Police say Robert Wagner has declined to be interviewed in its re-opened investigation into his wife Natalie Wood's death, The Associated Press reports.
According to Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, Wagner is the only person who was on the yacht the night Wood drowned in 1981 who has not spoken to authorities as part of the latest investigation, which was re-opened in 2011, "despite repeated requests and attempts."
Blair Berk, an attorney for Wagner and his family, said in a statement that the actor has cooperated with officials and had no new information to add.
"Mr. Wagner has fully cooperated over the last 30 years in the investigation of the accidental drowning of his wife in 1981," Berk said. "Mr. Wagner has been interviewed on multiple occasions by the Los Angeles sheriff's department and answered every single question asked of him by detectives during those interviews."
Wood drowned while she was yachting with Wagner and Christopher Walken. Wagner told investigators at the time that Wood fell off the dock while trying to re-tie a dinghy, and her death was ruled an accidental drowning. In 2011, the boat's captain Dennis Davern co-authored a book implicating Wagner in Wood's death, which led the coroner's office to re-characterize the cause of death as "undetermined," and the case was reopened. The following year, the cause of death on Wood's death certificate was changed from accidental drowning to "drowning and other undetermined factors." Officials also amended the certificate to state that the reasons leading to Wood ending up in the water are "not clearly established." On Monday, the updated coroner's report was released and revealed that the actress might have been assaulted before her drowning.

Since the case has been re-opened, Corina said authorities have interviewed Walken and other actors who knew Wagner and Wood to learn more about their relationship. "Most of the people we've talked to were never talked to 30 years ago," he said. "We've got a lot of new information."
Despite the new information, police have not identified any suspects.

Addressing security throughout product development with agile DevOps
Security tools and processes are more effective and less costly when integrated throughout the development process as opposed to being considered only at the end. We incorporate threat modeling, attack surface analysis, security architecture analysis, and other techniques at early phases of application conception.
Our developers use a "shift-left" approach to security by incorporating tools early on, including security assessments, security testing, and penetration testing. This approach follows industry best practices, including least privilege, failing securely, defense in depth, and separation of privilege.

And her name shall be......
I like to watch craigslist and ebay for machines as you can find good deals if you're patient. Usually I only look at local ebay listings because shipping a sewing machine is both risky and really expensive. However I will have a machine shipped if there is no other way. I bought a Pfaff 360 months ago on ebay that I never even told you about because it arrived broken from extremely negligent packing. It looked fine on the outside but the repair guy finally gave up on it after having it for over two months. He said it would need to be completely broken down and rebuilt costing a small fortune. I ended up leaving it with him in Alabama to be recycled as scrap metal.
Anyway... that was a downer story sorry!
Yesterday the stars lined up and I found my newest machine. The price was staying low due to the overinflated shipping price and it was in Quincy which is about 30 minutes from me.
I paid $31.89
Introducing the Singer 99- (I don't know why the dash but that's just how it is)
I guess a lot of people mistakenly think this is a featherweight because of it's small size. It is small and cute but it's no lightweight by any means. It may be the heaviest home machine I own at this point. What did Singer think people were going to be sewing, bricks?
It's a very pretty straight stitch only machine with reverse. Apparently some of the earlier 99 series did not have reverse stitch. It also uses class 66 drop in bobbins which I find to be a bit of a downer. I know I know, they're supposed to be more convenient but I don't find that to be the case. The bobbin tension is difficult to adjust and I have yet to figure out how to pull the hook for cleaning on the Rocketeer which is also a drop in bobbin. See that little bobbin tension screw in the center of above photo on the right? To get to that you have to angle the screw driver which makes it extremely easy to mess up the slot on the top of the screw. Unlike a lot of people (you know who you are) I adjust my bobbin tension all the time and this system is a PITA.
Something I really enjoy when purchasing old vintage machines is discovering little things here and there which lead me to wonder about the previous owner. This machine had a few oddities. First off the bobbin tension was set so high I could hardly pull the thread out. I don't know what she was sewing but it must have been all puckered seams with the knots pulled to the back side. Pool old gal probably couldn't figure out what she was doing wrong.
A note on the inside of the case still holds true today. I even go a step further by setting my presser foot pressure to the lowest setting AND lowering the foot if I don't plan on using a machine for a while. Unfortunately the pressure foot spring on the 99 had been compressed for too long and needs to be replaced. I tried to stretch it out and the brittle metal literally exploded into tiny pieces. Woops! Hopefully it'll only run me a few dollars.
The light is very pretty on this machine with a glass lens that focuses the light on the machine bed. A nice touch.
Considering the condition of the cord I'm assuming this is a newer 99 series. The Bakelite foot controller says 1950 to me but I'll have to have Singer run the serial number to be sure. It smells like a dusty attic which I enjoy. The case was not covered with dust and the machine was almost perfectly clean. I will admit that I did wax it for the photos.....
You have two options today, the easier to load Picasa slide show for those in a hurry and/or the critically acclaimed animated YouTube slideshow set to music. Personally I've seen them both about a dozen times... I highly recommend the second choice because I think it'll make you smile.

Nice slide show. How 'bout naming her princess due to the fussy tension issue. Let us know how she fits in with the herd/flock.
I LOVE these old black machines. I do ALL (ok 95%) of my sewing on a Singer 201 just for the pleasure. What a great price too.
Personally, I like the drop-in 66, but you're right about the tension screw being hard to get at. Luckily, on a straight stitch machine you don't really have to adjust it once it's set.
GregoryFebruary 27, 2010 at 2:09 PM
Actually I adjust my bobbin tension every time I switch thread weight. If I always used the same thread then you're right, I'd likely leave it alone.
I think I might do a tension adjustment video/tutorial soon to help explain my reasonings.
Wow! That's a beaut!
Surely there must be a 12-step program you can join for this. The first step, of course, is admitting that you have a problem.
Repeat after me: "Hi, My name is Brian, and I'm a vintage sewing machine addict."
If you need a sponsor to report to, I'm there for ya buddy!
huge briansews fanFebruary 27, 2010 at 11:41 PM
Congratulations on a new machine! What a beauty!
I have had three of these old black Singers: a Centennial 201-2, my grandmother's 15-91 (which I had serviced and gifted to my mother for mother's day), and a 192K which is *very* similar to your 99 here and is called a SPARTAN, which I loved, because I thought of those warriors in their leather underpants, etc. Anyway, all of them sewed wonderfully.
The only one I still own is my 201-2. Sadly, there seems to be something wrong with the tension spring (that tiny wisp of metal held down by the screw) and I can't fix it. I wonder if the problem is due to all the tension-adjusting of myself and former owner(s)? I need to get it fixed (I only own three machines and this is one) but my local OSMG seems a bit flaky and odd and I haven't found a good one yet.
There are Singer Yahoo groups you can join - many people there seem to know their stuff. A few of them are terribly arrogant jerks which kind of ruined the experience for me. However, if you find yourself tinkering with this machine a bit, or you end up buying more vintage Singers, it really is a pool of knowledgeable folks.
The YouTube video is like soft core porn...for sewing machines.
And loved the shine, too.
I have one of these, it was my grandmother's and I sewed on it exclusively for 15 years. It doesn't have reverse, but I got really good at slightly lifting the presser foot and moving the fabric back a bit for my own "reverse". the stitch length adjustment is just a screw. I want to pass it on to my niece that sews, but she said the light gets too hot and she burns her hand... eesh. hopefully, one of these days she'll re-think that.
AnonymousMarch 1, 2010 at 12:19 AM
I have one of these cuties - someone gave it to me (: I cleaned it up and had to get a new pedal for mine too - but your will find parts for Singers ubiquitous and inexpensive. I wonder how you like this compared to your Necchi?
I have a 15-91, 201 and I don't know why, but 222k I picked up for a steal. The Singer stitches the most beautiful and easiest rolled hem I have EVER seen. It rolls, presses and stitches all at once and it would be worth having for that alone and using the table to put a serger on when you're not using the Singer - but of course I do use mine a little more than that. I still love my modern Pfaff though.
Hi Brian,
I came across your site, a few months back, looking for some vintage sewing machine oiling info. I too am a vintage machine addict of only 2 years. I have since met a serious fellow addict with literally sixty Singers in her home; you would be amazed! She gave me a vintage 99, and I am working on restoring the cabinet first. I did buy a couple machines from her already though. I have the 99, 15-91, 221 FW, 301, 2-401's, 404, & a couple of "newer" Singers I rarely use. Since I work with Girl Scouts, I can justify my excess collection of beautiful machines. I like the 301 for power, and dropping feed-dog capability. I thought you might like the links to Singers model # reference page for your machine: http://www.singerco.com/pdf/SINGER_AM_nos.pdf. For others dating their Singer machines start here (the links in red are most specific): http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_2letter.html.
Also, I read, at a site in the UK, that the 99 didn't get the "reverse" feature until 1949.
Great machine, I found one for $8 and it does stitches great.
Ooh, what a beauty! I just love these cast iron Singer-machenes!! For me it is the "true" sewingmachenes since it is what I learned to sew on as a kid.
I know you're not in the lookout for more machenes but I can realy recomend the Singer 201K, I'ts basicly the same as the 99- but the bobinthreadtention in adjusted from the top, not from the side.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Recap: Does Anyone Want a 'Stallion Booty'?
Hi, sports fans! I'm filling in for the illustrious Brian Moylan, who is on assignment at Sundance. Despite my unhealthily detailed knowledge of the Real Housewives of New Jersey canon (as a native of the Garden State, it is statistically probable that I'm at least a fourth cousin to the Manzo family), this is the first time I've ever watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I'm excited, as well as a little nervous — I only ask that you be gentle with me, and leave the money on the dresser.
This week's episode begins — as most classic dramas do — at a hair show, where Cynthia Bailey is on judging duty. With Miss Lawrence in tow, Kenya Moore offers a deranged Miss America Miss USA wave to no one in particular from an escalator ("Escalator symbolic of descent into madness?" reads someone's notes for a Contemporary Media Studies paper). Following her fallout with Phaedra Parks over the production of Donkey Booty, Kenya reveals that she plans to release her own butt fitness video. Its title?
Stallion Booty.
Ahem. Naturally, Kenya claims to see nothing strange or inappropriate about this, and makes the case that stallion rears are firmer, rounder, and altogether more desirable than those of donkeys. Team Stallion's detailed taxonomic discussion of equine booty inspired me do some research of my own.
See for yourself: donkey butt versus stallion butt. (Pro tip: learn from my mistakes, and please do not Google any kind of horse private parts at home. The Internet is a terrifying place.) I can't argue that "Mare Booty" has much of a ring to it, but keep in mind that a stallion is definitively male — specifically, an uncastrated male (that is to say: horse balls). Personally, I'm not particularly enthused about the prospect of a donkey or a stallion booty, if only because I prefer my butt without a tail growing out of it.
As The New Normal's production schedule has shifted into gear, I'm afraid we're left with a NeNe Leakes-light episode. A brief highlight: "glam-mother" Nene and Gregg haphazardly attempt to assemble a crib for adorable granddaughter Bri'Asia. I feel a familiar sense of panic about my DIY incompetence that is usually triggered by umlauts and the smell of Swedish meatballs.
Stylist Derek J, who was also at the hair show — what a tangled weave we weave — breaks the booty plagiarism news to Kandi Burruss mid-haircut. Kandi immediately calls Phaedra, who semi-coherently attacks Kenya's "Six Flags Scream Machine Booty, with all those lumps and bumps everywhere." This is not only one of the finest examples of imagery that has ever occurred in the English language, but also an excellent idea for a rollercoaster.
Elsewhere, we find Cynthia in her element: yelling at six-year-olds on a basketball court. She's recruited these kids for Runway Red, a fashion show and fundraiser to support children with HIV, and her modeling advice to them primarily involves walking, stopping, turning around, and walking again.
Phaedra and Apollo bring along their one-year-old son (and aspiring model) Ayden, who — like a normal, human child — refuses to follow directions, and cries. Later, he cries some more. Cynthia expresses her doubts about his future in fashion, but jokes that "at least he was professional and showed up to practice" — this is a plus, considering most of these kids are coked out of their minds right now. Porsha Stewart is also on hand to show her support, cryptically praising one preteen model for "the way she keeps her pelvis forward."
Outside, Phaedra confers with Cynthia and Porsha — who's bonding with Parks over their shared distaste for Kenya. For those of you playing along at home, this tight-lipped, eye contact-free exchange is the third rehashing of the Donkey-Stallion Crisis so far. Phaedra casually suggests that Kenya suffers from alcoholism, and perhaps bipolar disorder. I'd consult my DSM-5, but I'm too distracted by the trio's fake eyelashes, which are collectively long enough to reach the moon if laid end-to-end.
Miss USA Miss Kenya® and Kandi visit Kenya's production designer for help decorating Kandi's daughter's bedroom. Kenya yet again explains her fight with Phaedra over the distribution for Donkey Booty — which is, by the way, the same thing as "Ass Booty," which is in turn the same thing as "Ass Ass." Anyone?
But standing in front of an enormous papier-mâché prop butt — what a coincidence — the ladies grow increasingly shrill. Kandi accuses Kenya of "bootlegging" Phaedra's concept, and Kenya strings together sequences of words with no particular relevance to time and space as we know it. After a few minutes, the camera pulls back to reveal that the production designer has been standing by silently throughout all of this. "I'm going to let you ladies, uh, talk…," he mutters, heading quickly for the door.
Phaedra and Apollo pitch Donkey Booty at a production studio, where she judiciously pimps her friendship with Jane Fonda, the "godmother" (glam-mother?) of all workout videos. The director makes the possibly unforgivable (if delightful) error of calling Phaedra's project "Donkey Butt," but it is to her credit that she does not strike him. Phaedra is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, especially when she describes her post-baby ass transformation — it "sort of spread a little" and "moved in odd places" — with far more anatomically detailed hand gestures than necessary. The producers are interested. Point Phaedra!
Runway Red is a success: a kaleidoscope of cute kids, miniature sparkly accessories, and animal print everything. Even Ayden has been Stockholm Syndrome-d into compliance. Handing him over before the show, Phaedra informs Cynthia that Ayden's s-i-p-p-y-c-u-p is in her p-u-r-s-e. Listen, Bravo: I would pay large sums of money to see Teresa Giudice try to spell things, and I know I'm not the only one.
At the reception that follows, Kenya is in the midst of the episode's 13th Donkey-Stallion recap (this time to NeNe), when who should appear but Phae-Phae herself.If the Real Housewives franchise has taught us anything, it's that fashion shows, fundraisers, and launch parties were all invented as arenas for rich women to confront each other about stupid things. It's on.
But the episode ends not with a bang, but a whimper. After a minute or two of tense grimacing, Apollo lobs an ineffective "copy-cat" in Kenya's general direction. She walks away. Womp womp.
My first trip to Atlanta has been highly enjoyable — I'll definitely tune in next week. (That said, I'm still holding out for The Real Housewives of Georgia, in which a cast of kind-faced elderly women will prepare meat dumplings near the Azerbaijani border.)

I have also merged information from the list of lists above. I get articles from web crawls, #census #statcan #cdnpoli, blogs and what people send.
Pingback from datalibre.ca · Census Actions
Pingback from Mid-week update « CAPDU
Could you please make a small change to the attribution of the list of organizations–it should be Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and add Ms Yalnizyan's e-mail address: email@example.com
Thanks. W.T.Stanbury,Professor Emeritus,UBC
Great list! Thanks for doing the work on this.
Please add the Public Service Alliance of Canada to your list as per this article on our website.
Now let's just hope that the opposition can capitalize on this… Somehow I am not optimistic and still worry that we'll end up with a Harper majority by 2011.
Thanks for the great work. You are welcome to add the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario to the list of organizations against the government's decision on the census.
Please add the "Alberta Professional Planners Institute" to your list of organizations against the census change. Thanks!
Time for Minister Clement to feel the love…
Thankfully, there's still more than one way to be counted in this country. If you're opposed to the Harper government's move to abolish the mandatory long form census, it's time to do something concrete about it:
1. Contact the opposition riding association of your choice in Minister Clement's riding of Parry Sound – Muskoka and make a donation and/or volunteer for the next federal election campaign. Websites below:
Parry Sound – Muskoka Federal Liberal Association
Parry Sound – Muskoka NDP Riding Association
Parry Sound – Muskoka Green Party
2. Send an email message to Minister Clement's riding association (http://conservativeparrysoundmuskoka.com/contact.html ) expressing your opposition to the government's decision to abolish the mandatory long form census, and telling them that you are donating funds and/or your time to help ensure Minister Clement does not return to Ottawa.
Maybe they can talk some sense into him…
Great list! Please add Queer Ontario.
FYI, the Association of Ontario Health Centres (AOHC), representing over 100 Community Health Centres, Aboriginal Health Access Centres and Community Family Health Teams also opposed the census decision.
See: http://www.aohc.org/aohc/index.aspx?ArticleID=454&lang=en-CA
Please add Canadian Alliance of Student Associations to your list
Hi, that's a great service you're doing for Canadians.
You might want to add Warren Kinsella to your list of those who supports the change to the census.
Please add "Citizens Engaging Democracy, Newmarket-Aurora" to the list of organizations AGAINST the government decision. Thanks for your hard work and excellent info resources.
Please add the Canadian Library Association to your list AGAINST the government decision. Their press release and official statement can be found here:
Add pretty much everyone, like me, who's ever worked the census and discovered how open and honest Canadians are when required to share data aimed at improving their lives.
Just updated the info from the comments! thanks bunch. I was away for a couple of days! Sorry for the delay!
Done! thx
Done! thx
added them to the action list – cheers!
Done! cheers
thx al!
Thx scott
Done! cheers.
Thx for sending this.
Please add the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers to the list of organizations AGAINST the Government decision.
Cheers! If you have a link to a letter or statement I will add it too.
Darryl Walker, President of the BC Government and Service Employees' Union, just posted a blog decrying this short-sighted move. Please add to the list of those opposed to this move.
Every five years I dutifully fill out our country's census and I look forward to the results. They tell us where we are as a country and allow governments, stakeholders and average citizens to form opinions and make decisions based on reliable data about our current situation.
Since the federal government announced their intention to scrap the long-form census, statisticians across the country and across the world are up in arms about a move that they say will render our once-revered statistical data extremely unreliable.
But Minister Tony Clement says that the long form is too intrusive and that Canadians should not be threatened with jail time for not wanting to divulge things like how long they spend doing housework or when they leave for work in the morning. In reality, no one has ever gone to jail for not filling out the census. And the data that is collected, as unnecessarily detailed as some of it may seem, is used for important policy decisions at all levels of government.
This decision is clearly ideologically based. While trying to pander to a small group of right-wingers, Harper is striking a critical blow towards policymakers' ability to develop and deliver effective social programs.
At the same time, the loss of reliable statistical data will make it much more difficult for stakeholders, like unions and non-profits, to participate in policy discussions in a meaningful way.
The new voluntary survey that the Conservatives have proposed to replace the long-form census does not include questions that previously existed about home care. This undermines the ability of governments to adequately plan for the delivery of home support services.
Worst of all, statisticians argue that replacing the long-form census with an optional survey will mean that key groups, mostly groups that are already marginalized like poor people, new immigrants and people living with disabilities, will be less likely to fill it out and will therefore be even more underrepresented than they already are.
Many BCGEU members work in programs devoted to these underrepresented groups and I worry that without reliable data that lets us know which programs are needed where, that all programs and the people they serve will suffer.
The Province newspaper in BC published an editorial mocking those who opposed this move:
Canadian Association of Professional Employees
Please add our organization to the "against" list. We rely on the stats can information to ensure our programs are meeting the diverse needs of our community. Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre
Please update your link under the Canada West Foundation entry in the "against" list to the following URL, which is a more complete description of our position.
Just did!
Having equal access to data is a fundamental requirement in order to make sound analysis and relative comparison.
Hi Tracey,
I just wanted to reiterate the stance of the BCGEU and our President: as noted above, we are opposed to this move. Can you add us to the list above? And add the Province newspaper to those in favour.
done! Thanks Brenton,
In Canada there is a polarization on the subject of the mandatory census. People "for " the census speak of the need for the data and it's value in formulating smart government policy. People "against" the decision talk of their rights and coercion, and does a group have the right to demand an individual answer questions about their life against their will, under threat of fine and jail.
So what's more important, the group/state/country/collective or the rights of the individual? Hasn't this question been played out countless times over the centuries around the world? How was this question settled? I guess it depends which country you live in. Some countries certainly protect the rights of the individual over the right of the group a lot better than others.
If you study sociology or anthropology or philosophy, it is easy to identify these concepts in other populations/countries/ historical periods, but every population and individual is blind to these concepts in their own group. What do you do when the truth of your group conflicts with the truth of an individual?
"StatsCan does great work for Canada." (Truth for our group/Country/population.)
"I'll ask the economists, politicians, and government agencies to keep their unwanted, uncomfortable questions off of me." (Truth for the single mother who feels uncomfortable with the questions the census informs her she must answer, and refuses to answer)
Hence this debate, because the existence of people who don't answer the census questions, or answer them incorrectly, or write "object to question" for the reply poses an inconvenient truth for the group ("us Canadians").
In fact, if you look at census data from all countries, including Canada, there are a significant number of respondents who mark some answers as "object to question". Many others answer some questions in obviously incorrect ways which are understood but are not counted (eg. marking Jedi as their religion). It's not easily known how many people purposely answer incorrectly and have these incorrect answers erroneously counted as accurate by Statistics Canada. Statistical agencies around the world don't like to talk about this problem, because it skews the data and puts the validity of all their work at risk.
Now that the issue has been politicized, we even have some people who are "for" the mandatory census saying that people who object to the questions don't really exist. I'd be careful with that line of thought.
Everyone knows the census provides valuable data. No one is saying the data is not. You won't win the argument by listing the hundreds of groups and organizations who want and need this data, unless you deal with why coercion of individuals to get this data is acceptable in this case.
Is the following acceptable?
Single Mother: "I feel uncomfortable with you and your questions. Please stop contacting me and leave me alone. I feel you are harassing me and I'm asking you to please stop. I know my rights."
StatsCan worker: "We don't care how you feel, you must answer our questions about your life. I am doing nothing wrong, this is my job. You are the one breaking the law and we can fine you or put you in jail for your behaviour. We will keep contacting you. We will keep coming by your home. We have your name and we have taken a description of you. We want much more information than you have provided and you are being uncooperative. There is nothing you can do about this. You are wrong and you do not have any rights in this situation." (Truth for the statscan worker who has a quota to reach, and is dealing with uncooperative, unhelpful, anti-government people who are purposely not answering these mandatory census questions properly.)
The standard in the western world for data collection from individuals is informed consent, (with the one and only exception of the mandatory census). Maybe it's time to look at this issue and have a real debate about the issues.
This really long list of the people and groups who use and need this data and support the mandatory census is also a list of people who are for coercion and don't believe in informed consent.
Thanks Chantal.
Citizens have to pay taxes, not idle in their cars in the summer heat, send their kids to school, present a health card when they go to the hospital, or need a license to do a whole host of things. It is a fair trade in a democratic society, or else, we have no money to manage the nation, we get more carbon in the air that affects respiratory health, kids will not get the tools they and we need to be good and informed citizens, any one can just travel to Canada to use the health care system, or well, the roads would be crazy if we let unlicensed drivers on the road. We live in a collective, and to better direct and strategically spend, we need good data, a mandatory census ensures good data. Those on the list understand that citizenship in a democracy has tradeoffs, and the mandatory long form census is one of them.
Statistics Canada, when they do their follow-up on the census, are pretty great at informing people why they are asking those questions and how they use the data. For the single parent, it means understanding time limitations, the need for childcare, perhaps income supplements, social and recreational programs at a fair price in her neighbourhood. Information helps make decisions on a variety of things that improve our lives. A few minutes of annoyance is worth the return.

Border Apprehensions Down. Will Our Politicians Notice?
Apprehensions along America's southwest border have plunged in the past decade. Although there have been plenty of stories about it this week, our politicians have yet to grasp this important fact.
From a peak in 2000, the annual number of arrests along our 2,000 mile border with Mexico has plunged by more than 75 percent. Apprehensions are considered a good although imperfect proxy for attempted border crossings. By any measure, the number of people trying to enter the United States illegally between ports of entry has dropped to its lowest level since comparable records began 40 years ago.
A few implications that are not being talked about enough by politicians of either party:
- For those who demand that we must "get control of our borders first" before discussing real immigration reform, that excuse is more hollow than ever. Net migration from Mexico right now is "essentially zero," according to Jeffrey Passel of the Pew Hispanic Center. This is a political window of opportunity to change our immigration system.
- Immigration reform should be seen as an essential step in reducing illegal traffic across the border. As I've noted before, when we have expanded legal immigration in the past, illegal immigration has dropped. The best way to control our border is to expand opportunities for workers from Latin America to enter our country legally through established ports of entry.
- We are in no danger of being flooded by low‐skilled immigrants. Yes, beefed up enforcement has played a role in the declining numbers entering illegally, but the economic downturn explains most of the drop off. The Great Recession hit illegal immigrants hard, especially in the construction industry. If the jobs are not available, fewer foreign‐born workers come and more go home.
- Conditions in Mexico are improving. Despite bad press about the drug war, staying home has become relatively more attractive for Mexican workers. Thanks to gradual economic reforms, including trade liberalization and the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Mexican economy has enjoyed stable if unspectacular growth. The middle class is growing and poverty is declining. That growth, in turn, has contributed to a plunge in the Mexican birthrate, to where today it has fallen to replacement level.
We should reform our immigration system now. When the U.S. economy recovers to more normal levels of job creation, we will need immigrant workers more than ever. We should be prepared to welcome them legally rather than wasting resources in a futile effort to "control the border" through enforcement only.

Eaton ACCELL Accessory Smart Dimmer for Eaton AAL06 Multi-Location
The Eaton Cooper ARD companion/accessory dimmer works with your existing AAL06 master dimmer as a slave dimmer to provide additional benefits over a traditional 3-way dimmer configuration. The ARD dimmer matches perfectly with the AAL06 series units, but as a slave dimmer it only has 2 wires and a ground, allowing you to save installation time. The AAL06 and ARD dimmers also have an LED readout displaying current dimming level. Accurate readout will appear on master and all accessory dimmers. The ARD Accessory Dimmer retains all factory features of the AAL06 including low end trim, high end trim, kick start, and delayed-off capabilities.
Please note, this product does nothing by itself and must be used with an existing AAL06 master dimmer. If you only wish to dim in one location, please use the AAL06.

This calculator applies only to low voltage (12 or 24VDC) recessed lights. If you're chooseing 120VAC lights, you can ignore this section as you don't need a power supply. When using low voltage LED recessed lights, a power supply (sometimes called a driver or transformer) is used to provide the LED lights with the low voltage power that they need to run. The power supply connects to standard house current (120VAC) and steps this current down to 12 or 24VDC. In automotive or marine applications, this power can be supplied from a 12vdc or 24vdc battery. The most popular low-voltage choice used by residential and commercial customers is 24VDC, since it is still a safe low voltage and yet it provides more protection against voltage drop, and consumes less current. If you have any questions about sizing your power supply, please don't hesitate to chat live with an LED expert.
Calculator Results
Please make your selections above and press calculate.
Simply round *up* to the nearest power supply size. Remember that it never hurts to go larger with your power supply, but your lights will not operate properly if your power supply is too small. If needed, you can also use multiple power suppliesto meet your consumption requirement.
The minimum power supply size automatically adds 20% to your total consumption to account for voltage drop and in-rush current at startup, also, most inspectors will consider the power supply a current generating device and they won't let you load it over 80% continuous, so the 20% added solves for this as well.

One of nature's most effective moisturizers, shea butter is ultra rich yet gentle, providing deep healing, moisturizing and protection of skin, hair, cuticles and lips. Pré de Provence® is proud to make natural shea butter a key ingredient in these soaps, offering a soothing, softening gift from nature.

In the May issue we discussed closing the sale, but what happens if the customer says "No"? The first step in handling objections is to get used to them. We have to realize that almost everyone says "No," at least at first. The big earners are the ones who don't accept that first "No." Experience shows us that the average person says "Yes" after you have asked him five times to invest in water equipment. That means that if you are making a living by asking only once or twice, you could be making a lot more money. There are some steps to follow that make handling objections much easier.
Step #1: Bypass the Objection
If you have the nerve to try this I know it will add to your success rate. All I am suggesting is that you bypass or ignore the objection the first time you hear it. The principal behind this is the fact that the first thing out of the customer's mouth sounds like an objection, but it is really just an attempt to slow you down. Have you ever seen a politician answer a question by saying, "I'm glad you asked that." What he is really doing is stalling for a couple of seconds to gather his thoughts. The objection is often just an attempt to slow you down. For example, let's say you have asked a closing question and the customer says, "That's a lot of money for a softener." Does this mean they don't want it? They haven't actually said "No," so I suggest that you ignore the objection.
Say something like "Yes it is" or "I understand" and just keep on writing the order. In about 40 percent of the cases, the customer will never bring up the objection again because it wasn't really an objection—but was only a slowing down process—the first thing out of their mouth without thinking. Forty percent of the people will buy even though they gave you an objection if you just ignore it. But what about the 60 percent that really meant it?
What if it was a real objection and the customer says "Now look, you, I said that's too much money and I'm not buying it." I like to just chuckle and say "I'm sorry. Sometimes I get so excited I go a bit fast. Are you saying it's too much money?"
Step #2: Release the Pressure
What do you think customers expect your reaction to be when they say "No"? They expect you to be angry and confrontational. But really you want them to relax and be open to ideas. That's why we suggest you release the pressure. How do you do that? Just start packing up your kit and put your pen away as you mumble about it being too bad the equipment is too much money. Then say something such as, "Before I go, I'd like to ask you one thing off the record." Look at the effect that question and those actions have. The customer assumes you are leaving without a fight. This makes them relax and open up and that is exactly the mood you need them to be in to get the sale.
Step #3: Anything Else?
You cannot solve an objection until you ask if there is anything else. If you try, customers will run you through a gauntlet of multiple objections. You solve one and they have another one ready, so we suggest you ask a question. We will assume for this example that they are not buying because they want to think it over. Use a question something like this: "Before I go, I want to ask you one thing off the record. If it wasn't for the fact that you need to think it over, did you like our equipment? Other than the fact that you want to think it over, is there anything else keeping you from making a decision tonight?" Most customers eagerly reply that it is just that one thing that is keeping them.
We don't have space to get into how to solve specific objections in this article, but we will in future articles. However, look at the position you will be in if you learn to follow these techniques. If you try a bypass, 40 percent of the people will go ahead and buy without raising the objection again. The 60 percent who had a real objection are relaxed because you have released the pressure. The customers have basically told you that if you can solve that one problem, there is nothing keeping them from buying tonight. What a great position to be in! In future articles, we will discuss practical ways to solve common objections and get the sale.

Options 2005 latest
(UPDATED at bottom)
Couple of new comments posted here today from artists who had studio visits scheduled for this weekend with Libby Lumpkin. She's sick and has cancelled. They're not happy. Are the visits cancelled altogether or just postponed?
I'd like to know how many local artists applied and how many of them made it to the studio visit round. Does anybody know of a non-VCU grad that had a visit or had one scheduled?
(L.L. - get well soon)
Relatedly, somebody named marye has left an interesting question/comment on the last Whitney Biennial 2006 post. She(?) doesn't like the idea of submissions at all and thinks that they cloud the curator's job - "to seek out and gather under one roof art of note". What does that mean? It seems to me like so many of them only look at what an institution is paying them to look at.
Case in point: I'm a fan of Ingrid Schaffner's work at the Philadelphia ICA and contacted her last fall when I heard she would be speaking at VCU in October. I invited her to visit my studio while she was in town and she wrote back (nicely) that she wanted to focus her time on the work at VCU. Fair enough, but when I later find out that almost half of the VMFA Professional Fellowship winners are students who had studio visits with Ms. Schaffner (the juror) I want to puke.
Hilarious insider aside: A grad who passed on his visit with Schaffner gave his slot to an undergrad friend. That's the undergrad who won one of the professional fellowships! As far as I can tell, the two grads that didn't have studio visits with Schaffner are the two that didn't win fellowships.
UPDATE 5/20/05: an article on Corcoran problems in today's Washington Post. I don't know if this is related to Ms. Lumpkin's cancelling the visits or not, but it seems commenter former MICA grad was right about the money problems.
RELATED?: Speaking of curators and money and the need for transparency - a Getty Museum senior curator has been indicted in Italy.

Dear Martin,
High ranking contacts of mine at the FAA tell me that her sickness was directly related to the pilot of her Corcoran chartered Cessna 150 being bulldoged by 2 F-16 Fighting Falcons for crossing into resticted air space on approach to Dulles International Airport. I'm further informed that she's opted to return to California under FBI escort aboard Amtrak's Cresent to New Orleans for rest and recovery with an eventual connection aboard the Sunset Limited back to the City of Angels. I'll provide updates on her health as they are cleared by my Newsweek realiable sources!

Dear Kai,
Lies indeed. Well, I think that today's Washington Post explains it all, including Libby's sudden mystery illness. The illness maybe that her contract will be terminated, as well as David Levy's.
I've posted an open letter about the Corcoran on J.T.'s site and DCist.
Martin is to be commended for keeping the light on this matter.
James W. Bailey

Not sure how much I can help you out on this one but I announced a while ago that I was selected for a studio visit by LL. It works out for me because I'm out of town this weekend and would have missed it. Now it is rescheduled for the first weekend in June.
I know of 3 other artists who got studio visits. None of the 4 of us graduated from VCU. And I don't know how many others there are.
We'll see how it goes. I'll post about it after it happens.

Burger Fuel Worldwide, the fast food chain and franchisor, boosted first-half profit 37 percent as sales in its Middle Eastern franchises surged and the local chain took on a new structure. The shares sank 6.5 percent to $1.15.
Net profit rose to $308,000, or 0.57 cents per share, in the six months ended Sept. 30, form $225,000, or 0.42 cents, a year earlier, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Revenue climbed 10 percent to $5.3 million, with Middle Eastern sales climbing 22 percent to $1.49 million. The New Zealand unit lifted revenue 12 percent to $3.87 million.
The company will not pay an interim dividend, preferring to horde capital for expansion.
"Results for this period demonstrate a determined focus to grow company profits, whilst at the same time balancing out the need for further investment into our international expansion," chairman Peter Brook said. "Whilst we are always mindful of returning profits to shareholders by way of dividends, it is essential at this time that we continue investment to support growth and take a long-term view of our business."
In recent years Burger Fuel has increased its exposure to the Middle East by signing master licensing agreements, which earns the company up-front territory fees and on-going royalties based on store turnover.
The fast food chain is focused on breaking into Middle East nations, and is part the Beachheads Global public-private partnership run by New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, which provides tailored mentoring for high-growth local companies.
The company increased system sales 27 percent to $22.1 million. Total system sales represent till takings across all company-owned and franchise stores.
Burger Fuel sold its company-owned Australian store to a franchisee last year, and sees the market as holding large potential in the future.
The tightly-held stock trades infrequently on the NZAX, and has surged 132 percent this year. Today's fall values the company at $61.7 million. When the company went public in 2007 it sold 15 million shares at $1 apiece.

DOVER — Foster's has learned the murder of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott occurred during a sexual encounter.
However, Foster's has been unable to confirm whether the sexual encounter was voluntary or involuntary.
The 19-year-old sophomore was heading to a friend's apartment on Mill Street in Dover the night she disappeared. Family members said she was planning to visit a female friend who she met while working at the Target in Greenland. Family members said the woman lived at the Mill Street apartment with her boyfriend.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's office announced Monday that Marriott was either strangled or suffocated inside the Mill Street apartment.
Dover resident Seth Mazzaglia, a 29-year-old who lived at the Mill Street building, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with Marriott's death.
Mazzaglia operated an account on the dating website OKCupid.com under the username "DarkKaiser."
The same user name was used by a 29-year-old Dover, N.H., man on the website FetLife.com, an online meeting place for bondage and fetish enthusiasts. The profile indicates the user was interested in a "lifetime relationship, a play partner, princess by day, slut by night, a sub."
Marriott's body has not been recovered, but police say they have "credible" information indicating the Westborough, Mass., native is deceased. They have been concentrating the search for her body off the coast of Peirce Island in Portsmouth this week.
U.S. Coast Guard and Marine Patrol boats could be seen from shore much of the day Tuesday, and officials pulled a boot out of the water at approximately 12:30 p.m., though its relation to the case is unknown.
"Today there were as many as four vessels on the water and they employed a State Police cadaver K9 as well," Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said.
Police have also been deploying sonar equipment an underwater camera, Young said. They have yet to set an end date for the search in the Piscataqua River.
"When we met with Marine Patrol (on Monday), the primary area they were looking at, they said they had several more days before they exhausted that area," she said.
She added authorities have also reached out to Massachusetts and Maine officials for surveillance of their shores, in case Marriott's body turns up there.
"It's almost as if we have sort of two investigations going on," she said. "There's the recovery going on, on the water, and then Dover is leading the homicide investigation. They, too, are working tirelessly to gather as much information as they can, to make sure that the appropriate charges are brought against the appropriate person or persons."
Young said she could not comment on additional suspects in the case, or reports that Marriott was planning to visit a female friend on the night of Tuesday, Oct. 9
"The police continue to examine evidence gathered to date," she said. "They continue to talk to numerous individuals, and we will continue, again, to make sure we have all of the information," she said. "And if additional charges against additional people are warranted, they will be brought … We have to see where the evidence takes us."
Young also declined to comment on confirmed reports by Foster's of Marriott's death being tied to a sexual encounter at the Mill Street apartment.
"I'm not saying if any information has come (from Mazzaglia)," she said. "What I've said is based on the rules of professional conduct, we can make no comment on any case -- if somebody has or has not provided a statement."

LAS VEGAS - The thriller "Runner Runner" starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck hasn't even opened yet, but it's already in the center of the fight over online gambling regulation.
The American Gambling Association has bought ads on major websites including Twitter, Facebook and the IMDb movie database framing the film as a "cautionary tale" that points to the need for Congress to legalize online poker. The ads also pop up when people Google the movie's title.
The screenwriters have said their story of a young gambler pulled into the criminal dealings of an offshore poker site was never intended as a political parable. The movie is scheduled to open later Thursday.
The Stop Predatory Gambling Foundation, a national nonprofit, sent a letter to the casino lobby Thursday pointing to the writers' comments, and calling the ads dishonest. The group is demanding that the ads - one of which warns, "sometimes movie villains are real" - be taken down.
National director Les Bernal wrote that there was no reason to think shady offshore operations would disappear if online gambling was legalized in The U.S. and accused the casino lobby of wanting a cut of the illegal operators' business.
"Casino operators now hope to expand another key demographic to their base: young people, especially those of college age, which is why the AGA greedily seized upon `Runner, Runner,'" Bernal wrote.
Internet poker, never fully legal, has been strictly outlawed since 2011, when the Department of Justice seized the domain names of the largest offshore sites catering to U.S. customers and blacked them out.
This crackdown, dubbed "black Friday," left poker fanatics with two options: Get dressed and visit a card room, or break the law and log into an offshore site.
Offshore gambling sites took in roughly $2.6 billion from U.S. players last year, according to Geoff Freeman, president of the association.
More recently, the federal government softened its stance on Internet betting, and three states - New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada - legalized some form of online wagering within their borders.
The gambling lobby, which counts MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment among its members, supports a federal approach. It warns that a patchwork of state laws will be unworkable for corporations and could leave gamblers exposed to dishonest dealings.
The lobby is seizing any opportunity to try to jumpstart stalled federal legislation.
"Washington is changing, and how you share your message in Washington is changing," Freeman said. "You've got to break through the clutter."
Freeman dismissed the predatory gambling group's complaint. He said online gambling empires like the one depicted in the movie often fail to verify gamblers' ages and locations, and they offer no guarantee they're playing fair.
"Runner Runner," released by Twentieth Century Fox, tells the story of a Princeton University graduate student, played by Timberlake, who believes he's been cheated after gambling away his tuition money. He travels to Costa Rica to stick it to an online poker tycoon, played by Affleck, who then offers him a job.
Writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman, who also created the 1998 gambling classic "Rounders," told Reuters that they were surprised by the casino lobby's campaign and found it amusing.
Early reviews have been mostly negative.
