A process to split 34 parcels from the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District could take months, so Monterey County officials are asking parents of one neighborhood to consider alternatives.
Members of the Monterey County Committee on School District Organization on Wednesday advised petitioner James Gumberg, who said he wants to see those parcels added to the Carmel Unified School District so his daughter can attend its prestigious high school, to consult with neighbors to see if they can reach a settlement to avoid a costly and lengthy process.
The committee decided to wait for two weeks before setting dates for initial public hearings on the process.
Gumberg and co-petitioner Brian McLaughlin gathered enough signatures to start the process that would transfer 33 homes and one vacant lot in the multimillion-dollar Rancho Mar Monte subdivision from MPUSD to the higher-performing, more affluent Carmel Unified. In their petition, they say they would like to see more neighborhood cohesion and that the transfer would mitigate traffic on Highway 1.
The area in question appears to have four school-age children, although none attend MPUSD now, said Dan Albert, the district's assistant superintendent of schools. No school buses serve the neighborhood, but the district has regulations in place that would extend bus service to the area if more students lived there, he said.
Gumberg said he has one child who attends San Benancio Middle School in the Washington Union School District and another child in private school. Other children in the area may be attending private schools.
Exactly how many students would be affected by the change would be determined by the process that committee members seem to want to avoid.
Although the committee — composed of members of the Monterey County Board of Education — has conducted proceedings of this nature before, Wednesday's initial hearing was designed to inform new members and the petitioner of the process. The next step would be to hold public hearings in both districts, which have to take place within 60 days of receiving the petition to transfer the territory.
After that would come an initial study, an environmental impact report and a "feasibility of transfer" study, which would need to meet nine criteria, including adequate student enrollment in each district, community identity and whether the new boundaries would result in racial or ethnic discrimination or segregation.
The study also would need to determine that the transfer was not being promoted to increase property values and that it would not negatively affect the finances of either district.
After the study is completed, the committee could approve or deny the transfer. The new boundaries would be subject to approval by the Department of Justice because Monterey County is subject to the pre-clearance under the Voting Rights Act, designed to prevent discrimination against minorities when it comes to voting and representation.
The process could take up to 18 months, said Marguerite Leoni, a consultant who has helped Monterey County with similar matters in the past.
Committee chairman Harvey Kuffner, who has participated in several transfers, encouraged Gumberg to seek an alternative, such as making the neighborhood "school choice" so children could attend Carmel schools. Gumberg said he did not know that was an option but was willing to explore it.
Gumberg said he would consult with his co-petitioner and neighbors about whether they would be willing to withdraw the petition.

There are numerous financial challenges to be faced in college when a student can't obtain grants and scholarships. You will have to pay for so many things among which are tuition and books. Just imagine how difficult it can be for students who also have to pay living expenses because they have to live apart from their families while in college.
grants and scholarships can be the last resort especially for those who have so many courses and are paying their bills at the same time. You need to be determined at the start because it may not be easy to get a free college grant
Depending on which would be more convenient, the student may apply for either the private or federal grants and scholarships. In the case of Federal grants, the grants are provided by the government. Private students loans aren't backed up by the government, your rates will be based on your credit records and you will have to pay higher interest rates then the Federal grants and scholarships which are totally free.
Subsidized and unsubsidized rates are available for students obtaining grants and scholarships. Added interest will only occur on a student loan if someone else will pay for that loan while the student is still in school. What this means is that you can be sure that no interest is accumulating while you are still enrolled in school.
On the other hand, unsubsidized interest rates will have your interest climbing while you are still a student. Added to the original balance borrowed, will be the accrued interest if not paid immediately however more time will be spared to allow for payment.
You can't get a federal grant without a FAFSA form bearing all your necessary information. You may also have to fill a college scholarship profile application form. These forms aren't likely to create big holes in your financial pockets.
Find out more information about how you are able to take advantage ofgrants to go back to school and useful resource aboutback to school grants for women .

Before the Georgia Public Service Commission
Docket Number 15640-U
Standards for Determining Whether Natural Gas Prices Are
Constrained by Market Forces
Comment of the Staff of the
Bureau of Economics and the Office of the General Counsel
Federal Trade Commission(1)
I. Introduction
The staff of the Bureau of Economics and of the Office of the General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) appreciates this opportunity to present its views to the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC) about the GPSC's proposed standards for determining whether prices for natural gas paid by retail customers are "constrained by market forces" and, when they are not, for determining whether they are "significantly higher than such prices would be if they were constrained by market forces."(2) In addition to the provisions regarding price levels, the GPSC's proposals(3) and the authorizing statute(4) provide for a separate rebuttable presumption that retail market conditions are not competitive if more than 90 percent of firm retail customers in a specific delivery group are served by three or fewer retail marketers. The GPSC may intervene in retail natural gas pricing if either set of conditions is satisfied.(5)
We offer views on the GPSC's proposal from the perspective of the FTC's fundamental mission of preserving competition in the marketplace. Our competitive analysis framework is presented in the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission Horizontal Merger Guidelines (Horizontal Merger Guidelines).(6) Competition is the cornerstone of our economy. Where there is vigorous competition among sellers, consumers are likely to benefit from lower prices, higher quality, wider variety, and greater innovation.
The FTC is an independent administrative agency responsible for maintaining competition and safeguarding the interests of consumers. The staff of the FTC often analyzes regulatory or legislative proposals that may affect competition in this industry, in addition to its review of proposed mergers involving electric and gas utility companies. In the course of this work, as well as in antitrust research, investigation, and litigation, the staff applies established principles and recent developments in economic theory and empirical analysis of competition issues.
FTC staff has commented extensively on the market power issues raised by state retail restructuring plans for the electric power industry. Many of the issues confronting state regulators as they move from a regulated monopoly model to a competitive model for retail sales of electricity also are present in restructuring retail sales of natural gas. The Commission has released two Staff Reports (July 2000 and September 2001) on electric power market restructuring issues at the wholesale and retail levels. The July 2000 FTC Staff Report established a policy framework for increased competition in wholesale and retail electric power markets.(7) The September 2001 FTC Staff Report reviewed those features of state retail competition plans that have provided benefits to consumers and those that have not. It also provided recommendations as to whether states had sufficient authority to implement successful retail competition programs.(8) The FTC also has reviewed proposed mergers involving natural gas pipelines and those involving electric and gas utility companies.
The FTC has conducted several investigations involving the natural gas industry that have focused on market power issues. The most recent, publicly disclosed case of this type involved a proposed merger between an electric power distributor (DTE) and a natural gas distributor (MichCon) that both serve the Detroit, Michigan, area.(9) The case was settled with a consent agreement by which the acquirer, DTE, divested a perpetual right to use a portion of MichCon's natural gas distribution system in the Detroit area to a new entrant. The settlement was modeled on release capacity arrangements, which were effectively implemented previously for interstate natural gas pipelines.
In addition, the Commission has recently concluded two investigations of competition in certain gasoline markets. Some aspects of market structure and market dynamics in gasoline markets may be similar to those in the Georgia retail natural gas industry. In March 2001, using the competition analysis principles in the Horizontal Merger Guidelines, the Commission completed an investigation of a spike in reformulated gasoline (RFG) prices that was observed in several Midwest states during the spring and summer of 2000.(10) In May 2001, the Commission closed an investigation of West Coast gasoline markets designed to determine whether observed price differences between metropolitan areas, service disruptions, and abrupt price increases at the refiner, wholesale, and retail levels were the result of illegal conduct by the West Coast refiners.(11)
II. Background of the Proposed Standards
In 1997, the Georgia Legislature established a new regulatory model in Georgia's retail natural gas industry. The Legislature allowed regulated vertically integrated natural gas utilities to unbundle distribution functions from retail sales. "When a company elects to unbundle its distribution and sales functions, as Atlanta Gas Light Company (AGLC) did, the industry is effectively separated into two sectors. One sector, the distribution infrastructure and operations, is assumed to retain the natural monopoly characteristics that require traditional regulation, while the other sector, commodity sales, is assumed to be potentially competitive."(12) In retail commodity sales, prices for natural gas are determined by competition rather than set by regulation. After many reported ups and downs associated with being the first state in the Nation to remove the distribution utility from the natural gas merchant function, the marketplace had winnowed the number of major competing retail marketers in Georgia to four by early 2002.(13)
In April 2002, the Legislature amended the statutory framework governing the regulation of the retail natural gas industry (HB 1568) to address many of the reported problems that had surfaced in the first several years of deregulation. Among other things, it established a default service provider for certain classes of customers and provided customers with a "bill of rights" for natural gas services. The Legislature also authorized the GPSC temporarily to reimpose price regulation on natural gas marketers if prices "are not generally constrained by market forces."(14) The legislation includes a rebuttable presumption that market conditions are not competitive - and thus that retail prices are significantly higher than they would be if they were constrained by market forces - if more than 90 percent of the consumers in a specified delivery group (e.g., residential consumers) are served by three or fewer marketers.(15) This measure of market structure is a three-firm concentration ratio.
Aside from the rebuttable three-firm 90 percent market share screen for market power, the legislation identified additional circumstances in which intervention by the GPSC is authorized. It permits the GPSC to adopt standards for determining whether prices paid by retail customers are "not constrained by market forces" and are "significantly higher than such prices would be if they were constrained by market forces." Under the GPSC's proposal, retail natural gas prices will be viewed as not constrained by market forces if "reasonably prudent" firm retail customers(16) in a specific retail delivery group are substantially harmed by market power. The present matter is the third phase of the GPSC's proceedings to determine the standards to implement this aspect of the legislation.
The GPSC proposes to intervene "as narrowly as possible" in retail pricing of natural gas if it finds that prices paid by a specific retail customer delivery group are "not constrained by market forces" and if it finds that prices are "significantly higher" than they would be if constrained by market forces. In the first stage of its analysis to determine if prices are constrained by market forces, the GPSC may take into account barriers to customer switching, the degree to which alternative choices exist, and the amount of information available to these retail customers about alternative choices.
In the second stage of its analysis to determine if prices are substantially higher than competitive prices and harmful to the affected customers, the GPSC will determine whether one of three price triggers is reached: (1) prices exceed a competitive benchmark by 20 percent over the prior 12 months; (2) prices exceed a competitive benchmark by 30 percent over the prior three months; or (3) current prices exceed a competitive benchmark by 50 percent. The GPSC does not state specifically how it will calculate the competitive benchmark, but it provides a list of cost factors, comparisons to prices in other jurisdictions, and business risk factors that it may consider in making such a determination.
III. The GPSC's Intervention Should Be Narrow and Short-Lived
We recognize the substantial impact that the exercise of supplier market power can have on consumers, and we agree that regulatory intervention, if any, to address this situation should be as narrow as possible. During the transition from a regulated to a deregulated environment, consumers are likely to learn to be more effective shoppers for a commodity that was previously regulated. In addition, during this period potential suppliers may not yet have entered.(17) If the GPSC adopts the present proposal or a modification of it, the GPSC may wish to consider conducting a sunset review of these provisions once the transition period is over.(18)
For purposes of this comment, we take no position on the statutory provision establishing the rebuttable three-firm 90 percent market share screen. We do observe, however, that the competitive implications of high concentration among firms in a market depend critically on other conditions in the market. Under the Horizontal Merger Guidelines, the presumption that high concentration is associated with market power is often rebutted by evidence that entry is timely, likely, and sufficient(19) or that anticompetitive effects are unlikely for other reasons, such as the ability of smaller incumbent suppliers to expand output quickly.(20) Either of these may make efforts to exercise market power unprofitable.(21) In addition, market share and market concentration data may either underestimate or overestimate the likely state of competition in a market.(22)
Although we do not take a position on the costs and benefits of triggered reimposition of price regulation in the Georgia retail natural gas industry, a couple of years ago we argued to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that regulatory caps on prices are likely to have significant costs because they tend to curtail entry and reduce investment incentives.(23) Diminished entry and investment incentives, in turn, are likely to lead to reduced supply and higher market-determined prices.
If the GPSC determines to move forward with provisions for triggered intervention in retail natural gas prices, such intervention should be as narrow and short-lived as possible. To accomplish this, the GPSC may wish to avoid interventions that exceed the time necessary for effective entry to take place. One of the principal risks of intervening to limit retail price increases is that the intervention will be more severe and last longer than necessary to alleviate a short-term exercise of market power. Long-term and drastic price interventions are particularly likely to suppress market signals that otherwise would elicit new entry as well as expansions of capacity and output by incumbent firms. Consequently, the unintended outcome of a too-drastic intervention may be to increase or to entrench market power.
IV. The GPSC's Proposed "Prudent Customer" Standard Should Accurately Reflect Customer Behavior
The GPSC's proposal to use a "prudent customer" standard for assessing whether prices are constrained by market forces should accurately identify circumstances in which the exercise of significant market power is likely. In assessing market power issues, one should focus on whether a sufficient number of customers would switch to other sources of supply in response to a significant anticompetitive price increase, so that the price increase would be unprofitable. This involves an empirical investigation of how consumers behave. Thus, the "prudent customer" standard should incorporate whether this behavior would occur. One of the virtues of markets is that the actions of a relatively small share of customers who would switch in response to price increases often protect other customers - potentially even the majority of customers - who may not have the same ability or willingness to switch.(24)
Because customer choices can have dramatic effects on efforts by incumbent suppliers to exercise market power, the GPSC may wish to evaluate impediments to customer choice. Important issues to consider include barriers to customer switching, the degree to which alternative choices exist, and the amount of information available to retail customers about such alternatives. The GPSC may wish to expand this list or expand its discussion of alternatives to include entry conditions. This would signal to marketers and potential entrants that the GPSC recognizes how entry can dramatically increase customer choices in the face of efforts by one or more incumbent suppliers to exercise market power.
V. Link Market Power Concerns to Structural Remedies and Customer Price Sensitivity, Not Just Behavioral Remedies
The GPSC's proposal contemplates a temporary return to retail price regulation if (under the criteria it adopts) the GPSC determines that suppliers are exercising substantial market power. Price regulation is a behavioral remedy for market power that leaves in place incentives to exercise market power. Our experience in antitrust law enforcement and competition advocacy suggests that structural remedies are preferable to behavioral remedies because the former change suppliers' incentives and are, therefore, largely self-enforcing.(25) Structural remedies change the competitive dynamics of a market by changing the number or relative positions of firms, either directly or by reducing impediments to entry. Accordingly, if the GPSC finds evidence of market power problems, it may wish to review its policies that affect market structure.(26) In particular, if the GPSC finds evidence of nontransitory market power in retail natural gas markets, it may wish to examine whether its policies (or those of other regulatory bodies) are impeding entry or discouraging investments that would increase competition by adding new retail suppliers or removing supply bottlenecks.
Similarly, the GPSC may wish to bolster customers' ability to defend themselves against market power. Policies to improve customer information, and to reduce regulatory lags and costs for customers switching to marketers with lower prices, can serve this purpose by making customers more sensitive to prices, which would increase the price elasticity of demand. A higher price elasticity of demand will reduce the profitability of a retailer's efforts to exercise market power through higher prices.
VI. Conclusion
The GPSC proposes a two-step analysis that may trigger its temporary intervention in retail natural gas markets. In the first phase, the GPSC proposes to assess whether prudent retail customers would be harmed by suppliers' efforts to exercise market power. We suggest that in assessing the likelihood of significant market power, the GPSC should consider not only market concentration but also the extent to which an anticompetitive price increase would cause consumers to reduce their purchases from the larger incumbents, smaller sellers to expand, and new sellers to enter. In the second phase, the GPSC would assess how actual prices compare to a competitive benchmark. We suggest that if the GPSC has evidence of substantial, nontransitory market power in retail natural gas markets, it should consider structural remedies. In particular, the GPSC may wish to review policies that may maintain supply bottlenecks by impeding entry or investments. Regulations affecting customer access to pricing information and switching costs are also likely to be relevant.

4. HB 1568, "Natural Gas Consumers' Relief Act," § 13 (enacted Apr. 25, 2002).
5. The intervention could take the form of price regulation applied to retail marketers (NOPR, § 515-7-12-.01(2)) or mandatory vertical integration of the regulated natural gas distribution firm into regulated retail commodity sales (NOPR, § 515-7-12-.01(1)).

9. The FTC was concerned that the merger would reduce competition (for example, by reducing discounts offered by MichCon to customers contemplating investments in on-site electricity generation fueled by natural gas), because DTE and MichCon competed against each other for customers who have a choice between distribution services for electricity or natural gas. The case, its issues, and the innovative terms of settlement are described in John C. Hilke, Convergence Mergers, A Competitive Settlement for Detroit, 14 Electricity Journal 13 (Oct. 2001).
10. Midwest Gasoline Price Investigation, Final Report of the Federal Trade Commission (Mar. 29, 2001), available at <http://www.ftc.gov/os/2001/03/mwgasrpt.htm>. In its report, the Commission noted the price spike "appears to have been caused by a mixture of structural and operating decisions made previously (high capacity utilization, low inventory levels, the choice of ethanol as an oxygenate), unexpected occurrences (pipeline breaks, production difficulties), errors by refiners in forecasting industry supply (misestimating supply, slow reactions), and decisions by some firms to maximize their short-term profits (curtailing production, keeping available supply off the market)." Id. at 3. The Commission found no credible evidence of collusion or other anticompetitive conduct by the oil industry in its investigation of the price spike in the Midwest.
11. FTC Press Release: FTC Closes Western States Gasoline Investigation (May 7, 2001), available at <http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/05/westerngas.htm>. In this matter, the Commission was asked to investigate solely whether there was an antitrust violation. The investigation produced no evidence of conduct that violates the antitrust laws.
12. GPSC Staff White Paper, § I (Jan. 2003). One novel feature of the Georgia restructuring was that all retail customers selected or were assigned to a merchant natural gas supplier. No provider-of-last-resort arrangement was provided for customers who did not select a merchant supplier on their own.
13. Blue Ribbon Natural Gas Task Force, Final Report at 9 (Feb. 5, 2002). Several smaller retail marketers also are active in Georgia. These include two recent entries by electrical cooperatives under the provisions of HB 1568, § 20.
14. HB 1568, § 13. This legislative language is reflected in NOPR, § 515-7-12-.01(1)(b), (2), and (4).
15. HB 1568, §13; NOPR, § 515-7-12-.01(3) reflects this aspect of the legislation.
16. A "firm" retail customer is one whose supply contract does not allow for interruptible service (where the supplier curtails deliveries under a variety of circumstances, usually in return for a lower price on deliveries that do occur). A customer with the latter type of contract is termed an "interruptible" customer.
17. Entry delays may result in high concentration when a market first opens. Some entrants' efforts to attract customers may take time to be effective, and some potential entrants may wait to enter until after initial regulatory uncertainties are resolved.
18. A sunset review may be particularly appropriate as some retail marketers work increasingly over time to differentiate themselves from other retail marketers. This product differentiation could be based, for example, on the quality of service or on service innovations. With such product differentiation, prices may increase because customers prefer retail marketers that offer better or innovative services, even if they charge higher prices. For example, some marketers may offer a service that bundles commodity sales with insurance against volatility in natural gas prices. When natural gas prices are below historic averages, the price of this bundled product could far exceed prices that do not include an insurance component. If such bundled services become popular, it could lead in the future to actual prices that exceed the trigger prices but do not reflect an exercise of market power. If such differentiation becomes a prominent feature in Georgia retail natural gas sales, the proposed approach may become an impediment to satisfying customer preferences.
19. Horizontal Merger Guidelines, § 3.
20. Id., § 2.212.
21. Id., §§ 1.521 and 3.
22. For example, changing market conditions may indicate that the current market share of a particular firm understates or overstates its future competitive significance. This is illustrated by a firm that does not have access to new technology that is important to long-term viability of market participants. In this instance, the current share of the firm in question is likely to overstate its future competitive significance. Id., § 1.521. Similarly, the closeness of substitutes outside the market may affect the significance of a particular concentration measure. Where a wide gap in the chain of demand substitutes occurs at the edge of the product and geographic markets, more market power is at stake in the relevant market than in a market in which a hypothetical monopolist would find it profitable to raise price by a small amount (5 percent). Id., § 1.522.
23. Comment of the Staff of the Bureau of Economics and of Policy Planning, FERC Docket Nos. EL00-95-000 et al. (Nov. 22, 2000), available at <http://www.ftc.gov/be/v000015.pdf>.
24. For a discussion of consumer self-defense in the context of electricity retail markets, see John C. Hilke, A Consumer Self-Defense Perspective on Electricity Markets, 33 Loy. U. Chi. L.J. 805 (2002). This limitation on the exercise of market power provided by the switching of a small share of customers is less likely to protect other customers if suppliers can profitably price discriminate.
25. We have identified four principal concerns about relying on behavioral market monitoring approaches to remedying market power. First, many exercises of market power are likely to be difficult to detect and document. Second, behavioral rules will not eliminate incentives to exercise market power. Third, behavioral rules create a risk that certain procompetitive (or competitively neutral) behavior will be misidentified as anticompetitive, thus chilling competition and increasing administrative and litigation costs. Finally, focusing on behavioral remedies may divert attention from structural remedies that have the potential to address market power with greater certainty and lower costs to consumers. See FTC Staff Comment, FERC, Docket No. PL98-5-000 (Inquiry Concerning Independent System Operators) (May 1, 1998), available at <http://www.ftc.gov/be/hilites/isodraf3.htm>.
26. Such policy reviews could be carried out periodically as well as when specific market power concerns arise.

Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -

Some state legislators are looking to ensure that women don't lose insurance coverage for abortion under federal health care reforms.
The proposed legislation, dubbed the Reproductive Parity Act, would require any health insurance plan sold in Washington that covers maternity care to also cover the voluntary termination of a pregnancy.
In practice, the bill wouldn't change much since the state's health plans that cover maternity care do also cover abortions, said Stephanie Marquis, spokeswoman for the state Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
But sponsors worry that could change under the federal Affordable Care Act, which does not require insurance companies to cover abortions. Insurers could drop abortion coverage, said Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, sponsor of Senate Bill 5009.
Seventeen states have passed legislation restricting insurance coverage for abortion in the state insurance exchanges that will be launched in 2014 under Obamacare, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
If Washington passes the Reproductive Parity Act, it would be taking the opposite route.
"What we want to make sure is that the women of Washington state don't lose any of their rights as we move into health care reform," said Rep. Eileen Cody, a West Seattle Democrat who chairs the House Health Care & Wellness Committee. Cody is sponsoring House Bill 1044, the House version of the legislation.
"Just because you put the word abortion anywhere, it's controversial," Cody said. "It's not controversial in any real way of changing things."
Yet the Reproductive Parity Act has already caused a stir among Republicans, who objected to Gov. Jay Inslee's enthusiastic support for it during his inaugural address last week. After Inslee's speech, House Minority Leader Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, said that Inslee turned a moment of unity into one of division by bringing up "special-interest politics."
"Reproductive parity is way off my radar," DeBolt said that day. "We are focused on the budget, jobs, public safety and education. I know it's all they do is social issues, that's how their bread is buttered. But we represent the people who want jobs."
Abortion rights have the spotlight at the Capitol this week. About 90 teens from Planned Parenthood's Teen Council showed up Monday to advocate for the bill and other reproductive rights issues. Opponents of the bill expect thousands of pro-life demonstrators at today's annual March for Life rally.

The Museum of Bad Art - Masterworks by Michael Frank, Louise Reilly Sacco, 128 pages, size 6 x 8 inches, hardcover
Possibly the most highly anticipated bad art sequel of the century. MOBA - Masterworks is now available.
Located in the basement of a theater, the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) is a unique institution dedicated to the celebration of artistic effort, however misguided. The Museum of Bad Art: Masterworks presents a pulsating collection of more than seventy never-before-published pieces of artwork from MOBA's permanent collection. Comprised largely of canvases found discarded on curbside trash piles or obtained for a pittance at thrift stores, this innovative compilation occupies a niche previously ignored in the international community of art collection, preservation, and interpretation. If the subjectivity of art appreciation were ever in doubt, this astonishing assortment of artistic commentaries will fan the flames of controversy. It is clear that many of these artists suffered for their art; now it's your turn.
About the Authors
Michael Frank is the curator-in-chief of the Museum of Bad Art. A professional musician and entertainer with enviable balloon-twisting skills. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
Louise Reilly Sacco is the permanent acting interim executive director of the Museum of Bad Art. A founding member of the MOBA team, she originally served as director of financial enablement. A marketing consultant and cohost of the Frugal Yankee Radio Hour, Louise lives in Needham, Massachusetts.

The ferris wheel and tilt-a-whirl are just a few of the favorites. Aaron Mueller of Wausau had trouble making a top choice.
"This tornado thing is pretty good and this Star Ship 9,000 is pretty good too," he said. His friend Alex Pellowski agreed and said he likes the tilt-a-whirl and star ship, as well.
There are approximately 22 rides at the carnival. This is the 4th year that North American Midway Entertainment in putting on the show.
They have been open this year since February and have been traveling around the country bringing their carnival to many different cities. When the fair leaves Wausau they will travel to the Illinois State Fair and then the Kansas State Fair.
"What goes into the carnival is a lot of organization" says Pat Repp, General Manager of North American Midway Entertainment. "All of our employees have been extensively trained on their positions here."
Repp says Wausau is as far north as they travel, but that they love the area.

Wow, no surprise here. Can someone, anyone, please tell Boehner it is time to resign.Just go away.
Is Pete King a conservative only when the money is needed somewhere else?Christy?Get the pork out of the bill first,then vote on it.Storm relief isn´t the federal governments job anyway.
Could it be that this was his plan all along and that it´s not an "about face" at all? Could it be he wanted to deal with the "fiscal cliff", get it off his plate, then immediately get cracking on Sandy aid?
Shouldn´t get one dime. If you need flood insurance, get out your local Yellow Pages and call one of the phone numbers.Plus, see how NJ Transit lost hundreds of millions of dollars of railroad cars because they left them in the flood plain. NYC Police did something as stupid as well with one of their auto impound facilities.Why reward incompetence?
But I thought all these celebrities solved al, the Sandy problems with their stupid concert...
To be fair, Christie threatened to eat him.
Typical. If $10 billion will do, throw $60 billion at it. And if anyone objects then they are just cruel and heartless. Just a fine example of why we are in the financial mess we are in.And it appears the only way to ever right this sinking liberaalized ship is for it all to collapse.So don´t be too scared. Whatever we must go through will simply be what must happen when the parasite of liberalism finds a host and sucks the lifeblood out of it.As it always does. It´s coming.
This is why Secession isn´t such a bad idea!
Pork, pork, pork...so sick of the waste. Our congresscritters do not represent the interest of the taxpayers.
A lesson about insurance:Insurance for your home is purchased from the company of your choice, for fire, theft, etc. In my state, an additional Hurrican policy can be purchased, again from the company of choice..it is expensive, and carries a 2% of total value of home deductible.Flood insurance is NOT sold by insurance companies, but can be purchased from FEMA.I carry all three and pay the premiums.My understanding is that FEMA has not paid a single claim in NJ or NY after 66 days.
Can you imagine the outrage at Bush if that situation had been going on after Katrina #11? Maybe King and Boehner need to direct their ire at Obama and FEMA instead of ripping off the taxpayers with another edition of the pork express.
#11, thanks for the lesson on insurance but I can´t afford the insurance because the payment on my BMW consumes too much of my discretionary funds.Well, I guess that´s not the whole reason. We like to eat out often at Ruth´s Chris Steakhouse, too. And then there´s my wife´s penchant for shopping at Neiman´s and our need to vacation in Europe every year. Oh, and there´s that pesky house payment, itself, which we could only qualify for through shenanigans.Those, #11, are the reasons you need to pay for my loss instead of expecting me to cover it myself. God you´re heartless, #11.
There were too many riders (pork) on the bill, for GitMo, Alaska, Ohio, Georgia. And this was the week when the GOP was trying to limit spending!The Speaker has promised to start presenting another bill tomorrow and I believe him.And...why hasn´t FEMA paid out any money yet? Are they expecting the taxpayers to bail out the NE?
For the people that had flood insurance, FEMA is responsible to make payment to them.
I get the feeling that if you think Boehner is wrong then you approve the billions of pork that was stuffed into the bill.Well, I don´t approve of it and think those responsible should be held accountable. Let them be the ones to explain to those waiting for help as to why they aren´t getting it.
Maybe it should be paid for by Obamacare as a preexisting condition.
Boehner has to go.
Boehner can´t even stand for his own descisions. As for GOP outrage in NY or New Jersey, they seemed pretty content when the storms were elsewhere.
Cute single obammey, will let you do it bannie? Remember the kneepads!
Everyone has their hand out to the American voter. We have become a nation of beggars. Personal responsibility has gone by the wayside. The choices you make regarding where you want to live has consequences. I can´t understand why some Americans are more equal than others. Some parts of the country receive aid and others get nothing. Who make these decisions? One thing is for cetain these aid bills need to stand alone.
I think it is important to remember that this is all George W. Bush´s fault. After all, if Brownie had not left FEMA in such bad shape during and after Katrina, then The Won would not have inherited this FEMA mess that he is "hard at work" to clean up and make right. Had Bush done the job correctly Ears would have more time to jet to Hawaii and play golf with his fellow problem solvers. As it is he has to give up multiple rounds of golf each week in order to focus on the TOTUS, solver of all Bush problems. Had Bush had such a miracle device as the All Knowing, All Seeing TOTUS, then all would be right with the United States as The Won leads us to the Marxist promised land.
Gosh the man does change his mind like the wind blowing. He is always going to stand firm on something and then he caves, wish washy. As far as the aid bill for hurricane Sandy clean it up remove all the pork.Hurricanes, in my area,are a fact of life. Buy insurance and if you live in a flood zone buy flood insurance. On some policies you can add a rider for cost of living coverage when an incident occurs that makes your home uninhabitable.
Give them nothing. They got what they voted for. As a matter of fact raise their taxes while you´re at it.
One of my former graduate students works at FEMA. And when I asked her why katrina ´victims´ are still dispersed around the U.S., living in hotels, all expenses paid, she said ´because they have lawyers.´If people choose to live on or near the water, and fail to have proper insurance, why should my tax money go to them?? Anyone have an answer for that?
#16, if you are referring to the Congress´s actions, it is simple as to why there are still people ´waiting for help´.Government sucks at doing, and when your Governor is ADDICTED to Federal dollars and has NO CLUE how to govern or lead this is what you get.Maybe, just maybe my fellow NJ´ers can follow the lead of the Missippian´s example and GET OFF THEIR ARSES AND GET WORKING.Or, sit there in your FEMA motel and complain. I guess I know what the neutered American Males will choose.Never again let me hear that somoeone is OWED respect, if you are sucking off of your baby momma´s Welfare teat, you are worthy of NOTHING.You are a leech, and as such are lower than worm dirt.
Lol @#6
DPA:#16, I was not calling you a leech, that was a general diatribe.

No, I had a nice fuck this morning and I aint switching any time soon. Sorry
just like i like my pussy...bloody
Like 3 grains of salt, a moderate amount of fresh ground pepper, and Medium/Medium-Well.....preferably, grilled/semi-smoked with Mesquite.... shitloads of juice.....and a baked tater about the size of a watermelon, with crispy crunchy skin......
sea salt n pepper
medium rare
then brushed with garlic butter
Medium, blackened, with cognac butter sauce.
Preservation through destruction.
I'm an asshole.....I like mine well done. Prefer slightly crisp over pink. A bit of pepper and garlic are a bonus.
medium rare would be the standard, ribeyes I'd go a little closer to medium to cook the fat, filet mignon I like rare
salt & pepper brushed with a little oil or butter
Medium rare, what else ya need ta know?
is pretty cool
medium rare, I want it to moo when I cut it...
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Between rare and medium rare...locally sourced beef, from cows who live in pastures...lightly sprinkled with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper....grilled over a mild wood or charcoal.
I made this, the perfect filet mignon, with homemade garlic bread(which I made from scratch), and an heirloom tomato topped with bleu cheese crumbles. It was so delightful....
Get off my back, Babylon!
