Shelbourn Development scales back its Chicago Spire sales center.
Posted by ChicagoismynewBlog! on May 19, 2010
Not too exciting or surprising news coming from Chicago Breaking News but at least Shelbourne's doing the smart thing by downsizing their sales center operation to the Shelbourne Development offices at 111 S. Wacker Drive. During the Spire's peak in sales, their lease took up the entire 18th floor at NBC tower but for the past nine months, we have seen some legal drama going on when NBC Tower sued Shelbourne in order to evict them from the building. I'm really curious to find out if anyone is buying in the building still.
Chicago Spire developer scales back on sales office
Published on May 17, 2010 9:52 AM | Submit a comment
The developer behind the Chicago Spire closed its posh sales office over the weekend, relocating the marketing arm for the long-stalled project to a much less grand office space nearby.
Shelbourne Development Group, which has been battling the owner of the NBC Tower for nine months, consolidated the sales function into its own office space at 111 S. Wacker. A spokeswoman for Spire developer Garrett Kelleher denied that the move signaled that the project was dead.
"He's being smart," the spokeswoman said. "If you're in a situation where things are slowing down, you need to consolidate and you need to be smart. Clearly the economy has been tough and he's had to focus on areas of his portfolio that are doing well."
The sales office in the NBC building, which occupied the entire 18th floor, opened in early 2008 and included touches designed by Spire architect Santiago Calatrava and a built-out model of a Spire condominium.
The owner of the NBC Tower sued Shelbourne to evict the developer last August, charging that the company had not made a rent payment since April. In March, the case was dismissed by agreement, and a $55,082.06 judgment for NBC Tower was voided.
Instead of touring a model unit, potential buyers will see samples of materials and three-dimensional computer models, the spokeswoman said.
The sales office's closing is likely to cast more doubt on whether the twisting, 2,000-foot-tall skyscraper will ever rise from the circular hole in the ground that now exists alongside 400 N. Lake Shore Drive. Shelbourne has been beset by financial problems since starting the skyline-defining project just as the financial and real estate markets were seizing up.
Shelbourne and Kelleher remain in litigation with Bank of America Corp., which filed suit last August, charging the developer with defaulting on a loan and said it was due $4.9 million. Bank of America said Kelleher personally guaranteed the loan. Kelleher and his company fired back in a countersuit, claiming the lender committed fraud and deception in arranging a loan used to start the building…

Big losses for those involved with The Chicago Spire…no surprises here.

Spire affiliate reports big loss linked to stalled tower
By Eddie Baeb and Thomas A. Corfman, Feb. 03, 2010
(Crain's) — A Dublin-based affiliate of Chicago Spire developer Garrett Kelleher reported a $207.6-million annual loss, much of which is attributed to the stalled Spire project.
Clarinabbey Ltd. says in an annual financial report filed last week in Ireland that the company took a loss provision against loans made to other companies led by Mr. Kelleher – including one that's been a major financing vehicle for the Spire. Clarinabbey says the provision stems from "uncertainty associated with the recoverability of amounts owed by group companies."
Financial results were reported in Euros and converted to U.S. dollars.
The Spire project, a twisting, 1,194-unit condominium tower at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive that would have been the tallest building in the United States, may account for at least $135 million of the $197.7-million loss provision, based on a previous filing by Shelbourne Finance Ltd., which is the entity pegged to the provision in Clarinabbey's filing.
Shelbourne Finance has previously said the firm provided an interest-free loan of $38.2 million to a Spire-related entity and separately advanced the project $96.8 million, according to its 2008 annual report, the most recent available.
Clarinabbey, whose majority owner is Mr. Kelleher, reported last week that it is "technically in breach" on loan-to-value and interest-coverage covenants with its lenders, a group that includes the now-nationalized Anglo Irish Bank Corp., along with Royal Bank of Scotland Plc and Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Ltd.
Clarinabbey says it's working to negotiate a standstill agreement with the banks or a restructuring of its loans, but that "there exists a fundamental uncertainty over the company's ability to meet its obligations as and when they fall due."
The financial reports were filed with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland.
Calls to spokeswomen for Shelbourne and a voicemail left at the firm's Chicago office on Wacker Drive weren't returned.
Clarinabbey reported the $207.6-million loss for the period ended March 31, 2009.

Union funds meant to finance The Chicago Spire construction now kaput.
From this week's In Other News
Chicago Spire twists in wind as union funds pass on bailout loan
By: Eddie Baeb December 21, 2009
Officials at four big investment funds affiliated with labor unions say they're not interested in rescuing the stalled Chicago Spire project.
Recent reports that Spire developer Garrett Kelleher and union officials are discussing a possible loan rekindled hope that work would resume on the twisting tower, which at 150 stories would be North America's tallest building.
But two union funds identified by a local labor leader and a Spire spokeswoman as having expressed interest, the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust and the union-backed life insurer ULLICO Inc., are taking a pass, according to top executives there. Representatives of two others, the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust and the Multi-Employer Property Trust, say the Spire isn't a suitable investment for them.
"It's not something we're able to do," says Edward Smith, president of ULLICO. "Unfortunately, these are just very difficult markets."
Another union fund or group of funds still could step forward with a loan for the project. Mr. Kelleher also could secure funding from other sources. But the lack of interest from the four big funds narrows the Irish developer's options as he seeks a financial lifeline for the Spire.
They're among the largest funds of their kind, controlling about $13 billion in union pension funds and other assets. They also have a history of commercial real estate investing here and around the country, and an interest in backing projects that create jobs for union workers.
Worries about the prospects of the Spire in a moribund real estate market appear to have trumped their desire to help put union members back to work. The funds are no more eager than other real estate investors to risk money on a highly speculative project in the worst downturn in recent memory.
Mr. Kelleher seeks about $170 million in short-term financing to pay off existing debt and move the project forward. It would be a particularly risky loan because the most likely source of funds for repayment would be a construction loan for the $1-billion-plus project. Construction lenders typically advance funds only after a developer sells 50% of the units in a condominium project. After two years of worldwide marketing efforts, Mr. Kelleher has sold about 30% of the Spire's 1,194 units.
In essence, Mr. Kelleher is asking the union funds to bet on his ability to sell condos in a stagnant downtown housing market, where mortgage and construction financing is hard to come by.
Michael Arnold, head of investor relations for the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, says his fund can't take that risk. "We would obviously like to be helpful," he says. "We understand the interest, but we're not any different than other real estate lenders today."
Thomas Villanova, president of the Chicago & Cook County Building & Construction Trades Council, hopes union fund managers will consider not only financial risk but also the job-creating benefits of the project.
"This just can't be looked at in a straight investment-type view. You've got to add into the equation this would be 7.5 million man-hours for my members," Mr. Villanova says. "I don't think we've ever seen times as bad as they are now."
Mr. Villanova organized a meeting in the spring between Mr. Kelleher's company, Shelbourne Development Group Inc., and representatives of the 24 local unions that comprise his group. He says some local union officials met with Shelbourne again, but he can't recall which ones.
More recently, Mr. Villanova arranged a meeting on Nov. 30 between Shelbourne and Mark Ayers, a Washington, D.C.-based union leader who's a board member with ULLICO and the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust. Mr. Ayers didn't return calls….

Chicago Spire finally resuscitated?
Posted by ChicagoismynewBlog! on March 25, 2009
New Life May Be Breathed Into Chicago Spire
Construction Of Soaring Apartment Tower Has Been Delayed
CHICAGO (CBS) ― The ill-fated Chicago Spire could rise from the dust, after being only an enormous hole in the ground for the past several months.
A major union says its pension fund could help pay for construction of the building.
There were big plans for the giant residential tower at 400 N. Lake Shore Dr. It would have surpassed the Sears Tower – soon to be renamed the Willis Tower – as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and was supposed to be one of the tallest buildings in the world.
But the site has been empty for months, except for a broad, round hole that was dug for the foundation. The plan began to unwind after celebrity architect Santiago Calatrava filed a lien on the project, claiming the developer hadn't paid him $11.34 million he was owed for his work.
Also, the Chicago architectural firm Perkins & Will, hired as a local overseer of the design, filed its own lien, claiming it is owed $4.85 million.
Meanwhile, the spire's developer, Shelbourne Development Ltd., acknowledged slowing the pace of the work last fall because turmoil in financial markets limited access to credit.
But now, the Chicago Tribune reports on its Web site that the AFL-CIO's Housing Investment Trusts are meeting with Shelbourne on Tuesday for preliminary discussions. It could be a win-win for both sides, with the developer getting the building, and the union securing jobs.
Plans for the Spire were first announced in 2005. The soaring spiral design of the building by the celebrity architect has won fans. Calatrava in published reports has compared the structure to a smoke spiral rising from a campfire along the Chicago River.
But unlike the John Hancock Center and Sears Tower, which would both be dwarfed by the building, the Chicago Spire does not have plans for any public restaurants or observatories. The building would be open only to residents, and that group is a select few. The condos in the building are priced from $750,000 to $15 million each.
– A big thank you to CBS2 Chicago for the most recent article on reviving the Chicago Spire. Click here if you want to read the actual article. Hopefully this raises more confidence to get some sales going. When last reported, Shelbourne Development stated that over 30% of the Spire's homes were sold after only four months. This is no small feat because 30% means over 350 homes. Now this was reported in April, 2008 so I'm curious to hear how many have sold since then. –

Another Spire news article.
Well, with each new news article about The Chicago Spire, I'm always hoping at least one gives us the slightest bit of hope that the Spire will actually come to fruition. Honestly, at first, I absolutely hated the building but each day that past, I liked the skyscraper more and more. I still wish the location was different, like in The Loop surrounded by taller buildings, but it is a really cool skyscraper nonetheless. Check out the article brought to us by Crain's Chicago Business:
Halted Spire among world's 'Babel' projects.

New Zealand Fantail
The New Zealand Fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa) is a small bird.
During waking hours the bird is almost never still. It flits from perch to perch, sometimes on the ground but mostly on the twigs of a tree or any other convenient object. The bird's call is an almost metallic "cheek", either as a single sound or (more often) repeated as a chattering.
The New Zealand Fantail is a seasonal breeder, nesting from August to March in the North Island, September to January in the South Island and October to January on the Chatham Islands. They usually raise two or more broods per season. The birds form compact, cup-shaped nests, usually in the forks of trees, made from moss, bark and fibre, and often completed with spider's web. Both sexes build the nest. The clutch size is usually three to four cream eggs which are spotted grey and brown. The incubation period is around two weeks, and incubation and feeding duties are shared by both adults. Nest building and incubation of the second brood may occur while the fledged young of the first brood are still being fed. Young males may begin breeding two months after fledging.

The New Zealand Fantail is a very agile little bird, which can be observed in most areas of Australia and New Zealand.

In this article, we will explain to you 6 Ways to Design a Perfect Instagram Grid Layout to win over new followers.
As an image-sharing social platform, Instagram is completely focused on the quality of photos, design, and Instagram grid layout.
Users share around 80 million images every day, which means that your account has to be flawless in order to grab the attention of the target audience.
The grid layout is critical to the success of your Instagram profile, so you better prepare to design a great grid that ensures effortless user experience.
Do you know the preferences of the target audience?
Do they prefer scrolling down the news feed or visiting brand-related accounts separately?
Think about this before you decide which Instagram Grid Layout is the best for your account.
Once you've got that covered, you can experiment with a few design solutions that seem most appropriate for your followers.
Test different colors, borders, and formats to detect options driving a lot of user engagement.
The point is not to guess the right solution, but to make a data-driven decision.
The color scheme is extremely important for the performance of your Instagram account because it needs to be well-crafted and able to raise brand awareness.
William Farris, a web designer at UKCareersBooster, says the color palette decision should not be so difficult: "As a company, you probably have a straightforward marketing and branding strategy that prescribes the basic color standards.
Doing so, you don't only make the Instagram account more compelling, but you also keep it aligned with all other channels of communication – website, email marketing, other social platforms.
That's the only way to achieve branding consistency in the multi-channel marketing environment.
Although the quality of your Instagram Grid Layout depends mostly on your inspiration and creativity, it is highly unlikely that you can reinvent the wheel.
With over a billion users, it's hard to find a completely unique design, but you can at least use it as the source of inspiration.
For instance, you can check out Instagram influencer profiles to see how they solved this challenge.
Besides that, you must also analyze the biggest and most successful competitors in your niche to see what they've done well.
Of course, we are not suggesting you copy/paste someone else's design ideas, but you can definitely derive inspiration from representative Instagram accounts.
Competitor analysis will help you acquire practical knowledge, but you must also figure out the theoretical concepts of Instagram Grid Layout design.
Squares layout: It's a common Instagram feature in which you post images one by one to form a square-shaped grid. Although simple, this type of layout requires additional color-related thinking to make a consistent set of photos.
Row by row: This sort of layout promotes different color schemes and content ideas for each row in the grid. That way, users can see autonomous rows of content as they scroll down the profile.
The checkerboard grid: It occurs when you create diagonals with images containing contrasting colors and content ideas. For instance, you can mix inspiring quotes and product images to establish the checkerboard grid layout.
The rainbow feed: Some Instagram accounts use different color filters to make a more compelling feed. The point is to use a different hues and shades row after row to create a versatile rainbow-like grid.
Puzzles: If you want to make the Instagram account more intriguing, you can form puzzles consisting of 9, 12, or 15 images. This type of grid layout requires a fair share of planning, but the result is usually eye-pleasing.
We mentioned it already, but it's hard to overestimate the importance of branding consistency.
Namely, the first thing a user will notice when entering your account is the grid layout.
Well, it means you have to choose a quality theme, color palettes, and filters.
You are probably using photo editing software to create great images, so try to stick to the same style in the long run.
Your Instagram account should mirror the general visual identity of the brand, so don't let it change randomly.
Instead, you must come up with a unique Instagram Grid Layout that the followers can recognize instantly.
It might seem strange to discuss the planning issue at the very end of the post, but we had to show you the versatility of Instagram grid layout design before suggesting a careful planning.
Each post that doesn't fit the general context will look strange and ruin the overall appearance of your account.
This will not only jeopardize brand awareness but also slow down your Instagram marketing performance in its entirety.
Grid layout represents an anchor of every Instagram account.
It can make the user experience simpler and more convenient, but it also has the power to ruin navigation and chase away the target audience.
This post provides you 6 Ways to Design a Perfect Instagram Grid Layout to attract new followers, so make sure to test them and choose the design that suits your style and requirements the most.

And coral, light coral and green paper; and white and black card.
I die cut first the screen, then the edge (also from the same Simply screens die set) and then place the paper inside the card.
Then, I die cut all the different elements and layered them on the front.

Ranking the World: Grading States as a Tool of Global Governance
Edited by Alexander Cooley and Jack Snyder
Reviewed By G. John Ikenberry
Recent decades have seen a boom in rankings and ratings schemes developed by private groups, international organizations, and governments to measure and evaluate the performance of states in areas such as human development, democracy, hunger, environmental performance, media freedom, economic openness, corruption, and human rights. In this fascinating volume, Cooley, Snyder, and their contributors interpret this phenomenon as part of a broader neoliberal desire to develop tools for governmental evaluation and accountability; the result is that expanding global governance networks and transnational advocacy groups have turned to metrics to aid their normative and social agendas. One particularly interesting chapter looks at the role that credit-rating agencies have played in recent crises in the eurozone, showing how these agencies not only measure performance but also establish market conventions and trigger points. Other chapters explore the way that rankings focused on corruption and state failure have influenced evolving international norms. But as Snyder trenchantly argues in the conclusion, these indexes and scorecards, although intended as catalysts for transparency and accountability, are often simplistic, laden with normative biases, and easily misused.

Let us entertain you: shows in Sydney
New York has Broadway, London has the West End, and Sydney has … well just about every kind of musical, live performance and theatre venue you could want, all in the heart of the city.
There's nothing like being in a small inner-city suburban theatre, so close to the actors you could just about touch them.
But then we're suckers for the big stage numbers too, bright lights, a chorus line and all.
And just when we thought we couldn't be any more wowed, the national opera company goes and sticks a floating stage in Sydney Harbour!
Here are a few of the stellar productions now playing or coming soon.
Above: Handra Opera on Sydney harbour – Turandot 2016. Image courtesy of Opera Australia.
Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour
Hearing the powerful notes of aria Nessun dorma is enough to send chills down our spine at the best of times.
Add a stage floating on Sydney Harbour, complete with a set featuring a 60-metre long dragon and a 16-metre high pagoda, and we're awe-struck.
This is the ambitious platform that Opera Australia has set for its performance of Turandot.
The Chinese fable of danger, love and an ice-hearted princess is not just for opera buffs either.
Opera Australia calls it "the perfect opportunity for people who have never been to an opera", while those who know Turandot already are "going to be amazed by this production".
And there's plenty of scope to make it a totally glamorous night out: grab a bite or a drink at the "Platinum Club" pop-up dining room and bar, set amongst the tree tops; marvel at the nightly fireworks; or arrive by water taxi (who needs a limo anyway!). March 24 – April 24.
Above: Romeo and Juliet at the Opera House.
Romeo and Juliet at the Opera House
The Bell Shakespeare theatre company opens its 2016 season with one of the great bard's most famous plays of all, Romeo and Juliet , a symbol of love and romance throughout the ages the world over.
While the joy of love at first sight and the fate of the young star-crossed lovers gives way to tragedy, there's a reason this story has withstood the test of time.
It's Shakespeare that "allows us to wear our emotion on our sleeve," says Bell.
The theatre company promises fabulous frocks in this production too!
February 20 – March 27. In Conversation with the director free event on February 28, 1pm – 2pm.
Above: The blind giant is dancing at Belvoir street theatre.
The Blind Giant is Dancing at Belvoir Street Theatre
OK, we're going to call it.
We love any sort of live theatre in any setting.
But Belvoir is undoubtedly up there as one of our all-time favourite venues.
It's small and intimate, tucked away in the back streets of Surry Hills, and puts you up so close to the performers that there is nowhere for them to hide.
And we can honestly say in the past 20 years, we've seen only one show that was a little boring for our tastes.
But everything else … fabulous!
Not to mention that our favourite Aussie actors, including Ben Mendelsohn, David Wenham and Jacqueline McKenzie, have graced the stage here.
Catch a great Australian play about party politics and power struggles in The Blind Giant is Dancing. February 13 – March 20.

Two great Australian stories are on the bill for February at Sydney Theatre Company in Walsh Bay.
The Secret River, sold out in 2013, returns for an encore season (until February 20).
Two of our nearest and dearest were major fan's of Kate Grenville's award-winning historical novel set on the NSW Hawkesbury River and they loved the theatrical adaptation too.
Also playing until February 20, The Golden Age brings to the stage the story of a band of exiles discovered in the Tasmanian wilderness in 1939.
It promises to be tough and gritty – the play comes with a content warning for violence, strong language, nudity, gun shots and strobe lighting.
Above: Sydney Lyric theatre.
Sydney Lyric
We're super excited about the big shows and musicals Sydney Lyric has coming in 2016.
Singin' in the Rain kicks off from July, complete with 12,000 litres of water to bring to life the show's famous song and dance routine.
Before then there's the final run of Matilda the Musical (until February 28), 5000 years of Chinese culture brought to life in Shen Yun (March 8-13) and the big power ballads that will have you pumping your fist and singing along to We Will Rock You, from April.
Above: Capitol theatre.
Check out Lyric's sister Capitol Theatre too.
Apart from the great shows, the beautifully restored venue is a sight to behold – twinkling domed ceiling, Romanesque statues, ornately carved chairs and all.
Cheap tix
If you have your heart set on seeing a particular production, book early (and book a room at Y Hotels while you're at it).
The best shows often sell out.
If you're not too fussy about what to watch, wait until you've arrived at Y Hotels to try for cheap tickets.
Bell Shakespeare offers deals to under 18s and under 30s.
Belvoir discounts tickets for under 30s and groups.
Opera Australia has a "student rush" deal – any unsold seats are available to full-time students for $50 from the box office one hour prior to all performances.
Sydney Theatre Company offers $20 deals.

Q: ELKI: Running DBSCAN on custom Objects in Java I'm trying to use ELKI from within JAVA to run DBSCAN. For testing I used a FileBasedDatabaseConnection. Now I would like to run DBSCAN with my custom Objects as parameters.
My objects have the following structure:
public class MyObject {
  private Long id;
  private Float param1;
  private Float param2;
  // ... and more parameters as well as getters and setters
}

I'd like to run DBSCAN within ELKI using a List<MyObject> as database, but only some of the parameters should be taken into account (e.g. running DBSCAN on the objects using the parameters param1, param2 and param4). Ideally the resulting clusters contain the whole objects.
Is there any way to achieve this behaviour?
If not, how can I convert the objects into a format that ELKI understands and allows me to match the resulting cluster-objects with my custom objects (i.e. is there an easy way to programmatically set a label)?
The following question speaks of featureVectors: Using ELKI on custom objects and making sense of results
May this be a possible solution for my problem? And how is a feature vector created out of my List<MyObject>?

A: ELKI has a modular architecture.
If you want your own data source, look at the datasource package, and implement the DatabaseConnection (JavaDoc) interface.
If you want to process MyObject objects (the class you shared above will likely come at a substantial performance impact), that is not particularly hard. You need a SimpleTypeInformation<MyObject> (JavaDoc) to identify your data type, and implement a PrimitiveDistanceFunction (JavaDoc) for your data type.
If your actual data are floats, I suggest to use DoubleVector or FloatVector instead, and just use e.g. SubspaceEuclideanDistanceFunction to handle only those attributes you want to use.
For these data types and many distance functions, R*-tree indexes can be used substantially speed up DBSCAN execution time.

Not sure if there has been any posts on fuel economy but I was impressed from my first week from a full tank. My tricolor DCT with only 30kms on the clock (no, the dealer didn't supply with a full tank) when I filled the tank last week in preparation for my weekly commute to work.
30kms to work each day and back with a mix of a few kms of 100km/hr, some 60km/hr and couple of kms of bumper to bumper peak hour traffic where lane filtering is permitted.
To sum up, 300 kms using 13.9l which works out to 4.6l / 100 kms. Pretty good given the bike is so new. Average consumption on the screen showed 4.5l / 100 kms so reasonable accurate too.
Not bad - 60mpg in old money (UK) or 50mpg (US) I think.
Couple of weeks commuting has given 210miles indicated from the tank.
Mixture of daily dual carriageways, filtering, country lanes.
Not ran it till empty, lose all the bars until it flashes and got down to 20miles left in tank before I bottled it and refuelled.
Kept it around 4k revs tops to run it in (probably not required).

Didn't think that fuel economy was really much of a concern for people in the market for this kind of bike.
I don't know about that... I'm going to be commuting to work on it, so fuel economy is nice. But I'm also going to be taking long trips in remote places on it, so fuel economy is also nice there in order to maximize tank range.
I was thinking that range is more important, and then fuel economy is important as a factor in that.

Maybe not, but it is interesting to know how far you can get on a full tank.
Especially when you ride the smaller roads & off the road.
58MPG measured brim to brim, mostly two up mixed riding, I am happy with that.
Thanks for that. Are you now fully run-in and giving it some welly or is it all still a bit restrained?
I ride straight out of the crate like I will always ride it, no running in as per usual for me, so a good mix of everything really. I expect this to go 100k same as the last bike.

Meet the Class of 2020's student organization leaders
by Sarah Lindenfeld Hall
Shannon Cason (Col '20)
University Judiciary Committee Chair:
Making the Judiciary Committee more preventive and less reactive is a goal for Cason, of Ellicott City, Maryland. To do that, she'll work on efforts to encourage students to think more about "how they manage stress, their drinking habits and how that manifests outward," says Cason, who is studying cognitive science and Spanish on a pre-med track.
Lillie Lyon (Col '20)
Honor Committee Chair:
Lyon's aims include examining and updating Honor's various efforts to ensure that "investigative procedures are as fair as possible, our education initiatives effectively reach everyone at the University and our outreach efforts are widespread and productive," says the political philosophy, policy and law major from Lakeville, Minnesota.
Ellie Brasacchio (Col '20)
Student Council President:
Brasacchio, a Manassas, Virginia, native, won her seat in a landslide, earning 89 percent of the University-wide vote. The government major is eager to create lasting change, she says. "I want to lead a Student Council that is a fierce advocate for all students, especially first-generation and low-income students."
Gracie Kreth (Col '20)
Cavalier Daily Editor-in-Chief:
An English and media studies major, Kreth's focus is digital storytelling through podcasts, interactive graphics, videos and an online magazine. "We are also focusing on growing the newspaper's coverage to reflect the entire UVA community across our population of students of color, women, international students and the LGBTQ community," the Little Rock, Arkansas, native says.
Derrick Wang (Col '20) Dan Addison
Board of Visitors Student Member:
Derrick Wang (Col '20)
Wang, an economics and mathematics major, is eager to serve as a bridge between the student body and Board of Visitors, helping to shape the strategic vision for the University. "In particular, I want to be an advocate for voices that are currently underrepresented or underserved," says the Moseley, Virginia, native.
Nick Smith (Engr '20)
Co-Chair of Resident Staff Program:
The resident experience will be a focus for Smith, a systems engineering major with an engineering business minor. "We want to empower senior residents to be the student leaders on Grounds that they are and ensure that our collective team provides the best experience for our residents," says Smith, who is from Dumfries, Virginia.
Adriana Allen (Col '20)
Allen, a Spanish and linguistics major and leadership and public policy minor from Newport News, Virginia, will examine the unique experiences inside UVA's residential colleges and upper-class housing. With a deeper understanding, she says, "we can have better-equipped RAs and a greater impact on residents."

U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) NCOs continue to support Liberia Security Sector Reform (LSSR), an ongoing U.S. Department of State-led initiative coordinated through U.S. Africa Command. The program is overseen by U.S. Army officers assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia. Senior enlisted Soldiers from USARAF are assigned to four-month temporary duty tours at Camp Sandi Ware in Careysburg, Liberia. There, and at Edward Binyah Kesselly Barracks, Army NCOs work with counterparts from the U.S. Marine Forces Africa and civilian contractors to mentor Soldiers from the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).
In early 2009, USARAF began supporting the LSSR initiative by sending senior NCOs with expertise in logistics and infantry operations. Then, USARAF military police NCOs joined the team. Recently, Sgt. 1st Class Dedraf Blash, a U.S. Army Africa medical NCO, mentored female AFL soldiers and helped build capacity within the enlisted AFL medical corps. She helped implement critical administrative medical systems and helped build weekly professional development classes that AFL medics continue regularly.
U.S. Army Africa is the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command. As USARAF grows, the command continues to partner with African nations in their efforts to build effective armies. As in other parts of the continent, U.S. Army Africa will support the Liberian military's efforts to grow into a force that can support security, stability and peace within its border and support the same throughout the West African region. Meanwhile, USARAF NCOs continue to take part in both mentoring events and sustained partnership efforts in Rwanda, Algeria, Nigeria and the Horn of Africa. Other upcoming partnerships also involve Botswana and Malawi.
The initial success of USARAF's support to Liberia is one of several examples of the command's role in partnering on the continent - engaging in sustained ways to create effective African forces that support elected officials and foster peaceful environments. By building security capacity and promoting strategic partnerships with the Liberia military, the U.S. Army maintains a valuable ally in West Africa to support stability and defeat extremism in the region, a priority for U.S. foreign policy.
"Army NCOs will continue to serve as mentors, teammates and coaches to all Soldiers, at all levels within the Army. It is my hope that this year's focus on the NCO will lead the way to a highly educated, superiorly fit, and well-prepared environment in the Army, resulting in the defeat of the enemy and the protection of our Warfighters. Our NCOs set the conditions for success. Army Strong!"
- Command Sgt. Maj. Hector G. Marin, senior noncommissioned officer, Research, Development and Engineering Command and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.

The Notorious B.I.G. – Greatest Hits [Review]
King Jerm March 14, 2007
Just in time for the 10 year anniversary on his death, Notorious B.I.G 's voice is put out for the masses, this time in greatest hits, not some verses off the cutting room floor behind new beats. I actually think this is going to be hard, because BIG only had 2 albums, and a truckload of cameos! Well let's see what they selected as the Greatest Hits from the Greatest Rapper of All Time! The Biggie Duets album was not what I was expecting, but you know how all of these posthumous albums are, just something to make money off of someone's name. It starts off with his first single off of his first album, Ready to Die, "Juicy". When I first heard the song, I was like, who is this dude? But it was something about the song that made it infectious. Maybe the "Juicy Fruit" sample made the song recognizable, but you can't front Biggie killed that last verse! Next they give us "Big Poppa", now this was the song that made all big dudes in the world confident. Every time I hear the song I get hungry, "t-bone steak, cheese eggs, and Welch's grape!" Next up "Hypnotize", this is the first single off of Life after Death. This is the last video that Biggie was actually in. Makes me sad every time I see it and see how happy my man was in this one! "One More Chance/Stay With Me" is next up, the song was hot, truly a remix, different beat, different lyrics, maybe the hottest song of 1995. Biggie says "I'm not only a client, I'm the player president!" How you gone flip the Hair Club for men motto like that? That is why he was the greatest! "Get Money", one of my favorite joints of all time had him and Kim on it together, and they killed it! I mean who knew he was spilling his business on this track! Kim jumps on the track and holds her own against Frank White. This song catapulted Kim to a contender in the female rap game. "Warning" was lyrically, one of Big's best songs. He breaks down the whole story without ever losing it. He gave us the line "Damn, Ni@#az trying to stick me for my papers!" How many times you heard that in a rap song? But Big was so nasty on this song that all I can say is if you haven't heard it, GET IT! "Dead Wrong" the name says it all. Puffy was dead wrong for putting a hungry Marshall Mathers on the track with Biggie! When I heard the original, I was like this is some early Biggie, too grimy, but the beat was SLAMMING! Don't get me wrong, Biggie killed it, but Marshall came through and MURDERED it. I don't think that it was fair; Marshall was too hungry back then. But the song is BLAZING! "Who Shot Ya" is the next offering, Pac thought was directed at him, really wasn't directed at him. Just came out at a time where it seemed like a coincidence. Biggie again has a field day over the track, SMASHING IT! The "Ten Crack Commandments" had to be one of Biggie's best songs. How you gone give boys the rules to the game? How I forgot game is to be sold not told! Now "Notorious Thugs" is again one of my favorite BIG verses, notice I said verses because Bone shouldn't have been on the same track with Francis. "Notorious B.I.G" is a song that I could have done without, maybe if he was alive, it would have been better, but it wasn't. I hated what they did to "Nasty Girl" they ruined a club banger. Press Fast Forward! The track "Unbelievable" is one of the great performances by Biggie, most definitely one of his greatest hits. "Niggas Bleed" is easily one of his greatest hits just because of the way Big ripped the track! But the most questionable track on the whole compilation is the last song "Want That Old Thing Back" featuring Ja Rule and Ralph Tresvant. What is this? Man if you don't skip this…..! Bottom Line: You should have all of these tracks already. Come on people, the man put out two albums! If you don't have these..go buy the damn CD's! This wasn't so bad of a compilation of greatest hits, I just think a couple of tracks slipped through the cracks on this ("Notorious B.I.G", "Nasty Girl", and "Want That"), but hey it's still Biggie! nappy Picks: Ready to Die & Life After Death

Lahey Partners with Gloucester High School for Mental Health First Aid Training
A first aid training program to help educators spot signs of mental health issues was offered Nov. 7 to 90 teachers and staff members from Gloucester High School. The full-day training is part of a program called Youth Mental Health First Aid, and uses real-life scenarios to teach the educators how to spot potential mental health crises among their students. A certified trainer and licensed mental health counselor from Lahey Health Behavioral Services led the training.
"The goal is to teach people how to use the skills they learn for treating mental health issues in the same manner as CPR is used for physical health," said Nickey Mullen, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Director of the Employee Assistance Program at Lahey Health Behavioral Services.
Nationwide, more than 1 million people have been trained in Mental Health First Aid, which is in the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs. The program is overseen by the National Council for Behavioral Health.
"The goals of the National Council are to address the stigma of mental health issues and to provide hope and resources for people suffering from mental health and substance abuse challenges," Mullen said.
"Our teachers work closely with students every day, and we want to give them the confidence and tools to identify students who might be struggling and to help students get the assistance they need," Gloucester High School Principal James Cook said.
Lahey Health Behavioral Services plans to host other Mental Health First Aid trainings at various community locations. The curriculum can also be tailored to adults, older adults, veterans, higher education and public uniformed safety officers.
In addition to its work with Gloucester High School, the team provides training for police departments, EMTs, schools, youth programs, hospitals, parent groups and other organizations. The training is specialized for those who work with youth or for those who work with adults.
Mental Health First Aid is a nationally and internationally standardized, evidence-based program that is offered to anyone interested in being trained in it to know and recognize the signs and symptoms of behavioral health problems and crises. It also teaches trainees how to support those who are facing a crisis, and where to refer for appropriate professional care. Just as CPR helps people assist someone having a heart attack, this course provides tools to help identify, understand and appropriately support someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.

When my nephew was a toddler and had to make a decision, his hand would race to his navel and he'd start digging. He couldn't decide between waffles or pancakes, mommy or daddy, chocolate or vanilla...or strawberry. And he couldn't wear overalls, because the stress of being unable to reach his navel was unbearable. After the decision was made, he still couldn't relax. Second guessing and over-thinking is natural for some people. My nephew is a classic maximizer*. Even after making his choice, he still worries that he could have done better.
In a lot of ways, my sister-in-law V. is like a sister to me. We don't have the same parents, but we do have the same parents-in-law (if it's taking you a second to figure that out: our husbands are brothers.) Sometimes, I think we're married to the same guy, because our very minor complaints about our nearly perfect husbands are so similar. One think we've noticed about our in-laws, including our husbands, is that they're all belly button diggers. It's become so ingrained that I realized the other day that I use that phrase a lot and no one but V. has any idea what I'm talking about. Allow me to explain.
Belly button diggin' is closely related to navel gazing. It's just more agonizing and less productive. The navel gazer can produce entire works of art about him or herself (or, um, a whole blog.) The Belly Button Digger (BBD) agonizes endlessly to no avail. When I was pregnant with our third child, I decided that we absolutely had to go to Disney World, within weeks. I am not a Belly Button Digger. As soon as the thought entered my head, I was sure it had to happen. And it had to happen fast because, if history repeated itself, I would be on bedrest soon enough. The big boys were the perfect ages to enjoy Disney World and a baby would postpone the trip indefinitely. So I told my husband I was booking the trip and the Belly Button Digging began.
"I don't know...Disney World? I'd rather go to Europe."
Like that's going to happen, you Belly Button Digger.
"I don't know if I can miss five days of work."
Hello? Cell phone? No one will miss you.
Imagine him saying all of those things with an excruciating look of pain on his face. One would think I had asked him to choose between walking the plank or Russian Roulette, not a trip to Disney World or...not. Because I had no time for Belly Button Digging, I told him I was making the reservation and, while I would be happy for him to come, I would be equally happy taking my mother, who the boys adore. And he started anew.
"But they'd never forgive me."
They'd be far more focused on, I don't know, DISNEY WORLD than you, dear.
"I owe it to them to go."
There will be no martyrs at Disney World!
"Your mom doesn't want to go."
I made the reservation and told him to let me know. In the end, he went, strictly forbidden by me to make any negative remarks or ugly faces before, during or after the trip. I made him buckle up his overalls and enjoy himself, which he did.
My husband has been browbeaten out of much of his Belly Button Diggin', but others are not so lucky. And BBD's can miss out because they spend too much time thinking. It's a particularly agonizing form of procrastination. You can't decide if you want to go out Friday night, so you don't get a babysitter. But you have children, so of course you want to go out Friday night, which you finally know for sure on Friday afternoon at five o'clock, when all the babysitters are taken or on their way to Happy Hour. V. and I realized long ago that it was pointless to ask our BBD husbands on Wednesday if we should get a sitter for the weekend. They always said no and they always whined on Friday that they wished we had gotten one.
I suppose that I could do a little bit more belly button digging; I do tend to make rash decisions. I was whining to my sister today about how I'm not stupid, but not in possession of any kind of useful intelligence. She claimed that I'm plenty smart and I've made choices about what to do with my life. The truth hurts, but I guess she's right**. I do tend to choose the easiest path, not the most advanced or even the most interesting. But at least most days I'm content; some days I'm even wildly happy, like when we went to Disney World or when I got my lucky jeans. And even if I had a big, fancy life, wouldn't I still be unhappy sometimes? And wouldn't I have to work a lot harder? And not go to Yoga as often?
In the end, I think balance in a family is good. Let's say your wife is jumping on the bed with an empty Margarita glass, yelling, "Do it! Do it! Do it!" in reference to quitting your job. A little contemplation is probably a good thing. If my husband was as impulsive as I am, we'd live in a house that needed a lot more renovating than we could afford, because we'd have twelve children. And tattoos. And if I was more like him, we'd only have one child and we'd be driving the same car we had when we got married. I like to think that my impulsiveness has given him the courage to go farther with his career and do other cool stuff, like go to Disney World. And the kids never would have gotten those faux hawks. I could be wrong but, frankly, I'm just not going to think about it too much.
So, next time you want to do something like steal plants from the park in the middle of the night to plant in your yard and your friend says, "I don't know...," feel free to say, "Quitcher dang belly button diggin' and git in the car! Yer drivin'! Whooooooo!"
* If you followed that link and read about the quiz, you may find it interesting to know that I scored 17 and my husband scored in the 70's. Fun.
** Well, sort of. It's hard to explain how having three children limits you. And how you desperately love the children and wouldn't change a thing. And how you had no idea from one year to the next what you might want five years down the line. A little belly button diggin' might have left my options open, but I wouldn't have as many children and my children crack me up, which is pretty much all I want out of life. Except...oops, I came pretty close to Belly Button Diggin' right there.
I'm a 30 married to a 66. We both lied a bit.

Pericles Play: Overview & Resources
You are here: Home / Pericles Play: Overview & Resources
The Pericles play is set in the ancient world, in Antioch (Syria at the time but Southern Turkey today); Tyre in southern Lebanon; Tarsus, Southern Turkey; Pentapolis, a group of five cities in North Africa; Ephasis in Western Turkey and Myteline on the Greek island of Lesbos. Two of the scenes take place on a ship at sea. See a map of Pericles settings
Date written: 1606 – 1608
Genre classification: Pericles is generally regarded as a Comedy, or a tragicomedy.
Main characters in Pericles: There is a host of minor characters but the drama centres on the three main protagonists, Pericles, the Prince of Tyre. He is separated from his wife, Thais, who is lost during a storm at sea and given up for death. While at sea, her daughter, Marina, is born. She survives and is restored to her father. At the end of the play the three are reunited. See a full list of characters in Pericles.
Pericles themes: This play deals with the unpredictable and dangerous journey through life. Appearance versus reality is a major theme of this play. Shakespeare begins to explore it right in the beginning when the beautiful and virtuous-seeming princess of Antioch is revealed as an evil young woman. Virtue versus vice pervades the play. Chaos and order are contrasted throughout. The role of kings is examined with the contrast between Antiochus and Pericles.

Chabad Center Wins Architecture Award
by Rivka Chaya Berman - BUCKS COUNTY, PA
Gen. George Washington mustered his troops in Bucks County, PA, en route to their famed crossing of the icy, treacherous Delaware River. When Chabad–Lubavitch of Bucks County bought a building right in the heart of the historic district and refurbished it into the Glazier Jewish Center, there could have been another battle royale. Instead the Center won an Adaptive Reuse Award from the Historic Architecture Review Board (HARB).
"The Jewish Center has been particularly sensitive," said HARB Administrator Jonathan Mount. "They have upgraded and improved the space but did not alter the essential character of the building."
"The award opens doors for people to feel free to come to our events," said Associate Director of Education, Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein.
On the award from HARB, Chabad is praised for embodying a "shared sense of purpose, uniting all of us who value the preservation of heritage." HARB saluted Chabad for gracefully maintaining heritage by minding the status quo. The forces behind the Glazier Jewish Center are striving to preserve heritage, Jewish heritage, by enhancing its packaging. Designing an open space, free of the "trappings of affiliation," said Executive Director Rabbi Yehudah Shemtov, is a gateway to "overcoming the fear factor that keeps so many Jews away from Judaism."
Anyone searching for a traditional dark wood and maroon velvet padded pews would not find it anywhere in the 18,500 square foot Jewish Center. There are cork floors in the lobby. Walls painted in an array of earthy colors warm the space. Light pours in from the windows, even the new stained glass window designed to replace the old one is spare and light. "Rabbi Shemtov charged us to design a space that people relate to and offers something unexpected, not somber," said Fred Albert, a vice president at SPG3, the architectural, interior design, landscaping design and planning firm behind the Jewish Center's look.
"It doesn't scream synagogue," said community Nadine Simantov, an owner/partner of Keller Williams Real Estate. The building's redesign is "intriguing," and Simantov has seen people come inside off the street out of curiosity. "It is inviting enough to walk in, and not scary like you have to pray." Armed only with a Ping Pong table, the new Associate Director of Youth Programming Rabbi Mendy Lezell recently attracted a crowd of 30 teens, and this is before the Center's wireless internet network is in place.
A bold departure from standard synagogue décor is what's needed to tap into the vast majority of Bucks County's 40,000 Jews who are not affiliated with area synagogues, according to Rabbi Shemtov. Offbeat retail strategies are Rabbi Shemtov's model for offering Jewish Bucks Countyians a medium through which to explore Judaism. The Center's Chanukah Wonderland was patterned after the Zany Brainy toy chain, where free crafts drew children with parents in tow. Just as Barnes and Nobles Bookstores place cafes on site to encourage browsing, soon--when fundraising goals are reached--noshers will be welcomed in the Jewish reading room.
Jim Rudolph, CEO of Rita's Water Ice and past Chair of the Pittsburgh UJF, praised the design of the Jewish Center as "very impressive, very enlightening, and refreshing." Rabbi Shemtov is "going into uncharted waters" by creating a space where "Jews can shmooze and hang out... I like his vision," Rudolph said.
On a warm spring day this week, shoppers, dog walkers, working stiffs on lunch break sip their lattes on the curving bench that embraces a stately tree outside the Jewish Center. Cascades from a new water feature in the garden soothe with a lulling trickle. Across the street from a shoe boutique, the borough courthouse, close to an historic inn and charming art galleries, the Jewish Center is situated right in the middle of a hot trend. As more and more people view the suburban dream of 2-acre house plots as an isolating dystopia, where buying a quart of milk requires a gas guzzling drive, cozy, walking friendly neighborhoods like Newtown are booming. When the property for the Jewish Center became available on North State Street, a heavily foot-trafficked browsers' boulevard, Nathalie and Jason Glazier, formerly the Chief Technical Officer for a Fortune 200 company, were prompted to help Chabad make the down payment. "It's unbelievable the work you can do in the middle of town. We have been able to really integrate into the community."
After crossing the Delaware, Washington's troops fought and won the Battle of Trenton, a turning point in the American Revolution and, thus, in world history. The minds behind the look, feel and experience at the Glazier Jewish Center are striving for no less, a revolution in how Jews relate to Judaism.

Under the Good Jobs-Report Hood
Larry Kudlow / Townhall Columnist
Good news for the American worker: Employment in June surged 288,000, with a 262,000 gain in the private sector, easily beating the consensus forecast of 215,000 new payrolls. This marks the fifth consecutive monthly increase of 200,000 or more jobs, the best five-month stretch since early 2006. As for the unemployment rate, it dropped from 6.3 to 6.1 percent.
Stocks surged on the news, with the Dow closing above 17,000 for a record high.
And the good news doesn't end there: The small-business household survey gained a big 407,000 while the number of unemployed fell by 325,000. These job gains were spread wide across the economy, as the diffusion index jumped from 62.9 to 64.8 percent. And although lower-paying retailers counted for a big 40,000 jump, higher-paying professional and business services increased 67,000.
But there were some important glitches in this good-news report.
For one, worker wages remained soft, rising only 2 percent over the past 12 months. And total hours worked are 2.1 percent ahead of a year ago, suggesting that overall income and nominal GDP are growing at a relatively slow 4-percent rate.
Meanwhile, the U6 unemployment rate, which includes part-time workers who want better full-time jobs or folks who have given up, dropped only slightly to 12.1 percent. That's still a historically high rate. And the labor-force participation rate was unchanged at 62.8 percent, a 30-year low.
Wall Street Journal editor Phil Izzo makes a disconcerting point: The good way for unemployment to fall is for more people to find jobs. But the bad way is for more people to give up looking for work altogether.
Unfortunately, Izzo notes that while 2.15 million people gained employment in June, 2.35 million dropped out of the labor force. "In all but two months since December 2008, more unemployed have dropped out than found jobs," writes Izzo.
So underneath the hood of the strong June jobs report, we still find big problems with the U.S. jobs situation.
Representative Kevin Brady, chairman of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, points out that compared to the average of post-1960 recoveries, this one still has a private-sector jobs gap of 5.8 million. To get back on track, the economy needs to add 374,000 private-sector jobs every month through the end of 2016.
This has always been a rather lopsided economic expansion. For example, auto sales surged to 16.9 million in June, a very good number. And the energy sector has been strong for many years. But consumer spending actually fell in April and May. And long-term business investment -- a huge job creator -- remains in the doldrums.
The latest Business Roundtable survey shows a slowdown in capex spending plans. The National Association for Business Economics predicts only a bit more than 3 percent business-investment growth. And the National Federation of Independent Business says only 24 percent of small-business owners plan capital outlays in the next three to six months.
The paradox is, while companies seem more willing to hire, they are not willing to make long-term investments in the economy. It's not hard to guess that this corporate caution stems in large part from tax and regulatory uncertainties, and frankly, a White House that is anti-business.
A recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by UCLA economics professor Lee Ohanian and Nobelist Edward C. Prescott points to the large decline in the creation of new start-up businesses as a major factor in the lack of business fixed investment. The authors argue that policies hampering entrepreneurs need to be changed. They point to immigration reform that increases the pool of skilled workers, tax reform that reduces the corporate income tax and changing Dodd-Frank financial regulations to make it easier and cheaper for small businesses to get loans.
I continue to believe that slashing business tax rates (and ultimately abolishing the corporate tax) would be the single most important economic-growth policy right now. And importantly, small business S-corps must be allowed to take advantage of any lower C-corp tax rate.
A recent study from the Tax Foundation, using a dynamic simulation model, argues that cutting the federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 25 percent would, over 10 years, raise real GDP by more than 2 percent, increase private business-capital investment by more than 6 percent, boost worker wages by 2 percent and increase total federal revenues by nearly 1 percent.
I would add to this the need to repatriate U.S. profits lodged overseas, which are taking advantage of lower foreign tax rates. A small penalty rate of 5 percent could bring back $1 trillion.
Let's bring American companies back home. There will be more growth, more investment, more jobs and much higher wages.

Reforming Immigration Reform
Rich Tucker , Townhall Columnist
Gentlemen," Herbert Hoover told visiting dignitaries in June of 1930, "you have come six weeks too late." The Depression, he declared, was over. Sadly, for him and for the country, he wasn't correct.
Still, sometimes you do arrive too late and miss all the action. Take the group of immigration reform activists who crashed Rep. Eric Cantor's "victory" party in June. "What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it?
Now!" they chanted. Two problems: Cantor had, like Elvis, already left the building. And because of the primary results, the former House Majority Leader will be leaving Congress in January.
Even if Cantor had prevailed at the ballot box, this would have been an odd protest. His defeat was, at least partly, because he was working to push through a "comprehensive" immigration reform measure.
Cantor spoke about immigration last year, in the midst of a long speech at the American Enterprise Institute. He touched on many excellent ideas over the course of that speech: Education reform that favors students rather than teacher unions. Reducing regulations to make new, better medicines available more quickly. Simplifying the tax code.
But he also addressed immigration.
"A good place to start is with the kids," he announced. "It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this country as children and who know no other home."
Well, that sounds an awful lot like the DREAM Act, which has been introduced some 30 times in several Congresses but never approved. President Obama, vastly overstepping his constitutional bounds, basically enacted such a policy via executive fiat in 2012. He ordered the Department of Homeland Security to defer deportation proceedings against an estimated 1.7 million illegal aliens.
The President himself had admitted that he doesn't have the constitutional authority to implement the DREAM Act: "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions," he told Hispanic activists in 2011. But 2012 was an election year, and the move generated some good PR.
The problem with this approach is that it's starting at the wrong end.
Dealing with children who've been brought here illegally is always going to be one of our country's most difficult problems. So instead of getting bogged down on that while trying to pass "comprehensive" reform, lawmakers should start where there's wide agreement: close the borders.
Crack down on people working illegally. Force illegals to "tag up" in their home country before they can return here.
After these less controversial problems are solved, lawmakers could then turn to the more difficult problems, such as what to do with "the kids."
Instead, we're dealing with the fallout of Obama's unilateral actions.
"Between 2008 and 2011, the number of children landing in the custody of Refugee Resettlement fluctuated between 6,000 and 7,500 per year" FOX reports. "In 2012 border agents apprehended 13,625 unaccompanied children and that number surged even more -- to 24,668 -- last year." AsThe Economist reports, "A leaked border-agency memo based on interviews with 230 women and children apprehended in the Rio Grande Valley concluded that they had crossed the border mainly because they expected to be allowed to stay." So we're making the most contentious problem worse, instead of solving the problems we generally agree about.
Now the president is again vowing action. "The only thing I can't do is stand by and do nothing," he says. So he's asking Congress (what a concept!) for more money for detention facilities and more judges to speed the processing of those who've been caught here. It's a start.
The United States is a nation of immigrants. We have always welcomed the rest of the world, and we will continue to do so. But it must be done on our terms, and to our benefit. That's where immigration reform needs to start.
Taking reasonable steps that enjoy overwhelming approval would be far easier than trying to enact comprehensive reform. Lawmakers could the border under control. But they have to stop making the perfect (comprehensive reform) the enemy of the good.
Secret Document Just Released Proves Obama Can Kill Americans With Drone Strikes
But how free are we really?
Judge Andrew Napolitano / Western Center for Journalism
After a brief holiday last week, I returned to some heavy reading courtesy of the federal government. Some of the materials that I read were gratifying, and one was terrifying.
In one week, the Supreme Court told the police that if they want to examine the contents of our cellphones, whether at traffic stops or serious crime scenes, they need to get a warrant. The court told small-business owners that they needn't pay for government-mandated insurance policies that provide for abortions for their employees because the government is without authority to command them to do so. It told the president that he cannot wait until Saturday morning, when the Senate is not in session, to appoint high-level officials whose jobs require Senate confirmation–and then claim that they do not require Senate confirmation because the Senate was in recess. And it told selfless parents who stay home to care for their disabled children that the government may not force them to join health-care labor unions and pay union dues against their will.
Buried in these opinions was a legal memorandum sent to the president on July 16, 2010, nearly four years ago, and released last week, after two years of litigation aimed at obtaining it.
The Obama administration had successfully resisted the efforts of The New York Times and others to induce a judge to order the release of the memo by claiming that it contained state secrets. The judge who reviewed the memo concluded that it was merely a legal opinion, and yet she referred to herself as being in "Alice in Wonderland": The laws are public, and the judicial opinions interpreting them are public, so how could a legal opinion be secret? Notwithstanding her dilemma, she accepted the government's absurd claims, and the Times appealed.
Then the government shot itself in the foot when it surreptitiously released a portion of its secret memo to NBC News. This infuriated the panel of federal appellate judges hearing the Times' appeal, and they ordered the entire memo released. Either it is secret or it is not, the court thundered — and the government, which is bound by the transparency commanded by the First Amendment, cannot pick and choose which parts of its work to reveal to its favorite reporters and which to conceal from the rest of us.
Last week, the administration released the memo. It consists of 40 highly blacked-out pages, the conclusion of which is that the president can order the CIA to kill Americans who are present in foreign countries and who, in the opinion of high-level government officials, pose a threat to Americans and may be difficult to arrest.
The memorandum acknowledges that it is unprecedented in its scope and novel in its conclusion, and requires predicting what courts will do if they review it. Lawyers often predict for their clients what courts will do, and thus from their predictions, extrapolate advice for their clients. But history has recorded no memo before this one that has advised a president in writing that he is free to kill an American who is not engaging in violence. The logic of the memorandum states that Americans overseas who join organizations that promote acts of terror are the equivalent of enemy soldiers in uniform in wartime. It follows, the memo argues, that because Congress has authorized the president to kill foreign terrorists when they are in foreign lands, he can kill Americans there as well.
Conveniently, the memorandum never mentions the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which famously commands that if the government wants the life, liberty, or property of any person, it can only do so via due process. Due process requires a jury trial with its attendant constitutional protections. The only recognized exceptions to this requirement are the individual and collective right to immediate self-defense. Since natural rights trump all positive law, a cop can kill a bank robber who is shooting at him; and soldiers can kill enemy soldiers who are about to shoot at them. At the root of the recognized exceptions to the requirement of due process is the active violence of the perpetrator, such that due process is impossible and such that the threat to life is clear, present, and immediate.
The persons killed pursuant to this secret memo were all Americans. One, Anwar al-Awlaki, the stated target of the memo, was not engaged in combat or armed or on a battlefield when he was killed; he did not wear the uniform of an enemy army, and he was not engaged in active violence at the time of his murder. He was in a car in the desert in Yemen driving to meet his 16-year-old American son. He had been under continuous surveillance by 12 American and four Yemeni intelligence agents for the 48 hours preceding his murder by a CIA drone. The drone that killed him was soon followed by drones that killed his son and two other Americans.
This week marks the anniversary of America's birth as a free nation, when we fought a war against a tyrant and seceded from his kingdom. We thought we had banished tyranny from our shores. We thought we had ratified a Constitution that would compel the government to respect our natural rights. We thought we had established a society based upon the rule of law.
We were wrong. We have gone from an inherited tyrant to an elected one. I have never heard President Obama say this; but it seems logical that if he thinks he can lawfully kill Americans abroad, he also thinks he can kill us here.
Congressman rips into 'good monarch' Obama
Warns prez 'quickly moving' U.S. toward constitutional crisis
Greg Corombos / WND Radio Host and news director for Radio America
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, says President Obama is acting like a monarch in unilaterally changing immigration policy and threatening to do it again on a grander scale.
The congressman says Obama is personally responsible for the surge of illegals, including unaccompanied minors, across our southern border, and Congress should begin a process of withholding funding for any department of government that refuses to enforce the existing laws.
"I would greatly prefer Congress actually do something. I take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and Congress chooses to do nothing," said Obama.
In a White House Rose Garden statement on Monday, Obama ripped congressional Republicans for refusing to approve comprehensive immigration reform and said they left him with no choice but to pursue reform on his own.
While the president may be frustrated, Gohmert says Obama surrendered the authority to make or change laws the minute he left the legislative branch of government.
"He didn't run for the legislature. He left the legislature and ran for president. Legislating is not an option for him unless he wants to destroy our Constitution or create a constitutional crisis, which he is quickly moving us toward," said Gohmert.
In the same Rose Garden statement, Obama stated he is asking Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder for recommendations on what he can do on immigration policy through executive action.
If Obama makes good on that promise, Gohmert says House members need to take swift and decisive action.
"The Founders gave us the power of the purse. It's going to take a lot of courage to stand up to the president and say we're going to start defunding anything that you care deeply about that's not important to the American people," said Gohmert, who wants to start by removing funding for the attorney general's office and rescinding salaries for anyone held in contempt of Congress.
"We need to start eliminating any money for any federal agency or department, including the White House, that is not following the law. Then you get their attention. That's what the Founders anticipated.
I know our speaker [John Boehner] says we're only half of one-third [of the government]. Well, we're the most important half of the appropriations process. If we don't agree to an appropriation, it doesn't happen. It's time we took a stronger stand in that regard," said Gohmert.
Obama also claimed on Monday that comprehensive immigration reform was an urgent priority because the present surge of illegal immigrants is proof that our existing laws are very confusing to people yearning to live in the U.S.
Gohmert says that analysis is exactly backwards.
"The current rules are confusing because the law is very clear and yet the president came out and announced, like a good monarch would, that he didn't like the law and so he pronounced new law. 'If you meet these requirements, then we'll let you stay here. So I have spoken, so shall it be.' That's what monarchs do. So because of that, it is confusing. The law itself is not," said Gohmert.

NYT: Obama's Plan to Fight Terror Groups Falling Apart
By Drew MacKenzie
Problems with President Barack Obama's plan to fight terrorism have been exposed by the Islamic insurgents in Iraq, The New York Times reported.
Obama outlined his blueprint for the war on terrorists while speaking in May to West Point graduates, declaring that instead of using American forces to contain violent extremists, the United States would train local troops to fight the threats.
The idea is to prevent expensive wars such as Iraq and Afghanistan that have resulted in a war-weary public reluctant to support further aggression.
But his hopes have quickly unraveled as extremist fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have captured vast regions of those countries in its attempt to create a caliphate in the war-torn zone, the Times said.
The weaknesses in Obama's plan were highlighted by the quick collapse of the American-trained Iraqi security forces, which have surrendered their weapons and millions of dollars of U.S. military arms while fleeing from the Sunni jihadists.
ISIS has turned from a ragtag bunch of terrorists into a powerful army and administration officials admit it could take months or even years for Iraqis security forces to repel them, the Times said.
The United States will have to be patient while arming and training a "constantly shifting cast of surrogates" to confront the threats it once faced mainly by itself, the newspaper added.
After Obama announced last week that the United Sates would spend $500 million to help Syrian rebels, Pentagon officials said that it could take months before the fighters would be ready for battle.
"The Islamic State's resources are increasing faster than the appropriations process back in Washington," Robert Ford, a former American ambassador to Syria, told the Times. "The administration is going to have to think of some things to do in the short term."
In Iraq, the Pentagon is likely to need several months to retrain Iraqi forces, having already spent $25 billion in training over the past decade.
White House officials admitted that Obama's counter-terrorism policy needed time to work, while noting that the United States has used drones, special forces and intelligence assets in the short-term in other Middle East situations.
"Building capable partners is clearly the long-term solution," Benjamin Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser, told the newspaper. "But as we've shown in places like Yemen and Somalia, if we have to fill gaps with U.S. direct action against a specific terrorist threat, we are prepared to do so."
The Obama administration has considered air strikes in Iraq and Syria, but that plan has its own drawback, namely that ISIS fighters are now working alongside Sunni Iraqis opposed to the Shiite government.
"That's going to be a tough challenge, to separate them, if we were to take a decision to strike," Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said at a briefing, according to the Times.

Scenes of the nativity all trace their roots to St. Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 organized the first known representation of the Holy Night. Live animals filled a humble stable and members the surrounding communities, regardless of status or wealth, played the parts of the Holy Family, Shepherds, and Wise Men. The meaning behind the re-enactment was clear: The Child was God's gift to all.

Columbia announces big-screen adaptation of "Goosebumps"
Script based on children's book series will be penned by writer of "Disturbia"
It's official: the 1990s retro craze is starting. First Capcom revived "Street Fighter" last year, and now "Goosebumps"? R.L. Stine's beloved series of horror novels that captivated kids when Harry Potter was still in kindergarten? Yes, it's back.
Columbia Pictures announced a writer for a big-screen adaptation of "Goosebumps" in the Hollywood Reporter last night. His name is Carl Ellsworth, and his résumé is pretty solid -- he's credited for both "Disturbia" and "Red Eye." He also apparently wrote for the "Xena" and "Animorphs" TV shows, so his '90s street cred checks out. Holy crap, remember "Animorphs"?
Perez Hilton thinks "Goosebumps: The Movie" could either be really epic or really lame. Film School Rejects reminds us a "Goosebumps" script was attempted in the past, but never went anywhere. But perhaps this is the right time. "Goosebumps" hasn't captured the cultural zeitgeist in almost 15 years, which means it almost qualifies as retro. There's also the question of which novels the movie will draw upon. "The Ghost Next Door" was a good one. "One Day at Horrorland," perhaps?
In the meantime, if you wanna walk down memory lane to a time before 9/11 or the Backstreet Boys ever entered your innocent young mind, here's the intro to the 1995 "Goosebumps" TV series. Viewer beware! You're in for a scare!
