Ben Swan's campaign kicks off/ Mayor should hide his head | | 2008-06-20 08:44:30 | | My sister and I went down to the Keg Room late Thursday afternoon to go to Ben's first fundraiser of the season. I'd call it a successful event-- maybe a hundred people, a minimum of speeches, and enough food to keep people happy.I ran into Juan Gerena, director of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, and we chatted for a while. I told him I thought it was a good move to cancel the Puerto Rican Festival this year. He said that if people didn't behave at this year's Puerto Rican parade, it would be the last year for the parade, also."We've got too much other important business to spend our time and energy on a festival right now," he said.Juan asked how come I wasn't at Springfield's legislatively-sponsored hearing about Gov. Patrick's proposed bill for Springfield. (I was in Boston all day for my job.)

| | Shibuya Ward Mayor's Press Release | | 2008-06-19 07:21:00 | | This copy of Shibuya Ward's Mayor was photographed inside the green train on display in front of Shibuya Station. Full text transcript below.Shibuya City Has Put A Train Monument In The Hachiko Square Looking back to the history of Shibuya, the city has developed with its station. It was in 1885, when Shibuya Station came into being as part of the Shinagawa Railway, which is the current Yamanote Line. Later in 1907, Tamagawa Train started its operation and in 1911, Tokyo Tram was extended to Shibuya. In the Showa Era, Toyoko Line was opened in 1927; then Teito Train, current Inokashira Line, in 1933; and in 1938, Subway Ginza Line. Together with the businesses that flourished, Shibuya became a leading terminal station. This train monument was manufactured by Tokyo Kyuko Dentetsu Co. Ltd. in 1954, as its first Type 5000 Lightweight train which was popular in the Toyoko Line. By placing this historical train in the square, we hope that we can pass this monument to our future | | By: Rey Ian\\\\\\\'s Personal Blog | | |
| | Picture the Homeless to put Mayor Bloomberg on trial | | 2008-06-12 17:55:07 | | Got an email today from Picture the Homeless, a New York organization by and for homeless people. They've been extremely frustrated with Mayor Bloomberg's tactics in implementing his Five Year Plan to End Homelessness.Four years of the mayor's five year plan have passed. The chart above is from the city's own records: black being the projected figures and red the actual figures.Picture the Homeless believes Mayor Bloomberg has not been accountable to the homeless community; therefore, they plan to put him on trial before a jury of his homeless peers. The trial will be held Tuesday, June 24, at St. Bartholomew's Church, Park Avenue at 51st St., in the Chapel from 1 to 3:30.At 3:30, a march to deliver the sentence will begin.If you're in or near New York, go and support Picture the Homeless.mmmAtom

Like any red-blooded American teenager, John Tyler Hammons digs rock music, fast cars, video games and...fiscal planning?Apparently so. The AP reports that the University of Oklahoma freshman trounced 70 year-old Hershel McBride to become the mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma, making it the first city in the nation to be governed by a self-admitted gamer. But while he could own any of his peers at Halo 3, the fresh-faced leader is turning his sights on cleaning up the town's politics by establishing an independent ethics commission and locking down campaign finance reporting."I'm sure the (city) council will work with me on these issues," he said. "I campaigned on this, and this is something I intend to push."Tired of the same old political shenanigans, the townsfolk are backing their new man."He doesn't have the baggage. He doesn't owe anybody anything," said cafe owner Gary Armstrong. "It's sort of a fresh start for Muskogee."Best known as | | By: What's Up | | |

After the murder of Philadelphia police Sgt. Steven Liczbinski, Nutter said the NRA "should apologize." At a hearing contesting the legality of five gun-control ordinances signed by Mayor Nutter, he said the NRA and its members are "virtually criminal" for opposing the patently illegal and unconstitutional infringements on Philadelphians' freedoms....(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

| | Seven actions Mayor Sarno could take RIGHT NOW to improve Springfield's environment | | 2008-05-18 10:30:10 | | I know a number of Springfield, MA citizens are tracking the commitments Mayor Domenic Sarno made at his Inaugural Address on January 7. He named his five priorities as increasing public safety, improving our schools, creating jobs and expanding our tax base, maintaining and expanding basic services to Springfield residents, and environmental stewardship.Specifically regarding the environment, Sarno stated:We will designate a municipal official to coordinate and manage our "green" initiatives. We will consider the environmental impact in procuring goods and services. We will critically evaluate our use of energy of all types and institute measures to reduce energy consumption. We will develop and implement smart growth policies that encourage "green" design and sustainable development. And we will look at ways to reduce the city's carbon footprint and to remediate existing environmental issues.More than four months into Sarno's term-- more than one-sixth of the period in which h | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

Ha sido tildada indistintamente de inoportuna, imprudente, absurda, caprichosa, oscura y misteriosa.Triste es que hombres de prestigio incurrieran en la tentación de evaluar superficialmente lo acontecido en Jimaguayú el 11 de mayo de 1873, y censuraran la actitud última del Bayardo.Algunas opiniones, ora transmitidas verbalmente por los propios enjuiciadores, ora reflejadas en la prensa por mediación de terceros, apuntan a que no debe tenerse a Jimaguayú como «la gran contienda», o acción de guerra « | | By: Desde Cuba | | |
| | Boris is the next Mayor of London | | 2008-05-09 17:40:41 | | Boris Johnson is the new Mayor of London, his rivals conceded tonight. The Evening Standard in London is predicting that the Tory MP scored a stunning election victory to end Ken Livingstone's eight-year reign and round off a disastrous 24 hours for the Labour Party. Gordon Brown is sitting in the Downing street flat with his cocoa wondering where it all went wrong. Probably on the day a certain Tony Blair waltzed into his office in the House of Commons for the first time and almost immediately began a cheesy relationship. Gordon's antennae were on the blink that day!So now it is Boris. The liberally-minded libertine-leaning fellow travellers of New Labour think Boris is a buffoon. Far from it. He is a very clear-headed thinker who will be a great asset for London. A character who can play the international stage. Gone will be the nasal drone of Ken Livingstone, a man who has been barely tolerated by the New Labour hierarchy.

The reality, as we learned would be far more troublesome for our communities."It's time for EnCap to simply leave the stage so that North Arlington, along with our sister communities of Rutherford and Lyndhurst can now decide what's best for our residents and homeowners.

| | | | Boris Johnson - tackling crime as the new mayor | | 2008-05-04 08:16:48 | | So Boris Johnson is the new mayor of London. If anything, it is a refreshing change to the years of power Ken Livingstone enjoyed. Or not enjoyed. The Evening Standard went to town in the run-up to the elections, with Andrew Gilligan leading the way on a number of damaging exposes on the mayor. Now it is up to Johnson to get rid of any remaining cobwebs that may remain and settle down in an important term as London Mayor. The Olympics is around the corner, crime has yet to be tackled in any shape or form and those bendy buses look a distant memory. | | By: The Wandsworth Companion | | |

We exchanged pleasantries, and he forced a campaign handbill upon me. He asked me the manner in which i employ myself, and after mentioning that i had taught for Mohawk and McMaster, he tried to bond with me by discussing his past as a teacher of high-school english. We laughed and talked about student life. Despite the fact that in his hand ex-Mayor of Hamilton Larry Di Ianni was holding several of my financial statements along with a notification of an unsolicited offer for a pre-approved mortgage and credit card and a flyer suggesting that now is the season for me to get my roof fixed, the day had started off pleasantly enough.

| | EEUU se propone la mayor reforma financiera desde la gran depresión | | 2008-03-31 10:39:00 | | Henry Paulson, el secretario del Tesoro de Estados Unidos, planea solicitar hoy una profunda reestructuración de la forma en que el gobierno supervisa los mercados financieros. El anuncio culmina una amplia revisión a un sistema de regulación construido por partes desde la Guerra Civil estadounidense, que tuvo lugar entre 1861 y 1865. Si sólo se implementan algunos de los cambios propuestos, equivaldrían a una de las mayores reingenierías del sistema que regula las finanzas estadounidenses. Pero tal desenlace probablemente tardará años y necesita del apoyo de un Congreso que se encuentra cada vez más dividido. Algunos ya empiezan a criticar la reforma por considerar que se inclina demasiado hacia la liberalización. El proceso de revisión empezó a principios del año pasado, antes de la contracción crediticia, y su objetivo inicial era elevar la competitividad de los mercados estadounidenses.

| | Mayor of Simpleton | | 2008-02-29 13:56:00 | | I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE "The Mayor of Simpleton" by XTC. One of the DJs at WBER had a habit of playing this song during his air shift every week. That just happened to coincide with the time I would be driving myself to my violin lesson on the other side of town. The pop-chords would follow me as I winded through the back roads of Irondequoit, singing along.I later found a cassette of Oranges & Lemons at the old Monroe Avenue location for Lakeshore Record Exchange. That tape got nearly worn out. It finally died after a passenger in my car put my box of cassette tapes in the back window, where they baked unnoticed in the summer sun. A sad ending for so many good mix tapes and regularly recorded tapes. | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| | Birmingham Mayor: Let's Raise Taxes to Build a Domed Stadium | | 2007-11-20 00:00:00 | | There are many stories of bad fiscal policy proposals that we often read about and comment here. But there are some stories that just write themselves. From the Associated Press:Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford is getting lots of questions from the Birmingham City Council about his proposed tax hikes and revitalization plans.His proposals include doubling the business license fees and a one percent increase in the sales tax. Langford said the money would help fund a domed stadium, transit system, scholarship programs and police department among other things. Yesterday, the new mayor met with council members to answer questions about his plan.The city council today is expected to set up a series of public hearings before it takes a vote.A taxpayer-funded domed stadium for Birmingham, Alabama? Is Birmingham going to try to lure professional sports teams besides arena football and minor league baseball to an area that has fewer people than Richmond, Virginia?

| | | Albany's Mayor For Life: An Interview With Erastus Corning Biographer Paul Grondahl | | 2007-10-28 14:51:39 | | The topic below was originally posted in my blog, the Intrepid Liberal Journal as well as the Independent Bloggers Alliance, The Peace Tree, The Wild Wild Left and Worldwide Sawdust.Erastus Corning 2nd was elected mayor of Albany, New York eleven times, serving forty-two consecutive years, an unsurpassed tenure in American political history. Even before birth, Corning’s destiny as Albany’s “mayor for life” was scripted. As pillars of the WASP establishment, Corning men were expected to attend Groton and Yale and assume positions of leadership in industry and politics. One could say that the Corning family was noblesse oblige on steroids: an assumption that with wealth, power and prestige come social responsibilities. Yet the noblesse oblige represented by the Cornings had a dark side as their class established an oligarchy in Albany to preserve their status and power.In the 1920s, the financial, institutional and industrial strength represented by the Corning dynasty forged an omnipotent alliance led by a salty tongued Irish working class political boss named Dan O’Connell. This unlikely union of the well bred Corning family and the O’Connell clan of Irish saloonkeepers initially bonded through cock fighting! Eratus’s father Edwin served as Lt. Governor in the late ‘20s and collaborated with O’Connell until poor health forced him to step away from politics.When Edwin Corning died in 1934, Dan O’Connell became a surrogate father for the future mayor. As Albany’s political boss, O’Connell paved the way for Corning to assume the reins and become mayor at the age of thirty-two in 1941. Corning served until he died in 1983. Ironically, this powerful man who battled Thomas Dewey, sparred with Nelson Rockefeller and mentored Mario Cuomo, never enjoyed the power of self-determination.A complex and lonely soul, Corning presided over a fiefdom of cronyism, corruption and stability. He mingled easily with the working class that the O’Connell-Corning | | By: The Peace Tree | | |
| | Masiva celebración del día del adulto mayor en Cauquenes | | 2007-10-21 02:12:22 | | Hace cinco años que la comuna festeja a la tercera edad, participando grupos de zonas rurales y de la misma ciudad. Además se anunció la construcción de la casa del Adulto Mayor.Desde muy tempranas horas de ayer, cerca de mil adultos mayores, de esta comuna, se dieron cita para celebrar su día, en una actividad que el municipio local organiza por quinto año consecutivo.Personas provenientes del sector rural y urbano de Cauquenes se reunieron en el Liceo Antonio Varas, con el fin de compartir una jornada en la que participan en juegos y actividades artísticas.A lo anterior se suman atenciones y orientaciones médicas, que les permitan acceder a programas y beneficios, los que son entregados por parte del personal del Departamento de Salud Municipal de esta comuna.De acuerdo a lo expresado por la alcaldesa subrogante, María del Carmen Pérez,, esta actividad tiene el valor de ser una oportunidad de agradecer el aporte que cada uno de los adultos mayores ha hecho en bien de todos a través de sus labores durante su vida. “Para nosotros –dijo la edil- es una fecha muy importante, lo que queda reflejado en que esta ha sido la actividad que nunca se ha dejado de realizar desde el año 2001”.Casa del Adulto MayorLa autoridad comunal dio a conocer que recientemente se obtuvieron los recursos necesarios para la construcción de la Casa del Adulto Mayor, lo que permitirá a todas las personas de la tercera edad contar con un espacio propio y no arrendado como hasta ahora.La futura construcción tiene un costo estimado de 50 millones de pesos y quedará emplazada en un terreno cedido por el hospital, junto a la actual cede del ARDA en nuestra ciudad.Este masivo encuentro que se desarrolló durante todo el día, se inició con el desayuno y luego los asistentes pudieron disfrutar de números artísticos y participar de competencias en juegos tradicionales como el tejo, “cacho”, brisca y dominó.LluviaLa festiva jornada terminó cerca de las 16:00 horas, un poco antes en relación a otros años, debido a la incesante lluvia que cayó durante gran parte del día de ayer, lo que además mermó en parte de la asistencia, la que durante los últimos encuentros había ido en claro aumento superando las 1.200 personas, aunque este año apenas se acercó al millar.Christian Molina, El Centro / RGFoto: Archivo | | By: Día-Noticias en Cauquenes.tk | | |
