Surburban Showdown
Where Middle Of The Road Is The Way To Go
Lawrence C. Levy
Wednesday September 27, 2000
Return to Table of Contents
NORRISTOWN, Pa.-This is a poor town the suburbs forgot, in a rich county that is also forgetting the Republican Party.
Once the hub of Montgomery County, Norristown has suffered while other Philadelphia bedroom 'burbs have soared on malls and office centers and a stream of politically independent young families who, ironically, want less of all. That has come to include a little less of what many see as the GOP's overly pro-growth and antiprivacy agenda, from the party's perceived weakness on protecting the environment to its zealousness against abortion rights.
Like Hempstead Village on Long Island and other ragged camps on the Crabgrass Frontier, Norristown is an ex-ception to the rule of suburban prosperity. The fabled Main Line crashes here. Gone are the mills on the Schuylkill River that kept Main Street shops and bars filled after the pay envelopes were opened. A generation later, welfare does-n't go as far as a good union job. Now, many stores remain boarded, while the nearby Plymouth Meeting mall is bus-tling.
The only thing trickling down is the rain that runs off the hills past ramshackle houses and rotting factories, as it did Saturday when ministers and politicians marched for "community renewal." Among those gathered for an opening prayer outside Holy Saviour Church was Joe Hoeffel, an exception to what is still a rule of suburban politics: GOP con-trol of local, state and federal elections.
Hoeffel, 50, is a Democratic congressman in a district that is 3-2 Republican and where the GOP holds most of-fices, even in Norristown. This is a seat the Democrats must retain as part of their plan to retake control of Congress.
But he can't win unless he gets Republican and independent voters. And in trying to satisfy more fiscally conserva-tive suburban constituents and more socially liberal Democratic powerbrokers, Hoeffel has put himself potentially at risk. (For instance, he opposed the marriage-penalty tax and permanent normal trade status for China, sticking with un-ions and Democratic leaders and, on the trade issue, going against his local Chamber of Commerce and his party's own popular president.) And considering he is a freshman and faces an accomplished moderate, he should be vulnerable.
But Hoeffel doesn't seem to be. Judging by the relatively slow pace of the race, the unexpected weakness of George W. Bush at the top of the ticket and the paucity of spending by special interests, including the parties' national committees, it is shaping up as surprisingly uncompetitive.
And even polite: Dressed for the march in a weekend boomer uniform of khakis, sneakers, a brightly colored sport shirt and baseball cap, Hoeffel was holding an umbrella for a silver-haired man in a tailored suit who looked like he could be a corporate contributor. They were talking not about money, but about a pie-eating contest they were sched-uled to judge at a town fair.
"Have you met Senator Greenleaf?" Hoeffel asked me. That's Greenleaf, as in Republican State Sen. Stewart Greenleaf-Hoeffel's opponent.
If it is more civil than most campaigns, at least so far, it is no casual affair. And it is no cinch, either. Greenleaf's 22 years in the state house, where he is known as a tough-on-crime fiscal conservative but also a supporter of abortion rights, gun control and environmental protection, makes him a credible threat. Ten years ago, no doubt, Greenleaf would have been as certain a winner as a post-Christmas sale at King of Prussia mall.
Hoeffel also knows that if Bush were doing better or if the popular Gov. Tom Ridge had been chosen as his run-ning mate, this race might be scaring the Democratic leaders in Washington.
Now, save for something dramatic, Republicans here also could lose enough suburban state seats to give control of a now-deadlocked lower legislative house to the Democrats. That, in turn, would give the party the power to redraw congressional and legislative district lines that could secure Democratic power for a decade.
One of the great political sea changes of the past decade is that Montgomery, like other suburban counties, is now competitive. The biggest reasons are shifts in demographics (they're more ethnically and racially diverse, thus more Democratic) and changes in the images of the two major parties (the GOP has been seen as tilting toward extremism and a good economic run under Bill Clinton has made Democrats seem more responsible). Like many of its sister dis-tricts, Pennsylvania's 13th has not made up its mind between the parties. None, in fact, has changed its mind more.
In 1992, Clinton's moderate mantra and Pat Buchanan's conservative rhetoric made the Democratic Party safe for this and other cautious suburbs. And after the retirement of a long-time incumbent, voters here elected a Democrat to Congress for the first time in 25 years, TV reporter Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky. But, in 1994, after breaking a very public pledge against raising taxes, she was defeated by Jon Fox in the Republican Revolution.
By 1996, after the Newt Gingrich-led shutdown of government and other tactics to promote a conservative agenda, suburbia was reminded of why it had been shying away from Republicans. Baby boomers, with growing children and aging parents, did not want to see government dismantled. They moved from cities for the sort of services government provides-schools, cops, parks and nursing care-and didn't mind paying for them. What they wanted was value for their money. So they went big for Clinton in Montgomery and other suburbs. And they re-elected Fox, who voted with the conservative leadership to slash funds for popular programs, by only 84 votes.
"The leaders never understood suburban voters," said Fox, who is now practicing and teaching law. "They didn't seem to realize that seats like mine were what kept them in power."
The Democrat whom Fox beat in 1996 was Hoeffel, then a county commissioner. Two years later, as voters con-tinued to reject Republican policies and the party's pursuit of Clinton for lying about Monica Lewinsky, Hoeffel beat Fox by almost 10,000 votes, and he hasn't stopped running.
Whether it is his "Saturdays with Joe" gripe sessions or popping up at every parade, prayer meeting or town fair, Hoeffel has been ubiquitous. "Independent voters want to see energy and commitment," Hoeffel said. Even if they don't agree with you on every position, "they want to see that you understand and care what they care about."
For Hoeffel and other Democrats, such as Long Island Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, staying an incumbent in Republi-can-friendly suburbs means a balancing act between competing forces that risks alienating everybody. Voting against Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China-which could benefit a district rich with exporters- makes him vulnerable to the charge that he is a typical "pro-union, antibusiness liberal." Nixing the repeal of the marriage penalty raises the spectre of a "tax-and-spender," a label that has killed Democrats for decades.
Surviving in a suburb also means knowing when to stay close to the president and when to run away. Hoeffel has done both. During his 1998 bid, he refused to attend a Clinton fund-raiser in Philly, saying he didn't want the president's troubles to "distract" from his own campaign. This year, Clinton raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for him-even after Hoeffel dissed him again by voting against the China trade bill.
But as much as Hoeffel needs the president, he understands that the president needs him for his own legacy. So do congressional Democrats, if they want to control Congress. The question is whether the Democrats have learned from the mistakes of the Republicans who pushed their suburban members to a less centrist agenda.
Ask Jon Fox. Watch Joe Hoeffel.

Tagged: WTO
The European Union is contradicting world trade rules by putting the interests of big drug companies before the 2 billion people in the world who cannot access essential medicines, according to a new report issued today by Oxfam International and Health Action International Europe.
The United States today has lost a battle in its dispute over cotton subsidies with Brazil at the World Trade Organization (WTO), said international organization Oxfam.
World trade rules will not be reformed in the interests of poor countries despite this month's G8+5's commitment to finalize the stagnant Doha trade talks by 2010.
The reported breakdown of world trade talks was caused by rich countries offering too little and making unreasonable demands in return.
As negotiations continued at the WTO in Geneva, international agency Oxfam said that developing countries must not be blamed for delay or possible breakdown of the talks.
The deal emerging in WTO talks has some serious flaws and falls far short of the pro-development reform that was originally promised, said international agency Oxfam today.
Trade reform that puts poor countries first is desperately needed in the face of rising food and fuel prices and global economic insecurity. But current offers at the WTO would make the situation worse and undermine development.
The rich world's response to the global food crisis has been inadequate and at times hypocritical. World leaders must set out a plan for a much more comprehensive response at the G8 in Japan this week.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
In a press release sent out by Disney this morning, the company announced that 'Iron Man 3' will actually be co-produced in collaboration with Walt Disney China. In and of itself, that seems like a pretty boring announcement - companies often join forces with their international branches to fund films, particularly ones that they intend to ship overseas. However, the real shocker comes in the very last line of the announcement, wherein it states that filming will begin here in the states in only a matter of weeks, and then "begin location filming in China" in the late summer. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves here, but with rumors of the third film borrowing heavily from the much-lauded 'Extremis' arc of the comics already hinting that the next major villain will be Tony's archnemesis The Mandarin, and with this announcement that they will be filming in China for at least some of the production, it's a very good chance that the rumors may have something to them after all. Here is the press announcement, in its entirety:
Shanghai/ Beijing and Los Angeles, CA – The Walt Disney Company China, Marvel Studios and DMG Entertainment today announced the intention to co-produce IRON MAN 3 in China. Under the arrangement, DMG Entertainment will make an investment in the production of IRON MAN 3, manage the Chinese co-production process, and jointly produce the film in China. The Chinese portion of IRON MAN 3's production will run through DMG Entertainment in coordination with Marvel Studios' production and creative teams. DMG will also distribute IRON MAN 3 in China in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company China.
IRON MAN 3 will be the third movie in the billion-dollar plus franchise from Marvel and stars a returning cast including Robert Downey Jr. (as billionaire inventor Tony Stark) Gwyneth Paltrow (as Pepper Potts) and Don Cheadle (as James "Rhodey" Rhodes). IRON MAN 3 is produced by Kevin Feige and executive produced by Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Louis D'Esposito, Charles Newirth, Victoria Alonso, Stephen Broussard and Dan Mintz. The film is being directed by Shane Black who is working on the script with Drew Pearce. The film releases in the United States on May 3, 2013, and is being distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in all territories worldwide other than in China (which is being distributed by DMG Entertainment) and Germany/Austria (which is being distributed by the Tele München Group).
"The popularity of the Marvel franchise globally creates a huge opportunity to deliver fans yet another action packed film," said Stanley Cheung, Managing Director, The Walt Disney Company, Greater China. "The co-production of IRON MAN 3 in China is testimony to the importance of this audience to Disney and the local industry capability to deliver a blockbuster title," he added.
"We look forward to working alongside DMG to bring IRON MAN to the Chinese marketplace in a significant way. We are confident that Marvel's stories will continue to be enjoyed by Chinese audiences, and adding a local flavor, and working with our new local partner, will enhance the appeal and relevance of our characters in China's fast-growing film marketplace" said Rob Steffens, General Manager of Operations and Finance for Marvel Studios
"Our collaboration with Disney and Marvel marks a milestone in the global entertainment landscape, as this signifies the first multi-billion dollar franchise to be produced between Hollywood and China," said Dan Mintz, CEO of DMG Entertainment. "The IRON MAN franchise has been a major success worldwide, and we look forward to pushing the series to new heights with IRON MAN 3. The movie will further build upon its compelling storyline, and feature the hottest A-list stars, and spectacular action, which will resonate well both globally and in China, the second largest box office market in the world."
The first installment of IRON MAN lifted off with high-speed, high-flying action when jet-setting industrialist Tony Stark survives an unexpected attack and escapes by building a high-tech robotic suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Straight from the pages of the legendary comic book, Iron Man is a hero who is built—not born—to be unlike any other and made US$581 million at the global box office when released in 2008. Based on Marvel's iconic Super Hero, IRON MAN 2 continued the story of the 2008 summer box office blockbuster IRON MAN, and made US$624 million at the global box office when released in 2010 Now, IRON MAN 3 continues the story with a new chapter that will deliver more heart-pounding action than ever before. Marvel Studios' IRON MAN 3 will find Tony Stark with his back against the wall, facing his most fearsome foes yet.
Shooting is expected to commence in May in the United States and begin location filming in China in late summer 2012.

my friend is actually going to be working on this flick and its being filmed here in my town (wilmington,nc) If I spot Ben Kingsley with a fu-manchu mustache downtown or around town period, I will have all the answers I need!
Fin Fang Foom?
Nope. Totally not the Mandarin. We're just making it in cooperation with China, but it's totally not the Mandarin.
@Luke Hero: Yes, realistic....like having a nuclear reactor as a heart.
Fuck realism, this is a rich guy in power armor. Blow the fuck outta something!
It brings a whole new meaning to the term made in China...
But Luke, with the introduction of Thor and other Aliens into the mix with The Avengers I think people will be fine with the Mandarin as a villain.
They are not going to do the Madrian....the Iron Man movies have been about trying to do something realistic...I doubt this changes.....Spy Master, Dreadknight, or Maybe even Taskmaster would be some good choices
I guess China being a hell of a lot cheaper to produce a film in and with no unions to contend with doesn't hurt their cause either.
"I think it would be a return to the type of action movie I remember so fondly, which is less random carnage and more thriller -- less action, more suspense. More character-driven urgency that makes you want to find out what happens to the guy, not what happens to the building behind the guy. There's a certain retro vibe that I love which is the idea of taking modern technology and shot-making and even color palettes and injecting them with this sense of thriller-esque, 1970s stuff that makes it seem more edgy and accessible as opposed to just loud and obnoxious. That's kind of where I'm heading."

Does anyone have a good recipe for mostarda di Cremona or any Emilia Romagna mostarda? We just returned from ER and my wife loved this stuff, and we want to put some in our Christmas dinner tortelli di zucca!
She tried several internet recipes and none seemed to produce the syrupy, even runny, sharp mostarda we had in Zibello, Bologna, Modena, etc. The two recipes she tried produced a thick, jammy mostarda and most had mustard seed, which is not what we had there.
I did find a former post that discussed using "senape" instead of mustard. Is this "mustard oil" that we get in the U.S.? We definitely are looking for that punchy bite that the ones in ER had.
We especially would like a recipe that uses our apples. Of course, we can put apples in place of any fruit mentioned in the recipes.
I think you will find if you check the topic that the conclusion seems to be that senape and mustard oil are NOT interchangeable and that even in Italy senape is not easy to obtain. I recently spoke with someone who said it was available in Italy in pharmacies.

Andre Ethier excelling in contract year
Ethier is in the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's making $10.95 million. It usually isn't a coincidence to see a player put up a big year - if not a career year - as he heads into free agency, which is exactly what Ethier (.292/.353/.518) is doing.
Although Ethier expects to reach a long-term extension with the Blue, the fact that he's in a contract year doesn't hurt his push to prove his value after coming off a disappointing 2011 campaign.
A knee ailment - that required surgery in mid-September - bothered him throughout the season and led to a career-low 11 long balls and just 62 RBIs in 135 games last year. The bum knee also was largely responsible for a career-worst slugging percentage (.421) and fly-ball rate (31 percent).
Given Ethier's stability in BA and hit rate in the years before his injury-plagued 2011, he was a safe bet to rebound to those levels. His impending free agency has less to do with his success this and more to do with his health, and his manager concurs.
If he can remain healthy, there is plenty of reason to think he could put up a BA of .300 or better, 25-30 homers and 100 RBIs. The return of Matt Kemp (strained hamstring) will only aid this quest. Ethier's fantasy baseball profile serves as an anchor to any lineup, so it wouldn't be very wise to deal him unless you can score a stacked package in return.
St. Louis Cardinals SP Joe Kelly impresses
The Red Birds couldn't have asked for more out of Kelly in his major league debut Sunday against the Cleveland Indians. The 24-year-old righty allowed just one run and seven hits while fanning four and walking one in five innings.
As Aaron Schafer notes in the Riverfront Times, Kelly touched 96 mph with his heat and induced most of his swinging strikes with his secondary stuff, mostly his change piece. Making Carlos Santana looked overmatched didn't go unnoticed, either.
The solid outing likely bought him at least a few more starts in the rotation, and with Jaime Garcia (shoulder strain) out for at least two months, Kelly has an opportunity. He'll need to spot his sinking fastball better in order to induce grounders at the rate he did in the minors, though.
Shelby Miller, who remains the better long-term option for the Cards, has been hit hard at Triple-A Memphis this year (5.18 ERA), and St. Louis won't force the 21-year-old to the majors if they don't have to. He remains a speculative grab in NL-only leagues for now.

Btw, this song "Ship With No Sails" by Neonfly is a FANTASTIC song. One of my favorite to play on Rock Band (along with "Curse of the Werewolf"). Great song. Great playability. It's just great.
ANYWAYS, I have played the song a dozen times on Rock Band and then I got the iTunes version on my iPod and realized that there were quite a few differences. At the beginning it just seemed like it was different recordings of the same song, but then after a while, there were parts that were played by keys on Rock Band that were played on guitar on the iTunes version. Then after even longer, there were just layers that were missing (the kind of Oboe-ish part near the middle-end was gone and just the background noises were there)
So I was wondering if anyone had any information on this, and where I could get a version of the song that is on Rock Band.

Am I correct in understanding that in the new CBA, Chris Johnson must report 30 days prior to the first game of the regular season in order to accrue a full year toward free agency? Not to mention a hefty fine if not reported by that date. If that is correct, Chris must report around August 11. Could this be what Mike Reinfeldt is banking on?
Guys like Johnson really don't have much leverage with the new CBA. That was one thing the owners did in their favor. I think the Titans should be nice enough to offer CJ a new contract but it doesn't have to be huge (as in double figures per year). CJ is in a spot where he would be stupid to not accept about anything with decent bonus money up front.

- University Vehicle Purchasing Policy
- The determination and disposal of excess vehicles, the determination of fleet size, minimum use criteria, and the state fleet consolidation requirement applies only to vehicles purchased with appropriated funds.

- The alternative fuel costs more than conventional gasoline or diesel;
- Conversion equipment is not working or is unsafe to operate, in which case timely repairs or inspections shall be made before the vehicle may continue to operate on the alternative fuel; and
- Operating exclusively on an alternative fuel is contrary to the vehicle manufacturer or alternative fuel conversion equipment vendor recommendations.
- University employees must refuel at self-service islands or central fueling facilities only.
- Increase Vehicle Use, Improve Efficiency of the University Fleet and Reduce the Cost of Maintaining University Vehicles
The University Police Transportation Section shall adopt policies and procedures based on the "Fleet Management Best Practices" of the OVFM Plan.

- Vehicles purchased with non-appropriated funds; and
- Vehicles purchased with federal funds for specific federal projects.
- Authorization to Operate a UTSA (State-Owned) Motor Vehicle
Motor vehicles that are owned by The University of Texas at San Antonio are State vehicles. These vehicles must be operated in accordance with the established rules and regulations of the State of Texas and the UT System. The UTSA Police Department and Transportation Office is responsible for monitoring UTSA drivers' records, informing new drivers of appropriate regulations, and maintaining a current list of all personnel who are authorized to drive UTSA vehicles. It is most important that a current authorized drivers list be kept up-to-date in case of accidents for verification purposes of coverage with the liability insurance carrier. This list will be updated annually so individuals who are no longer employed will not continue to have their name on the current list.Staff and faculty may be authorized to drive a UTSA vehicle for official business. With prior coordination, and if individual field trip approval has been obtained, student employees may be authorized to drive UTSA vehicles while on field trips.
The following procedures apply to all departments and offices that have UTSA vehicles assigned to them. Consequently, the departments/offices are responsible for the proper operation of these vehicles.
- Prior to employing a person as a department driver of a University-owned vehicle for official business, each component department shall request from the Texas Department of Public Safety a list of convictions for traffic violations contained in the department records on the potential employee and a verification that the person possesses a valid driver license issued by the State in which the person permanently resides. Incumbent authorized drivers will have their Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) checked by their respective component institution:
- At least every twelve months after initially authorized;
- Promptly after the employee has been involved in an automobile accident while driving on official University business; and
- Promptly after the employee receives a moving traffic citation while on official University business.
- Authorized drivers and applicants seeking a position that requires authorization to operate a University-owned vehicle for official University business will be evaluated by the UTSA Police Department Parking and Transportation Office on the most recent three-year history reflected on their MVR and points will be assigned accordingly. If the total points equal four or more for the immediately preceding 36 months, the person shall not be authorized to operate a University-owned vehicle for official University business. If a component institution is unable to obtain a three-year driving history, the component institution's Chief Business Officer (CBO) may use his or her discretion to authorize the employee to operate a University-owned vehicle for official University business.
- Once a year, the UTSA Police Department Parking and Transportation Office will contact each of the departments/offices to coordinate a current listing of the authorized drivers via MVR checks. All drivers of UTSA vehicles and their supervisors must be familiar with Section XI of this policy, "Recording Use of State-Owned Motor Vehicles," which pertains to mandatory recording procedures to be followed when any person uses a State-owned vehicle.
- Prior to employing a person as a department driver of a University-owned vehicle for official business, each component department shall request from the Texas Department of Public Safety a list of convictions for traffic violations contained in the department records on the potential employee and a verification that the person possesses a valid driver license issued by the State in which the person permanently resides. Incumbent authorized drivers will have their Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) checked by their respective component institution:
- Recording Use of State-Owned Motor Vehicles
The Texas Penal Code prescribes mandatory recording procedures to be followed when any person uses a State-owned vehicle. The Monthly Vehicle Use Report Book, must be kept in UTSA vehicles at all times. The Institute of Texan Cultures' (ITC) Monthly Vehicle Use Report Book is kept in the ITC Facilities Office. All Monthly Vehicle Use Report Books must be completed as detailed in the instructions printed on the book's cover.The following additional reporting instructions applicable to University vehicles are necessary for the University's full compliance with the State Law:
- Fully completed Monthly Vehicle Use Report sheets for the previous month will be forwarded to the UTSA Police Department Parking and Transportation Office the first work day of the month.
- When a State-owned vehicle is being operated away from the campus and the Monthly Vehicle Use Report sheets are not available, it is the using unit's responsibility to notify the UTSA Police Department Parking and Transportation Office. Also, fully completed reports should be provided immediately upon return of the vehicle to the campus.
- Incomplete/inaccurate Monthly Vehicle Use Reports will be returned to the University official responsible for the used vehicle for corrective action and prompt resubmission.
- Additionally, responsible University officials will be advised when the Monthly Vehicle Use Reports are not submitted in a timely manner to permit University compliance with the State Law. Special attention is called to the "Excerpts From Texas Penal Code," printed inside the Monthly Vehicle Use Report Book cover, where particular use instructions are given and fines for noncompliance specified.
- Each department can purchase the Vehicle Report Books from the Texas Building and Procurement - Central Supply Store Catalog. When doing so, the following information must be included:
Commodity Code: 695-18-00913-4-50 Description: Book, Vehicle Use Report - State Automobile, 12 Months Price per Book: $1.65 Price per Case: $82.50
This information is also available on their website address: http://www.tbpc.state.tx.us/centstore/
For information concerning personnel who are authorized to operate State-owned vehicles, please refer to Section X of this policy, "Authorization to Operate a UTSA (State-Owned) Motor Vehicle."

The 2 blocks I have work great for sanding a fretboard or frets. Quality hard Maple. Durable and inexpensive.
The 8" wooden radius block combined with the self adhesive sandpaper made a great fretboard out of a bad one in a very short time.I'll have to buy the set now!
I have a few of these and they make putting a radius on a finger board a breeze, and the are very affordable
This is a very helpful tool. I am using this to radius new frets that need sanding. Recently i used it for changing the neck radius from 16" to 14".
Perfect product for job, makes an accurate fret job idiot proof, promt shipping, thank you guys for your service
I bought the 8" sanding block and just used it on my first fingerboard. Actually, it is the first neck I have built. I radiused an ebony fingerboard in about 30 minutes with the block, some doublesided tape and sand paper. I feel no need to pay more for fancier radius equipment because used carefully, this tool worked perfectly. My fretboard matched up dead on with my template. I highly recommend it.
Simple design - works well.

Look back at the memorable moments in State of the Union addresses through the years.
2003: Bush's 16 Words -- President George W. Bush outlines his justification for invading Iraq, uttering 16 words that would later come back to haunt him. Bush claims that, "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." The accuracy of those words would be debated for years, and launched a Justice Department investigation after a covert CIA agent was outed.

It's POP-tober!
On my way into the grocery store on Sunday, I saw them: the Boy Scouts with the popcorn.
Our pharmacist's son was the one selling and we figured it's a good cause, so we went home with a can of toffee/peanut popcorn just in time for this week, which kicks off National Popcorn Poppin' Month!
The truth is, my husband doesn't really like popcorn. Something about things getting stuck in his teeth and in his throat. The bottom line is that when we go to the movies, I get the bag of popcorn aaaaall to myself and he keeps his hands away. Which suits me just fine.
When I was a kid, my mother had some hideous orange plastic popcorn popper with a little built-in dish on top where you melted butter and let it drip down into the snack. I recall it being such a pain in the butt to pull the thing out and make the popcorn that we hardly ever had homemade popcorn at my house.
Maybe that's why it was all the more exciting that one neighbor always handed out popcorn balls on Halloween. We'd always rush on past all the other houses in the neighborhood in an effort to get to the popcorn ball house before all the popcorn balls had been handed out. Then we'd double back.
Come to think of it, October really is an appropriate month to celebrate popcorn, not just because of popcorn balls. It's the time to cuddle up on the couch — not recoil from your sweaty sweetie and the wooly upholstery — to watch a movie. Preferrably a scary movie!
Thanks to The Popcorn Board, I've got a few recipes for jazzing up an ordinary bowl of popcorn. If you have any popcorn memories or recipes yourself, let's hear them!

This paper demonstrates that the current hysteria over deficits in the US is unjustified. Markets for even long term US government debt are strong.
Key findings:
· Claims that economic growth falls off at anywhere near current US levels of debt to GDP are untrue. Neither is it the case that cutting deficits magically stimulates the economy. And stories about 90% limits are untrue.
· The CBO August 2010 budget revision implies that the U.S. is less endangered than most analysts claim.
· Private oligopolies in health and defense spending, along with the possibility of another banking crisis, are the real threats to the deficit, not entitlements.
· Social Security is in essentially no danger for decades and does not require any fix.
· It would be easy to stimulate the economy with a program of public investment that would substantially reduce public debts in the long run.

TOPEKA, February 14, 2007 / The State Board of Education moved a step closer to establishing guidelines on the seclusion and restraint of Kansas students with disabilities.
State Board Moves Closer to Establishing Seclusion and Restraint Guidelines
During its regular meeting Wednesday, the Board directed the Kansas State Department of Education staff to develop guidelines which provide programming for children with disabilities who have challenging behavior. The guidelines will include the use of positive behavior supports and the appropriate use of seclusion rooms and restraint. The action came a day after parents, educators and special education experts testified about some seclusion and restraint practices used in Kansas and other states.
"We heard testimony from a number of people and we believe it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed with consistent guidelines for the entire state," said Carol Rupe, the Board's vice chairman. "We will monitor these guidelines to see that they are followed."
The Board also directed education department staff to coordinate with the State Special Education Advisory Council to monitor, annually, the use of seclusion and restraint and to report to the Board.

This project is funded by the Swedish Research Council for the years 2011-2013 (nr 2010-6013) and with a strategic research grant from the University of Gothenburg for the focus research area language technology (2009-2015).
The goal of the SweFN++ project is to build an open-content -- i.e., freely available and modifiable -- integrated lexical resource for Swedish -- so far lacking -- to be used as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology (LT) research and in the development of LT applications for Swedish.
The resource -- Swedish FrameNet++ -- will consist of two main components:
Additionally, we aim to develop a methodology and workflow which makes maximal use of LT and other tools in order to minimize the human effort needed to build SweFN++.
SweFN++ will be a versatile basic lexical building block in Swedish LT research and LT applications, where two important areas in the near future will be LT-based eScience (particularly in the framework of CLARIN) and the processing of language data in connection with the Semantic Web. In both cases the semantic information in SweFN++ will be crucial to the realization of the full potential of those areas.

Grafton man identified as deceased in Walpole officer-involved shooting
Authorities identified the man as Larry Albert Bohannon, who was born in 1961, making him 51 or 52 years old.
Dr. Thomas Andrew, the state's chief medical examiner, performed an autopsy on Bohannon's body Saturday, according to the state Attorney General's Office.
"The investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death is continuing and no further information is expected to be released until early next week," the AG's office said in a statement.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles earlier said the man killed was involved in an armed robbery in Bellows Falls, Vt., earlier Friday. The man "was said to have worn a ski mask and carried a handgun," she said. The man fled to New Hampshire and officers from Walpole and Alstead pursued his vehicle.
"At the end of the pursuit, shots were fired and the suspect was killed at the scene," Rundles said.
She said she couldn't comment on whether the man fired at police or whether authorities recovered a handgun. She said the man failed to comply with orders from police.
David Tuttle, who lives next door to the crime scene, said he could hear a chase.
"I could hear sirens. Right here, I heard a screech and then a thud and a few seconds later, some shots and a little bit after that some shots," Tuttle told the New Hampshire Union Leader.
"I'm going to guess there were two groups, each with three or four (shots)," he said.

IMF defends Sri Lanka loan |
Tuesday, 28 July 2009 | |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund defended a $2.6 billion loan to Sri Lanka on Monday saying it is aware of human rights concerns by donors but the funding is needed to prevent a devastating balance of payments crisis. The loan was approved by the IMF board on Friday with opposition from several countries including the United States, Britain, Germany, France and Argentina, which expressed concern at human rights abuses in Sri Lanka. "In Sri Lanka's case they have been hit by the global crisis and the IMF's mandate is to address and ward off balance of payments crises," IMF mission chief to Sri Lanka, Brian Aitken told reporters on a conference call. "The balance of payments crisis sounds rather dry but it really would have a devastating impact on the economy and on the people, particularly the most vulnerable," he added. Aitken said the IMF was in regular contact with humanitarian groups and diplomats over human rights worries. Months after the end of the civil war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the Sri Lankan government continues to hold thousands of Tamils displaced by the fighting in detention camps, according to Human Rights Watch. Aitken said none of the IMF funding would be directed through the government budget. Instead, the entire loan is going toward rebuilding the central banks currency reserves, which have been drained by the collapse in global trade that has affected the country's mainstay garment industry. "The hope is that the loan provides a framework in which multilateral and bilateral donors can support the reconstruction effort directly," he added. He also said it was important that Sri Lanka's foreign exchange policy remained flexible to meet targets for rebuilding international reserves to at least 3.5 months of imports by the end of the 20-month program. "The program is targeted to increase reserves and the exchange rate under those circumstances needs to be flexible to respond to changes in foreign exchange flowing into the country," Aitken said. Aitken said as the global crisis dissipates, Sri Lanka's growth should rebound quickly on the back of post-war rebuilding. He said the IMF agreed with the central banks' forecast for economic growth of 3 percent for 2009. Courtesy: dailymirror.lk |
