Government Affairs Albany Update
June 4, 2010
PfJ Stalemate
The two week PfJ extender expired on June 2, and Governor Paterson has said that he will not approve a new, two week extender that was passed this week by both houses of the state legislature, see S.8008 (Rules)/A.11315 (Cahill), which would extend the programs as is through June 16, 2010. Without gubernatorial approval of this extension, PfJ benefits will not be available until and unless a replacement program is adopted.
The Governor signed the initial extender in anticipation of legislative negotiations progressing over the past two weeks. Instead, the Assembly passed A.11172, which The Business Council opposed, which would create an energy benefit program dependent upon annual approval of funding by NYPA's board, rather than a redeployment of NYPA hydropower and a power allocation-based program.
The Business Council continues to support the approach taken in the joint Administration/Senate bill (the updated version is S.8065 sponsored by Senators Aubertine and Maziarz). We continue to push for Assembly support for S.8065, and are meeting with individual Assembly members on this issue.
We welcome advocacy support by Council members that are PfJ and/or economic development power program participants, or that are interested in seeing adoption of a broader, permanent economic development power program.
Prevailing Wage Expansion Bill
Legislation that would extend public works prevailing wage requirements to private sector utilities, S.7096-A (Scheiderman)/A. 10257-A (Gianaris), passed the Senate this week on a 33-28 near party-line vote (Senator Padavan voted with the Democratic conference Senator Morahan was excused).
This bill would apply prevailing wage requirements to public utilities on non-public works by redefining utilities as public agencies, and broadly expands the list of occupations that are required to be paid prevailing wage by a public agency. The prevailing wage requirements would apply to individuals not directly employed by the utilities, including contractors and their employees. The estimated impact on just three of the state's utility companies would exceed $37 million annually, costs that would be passed on to business and utility ratepayers. The sponsor's memo for the legislation offers no rationale for redefining a private sector company as a public agency for the purpose of wage mandates, but the precedent is one that all private sector employers should be concerned about. The bill is currently referred to the Assembly Labor Committee.
Employer Choice Group and Blanket Disability Insurance
The Business Council is supporting legislation, S.4770 (Breslin)/A.8543 (Morelle), which would provide employers the choice of selecting certain types of group and blanket disability policies. Due to a recent NYS Court of Appeals decision (Benesowitz v. Metropolitan Life) New York is the only state in the nation that mandates coverage for preexisting conditions in group and blanket disability policies. The mandated coverage clearly places New York state businesses at a competitive disadvantage because it makes providing this type of insurance more costly, and in some instances, unaffordable for employers and employees.

The idea of a learning curve suggests smooth and inexorable progress in acquiring new skills or knowledge… and completely misses out all the dips and plateaux and sudden leaps that tend to happen in real life.
Last night I was dancing tango at a milonga (i.e. a tango-dancing party ), and got a bit demoralised because I didn't seem able to do anything I'd been so proud of myself for learning lately. I had started to feel I was, though not an expert, past the beginner stage and able to dance a creditable tango. But for some reason it just wasn't working. Despite trying to follow, I kept misreading what I was being asked to do and either pausing or heading off in the wrong direction. And I was frustrated, and felt fairly sure my partner was frustrated too.
It was made harder by the fact that I felt very conspicuous – the first dance I did I was one of three couples in a room of where about 50 people were watching, and the other dancers were all really really good! I'm not normally self-conscious, but I'm at such an early stage with tango that it did get to me a bit. The fact that I knew very few men at the milonga and so didn't get invited to dance very often didn't help much either!
But I'm getting better at this learning lark, and recognised a dip when I saw one. And so I refused to let myself be discouraged, and compared my abilities to previous times when I'd felt bad about my skills, rather than the times when I'd briefly felt I knew what I was doing.
On the way home I deliberately expressed my frustration about not dancing as well as I had hoped to. Which was useful, because people explained that dancing at a milonga is often harder than dancing in a class because there is so much less space, which means that the leader often ends up having to do unexpected things (e.g. stopping to wait until there's space) that wouldn't be necessary in a class. Which helped too – clearly dancing like that in milongas is a slightly different skill I need to work on!
And finally, the eternal advice "get back on the horse again".
So enough blogging – I'm off to another milonga tonight!

A New Read
I just started a new book, and am almost halfway through it. It is soooo good. I can hardly put it down (no wondor I'm not getting any knitting done)but......spending time with Mom yesterday and going for a haircut helped to eat up my day. (more excuses ). We stopped at Barnes and Noble and I hovered over a couple of knitting books I am hoping to buy on EBay. I did find them but one of them looked a little tattered in the sellers picture and the other was almost the price of a new one. There is something so peaceful about knitting, untill I make a mistake and my eyes fill up with tears as I realize I have to do the impossibly hard task of ripping my tranquility out of existence and doing so exactly within the pattern. Whew !! what a job for a novice without any teacher handy. To give credit where the credit belongs, I know if God where not with me, helping me, I would be paying $$$ for help. I have come close to yelling "uncle" for sure, but send up ernest prayer that He hears and answers. Thankyou Jesus!......Back to this book I am reading, "If I gained the world" by Linda Nichols.....Is a story about an unwed Mom who is a genuine person, loving and truehearted, oh I just can't do this book justice. It's one I would love to own, and am sorry to see the author has only one other book published. Sometimes though I expect an author to keep churning out one awesome book after another and ......maybe yes...and maybe no. This book is Christian fiction and a Crossings Book Club Edition. If you are a reader....This is a 5 star....in my book.

Tom Ford Menswear FW11 Collection
1:56 PM 0 comments
Credible in fashion design as the once creative director of Gucci from 1994-2004, Tom Ford departed ways from italian based fashion house to pursue his own label, which we now know as Tom Ford Menswear. Created & introduced in 2005, the Tom Ford Menswear collections have become closely associated with sophisticated, classical designs of men's formal attire. With 21 existing retail locations in New York, Milan, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Dubai, Zurich and Russia; the Ford name is one that is greatly respected & credibly successful in high end fashion. For the FW11 fashion season, dark tones, plaid & quilted coats were seen on the runways & are thoughtfully introduced throughout this collection. Modeled by Jon Kortajarena, each look within the collection allows the Tom Ford style signature to be greatly pronounced & profoundly represented.
Velvet blazers in rich navy are seen alongside navy plaid as wool coats, blazers & pants are matched to shades of purple. With cashmere sweaters being seen alongside slight use of print, in the form of paisley; the set is tremendously developed from the first look to the last. Suede coats, fitted denim & signature eyewear are also style elements seen in the collection; providing any fashion conscious consumer enough inspiration to last far beyond the fall season. In his role as Designer, Tom Ford has had an incredibly large influence on the way we view style in the world of high fashion & that influence is seen in the pieces created & duplicatd by fast fashion retailers like H&M, Uniqlo & Forever 21. The style seen represented with this collection can be substituted with like pieces for those who may not be willing to drop dime on pieces that come with such a hefty price tag.

So previously, on other blogs I had discussed with some of my followers/fellow bloggers the possibility of me, creating a children's book.
Special shout out to Rhonda Sittig, thesecretblogofa30yearold, Momentum of Jo, She-Ra, Milly Schmidt, and The Story Reading Ape for your desire to stay updated on this and/or your posts on publishing.
Well the series has (begun to) come to life Here
My goal with the book was three fold:
- Change a child's life and allow them to express themselves
- Use the skills I already know and use in therapy with parents with the world
- Keep the books simple and low cost.
Well, I am happy to say, missions accomplished. At least in my opinion. This project has blown up bigger than I could have expected. So how did all begin?
I work working with a child patient for the nth time on behavioral concerns, as well as the parent. I went online to research a topic and tool for the child- a social story of sorts. Apparently I wanted too much. I needed it to entertain him (coloring component), allow him to think critically (fill in component), allow him to identify emotions (emotions chart), and I needed mom/dad to track him reading it weekly. I ended up custom making the book myself, printing out a tracker, giving verbal praise and encouragement suggestions to mom. WHY WASN'T THIS A BOOK ALREADY!
I went to sleep the night after implementing the book in 1:1. Other Doc Therapists and MFT Therapists wanted my book. People often ask for my materials…Then light bulb! My husband knows how to draw very well, I have the training and skills. Why not make a book for all and share with the world? I can include all the elements I share with parents and caregivers and they can use the book with the child. Before you know it I had over 20 book topics in 2 minutes, spread over two series: "Simply Feelings" and "Tough Topics". Currently, "Simply Feelings" has two books on Amazon as of today: "Little Brother Bothers Me…Sometimes" and "Big Brother Bothers Me…Sometimes". We are working on the "Big Sister" and "Little Sister" version as well, but it will take some time as we are making all new characters for the kids.
Here's an exclusive sneak peak at the "Emotions Chart"
The first "Tough Topics" book will be out in the next week, and covers Flooding (yes, as in the natural disasters we have been seeing left and right). The Flood story book will also have a charity component for each book purchased…so I can donate books at cost, and give to flood victim areas. In addition, it has a breath exercise to reduce anxiety, and a breath exercise tracker so children can practice.
The books are 6.98 each, if you'd like one for your child or a child you know, feel free to purchase one on:amazon, barnesandnoble.com, or here at createspace. Searching Dr.Keke under BOOKS will always bring up our latest books. -Age range is approximately 4-7.
Thanks for your support and inspiration,
I hope this aids some parents and children in "recouping" mentally, so they are able to "conquer" the world.
~Dr.K or Dr. Keke (as the kiddos say)

The best food intake for muscle building - Muscle Building Program
In this respect bet on proven curd and milk As regards the carbohydrates, where the situation is simple Pasta, potatoes, rice, oatmeal, these are all foods that you again so much will happen. On the other hand, there is always a small problem. To actually recommend supplements. In discussions sometimes passes the view that when a person is eating a kilo of beef a day, then let the looks supplements. I do not know, but if I had a kilo of beef a day, I'd probably protein powder coughed. I think conversely, paradoxically, that represent a great advantage accessories for less affluent clientele. Whether you want to or not, protein powder still comes a little cheaper than chicken breast from Babies. Is beef Proteins Pile of you are in college or just after it, and work, and thus the supply of banknotes is that all sorts. So even the diet sticking with all due effort as possible

After five long years, the princes of indie have released their fourth studio album, Angles. Apparently a "much needed break" did the boys of The Strokes well. They started out strong with 2001's Is This It, waned a little with First Impressions of Earth and Room on Fire, but they're bringin' it back. Hardcore.
These long band hiatuses (hiatii?) seem to go one of three ways: A) The band never reforms (Smashing Pumpkins, Guns and Roses), B) they reform and it's tragic (Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots), or C) they reform and it's awesome! This definitely falls into the latter category.
The album definitely starts off on the right foot with a space-aged, yet 70's glam rock inspired tune, "Machu Pichhu". Mix Duran Duran and the better songs of the Police with David Bowie and The Who a la the trippy Tommy days, and this is what you get. The New Yorkers manage to rock right the fuck out without being overproduced or pretentious.
"Under the Cover of Darkness", their first single from the album is a poppy, upbeat track that makes toe tapping inevitable…it's just that catchy. This album really does bring me back to the Is This It days. Not since 2001 have I heard them simply play so well together. They genuinely sound like they're enjoying themselves, and that makes me enjoy myself more. What could have been a potentially disastrous clash of ideas becomes an eclectic, yet cohesive, album.
I'm also diggin' the neo-funk "Taken For A Fool" and the bouncy "Gratisfation". Really, there's not a terrible song on this album, some just stand out more than others. It's good to see them back together and recognizing their strengths. Why get back together just to make shitty music? They get back to the roots and all the good stuff that made them irresistible, radio-friendly wonders: unbeatable hooks, catchy choruses, retro guitars, Julian Casablanca's sexy vocals, and simple rhythms.
This album is good stuff all around. Definitely not a waste of your time, money, hard drive space, or bandwith. In fact, you can listen to the whole album over on their Myspace. It even gets a good solid A from That Girl With A Blog. You can check out all the latest news over on their site or Facebook. Give The Strokes another chance!

Several Mayor Hodges campaign staffers quit as Election Day approaches
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Early voting starts Friday morning in Minneapolis for a variety of contests, including mayor.
More than a dozen candidates are trying to oust Mayor Betsy Hodges from office. Just as the voting polls prepare to open, reports of staffers quitting Hodges' re-election campaign have surfaced.
Hodges' communications director, Alex West Steinman, confirmed several staffers left the campaign, but says the campaign team is fully staffed.
A former staffer told Fox 9 two campaign workers allegedly resigned in the last few days because they weren't being paid.
Hodges' campaign spokeswoman says that's not true writing quote, "We have never missed payroll agreements, and we will continue to honor our agreements with staff and consultants."
But a former staffer told Fox 9 the mayor's campaign is a mess. He says he left for many reasons including quote, "She was $70,000 in the hole at the beginning of the year and her campaign infrastructure was non-existent. Betsy Hodges will blame everyone but herself for the situation she is in, but it is clear that her and her team put themselves in this situation."
Despite the turmoil, one political expert says she can still win.
"If she can get probably about 22 percent of the vote in the election and is the second choice of most people voting in Minneapolis, she probably wins the election," said Professor David Schultz of Hamline University.
Professor Schultz says he's done the math several different ways and with the rank choice voting in place, Hodges still has the best chance of winning in Minneapolis.
Schultz says her challengers have not made a huge splash in this race.
"[The voters] don't know all the other alternative candidates and there's that old expression," said Schultz. "It's better to have the devil you know rather than the devil you don't know."
Early voting starts on Friday and this year marks the first time for no excuse absentee voting, which means you don't need a statutory reason to vote early. For more information on early voting, click here.

I was at the pool today, swimming my laps in the attempt to forestall the onslaught of MS spasms. While I was there, I saw a fellow "one of us" arrive in a wheelchair, with a helper of some sort, a young lifeguard or physio or something. He spent time leading her around the pool, letting her kick her legs, stand with support, get her unwilling muscles moving.
And all the way around, she was charming him. Joking, smiling, trying to please him.
As we all do. We all tell people we're doing "just fine", we joke about the times we wobble over or burn pots or forget what we were saying or miss the point or have to struggle to walk. And if someone is with us, we try even harder, pulling our lips back, grinning and joking, trying to be charming so that our helpers will stay with us, look after us, enjoy our company.
It's a terrible responsibility, this need to be cheerful through the trials of chronic illness.
But we want company, assistance, friends, so we joke along, not revealing as much of ourselves as we need to to be truly understood in case those around us understand and leave us, alone, in the water, to flounder.

I found out that there were no close relatives with a key to the house and that her son had put in all sorts of bars and locks to keep her safe in her house, so I sent the fire department on the way over to her and stayed on the line chatting with her so she could stay awake and engaged, and to provide a little companionship. It was actually she who did most of the talking as the firefighters did their work to get a door off the hinges to help her out. She told me tales of Towson in her childhood, which was just after the turn of the century - the one before the Y2K - and how they would ride in horse-drawn sleighs, how the farmers came to town on Saturday afternoons for a haircut and supplies and stayed to watch a movie and have a beer or two, and how they would picnic on the courthouse grounds on sunny summer Sundays. It was all fascinating.
Her son must have hired the people who did security for Donald Trump's casinos, because it seemed to take forever to get into that house without busting things all to heck. The lady was getting chilly and tired as she related the stories to me on the phone, and then at one point, with just the slightest pause, she said, "Do you think the firemen have given up on getting in here?"
All I could think to say was, "Ma'am, you must not know any firefighters. They will not give up on getting to you."
|FF Falkenhan
Whether it's as a career, paid firefighter, which Falkenhan was before he left the County to work for the Secret Service, or as a volunteer, his current capacity, firefighters have always gone, and will always go to great risk to protect the lives of others. It's what they do. It's an American concept all the way, people volunteering in their neighborhood to help with fires and other emergencies, and it dates all the way back to Benjamin Franklin. It's a harrowing business, fighting fires, and yet those men and women who today are preparing to take Mark Falkenhan to his rest are ready to do the same tomorrow.

Turner Network Television Latam has announced a licensing agreement with Pandora for rights to 16 pics. The films will be part of the network's new franchise, TNT Independent.
The deal includes Mexico's "Like Water for Chocolate," Brazil's "O Quatrilho" and "Four Days in September," "Kolya" and "The Young Poisoner's Handbook."
Continuing its expansion spree, German kidvid provider RTV announced Monday that it has snapped up rights to the local Internet cult figure Moorhuhn.
In an alliance with Teutonic computer game and software outfit Phenomedia, the company has won the global TV, merchandising, audio and video rights for the wildly popular online character. Financial details were not disclosed.
The company said that it had already signed on Ravensburger Interactive Media (RIM) and Ravensburger's game-publishing division for licensing deals. RIM also will develop new versions of the popular online game "Moorhuhnjagd."
RTV and Phenomedia plan to produce a number of TV formats using the character and have begun talks with several German stations about distribution.
Indian Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley told reporters Friday that "the draft of the Indian Broadcast Bill is ready and we are improving the legislative framework as far as broadcasting policy is concerned."
Meanwhile, a report prepared by the Indian Chambers of Commerce committee on entertainment and broadcasting said that foreign equity limitation of 20% in broadcasting ventures must be lifted and increased foreign equity should be allowed.
ONdigital, the U.K. digital terrestrial TV platform, signed up 673,000 subscribers by March 31, a three-month increase of 22%.

The Myth of the Medieval Jewish Moneylender pp 147-173 | Cite as
From Gift Exchange to Profit Economy Reconsidered: Toward a Cultural History of Money
Chapter 3 discussed three classics in medieval economic history that appeared in the 1970s: Robert Lopez's The Commercial Revolution of the Middle Ages, 950–1350 (1971), Georges Duby's Early Growth of the European Economy (1973), and Lester Little's Religious Poverty and the Profit Economy (1978).2 Lopez was presented as representative of the broad and path-breaking scholarship in medieval economic history in the mid-twentieth century, and his monograph Commercial Revolution of the Middle Ages as a synthesis of the scholarship on the high medieval expansion of trade, markets, and money by a generation of medieval economic and business historians on both sides of the Atlantic. Duby and Little were discussed as representatives of the trajectory flowing from Polanyi (and Mauss), which expanded the definition of economy beyond the categories of money, market, and trade. Duby in his Early Growth of the European Economy applied the sociological concept of "gift exchange" to early medieval economy, and in the conclusion contrasted this early medieval "gift economy" with Lopez's commercial "takeoff" of the High Middle Ages. Little adopted Duby's juxtaposition of early medieval "gift economy" and high medieval "profit economy" as the starting point for a study of the social and cultural effects of the commercial revolution.3 Little posited that the radical economic transition from a gift economy to a profit economy generated a disjuncture between the new socioeconomic realities and a traditional, unresponsive clergy and theology resulting in a "spiritual crisis of medieval urban culture."4

Lighthouse Bay by Kimberley Freeman
Plot Summary (via Fantastic Fiction) : "From the author of Wildflower Hill, this breathtaking novel travels more than a century between two love stories set in the Australian seaside town of Lighthouse Bay.
In 1901, a ship sinks off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The only survivor is Isabella Winterbourne, who clutches a priceless gift meant for the Australian Parliament. This gift could be her ticket to a new life, free from the bonds of her husband and his overbearing family. But whom can she trust in Lighthouse Bay? Fast-forward to 2011: after losing her lover, Libby Slater leaves her life in Paris to return to her hometown of Lighthouse Bay, hoping to gain some perspective and grieve her recent loss. Libby also attempts to reconcile with her sister, Juliet, to whom she hasn't spoken in twenty years. Libby did something so unforgivable, Juliet is unsure if she can ever trust her sister again. In these two adventurous love stories, both Isabella and Libby must learn that letting go of the past is the only way to move into the future. The answers they seek lie in Lighthouse Bay".
Review : This is a story about women – about their capacity to be good, strong people, who make choices they have to live with: as mothers, sisters, friends and citizens. An absolutely wonderful read. I like to read about Australian locations, and the Sunshine Coast is a wonderful location.
I heartily recommend this book if you are after a well-written easy to follow, yet intriguing story

Perhaps the biggest engima - or at least second to Supreme Leader Snoke - is just who the heck is this Rey girl who can wield The Force like no other in Star Wars: The Force Awakens?
Rey is able to resist Kylo Ren, a practitioner of The Dark Side; she's able to wield a lightsaber; able to Force Pull the lightsaber; able to fly and fix the Millennium Falcon; able to defender herself; has Force visions, and the list goes on and on.
It might be fair to say that Rey might be the most powerful Force wielder ever?
With that said, let's take a look at some popular theories as to the identity of Rey.
1. Han and Leia's daughter: While it was said in the movie that Rey looked up to Han as a father figure, it's doubtful Rey is actually the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia, as it's probably a safe bet both Han and Leia would realize Rey to be their "long lost" daughter (if they had one). Plus, that would make Han and Leia even worse parents than originally thought (Kylo Ren, ahem).
2. Luke Skywalker's daughter: Just about the entire movie seems to allude to the fact that Rey is Luke's daughter. Rey is on the Light Side of The Force, she battles the bad guy, she finds Luke's lightsaber (or the lightsaber finds her), she goes on a quest to find Luke, Maz tells her she has seen her eyes before, and of course, she finds Luke at the end of the movie. However, this theory could just be too obvious, with perhaps Abrams and Disney trying to steer us in the wrong direction.
3. Relative Of Obi-Wan (via Yahoo): Could Rey be related somehow to Obi-Wan Kenobi? It's possible, and there is even one fan-theory suggesting Rey may be the daughter of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi's own daughter; however, we haven't heard anything about Obi-Wan having a daughter in any of the movies, have we?
4. Reborn Anakin/Darth Vader (via Inquisitor): Another fan-theory suggests Rey may actually be a reincarnated Anakin Skywalker. I'm not sure how much merit this holds as we've seen Anakin's Force Ghost; however, it's alway possible that Snoke may have a Dark Side power of bringing back the dead (somehow). It could also be argued that Rey has more in common with Anakin than anyone else, which leads us to...
5. Conceived by The Force similar to Anakin (no father): I thought of this one. As Rey is so powerful, does she have a similar origin to Anakin's? As we saw in Phantom Menace, it was said Anakin had no father and was conceived by The Force. It's possible the "force has awakened" and created Rey. We could even go further and suggest that Rey may go a similar path to Anakin and turn to the Dark Side herself.
The last two theories suggest that Rey was a Jedi serving under Luke Skywalker when the tradgedy occurred that sent Luke into hiding -- with the Padawan that killed all the others. This also helps explain why Rey can use The Force (as she already had prior training).
6. Evil Jedi - mind wiped: Rey is the evil Jedi/padawan who killed all the others, but Luke mind-wiped her and planted false memories as he didn't want to kill her. This could also explain why Rey had such strong feelings to stay on Jakku -- because Luke implanted that into her because he never wanted her to leave.
7. Luke's apprentice who survived (via reddit): It's possible Rey survived the slaughter, and Luke hid her on Jakku so as not to get killed. In the process, he mind-wiped her and planted false memories to either protect her, or as he felt like he failed, to not have any more Jedi (and never wanted her to leave).
Think of any others? Let us know in the comments below, on Twitter or on Facebook.

This is SO COOL!! Dee Dee wrote on Facebook yesterday...
"A funny thing happened today. My brother called me and said that his friend heard my record on U Tube that I made when I was 17 yrs. old. Neither one of us had a clue that it was on U tube. Someone from the music business put it on there back in 2010 and I just found out today. Dorsey Burnette and Glen Campbell played some of the guitar background on this record back in 1966. Dorsey wrote the song. It's called 'If the World Only Knew;\' and my name is spelled DeeDee Dorety on the record. What a fun surprise for me today."

IF THE WORLD ONLY KNEW / To Go Our Separate Ways - DJ PROMO (Era 3162) Out of Los Angeles, this 1966 release is the sole disc issued by Miss Dorety on the Era label. It was recorded at Hollywood's GOLD STAR STUDIO with it's echo chamber wide open to showcase the driving, quazi-Spectoresque arrangement by 'Wrecking Crew' keyboardist, DON RANDI. Darlene Love and The Blossoms are on background vocals. The labels and vinyl have some minor wear. Nothing serious. Plays LOUD and STRONG. An over all VG.
I asked Dee Dee to tell us how she got into the music business and here's what she wrote - THANKS DEE DEE!!
"My family moved from Wisconsin to Burbank, Calif. in 1956. I had won several singing contests in Wisconsin at the age of 5 so when we came to Calif., we found a manager down in Hollywood to help me get a singing career started at the age of 10.. This manager, Jesse Hodges, introduced me to Johnny and Dorsey Burnette and I ended up making a record with the Freedom recording label . Dorsey wrote the song and both he and Johnny played guitar on my record. The office boy there later recorded some songs too and became Donnie Brooks. I later got connected up with a new manager, Joe Laine, who was Frankie Laine's brother. He got me a singing engagement at the Beverly Hills Hotel around the age of 11 for the Sour Apple Awards that the press gives out to celebrities. I also got booked at the Pomona Fair for a week singing every night in their Pavilion at 11 yrs. old. I appeared and sang on about 4 T.V. shows during that time also. Later, when I was about 15 yrs. old I got reconnected with Dorsey Burnette again and I sang with him and Johnny and Jackie De Shannon at the Burbank Armory. At 17, I recorded a couple more songs that Dorsey wrote and Era records signed me up with their record company. I had some great backing on that record. Darlene Love and the Blossoms were my back- up singers, while Glen Campbell, Dorsey Burnette, Don Randi and James Burton played guitars, drum and the piano behind me. Phil Spector was the sound man for that record also. ( Darlene Love later went on to be a singer with songs like "He's a Rebel".) After my record was released, my father decided to move to Montana with his second wife so I lost my financial backing, and didn't have the money to continue to pursue a singing career. Later in my 20's someone offered to give me the financial backing to get back into the music business again but by then I was married with 2 kids and I chose my family over a career. It was fun while it lasted though and I met a lot of really neat people along the way..."

Break out the surgical masks because expansion fever is sweeping the Soccer Nation! The unprotected lists are out and San Jose is on the clock as they sift the sediment of the current MLS rosters looking for a nugget or two. And lo and behold! Take a look at United's protected eleven as per Goff, and then take a look at my own predicted eleven from two weeks ago!
It's good to be the king!
Well, at least I can now tell my wife that all of those hours spent toiling in the Football Manager salt mines may actually have accomplished something . . .
So, now we know who is off the table. Given the names left unprotected, we'll undoubtedly be losing either Brian Carroll or Rod Dyachenko. My money is on Carroll, a relatively cheap veteran player who probably gets the starting nod, while Rod is more promise than content at the moment. Of course, we'll temper that assumption with the knowledge that Starship LA has left Harmse and Tudela unprotected--players that featured in Carroll's favored d-mid role for Yallop during his stint at the head of Lalas' Abomination.
I'll be vacating the Fullback Cave in a few hours and won't return until Friday evening, but I'll probably check in when I wrangle some internet time. We shall see if the Quakes' choices move me to punditry or not. Toodles.

First Baptist Church of Bellingham
A Brief History of the First Baptist Church of Bellingham
This information is provided courtesy of the First Baptist Church of Bellingham, Washington. Photo provided by the Whatcom Museum of History & Art.
The First Baptist Church of Bellingham, Washington was organized on July 21, 1883, when the town site was known as Whatcom. It was incorporated as a congregation on November 25, 1883. Today, it is the oldest, continuous congregation in the City of Bellingham and the oldest corporation in Whatcom County.
The town of Whatcom was a bustling and church-lacking seaport in 1883 when an itinerant Baptist minister focused on organizing a Baptist congregation in the community. The early congregation of six people, including the pastor and his wife, held its first baptism on the shores of Bellingham Bay.
Over the years, the congregation has erected three buildings for worship. The first church was built on a lot donated by a town proprietor along a streetcar route extending west from town. Ten years later the lot was traded for a more central location near the hub of the streetcar system. This church and educational wing served the congregation faithfully for sixty years before growth and age forced its replacement with the present structure across the street.
The First Baptist Church of Bellingham has played a vital force in the lives of its members and in the city of Bellingham: a large number of its young members have chosen careers in ministry; a member was elected mayor of Whatcom and a pastor has served on the Bellingham School Board.
Beginning in 1896, a School of Industries was organized and operated to provide skills and training in many fields, including nursing, dressmaking, cooking, wood carving, carpentry and canoe building. A Bible lesson, scripture and devotions were part of each session. A kindergarten class was added in 1900, the first endeavor of its kind in the city.
In 1903 the Japanese Mission was organized to teach English, geography, reading, history and spelling to immigrants. Many students from these classes became church members and served in the congregation. The church has been an ardent supporter of foreign missions with cash and activities sponsored by the active women's groups.
Now approaching fifty years in its third building, the congregation has established a committee to locate a new site for its expanding program. Time has brought change — the demise of the streetcar, curtailment of public transportation on Sunday and evenings, improved roads, dependence on the private automobile and unprecedented population growth. No longer is the city core the center of population. Topography and improved roads are causing the center of population to shift northward. An influx of new residents arriving without a local church base is creating new developments north of the original business core. The historic downtown is no longer the center of the expanding population. New shopping centers in the suburbs, relocation of traditional retail stores away from the original business district and the closure of a major waterfront employer have created new opportunities for a church congregation which has taken pride in being a central downtown church.

You used to have
so many things to say
about nothing. Now
what has occurred-
where are your words,
your prayer, your tears?
Then, I understood
the shine of singing,
even when eternal smoke
collected in shadows,
flames of wound
connected in chains,
yellow sulphur, agony
seeped through skin.
I listen to empty spaces.
I have gone blind.
No one knows you.
Distant, lightless shore.
No one survives you.
Dark forgotten hills...
clear poisonous gas,
perfume of winter.
Between the pages,
between the solitude
of wrath's silence- speaks
violent, broken dreams.

Unlike almost all other economic commentators these days, Sumner argues that currently and last fall the Fed was pursuing a tight money strategy.
Two items from Sumner's FAQ section on his blog:
2. But weren't interest rates cut to very low levels?
Interest rates are a very misleading indicator of monetary policy. Both in the early 1930s and late 2008, falling rates disguised a tight money policy. The rates were actually falling for two reasons. Expectation of recession led to less borrowing and thus lower real interest rates. And inflation expectations also fell sharply.
3. But didn't the monetary base increase sharply?
Yes, but this is also misleading for two reasons. During periods of deflation and near-zero rates, there is a much higher demand for non-interest bearing cash and bank reserves. In addition, last October 6th the Fed began paying interest on reserves, which caused banks to hoard bank reserves.
So low interest rates don't necessarily indicate an a loose monetary policy and even if the Fed pursues a money creating strategy, increased demand for holding cash can thwart this.
The label contrarian gets thrown around so much these days it's lost most of its punch. But the notion that recent monetary policy has been tight seems to be one of the few current views truly worthy of the description. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke however, is doing what he can to make the contrarian label outdated. Writing in a Wall Street Journal Op-Ed he notes:
When the Fed makes loans or acquires securities, the funds enter the banking system and ultimately appear in the reserve accounts held at the Fed by banks and other depository institutions. These reserve balances now total about $800 billion, much more than normal. And given the current economic conditions, banks have generally held their reserves as balances at the Fed.
Bernanke goes on to argue that one way to control inflation, if and when it becomes the major threat, is through the payment of interest on bank reserves, encouraging them to hold cash rather than lend it out. The use of interest on reserves as a tool of monetary policy has been one of the major ideas of Sumner's blog.
But Bernanke is still talking as if we are in a period of loose monetary policy; for example he mentions, "[w]hen the time comes to tighten." When the time comes? We may be tightening now and not even realize it.
So if Sumner is right, not only is inflation not the current threat, but recovery could in fact be slowed or prevented outright. What if what looks like an expansionary monetary policy is, in fact, the exact opposite. It is difficult enough to determine the best policy approach to economic recovery; overcoming the fact that a policy may be doing the exact opposite of everything we think it is doing may be an insurmountable obstacle to recovery.

Been a funny old day really, went to see my Nan at rest in the funeral home, wierd to see her like that, laid out, all thin and gaunt. She was 93 years old and not that long ago you would have sworn she would make it to her hundreds. What done her in was stopping her cleaning job, yep she was still at it, cleaning houses, in her nineties, just as she did in her twenties when she came over from Ireland.
This is the first time I really felt death, yeah I lost grandparents and great grandparents, a favourite uncle and my mother in law lost her battle with cancer a couple of years ago and its all painful stuff. I had three friends killed in their youth, one accident, one murder and one killed in Iraq at the begining of the war, and they really hurt. I've seen dead bodies before as well, some brutally murdered in Northern Ireland, but when you see your old Nan laid out, well thats a different story, for the second time in my life I felt like fainting on the spot, the first time being on my first day in the army, but thats another story. All in all a funny, painful day, I made up for it by buying a pink glazed ring donut, a large mocca and trying to OD on sugar, didn't work though.
Sorry if this is all depressing, we bury her Thursday so i will probably be better by then.
Oh, also I've used my artisitc flair to its best and ended up with this, hope its not too severe on the eye. I didn't mean to go so squaddified, hey but thats life.

An Entire Country Is My Area!
Today is my 3rd day in Singapore. I was really sad to leave KL--especially sad to leave Sister Noorda, who I love, and Jack, who has been really struggling lately and has been on his way back up. He's been an investigator I've been able to connect with in a really good way, and teach him just the way he needed to be taught. I care for him a lot. My last lesson with him was one of the hardest things I've done on my mission. Everyone held back tears until after we parted--ripped the bandaid off. It was one of those times when "God Be With You 'til We Meet Again" doesn't seem cheesy at all. I really do pray that God with be with him and my other investigators who I love as well. I feel nervous that I won't be there to keep teaching them and talking with them but I know that actually, they were never MY investigators to begin with. They belong to God. I would never have even met any of those people in the first place if it weren't for Heavenly Father guiding us and taking care of us and blessing us. I know that He will continue to do that for people like Jack and Deva and Dr. C and Freddy and for me as well. I'm so grateful that God placed me in the paths of these precious people and allowed me to play a small part in their journey back to Him.
So now I'm in Singapore, with Sister Anderson. She was born in Beijing but was adopted by her parents in America when she was a young girl. She is hilarious and great.
Our area is ALL OF SINGAPORE, but we have a special assignment... we are in charge of two wards: the 1st Ward, which is an ex-patriot ward (Americans, Europeans, random other places), and the 3rd Ward, which is the Filipino Ward. So basically, Sister Anderson and I are in charge of finding and teaching people from the Philippines. Initially I had mixed feelings about not teaching Singaporeans, but I think the conclusion is that I'm pumped. All of the other missionaries are jealous--and they tell that to us. So it's great. Yesterday we met with an investigator named Jesus, we call him Brother Jesse. He's awesome! He's so prepared and going to be baptized in a few short weeks. He is the kind of person who finds it easy to believe the word of God. He is sensitive to the Spirit and very purehearted. I'm excited. I still just got here, really, but I've been told that Filipinos love the missionaries and love the Gospel so I should have a good time. I imagine that it's similar to being in the US, serving a Spanish-speaking mission in a very clean and safe Chicago (or whatever big city you want to pick). I'm excited to see how this goes. Also, in the 1st Ward we have a dinner calendar so we get fed American food 2 or 3x a week. :) So different than Malaysia!
Anyway that's mostly it. I am still adjusting to this change... Singapore is full of wealthy people, and the whole city is kind of like a shopping mall. It's a different mindset, and although it definitely feels Asian here, the mindset is a lot more Western. It's like being in a different mission. But I'm looking forward to serving here.
I know that God takes care of us and our families. He is real and He guides us and loves us. The Book of Mormon is true. We are each in His hands. He sent His Son to pave for us the path to peace and eternal life.

The company is the brainchild of Sebastian Wagner, who previously worked as Business Developer and Trading Operations Manager for Trafigura and associated firms, managing oil trades across the barrel of African crude and refined products while simultaneously pursuing pre-financing opportunities with West and Central African sovereigns.
"DMWA Resources is a knowledge and relationship-driven oil & gas advisory firm," said Mr. Wagner, the company's Executive Director.

We assist our private sector partners in the industry's ongoing consolidation, as well as our governmental clients in their financial and knowledge-based recapitalization."

The company offers a range of petroleum industry and fiscal advisory services and partners with world-class partners with the capacity to undertake E&P ventures in Africa's oil and gas sector.

GM, Ford's Negative PR Take A Hit
|Topics: General Motors, Ford Motor Company
Anthony Fontanelle
February 6, 2007
Negative PR affects the perceptions of consumers and this fact is supported by several studies. This fact also made General Motors Corporation's and the Ford Motor Company's reputation among the worst in corporate America.
Two of the world's most admired American companies are now enduring the worst aftermath of negative PR. Both automakers have plummeted sales in 2006. The decline is attributed to the negative publicity about plant closures, job cuts and financial problems.
How bad was the fall? Among the 60 best known American companies in the 8th annual Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive Poll, GM ranked 57th, down from 38th spot that it used to occupy back in 2005. Ford, on the other hand, dropped to 55th spot from the previous 37th. GM and Ford dropped the most number of rungs of any companies included in the poll.
"It's all about negative PR. It comes down to job losses, layoffs, plant closings, declining market share," said Scott Upham, a senior vice president at Harris Interactive who previously worked in purchasing for Ford. "They certainly have a lot of work to do to improve their overall brand image."
Reputation issues are a major concern as automakers enforce their restructuring plans and improve their current lineups. GM's 2007 lineup is now greener. The automaker includes a new hybrid system, a fuel-saving V-6 and 14 models — or about 400,000 total vehicles — that can run on E85 ethanol. The Chevrolet Express and the GMC Savana vans are the newest ethanol-capable vehicles. So far, the automaker has about 2 million ethanol-capable vehicles on the road.
In an interview, GM Chairman and CEO, Rick Wagoner, said he thinks GM's strategy of having several hybrid options is a good one and will make up for the fact that GM has trailed Toyota and other rivals in bringing hybrids to market. GM has been steadily losing U.S. market share to Asian rivals. GM expanded its vehicles with six-speed automatic transmissions. The technology is being added to the Saturn Aura sedan, the Saturn Outlook sport utility vehicle, the Pontiac G6 and the Cadillac STS and SRX.
Ford also expanded its range of safety, handling and entertainment features for its 2007 lineup. Ford, Lincoln and Mercury presented a wide array of new and updated models to offer a boost in customer demand for distinctive design, fuel-efficiency and safety. This expansion also called for tuning the vehicles for maximum performance. Some of the models use Active Brakes Direct to produce a high-performance street machine.
"Too often in the past, our philosophy was to move the metal -- to build the vehicles that we had the capacity to build and then price them -- often discounting them -- to get the customer to bite," said Mark Fields, Ford Motor Company Executive Vice President and President of the Americas. "We didn't look far enough beyond the horizon, tracking the trends, knowing our customers, and seeing the day when they might want something else. I'm proud to tell you, that's the Ford of the past -- not the Ford of today."
Last month, GM introduced a concept plug-in electric hybrid called Volt. Ford also unveiled a plug-in fuel cell vehicle, the Hy-series hybrid Edge. The introductions are made to reclaim prominence in the field.
The reputation issues are a major concern as the companies restructure their operations and improve vehicle quality and design. Both companies have talked recently about trying to close a "perception gap" that keeps some consumers from considering Detroit-made vehicles.
GM and Ford have lost more than $25 billion since 2006, while cutting more than 55,000 hourly jobs and thousands of salaried jobs. GM intends to close 9 plants by 2008, while Ford is in the process of shuttering 14 factories by 2012.
GM's accounting is the subject of an SEC probe. In addition, GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson acknowledged that the automaker has received "a lot of mixed publicity." And that "it takes time to close the gap between perception and reality."

I found this post from Sarah on
She has listed "6 tips for Correcting Pencil Grip" in an easy to understand manner and even included videos for some of the tips.
I already use smaller writing tools and the pom-pom method, thanks to my wonderful Occupational Therapist friend, Sandy Murphy, who is a wealth of information on all matters dealing with fine motor development! I'll have to ask her opinion on the sock method. It looks like it has promise. I'll let you know what she says!

Foodfetchers em rte 2 Browns s Stadium
That post title.
My cellphone display is broken, and I can only see a very little bit of what is typed into my phone at a given time. I have to count clicks (it's not a QWERTY keyboard, just a simple phonepad with numbers and multiple letters sharing the keys), and as I was walking to the stadium as I typed, I lost count a couple of times.
The temptation is there to correct my work, but I think I will leave it as is. It will serve as a reminder -- a PAINFUL reminder!!! -- for me of what it's like to have a phone suddenly go out of commission.
On a sidenote, it was disappointing early in the day that this was the only picture I got to take of our day at the Browns game. My battery ran out as soon as I took and posted it. I'm not sure if that was actually related to the damaged display. In retrospect, however, it may have been a mercy I was denied my chance to take more pictures. The Browns made some really dumb plays. (Who throws to a receiver *already on the ground*???)
We did have fun, though. And it was yet another visit to Cleveland Browns Stadium during which we did not, nor were we remotely tempted to go to any concession stand.

About two years ago I sat in my office with my wife, as tears welled up in my eyes,. I said the words out loud that I had only thought. It had swirled around in my head however; I never had the nerve to speak the words. Had I spoken it, these dangerous thoughts would be way too real. I said to her, if I could find another job that would provide for my family I would take it. I would leave my church and my job as a youth pastor, and never look back. I could hit the reset button and walk away from a life I had grown to hate. It is fair to say this would be filed under one of the "bad days".
I am a husband, father, son, student, and a youth pastor. At that moment in my life, I hated most of these people, and felt as if I was failing at many of them. I had lost control of my life. As my wife listened, she reassured me that my feelings were not true, though she validated my need for change. She recognized that my life, and ultimately both of our lives were out of control. It wasn't until I spent some time with a trusted mentor that I was able to begin seeing out of this massive hole I had dug for myself, my family, and even my ministry.
He challenged me to do one simple thing. Pay attention to my life. Track what I do for every minute of my day in thirty-minute chunks for two weeks. Write it down and evaluate it. I was either going to do it or I would be putting together a resume to find a new life. At my core, I love what I do and feel called to it, so I stayed and fought. I am glad I did. This mentor did not look at my time log. He just asked the right questions and allowed my "time budget" to reveal truth in itself. Like when you track what you eat or what you spend, this exercise revealed much. Here is an overview…
80/20 Rule ::
Similar to an actual budget of money, much of what we have in finances is already allocated to cost of living. We have that same "cost of living" in our time. I have to sleep, drive to work, help get the kids ready for their day, and work 40-60 hours a week. All of these activities take time. How efficiently I do each of these activities is a different conversation for a different day. When I step back and look, there is about 20% of my time that I have the freedom to shuffle around. Instead of being discouraged that I am unable to get away for days on end, I need to take control of that 20% of my life and intentionally use it for my benefit.
Step Back Evaluation time ::
After two weeks I noticed that I allowed my life to happen to me. Nowhere in my time did I step back and assess. I didn't plan or think forwardly at all. This resulted in too many moments of panic, disorganization, and more chaos that I really want to handle. As a result I am now waking up 3 days a week an hour before my kids get up to just sit and ponder, think ahead, and allow the silence to prepare me for a life that is pretty chaotic. I have also injected time away as a youth pastor and husband with my staff and wife.
Lack of Spiritual Presence
I was tempted to act differently during my tracking time because I knew that it would be revealing, but I wanted to learn from my time so I didn't fake it. If I was not inclined to spend time with God I didn't do it. I wanted to see the "holes" at the end of this experiment and if I spent time with God just so I could mark it down on my budget it would have ruined my true intent. That being said, I need more time with God. I am at a spiritual dry season right now where I am not inclined to seek out God so it needs to be intentionally placed in my life. It is ultimately for my own benefit and His glory. In time that dryness will dissipate. For now, it is necessary.
Be intentional about "wasting my time"…make it count.
Have fun with this one because everyone needs to blow off steam. It is up to you as the person who knows you best to decide how you are going to go about doing that. My loves are many, but what refuels me is only a couple things. 1. Time with safe people (wife, dear friends). 2. I need to travel to new places (doesn't need to be far, it is just the experience). 3. I need to be physically active (love it and hate it all at the same time). Too often I release pressure by sitting in front of the TV because it is the path of least resistance. That's not good enough. If I want to watch TV, that is fine but pick a show and watch it. Don't allow the TV just drain hours on end away from me and leave me empty and just as tried. TV is the fast food of the time world. It feels so good at the time, but does very little for you over the long haul.
Selfishly, I pray that this is one of those moments in my life that I look back on as a turning point. So far it has been…
