www.nateperkins.tv/ By Eric Stirgus The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday, November 13, 2008 Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin said Wednesday the citys employees will have their hours - and pay - cut by 10 percent each week to help the city weather an expected budget shortfall of $50 million to $60 million. The pay and hour cuts, which begin Dec. 1, affect 4,600 city employees. Franklin also announced an immediate hiring freeze for most city agencies and said the city will have to cut back some services, dip into its reserves for about $12 million and make other personnel moves.
www.nateperkins.tv/ By Eric Stirgus The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday, November 13, 2008 Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin said Wednesday the citys employees will have their hours - and pay - cut by 10 percent each week to help the city weather an expected budget shortfall of $50 million to $60 million. The pay and hour cuts, which begin Dec. 1, affect 4,600 city employees. Franklin also announced an immediate hiring freeze for most city agencies and said the city will have to cut back some services, dip into its reserves for about $12 million and make other personnel moves.
Blaming the shortfall on the nations economic crisis, Franklin said the city needs a federal rescue plan in addition to its cuts to balance the budget. In a letter Tuesday to U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, she asked for federal investment in Atlantas - and other cities - infrastructure, public safety, and programs for job training and placement.
The future prosperity of this country is tied directly to our ability to provide basic services and quality infrastructure to our citizens, Franklin wrote. We are at serious risk in failing in that most basic public responsibility. And if current economic conditions continue, she told the City Councils Finance/Executive committee, This will not be the last time you see me before the end of the fiscal year. Although Franklin and her staff said they have not made decisions about how they will make the service cuts, some union leaders said the changes will erode morale and threaten public safety.
This is a dangerous time for our firefighters, Atlanta fire Lt. Jim Daws, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 134, told reporters. The city is putting them in a dangerous position. Atlanta police Sgt. Scott Kreher, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, Local 623, said some officers may get discouraged by the cuts and leave the force.
The citizens of Atlanta should be screaming at the top of their lungs, he said. But Franklin, pointing to data showing crime in Atlanta is down in most major categories this year, said Atlantans are going to have a safe city. Councilman Ceasar Mitchell proposed furloughs earlier this year. City leaders did not approve the idea. We are in a deep, wide recession. We are going to provide the best services we can with the resources we have, the mayor said.
Franklin and her staff based the projected shortfall on data showing revenues below projections for the first three months of the current budget year, which began July 1. Sales taxes, which represent about 20 percent of the citys revenue, are down by 3 percent. Building permit and licensing permit revenues are down 60 percent and 50 percent respectively.
Franklin said the citys expenses are 2 percent below budget. She said the citys Aviation Department, which manages Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, is holding up, but its Watershed Management Department is facing a projected budget shortfall of at least $50 million. City officials say the shortfall is caused largely by dropoffs in usage revenues and rising debt costs, and the mayor said Watershed Management officials are working on a plan to meet the gap.
Some city residents wondered Wednesday whether the cuts were being made too hastily. Paul Zucca of Grant Park noted the city last week hired a new chief financial officer and consultants to create a long-term plan to improve the citys Finance Department. I would feel more comfortable when the chief financial officer has more numbers, said Zucca, who served on a committee that recently came up with salary recommendations for the mayor, City Council and Atlanta Board of Education. Councilman Kwanza Hall, vice chairman of the councils finance committee, countered that the city had to move quickly. I appreciate [Franklins staff] doing it now instead of waiting until later, he said.
The city earlier this year laid off 372 employees, eliminated about 900 jobs, cut some services and raised fees to fill a $140 million budget gap for the current fiscal year. Atlanta had a $41 million budget deficit for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Nutter delivered the letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The letter is signed by Nutter, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. NATE PERKINS LIVE!

Disposable Men explores the uncanny relationship that African American men and classic Hollywood monsters like King Kong and Frankenstein share: first, an unfounded fear of them, and then, the imaginative ways in which they are killed. Using unexpected twists and turns to track history of lynchings and riots through to contemporary police brutality, James Scruggs' tour de force asks why todays media tells us that black men are so disposable. This Atlanta-based performing arts theater serves up its current season, history , ticket information, cast and crew, and contacts.

Disposable Men was developed through the HERE Arts Center (NY) Resident Artist Program and premiered at HERE in February 2004. PERFORMANCE TIMES Thurs. 11/13 at 8pm (Opening Night) Fri. 11/14 at 10am (Matinee)Fri. 11/14 at 8pm Sat. 11/15 at 8pm (with Talkback) Sun. 11/16 at 5pm Fast forward to today. There are not many lynchings, but the perception and fear persists. Disposable Men explores how African American men, who were lynched and burned and regularly killed for a simple social faux pas, are perceived and dealt with today. Fifty years ago it was acceptable to kill a black man for giving a white man a "dirty look". That perception, that behavior, that pattern of interaction has morphed over the years and we live in a time where policemen can attack and kill unarmed black men and suffer no consequence. We are still perceived as Disposable Men.7 Stages RENT 7 STAGES, DIRECTIONS, VOLUNTEER, INTERN, THE C.H.O.I.R. ... 7 Stages Theatre 1105 Euclid Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307 404-523-7647 (box office) ...

Nate --
There's nothing like being on the campaign trail with Barack -- right at the heart of the largest and most inspiring grassroots movement in the history of politics.
Our team put together a video that captures that energy, and I had to share it with you.
You already know how it feels to own a piece of this incredible movement. Will you watch the video and -- when Barack needs you most -- make another donation of $100 or more?
It's taken a lot of hard work to get this far, but we still have millions of voters to contact in a very short time.
This week alone, we need to grow this movement by 100,000 new donors -- but we're almost there.
If you make a donation before tonight's deadline, you can match the gift of a first time donor and double your impact.
Please watch this short video and make a matched donation of $100 or more for the change we need:
https://donate.barackobama.com/promise
Barack will be the underdog until he's in the White House, so keep working, keep talking to your friends and neighbors, and together we can change the world.
Thank you for your commitment, passion, and hard work,
Michelle

ATLANTA (AP) Grammy-winning rapper T.I. was arrested just hours before he was to take the stage at the BET Hip-Hop Awards after federal officials said he had paid his bodyguard to buy machine guns and silencers for him.
The self-proclaimed King of the South, who was up for nine nominations, won two awards. But he couldn't accept any trophies or make the planned performance after being arrested by federal authorities early Saturday.
T.I. was taken into custody in a shopping center parking lot where federal officials said he planned to pick up machine guns and silencers he had his bodyguard buy for him.
The arrest Saturday resulted from an investigation that began this month when a federal firearms licensee contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about a man inquiring about buying a machine gun without registering the weapon as required by law, according to a criminal complaint filed Saturday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
After trying to buy several machine guns from an undercover ATF agent, the unnamed person began cooperating with the government and said he was buying the machine guns and silencers for Clifford Harris, T.I.'s given name, the complaint said. According to the bodyguard, he had bought about nine firearms for T.I., and the rapper had given him cash to buy guns four different times, it said.
Harris brokered the deals through the bodyguard because he is a convicted felon, the complaint alleged. It is against federal law for a convicted felon to have another person get firearms on their behalf.
The 27-year-old rapper had arranged to pick up the weapons just hours before he was to take the stage at the Hip-Hop Awards, being taped blocks away, according to the complaint.
Sydney Margetson, a spokesman for T.I.'s label, Atlantic Records, declined to comment Saturday.
As the Hip-Hop Awards were being taped in Atlanta on Saturday night, federal authorities were searching T.I.'s home in East Point, about 15 miles southwest of the city.
Half a dozen agents were still searching well into the night, removing boxes and envelopes from the large, red brick house with white columns and ornate glass windows, removing boxes and envelopes.
T.I. had been expected to perform at the BET show, which is to be broadcast Wednesday, and was nominated in nine categories. Instead, the rapper was noticeably absent from red carpet festivities before the show began at 6 p.m., though he was at the center where the show was to be taped.
Saturday was supposed to be a day of revelry for T.I., the co-chief executive of Grand Hustle Records. The self-proclaimed King of the South won three awards at last year's inaugural BET Hip-Hop Awards and received nine nominations this year, including CD of the Year, Lyricist of the Year and MVP of the Year.
Even though the Atlanta-based rapper was present at the Civic Center, where the event was held, he became noticeably absent from the red carpet festivities before the show.
The news of T.I. being arrested rippled throughout the event. Rapper KRS-One, who received BET's "I am Hip Hop" Icon Award, learned about the raid just before he showed up.
KRS-One, whose real name is Lawrence Parker, said the fellow rapper's legal woes should not reflect on the industry as a whole.
"I'm saddened anytime I hear of a hip-hopper being locked up or somehow stunted in his life or his growth," he told The Associated Press. "I hope he wasn't into nothing crazy."
Chicago rapper Common, who won the CD of the year award along with T.I., tried to lend his support.
"I salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is," said Common, while raising up his trophy. He also won lyricist of the year.
Other artists who were supposed to perform with T.I. still pulled off the performance. As Wyclef Jean stood on stage to enact T.I.'s song, "You Know What It Is," host and comedian Katt Williams pranced across the stage dressed like T.I. trying to impersonate him as the crowd burst into laughter.
Alfamega still took the stage with Busta Rhymes for the song "Hurt." As the two rapped, many of the audience members stood seemingly puzzled at T.I.'s absence.
Kanye West was a winner in two categories best live performance and hip-hop video. After West got his trophy for best hip-hop video, he said he thought the video for UGK's "International Players," featuring OutKast, should have been chosen over his.
"I didn't deserve this award above them. They do instead of me," said West, who is typically known more for comments that critics call arrogant.
But Big Boi of OutKast returned the favor to West by giving him the award back saying, "You worked too hard for this. No, you deserve it."
The Hip Hop Awards will air on Oct. 17.
T.I.'s sixth album, T.I. vs. T.I.P., was released July 3 and debuted at No. 1.
In May 2006, T.I.'s best friend, Philant Johnson, was killed and three others were injured in a gun shootout after a post-performance party in Cincinnati. The killer remains at large, and T.I. was briefly locked up a few days after the funeral on suspicion of failing to perform community service stemming from a 2003 arrest.
T.I. grew up in Atlanta and was selling crack by the time he was a teenager. After years of hustling to launch his rap career, recording demos and flying back and forth to New York shopping for a record deal, his first taste of success came with his 2003 album, Trap Muzik.
But the next year, warrants were issued for his arrest on probation violations for a drug conviction, and he was sentenced to three years behind bars. It wasn't clear Saturday how much of the sentence he actually served.
T.I. hit the big screen in his debut movie, ATL, in March 2006. He has a role opposite Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe in American Gangster, set for release Nov. 2.

The scale and scope of the December 26, 2004 tsunami tragedy presented a serious challenge to international and humanitarian agencies and prompted an outpouring of help from across the world, much of which came from the private sector. Coca-Cola was among many companies that quickly provided support. The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC), its bottling partners and employees contributed US$20 million to tsunami relief and recovery efforts, including both financial and in-kind donations such as bottled drinking water.
Actions Taken
TCCC contributed just over US$1 million of its direct cash support to the United Nations Foundation (UNF), which, along with the United Nations Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP) helped to coordinate a partnership initiative with UNDP designed to build on the UNs post-tsunami recovery efforts in the region. The goal of the partnership was to support the long-term reconstruction effort with a focus on sustainable, community-based water and sanitation activities in remote, tsunami-affected areas of Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Maldives. Both the UN and TCCC were also keen to have the companys involvement entail more than a simple cash contribution. For example, TCCC loaned one of its managers to the UNDP Regional Centre in Bangkok on a full-time basis for one year to help build and manage the partnership activities.
Additionally, TCCC and its bottling partners immediately used manufacturing capability for the large scale production of bottled drinking water and harnessed the distribution and logistics reach of its business system to meet the needs of local communities and various relief and government agencies in affected areas.
Benefits to Society
In the south of Thailand, the TCCC partnership is helping tsunami-affected communities on Lanta Island by funding and working with local villagers on a series of initiatives to ease water shortage problems. In the fishing community of Sanga-U, for example, ten check dams have been built along the village stream to collect and retain rainwater for use in more than 100 households. In Sri Lanka, the project serves two badly-hit areas of the country Kattankudi in the East and Kalupe in the South providing improved access to water and sanitation as well as building greater community awareness on water, sanitation and hygiene issues. The project in Indonesia provided the government with comprehensive hydro-geological data and mapping on freshwater resources in the Pidie and Sigli districts of Aceh. Building on this data, the project now provides safe and regular water supply and sanitation facilities to more than 7,000 villagers in this region of the country. On the isolated island of Dhambidhoo in the Maldives, meanwhile, the project is installing a sustainable sanitation system for all island residents, preventing further sewage-based pollution of the precious groundwater and local marine environment.
Benefits to the Company
The partnership project laid the foundation for a deeper strategic collaboration between Coca-Cola and the UN system around the world. In particular, shared efforts have evolved on the topic of water resource management an area of considerable focus for both organizations. TCCC and UNF have since launched The Global Water Challenge, an initiative meant to save lives and reduce suffering in developing countries by providing safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene education. In March 2006, TCCC became a signatory to the UN Global Compact and, later that year, initiated a pioneering, five-year regional partnership with UNDP in Eurasia and the Middle East to help local communities tackle water-related development challenges.

NFL´s Vick Agrees Plea Deal In Dog-Fighting Case
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick agreed on Monday to plead guilty in a dog-fighting case.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick agreed on Monday to plead guilty in a dog-fighting case that threatens to wreck the career of one of U.S. football's most dynamic stars.
A strong-armed quarterback and breakaway runner, the 27-year-old Vick is accused of helping to run an interstate dog-fighting enterprise known as "Bad Newz Kennels" from 2001 through April 2007.
Dogfighting, in which two dogs bred to fight are placed in a pit to attack each other for spectators' entertainment and gambling, is illegal in the United States.
Prosecutors charged that dogs sometimes fought to the death and some losing or underperforming dogs had been shot, drowned, hanged, electrocuted or killed by being slammed to the ground.
Vick had initially denied direct involvement in pit bull fights that an indictment said took place on his property in Virginia. He accepted the deal after associates agreed to cooperate with prosecutors under their own plea deals.
"Mr. Vick will be entering a plea of guilty next Monday at 10:30," U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson told a group of some 20 reporters at the federal courthouse in Richmond.
Michael Vick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaMichael Dwayne Vick was born to Brenda Vick (16) and Michael Boddie (17) on June 26, 1980, in Newport News, Virginia, and was the second of four children. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Vick -
"No details of the plea agreement are publicly available at this time," added Hudson, who did not answer questions. Vick was not present, and the judge said the player would appear at the courthouse for the hearing next week.
Vick, one of the NFL's highest-paid players, could go to jail. Without a deal, the quarterback was likely to face a new indictment with more charges, legal sources had said.
Vick, the top pick in the 2001 NFL draft out of Virginia Tech, faced up to six years in prison and $350,000 in fines if convicted on all of the initial charges.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 17. The NFL, its season due to start next month, barred the three-time Pro Bowl selection from training camp after the indictment.
VICK APOLOGIZES: You watching NATE PERKINS LIVE:IPTV--Atlanta
In a statement issued on Monday, Vick's lead attorney, Billy Martin, said "Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made.
"Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter."
The NFL on Monday condemned Vick's conduct as outlined in the charges and said it was conducting its own review. The league has the right to add a further suspension beyond any jail time Vick may have to serve.
Purnell Peace, 35, and Quanis Phillips, 28, pleaded guilty last week before Judge Hudson to one count involving the dog-fighting ring, which prosecutors say was run from Vick's property in Virginia.
The judge set sentencing for the two men on Nov. 30.
The only other defendant, Tony Taylor, 34, pleaded guilty late last month and also agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the case against Vick.
Vick, a rare talent who threw for 20 touchdowns and ran for more than 1,000 yards last season for the Falcons, lost major endorsements following his indictment. Nike suspended the release of a new Michael Vick shoe that had been set to hit stores this month and Reebok stopped selling his jerseys.
He has been heavily criticized in the media and by animal rights groups.
"We totally condemn the conduct outlined in the charges, which is inconsistent with what Michael Vick previously told both our office and the Falcons. We will conclude our own review under the league's personal conduct policy as soon as possible," the NFL said in a statement.
"In the meantime, we have asked the Falcons to continue to refrain from taking action pending a decision by the (NFL)commissioner."

From dog devouring to dog fighting: When Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted on charges related to dog fighting, oh man did I have an angry vegan moment: If this self-important, pampered star athlete were to be found guilty, I wanted him locked in a cage with a few dozen of the pit bulls he tortured and, welllet nature take its course. In retrospect, there might be a silver lining amid all this brutality and arrogance. Shining a light on the secretiveyet not small by any meansdog fighting community could be a small first step in creating the kind of popular groundswell needed to end this barbaric sport [sic] and Im not just talking about the NFL.

Dear Congressman: ( Click Proceed to this site. )
I want to personally invite you to see a new riveting documentary, NO END IN SIGHT, which chronicles the reasons behind Iraq's descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy - the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military - largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.
By examining the mistakes of the Bush administration, you can help guide Congress in choosing the correct course of action.
NO END IN SIGHT is now playing at the E Street Cinema in Washington DC and across the country. Click here for a full theatre list – http://www.noendinsightmovie.com/?theatres
