The Mortgage Bailout

Details have been released on the proposed mortgage bailout.

It appears that banks will be invited to lower the interest rate and/or the principal to get the borrower’s payment down to 31% of their income. This should result in a cost to the bank that’s less that that of foreclosure. In theory. Given that the cost of foreclosure is estimated to be as high as 50% of the home’s value, the loan modification plan may save us all some money in the long term. The government is going to offer banks a portion of their expense, a dollar for dollar match to reduce the expense ratio from 38% to 31%, but it seems the bank has to first fund the plan to get down to 38%. I don’t know if the President received my note suggesting that we implement a clawback on all overpaid bankers’ income goung back for the last decade, that would fund much if not all of this plan.

  • V. Fogarty March 10, 2009, 2:10 pm

    I am 100% AGAINST any bailout of homeowners who lived high on the hog and now the savers should pay to have the mortgages reduced? No rewards for bad behavior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might want to envison how many seniors feel about the bailout — they get less than 1% interest on their savings and retirement accounts — while those who acted like drunken sailors are rewarded with lower payments on their homes. And what about this so-called free money that those being bailed out will be getting — should they not owe Uncle Sam Federal Tax and their respective states State income tax on the freebees?

    For the next few years seniors will be getting next to nothing in interest on their savings accounts supposed to be giving them the “good life” they saved up for. Now thanks to the politicians they will be scrimping and doing without just to bailout these undeserving jerks.

    Sign me angry and waiting for the 2010 election!!!!!!!!!!

I was very satisfied with these frame covers. Good quality. They won't fall off, because they are secured instead of using the stick on ones that I had purchased before that did fall off. I was able to use the swingarm bolt covers I already had on my bike. They were a little better looking, not plain like the ones that came with the covers. But overall... this was a good purchase.

questions & answers: itinerary check

tokyo, osaka, kobe, kyoto

Tokyo, osaka, kobe, kyoto

Hi, we plan to visit Japan this 2015 July. We are family of 4. First visit to Japan.
This will be our itinerary. Is it worth it to buy the 7 days Japan rail pass? Also, how easy is it to travel to the stations from hotels? Also, are all the trains bullet train? Thank you.

Hello there,

The JR Pass would be worth it if you return to Tokyo after Kyoto, if you stay in Kyoto then it would be better to buy normal tickets.

It depends on the hotel of course, however public transport in Japan is very good and it should not take too long to get there.

Not all trains in Japan are bullet trains, however Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto all have a bullet train station.

Hope this helps,

If this is your first trip, I would suggest that you stay close to the stations. There are many comfortable and affordable hotels at and close to all railway stations. Plus JR pass not only allows you unlimited travel on certain bullet trains but also unlimited travels on JR trains which is an alternative to metro or underground ( especially in Tokyo ).

Order your Japan Rail Pass Online

Starting from $254.00 for 7 days of unlimited Japan Rail travel

Way Stations    page 40

by Elizabeth Robins

Hypertext formatting by Joanne E. Gates

      I AM one of those who, until comparatively recently, was an ignorant opponent of Woman Suffrage. I felt that what we women needed was more education, more discipline, rather than more liberty, not realising that the higher discipline can come only through liberty.

      I was not alone in my error. It turns out that not only have men a great deal still to learn about women, but that women have a great deal to learn about themselves. I have been prosecuting my education in this direction almost daily since a certain memorable afternoon in Trafalgar Square when I first heard women talking politics in public. I went out of shamefaced curiosity, my head full of masculine criticism as to woman's limitations, her well-known inability to stick to the point, her poverty in logic and in humour, and the impossibility, in any case, of her coping with the mob.

      I had found in my own heart hitherto no firm assurance that these charges were not anchored in fact. But on that Sunday afternoon, in front of Nelson's Monument, a new chapter was begun for me in the lesson of faith in the capacities of women.

      * Published in Collier's Weekly, June 29, 1907.

Way Stations    page 41

Talking about it afterward with a well-known London editor, I found him sorrowfully admitting the day was coming when the vote could no longer be withheld from women. "But when they get it," he asked, "won't we find they've lost more than they've gained?" He spoke of the deteriorating effect of the public life on men. If it bore so hardly on the stronger masculine fibre, what effect must it have on the delicate, impressionable nature of woman? How shall she preserve what is best in character after tasting the intoxication of political victory or the humiliation of political defeat?

      "I am ready to believe you," he said, "when you tell me these Suffragists can rule and sway the London crowds. But isn't it very bad for women, all this publicity and concentration of attention on themselves?"

      I answered that I was perhaps not so bad a person to whom to put that question, since I had spent a good part of my adult existence under conditions where I could see the effect on character of just these fierce tests, save that in the theatre they operate innocent of political significance.

      In common with many others of my old craft, I had seen how the actor's necessary preoccupation with things of the imagination may divorce him from the larger realities of life. His necessary concern about himself tends to impoverish his intellectual life, narrowing down existence till for him all the world's a stage in very truth, and all men merely

Way Stations    page 42

[NOTE] But the great difference, in the common effect on character, between doing work on the stage and doing it in the political arena, seems accounted for by the difference between the ambition that is obliged to concern iteself with the advantage of other people.

      If I am to judge by the women I see working to win the suffrage in England, there is something civilising, ennobling, in giving up your life to the futherance of a great impersonal object. When women, such as these I speak of, stand up in public to talk reform, their high earnestness, their forgetfulness of themselves, lends them a dignity that made my answer to the question of the London editor as easy as it was honourable to the disfranchised sex.

      We have come to a point in England where there is little need, and indeed little opportunity, to combat argument. The opponents of Woman's Suffrage own, with engaging frankness, that their prejudices against the innovation are irremovable. If these obstructionists are not too old in years or in spirit, they will presently be advancing to the stool of repentance. If, however, their prejudices are indeed irremovable, they themselves are not. Those who, in the natural order, are to take their place will see the matter otherwise, for the future is on the side of woman's freedom. So keenly is this felt that in the hundreds of meetings, public

Way Stations    page 43

and private, held throughout England for the ventilation of the subject, the prime difficulty encountered of late in getting up a debate is to find anybody who can be induced to oppose the notion. Has it been discovered that all the telling arguments, witty or wise, are on the side of the reform?

      The old-fashioned opponent, with his jargon about "short hair and the shrieking sisterhood," sees all his poor little dingy rags of ridicule blown to the winds of heaven, and he seems able to find nothing new.

      One of the signs of the reserve force behind the movement is that everything ministers to it. The police magistrate sends groups of unknown women to Holloway Gaol. They come out public characters, hot with tales of abouses in the prison system and the crying need for matrons and women inspectors. The authorities try to avoid repeating their error by making all such inconvenient prisoners thereafter first-class misdemeanants, and thus ensure their seeing less and having less material with which to stir the public conscience. But the public is quick to detect the fear behind the seeming leniency of the authorities.

      Then again, at a later stage of the agitation, the police magistrate, in trying a fresh batch of prisoners, endeavours to rouse public indignation against the leaders of the movement by sternly rebuking them for allowing a mill girl of seventeen to come up from the provinces to assist in a London

Way Stations    page 44

demonstration, in the course of which the girl was arrested,--that being nothing less than what she had come for. She was a Lancashire delegate, representative of hundreds more who could not come themselves. The magistrate was full of a noble rage at "the cruelty of turning a girl of such tender age loose in London," as he expressed it. He seemed to count on setting men's hearts aflame at the bare idea of a young girl in the streets without her mother. That she should be in the London streets to testify to her interest in the laws governing women's honest work, that was indeed shameful!

      "Why, this child," said the Magistrate, "should be at school!" And the outburst of wise and manly tenderness was reported in every paper in the land.

      The working women opened incredulous eyes. They are so used to hearing their own ignorance urged against their claim to vote, that they were stark amazed to find how strangely benighted are these great London gentlemen about the conditions governing the lives of women they make laws for. School at seventeen? Why, this girl, like many more, had been earning her living in a mill since she was twelve, rising in the dawn, tramping cold and half-fed, to her work, and returning wearily through slums whose haggard realism left this prematurely old "hand" of seventeen little to learn from London, even if she had no friends here, which of course is not the case. No woman, however

lonely, who joins the English Suffrage Movement but has friends. . . .

June 1907 - March, 1908

DURING a reconstitution of the Union which took place in September, 1907, the faith and affection which Mrs. and Miss Pankhurst and their immediate allies had inspired were put to a triumphant test. That these were the people, and the only people, who could conduct this particular agitation at this most difficult and critical moment, was recognised by the great majority who had come in contact with that very remarkable group.

      The following month brought another event of far-reaching importance, not only to the fortunes of the Union, but to the organised effectiveness of the whole progressive movement.

      Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence launched a newspaper, designed to give the public that information which Suffragist had hitherto looked for vainly in the press; information not only about the more sensational side of the propaganda, but about the steady, ceaseless, educational work that was being done, as well as general information bearing on the political status of women. No paper has ever been served with such devotion and ingenuity as "Votes for Women." Its astonishingly rapid growth from a little two-page sheet, issued monthly, to the weekly paper known and quoted all over the world, is due not only to the combination of political insight and business ability of the Pankhursts and the Lawrences,

Way Stations    page 46

but to the vigorous co-operation they possessed the secret of winning from their friends and followers.

      Members of the Union responded to the call that they should charge themselves with the business of securing regular subscribers, and that they should buy batches of the paper to distribute broadcast. Then realising that what people get for nothing they are likely to value at nothing, women who had never sold anything in their lives before stood in the streets offering "'Votes for women,' one penny." Not only were tens of thounsands of copies sold outright in this way, and many new subscribers added; the sellers became centres of a quiet but enormously effective propaganda.

      Seeing the paper solidly established, with its circulation steadily increasing, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence handed it over to the Union. Hundreds and thousands of people who could not come to the meetings were drawn into the movement through the medium of the paper. Where the mass of newspapers reported only the more sensational militant acts, readers of "Votes for Women" were kept informed as well of all the many-sided educational propaganda which was tirelessly going on, though unreported elsewhere.

      Between May and October of that year the Union alone held 3,000 meetings. Other political meetings were left unreminded of all this active interest women were taking in public affairs, unless those other meetings were addressed by Cabinet Ministers. Their joint responsibilitiy for the Government neglect of women's claims was not allowed to be forgotten. The Suffragettes on these occasions were almost invariably set upon by the stewards, and not infrequently struck at by Liberal "gentlemen" sitting in the audience--a proceeding which taught

Way Stations    page 47

many an onlooker more about politics in a minute than a statesman could teach in a lifetime.

      The harsh and costly lesson never failed to make new friends for the Cause, or to convert some tepid adherent into a fervid worker. Those who could not help in one way sought and found other ways. Women whom natural disqualification or ill-health prevented from serving as public speakers, gave money to defray the expenses of others. When there was no more money to give, they got up entertainments; wrote gratis for the paper; sold it in the streets, and at theatre doors; gave lectures--and in these lesser ways showed their sympathy with and their admiration of the women who were bearing the burden of by-elections and meeting worse than blows as deputation after deputation forced its way to Westminster.

      In February, 1908, the arrest of fifty more women for their share in this errand led to the turning up of an old Act of the time of Charles II, relating to "Tumultuous Petitions." In future, women were warned, anyone of the unenfranchised sex who came too near the Houses of Parliament with a petition was to be tried and punished on the plan invented a couple of centuries before, to harass and defeat the early strivings of men towards political freedom.

      Perhaps the significance of the parallel discouraged the threatened application of the Act. For after the next demonstration (which followed smartly upon the threat) Mrs. Pankhurst and the other women were given the same insulting and now familiar police-court trial, and the usual alternative of paying a fine or going to prison.

      While they were in prison another Woman's Enfran-

Way Stations    page 48

chisement Bill scored a majority of 179 in its second reading in the House of Commons. However, its promoter, Mr. Stanger, became entangled in that "parliamentary procedure"--which women are so often asked to regard as respectworthy and ineluctable.
[GLOSS] The advantage of the majority in favour was lost.

      Three years later I was to ask a Liberal Member of Parliament what had brought him to believe, as he now professes, in the righteousness and the inevitability of the triumph of Woman Suffrage. "It has come to be a practical issue," he said.

      Thinking to hear of some new light on woman's needs, or on man's discovery that her Cause is his own, "When did you come to 'see' it?" I asked.

      "When the women raised a fighting fund of a hundred thousand pounds," he said.

      At the Albert Hall meeting of March 19th the idea of the treasurer, Mrs. Lawrence, had been to leave Mrs. Pankhurst's seat on the platform empty till, after an appeal for funds, the great arm-chair might be filled with the cheques, bank-notes, and promise cards collected. By one of those happy chances which often fall to the lot of the Union, the prison authorities (upon what pretext I do not now remember) forestalled the date of Mrs. Pankhurst's release. Her unexpected appearance in the hall created an immense sensation. The eloquence of the empty chair, from which so much had been hoped, was pale and ineffectual beside the appeal made by the woman who came out of the grey solitude of a prison cell straight into the brilliance and enthusiasm of a Woman's Social and Political Union mass meeting.

Way Stations    page 49

      In the space of a few moments £7,000 was subscribed to the fighting fund.

      But for a struggle so great as the far-sighted saw still lay before women, the problem was ever how to raise more money and make more converts. From every angle, political and private, those waiting to be convinced must be reached and drawn into the ranks.

Kashruth Bill Signed into Law

Download PDF for this date

Governor Hugh L. Carey of New York last week signed into law a bill (A 7271B/S6348B) strengthening the kashruth laws in relation to the sale of nonkosher products bearing an inscription “Jewish” or “Hebrew” style or type. The new law restricts the sale of any non-kosher meat or meat preparation or food product which is labeled or advertised with the words “Jewish” or “Hebrew” unless the word non-kosher is displayed. The words non-kosher must be displayed in English, the same size lettering as the words Jewish or Hebrew.

The requirement also applies to the use of “type” or “style” or any other expression used in conjunction with “Jewish” or “Hebrew.” The law applies to non-kosher food sold at hotels and restaurants and any place where food is sold for consumption on or off the premises.

The new law also extends the same protective requirements for the use of the term “kosher” to the use of the term “Kosher for Passover.” The Governor, in signing the bill into law, lauded the legislation for its provisions extending consumer protection.

The measure was introduced into the Legislature by Sen. Linda Winikow of Rockland County and Assemblyman Howard Lasher of Brooklyn and was sponsored by a number of legislators. The law takes effect Jan. 1, 1977 to give manufacturers of food products time to change their labels, a spokesman for the Governor’s office said today.

Britain Signs $4.3 Billion Arms Deal with Saudi Arabia

Britain Signs $4.3 Billion Arms Deal with Saudi Arabia

Download PDF for this date

The British and Saudi Arabian governments signed a memorandum of agreement today for the sale by Britain of 132 warplanes to the Saudi kingdom valued at $4.3 billion exclusive of the cost of spare parts and support facilities.

Described by a British spokesman as “our biggest arms deal ever,” it was angrily opposed by Israel but may have had the tacit blessings of the Reagan Administration. The Saudis recently dropped plans to buy U.S. F-15 jet fighter-bombers, apparently because a long drawn-out battle seemed inevitable between the Administration and majorities in both houses of Congress which oppose U.S. arms sales to Arab states technically at war with Israel.

The sales agreement was initialed here today by the Defense Minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Sultan Ibn Abdelazziz, and British Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine. The deal is for 72 of the highly rated Tornado jet fighters which are built by a British-West German-Italian consortium, 30 PC-9 defense aircraft and 30 Hawk trainers. Sources here said the Saudis originally intended to buy only 48 Tornados but increased their order after deciding not to seek the F-15s.

Israel’s Acting Foreign Minister Moshe Arens summoned the British Ambassador in Tel Aviv, William Squire, to the Foreign Ministry Monday to convey his government’s extreme displeasure over the Saudi arms deal, then pending. Arens said Israel was especially disturbed by the Tornados’ high speed, low level penetration capabilities which suits them for raids against Israel from the Saudi air base at Tabuk.

Today’s arms deal is without conditions, meaning that Britain did not stipulate that the weapons must not be used against Israel.

Just a few hundred fighters make up the hard core of Hezbollah, but thanks to its powerful patrons and Shi’ite fanaticism, the Lebanese militia is a force to be reckoned with. And reckoning is exactly what Israel, Western mediators and moderate Arab nations are doing as they try to come up with ways of taming Hezbollah and calming the Israeli-Lebanese crisis.

“One thing is clear to all, and that is that there cannot be a return to the status quo,” said U.N. envoy Terje Roed-Larsen in what appeared to be a reference to Hezbollah’s years of straddling Lebanon’s southern border and menacing Israel.

For now, thanks to the offensive Israel launched after Hezbollah killed eight of its soldiers and abducted another two in a July 12 border ambush, the militia seems to be on the run.

Israel says its forces have at least halved Hezbollah’s fighting strength. More than 100 gunmen are dead, Israel says, and dozens of its rocket launchers have been destroyed.

But then there are holdouts — chief among them Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, who appears to have survived two assassination attempts by the Israeli air force and vows that his group has “surprises” in store for the Jewish state should it maintain its devastating assault on Lebanon.

Hezbollah has only around 600 full-time fighters, but it can quickly mobilize as many as 30,000 “reservists” from among Shi’ite loyalists. Funding is no problem: According to Israel’s Military Intelligence, Iran is investing some $100 million in this round of fighting, with Syria providing logistical support.

There is also evidence Hezbollah has held back on using its most dangerous weapons — Zelzal missiles supplied by Iran and capable of reaching Tel Aviv and beyond, perhaps with biological and chemical warheads — and maintains a network of tunnels and trenches in southern Lebanon where its toughest gunmen lie in wait.

“We are talking about utterly hardened and dedicated fighters, operating largely independent of Hezbollah’s high command,” said Alon Ben-David, Israel analyst for Jane’s Defence Weekly. “Israel should not make the mistake of assuming they are the same sort of ragtag adversaries as Palestinian terrorists.”

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has refused to give a timetable for Israel’s military operations, saying only they would end when the two hostages held in Lebanon are retrieved and Hezbollah is “cleared out of the region” — ambiguous phrasing that could be interpreted as requiring either the militia’s total elimination or merely its removal from the frontier.

Israel, like the rest of the West, has made much of the need to implement U.N. Security Council Resolution 1559, which requires that Hezbollah be disarmed by the Lebanese authorities.

But no one quite knows how this could be achieved.

Lebanon’s army is small and weak, made up of many Shi’ite servicemen who would be unlikely to take on their Hezbollah coreligionists. And messages from the government in Beirut have been mixed. Government officials have both proposed deploying regular military forces in the South and threatened to fight Israel should it mount a full invasion — neither with much conviction.

An invasion may be Israel’s only option if it wants to crush Hezbollah and shore up its military deterrence in the face of the militia’s patrons, Iran and Syria, which Washington also would dearly love to see confronted and curbed.

“Everyone realizes that if Hezbollah must be hit, it must be hit hard. Otherwise it will come out stronger in Middle East terms, claiming to have survived an ‘onslaught’ by the superior Israel,” said Jacky Hugi, Arab affairs correspondent for Ma’ariv.

Given Israel’s systematic bombing of roads linking southern Lebanon to the rest of the country, some military experts have speculated that the area is being isolated so that ground forces can be brought to the Litani River, from there to sweep down in a pincer move that would net the bulk of Hezbollah’s fighters.

But such a massive Israeli presence could mean hundreds if not thousands of troop casualties — a steep price that for many will recall the 1982 Lebanon invasion, the Jewish state’s most unpopular and divisive war. On the diplomatic front, it would be perceived as a reoccupation of land Israel quit in 2000, undoing much foreign goodwill and even paradoxically helping Hezbollah.

“When we left southern Lebanon, we robbed Hezbollah of its raison d’etre and much of its domestic support,” said Ami Ayalon, a retired Israeli admiral and senior Labor Party lawmaker. “A reoccupation would allow the terrorists once more to present themselves as the shield for all Lebanese.”

With a flurry of Western contacts under way, the hoped-for solution to the crisis would seem to be stationing an effective international peacekeeper force in southern Lebanon. This would probably be NATO, given Israel’s distrust of the United Nations after years of ineffectiveness by U.N. observers posted in the region as putative buffers between Hezbollah and the border.

“Given the Lebanese army’s weakness, we support an international force that would have powers of enforcement, deploy in the South, and impose its authority,” Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Sunday.

Iraq court begins new trial for 'Chemical Ali'

[JURIST] An Iraqi court on Sunday began a new trial for Ali Hassan al-Majid [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], better known in the Western media as "Chemical Ali," and three other Saddam Hussein-era officials accused in a 1998 gas attack that killed 5,000 Kurds. The relatives of the plaintiffs were allegedly gassed to death in the Kurdish village of Halabja. Hundreds of Kurds called for the execution [Reuters report] of al-Majid, who has already been sentenced to death twice. Also facing trial are former defense minister Sultan Hashem and two intelligence officers.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal [governing statute, PDF] sentenced al-Majid to death [JURIST report] for his involvement in the repression of Shiites in southern Iraq during the Saddam regime. Al-Majid has also been sentenced to death for the killing of Kurdish Iraqis using chemical weapons during the 1988 Anfal campaign [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. His death sentence in the Anfal case was upheld on appeal in September 2007, but Iraq's Presidency Council did not approve the execution [JURIST reports] until late February. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government said in early March that al-Majid would not be executed [JURIST report] until the Presidency Council approved the death sentences of al-Majid's two co-defendants in that case.

Aloha! You're speaking to Dr. Michael Salkin
I'm sorry that your question wasn't answered in a timely manner. A week's worth of now worsening retching indicates having her vet perform a thorough physical exam including diagnostics in the form of blood and urine tests, and X-rays or ultrasound of her abdomen. While her symptom is important, it's not pathognomonic (specifically indicative) of any one disorder; hence, the need for a "work-up" indicated for a dog in gastrointestinal distress.
If the meds for her joints include a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) such as carprofen or meloxicam, that NSAID shouldn't be administered at this time. The most common adverse reaction to NSAIDs is vomiting due to GI irritation and even ulceration.
Please respond with further questions or concerns if you wish.

Soledad O'Brien: The "Rescued" Interview

with Kam Williams

Headline: Soledad’s Follow-Up Report about the Haitian Relief Effort

Since Haiti’s no longer front-page news, it’s very easy to forget about the fact that there’s an ongoing crisis there in the wake of the devastating earthquake which hit the island on January 12th. Fortunately, CNN’s Soledad O’Brien stands out as a journalist who has remained very committed to keeping the story of the country’s recovery on the front burner.

She recently returned to the region to investigate the plight of the disaster’s most vulnerable victims – the kids. Interviewing locals, missionaries, aid workers, bureaucrats and children themselves, Soledad discovered not only that Haiti now has about 380,000 orphans, but that many have been sold into slavery. Their perilous predicament is the focus of Rescued, Soledad’s shocking special report which is set to premiere on CNN on Saturday May 8th at 8 PM.

Here, she talks about the riveting documentary, which will be voiceovered by Wyclef Jean and Edwidge Danticat and told from the perspectives of 6 year-old orphan Candy Jeune and a freed slave named Marc Kenson Oliphi.

Kam Williams: Hi, Soledad, thanks again for the time.

Soledad O’Brien: You bet.

KW: How are the kids? Last time we spoke, they played such a big role, demanding your attention periodically during the interview.

SO: [Chuckles] They’re fine, thanks. When I go back to Haiti in June and Sofia’s out of school, I’ll take her with me, which will be an interesting trip. And, from there, we’ll go to New Orleans, because she’s getting old enough to start touring some of the places I’ve worked.

KW: What interested you in covering this story?

SO: I don’t think you can walk around reporting on Haiti and be on the ground there, and not feel compelled by the story of the orphaned and abandoned children. When I was there immediately after the earthquake, there was certainly nothing as heart-wrenching as seeing the condition of many of the kids, because it’s such a massive problem. So, I was eager to cover the story for CNN with a potential global audience of two billion people.

KW: Two things that shocked me watching an advanced copy of the special: the sheer number of Haitian children without parents, 380,000, and the fact that about 300,000 of them are enslaved.

SO: It’s incredible, isn’t it? And that estimate is conservative. Some people put the number at around 1.5 million on the high side. That’s what I heard yesterday, but it’s just an educated guess at this point.

KW: What is the Haitian government doing about the fact that they have a situation where people are being enslaved?

SO: It’s such a hard thing for those of us in this country to get our minds around, but it’s completely legal. I’m sure you saw in the piece how the boy named Matthinson’s father sold him for about $12 dollars to go and be a slave for a complete stranger. But it’s an indication of just how devastating the poverty is in Haiti that that’s a viable option. It’s pervasive throughout the country. And unfortunately, it’s perfectly legal.

KW: Another segment I found compelling was the one about the missionary work of Bill and Suzette Manazarro. Why did you decide to include them?

SO: It was such a great story in a lot of ways, starting with Suzette and Bill’s philosophy of taking in children not to send them overseas for adoption, but to raise them right there so they can grow up to become productive, standup citizens and help rescue Haiti. The “Rescue” in our title refers not only to the Manazarros’ work but also the hope that the children might, in turn, rescue their own nation. I thought that was a very interesting strategy for a nation that’s just been through a devastating earthquake. It also helped that we came across a young man who had been shooting at their orphanage for a few years. His videotape enabled us to tell their story from 2007 to the present.

KW: You also said that about three-quarters of Haiti’s schools are in ruins. So, are the children being educated?

SO: In some cases, yes. I’m not sure of the latest status on that, because the situation is changing very rapidly. But the official schools have been ruined. They collapsed in the earthquake. In fact, the entire infrastructure of the children’s lives have pretty much collapsed. So many people, like Bill and Suzette, have set up their own schools for the kids in their care.

KW: What does Haiti need right now?

SO: Well, Kam, how much time do you have?

KW: Then answer this, how can someone who wants to get involved help Haiti?

SO: There are so many churches that have missions in Haiti. I’d say reach out and find an organization whose work you like and get connected through them.

KW: Dr. Karanja Ajanaku asks: What outcomes do you hope to have as a result of this special?

SO: I think one goal is just to keep the story of Haiti in the news, to keep people exposed to what’s going on in order to help them recognize the depth of the problem for orphans in a really cohesive way.

KW: I understand, because I was torn between interviewing a movie star this week and this opportunity to talk to you about Haiti again. I’ll be honest, I seriously debated it.

SO: I won the toss-up, then. [Laughs] I love to be able to get out an important message so that another journalist asks himself, “Hmm? Should I interview a starlet with a new hit movie or do an interview about this important story that still needs to be told?” I love that you wrestled with that. And that I won. So, journalism lives! I’m excited about that.

KW: Dr. Ajanaku has a follow-up: Did your reporting detect a relationship between skin color and poverty? And if so, how does that factor into the situation/condition/plight of the orphans?

SO: No, not really. But I’m not sure if he’s talking about black versus white or nuances in skin color, so I can’t say I totally understand the question.

KW: Larry Greenberg says that you previously mentioned the need for “opportunity" and "real infrastructure" in Haiti. He says, “I know it has not
been long and it may be just a few starfish back in the sea but have
you seen any improvements?”

SO: Yes, I did see some minor improvements, but it’ll be more interesting to look at the answer to that question when I go back next month.

KW: Daryle Lockhart wants to know if you think that a new, stronger Haiti will be a valuable ally to the US military. He says that the island's location would seem to make it incredibly important strategically.

SO: I think the answer is, yeah, probably, but that’s not the big problem right now. What Haiti needs is infrastructural repair, not a new military base or a great jumping-off point for U.S. Armed Forces. They need jobs for the people and care for the children, and a movement to address the child slavery issue. In my mind, all that stuff comes way before any questions about whether Haiti’s well-position to be a viable military base for the United States.

KW: Publisher Milton Allimadi says that he’s been inundated with calls and e-mails since they honored you at the Black Star News' annual dinner last November. He says thanks again and he was wondering whether it might be possible for you to address his journalism class about Haiti.

SO: It’s always possible. Certainly, one of the things that’s the most fun for me, even though it takes up a lot of my time, is talking to aspiring journalists. Yeah, there’s certainly ways to arrange that.

KW: William Cooper and Troy Johnson both asked essentially the same question. What did you put down on her census form? William pointed out that Obama checked off “black” when he is just as black as white. How do you self-identify?

SO: I find the question really ridiculous. All the schooling I have to do on this topic is wearing me out. Obama is black. His mother was white. I am black. My father is white. I’m going to give everybody a History 101 lesson. Some black people have white blood in them. This has been going on for many generations, people. Look at any family of black people. They run a range of colors. This is why.

KW: You and all five of your siblings graduated from Harvard, so I have to ask you what you think about Stephanie Grace, the Harvard Law student who recently sent out an email stating that she believes black people are genetically inferior to white people. Were you shocked by her statement?

SO: My first reaction was, “Well, who’s the dumb one?” If you’re going to talk about innate intelligence, maybe sending out that email is not the smart thing to do. That would make me ask, who’s the stupid one in this equation? But am I shocked? Sadly, no. I’m not even surprised.

Although FATCA does not come into effect until 2013, it has already been the subject of rather intense attention and concern on the part of foreign entities — including banks, hedge funds and others — that must determine how to comply so as to avoid a potential new U.S. withholding tax.

In response thereto, on August 27, 2010, the IRS issued Notice 2010-60 (the “2010 Notice”). On April 8, 2011, the IRS issued Notice 2011-34 (the “2011 Notice”), which provides additional guidance regarding the implementation of FATCA. The attached Client Alert summarizes certain key aspects of the 2010 Notice and the 2011 Notice.
