HARRISBURG – February 1, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced that her office, along with 45 other Attorneys General and the District of Columbia, have reached a $120 million multi-state settlement with Lender Processing Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, LPS Default Solutions and DocX. The proposed settlement resolves allegations that the Jacksonville-based company, which primarily provides technological support to banks and mortgage loan servicers, ?robo-signed? documents and engaged in other improper practices related to mortgage loan default servicing. When it?s approved by the court, the settlement will require LPS and its subsidiaries to reform their business practices and, if necessary, to correct documents they executed to assist the homeowner. Pennsylvania?s share of the settlement is approximately $3.4 million. The lawsuit and the proposed settlement are being filed today in the Commonwealth Court and will require Court approval.
"I?m very pleased to join with other Attorneys General in this settlement," said Kane. "We will use this money to protect consumers and prevent them from being ripped off."
"The settlement holds these companies accountable for the alleged wrongdoings and puts in place reforms of business practices, to ensure proper handling of mortgage-related documents in the future," said Kane.
The proposed settlement, to be filed separately in each participating state, will also require proper execution of documents and prohibit signatures by unauthorized persons or those without first-hand knowledge of facts attested to in the documents, enhanced oversight of the default services provided, and a review of all third-party fees to ensure that the fees have been earned and are reasonable and accurate. The settlement also accomplishes the following:
? Prohibits LPS (including DocX) from engaging in the practice of surrogate signing of documents;
? Ensures that LPS has proper authority to sign documents on behalf of a servicer, if in fact it is signing documents;
? Requires LPS to accurately identify the authority that the signer has to execute the document and where that signer works;
? Prohibits LPS from notarizing documents outside the presence of a notary and ensures that notarizations will comply with applicable laws;
? Prohibits LPS from improperly interfering with the attorney-client relationship between attorneys and services;
? Prohibits LPS from incentivizing or promoting attorney speed or volume to the detriment of accuracy;
? Requires LPS to ensure that foreclosure and bankruptcy counsel or trustees can communicate directly with the servicer;
? Requires LPS to have enhanced oversight and review of processes over third parties it manages, including those entities that perform property preservation services;
? Prohibits LPS from imposing unreasonable mark-ups or other fees on third party providers? default or foreclosure-related services;
? Requires LPS to establish and maintain a toll-free phone number for consumers concerning document execution and property preservation services (including winterization, inspection, preservation, and maintenance); and
? Requires LPS to modify mortgage documents that require remediation when LPS has legal authority to do so and when reasonably necessary to assist a consumer or when required by state or local laws.
In the proposed settlement, LPS stipulates to important facts uncovered in the investigation, including the practice by DocX of so-called '"surrogate signing," the signing of documents by an unauthorized person in the name of another and notarizing those documents as if they had been signed by the proper person, as well as other improprieties in the document execution and recordation or filing process.
Upon court approval of the settlement, LPS will undertake a review of documents executed during the period of January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010 to determine what documents, if any, need to be re-executed or corrected. LPS will make periodic reports to the Attorneys General of the status of its review and/or modification of documents. LPS will make a toll-free number available to consumers, who may call and request review and correction of any documents executed by LPS.
Pennsylvania served on the team of investigating states? Attorneys General, and is joined in today?s settlement by: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia.

Free dental day in East Cobb | Community Spirit
MARIETTA, Ga. -- An East Cobb dentist will open his doors to the community for a day of free dental care this weekend.
Marietta Family Dental Care will offer the free services from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10.
Eighteen dentists and more than 70 hygienists and other dental professionals will be on hand to help Dr. Michael Mansouri see as many patients as possible. Attendees will be treated on a first-come, first-served basis, and can choose to have a cleaning, filling or extraction.
This is the second time Mansouri will host a free dental care day. Hundreds of people attended last year's event.
"In the past, lines began forming as early as 8 a.m. the day before," dental hygienist Mehrdad Mansouri said in a statement. "Due to the shortage of such volunteer events and the growing number of Americans who lack dental insurance, we're anticipating hundreds prepared to camp overnight for ordinarily costly, yet necessary dental treatment."
Marietta Family Dental Care is located at 4720 Lower Roswell Road.

for building a democratic labour movement in India
We are grieved to learn of the death of Sulabha Brahme, economist and social activist.
Sulabha Brahme (1932-2016)
The following press note by her friends and associates provides some details of her life. One point deserves particular stress, from our perspective. As the press note mentions, she authored 50 booklets on various economic and social issues. These were excellent for several reasons. First, she took uncompromising stands against the establishment, and stood with the people. Secondly, she insisted on writing and publishing in Marathi, thus meeting a crying need for such literature in the language. Thirdly, she thoroughly researched the topics and prepared material of high quality, equipping activists and lay persons amply with the information they needed. Finally, she addressed burning questions of the day without delay.

Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
Abraham Lincoln
What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures,"
Samuel Gompers
Social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life.
Bhagat Singh
In the new global politico-economic regime with new international division of labour, informalization of labour, free mobility of capital, alarming expansion of reserve army of labour and creation of global reserve army of labour for capital, and a system of regulating at international level and deregulating at national level, the pre-globalization strategies of organizing and collective bargaining have largely become ineffective and irrelevant. Therefore the labour movements and the social, political movements in general need to develop and implement new strategies of organizing and collective bargaining effective in new global politico-economic regime.
Divide, isolate and rule is the most important aspect of the capitalism to control the labour by not letting the working class emerge as a unified force. Dividing the working class in different sectional interests, and intensifying social conflicts (caste, gender, religion, regionality and nationality conflicts etc) are important strategies of capitalism. On the other hand, by its various institutions and propaganda machinery, the capitalism blurs the link between various sectional problems and their linkage with the capitalist system and therefore the movements appear detached from each other and focused on their sectional issues rather than challenging the capitalist system that produces and reproduces these problems.
The fate of social, political movements in India depends on their attitude towards learning and building unity in diversity at various levels to defeat the capital's attempts to divide, isolate and rule. The revival of the working class movement also depends on this factor.

Project info
A Brief Introduction
Nathive is a libre software image editor, similar to Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint or GIMP, but focused on usability, logic and providing a smooth learning curve for everyone. The project runs in the GNOME desktop environment and anyone is welcome to collaborate on it with code, translations or ideas.
This project is in beta phase, so it is an incomplete work, unfit for the end user yet. Until now the development was focused in laying down the application core and create easy dev tools, so for now we will focus on create new plugins, because there are obvious lacks yet.
The intention is to achieve a professional image editor progressively without giving up initial usability. Nathive is written from scratch in Python using GTK+, and is designed to be simple, lightweight, and easy to install and use.
Nathive Philosophy
- Show respect and gratitude to GIMP community.
- First make it easy, then make it powerfull.
- The user don't need to see every options all time.
- If it seems absolutely absurd, might work.
- Everything should be obvious.
Who Is Behind?
My name is Marcos Diaz, I was born in 1985 in Spain, I'm a libre knowledge hacktivist, autodidact... but I simply started the project, there are more people contributing, community grows and the project continues to make progress towards our goals.
Want to be part of the community? There are many ways to contribute: as Python developer, translator, documentation writer, artist, web programmer, or simply telling us your ideas. Nathive is a colaborative project so, we are waiting to you.
The logo is a leaf, a leaf from a native tree from freedom land (OMG...), also is a 'N' if you turn your head and uses imagination, and an eye watching what are we doing to improve this world, why not?. The concept is based on this original arkwork of Ana del Cerro, a really great spanish designer, thanks Ana!
The site is running an experimental web toolkit called Nariko and powered by Python, we are testing a new paradigm based on MVC, and hope to be published if it's sucessful. The site also uses HTML5 and CSS3, and it's validated by the W3C, so if you see ugly offsets, no background colors, or something too different from this screenshot, you surely are using an outdated browser.

Compare cheap flights to Madrid
When is the cheapest time to fly to Madrid?
What to see in Madrid
Madrid is the capital city of Spain. It has a great appetite for art, music, and food. It also managed to preserve its traditions as it developed into a modern, cosmopolitan urban centre. With Baroque landmarks, museums, fashion, food, nightlife and more, your "amor" for the city will be instant.
Take the bus to Madrid's Triangle of Art and see the works of masters like Picasso, El Greco, Goya, and Velasquez. See 1,600 paintings in Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the masterpieces of Spain's Golden Age in Prado Museum, and Picasso's famous Guernica in Queen Sofia Museum.
Get to know more about Madrid's history and spend a day touring Avila, Segovia, and the literary neighbourhood of Barrio de las Letras. Up your Instagram game and ride the subway to the city's most beautiful sites like Plaza Mayor, Palacio Real, and Catedral de la Almudena.
If you want a touch of nature in your photos or a break from the city, enjoy the day in El Retiro Park and Royal Botanica Garden. Feel a bit of magic in Parque del Capricho's swan lake (with ducks), fountains, labyrinths, and palaces. Or feel like the Queen of Hearts among the roses of Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste.
Go and visit the animals in Madrid and ride the Teleferico cable car from Arguelles to Casa de Campo. See wildlife from all parts of the earth in Zoo Aquarium Madrid and Faunia too.
When in Madrid, you should catch a flamenco show. There's the famous Corral de la Moreria, or you can pick other spots in the city like Las Tablas, Cafe De Chinitas, and the amazing Tablao Flamenco Cardamomo.
The city is also known for its football, so enjoying a pint in Santiago Bernabeu is a must for football and Real Madrid fanatics. Another popular sport in Madrid is bullfighting, that's why you can't miss the battle of man versus beast at the Las Ventas Bullring in May.

Willie Delgado set for return to roots in Maryland
Kentucky Derby winner coming to Pimlico
The 139th running of the $1.5 million Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 17 will provide a joyous homecoming for Willie Delgado, the exercise rider of Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome.
Delgado was trying to grind out a living in Maryland last August while training a small string and exercising horses for another stable when he decided that he needed a vacation.
The 46-year-old former jockey ventured to southern California to visit his brother, Alberto, a longtime Maryland jockey who was riding at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. At the encouragement of his brother, who has ridden more than 2,900 winners, Delgado returned to Maryland to wrap up his business and returned to southern California in September.
"I had a bunch of bad horses. I was galloping for Dove Houghton and training my own. It just never peaked for me with training," Delgado said Monday morning at Churchill Downs. "I just went back to what I do best, which is galloping horses."
A couple months after his move to the southern California circuit, Delgado went to work as an exercise rider for trainer Art Sherman at Hollywood Park upon the recommendation of his brother. He subsequently got the morning call aboard a California-bred 2-year-old whom his brother had ridden to victory in a maiden race at Hollywood Park last May and the Graduation Stakes at Del Mar in late July.
"I said, 'Wow! It's true what my brother says,'" said Delgado, recalling the first time he galloped California Chrome. "My brother said he could run."
About five months later, California Chrome showed the whole world just how much he could run when he captured last Saturday's Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs for Sherman, breeders/owners Steve Coburn and Perry Martin and jockey Victor Espinoza.
Delgado and Sherman's son and assistant trainer Alan watched the Derby trackside, cheering on California Chrome and ending up several paths from the outside rail by the time the flashy chestnut colt crossed the finish line 1 3/4 lengths ahead of runner-up Commanding Curve.
"I have friends ask me, 'How does it feel?' I say, 'I'll tell you what, when my daughter was born, it's right there with that,'" Delgado said. "I'd say it's a dead heat. It was the most exciting feeling I've had when I saw my daughter born. This was just about the same."
Delgado is looking forward to reuniting with his 6-year-old daughter, Savannah, who lives with her mother in Maryland, and celebrating the Derby victory when he arrives at Pimlico Race Course with California Chrome.
"As soon as the horse crossed the wire, the first text I got was from her. It said, 'Daddy, I can't believe you won the Kentucky Derby. I'm so proud of you.' That's when I started crying,'" said Delgado, whose father, Alberto Ramos, was a prominent rider on the New England circuit before his retirement in 1995 and whose younger brother, Gilberto Delgado, is currently riding in the Mid-Atlantic region.
California Chrome will be returning to his roots, as well. The son of California stallion Lucky Pulpit is out of the Maryland-bred mare, Love the Chase. He will arrive in Maryland no worse from the wear of overwhelming 18 rivals over 1 1/4 miles Saturday at Churchill.
"When I pulled him out of his stall this morning, he never walked like that. He was dragging me around," said Delgado of California Chrome's Monday morning exercise. "He was shaking his head like he hadn't run yet."
California Chrome has thrived during his five-race winning streak, his exercise rider said.
"It's his power, his demeanor, his power, the way he does things," Delgado said. "With every race, he's gotten stronger and stronger."
California Chrome is scheduled to return to the Churchill Downs track for a jog on Wednesday, reported Alan Sherman, whose father returned to Southern California Monday and will reunite with his Derby winner in Baltimore next week. Travel plans have not been finalized for California Chrome. He could arrive next Monday, May 12 or Wednesday, May 14.

To make the buffalo skin, follow the directions in the pictures below.
My favorite part was watching the kids draw pictures on their tepee's with markers. I always love seeing my boys' creativity come to life.
Here is Andy's drawing. It is a fish jumping out of water at nighttime on a rainy night. I love the little dots of rain and how he made his moon black.
Luke drew a big cobra snake slithering through the grass on a sunny day with birds flying in the sky.
After making the drawings, it's time to assemble the tepee. Place a long line of glue on one end of the tortilla and fold it back into the cone shape with the glue securing it shut.
I laid ours down on the counter to dry with the seam at the bottom so it wouldn't open while drying.
After about 20 minutes they were dry enough that we could place the popsicle stick poles through the hole at the top and stand them up to finish drying. We let them dry overnight and by morning the tortillas had hardened and taken shape nicely.
I may have had a little too much fun playing with my boys' plastic Cowboys and Indians while photographing our tepee's. My kids could hardly stand the wait for taking pictures so they could dig in and play along!

During his hour-long keynote address Monday at South by Southwest Interactive, Rather opined at length on the state of his profession, in which too many journalists have become lapdogs to power, rather than watchdogs.
"I do not exclude myself from this criticism... By and large, so many journalists--there are notable exceptions--have adopted the go-along-to-get-along (attitude)," he said.
So, because of this "access game," journalism has degenerated into a "very perilous state," he said in response to a question from his on-stage interviewer, FireDogLake.com writer Jane Hamsher. (Editors' note: News.com on Tuesday published its full one-on-one interview with Dan Rather.)
Rather left CBS last year in the wake of a scandal surrounding questionable documentation for a story accusing President George Bush of being absent without leave during his military service. Today, Rather works as a journalist for entrepreneur Mark Cuban's HDNet network.
In his speech, he touched on the state of the Internet as a way to get information and news to people.
"The Internet is a tremendous tool for not just news, (because) its potential is unlimited for that," Rather said, but for "illumination and opening things up."But he spent most of his time on stage talking about why he thinks many people have lost faith in journalists.
One reason, Rather said, is that questioning power, especially at a time of war, can be perceived as unpatriotic or unsupportive of America's fighting troops.
That's "a very serious charge in this country," Rather said.
"We've brought it on ourselves," he added, "partly because we've lost the sense that (the) patriotic journalist will be on his or her feet asking the tough questions. My role as a member of the press is to be sometimes a check and balance on power."
Indeed, Rather's ascent to the pinnacles of power in journalism came as a result of his reputation for asking very tough questions and--as Hampshire pointed out--not being afraid to ask follow-up questions, of powerful people like President Richard Nixon, the first President George Bush, current President Bush, Saddam Hussein, and many others.
"In many ways," said Rather to loud applause, "what we in journalism need is a spine transplant."
Rather reiterated his feeling that many journalists today--and he repeated that he has fallen for this trap--are willing to get too cozy with people in positions of power, be it in government or corporate life.
"The nexus between powerful journalists and people in government and corporate power," he said, "has become far too close."
You can get so close to a source that you become part of the problem, he added. "Some people say that these powerful people use journalists, and they do. And they will use them to the fullest extent possible, right up until the point where the journalist says, 'Whoa, that's too far.'"
Wanted: The best of SXSW
It is incumbent on journalists to be willing to risk their access to power to seek out the truth behind a story, he said. And they shouldn't be willing to water down the truth to protect their access to power.
Rather also said that the consolidation of power in a small number of media companies has hurt the search for the truth in newsrooms across the country. As media conglomerates get bigger, the gap between newsrooms and boardrooms grows, and the goal becomes satisfying shareholders, not citizens, he said.
Therefore, Rather supports increased competition between media companies and between journalists. "So next time someone says, 'I believe in the capitalist system,'" he said, "tell them Dan Rather says 'Amen.'"
Rather reiterated the journalist's role as a watchdog.
"Not as an attack dog...But what does the lapdog do? He just crawls into someone's lap," he said. "A good watchdog barks at everything that's suspicious. I submit to you, the American press' role is to be a watchdog."
Hampshire then asked Rather about the state of the Internet and how useful it can be in helping to inform people.
Rather responded that he sees a lot of potential in the Internet, and in the blogosphere in particular, but that he worries about anonymity on a lot of Web sites and blogs.
He said it's very easy to attack someone when you don't have to put your name to your complaints. He's not sure how to strike the right balance between professional and citizen journalism, but he believes the market will eventually provide that solution.
In the end, Rather said, the American people must understand that the news does matter, and that what they see happening on TV or read about on the Internet, is real. War, he said, is real.
"What happens on the streets of Baghdad or Kabul does matter on Main Street."

The well-fitted jacket, the slim and crisp shirt, polished leather shoes—you've got the sartorial standards down pat. Now you're ready to graduate to advanced techniques. Enter: the pocket square. A longtime accessory of the seriously stylish, a quality pocket square adds just the right amount of panache to casual and formal ensembles alike.
I wouldn't consider myself a pocket square guy in most situations, but this one has opened my eyes a bit to their usefulness to add a bit of style to a jacket or suit. I especially like the solid one I received because it's a great complement to a large range of outfits. Maybe I am a pocket square guy after all.5
i always say i never have enough pocket squares and the choices are daunting. this was a great addition to my wardrobe – simple, unassuming yet it brought an air of elegance to my sport coat. the fabric held it's shape and didn't need any fussing about once i placed it in the pocket. great spring colors that go with anything.5

The AB/BE
Two degrees? A fifth year? It's different, we know. Here's why:
When General Sylvanus Thayer founded the School in 1867, he believed that learning engineering in the context of the liberal arts is the best way for technology leaders to prepare for the world. And we agree.
Engineers with blinders on can do more harm than good. Dartmouth gives you time to branch out, look around, and experiment with different subjects.
With your Bachelor of Arts (AB) degree, you'll have the analytical, creative, and communications skills you'll need to succeed and lead in engineering—or any other field. You'll take a full range of Dartmouth liberal arts courses, from the arts and humanities to the social and physical sciences. In fact, half your classes will be in non-engineering subjects, so you can deepen your understanding of the world—and prepare to make a difference in it.
Then, after you've taken advantage of the full liberal arts curriculum, you can stay on and knock out that professional accredited Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in less than a year. The BE requires at least 9 engineering courses beyond the AB. Some students complete both the AB and BE in four years. Others take a fifth year. Either way, need-based financial aid is available.

Apr 26th - Waste 360
Hiring and retaining quality employees and identifying the right market opportunities for the business are always top of mind for Grootonk.
When Myers Power Products Inc. acquired Labrie Enviroquip Group in January 2012, Diana Grootonk had not planned on taking on the role of chief executive officer (CEO) for Labrie, which manufactures waste collection vehicles for the North American market. But through a series of unplanned events, she ended up embracing that role.
"Ultimately, I stepped into the role on an interim basis but fell in love in the process," explains Grootonk. "So, here I am, still very much enjoying the challenge of growing the business. I am fortunate to be surrounded by a team of exemplary managers, directors, employees and customers who make running this business as much fun as it is challenging."
Grootonk began working for Myers Power Products in 1994 and previously served as the company's chief operating officer before taking on the role of president and CEO. Labrie was originally purchased by one of Myers' holding groups, for which Grootonk also serves as CEO and president.
Myers acquired Labrie in 2012 when Grootonk and her partners, who specialize in turnaround and bankruptcy deals, were indirectly led to the manufacturing of rolling stock, starting with intermodal chassis. They then went on to contract the manufacturing of refuse collection vehicles for a small U.S. producer, which ultimately led to the Labrie deal.
Thinkstockretailers bottom line
"I have previously worked in the manufacturing of children's toys, traffic signals and low-voltage distribution equipment and currently in medium-voltage switchgear and garbage trucks," she points out. "Regardless of the country or the product, these challenges (while morphing from year to year) always remain at the top of the 'challenges list.'"
"On a more personal note, I think every CEO is challenged with finding the right balance for him or herself in the industry in which they participate—what works in one industry or geography may not work in another—and finding that balance may not always be easy or obvious," adds Grootonk.
Labrie Enviroquip has had a presence in the refuse market for more than 100 years now and offers three platforms: the Labrie platform, which is the traditional mixed city known for recycling and automated equipment. The front loader, which was originally a Western Canadian and West Coast front loader that has now evolved into a national product. And the Leach Rear Loader, which has been around for more than a century.
Labrie SaintNicolas Quebec CanadaLabrie Enviroquip is excited about the new opportunities in the market especially in the organics collection and lightweight front loader markets Commercial and curbside organics collection is a growing trend for all sizes of cities and municipalities Through our network of more than 40 dealers we continue to address the changing patterns of waste and recycling collection Our innovative CNG fuel packages provide as much as 100 diesel gallon equivalents DGE int
As one of the largest and most recognizable manufacturers of refuse and recycling collection vehicles in North America, the company employs 850-plus employees and maintains manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico with parts and service locations in Osh Kosh, Wis.; Lafayette, Ga.; and Quebec, Canada.
In the seven years that Grootonk has been in waste and recycling, she has seen the industry evolve in every way imaginable—from the expansion of automated collection, to the movement to renewable natural gas, electric vehicles and weighing systems, to the data collection that helps haulers and municipalities maximize their fleet operations.
Labrie's Automizer Helping Hand with automated armLabrieAutomizerHelpingHand-automated-arm.jpg
"It's a very exciting time for the industry," says Grootonk. "Everyone is looking for greater safety, longer vehicle life, maximized TCO [total cost of ownership] and more automation. From driver/collector safety to granular data collection, we will continue to see more and more technology infused into every aspect of collection, including vehicles. Electric chassis is around the corner, and this will move the refuse collection vehicle industry in a different direction. As we continue to see improvements in battery technology, this will become more of a reality than ever in the near future."
When it comes down to it, the ever-evolving industry keeps Grootonk on her toes and motivated every day. "I have the unique opportunity to learn something new every single day in a most amazing industry," she says.

December 6, 2016. ALLENTOWN, Pa. – by James Menzies
Refuse trucks are built to operate in all conditions, so who can complain when a little rain dampens a test drive? Or when sheets of unrelenting, driving, torrential, cold, November rain, for that matter, soak through everyone who dared step outside?
The trash still has to be collected, so there were no complaints from me when I visited Mack Trucks' Customer Center to drive the company's newest refuse truck, the LR model. In fact, the pouring rain helped me gain an appreciation for some of the subtler design enhancements built into the LR model that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. For example, a new drip rail above the door that keeps the rain from cascading into the cockpit every time the door is opened, which could be more than 1,000 times a day.

State Senator Tom Berryhill, a Republican from Modesto, last week was removed as chairman of the California Senate's food and agriculture committee.
His sin? Telling the Sacramento Bee that, now that Democrats can pass a budget with a majority vote instead of a 2/3 vote (a change approved by voters in November as Prop 25), balancing the budget is no longer a concern of Republicans.
The budget, Berryhill said, "is really not our problem. ... The Democrats own this."
U.S. & World
The man who removed Berryhill, the Senate's leader and top Democrat Darrell Steinberg, explained that balancing the budget was a duty of every senator. In other words, the whole senate owns the budget.
Both Steinberg and Berryhill were wrong.
No one owns the budget, in any political or fiscal sense.
The budget is an orphan.
How's that?
Put simply, no party is accountable for the budget. Yes, the Democrats can pass a budget on a majority vote now. But Democrats can't decide all that much about spending, since voter-approved formulas and other constitutional restrictions govern so much spending. Two-thirds vote requirements also govern education spending, which is roughly half the budget. And when it comes to the taxes to pay for spending, Republicans still have leverage under the 2/3 requirements for tax increases and fee increases to block the revenues paid for spending. So Democrats can't balance the budget without Republicans. The result: both parties behave more responsibly than they would if one party or the other could craft a budget itself. And when the parties compromise, they invariably do so through borrowing and other gimmicks to cover up the fact that Democrats want higher spending and Republicans want lower taxes.
Balancing the budget thus is not about cutting equal amounts of spending and raising equal amounts of taxes, as Gov. Brown has suggested. It's not really about specific levels of taxation or spending at all. Fixing the budget requires the big, hard work of fixing this system of voter-approved mandates and two-thirds requirements. And making it possible for the majority party to own the budget -- and then redesigning the election system so voters can kick that party out of office if they don't like the budgets they see.

Perhaps the single most memorable day of my life was May 10, 1994.
Thanks to the kindness of a liberal white South African diplomat, I had a ringside seat at the presidential inauguration of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, sitting only about 50 metres away from the dais where he spoke in front of the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
As more than 100,000 of his joyous countrymen stood in intense heat listening a few kilometres from the massive granite Vortrekker Monument — which still celebrates the Boers' emigration from the Cape into the interior, fighting bloody battles with Zulus and other tribes along the way before subjugating them – the man who against every expectation brought a peaceful end to the disgrace of apartheid declared "Never, never again will this beautiful land experience the oppression of one by another."
I first saw the Father of the Nation, as Mandela came to be regarded long before winning election as South Africa's first black president, a few weeks earlier at a rally in a town in the Transvaal. Like almost all of his rallies during his only campaign for public office, this one near the northern border with Zimbabwe, and another that I attended in KwaZulu-Natal, had to be held in huge fields far from city centres in order to accommodate the enormous number of people who wanted to be touched by his innate grace.
Although already well into his 70s, and having endured 27 years in prison, Mandela cut a jaunty, fantastically charismatic figure. Elegantly but simply dressed, he walked with the boyish vigour and limber gait of Barack Obama, another precedent-setter, often breaking into the kind of exuberant dance often seen in even the most wretched parts of townships such as Soweto, where generations of blacks were forced by South Africa's notorious pass laws to live their entire lives.
But frankly, no dances or words were necessary. All Mandela had to do was flash his million-dollar smile and the crowd was in his thrall.
Mandela will be remembered most for ending apartheid and for that rarest of human qualities: the incredible ability to forgive those who have wronged them and their people.
What is sometimes forgotten now is that the Nobel laureate, who was once branded a terrorist and at one time believed in armed struggle, not only helped to heal the huge rift that existed between black and white South Africans. The great conciliator and leader of the African National Congress was also able to bring together the disparate warring tribes of South Africa, including the Zulus and their mercurial leader, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and his secessionist-minded, sometimes violent Inkatha Freedom Party.
A Xhosa born of royal blood, Mandela possessed by all accounts a regal public bearing from his youth through the 20 years he spent in jail on Robben Island, which since the end of apartheid has become a shrine of sorts to his memory and a must-see tourist attraction in the shark-infested waters off Cape Town.
But Mandela not only projected a unique image whenever he appeared in public. Regarded far more as a gifted writer with an extraordinary stage presence than as a speaker, he was renowned for expressing complex thoughts in a simple way.
The Mandela philosophy was distilled in the words: "If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner"; and, even more famously, "When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw."
The challenge Mandela faced throughout decades of political struggle and repeated legal entanglements was explained in these two passages: "After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb"; and "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
As Mandela often said himself, he was fundamentally an optimist who tried to see the best in everyone including those who oppressed him.
To be sure, there were many personal disappointments and setbacks along the way, such as the charges that his second wife, Winnie, ran an armed gang of criminals known as the Mandela United football Club.
But it was as if Mandela regarded every knock as a boost, getting up again every time he was knocked down from the time he fled his family to escape an arranged marriage. Even after being refused permission to attend his son's funeral, he maintained cordial relations with his jailers and was willing to hold secret talks with South Africa's white rulers at a time when other black leaders rejected negotiations of any kind.
Speaking in Afrikaans, Africa's Abraham Lincoln once said, "Wat is verby is verby." What is past is past.
That is the heroic code that Mandela learned to live his life by. One of the greats of history, his message is universal and should never be forgotten.
Although Mandela was enfeebled in the last years of his "Long Walk to Freedom," the snapshot that I have of him in my mind captures the youthful exuberance, dignity and sense of undeniable purpose that he exhibited during that magical time in the spring of 1994 when South Africans joined the community of nations.

text: Dispensary: Measurement and Try-on Adapting to Change by Adopting New Technology By Jay Binkowitz and Evan Kestenbaum, MBA, dba Contributors Monday, September 9, 2013 12:16 AM Change is all around us, and those businesses that can adapt will succeed. Those who flounder will fail. Adopting new technology in our office can be a challenge, but in the current environment, this has become crucial to success or failure. Twenty years ago, we had to implement new technology very infrequently. It was a long time between the fax machine and online ordering. Today, that's all changed with so much new eyecare technology coming out every year. Some examples include: optical measuring devices electronic patient communication systems online contact lens ordering from your website online eyewear ordering from your website Optical Measuring Devices Focusing on just one of these, it becomes clear that in order to succeed in an increasingly competitive market, local and regional optical groups must learn how to implement these new eyewear technologies across multiple locations not just to survive but also to thrive. For example, with the introduction of the AccuFit Digital Measurement System, LensCrafters is teaching patients that if you don't use an electronic measuring device then you aren't as accurate as they are. The LensCrafters' website says that AccuFit is "five times more precise than manual measurements." In other words, if your doctor's office doesn't have AccuFit then it can't possibly make the glasses as well. However, there are many other optical measuring devices available, including: i.Terminal 2 by Zeiss ABS Smart Pad Lenscrafters' AccuFit Hoya's Spectangle Essilor's Visioffice i.Terminal 2 by Zeiss Hoya's Spectangle OptikamPad app ABS Smart Pad Shamir Spark Signet Armorlite's Kodak IDS VSP Optics otto A Framework for Training Whichever device you choose, training and implementation are equally important…if not more. Unfortunately, many times these new pieces of equipment come into our locations and end up sitting in the corner collecting dust. To avoid that, follow this framework for training: 1. Choose a train-the-trainer. Each location should have one person responsible for learning the system and becoming the trainer. This could be your optical manager or simply one lead team member. 2. Take advantage of on-site training programs. Many of the companies provide onsite training options. They'll come into your office, demonstrate the machine, and let you practice while someone is there to take you through it step by step. It's best to schedule an initial session and then have the trainer come back about a week later to follow up. 3. Practice on each other. The best way to learn is to practice in a non-stress environment. The "trainer" you've chosen for your office should meet with your optical team members and let them practice measuring each other. They should measure at least 10 staff members before taking on their first patient. 4. Set clear attainable expectations. Do you want your team to measure every patient's PD electronically, only progressive patients, or only private pay patients? Choose what works best for your office, and then hold everyone accountable. Set up a tracking form to measure the results each week. If you think utilizing the machine means "use it on every patient" and your team thinks it means "using it most of the time" then you have unclear goals, and they may not know that they're not living up to expectations. 5. Hold people accountable. Many multi-location practices have an HR review system for bonuses and raises. (If you don't have one, check out vhr-advisor.com). Add the new technology and expectations as part of your quarterly review process. Be up front that you expect everyone to learn and utilize the new equipment. Follow this framework for training and stick to it every time you adopt new technology across multiple locations, and you'll not only adapt to the changes happening around you but you will also start implementing your own changes as well.

Candied Coconut Sweet Potatoes
- Category: Side Dishes, Holiday
- Print Recipe
- 4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (4 medium sweet potatoes or about 2 large cans)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter (no margarine), softened or melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
If using fresh sweet potatoes, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick each sweet potato with a fork and place on foil in the oven. Cook for 40–60 minutes or until tender. Once they've cooled enough to handle, slice in half and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
To the mixing bowl add in sugar, butter, eggs, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Your butter should be soft enough to blend up easily, so microwave it before you add it to the bowl if you need to. You could mash it all up by hand, but an electric mixer works great. If you don't like it completely pureed, mix it just until everything is incorporated but there are still some sweet potatoes in larger chunks. Spread this mixture evenly into a 9-by-13-inch pan.
For the topping, combine brown sugar and coconut and then pour melted butter over and combine and sprinkle evenly over the sweet potatoes in the pan.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 40–50 minutes. It will be more or less depending on the size dish you use, and whether you double the topping. But the top should be nice and browned and bubbly, so just keep an eye on it.
Note: You can make these up to a day or two ahead of time. Just keep them well covered in the fridge and don't put the topping on until just before baking.

It's been an odd summer in my neck of the woods. The combination of an epic wildfire (which closed many of my favorite hiking spots) and unbearable heat has meant the dogs and I have been a bit lacking in our outdoor adventures.
Not last weekend.
We hit the road and headed for the hills. The destination: somewhere I've wanted to hike for years.
Luka eagerly led the way while Sadie waited for me to snap the picture.
The woods eventually opened up.
Luka enjoyed exploring.
He especially liked climbing on the huge rocks.
Sadie was fond of the cool stream water.
As for me….I enjoyed the scenery.
As we neared the summit Luka (finally) started to look tired.
And Sadie appeared to take in the view.
Finally we reached the summit.
The dogs rested
and I took in the view.
When we returned to the car the dogs immediately settled in for the ride home.
By the time I stopped for a snack
the sounds of snoring were coming from the back of the car.

After the unprecedented recall and defeat of Senate President Russell Pearce, political pundits have had a heyday analyzing the causes of his decisive upset. Immigration policy? Abrasive personality? Campaign blunders? These and many other factors contributed to the Pearce defeat.
But the overriding factor was that voters are fed up with strident, partisan politicians who ignore the will of the majority to advance extreme ideologies that appeal to their narrow political base. Pearce is exhibit A.
Arizonans understand that our problems are complex, and require thoughtful, collaborative responses — not inflammatory bumper sticker slogans. We have seen firsthand that extreme ideologies coupled with hyper partisanship obliterate true leadership and responsible governance.
If there is a lesson to be learned, it is that voters will hold elected officials accountable for failing to listen to the moderate majority of Arizonans. We want elected officials who will listen, lead and govern — not rule.
— Lucia Fakonas Howard is a Phoenix attorney.

Is this what a killer looks like? (Dennis Murphy, Dateline correspondent)
Could this meticulous, problem-solving, engineer actually have made a blunder that would never have tripped-up any self-respecting killer on "Law and Order" or "CSI"? Did he actually wrap his wife's body in one of their king-sized bed sheets, weighed her down with concrete blocks from the garden, and then dump the corpse in the bay off their waterfront home? And then toss the murder weapon a few feet off their home's backyard seawall?
Could anyone be so stupid? That rhetorical question would become a building block of Don Moringiello's defense. Would a certifiably smart man with assets in the millions kill his wife for no apparently good reason and then cover up his crime in such a clumsy fashion?
He said he didn't do it. There was a fight over dinner and she — Fern — stormed out, pulling her roller-bag behind her and declaring that she was going on a vacation from him.
Three days later, sheriff's divers recovered her body from the bay five doors down from the house.
Had he been framed? Had someone wanted his wife dead and made this gabby, amiable retiree the fall guy?
Tough questions for the jury to figure out. To listen to the testimony and look at the defendant. Puzzle through whether a killer could look like somebody at a Florida Early-Bird special.
"Five Doors Down," a report on the Moringiello murder case in Florida, airs Dateline Saturday, 8 p.m. on NBC. E-mail Dennis Murphy at email@example.com.

Dame Ellen's trip around the world, on a sailboat, in 71 days (Dennis Murphy, Dateline correspondent)
Greatest dead sailor. We, meanwhile, were putting a mike on the fleece jacket of England's greatest living sailor, Ellen MacArthur. 29-year-old Ellen— made Dame Ellen by the Queen since the last time we met— would, in a few hours, be radiant in a gown as an honored guest aboard a British naval vessel for the Lord Nelson festivities.
But at the moment she's perched on a director's chair above a pleasant marina recalling her truly incredible voyage. "When you start," she says, "you're trying to achieve staying alive and getting home. If you can do both of those, then you stand a chance of breaking the record."
Ellen's goal was to become the fastest solo circumnavigator of the earth, a 26,000 mile journey she had to complete in 72 days. Our story on "Dateline Sunday" is the account of that attempt. To watch it is, I think, to understand why she's one of the best known and most admired women in Europe, though Dame Ellen ("please, it's just Ellen") will have nothing to do with being counted among the great mariners of Rule Britannia, Sir Francis Drake, or Lord Nelson, the honoree of the hour in the straits beyond where we sit.
"I'm not the greatest sailor in the world," says Ellen. "I just grit my teeth and get on with it."
I don't know about that. And Lord Nelson, the old boy himself, might have tut-tutted her modesty.You be the judge when you watch Ellen take on the world.
The report on Ellen MacArthur's journey airs Dateline Sunday, 7 p.m.

Bed bugs are back (Dennis Murphy, Dateline correspondent)
We're in Rob Allen's editing room looking at a full-frame creature with bulging eyes, hairy legs and a menacing twisty snout. Clearly, this must be a running buddy of the radioactive giant ants from the 50's sci-fi classic "Them." But, of course, it's just our old friend Cimex Lectularius, as your local entomologist calls him. "Bed bugs" to the rest of us and your exterminator.
And he's back. Boy, is he.
Slideshow: Strangers in the night Bed bugs in America disappeared about the time of the rotary phone. The upside of DDT, and long-gone pesticides like it, was that it worked very well. The little blood suckers were dead as the Dodo here but they lived happily on in Asia, Africa, eastern Europe. Now they're hitching rides in luggage, shaving kits, coming soon to a hotel near you, perhaps. Or a college dormitory, or your very own bedroom.
More pictures. Mary Ann Rotondi, the producer of Sunday's report, shows me photos of a woman from Pennsylvania, her body so coverered with red blotchy welts it looks like crime-scene evidence.
She'd checked into a New York City hotel last December. As she slept, sometime, probably after three in the morning, the bed bugs crawled out of the headboard, maybe from under the seams of the mattress, and began feasting on her blood. She was bitten by bed bugs in dozens of places up and down her legs, her arms, her face. For the next few weeks, she told us, life was an agony of itching.
"I was just clawing away at my skin," she told us, "I could not stop."
Two months later Mary Ann and the crew went back to that same hotel and guess what? Well, I hope you'll see.
Here are some fun facts about bed bugs we learned in the course of our reporting:
- They can live for an entire year or more on one blood meal.
- Exterminators are reporting infestations in 45 of the 50 states.
- They are as likely to set-up housekeeping in a five-star hotel as a flea bag. Good hygiene doesn't count.
- Disgusting as they are to anyone but an entomologist, bed bugs don't appear to transmit disease.
So, the old adage is right: you really, REALLY, don't want to let the bed bugs bite unless you're the scientist we met who has a personal collection of 10,000 plus bed bugs. But dinner hour with him is another story.
You'll see.
Dateline's special report on 'Bed Bugs' airs Sunday, March 19, at 7 p.m. on NBC. Click here to learn more about these creatures.

The Trump Card
The Atomic Bomb and The End of World War II
Herbert Feis, who comes close to being our official national diplomatic historian, has revised Japan Subdued, his 1961 study of the decision to drop the atomic bomb. Feis has served as Special Consultant to three Secretaries of War; he has had privileged access to important sources, such as the private papers of Averell Harriman, and his books often contain vital information not available to most historians. Those familiar with recently declassified materials on the Hiroshima decision, however, will not find much new in The Atomic Bomb and the End of World War II. What they will find is a sober but uncertain book by a scholar who has tried to fit new material into old molds, while avoiding serious criticism of the eminent officials he has known.
As early as 1961, Feis concluded, as have most informed observers, that the bombing of Hiroshima was by no means essential. He repeats this conclusion in The Atomic Bomb:
There cannot be a well-grounded dissent from the conclusion reached as early as 1945 by members of the US Strategic Bombing Survey "…that certainly prior to 31 December 1945 and in all probability prior to 1 November 1945, Japan would have surrendered even if the atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated."
His conclusion is almost word for word the same as it was in 1961, but not quite. Then he felt there could "hardly be" dissent from the view that the bomb was unnecessary; his shift to the unequivocal "there cannot be" illustrates a slight change of opinion. For the most part, however, this book duplicates the old one, although three chapters contain significant additions dealing with the now well-known fact that, in the decision to use the bomb in 1945, the effect on Russia was an important consideration. Precisely "how important" is the remaining issue.
The common ground of both books is a description of the different courses of action open to the United States as Japanese power crumbled in June and July of 1945—as well as an account of how these courses were viewed, from day to day, by American leaders. There were many options. The first was a diplomatic one: Since intercepted Japanese cables showed that the Emperor was actively trying to open a negotiating channel through Moscow, it seemed that a minor face-saving change in the Unconditional Surrender formula could have ended the fighting. The second option was military, but did not involve invasion. The Navy and Air Force felt that a blockade alone, or a blockade combined with conventional bombardment, might have ended the war. The third possibility was to await the Russian Declaration of War, which was expected in early August. With Japan tottering, US Intelligence estimated that the shock of Russia's shift from…
