A scary mommy moment
But the real big scary mommy moments are still very fresh in my mind.
Last year, when we were on vacation in Florida, my mom took Dimitry, who was 6 months old at the time, up to the hotel room for a nap.
My parents had a connecting room to ours, which was great, because in the mornings as we were trying to get ready, we could open the doors connecting our rooms, and the boys could walk back and forth between the two rooms, letting us getting ready.
Anyway, I went up to our room, to see if my mom wanted to go back down to swim with Christos. I did not have the key to her room, so I went through my room, and opened the connecting door. I knocked. She opened her door. She walked into my room. And then, all we heard was the loud sound of the door shutting behind her. As you know, if someone else's adjoining door closes, you can't open it from your side.
We ran out, found one of the cleaners, and begged her to let us into my mom's room.
"Please, can you open this door? My key is inside the room - along with a sleeping 6 month old baby!"
Well, this lady was so concerned, she started to cry... and proceeded to open the door. Only, of course, my mom had the chain on the door! Meaning - we could not get in the room!
I was hysterical. I was having the worst possible visions of my 6 month old son waking up, and rolling off the bed, onto the corner of the night table, crashing his skull into the side of the table. Or, worse - what if he somehow managed to make it to the balcony door, and fall down 19 stories? What if he woke up, and started crying for us?
I did not know what to do. My mom was just as worried. I was swearing, pacing, yelling and crying, all at once. Someone else came to help. He started trying to open the door with a piece of paper.
I was mad, yelling at him that he did not know what he was doing, so I decided to run downstairs, (I am pretty sure I took the elevator) and I went to the front desk, yelling at the top of my lungs:
The man at the front desk was way too calm for my liking. Why he did not start freaking out when he saw me in that state, I'll never know. Somehow, he got in touch with the man who was on our floor trying to get the door open. He was talking calmly. I started freaking out again:
"What are you waiting for? Do you realize he could die? He could roll off the bed at any second and seriously hurt himself, call the fire department of give me a saw or something! I have to break down the door!"
I'm not kidding. I was this hysterical. If I told you to call the hotel to verify this story, and this man answered the phone, he would surely remember the crazy lunatic girl in the pink bikini.
He hangs up the phone, and says to me:
"Ma'am, the door has been opened."
I did not even say thank you. I was very embarrassed. I ran to the elevators, and ran down the hall to the hotel room. My mom was inside, and baby Dimitry had just woken up... without a clue in the world what craziness had just occured. The nice cleaner was in the room, too, crying her eyes out. She was the sweetest lady ever. We hugged, and laughed. And then I hugged my baby boy and went downstairs to get a Pina Colada.
I really needed a drink.

So glad that he was fine and that he never even realized the chaos and trauma that was taking place around him!

Oh yes that would have been very scary. Although I am usually the calm (on the outside) person and my husband is the one who freaks out. We balance each other well :)

My heart is pumping after just reading this -- I would have been hysterical too! Thank goodness he was okay! I can't believe those hotel employees were so relaxed about the whole thing! They probably didn't have kids themselves.

I would have been right there with you... freaking out... and crying! And I don't blame you for having that Pina Colada! The whole thing reminds me of that episode in Friends where Ross and Rachel get locked out of the apartment and Emma is inside!
- July 21, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Boy, my heart was racing along with yours as I read this. I hate being in a position of having no control over a situation, especially when my kids are involved. And who cares that you were hysterical and others weren't, it wasn't their son locked in a room.
Glad all worked well and you were able to get your drink in the end :-)

Oh, I would have freaked out, too!
And, also would have gone and had a drink (or two)...how scary.

As you know, I can commiserate with you on this story!!! It's a horrible feeling, I know!

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Lemon Ricotta Spaghetti with Arugula
- Jenny
I am going to talk some more about ricotta. I can't help it. Remember in "Annie Hall" when Woody Allen tells Diane Keaton, "Love is too weak a word for what I feel -- I lurve you, you know, I loave you, I loff you?" (No? What's wrong with you? Are you that young? Just put it in your queue, okay?) Anyway, that is how I feel about ricotta.
This week's recipe, Lemon Ricotta Spaghetti with Arugula, was brought to you by Food52's Francesca Gilberti, she of the lovely thick hair and Harvard thesis about Elizabeth David, because I was so wiped out from weeks of long work hours I could not even think about picking a recipe. This one caught her fancy, and I was happy it did, because it was right up my alley.
Step one was making homemade ricotta, thanks to MrsWheelbarrow, who showed me how incredibly easy this is (here is a gold standard recipe by Jennifer Perillo, for whom my heart breaks with the rest of the food community this morning over the loss of her dear husband). Added bonus: you get the whey that melissav calls for here. I very much appreciated that she walked me through each step, even telling me when to wash the arugula, i.e. when the pasta water is boiling.
Because I used capellini (more on that in a minute), which I knew would cook more quickly than spaghetti, and because I am a dirty recipe cheat, I added the lemon zest to my garlic a little while after I got it cooking. Then, when the water was boiling, I added the ricotta, which I had to break up a bit with my wooden spoon. Later, the pasta went in as instructed, with the whey and the arugula.
Boy did those leaves cook down quickly!
In fact, I'd like to say a thing or two to you, miss fancy pants aromatic salad green: You cost a lot, even in the farmer's market. A whole lot of you reduces to very little; you are hard to divine. In short, you're the friend who spends the entirety of every lunch date telling me about your stupid boyfriend, and never picks up the check.
If someone has a substitute in mind for arugula for this recipe, go ahead and let us all know. Otherwise, be prepared to use a lot here. (Oh and do finish it with lemon juice and some nice salt. It matters. As do the red pepper flakes.)
My only complaint about this very lovely recipe is that I would like more ricotta-and-greens to pasta ratio. In part, this is because I am greedy. And no doubt, as my husband helpfully pointed out, the capellini was really too dense for this recipe. Next time, when my larder is full, I will make it with the pasta called for here. And add more cheese. And more arugula. And some fresh black pepper. Jenny's appetite knows no bounds.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Richard Roy,
v. Docket No. CR-06-590
Springfield Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Amy Laura Davidson, Esq.
Sandulli Grace, P.C.
One State Street, Suite 200
Boston, MA 02109
Appearance for Respondent:
Alfredo A. ViVenzio, Esq.
Scibelli & ViVenzio, P.C.
1120 Main Street
Springfield, MA 01103
Administrative Magistrate:
Sarah H. Luick, Esq.
Pursuant to G. L. c. 32, § 16(4), the Petitioner, Richard Roy, is appealing the August 30, 2006 decision of the Respondent, Springfield Retirement System, denying his request to purchase for creditable service his prior employment 1995-1999 with the Massachusetts Career Development Institute (MCDI) Alternative School. (Ex. 22) The appeal was timely filed. (Ex. 23) A hearing was held December 6, 2007, at the offices of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA), 98 North Washington Street, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02114, pursuant to G. L. c. 7, §4H.
Various documents are in evidence. (Exs. 1 - 26. Exhibit 26 was filed post-hearing and is Mr. Roy's social security summary statement as of June 27, 2007.) Two tapes were used. The parties entered into stipulations of fact and filed pre-hearing memoranda. ("A") Mr. Roy testified. The Springfield Retirement System presented the testimony of Barry Metayer who has been with MCDI from 1985. Both parties filed post hearing briefs by February 8, 2008.
1. Richard Roy, d.o.b. 10/29/49, was hired on October 30, 1995 as a full-time Instructor of Media Arts to work at the MCDI Alternative School. He did not hold a Massachusetts Department of Education (DOE) teacher certification, and did not need it for his job. ("A". Ex. 1. Testimony.)
2. At the time of his hire through at least 1999, the MCDI Alternative School was a stand-alone program of the Springfield School Department. It is now under the auspices of the City of Springfield Health and Human Services Department. ("A". Exs. 2 & 3. Testimony.)
3. During 1995-1999 and beyond, the MCDI Alternative School provided vocational education and training to public middle school and high school special needs students such as students with behavior or emotional issues, truant or CHINS students, and some Department of Youth Services students. No students who have attended the program have paid tuition of any kind. This has never been a residential program for any of the students. Mr. Roy was hired for the vocational education and training component of the MCDI Alternative School. Another component of MCDI has been "an adult education and vocational training institute … [serving] adult learners … in Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, Office System Technology, Culinary Arts, Computer Technology, Certified Nurse Assistants, Lead Paint and Asbestos Abatement, Sheet Metal and Welding, and Medical Administrators." The adult learners have never paid tuition. The reason for having both special needs public middle and high school students learning along with adults has been the hope that "adult learners could serve as role models and mentors to alternative school youth, while simultaneously providing vocational training to youngsters who were not likely to attend college." Mr. Roy set up "a multi-media center for alternative school youth …[creating] a 'studio-like setting' …. Mr. Roy was able to infuse computer literacy, journalism, speech and social awareness into his classes … [with] his students … reading, writing, speaking, learning, and enjoying themselves in a classroom setting, which was not the historical experience for most." (Exs. 3 & 19. Testimony.)
4. During 1995-1999 and for some time thereafter, MCDI was composed of two entities; the City of Springfield School Department and a non-profit corporation, MCDI, Inc. The two entities were intertwined and shared the same mission and work of operating the Alternative School. They shared employees. The nonprofit corporation served as a conduit to receive funds for the Alternative School program. This program was primarily federally funded, but with some state grants and grants from other private entities. The City of Springfield contracted with MCDI, Inc. which provided the building space for the Alternative School programs. Mr. Roy's supervisors were always City of Springfield employees. Some of the teachers at the Alternative School were City of Springfield employees. Mr. Roy was hired by the Executive Director of MCDI, Inc. who was a City of Springfield employee. All of MCDI, Inc.'s Executive Directors have been City of Springfield employees and members of the Springfield Retirement System. They were all appointed by the Mayor of Springfield. At the time of his hire, Mr. Roy was placed on the payroll of MCDI, Inc. and not on a City of Springfield payroll, but the plan at the time of his hire was to shift him onto the City payroll as soon as an opportunity to do so arose. ("A". Exs. 1 & 20. Testimony.)
5. Mr. Roy worked a regular ten month school year with middle and high school students. He had social security deductions taken from the pay he received from MCDI, Inc. until about November 1999. He was not given membership in the Springfield Retirement System between 1995-1999. He also worked during the summer months. For the summer work, he was paid from a City of Springfield payroll. He received two W-2 forms each year; one from the non-profit MCDI, Inc. and one from the City of Springfield. ("A". Exs. 9 & 24. Testimony.)
6. For each school year during the 1995-1999 time period, the Springfield School Department and MCDI, Inc. entered into a memorandum of agreement. The Springfield School Department agreed to pay MCDI, Inc. a rate per student per school year. MCDI, Inc. had to send the Springfield School Department periodic invoices to prompt payment of the costs for MCDI, Inc. The Springfield School Department was responsible "for transportation and other supportive services for the students." (Exs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 & 13.)
7. Mr. Roy's employment terms and conditions during 1995-1999 were set forth in a Personnel Policy Manual. The July 1996 Manual's information on Mr. Roy's terms and conditions of employment was accurate for this time period. The Manual did not distinguish by its terms between employees of the City of Springfield and employees of MCDI, Inc., but the teachers paid by the City of Springfield were subject to a collective bargaining agreement. The Manual addressed the non-union and non-City payroll employees. The Manual defined employee to include Mr. Roy's position of Instructor. His position was distinguished from a temporary employee who was someone "working on a short-term basis … not … entitled to any benefits …." (Ex. 4. Testimony.)
8. The July 1996 Personnel Policy Manual at page 12 under "RETIREMENT POLICY" contained the following provision:
Employees hired after January 1, 1985, and employed 20 hours or more MUST, as a condition of employment, join the City of Springfield Retirement System. Deductions will be determined by policy established by the City of Springfield Retirement Board. Deductions will be payroll deducted and will begin on the first day after the official date of hire. (Ex. 4)
Mr. Roy always worked full-time at the MCDI Alternative School, but this provision was not applied to him until in or around November 1999 when he went onto the City of Springfield payroll, stopped having social security deductions taken from his pay, and began regular retirement system deductions as a member of the Springfield Retirement System. ("A". Ex. 26. Testimony.)
9. If supplies were needed for his teaching, Mr. Roy had to secure them from a vendor approved by the City of Springfield. He could not use an outside vendor. The Massachusetts DOE considers the MCDI Alternative School to be a public school of the Commonwealth, and it has exercised its oversight jurisdiction over the Alternative School program. Each year, the MCDI Alternative School graduating high school students have received their high school diplomas along with the Springfield public high school students at the same graduation ceremony. The Alternative School students take the same standardized tests to graduate, the MCAS, as the regular public school students. (Exs. 3, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 & 18. Testimony.)
10. Once Mr. Roy was placed onto the City of Springfield payroll and became a member of the Springfield Retirement System, no changes of any kind occurred in his duties or in how the MCDI Alternative School operated. (Testimony)
11. In July 2000, the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) which was a program providing federal funding for employment and training programs, "was replaced by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA)." JTPA had always been a "major funding" source for the MCDI Alternative School. In order to continue to receive federal funding through WIA, some changes were proposed to the City of Springfield Auditor in July 2000 by Gerald A. Phillips, the Executive Director of MCDI, Inc. Mr. Phillips noted that WIA involved Individual Training Accounts (ITA), and that "for a WIA eligible student to attend one of the MCDI's training programs, that program must be on a Statewide approved list." He noted that four of the MCDI programs were "licensed and accredited" by the accrediting agency, ACCET. He explained that "municipal departments or programs cannot receive accreditation … [and] as a result, staff in these programs cannot receive City paychecks." Mr. Phillips proposed that MCDI "be allowed to transition twelve existing staff, currently on the MDCI/City payroll to a separate payroll through a payroll service, and, allow these staff to remain in the City retirement, health insurance, deferred income, and other benefit programs." (Ex. 25. Testimony.)
12. At the September 12, 2000 meeting of the Springfield Retirement System, a vote was taken to make the twelve employees of MCDI, Inc., the non-profit corporation, members of the Springfield Retirement System. (Ex. 21)
13. In September 2005, Mr. Roy's job was transferred to the Springfield School Department. Because he lacked Massachusetts DOE teacher certification, he obtained a waiver of this requirement from DOE in 2005 for his teaching work. His work at no time from 1995 and even after this transfer changed in any way. ("A". Testimony.)
14. As of June 27, 2007 Mr. Roy has sufficient social security quarters to qualify for social security benefits. (Ex. 26)
15. Mr. Roy sought to purchase his non-membership service between 1995 and 1999, and petitioned the Springfield Retirement System in and around July and August 2006. By letter of August 30, 2006, the Springfield Retirement System denied his request, and he timely appealed by letter of September 1, 2006. ("A". Exs. 22 & 23. Testimony.)
The issue in this appeal is whether or not Mr. Roy was an employee of a political subdivision or governmental unit or political unit of the Commonwealth between 1995 and 1999 when he was paid from the payroll of MCDI, Inc., and while he had social security deductions taken from his pay. The parties have briefed this issue. The key to resolving the issue is to examine the definitions in G. L. c. 32, § 1, and to review the pertinent case law. I conclude that because of the particular circumstances of this 1995-1999 employment, Mr. Roy was an employee who satisfied the prevailing tests for being a public employee under G. L. Chapter 32 so as to enable him to purchase that time for creditable service.
G. L. c. 32, §4(1)(d) states:
Any person who became or becomes an employee by reason of the taking over by the commonwealth, or by the metropolitan district commission or by any district, of any institution, or of any public or quasi-public enterprise, controlled and operated by a political subdivision of the commonwealth or by a corporation, … shall be credited with such service as would have been creditable service had it been rendered by him under the provisions of sections one to twenty-eight inclusive, or under corresponding provisions of earlier laws.
I conclude that between 1995-1999, Mr. Roy worked for a quasi-public enterprise that was controlled and operated by the City of Springfield. Mr. Roy worked in a public school. Massachusetts DOE had oversight jurisdiction over it. The only students Mr. Roy instructed were public school students, and no tuition paying students attended the MCDI Alternative School. The Alternative School high school graduates received their high school diplomas at the same time as the regular Springfield public high school graduates. The Alternative School students had to take the same tests, such as the MCAS, as the regular Springfield public school students. MCDI, Inc., a non-profit corporation, did not control and operate the school since all the employees involved in running the school, including every Executive Director of MCDI, Inc. during 1995-1999, was a City of Springfield employee, and every superior who supervised Mr. Roy was a City employee. The costs for each MCDI Alternative School student were reimbursed by the Springfield School Department to MCDI, Inc. through an annual contract arrangement. There was full intermingling of staff between those on the City payroll and those on the non-profit's payroll in terms of carrying out the Alternative School's program. When Mr. Roy was hired he was treated as the equivalent of a City of Springfield employee with the promise of transferring onto the City payroll once the opportunity for doing that arose. (See, Pellegrino v. Springfield Housing Authority, 69 Mass. App. Ct. 94 (2007) where the provisions of G. L. c. 32, § 91 were applied to a Springfield Retirement System retiree's continued employment with the Springfield Parking Authority since the Authority was found to be a "quasi public agency." Ms. Pellegrino was found to be earning money in excess of her permitted earnings under the Section 91 formula for a public employee retiree.)
G. L. c.32, §3(3) reads as follows in pertinent part:
[A]ny employee who, having or having had the right to become a member, failed to become or elected not to become a member, may apply for and be admitted to membership if under the maximum age for his group on the date of his application; provided, that during his present period of service he had previously been eligible for membership; and any employee who, having had the right to become a member of any retirement system … failed to become or elected not to become a member, may apply for and be admitted to membership if under the maximum age for his group on the date of his application. No employee shall otherwise be admitted to membership except by vote of the retirement board of the system for which application is made, and then only if that board finds that his failure to become or his election not to become a member was caused by circumstances other than those generally applicable to employees ….
Mr. Roy should have been permitted to gain membership in the Springfield Retirement System between 1995-1999. At all times from 1995-1999 before coming onto the City payroll, he worked for the City of Springfield's MCDI Alternative School, a public school, and was simply paid by the non-profit, MCDI, Inc. The findings show that MCDI, Inc. had no mission distinct from being part of the MCDI Alternative School. MCDI, Inc. received funds from federal, state, and private sources for the benefit of the Alternative School. This conclusion might not be supportable if: the Executive Director of MCDI, Inc. was a non-public employee; Mr. Roy was directly supervised by non-public employees; Mr. Roy worked only with non-public employees; or the MCDI Alternative School had private tuition paying middle and high school students. None of these alternative scenarios are pertinent. I do not conclude that the MCDI Alternative School, because it had the MCDI, Inc. component to it, was a private school teaching students who happened to have their tuition paid by the City of Springfield. Mr. Roy received regular compensation from a political subdivision, the City of Springfield, between 1995-1999. Regular compensation is defined in G. L. c. 32, §1 as "salary, wages or other compensation in whatever form, lawfully determined for the individual service of the employee by the employing authority." The need to pay him from the non-profit corporation's payroll had no impact on the fact that he was rendering service only for the City of Springfield. Perhaps there was not sufficient funding flowing from the Springfield School Department to the MCDI Alternative School so that use of the non-profit corporation's funds were used to pay him during this time period. There was no other purpose served by this non-profit than to benefit the MCDI Alternative School. His service satisfied the definition of employee in Section 1 since he was regularly employed in the service of the public school, the MCDI Alternative School. Employer is defined in Section 1 to cover a person, board, or commission having the power to employ persons as employees for the political subdivision. Because he was hired by the Executive Director of MCDI, Inc., and because he and all the Executive Directors of MCDI, Inc. have been City of Springfield employees appointed by the Mayor, the definition of employer is satisfied. There is no evidence to show a non-City of Springfield employee set his salary. Governmental unit is defined in Section 1 to be synonymous with political subdivision. Political subdivision is defined in Section 1 to include a "city, town … or any other public unit in the commonwealth." Massachusetts DOE recognizes the MCDI Alternative School as a public school with public school students attending it, and all of its governance is done by City of Springfield employees. MCDI, Inc. is only a component of the MCDI Alternative School, and is no less a political unit of the City of Springfield. These facts show the pertinent definitions of Section 1 are satisfied by Mr. Roy's circumstances during 1995-1999.
The Springfield Retirement System cites case law that concludes employment by a non-profit corporation is private employment ineligible for creditable service. See, Castellano v. Springfield Retirement System, CR-04-1118 (DALA, 5/2/06) (CRAB, 1/3/07) (an employee of a non-profit corporation set up to plan for and to have oversight over CETA and its predecessor programs of JFTA and WIA, who had social security deductions taken from his pay, and who was required to participate in a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan, was not working for a governmental unit so his service was not eligible for creditable service); ( Popeo v. Worcester Retirement Board, CR-95-963 (DALA, 6/6/96) (CRAB, 10/7/96) (the Executive Director of a non-profit corporation designated by the City of Worcester as an anti-poverty agency who had social security deductions from his pay, was not a City employee); ( McLaughlin & Ciommo v. Boston Retirement Board, CR-00-1162 & 1163 (DALA, 7/19/02) (no CRAB Decision) (employees of a non-profit corporation managing grants for the City of Boston were not City employees); ( Davis v. Teachers' Retirement System, CR-02-46 (DALA, 5/24/02) (No CRAB Decision) (an employee of an alcohol and substance abuse program operated by a non-profit corporation funded by state and local funds, did not work for a governmental unit eligible for creditable service). On the other hand, there are cases where clear overlaps and intertwined functions and governance between a governmental unit and a non-profit corporation have concluded that is enough to make the service employment for a political unit or governmental unit, and eligible for creditable service. In Sennott v. Teachers' Retirement Board, CR-03-688 (DALA, 12/5/03) (No CRAB Decision), Ms. Sennott taught typing for a federally-funded employment and training agency that was established to help residents of the City of Gardner. The agency was made a non-profit corporation although that did not change its operations or funding in any way or its status with the City. The agency operated out of a City building, and did not pay rent. Ms. Sennott was paid by the non-profit corporation. Nevertheless, she was found able to gain creditable service for this work. The agency was found to be a public unit under the G. L. c. 32, § 1 definition of political subdivision because it was a component unit of the City of Gardner. In Boyle v. Pittsfield Retirement Board, CR-02-587 (DALA, 5/11/07) (Objections filed, CRAB decision pending), service for a training and employment program that was primarily federally funded, although the program was within a non-profit corporation, was eligible for creditable service. There was an overlap between the City's work and the non-profit's work, as well as governance of the non-profit by City employees. Although social security deductions had been taken from the pay received by Mr. Boyle, this fact was not found to be decisive. The program Mr. Boyle worked for was considered to be an unclassified department of the City of Pittsfield. At all times the Mayor of Pittsfield had the authority to promote, demote or discharge Mr. Boyle from his employment. The Mayor had administrative, financial, and oversight responsibility over the non-profit's program. The case of Gomes v. CRAB, Middlesex Superior Court No. 94-5927-B, Welch, J. (1995) was relied upon to show that the source of funds, i.e. federal grants, will not prevent the service from being eligible for creditable service.
The findings show an abundance of factors in Mr. Roy's circumstances of the clear connection of his service to benefit the City of Springfield's public school students, including the City of Springfield's administration and control of the MCDI Alternative School. There is ample support to find Mr. Roy worked for a political subdivision or political unit of the commonwealth from 1995-1999 in satisfaction of the Section 1 requirements. This means that service is eligible for creditable service. Further support for this conclusion is the vote of the Springfield Retirement System in September 2000 making all twelve remaining employees of MCDI, Inc. members of the Springfield Retirement System.
For these reasons, the decision of the Springfield Retirement System is rescinded and Mr. Roy is to receive creditable service for his work between 1995-1999 for the MDCI Alternative School when he was paid through MCDI, Inc.

Publisher's Summary
-Hagbard Celine, The Golden Apple Illuminatus! Part II, from the original and genuine trilogy of conspiracies, is performed in all its unabridged brilliance by a full ensemble cast.
Packaged in a carnival bundle of timeless truths and Joycean high camp, The Golden Apple serves as a perennial instruction manual for life on Earth in which you'll be lucky enough to learn: the Guerrilla Ontology of Markoff Chaney; the secret history of Atlantis; why gorillas and dolphins don't ordinarily talk to humans; the conspiracy against sex; the origins of the Trojan War (starring Eris, the namesake of our solar system's newest planet); the startling truth about UFOs; and the final secret of the Illuminati. Consider yourself warned.
Critic Reviews
"One of the most amusing, most imaginative fantasies to come along in a while....Spaced out, erotic, funny, masterly...the nth degree of surrealism....Readers will love the whole psychedelic puzzle." ( Publishers Weekly)
"After 300 [pages] I was having too much fun to quit, and by the end I was eager to believe every word: even if the only conspiracy at work here is Shea and Wilson's devilish exploitation of our need to made ordered sense out of everything under the sun....I loved it." (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone)

Over the top, but in the right way.
The first book in the trilogy, The Eye in the Pyramid (I reviewed it favorably too), was performed by two actors (with some "walk ons," if I recall). In this second book, the gruff-voiced narrator has been replaced by a broader cast of performers. The multiple voices help to keep track of the many characters, which, with the sudden segues, can be a challenge.
The content of the book remains as over the top as ever. The conspiracies reach back thousand of years, but are only "reported" through the 1970's, considering the books were written then. Can't really fault the authors for a lack of omniscience. Regardless, it is only when plot elements of that time, J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon, the JFK assassination, are utilized that the books remind us when they were written. The fact that one wishes the authors had been able to see the future, or had written the books last year, confirms how well they played with history and conspiracy.
I don't want to discourage a potential listener. This isn't like reading outdated speculative literature where we have moved past anything the writers imagined and nothing of value remains. Wilson and Shea were true to their story, weaving a conspiracy myth that is only strengthened by the events since they published.
Google the trilogy and you will find that the K.L.F. (1980's "acid house band," per Google, but read about their own over the top history) and the Church of the Subgenius (still in business) grew from or were fundamentally influenced by the trilogy. The authors played with history and played it well. The story has legs.
This performance of Part 2 is great. Part 3 is due to be released this winter, a present for fans.

this is only part 2
According to R.A.W's autobiography "The Cosmic Trigger", Illuminatus! was intended by the authors as a single work and artificially split into a trilogy by the publisher. Therefore, the three individual parts do not stand alone. If you liked "Eye in the Pyramid", you'll like this one. Heck, you'll need it.
This time around, Deepleaf gives the work much better production values and expands the cast in order to better bring the work to life. For the most part, the extra effort pays off. The addition of female voices and a special sound effect for Howard are especially welcome improvements.
That being said, I still miss Ken Campbell and Chris Fairbank, who do not appear anywhere on this one. They gave "Eye in the Pyramid" a specific mood that is missing here.
Good news - Leviathan (pt. III) is out and hopefully will be available here soon, and Ken Campbell returns to perform the Appendices, which all fans of this book know are good reading in their own right.

St. Joseph stuns Prep on last-second Hail Mary
FAIRFIELD -- After watching a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead against Fairfield Prep turn into a four-point deficit, the St. Joseph offensive unit trotted onto the field for the final minute Friday unwilling to panic.
After all, the Cadets still had 58 seconds to go 65 yards. They're familiar with the "two-minute" drill because they run a hurry-up offense every play of every game. And they still had three timeouts.
They also had Jordan Vazzano.
And when Vazzano connected with Lars Pedersen on a 42-yard touchdown as time expired, the Cadets had a stunning 36-34 victory at Alumni Field in the first meeting between the once-fierce rivals in 20 years.
"It was definitely the most exciting play of my career," said Vazzano, who might still be saying that 50 years from now.
"I've never experienced anything like this in my life," St. Joseph coach Joe Della Vecchia added. "After the (Prep) kickoff, I just said (to the offense), `Let's go, you know what to do.' You never know what might happen."
At St. Joseph, the saying actually goes, "With Jordan Vazzano, you never know what might happen."
Fairfield Prep found that out the hard way. The Jesuits had been outplayed for three quarters before rallying from a 30-14 deficit on a touchdown run by Nick Crowle and two by quarterback Colton Smith.
"We showed great heart," Prep coach Tom Shea said. "We fought back. But (10) penalties hurt us earlier."
Now trailing by four, the rather large stage -- Alumni Field was overflowing with fans and this was one of the state's greatest rivalries until their last meeting in 1993 -- was now set for Vazzano.
"Jordan really came into his own tonight," Della Vecchia said of the senior who, the coach believes, has been under-recruited by top colleges so far. "I think (recruiters) will have to take a long, hard look to see what they've been missing."
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Vazzano completed 29 of 45 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns. His top receiver was Shane Miller hauled in 11 balls for 180 yards and three scores. Pedersen (6-180) had two TDs including the game-winner.
"I ran my route and Jordan threw a perfect ball," Pederson said of the final play.
The junior separated himself from Prep defender Jake Buckley at the goal line after making contact with him, grabbing the ball and sending the Cadet sideline into total jubilation.
"Jordan put it up there and Lars leaned on (Buckley) like he is supposed to," Della Vecchia added.
Many Prep fans were screaming for an interference penalty, but not Shea.
"I can't comment on any call," he said. "We should have made the play, that's all."
The Prep defense held the Cadets to 82 yards on the ground but 53 came on an end-around TD run by Pedersen that seemed to seal the deal late in the third quarter.
Joe Ganim led Prep with 108 rushing yards and Smith added 94.
Smith also threw for 137 yards.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
Soren is a young owl who is enthralled by his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones.
While he dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father's favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences--causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones.
Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole--Soren's only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

Intel, Inc. (NYSE:INTC) is the world's leading semiconductor producer and has been the industry leader since the inception of the personal computer. Intel produces products for many facets of advanced technology including flash memory products, motherboards, wired and wireless connectivity products and networked storage products.
Since the 1980s Intel has seen growing competition from a number of companies but none more significant than Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Intel has been in the industry longer than AMD and, with around 70%+ market share, maintains a significant lead over its smaller rival.[1] Intel's higher net income allows it to outspend AMD on R&D. Such high R&D funding has allowed Intel to maintain its leadership position in the semiconductor industry.[2]
Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore founded Intel, Inc. in Santa Clara, California in 1968. Intel began as an engineering and technology company and developed the first microprocessor chip in 1971. Upon the invention of the personal computer (PC) microprocessors became Intel's main business. Intel has always enjoyed the largest market share in the industry and only began facing competition in the 1980s. Since it was founded Intel has always been on the cutting edge of microprocessing technology.
Intel sells its products to a number of different types of customers:
This group manufactures products that are incorporated into desktop and laptop computers, enterprise computing servers and workstations, a broad range of embedded applications, and other products. DEG's products include microprocessors and related chipsets and motherboards designed for the various computers mentioned. The growth in the mobile industry has affected this group's revenue generation, reducing the percentage contribution to the company as a whole.[3]
This group manufactures and produces processors for notebook computers and all other mobile devices. Recently the mobility group has been increasing its percentage of total revenue.[4]
Focused on providing technology for all aspects of the health care field. While no specific products have come out of this division to date, their goal is integrate technology into health care research, diagnostics and productivity, and personal health care.
Makes Intel products available around the world to third party distributors, dealers, system integrators and solution providers. Furthermore, this group designs products to meet local needs around the world.
Produces all of Intel's flash memory products for both embedded and wireless markets. This group includes the NAND flash memory products that are produced in Intel's joint venture with Micron. This joint venture has launched a high speed NAND flash memory technology that supposedly is five times faster than conventional NAND.
Intel's current development model, known as the "tic toc model", calls for the introduction of a new process technology every odd year, then a move towards a new architecture during each even year.
The semiconductor industry is deeply cyclical. Demand in up cycles is so high that chip manufacturers have trouble keeping up. Similarly, if electronic sales, particularly PC sales, are slow, demand for chips can plummet. The fact that the semiconductor industry is more subject to the whim of consumer demand more than corporate demand, also adds to the overall volatility. The backdrop of this high market volatility, however, has been continual growth. Over the last 20 years the semiconductor industry has seen about a 13% average annual growth rate.
Semiconductor sales have shown about an 80% correlation with GDP growth trends, meaning a downturn in GDP growth could very likely be accompanied by a downturn in semiconductor sales.
Intel spends significantly more on research and design than AMD in an effort to remain on the cutting edge of the technology field. Intel has introduced the world's first 45nm microprocessor which boasts smaller size and greater power than the previous 65nm microprocessors. Making the transition to 45nm has been extremely successful for Intel and they are now poised to transition to 32nm technology microprocessors.
Intel's innovative approach has also led to investments outside of the United States. For example, Intel has been making clean-tech investments in China.[6]
Intel has its Atom microprocessor for smart phones. There is a growing trend of mobile phones with internet access such as the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry. Intel plans to use its atom microprocessors as well as the 4G service WiMax, to enter into this expanding business. Intel will use the WiMax network that is being built through a seven company joint venture headed by Sprint and Clearwire. [7]
Intel is a large corporation with multiple divisions that compete with a variety of companies for customers. The table below highlights the major competitors identified for each division.
|Sun Microsystems (Now Oracle)
|Freescale Semiconductor,Inc.
|Flash Memory[9]
|Hynix Semiconductor Inc.
|Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
|SanDisk Corp.
|Spansion Inc.,
|Atheros Communications, Inc.
The microprocessor industry is essentially evolving into an unbalanced duopoly. Intel competes directly with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). While Intel still enjoys a significant advantage in market share, AMD has been gaining ground in the industry.

Designers van over de hele wereld zenden creatieve ontwerpen in voor witt in webpagina ontwerpen - custom.
Simple and clear directory design for piano movers in France.
This is a website aimed at professional piano movers in France. It will feature a tool for registered users to rate a piano mover, a google map tool. There will one or two ads (banners or skyscrapers) on the front page and inner pages also. Bur the overall look must be more like a portal, because the goal of the website is to help people find a good mover near their location.
We need a clean design, web 2.0 style.But not too much.
We need someone good to work with on a regular basis, with decent prices. This is an internal project, so we're using it as a test to see what we can get here. We need a real graphic designer with a good flair for nice interfaces and GUI, who know what a font is and how to use it, someone who can read a brief and understand the idea without hours of explanations, and who has a sufficient technical background about coding to know what is possible and what is not. You can also design a sort of logo for the website, although that's not mandatory at all. [Edit : see comments for a link to a simple logo. Colors used in file can be changed to suit your design]
If you have a proven track record and a porfolio of previous sites designed by you, it would be a definite plus. If you have a working knowledge of Flash (graphically speaking) that would be also a plus (for other projects)
- Design of front page. Must be modular with boxes for easy access : full search box, locate a mover by region, etc. At least 3 boxes under some presentation text.
- Design must be clean, modern, with a slight touch of class but not too much, and colored but not too vivid. Web 2.0 without a kid game's look.
- When your design is selected, you'll be asked to design the layout of the equivalent of 2-3 inside pages in the form of blocks : movers description with rating system, and login page for movers, etc. Once you have designed the overall look this will be only evolution; rather classical stuff (example : 5-star system for ratings, etc). When the website is coded, you'll probably be asked to create more details : icons, whatever, for an amount to be agreed upon.
- must avoid any "web 2.0 oblique stripe pattern" and too obvious references to web 2.0
- no close-up photos of keyboards
- no grand pianos staring at the photographer. If you need imagebank, use your imagination and find something different.

It's shy, nocturnal, and armed to the teeth. And it's a popular delicacy on many a seaside diner's plate.
Lobsters (Homarus americanus) are found throughout the Gulf of Maine, both out at sea and near the coast. They are one of the highest value commercial species fished for in Gulf of Maine states and provinces. Once considered a trash fish, suitable only for indentured servants, lobsters are now coveted as a delicacy.
We've learned much about the life of this popular crustacean. Lobsters take approximately 6 to 8 years to reach marketable size. They reproduce along all of the states and provinces in the Gulf of Maine, producing eggs each summer when water temperatures reach 56 degrees °F or higher. As many as 12,000 eggs are fertilized as they are extruded onto the females stomach. Here they sit in a tight bundle until they hatch 9-10 months later.
As larvae, lobsters travel great distances. Once hatched, the tiny larvae feed and swim vertically for 30-50 days in the water, carried by currents in a generally counter-clockwise direction around the Gulf. After this stage, the larvae settle down to become bottom dwelling (benthic) lobsters.
Lobsters prefer to settle in rocky or cobble beds along the coast, mostly below the lowest tides. They are looking for protection from predators such as small coastal fish, crabs, and even other lobsters. They in turn feed on even smaller animal prey for their diet. If conditions are right, a young lobster may remain in a particular cove or rocky embayment for 6 years or longer. Most remain within a few kilometers until they reach sexual maturity. Mature lobsters are not known to be picky eaters. They use their claws to crack open the shells of snails and bivalves, and will readily nibble on either algae or remains of dead animals.
A lobster will shed its shell, known as "molting," generally once each summer, less often as it becomes larger. As its new shell is bigger than the previous one, the lobster swells its tissues with water to fill the space. These lobsters are known as "shedders" when caught. The new shell takes months to complete the hardening process. A lobster may molt up to 25 times in seven years before reaching harvestable size. Interestingly, even at harvestable size, only 10% or so will have reached sexual maturity and reproduced.
It may seem odd, but mature lobsters generally migrate out to sea in the winter time, away from the coast. This is because the open ocean water stays relatively warmer than shallow bays along the coast.
For more than a century, lobsters have been caught in simple traps, sometimes called "pots" after the conical traps of past days. A modern lobster trap is a two-chambered rectangle, once made of wood, now made of coated wire. In one section of the trap lies the bait bag - a mesh bag filled with herring or other fish. The lobster is attracted to the trap by the chemical "scent" of this bait. Lobsters enter through a mesh opening, arriving in the "kitchen" or first compartment of the trap. At this point, it may still find its way back out of the trap.
If, however, the lobster enters the second compartment, it will pass through another mesh opening, wider at its mouth than at its exit. Once through and in the "parlor" or "bedroom" as the second section of the trap is called, the lobster is trapped. Only undersized juveniles can make their way out of this section via an "escape vent."
Underwater video by University of New Hampshire scientists shows that lobsters may enter and leave the first section of a trap repeatedly before finally venturing in to the "parlor."
Female lobsters have long been protected by lobstermen. In addition, it is illegal to harvest an egg-bearing lobster. By convention, lobstermen in Maine will put a V-notch in the tail flipper of a female lobster bearing eggs. This V-notch alerts other lobstermen that they have landed a female that should not be kept or sold. Through natural processes and such simple conservation measures, the lobster population in the Gulf of Maine has increased significantly.
With an annual value of over $186,000,000 in 2000 and almost a quarter of all harvesting licenses dedicated to lobstermen in 2001, fishermen and scientists have both been very interested in patterns of lobster distribution along the shore. For years many people thought that abundant coastal lobsters were the offspring of large "brood" lobsters who live in the deeper waters of the Gulf and do not migrate to shore each spring. However, recent studies suggest that there may be no distinct population of brood stock seeding coastal areas. Studies are ongoing.

It's a joyous movie, the best one I've seen in a very long time.
Read Full Review
The story of a teen desperate for a father figure who finds encouragement from a wild-and-crazy water-park employee -- rather than from the guy auditioning to be his stepdad -- can be explosively funny in parts, but overall feels pretty familiar, relying more on its cast than the material to win favor.
The film's not as good as its cast, but The Way, Way Back has its moments.
Despite the familiarity of this setup, Way Back is a charmer, putting refreshingly little emphasis on Duncan's romantic needs and allowing family melodrama to erupt and simmer down without pat resolution.
There's something slightly formulaic and familiar about Nat Faxon and Jim Rash's coming-of-age film The Way, Way Back, but not enough to dampen its crowd-pleasing charm.
Co-writers/directors Faxon and Rast have created a little gem of a film. Without question, The Way Way Back is the best coming-of-age movie of the summer and should be seen by audiences of all ages.
It's funny, affecting, and appealing, and more worthy than much of what's out there. Often, coming-of-age stories rely forcefully on formulaic narrative developments but The Way Way Back remains fresh from start to finish.
See all The Way Way Back reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 13+
Refreshing coming-of-age tale a joy for teens and up.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Way, Way Back is an empathetic, entertaining coming-of-age dramedy that rings true on many levels, capturing what it's like to be a 14-year-old boy surrounded by adults who should be doing a better job of acting their age. Some themes (i.e. infidelity) may be too much for tweens, but teens will appreciate the challenges the main character faces and how he decides to confront them. Expect scenes showing adults in various states of inebriation (mostly giggly and neglectful), seducing others who aren't their mates, and being cruel to teens, among others. A teen is shown sneaking a few beers into her purse; others talk about how one teen supplies adults with weed. Language includes one "f--k," plus "s--t" and "a--hole," and there's innuendo and stolen kisses between a couple who are involved with other people.
Messages: Just because someone (say, a parent) is older, that doesn't mean she's wiser. Sometimes teens are just as insightful, if not more so, and we can all learn from one another. Also, nobody's perfect, but some imperfections are kinder and gentler than others. Choose who you want to be. Being yourself and finding joy in it is the path to happiness.
Role models: Duncan is a grounded, curious 14-year-old who can see right through adults' insecure machinations. But he doesn't use his observations cruelly. Even when he's despondent and upset, he finds a way out of his own misery. Owen, though immature at times, is kind and open-hearted, and he teaches Duncan how to be comfortable in his own skin. But Duncan's mother's boyfriend, Trent, is mean and disloyal, and his mother, though caring, forgets what's important.
Violence: Some arguments, both big and small.
Sex: Innuendo, plus some lingering camera shots on women's backsides (as they're ogled by guys) and stolen kisses between a man and a woman who are technically involved with other people.
Language: Language includes one "f--k," plus "s--t," "damn," "d--k," "jackass," "crap," "ass," "a--hole," "oh my God," and more. A euphemism is used for the c-word.
Consumerism: Some brands/products are seen/mentioned, including iPhone, Pabst, Google, and Chevrolet.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Adults spend a chunk of the summer pretty much drunk or nearly drunk. One woman proudly announces that she's off the wagon (and is obnoxious to boot). A teenage girl sneaks a few beers into her purse. There's talk of people buying weed, but viewers don't really see it. A man is shown smoking a cigar.

Flacco Deal Update...
Per Aaron Wilson
Biggest obstacles for Ravens,Joe Flacco are lack of salary-cap room and obvious difference of opinion on what to pay him. Long process
What does this really mean?
How would doing a deal now affect his 2012 cap number? There will be space in 2013 which is when the deal would go into effect. I dont get the part about the cap. I understand that part about what to pay him etc...
Maybe let him play out his contract and see how he does this year and sign him based on that? Problem with that is if Rice is unsigned you only have one tag so you have to sign one. It will be an interesting 3 months.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
FYI...I don't know all the salaries for 2013, but we are likely going to be right up against the cap again.
And if they don't sign him or Rice, you can say goodbye to Ray Rice as there is no way in hell the team is letting Joe hit UFA.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Tbh Rice deserves a long term deal more than Flacco right now. I am obviously a big fan of Flacco, but let him play his year out, and let him show us that he is really "the best QB in the NFL". You know I never hear Rice going around saying he's the best RB in the league, and yet he has probably statistically had a better career so far than Flacco, yes I know Rice said he played out his contract and so he has.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Rice has been a team player and a model citizen and a standout tailback in a league of talented tailbacks. I applaud everything he's done, on the field and off.
But the RB shelf life just isn't that long.
If I had to choose between which one I still wanted going into 2018, without question it would be Flacco. I hope Rice is still productive then, but I'd also have no problem tagging him this year, tagging him next, and waving goodbye, if we have to. RBs just don't have that many productive years in the NFL.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Joe Flacco, when asked, said he thought he was a top 5 quarterback.
Ray Rice, when asked, said through his agent he should be paid more than Arian Foster.
You say tomato, I say tomato. :)Festivus

They don't give NFL contracts on what the player "deserves".
Smart teams give out contracts on potential and value.
Joe > Rice in therms of both.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Signing Flacco longterm is 10X more important than inking Rice.
Rice is maybe the best receiving back in the league. He is the beneficiary of being in Cam's offense where he is main short/checkdown option with all our WRs running deep routes (and not adept at getting open, I might add). That's why Ray gets a lot of balsl thrown his way, and he is pretty damn good in space.
Running the ball.... I'm not as up as many of you are on Rice's production. Last year, I think he left far too many yards on field with Leach opening up a hole, and Rice not following his path of destruction. Sure Rice broke a lot of big ones, but he sure had a bunch of 2yd gains that should have been 5-7yds if hit the hole right. Its like he was a Home Run hitter.... Got the Home Runs (1 Sometimes 2 20yd+ gains/game), but struck out a lot (too many 1 or 2 yd gains). He has to hit more singles (5yders) and doubles (10yders) next year.
So what does that mean.... Pretty simple--- a deal equivalent to Foster (who is a better rushing RB, but not quite Rice's caliber in passing game). Rice's agent is asking too much if the Ravens are offering a similar deal. We can't break the bank and be stupid. Honestly, its about time Cam's offense scheme gets with the times and have our WRs become the focus of the passing game. If that finally happens, a great receiving RB is not as important. I'd rather allocate more dough to the WR position, than breaking the bank to keep Rice.

Assuming Tony knows what he's talking about (a safe assumption) then the lack of a deal is 100% on Rice's end.

Since the 1980's, the Bombardier-built automated people mover (APM) systems at McCarran International Airport have been integral part of the Airport's long-range expansion plans. Located only 8 km (5 mi.) from downtown Las Vegas, McCarran ranks as one of the busiest airports in the world.
Bombardier has maintained the shuttle systems at the Airport since the first system, leg C, opened in 1985. The second system, leg D, opened in 1998 and introduced the INNOVIA APM 100 vehicles.
In 2006, Bombardier received two contracts. The first included six INNOVIA APM 100 vehicles that will operate in a new underground shuttle system between Terminal 3 (T3) and the existing D-gate concourse. The second contract called for the supply of a further ten new vehicles to replace some of the existing fleet, and upgrades to the electrical and mechanical equipment on shuttle legs C and D.

WKU File Storage Quotas
WKU File storage is not unlimited and quotas are placed on individual file shares and departmental file shares. Users are encouraged to actively manage file space and delete files which are no longer necessary. The following are the default storage quotas.
|Type of Storage
|Default Storage Quota
|Individual File Storage Quota (P: Drive)
|Departmental File Storage Quota*** (S: and U: Drives)
Individuals and departments can request additional storage by calling the IT Help Desk. Departments using in excess of the default storage quota will be charged a per gigabyte fee for additional storage. The current charge structure is as follows:
$1.00 per 1 gigabyte per year. These fees will be billed annually at the beginning of the fiscal year in July. If more storage is requested during the fiscal year, a prorated charge will be accessed and billed based on the amount of storage requested and the remaining months in the fiscal year.
A department using 1.5 Terabytes of data on July 1 will be charged for 1 terabyte. (1.5 Terabytes – 500 GB (Allotted Quota) = 1 terabyte in excess of 500 GB quota. 1 terabyte = 1000 gigabytes X $1.00 / GB = $1000. So the department would be charged $1000 as the annual fee for excess storage.
Individuals requesting more file storage for personal files on the P: Drive will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Determination regarding assessment of additional fees will depend on use case and whether or not the requesting party is a student or an employee. Charges for employees who require storage beyond the allotted quota on the P: Drive could be assessed to the employee's department depending on the situation.
***Departmental File Shares are defined as the collective sum of all file storage being used by all the individuals in a given department regardless of location of such files on the S: or U: shared drives.

This "Regulatory Moratorium" will help promote Hoosiers' freedom to engage in individual, family, and business pursuits. Outmoded, ineffective, excessively burdensome, or unnecessary rules should be repealed so that private sector employment and new investment in Indiana increases and the quality of our Hoosier workforce improves.

"Those folks don't have a lot of responsibilities," Obama said. "They are not commander in chief."
Tension with Iran, and Obama's preference for restraint, dominated his first full news conference of the year, held on the same day that Republican Super Tuesday voting was drawing attention as well.
On politics, Obama said that higher gasoline prices as a result of Mideast worries would be a bad idea for any president running for re-election, and he also said he was working to expand America's energy base.
He called violence in Syria "heartbreaking" but showed no new willingness for military involvement in that Mideast country.
Obama said his critics are forgetting the "cost of war" in their rush to punish Iran and defend Israel, which sees a nuclear Iran as a mortal threat in its Mideast neighborhood.
Rhetoric on the right is "more about politics than about trying to solve a difficult problem," Obama said.
He said he is focused on "crippling sanctions" already imposed on Iran and on international pressure to keep that nation from developing a nuclear weapon.
Obama said his private meetings with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu this week carried the same message as his public pronouncements. And he implied that Israeli pressure for urgent action was not supported by the facts, saying that a decision was not necessary within the next weeks or months.
He added that Iranians need to show how serious they are about resolving the crisis. He said there are steps the Iranians can take "that are verifiable" and will allow it to be "in compliance with international norms and mandates."
On gas prices, Obama dismissed as laughable the suggestion by some Republican critics that he actually wants increases.
He said no president facing re-election would want to see gas prices rise because of the hardship that would cause to American families, and that he's asking his attorney general to examine whether speculation in the oil markets is driving up oil prices.
In the past month, gasoline prices have risen by more than 28 cents per gallon, making gasoline the most expensive ever for this time of year. On Tuesday, the nationwide average for regular unleaded slipped less than a penny to $3.764 per gallon, ending a string of price increases that began on Feb. 8.
