Express oat milk
Oat milk is an amazing vegan alternative to milk. First of all, it's ridiculously tasty. Second, it contains nutrients and fiber. And finally: it's so easy to make at home!
Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)
Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!

A brand new World Cup 4-Cross track at Mont Ste Anne yielded victories for Anneke Beerten (Suspension Center) and Jared Graves (Yeti Fox Shox Factory Race Team) Saturday evening in the sixth round of the World Cup circuit.
The real miracle of the evening was the absence of rain. Higher on the mountain, the clouds were thick and it was quite obviously raining. However, thanks to the wind coming from the ocean, the clouds weren't able to come low enough to affect things. So it was all left up to the course.
The new course is winning high praise from almost all the riders, with Graves saying: "It is ready for the Worlds next year, I wouldn't change a thing." There are, of course, the usual rollers, berms and massive jumps, but there is also a rock garden, and other large rocks out on the track. As Beerten said yesterday, it truly is more "mountain bikey" than most of the 4-Cross courses.
The other pleasure this evening was a highly efficient organization, which permitted the entire race to be concluded in less than an hour. A tip of the hat from all concerned to Gestev, the event organizers.
In an event that is often hampered by a lack of participants it was great to see 12 women racers and three full rounds of racing. The main contenders were Beerten, former World Champion and World Cup leader Jill Kintner, and current World Champion Melissa Buhl (KHS). However, a number of crashes ultimately had an effect on the outcome.
Buhl was one of the victims of a crash in the semi finals. She came back to win the small final for the evening securing a fifth place overall. This set up a final of Beerten, Kintner, Fionn Griffiths (Norco World Team) and Joanna Petterson. Early in the final, Kintner crashed about halfway down and got up quickly only to crash again lower on the course. Griffiths followed Beerten in for second place, with Petterson in third as Kintner limped in for fourth, losing her World Cup lead.
Beerten assumed the World Cup lead with her win. "This course is really technical and quite difficult. It has a lot of mountain bike features in it, especially with the little bit of rain we had today which made it slippery. It was a really fun course to ride. I like the more downhill style courses, so this was maybe a little better for me. I love riding this track. Gates have been so important for me to improve on and I was so focused on the final. I was surprised and happy with this one. I'm back in the lead but the points are so close its all going to come down to the final."
Kintner was clearly disappointed. "We came out of the gate pretty even. We banged bars on the first straight and she got a little ahead. So I decided to hang back a little bit and wait until I could get by. Then my front wheel just washed out in one of the corners and that was it. I couldn't get my foot clipped back in and I crashed again. I can't catch a break here. I either win or I crash."
Canada had one woman in the event, Anne Laplante. Laplante challenged Anita Molcik right to the finish in the first round for second, but just lost out.
Jared Graves took his fourth World Cup victory of the year, and clinched the men's title with two rounds still remaining. His win was doubly impressive after a flat tire in the quarter final round had him sprinting down over half the course to still finish second - which was upgraded to first after heat winner Mickal Prokop was disqualified for cutting a corner. Except for that mishap, Graves was perfect all evening.
World champion Rafael Alvarez de Lara Lucas (Specialized) took second, with Tomas Slavik third and Roger Rinderknecht (GT Bicycles) fourth after crashing in the final. Dan Atherton (Animal-Commencal) took the small final for the fifth podium spot.
Rinderknecht continues to hold second in the overall standings, and was likely to give Graves a run for his money until the crash. "I was going well right until the finals, but unfortunately I crashed. But I was still able to get fourth so I've still got a strong standing. I think that this was one of the best courses this year. Big banked turns. Rocks. It had everything."
National champion Hans Lambert (Norco) was Canada's only men's entry, and crashed out in the first round with Daisuke Kurowsawa, who was disqualified.

Negotiations between HDNet and DREAM have ended in a deal to bring live events to the cable network.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) earlier reported, the Japanese promotion had been in talks to partner with HDNet for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.
Today, HDNet announced that DREAM.17, which takes place Sept. 24 at Saitama Arena in Saitama, Japan, is set to air live on the network.
Additionally, the network is set to air the preliminary card of "Strikeforce Grand Prix: Barnett vs. Kharitonov," which takes place Saturday at Cincinnati's U.S. Bank Arena, as well as Titan Fighting Championship 20 and Legacy Fighting Championship 8.
The DREAM announcement is great news for stateside fans of Japanese MMA. Tape-delayed airings of DREAM's two most recent shows were due to the fact that the promotion, which encountered serious financial difficulties in 2010 and much of 2011, had not yet decided to forge ahead with live events. By the time it did, live programming was no longer an option on the premium cable channel, DREAM's U.S. representative Mike Kogan previously told MMAjunkie.com.
However, HDNet said it's commitment to airing live MMA remains as strong as ever.
"No other network comes close to this kind of live coverage – four events in two weeks," stated HDNet Fights CEO Andrew Simon in a prepared release. "We're definitely proud to bring these fights to our viewers – we'll even circle the globe to do it!"
DREAM.17 features the quarterfinal round of an eight-man world bantamweight grand prix, as well as lightweight champion Shinya Aoki vs. Rob McCullough and Kazuhiro Nakamura vs. Gerald Harris.
The event is the promotion's first to utilize the bout format favored by American promoters. The fights will feature three, five-minute rounds, as opposed to one 10-minute round followed by a second five-minute round.
For more on DREAM.17, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

(Pocket-lint) - The Z450 measures 96.9 x 57.6 x 21.4mm, average dimensions for a compact camera. It slips easily into a pocket, but isn't the slimmest camera out there. The design is rather plain and the mainly plastic construction of the body doesn't show off any obvious weaknesses - it doesn't wow like some of the metal-bodied rivals out there, but then you don't pay top-whack for it either.
The top plate offers the usual power, shutter and zoom controls, but an additional button that toggles the "make up" and "vivid landscape" effects hints at the sector of the market that this camera is aimed. We said the body didn't show any obvious weaknesses in its construction, well the zoom control encircling the shutter button is the exception here. A great deal of movement is present, so it feels sloppy to use and feels as though it might not last as long as you want it to.
The back of the Z450 offers a 3-inch, 230k-dot display with the remainder of the controls ranging down the right-hand side. There is the usual four-way controller with a central "set" button, which features shortcuts for the screen display icons and flash controls.
The left- and right-hand options on this controller are blank, but can be programmed to give you control over a range of settings including metering modes, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO and self-timer. It's a welcomed addition, although pressing the central "set" button gives you access to a shortcut menu with all these options on anyway, and the loss of the usual suspects (typically self-timer and macro mode) from this control means you have to hunt out the latter in the menu. Macro mode then only gives you 10cm focusing, which isn't particularly macro.
A BS (best shot) button gives you access to the normal scene modes, as well as the BS Auto mode which will attempt to recognise the scene and provide the best results. The level of control you get (through the shortcuts mentioned above or the menu key) varies depending on what you select. If you choose "Auto" (as opposed to BS Auto) you get the most control.
It is worth using the scene modes with caution and investigating the menus when you come to use a new scene. If you take a look in Portrait you find that there is a "make up" level applied, which you might not want if you prefer your subject to remain natural-looking.
There are a further three buttons on the rear of the camera, giving image playback, instant video record and a final camera button, which takes the Z450 to still shooting from any state, be it turned off, in the menus or wherever.
The instant video is a nice touch, but without a conventional "movie" mode, you find that the settings for the video capture are displayed on your regular display on the screen as one of the display settings. So you can either have no information, stills camera only, or the whole hog, including the movie mode (HD, STD, LP), the length of time you can record in that mode (a maximum of 10 minutes as M-JPEG) and a live histogram, all of which makes the display rather cluttered.
You get headline video capture at HD 720p, 24fps, which outdoors, in good light, gives you reasonably good results. But it gets very noisy indoors, even in daylight, and is very noisy in lower light conditions. Lower resolution settings are available, and you can shoot stills in the middle of video, but you end up with a jump in your movie.
The only connection on the Z450 is a bespoke AV/USB connection, which allows you to extract images via your PC, or connect to your TV with the supplied cable. This is only at standard quality, so if you want to view your HD video, you'll have to have some other means of getting it to your TV.
The lens is a 4x zoom, offering you 28-112mm (35mm equiv), which deploys from the body in about 2 seconds to be ready to take your first shot. The wide angle shows some signs of barrel distortion as you'd expect, but it isn't too drastic. Sitting under the hood is a 12-megapixel sensor.
The Z450 comes with the boast of improved intelligent focusing, although we still found a number of test shots where focusing wasn't great. Generally though, results are good, with good natural colour reproduction. The biggest problem the Z450 seems to be faced with though is sensor noise as the ISO increases.
At the lowest ISO settings images are noise free, but noise is obvious at ISO 400 and intrusive at settings above this. The top setting - ISO 3200 - looks as though someone has smeared oil across the lens, the results even look poor on the 3-inch display, so is best avoided. Image stabilisation is present and seems to be effective enough, providing greater scope for hand-holding longer exposures where you might be tempted to use a higher ISO.
The flash gives a range of options too, with the soft flash worth a try with some darker indoor shots. We found that red eye was something of a problem with the standard flash and the red eye correction is overly aggressive, although if you are mostly going to keep your shots small, or use them for the likes of Facebook, then that probably won't be an issue.
Digging into the menus you'll find more options than you might expect, such as continuous shooting options, including a 10fps mode, although this is captured at 1 megapixel with the 4fps mode, at 2 megapixels. There is a lot hiding in the menus, perhaps too much, as the chances are you won't go looking for these things.
Writing images to the SD card is a little on the slow side, especially when you employ some of the additional effects, for example the "make up" mode. The SD card hides in the bottom next to the battery - with a boasted 550 image life-span. We didn't set out to disprove this, but after about 200 shots and some video, it was still showing as fully charged.
The Z450 isn't that exciting though. From the design, to the handling of the on-screen icons, it feels a step behind some of the other players in this market. The dubious quality of the zoom ring was a cause of concern for us, something that rivals have no problem with.
Overall, the results from the camera are pleasing enough in good conditions, but the lower light performance is poor - the headline HD video capture suffers from the same problem. A range of options do give some creative scope, but this camera is mostly pitched to those wanting a simple point and shoot with a few fun features.
Online discounts are starting to make the Z450 more appealing over the RRP of £199, which is a little on the high side.

Why Cloth Diapers?
Cloth diapers save money! Guess what? Disposable diapers are expensive. How much money you will actually save depends on what you are comparing. If you use the estimate that a disposable diaper costs 36 cents and your baby is in diapers for 2-3 years you'll easily spend over $1000 in just one year of diapering. Depending on which cloth diapering system you purchase, how many diapers you get and how many children you use those diapers on – you could spend as little as $100-300 to cloth diaper one child from birth through potty training. There is no exact calculation here though because of the varying cost of disposables and cloth diapers. One family may only spend $50 on cloth diapers by purchasing them secondhand; while another family may spend $500 on cloth diapers and only have to do laundry once a week. However you look at it though – cloth diapering will save you money. Want to save even more? Don't forget to check out our rewards program where you can earn free coupons for purchases!
Cloth diapers are eco-friendly! Disposable diapers are destined for the landfill where they will sit for over 500 years. Now consider the fact that the average baby will need about 6,000 diaper changes until they are potty trained – that's a lot of diapers sitting in a landfill – for ONE baby! Yes, it can be argued that cloth diapers cause their own impact to the environment due to the amount of water needed to launder them but I still argue that the impact is far less than disposables. Remember that a disposable is made from petroleum, probably produced overseas, travel a long way to get to you, and require even more gas and waste to get to their final resting place in the landfill. With cloth diapers you can at least feel good knowing that when your child is potty trained those diapers can be reused by another child.
Cloth diapers are gentle and non-toxic! Do you want to know what ingredients are used to make a disposable diaper? Depending on the brand of disposable diaper purchased they may contain dioxin, sodium polyacrylate, dyes, fragrances, plastics, tolulene, xylene, ethlbenzene, and other cancer causing toxins. Your child is in a diaper full time for 2-3 years and that's a lot of chemical exposure for their little bodies. Exposure to these chemicals can also cause diaper rash. By choosing cloth diapers you are limiting your child's exposure to these toxic chemicals. Some of the most gently diapering options include organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo fabrics. Bonus – cloth diapers are super soft and gentle on your little one, not scratchy and stiff like disposables.
Cloth diapers are easy! Yes, cloth diapers are really easy! With modern advances in cloth diapering you can put on a cloth diaper just as fast as you can a disposable. The easiest cloth diapers to use are all-in-one diapers with aplix (hook & loop) closures, but really once you get started they are all pretty easy to use.
Cloth diapers are cute! Have you seen all the adorable colors and prints that you can find in cloth diapers? Monkeys, elephants, giraffe prints, abstract prints, embroidered diapers and bright colors in every color of the rainbow! Cloth diapers are so cute that you won't want to cover them with clothing.
Cloth diapers are fun! With all the fun prints you'll start coordinating outfits with your baby's diapers. A cute t-shirt with a diaper is really all your baby needs for the day! Pair that with a pair of baby legwarmers and you can go anywhere.
Cloth diapers may be addicting! Maybe we shouldn't tell you this part, but cloth diapers are a little like shoes or handbags – you'll want to get the newest prints and continue trying new styles. We won't tell you how many diapers are in our child's drawers. Thankfully you can resell them after your child is potty trained or save them for future children.

Panasonic joins Smart Electric Lyon consortium
What is Smart Electric Lyon?
Smart Electric Lyon is a project that looks at electricity consumption as a key part of the building energy solutions of tomorrow. The project aims to develop a wide range of innovative facilities and services through real-life experiments to test energy saving technologies and to measure how consumers can control energy consumption. This experiment, unprecedented in scale in Europe, will be conducted for four years in more than 25,000 homes, businesses and communities of Grand Lyon. It is intended to test innovative solutions that will consume less and better.
Panasonic will provide the project with a variety of its energy efficient heating and cooling products, including the Aquarea Air Source Heat Pump – a super-efficient system for providing heating and / or cooling facilities, as well as the production of domestic hot water. These heat pumps are especially equipped with connectivity solutions from Panasonic to ensure the systems are easy to use, and collect the vital, accurate data. The company will also integrate other home equipment solutions such as LED white lighting products to optimize the overall energy management of the project's properties.
This project is particularly apt for Panasonic, as heating and hot water occupy a prominent place in household energy consumption. Panasonic plans to make its European and French resources available for Smart Electric Lyon. The company has involved for the project a dedicated and experienced R&D team from Panasonic's European technical centre in Frankfurt.
Eco & smart ideas for a sustainable lifestyle
Panasonic aims to be the No. 1 Green Innovation Company in the Electronics Industry by 2018. We will make the environment central to all our business activities and work to realize our vision with innovations for both every day life and business.
The Panasonic Smart Heat Pump System
Panasonic has unveiled an innovative and intelligent approach to home energy management, designed to REDUCE pressure on the energy grid by developing systems that only draw power during LOW PEAK times, saving energy costs for the homeowner, and saving unnecessary use of peak time energy for utility companies.
Aquarea heat pumps on YouTubeWatch the videos
Renewable energy systems have developed significantly over recent years, but now the grid has to 'get smart' (see grid image below) as society requires more energy, more often. Intelligent electricity networks – Smart Grids – are a key component in the EU energy strategy. In the last few years, Smart Grid projects have been growing in number, size and scope throughout Europe.
Panasonic is currently developing a system which combines the benefits of air source heat pump technology (harnessing free heat from the air), solar power and the intelligence of smart meters, with the company's simple yet effective control solutions to work in conjunction with the energy grid for a green revolution.
With a wealth of experience in energy storage (battery), solar panels (HIT), smart metering and heat pump technology, Panasonic is ideally placed to bring all these technologies together to provide a very real solution to the problem of sustainable electricity supply. Panasonic is working with the E.ON Energy Research Centre at RWTH Aachen University to test the performance of this new concept. RWTH Aachen has achieved global recognition in several fields of engineering and science, such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, computer science, physics and chemistry, and is considered as one of the best German university in these fields.
- Performance-testing at the University of Aachen: Panasonic's Smart Heat Pump System features a new algorithm to manage power supply for the home's energy management system Extremely energy efficient heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water supply
- Extremely energy efficient heat pump for heating, cooling and hot water supply
- Designed to work intelligently with smart grids
If a significant number of households take advantage of this type of technology and install an intelligent solution such as Panasonic's Smart Heat Pump – taking energy only from the national power supply grid during low peak times, an efficient and intelligent use of energy – more old-style, fossil-fuelled power plants could be decommissioned, improving the planet's atmosphere and significantly reducing carbon emissions.
Exemplary sustainable projects

SafeOx Login
SafeOx are chlorine dioxide (ClO2) technology specialists leading the development of safe, environmentally friendly chlorine dioxide based delivery technologies for use across a diverse range of industry sectors. Our advanced chlorine dioxide products and technical solutions offer significant cost, safety, environmental and operational performance benefits over traditional chlorine dioxide delivery methods and are now used extensively across a range of industry sectors including food and beverage processing, healthcare, marine and off-shore, potable water treatment, ultrapure water, reverse osmosis, wastewater treatment; and water and environmental hygiene.
Chlorine Dioxide
Chlorine dioxide is a highly potent, fast acting bactericide and virucide at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppm. It does not form toxic by-products, is effective over a wide pH range in both hard and soft water; and does not react with most other water treatment chemicals and so leaves no residual toxicity. It will eliminate both planktonic and sessile bacteria, disinfect surfaces and rapidly destroy problematic biofilm. With minimal contact time, it is highly effective against many pathogenic organisms including bacterial spores, Legionella, Tuberculosis, MRSA, VRE, Listeria, Salmonella, amoebal cysts, Giardia cysts, E. coli, Cryptosporidium and more. Importantly, chlorine dioxide also destroys biofilm so bacterial re-growth is significantly impeded.
Advanced Chlorine Dioxide Technology
SafeOx offer a range of advanced chlorine dioxide delivery technologies developed to provide several key performance benefits over traditional delivery solutions including cost, convenience, health and safety, operational performance and environmental impact. Our advanced products include chlorine dioxide liquids, powders, tablets, generators and analysis equipment.
Chlorine Dioxide Liquid
SafeOx II-L is an advanced two component liquid system developed to allow operators to quickly create a high purity solution of chlorine dioxide without the need for generators or specialist equipment.

WISN 12 News Investigates: Loophole for religious groups costing taxpayers
A WISN 12 News investigation exposes tax exemptions claimed by some religious organizations that raise questions of good faith. WISN 12 News investigative reporter Colleen Henry reveals the cost to taxpayers.
VIDEO: Tax exemptions for religious use questioned
WISN 12 News spoke to a man, who wishes not to be identified, who wrote rent checks for months to a woman he knew as a co-worker.
After a rather ugly eviction, he looked up the property record and found out the home was owned by Calvary Hill Temple Apostolic Faith Church Inc.
Calvary Hill rents space from another church in Brown Deer, yet has tax-exempt status for the duplex from the city of Milwaukee.
Henry found that the man's co-worker, Jeanetta Parker-Perry, at home in the lower level of the duplex. She drives a bus for the same company as her former tenant.
But she is also listed as a pastor at Calvary Hill, and said she rented the upper portion of the duplex to be charitable.
"The money goes to the church," she said.
State law does allow for churches to avoid property taxes on homes where their pastors and ministers live, but not on properties that are rented out.
Henry found a tax-exempt property owned by Word of Faith Ministries. It was rented out, and the renter's daughter said her mother did not work for the church.
"She just pays rent to the church to the pastor himself," she said.
When approached by WISN 12 News, the pastor showed his tax-exempt application and offered an explanation, saying "So long as we use part of the income for rehab of the property, then it's not taxable."
Milwaukee's city assessor said that's wrong.
"It doesn't matter how you use the rent," Mary Reavey said. "The fact is it's not being used for an exempt purpose."
Reavey said churches do not have to pay taxes on homes where their ordained ministers live, or where they do outreach. However, they can not collect rent if they're taking the tax break on the property.
But WISN 12 News found that that rule is not vigorously enforced.
"So this is basically the honor system?" Henry asked of the Assessors Office.
"Well, it's a little bit of the honor system, I guess," Reavey said.
Reavy said there are at least $5.5 billion in non-governmental exemptions on the city's books -- 25 percent of Milwaukee's assessed property. Exempt properties including nonprofits, churches and religiously-affiliated hospitals.
Reavey believes most churches follow the rules, but said every exemption is picked up by the city's taxpayers.
"It's the principle of the thing," she said. "If you're not exempt, then you should be paying your fair share like everybody else."
Reavey said she will send investigators to the properties WISN 12 News uncovered, stating that if they churches owe taxes, they will have to pay up.
Current law limits the city to collecting up to two years worth of back taxes on such properties.

Missing Florida Millionaire's Wife Asked for Divorce Hours Before Disappearance
Guma Aguiar's mother and wife are battling over his $100 million in assets.
June 25, 2012 -- Troubled missing millionaire Guma Aguiar's wife told him she wanted a divorce just hours before he vanished from his fishing boat, the lawyer for Aguiar's mother told ABCNews.com today.
It was the latest twist in a mystery that has sparked a vicious tug-of-war between his wife and mother over control of Aguiar's $100 million estate.
Aguiar's disappearance has triggered a barrage of rapid fire legal filings by his mother and wife over the last few days, with the wife filing counter documents today seeking control of her husband's estate.
It was the third legal filing since Aguiar, 35, vanished last Wednesday when his 31-foot fishing boat washed up on a Fort Lauderdale beach with the engine running and lights on, but with no sign of its Brazilian-born owner.
The U.S. Coast Guard and multiple police agencies launched a search for Aguiar, but the Coast Guard search suspended their search last Thursday night.
Documents filed last week by his mother to secure control of her son's assets suggest that the Aguiar may be alive and in a "delusional state or be suffering from psychosis."
But today a lawyer for Aguiar's mother Ellen Aguiar suggested that the millionaire was in a despondent mood when he got onto his boat last week.
"An hour before he got on his boat, the wife told Guma she wanted a divorce," attorney Richard Baron told ABCNews.com. "I'm of the belief that that's what pushed him over the deep end. He loved his wife. He did not want a divorce."
Court records show that Guma Aguiar filed for divorce from Jamie Aguiar in July 2011, but the couple did not go through with the divorce.
"I'm hoping he's alive," Baron said. "I'm hoping he does get divorced. She's shown her true colors."
Baron said that Ellen Aguiar spoke to her son and hour before he got on his 31-foot fishing boat the T.T. Zion and sailed off.
"She thinks he went off the deep end and got on the boat depressed [and then] jumped, fell or is somewhere clinging to life," Baron said. "A mother's optimism knows no bounds. She's not thinking the worst."
The assets include $65 million in bank assets, $35 million in Israeli real estate, the $5 million Florida home he shares with his family, and seven cars and a yacht valued at over $3 million.
Court documents filed today by attorneys for Ellen Aguiar and obtained by ABCNews.com say that Guma Aguiar's property is in "imminent danger" of being "wasted, misappropriated, or lost" by his wife Jamie Aguiar unless immediate action is taken to preserve the status quo.
The document alleges that his wife Jamie Aguiar fired Aguiar & Associates' CFO "without any reason or justification whatsoever and without a majority vote for the remaining officers to do so."
It also claims that his wife contacted the chairman of the board of Hapoel Jerusalem, a basketball team owned by Guma Aguiar, and instructed him to take no further action with the team, including paying the salaries of employees.
"The Absentee's Wife has taken such actions without court order, without power of attorney, and without any other authority to do so," the document states.
Jamie Aguiar's agent Suzanne Faulkner has been acting on her behalf and executing these actions, according to the document. Faulkner did not respond to request for comment.
The court document was an amended version of a document filed last week by Ellen Aguiar with the Broward County Circuit Court in which she filed to become the conservator or temporary guardian of Aguiar's estate. Following backlash from her daughter-in-law, Aguiar filed for money management company Northern Trust to gain control.
"She doesn't want to be in a dispute with her daughter-in-law," Ellen Aguiar's attorney Richard Baron told ABCNews.com. "This is not about power or greed. It's just about preserving the status quo. All she wants to do is find her son and get the conservatorship to protect the assets and her family."
Court documents show that just last month, on May 11, Guma Aguiar had amended his declaration designating primary guardianship over his personal property "in the event of my incapacity" from his wife Jamie Aguiar to his mother.
Jamie Aguiar's attorney condemned Ellen Aguiar's original filing for conservatorship.
"She files motions in courts trying to take over everything while the divers are still out looking for Guma's body," attorney Bill Scherer told the Associated Press. "It's bizarre."
He said that Ellen Aguiar's attempts to gain control of the estate have added to the family's stress about the disappearance.
"[Jamie Aguiar is] hoping that he's had another mental breakdown and that he's out there somewhere and will come walking back when he gets himself stabilized," Scherer told the AP.
Bill Scherer did not respond to request for comment from ABCNews.com today. Baron denounced Scherer's comments.
"For him to say that [Ellen Aguiar] was on a money grab or that was she did was wrong was outrageous," Baron said, insisting that his client is simply trying to "do what Guma would have wanted" and "stop the fighting."
The devoutly Jewish Aguiar is known for being the main sponsor for an elite Israeli soccer team and making multi-million dollar charitable gifts to Jewish organizations, he has also had a number of personal transgressions.
He has been arrested several times, including for drug possession and driving under the influence, according to court records. He is also currently on probation after pleading no contest to domestic violence charges.
In 2010, he was involuntarily admitted to an Israeli psychiatric hospital after his erratic behavior.
Aguiar made his fortune in 2006 when he and his uncle Thomas Kaplan sold their Texas-based energy company for a reported $2.5 billion. The two have been in a messy legal battle since 2009 over the division of the money.
They went on to say that he was the victim of what amounted to "psychological terrorism."
In 2011, he was appointed an emergency guardian after his wife and mother petitioned a Miami-Dade judge for one.
The couple has four children, the youngest of whom is 10 months old. They also have a 3-year-old son, a 4-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son.
A hearing on Thursday at the Broward County court has been scheduled to appoint conservatorship.

An idiot's guide to Coachella bands
So you have your Coachella outfits perfectly planned and a roster full of parties to attend at this (or next) weekend's Coachella. But what do you do if someone asks you about the actual music?
Don't panic. We're here to help.
Here's a guide to some noteworthy bands you should know. Whether you just need the name of one song or some extra details to fit in with the bespectacled music snobs, we have you covered.
Bat for Lashes
Remedial: A British singer/songwriter with a flair for melancholy yet upbeat songs like "Daniel." She often gets compared to Bjork, PJ Harvey, Cat Power and Kate Bush.
101: Bat for Lashes is the stage name and solo project of Natasha Khan, a former art school student. Her music is beloved by critics and is constantly being nominated for things like the Brit Awards and the prestigious Mercury Prize.
AP: Bat for Lashes uses strong visuals and infuses complex concepts to her albums. "Two Suns," for example, is about Khan and her desert-born, hedonistic alter ego Pearl. And the cover for "The Haunted Man" features Khan naked with a nude man slung over her shoulders.
Coachella performances: 5:10 p.m. April 13 and 20, Mojave tent. (NG)
Beach House
Remedial: Despite their sunshiny name, this ethereal-sounding duo from Baltimore, Maryland is the kind of mellow music to listen to during nocturnal hours.
101: French-born Victoria Legrand sings and plays organ/keyboard; Baltimore native Alex Scally plays guitar and keyboard. On tour, you'll see Daniel Franz on drums and percussion.
AP: They performed at Coachella in 2010 and have since released their latest critically-acclaimed album "Bloom". Victoria Legrand is the niece of French composer Michel Legrand.
Coachella performances: 8:15 p.m. April 12 and 19, Outdoor Theatre stage (MD)
Dog Blood
Remedial: New side project from Grammy award-winning dubstep producer Skrillex and Boys Noize, a respected bass-heavy electronic producer from Germany.
101: The first Dog Blood track, "New Order," instantly reached the number one spot on Beatport's techno top 10 list. It's a dirty house sound with a dark, electro-metal edge. Most recently the duo performed at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Expect new Dog Blood beats to premiere Friday night in the Sahara tent.
AP: Skrillex and Boys Noize began collaborating last summer in Berlin. Boys Noize, real name Alex Ridha, was named one of the Top 10 DJs Who Rule The Earth by Rolling Stone in 2012. The same year, Sonny Moore, AKA Skrillex, took home his first three Grammy awards, followed by another trio in 2013. Before his dubstep days, Moore was the lead singer in post-hardcore band From First to Last.
Coachella performances: 7:40 p.m. April 12 and 19, Sahara tent (MG)
Latest headlines: Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival
Father John Misty
Remedial: A beautiful and reflective indie folk singer from the Pacific Northwest. His best known song is "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" and the video stars Aubrey Plaza.
101: Father John Misty's actual name is J. Tillman and he used to play drums in Fleet Foxes. "Fear Fun" is his debut album as Father John Misty.
AP: Tillman was a solo artist long before Fleet Foxes. He released several albums and toured with Damien Jurado, earning a reputation for his yearning sad songs in the vein of Nick Drake.
Coachella performances: 7:40 p.m. April 14 and 21, Gobi tent (NG)
Local Natives
Remedial: Four indie rockers hailing from Silver Lake. They make dreamy beach sounds with dark undertones and vocal harmonies that soar, taking you along for the ride.
101: After the release of their 2009 debut album "Gorilla Manor," they launched onto international tours opening for Arcade Fire, The National and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Their latest album "Hummingbird" was co-produced with Aaron Dessner of The National. The big difference between the two albums is their split with bassist Andy Hamm.
AP: The song "Columbia" from "Hummingbird" was written in memory of keyboardist Kelcey Ayer's mom, who passed away in 2011. "Airplanes," an earlier song that riveted the indie pop scene in 2009, was also written as an ode to Ayer's late grandfather.
Coachella performances: 7 p.m. April 12 and 19, Outdoor Theatre stage (MD)
Tame Impala
Remedial: A fuzzed-out Australian band that channels everything trippy about the late 1960s. "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" is especially Beatlesesque.
101: Tame Impala is essentially the musical project of Perth musician, Kevin Parker. He formed the band when he was a teen, writing and recording much of the songs in his home. Thanks to MySpace, the teen garage band got international attention.
AP: There was a bidding war to sign the band in the late 2000s, but Parker and the rest of Tame Impala stuck with the Australian-based Modular because it was the label that first showed interest.
Coachella performances: 6:25 p.m. April 14 and 21, Outdoor Theatre stage. (NG)
Theophilus London
Remedial: Fresh face in the new wave of hip-hop music. 26-year-old Trinidad-born songwriter, rapper raised in Brooklyn, New York. The song to know: "Humdrum Town."
101: On his debut EP Lovers Holiday, released in '11, London featured Solange Knowles, Sara Quinn (Tegan and Sara) and Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio), among others. It's described as a genre-bending approach to hip-hop, with soul-pop, R&B and electronic influences. He is currently working on a new full album.
AP: Though new to the rap game, London is already bringing in big endorsement deals like Cole Haan, Stussy and Bing. Karl Lagerfeld photographed London for his book "My Little Black Jacket."
Coachella performances: 1:20 p.m. April 13 and 20, Coachella main stage (MG)
Vampire Weekend
Remedial: Four preppy New York City boys who dabble in Afro-pop inspired sounds and rhythms.
101: The band met while finishing up at Columbia University in 2006. They self-produced their debut album just after graduating from the Ivy League school, showcased best in their hit single, "Oxford Comma."
AP: Their third studio album "Modern Vampires of the City" is scheduled to release on May 14, 2013. Lead singer Ezra Koenig described it as "very much the last of a trilogy" in an interview with Q magazine.
Coachella performances: 7:20 p.m. April 14 and 21, Coachella stage (MD)
Wu-Tang Clan
Remedial: Rap group out of Staten Island, New York, emerged in the early '90s with "Protect Ya Kneck." The Wu rolls deep with nine original members: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, and Ol' Dirty Bastard.
101: "C.R.E.A.M.," a popular song off their 1993 debut album Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers; it's an acronym for cash rules everything around me. Method Man performs the full hook: "Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M./Get the money; dollar, dollar bill, y'all." Listen, memorize, practice, repeat.
AP: 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of 36 Chambers, a celebration worthy of a Wu-Tang reunion show. We lost Ol' Dirty Bastard to a drug overdose in '04, and there are rumors of an O.D.B. hologram, a la Tupac's digital resurrection of 2012. In January, the Clan announced a new album is in the works. For bonus street cred, educate yourself on Ghostface Killah's beef with Drake. Nahmeans?
Coachella performances: 9:15 p.m. April 14 and 21, Outdoor Theatre stage (MG)

The latest debate over downtown Annapolis could come with a serving of fried chicken and a side of Western fries.
City planning officials said this week that Royal Farms has expressed interest in moving into the former home of Stevens Hardware, at 142 Dock St. overlooking City Dock.
A Royal Farms spokesman said he couldn't confirm the company's interest, saying the company's director of real estate was out of the office. But Jon Arason, Annapolis planning director, said the company approached the city about the Stevens building about two months ago.
Bill Greenfield of Hyatt Commercial, leasing agent for the Stevens building, said he's fielded numerous calls from businesses interested in the property, which he called a "significant building on a high-profile corner."
He confirmed he has a tenant with a signed lease but wouldn't say who it is.
"I cannot disclose who the tenant is. It is a good tenant. Until we have approval, there's not much we can say right now," he said.
Arason said Royal Farms has sought to convince city officials that the store could be a delicatessen — not a convenience store, which is prohibited under the zoning designation where the building stands.
No formal applications have been filed with the city, but Arason said officials for Royal Farms have been trying to convince planners that a store could fit in the zone, called C2 Conservation Business District. That zoning allows for a variety of businesses — antiques stores, bakeries, coffee shops, hotels and offices among them — but not convenience stores, according to city code.
"If they're a convenience store, they can't even apply," Arason said.
Delicatessens, however, are allowed in the C2 zone, though the operator would need the city's Board of Appeals to approve a special exception, and certain rules would apply.
Arason said that as part of preliminary considerations, city employees have visited a Royal Farms store in College Park and plan to visit a Royal Farms in downtown Baltimore. The downtown Baltimore store, at Lombard and Light streets, includes a counter along the front windows with bar stool seating where customers drink their morning coffee and eat lunch. It's in a building that formerly was home to Burke's Restaurant from 1934 until 2010.
Alderman Joe Budge, who represents Annapolis' downtown area, said he's been considering whether Royal Farms would be a good fit ever since he heard from Arason that the company was interested in the Stevens building.
Budge said he has a hard time envisioning a Royal Farms that would not be a convenience store. But if the company can come up with a concept that works within the zoning restrictions, Budge said, Royal Farms has every right to apply.
That said, Royal Farms doesn't quite fit with the image of downtown Annapolis as an area filled with unusual shops and restaurants that attract both residents and tourists, said Budge, a Democrat.
"In downtown Annapolis, we would like to see stores that have some degree of distinction from your average run-of-the-mill chain store or mall store," he said. "Nobody is going to come to downtown Annapolis to see a Royal Farms when there are Royal Farms all over the place."
The downtown commercial area has a handful of chain businesses, including CVS, Jimmy John's and Subway on Main Street and Moe's Southwest Grill on Dock Street.
Royal Farms is headquartered in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood and has 153 stores in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Pennsylvania, including one over the Spa Creek Bridge from downtown Annapolis in the Eastport neighborhood.
Lara Fritts, CEO of the Annapolis Economic Development Corp., said she's been working with a potential tenant for the Stevens Hardware building but also declined to name the business.
Greenfield said he's fielded numerous inquiries from potential tenants — and from people who want to buy the building. But he said the Stevens family, which operated a hardware store in the historic building from 1934 until 2012, is not interested in selling.
The family closed Stevens Hardware in December after a 53-year-run at the corner of Dock and Randall streets, across the street from the Annapolis waterfront. The Maryland Historical Trust describes the Stevens building as "Victorian commercial," and said it was built circa 1880. The building is assessed for tax purposes at $1.42 million.

No, that's not David Beckham pushing Sienna Miller's daughter, Marlowe, around in a stroller. But it sure could be!
Miller, 31, was spotted sipping a coffee at a playground in Berlin Saturday with her 15-month-old daughter (with actor Tom Sturridge, 27) and a man who bears a striking resemblance to the soccer star.
The actress is in Germany to begin filming the new Vince Vaughn comedy Business Trip, about a struggling businessman who takes his team on a cross-country journey to win a contract.
Wonder how many double-takes onlookers did to see the actress with a man who appeared to be Becks …

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- The number of U.S. residential properties receiving at least one foreclosure filing jumped 21% in 2009 to a record 2.82 million, RealtyTrac, an online foreclosure marketplace, reported Thursday.
The report also showed that 2.21% of all U.S. housing units (1 in 45) received at least one foreclosure filing during the year, up from 1.84% in 2008, 1.03% in 2007 and 0.58% in 2006.
"As bad as the 2009 numbers are, they probably would have been worse if not for legislative and industry-related delays in processing delinquent loans," said James Saccacio, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac.
Saccacio said that monthly foreclosure filings peaked in July at 361,000, then declined for four months before rebounding in December. He said short-term factors, including trial loan modifications, state legislation extending the foreclosure process and an overwhelming volume of inventory clogging the foreclosure pipeline contributed to the second-half declines.
But "in the long term, a massive supply of delinquent loans continues to loom over the housing market, and many of those delinquencies will end up in the foreclosure process in 2010 and beyond, as lenders gradually work their way through the backlog," he said.
Nevada's foreclosure rate led the U.S. in 2009, with just over 10% of all housing units in the state being hit with some sort of proceeding. RealtyTrac includes default notices, scheduled foreclosure auctions and bank repossessions in its foreclosure data.
Despite its 44% leap in foreclosure activity from the end of 2008 to the end of 2009, Nevada's more recent numbers showed some signs of easing. Foreclosure activity in December increased 27% from the previous month but was still down 22% from December 2008. Fourth-quarter foreclosure activity was down 37% from the previous quarter thanks to substantial decreases in October and November.
Arizona registered the nation's second-highest state foreclosure rate in 2009, with slightly more than 6% of its housing units receiving at least one foreclosure filing during the year, and Florida ranked No. 3 with 5.93% of its housing units receiving at least one foreclosure filing during the year.
Just four states -- California, Florida, Arizona and Illinois -- accounted for more than half of the nation's 2009 total, with more than 1.4 million properties receiving a foreclosure filing.
A total of 632,573 California properties received a foreclosure filing in 2009, the nation's largest state foreclosure activity total, an increase of nearly 21% from 2008.
Vermont had by far the lowest foreclosure rate and the lowest absolute number of foreclosures, with only 143 filing reported, or 0.05% of its housing units. North Dakota was second best, with just 0.13% of its housing units receiving such a notice. West Virginia was the third best at 0.17%. South Dakota ranked fourth best, with 0.21%.
Another bright spot: Nine states -- Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Tennessee -- and the District of Columbia managed to bring their foreclosure rates down from 2008.

FEBRUARY 2, 2017, WASHINGTON – The Defense Department has launched mandatory training for eligible service members about their options under the blended retirement system nearly a year before that new system goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, Defense Department officials said.
"The new military retirement system is "one of the most significant changes to military pay and benefits that we've had over the past 70 years," said Anthony Kurta, who is performing the duties of under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
It's important that eligible service members know their options under the legacy and new systems and choose the retirement plan that works best for them and their families, Kurta told Pentagon reporters Wednesday. "We'll now be able to offer to 85 percent of our force a portable government retirement savings while still maintaining a traditional pension for those that serve at least 20 years," he said.
The new system is a key step in modernizing the military's ability to recruit, retain and maintain the best talent for the future force, he said, noting the changes bring the military in line with similar private-sector retirement plans and provide more options for service members.
The changes to the military retirement system are authorized in the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, explained Andrew Corso, the assistant director of military compensation policy and project lead for the implementation of the new system.
The new system blends features from the existing system, including a traditional defined-benefit annuity, with new benefits including automatic and matching thrift savings plan (TSP) contributions, as well as an incentive payment at the mid-career point, Corso said, in an interview with DoD News.
The goal of the blended system, Corso said, is to provide benefits to a wider swath of members as compared to the current system.
The mandatory opt-in training is available on the common-access-card-enabled Joint Knowledge Online website, and through Military OneSource, he explained. The training through Military OneSource does not require a CAC, so it is convenient for troops and their families to access, he pointed out.
All currently serving members are grandfathered under their legacy retirement plans. Active component service members with fewer than 12 years of service as of Dec. 31, 2017, and reservists in a pay status with fewer than 4,320 retirement points as of Dec. 31, 2017, are covered under the existing system, but are eligible to opt into the blended retirement system if they choose.
Eligible service members have until the end of 2018 to make the switch.
Service members who join the military on or after Jan. 1, 2018, will be automatically enrolled in the new system and will be required to take mandated training about the blended retirement system within their first year of service.
Troops who do not meet the above criteria to opt in will remain covered under the legacy system and will not have the option to switch.
Service members are encouraged to go over their options carefully before making decisions on their retirement, said Kim Myers, an official with the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education and Training.
Military personnel are encouraged to visit with a local personal financial counselor or personal financial manager at their installation or a financial counselor through Military OneSource, Myers said. "It's a very personalized and individual decision," she added.
About 80 percent of service members leave the service before their 20-year mark, when they would be eligible for retirement benefits under the current system, Corso said.
The blended retirement system allows members to earn government retirement benefits early in their career, he said, noting members can take those benefits with them even if they don't end up retiring from the military.
"The goal of modernizing the retirement system was to go from a system that benefits about 20 percent of all service members to one that benefits about 85 percent of all service members," he said.
Under the blended retirement system, DOD will automatically contribute 1 percent of a service member's basic pay to that individual's TSP account after 60 days of service, with matching contributions up to 4 percent to begin at the start of three years through the completion of 26 years of service. For opt-in-eligible service members, both the automatic and matching contributions would start the first pay period following election into the blended retirement system.
Further, the blended system offers a cash payment to service members once they reach eight to 12 years of service and opt to stay in for a minimum of three more years.
The third part of the blended retirement system is a defined benefit or a monthly annuity, similar to what service members get today. The new system, however, uses a 2-percent, rather than 2.5-percent multiplier in calculating military retired pay for the defined benefit.

Craving something exotic for dinner but don't feel like ordering takeout? Then look no further than this easy-to-prepare version of Chicken Tikka Masala. This creamy, spiced Indian comfort food is worth the effort to make and much more rewarding (and healthier) than ordering takeout.
This adaptation of the favorited Indian dish, just needs one pan to be cooked in as, instead of broiling the yogurt- and spice-marinated chicken tikka beforehand, it is cooked in the same pan that the masala "gravy" sauce is prepared. Aside from the chicken needing at least thirty minutes to marinate, the sauce only takes about fifteen minutes to whip up. Best of all, this tikka is a little lighter than the original because I swapped the heavy cream out for the yogurt marinade that's stirred in at the end to thicken the sauce. As for the accompanying basmati rice, my suggestion is to get it started cooking while the chicken marinates, before the sauce is started — or just cheat and buy a brand that you can quickly cook in the microwave here (I won't judge).
Whether you've had some experince dabbling in Indian cuisine or if you've no clue what garam masala is, this recipe can be easily prepared in under an hour and you can find most or all of the ingredients at your grocery store.

|Winnebago County Sheriff's PoliceNews Media Release
|News Release Number2008 - 039
|Information: Change In Restrictions On The Rock River In Winnebago County
|Date: 07/28/08
|Time: 11:00 AM
|Page 1 of 1
NARRATIVE:The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has lifted its restriction which closed the river, and the Rock River in Winnebago County is now open. The Sheriff's Department inspected the river conditions earlier today, and made a recommendation to DNR that the conditions which existed previously that caused the closure were no longer such a significant hazard. Sheriff Meyers has implemented a "NO WAKE" order for the entire river in Winnebago County. This will allow residents along the river access to the water to inspect their property and piers, and make appropriate repairs. This will also allow the agencies with boat ramps and docks to make any repairs to their areas, as well. The Sheriff's Department will be working with the Winnebago County Highway Department to remove the large number of trees and other debris that is in the river, caught on bridges and other obstructions, from the recent floods. Although the river is back in its banks and the DNR has re-opened the river, recreational users should avoid using the river, but if you venture onto the water, please exercise caution and use good judgment. The water is still higher than normal, and the current is flowing at a faster than normal rate. Skill and experience levels are more the concern now than the water conditions as far as safety considerations. The presence of debris in the river creates hazardous conditions, which are difficult to detect. Additionally, the increased water flow creates a much faster current than what has been experienced over the normally lower water levels. These conditions increase the likelihood of problems for boaters, which results in exposing first responders to dangerous conditions should a rescue situation develop. Residents who live along the river who would like assistance in removing debris along their property should call the Winnebago County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 815-319-6215 to provide their name, address, contact phone number, and the nature of the debris. For current river conditions, and any further updates, contact the Sheriff's Office at (815) 319-6300, or the Rock River information telephone line at (815) 316-8888.

Middle school
In the United States, middle school is a school between elementary school (grades 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6) and high school (grades 9-12 or 10-12). Depending on location, middle school contains grades 6-8, 7-8, or 7-9. Middle school is also sometimes called junior high school or just junior high.
The school day is often very different in elementary, middle, and high schools. Unlike elementary schools, where students often stay with one or two teachers for most of the school day, middle school is usually the first time in which students change teachers after each class of usually about one hour. Students often study 6 to 8 subjects. They will be taught by a different teacher for each subject. This is also the first year they must dress out, or change clothes for P.E. (physical education)
The change from a one teacher-all subjects way of teaching helps create more independence for the pupil. They no longer have the guidance of just one main teacher. Also, students will often have more of a choice in what classes they take. This is mainly in dealing with subjects which are taken in addition the basic subjects such as mathematics, English, history and general science.
In general, middle school acts as a transition between the elementary school structure where most people are all treated the same and the high school structure were most people are treated as individuals. However, some critics see middle schools as having gone "soft," overemphasizing self-esteem building at the expense of academic rigor.[1]

Labor MPs in push for referendum on local government
SEVERAL Federal Labor MPs have recommended a referendum on the constitutional recognition of local government be completed this year, despite warnings the vote may not be successful.
After a public hearing on the issue last week, a joint parliamentary committee inquiry has brought down a preliminary report recommending a national vote be held in 2013.
Coalition MPs argue that the report, which has been brought down even before the public submission period for the inquiry has been completed, could jeopardise the vote.
Chaired by New South Wales MP Michelle Rowland, the committee recommended the Gillard Government start negotiations immediately with states and territories in a bid to get a successful vote later this year.
But the recommendations come only days after senior representatives of the Australian Local Government Association warned the political environment associated with the Federal Election this year might jeopardise the vote.
ALGA vice-president and president of the NSW Local Government Association Keith Rhoades told the committee last week the election, and a belated decision in a High Court case, may mean the government has missed the boat for this year.
Mr Rhoades said a delayed decision on the High Court chaplains' case - which challenged the constitutionality of Commonwealth funding programs - could jeopardise the referendum, which would rely on councils being recognised for direct financial payments.
The vote would mean the majority of councils' funding would not need to be channelled through state government coffers.
And while most state and territory governments support the idea of the proposal, the Commonwealth has not begun negotiations with the second tier of government.
Since the committee's report was released Thursday morning, a Griffith University constitutional law expert, Professor A.J. Brown, has welcomed the proposal.
Prof Brown was a member of the Federal Government's 2011 Expert Panel on Constitutional Recognition of Local Government, and spoke during the public hearing last week.
He said a 2013 vote was an historic opportunity to improve the mechanics and operations of Australia's federal system.
But several Coalition MPs and Senators, who also sat on the committee, released a dissenting report to the recommendations.
The conservative committee members said while the change was worthy of support, a well-informed public would be essential to ensure the vote succeeded.
"Coalition members therefore consider that prior to a change to the Constitution being put to the people, parliament should take all reasonable steps to maximise the likelihood that all voting Australians understand the questions," the dissenting report reads.
