Donations of gently used women's, men's and children's clothing and shoes can be dropped off at the park office until Jan. 23. Blank decided to organize a community clothing drive around Thanksgiving. "I just thought that there is so much waste (of used clothes)," said Blank, explaining that although clothes are often donated to Goodwill and other similar organizations, "some people can't afford the five dollars or whatever it is to buy from Goodwill."

Photos: Rolex/Daniel Forster
March 31, 2011110331_Race2_StartThe start of Race 2 of the International Rolex Regatta featured a starting line skewed to port, and then a very short port-tack fetch to a mark. Was the race committee was into the martinis early? Nope, that's business as usual at the IRR where most of the races are done on random-leg courses. It was crazy at times for the author and his teammates on Phil Lotz' Swan 42 Arethusa (far right), but it was also a lot of fun.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
The Hollywood Heatwave Just Got A Whole Hekuva Lot Hotter. Aubrey O'Day, Melissa Molinaro, and Paula Labaredas collectively transcended a whole new level of exponential hotness !!
This is a rare occasion folks. All planets and stars aligned to create this one unique formation of orbit, and Implosive Supernova Of Sorts. The three were spotted at Paul Frank's Event in West Hollywood for L.A.'s Fashion Night Out.
This is truly a once in a Lifetime event, and if it happens again, surely as I say to you, the end will occur, for our universe is incapable of handling such high temperatures for extended periods of time. Our doom is imminent !!
As a matter of fact, these "Three Bombsketeers", were such an explosive mass of heat energy, they even reported seeing Two Suns in China !!!

A couple of weeks ago, I got a call from Michael Ignatieff's office wondering if I would be available to shoot a short video of the Leader of the Opposition's visit to Charlottetown.
I knew it would be an interesting shoot and a great potential client, however, I was hesitant to get into producing for political parties. While I consider myself a politically-interested person, I don't affiliate myself with any one party. I can't say I agree completely with any of them, and I didn't know (and still don't know) if producing for politics is something I was (or am) interested in.
Original video on Vimeo.
Overall, it ended up being an interesting day, and I'm glad I did it. Mr. Ignatieff handled himself very well around the Farmer's Market, and Islanders were certainly happy to talk to him.

Start by cutting out all of Obama´s new spending. Don´t take all that as normal, accepted, or established.
NO! In 2008 expenditures were just under 3 trillion. Last year 3.8. Don´t give me this phony 2 trillion in cuts. Give Obama a package, you can spend 3.4 trillion only, and we´ll raise tax rates on earners over 1 million. All other rates remain the same. Otherwise shut down the government.2 trillion in cuts over ten years comes out of spending increases. We´d still be over 4 trillion next year.
Don´t think for one second that Obie will suffer on this...he will portray Repubs as anti American and the ´takers´ that voted for him will cheer, as the MSM crucifies anyone in his way!
Take the easy route, Boehner. SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!!!
I volunteer again to sit in a small room for about two months with the proposed budget, if there is one, and a gross of black Sharpies and make everything come out so that there is no need for such things as draconian defense cuts. You don´t get this kind of offer every day, and someone should jump on it.
One thing congress can do is to go to zero based budgeting. Forget this BS of an automatic 8% increase each and every budget. No wonder dirty harry won´t approve a budget.

LEWISTON, Idaho – Getting the early jump in all three games, the Lewis-Clark State College women's volleyball team rolled past Montana Western 25-10, 25-12., 25-10 in Frontier Conference play at the LCSC Activity Center on Saturday afternoon.
The win keeps the No. 12-ranked Warriors undefeated on the season at 14-0 overall, including 2-0 in league play. Of the 14 wins, 11 have been in three-game sweeps. Montana Western, which went winless a year ago, is now 3-8 and 0-2.
LCSC never trailed on the day and opened leads of 4-0, 5-0 and 5-1 in the three games, respectively.
The Warriors did own the net. LCSC outblocked the Bulldogs 11-4 and also hit .346 for the match, compared to a negative-.019 for Montana Western. LCSC also had eight service aces and won every long rally point.
"I think that shows our players have been trained by great high school and clubs coaches before they came here and they know how to win," Greeny said. "They do the all the things necessary to be successful."
Junior Anile Clemente again led the Warriors in kills with 14, a season-high for three games. Dana Christiansen added 11 and hit .579, while Clemente hit .500. Julie Maciboba and Austyn Lewis had five each as 10 Warriors recorded kills.
Lisa Davis paced the Warriors in digs with 16 and also had two service aces, while Maciboba had three aces and Katie Hinrichs two. Lindsay Scott had 12 digs, while Abby Bruya added nine digs and 11 assists. Maciboba led the blocking effort with four, while Lewis added two.
All 16 Warriors played in the match.
Elise Davis led Montana Western with six kills, while Maria Peterson had 13 assists. Kiley Myers added 13 digs.
LCSC returns to action on Friday when it hits the road for the first time in conference play. The Warriors play Montana State-Northern at 6 p.m. on Friday and then face Great Falls on Saturday at 1 p.m.
"We've been talking about coming out strong and also owning the net and playing good defense," LCSC coach Jen Greeny said. "The key for us is to keep that up in order to continue to be successful."

Hotel Industry News In BriefSome current conversation starters…New Study Shows What Families Want On Vacation Pools rule, say families traveling together. A new report from Hilton shows that families value pool and water activities most, followed by spacious and potentially adjoining guest rooms and all-inclusive options. These valued options make sense, given that parents often wish to save money while on vacation. All-inclusive options keep costs down (92% of US parents were interested in this option), while pools and water activities are often free value-adds at a resort that might not have much in the way of off-property activities. Kids' clubs are another highly valued resort amenity for families - key considerations for kids' club use are safety, flexibility and diverse programming. None of these stats are particularly surprising; although, we were a bit shocked that interest in all-inclusive packages was so high, given the limited number of these types of resorts available for domestic travel. Where are parents looking to go? Top destinations where U.S. parents want to vacation now include Hawaii, Orlando, the Grand Canyon, Southern California and Continental Europe, while U.K. parents pair their top choice of Orlando with Disneyland Paris, Italy, Mallorca and Dubai. By McLean Robbins. Dorsett Hospitality International announced that it purchased via subsidiary an office building in London for £14 million (US$22.6 million) that it will convert into a 260-room hotel. The nine-story The Matrix House building, located near the 30 St Mary Axe skyscraper in London's financial district, was being held in administration by Grant Thornton UK LLP. Dorsett plans to spend £21 million (US$33.9 million) converting the property into a hotel, including the adding of three stories to the building. The Hong Kong-based Dorsett said it is expecting an ADR of between £127 (US$205) to £147 (US$237) and an occupancy rate of 75% to 82% but did not say when the hotel is planned to open or its name. "We consider the United Kingdom as one of the most popular destinations to tourists and business travellers around the world. Major European countries including the United Kingdom are attracting an unprecedented number of Chinese tourists." Top 10 Seafood Restaurants in New York City Nothing is more disappointing than going to an oceanfront restaurant, only to discover that the bland fish you're eating was frozen between being caught and being served to you. The best seafood is fresh, and prepared in such a way as to accent the natural flavors of the sea without overwhelming them. Some, like raw bar oysters and clams, need nothing more than a sharp knife and skilled hand to unleash the briny seasonings of the sea. The bounty of our oceans and lakes also includes fish, lobster, shrimp, crab, scallop, crayfish and more delectable denizens of the deep. Presented in alphabetical order, here are the top 10 seafood restaurants in New York. Click Here to view the restaurants.

The Latest in Hotel OpeningsWorld-class luxury hotel brand, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, announced today plans to open a new 300-room JW Marriott Hotel in Cabo San Lucas in 2015. The property will be operated by Marriott under an agreement with Operadora Punta Peninsula, S.A. de C.V., and ownership group Grupo Diestra. Located within the Puerto Los Cabos master-planned development, the JW Marriott will cover approximately 14 acres overlooking the Sea of Cortez and offer 820 feet of beach front just seven miles from Los Cabos International Airport. The JW Marriott will be part of the 2,000-acre master-planned community of Puerto Los Cabos, just three miles northeast of the quaint San Jose del Cabo, founded in 1730. Puerto Los Cabos comprises a number of private residences, a marina, one 18-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus, restaurants and retail space. "We are thrilled to be bringing the luxurious JW Marriott brand to Los Cabos," said Roberto Diaz, Director of Development and Construction, Grupo Diestra. "The site of this hotel is absolutely beautiful, with an extensive beach and access to the many facilities of Puerto Los Cabos." Worldhotels adds first floating hotel to portfolio. Worldhotels, one of the leading groups for independent hotels worldwide, welcomed a truly unique hotel to its portfolio on 1 October 2012 — the iconic ss Rotterdam, located in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Inaugurated in 1958 in Rotterdam with its maiden voyage taking place the following year, ss Rotterdam was the flagship of the Holland America Line fleet. Granted a prime permanent berth at Katendrecht in the heart of the city 50 years later, the fully-restored liner welcomed its first guests as a hotel in February 2010. The ship now features 254 modern hotel rooms, designed to reflect its 1950s origins. Rooms accommodate up to four people with working desks, flat-screen TVs, internet access and air conditioning. Each room features a distinctive shape and colour scheme. Diners can choose between the lively, all-day restaurant Lido and the elegant, stylish Club Room, while the Ocean Bar and the Terrace provide vibrant, social meeting spots. Fourteen different authentic banqueting rooms and 16 meeting rooms provide first-class facilities for events. "Worldhotels offers 500 of the world's most special independent hotels, and the ss Rotterdam is another fantastic first for us," says Robert van der Beek, Worldhotels' newly appointed Senior Director Hotel Development. "The ship holds an iconic position in the maritime tradition of the Netherlands, and in the last two years it has become an insider's tip for travellers visiting Rotterdam for business or pleasure. This new hotel perfectly complements our existing hotels in the city, The Manhattan Hotel Rotterdam and the Bilderberg Parkhotel Rotterdam." "Worldhotels increases the visibility of our hotel and Rotterdam for the international business industry. Besides, Worldhotels is a company which perfectly fits our current mission and vision: we are telling a unique story, we offer a unique product and keep our own identity," says Michaël ten Brink, Director of Hotel Operations, ss Rotterdam.

divI'm not one to chase down huge bands at SXSW, sort of prefer to look for the next cool thing. I had a great experience and met some cool people from all over the world. Incredible how accessible and gracious they are... except for one. ) I'll get to that. Here were some of those moments. /divdivbr //divdiv style="text-align: center;"a href="http://www.myspace.com/untiljune"Until June/a at Aces Lounge. Didn't get to chat but this was a band I really wanted to see and was the last one I caught of the festival. Brutal for me to stay up to watch a band from 1-2am. These guys were worth it. Weird to see just two guys on stage, but I saw a LOT of that this year. Lot's of electronic drums and backup music. Just a sign of the economic times or it's just easier for one or two people to get things done. The full band might be in trouble. /divdivbr //diva onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dHmav2z1o1o/S6gmAWjW9iI/AAAAAAAAH0c/3P9Rc9Iqlt4/s1600-h/CIMG4428.JPG"img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dHmav2z1o1o/S6gmAWjW9iI/AAAAAAAAH0c/3P9Rc9Iqlt4/s200/CIMG4428.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451649136427726370" //abr /diva href="http://www.myspace.com/mywavemachine"Wave Machines/a at the Driskill. I was really excited to see these guys. From the sounds of their music I was expecting them to be a lot younger. I couldn't tell if these guys were 25 or 50. I had a funny exchange where I asked to grab a pic and say in the kitchen just before they went on. They acted all put out. I went out front and posted that they were Pissy Fu$#@ about it, but I still like them. One of their people replied quickly that it was just because they were about to go on and to catch them after the show. I couldn't hang that long. They were good and real pro's. One of the best new things out of SXSW and one to watch.br /a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dHmav2z1o1o/S6gmAMd6rlI/AAAAAAAAH0U/aDxfaY6G4rM/s1600-h/CIMG4423.JPG"img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dHmav2z1o1o/S6gmAMd6rlI/AAAAAAAAH0U/aDxfaY6G4rM/s200/CIMG4423.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451649133720546898" //abr //divdivThis was probably the coolest, most down to earth moment I had at SX. It was a chilled Zone Bar lounge, not even sure where I was, although I had an awkward moment when the place was dead silent and I dropped my beer and shattered the bottle. Yeah I had a few. My wife also got loaded down with bags of Zone bars. Anyway this is Damian, that goes by the name a href="http://www.myspace.com/peasant"Peasant/a. He could not have been any more cordial and humble. He's a great singer/songwriter and the real deal. Look for him to so a film soundtrack someday. I heard he spent a few extra days in Austin. Maybe he's thinking of moving here. After all, he lists Doylestown, PA as his home.

Caught them during a daytime show at Red Fez. They were great although I'm not sure the small mobile quick setup does them justice. They were one of the more artsy artists I checked out, so I wasn't sure how receptive they would be to the photo opp. All the British artists run outside to smoke during SXSW, so meet them right outside the nearest exit.

Berrymans Opens Dublin Office as Part of Expansion StrategyTop 50 U.K. law firm Berrymans Lace is set to launch an office in Dublin. The insurance specialist's new practice will focus on motor, liability and property damage claims, with the goal of adding professional indemnity, health care, corporate risks and construction work. A team of 12 lawyers and claims handlers will initially staff the new base.2012-10-04 12:00:00 AM Berrymans Lace Mawer is set to launch a new office in Dublin as the top 50 U.K. law firm kicks off an expansion strategy. The insurance specialist's new practice in the Republic of Ireland, which opens this week, will focus on motor, liability and property damage claims, aiming to create and develop client relationships in the region. The firm aims to extend its Dublin practice to include professional indemnity, health care, corporate risks and construction work. A team of 12 lawyers and claims handlers, headed up by a partner, will initially be based there, but the firm expects the headcount to increase substantially over the next three years. The office opening is the first move in the firm's growth strategy, which was devised by senior partner Michael Brown. The Dublin practice will be the first office outside the U.K. Brown commented: "Our business is driven by the opportunities we develop with our clients. The Irish legal market is facing significant developments and our clients expect us to be alongside them, supporting their objectives. "We have a strong vision of where we want to be in five years' time and extending the jurisdictions we work with clients in is an important aspect of our strategic vision. We are well placed to work alongside Irish clients who are keen to benefit from our experience of the U.K. claims market." The expansion comes after the firm announced the hire of a 33-strong personal injury team for its Southampton branch from local practice Lamport Bassitt Solicitors last April. Berrymans in 2011-12 saw its revenues edge up 3 percent to hit 81.2 million pounds, with profits per equity partner of 248,000 pounds. Berrymans elected health care practice co-head and Manchester partner Mike Brown as its new senior partner in the same month, replacing long-standing chief Terry Renouf. |


text: Jimmy Todorovitch started building custom bikes as a hobby about 12 years ago. Today it has become much more than that, it's an obsession, something he feels compelled to do. He started like many guys in his garage and has since won numerous awards, including his class in the 2010 International Master Bike Builder competition in Sturgis. Gaining more and more recognition, Jimmy decided to turn bike building into a real business identifying himself/his bikes under the name Profile Cycles. About a year ago, Quaid Harley-Davidson in Loma Linda, California, picked him up as its service advisor and to help them get more into the custom world. Jimmy's first build way back when was a bike he picked up and decided to change up a bit. Once his friends saw what he did they started asking him to customize their bikes. He had a knack for changing stuff up and enjoyed making things better. At any given time Jimmy has anywhere from two to eight custom projects he is working on from his garage. This bike is Jimmy's personal ride and was once a bone-stock '09 Deluxe. He picked it up new, rode it home and took it apart. What you see in these pics is actually the second version of this bike. When he first brought it home he took it all apart and blacked everything out and put spoke wheels on it. Then one night Jimmy got bored working on the customer bikes he had at the time and decided to tear his ride down to the frame. He wanted to do something a little bit different but still keep the bike really clean and rideable since it's his main bike. "I had an idea, so I started taking parts off, then some more, and before I knew it, it was late into the night, more like early morning and I was pretty much down to the frame, and well at that point, committed to my idea," explains Jimmy. "I had an idea, so I started taking parts off, then some more, and before I knew it, it was late into the night, more like early morning, and I was pretty much down to the frame, and well at that point, committed to my idea." Over the next few weeks Jimmy ordered parts and contacted some of his friends in the industry, Wendell over at Rampage Wheels, Seth at Aggressive Designs, and Rich at Bitch'n Seat Co. He wanted to build a badass bike that would turn heads and be recognized for the detail, design, and profile, hence the name Profile Cycles. One of the coolest features on the bike is the 23-inch front rim that Jimmy made way for by removing the front fender rivets and welding them smooth so he could install a custom mount that would raise the fender to clear the rim. The rear fender was also smooth and lowered 1 inch, and the rear fender struts were shortened and smoothed. At the top of the bike Jimmy used a modified RWD dash and installed an internal throttle and hydraulic clutch so that all the lines could be hidden in the custom ape handlebars he made. The seat was custom-made by Rich from Bitch'n Seat Co. and is comprised of Italian leather with a sting-ray inlay. To bump up the engine a bit Jimmy added S&S 510 cams, a Power Commander V programmer, a high-flow intake, and a Thunder Header exhaust. He also added a 2-inch BDL beltdrive to the drivetrain. On the dyno the bike puts out a reliable 93 hp and 100 lb-ft of torque. As for the suspension, Jimmy swapped the front lower legs with 1-inch-under Arlen Ness billet legs and a Progressive lowering kit with custom dampening rods. Out back he installed a Shot Gun air ride rear suspension. The most challenging part of the build for Jimmy was getting it done in a timely manner without getting sidetracked by other projects. Remember, it's his daily rider. It was also important for him to come up with the right combination of parts and design, so everything was thought out before it was done. In the end Jimmy built himself a smoothed-out custom H-D that hardly gets recognized as the stock Deluxe it once was. HB Nice and clean. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Chad Williams Enjoyed this Post? Subscribe to our RSS Feed, or use your favorite social media to recommend us to friends and colleagues!

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept Debuts in Paris
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
The ultimate formula to engineering a high-performance automobile is the power-to-weight ratio. Most automakers that want their cars to go faster up the power part, but some are increasingly focusing on reducing weight, which also happens to help with handling, braking, fuel economy, carbon emissions. Lamborghini has typically fallen into the former category, but has declared its intentions to join the latter with the Sesto Elemento concept.
Currently on display at the Paris Auto Salon, the Sesto Elemento is a case study in performance through reduced weight. The Italian engineers managed to curb the curb weight down to below the 1000 kilogram (2,200 lb) mark through the extensive use of carbon fiber and carbon-reinforced plastic in the frame, body, suspension, brakes...even the wheels. Coupled with the 570-horsepower V10 engine from the Gallardo, the reduced weight is said to be capable of propelling the Sesto Elemento from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds, topping out over 300 km/h (186 mph).
Although strictly a concept for the time being, methods and design elements from the show car promise to find their way into the next generation of Lamborghini supercars roaring around the corner.

Ted Simons:
Tonight on Horizon, an immigration town hall turns lively as protestors disrupt the proceedings. And a chat with former presidential candidate Steve Forbes on the current presidential campaign and the economy. That's all next on horizon.
Horizon is made possible by contributions from the friends of Eight, members of your Arizona PBS station. Thank you.
Ted Simons:
Good evening and thanks for joining us tonight on Horizon. I'm Ted Simons. The immigration issue seems to be heating up on a daily basis. Last Thursday evening organizers put together a town hall to discuss concerns and potential impacts of a possible new direction in police procedure. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon wants to change how the police deal with illegal immigrants. Larry Lemmons shows us the activity that captured a lot of attention in the South Mountain High School Auditorium.
[Overlapping speakers]
Audience Member:
Show me the papers. Show me the papers. Who are you? I don't care who you are. Show me who you are.
Larry Lemmons:
Tempers flared as illegal immigration protesters made their presence known at a town hall meeting called to discuss potential changes to a Phoenix Police procedure regarding immigration.
Mary Rose Wilcox:
Before I turn over the mike --
Larry Lemmons:
Disruption began at the outset of the town hall as organizer marry Rose Wilcox attempted to introduce the panel convened by Mayor Phil Gordon to review the police procedure. Protestors called for the pledge of allegiance.
Mary Rose Wilcox:
Oh, I'm sorry.
[Indiscernible yelling]
Mary Rose Wilcox:
Okay. I would ask that people who have spoken out, security go talk to them and remove them if necessary. Okay. I will introduce the panel. [Applause] [Overlapping speakers] [Jeering]
[Indiscernible yelling]
Mary Rose Wilcox:
Okay. Now everybody calm down. If we have any more outbursts you will be escorted out of this building. Okay. On behalf of the community we invited everybody. We welcome you. But you must behave in a manner that is one that we will accept for this forum.
Larry Lemmons:
The four members of the panel are former U.S. Attorneys Paul Charlton and Jos� Rivera, former Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley and former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods. The panel has been given the task of developing a new policy to replace Operations Order 1.4 -- that policy prevents the phoenix police in most cases from asking a person's immigration status. It has also led to charges from anti-illegal immigrant groups that Phoenix has become a so-called sanctuary city that turns a blind eye to illegal immigration. Gordon wants the new policy to allow police to notify immigration and customs enforcement, or I.C.E., whenever a suspect's immigration status is in question. Gordon's change in policy has outraged some of the Hispanic community who feel it will lead to racial profiling.
Forum Speaker:
Think about it, it's very simple. If people are committing crimes, it doesn't matter if they're white, if they're brown, if they're black or green. It doesn't matter if they're legal or illegal. If they're committing crimes --
Forum Speaker:
If they're criminals, all of us in this room will agree on one thing. Criminals should be arrested.
Larry Lemmons:
Microphones were set up to allow comments from the audience, but many protestors chose to disrupt the meeting and were escorted from the auditorium. Prompting supporters in the audience to chant "Si se Puedes" a term popularized by Latino activist C�sar Chavez, meaning "Yes, it can be done."
Ted Simons:
Joining me now to talk about what happened at the town hall, one of the sponsors of the event, Representative Steve Gallardo of Phoenix, and representing Los Abogados, a Hispanic Association of Attorneys, Daniel Ortega. Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. Steve, we'll start with you. Your reaction to this town hall meeting.
Steve Gallardo:
It was refreshing. I mean, you had the Latino community for the first time be able to get together as a community, to be able to voice their opinion on this proposed rule. This is something that should have been done before any type of committee was even formed to be able to bring the community together and say, "What do you think of the possibility of changing it?" This was an opportunity for the Hispanic community to come together, make their voices loud and clear to the city hall, particularly the Mayor of Phoenix, that we are not going to stand for any type of rule change that's going to be detrimental to Latinos. So we made it very loud and clear to the City of Phoenix and also the Blue Ribbon Panel that was there that we do have some concerns on any type of proposed changes to rule 1.4.
Ted Simons:
Danny, did the town hall meeting accomplish that much?
Daniel Ortega:
Oh, absolutely. I fully agree with what Representative Gallardo had to say. You know, it's been a long time -- and I've been around a long time -- since we've had a meeting in our community that truly represented the wide interests of what our community is all about. And, I mean, there's people there that I hadn't seen in a long time. Plus there were a lot of people there that are new. and I think more than anything else, I think, number one, that the presentations that were made -- by the way, it was 2 1/2 hours, not the four minutes you just put on film right now -- were all very well-done, very well-prepared and articulate. Second, it really did appear as though the panel was listening. It appeared as though they were truly concerned and wanted to hear what we had to say about the impact of changing the order.
Ted Simons:
What concerns you most about the impact?
Daniel Ortega:
The thing that concerns me the most is public safety. Clearly when police officers have to use their scarce resources to enforce immigration law, it takes away from fighting crime. And when it takes away from fighting crime, our community suffers. Second, if you don't have the cooperation of a community -- in this case the Latino community, for fear of potential repercussions because of enforced immigration laws - then you don't have effective law enforcement because people are not reporting crimes, or worse, there's no witnesses to crime. So public safety, I think, are the key elements here.
Ted Simons:
Aside from public safety, Steve, if we had the four-member panel here, what would you want them to hear? What were your concerns?
Steve Gallardo:
Well, I think Danny just touched on one. One was the issue of public safety. Anytime you add another level of authority of responsibility to our local law enforcement whose primary responsibility is to patrol and make sure our neighborhoods are safe and make sure our streets are safe, you also have the issue of racial profiling, the issue how exactly do you implement such a rule and how do you have our local law enforcement be able to implement a new rule without engaging in racial profiling. And also a third is the whole issue of the cost to the taxpayers of the city of phoenix. I mean, this is actually a huge cost. Anytime you add an additional level of responsibility, there's going to be a cost. And who's going to pay for that cost? You have 3,000 law enforcement within the City of Phoenix who'd have to go through a federalized training, they'll have to take on additional responsibilities in terms of reporting, in terms of processing. All that costs money and time. And those are some of the unattended consequences when you start looking at possible rule changes.
Ted Simons:
But again, the mayor's office says the reason they're going this change of direction is to give an option, a choice, for police officers. They don't necessarily have to do x, y and z. But in a certain situation they have that option. What's wrong with that argument?
Steve Gallardo:
And they have that option now when a serious crime has been committed and when they're in the process of transporting a suspected criminal from the site to actual jail facility or to the police department. The problem is the fear. The fear that you put out into the community that will affect law enforcement from doing their number one responsibility, and that is patrolling our streets and working with community and solving crimes. That is the underlining problem. There's a lot of areas. But I don't think there's a problem with local law enforcement using I.C.E. in order to deport, because they have that authority now when a serious crime has been committed. The problem becomes, how much more authority do you give them in terms of causing other underlying problems.
Ted Simons:
Danny, rank and file police have kind of made it known they would like to have this option. they would be the ones, I would suspect, who would -- if there's a red flag saying public safety could be affected -- they would be the ones pushing the other direction. How do you quantify that?
Daniel Ortega:
Look. Let me deal with it this way. A recent survey that was just released about a week ago asked the Latino community what they thought about the idea of having law enforcement involved in immigration issues or asking for documents. 80\% -- 80\% of the Latino community says, "No way, we don't want the police involved." And the reason why is because we're afraid that we will be victims of racial profiling. The non-Hispanic, or those that don't look like us, or those that aren't a shade brown like mine, okay, they see it as an okay thing. Why? Because they're not going to be subject. They're not going to be subject to that. Remember, legally everybody's got constitutional rights. And we understand that. And I think the panel is going to try to do the right thing. But the bottom line is that those who don't look like us have a second protection, the color of their skin. We don't have that protection. And it's important for the rest of the community to work with us on what is clearly a fear of ours. You can deal with procedures. You can deal with a whole host of things that the police are proposing might work. But the bottom line is, at the end of the day, the only people who are affected are our community. And this community has to understand that.
Ted Simons:
Is there a disconnect between rank and file police officers on the beat and the community? If the officers think this might work and the community is saying, no, it's not?
Daniel Ortega:
Clearly there's a disconnect. And I think it's for political reasons. I mean, you have a whole new type of leadership that just came in to the police union who want to try something different. And it's always the result of the shooting that occurred most recently. I mean, we have to put it where it's at. The bottom line here is that if the order had been changed prior to that, it wouldn't have been any different. This guy was a low-base, despicable criminal. It had nothing to do with whether he was undocumented or not. This is a guy who was deported from this country and he came back. He's a despicable criminal because he murdered a police officer. The bottom line is you don't change the rule on account of one incident or two incidents or three when thousands upon thousands, hundreds of thousands of people are going to be affected by a policy that will lead to racial profiling.
Ted Simons:
Steve, why do you think the mayor is looking at these changes?
Steve Gallardo:
Well, for one reason, I think he has, for the longest time, has heard from a real loud vocal crowd. And these are folks that have for the long time has wanted anyone that does not look like them to be away from the city. I think it's now time for the Latino community, and those folks that believe that public safety should be a number one issue, to be very vocal. That's exactly what the forum did. The forum provided not only the Latino community but those folks that were also interested in the issue of racial profiling. We have Councilman Calvin Gere, former Councilman Calvin Gere, come make a presentation. So it's not just the Latino community that's very concerned about the issue of racial profiling. African American communities are concerned about the issue of racial profiling. We had a gentleman from the Equality Arizona come talk about the human rights aspect of it. So there's a lot of other segments of our society who are very concerned about this particular rule change. I think that's what the forum provided was a path for everyone to be able to have their thoughts and concerns.
Ted Simons:
Danny, what do you want to see this four-member panel do? I mean, how much of a change do you want to see? Obviously the mayor wants to see a change; the panel is going to recommend some changes. Is there a halfway, a quarter-way? Do you want to just leave it alone at that? What do you want to see?
Daniel Ortega:
I believe that the order that exists can work. I don't believe that it needs any changes. The problem is, don't change for change's sake. The bottom line is that at this point, the police do have the wherewithal to deal with the types of criminals that they want to apprehend. The bottom line is that anybody who is arrested and incarcerated, ok, is screened for documentation. They're screened for documentation. There's a clear line. If you're arrested and incarcerated, they have the right to ask you your legal status. And that should be enough. At which point do you take a simple traffic violation and have people be asked for their papers? At which point do you have a victim of a crime, sexual assault, be asked for their legal papers? I mean, where does this end? And the bottom line here is, our position is, let's make the order work in its present state.
Ted Simons:
30 seconds. Are you optimistic the panel is going to come back with recommendations you can live with?
Steve Gallardo:
Well, we'll have to wait to see. We're going to be watching the process very closely. We'll continue to work with the actual blue-ribbon committee. And whatever suggestion they put on the table we look forward to working with the mayor and council to see how they implement it.
Ted Simons:
Quickly, optimistic?
Daniel Ortega:
I'm very optimistic. I really think that they were listening. I don't know that they really understood where the Latino community stood until Thursday night. And I'm real confident that they're going to look at this very seriously.
Ted Simons:
Alright, gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.
Ted Simons:
Steve Forbes is the Editor in Chief of Forbes magazine. He ran for president in 1996 and 2000. He won the Arizona primary in '96. Forbes famously promoted a flat tax to replace the income tax. He's currently involved with the Rudy Giuliani presidential campaign. He was in Phoenix recently as a keynote speaker for the Goldwater Institute. Larry Lemmons spoke with Forbes at the Phoenician.
Larry Lemmons:
Well, Steve Forbes, you're the Senior Policy Advisor and the National Co-Chair of the Rudy Giuliani campaign. How's that campaign going so far?
Steve Forbes:
The campaign is going well. I think there are two principal issues; one of course is national security. He's the one candidate who if elected I think will have the terrorists saying, "Uh, oh." And on the economy I think he knows that bold things have to be done. I was with him in New Hampshire the other day and he waved a small sheet of paper and said, "There's no reason why the American people shouldn't be able to fill out their tax returns on a single sheet of paper." Which was music to my ears. As mayor he got it on taxes. He cut taxes for the first time in anyone's memory. The tax burden in New York City went down on its citizens instead of going up. And even though the democrats controlled the city council 45-6, he got through a spending restraint, kept it below the rate of inflation, put in tax cuts and made the city solvent which was quite a revolution.
Larry Lemmons:
Since you went down that road, let's talk about tax cuts. Right now we have this tremendous budget deficit. And i know a lot of the presidential candidates are not bringing up tax cuts at the moment. Tax cuts seems to be a dirty word.
Steve Forbes:
Well, quite the opposite. It was the tax cuts of 2003 that made possible the economic growth we've had in recent years. In the last four years the growth of the American economy alone exceeds the entire size of the Chinese economy. Now, china has a faster growth rate, but it's coming off of a much smaller foundation, much smaller base. And if you will look at the revenues in Washington, the revenues are coming in. They're flooding in. The problem is they spend it and spend some more. It's a spending problem we have in Washington, not a revenue problem. And cutting taxes, properly done, increases the strength of the economy, and at a time when we're facing more overseas competition from India and China and elsewhere, Central and Eastern Europe and the like, I think we need to do everything we can to make ourselves more economically fit, get ourselves into shape. And Washington is not the answer on that one.
Larry Lemmons:
Do you believe in a balanced budget, then?
Steve Forbes:
I believe that we got to get off the backs of the American people. And if Washington can't control its spending appetite, don't punish the American people. Don't punish the entrepreneurs in this country who want to create businesses, create new jobs and make us more competitive. So I want to reduce that tax burden. And one thing that properly structured tax reductions do, I think, if people keep more their money, is they do more with it better than Washington does, and at the same time Washington gets more revenue. Revenues again in the last three years have exploded at an unprecedented rate, at a record rate. But if you spend everything you get and then spend some more, you got a spending problem, not an income problem.
Larry Lemmons:
Do you think it's a danger for countries like China and Japan to be buying up our debt?
Steve Forbes:
Well, I'm glad somebody wants our debt, given the way Washington runs its finances. But seriously, it's a large market for a U.S. debt. And if the Chinese want to buy it, fine. If they want to sell it, fine. But we do have the safest securities in the world. And whenever there's a crisis, right now we have this crisis with the sub prime mortgages, where do people go? Treasuries. So I don't worry about that.
Larry Lemmons:
Well, I had read in another article you'd done you were saying the sub prime mortgage problem isn't as big a problem as the weakening dollar.
Steve Forbes:
Well, the dollar is weak because our central bank, the Federal Reserve, is printing too many dollars. We did that in the 1970's and got inflation. It's the equivalent to flooding the engine of a car. You can have a fine automobile. But if you pump in too much fuel you're going to have problems. And that's what the Federal Reserve has done, pumped out too much money so oil prices went up, oil commodity prices went up, copper went up, shipping rates went up, steel went up. And then when you have too much money around, people want to put it to work. And so lenders got lax on their lending standards. And so housing, which was already in a boom, went on steroids. And so we got a mess on that. So weakening the dollar, printing too many dollars, they have a theory in Washington that's the way to make you strong. But if it was, a country like Argentina would be a global economic power and it isn't.
Larry Lemmons:
So are you happy with Ben Bernanke as the Federal Reserve chairman?
Steve Forbes:
Well, Ben Bernanke inherited a bad situation from Allen Greenspan. But unfortunately Mr. Bernanke didn't realize what a bad situation it was. I'm not sure he quite realizes what's going on today. So I give him an incomplete. I'm a generous person. But in the last few years, Allen Greenspan, even though he went out with rose petals at his feet, in the last few years I think he did a very poor job and we're facing the consequences of it.
Larry Lemmons:
Running for president, one of the major platforms that you were known for is the flat tax. Are you still promoting that? Is that still viable? And are there indications that the Giuliani campaign might be adopting some sort of form of that?
Steve Forbes:
I still firmly believe in the flat tax, single rate, generous exemption for adults and for kids. The latest proposal I had which I wrote in my book "Flat Tax Revolution, Using a Post Card to Abolish the I.R.S." was that a family of four would pay no federal income tax on their first $46,000 of income. And they'd pay only 17 cents on the dollars above that. It would be no tax on your savings, no death taxes. You should be allowed to leave the world unmolested by the I.R.S., I think, and on the business side reduce the business tax from 35 to 17\% and allow people to expense their capital expenses. If you build a factory or buy a piece of machinery you should expense that for tax purposes. And if you have a loss you carry it forward against your future profits. If we'd do that we'd really see this economy take off. You would see all the gloom about the future quickly dispelled. And this is not theory. 18 countries in recent years have adopted the flat tax in one form or another. And it's worked everywhere. It's worked even in Russia. So the thing, the idea is a sound one. Low rates, simplicity, exemptions for people so they can raise their kids. And otherwise get out of their way. And because people worry about, "Oh am i going to lose this deduction or that deduction?" the way you do it is give people a choice. In other words, if we have the new system, new flat tax, you can go with the flat tax or if you wish you can stay with the old complicated system. You make the choice. You see which one is better. I think the flat tax people would quickly see is the best way to go. And that's the way we can keep this country ahead of others in terms of innovation. And we got to do that, because others are striving to catch up to us.
Larry Lemmons:
Well, you brought up the death tax. Of course it's also known as the estate tax. And other wealthy men such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates say they don't mind the estate tax because on the one hand it promotes charitable giving, and on the other hand it doesn't create some sort of aristocracy.
Steve Forbes:
For first of all, on charitable giving, surveys have shown, experience has shown, experience has demonstrated that people give when they have the money to give. They don't need to be bribed by the tax code to do it. Because the tax code is so complicated, you got to take factor of it if you want to make a gift. But even before we had the tax code, even before we had the income tax, Americans were known, and history shows, gave more than any other people around the world. And even in the 1980's when tax rates were cut, the income tax -- top income tax rate -- was cut from 70\% down to 28\%, a lot of charitable institutions thought, "Oh, well, people won't give because the rates are so low." Well, they gave, not only did the rate of growth of giving go up, the amount went up. It worked. When people have more, they give more. They don't need the I.R.S. to push them to do it. Most people do it. And in terms of fear of an aristocracy, the way you end up perversely preserving wealth, in these families, is if you have a high death tax, they hire a bunch of smart accountants and lawyers, set up trusts so the kids can't get their hands on it, professionals manage it and get some income and a little bit of principal, but it's kept out of their hands. And I think experience again shows that when people get money, they suddenly discover they have unmet needs and it gets circulated pretty quickly. That's what happened when the Rockefeller family when they finally broke those trusts up. You look at the Forbes 400 - 25 years ago was 400 richest people in the country. Tons of people, from the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family. Today? Zero DuPonts and only one Rockefeller.
Larry Lemmons:
Well, in 1996, when you were running for president, you actually won the Arizona primary --
Steve Forbes:
It's why I don't mind coming back.
Larry Lemmons:
-- and I suspect it's because of your tax policy. Arizona has traditionally been a very anti-tax kind of state.
Steve Forbes:
I think one of the reasons Arizona is doing well, aside from the climate, is California. California's become very tax addicted, very anti-business. And as a result, you have a lot of refugees from California. It's also benefited Nevada, Oregon and other neighboring states. Utah, Colorado. But Arizona certainly has been a beneficiary. So why throw that away? I think the Goldwater Institute was very good in one of their campaigns was having a 10\% income tax cut. Do more of it. And then Arizona will prosper. That's what you want, a prosperous state.
Larry Lemmons:
Steve Forbes, thanks so much for talking to Horizon.
Steve Forbes:
Thank you.
Challenges for Governor Janet Napolitano regarding the state budget continue to grow. The budget deficit could reach $1 billion. The governor also approves giving benefits to domestic partners. And she inks a deal with Homeland Security on a so-called three in one license. Hear from the Governor on those topics and more Tuesday at 7:00 on Horizon.
Ted Simons:
Wednesday, we'll look at the potential impact of the new employer sanctions law that will go into effect in January. Thursday we'll preview the Phoenix Metropolitan Opera's new production of La Boehme. And of course, Friday, join us for the journalists' Roundtable. That's it for now. I'm Ted Simons. You have a great evening.

Julian and I had a Groupon for this restaurant, and decided to make Sunday a date night (yay for spontaneity!) of Indian food and laser tag. Generally, I don't imagine Albany as a place I would live (it has some pretty crummy areas), but since I've been thinking about Grad School there, I've been looking at the for rent buildings differently, and so has Julian. This little neighborhood where Jewel was, is so charming. It has brownstones and loads of restaurants, and is just the kind of place we could imagine ourselves living next year. Julian thought it was an even better than Rochester (where we always talk about having a loft), and a less expensive version of a Beacon Hill–Brooklyn combination. But onto the restaurant itself. When we walked in, I was immediately drawn to the TV, which was playing lots of promiscuous Indian music videos (since when is pole dancing Indian?). The menu has on it a girl with a very large nose ring, and the ceiling has cut-outs where lights sparkle on and off. We ordered Singara Samosa Chat as our appetizer, and Chai. The chai took forever to come, which we thought would be a very good sign as to it being actual chai, but it as soon as the waiter brought it, with sugar packets on the side, we knew it would not be authentic. It was also luke warm almost to the point of being cold, which was disappointing, but I thought that Samosa Chat was excellent. It was the perfect mixture of warm and cold, and a bit spicy. For our entrees we ordered Bhindi Masala (okra) very hot, and Channa Dal Masala (chick peas) hot, Butter Naan, and Poori (Julian's absolute favorite). Both entrees were good, but the chick peas were absolutely wonderful. I actually found that that was spicier than the okra, and I loved it. The breads were not comparable to what we had in India, but still satisfying. We both agreed that it is definitely some of the best indian food that we've had in the U.S. and I can't wait to come back here.

We are in room 3, it's just adorable. We came up from Marin to spend the night and not have to drive home after dinner & wine at Redd. This is the perfect spot. About a 3-minute walk to resto. Room is good sized and feels even larger because of tall ceilings. Only one window, but the trompe l'oeil open... More

I'm not quite ready to write a review on this album, but my impressions so far are not quite as positive as I had hoped.
A lot of tracks hold the truly psychedelic feel from the original, including a few of the newbies. In fact, the album as a whole is absolutely a stunner, but drawing the comparison between the original and this is inevitable, and this is what I am most disappointed by.
All tracks hold a strength in the sense that the back drop for 5 of the 9 tracks is from one of the most spectacular psychedelic dub masterpieces of all time. That being said, the bass guitar that replaces a lot of the original bass from those tracks is, in my honest opinion, an epic failure.
The first track, a new take on LSD, is absolutely the best example. The complex and driving bass rhythms which really held the entire song together have been replaced by a very, VERY simple bass rhythm which lacks imagination and complexity. The problem I have throughout this entire album is that the same kind of simple bass rhythms dominate at least a third of the (albeit very short) album, and I can't help but be distracted by them whenever they are around.
Solstice is another great example of this… the first three minutes of the song, originally entitled the Warwick Bassmonkey Remix, are (again, in my opinion), ruined by a simplistic take on a bass line which was very intricate and (originally) created the build to an epic piece of music. The song is only redeemed when Ott throws in the bass line from the original tune at the climax in order to drown out the weak sounds of the bass player.
I am very sorry to Youth for being so critical, but quite honestly this live performance could have been truly spectacular with a bassist willing to more closely replicate the intricacy of Ott's original work, and build upon those with live improvisation.
In every other manner, this album is really awesome. And the new tracks, which were more designed to fit with simple bass lines are good, but not the psychedelic ride that was created by the original Hallucinogen in Dub, and seem tailored to fit a live crowd rather than for at home listening.
While I consider this album a success, it is not a worthy predecessor to the original, as the ways that it differs offer not more complexity, but a sense of simplicity which leaves me feeling like something is lacking, particularly having seen the bar raised so high by not only Twisted records but many other musicians in the psychedelic music scene up to this day.
In short, the album is fucking outstanding, but it sounds like there is an amateur out there practicing the bass guitar while everyone else is doing their best to create a fucking amazing audial experience. I appreciate all the mastering that was done which delayed this album, in order to make it sound as great as possible. The problem is it simply needs to be re-recorded with a bassist who has style, enthusiasm and skill that competes with the likes of Jimi Hendrix.
That's my two cents…
*edit* as I keep listening.. the bassist seriously makes this music feel like a Grateful Dead concert… in a bad way… same shit, over, and over, and over… Again, everything else is spot on…
