Still More Corruption Under the Reign of Aramark Schools; Bonanno Foreman Misappropriates Yet Another School District Vehicle with Wink from John Gallagher
Jimmy Bonanno is untouchable!
At least that is the message he is sending to the New Rochelle Board of Education. He and his crew have been involved in all manner of illegal activity and yet Bonanno laughs in their face, ridiculing the board and his bosses while remaining ensconced in his taxpayer-funded hideaway bungalow at 51 Cliff Street protecting his turf with a personal security system and "guard dogs".
Two days after Schools Superintendent Richard Organisciak attempted to quell anger on the New Rochelle Board of Education over reports of district employees making personal use of district vehicles, a Bonanno employee is still taking a district vehicle home every night and weekends.
At the board meeting on Tuesday April 24th, Organisciak made a public statement to announce that he had brought with him a copy of the "Superintendent's Policy" that would address concerns over a Talk of the Sound report that district plumber Anthony Raffa was taking district Vehicle E-68 home at night rather than his personal vehicle. The policy later presented to the board in executive session, DISTRICT OWNED VEHICLES 3530 USE OF SCHOOL DISTRICT VEHICLES is actually a Board of Education policy, a directive from the board to the Superintendent, as several displeased board members later pointed out to Talk of the Sound. The document makes clear that Organisciak has not been enforcing the policy for his entire tenure as Schools Superintendent in New Rochelle.
Misappropriation is a form of theft. It is a felony offense. In law, misappropriation is the "intentional, illegal use of the property or funds of another person for one's own use or other unauthorized purpose, particularly by a public official, a trustee of a trust, an executor or administrator of a dead person's estate or by any person with a responsibility to care for and protect another's assets (a fiduciary duty). It is a felony, a crime punishable by a prison sentence."
Salvatore "Sal" Porretto is a public employee. He is the working-foreman in the Buildings & Grounds department at 51 Cliff Street. His direct supervisor is Vincent "Jimmy" Bonanno, the supervisor. Bonanno and his son, "Little Jimmy" are well-known to Talk of the Sound readers regarding numerous incidents of malfeasance. By permitting Porretto to misappropriate the vehicle, Bonanno could be charged as an accessory. Just add it to a very long list.
Vehicle E-47 is a Jeep Cherokee owned by the district. Sources tell Talk of the Sound that Porretto has for many years been making personal use of Vehicle E-47 and that he routinely, brazenly parked the vehicle directly in front of his house at 5 Edgewood Park in New Rochelle. Talk of the Sound has confirmed that E-47 with the words "City School District of New Rochelle" clearly marked on the side of the vehicle has been parked there in the early evenings, late at night and in the morning.
E-47 has a hitch mounting system on the front to attach a snow plow. Porretto reportedly uses the vehicle in the winter to operate a private snow removal business, raising additional questions about whether Porretto has been declaring income from this business to the New York State Department of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service.
One Several sources tells Talk of the Sound the has been parked there (often illegally) for years, going back to at least 2007-2008. Porretto has been driving R-47 for more than 10 years.
The vehicle does not have a registration sticker (it says "VOID"). The rear license plate does not have the required inspection sticker. The absence of registration stickers on the vehicle raises questions about whether the vehicle is insured or even street legal. One mechanic familiar with New York State Vehicle Inspection protocol expressed amazement that the vehicle had been passed for inspection in New York State without having a valid New York State registration.
Last year, Talk of the Sound reported on a red garbage truck owned by the school district for five years which has never had proper registration, license plates or insurance. The registration and plates on the vehicle were registered to the Village of Pelham Manor, NY.
Within the district administration, Assistant Superintendent John Quinn is responsible for the district's fleet of vehicles, a responsibility he has almost entirely delegated to John Gallagher who has, in turn, delegated responsibility for vehicles like E-47 to Vincent "Jimmy" Bonanno.
Porretto is a working-foreman in the Buildings & Grounds department at 51 Cliff Street. His direct supervisor is "Jimmy" Bonanno. Both Jimmy and his son, "Little Jimmy" are well-known to Talk of the Sound readers.
Bonanno is said to have long permitted Porretto to make personal use of the vehicle with the knowledge of upper management including John Gallagher and Anthony Rigos.
Board members have expressed outrage over the misuse of district property and the failure of Gallagher to account for school equipment and personnel during the work day, overnight and on weekends.
This latest incident comes in the wake of a heated executive session of the New Rochelle school board late last month after Talk of the Sound reported additional cases of New Rochelle school district employees were still misappropriating district vehicles to run personal errands like getting dosed with methadone ("Little Jimmy" Bonanno) and keeping vehicles at their home overnight (Anthony Raffa) in clear violation of Board of Education policy. Talk of the Sound has been reporting on similar incidents since 2009 involving a district carpenter and an HVAC worker. Vito Costa was arrested by the Westchester County District Attorney and later plead guilty to crimes relating to working a no-show job while using district equipment and supplies to operate a private business while being paid to work for the district.
The Buildings and Grounds Department under Gallagher has been rife with corruption and criminality for many years with contractors paying off Aramark employees, district employees under them stealing time, supplies, equipment and converting public property to personal use, sources say.
Schools Superintendent Richard Organisciak attempted to deflect the concerns of board members over the Raffa story by telling board members at an executive session on March 27th to "consider the source", a favorite line of the Superintendent when confronted with reports by Talk of the Sound of malfeasance occurring under his watch. This time the board was not buying it. Board President Chrisanne Petrone rebuked Organisciak, telling him that she never wanted to hear him say "consider the source" again, according to some of those present.
Ironically, Raffa and another district employee, Phil Rosetti, were working at the Barnard School while the executive session was taking place. Shortly after the meeting ended, Raffa and Rosetti were observed driving their personal vehicles out of the back parking lot at Barnard. They are supposed to use work vehicles at work and go home in their personal vehicles, a common practice familiar to anyone who has ever held a job.
Rosetti, one of the employees dispatched during the work day by Bonanno to work on Bonanno's girlfriend's house in Orange County, often drives his personal vehicle during the work day so he can pick up scrap metal when he is supposed to be working. Sources tell Talk of the Sound, he sells the metal and splits the proceeds with Bonanno yet another Bonanno enterprise that tax authorities might find interesting.
For reason not yet clear, Rosetti has been parking his private vehicle overnight and on weekends at the school district yard at Cliff Street. Past being prologue, there is sure to be some story behind that. When we have it we will be sure share it with readers.
The board policy on district vehicles was adopted in 1998 during the presidency of long-time board member Diedre Polow. She enacted the policy with board support after she and other school officials observed a district vehicle parked in the driveway of a house on Davenport Avenue near the New Rochelle beach clubs.
Policy 3530 states that only authorized staff may use district vehicles, during the school day for School District business only. The use of a School District vehicle overnight or during the weekend is expressly prohibited, unless it is for "School District business and has the prior approval of the Superintendent of Schools". The policy designates the Assistant Superintendent for Business' Office (John Quinn) as the custodian for all School District vehicle keys, requires that all keys and E-Z Passes are to be "turned into the Assistant Superintendent for Business' Office (John Quinn) by close of business the next business day" and that Quinn "maintain a sign-out and sign-in sheet for the use of School District vehicles".
Quinn appears to have delegated his responsibilities under 3530 to John Gallagher who holds the twin titles of Director of Buildings & Grounds and Director of Environmental Services at City School District of New Rochelle but who in reality is an employee of Aramark Schools. The diversified services giant acquired the New Rochelle contract when they bought the facility-services business of ServiceMaster in 2001. Gallagher is one of four Aramark Schools employees that are responsible for facilities management in the New Rochelle public school system. The others are Anthony Rigos, James Purdie, and Godfrey Daphness.
In 2009, after a Talk of the Sound series on the misappropriation of school vehicles for private use by employees working under Gallagher and Rigos, memos were sent by the pair to all Buildings and Grounds employees "reminding" the district employees that they are responsible to return "district vehicles under their supervision" to an assigned location, primarily New Rochelle High School, 51 Cliff Street and 88 Grove Street and warned that "under no circumstances are vehicles to be brought home or be off premises with the prior approval from myself or Anthony Rigos." Memos were sent by Rigos on April 13, 2009 and May 6, 2009 and copied to John B. Quinn, Assistant Supervisor for Business Affairs.
UPDATE: E-47 was again parked in front of 5 Edgewood Park tonight (Friday April 27, 2012 at 7 PM). It looks like it will be there all weekend so feel free to drop by and take a look for yourself. You are paying for that Jeep so maybe Sal will let you take it for a spin.
UPDATE: I inquired with the New Rochelle City Manager about the word "VOID" on the registration sticker on E-47.
April 27, 2012
Dear Mr. Strome,
This vehicle is parked at this moment in front of 5 Edgewood Park. I am told that for about 4-5 years the home owner, Sal Porretto, has been driving this vehicle, parking it on the street, often illegally, and yet it does not get ticketed. Setting aside that this vehicle is a school district vehicle being taken home in violation of district policy, how can a vehicle with "VOID" registration be on the road, how can it pass inspection? What does VOID even mean?
Robert Cox
Talk of the Sound
UPDATE: I received a prompt reply that went well beyond my original request.
April 30, 2012
Dear Mr. Cox:
This letter is written to inform you about the outcome of the City's investigation on inquiry regarding the vehicle which is often parked on Edgewood Park (reference number: 2012-7518).
The investigation that resulted from your inquiry revealed the following. The Police report that a DMV check revealed that the vehicle and plates are valid as is the vehicle's inspection sticker (November 2012). Except for motorcycle registration stickers, NY State doesn't place stickers on the rear license plate of vehicles. At one time, the registration may have been removed; often when a vehicle's windshield is removed due to damage and when the sticker is pulled off the word "void" appears on the sticker. DMV will not issue a new registration sticker until registration's expiration date. The Police should be called at the time that the car is observed to be parked illegally (654-2300). Currently, it appears valid.
Concerns about the school district vehicle being taken home in violation of district policy should be reported directly to the Board of Education (576-4201).
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me in this office.
Charles B. Strome, III
City Manager
UPDATE: This afternoon I received an email from an attorney representing Sal Porretto demanding that I immediately take down this article.
April 30, 2012
Dear Mr Cox:
This Law Firm is retained by Mr. Salvatore Porretto with respect to your internet posting about him which is patently false, and causes libel to Mr. Porretto in his profession, which you know is libel per se. You are not cloaked with immunity for your false statements and you have not researched this matter appropriately or in good faith. If you cared about the truth, as to why the School District Vehicle is parked in front of my client's home, you should have sent a FOIL request to the School District before you posted your false statements about Mr Porretto.
There seems to be a lot of hate and personal animus by you towards a group of people, and now you have brought in my client's name to the fray, falsely, inaccurately and maliciously.
Immediately take down your posting about my client, as my client's damages increase every minute you keep the posting available for public access, scrutiny and comment. I place you on notice that you are falsely/malevolently bringing about public scorn of Mr. Salvatore Porretto, who is a respected member of the Community and employee of the School District of New Rochelle.

UPDATE: I responded within the hour.
April 30, 2012
Mr. Pirrotti,
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns. It is our policy to make corrections clearly and promptly and I will certainly strive to do so in this case.
I am not aware that I have made any false statements about Mr. Poretto in my internet posting by which I understand you to refer to above linked article on Talk of the Sound. If you will kindly point out specific statements that you contend are false I will address each one in its specifics. If you have documents or other information not in my possession that would support your claims I would appreciate receiving copies so that I might review them and better understand your concerns.
At this time, I believe your request that I immediately take down my article which references Mr. Poretto is overly broad and unreasonable. A great deal of the article covers policy issues regarding school district vehicles. photographs, citations from district records and accounts of various incidents that do not involve Mr. Porretto at all.
Thank you for time and consideration.

What is unreasonable is that you did not do your homework, you did not FOIL any information from the School, you do not know why the School District truck is parked in front of my client's house, and you rush to Judgment without knowing all of the facts; that is NOT journalism, that is not protected under the law.
You are acting out of spite and hate, and you are bringing into the fold of your dispute, a good man who has done no wrong.
We each mark our path in life and paddle our own canoe. Sometimes when you are wrong, and act in haste and anger, you make errors. Here you made a complete error, were negligent in failing to do proper research and then purposefully hurt someone, disparaging his good name. All we have in life is our good name: nothing is more important than that, other than health.
You do what you have to do, but I am certainly not going to do your work for you. Take it off and out immediately. Once you do that, then I will show you how, with a little bit of input, you could have easily found out why Mr Porretto has a School District automobile outside his home.

Mr. Pirrotti,
I am more than happy to correct any errors in the article. I am requesting that you point them out to me so that I can evaluate your claims and make any corrections that are warranted. So far you have declined to do that. I hope you will reconsider.
It was not my intention to ask you to do work for me in providing records. You have indicated that there are records that would support your claims. As you are requesting that I act "immediately" it seemed to me that your providing these records would be the most expeditious means of my addressing your concerns.
I am open to any suggestions you might have on how I might "reasonably describe" the documents you appear to be referencing so that I might meet the standard under FOIL and make a request of the district to provide the records.
Thank you.

You seem obsessed with boats and fish and water.

you smart
You guys are super smart and untouchable.
All B&G employees should feel free to spend their days at diners and coffee shops, working side jobs, using district vehicles and equipment for personal business, looting school supplies and otherwise feasting of the taxpayers of New Rochelle who have nothing to do but spend their time earning money so they can give it to guys getting nice union contracts with great benefits and pensions and show their appreciation as you have here.
Keep up the great work. You are making New Rochelle proud!
you are untouchable!
Little Jimmy...I mean RickyRat...
What are you worried about. You and your Dad keep telling anyone who will listen that you are "untouchable", right? I am sure you two can do whatever you want and no one can do anything about it.
I can see you posted your comment at 1:37 p.m. so by now you are no longer on your lunch break and likely back from getting stoned with Jason Rosenthal. I guess you don't have stolen inventory to deliver to any bars and restaurants this afternoon so why not kick back, light about blunt and take it easy.
BTW, be sure to tell your team to keep driving around with their headlights off at night as they drive behind me. It makes them so inconspicuous because, of course, lots of people drive around at 10 o'clock at night with no headlights.
And you forgot about sniffing
And you forgot about sniffing some OC, did you have a nice 420 the other day?
Cox, I don't know what your
I don't know what your obsession is with Jimmy Jr. or the Bonannos but I would really appreciate it if you don't mention my name in the same sentence with him or any other known criminal. Yes I know of Jimmy but I CERTAINLY don't get high with him. The last time I seen him was 4 years ago in the Hamptons. Don't be mad cause I know how you get your info and why you get it. Also I do know and talk to some of the guys you slander. Sorry to tell you but if you only knew what really went on and how crazy little Jimmy is you wouldn't be able to digest it.
slander who?
Do you know what slander means?
ABSOLUTELY...Do you think
ABSOLUTELY...Do you think this site has FACTS!!! HA
maybe you better look it up
I don't think you know what slander means. Maybe you should look it up.
Once you figure that out see if you can demonstrate some statement in the above article that would amount to slander. Just one will do.
Here's a hint, your SAYING something is not true does not make it "not true".
One example of slander is in
One example of slander is in your comment where you state "I can see you posted your comment at 1:37 p.m. so by now you are no longer on your lunch break and likely back from getting stoned with Jason Rosenthal." That right there is SLANDER How DARE you accuse me of getting stoned with Jimmy Jr you don't even know who I am or have any PROOF of such an event taking place. As I stated in my previous comment I do NOT associate with Jimmy....Another example as you state in your article "Rosetti, one of the employees dispatched during the work day by Bonanno to work on Bonanno's girlfriend's house in Orange County, often drives his personal vehicle during the work day so he can pick up scrap metal when he is supposed to be working. Sources tell Talk of the Sound, he sells the metal and splits the proceeds with Bonanno yet another Bonanno enterprise that tax authorities might find interesting." What PROOF do you have of this? Any videos to show of this since you LOVE using that camera of yours? Just because someone whispers something in your ear doesn't make it FACT it means your just a GOSSIP and you will believe ANYTHING negative anyone says about the Bonannos or anyone that works for that department...Maybe if you keep printing it enough it will come true but lets be honest Bobby where has it gotten you??
try again
Louis...I mean Jason...
I already told you that you saying something is not true does not make it slander. So you are going to need to try hard. Let me see if I can help you understand why this article is NOT slander.
First, you and Little Jimmy...I mean RickyRat...keep saying how this site is not credible, that no one reads it and so on. If you believe that then nothing on this site can be slander because for a statement to be slander, by which you mean libel since defamation in print is libel (slander is spoken not printed), the source has to be credible. Since you believe the site is not credible there can be no slander.
Second, there is no such person as "Jason Rosenthal" and you can't slander a pseudonym.
Third, this is a news site not a court room. There is no obligation for me to present evidence like I am a lawyer trying a case. My reporting is always a combination of observation, pubic records, photos, video and sources, named and unnamed..\
Fourth, the people involved are school district employees and contractors. I have regularly contacted the district for a response. That the district declines to respond to issue a denial is not my problem. My obligation ends there.
Fifth, you and Little Jimmy still have your jobs so you have not suffered any financial harm as the result of my reporting therefore you have no basis for a libel case.
Sixth, I don't know what I report to be untrue and that is the actual test for a defamation case, that I would publish things about people that I know to be untrue.
Seventh, I believe the things that I have reported ARE true. In fact, I have meticulously researched my reporting over the last three years with thousands of pages of notes, photos, video, public records and interviews.
So, when you say that you know what slander is you really don't. In fact, you don't even know that the legal term does not apply to published material.
Here is the real question, why do two people using the name RickyRat and Jason Rosenthal have so much interest in my reporting about the Bonannos and their pals working for the school district. According to you, you haven't seen Little Jimmy in years and "used to" know him. For someone with so little connection to the Bonannos you have what I would call a disproportionate interest in acting as their bar room lawyer as does RickyRat.
This article that you are commenting on is about corruption and mismanagement by Aramark Schools within the context of a broader pattern of both as illustrated by the private use of a school district vehicle by Sal Porretto. The "evidence" is the vehicle sitting in front of Sal's home. If people are interested to do so, they can head over to Webster and Lockwood, turn up Lockwood and make a left onto Edgewood Park, the vehicle is parked about 150 feet down the street, on the right.
You wonder why the Board of
You wonder why the Board of Ed and the teachers just laugh at you and see you only as entertainment. Bob you know you don't have all the facts be honest you slander people. If you didn't you and Matt Pryce wouldn't spend all day and night trying to convince us otherwise. Face it you don't have facts. Bob you are just obsessed with these guys if you want facts Organisciak tells all his staff to simply ignore you and pay you no mind but I told him this site is great for a laugh something we all agreed on. So when you need a good laugh just log on. Oh and continue to think I'm Louis your just showing everyone that you are obsessed with the same guys. Clearly according to you anyone that makes a comment that defends someone from the Building and Grounds Department must be Louis or Jimmy "Lil Jimmy" Bonanno.
OK, Louis.
And keep listening to the radio show.
I thought I was Louis....more
I thought I was Louis....more speculation Bob? Your such an idiot...and what radio show fatso? Mr.bonnano got that yanked off the air you pig...get a job fatso. What's the matter you couldn't pass the series 7 and take over your daddys law firm. Tell your wife to release those little boys your holding captive in your basement....she's just a filthy as you...
nope, Jimmy
Actually, I passed the Series 7 and the Series 3 and Series 63 exam.
That would not help me with a law firm, however, as those are exams to obtain licenses to trade securities and futures contracts.
Keep flailing away, you are bound to get something right eventually!
Employees Of the City ! (The taxpayers deserve better)
Thanks Bob Cox, From a taxpayer who pays more than his fair share. For at least trying to enlighten the good people of New Rochelle.
For Supervisor Organisciak, Have you not been embarrased enough by these hoodlums.
For the school and City employees, If you dont get it by now, you are dumb and deserve to be arrested We the taxpayers are fed up with your behavior.
To the detrators, who criticize Bob Cox On this site you must be employees of the City, For what other reason would you not appreciate the truth.
Last but not least The Board of education, You have not done your job. The bullying in our schools and the behavior of our employees is not acceptable. You need to respond, and investigate. If these accusations are true, you need to remove these employees from their positions!
Some day in the near future the residents will awaken.

Pop into one of our traditional pubs dotted along our [ale trails] and you'll find yourself in a quintessentially British pub with a colourful history and a bar full of the finest real ales.
We have a superb selection of blended and malt whiskies, each with its own distinctive and thoroughly warming character. Explore our range and find your new favourite today.
The Marquis of Granby in Westminster London is a member of the Cask Marque Trust in recognition of its excellence in the service of real ale.

Hit the ground running!While a student, take advantage of the numerous opportunities available at Coastal Law to gain practical legal experience. Students can earn credit for participating in one of our many clinics, in an externship with a public or governmental agency or not-for-profit corporation or in a judicial internship. As noted in the Student Handbook, and with a few exceptions, a student is limited to 12 credit hours toward graduation that stem from in house clinics or any type of externship.
For more information, visit our links on the left hand side of this page or stop by the clinic office, Suite 255 phone us at (904) 680-7792 or email us at email@example.com.
Certification ProcessPursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, students in Florida law schools can be certified to appear in certain proceedings on behalf of certain clients. This is commonly referred to as having a Certified Legal Intern ("C.L.I."). However, as Sec. 1.3 of the rule states, the only way to "make an appearance pursuant" to the rule is to appear "as part of a law school practice program." In other words, in order to become a Certified Legal Intern ("C.L.I."), you must be enrolled for credit in one of our qualifying in house clinics (all but Immigrant Rights) or externships here at Coastal. You cannot become a certified legal intern to work for a private attorney or to work in non-qualifying externships. Based on the criteria set forth in Rule 11, the types of externships that allow a student to be certified include those with the state attorney or attorney general's office, the public defender agency, state and local governmental agencies and legal service organizations that represent indigent clients.
Moreover, Rule 11-1.9 provides that a student can, upon graduation, be certified to "make appearances for any of the same supervisory authorities under the same circumstances and restrictions that were applicable to students in law school programs pursuant to this chapter..." This is often referred to as a "post-graduate certification." Again, based on the quoted language, this does not include private attorneys and law firms. Further, the section limits this certification to students who have completed a "law school practice program." Thus, in order to be approved under this section, a graduate must have participated in one of the qualifying clinics or externships. Many state attorney and public defender agencies in Florida prefer to hire graduates who can qualify for certification. Therefore, if your career interests are in these areas of public service, you should try to participate in one of the qualifying in house clinics or externships while a Coastal student.
Requirements to Become a CLI (Certified Legal Intern)
- Acceptance into "law school practice program" (see above)
- Completion of at least 48 credit hours
- Completion of Application to the Florida Bar and receipt of "Notice of Registrant Clearance" from the Florida Board of Bar Examiners or completion of mini "CLI application" to the Florida Bar (less expensive)" and receipt of "Notice of Registrant Clearance" from the Florida Board of Bar Examiners.
- Submission by the staff of our clinical programs of a letter from the Dean of the law school certifying (1.) and (2.) above along with CLI Application and Notice of Registrant Clearance to the Florida Supreme Court. Final approval comes from the Florida Supreme Court.

We will suppose that you, dear reader, have imposed a certain rule or structure: We'll just call it A. This has undesirable consequences, such as B and C. What to do about B and C? In general, shouldn't your first thought be to lift the rule or remove the structure A?
I'm thinking such thoughts because there are plenty of press reports just now, based upon the usual anonymous sourcing, that say the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is about to announce something big on high-frequency traders, the folks whom some at that agency have nicknamed "cheetahs."
The "something" will presumably come in the form of a concept release listing various options about how to control, or minimize the abuses associated with, HFT.
Certainly the general sense that robots are getting out of hand, and they aren't all acting in accord with Asimov's rules, will have been heightened by the foul-up at Nasdaq last week. Trading on Nasdaq listings came to a dead stop for three hours August 22d because … well, as usual, it isn't exactly clear just why. But it has something to do with computers, surely.
There has also been some unpleasantness at Goldman Sachs.
Free the Ticks & Rethink NMS
But back to the forthcoming concept release: Assuming for the sake of discussion that the anonymice scurrying about and on the line with Bloomberg and Reuters are telling the truth and a concept release does arrive, it is a safe bet that it is unlikely to propose what common sense suggests – it is unlikely to call for the removal of the underlying restrictions. This is in part a matter of inter-agency diplomacy: The CFTC will not want to issue a paper saying "the SEC has to change its rules." But, more than that even, it is an object lesson in How States See.
Let us recall that high-speed trading thrives in a world of mandated small/decimal ticks, of a mandated National Market System, and – a new addition to the menu – of a closed quantitative analysis platform (MIDAS).
The phrase "free markets" is at its best not an adjective and a noun at all, but a verb and an object: Let's free markets. Let us not try to address the problems with HFT by adding new restrictions. There are real problems with HFT as currently practiced, but they are the consequence of some of the existing restrictions, and the former can be resolved by removing or significantly reworking the latter, by for example allowing exchanges or listing firms or a contractual decision involving them both to decide upon the tick size on a security-by-security basis.
In 2010, Reginald Smith wrote a paper asking, "Is high-frequency trading inducing changes in market microstructure and dynamics?" Not only did his paper offer a clear "yes" answer to that question, it suggested a causal relationship.
"We can clearly demonstrate that HFT is having an increasingly large impact on the microstructure of equity trading dynamics….This increase becomes most marked, especially in the NYSE stocks, following the implementation of Reg NMS by the SEC which led to the boom in HFT," Smith wrote.
Free MIDAS
But we could go further, or the CFTC could conceivable go further, and adapt to the 21st century by freeing code and information.
Almost a year ago now the SEC contracted with an HFT firm, Tradeworx, and asked it to build software that will allow the regulators to track stock market data in real time, thus allowing it to keep up with HFT. (And, yes, if you're reminded of an old story about a fox and a chicken coop, you aren't alone.)
This June, Gregg E. Berman of the SEC's Office of Analytics and Research, Division of Trading and Markets, boasted about the results of that experiment when addressing a SIFMA TECH Conference in New York. He also said that the name MIDAS is backronym rather than acronym. You might call the Tradeworx product the "Market Information Data Analytics System" if you like, but the SEC folks responsible for that mouthful "picked MIDAS first and then figured out what the letters meant afterwards."
The idea behind MIDAS is that the public feeds create a consolidated tape that includes in real time the execution of every trade of 100 shares or more, whether executed on or off a public exchange. This will allow, he says, for the monitoring of market activities, forensic analysis of market events, and market structure research.
As consultant Dave Lauer has pointed out, though, the resulting MIDAS , executed by a "small and resource-constrained staff" isn't a game changer. What might be? Lauer suggests the SEC embrace "the principles of the open source movement, and make it cheap and easy to perform studies on market data…."

I ain't your average cat
Fuck rap, I'm trying to make cream, and that's that
(What you talking bout?)
I ain't your average cat
Fuck rap, I'm trying to make cream, and that's that
(That's what I'm talking bout?)
I ain't your average cat
Fuck rap, I'm trying to make cream, and that's that
[Verse 1]
Man, I ain't talking about the Prop
I ain't talking bout the Roc
I don't talk bout mine
Why will I talk on what you got
What you talking bout?
Cause you ain't talking about a lot
And nigga, I'm from the ghetto so I talk about the block
They say in every rhyme that I talk about my Glock
But I squeeze for real and don't do no talking when I pop
"Punta maricon, cabron" then you drop
And I stand on my own, I don't be talking to no cops
And I ain't talking for Chris and I ain't talking for Neef
And I ain't talking for Sparks and I ain't talking for Free
I ain't talking for Crakk, I got words for Oschi
But I ain't talking bout that, I'm talking for me
B Sig the sequel
Better yet, the prequel
Never fear for war
This hog know I squeeze still
For that thing of ours
Till we D.I.E
My brothers keep it like Nino and G
That's what I'm talking bout
[Verse 2]
I'm a grown-ass man; I don't sit on niggas' laps
And I ain't looking for no gifts outta Santa Claus' sack
Santa ain't real - let alone is he black
Catch him coming down my chimney and the Mac'll go Vrack!
(You scared) Get a dog, get a cat
I bet the cat put the tongue on you rats
Niggas extend their hands, put their hands in their lap
Scared to face the man in the mirror: Mike Jack
The mere sight of Beans raise the hairs on your back
Niggas talking "compared to Sig you wack"
Scrap, I know you ain't wanna talk about that
But since niggas talking, let's talk about facts
From the city where it's long dark nights here
Where hard knock life's real
(MJ, Annie are you OK?)
I'm so bad I'm a smooth criminal
I'm a thriller holding a snub with a glove that don't glitter, nigga
[Verse 3]
This ain't a diss record
This a real record
How it feel to get exposed?
Don't you feel naked?
I was the fly on the wall, the shit I witnessed
I could say shit that make B look at you different
And my gangsta wasn't never on trial
But I was, I stood up tall, no snitching
But the rapper Shawn called the police on me
Cause I was front row at the Blueprint 3
I just wanted to see him MC
And reminisce when we was the R.O.C
But he called on the C.O.P's
Not only that, he brought in the F.E.Ds (snitch)
So that's telling me "F.U. Sig"
So F you too and F Bleek 3
See, whether I rap or riddle out this motherfucker
Pack a Gat keep a pistol out this motherfucker
Crack a brick down the middle out this motherfucker
My name good in every hood out this mother fucker
Real rap See, I think I held my tongue long enough
About this whole Roc-A-Fella situation
I was the realest thing that happened to the Roc
The Roc was just a rock
I brought the fellas to Roc-A-Fella Records
Hot 9-7 stay proper, y'all remember
I brought the street cred to that
That thing etched in stone
I fought all them battles, me, that's who
Jadakiss, Nas, Dipset
Anybody you would've told me to go after
Matter of fact you ain't even have to tell me
I front line for that Roc
For that finger guard
For that diamonds that people was throwing up
I'd a took a bullet for Roc that day
This ain't about a dollar
This ain't about me hating on you cuz or anything
Cause I never asked you for a dollar
When I came home from jail
Home, out here in the day
When you ain't come one day to come see me
Not one picture, a letter
I went to the office and asked you
Let me off Roc-A-Fella Records, out that situation
Cause somebody, no man no blame, wanted me
And they wanted to give some real money
And you bounced that tennis ball around in your office for a hour
And went back and forth with me and told me you ain't wanna let me go
You remember that don't you?
You even asked me did I want some money and I told you I don't want your money
But you was in a position to make me get my own money
And you couldn't do that
But Sigel so real
And you will never go to jail again cause you knew I would shoot
If my life was a movie
Sigel be the sequel
You ain't fit for war
Cause Sigel's in the field
It's etched in stone
My gangsta ain't never been on trial
But guess what:
How 2Pac say? I ain't mad at ya
I understand, everybody can't go
And you are already old
Oh, and don't get it fucked up
This ain't the green light for everybody to start making "diss Jay-Z" records
Nah, I still got love for the nigga
This me taking my brother in the yard for 5 minutes
Cause I got a knot in my chest that need to get unloosened
And you got love for a motherfucker don't go away that easy
See, many people gonna walk in and out your life
But only real friends leave footprints on your heart, dog
But I think yours fading in the sand
And that's real rap
And if me and you don't never talk again, dog
And I gotta holla at you via MC on this mic, what up?
How you say? Scream at me
The richest man ain't the one with his first dollar, dogg
It's the one who still got his first friend
Roc-A-Fella for life, nigga
It's the Roc
Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z used to be seemingly inseparable friends. Sigel was a prominent member of Roc-a-fella Records for years and guest-versed on numerous Jay-Z songs. Their relationship has been strained for a while. In 2004, when Sigel did a year in prison, Sigel claims Jay-Z didn't visit him. While they continued to occasionally collaborate after Sigel's return, Sigel's frustration over what he perceived as a lack of proper promotion at Roc-a-fella under Jay-Z recently boiled over
This led Sigel to drop this record aimed at Jay-Z in October 2009. The song samples the beat from Jay-Z's "What We Talking Bout?" off of Blueprint 3 and parallels the structure of Jay-Z's version of the song by constantly explaining what's being talked about (namely, that he's only going after Jay-Z)
Throughout the song, Sigel alludes to past songs that featured both Sigel and Jay-Z: incorporating those songs into a diss record serves to underscore the seriousness of the betrayal which Sigel feels

NHIAA Boys' Basketball: Portsmouth ends Pembroke win streak at 37By HARRY KOZLOWSKI
Special to the Union Leader
January 30. 2014 10:50PM
PEMBROKE — The Portsmouth boys' basketball team ended Pembroke Academy's winning streak at 37 games with a 53-49 win Thursday night.
It was also the first loss at home for the Spartans since falling to Coe-Brown of Northwood in a tournament game on March 10, 2012. The 37 straight wins included six Concord Christmas tournament games this year and last.
The Spartans are 9-1 in Division II while the Clippers improved to 7-2.
Portsmouth's Nick Mackey led all scorers with 19. De'Vonn Wilson-Miles had nine. For Pembroke, Kafani Williams had 16 and Pat Welch added 15.
"You have to hand it to the kids," said Portsmouth coach Jim Mulvey. "Our kids hung in there and that was big.
"The guys were pumped since Tuesday," said Mulvey. "But that's a tribute to Pembroke's program. Not just us but everyone in the state looks up to them."
"Portsmouth has the best outside defense in the league," said Pembroke coach Matt Alosa. "They really do a great job shutting off the baseline."
"And going 3-for-25 from 3-point range was not a bright spot for us," said Alosa. "We have to be more aggressive. We can't settle for outside shots."
Pembroke entered the fourth up 41-37 but with four minutes left, Portsmouth's Pat Glynn hit a trey that put the Clippers up for the first time since the first quarter, 43-41.
Pembroke had one last shot down 52-49 with seven seconds left, but Welch lost the ball out of bounds.

Lexington could not accomplish all its goals if it wasn't for the city's boards and commissions, said Mayor Newell Clark.
Lexington could not accomplish all its goals if it wasn't for the city's boards and commissions, said Mayor Newell Clark.
The 17th Annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, hosted by the Lexington City Council, took place Thursday evening to honor the board and commission members, who by a large percentage serve as volunteers.
"Tonight we are celebrating the public and private partnership throughout the city. We are celebrating you as volunteers who help the city run," Clark said.
Over 110 board and commission members, the highest number yet, received a dinner at the Lexington Municipal Club where Clark was the speaker. He used a poster to direct attention to the council's goal for this budget year and how each commission could look at the list of 10 items and pick out areas where their volunteer assistance was helping move the city forward.
"As we are trying to accomplish the goals, the work of the committees and boards are very important and help to move these goals forward," Clark said.
Clark gave an example of the Lexington Appearance Commission working to beautify the city, which coincides with one of the goals to improve the appearance of the city to grow business recruitment.
Another council goal for the budget year is to create more affordable housing. Members for Habitat for Humanity and the Lexington Community Development Corp. were in attendance at the dinner and recognized by Clark as a driving factor in accomplishing that goal.
"You all have your reasons for why you volunteer. One of the reasons, I hope, is because you love this city. One of the things I heard about when I was coming into office is the amount of community pride. You exemplify that pride and help us show that pride to the community," Clark said.
As he stated, each member had their reasons for volunteering. The answers all shared a common denominator: helping the community in which they live.
"I joined the Lexington Tourism Authority because I want to see growth in Lexington's tourism," said Judy Wimmer, board member of LTA serving the first year of a three-year term.
Reynolds Shoaf, a board member of the Lexington Passenger Rail Committee and the Lexington CDC, had a very similar answer. He has been serving on one board or another for over nine years.
"I want to help this community thrive," Shoaf said.
The boards, commissions, committees and partners recognized at the dinner were: Davidson County Airport Authority; Davidson County Board of Commissioners; Davidson County Community Action Board; Davidson County Economic Development Commission; Davidson County Integrated Solid Waste Advisory Committee; Davidson Progress; Lake Thom-A-Lex Recreation Authority; Lexington Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; Lexington Appearance Commission; Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce; Lexington City Board of Education; Lexington City Government Youth Council; Lexington Habitat for Humanity; Lexington Historic Preservation Commission; Lexington Housing Authority; Lexington Housing Community Development Corp.; Lexington Human Relations Commission; Lexington Passenger Rail Committee; Lexington Planning Board and Board of Adjustment; Lexington Recreation and Parks Advisory; Lexington Redevelopment Commission; Lexington Strategic Planning Committee; Lexington Tourism Authority; Lexington Utilities Commission; N.C. Fireman's Relief Fund; N.C. Municipal Power Agency No. 1; N.C. State Legislative Delegation; Piedmont Triad Partnership Foundation; Piedmont Triad Regional Council; Piedmont Triad Rural Planning Organization; Edward C. Smith Civic Center Board; The Development Company; and Uptown Lexington.

It has been estimated that heat-related events in the Midwest have cost the cattle industry more than $75 million in the past 10 years. With summer temperatures rising, ranchers must be aware of how heat affects their cattle.
According to Deke Alkire, Ph.D., livestock consultant for The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, the ideal temperature range for beef cattle is between 41 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. When temperatures exceed this, cattle are at risk of heat stress.
Environmental factors also play a role in the potential for heat stress including: relative humidity, wind speed, solar radiation, ground cover, access to water, diet, shade and nighttime temperatures. Additionally, individual animal characteristics will affect the potential for heat stress in cattle. Hide color, breed, health, adaptation, hair coat length and disposition all impact cattle's susceptibility to heat stress.
Heat stress can lead to decreased milk production, calf growth, reproductive performance in cows and bulls, and stocker and feeder performance. There are several ways to identify and manage heat stress in cattle. "Fortunately, a lot of these signs are easy to recognize," Alkire said. "The most obvious are cattle congregating in shady areas, standing in ponds, and decreased grazing activity."
Other signs include increased water consumption, decreased weight gain and panting. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Research Service, more than 90 breaths per minute is an indication of heat stress, and a respiration rate of more than 110 indicates a dangerous heat stress level.
To prevent heat stress, Alkire suggested ranchers should make sure that during summer months and dry periods cattle have access to clean, fresh water and plenty of shade. If access to shade is limited, heat stress can be compounded by animals crowding together. Alkire advised against working and transporting cattle during periods of heat stress as well. If the cattle must be worked or moved to a new pasture, early in the morning is the best time, he said.
Since heat stress also can affect the reproductive performance of cows and bulls, ranchers should plan their breeding season around the hottest months, keeping in mind that heat stress can impact semen quality for up to eight weeks.
"Be prepared by planning now for heat stress," Alkire said. "As hot weather approaches, monitor the Heat Stress Forecast developed by the USDA. This is a great tool for predicting the potential for heat stress in livestock because it takes into account wind speed, solar radiation, temperature and humidity to provide an accurate prediction for the region."
Farmers and ranchers can access the Heat Stress Forecast at www.ars.usda.gov/Main/docs.htm?docid=17130.

Bored with yo-yo dieting, Andy tried 10 diets in 50 days in the hope of finding one he could stick to for life.
Andy Leeks set out to lose weight by doing 10 diets in 50 days, and found the only one that really worked was the NHS weight loss plan.
The father of two came up with the pick-and-mix diet idea to see if it would help him remain motivated to keep losing weight.
"By changing my diet regularly, the idea was I'd never get bored, thereby giving myself every chance of success," says Andy, 35, from Kent.
His starting weight was 16 stone (101kg). Over the course of the 50-day experiment, he lost 30.5 pounds (nearly 14kg).
Behind Andy's search for the perfect weight loss method was the desire to put an end to 15 years of yo-yo dieting.
While he lost weight on all of the diets, he felt that the NHS weight loss plan was the only one designed as a plan for life.
"There was only one way of eating out of the 10 that I could stick to long term – and that's the weight loss plan set out by the NHS," he says.
To fit it in with his 50-day timescale, Andy applied the principles of the NHS 12-week weight loss plan, instead of following it to the letter.
The plan is designed to help you lose weight at a safe rate of 0.5kg to 1kg (1lb to 2lb) each week.
"The NHS weight loss plan is basically all the NHS's healthy eating and exercise advice distilled into one handy little structured plan," says Andy.
"It isn't so much a diet as a healthy lifestyle plan that helps you lose weight, but at the same time helps you to develop new, healthier habits."
Andy, with the advice of a nutritionist, selected 10 diets that could be easily researched on the internet and did not involve payment.
They were the:
Andy followed each diet for five days before moving on to the next one – hoping the approach would keep him interested.
The exercise component of his weight loss journey was to run 5km during each five-day diet phase. "I ended up running 50km in total and my time improved by just under seven minutes from the first run to the last," he says.
During his five days following the NHS advice, Andy applied the weight loss plan's healthy eating principles, which include:
He says the NHS advice helped him get a better understanding of food labels, which proved useful when trying to make healthier choices at the supermarket.
Some of the meals Andy ate while on the NHS regime included:

Andy says following the NHS advice had minimal impact on the rest of his family because he was eating the same food they were.
"Unlike many of the diets I tried, no foods were banned," he says. "You simply eat the same meals – healthy, balanced meals – but in smaller portions.
"If I had a craving for something sweet, I would give in to that craving, but I'd only eat a small amount. I never felt guilty about it."
Apart from the NHS advice, many of the diets he tried involved avoiding certain foods or eating the same type of food over and over.
"By restricting anything, it leads to resentment and anxiety, and makes you crave the very food you're trying to avoid," he says.
"While these diets were easy to stick to for five days, I just couldn't see myself following them for very long.
"For me it was clear that for long-term success, the NHS weight loss advice is the diet that should be followed.
"The beauty is that once you've reached your desired weight, you carry on eating this way. There's nothing to change."
Andy's experiment was fuelled by a desire to find a lifelong healthy eating plan to manage his weight as an alternative to crash diets.
"I was forever losing weight by dieting and then subsequently regaining it, because once I came off the diet I was back to square one," he says.
"I was still the same person with the same sweet tooth, the same appetite, but no better equipped to manage my weight."
After completing his 50-day weight loss adventure, Andy says he is now managing his weight by applying the principles of the NHS weight loss plan.
"The NHS plan equips you with the skills to keep the weight off by helping you to develop healthier habits and teaching you to make healthier choices."
He has recorded his dieting tribulations in detail in his book Minimize Me – 10 Diets to Lose 25lbs in 50 Days.

LODI - Trustees in Lodi Unified are grappling over how to pay for one of the school district's most influential programs after learning the state will no longer fund the six-figure cost to run it.
LODI - Trustees in Lodi Unified are grappling over how to pay for one of the school district's most influential programs after learning the state will no longer fund the six-figure cost to run it.
Lodi Unified has long touted its Advanced Via Individual Determination program as a step ahead for "middle of the road" students who need an extra push toward achieving higher marks on their report cards and in learning how to navigate their way into a college or a career path.
Students meet in an AVID home room daily and receive tutoring from peers and college students. Teachers are trained by the nationally operated AVID coordinators to keep up with how to best work with teens who need help and to learn new teaching strategies.
The state pulled funding in its upcoming budget, meaning Lodi Unified will have to pay for AVID out of its general fund. That could mean cutting another program.
Proponents say the program's success rates - where grades improve for more than 90 percent of students - prove the program's worth.
Take the Martin brothers, for example. Ricardo Martin is a junior at California State University, Stanislaus, where he is studying engineering and learning how to build laser technology.
Martin said he is a product of AVID, and didn't know he was college material until he enrolled in the program. He is the first in his family to go to college.
"It created great expectations for me," he said "It really changed my life."
Now, he's going back to Tokay as a tutor. His brothers, Alex Martin, a freshman, and Daniel Martin, a junior, are both following in his footsteps, he said.
Their story is one of inspiration to AVID proponents.
"I am an adamant supporter of AVID, and my perspective is that it has enough value that it should have a funding priority," Trustee Bonnie Cassel said.
However, it comes with a price of about $219,000 a year to pay tutors for 1,300 students at 22 AVID schools within Lodi Unified, even as a grant covers most of the membership and training fees.
With the state no longer picking up that tab, the program is getting more scrutiny because the district's budget leaves little to no wiggle room.
"The thing about AVID's success rates is that students get kicked out if they aren't doing the required work," Trustee Ron Heberle said. "Those students are the ones that are not succeeding, and the numbers don't account for them."
Heberle said he's not against AVID. He's a supporter, but it's a financial decision, and he has asked staff to find out if the district could create its own AVID-like program.
Cassel said she doesn't think the district's curriculum department is staffed adequately to build a new curriculum.
AVID is a copyrighted program that cannot be used without membership, district curriculum director Lisa Kotowski said.
"I think if we wanted to, we could build a class that uses AVID-like principles and expand it," Heberle said, adding that he wants to see the program at more than 22 schools. "I'd like to see if we can offer this everywhere in our (53-school) district."
AVID is a nationally operated program that charges school districts a membership fee, and also requires the hiring of part-time tutors.
Tutors are often college students who earn a union-level wage or high school aged "peer tutors" who earn minimum wage for their time.
"AVID is already set up and ready to go," Trustee Joe Nava said. "I think right now we need to focus on how to pay for that."
School administrators are hopeful trustees will make a firm commitment soon.
"We need to know if we're offering the classes or not," Tokay High Principal Erik Sandstrom said.

The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University continues its series of Sunday afternoon lectures related to the exhibition, "The Picturesque and War: Visual and Literary Aspects of 19th Century Tourism." Dr. Thomas Chambers will give a lecture and sign books from 2 until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4, at the Castellani Art Museum.
Chambers, pictured, will discuss his recently published book, "Memories of War: Visiting Battlegrounds and Bonefields in the Early American Republic."
In "Memories of War," Chambers recounts America's rediscovery of its early national history through the rise of battlefield tourism in the first half of the nineteenth century. Perhaps no other part of the U.S. saw more battles during the War of 1812 than the Niagara River borderland in Western New York. In later years its decaying fortifications and overgrown battlefields provided reminders of the struggle's bloodshed and indecisive conclusion.
Tourists traveling to Niagara Falls visited nearby Fort Niagara, Queenston Heights or Lundy's Lane constructing the war's memory in the process. As one visitor wrote during an 1821 trip to Niagara, "This beautiful country stimulates my patriotism." Battlefields and monuments on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border became sites where Americans, and especially New Yorkers, came to understand why the War of 1812 mattered, and how they could remember its fallen heroes. Their emotional responses to place and history at Niagara's battlefields both honored veterans and neglected the war's causes. Memories of 1812 envisioned a peaceful border between two nations that had once shed each other's blood.
Chambers is associate professor of history and department chair at Niagara University. He took his Ph.D. and M.A. at the College of William and Mary, and earned his B.A. at Middlebury College. He currently serves as chairman of the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area Commission, and has been active in the 1812 Legacy Council.
"The Picturesque and War: Visual and Literary Aspects of 19th Century Niagara Tourism" and related programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is sponsored, in part, by the Niagara 1812 Bicentennial Legacy Council, the Canadian Consulate General and Old Glory Flag & Banner, a division of Cooper Sign Company (Niagara Falls, N.Y.). The exhibition runs through Feb. 24, 2013.

There is something very personal about World AIDS Day in New York City, now being commemorated for its 29th year. Many of us remember the stigma and devastation that accompanied the AIDS pandemic in the 1980s. Many of us had friends, neighbors, and family we watched struggle, fight, and ultimately succumb to this unforgiving illness. But beyond remembrance, we vow to keep moving forward until we reach zero in diagnoses and deaths.
The encouraging news is that new HIV diagnoses are overall declining. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 2008-2014 there was a 18% drop in annual infections across the country. And yet, there continues to be 50,000 new HIV infections each year in the US. New infections disproportionately affect minorities, young men of color and, especially in the South, women. Dishearteningly, only four in 10 people living with HIV (PWH) in the US have received HIV medical care and only three in 10 PWH have achieved viral suppression, meaning they are compliant with antiretroviral drugs to reduce the virus in their bodies – helping them be healthier and reducing the chances of passing on the virus.
Here in New York City, with the help of millions of additional dollars in funding to increase HIV prevention, health care and other support services, the number of new HIV diagnoses has hit a historic low. In 2015, fewer than 2,500 NYC residents were newly diagnosed, which is less than half the number of new diagnoses in 2001. The lesson we have learned is that great progress can be made with leadership, commitment and funding to achieve our goals.
An equally, if not more important lesson we have learned is that social determinants of health largely drive the epidemic. Things like food insecurity, lack of stable housing and unemployment may put people at risk for becoming infected in the first place and then work against individuals engaging and remaining in care once infected.
Access to nutrition, in particular, can turn the situation around for PWH. Research in NYC that we conducted with the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University demonstrates that when PWH are properly nourished, their health outcomes improve, their well-being improves and their reliance on emergency rooms and hospitals goes down. In a study published in AIDS Care, the provision of nutritious meals was shown to be important in helping people living with HIV (PWH) adhere to their treatment while also improving health outcomes. And a recent pilot done in San Francisco showed an increased adherence to antiretroviral therapy (from 47-70% adherence), a reduction in hospital stays (63%), and a reduction in ER visits (36%) for those who received medically tailored nutrition. These are the results that we see every day for PWH on our program of medically tailored meals at God's Love We Deliver.
Unfortunately, even with research demonstrating the effectiveness of food and nutrition services, too many PWH remain food insecure. Medicaid in most states and private insurance available through exchanges do not provide the wrap-around social supports that help deliver lower healthcare costs and positive health outcomes for PWH. Medicaid does not cover immigrants (except in certain states). Furthermore, only a little more than half the states in the nation have opted to expand Medicaid, and much has been written on what that failure will mean for the health of PWH in those states. The only dedicated source of federal funding for medically tailored nutrition for PWH, the Ryan White Care Act, does not cover all those who come to food and nutrition services agencies in need. Many agencies have instituted waiting lists.
World AIDS Day will always be a day that we commemorate those we have lost, it must also be one where we band together in support of progress. We need funding to provide services to all PWH who need support, while we reduce stigma and pilot research that demonstrates the impact that social determinants of health have in achieving viral suppression because when PWH are virally suppressed, they do not pass the HIV virus to others. Essential to our "getting to zero" – with no new transmissions of HIV – is our focus on social determinants of health. In particular, for those PWH who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves, we must ensure access to nutritious meals. Our goal is zero and we won't stop until we get there.

Anne Arundel County had its fourth fire fatality this year on Friday after a 72-year-old man died five days after being found with third-degree burns in his home, according to county fire department officials.
On Sunday morning at 9:30, firefighters were dispatched to a dwelling fire in the 600 block of Sunset Strip of the Brooklyn area, where they found Brice Clements with second- and third-degree burns to both arms and his upper torso in a room. Both the room and its contents were on fire. More firefighters were dispatched to the scene, and ultimately 25 brought the incident under control.
Clements was transported by ambulance to Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center in Baltimore with life-threatening injuries. He died on Friday, fire officials said.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but officials said that it originated in the bedroom and added that smoke alarms did not activate because the fire was minimal in size.

What strikes me is that every search engine I used had nothing about bacobro, bacobro.txt, bacobro!!!.txt, bacobro!!!.text. Neither did virusalert (duth site that has info about almost every virus released).
I hate to ask this, but are you sure it a virus? My 2 cents say that its from a program, otherwise how would it survive a format. (I know programs that have that capability but there are very few.)
Just out of curiosity: Did you try to open it?
On a side note: Check out the describtion that Yahoo! gives us , look under the first result . And we keep asking how script kiddies keep showing up here

A while back I did a rush job for a game at my local store. Basically I had 2 days or so to paint up 2 rhinos and 10 troops (I also did an inquisitor rhino with an ordo xenos kill team for my girlfriend so she could play) and for myself I did a Chaos Renegades squad for myself, heavily themed on the Road Warrior. Seeing there were two Lord Humungouses here, I decided to post pictures to them for your enjoyment. I\'m not really looking for critique, since I more or less painted these to play with, and to have the coolest looking squads on the table ;) but I always welcome any comments and criticism. (PS. I got my butt handed to me on a silver platter by a squad of Khorne berzerkers.. but I looked good dying :D )

TORONTO (AP) — Greta Gerwig stood on the stage of the Ryerson Theatre at the Toronto International Film Festival, wiping back tears from the roaring standing ovation that greeted her directorial debut, "Lady Bird."
Gerwig was already a successful actress and a proven screenwriter, having co-written several films including two with Noah Baumbach ("Frances Ha" and "Mistress America"). But her leap into directing, she said, took some gumption.
"When I finished this (script), I thought, you know what, I've always wanted to direct. And I never felt ready. I never felt like I had enough experience, enough time, enough hours under my belt, enough time being around other directors on set," said Gerwig at the premiere. "And then I thought: it's time to jump, kid. You've got to do it. Even though it's scary, you have to give yourself a chance."
"Lady Bird," an autobiographical coming-of-age tale written and directed by Gerwig and starring Saoirse Ronan, is one of the films that has indie distributor A24 poised to again be a major player through awards season. After its first best-picture nominee two years ago (the Brie Larson-led "Room") and Barry Jenkins' best-picture winning "Moonlight" last year, A24's blistering streak may well continue.
Both of those films made landfall at Telluride and then made their biggest splash at the Toronto International Film Festival. The same has also been true of "Lady Bird," which is backed by producer Scott Rudin. It's been hailed for its witty, honest portrait of a high school senior (a show-stopping Ronan) trying to breaking free of her youth while discovering acting and feuding with her mother (an extraordinary Laurie Metcalf).
"I wanted to make a film about home and the way home is only vivid when you're leaving. My home growing up was Sacramento so I felt like it was very underrepresented in the cinematic universe," said Gerwig, chuckling. "I felt like nobody had made the Sacramento opus and it was time."
While the Toronto International Film Festival is too sprawling for any one company to dominate, several recent festivals have often felt overwhelmed by Netflix or Amazon — the new deep-pocketed new heavyweights in film distribution. But Toronto has come close to belonging to A24.
A24 will also premiere the finished cut of James Franco's anticipated comedy "The Disaster Artist" (it played as an unfinished film at SXSW earlier in the year) at a midnight screening in Toronto on Monday night. The rest of its Toronto roster includes Sean Baker's acclaimed "The Florida Project," a hit in May at Cannes; Yorgos Lathimos' "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell; Andrew Haigh's latest "Lean on Pete" and the Kirsten Dunst-starring "Woodshock."
The success of the slate stems directly from A24's filmmaker-first attitude. Like it did with Jenkins, putting trust in the right talented young filmmakers is paying off.
"There's numbers for everything now," said Willem Dafoe, star of "The Florida Project." ''Movies can be bull---- but movies can also do a beautiful thing. They can change our minds about things. They can challenge how they think. In order to do that, they have to be made by original thinkers and they can't be made by logarithms."
A24 has by no means cornered the market on filmmaker-driven cinema. Sony Pictures Classics ("Call Me By Your Name"), Fox Searchlight ("The Shape of Water"), Focus Features ("Darkest Hour") and even major studios like Paramount Pictures ("Downsizing"), have all played major roles at this year's Toronto. Other upstarts are also making noise, like Neon, which acquired the Tonya Harding tale "I, Tonya," and Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios, which grabbed the Ted Kennedy drama "Chappaquiddick."
But A24 has established itself as an annual festival and awards season force.
"It's hard to get films like this made and I'm glad that they are," said Kidman. "In this cinematic world, there needs to be some voices. It's so diluted now. There are certain things that just don't get made or don't get talked about. So it's like: Yeah, come on."
