Officials break ground on Transbay Transit Center
City and state officials were on hand this morning at First and Mission streets for the groundbreaking of the new Transbay Transit Center, a project that was 40 years in the making.
"Today, in breaking ground on the Transbay Transit Center. We are opening a new chapter in that history of progress," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi said the project would provide 48,000 jobs in just the first phase of the project that will replace the existing Transbay Terminal.
"We are coming together to create jobs and revitalize our economy, and we are laying the first building blocks of a new Grand Central Station of the West," she said.
The five-story transit structure will include an above-grade bus level, a ground floor entrance on Mission Street, a concourse level, and two below-grade rail levels serving Caltrain and future California High-Speed Rail.
The $4.2 billion project was funded by various sources including the federal and state government.
"This is one of the most important and transformational public transportation projects in America," said Ray LaHood, U.S. secretary of transportation.
The new Transbay Transit Center is set to open in August 2017. The temporary Transbay Terminal is located at Main and Howard streets.

Washington - HSBC to Pay $1.9B to Settle Money-Laundering Probe |
Washington - A law enforcement official says HSBC will pay $1.9 billion to settle a money-laundering probe by federal and state authorities into Europe's biggest bank.
According to the official, the bank will pay $1.25 billion in forfeiture and pay $655 million in civil penalties. The $1.25 billion figure is the largest forfeiture ever in a case involving a bank. Under what is known as a deferred prosecution agreement, the bank will be accused of violating the Bank Secrecy Act and the Trading With the Enemy Act.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the source was not authorized to speak about the matter on the record.
The London-based bank says it is cooperating with investigations but that those discussions are confidential.

Green Greens
This photo is regrettably fuzzy, but have a look at those delish greens (brought into Pantry, where we were dining, by some woman who actually grew them on a farm and transported them that morning). They are resting in a bamboo bowl. It's entirely recyclable - even reusable a few times, till it falls apart while washing. And the utensils were made of wood a la popsicle sticks. Cool, huh?
6 comments:
Fab: It was so vibrant tasting - I don't know how else to describe it.
Sal: I believe it is possible.
Bel: Oooh, I love that. Great call. That table is really beautiful. It's huge and it's at the back of the store and everyone sits around it and eats communally.
Maegan: I know!
Marta: You have to check it out - Pantry's on College a bit west of Dovercourt.

El Dorado turns fantasy into reality
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away, there lived a speechless king, a domineering queen and a "bright" prince, who longed for a princess to call his wife. Yet, under his mother's decree no one else in the land could be wed until he was married. When all seems lost, along comes an eccentric princess who desires his hand in marriage. But can she pass the test to gain his hand?
Move aside Cinderella and Snow White because El Dorado High School's "Once Upon a Mattress" revamps the classic "happily ever after" into a musical phenomenon.
"Once Upon a Mattress" depicts the real story behind the princess and the pea. Set in medieval times, the story follows the life of Princess Winnifred the Woebegone (Kristi Claes) and her endeavors in hopes of winning the hand of Prince Dauntless (Grant Beach).
Zany and humorous as Winnifred, Claes brings the character to life through wacky idiosyncrasies and sidesplitting appearances. For example, when she crawls out of the castle's moat water drips from her Huckleberry-colored dress and vines adorn her wiry copper hair, as she races up to each man in the court and looks for her "Prince Charming" during the song "Shy."
Grant Beach as Prince Dauntless exemplifies tremendous chemistry with both his overbearing mother, Queen Aggravain (Nora Hawari), and racy mute father, King Sextimus (Jerome Lachapelle). As Aggravain, Hawari dominates the stage with immense portentousness and an earth-trembling voice, as she criticizes Winnifred by alerting her court "she swam the moat."
In juxtaposition to Aggravain's bombastic ego, King Sextimus graces the stage with spot-on comedic timing through raunchy and obscene gestures, like when he places his crown between his legs to reenact childbirth for naive Dauntless during their highly acclaimed song "Man to Man Talk."
As the archetype of the damsel in distress, Lady Larkin (Natalie Leonard) captivates the audience's hearts as she informs Sir Harry (Brian Mogilewski) of their pregnancy and pronounces her burning love for him during "Yesterday I Loved You."
With excellent and original student choreography by Megan Hill and Maddie Hill and profound costume selection, El Dorado proves happy endings are not just myth, but can be achieved through a difficult test, 20 mattresses and one tiny green pea.

Episode 7
Pre-production on "Queens Boulevard" is moving along nicely, and famed indie director Billy Walsh is tapped to helm the project. Vince takes an immediate liking to the freewheeling Walsh, but Eric has a few concerns. Tensions between E and Walsh grow, as Walsh continually refers to E as a "suit." Despite Eric's concerns, it looks like Vince will give the partnership a greenlight -- until Eric discovers that Walsh has added a scene to the film in which Vince will have a romantic liaison with another man.
While Vince and Eric debate whether or not they can go with Walsh, Drama finds himself flush with cash from a nice residual check. Turtle wants a cut of the cash so he can spend it on some "dancers," but Drama refuses since he's sworn to never pay for sex again. Later, the two bring home a couple of women from a club, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to score-at least not before Drama helps out one of the women with her rent. He may have fallen off the wagon, but at least his residual money went to a good cause.
To help decide whether or not Walsh is the man for "Queens Boulevard," the crew sits down to watch Walsh's first film. As much as it pains him to admit it, Eric is blown away by the piece. E and Vince meet with Walsh again to talk about possibly removing the scene, but Walsh refuses. Vince relents, and agrees to do the scene, but Walsh reveals that he never actually intended for it to be in the film; it was just a test to see if Vince trusted in his vision.
ENTOURAGE is written by Doug Ellin and Executive Produced by Mark Wahlberg for HBO.

Okay, so how much do I owe you?
Now that all of the glittery dust has settled on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's ultra-extravagant wedding – which included nearly weeklong festivities in Paris and Florence, Italy, and left nothing to be desired for its star-studded guest list – there's one question that's top of mind: How much did the fabulous foreign affair cost?
Pretty sure the mile-long receipt is still being tallied, but here's a running list of items included in the multimillion-dollar/euro event.
Top-Notch Accommodations
In Paris, guests who began arriving around May 19 stayed at Hôtel George V, a luxury five-star hotel offering rooms starting at $750 a night. Once the party headed to Florence, guests stayed at least a night at either the St. Regis or Four Seasons. Both offer rooms for about $885 a night. Multiply all that by roughly 200 guests and the hotel price tag could be more than half a million dollars. That's not to mention the family's luxe Villa San Michele accommodations in Florence, which cost at least $1,800 a night per room.
Pre-Wedding Spree
Among the wedding activities list was a private bachelorette dinner for the bride and her closest girlfriends at Hôtel Costes, home of one of Paris' top restaurants. With prices up to $190 a plate, that dinner alone comes in at nearly $4,100 – probably much much less than the cost of the next day's rehearsal dinner, which included a performance by Lana Del Rey (Kanye is rumored to have paid her a pretty penny to sing Kardashian's favorite song, "Young and Beautiful") and the subsequent guided tour of Versailles.
Private Transportation
In order to get their guests from pre-wedding festivities in Paris to the main event in Florence, the Wests chartered two private jets. Once on the ground a fleet of 45 to 50 cars and vans shuttled them to and from the Florence airport. The price for the cars alone is estimated at nearly $70,000, gas included.
Hair and Makeup for All
Lucky guests availed themselves of a full glam team for the couple's big day. High-end Paris-based stylist Allison Depriestre says such a service could easily cost $380 per person. For 200-plus guests that's more than $65,000 just to get pretty.
The Breathtaking Venue
The over-the-top couple said their official "I do"s atop Forte di Belvedere, an imposing 16th-century fortress in Florence offering gorgeous views of the ancient Italian city. Kardashian and West are said to have spent more than $409,000 to rent the property for their May 24 wedding. That's before all of the upgrades, lighting and construction needed for the grand event.
Rare Flowers
With fresh flower walls similar to the one West gifted his bride for Mother's Day, the wedding's buds alone cost a small fortune. Among the mountain of flower arrangements that arrived at the fort were bushels of tuberose, which is extremely rare this time of year, renowned for its beautiful unique scent and considered an almost sacred flower. Florists at Fiori Della Signoria, one of the city's oldest flower shops, estimate total flower costs to be $136,000.
Fabulous Food
Top chefs Annie Féolde and her husband, Giorgio Pinchiorri, led Florence-based Galateo catering company in handling the super-tasty, super-pricey wedding menu. Considering Féolde and Pinchiorri's own renowned Florentine restaurant Enoteca Pinchiorri – where a plate of spaghetti can set you back $100 – the wedding feast was easily in the tens of thousands. Add on the couple's 7-ft wedding cake and the price climbs even higher.
Couture Everything
The Vogue cover couple got hitched in front of all their designer-clad guests wearing the best Givenchy had to offer. For Kardashian that meant a custom Givenchy Haute Couture gown designed by her friend Riccardo Tisci, estimated cost up to $500,000. Not to be upstaged, daughter North donned a mini matching handmade dress, which was probably a little bit cheaper.
Guests say the week's pomp and circumstance was all worth it. As Kardashian family friend Malika Haqq told PEOPLE after the wedding, "Kanye really went all out there with his love." No kidding!

Indian Arts, Culture & Heritage
Art in India has been synonymous with life, enmeshed into the daily existence of every individual born into this culturally rich and diverse land, long before written history became fashionable. The people born into this land developed alternative means of expressing themselves not only to record their stories, important events and their collective past, but also to embellish and enhance the simple objects of daily life. The range of material used to create art in India traverses the gamut from mud to metal; each medium handled in a unique, locality specific technique that evolved to best express the talents and needs of the people of that area. With royal patronage over millennia, artistic growth blossomed in a dynamic and competitive environment, with the highest standards of knowledge set for the King. The King, as patron was expected to know and critique the sixty-four mainstreams of the Arts and often was an artist himself.
No other country has a diversity of technique and expression as India and her people. While the techniques of traditional "craft" handed down generations by the master craftsmen continues to date, the art, expression through these channels, continue to evolve and adapt to changing times. With a tenacity of endurance, such "folk art" has found its way into the voice and expressions of contemporary artists who paint and sculpt following the traditions of the West.
India is a modern civilization of nuclear capability that continues to nurture its roots that go back to a time before the written record of history. In the words of Linda Johnson, "if you had been around in the third millennium B.C.E, India is where you would have wanted to be. The quality of life was higher there than practically anywhere else in the world. In fact, the towns of North India in 2600 B.C.E. were more comfortable and technologically advanced than most European cities till nearly the time of the Renaissance!"
India's knowledge, springing from pre Vedic times, followed an oral tradition of documentation and research. Many of these streams of research were documented in the Vedas. The search for information was nurtured through observational research and guarded fiercely. Vedic scholar Jean Le Mee aptly stated, "Precious or durable materials – gold silver marble onyx or granite- have been used by most ancient peoples in an attempt to immortalize their achievements. Not so, however, with the ancient Aryans. They turned what may seem as the most volatile and insubstantial material of all- the spoken word- an out of this bubble of air fashioned a monument which more than thirty, perhaps forty centuries later stands untouched by time or the elements.
For the pyramids have been eroded by the desert wind, the marble broken by earthquakes, and the gold stolen by robbers, while the Veda remains recited daily by an unbroken chain of generations, traveling like a great wave through the living substance of the mind."
One asks, what is this Great knowledge that these Indian Scholars sought, guarded and prioritized as their ancestral heritage. It is the concept of Zero, Geometry, the concept now known to the world by the translator for the Western world, the Pythagoras theorem, astronomy with details such as the color of Mars and the influence of the celestial bodies on our lives, the concept of time, the Age and Evolution of the Universe and the Cosmos, the dissolution of the Universe and the Cosmos, Agriculture, some of the earliest concepts of watershed management and environmental conservation, the art of Politics, warfare and peace, Medicine, physical Education and the body mind spirit connection, self control, the integration of the self with the Universe, philosophy, theology and the concept of God, Magic, genetic breeding and how to avoid inbreeding, the science of Art and the paths to the Ultimate Truth
These have been documented in the various "scriptures"; the Vedas, The Shastras like the Yoga Shastra, Shilpa Shastra, Artha Shastra and applied Vedas like Ayur Veda, the medical science of Longevity, The Upanishads and the Bhagavat Gita. While these traditions continue to inspire and teach people beyond her boundaries, Modern India forges the way to make space technology cheaper and more accessible to the developing world.

Triple Action Hand Pump
This attractive water fixture offers the convenience of three water pumps in one fixture: 1. A full stroke of the handle up and down causes the fixture to function as a hand pump providing greater water flow with minimum effort. 2. To lift the handle to the up position activates an electric water pump to produce a smooth flow of water. 3. To press the handle to the down position delivers city water. There are two styles of the double action and triple action fixture: The Low Boy unit that is often used where clearance is a factor, such as in a folding trailer; and the Standard unit which is commonly used in most other RV's where the height of the unit is not a factor. Standard: 131-1 & 131-1-PW: 3-way combination hand pump, city water and electric pump activator with a clamp and swivel, and aluminum spout and lever arm. Colonial White color.

In Reply to: breast cancer spread to lungs and liver posted by Kathy on June 15, 2000 at 02:01:46:
: My mother is a 15 yr survivor of breast cancer..responding to tamoxifin (sp?) megace, arimidex but now she has been taxol ..treatments once a week ..4 hr each. The cancer has not spread to throat, brain or bones. but one of her vocal chords is paralyzed..all doctors can say is that it is a result of the cancer..has anyone else had a paralyzed vocal chord...is it a result of the lesions in the lung pressing on a certain nerve. The other question is that the taxol is not really working...there has been a very slight reduction in lung lesions but an increase in liver lesions....and much more shortness of breath. Would taxateer (again, sp?) be more effective or if taxol doesn't work should she try the taxater and could that be effective? Thanks for any response.
You only hope is going to alternativecancertreatments.com , That Taxol is a killer, what is does to the immmune system, don't ask. Your mother need to saturate the immune system with killer cells, and a strong tonic for the body.

Assuming this matches the char dump you posted, your mistake might have been using telSelf when you had telOther. If you had sent the hydra away, you would not have landed in the frying pan.

your right, i could have sent the hydra away and then rested or quaffed a potion. I kinda panicked, i was thinking "i have around 100 hitpoints, i got to get out of here". I never thought about any other options...

That is one of the most wonderous things about angband - getting panicked in a turn based game. It happens to me all the time without any real reason because you have all the time of the world to think about your next move.
There is also a rule about angband, that after the death of your character you will always find something in your equipment or inventory that could have helped to avoid death. |

April 17, 2007. I have finally made the first updates to my web-site. Actually, most of the pages need the updates like this. I will add them slowly but surely.
December 1, 2006. Trip to the Northern Thebaid, Part 2. Actually, I made it earlier, but I forgot to add the link.
September 16, 2006. Trip to the Northern Thebaid.
April 25, 2006. Links were updated.
June 8. The trip of Metropolitan Valentine to the USA (May-June 2005).
March 5. Pictures of ordination of Father Siluan, the first Argentinean priest of ROAC.

Here you will find not only pictures and pictures not only about ROAC. Originally it was simply a place where I used to download some materials for our English-speaking friends. Slowly but surely the number of the visitors was increasing, and I started to add documents and other things. But now our Church has the official
web-site. So, if you need information, it is better to go there, because my information here is often out of date, I never have time to update it. I still continue developing this web-page mostly for friends, including the unknown ones. But enemies are also welcome:-)

Scientists from Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria and the Raincoast Conservation Foundation recently published a peer-reviewed scientific article in the international journal PLOS ONE warning that people are killing grizzly bears at rates far exceeding government limits in British Columbia, and that the province's controversial trophy hunt is partly to blame. "Confronting uncertainty in wildlife management: performance of grizzly bear management", which was partly funded by the David Suzuki Foundation, is the latest in a series of analyses, including some by former B.C. government biologists, that cast serious doubt on the government's claim that grizzly bear hunting is well-managed and science-based.
Sign up for our newsletter
In the most recent study, PhD student and lead author Kyle Artelle and his colleagues analyzed a large government data set containing details on the deaths of thousands of bears killed by trophy hunters, as well as animal control officers, poachers and vehicle and train collisions.
Their researchers wanted to determine whether B.C.'s grizzly management met its own objectives of maintaining human-caused kills below predetermined limits set by the government. They found that of an estimated population of 15,000 bears in B.C., more than 3,500 (including over 1,200 females) were killed over the last decade, in most cases by trophy hunters. They also found total kills commonly exceeded limits set by management policy over 10 years, from 2001 to 2011. These "overkills" occurred at least once during the 10-year period in half the populations open to hunting. Disturbingly, overhunting was particularly prevalent for female bears, which are the reproductive powerhouses of the species, and thus critical to sustaining population numbers.
Trophy hunt needs to be reduced or stopped
The scientists also found the B.C. government is failing to take into account uncertainty around bear population numbers, sustainable mortality levels and predicting mortality when setting hunting limits that don't result in excessive bear deaths. When these factors were taken into account, the actual mortality of bears resulting from human actions might be much higher than what the government considers "sustainable", and thus the scientists show that for grizzly bear populations to be managed more conservatively, their exposure to trophy hunting and other threats would need to be reduced significantly.
Lead author Artelle told the Victoria Time Colonist, "These overkills are a serious concern because the biology of grizzly bears makes them highly vulnerable to excessive mortality. They have great difficulty recovering from population declines."
Indeed, despite being large and ferocious animals, grizzly bears are highly sensitive to human impacts, in part because female bears reproduce later in life and often produce only a small number of cubs that survive into adulthood. Grizzlies must often travel over long distances to find enough food to sustain themselves, putting them at risk of coming into deadly contact with hunters, roads, town sites and other human encroachments into their habitat.
B.C. government dismisses science
Sadly, the B.C. government quickly dismissed the findings of this latest study in a statement released November 5, claiming that overhunting doesn't occur "since grizzly bear harvest numbers are deliberately set very conservatively." The province also claimed that robust populations of grizzlies remain in B.C., contrary to the expert opinion of many independent bear biologists, and the fact that on-the-ground inventories of bear numbers are rarely done.
The government also claimed that grizzlies aren't hunted in 35 per cent of the province. While this may be true, those are almost entirely areas where grizzlies have gone extinct, are currently threatened or are not hunted because of population concerns, providing strong evidence that management is not conservative!
The province's claim that the grizzly bear hunt is scientifically well-managed is a tired refrain. We've heard it before from government managers for other species driven to near-extinction due to overharvesting, overfishing and overuse — including northern cod off the Newfoundland coast and rapidly disappearing old-growth cedar forests on Vancouver Island. We've witnessed the ecological, economic and social chaos that has occurred with government mismanagement of other species at risk. Let's hope the B.C. government realizes this and ends its unsustainable bear trophy hunt before it's too late and Canada's great bears are but a memory of our nation's former biological richness.
Sign the petition to end trophy hunt
You can help protect grizzly bears by signing a petition, organized by nine B.C. First Nations, which calls on Premier Christy Clark and her ministers in charge to end the grizzly bear trophy hunt.
These First Nations, under an alliance called Coastal First Nations, have acted on their own to protect the species by declaring their expansive traditional territories in B.C.'s Great Bear Rainforest off limits to trophy hunters under a tribal ban. As noted by Heiltsuk councillor Jessie Housty, "Analysis of their [government] own data shows managers are risking the long-term survival of grizzly populations across B.C. Our responsibility as First Nations is to step into that regulatory vacuum, and protect the bears in our territories."
Coastal First Nations is an alliance of Wuikinuxv, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai'xais, Nuxalk, Gitga'at, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate and the Council of the Haida Nation, which is working to create a sustainable economy on British Columbia's North and Central coasts and Haida Gwaii.

Last week, newly-elected members of the House and Senate were sworn-in for the start of the 112th Congress. It is an honor and a privilege to represent the people of Mississippi. It is also a great responsibility, which begins with listening. Americans sent a loud and clear message to Washington in the last election, and Congress needs to respond.
Cutting Federal Spending
The current level of federal spending is unsustainable. In 2010, federal expenditures were nearly 24 percent of the value of all the goods and services produced in the United States. With federal spending at its highest percentage of our economy since World War II, the deficit was over $1 trillion last year. The United States currently borrows $44,000 for every person in the country. We must cut the size and scope of the federal government.
The American people have responded to the economic downturn by making hard choices and trimming their family budgets. Congress must do the same. The legislative branch budget rose nearly 50 percent over the last 10 years. In order to address the nation's fiscal crisis, the Senate should lead by example and reduce the deficit by cutting its own legislative budget.
I have cut my Senate office budget by five percent, and I am leading an effort to get other members to do the same, saving taxpayers more than $20 million. This is only a start, but it is an important first step to tackling our problems. At a time when we are demanding departments and agencies make reductions, Congress must be willing to do likewise.
Repealing and Replacing Obamacare
The President's government health care takeover is another good place to begin reducing the size of government. The November elections showed the American people rejected this government-centered approach, which costs more than $1 trillion, slashes Medicare by $500 billion to create a new entitlement program, and increases taxes by another $500 billion. Members of the House will vote to repeal Obamacare this week, and Leader Reid should allow an up-or-down Senate vote soon.
The massive law creates 159 new bureaucracies and will burden large and small business alike with higher health costs and more regulations. New taxes contained in the law on job creators stifle economic opportunities. At a time when more than one in ten Mississippians are actively looking for work, we should be acting to lower health care costs and simplify the system.
I voted against the health care law, and I will vote to pass a repeal. If we are blocked from repealing it, I will work to stop the worst provisions first, including defunding its implementation. I also plan to reintroduce legislation that would give state leaders a path to challenge parts of the law that infringe on states' rights sooner than they can now.
A Way Forward
The next two years will be a period of divided government. Republicans control the House of Representatives and Democrats remain in charge of the Senate and the executive branch. Still, Congress would be well advised to listen to the election results of November 2. To accomplish that, we must cut spending and reign in the size of the federal government.

Thanks for sharing that request of Father Corapi...the link I believe mentions the Battle of Lepanto when overwhelmed European mostly Catholic defeated a far superior Turkish naval force...as prayers were being fervently said.

OOpps, I'm sorry. I should have read that link first. A letter was read at mass this morning from the bishops, but it was not that one. It was about protecting life before all other concerns. I can't seem to find a copy of this letter online. If I do, I'll post the link. Again, sorry.

It has been widely reported power brokers are anxiously waiting for Jeb Bush, a former two-term governor from one of the nation's most important swing states, to decide if he is going to run for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
They wait because Bush is well-respected and presidential in stature. He has many positive attributes that would help the GOP attract Hispanic voters, so desperately needed if the party is ever going to recapture the White House.
Bush is a convert to Catholicism, speaks fluent Spanish, and his wife, Columba, is a native of Mexico. With Bush's name recognition and national profile, he could literally raise millions of dollars overnight, and all he has to say is "yes."
But here are key reasons why Bush in 2016 is a really bad idea:
Bush Derangement Syndrome
Let's face it, if Bush had the last name of Something Else, he would have already run for president in 2008 or 2012, and he knows 2016 is his last chance. But has enough time passed for the Bush name, linked to his older brother's unpopular presidential legacy, to still be a factor in the minds of voters?
Unfortunately, what Republicans like to call Bush Derangement Syndrome is still flourishing, and that is the most problematic aspect of a Jeb Bush candidacy. It is just too easy for the media and Democrats to reinforce the mantra, Bush = Bad.
Half of registered voters would not vote for Jeb
According to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, 50 percent of registered voters said they would definitely not vote for Jeb Bush. Among independents, the results were 49 percent, and even 18 percent of Republicans said the same.
Such results prove that the legacy of George W. Bush continues to have a negative effect on his brother's political future.
Bush vs. Clinton 1992: "Back to the future"
So what does Bill Clinton defeating George H.W. Bush in 1992 have to do with Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush in 2016?
It's the media, stupid!
The unfriendly media and Democrats will hammer home comparisons between the Clinton economy (good) vs. the Bush economy (bad).
Both older Bushes will be easy targets for the concept that all Bush economies hurt the nation, and that will extend to Jeb Bush. Realistically, the comparison makes no sense for voters in 2016, especially after the Obama economy, but watch this concept take hold if Jeb Bush somehow does manage to win the GOP nomination.
Jeb would split the party
Conservative activists/tea party Republicans — the majority of GOP primary voters — are not lining up for Jeb Bush in 2016, largely because of his stand on "Common Core" academic standards and his support for "amnesty" immigration legislation. Although he considers himself a "practicing conservative," Jeb Bush is also viewed as a moderate establishment Republican in the mold of Mitt Romney.
The good news is that means he does not scare independent voters and is capable of raising millions from the "country-club" Republicans. The bad news is Jeb Bush epitomizes the "establishment vs. tea party" divide currently raging within the party.
Jeb is sucking-up early money from other candidates
The former Bush network and most of Romney's financial backers are just waiting on the sidelines until Bush makes a decision. Then, crowning Bush the "money candidate" would buy party backlash on the right, increasing the divide.
Clinton and Bush families like each other
The last thing we need is for the Clinton and Bush families to wage war. But war would be declared if Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton won their parties' nominations. Consider this revealing quote from Bush's mother, which aired on a C-SPAN's series on first ladies:
"I love Bill Clinton, maybe not his politics, but I love Bill Clinton. Bill's father wasn't around, and I think he thinks of George a little bit like the father he didn't have."
The Clintons and the Bushes have also teamed up over the years on fundraising efforts after several global natural disasters. Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton also share a passion about education issues and have appeared together at various conferences, always exciting the press about a potential match-up.
A Clinton-Bush family "feud" in the form of national election would be contrived, bloody and uncivilized.
Jeb's last campaign was 2002
Jeb Bush had the distinction of being Florida's first two-term Republican governor. He was elected in 1998, and re-elected with 56 percent of the vote in 2002. But he ran in the political Stone Age before the advent of social media like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Even cellphones were not yet smart. That would put Bush at a distinct disadvantage in an era when everyone has a camera, every move and word is recorded and any blooper could go viral and destroy your campaign.
Jeb's immediate family has had a few problems
No family is perfect, and certainly Bush can attest to that, but a rough national campaign means old baggage gets repacked. Stories like when, in 1999, his wife, Columba, was caught trying to hide $19,000 worth of clothes and jewelry from customs agents in the Atlanta airport after a shopping trip to Paris.
Then, his daughter, Noelle, had a series of drug-related arrests. But most important is how Jeb would be forced to distance himself from his brother's two terms of turmoil without tearing his family apart.
Mom famously said "no" but is now warming slightly
Every good son must listen to his mother's advice, especially when Mom is a former first lady and her oldest son is a former president.
On April 25, 2013, when Barbara Bush was asked on national TV if she would like to see Jeb Bush run for president, she replied, "He's by the far the best qualified man, but no." She also added, "We've had enough Bushes."
Now in 2014, with a Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton match-up looking more likely, Barbara Bush said recently on Fox News, "I read 'The Bully Pulpit' by Doris Kearns Goodwin, and she points out that in 1700, there were only three families, so maybe it's OK."
Still, her memorable 2013 quotes will be replayed non-stop, mirroring what voters also believe, that we've had enough Bushes.

Enrolment – 2016
Enrolment – 2016
We are in the process of updating these fund pages for 2017.
We are in the process of updating these fund pages for 2017.
For the 2017 conditions for the Youth Guarantee Fund, refer to:
Generic conditions that relate to all on-Plan funds
Specific conditions that relate to this fund only
This page sets out the 2016 enrolment criteria for Youth Guarantee funding.
To meet the student eligibility criteria, each Youth Guarantee student must be enrolled in a minimum of at least one qualification of 60 credits over the calendar year (equivalent to 0.5 equivalent full-time student (EFTS), or 50% of a full-time, full-year student load).
This is means TEOs have flexibility to decide which qualification(s) they believe best meets the needs of their students and how they should be delivered.
For example, two students could each be enrolled in a 60 credit qualification. The total course work completed by the two students would equate to 120 credits – which attracts 1 EFTS worth of funding ($10,800 non-trades provision/$14,300 trades provision).
Or a student could be enrolled in a programme of learning worth 120 credits (either a single qualification or multiple qualifications) and attract 1 EFTS worth of funding.
Note: 0.5 EFTS (or 50% of a full-time, full-year student load) is equivalent to 60 credits. 1 EFTS is equivalent to 120 credits.
For funding purposes, students must be enrolled in a 60 to 120 credit programme of learning, however, there are no credit achievement targets for Youth Guarantee students. See Monitoring and Reporting for information about minimum performance expectations.
Eligibility for 20-year olds to re-enrol across calendar years
Where a student enrolled in a Youth Guarantee funded qualification (worth up to 1 EFTS of learning) is aged 19 years at the point of enrolment and turns 20 years old within that calendar year, the student is only eligible for Youth Guarantee funding for that qualification. Youth Guarantee funding is not available for re-sits of some or all of the course content.
These students are considered to be outside of the age eligibility for Youth Guarantee, which limits enrolments to students aged 16 to 19. TEOs should bear this in mind when they enrol 19 year olds, particularly those who are close to turning 20, as any additional attempts (or resits) of the qualification course content will either need to be self-funded by the student or funded out of SAC.
Verification of identity
To comply with the reporting requirements under section 159YD of the Act, a TEO must verify a student's identity when the student enrols for the first time (if the student is enrolled in a programme of learning leading to a qualification with an EFTS value of greater than 0.03 EFTS).
If the identity of the student is verified, the TEO can then check if the student is a valid domestic enrolment.
Verifying learner eligibility
TEOs must ensure that students are eligible to be enrolled in Youth Guarantee funded programmes. See Condition SDR001.
The TEC recommends that TEOs use the following information to verify that a student is eligible for Youth Guarantee funding, to verify identity, and to verify domestic student status:
Type of student |
Verification methods |
A New Zealand citizen |
a TEO can: a) confirm the student's citizenship status using the student's NSN; or b) receive an assertion through RealMe® that the student was born in New Zealand (prior to 2005); or c) sight an original or certified copy of one or more of the following documents: i) a New Zealand birth certificate; or ii) a New Zealand passport; or iii) a New Zealand certificate of citizenship; or d) if a student is unable to obtain a birth certificate for the purposes of (c)(i) above, contact the TEC to confirm that a whakapapa statement signed by both the student and a kaumātua is an acceptable evidence of citizenship. |
A New Zealand resident: |
a TEO can sight an original or certified copy of one or more of the following documents: a) a passport with a current returning residency class visa (a passport with a visa label); or b) a passport, and letter or email, confirming current returning residency class visa (label-less visa, followed by confirmation with Immigration New Zealand, where appropriate); or c) a certificate of identity from Immigration New Zealand if the student is a refugee. Note: To enquire about an individual student's immigration status contact the Immigration Contact Centre at firstname.lastname@example.com. |
Australian citizens or permanent residents currently residing in New Zealand |
a TEO can sight the original or certified copy of one or more of the following documents: a) an Australian birth certificate; b) an Australian passport; or c) a passport with a current returning resident's visa. |
Recognition of prior learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) relates to previous study or experience relevant to a programme that a student is currently undertaking. RPL enables a student to proceed with his or her study without repeating those aspects of the qualification previously studied, or re-learning skills the trainee already has through past work or other experience.
A TEO must not claim Youth Guarantee funding for recognised prior learning. See Condition YG023.
Limit on prior achievement at levels 1 and 2
For 2016, TEOs are required to ensure that students who already hold a qualification at levels 1 or 2 on the NZQF must comprise no more than 10% of new enrolments in Level 1 and 2 Youth Guarantee programmes. See Condition YG014.
This ensures that government funding is better targeted to students with no or low prior achievement and enables students to pathway to higher-level qualifications.
What this means in practice:
- a new enrolment is the first time that student has been enrolled at that TEO
- progression to a subsequent qualification at that TEO at any level is not considered a 'new enrolment' and is not affected by the prior achievement limit
- TEOs must verify individual student's prior achievement before accepting them on to the programme.
TEOs must see evidence of prior academic achievement using a NZQA Record of Achievement (ROA) at the time of enrolment. To see each Youth Guarantee student's full NCEA achievement, TEOs need to do an NCEA qualification check with NZQA. For audit purposes, TEOs must retain copies of the ROA that was used on first enrolment to determine eligibility.
There are no restrictions on prior achievement at levels 1 and 2 for students studying a level 3 Youth Guarantee funded qualification.
To ensure TEOs can see the student's paid and unpaid credits, NZQA recommends doing an NCEA qualification check prior to enrolment.
Unpaid NZQA fees for credits
NZQA has administered a process for clearing unpaid credits achieved at secondary school. The TEC supplies NZQA with enrolment information after each SDR and this information is used to match NSNs with NZQA records.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact the Qualifications Data and Data Analysis team at NZQA on 0800 697 296.

COLUMBIA — A judge is set to consider this week how to transfer a girl of Cherokee heritage from her biological father in Oklahoma to the South Carolina couple seeking to adopt her.
Matt and Melanie Capobianco have a hearing in family court in Charleston on Wednesday, court records show.
The couple have been seeking to adopt Veronica, a now-3-year-old girl of Cherokee heritage, since her birth in 2009.
The girl's biological father, who had never met his daughter, challenged the attempt, saying federal law favored that the girl be raised by him and grow up learning tribal traditions.
The South Carolina Supreme Court initially agreed with Dusten Brown's arguments, ruling in 2011 that under the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act, Veronica should be raised by him in Oklahoma, where she went to live that year.
The Capobiancos challenged that ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled earlier this year that South Carolina's court system should determine who gets to adopt the girl.
Earlier this month, the state Supreme Court issued a second ruling in accordance with that decision, saying a Family Court should finalize the Capobiancos' adoption of Veronica.
Regardless of the outcome of Wednesday's proceedings, litigation over the girl and the issues in the adoption is far from over.
Her biological father has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the adoption, arguing that state justices misread the high court's June ruling and did not take account of Veronica's interests. The Cherokee Nation, of which Brown is a member, also joined in the plea.
The girl's biological mother has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, saying a law governing the placement of Indian children is unconstitutional and asking U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for a declaration that parts of the Indian Child Welfare Act are illegal.
Several American Indian groups have said they planned to file a federal lawsuit to protect Veronica's interests if the state court denied the request. They say a hearing is needed to determine her best interests.
That lawsuit has yet to be filed, and the federal government has filed no response to the biological mother's claim. In the U.S. Supreme Court action, Chief Justice John Roberts has set a deadline of Friday for responses to Brown's claim – two days after the adoption hearing in South Carolina.

Feet on the street Jennifer Storelli May 15, 2013 No Comments As RealBeanz Director of Public Relations and Social Media Jenna Burke told me in last month's Up Close With story, it can be hard for consumers to experience a product and develop a relationship with a brand if the main connection with a brand is through social media and advertising. Instead, it's the face-to-face encounters with a brand at events that really help consumers become fans, she said. Read More

Anniversaries and milestones are a good time for reflection. (For example, this is the 100th Great Job, Internet post… feel free to reflect back on how awesome that weird Norwegian "Let It Be" video was.) Billboard and Lady Gaga enjoyed a milestone together this week when "Born This Way" became the 1,000th No. 1 single since Billboard started keeping track. What better way to celebrate than going back in time and listening to every single since 1956 to share that top spot with Gaga, 5 seconds at a time? All it will require is an hour and a half of your time and a willingness to overlook any music that came after 1992, since that's where this two-part song collage cuts off. If you feel need to relive the hits that came after that, mosey on over to our THEN That's What They Called Music and This Was Pop columns to fill in the blanks.

Mysterious Woman: Discrimination In The Work Place
This group has been created for any and all women that are discriminated in the work place.
Hi, my name is Stacy and I have decided to put a support group together for women that share the same problems in the work place. I myself, am a victim of sexual harrassment, discrimination, and much, much more at my job.
I am a paramedic, and am around mostly male co-workers. When I first started in EMS, I had to file a sexual harrassment complaint with Human Rights because of a man's narrow mind. I also was critized and gossiped about for many years. I have been disciplined differently than other employees as well. I could follow a medic and parrot every move and get into trouble and of course they would not.
I fought eight years for my rights and finally decided to move on to a better job with less the harassment. I recommend for those of you that are able to change and move away from the situation, to do so.
I have decreased my stress by 99% and enjoy my life now to the fullest.
So, here we go.
Let's support and help one another.

Thanks Bertalan, apartments - value for money. The distance to the subway and other transportation 3-5 minutes. The view from the apartment is gorgeous. Good luck
The studio apartment very centrly located ABD very well equipped, the host was very friendly ne also ve also make airport transfer for us. Everything was perfect if i came to Budapest definitly i will stay here.
Simple and straightforward space is mine in the center of the Buda side.
Close to Metro 2 (red line) battyany ter, trams and buses.
Kiraly spa is close by and is perhaps the most inexpensive bath in Budapest.
One being taken to and from the airport if desired. As Deal price by mail.
Will recommend to you most warmly to others on the tour who want a common standard.
Pro: Good and cheap appartment with enough room for two or max. three people, with a nice view at the paliament and very close to the Donau. Shops, public transport (bus, metro, tramway) dinner, coffee and banking only a few minutes walk. Also very close to the old city on the hill.
Con: Noisy traffic till late in the evening. Small kitchen sparcely furnitured, but it will work with a little bit of improvisation.
Overall: Real good place for a nice and cheap vacation in Buda(pest)!
An excellent apartment with everything one needs. It was ideally central on the Buda side. The Buda side a huge contrast to the Pest side. Access to all public transport and shopping malls. A short walk to the river where can gets a mind blowing view of the parliament building. The flat was very warm at all times with very comfortable furniture. Excellent Internet access. It is situated literary on the foot of ''Var'' or the famous Castle District. Would defiantly consider again.
A very pleasant apartment in central Budapest, close to a Underground station, restaurants and shops. If I go back to Budapest I will book this apartment again
Very good location , very clean. close to the danube , shops , tramway metro etc...
Good feeling in a "real" hungarian building.
The flat was perfect: not small, with functional kitchen ( with the, coffee, sugar, salt..ecc) where you can cook. The sight is really good as it is in front of the parliament. There is tv and air conditioned, the only thing wifi didn't work but I found another free one. Bertalan is very nice, he is helpful and you can always email him for any question. So I definately recommend his flat because is perfect, 10mins walking away from the donwtown, with a supermarket near. I really enoyed it and would come back. So choose it!!
Great location and wonderful view on the Parliament! Excellent point to visit the city and enjoy the night life!
We had a great time in Budapest! The apartment was really nice. It's verry close to the metro and parliament. There is also a spar supermarket in the neighborhood. I would recommend the apartment to everybody! We had everything we needed in the apartment. If we go to Budapest again, we would definitely take this apartment again. We loved the location! The host is also really friendly.
