regarding the debt ceiling deal
I've been trying to figure out the "triggers" designed to force Congress to act on SuperCongress recommendations and I think Jakke might be mistaken about this: "If Congress didn't adopt all the super panel recommendations, they'd have to send a balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification." That's what it says on slide 5 of Boehner's presentation, but it's countermanded by slide 7, which notes that automatic sequestration would allow the President to raise the debt ceiling by an additional $1.2T. My understanding:
- Initial debt ceiling hike is $900 billion, which gets us to February.
- A Joint Committee can recommend cuts of $1.5T+. If the recommendations are adopted, the debt ceiling is raised by an additional $1.5T.
- If the Joint Committee is deadlocked or the recommended cuts are not adopted, the House and Senate can pass the Balanced Buged Amendment (not merely consider it, but pass it, and send it to the states for ratification), in which case the debt ceiling is raised by an additional $1.5T. Given the balance of power in state legislatures, this is not a viable option.
- If neither Joint Committee recommendations nor the BBA are adopted, automatic sequestration of $1.2T (or the difference between adopted Joint Committee recommendations and $1.2T) takes place. The debt ceiling is then raised by 1.2T.
So it seems the second tranche of debt ceiling relief will be either $1.5T (in case of Joint Commission adoption or BBA passage) or $1.2T (in case of sequestration). I may be wrong.
You can read about it here, if you're so inclined. It's a big messy compromise with massive cuts and a two-stage debt ceiling hike and a cost-cutting super panel and triggers for huge spending cuts and a balanced budget amendment to the US Constitution. (I'm actually not sure that a deal that is to the right of the Republicans' initial bargaining position can be considered a compromise but apparently this is the only thing that both party leaderships could agree on.)
As far as I can tell, there are some really serious problems with this deal from a policy perspective:
- The budget cut triggers. If the super panel's recommendations weren't adopted in the spring, then this compromise would trigger massive spending cuts to defense, Medicare, and other big-ticket nondiscretionary areas. This is intended to guarantee Congress would consider the panel's recommendations seriously. Unfortunately, this basically never works; historically Congress passes new laws to get around politically unpopular cuts. So this attempt to foist the deficit issue off on a distant and separate panel would almost certainly be just as unsuccessful as every other deficit-fighting panel that the US Congress has created in the last few decades.
- The balanced budget amendment. If Congress didn't adopt all the super panel recommendations, they'd have to send a balanced budget amendment to the states for ratification. You'd probably think this has no chance of passing, as it would absolutely devastate the American federal government's ability to fight wars or recessions or natural disasters, but 74% of American adults polled last week supported such an amendment. That's a higher proportion than basically any other policy proposal - so this is actually something that states would likely consider and debate, and some would ratify, and it's something that would be a big part of political discourse in 2012 campaigning. This would be massively suboptimal.
- The US Treasury credit rating. This new deal might not be sufficient to prevent a downgrade of US credit by the big credit rating agencies. Specifically, since the deal (not including the panel recommendations) doesn't raise revenue and doesn't cut entitlement spending, and the process for raising the debt ceiling hasn't changed, it's relatively likely that at least S&P will downgrade the reliability of US government debt - because bondholders won't be guaranteed that this exact same thing won't happen again in the future. This would raise government borrowing costs by around $100 billion a year.
Despite all these problems, I'm going to say the odds that this passes are about 80%, because the alternative is seriously suboptimal. The most likely failure point would be in the House, where the Tea Party types are going to vote against anything and leftist Democrats probably won't want to be on record supporting this proposal. A filibuster in the Senate is possible, I guess, although that would be really effing malicious. (Or a personal hold, although I'm not sure if that would even be respected in this situation.)
If this passes, I'm guessing markets will gain a couple hundred points right away, and then (as real economists have noted) the US will see a sharp slowdown in growth and rise in unemployment as the cuts are implemented. Most likely the panel's recommendations will be somehow circumvented in the spring, and then things will go back to the status quo until the next debt ceiling fight.
If this doesn't pass then the debt ceiling doesn't get raised in time and the US Treasury runs out of cash. From there, things would go really poorly. I'm not sure if it would be like TARP, where Congress votes for something really unpopular in the face of market panic - there might need to be more negotiations, and I'm really not sure what that would look like in the context of government shutdown.

The Narciso Foundation Inc. (NFI) was organized for the original purpose of maintaining close ties among all family members who are direct descendants of Guillermo S. Narciso of Concepcion, Tarlac, thus enabling clan members to assist and support one another whenever necessary. NFI was officially incorporated last March 19, 1984, when its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws were filed and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Today, the NFI has more than 300 members, spread out all over the Philippines and in countries such as Japan, the U.S.A., Canada, the Middle East, etc.
Guillermo and his four brothers and two sisters were from Caluluan, Concepcion, Tarlac. His younger brothers and sisters were Julian, Gil, Teofista, Alejandro, Benita and Pablo. They were the children of Andres Narciso and Petra Salas, who were originally from a settlement now known as Magalang, Pampanga, and later migrated to the adjoining town of Concepcion, Tarlac, before Guillermo was born.
Guillermo married Apolonia Puno, daughter of Martin Puno and Monica Maglutac, who were originally from Bacolor, Pampanga. He had six children with Apolonia, namely: Efren, Andres, Constancia, Romulo, Paz and Praxedes. He then became widowed and subsequently married Maria Dungo, daughter of Telesforo Dungo and Miguela Gutierrez whose roots were from San Luis, Pampanga. He had four children with Maria, namely: Amparo, Arsenio, Luis and Zoilo (who died in infancy).
Of his children, Andres died while still in law school and Efren died in prime age (already working), both unmarried and with no children. The other seven children all eventually married and settled down to raise families of their own.
NFI Major Programs
The existing major programs were conceived not only to meet basic needs but also to express a caring attitude and articulate a family belief that education is the best means to improve one's status in life.
Hospitalization / Medical assistance
NFI members who are afflicted with major illnesses are provided with some assistance (up to a maximum of P10,000.00) to alleviate financial difficulties.
Educational Scholarships
NFI members of schooling age who are sufficiently but whose parents are short on funds may apply for scholarship grants subject to approval by the Board of Trustees.
Additionally, the NFI organizes the yearly family reunion to provide everybody with an opportunity for social interaction. This is usually held every December 30 during the Christmas season.

Hi there guys,
The year 2013 has been full of ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies, joys and sorrows. But despite all these, there are plenty of good reasons to look forward optimistically to 2014 and beyond. At this time, I don't know how to express Christmas greetings in a manner appropriate to this particular yuletide season. So I will instead borrow my favorite lines from a Paul Coelho book (Manuscript Found in Accra):
In the cycle of nature there is no such thing as victory or defeat; there is only movement. The winter struggles to reign supreme, but in the end is obliged to accept spring's victory, which brings with it flowers and happiness. The summer would like to make its warm days last forever, because it believes that warmth is good for the Earth. But, in the end, it has to accept the arrival of autumn, which will allow the Earth to rest . . . . .
And within that cycle there are neither winners nor losers; there are only stages that must be gone through. When the human heart understands this, it is free and able to accept difficult times without being deceived by moments of glory. . .
Losing a battle or losing everything we thought we possessed will bring us moments of sadness. But when those moments pass, we will discover the hidden strength that exists in each of us, a strength that will surprise us and increase our self-respect. . . ..
Only he who gives up is defeated. Everyone else is victorious.
Indeed, it has been a tough year. With the guidance of the Almighty, we all can overcome these trials and move on to much better times ahead.
With these thoughts in mind, let me wish all of you a blessed Christmas and a joyous New Year!

A.It was decided that the regular NFI reunion be scheduledevery two (2) years instead of every year as done before. This means that there isno NFI reunion for December 2013;the next one will be for 2014.
B.All other previous agreements will be maintained, such as:
1.the reunion will be always be onDecember 30except when the Arsenio cluster is co-hosting, in which case an alternative date will be discussed with the other co-host and announced to all NFI members in advance as to date, venue, time;
2.rotating co-hosting by five (5) clusters (Arsenio, Romulo, Luis, Carague, Ramos), with the Alday-Valencia clusters permanently paired to co-host the Concepcion venue every 3-4 turns (equivalent to 6-8 years); and
3.Metro Manila reunion site shouldpreferably be at the Philam Homes clubhouse, as started and thereafter traditionally continued by the late Tatang Seniong,except when there are compelling reasons to do it elsewhere (as was the case last December 2012).
C.In this regard, it was agreed that the followingopportunities or occasions for social inter-action will be availed of:
1.encourage more participation/communication thru the NFI website (www.myheritage.com);
2.more frequent small gatherings such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, binyag, fiestas, graduations, blow-outs, etc*;
3.get-together for lunch, meryenda, or dinner during short visits by balik-bayan or long-lost relatives; and
4.schedule more frequent NFI Board meetings.
D.It was also agreed, upon the reminder of NFI Treasurer Rose Bayot, that allpast-due accounts be paid right away. This will also pave the way fornew billings that are scheduled January 2014 for annual membership dues.
E.Dinah Lapus submitted the financial report on the December 2012 NFI reunion (co-hosted by the Carague and Romulo clusters) which showed, surprisingly, asurplus of P7,167.13 which was turned-over to the NFI Treasurer to bolster the NFI coffers. The Board took note of how said co-hosts avoided the usual annual deficit on the staging of this affair and commended the Carague and Romulo clusters for this feat.
F.For future planning purposes, the Board approved the suggestion that each cluster designate itsalternative representative (younger and full of energy, preferably from the next generation) to ensureattendance at all NFI Board meetings, assurecontinuity for future plans/programs, and to infusenewer/better ideas for NFI as a whole.
There being no further matters to take up, the Board meeting was adjourned at2:45PM.
Minutes taken by:
She was born, got baptized and grew up as Amelita Silva Rampola, with the Narciso family name appended to that in 1955 when she married Tiyo Seniong. Her nickname was either "Lita" if you are from the Rampola side or 'Mel" if you happen to be from the Narciso side. Friends, colleagues and acquaintances called her by whichever nickname suited their fancy. It didn't matter anyway since she was the same warm, kind and lovely lady regardless of which name you used.
I met Tiya Mel for the first time on the very day (in fact, on very occasion) she became a Narciso one fine summer day in 1955 when she exchanged "I do's" with Tiyo Seniong and both vowed to each other "till death do us part".
Because we (my parents, siblings and I) were residing in Butuan City, we never had the opportunity to meet Tiya Mel in person prior to said occasion. But that turned out to be unimportant because, based on informal comments, the emerging consensus was that she is an outstanding girl considering that:
· Tiyo Seniong (who was my Ninong) was known to be quite pihikan regarding relationships with girls, ready to remain an old bachelor if the right one didn't come along. And yet, she was able to inspire him into courting her and eventually proposing a life-long partnership.
· Despite Tiyo Seniong's conservative and no-nonsense nature, she successfully bridged their eleven-year age differential when she was yet at the fun-loving and carefree phase of her young life.
· As a law-abiding well-respected professor at UE, "Doc" A D Narciso was bound by a strict code of conduct. Uncharacteristically, he committed a major infraction by having a romantic relationship with his student. She must have been worth the grave risk of a professional censure and a public scandal!
In other words, without actually seeing her, we were already convinced that Tiyo Seniong's special someone is truly someone special.
After the wedding, I went back to Butuan City where I was pre-enrolled for the coming school year at Grade 5, elementary level. The next opportunity for meeting Tiya Mel came six years later (at this time, she was already a mom to two sons and a daughter) after I graduated from high school and moved to Manila to pursue a college education.
Being a young (15 years old) probinsyano who didn't know how to get around the big city, Tiyo Seniong invited me to stay with them at #2 South Maya Drive, Philam Homes, Quezon City. Instantly, Marichu was deprived of her private bedroom. That development, in turn, forced her to overcrowd the other bedroom occupied by Bobby and Gus. This of course was meant to be a temporary arrangement for the purpose of getting myself oriented to college life in a metropolitan setting. Thus, for this period, Tiyo Seniong and Tiya Mel were some kind of foster parents who provided guidance and mentoring on behalf of my own biological parents.
When enrollment time came, Tiya Mel volunteered to help me out, probably anticipating that hitches could unexpectedly arise along the way. Since my college application papers were previously submitted to UP-Diliman via registered mail, these had to be retrieved on account of a change in plans. Having accomplished that after a lengthy and diligent document search, we went to Ateneo-Loyola Heights to try our luck there. Tiya Mel and I were immediately greeted with the bad news: we were told that we came two weeks late for the required qualifiying exams, that no similar exams will be held again and that there was no way to gain admission without passing those exams. Refusing to accept the refusal, Tiya Mel pleaded my case without the belligerence of a lawyer but with the charm and persuasion of a caring parent. Upon overhearing the somewhat animated discussions, the Dean (Fr. Kunkel) intervened with a miracle of a decision – the entrance exams will be administered impromptu, i.e. right now, by the teachers who incidentally were present as they were still checking the testpapers of hundreds of applicants from two weeks ago. After three hours of gruelling tests, plus one hour for review and evaluation (including a quickie lunch), the second miracle happened when Fr. Kunkel told Tiya Mel that I was eligible for enrollment to "the toughest course in the toughest school in the land". We went home that day quite dazed from the surprising turn of events but nonetheless feeling triumphant about it all. I thanked Tiya Mel for what she did on my behalf without revealing my creeping fears about the "toughest course" that I, in the euphoria of the moment, might have mistakenly agreed to take.
In my advancing years, as I reflect on past events, I have been increasingly convinced that my becoming an "accidental Atenean" was a major turning point in my life. And I remain thankful to Tiya Mel for the Jesuit education I obtained which culminated not only in a Bachelor's and a Master's degree but also led to a significant shift in my personal values. Looking back, particularly when I see Bobby, Gus, Tony and Rudy, I flatter myself with the thought that this "accidental Atenean" blazed the trail which convinced their parents to make them "intentional Ateneans" right from grade school thru high school and eventually to college.
As some of you know, Tiyo Seniong was my ninong. And that made Tiya Mel, de facto, my ninang. And since Tiyo Seniong was an actual and virtual ninong to hundreds of other people, Tiya Mel automatically became a ninang to them too. On this basis, it is not difficult to visualize how many grateful people are out there – with their own interesting stories to tell, individual memorable moments to cherish and personal feelings of gratitude to express. We've heard some of them in the past few evenings during the six-day wake for Tiya Mel, but I'm quite sure there are many more that we haven't known yet nor heard from.
To wind up, kindly allow me to make an observation regarding the amazing togetherness of Tiyo Seniong and Tiya Mel over the past 57 years. We've seen them as a couple everywhere – Sunday mass, social gatherings, socio-civic programs, business trips, visits to relatives, school events, family celebrations, etc. – always one with the other. There were just a few exceptions such as Tiyo Seniong's golf games where Tiya Mel was absent; and Tiya Mel's CWL activities where Tiyo Seniong as a rule can't participate. They seem to have been made specifically for each other, as near-perfect as any pair can be, like two halves of a whole who individually would feel incomplete if the other part was missing.
For this reason, when Tiyo Seniong passed away last year, we worried about how Tiya Mel would fare. The children and grandchildren can only do so much to fill the resultant void in her life. One could almost hear Karen Carpenter singing "I won't last a day without you". Although she did last longer than a day, she could do so only for some 200 days without her dear other half. Last December, she experienced her first Christmas without him. The loneliness or emptiness must have been very hard to bear, such that she didn't look forward anymore to Valentine's Day under the same circumstances.
And so, last February 6, perhaps (according to Rudy) with the intercession of her dear-departed baby Ma. Lourdes, Tiya Mel went back to the Lord and got reunited with Tiyo Seniong. Somehow, they put a new twist to the marital vow "till death do us part" because Tiya Mel's demise has in fact provided the means for them to be with each other once again.
In two days' time, we can imagine them together in their heavenly version of Valentine's Day. But then again, since they are now in a special place reserved exclusively for special people, with the grace of God, they can have their Valentine's Day every day forever and ever.
If we were writing a love story, theirs will have the classic end-line: and they lived happily ever after. For this particular one, we can even add emphatically: for all eternity, amen.
On behalf of the AD Narciso cluster, thank you to all who called or sent messages of condolences through text or e-mail, a special thank you to all those who visited during the wake, sent flowers, abuloy, food or mass cards, and a special special thank you to the priests who took time off to celebrate the masses during the wake funeral.
Below is an interesting recount by Rolly of his experiences during his childhood days of Kuya Ruming Valencia - the eldest of the 3rd generation members of the Guillermo Narciso clan. Kuya Ruming passed away peacefully last Dec 22, 2012 at the ripe age of 83.
His full name is Romeo Narciso Valencia, but he was usually addressed as Kuya Romy (in Tagalog) or Cong Ruming (in Pampango). I have always preferred to "blend" the latter two options in order to create a more universally recognizable name (particularly for the younger generations) because the Narciso network has long been geographically dispersed in Luzon, Mindanao and foreign lands (many are in California and Canada).
I actually first became aware of Kuya Ruming when I was around three years old when he frequently visited my parents (whom he called Tatang Sitong and Imang Nitang) at our residence in Manuguit Subdivision, Grace Park, Manila. Later on, I figured that he must have been taking electrical technical courses because he was trying to make his own radio unit (probably a school project) from assorted input materials that attracted my curiosity – multicolored wires, glass tubes, plugs and jacks, tiny signal lights, grey soldering wires, etc. While I was allowed to watch, as he elucidated with kiddie-talk explanations, I was forbidden from touching anything. This routine went on and off for a few months until, lo and behold, the radio unit was miraculously complete and actually functioning!
After those early encounters in Manila, I lost track of Kuya Ruming as my father moved the family to different places on his own search for a better life for all of us. But despite his non-presence, I'm quite sure that he kept in touch with my father because his name kept coming up every now and then at dinner-table conversations in Lopez (Quezon Province), Paco (Manila), Davao City and Butuan City (both in far-away Mindanao).
I was eight years old when we arrived in Butuan where I resumed my interrupted Grade 4 studies at Urios College. To supplement the family income (my father was then the regional manager for Great Pacific Life), my mother opened up a grocery store (Butuan Bay Enterprises). This was followed a year later by my father's takeover of a gas station (Mobil Oil). When my father eventually shifted his career from management to entrepreneurship by going into the logging business, he sort of adopted four of his nephews (one is actually a niece) to help him and my mother run these new ventures "in exchange" for support for living expenses and schooling costs. Deep down, I suspected that the bigger part of the deal was for my father (supposedly the sternest uncle in the clan) to give the three guys some guidance, counseling and discipline in their "delicate and dangerous" teen years. This was the era when rebellious behavior was coming to the fore thru movie idols such as Marlon Brando, James Dean and Fernando Poe Jr. with their leather jackets and tight-fitting low-waisted denim pants. I think the heretofore unheard-of term "juvenile delinquent" was coined to describe the wayward members of this particular generation.
And so, around 1956-1958, my cousins came marching in (Kuya Angel, Kuya Ruming Kuya Nardo, Ate Lily, in that order) to live with us at T. Calo St and later at La Revolucion St. Kuya Angel was assigned to the grocery store for his accounting and supervisory capabilities. On the other hand, Kuya Ruming was posted at the gas station where he immediately demonstrated his skills in automotive repair and maintenance. As his reputation spread, the operators of the city's for-hire vehicles (cars and jeeps) gravitated towards the gas station where the resident genius can diagnose and fix their automotive troubles in a jiffy. Because of this talent, he got sent occasionally to the logging camp upriver whenever the dozers and dumptrucks there needed urgent attention. What was amazing is that all these were attained without the benefit of a college diploma and despite his limited Bisaya vocabulary.
As an offshoot of successful results from the first service station, a second one was opened at the Agusan River catering this time to various watercrafts (e.g. tugboats, LCTs, speedboats, motorized bancas, etc). To help Kuya Ruming manage these operations, Kuya Nardo handled the administrative/financial aspects of the work.
At one time or another, all these guys became my "boss" on odd-jobs I was commanded to do (I also had to earn my keep) on weekends and school breaks. Additionally, they became my kuya-mentors on the social adjustments I had to undergo in the transition from being a kid to becoming an adolescent. Because Butuan was a frontier town with a macho environment, Ate Lily with her mahinhin manners was limited to light indoor chores and advised to concentrate on her studies. Somehow, she looked kinda young, quite fragile and a bit too proper for the Butuan of that time – supposedly an urban center but still manifesting the rough and tumble ways of a rural setting.
They each had individual strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and aspirations for the future. Kuya Ruming, in particular, made us aware of the technical side of things. For instance, he wasn't awed by the beauty of new car models but impressed by the engine under the hood. He wasn't amazed by the sleekness of the new speedboats in the river but preferred to monitor the fuel-efficiency of their outboard motors. He wouldn't even allow us to enjoy music as is, insisting instead on our appreciating the amplifier, the speakers, the quality of the recording and the high-fidelity sounds they produced. Thanks to him, we learned all these things long before the stereophonic system became the fad in the 1960s and 1970s.
He was so fascinated with high-performance machines that he grabbed the very first opportunity to acquire a huge (and terribly noisy) Harley Davidson motorcycle. This vehicle he rode with pride along city streets and provincial highways as a cowboy would do with a galloping horse. This motorbike was quite unusual for the place, being only the second such unit in the entire province (Agusan Norte and Sur were still together then), the first one being used by the top honcho of the Police Traffic Department. During city parades, these two guys atop their motorbikes were often seen at the lead of a long line of students from participating schools with their respective floats, bands or drum and bugle corps.
His preferred reading material was Popular Mechanics rather than Playboy Magazine that was fancied by others his age. His favorite long-playing record was that of martial music which blared out every afternoon from the big speakers he placed at the gas station located beside Rizal Park. While I was already familiar with Frank Sinatra and The Platters, I've never heard of Johnny Mathis until the day Kuya Ruming played his songs over and over again, to the point that we almost memorized the words of "Chances Are" and "It's Not For Me To Say". I wonder how many people still remember that Kuya Ruming was a virtuoso in playing the harmonica, and how he would spend time sitting at the balcony with his harmonicas (he used four of them simultaneously) as we got treated to an evening of latin tango or chacha music and European waltzes, overtures and rhapsodies.
Despite his height and physique, it was a disappointment that he didn't play basketball. However, he made up by becoming a superb bowling player who won awards, prizes and bets (including rounds of free beer) at the local bowling lanes.
Upon my high school graduation, I moved to Manila and visited Butuan rather infrequently. After college and post-graduate studies, I got even busier launching my own career that included foreign assignments. That's when I lost track again of Kuya Ruming and the rest of my Butuan mentors, although I was fully aware that Kuya Angel and Kuya Nardo migrated to California and that Ate Lily became a nun.
When my parents and my siblings transfered back to Manila in 1963-1964, I was told that they left the gas station business permanently in Kuya Ruming's hands to keep him productively pre-occupied with something that is pretty much in his sphere of interest. I further understand that Kuya Ruming decided to replant his roots in Butuan by getting married to a local lass (Ate Conching) and began raising his own brood (Vivian, Rodel, Robert, Romeo Jr., Rosabelle, Rowena and Rochelle). As the kids matured, most of them got married and, in turn, provided grandchildren who gave him immense joy which presumably made him feel young once more and ready to live life all over again.
Although he opted to stay behind in far-away Mindanao, he never forgot that he originated from Concepcion, Tarlac, as the eldest offspring of Tatang Temyong and Indang Pacing – both of them known in family circles for their low-key and mild-mannered ways. Kuya Ruming is likewise the first grandson of Guillermo Narciso (the patriarch of the Narciso clan) and Apolonia Puno of Pampanga, and such chronological fact entitled him to be addressed as "Kuya" or "Cong" depending on which dialect was used.
Last December 18, 2012, after a well-lived life that spanned eighty-three (83) years, Kuya Ruming went back to the Lord. His passing also enabled him to rejoin beloved family members and friends who have already gone ahead into the next life. We wish him a happy journey towards his new home of eternal peace and contentment. With his interment in Butuan on December 22, he has symbolically completed the replanting of his roots in the city that he learned to love and where succeeding generations of Valencias can sprout, grow and blossom in their own chosen way as they each carry out their individual missions in life. And, as they do, their Papa Romy will be caringly watching and guiding. . . . . . . . . . even if he now does so from a great distance.
As for me, all I can say is: Thank you, Kuya Ruming, for being among the early mentors in my life. Thank you likewise for the technical lectures and the music-appreciation lessons. And, now that you've also gone ahead, thank you too for the pleasant memories that will be left behind.

TO all NFI website members:
I have received feedback that our website, particularly the family tree, is not updated. Families have grown - either through births or marriages. Some family members have passed on. Profile pics in the family tree no longer look like the person being profiled.
The goal of the NFI website is to allow all clan members to keep in touch with each other, especially since we are scattered all over the world. You can do this by contributing articles - announcements, new births, family developments, etc., or posting pics/photo albums.
The family tree, by design, can only be updated by the website administrator (yours truly). So if you want to add a family member to your branch in the family tree, post developments about an existing member (e.g. change of address, obituary announcement, etc.) or change any profile pic, just send the info (along with any attachment) to my e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.com. I will make sure t...
Romeo "Ruming" N. Valencia of the Valencia cluster passed away on Dec 18, 2012 at around 3:37 pm and will be buried on Saturday, Dec 22, after the 1 pm funeral mass at St. Joseph Cathedral in Butuan City.
Ruming was the oldest among the 3rd generation members of the Guillermo Narciso clan.
According to his daughter, Rochelle, one of Ruming's wishes in his old age was to see his relatives again. He longed to go back to Concepcion but his health prevented him from doing so. Now that he has crossed to the Great Beyond, he'll be free to go where his heart desires. Concepcion will certainly be one of them.
We join his family in their bereavement and we pray for Ruming's eternal peace and for comfort and strength for the loved ones he left behind.
Attached is a letter of invitation from Freddie Alday, Jr. regarding this year's Guillermo Narciso clan reunion which will be held in Concepcion, Tarlac, on 30 December 2011. Hosts for this year's affair are the Alday and Valencia clusters.
We hope to see you there!
Wishing you all a safe and blessed Christmas season!!
This year's Narciso clan reunion shall be held on Friday, December 30, 2011, at Orchard Valley in Concepcion, Tarlac. Hosts for this year's reunion are the Alday and Valencia clusters.
Please stay tuned for subsequent details from the host clusters.

1978 Subaru DL Wagon 4WD; It has an EA-71 engine (maybe 1600cc but I think it's the 1400cc), 4-speed manual transmission. It has later model brat rims and studded snow tires, but it also comes with an extra set of street tires. This car is almost all original except for rims, front bucket seats, and weather stripping, but it comes with loads of extra parts. Extras include another EA-71 engine (1400cc), another set of heads, clutch parts, alternator, water pump, and other misc parts. This would be an great vintage restoration project, and would be an awesome car when up and running. We love our '76 wagon, and it's super simple to work on. Anyway, if you're interested please send an email (email@example.com). Thank you!

Lyfe-cycle effects on household expenditures: A latent-variable approach
AbstractUsing data from the Spanish household budget survey, we investigate life- cycle effects on several product expenditures. A latent-variable model approach is adopted to evaluate the impact of income on expenditures, controlling for the number of members in the family. Two latent factors underlying repeated measures of monetary and non-monetary income are used as explanatory variables in the expenditure regression equations, thus avoiding possible bias associated to the measurement error in income. The proposed methodology also takes care of the case in which product expenditures exhibit a pattern of infrequent purchases. Multiple-group analysis is used to assess the variation of key parameters of the model across various household life-cycle typologies. The analysis discloses significant life-cycle effects on the mean levels of expenditures; it also detects significant life-cycle effects on the way expenditures are affected by income and family size. Asymptotic robust methods are used to account for possible non-normality of the data.

1. Georgia's A.J. Green will miss the first third of this season due to an NCAA suspension then, in all likelihood, leave for NFL riches at the end of the year. So one would think elite receivers would be beating down the door to succeed Green in Athens. But, to date, that hasn't been the case. The Bulldogs currently have three wideouts committed in the Class of 2011, but none of the ilk of Green, who was the top receiver prospect in the South when he left Summerville, S.C. Green's absence brings to the forefront the relative dearth of wide receiver talent lining up to succeed him.
Georgia thought it addressed Green's successor last year with the recruitment of Da'Rick Rogers, a five-star wide receiver from Calhoun and the state's top overall prospect. But after being committed to the Bulldogs for eight months, Rogers pulled an 11th-hour reversal and signed with Tennessee. That put Georgia in a bind. It came up short on five-star targets Christian Green of Tampa and Chris Dunkley of Pahokee and signed only two wideouts in the class: three-star prospect Michael Bennett of Alpharetta and two-star prospect Lonnie Outlaw, who had to start in junior college.
This season, Georgia has landed a commitment from North Paulding's Chris Conley (6-3, 185), an AJC Super 11 selection and the top player in the state at the position. He's joined by three-star prospects Justin Scott-Wesley (6-1, 210) of Mitchell County and Zach Witchett (6-0, 185) of Booker T. Washington. But so far, the Dogs haven't been able to convince any blue-chippers to come their way. Five-star recruit Charone Peake of Spartanburg, S.C., committed to Clemson this summer, they've fallen far behind Miami and Clemson for five-star target Sammy Watkins of Fort Myers, and four-star target Rashad Greene of Ft. Lauderdale committed to FSU.
It would appear the Dogs remain in the market for at least two more wideouts in this class. A couple they have their sights on are Tobias Singleton (6-2, 200) of Madison, Miss., and Ty Montgomery (6-1, 202), a Stanford commitment from Dallas, Texas, who plans to visit UGA sometime this season. The top uncommitted wideouts in the state include Cedar Grove's Vincent Dallas (5-11, 185) and Johnson County's Zack Walker (6-1, 185). Georgia could also try to sway away Sandy Creek's Alex Chisum (6-2, 185) from his Cincinnati commitment. They might also consider Valdosta defensive back prospect Malcolm Mitchell for offense. Mitchell has stood out for the Wildcats as a receiver.
2. Meanwhile, the cupboard is not completely bare of wide receiver talent in Athens. Marlon Brown, a five-star recruit out of Memphis, has been coming on in his sophomore season, according to coach Mark Richt. And Kris Durham, Tavarres King, Rantavious Wooten and Israel Troupe offer the Bulldogs viable alternatives. But considering Durham (24-334) is the second-most productive receiver behind Green (109-1,772), it's evident the position needs to be addressed in both quality and quantity through recruiting.
3. A couple of major talents are expected to be in Columbia, S.C., for the Georgia-South Carolina game. Five-star offensive line prospect Brandon Shell (6-7, 310) of Goose Creek, S.C., plans to be in attendance but has to take the ACT Saturday morning, according to PalmettoSports. Shell, the nephew of former NFL head coach Art Shell, is trying to decide between Georgia and the Gamecocks. Meanwhile, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney – considered the No. 1 overall prospect in America by Rivals.com — will also be at the game. Clowney (6-6, 240) once considered Georgia but now is thought to be leaning toward South Carolina and Alabama.
4. Norcross DT Ben Bradley (6-2, 270) committed to West Virginia on Wednesday, according to 247Sports.com. Bradley, who gets two stars from Scout but is not rated by Rivals, is the Mountaineers' 13th commitment. He chose them over N.C. State and UCF.
5. Geno Smith of St. Pius, considered one of the top junior defensive backs in the state, told me Wednesday he received a scholarship offer from Vanderbilt. That's No. 6 for Smith (5-11, 170), who also has offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Louisville and Virginia Tech.
6. I've been studying up for Friday night's Channel 2 Sports Zone Game of the Week between McEachern and Marietta and I was taken aback by the number of legitimate college prospects the Indians have. Tight end Rory Anderson (6-5, 212) is probably the best known prospect for McEachern, but there are several others, including LB Jefferson Ashiru (6-2, 215), WR Chris Davis (5-10, 170), WR Amba Etta-Tawo (6-2, 173), OT Xavier Hemingway (6-4, 258), RB Chris Nwagbara (5-10, 177), DE Chris Okpala (6-1, 225), QB/ATH Dondre Purnell (5-10, 178), LB Marquis Roberts (6-0, 205) and RB Zarold Wilder (5-7, 188). It's no wonder they're ranked No. 5 in Class AAAAA.
7. In the end, Florida did not end up playing 16 true freshmen in its opener against Miami-Ohio last weekend as was predicted. One of the newbies expected to get playing time was Lithonia running back Mack Brown. But Brown, an AJC Super 11 selection from M.L. King High, ended up staying on the bench as the Gators' offense struggled like it hasn't in years against a team that went 1-11 a year ago. True freshmen that were impressive included S Matt Elam, DT Sharrif Floyd,and DE Ronald Powell, according to this update at GatorSports.com.
8. Speaking of the Gators, early video highlights of Florida commitment Jeff Driskel, a quarterback from Oviedo, Fla., have UF fans already drawing comparisons to Tim Tebow, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Driskel (6-4, 225) is also a big quarterback and doesn't mind lowering his head for yardage. Pretty good arm, too, from what I can tell. See for yourself.
9. There's a really good story out of Knoxville on how new Tennessee coach Derek Dooley requires assistants to put down in writing their thoughts and observations on a recruit before deciding to offer them a scholarship. He said he believes they need accountability when they miss on their evaluations and try to figure out where they went wrong.
10. THIS & THAT: The obscene gesture and helmet toss by Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., tight end Nick O'Leary — Jack Nicklaus' grandson — resulted in a two-game suspension from Dwyer High School. . . . Three freshmen stood out for Georgia Tech in its opener against South Carolina State last Saturday: RB B.J. Bostic (5 carries, 30 yards), S Isaiah Johnson (4 tackles, 1 for loss) and LB Jeremian Attaochu (one tackle). . . . OL Trenton Brown (6-7, 310) of Albany-Westover added a scholarship offer from Western Kentucky to one he already had from East Carolina, according to Scout.com's Chad Simmons. . . . ESPN's Jamie Newberg reports that North Carolina commitments are beginning to get anxious about the Tar Heels' dealings with the NCAA.

Look, it's never a bad thing to have a receiver like A.J. Green on ANY team. But UGA needs to get back to a Run First team. We have Caleb and Washaun for this season and next, and from the looks of it, Isiah Crowell coming in after that.
We do not NEED a 5 star receiver, more like receivers who are good enoughto establish them as a threat, but not the go-to guy.

Dawg House – you are very wrong. Georgia does need good receivers like AJ and other 5 star receivers to come to UGA. If you don't have them then you don't get the great QBs either. Then you don't get the great Tide Ends. They work in tandem and you need to have a the best quality players in every position that you can get. Period.
Your thoughts would work in the Big Ten and not the SEC.

10:51 am
Here is the deal… Having an A.J. Green on the team is a great asset and can create an uneven matchup for a DB or 2. But wouldn't you take 2 or 3 above average wide receivers over 1 superstar, for the simple reason that you can't double team 2 or 3 WR's. Another reason is the instance going on in Athens right now, people rely on that one game changer to show up and when he isn't healthy or is ineligible the fans begin doubting the TEAM. Does anybody remember UGA having a superstar wide receiver when they won either SEC championship this decade? Neither Do I…they were a TEAM.

it's hard to recruit some HS receiver like AJ- big shoes to fill. IMO, Brown/Gray/King/Durham will have a great season. Conley should be a great addition next year but still need a few more WRs.

Why is it that everybody is acting like we haven't played without A.J. before? As for Driskell he has the talent and the arm but he is like Garcia and will just throw the ball up for grabs if you get him in trouble.

What about Marshall, they recuited who is a HS QB, he can play receiver, also the WR you named that committed to UGA are pretty good, I thought Chris Conley was a big time commit.

Who is the ALL TIME receiver at UGA? It ain't AJ Green, gang. It is Terrence Edwards gang. He was probaly a 3 star QB in HS and his Bro Robert Edwards was probably a 3 star Line backer too. He was a great running back AFTER Goff moved him out of desperation.
Terrence Edwards was a fabulous receiver except for that drop in the Florida game where he was in full stride, on the 35 or 40, heading toward the corner goal and he muffed it. Easy catch it was.
My point? He was great ………… and I am sure that to compete at a high level in SEC we can get about 2 or three good uns per year ……like the now QB at Wilcox County ………coming to UGA. We also have Wooten and King and Marvelous Marlon Brown, Israel Troupe and Kris Durden and Mike Bennett. UGA is set ………..so coach em up Bobo and Ball.
All this 5 star crap is so over rated.
Go Dogs.

The United Nations World Food Programme calls for the immediate release of Mr. Idris Osman, WFP's officer-in-charge of our Mogadishu office, who was taken at gunpoint by the Somali National Security Service (NSS) after the storming of a UN compound in Mogadishu this morning at 0815 local time by 50-60 heavily armed and uniformed members of the NSS.
Mr. Osman is being held in a cell at NSS headquarters near the presidential palace. WFP has not received any explanation for this action, which violates international law. International law also bars authorities from entering UN premises without prior UN permission.
No shots were fired during the storming of the UN compound. WFP on Monday started providing food assistance to 75,600 people in Mogadishu through 42 mosques identified by the office of the Governor of Bendir Region. This is the first distribution of WFP food in Mogadishu since June 25th.
In the light of Mr. Osman's detention and in view of WFP's duty to safeguard its staff, WFP is forced immediately to suspend these distributions and the loading of WFP food from our warehouses in the Somali capital.

Deadly. Off. Topic. said...
I need to add that people who are helpful and don't ask for the position are approached and asked if they want to be an officer. In addition to that, they have the choice to turn it down. They don't have to take it.
But lets think about this. At least the person asked is 1. appreciated 2. realizes that what he does in the guild is noticed. And if they accept the position, well then, you have someone who is going to get the work done.
The person who demands the position and gets it.. What does that person learn? If you yell loud enough you get handed everything. Now that would make me resentful. If anyone walked along and said, "Hey give me give me give me," and was given the position, I would be angry.

Nashua police officer's hearing loss can't slow him down
"At first it just seemed like I had some water or bubbling in my ear, and I was given an antihistamine and told it would get better," said Molinari.
Months later the ear problem persisted and had also extended to his other ear, prompting Molinari to seek advice from multiple experts.
"Everyone I talked to said I was too young to be having hearing issues, but one doctor finally noticed that was the actual problem," he said.
Now, at the age of 47, the city police sergeant has finally found a hearing device that works well for his job and has helped him overcome his hearing challenges.
Molinari says he has been lucky, and the hearing loss in both his ears hasn't affected his policing abilities thanks to the helpful devices he calls earbuds.
Now, Molinari is being recognized as one of 12 finalists in the running for the Oticon Focus on People Awards, a national program that honors hearing-impaired students, adults and advocacy volunteers who have demonstrated through their accomplishments that hearing loss does not limit a person's ability to make a difference in their families, communities and the world, according to a release.
"Joe was determined to show that addressing his hearing loss would strengthen his ability to serve the community and his fellow officers. In a profession where physical and emotional strength is respected and necessary, Joe said he was terrified of walking into the locker room for the first time with hearing instruments," says Molinari's story posted on Oticon's website.
It goes on to say that the hearing devices made an immediate difference, as shortly thereafter he was able to hear a passing motorist yell to him across heavy traffic, alerting him to a motor vehicle accident and unresponsive driver.
Molinari, who has worked for the city police force since 1994, said he likely would not have heard the screams without the hearing instruments, and as a result, he was able to revive the injured driver.
Molinari said last week that he experimented with numerous ear pieces before finding what works for him, explaining people in his situation often get very frustrated with the process, the doctors and equipment.
He credits a new audiologist in Lawrence, Mass., for helping him overcome his reservations and fears about his hearing loss. Now, Molinari is embracing his hearing impairment and empowering local children to do the same. The police sergeant has helped coach youth lacrosse and basketball, where one of his players also uses hearing aids.
"I was so glad to have that kid on my team, because I really get it," said Molinari. "I knew that I had to look him in the face and make eye contact with him when I was coaching, and I knew how to explain the situation to his teammates as well. It is amazing how short-sighted people can be if they are not educated."
Molinari is inspiring others with hearing loss to make the most of their challenges and overcome the hardships.
"By spotlighting people with hearing loss and their contributions, Oticon aims to change outdated stereotypes that discourage people from seeking professional help for their hearing loss," says the release from Oticon.
The public is encouraged to vote on Oticon's website for their favorite candidates, including Molinari, who is one of three adult finalists. Overall, there are 12 finalists in the running.
Top winners in all categories will receive a $1,000 award in addition to a $1,000 donation to the nonprofit group of their choice.
Voting is open until March 31 at www.oticonusa.com.
Winners will be announced next month.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a parent with two children in this school. I sincerely believe the teachers are very caring and dedicated. The principal too has a listening ear. One basic thing I love about the school is the evaluation system. You can rely on the results on the report cards as the truth. I am happy my two children have been doing very well in Maths, Reading, Science.Also there is healthy rivalry created in First in Maths. This has reassured me that this Computer Magnet School is one of the best around. Far better than the Charter School. Thank you.
I went to this school from K-6, and am now in 11th grade at the highschool. While I was there, I really liked it. I was able to be in the AT program, although I had to be bused to Park Lane. The sixth grade practiced switching classes, like in junior high and did a good job preparing me for the junior high. I was learning how to work computers since kindergarten, and had music and art classes. There used to be a TV news program, but I don't know if that is still there.

Will Butler is hoping to contribute his talents to a new movie project. The Arcade Fire multi-intrumentalist has promised to help create the score for a short film, provided that the film's writer, Jeff Newberg , can raise enough money for the production. Titled Home Burial , the film is an adaptation of the Robert Frost poem of the same name, in which a husband and wife have an argument about grieving a loss.
"The music for the short film will hopefully evoke Robert Frost -- formal but conversational; embedded in the early 20th century but still relevant," said Butler in a statement. "Darker than you might expect. [Composer Béla ] Bartók meets John Carpenter ."
Newberg has posted a video about the production on Indiegogo.com , a website where people can pledge money for creative projects. The fundraiser for the film will end on November 13, with Newberg hoping to raise $10,000 by then.
For a $50 pledge, you'll receive a print and digital copy of the Home Burial poster signed by the movie's cast and crew, as well as an official "thank you" in the film's credits. The incentives become greater the more you pledge, right on up to becoming an executive producer, where you'll get to hang out with the crew at the official wrap party and get tickets to all festival and other future screenings of the film.

This book review was originally published in the American Prospect, and is republished here with permission.
Even granting that testifying to congressional committees is not on the list of an oil CEO's favorite things to do, when ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond, known to his employees as "Iron Ass," arrived at the Dirksen Senate Office building one morning in November 2005, he was in an especially reticent mood. Among other things, the Senate Energy Committee wanted to know about the corporation's role in formulating policy with Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force. Raymond – who was chummy with Cheney and seven weeks away from his retirement, after 12 spectacularly profitable years at the helm first of Exxon and then Exxon-Mobil – did not think the committee needed to know. Thus when New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg asked Raymond whether he or any ExxonMobil executives participated in a 2001 meeting with Cheney, Raymond responded with a single syllable: "No."
The truth of that statement was something only a lawyer or a comedian could love, but it was consistent with how the company prefers to be seen: independent, apolitical, above the muck of any particular political fight. Yet as Steve Coll documents in his groundbreaking investigation, Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power, sometimes even the aloof need a little assistance. Just days before the hearing, the company had found itself frustrated with the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which seemed to be stalling on giving ExxonMobil its slice of a hugely valuable 50-billion-barrel oil field. The State Department did not seem to be pressing ExxonMobil's case as hard as Raymond wanted, so he called Cheney and asked, according to Coll's paraphrase, "What in the hell is with this country?" Cheney called the UAE government himself, and ExxonMobil got what it wanted.
Coll gained a unique perspective on the history of ExxonMobil's power from his two-plus decades covering business and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Middle East politics, and national security – early on for The Washington Post, in recent years for The New Yorker, and most notably in Ghost Wars, his book on Afghanistan and the CIA. He approaches the company almost as if reporting on the State Department, finding a sprawling global network led by insular executives often unaware of what is being carried out in their name. At the heart lies a contradiction best illustrated by Raymond's duplicity. The corporation long ago decided it was best to flex its immense muscle as discreetly as possible, because almost all publicity – whether it's news of gas prices, climate change, or congressional fights over industry subsidies – is bad.
Indeed, ExxonMobil may have reached the point of being more powerful and entangled than any government. The company's leaders look at an untapped oil or gas field as a relationship that might last a half-century or more; during that time, politicians and policies will come and go even in settled democracies. Its perspective is so geological, so Olympian, that it has been willing to anger sitting American governments – as in 1997, when Raymond, a Republican, challenged the Democratic administration's policy with a speech in Beijing urging China's communist rulers not to sign the Kyoto Protocol climate agreement. At the same time, because so much oil and natural gas is locked up in places with unstable regimes or unsavory leaders – from Equatorial Guinea to Indonesia to Russia – ExxonMobil often finds itself with more power to affect the local society than the best-intentioned State Department functionaries. In a nail-biting chapter on a showdown between the World Bank and the besieged government of Chad, Coll writes that "Exxon-Mobil had made its own choice clear: It was more interested in the survival of Chad's oil production than it was in the World Bank's experiment in nation building."

Hawk-Eye At Goodison
Goal-line technology will be in place at Goodison next season.
Goodison Park will house goal-line technology next season after a Premier League vote.
All 20 clubs met on Thursday with the vote meaning the Hawk-Eye system will be employed by top tier clubs from 2013/14.
The technology is already used in cricket and tennis.
It means the goals at Goodison will be monitored by seven cameras each, with a near-instant notification sent to match officials if the ball crosses the line.
Earlier this season Everton's Victor Anichebe was denied what appeared to be a legitimate goal at home to Newcastle when officials decided his effort hadn't crossed the line.
Evertonians have only until Friday 19 April to save up to £96.63 on their seat for next term by committing to buy before the Early Bird window slams shut.
But supporters don't have to pay up all at once.
Our Direct Debit scheme allows fans to split the cost of their seat in four - with only the first of the four payments due in April.
All supporters over the age of 18 who hold a valid bank or building society account and are resident in the UK are eligible to apply.
It's easy too.
Simply apply for your Season Ticket online in the usual way, filling in the relevant Direct Debit sections when prompted to complete your purchase.
Alternatively, complete the Direct Debit section within the Season Ticket application form and return it to the Box Office at Everton Two, Liverpool One or Goodison Park.
But don't forget, the only way to take advantage of our biggest discounts on Season Tickets - and make a saving equivalent to two-and-a-half Premier League games* - to is to commit to buy before the 19 April deadline.
So why delay?
For a full list of prices, payment options and answers to a range of Season Ticket-related questions, or to buy your 2013/14 Season Ticket online, click here.
If you are in Liverpool city centre, it is also possible to purchase your Season Ticket and take advantage of the Early Bird discount at the Everton Two store in Liverpool One. The ticket facility at Everton Two is open 9.30am-7pm from Monday to Friday, 9am-7pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday.
Also, don't forget fans under the age of 11 are eligible for a bargain £95 Season Ticket, while Under-16s have also seen Season Ticket prices frozen across the stadium. For more information or to buy, click here.
*Saving based on purchasing a returners adult Park End Season Ticket before the Early Bird Deadline at £579.75. Non-Early Bird returners adult price £676.38.
