When Angelo Spagnolo attended Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts High School (CAPA), in the mid-'00s, Ben Opie, the saxophonist in Opek and Thoth Trio, was teaching there. One Friday afternoon, Spagnolo noticed a CD Opie had just bought that featured traditional Japanese music and asked if he could borrow it over the weekend. When when Spagnolo returned the disc the following Monday, he told his teacher, "By the way, I transcribed one of the pieces on it."
"I said, 'You're kidding me,'" Opie recalls. "I already knew he was a great student. But when he did that, I said, 'Boy, this guy's really on top of that.'"
In addition to figuring out how to copy Japanese music from a recording, Spagnolo was spending his teen-age years absorbing everything from hip hop to classic and avant-garde jazz. He graduated from CAPA in 2006 and moved to New York, studying music at the New School and eventually receiving a BFA in performance and a certificate in music therapy. Now he leads the group In One Wind, which brings together some equally diverse elements: a base in folk music, combined with jazz-like harmonies and ever-shifting tempos that sound complex but never forgo an interesting song structure.
Spagnolo was born in Bloomfield and lived in a few different places around the northern neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. He started at CAPA in 10th grade, at which point his guitar skills were already fairly advanced.
"Angelo came in [having] a pretty mature voice. He already had chops when he started," Opie says. "He really liked rich harmonies and chord substitutions and he really had an ear for harmony. It was one of his strengths."
Spagnolo was also open to different styles of music, and soon his teacher had introduced him to works by jazz mavericks like Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra. This proved to be significant: Once at the New School, Spagnolo studied with drummer Gerry Hemingway, who played on many of Braxton's seminal albums. One of the classes with Hemingway was called Sound in Time; it explored the concepts of how pure sound can create music. For the first assignment, in which the class was told to "go out and record anything," Spagnolo recorded the sound of four electric razors, humming in and out of tune together.
"A lot of it was about looking at these sounds and letting them guide you in your extended technique," Spagnolo says. "How could we literally translate these sounds into a piece, and not just for that novelty, but [by thinking], 'What are the elements going on here? Why is this sonically kind of interesting -- the rhythm or the progression of it?'"
While he's always liked different styles of music, Spagnolo wasn't sure how that would play out in his own work. "There was always two sides of listening to music. [There's] really loving music and … touching upon different aspects of musical sounds," he says. "Then there's this other thing: I like a lot of pop music, folk music and more traditional stuff.
"I was seeing that the endless possibilities were becoming pretty overwhelming," he says. "You can do anything. [I began] looking at the question of what was the role of the composer, and the composer being the performer, improvising of any sort. In what parameters are you improvising? There was a lot of thinking about that kind of stuff."
When he started writing the songs for what eventually became In One Wind, he shifted from his jazz background to something more basic. "I started writing some simple folk songs," he says. "I thought, 'All right, these are my limitations. I'm going to have these three chords or this simple form or some formula of what can be limitations, and just see what I can do with it.'"
But In One Wind is far from an ordinary folk band, as the band's roster bears out. Singers Lily Claire Nussbaum and Mallory Glaser share vocal duties with Spagnolo, in a manner where each one sings off-center rather than sticking to a lead-singer-with-harmonies role. Along with a rhythm section, the band includes Steven Lugerner, who plays an array of reeds including bass clarinet and English horn. (Since recording the album, Nussbaum has been replaced by a vocalist who doubles on trombone.)
On its debut album How Bright a Shadow!, the band plays freely with tempo and rhythm. The opening track "Tuck Me in With Bells" frequently jumps into what sounds like a different song for just a few bars, in a manner that's almost similar to a Carl Stalling cartoon soundtrack. "Go Follow John" alternates between two waltz rhythms that differ significantly from one another in tempo.
Spagnolo says his writing was partially inspired by an article he read about iconoclastic musician Fred Frith, who approaches compositions as a series of durations, rather than a blend of chords. Suddenly the idea of a melody became more expansive to him, bringing all of those far-flung influences together. "You can treat time like more like melody, where you can switch [into different tempos], right next to each other," he explains. "You can go from one melody to the next note. So with In One Wind, we're … writing these rhythmic melodies where they're more like speed melodies."

Praying together in small groups is often one of the most awkward and difficult disciplines to develop. Here is a seven step process you can use to devote one of your group meetings to prayer. This will help the group to become more comfortable with the idea of prayer together, while also providing a good model for them to adopt in their personal prayer practice:
1. Focus – Relax, be calm, be still. Give everyone a moment to clear their mind of the day's clutter, and to simply be present in the moment. Perhaps choose an applicable verse or passage you can read during this time.
2. Thanksgiving – Have group members simply call out some of the things for which they are grateful. These might be big items or small items. They may be something that God has done for them or they may be thankful for an attribute of God. Close the time by leading the group in a short prayer of thanksgiving.
3. Requests – Take a couple minutes and have everyone speak to the people on each side of them. During this time, they should each share one request with the people on their sides. After a few minutes, have the group conclude their conversations and allow about 30 seconds for everyone to silently pray for their neighbors.
4. Reflection – Have 3-5 people share something that happened during their day that made them aware of God's presence. Encourage the others to also be thinking about their own experiences during this time. (if more than 3-5 desire to share, go ahead and take the time)
5. Confession and Forgiveness – Having spent time thinking about the previous day, many in the group have undoubtedly been reminded of parts of their day they would like to do differently. Take about a minute for silent prayer. Have the group members use the time to confess their sins to God and ask forgiveness. Encourage them to ask for strength so that today's mistakes won't repeat themselves tomorrow.
6. Renewal – Go around the room and have each person share one area of their life which God is currently renewing, or they might share one area of their life which they desire to see renewed by God.
7. Closure – Choose an appropriate Psalm and have the entire group read it together in unison. (it may be wise to print it on paper ahead of time so that everyone is reading from the same translation)
(this process has been very loosely adapted from what is sometimes called the practice of Examen)

Development of a residential or commercial project involves a lot of stakeholders: contractor, labourers, wood machinist, ceiling fixer, electrician, architect, civil engineer and painter among others. Majority of these people are paid in cash, an amount which is unaccounted for. If all of these are paid legitimately each stakeholder will have to bear capital gain tax on the entire amount, which is expected to be passed on to the builder.
The cash cost will be even higher in a project being developed by small scale developers.
Sachin Sandhir, Global Managing Director-Emerging Business, RICS gives an example of a landowner who 24 hours before the announcement may have entered into an agreement with a developer where part of the consideration paid would be unaccounted. "Now, since the landowner can no longer do that – he would either sit out on the land, stalling the entire development project, or charge a higher premium to maintain the same cash margins after tax. The same principle also works between developers, contractors and sub-contractors," he adds.
Industry however is divided whether the developer will pass on this increased price on end-user or not.
Sachin believes with progress of time, it will not be surprising to see prices go up as sellers come to terms with the fact that capital gains tax has to be paid on monies. Sellers are likely to factor that liability into the sale price.
On the other hand Ajay Jain, Executive Director, Investment Banking & Head, Real Estate Group - Centrum Capital Ltd says that prices may actually go down. "Due to RERA and strict regulations and penalties to deliver projects on time, developers will be left with no option but to reduce prices and sell existing inventory so as to complete their projects. Thus monetary loss with respect to reduced prices will be witnessed and will depend on the price cuts in different locations across different housing segments."
For M Murali, Managing Director, Shriram Properties high input costs and negligible profit margin means a stable market. "It may have some transitory impact expecting fall in prices, which of course is already bottomed out because of high input costs. Fence sitters may defer their decision for the time being but will understand the reality and come back soon," he says.

This classic dog feeder design will be a stand out in any room of the house. The Regal Double Diner is a simple, elegant, back to the basics design, while still being modern and stylish.
This feeder allows you to serve both food and water on a single feeding station. Besides the ease of serving, the raised level of the feeder allows your dog to eat at his or her own level. Small to large sized dogs benefit from eating out of elevated dog bowl feeders which promotes proper posture during meals and helps your dog eat in comfort.
Cleaning instructions: We recommend using a slightly dampened cloth to wipe down the feeder a few times a week to keep crusted food or water from eating away at the powder coat finish.
The best way to determine the right dog feeder height is to measure your dog's wither height (top of its front shoulder to the ground). Elevated feeding bowls should be positioned roughly 3-6 inches below the pet's wither height.
Below is a good starting point that will estimate the right feeder size based on breed. But remember, the best way to ensure a proper fit is to measure your dog before buying a dog feeder.

A nursing passion for postpartum
While Andrea Ulmer, RN, IBCLC, didn't always plan or dream of going into nursing, she found her calling once she made the decision to enter the college. She works in postpartum at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon and the passion and love she puts into her work deserve to be highlighted. In addition to having a huge heart and a desire to help women as much as she can, she recently added to her skillset and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Here is her story.
Q: Did you always want to work in postpartum? How did you come to work in that area?
You could say being a nursing student taught me a lot about what I did not want to do with this career. What areas I never saw myself working in. I really had no idea what areas did or did not interest me when I first started the program. I was not exposed to postpartum till 3rd year and I was nervous in the beginning. I specifically remember being absolutely terrified to bathe a newborn!
It was in 4th year that I fell in love. There is no question in my mind the RN I was placed with as my preceptor had a direct impact on my career; she was the nurse I wanted to be. My first shift with her I was extremely nervous. She appeared as though having me as her sidekick was likely as fun as having rocks in your shoes; annoying! But we grew to work well together and I am forever grateful for everything that woman taught me. I was fortunate enough to work alongside her as a colleague for several years until she retired, and it was an absolute honour. It is safe to say she had a major impact on my choice to stay on postpartum.
I also remember vividly having an interview with the manager at the time when I was considering working there as a Grad Nurse. Coming out of nursing, many expect new grads to take jobs on medical or surgical floors to gain experience and maintain skills. Now I knew I did not want to do that, but the pressure and comments made had me second guess my path. When I mentioned this in my interview, this manager simply asked me "is that the nurse you want to be? Do you want to be the nurse with those skills?" And I answered with confidence" no". And her reply was then "why would you choose an area you do not enjoy to keep skills you do not want?" She was the first person that gave me the feeling that it was ok to choose postpartum as a new grad. It felt like permission to choose a path less traveled. Without her I would not be where I am today, so I owe a lot to her as well. Plus she gave me a job so she's high on my list of wonderful women!
Q: What do you love most about working in postpartum?
Oh where to start?! I get the pleasure and sometimes challenge of working with people from all walks of life. I have the privilege of being a part of some of the most important moments in families lives. I have witnessed unimaginable joy, and also heartbreaking and devastating sorrow. While each shift has similar routines and expectations, there is not one day the same as the next.
Helping families get to know their newborns is truly a gift. I cannot describe what it feels like to witness the joy in a mom's face when her baby latches well for the first time. Or when a dad tucks his baby in skin to skin and he/she stops crying. I have laughed with families, I have cried with families, and I have been honoured to participate in many monumental memories with each of the families I have encountered.
I am also exposed to so many different cultural and personal beliefs, I am learning something new every day.
Q: What do you find most challenging about working on postpartum?
The general complaint that I think most nurses across the board would say is staffing. I am forever saying that we could be providing so much more for our families with the proper resources and time. When we are short staffed, or left to run at a busy pace based on our current models, the care we provide and the families' experience suffers. And I never feel ok with that. Nothing feels worse than walking out at the end of a shift knowing there was so much more that needed to be done in that 12 hours for those families. It's hard knowing what kind of nurse you have the ability to be, but working in such limiting environments and not having the opportunity to give your full potential.
Another challenge is differing opinions, practices, and approaches amongst coworkers. Again, I think this is found in any area of work. There will always be people doing one thing two different ways. Postpartum is an area with great leeway in terms of practice. I can go to work and give 95% of my efforts, and have the following nurse come on providing very little but essentially getting the same things accomplished. Only the experience for the family can be drastically changed based on who they interact with. It's proven to be extremely hard to uphold standards in terms of providing the absolute best for the patients. I would say that is my greatest battle there. But I just keep showing up and try to give my best effort every time. It's all I can do.
Q: Has becoming a mom impacted how you view your work on postpartum? How?
Absolutely yes. Before having a child I could only imagine what it felt like, could only assume what the sleeplessness and sore nipples and torn vagina was really all about. And then I experienced it. All of it!
My personal breastfeeding journey was not a pretty one. I went into it with the idea of "if it works, great, and if not, I am not going to wear myself down working for it". I had witnessed so many women put so much pressure on themselves, and I swore that would not be me. And then, it was me. It started off alright, though there was some discomfort. Now being a postpartum nurse who happens to be extremely stubborn and struggles greatly with asking for help, I battled through the beginning and probably could have benefited from some advice. But by about the 4th month, my supply started to dwindle and my son's weight gain was slowing. And I tried really hard to keep it going, taking domperidone and pumping every chance I got. But it was not enough, and on Dec 28th, 2010 I was standing in line at Walmart buying formula and crying. The girl behind me asked how old my baby was and when I said almost 5 months, she made a comment about why I was not breastfeeding. So here I was, trying to explain to a complete stranger that I had trouble with supply, and her response was "I had so much milk I could have fed other kids as well as my own"..oh the defeat, and the utter disappointment I felt was enough to send me into a spiral of sadness. Clearly it is a moment that has stuck with me, I remember the damn date!
So coming back to work, I vowed that if I had a mom willing to break her back to try and breastfeed, I would break my back right alongside her. I would come to know the strong desire to make it work, and the willingness to do anything for it. My heart still bleeds for those that struggle, and I often share my own story when it seems appropriate to do so. Sometimes a woman just needs to hear she's not alone.
It's also helped to have the ability to relate to labour stories. Again, knowing there are no two labours the same in this world, but hearing similar stories or symptoms to my own has been a great way to connect with patients.
Q: Why did you decide to become a Lactation Consultant:
I had a moment with a patient just over a year ago now. It was a quiet shift and I had lots of time to dedicate to each family. There was one couple I was working with who had just had their first baby. She was having a very hard time latching the baby and it was an uphill effort the whole time. At one point she asked me "are all the nurses up here LC's?" And when I replied "no" she said "well you are great at your job then, thank you so much for helping me"…and it was truly my light bulb moment. It's the best part of my job, when I have the time to do it. So why am I not focusing on it. Two days later I was going to a breast pump presentation with one of our LC's and I blurted it out in the elevator with her that I wanted to pursue it. That was January of 2016, and 11 months later I have successfully been certified as an LC! It was a real ride…
Ultimately, breastfeeding can account for the majority of the work we do on postpartum, and if the proper supports are in place, it can be a real game changer in terms of a mother's successful journey. I came to find out I want to play an even bigger role in that area of practice. I want to be a part of their journeys, good or bad.
Q: How do you think now being an IBCLC will impact your work?
I think it will keep me accountable to do my single best every single time for each mom I come in contact with. Sure, that is something I have always strived for, but now it's professionally necessary and expected. It's also an area of practice I have seen myself enjoying more in the last few years. I am excited to see where it can take me, how it can improve my practice, push me to be better for all the mom's that want the chance to breastfeed their babies. Plus I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I want to impact the way we practice as staff on postpartum. One of our long time and well respected LC's just retired. She was an absolute trailblazer in that field. She made change happen. I can only hope to be half of what she was to the profession. I want to improve the way things are for women entering our facility. No matter what you choose, or how you choose to do it, I want everyone to feel respected, accepted, and heard. I feel like earning this certification is only the beginning to the work that needs to happen. But I'm excited to do my part.

Meet the Carrier That Made Spirit Airlines Possible
In the 1980s, a budget carrier known as PEOPLExpress changed the pricing model for airline tickets. Now a management group is resuscitating the brand while introducing some twists that Spirit Airlines investors might find familiar.
Looking back, and finding the future
The old PEOPLExpress opened for business in 1981 and flew a wide range of national and international routes. In 1985 alone, the carrier flew 17.6 billion revenue passenger kilometers, according to data supplied Air Transport World.
Early innovations included charging for bags, soda, and snacks in-flight -- unfortunate take-backs that have since become the standard among major and discount carriers alike, though Spirit has taken the practice to new, but arguably necessary, lows.
A few people at a time
By 1987, PEOPLExpress had taken on too much debt in expansion, forcing a sell-off to then-Continental Airlines and parent Texas Air. This PEOPLExpress isn't as interested in serving major hubs. Instead, the airline will target underserved markets when its first 737-400s take off on June 30.
Initial flights will originate at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport and carry passengers to Boston, Newark, NJ, and Pittsburgh. Additional flights to Atlanta, New Orleans, and St. Petersburg and West Palm Beach, Fla. will launch between July 15 and Aug. 28. Competition is likely to be limited to Delta's regional flight to Atlanta, which should make it easier for PEOPLExpress to gain traction and test its flexible pricing model.
Smells like more Spirit
"Air travel had become an unpleasant, difficult and costly experience for many travelers -- and in response to that need, the new PEOPLExpress was born with a name that left an indelible mark on aviation history," longtime airline executive Jeff Erickson said in a press release announcing the carrier.
Just as Spirit offers customers a variety of upgrades from an ultra-low base fare, PEOPLExpress pitches a customized flying experience where passengers can choose the amenities they need. Or, if they wish, just buy the cheapest available seat.
Fares begin at $76 each way. Cabins include coach and "Living Large" seats that offer extra room and run $59 per segment. Exit row seats cost $25 extra, and pre-assigned seats another $15. Fees add up quickly if you want to fly comfortably, or if you want to store anything. Overhead space is $25 per bag. Checked bags cost $20 for the first and $25 for the second.
Sound over the top? Maybe it is, but I can hardly blame PEOPLExpress for pricing this way. According to S&P Capital IQ, Spirit Airlines has grown revenue more than 20% in each of the last two years and the trailing 12 months, all while enjoying a better-than-30% gross margin and 20%-plus returns on capital. An enviable (and uncommon) record that PEOPLExpress, in building on its history, will seek to duplicate.
For now, there's no way to invest in PEOPLExpress. But if the airline catches on, it'll be a good sign for Spirit and others who've embraced the a la carte pricing model. For investors, that makes this a story worth watching.

Republicans love a Work-A-Holic! Great for the bottom line. That's really why Palin was chosen.....and her Girl Parts really sticks it to Hillary...this is the Repubs big FU...to her.
What's more hard-working than a Mother with a Job outside the home? A migrant worker? A prisoner on the chain gang?
When you have children you have a choice, mostly. Stay home, mostly, and actually raise your own children. Or, work part-time and farm out the parenting to a (you hope) lovely and wonderful person who can be as good as you are at least for the time you are working or whatever. Or, work full-time and farm out 75% of parenting.
Let's complicate the matter even more. A special needs child. OK. 2 special needs children.
One infant with Downs and one pregnant teenager.
Say what you will, and it will all be said, one child is hard enough, 5 is a small baseball team.
So.....Repubs love to seduce you and guilt you with the image of the Perfect Mother....Stay At Home and raise children.....OH WAIT !!!!
That may or may not be the Repubs current image of the Perfect Mother anymore. The Perfect Mother works ! It's good for the economy because a working mother needs pantyhose, a working wardrobe, Starbucks, lunches out, and lots and lots of Guilt purchases for the children a working mother never gets to see often enough.
I have 3 kids. I know a lot about working and juggling.
I also worked all my life.....I'm working class. I only finished my degree at age 51 !
So...as a working mother, I put my family's needs before my own. I did not think about my own self-interest much, I certainly didn't think my employers needs came before my kids. Employers hate that!
I breast-fed. Oh sure you can pump and juggle, but at the end of the day, working full time with a breast-feeding infant is just short of crazy.
What she gonna do? Stump and Pump?
I became self-employed mostly because it was best for my family.
What choices does Sarah Palin have? Surely she isn't really raising her own children. Someone else is doing that. And that may be alright. But, it is a physical fact. She isn't doing much mothering.
Oh sure, I've heard it all. Quality over quantity is the buzz phrase right?
Deep down, most mothers know that's a lie.
There's a reason why women have these dilemmas. Estrogen. The Human Condition. We are made this way by selection, because the children who receive the most attention from their parents are the children who do best in life.
We don't ask how will Obama parent and run the country.....He's already got his priorities in order. He has a parent who will step in for all the essential parenting needed while he is saving the world from hard-working Repubs. Sarah Palin has a husband who clearly hasn't been around much. And doing what kind of parenting? He seems great at making the babies....not so much on actually raising the babies.
Money can "buy" a lot of things. They can make working mothers feel better about the fact they aren't raising their children. Someone else is. Maybe this is best for the kids....after all.
So, Sarah Palin is the New Perfect Mother. She has a lot of Kids. She has works full time. She is a pro-life Repub. She works at least 2 jobs. She's a she. She's Perfect....and now you will be held to this higher standard.
It isn't good enough anymore to be a mom. Now it's "normal" to have a job too. Another job, too.
Hurrah!!! Feminists Win!!! the social revolution.
And it's pretty funny now to see the Repubs go All Feminist after years of Ms.-Hating....Phyllis Schlafly anyone? Hardly anyone told women to get barefoot and pregnant more often than Phyllis, while she had 6 children and a law degree and a full-time career!! Talk about hypocrisy!!
But let's chat about a Pregnant Teenager.
Surely, Palin is a failure there! It is never a good idea for a teenager to get pregnant. Please click here and read an article that I'd have written, but for the fact I really do Have to work.....and I have no time to do all the research that backs up my/her argument.
And my position is that if you really care about your daughters and sons, you will not let them get pregnant too soon. A pregnant teenager is an admission of failure in the parenting department. It sentences a girl and often a young man to a lifetime of poverty and diminished dreams. And that hurts us all.
Someone who can't even pull off great parenting with money to play with, is a terrible example of parenting. It's not Ooopps!
But even this will "play" to those families that have had to endure a pregnant teenager. Kinda sad and funny, how such a human failure is now somehow magically qualified to be the Leader of the Free World!
The messiest part of the Palin family saga is that the poor teenager will have to play out her life in the public arena.
Even if Bristol wanted to get an abortion, how could she now? If she wanted to give the baby up for adoption, how can she? She is her mother's pawn. Bristol has to do what's best for her mother. Bristol doesn't get to make her own decision. What does Bristol want? We'll never really know.
Here in Pierce County, pregnancy rates for 15-17 yr. olds is on a downward trend.
It simply is a fact that, "...unintended pregnancy is associated with a number of detrimental risks and poor health outcomes......greater risk of infant mortality, and increased risk of the child being abused or neglected....."
If Palin was a competent mother and a competent manager she would decline the offer of Veep.
She already has a job or 5 or 6 or 7 !
Enough! Why is stretching a family past its limits a Good Thing? Is it good for the economy? A cancer cell and a pro-development capitalist have the same ideology. Growth for growth's sake.
But like I said, Repubs love a hard worker. Even if we all have to suffer for it.

Prop. 13 remains controversial after a quarter of a century / ECONOMICS: / Budget woes fuel opposition to tax measure
2003-08-16 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- California fired the first shot in the modern anti-tax movement with Proposition 13, but in the quarter-century since, it has also been blamed for a host of the state's ills, from the decline of California's education and transportation systems to the state's record budget deficits.
"There is no question it ought to be repealed because it has been disastrous for California," said George Akerlof, a Nobel laureate economist at UC Berkeley. "The idea that there might be some relief from Proposition 13 is one of most exciting things I've heard in California politics in many years."
Akerlof's short-lived optimism came Friday after billionaire financier Warren Buffett, now an economic adviser to Arnold Schwarzenegger, suggested overturning Prop. 13 during an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Campaign spokesmen for Schwarzenegger, a Republican candidate in the recall election of Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, quickly distanced themselves from Buffett's comments, however, and said it wasn't the candidate's position.
Prop. 13 was passed in 1978 by nearly two-thirds of California voters who were infuriated by rapidly escalating property taxes during one of the nation's worst periods of inflation. At the time, California real estate was rising more than twice as fast as inflation.
The amendment to the state Constitution limits property taxes by capping increases in assessed valuations at 2 percent a year and the overall property tax rate to 1 percent a year and allowing reassessment only when the property changes hands.
The critics contend Prop. 13 has distorted the state's tax system by shifting the burden to sales and income taxes, created huge unfairness between new home buyers and long-term owners and removed an essential element of local democracy from the state's political system by centralizing tax and spending decisions in Sacramento.
But its supporters counter that Prop. 13 is not to blame for the state's budget ills, that lies with irresponsible spending decisions by politicians.
"The fact is that Prop. 13 has protected home ownership for working California families for the last 25 years," said Kris Vosburgh, executive director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, named after the creator of Prop. 13.
Referring to Buffett, Vosburgh said, "The world's second-richest man is apparently detached from the reality of those who must work hard every month to meet a budget."
Still, critics and supporters agree that the proposition has held down property taxes but not held down overall taxes nor throttled government in the way its founders had hoped.
Instead, state government has turned to the income and sales taxes to replace the lost revenue, and local governments and school boards have resorted to a wide variety of often hefty fee increases for new construction and other items.
Critics and supporters also agree that Prop. 13, among the nation's first tax-limiting measures, was flawed by focusing strictly on rapidly rising property taxes that were forcing some people from their homes.
"It's a flawed remedy, and it certainly deserves further scrutiny now, given our budget problems," said Alan Auerbach, a professor of economics and law at UC Berkeley. "Income and sales taxes in California are already at pretty high levels, and one reason is that the state has had to assume a lot of responsibility for state and local expenditures over the years because Proposition 13 eroded the property tax base."
Alvin Sokolow, a public policy specialist at UC Davis, said the initiative has seriously damaged local democracy by depriving local elected officials of basic budget responsibility and accountability.
"We elect our city council members, our county supervisors and our school board members to do things for us, and we want to have them have some power to do those things," said Sokolow. "By not allowing them much discretion in raising revenues to support public services we do ourselves and them a great disservice by cutting into the local autonomy that is so important to local democracy."
Even sympathizers of Prop. 13 concede that it has created tax distortions, most notably unfairness among homeowners living in similar houses next door to each other but paying vastly different property taxes.
They said that more recent government-limiting measures such as Colorado's overall limit on the entire state budget are a better approach to the problem the Prop. 13 founders were aiming to solve.
"Nothing is perfect, I suppose, and it probably does make more sense to put an overall cap on government as Colorado did," said Chris Edwards, director of fiscal policy for the libertarian Cato Institute in Washington. "But in a lot of ways, Proposition 13 was the first stab by the whole movement at limiting government, and later propositions and amendments in other states have probably done it in a more straightforward and broader manner."
Still, to most conservatives, Edwards said, "Proposition 13 has been a success, because it has limited people's taxes, and if Schwarzenegger is running as a Republican, it's an odd thing for a Republican's campaign adviser to come out at the start of a campaign and say taxes aren't high enough."
Vosburgh blames the sharp rise in state government spending during the late 1990s for the state's budget problems.
"When it comes to limiting government growth, Proposition 13 has been a failure," Vosburgh said. "What it has done is stabilized neighborhoods and allowed people to have a reasonable expectation of being able to stay in their homes."
The basic issue, said Auerbach, is "how much you trust your legislators and political leadership in general, and, of course, in California, we don't. But unless we figure out a way to spend a lot less than we're spending now, we will need tax revenue from somewhere. What's the alternative? All taxes are bad, and the question is where you get the money from."

Many potential buyers are still rebounding from the credit ramifications of the real estate fall in 2009. These buyers may have excellent jobs, a down payment and an ability to make sizable monthly payments towards a mortgage. However, due to credit woes they are unable to qualify for a home.
Sellers may be able to benefit from assisting these eager buyers by facilitating an owner will carry for their listing. Here are some reasons why an owner will carry can be profitable to sellers.
- Make More Money: Financing is an important factor in selling a home as it can make a huge difference in who can buy your home. Some buyers have plenty of money for a larger than normal down payment but no credit. Those buyer's with poor credit will pay a higher price for a home with owner carry terms as there are very few available. This can be very beneficial to the seller, equaling a higher down payment and more money in the long run.
- Retire: Retired and want to liquidate your real estate investment but don't have a good safe place to put your money to produce income for your best years. Why not leave it in your home and receive a very safe and profitable income from your investment. The way to accomplish this is through an owner carry with a note and trust deed recorded against the property. With a large down payment this is one of the safest methods to create long term income at a very low risk.
- Stand Out: Another reason to owner carry is it makes your property different from 99% of the properties on the market that don't have those same terms for people with money and income but a bad or no credit score. When you make your property stand out like that, selling is considerably easier and quicker.
- More Buyers: By having an owner will carry you open your home up to more buyers. We recently had a buyer who could put down $300,000 but had some past credit issues. By being an owner will carry you open the door for more buyers like our client who are eager to buy and willing to put a large amount down.
- Happy Buyers: Buyers, who have struggled to find a perfect owner will carry home, will be so elated to find your home. Buyers who are looking for an owner will carry home spend a lot more time looking than a typical buyer because owner will carry homes are few. These buyers will be elated to work with you.
Overall, an owner will carry could be a wise investment in your future between making more money, standing out and working with eager buyers. Please contact us if you are interested in finding out more about listing your home as an owner will carry.

|Director: Stephen Frears
|Country: UK/USA/France
|Cast: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan
|Production Year: 2013
|Duration: 98mins
Judi Dench delivers another Oscar-worthy performance in this real life story based on the book by former BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith. In his finest screen performance to date Steve Coogan plays Sixsmith, a political writer recently sacked from his job, who is approached at a party and offered a chance to cover a different kind of story.
Philomena is an Irish woman now in her late 60s, who was forced to give up a child she had 50 years ago. While living at a convent for unmarried mothers, her child was given to an American couple, and she never saw him again. Sixsmith decides to take on Philomena's story, and helps her track down the son she never knew.
"A gently powerful and absorbing film that will have audiences veering between tears and laughter." Screen International

Africans vs. African-americans vs. Caucasians
By Blunt Head, 26th Jan 2011 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutFamilyCommunity
This is not an attack on Africans, African-Americans or Caucasians. This is my opinion on why the Black race is drastically falling behind other races in terms of economical and technological advances.
- Hatred on the Colour Black
- Caucasian Dependency
- Exploitation of The Black Race
- Economical Slaves
- Slavery in the 21st Century
Hatred on the Colour Black
Black people from America don't want to be acknowledged as Blacks or Africans even though their veins are filled to the brim with African blood – their descendents originated from Africa, but they still insist to be known as African-American or Coloured people.
Most African-Americans despise Africans, as they perceive them as savages; naked and running wild in the forests of Africa due to the brainwashing that the Caucasian race as implemented on the Afro-Americans hundreds of years ago to hate anything black especially anything or anyone from Africa. Africans on the other hand, openly embrace their fellow long-lost brothers and sisters from the West.
There is so much division between black people from all walks of life, African-Americans disregard their African heritage and Africans are starting to do the same thing. Blacks don't want to be associated with anything African, beautiful black women bleach their skins and put long straight weaves into their hair to look like their Caucasian counterparts. The funny thing is that most Caucasians don't conceive them as their counterparts, but rather as inferior and less intelligent to their own white race. How can Black People move positively forward when they abandon their powerful rich roots and their colourful vibrant past?
Caucasian Dependency
Black people all over the globe are solely dependent on other races for everything they consume, from food, clothes, cars and many other products that they cannot produce for themselves. African-Americans are just concerned about wearing Timberland boots (even though their executives are against advertising to Black people), driving flashy cars (while their numerous off-springs don't even have a college fund). They like sitting in front of the t.v. all day and watch filth such as M.T.V, and B.E.T. Everywhere, all around the world, Black people are killing each other, from the streets of Harlem to the streets of Somalia. They never learn from their mistakes, they repeat them all over and over again, while Caucasian leaders sit back and laugh heartily at their stupidity.
Black people from Africa, America and the Caribbean should strive to work together in the recovery of their natural resources and establish Black owned industries that can convert their raw materials to final finished products to be sold abroad to Caucasian countries at exorbitant prices, just like the Whites doing to Africa. This will keep the inherited riches of Africa in Black hands. Other races are advancing rapidly to new heights in technology, medicine, economy and infrastructure except Black people, the only thing they dominate is sports and music, but yet Blacks don't own any factories that make sports or musical equipment nor do they own any music distribution companies. How are Black people going to advance if they only study the easiest courses in college such as Business Administration and Social Science. They need more Black engineers, scientists and doctors. Black people world over should remember they came from Africa, the richest continent in the world, yet it's Whites from America, Europe, Asians and Indians who are enjoying the wealth of Africa while Africans themselves starve to death and their Black leaders dance to the tune of Whites.
Exploitation of The Black Race
White America had funded the now deceased rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, from Angola, with money and weapons to cause civil unrest while America used the opportunity to rob Angola blind of its immense oil and diamond deposits, and still continues to do so till this day. Africa is still being exploited by Caucasians governments from all around the world. They buy off many corrupt African leaders, so they can continue to rape Africa's natural resources while its people live on less than U$ 1.00 a day.
Economical Slaves
When will Black people be economically free from other races. Are they the least intelligent race in the world? I don't agree with that notion. Black people have to rise above the propensity for luxury goods that only lose value over time. They should let go of the inferior mentality Caucasians have been feeding their minds for over 500 years, they need to unite all Black people from Africa, America and the Caribbean. The Black race need to establish Black owned enterprises where they have total control of all aspects of the operations. They should stop investing their money in Caucasian companies, as only the White race will benefit from the profits in the long run. Since Black people love gold and diamonds so much, why don't they start establishing refineries where they can refine the ore themselves and produce jewelry and other goods, instead of shipping the raw materials to White controlled countries where it'll be refined and sold back to them at exorbitant prices.
Slavery in the 21st Century
A worldwide Black Revolution should occur soon, or otherwise Black people will continue to be economic slaves till the end of days. They have to fight back against White rule, not by physical means, but by using their most powerful weapon – their mind, they need to tap into the most inner depths of their intelligence and exert tenfold to the Caucasians, what atrocities they committed against them!

3g Dock Replacement
tdmazz -
Mein Problem
My daughters dog stepped on her Phone with the charger was plugged in, ruining the Dock Connector. This accidental damage was not covered under our Apple Care Insurance Plan.
Meine Reparatur
I found this web site while doing a search for a phone replacement. Being a DIY person, I researched your site & found the Dock Replacement instructions & figured I could do it. I have done my own computers but nothing on the scale this small. The instructions were very well layed out, step by step. Also the videos were alot of help. I ordered the Dock Connector which came in a couple of days. Again, I followed the instructions step by step to take the Dock out & then reversed the steps to put the phone back together. My daughter & I were very pleased with the out come, especially her, the phone works fine. This site is very good & now I know what repairs can by made at home if our warranty doesn't cover certain damage. I have recommended this site to friends & family who like to do there own repairs.
Mein Rat
I had all the necessary tools needed. 00 screw drivers, Magnifying glasses, magnets, eye loops, toothpick etc. So if you don't have this stuff you will need to purshase them from a Hardware store. You need a good set of eyes, which I don't, so make sure you have magnifying glasses, I can't believe they can make screws that small!! The magnet was used so I didn't lose any screws, if you drop one on a rug forget about it! Sorry I didn't take any pictures. I wasn't expecting to write a review but I was so impressed by this web site & the info they made available, that I had to write something. Also, the shipping was very fast so her Phone was not down that long, only 3-4 days & that included the time to repair it. I can't say enough about the quaility of this web site. Thanks
PS I didn't even mention the $100.00 I saved by doing this myself. Apple wanted $100.00 for the updated Apple Care Plan to cover Accidental Damage & $50.00 to replace the phone. This repair cost me a total of $46.73
Thanks Very Much...John

Leaf performance analysis of four radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. sativus) cultivars grown in controlled cabinets under varying temperatures and irrigation levels

Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1 and Altox F1 radish cultivars were grown in controlled 20 and 12°C cabinets and they were subjected to 0, 33, 66 and 100% depletion of peat moss available water capacity (AWC). The objective of this experiment was to determine the performances of leaf growths of four radish cultivars in response to varying temperatures and irrigation levels. The obtained results showed that radish grown in 20°C cabinet substantially exceeded that of 12°C in plant leaves dry weight (13.13%), leaf area index (34.1%), leaf number (7.6%) and mid blade length (13.6%). On the other hand, 12°C showed superiority over 20°C in plant leaves fresh weight and leaves thickness by 12.1 and 33.6%, respectively. Additionally, slower leaf generation rates of radish grown in 12°C cabinet, as compared to that grown in 20°C. Plant leaf area of Topsi, Famox F1, Corox F1 and Altox F1 irrigated by 0% AWC depletion substantially surpassed their corresponding plant leaf area irrigated by 100%AWC depletion by 40.03, 43.87, 80.12 and 115.79%, respectively. Radish cultivars can be ordered according to their superiorities as follows: Altox F1 > Corox F1 > Famox F1 > Topsi. Radish leaves were affected more by irrigation levels than temperatures. However, 12°C substantially ameliorated the drought adversities; the lowest values of all detected parameters were for radish grown in 20°C cabinet which showed signs of wilting. Topsi preferred higher temperature and showed susceptibility at 12°C in contrast to other cultivars, particularly Altox F1 which performed well at 12°C. Cultivars can be placed according to their drought resistance in the following order: Altox F1>Famox F1>Corox F1> Topsi.
Key words: Radish, cultivars, temperature, irrigation, leaves.

As we come to yet another year end, we reflect back on the year. There is a new leader at ONC, the ICD-10 transition is truly happening, Meaningful Use Stage 2 has had some changes, more healthcare provider organizations in the United States have implemented an Electronic Health Record and Patient Engagement initiatives are off to the races. IT Departments within provider organizations are busier than ever and many EMR experienced resources continue to turnover as the industry slowly matures.
With 2014's imminent arrival and initiatives culminating during that time, good advice would be to stay focused, remember that stay ahead of the game and make sure to try and get as much done in advance as possible so that there is time for adjustments as you get closer to the dates that projects are required for completion. For ICD-10, vendors really need to bear in mind that they are holding up project completions across the country and need to be aware that if they want to charge customers to be ICD-10 compliant with their software, they risk potential loss of relationships with those customers. Most vendors have not charged their provider customers with an ICD-10 compliant version and that is the best thing that they could have done. If you don't have an ICD-10 compliant version of your software by now or have a statement of readiness, recommendation would be to re-evaluate your vendor and product and think about alternatives.
Think about the cloud, think about what it would take to get there. This year is also about analytics. With all of this information now at your fingertips, think about how the organization can leverage this information to achieve better outcomes. XP to Win7 migration is around the corner. Be mindful of the risks associated with HIPAA. Think about the enterprise architecture your organization has. In 2014, this blog will discuss these topics, including a topic covering areas that cover the patient experience and security as well.
Until then, stay safe, enjoy your New Year's celebrations and see you in 2014.

Yes, summer is no doubt over here in WI. I have traded my sunscreen and bug spray out for chap stick and hand warmers and I don't like it!!!! I know I know, I should be used to this by now but it's no secret I dislike winter with a passion.
Anyhow, I thought I would share with you my first walk in over a month in a forest setting that was on my own free will, not meant for any sort of exercise, and it was simply just to get out, breathe, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors before old man winter freezes everything into a solid state of miserable.
We here had a rough week this past week. My husband had some nasty illness that really leveled him. He came home from work one day early to sleep, slept on the couch four nights in a row, ran a high fever with not much relief from any fever reducing medications, and hardly ate much all week. So finally, when he said he was feeling up to doing something, we took a walk. Fresh air never hurt anyone is my thought.
It was gorgeous in the woods. Trees were all colors and the ground was just as colorful. Never have I seen a purple mushroom like I found on todays walk.
It felt so good to get out and enjoy a few hours of nothing…..just nature.
It makes me sad winter is right around the corner. Although, like most things, it will pass. I can just hope it passes by quickly and with not much snow and ice.

Arterial blood gas analysis is used to evaluate oxygen and carbon dioxide gas exchange and acid-base status. Few studies identify indications for arterial blood gas analysis, especially with regard to optimizing the quality of patient care. General indications in severely ill adults usually include pathophysiologic abnormalities that can alter gas exchange or acid-base disturbances. Most commonly identified general indications have not been prospectively studied to determine if this analysis is necessary for diagnosis or management. Clinical settings where analysis is indicated involve patients with acute asthma in the emergency room, postoperative treatment of patients who have had coronary artery bypass graft surgery, stable patients in the intensive care unit, and patients receiving prophylactic supplemental low-flow oxygen by nasal cannula. Advances in noninvasive monitoring have suggested other possible clinical settings. However, further prospective, controlled clinical studies are needed to establish indications for arterial blood gas analysis and the role of noninvasive monitoring.

These mellow September days! A shower here and there. Leaves falling and suddenly the park is bursting with activity. All the ducks are grown and feeding and preening and very busy. It must be caused by the diminishing length of the days. But the light of September and October is so precious and crystalline (when it's not obscured by torrents of rain or fog).
I drew this view of the bridge yesterday morning. I like trying to suggest the different states of the water: flowing and still, home to ducks and geese and tiny fish.
The ducks were quite busy feeding and paddling up the current. Then they would drift down sideways and across the current and start over again. They all look so relaxed! Natick: home to relaxed ducks! You heard it here first!
Bonne journée!

Homicide investigations are awaiting the conclusion of a post-mortem on the partially burnt body of an unidentified man before they take fingerprint samples in hope of identifying him.
A police report stated that around 8 am yesterday officers of the Fyzabad Police Station responded to a report of a body in a bushy area in Pepper Village. The officers went to an area near L&M Bar where they walked approximately 100 feet into bushes where T&TEC had run high tension wires. There, they found the body of a man of African descent in the early stages of decompositions.
The man wore a red t-shirt, a pair of black pants and had a kinky twist hairstyle.
Police were checking their missing person database as they tried to identify the man, but was unsuccessful up to late yesterday. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Fyzabad police at 677-7777, 555 or Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS.
Eight-year-old accidentally stabbed while playing with brother
An eight-year-old boy who was stabbed in the chest on Tuesday afternoon is recuperating at hospital.
A police report stated that officers of the Siparia Police Station were informed that the boy, who lives at Sennon Village, Siparia, was admitted to the Siparia District Health Facility with an object sticking out of his chest.
He was attended to by medical staff and transferred to the San Fernando General Hospital. Investigators went to the hospital where they met with a nurse who told them that the boy and his four-year-old brother were playing with a knife when he was accidentally stabbed.
He was immediately taken for emergency treatment by his relatives. Investigators said he remained in a stable condition at the hospital yesterday.

What happens when the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) asks actor Mehcad Brooks (USA Network's Necessary Roughness, HBO's True Blood) to send "Happy 40th anniversary" sentiments to Roe v. Wade?
This video happens.
For me, the creep-o-meter is off the charts. And I'm not alone, as outrage is building across the Internet. Interestingly enough, pushback isn't only coming from pro-life supporters; pro-choice supporters have also voiced their disapproval.
I found Brooks's sultry and seductive act utterly distasteful, especially in this context. Both the message and the execution failed to consider the serious choice women face upon discovering an unplanned pregnancy — oftentimes after being subjected to the sort of persuasion displayed in this ad.
I realize Brooks is playing a part as a hired actor (a part he played so well that I felt emotionally slimed). This result doesn't seem to align with CRR's vision from its Web site:
We envision a world where every woman is free to decide whether and when to have children; where every woman has access to the best reproductive healthcare available; where every woman can exercise her choices without coercion or discrimination. More simply put, we envision a world where every woman participates with full dignity as an equal member of society.
If CRR truly seeks "full dignity" for women, this message becomes even more bizarre, likely a creative — and damaging — misstep. Humor is tricky for an issue as sensitive as this. The humor was lost on me, as dignity toward women was the last thing I felt as Brooks delivered his anniversary wishes. Until CRR explains its intent, we are left to wonder and try to forget this very public anniversary fail.

The Georgia Cancer Center has been awarded a five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute to lead the state's only cancer research program focused on better access to clinical trials and cancer treatments for minority and underserved patients.
By partnering with other institutions around the state, we aim to increase awareness of, and participation in, NCI-sponsored clinical trials and cancer care delivery research throughout Georgia, particularly among minority and underserved populations.
As the only site of its kind in Georgia, and one of just 12 selected nationally, the Georgia Cancer Center–led consortium will contribute to the design, conduct, and translation of the national NCORP research agenda, particularly studies pertaining to minority and underserved populations. Key stakeholders and community partners will help to set priorities for community-based cancer research and work collectively to address the historic barriers that have stood in the way of minority and underserved patients participating in clinical trials and other important cancer research

It's been a great year for film up to this point. Some instant classics have already come out like 12 Years a Slave and Gravity. But the year is not over yet! This December has a bunch of movies that look incredibly promising, and I'm super stoked to see them all. So get ready to hit up the dollar store a lot because you're going to be sneaking a lot of candy in to check out all of these films.
The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug – 12/13
A lot of neckbeards out there are complaining that these Hobbit movies aren't following the books close enough. Well guess what? Fucking deal with it. The whole "the movie didn't follow the book" argument is such bullshit. Just accept it as an interpretation and move the fuck on. No one cares that you can point out all of the subtle differences between the two. What I do care about is seeing an awesome movie. And Peter Jackson has not let me down so far. So crawl back to your mom's basement where you came from, eat your hot pockets, and stop whining.
American Hustle – 12/18
Last year, David O. Russell gave us Silver Linings Playbook, which was absolutely fantastic. This year, it looks like he's making another winner. And really how can you not with this cast? The thing I'm most excited for with this film, though, is definitely the 70's getup. Bradley Cooper with a perm is pretty hilarious. And Jennifer Lawrence looks like a babe in all of the pictures that have been released so far.
Her – 12/18
This movie may be the one I'm most intrigued to see. I'm not sure if it's going to be terrible or amazing. Which I kind of like going into a film. The premise involves Joaquin Phoenix's character falling in love with some new futuristic home operating system. I think it's incredibly relevant to a time now when people are so willing to communicate and develop an attachment to others online that they've met or seen before. Also, on a lighter note, check out that stache Joaquin is rocking. He's gone full hipster for this movie.
47 Ronin – 12/25
There's not really a whole lot say about this one. It's Keanu Reeves in a samurai movie. So it's pretty much going to be awesome. I mean, what more do you need to know?
The Secret Life of Walter Mity – 12/25
Doing his best to out-hipster Joaquin Phoenix is Ben Stiller in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. If you've seen the trailer, then you probably noticed the indie folk music of Of Monsters and Men playing in the background. That being said, I'm totally excited for this movie. Maybe it ends up being terrible. But even if the story is lacking, the cinematography looks like it will be great.
The Wolf of Wall Street – 12/25
Out of the three movies on this list opening on Christmas Day, this is the one that is actually going to get me out of the house to the theater. Let's see, Martin Scorsese directing and Leonardo DiCaprio starring as a greedy, 80's business man. Yeah, I think this one has potential. If Leo doesn't finally get his Best Actor nod, I will be greatly disappointed. I know I haven't seen the film yet, but I'm fully expecting an amazing performance out of him.
So there you have it. Maybe you have a break in between some Christmas shopping, or perhaps you have no plans and it's just too cold to go outside and do anything. Whatever it is, there are some great excuses to get to the movie theater this month.

Mostly we're very busy with all the things that have to be done to get this project off the ground. It's great fun, and preparation is really important. Patience has never been an easy lesson for me to learn though, and sometimes the desire to be there already is pretty overwhelming. I know that we'll learn invaluable lessons from all the work we're doing now. And that life is about the journey not the destination. Heck life is the journey. And that's every moment, not just the jumping into Yggdrasil and being on the road bit.
Still. The waiting seems hard sometimes. But I guess that's all just part of the journey too.

There's a magnet buried, deep inside my gut
I know it's there,
I can feel it's cousin tugging
Nagging, pulling my face
to the cold, rain streaked pane of the window.
My eyes like ears
Straining for something, something…
Something just outside, the ability to see
Restless I, seek to prowl
Yearn to put my feet to the road
Let the pull take me
Follow the tug, as the world revolves
Landscapes, tastes, smells, sounds,
Faces, voices, smiles and scowls
Coalesce with the covering sheath of hair
upon my skin, sink in
Iron filings of life, filling in the dots
Between the two magnets
The one within and the other, cousin
Somewhere between wind and air
The space from sea to beach
Between breath and speech
Wakefulness and sleep
They join
Follow the tug
Follow the tug
