Easy Road--NOT
today's reading.
Psalms 126 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream...
the blog.
I dread going through tough times. But the fact of the matter is, I've been there before (plenty of times), and I know I'll be there again. It's just part of life and that's exactly what I see when I read Psalm 126--a clear message that hard times and circumstances, times of sorrow, times of hurt, times of loss, should be expected as we live for Christ. But the Psalmist doesn't stop on that downer note; He goes on to let us know that we have hope because the Lord will restore us. He will turn our tears into joy. Thank you Lord!
So what are your circumstances today--are you dealing with hard times, or is your situation pretty good right now? Either way, Psalm 126 has something for you. So how will you use and draw on it this weekend? Tami W.

Sugar's Sex and the City Movie Premiere Party!
Last night was a night to remember in Sugarland. Not only did we get to see the Sex and the City movie, but we were also treated to a fabulous afterparty, complete with yummy cosmos, mini appetizers, and sprinkle cupcakes! The food and decor were awesome (thanks, PartySugar!) but you know what I was most excited about . . . the party-goers' outfits! From Geek to Bella, Savvy to Buzz, and more, the Sugar girls really outdid themselves. There were dresses galore, high heels a plenty, and pizzazz to go around. Check it out!

City leaders from around the country will learn new ways of driving innovation in their communities from top university experts, practitioners and industry leaders in Silicon Valley at the 2014 NLC University Leadership Summit.
Did you know that University Level continuing education is eligible toward the 'Advanced Leadership' level of the League of California Cities' Mayors and Council Members Department Leadership Academy? USC is planning an executive education forum for local leaders in Sacramento, April 26-27, 2013. Save the date, and look for more information to come.
One of the many ways you can be involved in the League is to participate in a Diversity Caucus. Throughout the year, the League's Diversity Caucuses hold meetings, events and there are leadership opportunities through these groups as well.
The League's Policy Committees met in Sacramento, January 17-18, 2013. The Mayors and Council Members Department has eight representatives who serve on the policy committees on behalf of the Department. Their updates from the meetings can be found here. More information about policy committees, including full highlights from the meetings, can be found on the League's Web site.
Last week was a busy week in Sacramento for the more than 450 city officials who attended the sold-out 2013 League of California Cities' New Mayors and Council Members Academy in Sacramento, Jan. 16–18.
The Mayors and Council Members Department wants to recognize you for participating in continuing education and for your service to your community and the League. It's easy – just submit your qualifications for the Mayors and Council Members Academy, and at the next Department Meeting at Annual Conference, you will be recognized with a certificate and pin in front of your peers.
Members of the Mayors and Council Members Department: Thanks to all who attended the Mayors and Councilmembers Department Meeting in San Diego. For those who did not, I would like to provide a quick summary of the actions taken at the meeting.
The Mayors and Council Members Department is currently seeking applicants for representatives to the League's eight Policy Committees. The first meeting of the Policy Committees is in January. This year, applications for these appointments are being sought from the League membership. If you are interested in serving please send your application to Samantha Caygill (email@example.com or 916-658-8240) by October 19.
The Mayors and Council Members Department approved of the following individuals to serve on the Department's Executive Committee at the 2012 Business Meeting at Annual Conference.
The Executive Committee recommends that the amendments to the bylaws as set forth in the document linked to here be approved, and that the membership waive the 90 day notice requirements in Article IX of the bylaws. A vote on approval of this document will take place at the Mayors and Council Members Department Meeting at the League of California Cities' Annual Conference in San Diego. This meeting will take place at the San Diego Convention Center on September 5 from 2-3:30 p.m.
The Mayors and Council Members Department is seeking applicants for the 2nd Vice President and Director positions on the Executive Committee. Apply by August 3 for the 2nd Vice President or Director positions.
Regional government may be just the forum you need to solve that vexing problem. Given recent policy changes, most local officials probably think of regional governance in terms of SB 375 and its Sustainable Communities Strategy. But COGs are much more than that.
Early February, the League Board of Directors met and created a special task force to develop a strategy that identifies needed fixes to AB X1 26, the bill that mandated the dissolution of our Redevelopment Agencies and liquidation of our assets. The Task Force also was asked to develop short and long-term strategies for providing cities with additional and stronger economic development tools.
The City of Bell recently convened a historic bi-lingual Community Forum that brought residents together to deliberate and to offer guidance to local officials on goals and budget priorities for the 2012-13 fiscal year. This process is one of several initiatives of the new Bell City Council to restore transparent, community-focused government to Bell. The Institute for Local Government's website has more information about these efforts in the City of Bell and resources for local officials at http://www.ca-ilg.org/BellMaterials.
The Mayors and Council Members Department provides networking opportunities and fosters professional development for department members through the League's educational and communication tools. It also serves as a technical and advisory resource to the League through its policy committee representatives (see list below).
Mayors and Council Members Department Bylaws can be found here.
The League recognizes Mayors and Council Members for their service and for taking part in continuing education through the Mayors and Council Members Leadership Academy. A list of Mayors and Council Members who have received recognition since 2003 can be found here: Leadership (Level 1), Advanced Leadership (Level 2) and Leadership in Action (Level 3).
To honor your achievements of 'Advanced Leadership' and 'Leadership in Action' within the Academy, a recognition ceremony before your colleagues is held at the department meeting at the League's Annual Conference or you may also choose to be recognized in your own city at an appropriate occasion and/or via a press release provided by the League. Upon completion of each level, you will be awarded an Academy Graduation Certificate and lapel pin.
Complete criteria are detailed for the three levels of achievement: 'Leadership,' 'Advanced Leadership' and 'Leadership in Action.'

THURSDAY, Sept. 30 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly 80 percent of men
at higher risk for breast cancer aren't aware that males can
develop the disease, a new study finds, and none of the men
surveyed said their doctors had talked to them about breast
In the study, published in the October issue of the
American Journal of Nursing, the researchers surveyed 28 men who were at higher risk for male breast cancer because they had at least one blood relative with the disease on their mother's side. Seventy-nine percent of the men didn't know that men could develop breast cancer, and 43 percent said having the disease might cause them to question their masculinity, the survey found.
"This study provides a first step toward an improved understanding about men's perceptions and knowledge of male breast cancer," study author Eileen Thomas, an assistant professor at the College of Nursing at the University of Colorado Denver, said in a news release from the journal's publisher.
"Male breast cancer is uncommon and so has largely been ignored by the media, general population and health care community," Maureen Shawn Kennedy, editorial director and interim editor-in-chief of the journal, said in the news release. "Still, nurses in all settings need to raise awareness about male breast cancer among men as well as women, especially those men at high risk for the disease."
According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, breast cancer
in men accounts for less than 1 percent of breast cancer cases, and
tends to strike men aged 60 to 70.
More information
The U.S. National Library of Medicine has details on
male breast cancer.

John Figaro lives a big, physically demanding life: As a metal fabricator, he's on his feet eight hours a day, carrying and working with 60 pound steel sheets. After work, three children keep him and his wife on the run.
But despite his tough-it-out character, nothing prepared him for the excruciating pain that literally brought him to his knees. The cause was severe, debilitating arthritis which had developed because Figaro was born bowlegged.
Because Figaro's legs flexed both outward and backward, the strain eventually caused the protective cushiony cartilage in his inner knees to wear out. Without a cushion, his knee bones rubbed together resulting in horrible stiffness, decreased range of motion and life-altering discomfort.
Figaro met with Mark Sobel, MD, Virtua orthopaedic surgeon. Dr. Sobel: "John was lucky. Only the inner portions of his knees were damaged, so he was an ideal candidate for partial knee replacement."
Rajesh Jain, MD, another Virtua orthopaedic surgeon who performs partial knee replacements, explains: "In these procedures, the surgeon only replaces about one-third of the knee with an artificial device – unlike a total knee replacement where a whole new artificial knee is required."
A partial knee replacement is a minimally invasive procedure with a smaller, three- to four-inch incision. Patients usually experience less pain and get back on their feet faster. Figaro arrived at Virtua in the morning and left that same day.
"Late in the afternoon, on the same day as my surgery, I actually walked out of the hospital – using a walker and my brand new knee. Now that is a miracle," exclaims Figaro.
Virtua surgeons are among the few in the region who regularly perform partial knee replacements as same-day procedures.
Just 11 days after his first partial knee replacement, Dr. Sobel replaced Figaro's other damaged knee. Today, with two new knees and fully recovered from surgery, Figaro says, "I'm back to the life I always wanted at work and at home – pain-free on the factory floor and free to run with my kids – everywhere."

Sara walked across the dark carpet to the old door. She pushed past the door, her muscles painfully clenching as she gasped sharply. Annoyed, she snatched the handle of the white vacuum. Lumbering a little exaggeratedly to the electrical slot she pressed the silver prongs into the notches. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn along the floor as something dark skittered under a thick shelf. She cursed to herself. Sara considered that it might be a rodent but decided that there was nothing she could do anyway.
"Kyla, can you tell Maggie there was a rat or something" she said. "You'll be here in the morning right?"

Vt. gets federal aid for flood damageJuly 27,2013The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing Vermont $1 million to help the state pay to repair damage from a series of unprecedented spring and summer floods that damaged roads across the state.
The Federal Highway Administrations Emergency Relief Program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of some federal roads and bridges damaged by natural disasters or catastrophic events.
The three members of Vermonts congressional delegation praised the decision.
This is a much-needed infusion of federal funds to help towns throughout Vermont repair roads washed out by several storms this year, said a statement by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch.
A presidential disaster declaration already has been issued for flooding in Chittenden, Washington and Essex counties between May 22 and May 26. The declaration means the state will be entitled to federal help recovering from those events.
State officials are hoping another declaration will be issued for more recent flooding.
The storms began in May and lasted until early July. There were about 30 separate road segments closed by storm damage.

With the final sound of the horn at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, the Ottawa Senators joined Canada's six other NHL teams on the sidelines.
And while it's been 19 years since a Canadian NHL team has hoisted the Stanley Cup and with the Senators and Canucks making first-round exits this past week, there will certainly be no shortage of headlines when it comes to Canada's illustrious seven.
In Vancouver, the specualtion is already rampant about goaltender Roberto Luongo. Will the Canucks trade him - and to which team?
The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly one of the teams on Luongo's trade list, but anyone who follows this team (which has missed the postseason for seven straight years), will argue that their problems don't just hang on goaltending.
For the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers will have the first-overall pick in the NHL draft. What will they do with it? Is Brent Sutter going to be their head coach? And who will be the next head coach of the Calgary Flames?
The Ottawa Senators exceeded everyone's expectations this season - what will they do for next year? And will captain Daniel Alfredsson be on the ice on opening night?
The Montreal Canadiens will surely make some noise in the offseason, but obviously can't do much until they hire a new GM (and perhaps a head coach).
And what will the Winnipeg Jets do after their honeymoon season?
So here's Dave's question to you: "What is the most intriguing off-season question facing a Canadian team, and how would you answer it?"
Here are the answers that Dave liked best:
Roberto Luongo's name was mentioned often, as you might expect.
Shane wrote this: "If Luongo joins the Leafs, he'll get them to the playoffs. Next question? Who's the back-up who takes over in the first round?"
David skips past one question to get to another: "How will the Montreal media react when Patrick Roy turns down an offer from the Habs to become coach of the Quebec Nordiques?
Jim's most intriguing question is: "Will Alfredsson return? I'll lose it worse than he did if he doesn't."
This is from Scott in Winnipeg: "The first off-season will provide a real test for the Jets. Can the tremendous fan support lure high-end talent to Winnipeg? (That and some money, maybe)
Michael asks: "Will an ownership change result in a different management style in Toronto? I hope so."
This is from Chris: "Will the Oilers keep the number-one draft pick or trade it? I say "keep it" and add another forward who can score." (I should check to see when this was written, could have been last year, or the year before).
And this was predictable. Ben's most intriguing off-season question? "Which Canadian team has the best golfers?"
And Dave's Reply to All:
Six of the seven Canadian teams will try to get better this summer and the Vancouver Canucks will try not to get worse. The Canucks are in the unique position of needing to make changes after winning two straight President's Trophies. They run the risk of doing too much, or not enough. They'll be the most interesting team to watch, and there will be no results worth evaluating until just about exactly one year from right now.

The Super Bowl being played in New Jersey Sunday is not providing a respite from scandal for Gov. Chris Christie.
Some Republicans say allegations from a former loyalist that Christie knew about a politically motivated lane closure as it happened last year could end up damaging his 2016 presidential prospects. Meanwhile, Christie's political team is going on the offensive against the accuser.
The governor's political team sent an email Saturday to donors, along with columnists and pundits who might be in a position to defend Christie, bashing the man Christie put in a top post at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the accusations the man's lawyer made in a letter Friday.
The email says the former Port Authority official, David Wildstein, "will do and say anything to save David Wildstein."
Christie's team denies that Christie knew about the traffic jam or its political motive until after it was over and bashes Wildstein, a former mayor who later became an anonymous political blogger.
Much of the letter quoted previous newspaper articles that took critical looks at Wildstein, who resigned in December from the $150,000-per-year job at the Port Authority that he got with Christie's blessing. The Christie email notes that a 2012 article in The Record of Bergen County says Wildstein "was a very contentious person."
But the email does not mention other comments about Wildstein in that same story, including from Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak: "He is there in that job because he is well suited to the task of playing a role in reforming the Port Authority in accordance with the governor's goals," Drewniak said. "If he's not liked for that role, and if he's accused of being zealous in that regard, then we plead guilty."
The email, headlined "5 Things You Should Know about the Bombshell That's Not a Bombshell," was obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed by Christie's office. It was first reported by Politico.
Alan Zegas, a lawyer for Wildstein, did not respond to emails from The Associated Press on Saturday night. He could also not be reached on his cellphone.
Wildstein, who was the first of four people with Christie connections to lose a job because of the scandal, is among 20 people and organizations connected to Christie who must comply with a new round of subpoenas from a legislative investigative committee by Monday. Most of the recipients have asked for more time.
When Wildstein appeared before a panel of lawmakers in January, he asserted his right against self-incrimination and refused to answer any questions. Zegas said Wildstein would testify if granted immunity from prosecution.
Some Republicans say the accusations could derail hopes of Christie running for president if he can't shake the scandal soon, while others express faith in the governor.
"It's not good for him," said Matt Beynon, a Republican operative who worked on former Sen. Rick Santorum's 2012 presidential campaign and still has him as a client. "The longer the story goes on, the worse it gets for him. If this is still an issue a year from now, he's going to have trouble pulling the trigger. … Gov. Christie will have to think long and hard about running."
But Ken Langone, a co-founder of Atlanta-based Home Depot Inc. and a staunch Christie supporter, expressed no reservations. "I have complete faith and trust that the governor is telling the truth," he said, "and I continue to believe that he would be a superb president if he were elected in the future."
Elliott reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Ken Thomas in Washington, Karen Matthews in New York and Angela Delli Santi in Trenton, N.J., contributed.

2 Responses to "Super Bowl can't save Christie from scandals"
Even if there is "evidence" Governor Christie knew of the lane closing, an outside lawyer alluding to this in a letter about fees is certainly odd. Exactly what was he hoping to accomplish by saying it?
If the lawyer's purpose was to show his client took a fall for the Governor, who should therefore now pay the attorney fees, this is hardly the sort of thing graphically put in a letter — even if it is true.
We might assume then that the lawyer had an anterior motive, unrelated to the payment of fees. If this is true and the intent was to undermine the Governor, the lawyer certainly accomplished this — and without offering one iota of proof.
But if the lawyer indeed has no proof, he might need to worry about more than not getting paid. And if he does have proof, he might have to worry about having waived his client's 5th Amendment right not to incriminate himself — when called upon to testify about it.
When the IRS scandal broke last year, many Obama detractors declared "How could Obama not have known about this? The head of the IRS works for him!" I don't hear that same argument being made now about Christie and his aides, oddly enough.

Madhuri Dixit turns 47
Madhuri Dixit celebrates her birthday today
Madhuri Dixit, regarded widely as one of Bollywood's best superstar-actresses, held sway over the audience and box-office in the 90s.
She broke many-a-heart when she quit Bollywood in 1999. Her comeback movie 'Aaja Nachle', in 2007, was a half-hearted attempt, and fell flat at the B.O. In 2011, Madhuri staged a terrific comeback, albeit on the small screen, with the reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'.
Come 2014, Madhur Dixit seeks to revive her career with author-backed roles in films like 'Dedh Ishqiya' and 'Gulaab Gang'.
We take a look at the life and career of Queen Mads, who turns 47 today.

Mike Kelly now calling on candidates and counting agents for East ward.
Elton candidates called over to the corner of the room. Announcement has to be soon.
Mike Kelly has not yet announced any ward. Cllr James Frith has tweeted that Labour's Sarah Kerrison has won Elton, however.
- this has not yet been announced.
Congratulations to my new ward colleague, Labour's, @Sarah_in_Elton on being elected Cllr for Elton ward #BuryNorth #ForTheMany— @jimmyfrith 23 May 2014
That is made up of 42,053 ballots plus 19,188 postal votes.
Mike Kelly: turnout 42.97% turnout for European elections. In total 61,241 ballots.
The guys doing the live streaming appear to have broken out a few arty panoramic shots. Good to get an overview.
The rumour is the tories have held on in Tottington and Ramsbottom. Looks that way in North manor too— @ABardsleyBT 23 May 2014
Couple of Bury's friendly bobbies giving the floor a quick patrol. Some of the only relaxed-looking faces I can see at the moment.
The same table has just fallen for the second time. Could be a metaphor for something? More than a few people jumped then I think.
It has been an hour since the Bury North count began. Hearing whispers Rammy could be soon.
Just a recap if Elton is first: Conservative Cllr Michael Hankey is up against Lib Dem Andrew Garner, UKIP Graeme Kerby, Labour Sarah Kerrison and Green Julie Southworth.
Not the best quality image I'm afraid, but East and Church ward counters look like they might be finished. http://t.co/IqFxVsBpfP— @TuiBenjaminBT 23 May 2014
East ward counters also looking like they might be nearly done.
We've heard the Elton result is imminent.
A lot of pacing being done here. Can see a few nervous faces from the press gallery.
Madam Mayor Cllr Sharon Briggs is here, wearing her mayoral chain but no party rosette. The mayoralty changes to Bury's first independent mayor, Michelle Wiseman, next month.
Other husband-and-wife candidates include incumbent Lib Dem Cllr Donal O'Hanlon, St Mary's ward, and his wife Joanne O'Hanlon, who is standing in Radcliffe East against Cllr Nick Parnell.
Spotted: Tim Pickstone. Just arrived. Bury North MP David Nuttall has left, to return later he says. Bury South MP Ivan Lewis still holding the fort. David's wife Sue Nuttall is up for reelection in Church ward.
Radcliffe East Cllr Nick Parnell is also not present, due to being in hospital so I'm told. Get well soon Nick.
Still no sign of Lib Dem leader Tim Pickstone, who is contesting Holyrood.
Bury South count now also underway. Much more subdued atmosphere here now, Cllrs looming over the counters. http://t.co/eJZrGAAAY3— @TuiBenjaminBT 23 May 2014
Count now underway for Bury South also. Completely different atmosphere here now; much quieter, cllrs standing anxiously over counters.
Tamoor Tariq, Bury's youngest cllr, is up for reelection in the Redvales ward. Among those standing against him is Conservative candidate Luis McBriar, another youngster.
Counting for Tottington and Elton momentarily halted by a loud bang - not to worry, only a table falling over. Not one of the ones ballots were being counted on either.
Cllrs beginning to cluster nervously round tables as Bury North count officially underway http://t.co/GuLyGeTC4A— @TuiBenjaminBT 23 May 2014
Mike Kelly announces count for Bury North to start now, still some verification going on for Bury South wards.
Speaking to cllr mike Connolly, labour leader, who says it is too tight to call at the moment.
It looks as though counting is ready to start in a few wards, but not everywhere
This is how things are looking. You'll notice that there are now two ladies in bright pink tops. #BuryLiveResults http://t.co/PsDEydT84Z— @Missus_IP 23 May 2014
Were up and running here at the Bury Council election count. Results not expected until at least 1pm. http://t.co/PVH1PSqALv— @ABardsleyBT 23 May 2014
Iain Gartside is defending Tottington ward, Tim Pickstone Holyrood, Jane Lewis Radcliffe North and Rishi Shori Radcliffe West.
A few Labour cabinet names are also up for reelection - Rishi Shori, member for health, housing and adult care and Jane Lewis, member for leisure, tourism and culture.
Among those defending their seats are Conservative leader Iain Gartside and Liberal Democrat leader Tim Pickstone.
Two current Labour cllrs, Ken Audin, who represented Besses, and Ann Audin, ward cllr for Unsworth, are not seeking reelection.
Nine incumbent Labour cllrs, six Conservatives (almost half their 13 total seats in the council) and both Bury's Lib Dem cllrs are standing.
UKIP fielded nine candidates and the English Democrats two.
Labour and the Tories have both contested all 17 seats available, with the Lib Dems and the Greens standing 15 candidates each.
This is also the first year Bury Council has provided a live stream of the count to watch online. This is something they've been doing at council meetings since December 2012.
This is the first year the count has taken place the day after polling, rather than on the night as is customary.
The basics - one third of Bury's 51 council seats, 17 wards, were up for election yesterday. A total of 75 candidates stood across the borough.
Correction - it's still verification at the moment, counting not expected to start for another hour
Counting well underway now, MPs Ivan Lewis and David Nuttall are both in attendance.
Looking like a 2pm declaration for the #Ramsbottom election result. Counting going slow.— @CllrIanBevan 23 May 2014
Morning all. We're ready for some election count action here. Stay with us this afternoon to find out all the news first.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school, lots of parent involvement. Academics are challenging. There are many ways for students to be involved in the school; clubs and sports.
Livermore hs got to be one of the best schools EVER. its SO spirited, and the new principal is bomb! hes really cool and so are all the new vice principals (: I think they ar etrying to make lhs students have good grades and stuff, but still have an awesome high school experience (: the kids are nice, and most of the teachers are pretty awesome too (: its a big campus and lhs is big on spirit ,so they're big on sports too. there are lots of clubs you can join,andeveryones is really friendly (:
Great school. My kids love this school. Mykids told me that the teacher is nice
This school has the best librarian ever. She helps kids with reports, research and computer work. She is patient but doesn't put up with kids who aren't working on class assignments. She is respected by teachers, parents and students. Let's keep her at LHS.
Because the school is so supported of the students.
The teachers are great! My children have gotten a good education. The sports coaches are really caring and encourage the kids to do their best.
Livermore High is not only great for academics, they have great clubs, sports, and afterschool activities. They have an amazing drama program and clubs range from everything to drama and gay-straight alliance to link crew and interact club. It is truly an amazing school, and I am getting so much out of it.
Livermore High is a lot like small schools were when I was growing up. LHS continues to keep it's heritage and small time feel alive, which is hard in this day and age. It is also hard for it to compete with other local schools for funding, athletics, scholastics, etc. LHS needs and deserves extra funding. My children benefitted greatly from this school.
I give LHS a 5/5 because it is a very nice school that has great teachers, VPs and a very nice generous principal.
I am an advanced student, currently enrolled in A.P. Biology, Calculus, and English. I am thoroughly pleased with my experience thus far in Livermore High. I am active in leadership and sports, and feel that I have had an amazing time here.
Strong Students and good parent support keep the school acceptable for the average student. Many students are allowed to fall between the cracks by the teachers and staff.
Excellent school. Go cowboys!
Great school! The teachers really seem to care about the students.
The advanced classes are wonderful, teachers are full of motivation and make students feel important. Unfortunetelly, for most of the students, the lack of attention that is given is very detrimental. The administration is a joke, and many of the CORE required classes ae significantly sub standard
I love this school!

Kelly's Bachelorette Party by BahamaMamas - over 4 years ago
"We decided to take a trip to the Bahamas for Kelly's Bachelorette Party....so we went on a CRUISE! This picture is only part of the group but a great shot of the t-shirt at Senor Frogs in Nassau, Bahamas!

Subject: Bull!
At first, one might consider 'The Great Swindle' a great expressionistic work, for the first 10 minutes of this film features a man so confused about people's opinions of why prices are so high that he literally crunches his hand in his face. He then goes home to his son (?), both, curiously, are violinists (they do a duet in one scene). The son complains to Dad that none of this price fixing would go on if everyone was unionized. "Bull!" says the Father. (they say "bull" a lot in this film, oddly). The son figure convinces Dad to go to a Union Meeting. When they get there, they (and we_ see a movie. which is totally amazingly union propagandastic and uses some amazing images (love the mouth on the microphone bit). Although it seems there are two films (literally) here, it's easy to see which one is better put together as the father/son bits are badly edited, poorly lit and has poor dialogue. But still it's an oddball film, some of which (but not all) ring true today.

Tony Katz: Media Believes in a 'Santa Claus'

Tony Katz tells MRCTV's Kathleen Burch, "If your whole life you're told that Santa Claus is real, and then you're told Santa Claus isn't real, well it's kind of hard to get around the fact that Santa Claus isn't real."
He explains his analogy, saying, "The press wants to believe that they control the real story" - that they control the truth, rather than a myth like Santa Claus.
MRCTV's Katie Yoder films the interview at AFP's Defending the American Dream Summit.

What mortgage rate will you really get?
Sure, interest rates are at record lows. But your credit score and the amount you bring to the table affect how much you'll pay for the loan.
This post comes from Rob Berger at partner blog The Dough Roller.
Here are three facts about mortgage applications that at first glance are difficult to reconcile:
- Mortgage rates are at historic lows.
- Real-estate prices have fallen substantially over the past few years.
- The number of mortgage applications over the past two months is down.
So what's going on here? Well, according to The Wall Street Journal, part of the problem is persistent unemployment. Rates and prices can be low, but if you are looking for work, you won't be buying a a home or refinancing a mortgage.
But there is a second problem that has persisted for several years: low credit scores. According to Fair Isaac, the creator of the FICO credit score, more than 25% of consumers who have active credit files (about 43 million people) have FICO scores of 599 or below. A chart on the FICO Banking Analytics Blog shows the shift over time.
A score of 599 won't qualify you for most mortgages.
Now, we've already covered what credit score you need to get a mortgage. But there are still two unanswered questions:
- First, what credit score do you need to qualify under Fannie Mae's guidelines (which most mortgages must meet)?
- Second, even if you qualify, how does your credit score affect what you'll pay for the loan?
Let's take a look at both of these questions. (Post continues below.)
What credit score do you need?
Fannie Mae publishes a series of matrices setting out fairly complicated rules on pricing loans. These rules include not only credit score requirements, but also loan-to-value rules. LTV is important because, in combination with your credit score, it can result in higher or lower interest rates and in some cases determine whether you will qualify for a mortgage at all.
Perhaps the most common mortgage is for the purchase of a single-family home. Subject to some exceptions, your credit score must be at least 620 if your LTV is equal to or less than 75%, and 660 if your LTV is greater than 75%. The same guidelines apply for what is called a limited cash-out refinance.
How does your score affect the cost of the loan?
This is where things really get interesting. Fannie Mae breaks credit scores into eight categories. For each category, it then provides various LTVs. For each credit score/LTV combination, Fannie Mae provides what it calls a loan-level price adjustment, which ranges from -0.25% to 3%. This means that depending on your credit score, down payment and other factors, you could be paying up to 3% more for your loan.
Fannie Mae has published several charts showing the various credit score/LTV combinations. Here's an example of one:
The "good" news is that you can choose how you pay these additional costs. You can choose to pay at closing in the form of points. Or the costs can be baked into your loan, increasing the interest rate you pay. If you choose a higher interest rate over points, each 1% in LLPA will increase your interest rate by 0.25%. Either way, if you trigger an LLPA, you'll pay the price.
So, what's the takeaway here? First, as we've said many times before, your credit score is really important. A good score of at least 720 (and preferably higher) will save you thousands of dollars in mortgage interest.
Second, there is no reason to worry about a "perfect" credit score. The chart above tops out at 740. (Estimate your credit score for free.)
Third, don't be fooled by advertised mortgage rates. The ads always show the lowest possible rates. Depending on the terms of the loan and your credit score, your rate could be higher.
And finally, the Fannie Mae guidelines are extremely complicated. We've only scratched the surface here. So if you are in the market to buy a home or refinance, check with a mortgage broker who can walk you through all the rules and let you know the best mortgage rates available for your specific circumstances.

SUBJECT : Certification on Maintenance of Effort for
Fiscal Year 1999
LEGAL AND RELATED REFERENCES : 45 CFR 1321.49; and Section
309(c) of the Older Americans Act, as Amended
This program instruction requests the authorized official in each state
agency on aging to submit a certification on maintenance of effort under
Title III of the Older Americans Act for fiscal year 1999. As set forth
in 45 CFR 1321.49, the state agency maintenance of effort level is to
be determined annually:
"In order to avoid a penalty, each fiscal year the State Agency,
to meet the required nonfederal share applicable to its allotments under
this part, shall spend under the State plan for both services and administration
at least the average amount of state funds it spent under the plan for
the three previous fiscal years. If the State Agency spends less than
this amount, the Assistant Secretary reduces the State's allotments for
supportive and nutrition services under this part by a percentage equal
to the percentage by which the State reduced its expenditures."
In reporting the amount of state expenditures for the maintenance of
effort requirement, states may include expenditures incurred under the
cost allocation plan for the state agency. The authorized official in
each state agency is requested to certify to the Administration on Aging
the amount of state resources expended in fiscal year 1999 to meet the
maintenance of effort requirements under Title III of the Older Americans
Act, and whether that amount was or was not equal to the required maintenance
of effort level.
Attached is a certification form which has been approved by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB). The certification form must be signed
by the authorized state agency official and submitted to the Regional
Administrators, Administration on Aging, no later than July 28, 2000.
DUE DATE : Due July 28, 2000, to Regional Administrators,
Administration on Aging.
ATTACHMENT : Certification
of Maintenance of Effort Form OMB-0980-0180
INQUIRIES : State agencies should address inquiries
to Regional Administrators, Administration on Aging, HHS Regional Offices.
Jeanette C. Takamura
Assistant Secretary for Aging
TO : Regional Administrators on Aging, Regions I - X
FROM : Director, Grants Management Division
SUBJECT : FY 1999 Certification of States' Maintenance of Effort (GMD)
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Regional Administrators
to submit States' certifications on maintenance of effort for FY 1998
to Grants Management Division by August 31, 2000. The attached Program
Instruction, AoA-PI-00- dated, requested States to provide AoA Regional
Administrators with their certification forms by July 28, 2000.
Each certification statement must include: (1) the amount of State resources
expended in Fiscal Year 1999 to meet the required non-Federal share; (2)
whether the amount was less than, equal to, or more than the required
level of maintenance of effort; and (3) the signature of the authorized
State Agency on Aging official.
After appropriate review, please mail the certification statements to
the Grants Management Office.
Margaret A. Tolson
INQUIRIES: Inquiries should be addressed to Regional Administrators on
Aging, DHHS regional offices.

Know Your News Source
While the Bush administration has made hay of some of these problems, particularly the Newsweek case, saying that the story caused riots and the deaths of American military service personnel, the administration is not scandal-free in the area of media relations. Under Bush, the Department of Education paid a talk show host to speak favorably of the No Child Left Behind Act. Also, a faux journalist for an outfit called Talon News, Jeff Gannon, was allowed into presidential press conferences where he got to lob softball questions.
All of this hits home for the Hawaii media who are trying to do their best to present a fair and honest picture of people and events. There is the
matter of media trust, which is no small issue. While the truth may not always be comfortable for the people we cover, most journalists in Hawaii, and certainly those at this magazine, strive to uncover and convey the real story, to be of true service to our readers. So, while the nattering of
partisan talking heads or the daily screed on a blog may be the news source of choice for some out there, and while late night talk shows are certainly entertaining, please consider the track record for fairness and accuracy and the organization's commitment to you, when you choose where you get your information.
The Hawaii Business team welcomes our new associate editor, Scott Radway. Scott joins us from The Herald in Bradenton, Fla., where he served as an environmental and enterprise reporter. Before that, he was stationed in Koror, Palau as a correspondent and stringer for our sister publication, Pacific Magazine, Agency France-Presse, Pacific Daily News and Radio New Zealand International.
Scott has also worked for papers in New York and Texas and reported on city hall and the state house for The News-Times in Danbury, Conn. He has received a number of awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, including first-place honors for general news, investigative reporting and team reporting. Please say, "Hello and Aloha," when you see him around town.
In our June 2005 issue, we incorrectly stated that Honolulu was the first stop in Japan Air Lines' first commercial intercontinental flight from Japan to San Francisco in 1954. The plane refueled on Wake Island, before Honolulu. Pan Am Airlines should have been identified as Pan American World Airways. The location of the ketchup bottle water tower is in Collinsville, not Cillinsville, Ill. Hawaii Business regrets these errors.

5 Stocks Getting Ready to Pay Bigger Dividends
General Electric
Industrial behemoth General Electric (GE) is having a standout year in 2012. So far, shares of the firm have rallied more than 26%, besting the S&P's already impressive returns by a wide margin this year.
GE's hefty 3% dividend yield has added a material amount to the returns investors are getting on this conglomerate. Currently, that payout comes from a 17-cent per share dividend. I think that GE has room for growth in 2012.>>5 Bullish Stocks to Buy on the Next Dip GE is a manufacturer with its hands in a diverse group of businesses: the company builds everything from jet engines to medical devices to dishwashers. The common thread between all of those seemingly disparate units is that the products are capital-intense, so they do significantly better when money is cheap and readily available -- just like now. GE is a case study for companies hoping to find cost savings between completely different units and boost the bottom line even when times are tough. That's a big benefit in this economy. But investors shouldn't forget that one of GE's biggest businesses is still lending. GE Capital nearly gutted the rest of the company when the credit crisis hit in 2008, requiring equity dilution to keep shares afloat. While the business has recovered immensely in the years since, it's still probably too big a portion of GE's total business today. That said, GE is generating some huge cash flows right now, more than enough to send some money back to shareholders in the form of a dividend hike. The firm's third-quarter earnings call could be just the time and place to give shareholders a raise. GE also shows up on a list of 5 High-Yielding Stocks in a Strong Bull Trend.
