PELHAM, N.Y. -- The Picture House Regional Film Center (TPH) in Pelham will screen the documentary "Robert Klein Still Can't Stop His Leg" on Wednesday, March 29, followed by a discussion with the director, TPH's critic-in- residence Marshall Fine, and the film's subject, legendary comedian Robert Klein.
In the documentary, Fine follows Klein in his daily routines and gives viewers an inside look at a seasoned comic improvising jokes about everyday life: grocery shopping, getting a haircut and hanging out with pals, according to a release from TBH.
Interviews with comedians Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, to name a few, as well as clips from some of Klein's seminal routines, round out this entertaining portrait, the release said.
Following the screening, Fine will moderate a discussion and Q&A with Klein.
For more than 40 years, Klein has entertained audiences, and he continues to have an acclaimed career in comedy, on Broadway, on television, and in film. Born in the Bronx, Klein was a member of the famed Second City theatrical troupe in Chicago.
He was nominated twice for Grammy Awards for Best Comedy Album of the Year. He received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor, and won a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his performance in the hit Neil Simon musical, "They're Playing Our Song."
In 1993, Klein won an Obie and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in Wendy Wasserstein's play "The Sisters Rosensweig."
Klein was the first comedian to appear in a live concert on HBO in 1975. He has gone on to do nine one-man shows for HBO and received his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 2001 for "Robert Klein: Child in His 50's."
Among dozens of starring and guest-starring roles on television, he co-starred in the hit NBC series "Sisters," has a recurring guest- starring role on "Law and Order" and has guest-starred on "The Good Wife," "Madam Secretary" and "Royal Pains."
Klein made more than 100 appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Late Show with David Letterman" and has hosted "Saturday Night Live" three times. He is a current favorite on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
Fine was long-time film critic for The Journal-News and national film correspondent for Gannett News Service, and film/TV critic for Star magazine. A three-time-chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle, he is a contributing editor to Cigar Aficionado magazine.
He writes about film on a regular basis for his website, Hollywood & Fine and posts regularly for the Huffington Post.
Fine authored biographies for directors Sam Peckinpah and John Cassavetes and has also directed a documentary about film critic Rex Reed.
Tickets to this special screening and discussion are $15 for general admission, and $12 for students, seniors and members. Tickets are available at www.thepicturehouse.org or at the box office, 175 Wolfs Lane, Pelham.
The screening will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Illinois Man Arrested After Sending Two Hostages on Beer Run
An Illinois man who police say held five people hostage in a Fort Madison motel was arrested after he sent two of his hostages on a beer run.
Police say 33-year-old Jason Slagel, of Moline, Ill., is charged with five counts of false imprisonment and going armed with intent. They say Slagel pulled a knife during an argument Tuesday night with another man and told the people in the room that they wouldn't be allowed to leave.
One man was cut and Slagel had a cut on his hand, but police say the injuries weren't serious.
Police say that after awhile, Slagel got thirsty and sent two of his hostages out for beer.
After the hostages left, they called police and Slagel was arrested without incident.

'Man on the street' is offensive to women. MAJOR MOONBAT STUFF HERE. OH BOY. can I say boy?
I ONCE ASKED WHERE THIS SILLY CRAP IS GONNA END. AND WHEN? WELL, I GUESS NEVER, EVER. AND THE BRITS WILL LEAD THE WAY IT SEEMS.
ACTUALLY, THE POWERS THAT BE AT ANY TIME THINK UP THIS OUTRAGIOUS CRAP. I VERY MUCH DOUBT THE AVERAGE "MAN ON THE STREET" EVER THINKS ABOUT THIS. I MEAN, IN ORDER TO BE OFFENDED THEY (PTBs) HAVE TO TELL PPL THEY ARE BEING OFFENDED. EVEN IF THEY NEVER KNEW IT.
AND IF ANY FEMALE ANYWHERE IS OFFENDED BY THIS VERY OLD PHRASE, PLEASE. STOP BREATHING NOW. RIGHT THIS MINUTE. JERKS!
The phrase "man on the street" should not be used in case it offends women, according to a politically-correct language guide for council staff.
By Jessica Salter
Last Updated: 6:56AM BST 26 Aug 2008
The document claims the popular saying is based on the assumption that the world is male and makes the views or work of women invisible.
It suggests that town hall officers should use "general public" a positive and less offensive alternative.
The guide also kills off the phrase "manning the switchboard" and suggests "staffing" or "running the switchboard" instead.
The suggestions, put forward by Chichester District Council, West Sussex, have been criticised as an example of "repulsive" political correctness.
Tony Colpoys, chairman of Ebernoe parish council, West Sussex, said: "This kind of thing really gets my goat - it's not as though anybody in their right mind would believe that the "man in the street" referred solely to the male sex. It's just stupid, I've never heard anything like it.
"I think political correctness is one of the most ghastly things about our society - it's one of the most repulsive things ever to be invented."
The council said that the document, which is distributed to all staff and council members, is not a rulebook but a guide to help staff and members find the correct words.
A spokesman said: "We introduced the guide because as community leaders we must be aware of what modern society requires of the public sector. This includes the sensitivity of various individuals and groups, and current thinking in society in general.
"It is easy to make fun of individual phrases or words but what we are seeking to do is to be more sensitive and responsive to the needs of others in our society."
The seven-page guide offers other suggestions, including avoiding phrases like "old woman", "old fool" and "old codger", which, the council said, make old people seem fussy, stupid and dependent. It suggests simply using the phrase "old person" instead.
Have Your Say: Is the phrase 'man on the street' offensive to women?

Prius Drivers: Big car drivers are ugly
Just in case you weren't yet 648.2% percent certain that Greenies are also total Elitists ...
Every morning, as Lynn Schmidt walks out of her Long Island, N.Y., home, opens the door to her baby-blue Prius, waves to her grumbling neighbor and pulls out of the driveway, she has every reason to smile. It's not just the 45 miles per gallon her gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle is getting. And it's not only that she can go three weeks without a fill-up. It's also because that through her choice of automobile, Lynn is doing what she considers her share of being ecologically reasonable.
"Everyone should be concerned about the level of emissions," says Schmidt. "We all need to do our part and make changes for the better."
She's not alone. With skyrocketing oil prices, many owners of hybrid vehicles and practitioners of the "green" lifestyle are seeing their eco-friendly choices pay off. But that's led to some grumblings from late adopters — and charges that the greener-than-thou are guilty of "eco-snobbery."
The other day, she pulled up next to another Prius — and the two drivers exchanged a knowing smile of eco-camaraderie.
"There can be some smugness on the part of the Prius owners because it's distinctive," says Michael Omotoso of the automotive-marketing-data giant J.D. Power and Associates. "It's 'Hey, look at me, I'm driving a hybrid!'"
Studies conducted by J.D. Power show that the typical hybrid purchaser is better educated and wealthier than the average car buyer. Furthering the exclusivity is the fact that available hybrids are hard to find.
And how much would you like to bet that at least 80% of the typical hybrid purchasers are lefties?
"I think that we Prius owners need a dating/whatever program, to hook us up with other Prius owners," says one poster on Priuschat.com. He admits it's half a joke, but says it "stems from my inability to look at people with gas-burning cars as attractive."
It's clear that hybrid buyers want to appear environmentally conscious, observes Aaron Bragman, a Detroit-based research analyst with the Global Insight economic-forecasting company.
"A big component [of hybrid ownership] is the social aspect," he says, adding that if a consumer just wanted to save money on gas, he or she could buy a new subcompact for $11,000 instead of forking out a minimum of $22,000 for a hybrid.
Peiper sends me newspaper clippings from England. There are always car ads in there. I don't know how putt-putt the little cars sold over there are, or even really how little they actually are, but the MPG numbers all the Pius owners are so high on actually suck. Quite a number of cars in the UK get 15 - 20 mpg better "extra urban" (ie highway) mileage than this thing does. They also have less of a "carbon footprint" too I think.

Another Daily EWW
Pregnant Prostitutes To Face Charges
Two women were charged with prostitution in Camden County on Thursday after they were arrested in a sting operation at a Lake Ozark hotel last week. Two other women were also arrested, and three of the women are pregnant. Alexandra Wells and Allysia Waldrop were both charged on Thursday. Waldrop is pregnant, but is not known if Wells is also. The undercover bust went down at a Lake Ozark area hotel after the sheriff's department received several reports that pregnant women were advertising prostitution on an internet advertising site. One of the women arrested was eight months pregnant, another six months pregnant, and another was three months pregnant. They ranged in age from 18 to 22 years old.
Is this just an Ozark thing, or is this a common perversion? Women becoming prostitutes because they are pregnant? There's a market for that? I admit I live under a rock. I may have seen a prostitute once on the sidewalks of the meat cutting district in NYC. It's an alien world to me. But come on. This is just sick.

I'm gonna heave
Do-nothing Congress tries for an even lower approval rating:
House to Apologize for Slavery, Jim Crow
Gosh, ya think these turd lickers might be a little late? Say, by about 143 years or thereabouts? But hey, wasting their time and your money on useless crap like this sure beats working!
The House of Representatives was poised Tuesday to pass a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow. The nonbinding resolution, which is expected to pass, was introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a white lawmaker who represents a majority black district in Memphis, Tennessee.
While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.
By passing the resolution, the House would also acknowledge the "injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow."
"Jim Crow," or Jim Crow laws, were state and local laws enacted mostly in the Southern and border states of the United States between the 1870s and 1965, when African-Americans were denied the right to vote and other civil liberties and were legally segregated from whites.
Just hold my head over the bucket, would ya? I don't wanna hurl any chunks on the carpet. Not one of these idiots was in office when slavery existed. And any one of them that was around when the Jim Crow laws were in effect is damn old. However, if any of those old Democrats still in office actually voted in favor of such laws, or against equal rights or against civil rights, then apologies are insufficient: they should be run out of office and publicly horsewhipped.
Aww crap, I feel another heave a-comin:
The resolution states that "the vestiges of Jim Crow continue to this day."
"African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow—long after both systems were formally abolished—through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and professional lives, and the long-term loss of income and opportunity," the resolution states.
That takes care of my lunch. Note that this announcement is coincident with a long series of recent articles from CNN on Being Black ... all geared to show us just how much we need Obama to come save us all. Could the government play into the meme any harder if they tried?
Now hold onto your own cookies, because ... you knew it, right? ... here it comes:
The resolution does not address the controversial issue of reparations. Some members of the African-American community have called on lawmakers to give cash payments or other financial benefits to descendents of slaves as compensation for the suffering caused by slavery.
Fuckin hosers just won't quit on that one. Here's your reparation: you are a citizen of the United States, with rights and opportunities equal to everyone else. At the end of slavery your ancestors were not shipped back to africa, nor were they executed. It may have taken you all those extra decades to gain full equality, but up until the very last years you didn't fight for it. So shut up.

Eww! Your utterly classless act of the day
French couple fined for making porno at Vimy Ridge Memorial
Like Ypres, the Somme, the battle for Arras, and the St Miheil Salient, the fight for Vimy Ridge was another WWI battle that claimed the lives of tens of thousands. Vimy was especially catastrophic to the Canadian troops who won the fight; they suffered more than 14,000 casualties in just 3 days of fighting; one quarter of their losses from the entire war. 18 years after the war, King Edward unveiled the massive memorial pictured above. This soaring and somber edifice remained a respected site for generations, but alas, no more.
Pornography has become the latest threat to graves and memorials on the First World War battlefields of northern France.
While common acts of desecration have in the past included vandalism and graffiti, indecent photographs and videos are increasingly being shot around the magnificent structures built during the post-war years to remember the fallen.
The latest incident saw a French couple given a four-month suspended prison sentence for making a pornographic video at the Vimy Ridge memorial near Arras.
After being found guilty of exhibitionism, they were fined £400 each and ordered to pay a symbolic one euro (80 pence) in damages to Canada, which lost 60,000 men in the Great War.
Despite the courageous deeds and sacrifice honoured by the Vimy Memorial, the couple are believed to have stripped naked and performed sex acts beside the soaring stone structure. They then posted the video on a website, invited people to pay to watch it.
Their punishment came just six months after another couple were fined for taking nude photographs of themselves in the same place. In the latest case, heard at Arras criminal court, involving the married couple, who are in their 30s, lawyers expressed concern at the gradual increase in such incidents at the memorial. The prosecutor, Elise Bozzolo, said: "The memorial has been known for a long time as a place where exhibitionism and voyeurism is common."
Police who investigated the case said similar incidents were regularly reported at other memorial and military graveyards. "It is a problem which appears to be getting worse - people appear to get a perverse pleasure out of this behaviour," said a police spokesman in Arras.
EWW. Just eww. This disgusts me. Some things are sacrosanct. But it doesn't surprise me; almost all of the brave and heroic Frenchmen died in the first World War. After that the Socialists took over, and started rewriting history and downplaying their sacrifices. Today ... well, you know. Al-fwance. Car burnings. "Disaffected youths". It's no surprise that monuments like this one are being defiled.

FUNDING FOR THE ARTS BUT FIRST, SHOW US YOUR BISEXUALS, HOMOSEXUALS, LESBIANS OR 'NOT KNOWNS'
BMEWS readers, it just doesn't get any crazier then this. Maybe.
A couple of days ago I think I said something similar, except that I also qualified things by saying every time I claimed to have found the dumbest item worthy of a Moonbat award, darn if something else didn't come up to challenge that opinion and so the last post I did on a dumb story I left open. That is, I refrained from saying yet again, this is the stupidest thing so far.
Well, being as how the Brits continually come up with things that outdo themselves, I can't say it won't get dumber then this either. Who knows what politically correct lunacy they'll follow this with. But I'm certain they'll come up with something. They have so far.
OK first, I have a url >>> http://www.mediauk.com/magazines/344246/compass-wessex, but it was no help at all in supplying a proper link to the story.
I am doing a word for word copy here. I suppose I could have tried to do a scan, but my software isn't good enuff to do a readable copy justice.
So finally, here we go.
SHAME on the ARTS COUNCIL
Actors Ian Mckellen, Ralph Fiennes and Kevin Spacy are outraged by the Arts Council's new rules for obtaining funding.
The council now REQUIRES all arts organizations to state how many board members are Bisexual, Homosexual, Heterosexual, Lesbian or 'Not Known.'
It says it's necessary to see if the applicants are representative. "We see diversity as broader then race, ethnicity, faith, and disability," says Audrey Roy, the director of grants.
(I edited out the word 'gay' and used the proper term Homosexual altho I confess I was tempted to use the queer word. Bothers me that a perfectly good word like gay has been hijacked by deviants and we all have to live with it. )
So then. This week we have been treated to, a study that proves babies can be racist if they make a face at spicy food, and a call again for sex ed. for 5 years olds. What next? Stay Tuned!
Drew sticks his nose in:
Morning Peiper. I think these are the links you're looking for?
The Arts Council has encountered ridicule and anger over attempts to force theatre and museum trustees to disclose their sexuality to obtain funding.
New grant forms require arts organisations to state how many board members are bisexual, gay, heterosexual, lesbian or "not known".
Sir Ian McKellen and Vanessa Redgrave are among leading figures of the stage who have condemned the move, which appears to discriminate against mainstream venues.
Oscar-nominated Sir Ian, who is gay, said: "It sounds extraordinary. It shouldn't be on a form. It's quite inappropriate."
Redgrave said: "Everyone should put down 'trisexual', whoever you are.
Britain has become the world's leading population of trisexuals."
They were joined in their condemnation by Christopher Hampton, whose adaptation of God of Carnage, starring Ralph Fiennes, has just opened at the Gielgud Theatre. He said: "It's bureaucracy and political correctness gone mad."
The application form notes that the question is for government purposes only and will not enter into the grant decision, but that claim was contradicted by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
Its spokesman said: "We appreciate that, as a responsible public body they need to monitor their overall grant-making programmes. But it is absolutely not the case that sexual orientation monitoring is a government requirement."
Condemnation of the question spanned the arts. Julian Spalding, the former director of galleries and museums in Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow, said: "I can't see what relevance it's got. It's a horrible invasion into one's personal and private life." He added: "What they like to do in bed is not the Arts Council's business."
The Arts Council has defended its decision to ask grant applicants to state their sexuality on application forms after the policy was ridiculed by stars such as Sir Ian McKellen and Vanessa Redgrave.
Yes, this is major moonbattery. Hello, it's the thee-ate-ah ... where the percentage of "other than hetero" is roughly 5 times greater than almost all other occupational groups. No kidding. So who cares? Shows can be good or bad whether written/produced/choreographed/acted in by people of any sexual orientation. I don't think that aspect matters a whit.

Police sniffer dogs may wear bootees to avoid offending Muslims
I JUST THIS VERY SECOND MINUTE TRIPPED OVER THIS STORY. JUST WHEN I THOUGHT LAST WEEKS POST ABOUT DOGS AND MUSLIMS WAS AS DUMB AS IT COULD POSSIBLY GET .............
ALONG COMES THIS!
SO HERE WE GD GO AGAIN. DAMN IT. ARE THE AUTHORITIES OUT THERE LOOKING FOR ANY TINY LITTLE THING THAT IS GOING TO OFFEND SOME MINORITY THAT SHOULDN'T BE HERE ANYWAY? AND CAN I BE ARRESTED FOR SUGGESTING THAT? JEEEEEZZZZ. THIS PLACE IS STARK RAVING FREEKIN MAD. MAD I TELL YA.
note to Drew. Can we keep this on top for Monday somehow? Unless there something even more stupidly bizarre out there. But surely there can't be. This HAS to be the ultimate. Right?
Last Updated: 3:00PM BST 06/07/2008
Police sniffer dogs may be forced to wear bootees when entering mosques and Muslims' homes to avoid causing offence.
In a bid to respect cultural sensitivities, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) is considering the move while drawing up new guidelines on the use of police dogs.
Many Muslims refuse to have direct contact with the animals, which are considered "unclean" in Islamic culture.
An ACPO spokeswoman said current guidelines were being re-drafted, but the suggestion that police dogs wear bootees had not been ruled in or out.
"Where possible the police will take cultural sensitivities into account, providing this does not interfere with effective operational policing," she said.
The suggestion comes after a police force apologised to Islamic leaders after a police advert featured a puppy sitting in an officer's hat.

FARGO, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Four first half turnovers killed the early momentum and Jamestown fell to Shanley 21-14 in the Class AA semifinals. Shanley moves onto the Dakota Bowl where they will again meet St. Mary's.
Jamestown got on the board first when Tommy Falk found Jeremy Williams for a 44-yard touchdown on their first drive of the game. The Jays defense forced a three-and-out on the ensuing drive and momentum was on their side.
But on the first down play from their own 45-yard line, Chris Erickson fumbled and Shanley recovered. The Deacons marched in to tie the game.
Williams fumbled on the following kick-off, but Shanley wasn't able to turn it into points. However, the Jays would give them another shot. Erickson fumbled on the second play from scrimmage and the Deacons took over at the Jays 21.
It was three fumbles in four touches. Jamestown had only fumbled three times all year coming into Saturday.
Cade Busek capped that drive with his second of three one-yard touchdown runs to put Shanley up 14-7 into half. Falk threw a pick in the end zone in the final minute of the half.
Shanley scored again in the second half to make it 21-7. Another Busek one-yard run.
Jamestown finally broke through in the final quarter with 3:04 left when Falk found Ethan McKenney for a 27-yard score. The Jays defense held and got the ball back just a few seconds later.
However, the Jays weren't able to move the ball at all, losing three yards, and Shanley was able to kneel away the final minute.


From all of us here at Motive Means Opportunity, we hope you and yours enjoy the Holiday Season! We'll be back on January 2, 2017. Hope to see you then!
Before we break for the Holiday Season, a couple of messages!
Support your friendly authors at MMO–you won't be sorry!
Our good friend and supporter, Kristen Twardowski, has just released her first Crime/Thriller novel, When We Go Missing. You can grab a copy here: http://amzn.to/2h7HBOe Don't pass this one up, folks–it's a doozy!
Hiiiii-hiiii! Bobbbbb! Roberto, my master, my revered keeper, giant under the humans, welcome on my humble prairie! Ay ay ayaaaaaaa ayaaazayayaya, Roberto! What do you think about my little Spanish dance, o master? I may be an Arabian purebred, but I know my Spanish dances.
What herbs have you eaten this morning, you four-legged female fawner? A giant under the humans, huh? I'm five feet seven inches. And your Spanish drawl resembles a drunken Mexican, yodeling to the full moon.
Today is the day that I can officially say that I published a book. When We GoMissing, my debut novel, is live and available for purchase in print and e-book form on Amazon. (The e-book version is also in Kindle Unlimited, so if you are a member, you can grab it for free!) When We Go Missing is a psychological thriller that explores women who vanish and what society does with those disappearances. If you are traveling in the next few weeks or simply want a fast-paced read, you should check it out.
Thank you all for following along on this journey. I have very much appreciated your support as I have written, edited, and rewritten (and rewritten, and rewritten, and rewritten) this novel.
I believe writing novels is half craft and half art. The craft part includes mastering using the language – grammar, word usage, sentence structure etc. Plus an author has to understand the basics of effective storytelling, which covers a lot of ground. Knowing what a hook is and how to craft one, an acquaintance with basic plot structure, control of point of view – those are all skills that anyone can learn and an author must master.
The artistry of writing is harder to define and probably impossible to master. Even authors I consider very good, if not excellent, say that they're always striving to do better with each book. There is no way you can ever say you've got it completely figured out and there's nothing more to learn.
As I hinted several weeks ago, I am beginning an interview series with editors, marketing folks, designers, writers, and other people in the books industry. It is with great excitement that I present the inaugural post in this series with the brilliant Alison Hennessey, Editorial Director of Bloomsbury's Raven Books. She provides some great insight into what it takes to publish thrillers, suspense novels, and international literature and offers some exhilarating upcoming publications to keep an eye on.
This is the story of two sleuths – Professor Lizzie Stuart and Police Detective Hannah McCabe — and the men in their lives. Or, not.
With the good news that my Lizzie Stuart books may soon be available again, I have started writing the sixth book in the series. Lizzie is a crime historian. She is the director of the Institute for the Study of Southern Crime and Culture. She was last seen in a short story (EQMM, July 2014).

Align Capital Partners Expands Its Dallas Team
by Align Capital Partners | Sep 5, 2017 | Uncategorized
Align Capital Partners ("ACP") announced the addition of two new team members to its Dallas office. ACP, a growth-oriented private equity firm that targets control investments in lower middle market companies, closed its $325 million inaugural private equity investment fund in 2016. Today, ACP has two portfolio companies and is actively looking for additional B2B focused investment opportunities.
Joining ACP's Dallas office are Matt Iodice, Vice President and Maseel Mir, Director of Finance and Chief Compliance Officer. With these new hires, the team at Align Capital Partners now totals 12 individuals.
Matt Iodice, Vice President, joined ACP upon graduating from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. Prior to business school, Matt spent three years at Saw Mill Capital, a middle market private equity firm that acquires manufacturing, industrial services, and specialty distribution businesses. While at Saw Mill, Matt identified and executed new investment opportunities, performed transactional due diligence, and partnered with senior management teams to develop, implement, and monitor strategic growth initiatives. Prior to his tenure at Saw Mill, Matt was an investment banker at Harris Williams & Co. Matt earned a B.B.A. in Finance, Investment and Banking from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Maseel Mir, Director of Finance and Chief Compliance Officer, joined ACP from TPG Capital where he spent over three years in the Business Unit Finance group. During his tenure at TPG, Maseel worked on the Capital and Growth platforms where he coordinated with deal teams, legal, tax, and other departments to expeditiously close transactions. Maseel was also responsible for managing the accounting of multi-billion dollar funds at TPG. Prior to joining TPG, Maseel was an Associate Director at Point 72 Asset Management (formerly known as SAC Capital). Earlier in his career, Maseel also worked at the Royal Bank of Scotland and KPMG. Maseel is a Certified Public Accountant and has earned a B.B.A. and a Master of Science in Accounting, both from James Madison University.
"We are thrilled to have Matt and Maseel join the Align Capital Partners team. They both bring very relevant experience to our platform and have already begun making their mark at ACP," said Dallas-based Managing Partner and Co-Founder Rob Langley.
ACP Job Posting – Pre-MBA Associate in Cleveland Office


Whether it's your first purchase … or you are buying your tenth home, finding and financing your new home is an exciting, although sometimes scary, experience. I'll guide you every step of the way, helping you to stay focused on what you really need, listening carefully to your concerns, answering all your questions, and making sure that the road to the final closing is an enjoyable journey for you and your family.
I will give you plenty of concrete information about the neighborhoods that interest you … from the percentage that housing values appreciated last year to the quality of the schools and the proximity of churches, shopping areas, medical facilities and recreational outlets. And I can help you help prevent the experience from becoming overwhelming or even disappointing.
You can find out the answer to this as well as enhance your buying power by getting Pre-Approved or Pre-Qualified. What's the difference?
Pre-Qualification is an informal discussion between you and the lender. The lender estimates the amount that you can borrow based solely on what you tell them about your income and assets. The information you give the lender is not verified by them and therefore, there is no guarantee that you will be approved by them for the loan amount. However, it will give you and your realtor a good idea of what your general price range probably is.
Pre-Approval requires that the lender verify your financial information and serves as a commitment to lend a specified amount based on that verified information. This gives you significant buying power with a seller who recognizes that you will be approved for a loan. If a seller knows that your financing is secure, your offer is stronger.

Akayev: We Do Democracy the Kyrgyz Way
Erdin Beshimov October 18, 2004
The path of many Central Asian states from crumbling Soviet control to democracy has been littered with problems.

Nevertheless, Central Asian officials like Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev, respond to...

Central Asia: Corruption, Lack of Vision Seen as Stunting Economic Growth
Andrew Tully October 11, 2004
Since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Central Asia has remained solidly in the hinterland of economic globalization. The region has seen little of the boom experienced by its behemoth neighbors India and China. A recent forum, "Central Asia in the Global Economy," brought together government officials and representatives of the business world to discuss...
Shanghai Cooperation Organization Signs Agreement in Bishkek
Valentinas Mite September 25, 2004
Since the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan, the Bush administration's strategic interest in Central Asia has grown significantly.

Yet the growing influence of the US in Central Asia has alarmed Russia and China, who consider the region their backyard. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO),...

A compelling story of three women and a beautiful reminder of the preciousness of family, The Charm Bracelet is a keepsake you'll cherish long after the final page.
I really enjoyed this family story- it was sweet (maybe a bit sappy at times) but it's my kind of book. The stories of the family. The little secrets. The traditions.
-The stories behind the charms. I did not grow up in a "sentimental" family. I try to keep things like this or purchase things to remind me of places, but my mom is not of that spirit. It was nice to see how the charms brought the family together.
As I was reading this, I kept thinking of it as a cross between The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and Hope Floats. In fact, Lolly had me thinking of the mom from Hope Floats each time I would read a section of hers.
All in all, it was a lovely story!
Recommended for fans of women's fiction or for people wanting to read a "light" story.
Quinn Collins wakes up one morning after being out for too long one night. She's not alone in her bed. And she's disturbed about the sound of an alarm clock. After her friend leaves, she goes walking through the apartment to see why Esther is letting the alarm beep at a too early to get up hour.
It's soon apparent that Quinn is the only person in the apartment. So, where is Esther?

Monday Climate News: Good and Bad
Posted by Steven D | Jun 21, 2010 | Environment | 6 |
First, you may not remember the accusations in the UK press back in January that the 2007 IPCC Report had lied about misrepresented the facts regarding the die back of the Amazon tropical rain forest by Jonathan Leake of the Sunday Times often referred to as Amazongate (original Times' article no longer appears on its website but here's a copy), but a number of people misquoted in the article did. And one of the major researchers, Simon Lewis, who was misquoted sued The Timesfor claiming that he claimed the IPCC statements in its 2007 report about the Amazon were grossly in error.
Well, now the Sunday Times has been forced to retract its original story (via Real Climate) and admit that it was its reporting, and not the original research or the statement about it in the 2007 IPCC Climate Assessment, which was grossly in error:
The article "UN climate panel shamed by bogus rainforest claim" (News, Jan 31) stated that the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report had included an "unsubstantiated claim" that up to 40% of the Amazon rainforest could be sensitive to future changes in rainfall. The IPCC had referenced the claim to a report prepared for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) by Andrew Rowell and Peter Moore, whom the article described as "green campaigners" with "little scientific expertise." The article also stated that the authors' research had been based on a scientific paper that dealt with the impact of human activity rather than climate change.
In fact, the IPCC's Amazon statement is supported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence. In the case of the WWF report, the figure had, in error, not been referenced, but was based on research by the respected Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) which did relate to the impact of climate change. We also understand and accept that Mr Rowell is an experienced environmental journalist and that Dr Moore is an expert in forest management, and apologise for any suggestion to the contrary.
The article also quoted criticism of the IPCC's use of the WWF report by Dr Simon Lewis, a Royal Society research fellow at the University of Leeds and leading specialist in tropical forest ecology. We accept that, in his quoted remarks, Dr Lewis was making the general point that both the IPCC and WWF should have cited the appropriate peer-reviewed scientific research literature. As he made clear to us at the time, including by sending us some of the research literature, Dr Lewis does not dispute the scientific basis for both the IPCC and the WWF reports' statements on the potential vulnerability of the Amazon rainforest to droughts caused by climate change.
In addition, the article stated that Dr Lewis' concern at the IPCC's use of reports by environmental campaign groups related to the prospect of those reports being biased in their conclusions. We accept that Dr Lewis holds no such view – rather, he was concerned that the use of non-peer-reviewed sources risks creating the perception of bias and unnecessary controversy, which is unhelpful in advancing the public's understanding of the science of climate change. A version of our article that had been checked with Dr Lewis underwent significant late editing and so did not give a fair or accurate account of his views on these points. We apologise for this.
[emphasis addded]
It's nice to see that the Times is being forced to retract these baseless attacks on the legitimacy of the IPCC's 2007 Report, as well as own up to the shoddy reporting by Mr. Leake.
One other German newspaper recently had to retract a similar "bogus" story regarding claims in the 2007 IPCC report that alleged that comments in the report on the potential effect of man made climate change of African crop yields was not legitimately sourced. (For a discussion of this ginned up controversy labeled "Africagate" by the same Jonathan Leakes in a different Times' article go to this post by Real Climate).
Unfortunately, because of the original barrage of phony stories in the media, including the ones which misrepresented the contents of the hacked emails from the University of East Anglia's Hadley Climate Research Unit, known as Climategate, a large portion of the British public has gone from accepting the claims of legitimate scientists to believing the arguments of those who, with little if any basis in fact, deny climate change is real and primarily caused by the actions of human beings.
No matter that every investigation of the Climategate emails has vindicated the scientists involved, and more importantly the validity of their research on climate change. The damage to the reputations of these scientists and to the massive amount of data and research that supports their peer reviewed conclusions has been done.
It is because of propaganda and disinformation spread by climate change "skeptics" that we continue to do little if anything to limit our dependence on burning fossil fuels. And as we have all seen in the Gulf of Mexico that "addiction" can have profound and immediate consequences as oil companies around the globe continue to conduct ever more risky drilling and extraction procedures in search of profits from their "product."
And now for my second story, one that should come as no surprise to the people of Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Rhode Island and Oklahoma: massive flooding in southern China from torrential rains that began last week has killed 175 people and left nearly a million people homeless:
Huge floods in southern China have killed at least 175 people and displaced 800,000, the government said today as the annual storm season picked up ferocity. Around 107 people are still missing amid torrential rains which began a week ago. Local media showed images of people abandoning their homes in rubber dinghies in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, one of the worst-hit areas. […]
More than 10 million people have lost property, been injured or suffered a cut in power or water supplies as a result of the rain across Guangdong, Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Sichuan.
Many of these areas have gone from one extreme to another, according to the government. Earlier this year, south-east China endured its worst drought in living memory, but in the past week, some places have been inundated with three times the average rain for this period. […]
Southern China experiences flooding almost every summer, but the Beijing climate centre says extreme weather events have increased in recent years, with droughts becoming longer and rain falling in more intense and damaging bursts.
Of course it goes without saying that climate scientists have been predicting that more severe weather events such as increased droughts and heavy rainfall events would be a consequence of global climate change for quite some time. That they are happening sooner and with more frequency than scientists had expected earlier in the decade should be setting off alarm bells in every Capitol in the world:
A US report commissioned by the Bush Administration in 2007 and released in 2009 warned that the United States would see greater incidences of severe weather and heavier rainfall. The report, which looked at the US regionally, predicted that more precipitation in winter and spring in the Midwest would lead to increased flooding. In addition, the report predicted increases in flooding and severe weather for the Southeast.
The report stated that "the amount of rain falling in the heaviest downpours has increased approximately 20 percent on average in the past century, and this trend is very likely to continue, with the largest increases in the wettest places."
At the time of the report's release, Evan Mills, a Berkley scientist and contributor said: "This is the most thorough and up-to-date review ever assembled of climate-change impacts observed to date as well as those anticipated in the future across the United States."
The evidence that climate change is happening and is affecting our lives on a daily basis is everywhere, from severe droughts, increases in severe wild fires and now extreme precipitation events such as have occurred this Winter and this Spring in the United States. And NOAA has already reported that the temperature record for the first five months of 2010 are the warmest on record:
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for May, March-May (Northern Hemisphere spring-Southern Hemisphere autumn), and the period January-May according to NOAA. Worldwide average land surface temperature for May and March-May was the warmest on record while the global ocean surface temperatures for both May and March-May were second warmest on record, behind 1998.
That would put 2010 well on track for being the warmest year on record, immediately the warmest decade (2000-2009) on record. Yet, sadly prospects for a game changing climate change bill passing muster in the House and Senate seems increasingly unlikely.
Members of the Democratic caucus met behind closed doors to discuss various legislative proposals, telling reporters afterward that no single vision has emerged as the way forward. The difficulty is that any policy change needs 60 votes to be approved in the Senate.
"One of the many lessons of the BP disaster is we can't afford to continue business as usual," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after the meeting. Reid, of Nevada, expressed his goal of voting on one bill that addresses both the BP spill and concerns about global warming before recessing in August, adding that "stalling for political purposes" is unacceptable. […]
"Do we have 60 votes to come up with strong global warming legislation? No. I think that's a tragedy," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont. "And why they are rejecting the scientific views of virtually the entire world's community and playing politics with this when the future of the planet is at stake, I just don't understand."
The world is being devastated and our politicians sit like helpless little children. And it is not just in the United States. Despite the warmest year on record for the Southern Hemisphere last year, Australian legislation on climate change also appears unlikely to pass this year which means remedial measures to remove carbon from our global environment continue to be delayed by a lack of political will from politicians around the world:
May 21 (Bloomberg) — Carbon Conscious Ltd., an Australian company that plants gum-trees to absorb greenhouse gas emissions, said demand from customers for forests has stalled after the nation shelved climate-change laws. […]
[Prime Minister] Rudd's legislation to cut emissions by at least 5 percent was blocked in the Senate by the Greens party and the Liberal- National coalition last year, creating a possible trigger for an early election.
The government's climate plan would have taxed companies with high emissions like energy, steel and cement makers and offset the charges with free emissions permits and financial compensation.
"It doesn't make a lot of sense that to achieve a unilateral 5 percent cut in greenhouse emissions, the government is now waiting to assess commitments from other nations before moving ahead with its domestic carbon-trading scheme, which it has acknowledged is the best policy," New Energy Finance's Henbest said.
Indeed, the climate skeptic lobby has begun to join forces with creationists and religious fundamentalists to mount a coordinated attack on science in general, from evolution, to the Big Bang theory to climate change. In short we are a nation under siege by people with an agenda to make "science" itself the enemy in order to further the political agenda:
Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation's classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools. {…]
The linkage of evolution and global warming is partly a legal strategy: courts have found that singling out evolution for criticism in public schools is a violation of the separation of church and state. By insisting that global warming also be debated, deniers of evolution can argue that they are simply championing academic freedom in general.
Yet they are also capitalizing on rising public resistance in some quarters to accepting the science of global warming, particularly among political conservatives who oppose efforts to rein in emissions of greenhouse gases.
In South Dakota, a resolution calling for the "balanced teaching of global warming in public schools" passed the Legislature this week. […]
Lawrence M. Krauss, a physicist who directs the Origins Initiative at Arizona State University and has spoken against efforts to water down the teaching of evolution to school boards in Texas and Ohio, described the move toward climate-change skepticism as a predictable offshoot of creationism.
"Wherever there is a battle over evolution now," he said, "there is a secondary battle to diminish other hot-button issues like Big Bang and, increasingly, climate change. It is all about casting doubt on the veracity of science — to say it is just one view of the world, just another story, no better or more valid than fundamentalism."
For now, the Climate Denialist industry is winning the public relations propaganda war, and all the facts in the world that fly in the face of their disinformation campaign that is unlikely to change that anytime soon.

"The world is being devastated and our politicians sit like helpless little children."
Actually, the world is being devastated and our.. Republican (and Blue Dog Democrat) politicians are throwing tantrums, lying and screaming like little children in their resistance to actually doing something about it.
Remember when the Times was renowned for its incredible fact checking department? How could they have sunk so far? How hard could it be for the "reporter" to check the sources instead of just parroting some PR placement? An obscure "apology" is not nearly enough. The "reporter" should be out of a job as of now, and perhaps the subject of a criminal investigation as part of a conspiracy to defraud on behalf of special economic interests.

– One very important element to think about in purchasing a Bengal cat is its actual price. But if you want a Bengal into your home, you should really well know it is a rare breed. With rarity comes the high cost, so you should anticipate that a Bengal cat could cost from 500 USD to approximately 5,000 USD, based on what Bengal caliber you would like.
Pet quality Bengals cost 500-1,000 USD while a breeder or show quality Bengal might cost from 1,500-5,000 USD (reveal Bengals could be more expensive depending upon the breeder).
The cost of the breeder cat food varies from time to time, based on the purchase price of raw materials. You need to keep yourself updated with all the cost variations in the community grocery store.
Vet care and vaccines should be considered too. Work with your vet to find the payment methods that you could avail of (health insurance). This might also have potential emergency care, hospitalization, nutritional supplements, and other medications. This is a really important element in determining how far a Bengal could cost. Vaccinations cost 50-70 USD, whilst flea and de-worming medications cost 20 USD.
Insuring your Bengal cat could really help you from the entire medical cost to becoming you reunited with your Bengal (if ever you lost it). Adding this in your Bengal budget is a must.
The sum of money needed in acquiring a Bengal cat also depends upon where you're going to get your own Bengal. In case you decide to get your cat from a respectable breeder, you ought to be preparing a bigger amount. But if you're likely to receive your Bengal cat from a rescue centre, it will only cost you much less since you'll be adopting the cat. Regardless, you still need to think about the expenses in keeping your Bengal cat.

Consider Putting Recipients' Pandemic Relief Payments in an ABLE Account
Like millions of other Americans, recipients of Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) have received or should soon receive a one-time $1,200 coronavirus relief payments from the federal government. And, if Congress can come to an agreement, a second round of economic impact payments will be coming. (If you haven't received your payment and did not file a 2019 tax return, click here to access the IRS's page for non-filers.)
Although this money does not immediately affect eligibility for means-tested programs like Medicaid and SSI, if the money is not spent within 12 months it will count as an asset and could affect eligibility.
One solution is to put the funds in an Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) account, where it can remain without affecting eligibility for programs like Medicaid and SSI. Authorized by Congress in 2014, ABLE accounts are a tax-advantaged way to put money aside for dependents with disabilities. Funds in the accounts can be spent on a wide range of disability-related expenses without compromising eligibility for government benefits. Unlike a special needs trust, an ABLE account can be managed and controlled by the beneficiary.
Not everyone with a disability can qualify for an ABLE account, however. Eligibility is limited to people who developed their disability before age 26. Also, total contributions to ABLE accounts are limited to $15,000 per year, although beneficiaries who work can make ABLE contributions above the $15,000 annual cap from their own income up to the Federal Poverty Level. If the value of the account exceeds $100,000, any SSI income is suspended until the account dips below that limit. These savings plans may be used for a broad array of products and services related to the eligible individual's disability.
For help opening or investing in an ABLE account, please give us a call.
$2 Trillion Stimulus Bill Gets Mixed Reviews from Disability Advocates
Despite being more than 500 pages long, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act contains little relief specifically targeted to support people with disabilities, disability advocates assert. And one provision in the bill could actually jeopardize the rights of special education students during the pandemic.
"This is an unprecedented crisis for everyone, and everyone includes people with disabilities and their families," Peter Berns, CEO of The Arc, said in a statement. "While this bill does provide some important support in this pandemic, there are huge risks facing people with disabilities, their families, and the direct support professional workforce that were largely ignored in this response."
On the plus side, the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill entitles most low- to moderate-income people to a one-time $1,200 stimulus payment, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients (although SSI recipients may have difficulty getting their checks). Unemployment insurance has also been expanded significantly and businesses will be eligible to apply for loans incentivizing them to avoid firing workers.
However, despite extensive advocacy from disability rights groups, the bill includes no new money for Medicaid-funded home and community based services. These programs are critical to keep the elderly and disabled from having to enter institutions like nursing homes, which continue to be a primary source of COVID-19 outbreaks.
Disability advocates, however, did receive a key temporary victory with a funding extension through November for the Money Follows the Person program, the federal government's largest grant program for helping states transfer people with disabilities from institutions into independent living arrangements.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has also received $12 billion in funding that could potentially assist people with disabilities, many of whom live in units subsidized by HUD, such as Section 8 housing. Landlords participating in these programs were ordered to suspend evictions.
The special education community has particular concerns as well. Under the bill, Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has 30 days to submit recommendations to Congress to waive certain requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This law, passed in 1975, affords nearly seven million students the right to individualized instruction and other support services. With schools shifting instruction online during the pandemic, DeVos could relieve school districts of their obligation to meet the special education needs of students with disabilities. However, unlike the case with earlier versions of the bill, DeVos would need to obtain congressional approval before issuing any such waivers, which would be unprecedented in the IDEA's 45-year history.

My friend from Delhi called up frantically to say that there is a spread of Dengue there. And patients are asking what to eat so that they get recovered very soon.
So I thought why not give a list of food diet you can include which help combat the symptoms.
1. Orange – is a store house of Vitamin C and full of nutrients and vitamins. The High fiber content helps in combating indigestion.
2. Papaya – Crush a few papaya leaves and strain out the juice. It has been said it triggers faster production of Platelets in blood.
3. Avoid Oily Food – As it is difficult to digest it is better to be avoided.
4. Ginger tea – Ginger has antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties which help in reducing symptoms.
5. Coconut Water – is a natural source of electrolytes and essential minerals. Drinking it will help regulate fluid levels in the body.
6. Vegetable Juices – like Cucumber, Carrot, and other leafy vegetables have plenty of essential minerals and vitamins which boost immunity.
7. Soups – Vegetable soups induce hunger and relieve joint pains.
