. A disturbing independent film that has only been occasionally played at off-beat film festivals and paints a chilling portrait of how easily a slightly disinfranchized but still fairly average guy can be turned into a soulless killer. It all begins when a petty thief meets a former insurance agent in an all-night cafe and asks the agent to join him on a robbery in Beverly Hills. In need of thrills to fill the hollowness he feels inside, the agent agrees. Though he thinks the job will be easy, the agent is mistaken, for the homeowners are inside and have heard the prowlers in their house. The wife comes down the stairs, not realizing that the steps she takes will be her last. What follows are horrific scenes of violence, torture and ultimately cold-blooded murder. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Director Ron Mann has put together readings by 24 different poets (after filming a total of 60 writers reciting their works), and then has poet and author Charles Bukowski verbalize "everyman's" criticisms of poetry: it is boring, irrelevant, self-indulgent, and does not make much sense. Then he counterpoints these statements with dynamic, entertaining, and inspiring works by poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Leroi Jones, Anne Waldeman, Helen Adams and 20 others. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Tales of Ordinary Madness
Ben Gazzara delivers a gutsy, four-barreled performance as skid-row poet and storyteller Charles Bukowski (rechristened Charles Serking onscreen) in Tales of Ordinary Madness, blackly comic Italian director Marco Ferreri's adaptation of Bukowski's
roman à clef
Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness. Half soused, with a 2 a.m. shadow and street urchin rags, Serking waltzes through the scummiest neighborhoods of the City of Angels, indulging in booze, poetry, and copulation, and lounging in flophouses and on grimy public buses. His bedmates are a midget, a string of seedy whores, and various earthy L.A. denizens, played by Susan Tyrell, Ornella Muti, and others; he eventually falls for a prostitute who can express her affection only via self-mutilation. Ferreri lets Bukowski's ribald humor flow throughout and exposes the dark erotic currents at the heart of the author's narratives. Laced with perverse, shocking imagery, this unbridled celebration of life's dark underbelly has been praised by critics such as The New Yorker's Pauline Kael and Playboy's Bruce Williamson for its "genuine audacity and risktaking." ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Bukowski at Bellevue
Add Bukowski at Bellevue to Queue
Add Bukowski at Bellevue to top of Queue
In 1970, Charles Bukowski was a prolific poet and short story writer, but he had yet to gain a sizable following for his work outside of his hometown of Los Angeles, CA, and it would be several years before he would attain the underground literary celebrity he enjoyed in the 1980s and '90s. When Bellevue Community College in Bellevue, WA, invited Bukowski to perform a reading, it was only the fourth time the author had read his work in public; a two-man student camera crew was on hand to record the event using a primitive portable video system, and Bukowski at Bellevue is one of the few visual documents of Bukowski reading his rough-hewn, streetwise poetry for an audience. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Another Evolutionary Shift in Enterprise WiFi ManagementAndrew Froehlich, Network Engineer & IT Consultant | 12/6/2012 | 7 comments
WiFi in the enterprise has gone through two major shifts so far in its evolutionary lifespan, and it is about to go through a third -- a move to the cloud. When WiFi first started to take a foothold in enterprise networks, the goal for the business was to provide a way for people to connect in high-traffic areas without the need to have physical wires. The solution was to place WiFi access points in targeted areas, such as conference rooms, lunch areas, and meeting halls. The next shift occurred when desktops were abandoned in favor of laptops with built-in WiFi cards. Mobile workers became much more prevalent and demand for WiFi everywhere was the new norm. Companies trying to manage autonomous access points soon discovered that it can be a management nightmare to support hundreds, if not thousands of independent WiFi hotspots. Additionally, wireless coverage fine-tuning was really tricky because each access point had no knowledge of the other and had no built-in intelligence to communicate and fine-tune WiFi settings with neighboring access points. A controller-based wireless appliance put an end to all that trouble. Using a wireless controller, an IT manager had the power to centrally manage all aspects of their wireless access points from software updates to power/channel adjustments. The controller-based model continues to be the most popular management method in the enterprise today. But we may be on the cusp of yet another evolutionary shift in enterprise WiFi as network administrators weigh the pros and cons of moving controllers into the cloud. A company called Meraki got the ball rolling by offering customers a cloud-based management solution that makes it a snap to provision new WiFi access points and adds a host of bells and whistles in terms of wireless monitoring that network administrators and CIOs seem to love. And yes, this solution is fully PCI-compliant. Small and midsized companies quickly warmed up to the cloud-controller model because it was one less hardware appliance they had to maintain and it allowed for very robust WiFi networks to be deployed without the need for a highly-skilled wireless administrator. Now that Meraki was recently purchased by Cisco Systems, look for Cisco to start pushing cloud-controlled WiFi to larger companies and enterprises. According to a recent interview with Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of Cisco's Enterprise Wireless Networking Group: "Customers can get a switch, router, a WLAN, a controller, and just plug it into the Internet. That device 'phones home' to the Meraki cloud, and boom! It's there. It's very simple to deploy: We're talking minutes." But while cloud-based wireless controller management architecture does have significant ease-of-use benefits, there are definite trade-offs, including:
The future of enterprise WiFi management may be the cloud, but don't expect it any time soon. Network administrators in the enterprise value the amount of control they have over their networks, and they are likely to put up a fight to keep that control in-house as opposed to in the cloud. So for now, let cloud-based WiFi management mature a bit more before you decide to make the next evolutionary leap, but keep an eye on it.

Break The Ice
Does the blanket of glistening, soft-looking, new-fallen snow have you itching to get out in the elements? It's definitely working its charm on us—and it's safe to consider us the types who are perpetually cursing winter. We'd rather be inside if it's below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. But just for now, all the moisture is most welcome: If it's going to be winter, it might as well be pretty.
Though we're sure the fresh pow-pow is close to amazing, we'll be steering clear of crowded and expensive ski resorts and heading downtown instead. For a weekend activity, we suggest a night of dinner and dance … okay, not dance (that was yesterday), but skate.
First, try Italian-inspired Piastras (220 S. Main Street) for dinner—parking on 300 South is best—and then proceed to the Gallivan Center Ice Rink (239 S. Main Street), strap on your skates, and prepare to glide across the ice … preferably on your feet.
The rink is open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 7 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children, and an additional $3 for each pair of skates (or $3.50 for hockey skates, if your guy is too much man for the figure-skating type).
Hat, gloves and/or mittens, and a scarf are musts, but if you still have a hard time warming up, you can head to Starbucks (200 S. Main St.) for a hot drink.

City & State's Election Day Guide 2012
As voters cast their ballots across the state today, they'll decide the winners of a number of tossup congressional races and the fate of a handful or so of state Senate seats that will determine control of Albany's upper house. Here's a snapshot of some of the most closely watched races around New York — with a one-sided U.S. Senate race and a crowded New York City Council special election to boot.
Key Congressional Races
1st Congressional District
Rep. Tim Bishop (D, WFP) vs. Randy Altschuler (R, C, I)
The battle for the eastern end of Long Island was leaning toward Rep. Tim Bishop back in mid-September, when a Siena College poll showed the incumbent with a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger, Randy Altschuler. Bishop's 51 percent to 39 percent lead in that poll is far stronger than his 2010 showing against Altschuler, a businessman, when the race was decided only by several hundred votes. However, the race has likely narrowed in the weeks since then, and Republican polls have even showed Altschuler with the lead.
11th Congressional District
Rep. Michael Grimm (R, C) vs. Mark Murphy (D, WFP)
For all the legal questions swirling around Rep. Michael Grimm, including allegations of campaign finance fraud in 2010, the incumbent still has the support of a majority of the voters in his district, which includes all of Staten Island and part of Brooklyn. Mark Murphy, the Democratic challenger and the son of a congressman who left office amid ethics troubles of his own, has failed to capitalize on the steady stream of bad news for Grimm, trailing him by 18 points in a Nov. 1 Siena poll. Murphy, a former actor, also has failed to keep pace with fundraising, though his campaign is hoping for union support to close the gap.
18th Congressional District
Rep. Nan Hayworth (R, C) vs. Sean Patrick Maloney (D, WFP)
Nan Hayworth holds a seven-point lead in the lower Hudson Valley district, according to an Oct. 19 Siena College poll, with 49 percent of voters backing her compared to 42 percent for Sean Patrick Maloney, a former adviser to then-President Bill Clinton. While Maloney lags behind Hayworth, he's gained ground since September, when he was down by 13 points and didn't yet have the Working Families Party line. Hayworth, a retired ophthalmologist who was swept into office two years ago on a wave of Tea Party discontent, has since portrayed herself as a centrist. Maloney has tried to paint her as a hardcore conservative in the Democratic-leaning district.
19th Congressional District
Rep. Chris Gibson (R, C, I) vs. Julian Schreibman (D, WFP)
Rep. Chris Gibson has consistently held a lead in the polls over Julian Schreibman, an attorney and a former federal prosecutor, ranging from a 16-point lead in a Sept. 21 Siena poll to a narrow two-point lead in a poll conducted by the Democratic Party. An Oct. 30 Siena poll indicated a narrowing gap, with only a five-point lead for Gibson. Gibson, a first-term Republican who won in 2010 with close to 55 percent of the vote, has also held a sizeable fundraising advantage, though Schreibman has outraised Gibson in recent months.
23rd Congressional District
Rep. Tom Reed (R, C, I) vs. Nate Shinagawa (D, WFP)
Rep. Tom Reed is facing a challenge from Nate Shinagawa, the vice chairman of the Tompkins County Legislature. Reed won fairly comfortably two years ago with over 56 percent of the vote, but Shinagawa has been raising more money than Reed's last opponent and a Public Policy Polling poll showed Shinagawa only five points behind the incumbent.
24th Congressional District
Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R, C, I) vs. Dan Maffei (D, WFP)
The rematch between Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle and former congressman Dan Maffei is one of the closest races in the state, with a Nov. 3 Siena poll showing them even at 44 percent each. In 2010, Buerkle eked out a narrow win over Maffei, knocking him out of office with strong Tea Party support. Maffei is polling better in Syracuse, while Buerkle outperforms him outside of the city. A wild card in the race is Green Party candidate Ursula Rozum, who had the support of eight percent of voters in the latest Siena poll, while three percent remained undecided.
25th Congressional District
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D, WFP) vs. Maggie Brooks (R, C, I)
Maggie Brooks, the popular Monroe County executive, lost ground in what had appeared to be a narrowing race with Rep. Louise Slaughter. In an Oct. 14 Siena poll, Slaughter led 49 percent to 44 percent, down from a ten-point lead in an earlier poll. By early November, however, Brooks was again down by ten points. Brooks will have to again steal support in Rochester, Slaughter's stronghold, and rally supporters outside of the city.
27th Congressional District
Rep. Kathy Hochul (D, WFP) vs. Chris Collins (R, C)
Rep. Kathy Hochul, who was elected to Congress in a surprise special election victory last year, is fighting hard to hold onto her seat in a western New York district that has become more Republican thanks to redistricting. Her strong campaigning has made the race one of the most competitive in the state, with a Nov. 4 Siena poll showing her essentially in a tie with former Erie County Executive Chris Collins, with 47 percent support compared to 48 percent for Collins. Though a majority of voters in the district support Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for president, this congressional race has been neck and neck for weeks.
Key State Senate Races
District 15
Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D, WFP) vs. Eric Ulrich (R, C, I)
A handful of state Senate races could determine which party ends up controlling the chamber next year, and one of the closes ones had long been Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr.'s seat in Queens. New York City Councilman Eric Ulrich, a rising star in the Republican Party, has waged a strong campaign, and an Oct. 8 Siena poll showed the two candidates nearly even, with Addabbo at 45 percent and Ulrich 43 percent, despite a sizeable Democratic advantage in the district. But there were a number of undecided voters at the time of the poll, and it's unclear how much Gov. Andrew Cuomo's endorsement of Addabbo and the devastation of Hurricane Sandy to parts of the district where Ulrich was supposed to perform strongly could improve the incumbent's chances.
District 22
Sen. Martin Golden (R, C, I) vs. Andrew Gounardes (D, WFP)
State Sen. Marty Golden, who has served in the Senate since 2002, is facing a spirited challenge in his Brooklyn district from Andrew Gounardes, an attorney. Golden is often mentioned as a top target for Democrats, since he's one of only two Republican senators who represent New York City. But even after the uproar over an event Golden's office had planned to teach women "the feminine presence," Golden still has a strong fundraising lead and secured several key union endorsements, including 1199 SEIU.
District 37
Bob Cohen (R, C, I) vs. George Latimer (D, WFP)
One of a handful of races where Republicans have a shot at stealing a seat in the state Senate is in Westchester County, where Assemblyman George Latimer is squaring off against Bob Cohen, a businessman, for the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer. An Oct. 3 Siena poll showed a close race, with 44 percent of voters supporting Latimer and 41 percent for Cohen. Latimer's team has dredged up lawsuits filed against Cohen for being a slumlord, which Cohen's campaign has vigorously denied.
District 40
Sen. Greg Ball (R, C, I) vs. Justin Wagner (D, WFP, Green)
One of the strangest Senate races is between state Sen. Greg Ball and the challenger, Justin Wagner, a lawyer and Democratic district leader. The Hudson Valley race has featured name-calling (the Ball campaign refers to their opponent as "Wacky Wagner"), competing dance videos, and squabbles over which one is taking a stronger stand on hydrofracking. Wagner's fundraising totals in the Hudson Valley district – which includes parts of Dutchess, Putnam, and Westchester counties – haven't been as large as his opponent's, but they've picked up in the closing weeks of the campaign.
District 46
Cecilia Tkaczyk (D, WFP, Green) vs. George Amedore Jr. (R, C, I)
The new 46th Senate District was created during redistricting in what was widely seen as a controversial move by Republicans to help hold onto its majority – and it was also seen as tailor-made for businessman George Amedore to run in. While Amedore has a huge fundraising lead in the race – a 4-to-1 advantage a month before the election – Democrats have targeted the race as one they are serious about competing in. A Siena poll last week showed Amedore with a close, three-point lead, while Tkaczyk's backers have been urging Gov. Andrew Cuomo to endorse her.
Long Island
District 1: Sen. Ken LaValle (R, C, I) vs. Bridget Fleming (D, WFP)
District 4: Sen. Philip Boyle (R, C, I) vs. Ricardo Montano (D, WFP)
District 6: Sen. Kemp Hannon (R, C, I) vs. Ryan Cronin (D, WFP)
Democrats have long been hopeful that they can steal a seat or two in Long Island, given its changing demographics, and this year is no different. Republicans, who hold all of the state Senate seats in Suffolk and Nassau counties, won't be giving them up easily, but Democrats say that Ryan Cronin, a lawyer, may have a shot at upsetting the veteran Sen. Kemp Hannon in Nassau County, while Sen. Philip Boyle and Sen. Ken LaValle are also facing tough challenges in Suffolk County.
Same-sex marriage
District 41:
Stephen Saland (R, I) vs. Terry Gipson (D, WFP) vs. Neil DiCarlo (C)
Sen. Stephen Saland, who represents parts of Dutchess and Putnam counties, narrowly won his primary race after a historic vote for same-sex marriage last year. He now faces his primary challenger, Neil DiCarlo, who's still on the Conservative line, as well as Democrat Terry Gipson. Saland, one of four Republicans to vote for same-sex marriage, has been bolstered by campaign contributions from the gay community and also won the backing of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
District 55:
Ted O'Brien (D, WFP) vs. Sean Hanna (R, C, I)
Sen. James Alesi, one of the four GOP senators to support same-sex marriage, declined to run for re-election, though the reason likely had more to do with an ill-considered lawsuit he filed after trespassing on a constituent's property. The race between Ted O'Brien, a county legislator, and Assemblyman Sean Hanna has focused on other issues. A Nov. 2 Siena poll showed O'Brien with an 11-point lead, reversing a lead for Hanna in a poll a month before, due perhaps to a Democratic enrollment edge in the district.
District 43:
Kathy Marchione (R, C) vs. Robin Andrews (D) vs. Roy McDonald (I)
Another Republican senator who voted for same-sex marriage was Sen. Roy McDonald, a vote that played a role in his primary loss against Saratoga County Clerk Kathy Marchione. McDonald declined to run on the Independence Party line, despite an offer from Gov. Andrew Cuomo to endorse his campaign, though he is still on the ballot, which could play a factor in the race. In fact, a Siena poll showed Marchione with 40 percent support and McDonald with 29 percent. Democrat Robin Andrews, a lesbian who married her partner after the passage of same-sex marriage, had the support of 25 percent of voters in the poll.
District 60:
Charles Swanick (C), vs. Mark Grisanti (R, I) vs. Michael Amodeo (D) vs. Gregory Davis (WFP)
Republican Sen. Mark Grisanti of Buffalo voted for same-sex marriage, though his vote has made him less vulnerable so far than any of the other three GOP senators to vote for the legislation. Part of that is due to the candidacy of Charles Swanick, who was backed by key Democratic leaders, failed to secure the Democratic nomination, and then stayed in the race after Michael Amodeo won the Democratic line. An Oct. 8 Siena poll put Grisanti at 47 percent, Amodeo at 23 percent, Swanick at 17 percent, and a Green Party candidate at 6 percent in the Erie County district.
Other Key Races
U.S. Senate
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) vs. Wendy Long (R)
Gillibrand is cruising toward victory in her first run for a full six-year term, thanks to greater name recognition over the little-known Long, Democratic voters and a huge advantage in campaign cash. An Oct. 26 Siena College poll showed that 67 percent of voters – including most independents and even a third of Republican voters – support the Democratic incumbent, compared to 24 percent for Long. Long has raised under a million dollars while Gillibrand raked in more than $15 million. Long has tried to make up ground by attacking Gillibrand for her vote for the 2009 federal stimulus and by pushing for hydrofracking, but the tactics don't seem to be making a dent.
New York City Council Special Election
Andy King vs. Neville Mitchell vs. Pamela Johnson vs. Joseph Nwachukwu vs. Cheryl Simmons-Oliver vs. Garth Marchant
Six candidates in the 12th Council District are running in the non-partisan race to replace disgraced Councilman Larry Seabrook, who was convicted of a $1.5 million fraud in July and removed from office. Andy King, a community activist and former union organizer who earned the most votes against Seabrook in the 2009 Democratic primary, has raised the most of any of the candidates, including a number of union contributions.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story cited a Siena College poll for the 1st Congressional District and incorrectly said the poll was from October. In fact, it was from September.

Meir Panim's Tiberias Free Restaurant not only provides warm meals, but the opportunity to socialize as well.
We certainly agree with Vice President Joe Biden that the massacre last month in Newtown, Connecticut, that took the lives of twenty elementary school children "touched the heart of the American people so profoundly" that it "requires immediate, urgent action." And we would hope Congress and the president can avoid the partisan bickering that has caused so much gridlock in Washington and reach a solution to the problem of firearm violence in America.
Having said that, we are troubled by a growing sense that the president feels he should assume authority to act without Congress – despite Congress's clear prerogatives in the matter and constitutional provisions generally granting the right of Americans to own weapons.
Mr. Biden was appointed by President Obama to head a task force charged with the job of coming up with proposals for dealing with gun violence. Here is some of what the vice president recently had to say:
The public wants us to act…. There is nothing that has pricked the consciousness of the American people, there is nothing that has gone to the heart of the matter more, than the visual image people have of little 6-year-old kids riddled – not shot with a stray bullet – riddled with bullet holes in their classroom. And the pubic demands we speak to it….
The president is going to act…. There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet, but we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the Cabinet members….
I'm convinced we can affect the well-being of millions of Americans, and take thousands of people out of harm's way, if we act responsibly…. And as the president said, if our actions result in only saving one life, they are worth taking.
If this all seems reminiscent of the old utilitarian view about the ends justifying the means, it is. And we don't think the president or his vice president are talking about emergency situations requiring a temporary waiving of the rules.
Consider the observations of Senator Dick Durbin, a leading Democrat and powerful member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Durbin said he would prefer that a solution to gun violence come through the normal congressional process rather than by dint of the president issuing an executive order. Significantly, however, he added that he was leery of the power to block legislation wielded by the National Rifle Association and the gun industry, against whom many congressmen would not stand up. So he said he would support Mr. Obama if the president does issues executive orders to stem gun violence: "Whatever it takes to keep our streets and schools safe, I'll support."
In other words, it matters little if it can't be done in the prescribed way since almost anything goes if some of us think a particular action should be taken.
What heightens our concern is that this new development comes with a context. President Obama threatened to gut congressional procedures in order to enact Obamacare when it appeared he could not otherwise get it done. He acted directly in the face of congressional power when he summarily, by executive order, revised the enforcement of provisions of federal immigration law concerning the deportation of certain illegal aliens – even though Congress specifically declined to amend the law in that way. And after the Senate blocked action on his nomination of three federal officials, he appointed them anyway as "recess appointments" – after unilaterally redefining the meaning of the Senate being in recess.
We are as appalled by the spate of senseless violence as are President Obama and Vive President Biden. But if we are to deal with it in a way that is not corrosive of the system of government that has made our country the envy of the rest of the world, we need to be exceedingly careful when we throw longstanding rules and practices out the window.

If you don't see your comment after publishing it, refresh the page.
Actually the Executive Orders announced today were pretty weak, and certainly within the authority of the President.
Regarding the other issues, Obamacare was enacted within the rules of both Houses of Congress, with a ruling by the independent Senate Parliamentarian confirming that.
And the change to the rules regarding immigration status affects people who are actually eligible to be in the US legally: Almost adult, from anywhere in the world who does not have a criminal record can enlist in the United States Armed Forces, or enroll in a US institution of higher education. The change Obama made by executive order was to allow individuals already in the US to apply FROM the US rather than forcing them to return to their country of nationality. This is the kind of streamlined government that conservatives should applaud.

After nearly five years in office it should be clear that President Obama has always been a man on a mission to change America and the world. To be sure, we couldn't disagree more with his vision – and in this we think we speak for most Americans.
We find it noteworthy, if not surprising, that with all the well-documented systematic human rights abuses committed by governments around the world – including, but not limited to, China, Cuba, Egypt, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Zimbabwe – not one resolution condemning any of them is planned by the UN General Assembly.
There is no shortage of pundits who, in pointing out the negatives inherent in the deal the Obama administration struck with Iran over its pursuit of nuclear power, suggest the president and his secretary of state were hoodwinked by the Iranians.
Last week, at the urging of President Obama, the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, by a vote of 52-48, muscled through a change in Senate rules that will severely restrict the use of filibusters by the Republican minority.
It is no secret that The New York Times editorial page is ordinarily in the tank for President Obama or that, conversely, it rarely misses an opportunity to cast Israel in a negative light.
The controversy over President Obama's several public assurances that Obamacare would permit people to keep their insurance plans is a disturbing reminder of some very troubling things about this president that have come to light during the course of his presidency.

Benitez fears standards may slip
Published : 15 Sep 2009 16:43:00Rss feed
Rafael Benitez has expressed concern at the speed in which the Premier League have introduced a quota system for home-grown players. Benitez has had to contend with quotas in European football for several years, but now he fears for the overall quality of the English game. The new regulations mean there will have to be eight home-grown players in every 25-man league squad from next season. "Maybe it has been brought in too soon," said Benitez. "In the Champions League we had two or three years to increase the numbers of home-grown players. "The problem in England is that there is a big gap between the academies and the first team, the reserve league is not filling this gap. "It may now be difficult to maintain quality, but we will continue to do our best. The number of players is not the point, the quality is the point. "But if they have decided this maybe they have been thinking about this rule for a long time."

Bob Seger has delivered a series of extra display dates to the second one leg of his 2011 North American tour.
Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band who are recently on the second one leg of their excursion have added West Coast dates, kicking off with a December 21 show in Oakland, followed via a December 23 show in Phoenix, a December 28 show in Los Angeles, and wrapping up with a December 30 show in Las Vegas (which will likely be Seger's 50th concert of the year).
A December 15 show on the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City has also been added, marking Seger's first show in the town in nearly 25 years.
Bob Seger and the band gave fans a loose six-track bonus EP in September to mark the re-mastered liberate of his multi-platinum live performance albums Nine Tonight and Live Bullet.
In an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Seger just lately said, "I truthfully think this can be a higher excursion than the remaining one. I've challenged myself and took on some songs I did not think I may just sing anymore - like 'Feels Like a Number' and 'Shining Brightly' - and I've been in a position to do it. It' slightly rowdier."
And the fanatics are it appears getting their money's worth.
A assessment of a up to date Detroit show within the Daily Tribune raved, "Sweet 16, as Bob Seger sings in 'Rock and Roll Never Forgets,' has became sixty six - in advance this month, in fact. But the just about two-and-a-half hour live performance was a birthday celebration of agelessness, either one of Seger's track and the way it makes his enthusiasts feel after they pay attention it."
The set that night time included "Tryin' to Live My Life Without You," "The Fire Down Below," "Main Street," "Old Time Rock and Roll," "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser," "Her Strut," "We've Got Tonight" and "Horizontal Bop."

Kid Rock has made each and every attempt to help his beleaguered fatherland of Detroit rebound from a long time of monetary distress. But now D-Town's favourite son and authentic "American Badass" is expanding his scope with an upcoming club excursion for you to attempt to elevate a couple of greenbacks for different suffering U.S. cities.
The 10-city swing will hit intimate (at least for Rock) clubs in Maryland, New York, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Colorado and Missouri, starting on November sixteen with a show on the Fillmore Auditorium in Silver Spring, Maryland. According to a press unencumber pronouncing the tour, Rock "has assembled a workforce of Detroit titans to show support for different cities in need, and to show that Detroit, at the same time as experiencing [its] personal difficulties still has the ability to unite to help others across the country."
Working with this staff of Detroit trade leaders, Rock and corporate have pledged to donate cash to local charities, reasons and people throughout the Kid Rock Foundation at each stop. Radio stations within the native markets will lend a hand resolve worthy causes.
The tour used to be Rock's idea, timed to coincide with the discharge of his up to date single, "Care," a duet with Martina McBride and T.I. on Rock's Born Free album that urges Americans to prevent bickering and handle those in need of help.
"The track says 'the least that I can do is care' and I wish to placed my money where my mouth is. Everyone is aware of that Detroit is hurting," he said within the remark announcing the tour. "But I want to show that even if we don't have a lot on our personal plate, it does not imply the folk of my place of birth should not have compassion to percentage with others all over the country. At the end of the day we are all Detroit, we're one country, one family."
Considering that Kid Rock played to 12,000 or extra every night time on his summer time Born Free arena/amphitheater tour, the impending dates are a large shift in relation to capacity, but additionally an extraordinary probability to peer him up-close-and-personal in such mythical rooms as Nashville's 2,300-seat Ryman Auditorium; the 2,800-capacity Beacon Theatre in New York; and Boise, Idaho's 1,000-capacity Knitting Factory. Kid Rock Tickets for the excursion go on sale on Saturday.
Dates and venues for Kid Rock tour, consistent with a press release:
» Nov. 16 - Silver Spring, MD @ Fillmore » Nov. 19 - New York, NY @ Beacon Theatre » Nov. 20 - Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom » Nov. 22 - Indianapolis, IN @ Egyptian Room » Nov. 23 - Nashville, TN @ Ryman Theatre » Nov. 26 - Chicago, IL @ House of Blues » Nov. 29 - Kansas City, MO @ Midland Theatre » Dec. 1 - Denver, CO @ Fillmore Auditorium » Dec. 3 - Magna, UT @ The Great Saltair » Dec. 4 - Boise, ID @ Knitting Factory
Jonathan Millers freshly minted Bohme was a well timed operatic look in the social mirror. Almost two years on, and the hardships of his young Bohemians appear no less apt.
With economic cave in so with no trouble on the horizon, a lesser director might have succumbed and introduced up a "relevant" contemporary treatment. It is to Millers credit (and one within the eye to these critics who so automatically deplore his smugness) that he no longer only have shyed away from this dramatic lifeless end, however eschewed the self-conscious cleverness of Cos or Rigoletto, instead turning in an understated, unobtrusive, Nineteen Thirties Bohme that decorously whispers, slightly than screams, "classic".
Wearing its Depression-era lightly, Isabella Bywaters muted palette and {mobile} set lends a unprecedented cohesion to the operas 4 acts, so incessantly plunged from dusty penury to glaring technicolour for the Caf Momus episode of Act Two. Her buyers are festive, her children freshly scrubbed, however there is not one of the twee jollity that haunts John Copleys production up the road (and only a gesture of a snowfall). By the similar token her Bohemians, neither threadbare destitutes nor artistically saggy posturers, are simply scruffy and jointly short of a hairbrush.
Revolving neatly to expose Caf and Inn, the sets a couple of levels place its young artists in a first-floor garret, greatly helping the singers with the no longer inconsiderable factor of projecting over the enthusiastic orchestra. The higher storey did further carrier all over Act Threes charged disagreement among Mimi and Rodolfo. A lit window and gauzy curtain discovered the semi-clad figures of Marcello and Musetta, reconciling and preventing within the brazenly physical, explicit approach that their counterparts fail at such superb musical period to achieve.
With Broadway darling Alfie Boe returning to sing Rodolfo for only a handful of performances in January, the function is lately occupied by means of the tremendous Gwyn Hughes Jones. Matching a voice of crooning roundedness on the stave with all-out power above it, his Pinkerton woes have been cleaned inside moments. There was no trace of tightness or stress via a efficiency whose puppyish vulnerability was a stunning bonus on best of such vocal authority. "Che gelida manina" neither lingered nor indulged, however poured obviously out. Perhaps the true high aspect on the other hand was the Act Four duet "O Mimi, tu piu non torni", where, egged on by means of Roland Woods resonant baritone, he was finally ready to unlock his complete lyric force.
'This is a Bohme for those that hate Bohme'
La Boheme broadway musical tickets are now available for Denver for Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Detroit for Detroit Opera House, New York for Metropolitan Opera and London for London Coliseum.
Supported by means of Wood (whose Act Four fandango was so enthusiastic as to possibility the health of Bywaters sublime set) at the side of George von Bergens fantastically sung Schaunard, an inspired cockney flip from Simon Butteriss (Benoit) and a slightly woollier Colline from Pauls Putnins, the power among the friends was comfortable and believable. In-jokes, pranks and baguette-duelling added much to the appeal of the opening act, offsetting the operas lingering decline with delicate pathos.
Fresh from victory in closing years inaugural Voice of Black Opera Competition, and making her ENO debut, was Elizabeth Llewellyn as Mimi. A spinto soprano of unusually dark tone, her lined sound and vowels are not at their easiest towards the ringing brightness of Joness Rodolfo. Although undoubtedly possessed of both the facility and range for the role, her Mimi as yet continues to be one thing of a cipher, failing to articulate the arc among delicate coquette and maligned blameless that she must tread. Balanced for tone by means of Mairead Buickes forged Musetta, the vocal laurels for the night time have been undoubtedly with the men, and it was arduous to not lengthy for a return of 2009s Melody Moore and Hanan Alattar to compare them.
After a promising dervish of a get started from the pit, Stephen Lord and his musicians settled into a colourful, if infrequently lower than sprightly, rendition. Thwarted on a couple of instance by means of singers declining to linger, no doubt the tempo and tone of court cases will settle into cohesion because the run continues.
Neither chocolate field nor squalid bedsit, Millers production makes nuanced sense of what can so simply turn out to be an opera of number one colours. With a robust ensemble cast, poised orchestral enjoying and no mawkish excesses of sentiment, this can be a Bohme for those that hate Bohme. For folks who love it, its a treat. La Boheme Broadway Tickets are now on sale for Denver for Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Detroit for Detroit Opera House, New York for Metropolitan Opera and London for London Coliseum. Buy cheap La Boheme tickets for adding promo code " Time5 " at checkout to get 5% off your La Boheme tickets.

What does food mean to you? Since having children food has taken on a whole new meaning. Food means more to me now than ever.
Warmth, security, love, nutrition.
My children spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Mainly because it's where I am. I involve them as much as I can. I also try creative ideas so they can take the lead and the main responsibility for the food they make. I try to come up with ideas so they can work together.
We use food to tell people how much we love them and how much we appreciate their company. We were expecting guests. How about melon balls? Caspar and I did the melon balling then Caspar and Otis put in the cocktail picks. What a warm, loving and nutritious welcome.
It's Kids in the Kitchen week! This week all of my posts will be dedicated to children in the kitchen. Are you ready?

This time, Ritchie is playing far closer to the likes of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and while RocknRolla may see the director playing on safer ground than of late, it doesn't take long for the decision to be vindicated. The plot surrounds a real-estate job with millions at stake, and it gives ample excuse to unleash a collection of raw gangsters and tough guys into the mix, who each fancy a bit of the action.
Thus, RocknRolla brings together Gerard Butler's Scottish gangster, Tom Wilkinson's London crime lord, Toby Kebbell's drug-addicted musician and the likes of Thandie Newton, Mark Strong and Jeremy Piven too. And Ritchie's cast serve him really well, making ample mileage out of the lines they're given.
Granted, all of this is hardly fresh territory for the director, but RocknRolla is nonetheless funny, action-packed and a good British mob film to while away an evening with. Welcome back, Mr Ritchie… --Jon Foster

Post with 6 notes
And so the franchise really finds it feet…..I guess. Set before events of the first film, Paranormal Activity 2 attempts to provide further detail on the existence and motivation of the demon that led to the events of the first film. When a family move into a new home, they initially believe they have suffered a break-in. However, they quickly learn when occurrences do not add up that something more sinister is at play,
The first film allowed the audience to interact with its central conceit (the story shot entirely through CCTV or hand held camcorders), asking the viewer to use their imagination to get the most out of its set piece scares. Where this instalment falls down is that the conceit is made redundant immediately, as we know and expect the same set pieces and how they will unfold. It falls down greatly too. The narrative and its scares are almost identical in content, but more amusingly chronologically. Granted, when things do go west, things are handled competently. But the padding and cod-explanations of family history, blood lines, and the explanation of how the events of the first film came about is contrived and predictable.
The third instalment is due out later this year, with further focus on the family history and the origins of the demon. But after this, will audiences really care.

The most formal attire for a wedding is white tie and if you receive a wedding invitation in the mail that says white tie is required, you're pretty restricted as to what you should and should not wear. According to the guru of etiquette Emily Post men should wear a tailcoat, a formal white shirt, white vest and tie, white or gray gloves, and black opera pumps (shoes without laces). For female guests, a formal floor-length evening gown is the right choice.
A black tuxedo or evening jacket and matching trousers are standard for men at a black-tie event, but leave the white tie at home. Gentlemen should wear a black tie, black vest or cummerbund, and suspenders. During the summer, a white dinner jacket and black tuxedo trousers are also acceptable according to Emily Post. (Other experts will accept a conservative black suit as a substitute for the tux.)
For the women, there are two options. You can go a bit dressier and wear a formal floor length gown, or choose a short, dressy cocktail dress.
For a semiformal wedding, a dark suit with a white shirt and conservative tie is suitable for men. For the ladies, a cocktail dress or a long, dressy skirt with a top are suitable. If the invitation does not make note of a specific attire, these are the guidelines guests should follow, but try to help guests by being as specific as you can on the invitation or on your wedding website.
A casual wedding held outdoors or on the beach is much more laid-back, especially when it comes to attire. Male guests can't go wrong with a nice button-down shirt with tie and khaki pants, a sport jacket or sweater can also be worn. But according to Emily Post you may also be able to get away with khaki shorts or Bermudas and a polo shirt. For the ladies, a sundress is perfectly appropriate for any outdoor or casual wedding, just be mindful of the fabric. You don't want anything that looks too formal.

Actress and producer Elizabeth Banks has teamed up with Nestle Crunch and Girl Scouts of America to help promote their new, delicious, candy bars which supports the Girl Scouts by taking some of their greatest cookies and turned them into candy. Banks recently stole the scene when she played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games. The ever busy actress took a moment to talk to TheCelebrityCafe.com to discuss her role with Nestle, her upcoming films including Catching Fire, a film she tells us is what she is looking forward to most of all!
TheCelebrityCafe.com: Tell me about your work with Nestle Crunch and Girl Scout Candy Bars.
Elizabeth Banks: I was a Girl Scout growing up. I was a Brownie first and then a Girl Scout, and I think it's just an amazing organization. Girl Scouts of the USA has about 2.5 million girls with them at any given time and it's an amazing organization whereby you learn life skills, comradery, leadership and confidence. For me personally, I learned how to ride horses and learned needlepoint and I went to my first overnight camping trip. I competed for badges with my sister who was also a Girl Scout along with me, and we sold cookies of course, because that's what you do as a Girl Scout, and I just thought that the Nestle Crunch partnership with Girl Scouts was really cool and they spent two years developing Crunch bars with the three most popular Girl Scout cookie flavors…one of them of course happens to be one of my favorite flavors, Samoa. They made a caramel coconut cookie Crunch bar to reflect the Samoa cookie and they reinvented the cookies basically into these Nestle Crunch cookie candy bars - they're fantastic.
TCC: How will the candy bars benefit the Girl Scout foundation?
EB: Well, Nestle Crunch has a partnership with Girl Scouts and is also sponsoring the Girls World forum and they're huge supporters of the Girl Scouts basically. This will go back into the Girl Scouts programing.
TCC: How long will the candy bars be available for purchase?
EB: The candy bars are limited edition so they are very special and can only be purchased this summer. They are in limited supply, so when they're gone, they're gone. You have to get them now that they're out. Me personally, I'm going to get a bunch of them and stick them in the freezer so I can save them for later and dole them out to myself in little bites. I also like to crush them up and put them on top of ice cream.
TCC: You have a fantastic reoccurring role in 30 Rock. What can you tell me about Avery Jessop for this upcoming season?
EB: You know I have no idea what is going to happen next year on 30 Rock. I'm really happy that Avery Jessop is back and I loved our happy divorce at the end of last season in Maui. I don't know where this is going to go. I do think that, if I were to make a guess, I think that Jack is going to find a new love interest and I think Avery is not going to like it very much.
TCC: What is it like working on the set of such a hilarious show as 30 Rock?
EB: Everyone is such an amazing pro and I feel like I am getting to work with icons of American television.
TCC: The Hunger Games is one of the greatest books I have read in a long time and you had the privilege to play Effie Trinket, tell me what that was like.
EB: Well it was a great privilege, I'm glad you put it that way. I think Effie is an incredible character and one of my all-time favorites. She's so over-the-top and so fun, and I feel like she's very layered and has a lot going on under the surface. Some people reading the book just try to write her off as comic relief, but to me, Effie is so much more. And, Effie is the real representation of the Capitol in the books, and I think that is a lot of responsible for her to carry.
TCC: There is so much speculation out there as to who should play Finnick, so I am curious, in your opinion, if you were to pick any actor to play Finnick Odair, who would it be?
EB: I have no dog in that fight. I am going to trust the casting process, who I think has been fantastic so far. I personally believe the movie is perfectly cast, and I know that process is going to yield a perfect Finnick. I have a feeling there will be controversy surrounding whoever they name to be in the film, but I'm sitting on the sidelines just like all the other fans waiting to hear who it's going to be.
TCC: You are also set to star in Frank or Francis, what can you tell me about that?
EB: You know, it's from the mind of Charlie Kaufman so it's a crazy sort of satire on the intersection of Hollywood and the Internet. We haven't made it yet, and I am hoping to start making it soon.
TCC: Pitch Perfect comes out in October, what can you tell me about playing Gail in this film?
EB: The main role I play in Pitch Perfect is I produce the movie. My husband and my partner Max Handlemen and I found Pitch Perfect as a book proposal and it was written by Mickey Rapkin who wrote for GQ for a very long time and writes for Elle now. He came across the real life story of these very funny characters on college campuses who compete in a cappella competitions. That is sort of the heart and soul of Pitch Perfect.
For me, just getting that book proposal and turning it into a movie and then getting it onto the big screen. We have an amazing young cast, headed up by Anna Kendrick, who is Oscar nominated for Up In The Air and Rebel Wilson who is a true comedic find, Adam DeVine from Workaholics, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow – just such a great group of young people and that's what I am most proud of when it comes to Pitch Perfect.
TCC: Lastly, you are crazy busy, between your role in "30 Rock," several movies in the work and a full working website, is it fair to ask what else can fans look forward to seeing you in?
EB: Well you know, Pitch Perfect will be by fifth movie in 2012 so I think that's about as much as fans need to see from me this year [laughing]. I'm really excited to go back and do Catching Fire, that's what I'm most looking forward to in the fall.

Zipcar Seeks to Turn Profit in 2012
NEW YORK ( Trefis) -- Zipcar(ZIP) posted its second consecutive quarterly profit for the fourth quarter in 2011.
The car-sharing company's membership grew 25%, leading to 30% higher revenues in 2011 compared to the previous year. An improved mix of revenues and access to cheaper vehicle financing also resulted in better margins despite a net loss for the full year.
As margins continue to pick up, the company seems to be on its way to post its first annual profit this year. Zipcar serves 673,000 members with a fleet of over 9,000 vehicles in North America and Europe.
Aside from competing with traditional rental companies and car-sharing services like Connect by Hertz, Enterprise's WeCar, UHaul's UCarShare and City Car Share, it also faces competition from new low-cost, peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing services like RelayRides and GetAround.
See our complete analysis for Zipcar's stock here.
In 2011, Zipcar improved its revenue mix with fee revenue representing 14% of revenue compared to 12% in 2010. A rising contribution of fee revenue compared to usage revenue will help improve profit margin as fee revenue provides over 90% gross margin.
In the coming years, Zipcar aims to generate over 17% of its revenue through fees and the remainder through usage revenue. This may result from an increased number of members retaining Zipcar membership as a lifestyle option, similar to gym club memberships that are used less frequently by users but still contribute toward the annual membership fees.
Zipcar has significantly reduced its vehicle acquisition costs over the past year by shifting from leasing vehicles to purchasing vehicles through Asset Backed Securitization (ABS) facility that provides it access to low-cost vehicle financing. It recently doubled the ABS facility to $100 million to fund its domestic fleet expansion in 2012. Lower cost for vehicle financing will further help Zipcar's bottom-line.
Fleet costs currently constitute 66% of Zipcar's revenues compared to 71% in 2009. This reduction happened as Zipcar started phasing out vehicles under its operating lease in the U.S. and replaced them with vehicles purchased through the ABS facility. The number of vehicles under operating leases fell from 90% in 2009 to 50% in 2011.
However, Zipcar plans to enter two to three markets each year and continue with its expansion across Europe. This will result in higher capital expenditure and a slowdown in EBITDA margin growth. We currently estimate Zipcar's EBITDA margin will reach 23% by the end of 2018.
In 2012, Zipcar expects its top-line to grow by 20% to 22% to $290 million to $296 million and the adjusted EBITDA to grow from $11 million in 2011 to $15 million to $19 million in 2012. We expect the company to post its very first annual profit this year, even though it may see a loss in the first quarter of 2012.

Mortgage underwriter United Guaranty Corp, a subsidiary of AIG (NYSE:AIG), plans to launch a new product next month that will independently review and store loan paperwork for a fee. The product, CoverEdge, aims to prevent improper loans from being made in the first place. United Guaranty has also signed a pilot agreement with Real Estate Mortgage Network, (REMN), a national mortgage lender headquartered in River Edge, New Jersey, to incorporate CoverEdge into its operations. [1] AIG is one of the largest insurance companies in the U.S. along with MetLife (NYSE:MET), Hartford Financial (NYSE:HIG), and Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU).
See our complete analysis of AIG here
According to United Guaranty's CEO, one of the biggest issues that mortgage underwriters face is that it can be difficult to tell if a loan is improper or missing documentation until it is already delinquent.
During the housing bubble, many reviews carried out by banks and mortgage brokers while originating loans were careless, resulting in missing documents errors and even alleged fraud. As a result there has been an ongoing argument regarding who should be responsible for the losses. Banks such as Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) have had to repurchase more than $30 billion of mortgage-backed securities from investors who claimed that contracts were breached and portfolio quality was misrepresented. [2]
United Guaranty's CoverEdge aims to solve this problem by independently reviewing the loan documentation, with items such as credit scores and borrower income getting increased scrutiny. The company will also keep the documents on file in case issues do come up in the future. [2] Fannie Mae has approved the program and Freddie Mac is currently reviewing it. This could spark widespread use of the product, which could result in a substantial growth opportunity for AIG.
We have a $20 price estimate for AIG's stock, about 15% below the current market price.

So Tech taking your idea and using it for his face paint on tour dude you should be hella hyped right now!
Damn, Cody. Definitely jealous of the opportunity you've just been given, but well deserved. The image looks bad ass, and DEFINITELY looks like something Tech would appreciate (and does). Props on that, and look forward to seeing this face when Tech comes to Omaha.

in response to indep_in_tx:
I don't think people are against enhancing culture within the city, it's the cost of the "enhancement" that we're concerned about and the timing. And I'm not just talking about the actual physical cost (to taxpayers) but the cost of putting money towards eye candy (call it what it is, it will never generate NEAR the money that the city council believes it will) when there are more immediate and pressing needs.
Those other cultural icons you listed either pay for themselves (throughout the event) or are offset/sponsored by other means. None of those events cost the city with little to know return other than "pretty lights" and possibly corresponding music. All for... "wow".
Please tell me, if you have the figure in mind, exactly how much you think this fountain will bring into the city. You can be as wild and circumspect as you wish. How many people will "rent" it for a party? At how much per party? How many people will rush down to the river just to look at it, then end up spending how much money in local businesses while they are down there?
You asked "Should we just give up promoting the culture of San Angelo that makes bigger city tourist want to take notice and visit us?"
My response is: Do you really believe that a 1/2 million dollar fountain is the bow on the package that is San Angelo? That the lighted fountain will be just the straw that makes someone from Dallas or Austin or wherever go, "well, that cinches it. San Angelo has a lighted fountain... let's go there for the summer!"?
I don't believe anyone is shooting down the notion of promoting culture... from every post I've read, we are shooting down what would be an irresponsible act of spending that kind of money with little-to-no return, in a financial period of time in the city when the money can be better spent for much more necessary and required things.
I'd turn that around and ask you similarly: "If you love the idea of a fountain, that's okay, but don't ask the taxpayers to fund it and promote culture in the town over the basic needs of the majority of it's citizenry."
I don't agree with a half million dollar fountain. I was hoping to hear of alternative ideas for a fountain maybe not top of line more along the lines economical. I feel that if more options were presented for a fountain some or more people would be open to the idea. Similarly funding should contain some alternatives. Doesn't a fountain fall under some sort of artistic grant?
And no a fountain alone will not do that. However a fountain with a well organzied cultiral district will draw people much like the painted sheep have. Can you believe that several painted sheep could draw national tourist? I didn't beleive until someone came to me asking for assitance for a tour. Its amazing and a good example of thinking ourside the box for funding.
Basically allocating city money for cultural monuments or icons is an investment. An investment that need to be weighed against other needs. Austin is a good example although much larger. As long as discussion such as these can keep the wheels moving I think San Angelo will end up in a position such as the one we are now compared to 10 years ago. Agree?
