Obama touts legislative victories, reminds GOP he's 'persistent'

President Obama touted a series of lame-duck legislative victories as an example of the bipartisan cooperation possible next year, when Republicans control the lower chamber.

During a Wednesday afternoon press conference, a visibly happy president offered high praise for a string of bills that passed during the post-election session of Congress.

"I think it's safe to say this has been the most productive post-election period we have had in decades," he said. "We are not doomed to endless gridlock."

He also urged Republicans not to cause a stalemate when they assume control of the House, and a larger minority in the Senate, when the 112th Congress convenes in January 2011.

He cautioned the GOP that he would not be a pushover, even though he again acknowledged that his party took a "shellacking" in the midterms.

"One thing I hope people have seen in this lame-duck: I am persistent," he said. "I am persistent. If I think something's important, I stay on it."

After suffering historic defeats in the November midterm elections seven weeks ago, Obama took the opportunity to climb back onto his feet by extolling the passage of his tax-cut deal, the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," legislation providing healthcare compensation for 9/11 first responders and a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia he called his "most significant national security priority."

But Obama's victories over the past several weeks don't necessarily indicate he will have the same level of success next year. GOP lawmakers have said the results of the elections show that voters want the Obama administration to scale back its agenda.

Obama — who departed the conference to join his family on vacation in his home state of Hawaii — admitted that both sides will need to compromise, but that he still would press Congress to pass his priorities.

The president acknowledged both political parties will have sharp disagreements over issues like taxes and spending under a divided government. But he expressed confidence that both sides could work together next year, saying that Republicans have nearly as much to lose as he does if the government struggles to pass legislation that aids the economy.

"I am not naive. I know there will be tough fights ahead," he said. "Both parties will be held accountable. ... I think the Republicans realize that with greater power comes greater responsibility."

The president did express serious disappointment over the failure of controversial immigration legislation known as the DREAM Act.

He said its demise in the Senate was "maybe the biggest disappointment" of the 111th Congress, mentioning energy legislation as well.

But the president reiterated he would not back down in the face of widespread Republican opposition.

"I'm going to go back at it," he said.

What's best about our country, rests on our veterans' shoulders

We often do not observe Veterans Day as it should be. It's a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our neighbors, our friends, our loved ones and our family members who have served for the betterment of this great nation.

The thing to remember about war is that there are very few moments of individual gallantry. The individual combatant rarely dwarfs his surroundings. No John Waynes to ride through a hail of enemy fire to save the day.

In fact, those one-dimensional embodiments of masculine striving are usually the first to die. Moments of war rarely allow for clarity.

War is a chaos where platoons of men are condemned to slaughter one another. War is a horror where one is ordered to kill strangers, to run in the face of enemy fire, to ignore the sight of his friends as they crumple to the ground. This lack of clarity becomes transparent to every soldier as his captain shouts, "Over the top, men, everyone out!"

In that moment, each soldier finds himself engulfed in death and confusion. There is a scene in Steven Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan,” in which a young man has his arm blown off. He stumbles around, gazing at his shattered limb, unsure of what to do.

War is detached horror.

War is confusion.

I mention this only to point out that those veterans who grappled with man's worst did so to preserve man's best. As we remember our veterans, it hardly seems enough to remember these soldiers in cliques of gallantry.

It is not enough to reduce the service of our patriots to an excuse for a really big sale — as do retailers.

It is not enough to dilute this holiday with ostentatious displays of consumerism and pageantry. After all, the importance of celebrating Veterans Day is not to celebrate per se, but to confirm the significance of their sacrifice.

Let us not forget that what is best about this country rests on our veterans' shoulders.

Lincoln will host national conference in 2013

Lincoln will be playing host to a large annual conference next year, showcasing its best attractions from July 3 to 5.

Around 200 people from England and Northern Ireland will come to the city for the Association of Town Centre Managers’ (ATCM) Summer School 2013.

The event will look at the University of Lincoln’s School of Business and Management, but delegates will also have chance to explore Lincoln.

Lincoln BIG was informed of the news when the city was presented with its Purple Flag Award.

Lincoln BIG’s Matt Corrigan said: “Securing next year’s Summer School is a real coup for the city.

“The timing is also good for us because of the investment planned in the city, particularly in tourism, and we have lots of good news and ideas to share with the visiting town centre managers and Business Improvement Districts.

“We will be able to show the visitors the UK’s Greatest Street – Steep Hill, talk about the Visit Lincoln Partnership, the introduction of the new Open Top Tour Bus, how we achieved our Purple Flag Award and how the BID works closely with key partners to ensure the city is clean, safe and attractive for locals and visitors.

“The fact that we’ve been chosen is testimony to how much we have to offer.”

This year’s ATCM’s Summer Conference held at Bristol University looked at issues surrounding the changing High Street and customers and Business Improvement District model.

ATCM Chief Executive Martin Blackwell said: “Lincoln has been a shining example of city centre and BID Management for many years.

“I am very pleased that we will be coming next year.”

The ATCM has also played a part in developing the Portas Pilot, and creating and leading the National Town Team to guide all applicants into gaining government funding.

Two Types Of People In The World…

This morning I was reading my friend’s blog about her shopping adventures – actually it was more of a quest for a lemon yellow blouse and her lament that after her intensive shopping effort she found when she got home that she didn’t like the fit of the collection of items she had picked up and indeed eventually discovered she had a lemon yellow top lying around at home all along (see www.areavoices/HOMD for more on the story).

Now my friend has to go back to all the stores she purchased items at and return them. This brings up the logical question, “Why didn’t she just try these items on at the store?” Well, in discussing this, let’s remove the time factor (she was on a quest remember -there was no time for trying on); let’s focus the discussion on the two types of people in the world – those who try on at the store and those who try on at home.

I used to be a “try on at the store” kind of gal. Those were the days when I still wore two piece bathing suits and didn’t understand the true devastation that three-way mirrors were designed to deliver to a woman’s psyche. I was naïve and had little to complain about then.

I am no longer a “try on at the store” kind of gal. I realized long ago that all the grunting, sobbing, screaming and cussing that I emitted from the dressing room was unseemly. Crowds would gather, dressing room folks would cringe as I approached with the low rise jeans, and wiser women would look away knowing full well what was coming and how avoidable it all was. It became brutally apparent that the time had come to become a “try on at home” gal. I feel that my shift from “at the store” to “at home” was of benefit to retailers everywhere. All the despair and angst that I was evidencing in the dressing rooms surely was hurting business.

America, I did this for you and even though it means that I may buy things and have to spend extra time to return them I am okay with that as I believe the three-way mirror does enough damage to your psyche without additionally having to hear me sound like I am giving birth to a 12 pound baby without an epidural in the next dressing room (it’s trying to get on those damn low rise jeans…seriously).

At home I do not have a three-way mirror. I also do not have fluorescent lighting. I try and avoid seeing myself in bright light in a full 3-D view. I want soft light and a mirror that I have to stand a bit back from to take it all in. I am, after all, near-sighted and the farther away I am the less issues I have with how things look. You can’t back away from the mirror in those tiny dressing rooms. You are surrounded by the brightly lit and brutal reality.

At home I can grunt, groan, scream, cry, rant and cuss without worrying about whether store security is going to ask me to hand over the low rise jeans and leave. At home I can at least maintain some dignity when I realize that the manufacturers have clearly mislabeled the sizing on all of the selections I have chosen. At home I can turn away from the mirror when things start to get ugly. At home I can spend an hour trying to get back off that which I just worked up a sweat trying to get on (and have a snack in-between to build back up my energy level).

Yes, I am a “try on at home” gal and that is, as Martha Stewart is known to say, “A good thing.”

Day fifty-nine of the new forty – obla di obla da

    When I have time, I try everything on in the store. That way, when it looks truly horrible, I’m not tempted to scream out loud. I’m far too polite for venting publicly.

  2. PrairieWoman

    Ever since the day in Penny’s I have never tried on anything at the store. It was more the unconsolable crying for me that did it.

    Good blog today.

    HOMD~ ah, politeness is the key…I am into public commiseration. 🙂

Reddit games the new Digg. Has 7 of its own posts on the front page.

Reddit games the new Digg. Has 7 of its own posts on the front page.

Ever since the launch of Version 4 of Digg, people have been up in arms about how the site has essentially turned into nothing more than a glorified RSS dump for sites. In case you’ve missed the news, the biggest problem behind the new version is that it allows sites to push their RSS feeds directly into their timeline, which can cause the overall quality of front-page posts to diminish.

Much has been written about the things that need to happen in order for Digg to keep its users happy, but it seems that some people are taking the matter into their own hands.

A site that is similar in function (though don’t tell its users we said that), Reddit, has decided to show first hand what can happen because of how the new site is designed:

Yes, those are indeed 7 headlines on the front page of Digg, all submitted by the Reddit RSS users, as noted in the comments of our post.

Previously, it was harder to game Digg because a user would have to submit a link and then the link would have to be up voted by the population. However, due to the random nature of Reddit’s readership, it’s now quite easy to sway the entire front page as all articles are submitted regardless of how good, bad or indifferent.

While in the past Digg users might have responded in kind by overtaking Reddit, the backlash against Digg is more apparent than ever given the comments to to the Reddit articles:

  • When you make a user-driven site, alienating the user base is a suicide.
  • Like a biblical flood, the corporate bulls**t sinks under a thick layer of user-submitted material. Even though we needed Reddit’s help, it is beautiful.
  • I go away for a day because I’m unable to bear watching Digg implode any longer and I come back to see Reddit taking total ownership of the front page. This is going from bad to utterly surreal.

So what is Kevin Rose’s next step? The first wave of changes almost certainly seem to have not been enough.

Read next: TwitJump springs forth as one of the top Twitter iPhone apps.

Shh. Here's some distraction

When I found out Bloom Cosmetics and Boost Juice had teamed up (two of Australia’s biggest success stories) to create 6 lip balms inspired by top selling juices, I was stoked. I knew my fave Boost juice, Strawberry Squeeze, would make it into the top 6 because it is one of their biggest sellers. Well, I finally got my hands on my favourite juice inspired lip balm, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts on it.

My favourite Boost Juice, Strawberry Squeeze

What I Say ….

  • The packaging is clean white plastic in an elongated oval shape. The turning thingo (english is good today!) is at the bottom and winds up without any force. It is actually the same packaging as Dermalogica’s Climate Control, except this one is white.
  • I love this shape for lip balms because it hugs the lips perfectly and I seem to stay-between-the-lines with this shape more than round shapes. Clearly I am very special.
  • The scent is distinctly strawberry but not quite the same as the real Strawberry Squeeze Boost juice. I think it is missing that mild banana element.
  • The colour is extremely subtle so I wouldn’t call this a tinted lip balm but it is definitely not colourless. As you will see in my photos below, it does give some colour.
  • The shine factor isn’t too much, and gives more of a healthy sheen.
  • If I don’t eat or drink, the lip balm stays on my lips for about 4 hours. This may last longer for those who aren’t severely dehydrated like me!
  • It has been working really well to smooth out those tiny little flakes that start to pop up. Sometimes lip balms can ‘exfoliate’ which annoys me when I am out during the day and don’t want my lips peeling even more, but this one doesn’t and I like that.
  • Unfortunately this lip balm does not contain any sun protection which is one of my key pre-requisites for a daytime lip balm.
  • It is free from parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oils and silicones for those of you who watch what goes on their skin.

Before and After: A subtle sheen camouflages my dehydration a little

If you like sweet smelling lip balms that get your lips to look a little healthier, and you don’t care too much about sun protection, than this a great balm for you.

What Bloom Say ….

We’ve taken your favourite Boost Juice smoothies and combined them in the beauty blender with soothing beeswax, nourishing jojoba seed oil and moisturising vitamin E. The result? Six mouth-watering new Bloom Lip Balms packed full of Boost flavour!

Give your lips a boost with your favourite Boost Juice flavours:

• Strawberry Squeeze

• Watermelon Crush

• Berry Bang

• Mango Tango

• Banana Buzz

• Tropical Storm

And of course we’ve stuck to our philosophy of botanical goodness, so these naturally flavoured Lip Balms are almost good enough to eat!

AU $6.95 rrp from Myer, David Jones, Bloom Flagship Store (574a Chapel Street, South Yarra, VIC, Australia), selected Boost Juice stores and of course, Bloom online

Right now there is an EXTRA special offer at David Jones and selected Myer stores. You can pick up 2 of these babies for just $10. Just jump on to the Bloom website and follow the instructions to get your voucher. The offer is only valid till the end of July so don’t diddle daddle!

Captain DeMerit: he tackles, then picks up the tab

Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit. (Photo by Jessica Haydahl/Getty Images)

A group of 25 Whitecaps supporters were thrilled to run into captain Jay DeMerit while they were drowning their sorrows after Saturday’s ugly 2-1 loss to the Timbers in Portland. They were even more thankful when the Caps’ centre back picked up their tab.

“You never know what kind of reaction you’ll get when you stumble upon a professional athlete, especially when the team he captains just lost, and when there are 25 of you doing the stumbling,” Stephen Bailey, who organizes a group known as the Handbags, wrote in an e-mail.

“He seemed even happy to see us. He was pleased to have us join him, chat shop and he even joined in the chants.

“Jay DeMerit,” Bailey summed up: “He’ll shoulder charge Becks, and then pick up the cheque.”

DeMerit tweeted out a photo of the group on Saturday night with the message: “Meeting friends who happen to be with the #handbags Caps supporters group. After a disappointing night, they have made it better. #thanks

Picking up the tab, DeMerit told the Province, was the “least I can do for fans that paid a lot to come down for THAT performance.”

Queens firm pays $38M for West 56th Street Stonehenge rental building

December 29, 2010 01:05PM
By Adam Pincus

From left: 401 West 56th Street, Ofer Yardeni and Alan Miller (building photo credit: CityRealty)
An affiliate of Flushing-based apartment rental firm Orin Management purchased the Clinton apartment building located at 401 West 56th Street from Ofer Yardeni’s Stonehenge Partners for $37.96 million.

56 Scarlett Associates, an affiliate of Orin Management which is controlled by members of the Sohn family, signed a contract in November and closed on the purchase Dec. 16, city property records published yesterday show.

The 95-unit building at the corner of Ninth Avenue was one of the first properties acquired by Yardeni’s firm, which he founded in the early 1990s with Joel Seiden. Stonehenge bought it in April 1995 for $5.8 million, the company said in a press release. Orin Management did not respond to requests for comment.

The only building acquired earlier that is still in the portfolio of nearly 20 properties is 202-210 West 89th Street, purchased in January 1995.

Stonehenge was represented by Alan Miller, a senior director at Eastern Consolidated.

Orin Management affiliates own properties such as the 77-unit rental building at 330 Wadsworth Avenue in Fort George, and a 56-unit apartment building, 114 Elliot Place, in the Bronx.

WATCH: Ted Cruz SCHOOLS Mark Halperin on Muslim neighborhood question

report this ad

Mark Halperin actually asked Ted Cruz what he would say to a young child in a Muslim neighborhood who saw police there. But Ted Cruz didn’t take the bait and went on to school Halperin on the actual issues at stake here and why police are not the enemy:

Cruz totally nailed it:

You ask what would someone think if they saw a police presence? Listen, the police are here to protect us!

I categorically reject the view of Democrats that the police are the bad guys. And people are fed up with this notion that every time there is an incident, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Bill de Blasio side with the criminals, the looters, with the thugs, rather than the brave men and women of blue.

I’m proud to stand with the police!

…When we have police in a community, it protects that community and keeps it safe and we need to stop pretending radical Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist and instead work to defeat it and keep this country safe.

That’s how you handle liberal attacks designed as innocent questions.

As Thor would say, Ted Cruz just took Mark Halperin to the learning center!

Book Spotlight: Rendezvous with Rumpelstiltskin

If you love fairytale adaptations then you will love this tale from Annalynne Russo

Finn Rumpelstiltskin is a wealthy playboy descended from a long line of European royals. A count with boyish good lucks and an infectious smile, he seduces women with the grace and skill of a master swordsman. Until an insignificant one night stand changes his life forever. Horribly disfigured by a spurned lover and her sorceress mother, Finn is forced to learn the meaning of the phrase, Beauty is only skin-deep.

Katarina Krauss is a rare and exquisite jewel. On the cusp of womanhood, the talented weaver must decide whether to save her family from financial ruin, or follow her heart. Thrust into the hands of Aleksander Othman, a ruthless warlord eager to manipulate her gift and steal her virtue, Katarina must spin a heap of straw into a stack of gold.

Will Finn’s magic help Katarina escape Aleksander’s evil clutches? Can he win her heart and reclaim his soul?

“Betsy, you may be dismissed,” Aleksander said to the governess. As soon as the older woman disappeared out of sight, he advanced on Katarina. He lifted her hand and laid a kiss on her limber wrist. He stepped back, then twirled her around as if on the floor of a ballroom. She pirouetted twice before he stopped her. Aleksander clutched her hip with an unyielding grip and pulled her against his strong, athletic build, his erection flush against her thigh. Katarina’s fingers automatically grasped his broad shoulders to keep from falling. At the same time, he inclined his head to whisper in her ear. “I make it a habit to treat my guests well. As long as they deliver what is expected.”

It was obvious Aleksander wasn’t talking about her work on the spinning wheel. Katarina cleared her throat and stepped backward toward the bed. Her captor pursued her, his intent clearly sexual. She picked up the gold fabric she had woven and whirled around to face him. “Here is the textile you asked me to weave,” she said, anything to distract him from his mission to seduce her.

He took a brief gander at the material, then turned his attention back to Katarina. This time, so close she could smell the brandy on his breath.“Very nice. But that’s not the only reason I brought you to my estate,” he said as he cornered her body between the wall and the bedpost. She had nowhere to run. No place to hide from the onslaught of his desire. “I need to taste you.”

Suddenly his mouth descended upon her sensitive skin, leaving a trail of kisses behind her earlobe and down the slender column of her throat. His fiery-hot tongue ignited a blazing inferno along her untouched flesh. Katarina moaned and draped her languid arms over his well-defined shoulders to keep her balance. She suddenly felt weak. Light-headed. Ready to pass out. She had to speak up, before she lost her nerve. “Please, Mr. Othman. If you have any respect for my honor, stop this madness!”

Aleksander drew back and stared at her, his decisiveness unwavering. His eyes wandered to her breasts for only a moment, before he yanked on the lace fabric of her bodice, revealing her achy, swollen bosom. One cherry-red nipple peeked its head out of her corset. A draft hit her exposed skin and sent a chill up her spine. It was enough to cause her nipple to bead expectantly, begging for his
eager caress. Katarina whimpered as his thumb grazed the tip. Heat exploded between her thighs, and liquid from her womb drizzled down the inside of her leg.

“No need to worry your pretty little head, Katarina. We’re just having a bit of fun. I plan to leave you fully intact. At least for tonight.” Without warning, he turned her in his arms and pressed her lithe curves flat against the stone wall. He nudged her legs apart, lifted her gown, and delicately removed the matching red panties he’d left for her earlier. Each stroke was purposeful. Each movement precise and deliberate as if unwrapping a gift on Christmas morning.

Then he stepped away and gawked at her nakedness. Katarina watched him out of the corner of her eye. His mouth gaped open, saliva forming in the hollows of his lips in preparation for an all-out invasion. Katarina could feel his gaze focused on her rear, on the delicate flesh of her womanhood that glistened in the early morning sunlight.

Aleksander extended his index finger and slid it over her heated nub, down her thigh and over her round bottom, collecting the sweet nectar that pooled in the crevice between the two. Katarina writhed in his arms. Her knees grew weak. Aleksander seemed to relish her enthusiastic response. He lifted his finger to his lips to savor Katarina’s unique flavor. He leaned his forehead against her back and groaned. “Hmm. Just as succulent as I dreamed.”

Katarina leveraged her sweat-soaked body against the cool pavers plastered to the wall. She took in deep inhalations of air to calm her battered nerves. “Sir, why are you doing this?” she asked. “Because I can.” With his forehead still pressed between her shoulder blades, he let out a wicked laugh. His heated breath glided across her prickly skin. A moment later, he slipped her dress and undergarments back into place and stepped away. He snatched up the gold material laid across the foot of the bed and bolted to the door.

“Now get back to your work at the spinning wheel. I have business to attend to in Berlin. But I shall return in a matter of days to check on your progress. And if you’re a good little slave, I’ll reward you with a night of pleasure the likes of which your virtuous flesh could never imagine. Even in your wildest dreams.”

There are two themes Bill O'Brien has asked every Penn State fan to consider in the days after the disappointing season-opening loss to Ohio.

One is that his Nittany Lions are predominantly a young team. In fact, every skill position player they started on offense last Saturday, with the exception of senior quarterback Matt McGloin, was seeing his first extended game action.

The other is that young teams typically have plenty to learn.

There were no shortage of talking points come practice time for the Nittany Lions as they prepared to face Virginia on Saturday in Charlottesville, and O'Brien insists that despite the climate at Penn State, despite the off-field issues and depth problems focused on by the media, the difference between winning and losing at Virginia will be determined by whether his team can make plays it didn't against the Bobcats.

"We turned it over, they didn't turn it over," O'Brien said. "They converted on 3rd down in the second half on offense, we didn't convert on our offense on 3rd down in the second half. We had chances to break passes up, make interceptions. We had chances to hit guys that were wide open or catch the ball being wide open, and we did not make those plays and Ohio did.

"Again, there's no excuses to be made there but we have, in many areas, a young football team. In other areas a little bit more veteran team. So the veterans need to play better, and the younger guys are going to get better."

One area several players noticed needed immediate improvement just after Saturday's game: finishing off drives.

The Nittany Lions had several drives that started well and ended with a thud. Their opening drive amassed 67 yards over 11 plays, but Bill Belton fumbled at the Ohio 21.

Twice in the second half, with chances either to extend a dwindling lead or tie the game, the Nittany Lions had drives of better than eight plays. Neither resulted in points. Their opening drive of the third quarter went 11 plays, but died at the Ohio 30 when McGloin overshot Allen Robinson in the end zone on fourth-and-5.

With the score 17-14 in the fourth, the Nittany Lions started a drive at their 22, drove into Ohio Territory in four plays, and then got stymied. They failed to gain a yard after a first-and-10 at the Ohio 46.

"It's just an experience thing," McGloin said. "There were lots of guys playing their first games out there, and I guess they just didn't know what to expect. We did put together a lot of nice drives Saturday. But we couldn't finish.

"We've been preparing hard in practice, but that's no substitute for game reps. With those nine- or 10-play drives, we've just got to push harder, finish off those drives and hopefully put points on the board."

Executing in the clutch comes with experience, but it isn't something that can be completely ignored in practice, either.

Tight end Kyle Carter said that even though the tens of thousands of fans and the atmosphere of a game can't be replicated on a practice field, the same principles that can get a young team over the hump in games are the same ones that can be fine-tuned every day during the week.

"It's just getting the ball, throwing it to the right person, that person catching the ball and then everybody making their blocks," Carter said. "It's getting the right assignments, don't miss the ball and get to the sticks. Experience has something to do with it as well, and we're still a young team on offense, except at quarterback. But this is just something we're going to have to get used to."

The Nittany Lions hope they can get used to making key plays soon, so they don't have to get used to the same results throughout the fall. They can do that, they say, if they stay together and stay patient.

"After everything we've been through, I don't see anything tearing us apart as a team," fullback Michael Zordich said. "The big thing will be having a short-term memory. Forget what happened...

"Actually, don't forget what happened. Learn from what happened."

Wu Tang Clan ain’t nothing to mess with and here’s why…

A member of the Wu-Tang affiliated group Killarmy, Jeryl Grant, also known as Killa Sin was arrested last week. Grant was charged on second-degree attempted murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Grant is accused of having allegedly shot a man near the Sangita Shala night club in Staten Island after a confrontation on Saturday morning. According to Grant, he had attended a birthday party at the night club and while walking to his car saw a group of people waiting for him. After an exchange of words, Darnell Brown, 33, was injured during the incident.

He has had his share of trouble with the law over recent years, having been arrested while on parole after serving a four-year sentence for an attempted weapon possession conviction in 2007. Grant served a three year sentence for a weapon possession conviction in 2003.

Grant was featured on Ghostface Killah’s most recent album “Twelve Reasons To Die.”

Why Transgender People Are Being Murdered at a Historic Rate

The number of transgender people murdered in the U.S. this year is at a historic high of 15, activists say — with over four months still to go

In the windows of some small cafes and churches around Central Brooklyn, there are little white stickers with rainbow-colored writing. These signs put up by the Audre Lorde Project say “Safe Space,” designating those buildings as places of sanctuary for LGBT people who are experiencing harassment or violence on the street.

Despite New York City’s inclusive policies for LGBT residents, the borough of Brooklyn still saw four “hate violence” incidents against them in the space of just two weeks this summer, according to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP). People were threatened with death, they report, punched in the face, slurred at, socked with rocks.

For one particular community, these instances of violence happening around the country have higher chance of becoming fatal. On Aug. 14 the number of transgender people murdered in America this year hit a historic high of 15, according to advocacy organizations like the National Center for Transgender Equality. This somber milestone was hit when the remains of Elisha Walker, 20, were discovered in a North Carolina field several months after she went missing. Like the majority of the other victims, Elisha was not just transgender but a young transgender woman of color.

“These are all characteristics of people in the United States who are more susceptible to violence,” says the Center’s Mara Keisling, “of people who are more marginalized economically and educationally, people who end up having a bullseye on their back.”

The legal victories and increased media coverage of LGBT people in recent months has been largely positive for the community, experts like Keisling say. More people feel comfortable coming out, giving others the chance to meet and befriend someone who is transgender or gay, building the personal relationships that activists say are often the foundation for acceptance.

But the heightened visibility has also put more people at risk of being harassed or hurt. While images of Caitlyn Jenner receiving a standing ovation accepting an award in a Versace dress might seem to herald a sunny time for transgender Americans, most of them are still greatly disadvantaged socially and economically.

“Right now we’re experiencing a Dickensian time, where it’s the best of times and it’s the worst of times at once,” says transgender rights advocate Masen Davis, who formerly ran the Transgender Law Center. “We’re seeing a marked increase in the public awareness about transgender people and really incredible progress for trans rights, especially from a legal perspective. At the same time, we still represent and are part of a community that experiences incredibly high rates of unemployment, poverty and violence.”

Transgender people are four times more likely than the general population to report living in extreme poverty, making less than $10,000 per year, a standing that sometimes pushes them to enter the dangerous trade of sex work. Nearly 80% of transgender people report experiencing harassment at school when they were young. As adults, some report being physically assaulted trains and buses, in retail stores and restaurants. Greater awareness has not yet translated into broad acceptance, says Kris Hayashi, executive director of the Transgender Law Center: “The majority of society does not understand who transgender people are in ways that lead to the violence and the murder and the harassment that we’re seeing.”

The risk is even greater for transgender women of color, who often grapple with both transphobia and racism. Sixteen of the at least 20 LGBT people murdered in 2014 were people of color, according to the NCAVP; 11 were transgender women, and 10 were transgender women of color. “People who are marginalized both because of their race and being transgender, it’s like a double whammy,” says Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights.

These figures likely don’t give a full picture of violence against the transgender community. Though a federal hate crimes law requires the collection of some statistics related to violence against transgender people, experts are dubious about the numbers they’re getting. “A lot of jurisdictions report zeroes, even in places where we know there are hate crimes,” Keisling says. Most state laws don’t require the collection of such statistics, according to Minter.

He says numbers are often misreported too. Incidents may not be determined to be hate crimes because there was no investigation, for instance. Crimes against transgender men like Brandon Teena—who was raped and murdered in Nebraska before his story was told in the film Boys Don’t Cry—may be recorded as crimes against women because many don’t have the money (or desire) for medical intervention.

The NCAVP, which collects the most complete figures on hate crimes against LGBT people, notes that the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated there may be 40 times more hate crimes occurring nationally than the FBI reports. Overall, the NCAVP has been receiving far fewer reports of hate violence toward the LGBT community in the last two years, down to 1,359 incidents in 2014. But they say this is a result of the collection process, not “an actual decrease of bias-based violence,” and they say their statistics do not represent exhaustive national numbers.

Minter says that the murder rate, as well as the chronic harassment many transgender people face, is best tackled through better education and more community-based programs, like those white stickers in Brooklyn windows that create networks of support among people who walk the same streets each day. Hate crime legislation is helpful in sending a message about the value of lives, he says, but it’s not going to solve the problem.

“We all have a responsibility to stop this violence,” he says, “and that means if you see a transgender person being harassed, we all have an obligation to speak up, to do something.”

Karnal Apna Ghar sexual exploitation case: 19 days on, police clueless

TNN | Aug 22, 2012, 06.17 AM IST

KARNAL: Even 19 days of registering a case against Monika Das and Manav Das, caretaker and manager, respectively, of the Apna Ghar shelter home, which came under the scanner after three minor girls had accused the management of sexual and physical exploitation, the district police has so far failed to arrest Monika Das.

Meanwhile, the Fight for Justice Club, a body floated by the local lawyers has demanded that the proceedings should be initiated against Monika Das to declare her a proclaimed offender for eluding arrests. President of the club Harish Arya said, it was beyond comprehension that when the Delhi police could zero in on state minister Gopal Kanda, why couldn't it arrest Monika Das.

It was on August 2 that the police had registered a case against Monika Das, after the general medical examination of two out of 11 inmates of the Apna Ghar had confirmed physical abuse. Two days later the police had also booked Manav Das, the under matriculate, who acted both as the manager and computer teacher at the shelter home. He was immediately placed under arrest and was remanded in five-day police remand. After which the court had sent him in judicial custody.

However, Monika Das, who was the prime accused in the case, has been eluding ever since the case was registered against her. SP Shashank Anand had been maintaining that their teams were working on the case round-the-clock to arrest the accused.

Rees leads Notre Dame to win, Stanford stopped at goal line

On fourth and goal Stanford was unable to get into the endzone. Notre Dame had beaten Stanford. A review confirmed the decision. Stepfan Taylor was stopped short of the goal line as he scrumbled to get into the endzone he fumbled the ball over the goal line. Tommy Rees completed a seven yard touchdown pass to TJ Jones on first overtime drive for Notre Dame.

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said that you can’t be ahead all of the time and said that “there was no question. His forward progress was stopped” in regards to the final play of the game.

With just over three minutes left, Rees entered as quarterback for Notre Dame. Rees had spent the majority of the game on the bench behind Everett Golson in Saturday’s game against Stanford but was now being called upon to win another one for the Irish.

Golson left the game after a late hit to the head following a scramble for a first down.

Rees came into the game and fired a 12 yard pass over the middle, a play later Stanford was called for pass interference. Notre Dame had reached Stanford’s 13 yard line. Kyle Brindza would be called upon to kick a field goal once the drive stalled out.

The game had not been a pretty one for either team. With a steady stream of rain coming down in South Bend all evening the field was wet which amounted to sloppy play at times for both teams.

Notre Dame scored the first points of the game on Kyle Brindza field goal from 29 yards. In the second quarter a fumble by Golson was returned for a Cardinal touchdown.Stanford added a field goal just before half time.

Everett Golson completed a touchdown of 24 yards to Tyler Eifert early in the fourth quarter. Stanford would notch another field goal.

whatever it takes, kick till it breaks:
It's like the Iranian regime is daring me to want them overthrown.
--Spencer Ackerman
"It's like the Iranian regime is daring me to want them overthrown."

Why does everything have to be about you?
Blogger D. Ghirlandaio | 1:41 PM

Well, it is my blog.
Blogger spencerackerman | 2:03 PM

You want "hard thinking on Iran"?
Ignore the post here but read the comments.

Ahmadinejad is not the leader of Iran, he is the president and as such has no power over foreign policy. He was elected as a populist winning the protest vote against corruption of among other things the religious elite. Seyyed Ali Khamenei is the Supreme Leader as he was over Khatami and has to deal with his troublesome, uneducated, rabble-rousing and more extreme underling.

We're the one's with the official First Strike policy and you complain that your feelings are hurt by a PR stunt?
As with your "observations" about Iraqi nationalism you should be asking questions not answering them with the caveat[!] that you don't really know enough to have an educated opinion.
Blogger D. Ghirlandaio | 2:05 PM

d. ghirlandaio,
Not to sound like Spencer's hit-monkey or anything, butw hy come to Spencer's blog only to post malicious comments and irrelevent analysis?

You tell us that Ahmadinejad is not the true leader of Iran as if that's some profound, esoteric fact. Of course he isn't the leader, the government is a theocracy. Khameini has final say not merely over foreign policy matters, but over all governmental affairs. If you think that the Holocaust-Denialstock festival didn't have the blessing of the Ayatollahs, you need to think your thoughts through a little better.

Your criticism of Spencer's criticism of this event appears largely non-sensical to me as well. Nobody is talking about First Strike policies, or even US policy for that matter. Spencer made a snarkish single sentence post, that (at least to me) seemed to indicate that despite the way in which the Iranians attempt to paint themselves--as oppressed underdogs--to seek world sympathy, they are a rather despicable lot.

Additionally, your continued harping on Spencer's use of the phrase "as best I can tell" is laughable. He's a foreign policy reporter who has been to Iraq. Utilizing his knowledge and experience, he wrote an observation about Iraqi nationalism and labeled it as an appeared truth. Due to what I imagine (I'm sure you will find fault with me having an imagination) is the complexity of the subject, Spencer was cautious and did not relay his observation as an impermeable fact. Perhaps I'm just dim, but I see nothing wrong with this. I guess he could have wrote this statement as a question, although that seems to be more of a matter of syntax than you having found a falacy in his argument.

"If you think that the Holocaust-Denialstock festival didn't have the blessing of the Ayatollahs"

There are factions and those factions are not unified.
Did Khatami have the backing of Ayatollahs? if so which ones? Gimme details not hot air. List the Iranian proposals that got shot down by the US only because the iranians refused to kiss our collective ass. The people of the United States can't be counted on to even know the name Mossadegh, let alone the meaning of "Savak." Yet American liberals are debating first strikes and what do we do about the Iranian "threat"?

I'm not going to get my back up over a PR stunt starring David Duke, Robert Faurisson and a few Satmar Rebbi's in a country with the largest Jewish population in the middle east outside of Israel.
Blogger D. Ghirlandaio | 3:47 PM

Once again your comments seem largely unrelated to my arguments. That the American people would debate preemptive strikes on Iran without knowing the name of the Shah's prime minister may or may not be a valuable discussion to have, although it has no relevence to our current debate.

As for my use of "the Ayatollahs", I probably should have said something like, "Khamenei and his clerical allies." Of course not all of the religious leaders of Iran agree on all policy matters and that's a fair point, I suppose.

As far as Khatami having the backing of the Ayatollahs, you've got me. Although I once again don't see how this relates to our debate, I've read that Khatami's reform-minded government did unnerve many of the clerical leaders, although all candidates that run for election in Iran need at least the approval of the Ayatollahs. But as to whether or not they backed him...well I'd probably say, "there are factions and those factions are not unified." Or at the very least, you'd probably say that.

"without knowing the name of the Shah's prime minister..."

without quibbling, could we have a bit more here?
Blogger D. Ghirlandaio | 8:09 PM

Quibbles and bits. That's what you're all about though, right? I clicked over to your blog and your top post had this little gem:

And Spencer Ackerman is another teenage putz. I've had a little fun with him on his page. He writes to express his opinions even while admitting he doesn't have the right to have them. A true Pundit. An American liberal in every sense of the word that makes me cringe.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You are the type of narcissistic prick that would troll someone's blog, then post little inane comments accusing the blogger of all sorts of bullshit because he's younger, and smarter than you, or because he wrote "best I can tell", THEN link to it on your own irrelevent (like your comments here) blog, while congratulating yourself because nobody else will. I mean who else would? Your blog only a 22 hits a day.

It's kind of pathetic really. What with you coming here, throwing out the lamest of arguments--arguments that I quite frankly was fortunate to rip to shreds. Not because I'm especially intelligent, just because I was the first person to respond. Then you linking back from your little site, with your little upside down American flag because you are so original/clever/recalcitrant. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

1969 De Tomaso Mangusta

Having access to one of the 401 DeTomaso Mangustas makes you rare Italian royalty, but the opportunity at a true survivor barn find can crown you the king amongst kings. This 8,783 original mile car has had only had two owners, and the same one since 1970. The amazingly low mileage is the fodder for lost car tales, but it has been professionally resurrected and ready to be driven or collected...your choice. It's an early serial numbered car, and it's even still on the original 1970 Florida title right now!So how does a beautiful Italian-American only average less than 190 miles annually? It was sold new in California, and less than a year later it went to the second owner who moved it to Florida. The coupe was titled in FL, and was used on the road sparingly throughout the 1970s. In 1979, this exotic then went into long-term storage, although we have registration documentation for times when it was tucked away in other words, we believe the Mangusta was kept like a prized possession. The car was taken out of storage early in 2016, and it has been given a thorough and complete resurrection. Particular care was taken with keeping as much of the surviving components intact, and only changing those that were essential for driving (e.g. the four tires were replaced, but the original spare remains.) The gold paint highlights the truly precious metal that came from the mind of legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro during his time at Ghia. We believe this is the original paintjob, and just like Cindy Crawford, it looks so much more fantastic than we ever expected a 45+ year-old to be. Also like a supermodel, this Mangusta still has beautiful lines and the gaps that seem perfectly symmetrical. It's so original even the iconic Campagnolo magnesium wheels haven't had any work done. You'll really understand how special this survivor is when you open the door. Evidence of proper storage is everywhere, especially on the black leather buckets that feel nearly new. In fact, the only pieces that we can identify as replaced are a few areas of carpeting, but even the factory floor mats come with this time capsule. You'll slip behind the real wood and leather wheel and marvel at the original dashboard. It's then that you realize a full package of glowing Veglia gauges and toggle switches never go out of style. Neither do luxuries like power windows, the original AM/FM radio, or air conditioning. The often-lost engine covers are even included - an essential detail that separates first place from second at the concours.Why are there gullwing doors for the engine compartment? Because fine china deserves a grand glass case. With the luggage cover removed, we are free to see the 302 cubic-inch Ford V8 in all its glory. The motor looks great with its twin snorkel intake and DeTomaso valve covers. What might be even more substantial viewed through gullwing windows is the ZF five-speed transaxle. This full powertain is original to the car and has been serviced, including new brake lines and fuel system, so that it's ready to enjoy. Backing up this package is a race-inspired chassis, four-wheel disc brakes, and the grip of new BF Goodrich tires. Now we've got an interesting situation, because this might be the finest survivor Mangusta you'll ever see. But with even with its rarity, it will be hard to resist taking this unique classic out for a drive.This is a beautiful car with nearly half a century of a story to tell. It backs this up with plenty of documentation, including the original 1970 Florida title, January 1970 dealer invoice, many registration records, and an authentic DeTomaso Mangusta brochure. The original toolkit is even included in the sale! You already know how rare this classic supercar is, and the exceptional opportunity this is to obtain it. So call today or lose the best Mangusta survivor to your rival.

The Chimp and the River: How AIDS Emerged from an African Forest

The Chimp and the River How AIDS Emerged by David QuammenIn this “frightening and fascinating masterpiece” (Walter Isaacson), David Quammen explores the true origins of HIV/AIDS.

The real story of AIDS―how it originated with a virus in a chimpanzee, jumped to one human, and then infected more than 60 million people―is very different from what most of us think we know.

Recent research has revealed dark surprises and yielded a radically new scenario of how AIDS began and spread.

Excerpted and adapted from the book Spillover, with a new introduction by the author, Quammen’s hair-raising investigation tracks the virus from chimp populations in the jungles of southeastern Cameroon to laboratories across the globe, as he unravels the mysteries of when, where, and under what circumstances such a consequential “spillover” can happen.

An audacious search for answers amid more than a century of data, The Chimp and the River tells the haunting tale of one of the most devastating pandemics of our time.

*10 innings
Managers: Connie Mack, Athletics; John McGraw, Giants
Notes: The only two teams to lose three consecutive World Series. The Tigers did it in '07, '08, '09, Chief Bender, a Chippewa Indian, won both his starts for the Athletics.
Giants manager John McGraw, still smarting from consecutive World Seriess defeats, desperately wanted to beat Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics. Unfortunately for McGraw, as the World Series opened two of his regulars -- center fielder Fred Snodgrass and first baseman Fred Merkle -- were nursing injuries. Snodgrass would play, but sparingly, and Merkle's mobility was limited.

Already leading 3-1 in the fifth inning of Game 1, the Athletics scored another pair of runs when Home Run Baker blasted a two-run homer into the right-field bleachers. Given that big lead, A's starter Chief Bender allowed three runs in the bottom of the inning, but he clamped down and finished off a 6-4 Philadelphia victory.

With the World Series switching cities each game, Christy Mathewson and Eddie Plank both spun shutouts through nine innings of Game 2, but the Giants scored three times in the 10th on Matty's RBI single and Art Fletcher's two-run hit. Mathewson retired the A's in order in the bottom of the inning, and the Series was evened. Game 3 saw little drama, as the Athletics scored five runs in the first two innings on their way to an easy 8-2 win. Bullet Joe Bush went the distance to earn the victory, allowing only five hits. Philly made it two straight with a 6-5 win in Game 4. Chief Bender enjoyed a 6-0 lead after six frames, then held on as the Giants nearly mounted a comeback.

In Game 5, even the great Mathewson wasn't enough to keep the Giants alive, as Eddie Plank tossed a two-hitter. Home Run Baker, who led all World Series hitters with seven RBIs, knocked in two runs to lead the Athletics to the clinching victory, 3-1. For John McGraw, losing three straight World Series to the hated American Leaguers was a bitter pill.

th The five overseas convention on Hybrid synthetic Intelligence platforms (HAIS 2010) has develop into a distinct, proven and huge interdisciplinary discussion board for researchers and practitioners who're excited by constructing and using symbolic and sub-symbolic concepts aimed toward the development of hugely powerful and trustworthy problem-solving concepts, and bringing the main appropriate achievements during this box. Overcoming the inflexible encasing imposed via the coming up orthodoxy within the box of arti- cial intelligence, which has resulted in the partition of researchers into so-called components or fields, curiosity in hybrid clever platforms is becoming simply because they provide freedom to layout leading edge strategies to the ever-increasing complexities of real-world pr- lems. Noise and uncertainty demand probabilistic (often Bayesian) equipment, whereas the massive volume of knowledge occasionally asks for quick heuristic (in the experience of suboptimal and ad-hoc) algorithms in a position to supply solutions in applicable time frames. excessive dim- sionality calls for linear and non-linear dimensionality relief and have extr- tion algorithms, whereas the imprecision and vagueness demand fuzzy reasoning and linguistic variable formalization. not anything impedes real-life difficulties to combine diffic- ties, offering large amounts of noisy, imprecise and high-dimensional facts; consequently, the layout of recommendations needs to be in a position to hotel to any device of the alternate to assault the matter. Combining different paradigms poses tough difficulties of computational and methodological interfacing of a number of formerly incompatible methods. this can be, therefore, the atmosphere of HAIS convention sequence, and its expanding luck is the evidence of the energy of this interesting box.

Lake Wood 2015 Survey Report media download(PDF 365.2 KB)

If you have difficulty accessing the information in this document, contact the TPWD Inland Fisheries Division for assistance.

Lake Wood - 2015 Survey Report

Prepared by Greg Binion
Inland Fisheries Division – Corpus Christi District

This is the authors' summary from a 12-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.

Fish populations in Lake Wood (H-5) were surveyed in 2015 using electrofishing and trap netting and in 2016 using gill netting, yet these data will not be presented due to current reservoir conditions. In March 2016, the dam structure suffered a gate failure and dewatering of the reservoir occurred. A management plan for the reservoir has been prepared and will be initiated once the dam structure is repaired (scheduled summer 2017) and reservoir fills to conservation pool.

Reservoir Description

Lake Wood (488 acres) is located on the Guadalupe River in Gonzales County, and was constructed in 1931 by the Texas Hydroelectric Commission. Its main purposes are for water supply, hydro-power production and recreation. Angler and boat access is adequate with two public boat ramps; however there are no handicap-specific facilities at either location. Primary habitat consisted of boat docks, rocks, floating-leaved vegetation, emergent vegetation, non-native vegetation, and woody debris. In spring 2016, the reservoir suffered a gate failure on the dam structure and dewatering ensued. Guadalupe Blanco River Authority (GBRA) has plans to repair the structure and is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2017.

Management History

Important sport fish include Channel and Flathead Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and crappies. Blue Catfish have been stocked in this reservoir but are not the dominant catfish species. The 2012 management plan focused on working with GBRA on the control of water hyacinth, monitoring water lettuce and East Indian hygrophila, and publicizing recreational fishing opportunity. Guadalupe Blanco River Authority controlled water hyacinth through contracted herbicide operations and winter lake drawdowns. Combined, these efforts were effective at controlling water hyacinth. Triploid Grass Carp were stocked in 2014 and were an effective control for hydrilla. TPWD monitored water lettuce and East Indian hygrophila, but neither plant was problematic. Reservoir fisheries were publicized through local media outlets.

Fish Community

Due to reservoir conditions, fish community data are not presented. Historical fisheries data are available in the 2011 Management Survey Report.

Sponsorship Part Deux – Vainglorious

Rite of Passage – Ladies Room

May 20, 2012 Comments (2) Musings

Rite of Passage – Mens Room

While we are proud runners there are times when we are not so proud. It’s when your pace starts to fall off and then you feel the weighted rumble from the engine room that something is headed for the exhaust pipe. Oh no…it’s time for the dreaded potty break…and not the kind that can be discretely performed while on the lookout for passing cars or farmers with shotguns. It’s the kind best saved for the porcelain throne at home with the latest issue of Runner’s World magazine. You would think between 22 feet of small intestines and 4.9 feet of large intestines there would be enough room for it to just stay in place. But noooooo! Here come The Trots!

There are a few terms my running friends and I like to incorporate when speaking in public about our body-business. We’re men and take great pride in our body functions whether it be in volume (noise) or volume (size). I guess we’re still basking in the glory of discovering fire and inventing the wheel and think we can get away with our behavior. Behind every seriously poised male is a boyish giggle that’s a cheek-squeak away.

The first is “Code16” referring to the 16th letter of the alphabet…I’ll wait…see, clever. Taking a pee break is no big deal. With today’s skimpy running shorts I feel exposed most of the time as it is. Going Code 16 is not as tricky as its dreaded bigger brother.

The second term is “Sick Bear” as in “Wow, I was running and came across something that must have been left by a “sick bear.”  When I was running in China last year I used the term “Sick Panda” to be geographically sensitive. The Sick Bear is the most feared moment on any run. To beat this fear you need to embrace your Sick Bear…let me rephrase…Just accept you are going to poop when you run. Why worry and read countless articles on what and when to eat to avoid this issue. Just plan on going. Dogs, deer, foxes, coyotes, cats, bear and countless other animals poop outside why can’t we?

Going outside is a great experience. Much better than the Fecal-Time Machine known as the Port-o-Let. Nothing like seeing what everyone else has done in the 2 hours before a race. Next to the Port-o-Let should be the Acid-o-Bath. There are other reasons to fear the “Plastic Case of Commotion”

The more frequent you run and the longer you run you will eventually find yourself hiding as best one can and doing something you would rather do at home with proper amenities…and I don’t mean soap (but that would be nice too). Here are a few tips:

1. Do your “Code16” first or you could make a real mess by peeing into the back of your shorts. Yes, the voice of experience.

2. Wait until the last possible moment. It’s quicker and the feeling of desperation helps with Catholic guilt and shyness. I did a sick bear on a group run and when I caught back up to the group they were amazed I went at all. It was a 10-second pit stop. Take that NASCAR!

3. Stomp on the high grass before squatting or you might get a little tickle or surprise. I once started getting into my stance only to see a snake between my feet! When I backed up to get away I almost tripped over a duck that came screeching out of the weeds. I was scared sh*tless but saved a duck from being attacked by a snake. That duck owes me big time!

4. During a race you will want to exit the course a few feet and face possible oncoming traffic. They would rather see your smile… Don’t drop a 2 near water sources (lakes/streams). Some race bibles ask you bury your duty 6” in the ground. Then there’s something called “smearing.”

5. Just accept it as being part of an elite group. You run long enough and frequent enough to need this type of break. Good for you!

6. Before taking a stab at local vegetation for help in the cleaning process you better know your plants.

7. Never trust a fart. Especially past mile 40 of any run. Russian Roulette is not a game you want to play in your shorts. Odds are the weapon is loaded.

Of course we can’t always run in the woods free from sight. Sometime we are in a neighborhood or busier section of town. What do you do then? Go where the graffiti is! This is usually somewhere off the beaten path and somewhat secluded.

Like I said, I’m not proud but I am a runner and I’m not stopping. HAPPY TRAILS!
