A storming finish to his round enabled Trevor Fisher Junior to share a five-way tie at the top of a clustered leaderboard after day one of the Africa Open in East London.
The South African ended with back-to-back birdies to move to seven under par alongside compatriots Titch Moore and Richard Sterne, while Sweden's Patrik Sjoland and Dane Mark Haastrup made sure there some Europeans firmly in the mix.
Four players were a further stroke back after 67s, and all of them were South African - Thomas Aiken, Keith Horne, Tjaart van der Walt and Charl Schwartzel, the highest ranked player in the field at 66 - with 16 players at five under on a day of low scoring in the coastal city, more commonly associated with windy conditions.
Amongst those was England's Robert Coles, who fired an incredible six straight birdies to move into a share of the lead, before a bogey on the penultimate par four seventh saw him slip back.
Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke did his best to stay in touch with a four under 69, a card that had two blemishes in the form of bogeys on the fifth and 18th.
Fisher, who is from the Highveld where the wind is not as much of a factor, was grateful for the breeze which replaced the gusts of the previous two days.
"I'm really happy with my round, and it was only when I landed in a sandy divot on the 18th fairway that I made bogey," he said.
Most of the day, though, belonged to Sterne.
The World Number 94, who started his round on the ninth hole - with the 10th, more often used as an alternate starting point, being adjudged too far to walk from the clubhouse - felt he could have gone even better.
He said: "I had it going, seven under with four to go. But five and six aren't my favourite holes, so I played them conservatively and made pars. I didn't play good wedge shots there at all, but I'm still happy with seven under."
Moore, whose biggest career win came on the European Challenge Tour via the 2003 Skandia PGA Open, was thrilled with his display, which included just one dropped shot on the par four 16th.
"It was a good start for me," he said. "Conditions were nice out there and there were a lot of birdie opportunities.
"So seven under is right up there, I played really solid and I'm very happy with where I am. I think professionally, it's definitely the best round I've played."

RALEIGH � North Carolina State rarely lifted the accelerator and UNC Greensboro didn�t have enough firepower to keep up in Monday�s non-conference men�s basketball game at PNC Arena.
The 23rd-ranked Wolfpack benefited from five players reaching double-figure point totals in the 89-68 victory that capped its pre-Atlantic Coast Conference schedule.
C.J. Leslie scored 21 points as N.C. State�s winning streak reached seven games for the longest stretch in coach Mark Gottfried�s two seasons. The Wolfpack (11-2) takes that to Boston College for Saturday�s league opener.
�For our team, it�s a good win,� Gottfried said. �Now it�s time to focus getting ready for the ACC on Saturday.�
The Spartans (2-9), playing without injured leading scorer Trevis Simpson (20.3 points per game), led 32-30 with 4� minutes remaining in the first half. A couple of minutes earlier, Kory Van Dussen�s seal and behind-the-back pass to Kelvin McNeill gave UNCG a three-point edge and caused Gottfried to call time-out.
Freshman forward Kayel Locke picked up some of the scoring slack with 21 points, but UNCG ended up with its lowest point total of the season.
�We turned it up going into halftime,� N.C. State guard Rodney Purvis said.
Wolfpack guard Lorenzo Brown, who scored 15 points to go with nine assists, said, �We played hard and got the job done.�
After shooting 59.3 percent from the field in the first half, N.C. State began the second half on an 8-2 run and never relinquished the double-digit lead.
�When they were scoring so easily in the first half, I was concerned,� UNCG coach Wes Miller said.
Locke, who scored 10 second-half points in the team�s most-recent game against Wake Forest, poured in 12 in the first half against the Wolfpack.
�Made him look like an All-American,� Gottfried said, noting his team�s failure to reduce Locke�s effectiveness going to his left. �He played very well, played inspired.�
Simpson, a guard who scored 25 points against ACC members Virginia Tech and Wake Forest this season, missed the game because of a foot injury sustained earlier in the day at the team hotel on the way to the pregame meal.
�If that�s not freaky, I don�t know what is,� said Miller, whose team lost its fourth consecutive game.
Scott Wood also had 15 points for N.C. State. UNCG�s Derrell Armstrong scored 11 of his 16 points in the second half.

Most Recent Inspiration blog post
Happy Reading!
In this series on the death of Jesus, I have presented four different perspectives on why Jesus had to die: Roman, Jewish, Jesus', and Early Christian. I believe that each of these points of view has merit, and that we cannot fully understand the necessity of Jesus' death without taking them all into account.
But many people today disagree. They prefer to accept one perspective as true, and reduce or deny other perspectives. You can see this, for example, in the letters to the editor in respone to TIME Magazine's cover story "Why Did Jesus Have to Die?" One of these letters said:
Jesus stood up to the injustices of the world and was crushed in the process. That is happening all over the world today, and not only to Christians. People of every religion who see wrongs and try to right them lose their lives. That is what the Christian spirit is all about. LOUIS OSTROM Madison, Wis.
Now it's certainly true that when people stand up to injustice, as Mr. Ostrom observes, they are often crushed in the process. Remember, for example, the brave soul faced down a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square in 1989. He, as it turns out, wasn't killed for his effort. But other students who protested against the Chinese government were put to death because they stood against oppression. Yet Ostrom's explanation of Jesus' death, however true, doesn't go nearly far enough, either historically or theologically.
A pastor from New York City got the historical point in his letter to TIME:
It is inappropriate to look for explanations of Jesus' death that blame God. God is not the one who killed him but the one who raised him from the dead. Jesus died because those in power ordered him killed. They could not tolerate someone who challenged the status quo as forcefully and thoroughly as Jesus was capable of doing. (THE REV.) DOUGLAS P. CUNNINGHAM New York City
Rev. Cunningham is also correct, to a point. Jesus did die because he challenged the status quo, and therefore people in power ordered him killed. But the Reverend mistakenly believes that this historical explanation tells the whole story. It doesn't. At least it doesn't if we take seriously the perspective of Jesus and early Christians. It's not "inappropriate" to look for theological explanations that "blame" God (though the word "blame" misses the biblical nuance), even though we can accept historical explanations that blame people.
Yet, even as we allow for divergent perspectives on the reason for Jesus' death, the New Testament presents the theological reason as foundational bedrock. Though it's true that Jesus died "because those in power ordered him killed," this answer doesn't get to deepest truth. The bottom line is this, according to the New Testament: Jesus died for our sins, in fulfillment of God's plan for salvation. The human agents who killed Jesus, though acting freely and responsibly, were, nevertheless, unwittingly carrying out the divine plan (1 Corinthians 2:8)
By claiming that the theological reason for Jesus' death is somehow more basic than others, I'm not thereby denying the importance of historical explanations, but simply placing them in what I believe to be the ultimately proper context. You haven't really grasped the reason for Jesus' death until you've seen it in light of God's plan. Of course the theological rationale for the necessity of Jesus' death is also something that goes beyond historical proof. I can show you on the basis of historical data that early Christians believed Jesus' death was part of God's plan, but I can't prove that this belief is true. If one takes the New Testament as God-breathed and authoritative, as I do, then one will accept that what the early Christians believed is also reflective of God's own perspective
Ironically, the immense impact of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ made it both harder and easier to accept the idea that Jesus' death was part of God's plan for salvation. The film has made it harder because it exposed us to the brutal, bloody reality of crucifixion. As I have argued elsewhere, The Passion of the Christ forced people in to confront the scandal of the cross. Yet this film also made it easier for some people to see Jesus' death as an expression of God's loving plan. Almost all of those who view The Passion through the eyes of faith come away with a much deeper sense of God's love and grace. They don't blame the Jews for killing Christ, or Pontius Pilate, or even God. Rather, they take the blame on their own shoulders, realizing the Jesus died for their sins.
Let me close with the classic words of Isaac Watts. They seek to answer in a poetic way the reason for Jesus' death on the cross:
When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Can We Find God in the City?
Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem.
Walk around and count the many towers.
Take note of the fortified walls,
and tour all the citadels,
that you may describe them
to future generations.
For that is what God is like.
He is our God forever and ever,
and he will guide us until we die.
In Psalm 48, Jerusalem is so closely associated with God that it reflects God's own character. God's greatness is seen in the height and magnificence of Jerusalem (48:2). God reveals himself as a defender in the towers of this city (48:3). The "fortified walls" and "citadels" of Jerusalem tell present and future generations that God is strong, protective, and permanent (48:12-13).
Does it make any sense in today's world to think of a city as somehow reflecting the character of God? Many of us, I expect, think of cities as places of commerce, commotion, and crowds. We hear of great cities with declining populations and crumbling school systems. Surely, therefore, if we want to experience God, we must flee from the city to the country, where we can find rest and beauty.
As the Senior Director of Laity Lodge, a refreshing retreat center in a secluded canyon of the Texas Hill Country, you might guess that I'm a strong advocate of getting away on retreat. I do believe that, like Jesus, there are times when we need to steal away from the busyness of the city in order to be renewed in body, mind, and spirit. But Laity Lodge does not see the purpose of life as taking retreats. Rather, we understand that retreating for a season replenishes us so that we might go back into the world, which often means into literal cities, as God's ambassadors.
I am encouraged to see more and more Christians embracing cities as places in which God is present and active. We are reclaiming our earliest roots, in which the cities of the Roman Empire were the focus of Christian mission. We are taking seriously for our own day the Lord's command through the prophet Jeremiah: "And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare" (Jer 29:7). Churches throughout the world, like Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, are seeing their cities, not as hostile territory to be attacked or avoided, but rather as fertile ground for the seed of the kingdom of God. The compelling vision of Redeemer Pres reads: "To build a great city for all people through a gospel movement that brings personal conversion, community formation, social justice and cultural renewal to New York City and, through it, to the world."
Whether you live in a giant metropolis or a small town, you have the opportunity to live out your faith in such a way that God is present in the place you live. Through acts of kindness and demonstrations of love, through speaking and living the truth, and through doing justice according to God's Word, you can help your city or town be a place that reflects the very character of God.
QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER REFLECTION: How have you experienced God in the "city" of your ordinary life? How might you live so that God's presence is revealed through you in your daily life?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, even as you once made your presence known in Jerusalem, we ask you to reveal yourself in the cities of our world. Show your justice and mercy, your grace and truth, to the multiple millions of people who live in cities.
Thank you, O God, for those who have embraced their city as a place of mission. Thank you for lawyers and teachers, for construction workers and city council members, for mothers and pastors, for police officers and bankers, and for all of your people who manifest your kingdom in the places where they work and live.
Thank you also for times of retreat, times that renew us so we can engage this world with deeper faith and broader love.
All praise be to you, God of the universe, God of the city. Amen.

An Act and Symbol of Love
Perhaps one of the most startling of the early Christian interpretations of the cross was that it was all about love. It's easy in our day, when crosses are religious symbols, attractive ornaments, and trendy jewelry to associate the cross with love. But, in the first century, crucifixion was about as far from love as you could get. To say that the cross – a horrid symbol of Roman oppression and barbarity – was a symbol of love was to speak like a madman (1 Corinthians 1:18-25). Yet this is precisely what the earliest Christians did, to the shock of their neighbors.
The Apostle Paul was one of the instigators of this paradoxical association of the cross with love. In Romans 5:6-8 he writes:
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person – though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
If, Paul reasons, we had been absolutely wonderful and virtually sinless people apart from Christ, perhaps his death for us would have been merely sensible. But since we were in fact sinners, and as sinners estranged from God and even God's enemies (Rom 5:10), the fact that Christ died for us becomes a stunning demonstration of God's gracious love.
But the cross is not merely a symbol of love. It isn't just a sign that says, "God loves you." It is also an act of love. Suppose, for example, you were drowning in a turbulent river. If a friend of yours erected a sign at that moment which read, "I love you," you might feel a tiny bit grateful. Probably you'd wonder why your loving friend didn't throw you a rope. At that moment you need, not just an indication of love, but an act of love. By dying on the cross, Jesus not only showed God's love, but he acted in love toward us by taking our sin and dying in our place.
Indeed, the cross, which was once a terrifying symbol of Roman domination, becomes a symbol of divine love precisely because it was first the location of God's supreme act of love in Christ. There has never been a more complete and astounding transition in symbolism. That which once sent shivers of fear and horror down the spines of Roman subjects now fills our hearts with gratitude and peace. What an astounding transformation of a symbol!
Yet many in our day have a hard time associating the cross with love. Many non-Christian people – and even some Christians – who saw The Passion of the Christ came away from the movie saying, "I don't see how a loving God could ever demand that Jesus die on the cross. The crucifixion of Jesus was all about Roman cruelty, not God's love." Unless we grasp the big picture of God's holiness and human sin, then we won't be able to understand the cross as an act and sign of love. It is only in light of biblical truth that we will come to grasp, though never to comprehend fully, the fact that Jesus died "for our sins in accordance with the scriptures" (1 Cor 15:3).

It's been widely rumored that Iman Shumpert, the Knicks first round selection, was drafted as a piece of the Steve Nash puzzle. I was in Phoenix last week and it was no secret there that the Suns love Iman Shumpert. Many people covering the Knicks believe that in fact, Shumpert may have been drafted as a piece to move to Phoenix for Steve Nash. The Knicks desperately want Nash and why wouldn't they? He's a pass first point guard, he can shoot, he's 2 time MVP, has unbelievable chemistry with Amare and he has an expiring contract worth 11 million dollars. The great thing about Iman Shumpert is that if we deal him we get Steve Nash and if we don't deal him then we get a great defensive player coming off the bench. I am really high on this guy, I think he has the potential to become on of the best defenders in the NBA. I think a proposed Nash deal would look something like this. Chauncy Billups, Bill Walker, Iman Shumpert to Phoenix for Nash. Contractually Billups must be included to make the numbers work because only him, Amare and Carmelo make enough money annually to match up with Nash's 11 million. I think we'd give them Shumpert and one other player. However I do not believe this trade will happen. After listening to Phoenix radio for a week and Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby speak on the issue, I do not believe Phoenix will trade Steve Nash. If they do trade him, they would do it at the trade deadline. Depending on the state of the Knicks at the trade deadline, it may not be worth the Knicks to give up Shumpert for a half year of Steve Nash. This situation is very interesting but I ultimately believe Nash will stay a Phoenix Sun.

Office Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 9AM-4PM
Assessor: Tuesdays 9AM-3PM
Homeowners Fact Sheet
1927 Assessment
Congratulations on the purchase of real property in the Town of New Baltimore! I am taking this opportunity to notify you of some pertinent information about assessments and their administration that may be of interest to you as a homeowner in the Town of New Baltimore.
March 1st is known as Taxable Status Day. This is the date real property is assessed for the year ahead.* Any changes to the property after March 1st will be captured in the assessment for the following year. New construction assessments are placed on the assessment roll based on the market value of the home as of March 1st and this assessment is used to compute the school tax bill issued in September and the county, town, and special district tax bill issued the following January. The market value of the home is determined by using the completion percentage of the construction as of March 1st. If your home is partially complete as of March 1st, the assessment will represent only part of the total assessment when the house is completed. A partial assessment will be on the roll and increased each year until the home is 100% complete. If your home was assessed as partially complete the percentage of completion should be listed on the Change of Assessment Notice you will receive in early May. The Assessor can answer questions about the calculation of the percentage of completion.
You are encouraged to view the Town Assessment Roll at the assessor's office or when Town Hall is open. We are located at 3809 County Route 51 in Hannacroix approximately 2000 feet on the right from US RT 9W. Assessment challenges or residential reviews can be heard by the Assessor on specific dates and towns throughout the month of May or at any time by appointment. If an agreement cannot be reached with the Assessor regarding your assessment, a formal review may be filed with the Board of Assessment Review. The Town of New Baltimore's Board of Assessment Review convenes on the 4th Tuesday in May, a date known as "Grievance Day". The form for challenging your assessment can be obtained at any assessor's office, the Greene County Real Property Tax Service Office in Catskill, or online at www.tax.ny.gov. A worksheet has been posted on the Town Website at www.townofnewbaltimore.org for your convenience as a guide to filing a review and how to assemble paperwork for your challenge.
Assessments are based on current market value as of the last town-wide revaluation. New Baltimore's latest revaluation was in 2005 and the assessments were calculated at 87%* of 2005 market values for our assessments.*
Tax bills are based upon the information that is published on the Final Assessment Roll on July 1st of each year. Any time your billing address changes; the Assessor's Office should be notified in writing. The billing or mailing address on file is the address where the school and property tax bills are mailed. If your address changes and we are not notified, receipt of your tax bills may be delayed. Tax bills are issued by the school district on or about September 1st and by the Town /Special Districts/Greene County on or about every January 1st. * If you have any questions/concerns regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 518.756.6671 ext 8. Office hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Tuesday through Thursday.

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
The hip-hop star has opened up about his condition for the first time, revealing he faces a constant battle with concentration issues and struggles to compete simple everyday tasks.
However, the rapper finds working in music helps him deal with the disorder.
He tells Britain's Sunday Mirror, "I have ADHD. I'll admit it… I've got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I'm doing stuff and I don't know how to stop or slow down. But it's all good because I know how to control it.
"For every obstacle there's some type of solution. So if you have ADHD it's your passion point. One thing I learned about ADHD is that it's hard to keep your attention and you can't sit still and you're always moving and thinking about a whole bunch of things.
"But those traits work well for me in studios and in meetings about creative ideas… If I was stuck at a different job I'd be horrible and wouldn't survive. Music is my therapy… Music keeps me sane and keeps my mind on something. It's fragile up there.
"My mind would wander, and if it wanders then that's not good because I could scare myself thinking of weirdo stuff. Music brings control to my thoughts. It's not escape – it's just order. I'm making order out of a disorder."

Sometimes, eating cake isn't enough. You want to live it.
So, for those non-eating times, reading a book in which cake plays a big part probably sounds like a fun activity. Well, here's a new novel bound to interest cake-lovers: Take the Cake by Sandra Wright. Here's a synopsis:
Sometimes you just have to take life one cupcake at a
time. Kate Shannon is happy with the way things are. She doesn't
have a Mr . Right or even a Mr . Right Now, but what she does have is
a thriving bakery in Greenwich Village called Take The Cake, and
that's just the way she likes it. Better still is the cupcake to match
the daily quote competition with her barista as they try to outsmart
each other every morning with their creativity. Producing cupcakes
with names such as Woodstock Afterburn and Vegan Rehab is
enough to keep her on her toes, who has time for dating?
Across town, Michael Forrester has gone from enjoying the thrill of success
to wallowing in the depths of despair. With a collection of critically
acclaimed novels in his wake, Michael now spends his days battling
writers' block.
With nowhere to go and nothing to write, Michael's in the
right headspace to find exactly what he didn't know he was looking
Are you drawn in? Well, happily, you can win a copy of this sweet novel. One lucky winner will win a copy, by leaving a comment below with the answer to the following: what is your favorite book or movie which prominently features food?
The giveaway will close on Monday, January 24 at noon PST; a winner will be announced shortly thereafter. In the meantime, check out the author's site here.
UPDATE: THE WINNER! Yup, we have a winner! It is Sarah from TX, who says that Julie/Julia is her pick! Congrats!

Status:Advanced Reviewer
Member since: 2015
Organization: EMD Serono
Consistent and easy to use
Application Area: primary screening
"The main selling point of this device is its ease of use. It can be operated standalone, or integrated into an automation setup. Sometimes the dispensing cassettes can be a bit fickle and clog, depending on the reagents being used."
Member since: 2006
Organization: Abbott Labs
Application Area:We dispense a variety of reagents with the Multidrop in our lab.
"The Multidrop has been a reliable liquid dispenser for many years now. It is easy to set up and the cassettes that are used are reliable and long lasting. I would recommend cleaning them before and after with 70% EtOH. You will need to clean the deck of the unit if you spill anything. It is easy to use, and a great bang for the buck value wise. The care after the sale wasn't a factor as we did not receive a call but it wasn't really necessary."
Status:Advanced Reviewer
Member since: 2013
Organization: Genomatica
Application Area:HTP Screening
"We integrated the Multidrop into a HTP automation station and is has been a very reliable piece of equipment. The only drawback for this application is that the robotic arm had difficulty placing the plate with the supplied troughs. Our solution was to saw down the supplied trough so the robot gripper could fit better. The equipment itself has been accurate and robust. Recommended."

Labelling is an essential part of any product or workplace and labels provide information, warn of potential hazards and can also indicate compliance with statutory requirements, such as CE testing or RoHS approval. On equipment, labels are used for serial and model identification numbers, as well as giving information about rating or end-of-life disposal. Cables can be identified by the use of alpha-numeric cable markers, and many other types of labels are available in various materials, such as paper and polyester, including self-laminating types. Custom labels can be produced using a label printer, with label tape rolls being widely available. Conspicuous labels are an important health and safety consideration and many hazard warning and prohibition signs can be obtained. Labels may also be used to show earth bonding points or ESD warnings. The use of labels is not restricted to walls and equipment, with floors often needing to be clearly marked. Floor labels typically delineate specific areas with lines and corner markings, or show directions in the form of arrows or sometimes footprints. Another important label used for electrical equipment is the type showing test dates. These are often marked by a punched hole and are regarded as being tamper-proof as they are destroyed if removed.

The Most Overlooked Money Making Method Around
Many people struggle just trying to find ways to make money online. Because of the so many scams out there, many have stopped believing there are any legitimate websites out there anymore. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. There are actually more legitimate programs out there than many realize. The problem is, so many of them are so complicated, that's it's hard for people to follow. They usually always end up giving up. Among all the different types of programs available out there, non traditional data entry is actually the best. These types of data entry programs are great because they involve step by step training. In order for one to make money online, they absolutely need experience. So, this is how these programs can be of some benefit. Not only do they provide the jobs at hand, they also provide thorough training. Basically anyone can do this type of work easily from home.
Non traditional data entry simply entails posting ads for web companies to promote their services and products. These are high commission-based jobs in which anyone can do from anywhere around the world. However, this does not mean anyone will be successful at it. It's all in the training, so choosing a good training program is dire for ones success. In the past, a lot of these programs pushed Google adwords as the main advertising method. However, this became too difficult for many and too expensive as well. Many made adwords seem easy, but it's not. It's not recommended for newbies and that was the problem. There are several other 100% free ways to promote web businesses online and that is the sort of resources that a good training program will provide.
Marketing is the biggest business in the world, so it only makes sense that one would gravitate toward this type of job to make money. That's where these home typing/data entry jobs come in as being very high paying jobs. The great thing about them is there is no telemarketing involved, no talking on the phone or by email. There is no selling or delivery or anything of that nature. All one is required to do is place these ads via the internet for great pay. There are specific methods a good program will teach in order to do this successfully. Many people who do this type of work with some sufficient time and effort can surely make from $200-$500 daily which is excellent money. Especially in this economy. This type of job is ideal for stay at home moms, dads and students as well.
Through the years there has been a lot of talk of this type of program and whether it really works or not.I am here to attest through my vast years of working online that these programs absolutely do work. However, they are not to be confused with some type of get rich quick scheme. These are real earning opportunities that take consistency, time and effort. Having a good training mentor is dire to one's success. This coupled with the right tools and resources along with guidance is key. In order to succeed in anything takes work. Even a job at a fast food restaurant takes work.
With everything said in mind, a non traditional data entry job is definitely worth looking into further if you are serious about bettering your financial future. Whether you just want to make a little additional income from home or a full time career, this is a recommended route to take for anyone.

Mayors seek immigration reform
Some of the mayors closest to the debate surrounding illegal immigration say the time is now for a federal response, and they want Congress to act on reform before the moment slips away.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Saturday expressed optimism that Congress will pass comprehensive immigration reform, praising a number of Republicans for demonstrating openness to the issue.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
"I'm very hopeful," he told POLITICO. "I'm encouraged that Sen. McCain and Lindsey Graham and the eight senators who have worked in the past on this issue and see comprehensive immigration reform as vital to our economy and restoring our values."
Villaraigosa spoke to POLITICO after addressing a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, where he called for a comprehensive approach to immigration reform. In an interview after his speech, Villaraigosa also praised Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who has outlined his own approach to the subject.
"I think the recent remarks by Sen. Rubio are encouraging, that he sees a pathway to citizenship as core to immigration reform and [is] willing to look at a comprehensive bill as a vehicle for that," Villaraigosa said.
Villaraigosa, who according to a report in the Wall Street Journal hasn't ruled out the possibility of a Cabinet post in the White House, outlined his vision for reform, which includes a path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants currently in the country. He stressed that while legalization must be "earned, it's not automatic," it "can't be unattainable."
"The time for half-measures and one-sided approaches is over," he said. "The bottom line in this debate is full citizenship. There can be no second-class citizens in the United States of America. This doesn't just make moral sense, it makes economic sense."
A legalization process, he said, would include a criminal background check, proof of English language skills, American civic knowledge and payment of taxes.
( PHOTOS: Arizona immigration law)
To rousing applause, Villaraigosa also railed against deportation policies that split up families, saying that "family unification" should be a pillar of any immigration policy.
"I love when politicians on both sides of the aisle always talk about families," he said during his speech. "They love to talk about families. And that's a good thing. If we're for families, we don't divide them. We don't send Mama and Daddy back, leave the kids here…family unification, protecting the sanctity of family, keeping families together, not only keeps capital in the United States, it also maximizes the potential that these immigrants start family-based small businesses and grow our economy."

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Tuesday, March 23, 2010
The Art of the Paper-Bounds: "... a mélange of sex and violence."
Jacket illustrations, by and large, are a mélange of sex and violence.
A sort of jargon has arisen to distinguish plain sexy covers from "situation sex" (implied rather than overt) and from the few "down-sexed" or "un-sexed" covers. Some manage to squeeze both sex and sadism into the same picture.
The demands of the machine have led the paper-bound publisher to rely on the sure-fire salability of sex and sadism - and that involves him with the problem of censorship.
Retailers agree with publishers that for quick-quantity sale, the best book can be sold by its cover. "The worse the titles are the more they'll sell. Just what the censors object to is the kind of books the public is looking for. That's the way people are, and the only thing you can do is give them what they want."
"Decent literature" groups in scores of communities visit retailers to persuade them to clean up their racks, usually with the implied threat of boycott. Chief among these groups is the National Organization for Decent Literature, which publishes a list of disapproved books and a manual of instruction for local chapters.
The decent-literature campaign itself demonstrates that the paper-bounds have stimulated a new awareness of books in the mass market.
Books that have been on sale in hard covers for several years are coming under organized attack for the first time. In Brooklyn, decent-literature groups sought to ban, among others, three three William Faulkner titles (Sanctuary, Soldier's Pay, and The Wild Palms).
In Cleveland the titles that ran into the most trouble were Freud's General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, The Golden Ass of Apuleius, Somerset Maugham's Cakes and Ale...
... Lucy Freeman's story of a psychoanalysis, Fight against Fear, and John Steinbeck's The Wayward Bus.
In Denver an independent distributor pulled thirty-seven titles out of circulation, ranging from Sexual Feelings in Married Men and Women and Here Is My Body to Zola's Nana.
In defense, paper-bound publishers, besides crying "freedom of the press," point to what they call "bookish" accomplishments such as the New American Library's Mentor non-fiction line and its New World Writing series. Pocket Books has brought to market titles like Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks, Immortal Poems of the English Language, and A Tale of Two Cities. Some of these issues, including also the English Penguin books... are more trade books than like ordinary paper-bounds.
Their distribution is more specialized and centers, for the most part, around colleges and what N.A. L.'s Weybright calls "more sophisticated communities."
But these form a relatively small and unsubstantial part of paper-bound publishing. The bread and butter is still the big, fast seller. New American library is a good example of this. Its Mickey Spillane titles last year sold more than six million copies, which, Fortune estimates, accounted for about a sixth of its total Signet volume. They are all sex and sadism.
Weybright, who prides himself on N.A.L.'s bookishness, becomes impatient when Spillane is mentioned and thinks perhaps too much attention is being devoted to him. "The Spillane books," says Weybright, "are a unique form of 'Americana,' a new kind of folklore, and therefore come within the ken of N.A.L.'s slogan, 'Good Reading for the Millions.' I won't apologize for Spillane."
* Accompanying this week's excerpts from the Fortune article are a broad sampling of mid-century paperback cover scans generously provided by one of my contacts on Flickr, UK Vintage. Many thanks Uilke!

I'm not sure if this TI post is about increased sexually explicit cover illustrations for low budget magazines, or if it's some kind of a cultural statement about the 50's. Those cover illos look awfully tame to me, compared to today's stuff in the movies, on the internet and in porno novelty stores. But hey, this is really about illustration.. isn't it? And, what struct me is the relatively good quality of illustration for such cheesy produced magazines. It must have been a matter of which illustration and title caught your attention over the others, because I doubt that the majority of the people who bought and read those delightful stories of sex, violence and sadism, probably didn't give a rat's rear end who illustrated the covers. And, I doubt they knew if it was a quality illustration or not. So, was this the bottom of the barrel for some illustrators who were earning their stripes, and perhaps the top of the barrel for those that were satisfied with staying at that client level? And, how many illustrators said, "No way, I'm not doing that kind of garbage?" Or, did they say, "This is an opportunity to get reproduced, and get turned on at the same time!" I can honestly say that from the 60's on, no one asked me to illustrate sex or violence or not even sadism. Damn, I must have been a decade too late! ;-)ReplyDelete

To clarify, this post is not about magazine illustrations, low budget or otherwise - its about paperback cover illustrations.
As well, movies, the Internet, and porno video stores are places we choose to go to to get visual material... transit terminals, hotels, variety stores and supermarkets - the places these covers were displayed - are places the general public goes every day. That's where these covers were displayed: in everyday public view. Comparing variety stores to porno video stores sounds like apples and oranges to me... but maybe things are different down there in the States than they are here in Canada. ;^)
Based on our previous correspondences, I know this topic ("things are so much worse today than they were back in my day") is a sensitive one for you, but that really isn't the point I'm trying to get at this week. The topic IS about how a technological and marketing change had a massive impact on the illustration industry - something we are once agin going through - and the point of showing visual examples alongside excerpts from the Fortune article text is to provide insight, context, inspiration AND admittedly, amusement.
Hope this doesn't cause you or others who enjoyed that genteel era first hand too much discomfort.
Not at all my friend, just having a little fun with the "dark" side of the 50's. I recall seeing some of those racy covers in the 50's, on the newsstands in the seedy areas of San Francisco, but as I recall, very little in the business and shopping areas. I worked at a small town drug store as a teenager in the 50's, and they had a very large assortment of popular magazines and paperback books, but I never saw any of the sex, violence or sadism displayed on the sidewalks in front of, or in the locally owned downtown stores. I think in every town there were places, usually in the crummy areas, where you could find those books and magazines and probably even total nudity, etc., but you could find that in the Victorian era as well.ReplyDelete
Anyway, my question is, what motivated the illustrators to choose to illustrate those less than "genteel" cheap paper back books? And, at the time was it considered bottom of the barrel assignments, or a non judgmental opportunity to be published? Maybe it was just the money? Perhaps one of your readers with first hand knowledge, could shed some light on that aspect.
In the meantime, it is glaringly obvious to me and most people I know, including young people, that today we have become more desensitized to blatant sex, violence and sadism, etc. It may be argued that it started in the 50's, but it received a major blast of fuel injection during the 70's. And, you don't have to hunt for it to find it today. Check out the raunchy art on some of the T-shirts that are worn every day.

The technology and the market were there. Covers could be printed on strong paper and became colorful and extravagant on a high artistic level. There has always been a battle between symbolic (e.g. Robert Jonas/penguin) and realistic (e.g. Robert Stanley and James Avati) Like Movies and television the paperback covers changed according to the public tast. Publishers noticed that more blatant sex meant more impressive sales. The realistic covers won the battle and the influence of the art director too. This change was in favour for artists like Mitchell Hooks, Bob Abbett, James Bama, Clark Hulings, Robert Maguire, Charles Binger, Harry Schaare, Lou Marchetti and leter Robert McGinnis and Richard Powers.ReplyDelete

On January 3, in an op-ed in the Washington Post, Secretary Duncan renewed his call for reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Following are some excerpts.
"With a new Congress set to begin, key members on both sides of the aisle are poised to rewrite ESEA, currently known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). In fact, the work has been underway for much of the past year, and few areas are more suited for bipartisan action than education reform."
"On many issues, Democrats and Republicans agree.... These issues are at the heart of the Obama Administration's blueprint for reauthorizing ESEA: more flexibility and fairness in our accountability system, a bigger investment in teachers and principals, and a sharper focus on schools and students most at risk."
"This common sense agenda also reflects the quiet revolution underway at the state and local level. With the incentive of the Race to the Top program, states and districts across America are implementing comprehensive plans to reform education systems and boost student achievement. School districts and their local partners in inner-cities and rural communities are overcoming poverty and family breakdown to create high-performing schools, including traditional and charter public schools."
"The urgency for reform has never been greater. Today, American students trail many other nations in reading, math, and science, and a quarter do not graduate high school on time. Many college students do not finish, despite the clear national need for more college-educated workers who can successfully compete in the global economy."
"In the past two years, I have spoken with hundreds of Democratic and Republicans members of Congress, governors, and mayors. While we don't agree on everything, our core goals are sharedand we all want to fix NCLB to better support reform at the state and local level. So, let's do something together for our children that will build America's future, strengthen our economy, and reflect well on us all."
Note: President Obama is expected to deliver his State of the Union address on January 25.
Budget Update
Last month, President Obama signed into law legislation making further continuing appropriations for Fiscal Year 2011, through March 4. In general, this legislation provides for the continued operation of federal government programs and activities, including those currently administered by the Department, at the FY 2010 level, except that the Pell Grant level is $23.162 billion and the maximum Pell Grant award from discretionary funds is $4,860 for the 2011-12 award year (increased to $5,550 with mandatory funding from the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act).
Also last month, the President signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act, which, among other actions, extended the American Opportunity Tax Credit, a partially refundable tax credit that helps more than eight million students and their families afford the cost of college.
Note: President Obama is expected to release his FY 2012 budget proposal by mid-February.
Bullying Policies
In response to requests for assistance from state and local officials across the country, following a rash of bullying-related suicides, Secretary Duncan recently distributed a memorandum to state leaders outlining critical components of strong state bullying laws and policies. This technical assistance memo is intended to serve as a useful reference for state and local officials developing or revising anti-bullying legislation or policies. In the memo, Department staff compiled key components of existing anti-bullying laws from 29 states. The laws were divided into 11 categories, ranging from listing examples of bullying behavior to specifying procedures for investigating incidents. In addition to the memo, staff are preparing a comprehensive summary of state anti-bullying laws and conducting a study of how those laws are implemented, in the hopes that the data could further guide states in crafting effective regulations.
For more on the Department's efforts around bullying prevention, visit BullyingInfo.org.
Meanwhile, the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention Task Force is now accepting submissions from the public of field-based practices to combat bullying. Entries that are approved for posting online may be in any number of formats, from research articles to youth-produced Public Service Announcements (PSAs). All materials and resources posted online must be free of charge and hosted on a government or non-profit web site.
Teacher Fellowships
The deadline for applications for the Department's 2011-12 Teaching Ambassador Fellowship, offering highly motivated and innovative school teachers the opportunity to work for one year for the agencyeither full-time in Washington, D.C., or part-time in their home statesis fast approaching. In particular, to help achieve the program goal that "the final team of selected fellows... represent the diversity of our student body and settings in which students receive instruction across the country," the Department is seeking applications from the 22 states that have not had a fellow in the past three years: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. All fellows will be selected based on their record of leadership, impact on student achievement, communication skills, and insight from school and classroom experiences. Applications are due by January 17. Fellows will be named in early summer.
Discretionary Grant Priorities and Definitions
The December 15 Federal Register included the Department's notice of final supplemental priorities and definitions for discretionary grant programs. This notice finalized priorities in three key areas: advancing cradle-to-career educational reforms, addressing the needs of student subgroups, and building capacity for systemic continuous improvement. Within each of these categories, there are four to eight priorities, from improving early learning outcomes (Priority 1) to increasing postsecondary success (Priority 8) to improving productivity (Priority 16). The Department may use, as appropriate for particular discretionary grant programs, one or more of these priorities in any discretionary grant competition.
Odds and Ends
Back on December 8, Secretary Duncan addressed the CIA Foreign Language Summit, noting "It's absolutely essential for the citizens of the U.S. to become fluent in other languagesand schools, colleges, and universities must include producing bilingual students as a central part of their mission."
A day later, the Secretary was in New York City for the announcement of a General Educational Development (GED) pilot program, aligning expectations for the GED test to standards that prepare all participants for success in college and careers.
Then, on December 10, the Secretary sat down for a conversation with the American Association of School Superintendents' 2010 Superintendents of the Year, focused on what works and what does not work in school turnaround implementation.
Regarding turnarounds, the Department's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) has released a list of schools receiving School Improvement Grant (SIG) funding, as well as its latest SIG Newsletter, linking states and districts with resources and tools that will help them turn around persistently lowest-achieving schools.
In advance of the White House Tribal Nations Conference (December 16), the Department hosted a town hall event with more than 100 tribal leaders and representatives from across the country. Secretary Duncan offered some remarks, announcing the launch of a new pilot program that will strengthen the role of tribal education agencies and the appointment of a senior advisor next year who will focus on improving education in Indian Country. A video was also shared in which Department staff discussed the lessons they learned at various tribal consultations during the past year.
Sean "Jack" Buckley was confirmed by the Senate as the Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) on December 22, 2010, for a term expiring June 21, 2015. He served as Deputy Commissioner of NCES from 2006 to 2008. He is known for his research on school choice, especially charter schools, and on statistical methods for public policy.
During the holiday season, NCES, a part of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), issued reports on bachelor's degree completion after eight years and the price of college and updated both its rural education and urban education data web sites.
"My heart goes out to the families of those who lost loved ones during the tragic events of April 16, 2007, and to the entire Virginia Tech community," the Secretary said in a statement on the release of the Department's Clery Act Final Program Review Determination Letter regarding Virginia Tech University. "The loss of that day can never be undone. While Virginia Tech failed to adequately warn students that day, we recognize that the university has put far-reaching changes in place since that time to help improve campus safety and better protect its students and community."
Quote to Note
"In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by Democrats and one house controlled by Republicans, who now have a shared responsibility to move this country forward. And, here's what I want you to know: I'm willing to work with anyone of either party who's got a good idea and the commitment to see it through. And, we should all expect you to hold us accountable for our progress or our failure to deliver.... We have come through a difficult decade, one of new threats and new trials we didn't expect when it began. But, a new year and a new decade stretch out before us. And, if we just remember what America is capable of, and live up to that legacy, then I'm confident that we are poised for a period of progress, one in which our economy is growing, our standing in the world is rising, and we do what it takes to make sure America remains in the 21st century what it was in the 20th: the greatest nation in the world."
|President Barack Obama (1/1/11), in his weekly address on New Year's Day
Upcoming Events
The Corporation for National and Community Service is asking Americans to appropriately honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy on January 17 by making the holiday a day ONversus a day off. King Day became a national day of service in 1994, when Congress passed legislation to give the holiday even greater significance. A dedicated web site enables organizers to register projects in every state and the District of Columbia.
School districts and labor leaders from across the U.S. have been invited to attend a conference in Denver on February 15 and 16 to identify ways that collaborative labor-management relationships, policies, and agreements can directly drive academic achievement. Invitations went out to approximately 2,000 districts that secured federal funding in the past year under major programs. The Department will randomly select attendees from those who apply but will also ensure diversity in terms of district size and geography. The event is being sponsored by the Department, in close partnership with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the National Education Association (NEA), the National School Boards Association, the American Association of School Administrators, the Council of the Great City Schools, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Secretary Duncan will join leaders from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Education International, along with AFT, NEA, the Council of Chief State School Officers, the Asia Society, and WNET, to host an International Summit on the Teaching Profession in New York City, March 16 and 17. This summit will convene education ministers, education organization leaders, national union leaders, and effective teachers from nations with high-performing and rapidly improving education systems to identify best practices that strengthen the teaching profession in ways designed to enhance academic achievement. Participants will also engage in a discussion on the vital role teachers play in advancing progressive, sustainable education reform.

'Bless Me, Ultima' review: honest effort
Bless Me, Ultima
Drama. Starring Luke Ganalon, Benito Martinez and Miriam Colon. Directed by Carl Franklin. (PG-13. 106 minutes.)
We could all use an Ultima in our life - an older mentor to teach the old ways, heal terrible wounds and exact sorceress revenge on any witches in the neighborhood.
The title character in Rudolfo Anaya's acclaimed 1972 Chicano novel "Bless Me, Ultima" comes through unscathed, and veteran filmmaker Carl Franklin tries admirably to translate the author's poetic words to the screen. But the film often stumbles in translation, trying to define too many characters in too little time.
The narrator is Antonio, who looks back on a year of childhood just after World War II, after an elderly town shaman moves into his rural New Mexico home. Packed into 106 minutes are a series of vignettes involving Antonio's school, church and family life.
The best source of entertainment is Ultima, played by the wonderful Míriam Colón. The actress of 50-plus years should have been a lock for an Academy Award nomination for her memorable 1996 turn as a wealthy matriarch in "Lone Star." (Colón also played Al Pacino's mother in "Scarface.") John Sayles' "Lone Star" was a much better movie, but this performance is equally vital, filled with a fiery defiance that never becomes showy or overwrought.
Beyond Antonio and Ultima, the rest of the characters are under-formed, most notably the villain of the piece, a powerful saloon owner who never establishes his menace. Lost in the cinematic rush is the book's strong theme of belief, as Tony looks at his plethora of role models and wrestles with his sense of place.
The pace of "Bless Me, Ultima" is reminiscent of Billy Bob Thornton's "All the Pretty Horses" or Lasse Hallström's "The Shipping News" - literary adaptations that got the look right, while lacking the easy flow of the original work.
Writer and director Franklin, a Richmond native, has a good eye for detail and tone. Fans of the book will probably enjoy the honest effort to bring some of their favorite characters on screen after so many years. Fans of Colón's work will be thrilled to see another memorable feature role deep into her career.

So after a long hiatus Mixology Monday has returned. With a big thank you to Paul Clarke of Cocktail Chronicles for running it the past 6 years. Now the torch has been passed to Frederic Yarm of Cocktail
Virgin Slut. The theme for this event, which is hosted by Frederic is as follows:
For this month, I have chosen the theme of equal part cocktails — those simple drinks where only one jigger is needed despite how many ingredients are added. These recipes have gained a lot of popularity as classics like the Negroni and Last Word have resurfaced, and variations of these equal part wonders have become abundant.
For me this is the holy grail of cocktails. We strive to create cocktails that are in perfect balance. But equal parts cocktails elevate that balance to another level.
One of my favorite cocktails that fits this criteria was the Fior di Sicily which I have written about previously. However, I wanted to offer something new for this months MxMo. After scouring around for a drink I stumbled upon the Calvados Sidecar on the Liquor.com website.
Calvados Sidecar
1 oz Calvados (Lairds 7 year Apple Brandy)
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lemon Juice
Combine equal parts cinnamon and sugar in a small saucer. Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with a lemon wedge and dip the top of the rim in the sugar mixture so that it is coated evenly. Place the glass into the freezer to let the rim harden. Combine all the ingredients in an iced cocktail shaker, shake, and strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
Looking at the picture I realized that I forgot the orange twist. Oh well things happen. As I didn't have any Calvados in my house I subbed it with Apple Brandy. The cinnamon and sugar rim is essential and marries well with the Apple brandy, reminding you of cold apple pie.
Irish Whiskey is the forgotten base spirit and while not as cantankerous and moody as it's brother Scotch, it does not find its way into many cocktails. So what better way to celebrate Irish Whiskey than in an Equal Parts Cocktail. While it maybe cliche I wanted to combine it with Guinness. I came up with a recipe that I think works and is quite simple. Yet as I was sipping on it I thought that it would be a wonderful candidate for a topping of cocktail foam. Does anyone have any ideas for what flavor the foam should be? If so reply in the comment section below.
Every Dog Has It's Day
.75 oz Irish Whiskey
.75 oz Guinness Syrup (infused with orange peel and vanilla bean)
.75 oz Lemon Juice
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
In the creation of the beer syrup I loosely followed the directions provided by http://spiritsandcocktails.wordpress.com/2007/10/02/molecular-mixology-v-kentucky-monk/. In a future post I will explain how I created my Guinness Syrup version.

Aprepitant (Emend®) for Ablative Regimens
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Have there been any studies done on the efficacy of Emend for use in ablative chemotherapy? If not what is your recommendation for combating nausea from an 8- day regimen of Busulfan and Cyclophosphamide?
Michael Vozniak, PharmD, BCOP, Hematology/Oncology Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, responds:
At the 2007 ASCO meeting, an abstract was presented (#9112) looking at the addition of aprepitant to standard anti-emetics (ondansetron + dexamethasone). Although it was a small number of patients and full results are not available in the abstract, the addition did provide improved emesis control.
At Penn, we do not have aprepitant on formulary. For our patients undergoing a busulfan (IV) plus cyclophosphamide transplant, we utilize single agent ondansetron, either 8mg PO/IV every 8 hours or 24mg PO/IV daily. We also order, as needed, lorazepam and promethazine to be given for breakthrough emesis. Anecdotally, our experience has been that IV busulfan causes less nausea and vomiting than PO busulfan did. Most institutions have moved exclusively to the use of IV busulfan at this time (with some exceptions), which avoids the problems with vomiting of partial dose and monitoring pharmacokinetics. Cyclophosphamide is notorious for causing delayed nausea and vomiting (>24 hours) and often times we need to schedule additional agents and not leave them on an as needed basis.
Several years ago, I recall utilizing aprepitant on a few bone marrow transplant patients with refractory nausea and vomiting, but I do not recall the details of their conditioning regimen. Obviously, we would consider using aprepitant if all else failed in our patients.
One concern with aprepitant is drug interactions, as it is metabolized through the liver using the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme system, particularly 3A4. Both cyclophosphamide and busulfan are substrates of 3A4; therefore, there is the potential for drug interactions to occur between aprepitant and the chemotherapy. The abstract presented at ASCO performed pharmacokinetic analysis of cyclophosphamide and found no differences. Busulfan levels were monitored in the study, but drug interaction with aprepitant was not addressed.
