Good Monday morning. Here's a look at opinion content published over the weekend:
Saturday, Oct. 8
Occupy Wall Street and '99 percenters': Commentary
Christopher Ketcham, uthor of "The Rein of the One Percenters: Income Equality and the Death of Culture in New York City" in the current issue of Orion magazine, offers a commentary on the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ketcham compares the demonstrations to the Populist movement of the Gilded Age.
Cyberbullying: Commentary
State Sen. David Carlucci, a Rockland Democrat, comments on cyberbullying in a Community View. Carlucci advances legislation he says "will stiffen penalties for online bullying and stalking, giving law enforcement the ability to charge individuals with a misdemeanor for 'cyberbullying' and in extreme cases, expand second-degree manslaughter to include 'bullycide' when the perpetrator intentionally or recklessly causes the victim to commit suicide."
Sunday, Oct. 9
Pensions: Editorial
We comment on Sunday's watchdog report on the Lower Hudson Valley's 45 new admittees to one of the state's more exclusive clubs — those earning public pensions of more than $100,000. We write:
… In 1980, according to the Employees Benefit Research Institute, 39 percent of private-sector workers had a pension that provided a guaranteed payout at retirement; that figure is down to about 15 percent today. About 42 percent of those formerly covered by pensions now have 401(k) plans, which have been battered by the raucous financial markets. There has been little guidance from Wall Street, corporate board rooms or public policy makers on how retirees are supposed to get by with so much less; at the same time Social Security is under constant threat.
The dearth of discussion — perhaps the spreading Wall Street protesters could add this complaint to their list — means more struggles for those on payrolls, leaving payrolls, or hoping some day to join one. If only our collective envy for the six-figure pension club would translate into retirement solutions for the rest of the working world.
Hank Williams Jr.: Reisman

randir14 wrote:I went to the Vons grocery store last Saturday and bought a Visa Paypower prepaid debit card. The cost was around 5 bucks for the card, with a minimum of $20 to activate it. I registered on their website and the account seemed to be working, since I was able to order a DVD from Newegg.com.
The next day I went back to Vons and put $340 in cash on a "ReloadIt" card, which comes with a code that you're supposed to add to your Paypower account in order to get the money. When I tried it gave me a message saying something like "you have exceeded the funds you are allowed". I called the company and a customer service person told me I needed to fax a copy of my driver's license and two forms proving I live at this address. So I did.
On Wednesday I received an email from a risk analyst at Blackhawk Network (the company that puts out the Paypower Visa cards) saying my social security number wasn't verifying, and requested I fax a copy of my SS card. I did that as well. I didn't hear anything for two days, so on Friday I called Paypower Visa again. When I explained the situation to the customer service, she put me on hold to talk to her supervisor. When she came back she verified they had received everything and it would take 1-2 days to verify my info.
So I'm wondering, what should I do? Right now I'm stuck with an inactive account and $340 dollars that I cant use (it also specifically says I cant return it to the location I purchased it). If my Paypower Visa card account still isn't activated on Monday should I call and try to get a refund? I don't think it's a scam since I did research and discovered Blackhawk Network is owned by Safeway Inc.
The same thing happened to me. The reason why you are having problems is because when you bought the card you didn't register it with your id etc.. right away so you are only allowed to put a total of $200 on the card. If you register the card which you did now it will take a day or 2 and they will verify your info and you will have access to your money.
Just give them a call since its been a couple of days and everything should be verified and if its not then ask for a supervisor and they will be able to help you. That's what I did and it worked for me and I have been using my paypower card online for months now and ive never had any problems with any of my orders.

A SIX-wicket haul for Jake Hand, including three in four balls, helped Farley cruise to a 102-run victory at Herriard.
The hosts had put Farley on a dampish track, but after James Melhorn fell early, Ian Owen and BJ Cole showed the discipline needed to build an innings, adding 58 for the second wicket before Cole edged a drive on 31.
There was then a pivotal fourth wicket stand of 63 between Owen (48) and Tom Pitt-Brooke (35), which gave Farley the platform to accelerate in the last 10 overs. Geoff Ramsey led the charge, his unbeaten 48 ensuring Farley finished on a competitive 206-8.
Dan Jackson's excellent opening spell brought two early victims and Melhorn picked up one at the other end. When Cole removed Baker for 41, it was over to Hand, whose flight proved too much for the Herriard lower order as he finished with 6-25. That gave Farley a maximum points win as they returned to third place.
It was a double celebration for the first time this year after Farley's second team raced to a nine-wicket win at home to Hursley Park IV. Bowling with control and discipline rarely seen this season, Farley kept the visitors to just 122-5 in their 42 overs.
Ian Swain made short work of the chase, finishing on 79 not out.

Tom handled an employment law matter for me that settled about a year ago. His fees were less than a lot of the larger firms and was prompt and efficient in handling my case. The nice thing about this firm is that though it gives the impression that it is a larger firm, it still has a local, personal touch. I would highly recommend.

Canon Pixma iP2600 Inkjet Printer
Canon Pixma iP2600PCWorld Rating
You find few true bargains among low-cost color inkjets--such products always involve trade-offs. But Canon's Pixma iP2600 color inkjet printer has the goods where it counts, producing surprisingly decent print quality, even on plain paper. As a result, this supercheap printer's mediocre speed may be less of an issue for many buyers. Another reason to like the iP2600: Canon's better-than-average performance in our recent Reliability and Service survey.
How mediocre was its output speed? In our tests, the Pixma iP2600 printed text on plain paper at a rate of 8.5 pages per minute--slower than both the Epson Stylus C120 and the Lexmark Z2420 Wireless. Its print speeds for color graphics and photos ranged from average to worse, but the actual printouts were worth the wait. Text samples looked deep-black and pretty crisp. Color images printed on plain paper appeared vivid, maybe even a bit overdone. On Canon's own photo paper, the same images improved markedly and were smooth, detailed, and natural.
The printer's simple, boxy design includes a 150-sheet rear input area and a 150-sheet front output tray. Both are surprisingly roomy, but the output tray--a foldout front panel with a narrow pivoting extension--is also disappointingly flimsy. On-screen prompts walk you through manual duplexing (two-sided printing). The ink cartridges are fairly easy to replace, and a helpful illustration sits above the bays.
The iP2600's control panel, however, is sparse and hard to decipher. It consists of two buttons with symbolic labels and integrated LEDs that turn on, turn off, or flash to communicate the printer's status. Such secret-code-like designs are typical among low-cost printers; apparently, making them easier to use costs too much.
The printer ships with standard-size black and tricolor cartridges; higher-yield versions are also available. Canon calculates the page yields based on a suite of standard documents with a mix of text and graphics. Even with the higher-yield cartridges, such a document costs at least 14 cents in ink alone (6.1 cents for black, 8.2 cents total for all three colors) and drains the cartridges within 300 pages or so. Simpler documents will use less ink.
Canon bundles useful software with the Pixma iP2600. The apps include a centralized interface for accessing the user guide and other support; an on-screen status monitor where you can also check printer settings; and Easy-PhotoPrint EX for editing and manipulating photos.
The Canon Pixma iP2600 is a cheap printer that many people could live with happily. It doesn't do much other than print well on both plain and special papers, but for this little money, tolerating its poky speed is worthwhile.
--Melissa Riofrio
Canon Pixma iP2600PCWorld Rating
Home and student users should love the prints and the price, but they'll need a little patience.
- Very inexpensive
- Impressive text and photo quality
- Minimal features
- Mediocre to slow print speeds

Is there a link between the drug Nexium and weight gain/slow weight loss? I seem to have gained 13 pounds since I started taking it, and I've only been able to lose a half a pound each week. Thanks.
— Sheri, Florida
Yes, Nexium and other heartburn drugs may cause weight gain — as can other drugs, such as certain antidepressants, beta-blockers, and antihistamines. You should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any medication so you understand all the potential side effects of any drug you take. That way, you can better manage your expectations and not be surprised should strange stuff start to happen.
What is interesting about the scenario you describe is that the symptom of heartburn can be ameliorated by weight loss. So if you are able to lose some weight, you may not need the Nexium after all. In fact, just a 10 percent drop in weight can reduce the need for heartburn drugs in most patients who are overweight. If you don't know where to start, ask your doctor or a nutritionist to recommend a sensible eating plan, and make sure to include regular physical activity.

A CHERISHED £20,000 Audi was among vehicles severely damaged by vandals in a Southbourne street in the middle of the night.
Andrea Morris and partner Shane Gray were alerted by a neighbour to their damaged vehicle at around midnight on Thurs-day.
The couple had saved up to buy the special sports version of the Audi S5 which is now likely to cost more than £5,000 to repair.
"We only had it about six weeks," said Andrea, 24.
"Now it's dented on the bonnet and the whole of the roof has caved in."
A van parked nearby was also believed to have been bounced on, plants were pulled from neighbours' gardens and cars damaged further down Seafield Road in Bournemouth.
"I'm really angry," said Andrea, who works for the Hertz car rental company.
"Someone has just come here and damaged other people's belongings."
The 2008 blue high-performance Audi was parked on the road outside the couple's home and a neighbour saw what was going on and knocked on their door as well as calling the police.
By the time they got up and went downstairs, the police had arrived.
A 17-year-old youth was later arrested.
Shane, 26, who has his own business tinting vehicle windows, and Andrea both worked hard to save money to buy their dream car.
"To spend so much money, having saved up, and for one person to come along and ruin it for you, that's the heart-wrenching thing," said Andrea.
"If you spend that amount of money on a car, it's going to have to be repaired one way or another," she added.

Before he jets off to take the lead in John Adams's new opera, Gerald Finley faces a challenge nearer home. He talks to Rupert Christiansen
This is quite a year for the marvellous baritone Gerald Finley. At 45, this former King's College Cambridge chorister is in his prime, singing with a maturity that is sweeping all before him.
In January he undertook his first major Verdi role, Germont in La traviata at Covent Garden - an experience he found both "thrilling and terrifying, though I'm still not sure if Verdi is a road I want to travel further". And later this summer he travels to San Francisco to sing the conscience-stricken nuclear scientist J Robert Oppenheimer in October's world première of John Adams's Doctor Atomic.
Meanwhile, he's about to tackle his first major Russian operatic assignment, albeit without the language problem, when he plays the title role in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin for English National Opera. With its preponderance of elegant lyrical music, it's almost a respite, he says, from dramatically taxing challenges such as Mozart's Don Giovanni, which he performed last month at New York's Metropolitan Opera, and the uncharted water of Oppenheimer that lies ahead.
Finley is a thoughtful person, focused and articulate without being pretentious or precious. He loves singing, he says. "It's something I do all the time when I'm on my own - it gives me freedom of soul. Singing is the thing that makes me least stressed and most satisfied with being alive."
But he says it hasn't come easily. Years of choristership - in his native Montreal as well as at Cambridge - trapped him in bad technical habits, and he emerged feeling baffled and frustrated. After several years "farting around with half the teachers in town", he finally found someone in New York, Armen Boyajian, who helped him to get the fundamentals in place.
"Things didn't start quickly for me - maybe now I'm beginning to feel the benefit of that long bedding-in period. But even today, I don't feel I've cracked it. It's a constant search, and one that goes on fascinating me. I'm still more confident of my ability to deliver text than the pure legato line that Sinatra or Siepi could spin."
When we spoke, he had only seen part of the score for Doctor Atomic, but he's already excited by the approach it takes. "It's not a biographical condensation of Oppenheimer's life, but something concentrated on the period of his moral dilemma," he says. Peter Sellars has assembled the libretto entirely verbatim from Oppenheimer's letters and other actual texts.
"Oppenheimer was a tremendously knotted and tortured man - a follower of the Bhagavad Gita, very buttoned-up in the middle of the political maelstrom, but with a burning passion for his wife and terrible remorse for his outbreaks of anger.
"I relish that sort of complexity on stage: the straightforward romantic heroes don't interest me much - the roles I most enjoy are those with changes of mood and developments of character."
Aside from the familiar Mozart characters such as Papageno and Figaro, which have served as his calling-card at the world's major opera houses and festivals, Finley has developed a particularly strong track record in contemporary music, having created and recorded Harry Heegan in Mark Antony Turnage's The Silver Tassie and become strongly identified with Jaufré in Saariaho's L'amour de loin, not yet staged in Britain.
Yet, much as he appreciates the privilege of working with living composers, his one gnawing ambition is to play the title role in Britten's Billy Budd. Vocally, physically and dramatically, it would surely suit him perfectly, but despite "several conversations", a contract has never transpired. It's a part that has recently been cornered by Finley's friend, coeval and fellow Cambridge chorister Simon Keenlyside, who will be singing it again at ENO at Christmas.
But any rivalry doesn't seem to be hostile, and in other respects blonde Keenlyside and dark Finley are complementary: "My range is low for a baritone, his is high. In Le nozze di Figaro, he's the Count and I'm Figaro." They are scheduled to be on stage together again at Covent Garden for Pelléas et Mélisande, in which Keenlyside is cast as the romantic hero Pelléas, with Finley in his preferred guise as the tormented Golaud.
Home for Finley is a village near Glyndebourne, the opera house with which he has been most closely associated. His wife is the mezzo-soprano Louise Winter, who will be singing at this year's Last Night of the Proms, and the couple have two sons. Although managing domestic stability alongside two international careers is tough, "we work hard to be as normal a family as possible. I walk the dog, the boys go to a local school, and we are part of the community.
"I am delighted with what I have, but there are sacrifices involved. I suppose I wouldn't be human if I didn't occasionally look over the fence, metaphorically, and think hmmm."
'Eugene Onegin' opens at the London Coliseum, WC2 (020 7632 8300, www.eno.org) on June 10.

ANDOVER Town Council and Charlton Parish Council have submitted applications for the designation of a neighbourhood area to cover their parishes.
The application for a neighbourhood area is the first stage in creating a Neighbourhood Development Plan, which would help residents to influence and shape the future of the places where they live and work.
Test Valley Borough Council launches public consultation on the neighbourhood areas today.
Individuals and organisations will have until 4.30pm on Friday, 13 June to submit feedback on whether the boundaries for the designated areas are appropriate.
The Localism Act 2011 introduced the legal framework for neighbourhood planning and the preparation of Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDP) by parish and town councils. This forms part of the Government's initiative to give communities a greater say on the future of their local area including on housing and employment.
After public consultation councils will undertake research to develop a Neighbourhood Plan.

THE Gerrards Cross fun run was another huge success with the Beaconsfield MP even donning his shirt and shorts for the 5km race.
This year's competition saw over 1000 people run in either fancy dress or their best sporting gear.
It is also believed that several thousand spectators lined the streets through Gerrards Cross.
Attorney General and MP for Beaconsfield, Dominic Grieve finished in the first 450 runners with a respectable time of 29 minutes, 30 seconds.
The winner of this year's competition was Chris Oddy, with a time of 17 minutes, 19 seconds.
Organisers have now thanked all fundraisers.
They said: "To all the runners, their supporters, our sponsors and volunteers, a huge congratulations and thank you for what you have achieved."
Money from this year's race will be going to Kids in Sport and Slough-based charity Home-Start.
Kids in Sport raises money to benefit children and young people who might not be able to participate in regular sport.
Home-Start supports parents in best providing for their children while overcoming illness, disability, emotional and other practical complications.

A Senate inquiry into family-run businesses has come up with 21 recommendations for better engaging the sector in policy setting. Meanwhile,
Central to the findings was the need to improve statistics about the sector and its contribution to gross domestic product and employment. But advisers doubt that any changes will be made until after the September 14 election.
While most stakeholders are more interested in practical recommendations around tax, asset transfers and shareholding arrangements hobbling family business, Deloitte partner
"The top 200 companies, when they need to, can speak with one voice," he said. "Family business, being much more disparate, has never been able to do that." The tabling of the report last Thursday in Parliament was interrupted by talk of a leadership spill.
"It's all very well for Senate committees to have these inquiries, but it's another leap entirely to have recommendations enacted in legislation," said Family Business Australia chief executive
The recommendations of the seven-month inquiry include setting up a federal interdepartmental committee to identify policy issues for family businesses, to gain a better understanding of the sector's profile and economic contribution.
The inquiry found merit in lifting the 50 shareholder limit for private businesses, and the 80-year maximum lifetime for trusts. This would alleviate expensive restructuring triggered by a benign rule, Ms Taylor said. The inquiry also urged the government to assess the relevance of the "outdated" Division 7A rule of the Income Tax Act that treats loans and debts to shareholders of private companies as dividends.
"There's acknowledgment that this is one area where it's not a bunch of tax advisers trying to get around rules; the rules really are affecting the way business operates," PwC partner Kel Fitzalan said.

The NTSB last month released a cockpit voice recorder transcript as part of its investigation into the Sept. 19, 2008, overrun crash of a Learjet 60 in Columbia, S.C., which killed two crewmembers and two passengers; two remaining passengers survived with severe burns. According to the NTSB, the Learjet's pilots attempted to abort the takeoff after a high-speed tire burst. The CVR transcript shows that the pilots realized something was wrong with the aircraft just seconds before the crash. The transcript indicates that the crew heard several sounds, described as "metallic clicks," some 20 seconds before the recording ended upon impact. Further, the NTSB said there was a "high-frequency sound consistent with brake-pedal application" five seconds after the crew heard the first of the two clicking sounds. Five seconds before the crash, the copilot told the tower controller, "Roll the equipment, we're goin' off the end."

For good reason, first-year Boulder head coach Vincent Smith smiles broadly when asked about his football rivals growing up.
Of course, the Arizona-Arizona State tussle is nationally known as the Duel in the Desert, and Smith was part of that for four years.
But he may have been even more proud this week reminiscing about his youth in Los Angeles, going to Locke High and routing its two main rivals, memories that have not diminished in nearly 30 years.
"My rival in high school was Los Angeles Jordan, and we dominated that series pretty well, so I have to say I've been on the plus side of the rivalries I've been a part of," Smith said after his Panthers practiced Tuesday night. "I'm hoping we can start a new thing here, and we'll see what happens.
"Rivalries are great for high school athletics, and it's especially great that these schools are so close in proximity. For us, it's like the Homecoming festivities before our actual Homecoming."
Smith may have yet to see the Boulder-Fairview rivalry play out — that comes this Friday at Recht Field (6 p.m.) when the Panthers host the Knights in the 53rd meeting between the teams — but he is aware of its importance to the community. As an offensive lineman originally recruited by Colorado, he recalled the buzz in Boulder prior to the game in 1988 when Smith was a Buff.
Despite the fact Fairview has ruled the series the past 11 years, little has changed. A spacious Recht Field may have sparse attendance during the season for both teams on a regular basis, but fans from both schools continue to pack the antiquated venue for this battle. And you can always expect shenanigans typical of a mostly teenaged crowd (we're looking at you, streakers).
For the crowd — for the family members who make the game a reunion of sorts, for the alumni who may only get to come to this one contest a year, and for the younger generation of players waiting for their turn to participate — it is a fun atmosphere to soak up.
And for both Smith and Fairview coach Tom McCartney, it's supposed to be as much fun out on the football field. For McCartney in particular, the game has meant everything in regards to the regular season no matter what week "Boulder Week" happens to fall.
This year it falls on Week 2 and Boulder (0-1) will be entering the game trying to shake off a loss against Denver South; Fairview (1-0) beat Horizon to open the season, but a big lead dwindled at the hands of the Hawks.
"It doesn't matter if it's your first time involved or your 40th, you feel the energy involved," Smith said. "But it is going to be a win for somebody and a loss for somebody. We want to make sure our mission of getting better remains the same. The season doesn't end with Fairview."
"We talk about the game often, early and often to be honest because it is so very important to the community," McCartney said, always referring to Boulder as a benchmark game year in and year out. "It's always part of our dialogue in the offseason, always part of our dialogue as we train and prepare. Having the game in Week 2, it really does bring importance to the early part of the season."
As far as the series, it's been all smiles for the Knights since 2003. Fairview has won 10 of 11 meetings since, with the 10-7 FHS win in 2010 the closest the game has been in several years.
But records and the past do not matter much, said Fairview sophomore defensive back Bryce DesJardins.
"This game is the key to the city and it's our big game and we know it's Boulder's big game," DesJardins said. "From my perspective, I remember coming out to watch it even before high school, and there's an excitement to it that I can't wait to play it. The older players on our team have made an impression on the younger guys, just that it's something to where you want to walk around with your head held high afterwards. But they've stressed that stats and numbers don't matter because it's going to be a battle no matter what."
"The thing about this rivalry that is so unique is each game stands on its own, and it does not matter what happened last year or even last week," McCartney echoed. "We look at this particular Friday night as the 2016 Fairview team and our opportunity to play in the rivalry. We have great respect for our opponent and we have to try and execute our game plan."

Vintage deep house imprint Glasgow Underground have largely impressed since coming back from the dead in 2011. Here, label boss Kevin McKay offers a glimpse of what's to come in the shape of four new tracks. McKay himself kicks things off with "The Rushes", a bouncy, piano-laden jam that harks back to a bygone age of glistening, rush-inducing house. Small Pyramids go weak at the knees on the sparkling nu-disco/deep house flex of "The Music", while Franky Redente offers up some more old skool flavas on the piano-laden hustle of "What U Want". Proceedings draw to a close with Admin's "Whatever You Want", a beautiful slice of shuffling deepness that's also the EP's undisputed highlight.

NORTH-WEST Euro-MP Paul Nuttall has stepped up UKIP's demand for new peers in the House of Lords.
The party's deputy leader said: "It is only right that we should have a fair quota following our outstanding performance in the recent European elections."
The party has three representatives in Westminster's Upper House all defectors from the Conservatives.
It has previously asked Prime Minister David Cameron for greater numbers.
Mr Nuttall said: "The coalition government was committed to giving UKIP a bigger presence in the Lords but ministers have made clear they had no intention of doing so. That is clearly wrong and unfair, "We topped the polls in the European elections with 27.5 per cent of the vote, which makes our case even stronger.
"There have been 160 peers created since May 2010 and the Green Party was granted a seat in the Lords last year. Despite it being government policy we should have more seats, they have not delivered that commitment."

Plot Summary
Plot: It's been a bad day for Driver and it's not getting any better. He just made a big haul of millions that would give him a nice summer vacation on easy street. A good idea that went south – literally. During a high-speed car chase with the US Border Patrol and a bleeding body in his back seat, Driver flips his car smashing through the border wall, tumbling violently, coming to a stop … in Mexico. Apprehended by the Mexican authorities, he is sent to a hard-core prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of "El Pueblito." Not an easy place for an outsider such as Driver to survive, unless it's with the help of someone who knows the ropes -- a 10 year-old kid.

Supervolcano was based on events which could happen in the near future if the volcano underneath Yellowstone National Park in the US was to erupt.
The BBC said in light of the recent tragedies in Asia it would "be inappropriate" to screen it.
The documentary will be screened at a later date, the spokesman added.
Based on fact, Supervolcano merges science, drama and computer imagery to imagine the effects of a volcano eruption.
The expensive series is a co-production between the BBC and other worldwide partners including the Discovery Channel.
There is a real active supervolcano underneath Yellowstone National Park that last erupted 640,000 years ago.
Predicting the future
Scientists believe that its cyclical nature means an eruption is long overdue and has the potential to kill 100,000 US citizens and lead to blizzards, climate change and famine.
The docu-drama was to be accompanied by a documentary, The Science Behind the Supervolcano, which looks at the scientific evidence and behaviour of the phenomenon.
The docu-drama follows a BBC Two series, If..., which examined what could happen in the event of man-made disasters, including a fictionalised plane crash which brings the UK to a standstill.
Another in the series, If...The Lights Go Out, predicted what would happen in the event of a nationwide powercut.

Anita Alvarez made history when she was chosen by voters in 2008 to serve as the Cook County State's Attorney. Not only did Anita become the first female and the first Hispanic State's Attorney, she also became the first career prosecutor ever elected to this important public safety position.
Anita has spent her entire legal career in public service in the State's Attorney's Office representing the victims of crime in Cook County. After serving with distinction for more than 22 years, Anita entered the race for Cook County State's Attorney in August of 2007 in what would be the first open primary election for the office in more than 50 years. Anita scored a dramatic upset in Cook County politics when she defeated five male opponents in a hotly contested Democratic primary and then soundly defeated her male Republican challenger in the general election.
Since taking office, Anita has delivered on many of the promises that she made to voters when she sought public office. In her first two years on the job, Alvarez has worked to stem the tide of gang and gun violence by drafting a new law that has increased criminal penalties for gang members arrested with guns. Gang members convicted under the new law face a mandatory prison sentence and are no longer eligible for probation.
In addition, Anita has stepped up the investigation and prosecution of public and government corruption; opened four new community-based prosecutions offices, and formed a mortgage fraud investigations and prosecutions unit. She also created a Human Trafficking Initiative that works closely with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to crack down on individuals and human trafficking groups that exploit children. She also authored the Illinois Safe Children Act, a sweeping new law that enhances protections for juveniles caught in the sex trade and provides new legal tools for police and prosecutors to target those who prostitute children.
Career Prosecutor
It is in the courtroom that Anita has felt most at home during the more than 20 years she has served in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. She began her career as an Assistant State's Attorney in 1986 and steadily worked her way up through the ranks, handling hundreds of felony cases ranging from homicide, narcotics, armed robbery, criminal sexual assaults and domestic violence. She has argued before the Illinois Appellate Court and tried more than 50 felony jury trials.
In September of 2011, Anita personally prosecuted the first of three men charged in the murder of a Chicago Police officer, securing a guilty verdict and a 125-year sentence. In December of 2011, Anita argued before the United States' Supreme Court in the case of Sandy Williams v. Illinois, a case focusing on the prosecutor's use of expert witnesses and testimony and the rights of a defendant to confront those who testify against them.
Prior to entering the race for Cook County State's Attorney, Anita served as Chief Deputy State's Attorney; Chief of Staff to the Cook County State's Attorney; Chief of the Special Prosecutions Bureau; Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Bureau, and Supervisor of the Public Integrity Unit. She also spent 3 ½ years in the Gang Crimes Unit where she prosecuted gang-related homicides.
Anita was promoted to the Supervisor of the Public Integrity Unit in 1996, where she was responsible for prosecuting city, county, and state employees who committed felonies and violated the public trust. She personally tried police officers on corruption charges. In 1999, she was promoted to Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Bureau where she supervised the prosecution of drug cases as well as long-term narcotics investigations in conjunction with Chicago and suburban police departments.
In 2001, Anita tried the case of the People of the State of Illinois v. Patrick Sykes, which was commonly referred to in widespread media as the 'Girl X" Case. Her successful prosecution of Sykes resulted in his conviction for the predatory criminal sexual assault of a 9- year-old-girl who was left paralyzed, blind, without speech and confined to a wheelchair after the brutal attack in the Cabrini Green housing project.
Anita's tireless work and dedication ensured that, despite the victim's daunting physical challenges, she was able to come to court and fearlessly face her attacker. From the podium at her swearing-in ceremony as State's Attorney, Anita acknowledged Shatoya Currie for her courage and perseverance in the face of monumental challenges.
Professional Commitment and Community Involvement
Anita is active in various bar associations and organizations. In 2009, she served as President of the Chicago Bar Association, one of the largest metropolitan bar organizations in the nation. She was also a founding member of the National Hispanic Prosecutors Association and served as its National President. Anita was chosen as a fellow in the 2004 class of Leadership Greater Chicago and served on their board from 2004 – 2006. Additionally, she serves on the Board of Trustees for Fenwick High School and is active in alumnae activities for her alma mater, Maria High School.
Anita has been honored by various groups and organizations throughout her career. In 2001 she was named Person of the Year by Chicago Lawyer Magazine. That same year, she was honored for her work in the Girl X case by the Council for Disability Rights for precedent setting advocacy. In 2002 she was the recipient of the Professional Achievement Award from Chicago-Kent College of Law. In 2005 Anita was named Person of the Year by the Latin American Police Association and also named States Attorney of the Year by the Illinois State Crime Commission. Anita is a frequent speaker and lecturer to many organizations and is asked to speak on topics ranging from legal issues, to community involvement, to telling her story to inspire students and show the value of education and hard work. Anita was also an adjunct professor at John Marshall Law School from 2002 to 2005.
A Chicago native, Anita was born and raised by working class parents in the Pilsen neighborhood. She attended Maria High School and received her undergraduate degree from Loyola University of Chicago. Anita earned her Law Degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Anita is married to Dr. James Gomez and she and her husband are the proud parents of four children.
As promised to a standing room only crowd at her swearing in ceremony, Ms. Alvarez serves the residents of Cook County by seeking "justice tempered with compassion."
the Office
The State's Attorney of Cook County is responsible for prosecuting all individuals charged with violating Illinois' criminal laws within the county. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office is the second largest prosecutorial office in the United States.
While the office provides a wide variety of criminal justice services, its main function is to prosecute crime and represent the victims of crime in the Cook County court system. The Assistant State's Attorneys in the office present criminal cases to a jury or judge and advocate for justice on behalf of crime victims.
The Cook County State's Attorney's Office is the second largest prosecutorial office in the United States. In addition to this core mission, the State's Attorney's Office is charged with enforcing many civil laws that protect abused children, the elderly, the disabled, and consumers as well as laws that promote the public interest in the environment and the provision of utility services. The State's Attorney also acts as legal counsel on civil law matters on behalf of Cook County government and its public officials.
Divisions of the office include:
- Child Support Enforcement Division
- Consumer Fraud Division
- Domestic Violence Division
- Financial and Government Fraud Unit
- Juvenile Justice Bureau
- Mental Health Division
- Narcotics Prosecution Division
- Public Integrity Unit
- Senior Citizens / Persons with Disabilities Division
- Victim/Witness Assistance Unit
Anita's Race
Whether it's running the Chicago marathon or running to become the Cook County State's Attorney, Anita Alvarez put everything she has into the race.
Born and raised in Chicago's Pilsen community, Anita comes from humble beginnings. One of three children, she grew up in a close-knit family. Her father, was a waiter, passed away when she was 12 years old and Anita's mother become the sole source of support for her young family. Anita's mom found work as a seamstress to support her children.
"My Mom worked very hard as so many single parents do to support us and to keep balance in our lives. She always stressed the importance of education and she pushed me to study hard and to pursue higher educational opportunities," Alvarez said.
Anita attended Maria High School on Chicago's Southwest Side and then went on to work her way through college and law school. She graduated from Loyola University with a major in social work and then obtained her law degree from Chicago Kent College of Law.
Anita joined the Cook County State's Attorney's Office in 1986. At that time, she was just one of few women or minorities hired.
"It was challenging at times to walk into a courtroom as a young female attorney, but I loved being a prosecutor from the first moment I stepped into a courtroom and put my name on the record on behalf of the People of the State of Illinois," Alvarez recalls.
As her career progressed, Anita began to successfully prosecute big cases involving gangs, violent street crime, domestic violence, sex crimes and public corruption and she began to rise through the ranks of the State's Attorney's Office.
In 1996, she became supervisor of the Public Integrity Unit where she obtained convictions against corrupt police officers and other public employees. Anita was then promoted to Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Prosecutions Bureau and supervised assistant state's attorneys who were involved in prosecuting important cases against high-ranking gang and drug dealers. In 2001, she was named Bureau Chief of the Special Prosecutions Unit, supervising prosecutors in the gang, arson, organized crime, cold case, auto theft, public corruption, financial crimes and professional standards units.
That same year, Anita prosecuted the case of "People v. Patrick Sykes," in what became known in Chicago and around the nation as the "Girl X" case. Anita helped to secure a 120-year sentence against sexual predator Sykes, whose brutal attack on a 9-year-old girl in a Chicago housing project left the child paralyzed, blind, unable to speak and confined to wheelchair.
Like so many women, Anita works hard to maintain a balance between her personal and professional lives. She and her husband, Dr. James Gomez, are the proud parents of four children: a son who is 21, twin daughters who are 14, and another son who is 13 years old.
"It really is a balancing act on some days, running to soccer and hockey games after work and on weekends. But we get through it with a lot of optimism and a lot of humor, just like so many other families," Anita said. "Somehow, the homework always gets done."
Alvarez ran track at her alma mater Maria High School and the running bug has been with her ever since. She has raced in the Chicago marathon (personal best time of 4:12) and regularly competes in half marathons and other races in community sponsored races and events.
Anita entered the race for Cook County State's Attorney in August of 2007 and she shocked the political establishment when she pulled off a victory in a six-way race in the primary election in February of 2008. She went on to handily defeat her Republican challenger in the general election the following November and is now heading into her re-election campaign for November of 2012.
In a speech before the City Club of Chicago, Anita summed up her feelings about her decision to step out of the courtroom and into the political arena.
"When I entered the race for Cook County State's Attorney, I viewed it as more of a personal decision than a political one. Running for this office feels more like a natural progression of my career than it does a political opportunity. After all of these years I still feel a very deep commitment and a personal passion about the State's Attorney's Office and all that it stands for."

America on Alert!
Deep, abiding suspicion of President Obama and his penchant for an overly strong centralized government
J.D. Longstreet
Monday, August 20, 2012
"A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."—Declaration of Independence, July 4th, 1776.
There is a stream of anxiety running through America that is threatening to become a full fledged tsunami. It is fueled by deep, abiding suspicion of President Obama and his penchant for an overly strong centralized government.
Obama's use of Presidential Executive Orders to literally MAKE US law, totally by-passing the people's national legislature charged with actually making the laws of the land, lead to grassroots America's perception of a dangerous pattern. It was a disturbing move by the President and it appeared to the average American as a not so subtle attempt by Obama to set himself up as America's first dictator.
Far-fetched, you say? Paranoid, you say? Really? May we be so bold as to remind everyone: Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. Protecting freedom is an on-going never-ending job.
There is a growing concern, out here in the hinterlands, that the scheduled election for November 6th, 2012 will never happen. Even more troubling is the number of Americans preparing for a complete meltdown of the government as we know it today and the establishment of Martial Law and a suspension of the elections in November.
OK. You might not like it, and it might sound utterly "nutzo" to you—but—THAT is what is fueling the fear and anger that has America on edge—and believe me, America IS on edge.
The Rest…HERE

THE memorial to 45 miners killed in a colliery explosion 50 years ago will be without arms for at least another month.
More than 5,000 people went to Six Bells last week to pay tribute to then men killed in an explosion at the village's colliery, then known as Arrael Griffin, at 10.45am on June 28, 1960.
Six decades after the disaster, a memorial statue, named 'Guardian' was erected bearing the name, age and hometown on a steel band surrounding the plinth of all of those killed in the 'W' district of the Old Coal Seam.
But the statue was missing two notable appendages when he was unveiled - his arms.
Mair Sheen, of Six Bells Communities First, said the 20-metre high statue went up without these limbs "due to it being such a technical job putting the statue into place.
"We did not want to rush the job and so took the decision to put the arms on at a later date."
The steel structure is the same height as the Angel of the North and depicts a lone miner standing on a plinth.
The miner itself is 12.6 metres high and includes a two metres high head, a torso which measures 3.5 metres in width and the feet which are two metres in width.
A total of 200 sheets of corten steel were used - equal to around 10 tonnes.
The arms of the Guardian, which weigh around one tonne each, will be fitted in the next four to six weeks.
The £200,000 memorial, funded through the Heads of the Valleys programme and other donations, needs strengthening work done on the internal figure to support the arms.

EUR/USD: Bullish Breakout of The Key Resistance at 1.3906
EUR/USD has broken to the upside out of its recent consolidation between 1.3780 (09/04/2014 low) and 1.3906 (11/04/2014 high), opening the way for a test of the key resistance at 1.3967. Hourly supports can be found at 1.3906 (previous resistance) and 1.3865 (05/05/2014 low).
In the longer term, EUR/USD is still in a succession of higher highs and higher lows. However, the recent marginal new highs (suggesting a potential long-term rising wedge) indicate an exhausted rise. As a result, we see a medium-term limited upside potential, especially given the key resistance at 1.3967 (13/03/2014 high) and the increasing overbought conditions.

Joseph's Brothers Trading Cards
Available from Christian Book
The Life of Joseph: Windows to the Past Wooden Bible Story
Search CBD
Joseph's CoatMain Points to Remember
1) Bragging can be hurtful to others
2) We must control jealousy, not let it control us
jealousy: disliking someone because of what they havePrayer: Father, we thank you for protecting us through the difficult times like Joseph went through.
Lesson: Genesis 37:3-36
Lesson Texts: Jerri Fusch's lesson text: Joseph's Brother Sell Him
Activity: Make a robe from a striped cloth or shirt and have the students take turns being Joseph. Discuss how expensive and different a striped coat would have been in those times, and how clothes were made by hand to last for many years.
Discussion: What things make you jealous today? What might
your friend show off at school that would make you envious? A brand
name pair of shoes? A portable electronic game? Why do some kids use
things to establish their importance? Because the world teaches them
that possessions determine your worth. What really makes us
important? God says that we are his children if we love Him and love
one another. Our "status" is reflected by how we treat others.
Should we really be jealous of someone who only feels important
because of what they own? No - we should emphasize that we value
them for who they are, not what they own.
1. Joseph dreamed that he would rule over his brothers. T
2. Joseph's brothers were jealous of him. T

text: Show Hide image Politics 24 January 2011 Radio presenter granted right to appeal High Court ruling TalkSport presenter Jon Gaunt wins right to appeal 'Nazi' jibe ruling. Sign up for our weekly email * Radio presenter Jon Gaunt who called a councillor a "Nazi" live on air has won the right to appeal a High Court decision which branded his interview offensive and abusive. Gaunt launched the appeal after an earlier judicial review failed to overturn a decision made by Ofcom that he had breached the broadcasting code. The broadcast regulator upheld complaints against Gaunt after he called Redbridge councillor Michael Stark a "Nazi" and an "ignorant pig" during an interview on his TalkSport radio show in November, 2008. During the interview Stark said there should be a ban on smokers being able to foster children but Gaunt, who was in care as a child, argued that the chance of finding a foster home would be lost under the new policy. Despite apologising for his behaviour, Gaunt was sacked by TalkSport ten days after the broadcast. Full story at Press Gazette Subscribe from just £1 per issue More


text: NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- On Friday, August 17, the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index, or VIX, hit a three-year low. Apparently, options investors had not been feeling a need to purchase "puts" to protect against a devastating decline in U.S. stock prices.However, since logging a three-year low, the VIX has jumped roughly 25% (8/17/12-8/29/12). In the same time frame, the U.S. market has moved sideways (-0.4%). The VIX essentially measures the level of "put" activity over a period of 30 days. With that knowledge, one can surmise that options investors fear the Federal Reserve won't signal a third round of quantitative easing, or QE3. At the very least, there are those who worry that the stock market won't react favorably to whatever Fed Chairman Bernanke says this Friday in Jackson Hole. Equally worthy of note, the VIX is testing its short-term 50-day moving average. Technically speaking, a sustained breakout above this level could precede a pullback in the SPDR S&P 500 ( SPY).

InfoWorld: IBM: Microsoft must improve Windows 2000Aug 31, 1999, 16:41 (4 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Ed Scannell)
"While IBM will support Microsoft's upcoming Windows 2000 in accounts both large and small, company officials Monday said Microsoft must make several improvements to the much-anticipated operating system before it works and plays well in multivendor corporate environments."
"...needs to add a proven synchronization capability to Windows 2000's Active Directory so it works with other industry standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories."
"...needs to improve the interoperability of the operating system's Kerberos with DCE Kerberos, as well as allowing the Microsoft Management Console to work more flexibly with competitive products."
" 'These problems need to be addressed before Windows 2000 can smoothly be integrated into multivendor environments,' said Pat Gibney, IBM's director of Windows 2000 Systems, in Raleigh. Gibney said he does not doubt Microsoft will eventually provide solutions for these problems, such as the DirSynch framework allowing it work with other LDAP directories, but these solutions will not find their way into the operating system until later versions."
"Company officials promised that all 300 plus applications the company has in its portfolio will 'tolerate,' or be compatible with, the 32-bit operating system on day one. Over the course of the first 12 to 24 months after Windows 2000 ships, all 300 or so applications will be fully exploitive."
