Obama gets first taste of Oval Office
By Andrew Ward in Washington
Published: November 10 2008 18:29 | Last updated:
November 10 2008 18:29
(1) Barack Obama stepped inside the Oval Office for the first
time on Monday during a visit to the White House for talks
with George W. Bush, outgoing president. It has long been a
tradition for the president to invite his successor to the White
House before leaving office, but this year’s meeting promised
to be more substantive than usual given the urgent economic
challenges awaiting the new administration.
(2) Dana Perino, White House press secretary, refused to be
drawn on the agenda, but it was widely assumed the financial
crisis and broader economic malaise would be a central focus.
(3) The topics One likely issue for discussion are likely to include
the terms for a proposed second economic stimulus package that
Mr Obama has urged Congress to pass before he takes office.
(4) Mr Bush has signalled his willingness to consider
another stimulus – on top of the $150bn (•118bn, £96bn) of
tax relief earlier this year – to shore up the economy.
(5) But Bush officials say the president wants the
Democratic-controlled Congress to drop its opposition to
the proposed US free trade deal with Colombia in return for
him approving further stimulus measures.
Rahm Emanuel, appointed last week as Mr Obama’s chief of
staff, indicated on Sunday that his new boss would resist
any attempt by Mr Bush to force through the Colombia deal.
(6) In another potential flashpoint between the president and
president-elect, Mr Emanuel also voiced support for
Democratic efforts to extend government support to the ailing
US car industry in spite of resistance from the White House.
(7) Despite the potential for conflict, both Mr Bush and Mr Obama
have stressed their willingness to work together in a bipartisan
fashion during the transition phase since the latter beat John
McCain, the Republican candidate, in last week’s election.
(8) Looking ahead to yesterday’s meeting, Mr Obama said:
“I’m going to go in there with a spirit of bipartisanship, and
a sense that both the president and various leaders of
Congress all recognise the severity of the situation right
now and want to get stuff done.”
(9) Mr Obama harshly attacked Mr Bush and his “failed”
policies throughout the campaign, but the president has
shown no signs of taking the criticism to heart.
(10) In his statement after the election, Mr Bush lauded Mr
Obama’s win as “a triumph of the American story, a testament
to hard work, optimism and faith in the enduring promise of
our nation”.
(11) Mr Obama has visited the White House in the past, but
on Monday marked his first time inside the oval-shaped
office that he will inherit in just over two months.
(12) The two men were expected to meet alone, allowing a candid
discussion about the demands of the job and the pressing issues
Mr Obama will face when he takes office on January 20.
(13) The meeting came as aides to Mr Obama made clear the
president-elect was planning to move swiftly to revoke a
series of Bush administration policies once in office.
(14) “There’s a lot that the president can do using his executive
authority without waiting for congressional action,” said John
Podesta, co-chair of the Obama transition team. “I think he
feels like he has a real mandate for change. We need to get off
the course that the Bush administration has set.”
The suffix “-ship” appears in “bipartisanship” (p. 8).
The only word that also forms a noun ending in “-ship” is:

City hall braces for busy marriage day
If love is all you need, you’ll want for nothing in New York Thursday.
The folks who hand out marriage licenses are bracing for what could be their busiest day ever as Valentine’s Day romantics head to the aisle.
“When we are really busy, we have a second chapel we can open,” said First Deputy City Clerk Michael McSweeney. “We are preparing to do that. We’re expecting a lot of couples.”
City Hall’s unofficial record of 318 weddings on that date was set on Valentine’s Day 2002 - also on a Thursday.
And love is definitely in the air Thursday.
Melanie and Joseph Castine married on Valentine’s Day 10 years ago. Today, they’re renewing their vows in the same venue - the Empire State Building.
The couple, who recently moved from Roosevelt Island to Philadelphia, won a letter-writing competition with Brides.com to become one of 14 pairs tying the knot in the iconic building.
“Valentine’s Day is just the perfect day to do it,” said Melanie Castine, who, with her hubby, has been at the skyscraper every year to mark their anniversary.
“Everywhere you go in Manhattan, you can see the Empire State Building. It’s a constant reminder of our marriage. We call it our chapel in the sky.”
Meanwhile, love is being put on ice at one of the city’s most romantic spots.
Rockefeller Center is preparing to clear its rink at 8 p.m for a skater planning to get down on one knee for a surprise engagement.
“It’s a big surprise for her, but we’re sure it’s going to be extremely romantic,” a rink spokeswoman said.

Paulo César Nóbrega is one of 40 milion people living with HIV/AIDS. This is story:
Like most young people of my generation, I started using drugs as an adolescent. By the time I was 16, I was taking cannabis, hallucinogens and injecting drugs. Soon, my addiction led me to drug trafficking. Between 1985 and 1993, I was imprisoned in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, where I was diagnosed HIV-positive.
Initially, I was shocked. But I didn't really know what HIV or AIDS were, which is why I continued using drugs and sharing needles with other inmates. We received no guidance or preventive care.
In prison, AIDS first manifested itself through tuberculosis, an illness I suffered from three times. Although I was eventually given anti-retroviral medicines, I continued taking drugs and only restarted the treatment in earnest after abandoning drugs for good in 1999.
At that time, I was a member of a support group in my hometown, the coastal city of São Vicente, and was close to other HIV-positive people. We soon decided to establish the Hipupiara NGO to promote a sense of unity among people living with HIV and to improve their quality of life.
Unfortunately, I suffered a lot of prejudice for being HIV-positive, including from members of my family. I was also denied jobs. Then, in 2001, I started working as a fisherman, a job I retired from in 2005, at 50, due to poor health.
Today, I am free of drugs and am sticking to the treatment. I work as a volunteer for Hipupiara, contacting drug users in the city and referring them to treatment and assistance services.
Thanks to all the information I have accumulated about HIV/AIDS, I can now face and beat prejudice. People infected with HIV and drug users should not close up or avoid talking about their problems; we should help each other so that we can all lead a better life.

Michael R. Bloomberg is the 108th Mayor of the City of
New York. He was born on February 14, 1942 to middle class
parents in Medford, Massachusetts, where his father was the
bookkeeper at a local dairy. Mayor Bloomberg's thirst for
information and fascination with technology was evident at an
early age, and led him to Johns Hopkins University, where he
parked cars and took out loans to finance his education. After
his college graduation, he gained an MBA from Harvard and in
the summer of 1966, he was hired by Salomon Brothers to work
on Wall Street.
He quickly advanced through the ranks, and became a
partner in 1972. Soon after, he was supervising all of Salomon's
stock trading, sales and later, its information systems. He was
fired in 1981 after another company acquired Salomon. Michael
Bloomberg used his stake from the Salomon sale to start his
...39... company, an endeavor that would revolutionize the way
that Wall Street ....40.... business. As a young trader, he had been
amazed at the archaic nature in which information was stored.
When he needed to see how a stock had been trading three
weeks earlier, he had to find a copy of the Wall Street Journal
from the date in question, and the records system consisted of
clerks penciling trades in oversize ledgers. ...41... , he created a
financial information computer that would collect and analyze
different combinations of past and present securities data and
deliver it immediately to the user.
In 1982, Bloomberg LP sold 20 subscriptions to its
service; 20 years ....42... , Bloomberg LP has over 165,000
subscribers worldwide. As the business proved its viability, the company branched out and in 1990 Bloomberg LP entered the
media business, launching a news service, and then radio,
television, Internet, and publishing operations.
Nearly 20 years after its founding, Bloomberg LP now
employs more than 8,000 people − including 2,500 in New York
City − in more than 100 offices worldwide. As the company
enjoyed tremendous growth, Michael Bloomberg dedicated more
of his time and energy to philanthropy and civic affairs. His
desire to improve education, advance medical research and
increase access to the arts, has provided the motivation for
much of his philanthropy.
The Mayor served as the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of Johns Hopkins University until May 2002. Recently,
he was honored by Johns Hopkins University, when its School of
Hygiene and Public Health was renamed "The Bloomberg
School of Public Health," a tribute to his leadership and use of
philanthropy to improve the human ....43... .
In 1997, Michael Bloomberg published his autobiography,
Bloomberg by Bloomberg. All of the royalties from sales of the
book are donated to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
