All About APN
APS Board Candidate, Steven Lee, Touted Diploma Mill PhD
- 8-8-2013
(APN) ATLANTA -- Steven Lee, a community leader who serves at-risk youth primarily in Southwest Atlanta, is running for the Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education District 5 seat.
The District 5 seat is being vacated by LaChandra Butler Burks, who is not seeking reelection. As previously reported by Atlanta Progressive News, Raynard Johnson is also running for the seat.
Lee has an impressive record of working with youth as Executive Director of the Unity Network and Counseling Center (UNCC).
"We focus on at-risk youth, job development, job training, GED, working with at-risk youth from the age of eight and nine years old, up," Lee said. UNCC has two programs: a Guiding Hand Mentoring Program, for teenage boys; and In the Zone, for elementary school kids.
But APN can reveal that Lee appears to have previously misrepresented his educational credentials in documents prepared for the City of Atlanta.
Lee's current campaign materials do not mention that he previously referred to himself as Dr. Lee, and as having a PhD in Counseling Psychology.
However, three resolutions passed by the City Council of Atlanta, appointing him to three different boards in 2009, refer to him as Dr. Lee, in the captions of the respective legislation, as well as in supporting documents, including in Lee's Curriculum Vitae (CV), or resume.
Then-Mayor Shirley Franklin; Councilmembers Felicia Moore (District 9), CT Martin (District 10), Joyce Sheperd (District 12), and Lamar Willis (Post 3-at-large); and then-Councilman Jim Maddox (District 11) each signed letters of recommendation referring to Lee as Dr. Lee. Moore, Martin, and Willis signed two such letters.
In 2009, the Council appointed Lee to the Beltline Affordable Housing Advisory Board, the Hollowell/M. L. King Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee, and the Zoning Review Board, at least in part of the basis of his purported educational credentials.
When first asked about the references to him as Dr. Lee in the City legislation, Lee told APN that his PhD was from Belford University.
Belford University is a diploma mill that--prior to its closure in 2012--offered online, nonaccredited college degrees, for a fee of several hundred dollars, to individuals for their previous life experiences. While it maintained a post office box in Humble, Texas, the degrees were mailed from the United Arab Emirates.
According to various news reports, at least two people in the US--including a fire chief in New Hampshire and a faculty member at Pensacola State College in Florida--have lost jobs based on their representations of having earned an advanced degree from Belford.
Yet, Lee listed on his CV, which he submitted to the Atlanta City Council, that he actually had an MPA and PhD from Bedford University, spelled with a d instead of an l. He stated in his CV that he attended Bedford University from 1988 to 1990 for his MPA, and from 1990 to 2005 for his PhD.
When APN noted in a follow-up interview with Lee that Bedford University is located in the United Kingdom, and asked whether he attended Bedford or Belford, Lee reiterated that he attended Belford--the diploma mill, not the UK school--and said that the misstatement on the CV must have been a typographical error.
As for the PhD from Belford, or the Dr. title which he no longer references, Lee told APN, "That's not something we focus on. That's not what we do."
"I don't announce the degree nor am I running on the degree. I am running on my experience and my commitment to the kids," Lee wrote in a follow-up text message.
Lee has previously run twice for State House. He challenged State Rep. Sheila Jones (D-Atlanta) for the Democratic nomination for what was then the District 44 seat in 2006 and 2010.
As reported by APN at the time, in 2012, Lee made public comment to the Atlanta City Council in favor of legislation proposed by Councilman Willis that would have lessened the independence of the City's Ethics Officer.
The legislation would have changed the way that the Ethics Board nominates a new Ethics Officer. Currently, the Board nominates someone, and the Council votes them up or down. Under Willis's legislation, the Board would have been tasked with nominating three candidates, and the Council would be able to select one of the three.
Numerous citizens and Councilmembers opposed the legislation, which was nearly unanimously filed [or discarded of by the Council]. Councilwoman Keisha Lance Bottoms (District 11) was the only one to oppose filing the legislation; even Willis had backed off of his own legislation after the pushback from the public.
Only two citizens, Dave Walker and Steven Lee, supported the legislation in their comments.
Lee moved to Atlanta fifteen years ago from Chicago, Illinois, although he was born in Mississippi.
Since then, he has served in numerous community leadership capacities, including as President of the Board of Directors of People TV, which for the last few years has been facing financial challenges and currently survives only by virtue of City funding.
He currently still serves on the ZRB and on the Hollowell/MLK TADAC. He says he does not believe serving on TADAC poses a conflict of interest with his running for APS BOE, but that he will step aside from TADAC if necessary.
He is also President of the Martin Luther King Merchant's Association.
Lee says People TV's current troubles should not be a reflection on his leadership there.
"No, I don't think so. Our funding was still intact with Comcast, while I was serving. These issues came about after my tenure. These issues weren't issues that we were facing at that time," Lee said.
"That [negotiations with Comcast] wasn't handled by the Board. [Then-CEO] Charlotte Engel-- we didn't attend a lot of the meetings for Comcast, and all those things--that was our CEO, she would come back and she would report on what was going on. It wasn't a problem. It started at the very end of them discussing them [issues with Comcast] and talking about it," he said.
Lee says that during his service on the ZRB he has fought to protect and preserve neighborhoods. Thus, he opposed the recent proposal by Councilman Alex Wan (District 6) that would have sought to strip away the grandfathered-in status of adult entertainment establishments on Cheshire Bridge Road.
The ZRB and the Council voted down the measure earlier this year. Lee did not participate in the ZRB vote because he was absent from the meeting, but Lee says he is the one who made a motion to table the vote at an earlier ZRB meeting.
"I was the person that actually tabled - I felt as though there was not a representation of the community there at the meeting. I was out of town for the final vote," he said, adding that, if present, he would have voted no.
As for the Hollowell/MLK TADAC, Lee says that the Atlanta Development Authority disbanded TADAC after only three meetings, but that they are now reinstating the organization.
Lee says he was elected President of the TADAC, but that he had no recourse when it was disbanded because he did not have contact information for any members other than the Vice President; and that the Secretary of the TADAC worked for the ADA. Lee says he did not get a response from the ADA as to why the TADAC was disbanded.
As previously reported by APN, a recent audit of the TADs by City Auditor Leslie Ward and her staff, revealed gross mismanagement of the TADs by the ADA. As for the Hollowell/MLK TAD, this is one of the TADs where little to no money had been spent on community improvement, but most, if not all, of it had been spent on ADA overhead and salaries.
The TADAC, which had some community oversight authority, had clearly failed in its role.
"We just received a letter - a month ago - reactivating the MLK/Hollowell Advisory Cmte. I'm not sure what happened - they just pulled away from it. People with the City [ADA] said it was going to be disbanded. They met three times, pulled away from it, now they're bringing it back up," he said.
"I was elected as President of the Advisory Board [TADAC], when it was in place the last time... We got a notice, until further notice, the advisory board will be put on hold," he said.
"We really never had an opportunity to get that work done. That Board never got off the ground - we had three meetings and it was put on hold," he said.
Lee says that if he had been on the APS Board in 2010, he would not have voted to change the rules regarding how to change the Chair of the Board. In 2010, the so-called "Gang of Five" Board Members changed the rules to make it easier to change the Chair; they then ousted Butler Burks and replaced her with then-Board Member Khaatim El (District 2).
"Given the information I have at this point, I would have voted to not change the rules... I'm not sure of all the information and all the processes they went through. From where I was standing at the time, I didn't support the rule change then. If I was on the Board at the current time, my gut is I would've voted in opposition of changing the rule," he said.
As for charter schools, Lee says he supports them in certain cases but believes they should not replace traditional public schools.
"I believe that charter schools are a tool in the toolbelt. It is not the toolbelt, it is a tool in toolbelt," he said.
"I don't believe they should replace public schools. I'm a believer in the public school system. I believe we should have a world class public schools system. Charter schools should not take place of the public school system," he said.
Lee said he is very concerned about the dropout rate, which he says hovers around a staggering fifty percent of APS students. At some APS schools, the graduation rate is in the thirtieth and fortieth percentiles.
He says APS needs to offer more options for students to stay in school; that APS needs to focus on making classwork more relevant to students' lives, and less relevant to standardized testing; and that APS needs to offer more options to prepare students for entering the workforce, as not all students are likely to attend college.
He also is a proponent of expanding access to early childhood education within APS.

Steve Lee is NOT the right candidate. Having served as the APAB Education Committee Chair, NPU-I Education Chair, Former Ethics Chair of Atlanta School Board, member of the Harlan Terrace Neighborhood Club, APS Parent Liaison, APS parent, native Atlanta , product of APS, Community and Entertainment Leader, and more, Lee will NOT serve District 5 well. Constituents who live in District 5, do your homework and don't be fooled by politicians who owe favors and try to force out of touch, self centered, unresponsive, power hunger, spineless, and nonproductive individuals who mean our children harm. Wake up and seek out another candidate. Lee is NOT the one. I am sure I am going to have haters so bring it on, because I know what I am talking about and could care less who I pissed off. So call me at 404.477.7836. Please know that if you call me talking crazy, you will be rebuked.

Not in the starting line up for Saturday's 2-0 win against Atalanta, he came off the bench and scored, a quality José Mourinho admired in him
I know this Guy I worked for him and hired 320 people for him to work for uncc as concession workers for events at Philips arena....he promised everyone 50 dollars a game...and never paid any one and wen people came for their money he fired them and told them he was not required to pay them...I myself eventually quit because people began to tell me they wernt getting paid and wen I spoke to him about it he refused to pay me the 750 dollars he owed me eventually everyone was fired noone was paid and he hired a whole new staff witch I hear he did the same thing to
Steven Lee is not a good candidate and I hope he does not get the board seat for the sake of the children. I know Steven personally and do not think he is ethical enough to sit on the board.
I know Steven Lee well. I am uncertain as to the foundation & basis for the comments. I have known Steven for over 10 years & have worked with his organization UNCC as a board member in 2004-2005. As a native Atlantan, I value his leadership & think he is one of the most honest, forthright persons I know. I rrecently heard of his "degree issues" & must say that that in some instances having a degree gives u leverage for an elected position. However, this man is genuinely trying to serve children & prepare them for the future in order to assist the people & if u ever visit UNCC...u know that. Ms. Freeman expect my call

England crime map comparisons
After a sluggish launch by police.uk to unleash local crime data, the Guardian and Doug McCune teamed up to provide a tool that lets you compare crime rates in different England cities:
The government's recent launch of police.uk saw a phenomenal public reaction. Within hours of going live, millions of users had attempted to gain access to maps permitting street-level scrutiny of crime incidents across the UK. Dogged by "technical problems", the site was reported by many to have failed in the face of public interest. Although the servers now seem much more capable of dealing with ongoing demand, we couldn't help but wonder if we could offer people some alternative ways to compare and contrast crime levels around the country.
Turnaround time: four days, completely with SpatialKey.
[Guardian | Thanks, Doug and Simon]

We've got a much simpler implementation of the UK data on MyLocalCrime.com
just curious, the numbers "11,422" and "2,648", what font are they? Cambria?
it's Guardian Egyptian, our house font. funnily enough, although we have the license to use it freely in Flash pieces, we can't currently use it as a web font.

As Suzuki's much anticipated and long overdue early 1990s CBR600 rival, the Suzuki RF600R nearly came up trumps. Nearly, but not quite. The Suzuki RF600R's revvy engine, fine handling and roomy comfort are plusses. Frankly weird styling and brittle build are downsides. Still; good value though…
749cc, 146bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The 2004 and 2005 Suzuki GSX-R750s are almost perfect. The new radial brakes solved the slight stopping issues of the last incarnation, the styling's on the money and the motor and chassis are better than most of us can ever hope to fully exploit. The only fly in the 10/40W is the K5 GSX-R1000, which is so utterly brilliant there ...
749cc, 140bhp, 171mph, Insurance group 16
For a bike with a lineage as race-bred and focused as the Suzuki GSX-R750, it's no small irony that the original superbike is something of a compromise. It has all the handling of the 600 and most of the usable power of the 1000. The result is a motorcycle that's near perfect on road or track. The Suzuki GSX-R750's handling ...
599cc, 101bhp, 158mph, Insurance group 14
What a makeover! And just in time… As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600. Slimmed down, firmed up and with power and torque figures to raise front wheels as well as eyebrows, the "new" Suzuki GSX-R600 was an absolute storm.
599cc, 92bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 14
A raw, involving, lunatic on wheels. The more throttle-happy you are with it, the more the Suzuki GSX-R600 will thrill. Virtually dead low down, wake it up at higher revs and you'll be clinging on for dear life. Not as finely honed as today's Suzuki GSX-R600 but, for some, that just adds to the manic appeal. Ridiculous, dangerous fun.
749cc, 85bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 12
This was Suzuki's answer to the Kawasaki Zephyr 750 and although the Suzuki GSX750 has its admirers, it never really caught on in the UK and there aren't very many about secondhand. The Suzuki GSX750 is a competent performer but the soft suspension and indifferent finish detract from an otherwise user-friendly package.
599cc, 73bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 11
Consistently slaughtered for not being the fastest / lightest / latest but the Suzuki GSX600F is a superb all-rounder. It doesn't cost the earth and is fast enough to be exciting too. As a cheap alternative to sporty 600s it sold well but when the budget 600 class came of age with bikes like the Fazer and SV650 the Suzuki ...

Schnauzer Poodle Hybrid DogsFamily: Canidae "Mollie"Canis lupus familiarisPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Emily
Bred since the 1970's, the Schnoodle is a most curious hybrid and is fast becoming a popular pet.
The Schnoodle is a mixed dog breed, usually a cross between a Miniature or Toy Poodle and a Miniature Schnauzer though other size combinations may also be used. Hybrid's temperaments are somewhat unpredictable, but the Schnoodle generally makes a great pet. Both Poodles and Schnauzers are cheerful and companionable, and they are easily trained. When selecting a Schnoodle, look for eye problems and seizure disorders.
Breed Type The Schnoodle is a mixed breed. A cross between the Poodle and the Schnauzer, the Schnoodle is fast becoming a popular pet.
Background Schnoodles have been bred since the 1970s. They are usually the result of a cross between the miniature schnauzer and the miniature or toy poodle, but other size combinations may also be used. Crosses between a Giant Schnauzer and a Standard Poodle are much larger than the traditional hybrids, and are called Giant Schnoodles.
Description Schnoodles may be black, white, brown, gray, apricot, or multi-colored. Schnoodles may shed lightly, or not at all. The coat may be coarse, soft, or a combination of both. The ears may stand erect or hang down. Schnoodles that are the result of a cross between a Miniature Schnauzer and a Miniature Poodle are usually 10-14 inches tall and weigh 10-20 pounds.
Care and Feeding Schnoodles need a diet high in protein and minerals to keep their coats looking great. It is generally recommended to trim the Schnoodle's coat every 6 to 8 weeks. Specific grooming requirements vary according to the dog's coat.
Schnoodles need annual checkups to maintain their good health. Vaccinations are administered on the following schedule:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
Some Schnoodles shed very little, and others do not shed at all. Their hair is hypoallergenic, so little added environmental maintenance is necessary.
Housing Your Dog Schnoodles are best suited to indoor life, but they enjoy playing outside.
Social Behaviors Schnoodles are usually great with children. They may be aggressive toward other dogs, or they may get along with them just fine. If socialized well when young, they can usually get along with other pets.
Handling and Training The Schnoodle is intelligent and eager to please, making training a delight. Some make good watchdogs, and some will catch mice.
Activities Schnoodles are rather energetic, so they need plenty of exercise. They love to play off-leash. Daily walks will help keep them happy and healthy.
Breeding/Reproduction Most Schnoodle breeders only produce first generation crosses to ensure the best possible health of the dogs. If you choose to breed your Schnoodle, look for a mate that has no family history of eye problems, epilepsy, joint problems, or Von Willebrand's disease.
Common Health Problems Eye problems and epilepsy are the most common health problems in the Schnoodle. Both of these ailments require veterinary care.
Availability The Schnoodle's popularity has made it fairly easy to find in most areas. Breeders can also be located online. Prices are usually $300 to $700.

Debate over new voting places, money for better roads, and a new medical park were all up for discussion Monday night in Greenville.
The first topic was about participation in municipal elections. Local election voting numbers have been really low in the past, so the city council wants to create more places for people to vote.
What they couldn't agree on is where these places will be. Some council members thought one of the locations initially picked out at ECU's campus, will target a specific group of voters. They asked the Board of Elections for input. The board said ECU was not a ideal place due to lack of parking and scheduling issues. In the end, the board unanimously voted for a spot on West 5th St. and a spot at the Drew Steele Center.
The second topic, was roads.
During a planning session, city staff decided road resurfacing has to be done in the city. They've determined that at least miles of road need immediate resurfacing. This will cost the city $10 million.
The city council asked staff to come up with a plan that will allow them to fix the worst roads now, and invest money annually to save the rest of our city owned roads.
Lastly, city leaders are talking about a the potential for a new medical park in Greenville. It's still very early in planning, but the city wants to work on building partnerships with the powerhouses, Vidant and the ECU Brody School of Medicine, about a possible medical park to bring in new business. They want to keep the type of business open and haven't picked a location. Council member Dennis Mitchell presented research that showed the potential for thousands of new jobs and millions in new revenue. The city is still very early in the planning process. City Council members say nothing is final, they just want to start discussions.

Damage Control
Curated by the Hirshhorn's acting director and chief curator, Kerry Brougher, and UCLA professor Russell Ferguson, "Damage Control" offers a string of creepy and disconcerting images and actions with flashes of lacerating wit. It's smart, strange, and a memorable affair overall. Yet the show's inconsistencies, curious juxtapositions, and reliance on loose-knit thematic affinities instead of solid art-historical arguments seem more appropriate to a permanent-collection exercise than a big research project.

Angels, Demons, and Savages
Sometime in early 1952, Jackson Pollock almost ate dinner with Jean Dubuffet. The hard-drinking American Abstract Expressionist had agreed to host the French Art Brut pioneer and his wife in his East Hampton home, but at the appointed hour, Pollock was a no-show. Pollock's neighbor, patron, and fellow painter Alfonso Ossorio had arranged this abortive meeting between his two heroes. He later recalled: "The idea was that we would have dinner at the Pollocks', but Jackson decided it would be simpler if he and Dubuffet didn't meet. With the host missing, it was the four of us and it was rather embarrassing … I have no recollection of seeing them together." READ MORE
Alex Prager: Face in the Crowd
Photographer and filmmaker Alex Prager makes art that is shallow by design. The young Los Angeles artist likes to produce images of detached-looking women in wigs wandering through artificial environments. Her large-scale photos pair kitsch and desolation, inviting us to absorb countless quirky details, but she seldom allows the viewer to connect or identify with her subjects. Instead, the artist's intentions tend to vanish in a spectacular fog of costumes, stereotypes, and classic Hollywood atmosphere.
In the Tower: Kerry James Marshall
For "In the Tower: Kerry James Marshall," Associate Curator James Meyer highlights the museum's 2011 acquisition of the Alabama-born and Chicago-based artist's "Great America" (1994). The painting, depicting black men and women on an amusement park boat ride, entering a tunnel haunted by white hooded figures, is paired with nine additional acrylic and collage pieces and 22 related works on paper.

Nam June Paik: Global Visionary
Nam June Paik may be the father of video art, but his modern-day descendents don't bear much of a family resemblance. The globetrotting Korean-American artist's output of abused electronic devices, anarchic musical performances, and goopy abstract psychedelia from the '60s and early '70s seems pretty far removed from the slick, single-channel videos haunting galleries, fairs, and museums nowadays. READ MORE
Richard Diebenkorn:The Ocean Park Series
There may not be much point to interrogating the artist's nonobjectivity. Diebenkorn, after all, was a double modern-art heretic: first for abandoning a perfectly respectable body of Abstract Expressionist work in the 1950s for a loose, San Francisco Bay Area-identified representational style; then, with the Ocean Park paintings, for shunting the figure aside and embracing a different, more stately and classicizing type of pictorial abstraction.
The first defection set the artist against formalist critics like Clement Greenberg. Greenberg thought that high-quality paintings should be nonobjective and resolutely flat, employing the canvas-staining methods of painters like Morris Louis or Kenneth Noland. Around 1956, Greenberg sent Noland to Diebenkorn's studio to see what the West Coast painter was up to; instead of cutting-edge abstraction, Noland was apparently confronted by figure studies, self-portraits, and still life. "[He] as much as told me, 'What the hell have you done?'," Diebenkorn later recounted. "He was really very disappointed."
Jasper Johns: Variations on a Theme
The current show at the Phillips Collection, organized by Assistant Curator Renée Maurer and featuring 100 prints from five decades, not only feels complete without including a single major work by Johns, but also offers fresh insight into how one might reconcile the big split that occurred in Johns' work in the 1980s. In that decade, the reticent creator of mute objects and seductive surfaces—flags, targets, and stenciled numbers rendered in translucent, skin-like encaustic—transformed himself into a self-referential remix artist, making paintings that look like bulletin boards pinned with floor plans for old family homes, tracings from 16th century altarpieces, and his own silhouette. READ MORE
A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters, I - XVIII
Through words and images floating in seas of blank cream-colored paper, Simon asks big questions about nature, nurture, and human bodies tossed by the currents of history. The spare aesthetics of the work and the cool, disinterested pose of the artist mirror how scientists and statesmen in the modern era have tried—and failed—to see their world and its cultures with an empirical eye. And while the artist's identical consideration of an Australian war on the Easter Bunny and, say, the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men might suggest extremely black comedy, make no mistake: "A Living Man Declared Dead" is a serious, deeply affecting show, even when it veers into the absurd. READ MORE
Roy Lichtenstein: A Retrospective
Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol are usually credited as the founding fathers of Pop Art, but the two men didn't play for the same team. Sure, there's something irresistible about the day in 1961 when Warhol dropped by Leo Castelli's gallery, discovered Lichtenstein's cartoon-inspired painting of a girl holding a beach ball, and, shocked and a little hurt, announced to gallery co-director Ivan Karp, "I make paintings like that." Warhol was mistaken: He and Lichtenstein were making very different work, for very different reasons. READ MORE
Joan Miró: The Ladder of Escape
In the history of modern art, Miró was the real thing: He could make an increasingly attenuated focus pay off in new and startling ways, decade after decade.
In "Ladder," he emerges as an artist professionally committed to Surrealist strategies for throwing off repression and self-censorship via automatism and dream imagery—and as a man personally alarmed by fascism and war, afraid for his family in the face of violent upheaval. But these sides largely remained separate.

NATIONAL JOURNAL: "Why Isn't Joe Biden Giving Back Some of His Salary?"
Scanning various newspaper and magazine websites, this column got my attention:
From NATIONAL JOURNAL's Michael Catalini, about Joe Biden's failure to join other high-profile members of the Administration in giving back some of his salary... and possible reasons why...

So the Prez is giving back $20K of his $400K. I realize Obama's detractors will say he's doing it for political reasons, but all those folks in DC do everything for political reasons, be they DEM or GOP, it's the nature of the beast. However, Obama could have taken a 'not-going-to-be-bothered' approach, so I do give him credit for sharing in the pain, even if it is symbolic since he's pretty wealthy. Still, he's giving up $20K.
My guess is, Biden will eventually end up giving some back too. His staff is being affected so it makes him look bad not to share in the misery of the folks who work for him.
Mon, Apr 8, 2013 11:10am
What gets said of Biden on the inside of the Hill, is that while Senator, he is the only one who did not get rich out of the deal...
Meaning Joe Biden was always interested in looking out for us, and not himself.
However, I am more taken aback by the suggestion that because one person is magnanimous, so must be all. That equates one with the lowest, sluggish, insectatous (new word), grubbing, pupalicious (new word again), larvistic forms of carbonic life.
I'm surprised the editors did not catch and pull it. It is the lowest of lows to suggest because one's boss gave to a charity, now must everyone else... I know it happens in the real world, and I also know that all those underneath follow through dutifully with what their boss said, but do it very grudgingly....
This is exactly like the pastor's wife, telling you that you are not a Christian, because Mr. Pizza's wife bought her new drapes and you never bought her a thing for her house...."A REAL Christian would take care of their pastor's wife." Then continue to shame you in public for pretending to be a Christian when you weren't!... it pisses you off because you just wrote a big check to the church just so they could keep their electricity on.....
Michael Catalini must be one of the lowest humans on this planet. I understand why you Allan, enjoy the company of insects on your own time, after seeing the likes of the people you have to work with in your profession......
Mon, Apr 8, 2013 12:50pm
Keep in mind that Joe Biden already 'gives back' a large portion of his salary...through income taxes. Somebody in Biden's income bracket gives about half of their salary back to the government in the form of taxes.
Indeed, everybody on this forum is 'giving back' by paying confiscatory taxes. We all give back.
Mon, Apr 8, 2013 7:12pm
Why isn't Joe Biden giving back some of his salary? Because he's a HYPOCRITE!
By the way Allan, aren't there more important topics to explore other than this guy? This is really turning into groundhog day for me.
Mon, Apr 8, 2013 9:10pm
Okay everybody. Time out. Let's listen now to some magnificent music:
Tue, Apr 9, 2013 9:14am
Oh, my Mr. Pizza... The Grand Twins of the Twin Grands.... Oh my.
Tue, Apr 9, 2013 9:22am
It was serendipity that you chose that piece. I performed that in my first recital, back in 7th Grade, as one half of a duet...
Plus, I wish I could get tickets to see them perform in Grand Forks of North Dakota...
The Grand Twins of the Twin Grands in Grand Forks...
Or, perhaps on the middle of the Brownsville Bridge...
The Rio Grande Performance of the Grand Twins of the Twin Grands.
Or if at the Guthre...
The Grand Twins of the Twin Grands Live in the Twin Cities....

Kavips: Sorry, but Ferrante & Teicher are long dead. However, you can still see Peter Nero at the Philly Pops. He's alive and well at age 78, and is one of my pizza customers.

Mrpizza: Nice music, thanks for the link. Don't get to hear music like that on the radio anymore. The demos the advertisers want probably don't know what an accustic piano is, or an orchestra with real instruments.
I too enjoyed their music. One of my favorite pieces is their rendition of Jingle Bells with them on the twin grands accompanied by a full orchestra. If I can find it when I have time to look, I'll post it. Yea I know it's not Christmas, but it is a great arrangment of that little ditty and as its NOT a religious song, really more of a winter song anyone can enjoy it.
Mike from Delaware
Thu, Apr 11, 2013 10:47pm
Mrpizza: couldn't find the version of Jingle Bells I mentioned, however did find a great version of Chop Sticks that Carman Cavallaro played in the Eddy Duchin Story. Who would have thought chop sticks could be so interesting? Enjoy.

Rare "Upstream" Screening at Academy's NYC Theater
Beverly Hills, CA (June 10, 2011) - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present John Ford's "Upstream" (1927), one of 75 "lost" American films recently discovered in the New Zealand Film Archive, on Monday, June 20, at 7 p.m. at the Academy Theater at Lighthouse International in New York City.
Academy Film Archive preservationist Brian Meacham, who inspected thousands of feet of nitrate footage in the New Zealand Archive's holdings, will introduce the screening. The presentation will feature an Academy-commissioned score by Michael Mortilla, who will provide live accompaniment on piano with Nicole Garcia on violin and percussion.
In September 2010 a newly restored print of "Upstream," the first of the repatriated features to be preserved and screened publicly, premiered at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills and later screened at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
"Upstream" is a backstage comedy that focuses on a love triangle involving an egotistical actor and a young couple who partner in a vaudeville knife-throwing act. It was one of the last completely silent films of Ford's career; his later productions included pre-recorded sound effects and music.
The National Society of Film Critics recently recognized the Academy Film Archive, New Zealand Film Archive, National Film Preservation Foundation, Park Road Post Production and Twentieth Century Fox for the rediscovery of "Upstream."
Tickets for "Upstream" are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID. Tickets may be purchased online at www.oscars.org or by mail (a printable order form is available in the Events & Exhibitions section of the website). Tickets may also be purchased at the box office prior to the event (subject to availability).
The Academy Theater is located at 111 East 59th Street (between Park and Lexington avenues) in New York City. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.oscars.org or call (212) 821-9251.

Which European Oil Major Is The Best Buy?
Bob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Big Oil is an industry with many companies to choose from. When most investors first think of buying energy stocks, the U.S-based giants usually come to mind. However, for those investors willing to broaden their geographical horizons, there are plenty of international energy companies that are just as profitable and shareholder friendly as their American competitors.
Consider these European energy majors
Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-B) is the giant among the European oil majors, with a market cap of $218 billion. Royal Dutch Shell is the epitome of slow-and-steady growth. In May, the company announced first-quarter earnings grew 3% to $7.5 billion, and its oil production increased 2% year over year.
Close competitor BP (NYSE: BP) has been the subject of much debate in the years since the tragic 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It's certainly true that the spill put a dent in the company's financial and societal standing.
To date, BP has paid more than $24 billion in expenses related to the oil spill. Of course, there's still the ongoing trial that concerns whether BP will be found guilty of gross negligence. If so, it could face as much as another $18 billion in damages to be paid to the U.S. under the Clean Water Act. In all, that would result in a total of $42 billion in damages.
That being said, the company has shed assets to cover the spill, and the stock has already lost some $52 billion in market value since the spill. BP was trading for $60 per share just before the spill, and now exchanges hands for $43 per share.
French-based Total (NYSE: TOT) is a favorite among income investors for its solid yield, but the company has had some struggles in recent quarters. The company reported first-quarter adjusted net income fell 6% in U.S. dollars year over year, to $3.8 billion. Sales fell 5% in the period.
Total management points to a number of initiatives for investors to be optimistic about going forward. In the first quarter, the company secured a number of projects aligned with its long-term growth plans, including new developments in Africa and Australia.
The shareholder rewards keep pumping
Similar to the shareholder policies of their U.S.-based competitors, these stocks are all very shareholder friendly and are committed to providing shareholder returns. In fact, whereas most of the American energy stocks provide 3% to 4% yields, these European energy majors pay dividend yields closer to 5%.
Royal Dutch Shell pays a hefty 5.25% dividend, which it increased last year.
While it's true that BP had to cut its dividend shortly after the Gulf spill, that was due mostly from political pressure and had less to do with financial necessity. It should also be noted that BP has aggressively raised its shareholder payout in the years since. BP has raised its distribution twice since it resumed dividend payments, and now yields 5%.
Along with its peers, Total yields approximately 5% as well. Total's steady production allowed it to increase its quarterly dividend by 3% in euros per share, year over year.
For investors looking for geographical diversification, modest valuations, and solid dividend yields in the energy sector, these companies may be a great place to look.
Investors looking for solid income in today's market of low interest rates and rising stock prices can find a dividend haven in the form of European energy majors. Securing a 5% yield is hard to do these days, so these stocks may be especially attractive for investors looking to derive meaningful income from their stock investments.

One of the most effective collections of HD video recordings offered in order for you. Bigcock, likewise contacted real-time cam is a digital intimacy encounter in which 2 or even more folks connected from another location via computer connection send out one another intimately specific notifications illustrating a adult-related experience. In one sort, this fantasy lovemaking is actually performed by the attendees describing their actions and addressing their talk partners in a normally written type fashioned for activate their very own adult-related feelings and imaginations. Bigcock at times incorporates real world self pleasure. The top quality of a bigcock come across typically based on the attendees potentials to evoke a vibrant, natural vision psychological of their companions. Creative imagination as well as suspension of disbelief are actually additionally seriously essential. Bigcock can easily occur either within the circumstance of existing or intimate connections, e.g. with lovers that are geographically separated, or among individuals that have no anticipation of one yet another and also fulfill in virtual spaces and also could perhaps even stay anonymous in order to each other. In some situations bigcock is actually boosted through the usage of a webcam in order to transmit real-time console of the companions. Networks used for launch bigcock are not automatically specifically committed in order to that patient, and also individuals in any Web talk may instantly obtain an information with any type of possible variety of the text "Wanna camera?". Bigcock is typically handled in Net converse areas (like talkers or internet conversations) as well as on immediate messaging systems. It may likewise be done making use of web cams, voice converse systems, or on line video games. The exact definition of bigcock exclusively, whether real-life masturbatory stimulation needs to be happening for the on the internet adult action in order to count as bigcock is up for controversy. Bigcock might also be accomplished thru using avatars in a consumer software application setting. Text-based bigcock has been in method for many years, the raised recognition of webcams has actually increased the variety of internet companions using two-way video recording links in order to expose on their own to each other online-- giving the show of bigcock a much more aesthetic facet. There are actually a lot of prominent, commercial web cam internet sites that enable individuals to candidly masturbate on cam while others monitor them. Using identical websites, couples could also execute on cam for the enjoyment of others. Bigcock differs coming from phone lovemaking because it delivers a better diploma of privacy and also allows participants for fulfill companions much more easily. A deal of bigcock happens between partners who have actually merely encountered online. Unlike phone lovemaking, bigcock in converse areas is almost never industrial. Bigcock can be employed in order to write co-written initial fiction and also supporter myth through role-playing in third person, in online forums or societies generally recognized by name of a discussed desire. This could likewise be actually utilized to gain encounter for solo article writers who wish to write even more realistic intimacy scenes, through exchanging ideas. One technique in order to cam is a simulation of real intimacy, when participants make an effort to create the experience as near to reality as feasible, with individuals having turns creating detailed, intimately explicit flows. This could be taken into account a form of adult part play that makes it possible for the individuals to experience unique adult-related sensations as well as carry out adult-related studies they could not make an effort in truth. Amongst significant role gamers, cam might take place as component of a larger scheme-- the roles entailed could be actually fans or husband or wives. In scenarios such as this, individuals keying normally consider themselves different companies coming from the "people" participating in the adult-related acts, a great deal as the writer of a book commonly does not entirely pinpoint with his or her personalities. Due for this difference, such part users normally prefer the term "sensual play" as opposed to bigcock for define it. In real cam individuals typically continue to be in character throughout the entire lifestyle of the call, to include progressing into phone adult as a sort of improvisation, or, nearly, an efficiency craft. Normally these persons develop complex past records for their characters for create the imagination also far more daily life like, thereby the advancement of the term true camera. Bigcock gives numerous conveniences: Given that bigcock may satisfy some adult wishes without the danger of a social disease or even pregnancy, that is a literally protected technique for youths (like with young adults) in order to trying out adult notions as well as emotional states. Also, people with lasting illness could involve in bigcock as a means to safely and securely reach adult-related satisfaction without putting their companions in jeopardy. Bigcock permits real-life companions which are actually actually split up in order to continue for be actually intimately comfy. In geographically separated partnerships, it can work to endure the adult-related size of a partnership where the companions observe one another only rarely deal with in order to cope with. Likewise, that may allow partners to exercise complications that they possess in their lovemaking life that they experience uneasy bringing up or else. Bigcock allows adult exploration. This can easily make it easy for individuals for act out dreams which they will not act out (or probably might not perhaps even be genuinely achievable) in genuine way of life by means of role having fun due to bodily or social restrictions and prospective for misapplying. This makes less effort as well as less sources on the net compared to in reality in order to connect for a person like self or with whom a far more significant partnership is possible. Furthermore, bigcock enables flash adult engagements, along with swift reaction and gratification. Bigcock makes it possible for each customer in order to have management. Each celebration possesses comprehensive control over the period of a cam lesson. Bigcock is often criticized due to the fact that the companions regularly have little bit of established know-how about one another. Because for several the main point of bigcock is the plausible simulation of adult endeavor, this knowledge is not often wanted or even required, and also might really be desirable. Personal privacy worries are actually a problem with bigcock, since attendees could log or even videotape the communication without the others knowledge, and possibly disclose this to others or even the masses. There is actually disagreement over whether bigcock is a kind of betrayal. While this does not include bodily call, doubters profess that the highly effective feelings consisted of may create marriage worry, especially when bigcock winds up in a net romance. In numerous recognized instances, world wide web infidelity ended up being the reasons for which a married couple divorced. Counselors state an increasing amount of individuals addicted to this endeavor, a kind of both on line addiction as well as adult drug addiction, with the regular concerns linked with addictive habits.

National Airspace System:
Summary of Flight Delay Trends for 34 Airports in the Continental United States (GAO-10-543SP, May 26, 2010), an E-supplement to GAO-10-542

This document is an e-supplement to GAO-10-542. It provides information on airline flight delays from calendar years 2000 through 2009 for the 34 airports identified in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Operational Evolution Partnership (OEP) program and located in the continental United States. These 34 airports serve major metropolitan areas and in 2008 handled over 70 percent of passengers in the system. According to FAA, many of the current delays of air traffic can be traced to inadequate capacity relative to demand at these airports. Within FAA's Aviation System Performance Metrics (ASPM) database, a flight is recorded as delayed if it departed or arrived at the gate 15 minutes or more past its scheduled gate departure or arrival time, which is shown in the airline's reservation system. Using FAA's ASPM data, we analyzed trends in the number of total and delayed arrivals and departures and average delay minutes per delayed arrival for each of these 34 OEP airports and as an average for these airports for calendar years 2000 through 2009. Using DOT's Airline Service Quality Performance (ASQP) data, we present the airline-reported sources of delay for delayed and canceled flights for each of these 34 OEP airports and as an average for these airports for calendar year 2009. Since FAA's ASPM data are not finalized until approximately 90 days after the end of the fiscal year, the data for the last 3 months of calendar year 2009 (October, November, and December) are current as of February 26, 2010, and are subject to change.

Alopecia, or hair loss, is a very common side effect of most forms of chemotherapy. Hair loss occurs as a result of the chemotherapy agents penetrating the hair follicle, causing the hair shaft to break at the root. Hair is lost not only from the head, but eyebrows, eyelashes, facial, and pubic hair are also lost. Depending on the age and sex of the child, this can be a very distressing side effect of chemotherapy. Younger children may not be bothered by hair loss, but the school-age child and teenager may be devastated.
Hair loss usually occurs one to three weeks into treatment, depending on the specific agents being given. Once the hair begins to fall out, it will continue to be lost in large clumps. The child may be bald within a few days. However, hair loss can be hard to predict. Some patients have it, and others do not, even when they take the same drugs.
Hair usually begins to grow about six weeks after completion of treatment. The hair may look different when it returns. The color or texture may be different than before treatment began.
There are several things you can do for your child when he or she is losing his or her hair. Younger children may not want to fuss with a wig or hats, while the more appearance-conscious child may want to consider these alternatives. Here are some tips to help you help your child:
Be aware that your child's scalp may feel very sensitive during this time.
Minimize hair washing to every other day instead of every day.
Wash hair with a gentle moisturizing shampoo.
Avoid harsh chemicals in the hair, such as coloring products.
Avoid using curling irons, blow dryers, or curlers.
You may want to consider a short hair cut before chemotherapy begins, to minimize the shock of hair loss.
Have your child pick out several hats or scarves before hair loss begins. He or she may even want to start wearing these items before hair is lost so that he or she is comfortable with them.
If your child wants to wear a wig, have him or her pick one out before treatment begins.
Use sunscreen, sunblock, or a hat to protect your child's scalp from the sun.
Reassure your child that his or her hair will return.

McCracken County Drug Arrest
Date of News Release: 10/08/2011
(Hickory, Ky.) -- Four area law enforcement agencies collaborated on Saturday, October 8, 2011, to complete an investigation into the trafficking of cocaine in the Paducah area. The Kentucky State Police, Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force, Marshall County Sheriff's Office, and McCracken County Sheriff's Department were all involved in the nearly two month long investigation.
The investigation revealed that Martin Acosta, of Chicago, Illinois, was transporting large amounts of cocaine across at least three different states.
On October 8, 2011, Acosta was delivering a large quantity of cocaine to Paducah, KY. Detectives from these agencies conducted surveillance on Acosta and a female that was with him at the time. They observed Acosta initializing the drug transaction and took him into custody without incident. The female that was in his vehicle, Llasmin Lopez, attempted to flee the area while holding her infant child. She was stopped and arrested by detectives.
Over ten ounces of cocaine, with a street value over $10,000, was located in the vehicle with Acosta when he was taken into custody.
The investigation showed that both Acosta and Lopez are illegal immigrants from Mexico. Acosta and Lopez were both lodged in the McCracken County Jail. Acosta was lodged under a Federal detainer.
The investigation is continuing by Detective Cory Jessup of the Kentucky State Police and more charges are expected.
- Martin Acosta, Chicago, IL
Held by a federal detainer
- Llasmin Lopez, Chicago, IL
Conspiracy to Traffic Controlled Substance 1st Degree 1st Offense (A class "D" felony, punishable by 1 - 5 years), Possession of Controlled Substance 1st degree 1st Offense, and Wanton Endangerment 2nd Degree.

Is This the Best Consumer Staple Stock to Buy?
Bob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Consumer staples stocks have a lot to offer investors. Their products are purchased no matter the prevailing economic conditions, which means stable financial results in good times and bad. One such company is Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL), whose namesake brands of toothpaste and soap can be found in millions of households across the globe.
After rallying nearly 20% to begin the year, Colgate-Palmolive has come off its recent highs. Does the stock now represent a buying opportunity? Or are there better consumer staples stocks out there?
Not the only game in town
As you can imagine, Colgate-Palmolive isn't the only consumer staples stock getting attention from the investing community. Industry juggernauts Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and Clorox (NYSE: CLX) compete with Colgate-Palmolive and share many of the qualities that make Colgate-Palmolive a great stock to own for the long-term.
Namely, each of these stocks rewards their investors with stable financial results, and in turn, dependable dividend payments every quarter. Each stock carries a dividend yield that bests the yield on the broader market. Whereas the S&P 500 Index yields roughly 2%, Clorox and Procter & Gamble yield 3.4% and 3.1%, respectively. Colgate-Palmolive's yield trails its two industry peers, at roughly 2.5% annualized.
Even better, each of these companies is famous for not only paying a strong quarterly dividend, but actually raising dividends on an annual basis.
Consider the track records of dividend excellence these companies hold. P&G recently increased its dividend by 7%. This year marks the 123rd in a row of consecutive dividend payments since the company's incorporation in 1890. Furthermore, P&G has increased its dividend for 57 years in a row.
P&G's competitors aren't far behind in that regard. Clorox recently gave its investors a healthy 11% pay raise. Clorox has an impressive dividend track record of its own: total annual dividends paid to Clorox shareholders have increased each year since 1977.
Colgate-Palmolive recently bumped up its shareholder payout by 10%. Colgate-Palmolive has paid uninterrupted dividends on its common stock since 1895 and increased payments to common shareholders every year for 51 years.
Companies can only maintain such impressive dividend track records by holding strong brands. To illustrate, P&G's flagship products include Gillette razors, Pampers diapers, Bounty paper towels, Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste, and Head and Shoulders shampoo.
Meanwhile, Clorox has many market-leading brands of its own. The company sells its products in more than 100 countries and has many household brands including its namesake bleach, Kingsford charcoal, Pine-Sol cleaner, and Glad trash bags. Nearly 90% of Clorox's brands hold the No. 1 or No. 2 market-share positions in their categories.
Stability comes with a high price
Even though Colgate-Palmolive has declined slightly after such an impressive rally, the stock still trades for 23 times trailing earnings. This multiple is higher than both the market's multiple and the multiple enjoyed by Colgate-Palmolive's competitors.
The S&P 500 Index holds a P/E multiple in the mid-teens, and even Clorox and P&G change hands for 19 times and 17 times trailing EPS, respectively.
Moreover, the argument can be made that Colgate-Palmolive's underlying growth doesn't support such a lofty valuation. Colgate's full-year 2012 revenue and diluted EPS grew 2% and 4%, respectively. It stands to reason that soap and toothpaste aren't exactly major growth industries, and as a result, investors need to decide whether they're willing to pay such a high premium for relatively modest growth.
While Colgate-Palmolive is a fantastic business, it trades for a significant premium to P&G and Clorox and offers a lower dividend yield for new investors. As a result, I'd wait for a meaningful pullback before jumping into Colgate-Palmolive shares.

Max Anstie's pursuit of racing fulltime in the United States has been deferred, but it does not limit the English racer from coming to the States each year for the first rounds of the Supercross season.
