Slidell Little Theatre season promoted through works of art - Nola.com

American stage and film actress Tallulah Bankhead once remarked that the only person with steady employment in the theater is the watchman. Yet, that cautionary statement does not apply to the Slidell Little Theatre, which is celebrating its 50th year of existence. Referring to their organization as "Fifty Years Strong," the nonprofit, all-volunteer organization has provided steady entertainment for lovers of the stage as well as a forum for children and adult actors.

Don Redman, vice president in charge of marketing, said that this season is inspired by looking back to celebrate the past 50 years and by pressing forward to the next 50 years. After an all-call to artists and graphic designers, the SLT board recently chose six artists to illustrate the poster and playbill in unique styles for each of the six upcoming plays.

"We have a slate of big attractions. ?Into the Woods? was the first production in 1994 in our new facility, so it has an emotional attachment for us. ?A Christmas Story? is a fan favorite, and ?Willie Wonka? has never been performed on our stage before," he said.

Redman expressed appreciation and amazement, "I marvel over all the talent that was submitted. We had so many incredible products offered to us that it was difficult to pick the final six artists."

The first play of the 2012-13 season, beginning Aug. 17, will be "Willie Wonka," and the poster was created by Joshua Heinsz, an illustrator and designer originally from Slidell. He describes himself as "being raised through SLT" and has spent time modeling and performing professionally for Walt Disney Company. He received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design and is now pursuing a master of fine arts degree in illustration at the Maryland Institute College of the Arts.

Heinsz?s poster depicts the play with candies wrapped in colorful wrappers stuffed inside the iconic Wonka top hat. The play data is printed on a golden ticket just as the one that got Charlie into the tightly guarded, magical, chocolate factory.

"Pippin" will follow, beginning Oct. 12. Kahra Martinez designed the poster in beautiful lettering with sweeping curves and a crown on the second letter. The crown represents the prince of the play, "Pippin," who longs to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. The energetic presentation is more intellectually complex than most people realize.

Martinez is a web and mobile application designer. An animal lover, she claims to run her own empire alongside the Basset Army and the evil Kittypants Rex. Among her delights are making things, solving problems, and eating cheese to which she is allergic. She is a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University where she earned a bachelor of arts degree in visual art with emphases in graphic design, digital art and painting.

For the end-of-year holidays, "A Christmas Story" will be presented. A well-known and beloved play about one family?s wisdom and folly guarantees to enthrall audiences with its hilarity and poignancy. The poster artist, Kristin Greenfelder, captures many of the identifiable elements of the play in her poster. A lamp made in the form of a lady?s leg, a pink bunny suit, and a Red Rider BB gun are represented in her artwork. The bespeckled main character and narrator, Ralphie, appears as the connection among all these parts.

A graduate of Central Michigan University, Greenfelder now calls Slidell home. She is an apprentice to master painter Louis Maestas of Albuquerque. Since turning over her share of a partnership in a screen printing and embroidery business, she has begun to focus on fine art and also designs stage sets, sings jingles, creates logos and illustrates books.

For the beginning of winter 2013, SLT will perform "Into the Woods" starting Jan. 18. Artist Cal DeSmith offers in his poster a contemporary artwork of bare trees and their shadows with a stylized Little Red Riding Hood looking inward. The white letters of the title are symbolically intertwined with the tree tops all on a green background. The musical weaves the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales and follows them to explore the consequences of the characters? wishes and quests. Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella are among the characters.

DeSmith is a sophomore at Southeastern, majoring in graphic design. He also enjoys painting. He said, "I appreciate the opportunity that SLT has given me to present my work to a new audience. I also thank my friends and family for their love and support."

"A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams promises to please local audiences with scenery of New Orleans. A romantic drama shakes the lives of the Kowalskis, Stanley and Stella, when Stella?s sister, Blanche, arrives via the streetcar Desire. It is desire that drives the plot and leads to the ending of the oft repeated cry, "Stella."

The poster by Katherine Klimitas depicts a Southern Belle clad in pink and headed to a balcony apartment after dismounting a green streetcar. A street sign in the French Quarter style displays the title of the play. Klimitas is an aspiring artist who began painting at age 5. She prefers watercolors and acrylic paints for depicting her favorite animals and their personalities. A recent summa cum laude graduate of Loyola University, she has a bachelor?s degree in graphic design. As an independent designer, she accepts commissions for pet portraits as well as for custom jewelry.

The final theatrical presentation of the season will be "Show Boat." It follows the lives of performers, stage hands and dock workers on the riverboat Cotton Blossom. The play follows the relationship of gambler Gaylord Ravenal and Magnolia Hawks, the captain?s daughter. It presents a love story, as well as a political statement about racial inequality.

In her artwork, Sarah Boudreaux, places a river boat as it docks along a sun-drenched orange and yellow Mississippi River. Silhouetted in the foreground, lovers embrace in a kiss under moss-laden live oak trees. Boudreaux, a Slidell native and Picayune, Miss., resident, has a bachelor of arts degree in studio art with a minor in graphic design.

Her art expressions were encouraged at Rembrandt Studio and then at Pope John Paul High School and finally Spring Hill College. She enjoys graphite, oils and colored pencils and is both a commission artist and a graphic designer at M&M Printing.

The artworks serve as invitations to join in the joy of the theater where reality is reflected in unique and captivating ways, as it has been for the past 50 years. For information about auditions, ticket prices or productions, visit www.slidelllittletheatre.org. Reservations can be made online or by calling 985.641.0324.

Follow This Guide To Win Your Golf Match


Golf is a fun activity enjoyed by many. However, for both beginners and experts, there are things you can learn that will help improve your game. In the following article, you are going to be given advice about golfing that you may find to be useful for the next time you play a game.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf, is to make sure you always relax yourself before each shot, by taking in a deep breath of four counts and exhaling slowly, over the course of counting to four. This is one of the best ways you can calm yourself before addressing the ball.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf, is to never let your tools dictate your skill. Your skill should be independent of any equipment that you use and better tools should only enhance your current ability. This is important to consider when it comes to golf clubs, as well as, any accessories that you use.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to try playing a golf video game if you are unfamiliar with golf.

This is a great learning tool to help you learn the rules, club selection, and overall feel for the game. Of course this will do little to no assistance with your actual performance but it is a great introduction to the game.

In order to ensure proper alignment in the trap, where you cannot ground your club during address, line up with your club head above the ball and place your stance accordingly. This ensures that you have the best chance for a straight shot while at the same time avoiding a costly penalty stroke.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is store you clubs where is it safe. Never leave your golf clubs in your automobile overnight, if you do not park it in a secure garage. Many thieves know that people tend to keep clubs in their back seat or trunk and will target you.

You need to replace any divots that you make. To replace a divot you need to put the tuft of grass back into the hole and step on it firmly. This should make the course look better and make it easier to play on the next time you come golfing.

In order to reduce your chances of popping up the tee shot, make adjustments to your swing that take the steepness out of your downswing. A sharp downswing gives you less room for error at the point of impact, while having a smooth, sweeping swing gives you an increased chance to have solid contact.

Remember that your hips and arms need to work together in a good golf swing. They should move simultaneously. While your arms bring the club down, your hips should already be swiveling out of the way. Learning to properly coordinate your upper and lower body will provide much-improved swing performance.

As mentioned in the beginning of this article, golf is a pleasurable activity that people throughout the world enjoy participating in. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, learning more about the game of golf will do nothing but help your overall game. Use this advice the next time you are on the green and you may find great success!

What you should know about college financial aid | Medill ...

by Mara Grbenick, Medill News Service for Marketwatch on 05/29/12

WASHINGTON?President Barack Obama opposes a push by Congress to double the 3.4 % interest rate on federal Stafford student loans, but Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Fastweb.com and Finaid.org, has a different message: Let the? rate expire in July as currently mandated and increase funding for Pell Grants, which help make college attainable for the neediest students in America.

The U.S. is in a brains race, Kantrowitz says, and, to stay competitive, should devote substantially more resources to smart people? who can?t afford college.

In a recent conversation, Kantrowitz offered his take on federal education loan policy and his best advice for students and parents.

What frustrates you most about how the college aid process works?

The financial aid system, which includes the financial aid application, the methods for evaluating financial need and the types of aid available, is too complicated. Neither the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) nor the College Board?s CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE Form take into consideration consumer debt held by the student or parents. Student loan debt is also not treated as offsetting to assets or income and consequently the need analysis overstates ability to pay. ?

There are three college savings plans: 529 College Savings Plans, Prepaid Tuition Plans and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. There are three education tax benefits: Hope Scholarship Tax Credit (also known as the American Opportunity Tax Credit), Lifetime Learning Tax Credit and Tuition and Fees Deduction.? And there are also too many student aid programs: For example, there are five different federal loan programs ? Perkins, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford, Parent Plus, consolidation loans ? and they all have different interest rates. It?s too much choice for most people and makes the true cost of college hard to know.

What should students really look for in their college aid award letters?

In financial aid award letters, colleges often describe loans as reducing college costs, which is, of course, misleading, because loans do just the opposite?they increase your costs. Also, there?s an important distinction between the net cost, the term used in award letters, and the true cost of college. The net cost of college is the total cost of attendance minus the financial aid package, which may include a variety of student loans.

I routinely hear from students who believe they are getting a free ride because the net cost is zero. The net cost is usually the same or similar to the expected family contribution, which may be zero for low-income students. When I look at their financial aid award letters I see thousands of dollars of student loans and tens of thousands of dollars of Parent PLUS loans. That isn?t a free ride.

What should the goals be on a national level to improve financial aid policy?

In the United States we are not adequately investing in our greatest resource?students. Public policy can be based on a variety of goals, such as increasing the number of college-capable low-income students who can enroll in and graduate from college or keeping the U.S. strong in fields that are going to be strategically important (e.g., science, technology, engineering and math) by rewarding academic merit in those fields. Finally, encouraging college graduates to become teachers in those areas will help educate the next generation so public service loan forgiveness should be a part of the policy.

More money for loans means less money for grants. Cutting direct investment in education will ultimately hurt us as a nation. The benefits of this investment are not private. Not only do college graduates earn incomes that are 70 to 80 % higher than high school graduates, but bachelor?s degree recipients also pay more than double the federal income tax.

Why have the interest rates on some federal student loans remained high even though interest rates for other things like cars are quite low? The Direct PLUS loan for Parents is 7.9 % plus a 4 % origination fee. The government makes money on it.

The rates are overall a pretty good deal. When you buy a car, the loan is secured with the car. When you buy a house, the mortgage is secured by the home. If you default on a federal student loan, the government cannot repossess your education. Federal student loans are also higher risk, since they are not credit underwritten. Federal student loans have fixed rates, while most other forms of consumer debt have variable rates, rates that have nowhere to go but up. This is why if you fail to pay your student loans, your wages or even Social Security checks could be garnished up to 15 %.

The interest rate doesn?t matter while you?re in school. It only affects the cost of college after you graduate. Remember that interest rates are unusually low right now because the Federal Reserve is suppressing increases in interest rates through 2014. If interest rates follow past patterns, they will eventually begin to rise by about the same amount they dropped at the start of the credit crisis. Federal student loans have fixed rates, which over time will cost less.

It?s an election year so there?s more talk about education policies that appeal to voters in the short-term, but what do you think the U.S. needs to do in the long-term?

We are no longer in an arms race, but in a brains race. We need a national priority of investing in people. The U.S. doesn?t have a monopoly on talent. We?ve invested in our native ingenuity [in the past], but we can?t slack off. The U.S. has the best system, but it?s only a matter of time before other countries start catching up. ?

Student aid policy over the past several decades has focused mainly on maintaining the status quo. While the total dollar amount of funding has increased, the average amount of funding per student has declined on a constant dollar basis. There has not been any bold new investment in postsecondary education. What would happen if we were to increase investment in the Pell Grant program from $30 billion a year to $100 billion? This would dramatically increase the number of college graduates, switching us from a downward spiral to a new renaissance of business and technological leadership. Even people who don?t have kids going to college would benefit because higher federal income tax revenue from the college graduates would allow Congress to maintain or expand current programs without any tax increases. There are 3 million jobs unfilled because we don?t have enough college graduates with the right skills to fill them.

What?s your best advice to students and parents who are trying to make a good decision for college?

?

  1. Start saving as soon as possible for college. The earlier you start, the better off you?ll be and the more flexibility you?ll have in making your decision. The greatest asset is time. If you start saving from birth, about a third of the college savings goal will be achieved from earnings rather than from contributions to savings. If you start saving when the child enters high school, only about 10% will come from earnings. Also start searching for scholarships early. Every dollar you save or win is about a dollar less you?ll have to borrow to pay for school. The more you can save or receive in grants, the more freedom you have to choose your ideal school.
  2. Minimize your debt. Before you incur debt, figure out how you will repay it. The total student loan debt you will take on should be less than your expected annual starting salary. Federal loans provide alternate repayment plans like extended repayment and income-based repayment, but those have consequences like more interest. The longer you are in debt, the more difficulty you will face in meeting other financial goals.
  3. Compare college costs based on net price. This is the truer measure of cost and affordability. The net price is the cost of attendance minus just grants and scholarships. The remaining amount is how much money you need to pay from savings, income or loans.
  4. Also consider graduation rates and other measures of college quality. Is your chosen field of study offered at the university and how strong is the program? Those students that are driven to do well will do well no matter where they go, but talented and driven students tend to matriculate in schools where the graduation rate is high. (It is unclear whether this is due to the value added by the elite colleges or whether the elite colleges merely aggregate the most talented students.) Given the tradeoffs between college affordability and college quality, it is often worthwhile to enroll at a lower-cost college, such as an in-state public college.
  5. Know how much debt you are really going to end up with and calculate the monthly loan payment. There are online tools for this. Think about the life goals you have and how those payments will affect your ability to meet those goals. Will you need a car? Do you want to save for a house or your children?s education? When evaluating college costs, make the cost of your loans tangible and specific.

ACLU, Lambda Legal Bring Marriage-Equality Fight To Illinois As ...

? WEDDING PRESENCE

Today dozens of gay and lesbian couples in Illinois are planning on filing lawsuits claiming the state?s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional because it denies due process and equality.Lambda Legal and The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois are working on two different suits, representing couples from around the state?including Tanya Lazaro and Elizabeth Matos, who have been together for 15 years and have two children. The hope is the cases will wind their way up to the Illinois Supreme Court.

A measure eliminating Illinois? ?one man, one woman definition? of marriage is before the State Legislature, but a vote isn?t expected before they break for summer recess this week.? And like many same-sex couples in the The Prairie State, Lazaro and Matos aren?t satisfied with the limited protections offered by civil unions.

?It?s not the same thing as a marriage. We want our relationship, our love and our commitment we?ve shown for 15 years to be recognized like everybody else?s,? says Lazaro, a Chicago police detective. ?When you?re growing up, you don?t dream of civil unions.?

Not everyone is rooting the couples on, of course: Conservatives, who tried to block even civil unions last year, are opposed to the judiciary making a decision on the issue: ?The courts shouldn?t mandate it. Nobody should mandate homosexual marriage,? said Concerned Women for America?s Colleen Nolen.

Ugh, is it too late to repeal women?s right to vote?

Elaborate Portland marriage proposal goes viral

(AP) ? Isaac Lamb acknowledges that his five-minute, block-long choreographed build-up to a marriage proposal has upped the stakes for everyone who follows.

"Guys, I'm sorry," he said on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday. "That wasn't my intention."

The Portland-area thespian's creative proposal last week to girlfriend Amy Frankel featured about 60 people dancing on a small street near his parents' home. Video of the performance (http://apne.ws/M3Jmex ) has gone viral, notching more than 6 million YouTube hits so far.

Lamb is pitching it as the world's first lip-synched proposal, and there don't appear to be any challengers.

The video begins with Lamb's brother putting headphones over Frankel's ears as she sits facing out the back of an SUV, her legs dangling over the rear bumper.

"This song tends to exemplify you and Isaac's relationship to me," the brother tells her, and there begins Bruno Mars' sugar-pop, up-tempo ballad "Marry You."

The car starts moving and two of the couple's friends roll into the frame, then a few more. It was nothing that seemed too out of the ordinary, Frankel told NBC's "Today." She and Lamb are actors and are used to elaborate stunts.

Frankel thought: "Oh, they're doing something with Isaac's family," she told the show. "There's seven of them. This is so sweet."

A second camera ? the one that gives the video its emotional heft ? is perched above Frankel's face, capturing her reaction. It shows her as she crosses her hands on her chest, shakes her head, giggles and swoons.

The proposal is elaborate but not expensive, choreographed but not constrained. In this city where the television show "Portlandia" suggested young people go to retire, most of the dancers in the video look like they fell off the bus from central casting headed for its set.

For all the pageantry, though, the proposal itself was pretty simple.

"You have already given me a lifetime of happiness," Lamb tells Frankel when the music stops. "Will you let me spend the rest of my life trying to give you the same? Will you marry me?"

She nods, and they kiss as a man in the background wearing a marching-band costume wipes away a tear.

Lamb's proposal is not the first wedding-themed video to go viral. Jill and Kevin's wedding entrance dance from 2009 set the standard for matrimonial cool and ? at 75 million online views ? spawned countless imitators.

The song Lamb picked, on its face, sounds ideal ? "Marry You" is a kind of proposal. Except its lyrics say: "It's a beautiful night. We're looking for something dumb to do." And they round out with: "Who cares if we're trashed, got a pocket full of cash we can blow. Shots of Patron, and it's on."

Asked on "Today" about her favorite moment of the dance routine, Frankel said it was when she first saw Lamb appear on the street.

"When they all parted, and there was Isaac," she said. "That was the first time I think I took a breath."

AP Exclusive: Calif. 9/11 fund raided for deficits

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) ? After the 2001 terrorist attacks, California lawmakers sought a way to channel the patriotic fervor and use it to help victims' families and law enforcement. Their answer: specialty memorial license plates emblazoned with the words, "We Will Never Forget."

Part of the money raised through the sale of the plates was to fund scholarships for the children of California residents who perished in the attacks, while the majority ? 85 percent ? was to help fund anti-terrorism efforts.

But an Associated Press review of the $15 million collected since lawmakers approved the "California Memorial Scholarship Program" shows only a small fraction of the money went to scholarships. While 40 percent has funded anti-terror training programs, $3 million was raided by Gov. Jerry Brown and his predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to plug the state's budget deficit.

Millions more have been spent on budget items with little relation to direct threats of terrorism, including livestock diseases and workplace safety.

Moreover, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has been advertising the plates as helping the children of Sept. 11 victims even though the state stopped funding the scholarship program seven years ago. The specialty plate fund continues to take in $1.5 million a year.

Californians who lost loved ones in the attacks take the raid on the license plate fund as an affront to the memory of those who died.

"I can't believe that they would do that," said Candice Hoglan, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and bought a plate to commemorate her nephew, Mark Bingham. "We're paying extra for the plate; we're making a point, and it means a lot to us."

Bingham was killed on United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, and was one of the passengers who led the attempt to wrest control from the hijackers. His mother, Alice Hoagland, also was troubled by the program's apparent drift from its original purpose.

"I'm sorry that as we retreat in time from 9/11, we seem to be retreating in our resolve never to forget," she said in a telephone interview.

The plates, which cost an initial $50 plus a $40 annual renewal fee, feature an American flag partially obscured by clouds and the "never forget" slogan. Residents of California, where all four jetliners were bound when they were hijacked, have bought or renewed the plates more than 200,000 times since 2002.

Of the other states directly associated with the 2001 attacks, only Virginia has established a similar specialty plate program. Yet it did not set up a special fund for the proceeds of its "Fight Terrorism" plate.

For the past decade, the California DMV has said on its website that the money will "fund scholarships for the children of Californians who died in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and helps California's law enforcement fight threats of terrorism." It advertises the program with the slogan, "Be a patriot."

While the DMV description of the program was not "totally disingenuous," the department should probably remove references to the scholarship program, said Joe DeAnda, a spokesman for the state treasurer's office, which disburses the money.

"It's out of date and it's on DMV to update that," he said.

Late Friday, the department modified the description of the license plate on its website to remove the reference to the scholarship program in response to the investigation by the AP, which began in March. Spokeswoman Jan Mendoza said the reason promotional materials were not updated sooner was "unknown."

The DMV still lists the scholarship program on the online and hardcopy form drivers fill out to buy the license plates, but Mendoza said the department will change this next time the forms are printed.

The legislation establishing the plates had earmarked 15 percent of the revenue for scholarships. Yet only $21,381 has reached the children and spouses of the three dozen California residents killed during the terrorist attacks. The state treasurer's office closed the scholarship program in 2005, the sign-up deadline for potential recipients, and has $60,000 in reserve.

The total amount dedicated to scholarships was 1.5 percent of the $5.5 million raised through the sale of the plates through 2005.

The original legislation said the remainder of the money would go to "law enforcement, fire protection, and public health agencies" to be used "exclusively for purposes directly related to fighting terrorism."

But in 2008, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, borrowed $2 million to close a budget gap. Last year, Brown, a Democrat, borrowed another $1 million.

Neither loan has been repaid nor are their deadlines to ensure they will be. Elizabeth Ashford, a spokeswoman for Brown, said the loans have done no harm.

"We're trying to simultaneously balance the budget and fund important programs," she said. "If there was an indication that borrowing this money was going to negatively impact this program, we wouldn't borrow the money."

The rest of the money has gone to a wide array of budgets and programs.

The Legislature sent $3.7 million to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, according to the Department of Finance, to establish an online food monitoring database and implement a variety of worker safety programs, including hiring industrial hygienists to tend to worker health.

But it is difficult to say precisely where the money has gone. Late Friday, the agriculture department delivered documents it said were in response to a California Public Records Act request the AP filed eight weeks earlier.

The response contained itemized budget reports going back six years and listing payments for all types of government functions, ranging from salaries and benefits, to printing costs and communication equipment. Among the details: $18,163 for furniture in 2006 and $11,492 for auto inspection in 2009.

The response also included a legislative report on the threats the agriculture department is targeting with an online database the license plate program helps fund . A similar report from 2006, when the license plate money was first authorized, lists bioterrorism as a potential danger. But the 2011 report focuses on food safety and livestock concerns, including foot-and-mouth disease and meat and poultry monitoring.

Director of Animal Health and Food Safety Services Annette Whiteford said the department does not track license plate money separately from other funds.

She said it would be wasteful to reserve the money exclusively for anti-terrorism work. For example, the department uses some of the money to buy safety suits that would be essential during an anthrax attack but also are useful for routine food investigations.

"The things that I worry about in the animal food safety division are very high consequence events, but very infrequent. So I always try to leverage those resources," she said.

Another $2 million has gone to programs that aim to protect Californians from all manner of potential threats, not just those related to terrorism.

The California Emergency Management Agency used nearly $1 million in memorial license plate money for general operations, including administrative costs, buying and fueling cars, and hiring a person from 2007 to 2009 to coordinate five so-called "fusion centers," according to documents obtained through a Public Records Act request.

The other $1 million went directly to the fusion centers, which were founded after the 2001 attacks to focus on terrorist threats but have since switched to an "all crimes" approach that includes gang activity and natural disasters.

Herb Wesson, who wrote the license plate bill when he was speaker of the California Assembly, said he was saddened to hear how the money had been spent.

"I understand the financial climate they find themselves in, but they are not following the spirit and intent of the legislation," said Wesson, now president of the Los Angeles City Council. "The lion's share of the money was supposed to be given to local law enforcement so that they could beef up their anti-terrorism operations."

About 40 percent of the total raised to date, or $6 million, has gone to anti-terrorism training programs for firefighters and law enforcement officers. There is a slight discrepancy between the DMV's revenue figures and the Department of Finance's expenditure figures that neither agency could explain.

Patricia Anderson, who paid $98 for a personalized memorial plate reading "WE R 4US," said she signed up for the program primarily to show respect for victims of the 9/11 attacks. Anderson said she was disheartened but not surprised to learn that much of the money has gone to fill the state deficit or used for general purposes.

"That's California," said Anderson, who now lives near Austin, Texas. "It's kind of a given these days ? nothing is spent on what it's supposed to be."

Renesas outsources top-end chips to TSMC as shake-out looms

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Renesas Electronics will outsource its top-end chips to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to survive cut-throat global competition after falling behind in investment and as it grapples with a costly restructuring.

Renesas, the world's fifth-largest chipmaker, and the rest of Japan's semiconductor industry face their biggest shake-out in a decade as more nimble rivals such as Samsung Electronics force them to tap the technical prowess of contract manufacturers such as TSMC, the world leader.

"By outsourcing to TSMC, it's sending its customers a message that it will continue to push forward its technology," said Fred Yu, an analyst at IBTS Investment Consultation.

Renesas' shares fell more than 11 percent on Monday to a record low after news over the weekend that it planned to sell loss-making operations and cut at least 12,000 jobs - more than a quarter of its workforce - as part of a sweeping restructuring.

The company's escalating troubles follow the February bankruptcy filing of Elpida Memory Inc, Japan's last producer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips used in personal computers. Elpida is in talks with U.S. firm Micron Technology about a buyout plan.

Renesas' restructuring plan, presented to its banks, would be funded by raising more than 100 billion yen ($1.26 billion) in fresh capital, a source familiar with the situation said at the weekend.

The Japanese firm, struggling with high costs and mounting losses, said it expects to produce about 30 percent of its chips overseas by 2016/17, double the 15 percent in the year ended in March.

Renesas said on Monday it would outsource all its output of microcontroller chips with circuitry widths of only 40 nanometers or less, taking advantage of TSMC's more advanced production technology. Renesas is the world's largest producer of microcontroller chips for automobiles.

The Nikkei business daily reported at the weekend that Renesas' restructuring, which it aims to finalize by July, would also include selling TSMC a chip plant in northern Japan.

"If the business model is correct I don't think our company would rule out any possibility," said Cheng-Ming Lin, director of specialty technology at TSMC, when asked about TSMC carrying out production in Japan. "Japan has a lot of great engineering resources. I think this is a place that we can seriously consider but this is really my personal view."

Before finalizing the plan, Renesas must get approval from its main shareholders, electronics conglomerates Hitachi Ltd, Mitsubishi Electric Corp and NEC Corp, whose chip divisions were spun off and merged to form the company over the past decade. Combined, they hold more than 90 percent of Renesas shares.

Mitsubishi Electric, whose earnings along with Hitachi have been bolstered by strong results in the infrastructure business and by limited exposure to consumer electronics, said last week that Renesas' shareholders were prepared to offer support.

"If it can go through with the restructuring and raise funds, it will not be a repeat of Elpida," said Hideyuki Ishiguro, assistant manager of investment strategy at Okasan Securities.

"JAPAN INC" ENTERPRISE

But NEC, whose chip division was merged into Renesas just two years ago, has been hit with steep losses in recent years as its mobile handset and IT hardware businesses struggle.

Shares of NEC, which along with its employee pension trust owns 35 percent of Renesas, tumbled 9.2 percent on Monday and were the biggest drag on Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei average, while Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric were both little changed, in line with the Nikkei.

Renesas ended down 10.6 percent at 244 yen after falling to an all-time low of 238 yen. It was the busiest day's trading for the stock in almost 9 years. The stock has dropped nearly 60 percent over the past two months as worries mounted about its business, compared with a 15 percent fall in the Nikkei.

"I think it's very likely Hitachi and the major shareholders will give support, so I do think the reaction today is a little excessive," said Okasan Securities' Ishiguro.

Renesas' loss-making system LSI unit, which makes system-on-chip products combining processing and other functions used in a range of digital electronics, has been a major drag on the company as Japanese consumer electronics makers cut production of televisions and other goods.

Sales in the system LSI division fell 35.5 percent in the year to end-March, the worst performance among its major divisions. Media reports have said Japan's government is pushing a plan to combine troubled system LSI businesses from Renesas, Panasonic Corp and Fujitsu Ltd into a government-backed company that would focus on chip design, while selling off factories and outsourcing manufacturing to contract chip makers.

Analysts note that Japanese system-on-chip makers have suffered from their willingness to over-customize chips to suit the needs of customers in Japan's consumer electronics sector, undermining efficiency and sacrificing profit margins.

While analysts have long urged Japanese chipmakers to take advantage of the so-called fabless model that focuses on chip design operations while outsourcing chip fabrication, Renesas' experience as a receptacle for other companies' unwanted chip operations bodes ill for such "Japan Inc" enterprises.

Analysts and industry executives have said a major factor behind Renesas' problems was a reluctance by executives from its various parent companies to relinquish control, hobbling an ability to make bold restructuring decisions such as closing down plants or discontinuing product lines.

"The major problem that Renesas faces is its own management, which is comprised of executives from its major shareholding companies," said a Japanese chip sector executive, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue.

"The problem with these firms that are the product of mergers of 'big name' companies is that they are not prepared to take on restructuring that is required and to do whatever necessary to survive."

Sweating The Small Stuff: Sotheby?s Selling Original Steve Jobs Note About Atari Circuit Improvements

sjmemo4

The auction house Sotheby?s is selling an official memo from Steve Jobs to Atari about improving the World Cup Football game. The pages ? stamped and signed by Jobs himself ? describe circuit diagrams and paddle layouts. Delightfully, the stamp says ?All-One Farm Design? and features a Buddhist mantra, ?gate gate paragate parasangate bodhi svahdl.? As you do.

If you?re thinking of picking this up you?d best have about $10,000 to $15,000 handy ? although bidding could get fierce. Quoth MacWorld:

The June 15th, 2012 auction features a 5 page memo sent to Atari employee Steve Bristow by Steve Jobs. This memo describes changes that could be made to Atari?s World Cup Soccer arcade game. These changes were designed to add play variety to the game and to extend the ?shelf life? for arcade operators. While the memo is typed on Atari letterhead, it also features a stamp imprinted with the name of Steve Job?s company at the time ?All-One Farm Design? and the address of the Jobs family garage( and the birthplace of Apple Computer). The memo features a circuit diagram and a hand written addendum.

This is the earliest know documentation produced by Steve Jobs and predates the founding of Apple computer by almost two years. No other documents from Steve Jobs time at Atari are known to exist. Sotheby?s sold another Steve Jobs document in December, 2011 for $1.6 million.

If you?re really feeling spendy, you can plop down $180,000 on an original Apple I circuit board, presumably in mint condition. Get cracking and don?t forget: Sabbe satta sukhi hontu.

Want To Improve Your Home? Try Using Some Of This Advice

Replace your old curtains with new ones. A faded set of curtains will take away from the look of the entire space. By eliminating them you will add a dramatic feel to your room without having to go through all of the work of painting the room. It is an affordable and easy way to get a new look.

Before making a major investment in landscaping materials and plants, check with your local garden center. Most lawn and garden companies are more than willing to discuss preliminary landscape design and strategy for little to no cost. This ensures that you select plants that are compatible with your maintenance expectations, soil type, and amount of sun and shade.

Building a free-standing bird feeder is an easy home imporovement project. Choose a window with a view of a location which is comfortable from your standpoint as well as the brightly colored birds in your area. You will soon be entertained while providing a safe haven for our wild friends.

Age your new wall paneling a few days before installing it. New paneling is typically stored at the warehouse in large tightly compressed piles. When the individual pieces are removed from those piles and exposed to room humidity they sometimes shrink. Providing an aging period of a few days in your home will keep you from suffering the consequences of the shrinkage.

If your kitchen is in need of a renovation that you can?t afford, consider simply repainting your cabinets and replacing their hinges. You won?t have made any major functional changes, but your kitchen will appear much nicer and newer. Replacing hinges ensures that cabinet doors fit snugly instead of hanging open, and the new paint will brighten up the whole room.

You need to define the reason for your home improvements before starting so that you stay on track though out the renovations. Some of the reasons you might focus on could be to add more space, or to increase the homes value, or even to make it more energy efficient.

Installing new appliances into your kitchen to replace any that might be out dated or in poor working condition can refresh an individuals kitchen. These new appliances can be chosen to maximize any aspect of the kitchen. Whether they have new features, better performance, or just look better, one or several new kitchen appliances can be great for home improvement.

When undertaking major landscaping home improvement projects, always consult with your neighbors about drainage before work begins. An ideal landscaping plan involves draining all water off of your property. Often the convenient way to do this is to dump it on your neighbor?s property, but they are not likely to be happy with this! It is possible to coordinate mutually beneficial drainage plans, but it cannot happen without clear communication.

There?s no need for a full bathroom remodel when you can make your bathroom more functional and stylish by installing new fixtures. Update the shower with a more adjustable shower head or there are even models that mimic rainfall! New sink faucets, towel racks, cabinet hardware or mirrors are other effective choices. Change out your fixtures and you will update your style with out breaking your budget.

Hopefully the information that you have just read will help you realize that home improvement isn?t as scary as it can seem. There are wrong choices that can be made, but if you stick to these tips, you will have the information you need to make good choices and have a great and valuable home.

Key words: fiscal policyThe reporter Guo Yixin, edited by Song WeipingExpanding domestic demand has become the main melody of steady growth. Yesterday held a State Council executive meeting emphasizes, want exert oneself to expand domestic demand, improve consumption policies and measures. Vice Premier of the State CouncilLi KeqiangIt was recently pointed out, maintaining steady and rapid economic development the biggest potential in domestic demand, especially is to focus on the major livelihood projects, which can effectively stimulate demand and can protect and improve people?s livelihood.??Fiscal expenditure will further tilt to the livelihood of the peopleThisMinistry of FinanceSaid, the future fiscal expenditure will be further to the people?s livelihood in tilted fields. ?The current and future periods to safeguard and improve people?s livelihood will be put in more prominent place in the financial work.?
