text: Home Politics Does the NAACP Have a Leadership Problem? Its handling of Shirley Sherrod and the Tea Party has led some in the media to question whether its young president, Benjamin Jealous, is up to the job. But is the criticism fair? By: Lynette Holloway Posted: Aug. 2 2010 7:13 AM 0 Getty Images Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and chief executive officer of the NAACP, strode into the media spotlight last month when he called on the Tea Party to "repudiate the racist element and activities within'' its ranks. He immediately became the focus of attacks from the right and emerged as a visible advocate for racial justice, following the announcement at the organization's convention in Kansas City, Mo. The time was ripe. For about two years, Jealous, 37, has been working to earn his stripes as leader of the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Among his favorite causes has been working with other groups to repeal mandatory sentencing guidelines for first-time offenders for possession of crack cocaine, which disproportionately affects African Americans. This week the effort received a victory when Congress approved a measure to reduce sentencing disparities for possession of powder and crack cocaine. He has also focused on defending blacks from racially charged attacks in the public sphere, most recently from elements of the Tea Party. But in July he stepped on the third rail. Without gathering all the facts, he spoke out against USDA employee Shirley Sherrod, based on a deceptively edited video of one of her speeches at an NAACP event. Released by a right-wing blogger, the video appeared to show Sherrod making biased remarks about her dealings with a white farmer, leading to her forced resignation by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. Jealous retracted the NAACP's denouncement when he learned of a more complete video showing that Sherrod's story was one of racial reconciliation. Still, the misstep rankled some in the African-American community and blogosphere because the NAACP is supposed to be a defender of blacks and women, not the opposite -- especially in today's tense racial climate. Among those upset by it were George Curry, the former editor-in-chief of Emerge magazine who previously worked with Jealous at the National Newspaper Publishers Association. Curry wrote in a column for Black Voice News that Jealous essentially served as a "drum major'' in the attacks against Sherrod before doing enough research. "The NAACP was duped by Fox News and the Tea Party?'' Curry wrote. "That's a sad commentary on the NAACP and the state of black leadership. How could the nation's oldest civil rights organization allow itself to be 'snookered' by its avowed enemies? And if the president of the NAACP is that gullible, what else [has] he been snookered on?'' Writer Amy Alexander, who worked for the NAACP briefly in 2009, also wrote a scathing blog post that received widespread attention. She attacked the young president's leadership abilities and complained of dysfunction within the organization, including the communications team for which she had worked. Is there a fire behind the gathering smoke? Thurston added that Jealous' leadership could benefit from building closer relationships with NAACP units in various cities and states. "They are the arms and legs of the NAACP, and they do not have this relationship with the local chapters,'' Thurston said, based on conversations he has had with some unit heads. "Again, it gets back to communications, which is not tight enough between local and national chapters. '' Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

"This was one fine young man and everyone will tell you that," said a man as he walked into Elam's visitation.
An estimated 400 people filed a Latter-day Saint chapel to learn about the man who died in a coal mining accident.
Elam's family was visibly thankful for the outpouring of love and support.
"I know I'm not on the program, but wow! Thank you," said Elam's grand father Robert Potts after offering a family prayer at the funeral. He looked into the audience and continued, "You don't know how much this mean to us."
One by one, friends and family walked to the pulpit to share information and stories about Elam.
"He couldn't stop talking about his boys," said Jesse Jones
Elam leaves behind two young son's Kelsen and Dacyn Jones. A picture on the funeral program shows the two boys wrapped in Elam's arms.
"Elam loved doing things with his family," said his mother Julie Jones.
He would take the boys outdoors with his father Derk. He enjoyed riding four-wheelers and to snow mobiles.
"He loved the smell of two stroke oil," said Jesse.
Elam was a kind hearted man who would try to help others. Jeanne Ward says he took a man and his two sons into his home about four years ago. It was not uncommon to see Elam reach out to help others.
One friend recalls a time when Elam dropped his plans to take him hunting because, the friend said, he didn't want to hunt alone. The friend tried to turn the offer down to respect to Elam's time, but Elam insisted on helping his friend.
"Elam was at peace when he watched someone doing something they loved. He liked to watch people having a good time," said Jesse.
This kind of friendly treatment was standard for Elam. He welcomed and loved all people. "He considered everyone to be his family," said Jesse.
Elam's greatest source of happiness was his wife Jaqlynn Tolley Jones.
"She made him happier than I'd ever seen him and that's saying something," said Ron Hale.
Elam was known to be in good spirits. Friends say he was happy because he lived life to the fullest, but this sometimes got him into trouble.
One day, he crashed his four-wheeler into a barbed wire fence. The cuts to his body required 72 stitches. He told his family a wild animal attacked him. They believed the story for about six months, everyone seemed to laugh at the funeral as this story was shared.
"Elan was always having fun and had a smile on his face, Hale said.
Elam's mother Julie Jones said her son survived two avalanches. She said he thought about the close calls and said, I won't die early from an avalanche. He said if he ever dies early, it would be in the mine.
"I truly believe he knew life was going to be short. He lived everyday as if it was his last," said Julie.
Friends say he made the most of everyday. He worked hard in the coal mines and he would also play hard. He loved the outdoors.
"He was the life of the party," said Brady Larsen.

I wish I could be that optimistic. Until a graceful way out is figured the trend will be towards greater marginalization and frustration.
As much as I like Rachel Maddow. MSNBC is also part of one of these corporations and when they start hitting too close to something that hurts they'll become very establisment, too.
I find that the situation with the Occupy movement becoming more and more marginalized here in the US is putting off the days of reckoning, and making worse the inevitable.
The "rich" have won for now, but what may happen in the coming years is that those who have tried to speak up will feel increasingly disenfranchised. When appropriate behaviors have not worked, perhaps other types will. Our leaders have forgotten all of the lessons of the ecology / civil rights protests of the 1960's.
When the disenfranchised lose hope the results are not pretty.

The Legacy of Hiroshima |
This book examines the disastrous impact of nuclear weapons from a dual perspective: their enormous destructive power and their medical, psychological, and human costs. The author, a nuclear physicist, recapitulates the August 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, documenting his account with testimony from survivors and numerous tables revealing the stark statistics of the human tragedy. After reviewing the development of nuclear arms and considering the probable effects of nuclear war using today's more powerful weapons, the author concludes with a heartfelt appeal that we learn from Hiroshima by banning nuclear arms. "An admirable and essential presentation of the facts and realities of past and future atomic warfare." --Asahi Evening News NAOMI SHOHNO, D.Sc., is a professor at Hiroshima Jogakuin College and the author of several books on the effects of nuclear weapons. |

text: Home Politics Health Care Ruling: Not a Liberal Victory Will the decision be used in a way that could spell trouble for civil rights legislation? By: Kenneth W. Mack Posted: July 7 2012 12:53 AM 0 Alex Wong/Getty Images (The Root) -- Now that the dust has settled on the Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the bulk of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it is perhaps time to examine the decision from the perspective of a traditional civil rights advocate -- a person who favors strong federal protection for the rights of vulnerable minorities and who favors certain state-level and private policies, such as affirmative action, designed to ensure inclusion of racial minorities in many aspects of American life. Of course, many now contend that traditional civil rights approaches are outmoded, but for those who keep faith with the tradition, the decision may spell trouble. Commentary on the court's decision has often praised Chief Justice John Roberts for his judicial statesmanship -- as evidenced by his decision to join with the court's four liberal justices in upholding the Affordable Care Act's core provisions as a tax -- while condemning Roberts for his activism, as evidenced by his decision to join with his fellow conservatives in holding that the core of the ACA could not be sustained under the Commerce Clause. Both aspects of Roberts' key role in the decision, it turns out, should be of serious concern for many civil rights advocates. Roberts and his fellow conservatives' Commerce Clause ruling should be of serious concern not for its specific reasoning -- that it's unconstitutional for Congress to regulate "inactivity" (the decision not to buy health insurance) rather than activity -- but for the justices' determination to limit federal legislative power. The chief justice began his opinion by emphasizing that the federal government possesses only limited powers, specifically enumerated in the Constitution, with much governing authority lodged in the states rather than the national government. As a general proposition, this is uncontroversial, but his four conservative colleagues were far more explicit in their joint dissent, in which they concluded that the entire ACA should be invalidated. Beginning with a citation of the rarely invoked 10th Amendment, they emphasized the "structural limits on federal power." The four justices noted, with evident disapproval, that "we now have sizable federal Departments devoted to subjects not mentioned among Congress' enumerated powers, and only marginally related to commerce," suggesting that many major pieces of federal legislation enacted over the past 50 years are of questionable constitutionality. (For Justice Clarence Thomas, this is more than a suggestion, because he has explicitly repudiated [pdf] more than 70 years of Supreme Court decisions that justified the expansion of federal authority.) Coupled with the chief justice's decision to revise what many thought were well-settled Commerce Clause precedents, the dissent suggests that the court's five conservative members are using an apparent liberal victory to lay the groundwork for further rulings that could narrow the scope of federal legislative power. Their rationale seems to be that limiting federal power in favor of localism helps preserve "the liberties that derive from the diffusion of sovereign power," as Roberts phrased it, quoting a well-known court ruling from the 1990s. Major portions of the Civil Rights Act pushed up against what then seemed to be the outer limits of federal power to legislate under the Commerce Clause, and regulated matters traditionally left to the states. The same is true of many other federal statutes that protect the rights of minority groups. Such statutes might have once been thought to be beyond Congress' power. By the 1960s, however, the court's Commerce Clause jurisprudence had evolved to the point where what might once have been unconstitutional became merely controversial, and now is often accepted without question. Today we take it for granted, for instance, that Congress can pass a statute prohibiting landlords from discriminating against tenants based on race, religion and many other categories. These are precisely the kinds of innovative extensions of Congress' interstate-commerce power that at least four justices suggested were of questionable validity in the ACA opinions. To be sure, Roberts was careful in his opinion to cite, with approval, the court's nearly 50-year-old decisions that upheld the constitutionality of the 1964 law. But it does not stretch the imagination to envision five members of the court ruling -- in the not-too-distant future -- that a further extension of federal civil rights protections is invalid as an exercise of Commerce Clause power. Of more immediate concern is the aspect of Roberts' opinion that has been celebrated: his judicial craft. The chief justice avoided a ruling that would have placed the Supreme Court at the center of a political firestorm in an election year. If the ruling had been different, it would have handed President Obama's re-election campaign a potent issue with which to rally its core supporters. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

looseness of the lows, and the tone knob resembles a typical presence control, delivering brighter, sharper sounds the more you crank it clockwise. Watts enables you to drop the Ironheart down to less that a single watt, which is great for players looking to get natural, biting power-amp overdrive without having to endure face-ripping volume levels. The amp's built-in digital reverb offers one knob that adds more or less of the effect.
The Ironheart's back panel is pretty sparse. There's a serial effects loop with a switch to either bypass it, or set it at 0 dB or - 10 dB level. The amp can also be easily converted to EL34s by replacing the output tube complement and flipping the bias switch on the back panel. Channel switching, activation of reverb and pre-boost, and alternating between the clean and rhythm modes on channel 1 are all controlled via a 4-button footswitch that connects to a 5-pin DIN jack. And if you forget the footswitch at home, there are also two 1/4" jacks for connecting conventional switches that cover everything the supplied one does.
Laney offers both 2x12 and 4x12 cabs to handle the Ironheart's output. Both the IRT212 and IRT412—which is used for
this review—are loaded with custom Laney 12" speakers, each rated to 80 watts. At only a little over 65 pounds, the IRT412 is surprisingly light. That might seem like a hefty weight to those who regularly gig with small combos, but in the world of stacks, it almost ranks as a featherweight.
Deaf Forever to the Battle's Din On one hand, the Ironheart is designed to deliver molten metal tones, and boy, does it deliver on that count. While its second channel roars and bellows like a smoldering beast, the real surprise here is the amp's excellent clean channel, which delivers a wide range of crystal-clear tones with a hi-fi edge.
With the tone controls set flat and the reverb up about halfway, open chords I played on a Telecaster sounded full and lush, with an extremely tight low end. The bass and treble controls both have huge ranges in clean mode, and you can significantly reshape your sound using just these two controls. My attempts to loosen up the lows by adjusting the dynamics and the mid knobs had only a nominal effect. But each of the control's push-pull features had a pronounced effect on the signal. You can get a lot more pop and cut by pulling out the treble knob, and that's sweet for twangy country riffs. The clean channel is also responsive to picking dynamics, and

Camry or Accord?
Back in the early 90′s, most non-enthusiasts with who admired certain small cars as long-term transportation modules would wind up at a Toyota or Honda dealer. Civic, Corolla, Camry, Accord. The majority of these blase buyers would price out their Toyonda car with nary a fleeting glance toward the Nissan side of the world.
Those early-90′s Sentras may have eventually yielded a bulletproof powertrain for the developing world and a wonderful SE-R model as well. But nobody cared back then. The Stanza? Still stuck in the 80′s school of design with a 90′s price tag.
Nissan was the least loved child of the Japanese Big 3 among those who least loved cars in general. But then the market slowly changed.

DOT plans to amend definition of 'tank vehicle'
resize text | Tweet |
Tank vehicle means any commercial motor vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous materials within a tank having an individual rated capacity of more than 1,000 gallons that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis; or tanks having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that are permanently attached to the vehicle or the chassis. A commercial motor vehicle transporting portable tanks that are manifested as either empty or as residue on a bill of lading or transporting an empty storage container tank, not designed for transportation, with a rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is temporarily attached to a flatbed trailer are not considered to be tank vehicles.

The sto-n-go is excellent and we leave the seats down and sort of use it as an enclosed pickup.

"This review is for 2014 T&C Limited with Luxury package: It's excellent all around. It has all the gadgets I want from safety to connections to entertainment to comfort and convenience... With the right rebates and promotion, this minivan is $6000+ cheaper than the similar equipped Japanese alternatives, at least in my purchase. The handling of the this car is the best part of all. I did not feel the same level of road and vehicle connection when I was driving the Japanese models. The 2014 T&C's steering wheel, pedals, cabinet and the seat successfully connect me to the road and vehicle. The steering wheel is appropriately powered to keep the control precise and confident, unlike the Japanese models I tested which I think it's overdone ("over-powered"), thus one might feel it's too light and "loose". T&C Front row is the most comfortable among the three brands I tested although Toyota gave me any impression that it has a more spacious front row. Also The 2014 T&C has the most quiet cabinet to me. The engine is very powerful although the transmission should have more responsive upshift from the lower gears to make the initial pick up faster and quieter. Besides of that the ride is very smooth overall, Suspension handled the bumps well. The height and load leveling works. The stow and go feature is very thoughtful design and is the more practical than any competitor's offer in term of space management/maximizing inside the cabinet. The Nappa leather seats, the ambient light the super console, and the white analog clock is such a nice touch to make the inside feel more upscale and good looking. I am so happy with the one touch folding third row option that make my wife life much easier. Another benefit of having this feature is that the third row now comes with power reclining controls on both sides. This allows the third row seats more flexible and comfortable especially for kids and for passengers who are not as tall. And worth to mention the quality and power of the sound system in the 2014 T&C limited is unbelievably great which I totally did not expect. Also the Uconnect streaming, voice control bluebooth and the Nav system are the best you can find out there. They are simple to operate, effective and more important they work very well. Note that the touch screen interface needs a few days to get used to but once you are used to it, you will find it's rather straight forward and easy to use. The audio control buttons behind the steering wheel are extremely convenient as your fingers will fall naturally on the buttons when you are holding your steering wheel. Again you will need a few days to remember how to use the controls buttons but once you get it you will not look back. This design also allows a less clustered steering wheel interface. It's indeed one of the smartest steering wheel design I have seen. Overall, extremely happy with the minivan. I highly recommend this T&C limited."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 600

Cons: "Nav system not as good as in '09"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"We bought the '14 T&C Limited to replace an '09 T&C Limited. The '09 was rear ended and we were able to add features and keep the payments close to the same. The Chrysler minivans are the only ones that have Stow & Go. The seats fold into the floor and that means there is a flat rear floor. That is important. When we bought the first one in '09, we had two 70-80 lb dogs who were getting on in years. With a flat floor in the rear, they could enter and exit and stand and lay easily and comfortably. A true Houndsvagen. The new minivan is really well put together. We like the change in the leather. We like the heated steering. We are learning about the key and start button. My daughter was driving with my wife yesterday and my wife got out while my daughter went to park the car and the car alerted "The key has left the car" over and over till my wife returned with the key. We like that you can't easily lock the keys in the car. The navigator was better in '09, at least for us. We loved and love the blind spot detectors and the parking assists. We have loved the T&C experience now for 4 years. My wife wanted on since Chrysler introduced them in the '80s but one thing or another, we never got one. The '14 seems better than the '09 which we loved. Even the mpg is better. I'd have given it 10s across the board but there is always room for improvement. So, more accurately 9.8s across the board."

Mitt Romney blames his defeat on Obama's 'gifts' (David Horsey / Los Angeles Times / November 18, 2012) |
Maybe that lack of perception is one reason why these two aspirants for the highest offices in the land fell short of their goal.
As many pundits have noted, Romney's characterization of government programs as gifts was an echo of his earlier disparaging remarks about the 47% of Americans who pay no income taxes. On both occasions, he was speaking privately with a bunch of fat-cat contributors and reinforcing their demeaning stereotypes of less fortunate Americans. It seems that Romney cannot help but be himself when he is around rich people.
PHOTOS: Top of the Ticket cartoons
The so-called gifts Obama gave included partial forgiveness of student loans, a provision of Obamacare allowing young people to stay on their parents' healthcare plans to age 26, suspension of deportations for immigrant children who have grown up in the United States and healthcare for people who otherwise do not have it or cannot afford it.
What Romney calls gifts, others call lending a hand -- no different than helping people hit by a hurricane. They are programs aimed at providing opportunities for people struggling to get a start in life or rise up from chronic poverty. They are a means to end dependency and create more productive citizens. Other Republicans apparently understand this. As Los Angeles Times reporter Morgan Little described in a Sunday article, several prominent GOP leaders have taken hard shots at Romney's elitism in recent days.
"I think it's nuts," Newt Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week." "I mean, first of all, it's insulting. The job of a political leader, in part, is to understand the people. If we can't offer a better future that is believable to more people, we're not going to win."
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has been openly critical since the day Romney made his loser's remarks.
"We as a Republican Party have to campaign for every single vote," Jindal said. "If we want people to like us, we have to like them first. And you don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought."
Romney may now retire to the comfort of the country club and his several spacious homes, but his former running mate still has a political career to protect. Ryan is stuck trying to explain how he lost the vote in his own hometown. All along the campaign trail in the cozy communities of Iowa, Ohio, Florida and elsewhere, Ryan told audiences he identified with them because he is just a guy from a small town too. Glossing over the fact he has spent almost his entire adult life climbing the political ladder in Washington, Ryan claimed the people of Janesville, Wis., taught him what America is all about.
Well, the voters of Janesville favored the Obama/Biden ticket by a 25% margin over Romney and Ryan. Ryan was also on the ballot running for reelection to Congress and, though he won his district, the good folks in Janesville preferred his opponent by a 10-point margin.
"When you join a national ticket for a party, you become more seen as a Republican guy than necessarily a Janesville guy," Ryan said in an interview on WCLO, Janesville's radio station. "So I think my image, or the thought people had in their minds of me once I joined the Republican ticket, was more 'Paul Ryan, Republican,' than 'Paul Ryan, Janesville guy.'"
Ryan's analysis hits closer to the truth than Romney's. Voters in Janesville and all around the country came to see Romney and Ryan as a certain kind of Republican -- the kind that interprets a helping hand as a gift for freeloaders -- and a majority decided they did not like what they saw.

The message (in bold red) on my Caching admin page says: "SMF has not been able to detect a compatible accelerator on your server."
I checked the permissions on the cache folder and they are 755.
Sharp eyes for oversights are much appreciated!
Doctor Deejay:
Set your Cache directory file permissions to 755 and refresh the page. If that doesn't work, try 775 and refresh the page. :) Make sure to backup, though
It, like before, is set to 755. Yesterday I tried making it 775, logging out, and logging back in. Nothing changed, so I put it back to 755 as it really should be anyway. I expect that the SMF code doesn't even use a group (w/r/t "ugo" permissions) and there is nothing blocking me writing to any directories when I log in as the SMF administrator. This is quite puzzling. Any hints as to which code is giving me the message? Perhaps there is a problem with that code even accessing the cache and this may be its somewhat-misdirected "cry for help"? Just an idea.... Thanks.
Aha! I fixed it. Here's what I discovered.... Apache is running as "other". Normally I wouldn't dare have and write permissions for "group" or "other". A shared server of any kind (Linux, FreeBSD, Windows) is dangerous since temporary files are opened up to all others in that shared folder while being edited. There is no greater security risk than this as you're directly making your contents available with no encryption at all. However, on a virtual server, I as admin and Apache are the only users except for logged in ones whose access is held in check by .htaccess and/or SSL. Even snooping crawlers and spiders can be blocked from any area. So, I changed my access for the cache folder from 755 to 775; that didn't work. Then from 755 to 777 and, voila. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
best wishes,
Doctor Deejay:
Glad to hear it's working fine now :)

Music is part of being human. It is part of our life, is an expression of emotions and a bridge to understanding. Everyone needs it, but everyone also needs a path to it. YEAH! has dedicated itself to these paths.
YEAH! Young EARopean Award is the European competition to highlight creative minds and musical ideas that arouse children and young people's enthusiasm for music beyond youth popular culture. The competition is looking for imaginative and innovative programmes that really engage children and young people creatively in music whether within the western classical music tradition and/or other music traditions with different cultural roots. By bringing together people from different countries and diverse musical traditions this award aims to develop an understanding of each others' cultural roots and traditions: music as an expression of identity which is able to cross borders without words.
YEAH! is addressed to orchestras and ensembles, theaters and concert halls, composers, musicians, librettists, authors, pedagogues, and artists throughout Europe who tickle the ears with new stage formats and offer forward-looking impulses to international music life. Because music involves the shaping of time – our time. It provides food for thought and brings about encounters over and above any borders.
YEAH! was issuing its first call for porposals in June 2010 which lasted for a period of one year. The awards ceremony for the first YEAH! took place during the YEAH! Festival in Osnabrück in November 2011.
After the overwhelming success of the first YEAH! Award in 2011, the decision was taken to hold the YEAH! competition on a biennial basis. In autumn 2012 started the next call for proposals. The application period ends on 31 January 2013. The award ceremony takes place on 14 September 2013 at the end of the second YEAH! festival in Osnabrück.
YEAH! Young EARopean Award is a project of the Stiftung Stahlwerk Georgsmarienhütte and the netzwerk junge ohren.

Vithoulkas to succeed Hazelett as county manager
Deputy Henrico County Manager for Administration John Vithoulkas will succeed Virgil Hazelett as county manager when Hazelett retires in January, following a unanimous vote by the county's Board of Supervisors at its meeting tonight. Vithoulkas, 44, will begin his new position Jan. 17. Vithoulkas will become the eighth county manager since Henrico adopted the form of government in 1934. The county manager serves as Henrico's chief administrative officer, responsible for implementing policies established by the Board of Supervisors and for overseeing the daily operations of the county and more than 35 agencies with approximately 4,000 general government employees (the county's total workforce, general government and Henrico County Public Schools, is more than 10,400). Duties include preparation and oversight of the county's annual budget, which tops $1 billion in operating and capital expenditures for the 2012-13 fiscal year, and preparation of the county's annual legislative program before the Virginia General Assembly. Vithoulkas, a Henrico employee since 1997, rose through the ranks of the Department of Finance, joining the agency as a budget analyst and also working as budget director. He became acting director of Finance in September 2007 before taking over as director in January 2008. In September 2009, Hazelett named him to the additional position of special economic advisor as Henrico confronted revenue declines and other challenges stemming from the national recession. In December, he was named a deputy county manager. Vithoulkas has been key in helping to establish Henrico's to fiscal policies that have enabled the county to balance its budget throughout the recession and the lingering problematic economy. The county has absorbed revenue declines of more than $92 million the last two years without laying off employees, cutting services or raising taxes. He was the architect of a series of bond sales during the recession that yielded $17.7 million in debt-service savings for the county. In August 2011, Henrico was the first locality nationwide to have its debt reaffirmed as triple-AAA — the highest available for a governmental entity — by the three international credit-rating agencies following the downgrade of U.S. government debt by Standard and Poor's. Vithoulkas played a leading role in the effort that established Henrico, Va. as an official mailing address with the U.S. Postal Service in October 2008. The address-change initiative is saving the county more than $5 million annually in tax revenues that previously had been misdirected to other localities. Vithoulkas, a naturalized citizen, is a native of Greece and immigrated to Virginia as an infant with his parents. A product of Henrico County Public Schools, he is a graduate of J.R. Tucker High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1989 and received a master's degree in public administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1992. Before joining the Henrico County staff he worked as a police planner and assistant budget director for Gaston County, N.C. and as a budget analyst for Chesterfield County. Vithoulkas lives in Glen Allen with his wife, Jenny, and their three children. He has keyed the ongoing "Changing the Way Henrico Does Business" initiative, an internal project launched in response to the recession. It has led to streamlined, more-efficient operations in departments countywide, producing permanent savings of more than $50 million. He also has spearheaded efforts such as the Henrico Advantage Card, working with the local business community to boost sales for Henrico retailers. |

Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

The cross-country ski trails open today and are in fair to good condition for early winter skiing. Most trails are groomed with a two-track set. The Green Heron and Lost Pond trails were not groomed, so expect to see some grassy patches on these trails. The snowshoe trails are open and in good condition, as well. The Arboretum offers 16 miles of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails that meander through 1,200 acres of woodlands, wetlands and open field. The trails are slightly different this year; be sure to use updated maps (available at the Info Desk). Snowshoes are available for rental ($6 for 1st hour, $4 per hour after that). We do not offer cross-country ski rentals.

The state allows almost anyone to open a clinic, he said. And once it's running, owners are entitled to public funding for as many patients as they sign up under a 1994 court ruling, Sobky v. Smoley, which establishes Medi-Cal patients' right to drug treatment. The county, according to Viernes, is obligated to contract with state-certified clinics and sign off on their funding.
"This program is just not well run," Viernes said of state oversight.
Viernes' deputy Michael Kerr supervises a staff of seven "contract monitors" who inspect 120 counseling clinics annually, plus 20 more methadone clinics. Each clinic may have one or more sites; some have more than a dozen.
Around the state, Drug Medi-Cal clinics submit bills and regularly receive payment from the counties within weeks. State and county auditors discover taxpayer money has been squandered only if they later review the clinics' client charts.
The county's enforcement vigor has waned considerably in recent years. Viernes signed off on a blitz of nine contract terminations in 2009, shutting down one Wilshire Boulevard clinic that paid two clients $20 each to sign admission paperwork used to generate $11,000 in bills for phantom care.
His team cut off another pair of clinics -- in Los Angeles and Compton -- caught billing for the same clients' care at the same time, eight miles apart.
Even as complaints and evidence of cheating piled up, the county pulled back -- and closed no clinics this year. Viernes said officials have shifted toward helping clinics improve when they fail to meet standards.
The state alcohol and drug department has suspended or terminated certification for at least three clinics since 2009, under a state law that calls for such action during a fraud probe. The Department of Health Care Services declined to identify any cases in which it had cut off a clinic until its crackdown in July.
Funding still flows
Seven years after Alexander Ferdman had his Palm Springs spending spree, auditors in L.A. County began to question whether some of the counseling sessions at his clinic actually took place.
Able Family billed for a group therapy session held on a Sunday when the counseling center was closed, according to a July 2011 county billing review. The 10 a.m. on-site review also turned up notes recounting results of a group therapy session that had not yet been held.
County auditors issued a report warning Ferdman that the county considers such findings evidence of "fraudulent practices" and that the clinic could lose its contract. The county ultimately docked him $7,000.
And then the funding boosts came. Viernes approved an increase in Able Family's funding from $1.6 million in 2011 to nearly $2 million in 2013. Kerr, the county's Drug Medi-Cal supervisor, said such funding increases are approved routinely if clinics fix problems cited in audits.
When reporters laid out the results of their April 2013 stakeout to county regulators, officials pledged to follow up. County auditors went out to dig through paperwork at the clinic last week, only to find Able Family closed.
The clinic's medical director, Dr. Howard Oliver, told CNN that Able Family had been suspended by the state -- a month after reporters confronted California's top health official about Ferdman's record and after the county was notified about the stakeout results.
The doctor praised Ferdman, saying he was helping people and "I've never seen him do anything wrong."
Back in Texas, defense attorney Barrett Hansen was bemused to learn of Ferdman's 10-year career in government contracting. Hansen worked as a prosecutor on Ferdman's insurance fraud case.
"If the state of California is willing to throw money at him," she said, "he's willing to catch it."

Let the Saban to UT rumors get some legs... i'd LMFAO if it ever happened. I'd geaux help the muthafukr move for free.
And what the heck happened with USC yesterday losing to Wash St? 7 points? They must be ready to hang Kiffen.
Sad thing is is they suppoedly have a super stud at WR... couldn't make me happier to see Kiffen struggle to be mediocre.
I'd rather he geaux to UT, the gump meltdown would be epic... wonder how long it'd take'em to melt down that statue if he up and walked out in the middle of the night. Besides UT don't have a conference 'ship anymore... be harder for him to argue his way in to a NC in TX.
I think it would be easier for him to assemble amazing talent within the state vs. having to pull heavily from neighboring states while he's in Bama. And I say that without looking at actual numbers. Just seems it would stand to reason with the numbers in Texas and getting kids to stay in-state would be easier.
