VIENNA (Jun. 13)
Austria's Parliament today enacted another of its series of piecemeal bills dealing with compensation to former Austrian nationals who suffered from Nazi persecutions. Parliament voted to pay approximately $1,500,000 over a period of nearly four years to match West German contributions of about $24,530,000 toward compensating persons whose professional careers or studies were interrupted by the Nazi regime in this country. The persons involved–an undetermined number of whom are Jews–must be former Austrian nationals;
The Austrian Parliament has enacted a number of bills to match the Bonn Government's total contributions of $80,000,000, which West Germany agreed last spring to pay as help to various categories of Austrian nationals who deserve restitution due to Nazi persecutions in this country. Austria's final share of the aggregate amount, to match Germany's $80,000,000, has not yet been fixed in final form.

Credit Monitoring
When it comes to your credit, you can't be too careful. Credit monitoring helps you prevent derogatory items from tainting your credit.
Do you have derogatory items on your credit report that you would like removed? Would you like to begin rebuilding your credit? Are you interested in protecting your credit from fraud and other crimes? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, credit monitoring can help you. Credit monitoring combines the benefits of several services into one convenient package. Not only can credit monitoring help you repair your bad credit, but it can also prevent future damage to your credit by alerting you to any changes on your report.
The first component of credit monitoring involves credit repair. Credit repair restores your credit by systematically disputing questionable derogatory items on your credit report. Many people find credit reports a little baffling, so they might not even be aware of the presence of negative items on their reports. In fact, most surveys find that a whopping 25% of credit reports contain serious errors! Whether you discover them or not, these errors are spuriously dragging down your credit score. That is why the first step in credit monitoring services entails reviewing your credit report for errors, then disputing these errors to have them removed. You'd be surprised the difference a few derogatory items can make in your credit score. The best part is, if you have credit monitoring done professionally, you will get a money-back guarantee if they are not able to remove enough of the derogatory items!
Clean Your Report Today!
Once your credit report has been cleaned up, credit monitoring moves into the prevention phase to help you stop derogatory items before they start. Most credit monitoring companies will provide you with several services when you become a client. First, they will provide you with an in-depth monthly analysis of your credit report to give you an idea of how it is impacting your credit score. In addition, when your credit monitoring service detects any changes in your credit report that might impact your credit score, you will be immediately notified via email. Third, questionable inquiries into your credit can hurt your score, so credit monitoring helps you combat these inquiries. Finally, credit monitoring can also provide you with insurance against identity theft, which will give you financial protection in the event your identity is stolen.
In what follows, credit monitoring will be discussed in more detail so you can decide if it's right for you. We'll also give you a brief overview of how credit works and why it's worth monitoring. Don't take risks with your credit.sign up for credit monitoring today!

Big rig crashes into river
DETROIT, Ore. - A big rig pulling two trailers loaded with hay crashed off Highway 22 into the Santiam River on Wednesday morning.
Truck driver Mark Hess, 57, of Woodburn was treated by medics at the scene. Oregon State Police cited Hess for Leaking/Sifting Load.
The crash happened shortly before 6 a.m. on Hwy 22, east of Detroit. Hay bales on one of the trailers shifted as the truck rounded a curve, state police said, causing Hess to lose control.
The truck came to rest partially in the river. The crash spilled hay bales along the riverbank and highway shoulder.

A downtown mixed-use project looks to be one step away from final approval by the city.
The Los Altos Planning and Transportation Commission (PTC) Aug. 15 unanimously approved six of seven outstanding conditions for developer David Luedtke's three-story condominium and office space project at 86 Third St.
The move comes after the Los Altos City Council unanimously voted in May to send the project back to the PTC for further review and approval, citing concerns that included the building's parking management and below-market-rate (BMR) units. Prior to the council's May review, the PTC in April recommended approval of the project – which calls for 20 condos and 5,500 square feet of first-floor office space.
Reached by the Town Crier, Los Altos Senior Planner Zach Dahl said the remaining hurdle is the building's exterior look, noting that some PTC members weren't "comfortable" with the materials proposed for the commercial side of the building.
"They basically requested a different material than the (scraped) limestone for that side of the building," said Dahl, who added that Luedtke's team is reviewing the use of other materials and is tentatively slated to return to the PTC in October.
Exterior aesthetics aside, the project met six other specific conditions outlined by the council – including a request to upgrade one two-bedroom BMR unit into a three-bedroom dwelling.
"I think they get great kudos for the affordable housing. … They went above and beyond in a way that's extraordinary," Commissioner Phoebe Bressack said, noting the building's BMR offerings of a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit and a three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo on the building's ground floor.
In addition, the PTC approved a parking management plan that includes opening the building's underground parking garage during business hours to those patronizing its offices. Other approved conditions included a plan to prewire 11 underground parking spaces for the future installation of electric-vehicle charging stations and a master sign program for the building.
Although the project remains in the city approval pipeline, Dahl said Luedtke has remained patient and willing to make adjustments throughout the process.
"He's been very receptive to the changes," Dahl said of the developer.
Prior to casting his vote in favor of the six conditions – as well as a separate vote in favor of continuing the PTC's exterior materials review – Commissioner Jon Baer noted that he and his colleagues aimed to create the best project possible for the city and the developer.
"When you're a chef and you make something bad, you eat your mistakes," Baer said. "But when you build a building that doesn't work, there's not much you can do about it."

Cadillac ELR Electric Coupe Teased Ahead of Detroit Auto Show
Marking the first use of the Chevy Volt's impressive powertrain in another vehicle, Cadillac will debut what it calls the ELR at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Based on the Converj concept, it will combine the Voltec gasoline range-extended electric powertrain with Cadillac style and luxury in a two-door package. What isn't clear is if the car will use the same powertrain,which produces just 149 hp in the Volt and a 0-60 time of around 9.0 seconds.
The ELR will mark the first electric car by Cadillac as it continues to roll out a slew of new products. This year saw the launch of the new XTS luxury saloon, as well as the 3 Series-rivaling ATS compact luxury sports sedan.

I would also advise against using it as a server - when Mandriva stop supporting it, they will also not produce updates for it, leaving your server wide open for attack. This is poor advice so don't take it.

What does it offer over and above mandriva? Thorn168, you haven't actually answered the question.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention the installer, the hard drive partitioning, APT-GET, and Synaptic.
"I would also advise against using it as a server - when Mandriva stop supporting it, they will also not produce updates for it, leaving your server wide open for attack. This is poor advice so don't take it."
So what if they stop supporting it. You can still upgrade and update the kernel and the packages from the repositories.
You seem to forget that Conectiva was a founding member of the Linux consortium. Working on Standardizing the member distributions for compatibility and interoperability.
Here is the link: http://lwn.net/Articles/111389/
Furthermore, Mandriva cannot simply pull the plug on Conectiva without providing an upgrade path for the Installed Conectiva user base.
Which includes: The Brasillian government, Several banks and brasillian businesses.
Finally Conectiva was a commercial distribution which was professionally developed by a team of engineers. Unlike some other distributions which are the sole project of small group of volunteer developers.
Personally, I don't think we have seen the last of Conectiva.
No. I didn't forget about the Linux Consortium thing, I just didn't think it relevant. Mandrake came from Red Hat, both of which are corporations/companies. So I don't see what point you are making.
Apt-Get & Synaptic are available in all the Debian based distros, as well as the rpm based distros. So Conectiva isn't particularly unique in that respect.
All the distros offer stability. Admittedly, I would love to see a distro website give a disclaimer reading "warning, we only produce buggy and stable code" but it's unlikely to happen.
Unless someone forks off Conectiva, it is no more. Eventually the updates will die out. The Brazilian government will continue to be supported, as will any large entity who is prepared to pay for support (remember that Microsoft have only recently stopped offering paid for NT4 support) but I would imagine that part of the deal is that Mandriva will upgrade the desktops to their new distro. The fork issue of Conectiva could happen, but it won't be called Conectiva - Mandriva got that too.
"Unless someone forks off Conectiva, it is no more. Eventually the updates will die out.
Actually there is supposed to be a fork of Conectiva called Xavante Linux. However this seems to be vaporware.
The laws in Brasil are very different from "Anglo" laws. My impression is that Mandriva will have to continue to provide support for all Conectiva users until the "paying" Conectiva userbase disappears.
And all Mandriva will have to do is say "we would like to move you all to the latest Mandriva version as it is better supported". And, poof, Conectiva will no longer be used on the desktops.
In fact, since Conectiva probably signed a contract which would have said "upgrades to be provided at x interval", Mandriva will also be bound by that.
Since we mentioned Forking in this thread...
Do you know by chance how it is done and what it means to maintain a fork?
I'm from Brasil and my first distro was Conectiva 8. I bought it at a store and it was a very good distro. A little complicated for a beginner, but a good one.
I'm not worried about the end of Conectiva and from what I read it will be merged to Mandriva on the 2006 version. My current distro is Mandriva.

|i am pretty sure that is not a nolina but in fact it is our lords candle
By Randy
Dec 10, 2009
|Definitely not Yucca whipplei (common name: our lord's candle). Yucca's have very stiff leaves (the kind that will impale you if you land on them). The nolina has thin leaves that are "easily" brushed aside and flexible. Based on the photo, this is a species of nolina.

One of my Cali ecology books refers to this as Wolf's Bear Grass or Wolf's Nolina. The book goes on to say that its commonly mistaken for Parry's Nolina, which is actually a smaller variation that occurs on the slopes of Jacinto and the Santa Rosas

Sailors held captive by Somali pirates escape after 4 years
By Peter Martell, AFP Monday, June 9, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
NAIROBI--Eleven sailors mostly from Asia held hostage for almost four years by Somali pirates escaped their captors and are safe in Kenya, mediators who helped secure their freedom said Saturday.
The sailors, who had been held in dire conditions and suffered beatings and torture, included seven men from Bangladesh, one Indian, one Iranian, and two from Sri Lanka.
John Steed, a former British army colonel who has spent years helping negotiate their release, said the men had "sneaked out a window" to escape their captors.
"It is great news that they are at least free ... given what they have been through, they are all in good health," Steed told AFP after arriving safely in Kenya with the men on a special flight from Somalia.
After escaping through a window from their pirate prison, the men were rescued by security forces from the northern Somali Galmadug region, Steed added.
Their boat, the Malaysian-flagged container ship MV Albedo was captured in November 2010 but sank in rough seas last July.
During their captivity, one Indian colleague was shot by the pirates in an argument, and four others from Sri Lanka drowned.
Seven other Pakistani crew members were released in 2012 after a businessman paid their ransom, but those remaining could not afford the hefty demands of the pirates.
"The crew members and their families have suffered unimaginable distress," United Nations special envoy to Somalia Nicholas Kay said in a statement.
38 Hostages Remain
The United Nations said they had been handed over to its care, and "will be repatriated to their home countries over the coming days."
The sailors, like 38 others from different boats who remain captive, were abandoned by their ship's owner whose willingness to pay to free them sank along with their boat.
"While we have seen a significant reduction in piracy off the coast of Somalia in recent years, I remain deeply concerned that 38 other crew members are still being held hostage," Kay added.
On Thursday, three Kenyan aid workers held hostage by pirates in northern Somalia for close to two years were also freed unharmed.
The two men and a woman had been traveling in a convoy guarded by armed police, were seized by gunmen in ambush in the Galkayo area of the northern autonomous Puntland region of Somalia in July 2012.
All three Kenyans were flown back to Nairobi Saturday along with the sailors, and were welcomed at the airport by emotional families who embraced the aid workers, several in tears, Steed said.

.@CNN has confirmed @Seahawks Running Back Marshawn Lynch is being investigated for assault and property damage. #NFL #Football
— Patrick Cornell (@PCornellCNN) August 11, 2014
Per a tweet from CNN's Patrick Cornell, Marshawn Lynch is under investigation for both assault and destruction of property charges. Though details are scarce at the moment, it'll be very interesting to see how the league deals with Lynch, in terms of a possible suspension, especially since any disciplinary action will necessarily be compared to the league's treatment of Ray Rice. For now, though, feel free to make jokes about Skittles in the comments.

Your Town, Jan. 12, 2013
It's been so cold lately, even the North Pole's polar vortex decided to head south for the winter, bringing along its over-sized travel bag, heavily laden with storms and subzero temperatures, creating eerie, yet magnificent ice sculptures in the Midwest and Northeast regions.
Although better off weather wise, here in the West, we're not even a third of the way through the official season and I'm ready to send winter packing.
Only more 66 days until spring, but who's counting? Me!
The Redlands Lions Club has announced that because of wintry condition, its members and volunteers will not be able to set up flags for its flag route customers Monday, Jan. 20, in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The present conditions of cold weather, snow and ice and the safety of the volunteers and members were factors in the decision.
"Most of the flags we place are located on private residences and use a socket that is buried in the yard. These sockets fill with ice or are covered with snow. We apologize for this inconvenience," a news release said.
The Redlands Lion's Club flag service honors 10 holidays — weather permitting — throughout the year for a $30 donation.
The areas served are Tiara Rado, Seasons, Monument Village, Panorama, Village Way and other subdivisions
If you are interested in subscribing to this service or volunteering to help, call Lion Chuck Stevenson at 242-3222 or Lion Dave McIlnay at 433-7961.
The Youth and Artability Program is looking for donations of common items for its class at The Art Center, 1803 N. Seventh St.
The concept of "Art for All" is implemented in the Artability Program through art classes designed for individuals with mental, social and physical challenges.
"Artability encourages our appreciation for our own unique talents, abilities and modes of self-expression," a news release said.
Items needed for the classes are small toy cars, washers, bolts, gears, electric skillet and small metal "stuff." Items can be picked up.
The Art Jewelers Guild is an organization of amateurs and professionals, all joined together to share and grow in the craft they love, a news release said.
The guild meets at 6:30 p.m. the second Monday of the month, at the Grandview Apartments, on the northwest corner of First Street and Independent Avenue.
The guild comprises jewelry makers from the Grand Junction area who focus on the creative aspects of jewelry design, as well as teaching, networking and mentoring.
Visit the guild's Facbook page, its website artjewelryguild.com or call Virginia Jensen at 243-1220 for more information.
Mesa County AmeriCorps is hosting a book drive to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and is seeking donations of new and gently-used reading materials for kids, ages birth through third grade.
Last year, roughly 27 percent of Colorado students were not reading at grade level by the end of third grade, a news release said. The book drive aims to provide some of the resources local children need to turn this statistic around.
There is a big need for books in Spanish. Donations are being accepted through Jan. 17, at the following locations:
■ John McConnell Math and Science Center, 2660 Unaweep Ave.
■ Clifton Bible Church, 523 32 Road
■ Main Street Bagels, 559 Main St.
■ Grand Valley Books, 350 Main St.
■ Starbucks, 570 32 Road
■ Habitat ReStore, 2936 North Ave.
■ The Opportunity Center, 1129 Colorado Ave.
■ Hilltop Corporate Office, 1331 Hermosa Ave.
All books collected through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Book Drive will be donated to organizations such as Wishes and Dreams Childcare, Rocky Mountain SER Head Start and Catholic Outreach.
Welcome Montrose, a free welcoming service in the Montrose area, has tallied its numbers for 2013.
According to a news release, from February to November last year, 205 new families were greeted. Of those families, 98 were retired.
Families moved to Montrose from 28 states from New York to Alaska — and Peru, with most families coming from the Front Range (90), Arizona (15) and California (11).
Cumulatively, the families have 149 children (100 grown and 49 young children) and they brought their pets — 149 dogs, 52 cats, eight birds, seven horses, four mules, four chickens, a fish and a hamster.
A total of 110 families purchased a home and 95 families are renting.
In an effort to welcome the newcomers and introduce them to locals in the community, Welcome Montrose will host three Honky Tonk Boot Stomp dance parties Jan. 17, Feb. 14, and March 14, at the Turn of the Century, 121 N. Fourth St. in Montrose.
There will be dancing (cowboy boots recommended) and a light dinner catered by Pine Cone Catering. Cost is $15 and a cash bar is available.
Tickets can be purchased at http://www.eventbrite.com, search Honky Tonk Montrose, or call Terri Leben at 901-6761.

Taurus PT1911
Does anyone have any good, bad, or other news & issues with the Taurus PT1911
I have had a pt1911 for almost 4 years. I have yet to have any issues with it at all. I also have a colt series 80, but it ussualy stays in the safe. So the tauras is the range and carry 1911. I guess there is a few thousand rounds through it and it is still very accurate. The trigger is crisp and the pistol handles well. The only thing I had to do was adjust the sights a little.
I just got mine & put 35rnds through it without fail. Although I have read several complaints before & after I purchased mine, I just wanted to know how true & accurate these complaints are. I also have a friend who couldn't get 2 magazines through his stainless PT1911 before sending it back. Then once returned the same issue; however since the second trip to the factory it has performed flawlessly for him.
Only issue ive had with mine it has a cracked disconector in it. Run about 1000 rounds so far
Every taurus and rossi ive baught ive had to adjust sights. 3 so far
You'll hear about 50-50 good bad reviews--
Seems like the good come from actual owners-
The bad from non owners ;)
Thanks guys. When I shoot it more, I'll let everyone know how it continues to react
Had one but traded it for something else. Excellent handgun for the price. Ignore all the negative crap, it's a good purchase.
1 Attachment(s)
I've got one in .38 Super. It's great.
Attachment 90952
I have one in 9mm, I've had it for around a month now. I enjoy it a lot, i also had to adjust the sights but easy task
I've had a couple...The only issue I've seen or heard with any consistency has to do with the ambi safety. Sometimes they cna come loose if they where not set to well to start with. One of mine did it...just once. I tapped it back in and it never happened again. Other than that the pistol did everything it was expected to do and more. I would do long periods of time not cleaning it to see if it would mess up. Every type of ammo you can imagine. One of mine didn't like those Cor-Bon HP rounds but those things are like ashtrays with a primer anyway. After thousands of rounds I couldn't kill one. They are well made, well fit pistols.
Some people don't care for the Hiene Straight 8 sights, personally I like them a lot. I always thought it was easier to stack two then line up three. But, sights are replaceable anyway...

The people will demand it.
Either China will stay corrupt, or slowly shange into a bettter country. The biggest way that China would change is by having people like Ai Weiwei in the country, Trying to show everyone what China is really like. This will help becasue the more people that see the things China is doing the more poeple will believe in it, which will cause their government to slowly stop what they are doing, bcaause they can not stay corrupt with everyone watching.
Over time places advance and change, the political society of China may change as well.

no prompt for root password when program requires su privileges
It used to happen that if I ran a program (e.g. guarddog, gnome-xgl-settings)
as a normal user it would prompt me to enter the root password if I wanted to change
a setting that required superuser privileges. For some reason, the prompt will no longer
appear. The only way then to make the changes is to actually run the program as user root.
I've tried both from kde and gnome and it doesn't work on either. Unfortunately, I don't
know when this problem started so I'm finding it difficult to track down what may have caused
I'm using SuSE 10.1.
Make sure su is suid root. If it is, then I don't know why it's not working.
suid is set on /bin/su. thanks anyway

New BBQ place coming to Milwaukee in June
Double Cheeseburger
2010/02/18 06:58:37
From today's OnMilwaukee.com:
Smoke Shack will bring barbeque and more to the Third Ward
[font="'lucida grande', sans-serif"]
Smoke Shack, a collaborative venture between Joe and Angie Sorge (
AJ Bombers
Water Buffalo
, Scott Baitinger (
), Robert Joseph (
Joseph Property Development
) and
Flux Design
, will replace MJ's, 322 N. Milwaukee St., early this summer.
MJ's will close when its lease ends at the end of March.
Smoke Shack will be the third project in the Historic Third Ward for Sorge who worked with Flux on Swig, 217 N. Broadway, and Joseph and Flux at Water Buffalo, 249 N. Water St. Baitinger will join the group bringing his creativity from Streetza and his marketing and public relations savvy from his agency "day job."
"We've learned a lot together as a group," said Sorge. "This project is more than a year in the works and, yes, it will be our third in the Third Ward."
Smoke Shack's team will revamp the entire building, transform the outdoor patio and utilize the plentiful parking that's owned by partner Robert Joseph.
Sorge promises a "funky, cool space" and that the group will "take a pretty unique approach" to the dining experience and the food.
As for the barbeque, I'll have more specifics soon. But, with the quality of AJ Bombers, Water Buffalo and Swig and the addition of another food mind in Scott Baitinger, Smoke Shack should be able to more than take a creative spin on a tradition that's near and dear to Milwaukee's heart, BBQ.
Watch for Smoke Shack to open in "mid-June," according to Sorge.

Quick! Let's have a bazillion posts planning a Contingent Outing!!
I wonder if the restaurant will be able to barbecue on-site using traditional methods or if things will need to be done differently due to air quality restrictions and regulations. I see the excerpt features the term "creative spin", which could be good or bad.

I have a bit of inside info that they will be using smokers on-site.
Also, that they will most likely be open for weekend brunch (Brisket Eggs Benedict, anyone?).
I've also been told that they are going to focus on traditional sides, and that they are going to have vegetarian options (which I can't imagine, but perhaps a smoked Portabello mushroom cap with BBQ sauce or something...?).
Re:New BBQ place coming to Milwaukee in June

Sounds promising. Just how much barbecue could The Contingent eat in a day and how many stops would it take? Inquiring minds want to know...

I believe the
The Contingent
could hit every legitimate greasehouse in Milwaukee and still have room for a couple of the Pie Diva's most decadent creations. Unfortunately, Speed Queen is closed on Sundays, taking away the best of the bunch.
I'm always a little suspect of Barbecue joints created by a consortium, but I'd still be willing to give them a try with an open mind. June is already a potentially busy month. I'm looking ahead to organizing a tour sometime that month (theme to be determined), but I'm sure we could find a day where Milwaukee BBQ was the main focus.

10 states auction carbon allotment
Associated Press / December 18, 2008
- |
ALBANY, N.Y. - A coalition of 10 northeastern states, including Massachusetts, auctioned 31.5 million tons of carbon yesterday in the second of a series of auctions that could help create a US program to curb global warming.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative requires power plants to pay for carbon dioxide they produce, providing an incentive to cut emissions. The amount for sale will gradually be reduced.

Getting the Boot
Its like youre stuck in the ocean on a raft with no oars and you cant see land, Klickovich said. Its the worst feeling Ive had in my life. All you can do is hope and hope. She has lived in the same $560-a-month, two-bedroom Santa Monica rent-controlled apartment for 24 years. I raised my son here. I have no place to go.
Her eviction notice was part of the biggest flurry of eviction notices to hit Santa Monica in the past decade. In the last four months of 1999, notices were sent to tenants in 211 units -- 124 units in December alone -- as landlords raced to get out of the rental business before January 1. Thats when an amendment to the Ellis Act kicked in, requiring a longer eviction process and stiffer penalties for landlords removing their units from the rental market under the 1985 state law.
The surge in evictions -- by comparison, there were 131 units withdrawn from the market between May 1998 and June 1999 -- comes at a time when rents in Santa Monica are skyrocketing under another state law, which allows landlords to charge what the market will bear for vacated rent-controlled units. So far, 3,192 vacated units have hit the market since the law went into effect a year ago, with some apartments fetching more than double their previous, rent-controlled rates.
Its really a crisis, said Sally Molloy, directing attorney for the Santa Monica office of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, which offers free legal services to low-income clients. Even people who have good jobs and good incomes are finding it hard to readjust to higher rents all around.

Its heartbreaking, Molloy said. Its a very enormous problem. Theres a sudden flood of people looking for affordable housing.
For Santa Monica landlords, the new amendment provided an incentive to hurry out of what many consider a losing business proposition, with some tenants paying as little as $300 a month for a rent-controlled unit that could command more than $1,500 in the citys booming rental market.
It doesnt make sense to put a roof over everyones head if theyre paying $300 a month in rent, said Gordon P. Gitlen, a Santa Monica attorney who represents two clients who made last-minute filings to withdraw their buildings from the rental market.
Landlords who waited until January 1 are required to extend the length of an eviction notice from 30 days to 120 days, and a full year for senior citizens and people with disabilities. The new amendment also mandates that landlords wait two years -- instead of one -- before renting again. If a landlord returns to the rental business during the two-year waiting period, former tenants can sue for limited actual and specified punitive damages, and the rent board can sue for statutory exemplary damages.
Its a nutty, stupid, ridiculous amendment, said attorney Rosario Perry, who represented landlords who Ellised their buildings. Its an attempt to cut into landlords rights under Ellis. What happened is, they amended Ellis and everybody freaked out, Perry said. It was an ultimatum to them, and they opted to Ellis under the old law. They didnt know what would happen in the new year. This disaster that [tenant advocates] are talking about is a self-inflicted wound.
Santa Monicans for Renters Rights (SMRR), the citys powerful tenants group, contends that the longer eviction notice reduces tenant angst and that the tougher penalties will make landlords less inclined to Ellis a building in a heated rental market. (They note that there have been no Ellis filings in Santa Monica so far this year.) The recent spate of evictions, tenant leaders contend, is inspired by greed.
Tenant leaders compare the current crisis to the dramatic race to evict tenants and demolish buildings that preceded Santa Monicas voter-approved rent-control law in 1979. There were mass evictions and a demolition derby, and a lot of people were out on the streets, said Michael Tarbet, SMRRs organizer and an attorney familiar with housing law. This is massive. All we can do is direct tenants in the right direction.
Tenant advocates worry that the recent evictions will take a particularly heavy toll on seniors who have lived in their units for decades. In the largest building removed from the market, six of the 45 tenants are seniors on fixed incomes.
It came as a shock to everybody, said Mark Bitler, 46, who has lived 22 years in the 39-unit building a block from the beach. Some of our seniors are exceptionally frail. One is a senior who has been listed as terminal. Hes going to have to go someplace else to die. Another has cancer.
Its not a bunch of yuppies, said Bitler, who pays $512 a month in rent for his one-bedroom apartment. Who knows where they are going to have to live? Certainly not Santa Monica. Theyre going to have to live in a closet somewhere.
Landlords counter that their rush to get out of the business is not inspired by greed. They say that the new amendment to the law -- which they contend is flawed -- represents yet another attack on their rights.
For 20 years, the city fathers have confiscated our property, and all of a sudden a guy decides he wants to protect his private-property rights, and they are irate, said Herb Balter, president of ACTION Apartment Association, a grassroots landlord group. When their policies make landlords indentured servants, thats okay, Balter said. But when a landlord wants to protect their property rights and get out of the rental business, that is a catastrophe.
Several of the landlords who opted to shut down their buildings said staying in business no longer made economic sense. One property owner -- who asked that his name not be used -- said his tenants were filing petitions to have the Rent Control Board decrease their rents, complaining that their units, which averaged $500 a month in rent, were not properly maintained.
Each tenant started threatening me if I didnt do things, said the landlord, who fears the rent board will retaliate if he reveals his identity. I figured how much money I had to spend in legal fees and contractors, and it was almost equal to the rents. The rent board makes you keep the rents cheap, but you have to keep the place up. You got to understand the economics.
SMRR leaders contend that landlord attorneys urged their clients to act before the January 1 deadline so they could go back into the rental market with new market-rate tenants -- or condominium owners -- and minimal penalties. (According to the rent board, 15 of the Ellised properties will be converted to condominiums, while another five are scheduled to undergo remodeling.)
Condos have always been quite a lure in Santa Monica, said SMRR co-chair Dennis Zane, a former mayor. People have always been willing to throw others on the street to make a buck. The Ellis Act is indifferent to those consequences, such as the community loss. We have an affordable-housing loss. The Ellis Act evictions are simply the most dramatic effect. I think there will now be a lot less of this.
The drop in Ellis evictions, however, may be of little comfort to tenants who recently lost, or are soon to lose, their units. With rents skyrocketing, there are few safety nets in place to protect evicted tenants, tenant advocates say. Low- and very-low-income tenants are entitled to relocation money from their landlord or the landlords attorney. Those residents can also apply for housing through Community Corp., and new, enhanced Section 8 housing vouchers are automatically available from the Santa Monica Housing Authority for very-low-income Ellis evictees. New permanent housing for very-low-income senior citizens, who will be chosen by lottery, also is available.
Landlord attorneys agree that Ellis Act notices will probably decrease in the long run, but they note that even with the looming deadline, it was a difficult decision for many landlords to make. When I recommend Ellis to a landlord, its because its a solution, Perry said. No landlord wants to evict people. When you Ellis, it means you failed in your ability to be a landlord. When they Ellis, they know its bad. Its like going on a years fast.

Washington, D.C. — Nevada Senator Harry Reid issued the following statement today.
"It is unconscionable that Speaker Boehner is blocking a bipartisan compromise that would protect middle-class families from the tax hike looming on January 1st – a compromise that Senator McConnell and I negotiated at Speaker Boehner's own request. First Senator McConnell would not let the Senate vote on the House's payroll tax cut bill because he knew it would fail, now Speaker Boehner won't let the House hold an up-or-down vote on the Senate's bipartisan compromise because he knows it would pass.
"As the clock ticks towards a middle-class tax hike, I would implore Speaker Boehner to listen to the sensible Senate Republicans and courageous House Republicans who are calling on him take the responsible path, and pass the Senate's bipartisan compromise to hold middle class families harmless while we negotiate a yearlong extension. I have been trying to negotiate a yearlong extension with Republicans for weeks, and I am happy to continue doing so as soon as the House of Representatives passes the bipartisan compromise to protect middle-class families, but not before then."

What portion of your business currently comes from referrals? While it is widely known that referrals are essential for growth and vitality, few businesses have a systematic approach to getting more of them. That is why I was so excited to read John Jantsch's new book, The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself. Going beyond tips and tricks, Jantsch gets at the heart of what it takes to be a highly referable business. Here are a few of my favorite takeaways:
Start with a referral mind-set. When you have the goal and expectation of getting more referrals, it changes how you do things. Instead of just being as good as the competition, or only slightly better, you set a goal for yourself of being "remarkable." Otherwise, no one is going to be excited about it—maybe not even you. According to Jantsch you have work to make sure that the "core difference you offer" makes people stop and take notice.
Create a referral strategy. This starts from the very beginning of the relationship by setting up the expectation that the client is going to be so delighted by what you have to offer that they are going to be compelled to tell other people about your business. It might sound self-serving but you can make this easier for customers by taking the time to identify—during and after the service—the progress and how the customer is getting exactly what they asked for.
Don't forget to ask. Once the service is complete, there is a natural point where the customer is expressing how much they like the finished product. This is the perfect time to ask for referral. Don't be afraid to be specific. Explain to them what kind of customer you are looking for and even how they can recognize "triggers" that signal a perfect time to make a referral. I experienced this recently while I was checking out at an Aveda Concept store. I complimented a salesperson on his hair and without missing a beat he said, "Thanks, I get my hair cut at Adore Salon in Oceanside with Raelynn. She is great. Here's her card." I was impressed. That was a well-executed referral based on the trigger of my compliment.
Being successful in getting more referrals is a great, cost-effective way to generate more business. John Jantsch's The Referral Engine is a great resource for getting started. Tap into the power of positive word-of-mouth. Get your customers excited about your product or service and help them help you spread the word.

The prime contractor on the Deh Cho Bridge project has signed a cost-sharing deal with the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) to complete construction, which has been plagued by technical and financial problems.
The Northwest Territories' Minister of Transportation David Ramsay spoke in the legislature on June 6 to outline the measures that are being undertaken to complete the bridge.
"The department and Ruskin Construction have recently come to an agreement-in-principle that will help us meet this shared goal," he said.
"The agreement identifies key milestones in the schedule and provides additional resources to meet our timelines. The agreement also sets out how additional costs will be shared by the two parties, with the GNWT's share capped at just under $10 million."
The bridge is the largest public infrastructure project ever undertaken in the Northwest Territories.
Ruskin Construction will complete construction of the bridge for $202 million.
When finished, the one kilometre bridge across the Mackenzie River, near Fort Providence, will replace a ferry and ice road.
An important feature of the cost-sharing agreement is that it resolves all outstanding claims between Ruskin and the GNWT, which reduces the future financial uncertainty of the project.
Serious problems with the construction of the Deh Cho Bridge were revealed in March 2011, when former auditor-general Sheila Fraser performed an audit to determine whether the GNWT adequately managed the risk of entering into a public-private partnership (P3).
The territorial government signed a P3 agreement with the Deh Cho Bridge Corporation (DCBC) in September, 2007, to design, construct, finance and operate a cable stay bridge.
Fraser found the agreement was not actually a public-private partnership, which caused the project to suffer from design problems, inadequate quality assurance, cost escalation and long delays.
"We found that when negotiations concluded, the GNWT did not shift any significant risks to the private partner, as anticipated when a P3 procurement was selected," she said. "During the negotiations, the cost of the bridge increased much beyond the initial estimate. This forced the GNWT to provide more money to sustain the project and to abandon the goal of a self-financing project."
The initial conceptual design had a projected cost of about $55 million.
However, following consultations it was found that the design didn't meet navigational requirements on the river.
A longer main span was needed and the bridge became more complex and complicated, as well as more costly to build.
During negotiations, the department and the DCBC had significant disagreements on design matters.
This was compounded by the fact that each side believed it was the owner of the bridge and was responsible for making final decisions.
The P3 Agreement required the GNWT to approve the design at the time of financial close in February 2008.
But, the bridge design had not been fully developed by this time and the government waived the condition.
This decision allowed construction to start on the foundations and substructure in June 2008, before the superstructure design by Spronken was finalized.
In addition, the original designer of the bridge left the project shortly before financial close.
TY Lin International and BPTech Engineering carried out an independent review and found the superstructure design was inadequate.
The GNWT was advised that the design process would have to start over again.
Fraser said the government should never have allowed construction to start without an approved design and these unresolved issues contributed to delays and cost increases.
In the end, three designers were responsible at different times for the project, which resulted in poor design integration.
There was also a need to deal with quality assurance issues identified during the first phase of construction.
The original contract with Atcon Construction was terminated at the end of 2009.
The inability to resolve design issues within the specified time frame resulted in the lenders declaring the DCBC to be in default of a $165 million government-guaranteed loan.
The project was expected to be completed in late 2010.
The Department of Transportation took over the project in March 2010 and Prince George B.C.-based Ruskin Construction replaced Acton Construction.
The revised construction cost of the bridge was estimated to be $182 million and the project was scheduled for completion in November 2011.
Several different parties were involved in the design, redesign, construction and review of the quality assurance standards and processes at different stages.
For this reason, Fraser found it was unclear who will ultimately accept the responsibility and liability of certifying that the design and the construction of the bridge meets the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.
Construction on the Deh Cho Bridge, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012, is now more than 90 per cent complete. The second phase of construction on the superstructure is underway.
