Neuroblastoma is a solid tumor that mainly affects young persons and can be very difficult to treat successfully. Although a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery can help patients with advanced disease achieve remission, many patients experience a relapse of their disease. Doctors are continually pursuing new, more effective therapies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of high-dose 3F8 combined with GM-CSF compared with standard-dose 3F8 for treating neuroblastoma that has a high risk of returning in patients in second or greater remission. Researchers also want to see if the 3F8 antibody works against a very small amount of neuroblastoma (minimal residual disease) remaining in the bone marrow.
3F8 has been shown to kill cancer cells in some patients. This antibody attaches to neuroblastoma cells and helps focus a patient's own immune system — especially white blood cells — to attack the neuroblastoma cells. Granulocytes make up one class of white blood cells. GM-CSF increases the number of granulocytes, and makes them better killers of cancer cells.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Brian Kushner at 212-639-6793.

Retiring of SMCnet
On September 29, 2013, all information on the SMCnet (smcnet.stmarys-ca.edu) website will be migrated to another server. After this migration SMCnet will officially be retired.
IT Services, in partnership with College Communications, is moving SMCnet, Saint Mary's original intranet (smcnet.stmarys-ca.edu/), to an off-site service so applications such as the online directory, January Term course proposals and election applications for faculty, students and staff will be more stable and look like the current Saint Mary's website. Over the summer we began working with departments to migrate their pages and applications, and we are in the final stages of that process.
As of today over 90 percent of the links on SMCnet already point to or can be found on the SMC website. In addition, the small number of SMCnet pages that have not yet been moved to the Saint Mary's website will be moved to it, making it easier to find the information you need on a single site. The date of the migration is September 29, 2013. As of that date SMCnet as a site will no longer be available.
What will this mean for you?
While we will put in place links that redirect you to the updated location of applications and content, you will need to update your bookmarks in Firefox (Chrome or other browser you are using). The redirects will be in place for six months (until March 1, 2014) to give you adequate time to update your bookmarks. And we will send reminders to the community before the redirects are removed.
All applications once on SMCNet will still be available but will have a new URL and look like the SMC site. You may have noticed this change already, since we began the process over the summer.
What about the online directory?
The online directory can still be found on MySMC and the SMC site. The directory is not going away - it's an invaluable community tool. Log in at the bottom of this page to see the full directory search options here: www.stmarys-ca.edu/offices-and-services.
What if I have a question?
If you have any questions or concerns about any item (content or application) on SMCnet please contact Adriana Botello at firstname.lastname@example.com or send your questions to stmarys-ca.edu/webhelp

Sponsored by Tennis (women)
Semifinals - The Luther women's tennis team earned a spot in the IIAC Automatic Qualifier Tournament title match after battling past a pesky Wartburg squad at Vets Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Norse won a pair of doubles matches and then added a trio of singles victories to pick up the 5-1 win.
Elise Allen and Maggie Helms led 4-3 at No. 1 doubles before winning the final four games to defeat Claire Evans and Melissa Davis. Lola White-Baer and Hailey Johnson trailed early in the match at No. 3, but regained their form and won by an (8-4) margin against Michelle McKenzie and Brita Jensen. The Knights grabbed a point at No. 2 where Jenny Dallenbach and Katherine Ross rallied for a (9-7) victory over Luther's Katy Lindstrom and Annie Whiteley.
Whiteley rebounded by tallying the first singles point for the Norse, beating McKenzie (6-3, 6-3) at No. 5. Allen was also a winner in straight sets, knocking off Dallenbach by a (6-1, 7-5) margin at No. 1. All four other courts were competitive, but Helms garnered her second point of the day, outlasting Ross (7-5, 6-4) at No. 3 to clinch the match for Luther.
Championship Match - The Norse saw their season come to an end with a loss to Coe in the title match of the IIAC Automatic Qualifier Tournament. The Norse jumped out to an early 2-1 edge after doubles, but the Kohawks were able to rally to earn the automatic bid into the NCAA DIII National Tournament, winning by a 5-3 margin.
After Coe tallied a victory at No. 1, the Norse fought back and gutted out tight victories at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles. Katy Lindstrom and Annie Whiteley went back and forth with their Kohawk counterparts at No. 2, outlasting Laura Birky and Elizabeth Hoffmann by an (8-6) margin to knot the score at 1-1. Lola White-Baer and Hailey Johnson finished an unbeaten spring season with a (9-7) win at No. 3, defeating Jordan Ferree and Tamara Washington to give the Norse a 2-1 lead heading into singles action.
Jenna Myers picked up the third point of the day for the Norse with a (6-2, 6-2) win over Hoffmann at No. 6 singles, but Coe tallied wins at No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 to clinch the team victory. Luther's Elise Allen was still out on the court battling Coe's Tai Lucero at No. 1 singles when the match was stopped.
The Norse finish the season with a 16-7 record.

Counterfeit medicines - questions and answers
Have counterfeit medicines been found on the Danish market so far?
So far, we have not found counterfeit medicines in the legal supply chain in Denmark (i.e. pharmacies and authorised sales outlets). But, we know that counterfeit medicines have been sold from illegal websites in Denmark.
Have counterfeit medicines been discovered on the European market so far?
There have been several examples of counterfeit medicines in the legal supply chain in other European countries (i.e. at pharmacies and other authorised distributors). Furthermore, there have been several instances of counterfeits on websites established outside Denmark.
One of the most frightening discoveries appears from an EU customs report, which describes the finding of a counterfeit medicine for cardiovascular disease. The counterfeit consisted of brick dust coated with yellow paint (of the type used to paint road markings) and furniture varnish.
Which kinds of medicines are typically counterfeited?
Worldwide, there have been discoveries of counterfeits of a number of different kinds of medicines. There have been findings of counterfeit potency-enhancing drugs, weight-loss products and antibiotics and cancer medicines.
How does the sale of counterfeit medicines take place, and can anything be done about it?
The distribution of counterfeit medicines often takes place by means of complex systems, which makes it difficult to find out who is behind the setup and where in the world the main perpetrators are. Fortunately, our collaboration with the other European drug regulatory authorities increases our possibilities of unravelling the cases.
How does the Danish Health and Medicines Authority cooperate with the industry and industry associations to prevent counterfeit medicines in Denmark?
The Danish Health and Medicines Authority 's network against counterfeit medicines has been established in cooperation with other relevant authorities, industry organisations and stakeholders, which work closely together on issues of counterfeit medicines.
The work includes the developement of measures to ensure the collection of valid data to determine the extent of the problem, and the network is an important forum for the exchange of information in the area.
What should consumers be particularly aware of if they buy medicines from other outlets than pharmacies and authorised distributors?
The Danish Health and Medicines Authority strongly urges consumers to buy medicines from pharmacies or other authorised distributors.
If you buy medicines outside a pharmacy or authorised retail outlet, for example from a website, without consulting your doctor, there is a risk that the sender/manufacturer is an impostor.
Many websites appear to be authorised by Danish or other European authorities – even though they are not.
The product contains other ingredients than declared on the package or contain other doses than indicated.
We have seen numerous examples of products claimed to be herbal products, which, in fact, showed to contain active pharmaceutical ingredients in high doses.
The advise you get on the website is not offered by a physician or a healthcare professional, even though it might seem that way.
you violate the rules on importation of medicines, which could mean that you will be fined by the police.
It is illegal to import medicines to Denmark from countries outside EU/EEA, and there is a risk that products bought from a website that appears to be European are dispatched to you from a non-EU/EEA country.

On Monday night, the Osseo City Council will vote on plans to build a new gun range -- but not everyone is on board.
Supporters argue the new range will attract both visitors and money to the small suburb, which is located between Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park; however, opponents say the location is all wrong.
Watch the video for more information.
The proposed site is a vacant lot that sits behind some businesses on Main Street, but a row of homes sit just across the street and two schools are just a short walk away.
Yet, some city leaders are concerned about the number of businesses leaving the area as big box stores pop up in nearby communities. They argue the range will bring in $35,000-$50,000 in tax revenues and could provide an economic shot in the arm.
The Maple Grove-based developer hopes to have the 17,000-square-foot site built and open by the end of the year. The plans include retail space, a gunsmith, firearm repair shop, and a 20-lane gun range.
A public hearing on the proposal will be held before the vote takes place.

Law Enforcement Officer, government agency
This conversation is closed.
Has the time come for the U.S Second Amendment to be repealed or amended?
After yesterdays tragic shooting in Newtown CT and the worst year ever for firearm related deaths and mass killings , has the time for the US Government to tell the Gun Lobby it is over and repeal or amend "the right of the people to bear arms".
Should it be repealed on the grounds that when originally written it was for a smaller population to defend the "State" and meant for Muskets and flintlocks not semi automatics and military hardware, which makes it no longer viable on account of relevance to this day and age.
That Militia should be held to Law Enforcement agencies, Military and government controlled Para military agencies, with a show need, clause for people such as certain Primary producers etc.
Is it time to tell the NRA and the Gun Lobby there will be no more "collateral" damage no matter how much you donate to the "Party"
What would be the best way for the government to enforce such a law???
And please no Guns do not kill people, people kill people debates it was people who invented firearms in the first place.
The time has come to realise it is mainly our children who pay the ultimate price for lack of diligence in monitoring a problem that has been there for far too many years.
Closing Statement from Morgan Barnes
Firstly I would like to say I did not flag or delete anyone's comments I am perfectly capable of speaking for myelf however I did get frustrated and had some comments deleted myself.
As I write this President Obama has signed 23 executive orders inline with Colleen's post from yesterday from New York.
I have to admit I am a little disappointed that we could not of just discussed the issue in a more calm, critical and logical manner and be able to offer solutions as well as recognised the underling causes, as this is a forum for open ideas and thinking, Then again we are dealing with human nature.
To those of you from the International community thank you for your imput and allowing people to see the different views helds in different parts of the world on this subject.
I will not deny that the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights are the backbone of America, but remember it was written by man not given by god and man can take it away or amend it, if he really wants too.
I am a believer that in the 21st Century we should use it to advance humankind to address the problems of the world and improve it for all. It won't be easy but we have to start somewhere or we risk implementing our own destruction.
I hope that this be a positive start and and an even more positive step in which the US can show the way.
Once again I thank you all for your contributions

For the first post of 2014, allow me to be one of the last to say Happy New Year. Then, allow me to continue to dispel the notion that Wisconsin can't produce high-quality, award winning wine.
Steve DeBaker, owner of Trout Springs Winery in Greenleaf, has grabbed a Best of Class Gold at the recent Grand Harvest Competition out in Piedmont, California.
DeBaker told me in an e-mail that, "This competition was based on terroir in different AVA regions of the country. This is the first best of class given to a winery within the most recent AVA (Wisconsin Ledge). Not only did Trout Springs compete against other wineries within the state, but then went on to take best of class against other wineries within the U.S. What was especially pleasing is that this wine was from grapes grown at Trout Springs' vineyard."
Trout Springs is one of just 26 wineries in the entire country to earn that Best of Class award. The name of the wine is Babordo Vino Vecchio, a Port wine. The Babordo Vino Vecchio is made from French-American hybrid grapes grown right at the Greenleaf vineyard. It's a fortified wine aged a minimum of 7 years in a French-American oak barrel. Just one barrel is released yearly, so its rarity just adds to the allure.
As I have reported previously, Wisconsin wines are great. If you haven't taken the chance to visit Trout Springs or another vineyard in the Badger State, you're truly missing out.
Steve DeBaker did the heavy lifting in getting the Wisconsin Ledge AVA designation off the ground. Now, DeBaker is garnering the national recognition for both the region and the wines produced here.
I couldn't be more pleased to say I have been to the vineyard and to have met Steve. He is truly an artisan and wealth of knowledge about what it takes to make world-class wines. Bravo and cheers Steve, you deserve it!

When Julie and I married each other, I became an instant Dad to her son Caleb, who was on the cusp of going into school. Right away I found myself pondering what steps we should take for Caleb. Should we home school? Should we send him to public school? What about a private Christian school? Could we afford some of these options? What was best for Caleb?
We made the decision, not living in Wisconsin at the time, and have continued down the road since. But, one factor that never played a role in our decision making was school vouchers. Would this have changed our mind? I don't know. I do know we felt convicted to do what the Lord called us to do.
Now, lawmakers in Madison are considering the expansion of the Governor Walker's private school voucher to 9 more districts around the state. In my title I asked, "Should parents have the choice?"
Check out this article: http://www.wrn.com/2013/05/budget-panel-delays-vote-on-vouchers/
There are arguments for and against. What do you think?


text: Well I spoke to Ky about it and found out it was just raspberry spitting for like a split second because he was frustrated with this girl. She kept tapping him on the shoulder when he was trying to concentrate on their social studies project. He told me the new teacher (who I am beginning not to like even though he says he likes her even though he liked his teacher last year, whom I loved, more than the new one) paired him purposefully with this girl because Ky and she do not get along. The teacher wanted them to learn to work together better. This girl was in his class last year as well and she and Ky did not get along. He was sick of her "tapping and whacking" him so he sighed and did a raspberry spit and she went all crazy and told the teacher he spit all over her face. She is very dramatic BTW, very annoying and dramatic (I know I am so horrible about speaking of a little girl this way but she truly is rather annoying. She is nice though when she wants to be but she is like on hyper drive and is very dramatical. She was very good in the school play last year as the lead). Ky also said that he stopped telling his new teacher that this girl was bothering him because she told him to "stop complaining" so now I am going to have to speak with her yet again. I don't know why she has to be so difficult. Hopefully we won't be moving to Chicago next year and we can stay at our school and I can request my favorite teacher for Ky since they are no going to be staying with the same class next year. They do "blocking" for at least 2 years at Ky's school where they stay with the same teachers and kids. Unfortunately Ky's old teacher who I loved got moved to Kindergarten because they didn't want to put a new teacher with the new group of Kindergarteners coming this year and because she had K experience and is just a sweet lady that kids love. Our new teacher is an experienced teacher but I really feel that she is more of a mainstream teacher and doesn't understand the culture of our school. I hope Ky is just exaggerating and she did not tell him this. I will have to write her a lengthy email again tomorrow and I know she hates it when I do that!

Happy Birthday, To The Who's Drummer Zak Starkey!!!
Thursday, September 13, 2012
Happy Birthday to Ringo Starr's oldest child -- and the Who's drummer since 1996 -- Zak Starkey, who turns 47 today (September 13th)!!! Starkey, who's mother was Maureen Cox, was the second "Beatle baby" born, following John and Cynthia Lennon's son Julian Lennon who was born in 1963. Ringo and Maureen went on to have two more children -- Jason in 1967 and Lee in 1970 -- prior to the couple's 1975 divorce.
Although Keith Moon did not give Starkey his first drum kit -- dad Ringo did -- Moon is responsible for giving Starkey his first professional set of drums -- the white Premier drum kit which Moon used for his final tour with the Who in 1975 and 1976.
In 1996, the year he took over drum duties for the Who as they toured Quadrophenia, Starkey explained his unique childhood relationship with Moon, telling Hello magazine, "We would spend a few days with Keith at his house in Malibu when we went to visit my dad in America, after my parents divorced in 1975. When Keith moved back to England, he would often pop in to see me or take me to dinner. I thought of him as a mate rather than an adult. He was always a very calm person when he was with me. He gave me an enormous drum kit when I was 12. It was a big white set. . . He used to encourage me a great deal."
Part of the reason for Townshend's eagerness to play out with the Who over the past decade is his connection with Starkey: "He studied at the feet of Keith Moon. He was eight years old when I first met him, his dad is Ringo Starr, but Keith Moon bought him his first drum kit. He was a big Who fan as a kid. So when John (Entwistle) passed away, suddenly there was Zak and I -- and then what I realized is that he and I have this extraordinary chemistry. And it's innate. It's a chemistry that's based on the fact that whatever I do, he's already doing it."
Blondie drummer and co-founder Clem Burke has been a disciple of Keith Moon's since he first began hitting the skins. He says that Starkey and the Who make a perfect fit: "Zak Starkey's an amazing drummer, and obviously he's an amazing legacy with his dad, and he's doing a great job. So, Zak Starkey's the perfect drummer for the Who."
The Who kicks off its Quadrophenia & More Tour on November 1st in Sunrise, Florida at Bank Atlantic Center.

Sugar Free Banana Bread ( cake ) and Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting
25 comments:
These both look amazing!!! Beans in frosting? Genius!ReplyDelete
- Sue P9:39 AM
The frosting is definitely intriguing and I will have to try it out. We are planning on going sugar free (most likely after the holidays since my husband really doesn't want to commit until then). I have tried using stevia and can not get myself to get over the aftertaste. Have you ever tried or have opinions on xylitol? It's still processed (but so is liquid stevia) so it's not something I want to use a lot in my diet but I figure it might help with the ease in for the family.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing all your amazing meals and recipes.
Sarah, I'm so glad you liked the stew. It's even better the next day. I love your addition of cornmeal biscuits!ReplyDelete
Sue, I have never used xylitiol.. and as far as stevia is concerned, the only type I use is Kal Stevia Powder because the other ones are not palatable for me.. here's a link to my source:
I use a very scant 1/2 teaspoon to replace 1 cup of sugar and it works in most things.
Jessy, I'm so glad you'll be giving these a try!ReplyDelete
You might be the smartest woman ever! I never would have thought of this combination. As soon as my blender gets fixed, I'm making this frosting.ReplyDelete
That looks so yummy, I've been experimenting with sugar free baking as well, its challenging but a fun one!ReplyDelete
I don't know if I would be brave enough to use beans in frosting though, but it is a really neat idea and sounds yummy.
Please enter my great CSN stores giveaway:
I have to agree that you are GENIOUS! I'm so excited to make this.ReplyDelete
Sounds great! White beans in frosting is a great idea!ReplyDelete
This looks ridiculously good. Mr treehugger is type 1 diabetic so any sugar free recipes get the thumbs up from the both of us.ReplyDelete
I made the banana bread and it was excellent!ReplyDelete
Thank you for all these wonderful recipes.
Christine, I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. It is 1 TABLESPOON of baking POWDER..ReplyDelete
hey! I just made the flat bread, and it turned out really wet in the middle. I used Pamela's Bread Flour Mix rather than the Bob's Red Mill. Is there really that much of a difference in the GF Baking mixes?ReplyDelete
I can get the Bob's here, but had heard that Pamela's was better and had more consistent results.ppx7y123
Silver, are you referring to the gluten free yeasted flatbread?ReplyDelete
I've never used the brand you used, so I don't know if that's why it didn't work.. I would suggest turning down the heat a bit and cooking it longer if it didn't cook through

We asked our viewers to send us their shots of the super moon that grazed the sky this weekend.
Below is a slideshow of images we were sent from viewers, Facebook friends and Twitter followers.
The super moon only happens once a year, and the moon is 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon.
It's also when the moon is closest to the earth.
"The moon will be in its full phase when it's at its closest to the earth that's why it's called a super moon. At that time it's going to be approximately 22,000 miles from us," said Meteorologist Jason Dunning.

Bridgeport Hospital recognizes that some patients may be uninsured, not have adequate health insurance or otherwise lack the resources to pay for health care. In FY 2012, the total community benefit associated with Guaranteeing Access to Care was $39.4 million. Honoring its mission and its commitment to the community, the Hospital participates in government-sponsored programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, HUSKY, CHAMPUS and Tricare. During FY 2012, Bridgeport Hospital provided services for 94,934 Medicaid beneficiaries at a total expense of $27.7 million (at cost). Bridgeport Hospital also offers a sliding scale of discounted fees and free care for eligible patients. During FY 2012, the Hospital delivered such financial assistance services for at a total expense of $8.9 million (at cost).
The Hospital provides an outpatient account advocate based in its primary care clinic. This resource is dedicated to assisting patients in the primary care clinic to enroll in public programs. Last year, over 150 individuals were assisted with all aspects of the enrollment process including pre-screening and application review. The Hospital also continued to fund an onsite State Department of Social Services worker to assist patients to apply for state health insurance programs.
Bridgeport Hospital also guarantees access to care by providing clinical programs despite a financial loss so significant that negative margins remain after removing the effects of free care, bad debt and under-reimbursed Medicaid. Subsidized health services include outpatient psychiatric programs for children and adolescents and the Primary Care Clinic. Total visits for these essential services by individuals seeking diagnosis, treatment and preventive care are over 36,000 annually.
Prescription Assistance – The Hospital's Community Assistance Program assists uninsured and underserved patients to obtain expensive prescription medication and therapies for a variety of conditions through existing pharmaceutical assistance programs. A full-time dedicated coordinator for the program assisted 62 patients in the community in FY 2012, achieving an out-of-pocket cost savings for these patients of nearly $526,000. The Norma F. Pfriem Breast Care Center's underserved program provided free medical, screening and diagnostic services to over 700 uninsured and underinsured women during the year.
Dispensary of Hope – As a testament to the unique collaboration of the Primary Care Action Group (PCAG), Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent's Medical Center together received the Community Service Award from the Connecticut Hospital Association and Connecticut Department of Health for the Dispensary of Hope, a PCAG initiative that provides prescription medications at no cost to uninsured and low-income residents of Greater Bridgeport. The Dispensary has helped more than 700 patients and provided $200,000 in medications since its launch in March 2011.

Cameo Print Flannel Nightgown 2 2
Soft and easy wash and wear flannels... I was hesitant to wash all my flannels together, but I did, and nothing shrunk and the colors stayed fast. I live in Alaska, so flannel is a necessity as our winters are 7 months long. Yours is ultra soft, very comfortable, and fits well. Thank you! June 14, 2013
Reliable quality I have ordered similar flannel nightware from VCS, and I am always pleased. The products hold up well and appear to be of good quality. This nightgown is slightly thinner, but still warm. I like to have a roomy cut, so although small in stature, I always order a medium and let it shrink a small amount. I'd reccomend this product to others. December 3, 2012

Clearwater Florida News – FL Legislative Session bringing Good News to Real Estate Investors and Home Owners
May 1st, 2009 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Real Estate News, Tampa Bay
Clearwater Florida - As you know we wrote last year about the need to pass the proposed Florida property tax amendment that would in my opinion have protected people buying Clearwater Beach condos or vacation homes. Many 2nd home buyers now worry about feeling the squeeze of property taxes as the Clearwater real estate markets improve.
For those who want to buy a little piece of Florida paradise and enjoy it for many years to come – they don't want to hear anyone say a few years from now, "Well the good news is, it's worth more if you sell it." They tell me they want to know they can afford to keep that special family beach house or retirement home and even dream of passing it down to their children.
In addition, I still think what happened to Florida business owners during the boom of 2004-2006, especially those Clearwater Beach Mom and Pop motels along our beaches (as well as all 26 miles of our beaches for that matter) by calculating their property taxes based on "highest and best use" was awful and amounted to basically a way to force them to sell and we are all worse off for it.
I don't think that it was fair but after 24 years of my husband constantly reminding me that "fair is a place you take your pigs" I realize my passion for the individual, small business person is personal and some may say even a little naive. Well so be it, I do believe people who want to sell should be able to sell and those that don't want to sell - shouldn't be basically forced too. Their businesses could never generate the income needed to pay the proposed taxes and there was no solution but to sell. This is a problem and many people have been fighting hard to see things changed.
So in a time when our best mortgage borrowers are being hit with Jumbo rates which can be basically conventional rates plus 2% and luxury beach property values are down and not get stabalized, I believe we need to make it more attractive to those who are ready willing and able to purchase to do so.
Well when I just got this early recap from the Florida Association of Realtors® I was thrilled to say the least and just had to share…as we finish the first day of May at 10pm tonight the may be good news on the horizon. Here's their End of Session recap – maybe the peoples voices are being heard – What do you think about these proposals? …
Those that Own Homes in Clearwater or Clearwater Beach Florida may soon be happier
"The House and Senate have completed their 60th day of the 2009 legislative session. This is the day the Legislature should be adjourning "Sine Die." However, as you have likely heard, the 2009 regular session of the Florida Legislature has been extended for a full week to finalize the budget. While the session was extended to next week, today still has that "last-day-of-session feel," since all non-budget legislation had to be considered for final passage today if it was going to have a chance of becoming law.
And, it has been an amazing day in Tallahassee for Clearwater Realtors® and all Florida Realtors® for that matter, as most of FAR's 2009 legislative initiatives ended in victory.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment would help Vacation Home Owners as well as Real Estate Investors in Clearwater FL
One of the final bills considered tonight was SJR 532. This constitutional amendment will:
- Ask voters to limit increases in property tax assessments on all non-homestead properties to 5 percent annually. (Remember this was pulled from the ballot last year by a Leon County Circuit Judge so let's hope this year goes better – read more..Pinellas County Real Estate Today Loses Chance to Cut Property Taxes by up to 32%)
- First-time homebuyers in Pinellas County and around Florida could benefit, too, with an additional homestead exemption up to $100,000 on their first home.

More Good News Regarding Property Tax Assessment and Capping Home Insurance Rates?
- HB 521, is the bill that puts the burden of proving that a property tax assessment is correct on the appraiser, not the property owner, also passed both chambers and heads to the Governor. Who doesn't think this is a good idea?
- In the area of property insurance, the Legislature capped rate increases at 10 percent per year for Citizens policyholders (HB 1495). The Legislature also repealed the requirement that, effective Jan. 1, 2010, sellers of property located in a wind-borne debris region, and which has an insured value on the structure of $500,000 or more, provide prospective buyers the structure's windstorm mitigation rating.
- Related post:Clearwater Florida Real Estate gets Florida Hotline to Home Insurance Options
- The growth management bill (SB 360) we supported passed as a big package. It includes a provision to encourage urban infill by eliminating transportation concurrency, one that allows for expedited comprehensive plan reviews and another that eliminates the development of regional impact process (DRIs) in urban areas. The bill also extends previously obtained permits and approvals by two years, creates a transition process for moving towards a mobility fee system, and streamlines and reduces inefficiency in our approach to growth management.
- Also, it appears that when theFlorida legislative budget is finalized next week, we'll have $30 million for downpayment assistance to help "front load" the federal first-time homebuyer tax credit." – now if we can just get the banks to give a thumbs up or down to all the short sales on their desks we'd be golden!! We are seeing lots of willing buyers and sellers – but with 80% of home sellers owing more than their homes will appraise for today we're all feeling the bottleneck of the banks.

Clearwater Real Estate News – Stimulus Package offers First Time Home Buyers reasons to Buy Now
February 12th, 2009 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Pinellas County, Real Estate News, Tampa Bay
Clearwater Real Estate News – Understanding the Stimulus Package
Clearwater Florida – Well the stimuus package is almost a reality with Congress reaching agreement on a $789 billion stimulus package for Americans and the President expected to sign it into law, the clock may be ticking for this year's Clearwater home buyers and homeowners. So what does this mean to you….
The final package contains two benefits related to housing and effecting Clearwater Real Estate.
Clearwater Home Buyers Good News
The first provision is fairly well-known. It gives first-time home buyers in Clearwater an $8,000 tax credit provided they purchase a home between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009.
The good news is this is a true tax credit.
To reduce misuse and abuse, however, the $8,000 credit is contingent on home buyers holding property for at least 3 years. If the home is sold in fewer than 3 years, the tax credit must be repaid to the government. It's also worth noting that the date range applies closings and not sales agreements.
To qualify for this if you are buying a home the closing must occur within these 8 months to be eligible.
Clearwater Home Owners that Go Green – get Green Back
A second noteworthy feature in the package is that the stimulus package gives existing those with Clearwater homes incentive to "green" their homes. With available tax credits for energy-efficient windows and doors, furnaces and insulation, homeowners can claim larger tax deductions based on home improvement, up to $1,500.
But, just because the government provides housing-related tax benefits doesn't mean you should just act on them blindly. Tax liability is a highly individual item and you may be ineligible for any number of reasons. Be sure to discuss your plans with a qualified accountant before committing to a plan.

Clearwater Florida Homeowners will you Skip a week to help?
January 9th, 2009 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Community News, Tampa Bay
Clearwater Florida – Today Swiftmud is asking all of us that own homes in Clearwater to all do our part to help conserve water in the Tampa Bay area. Luckily in Clearwater many of our neighborhoods including Clearwater Beach have reclaimed water however the rest of us need to try our best to do our part….
"In an effort to conserve water during the ongoing drought, the Southwest Florida Water Management District is encouraging residents who irrigate their lawns to "skip a week" during the cooler months of January and February.
According to research by the University of Florida, grass doesn't need to be watered as often during the cooler months. In fact, three-quarters of an inch of water every 10-14 days is sufficient.
"The cooler months are a good time to train lawns to need less water," said Sylvia Durell, Florida-friendly landscaping project manager. "Using less water will encourage deeper grass and plant roots, which makes them more drought-tolerant."
Over-watering can also encourage disease and pests.
Clearwater Homeowners can determine when their grass needs water when:
Grass blades are folded in half on 30 percent of the lawn
Grass blades are blue-gray
A footprint remains on the lawn for several minutes after walking on it
The region is experiencing the effects of a three-year drought and October through May is Florida's dry season. All 16 counties within the District are under one-day-per-week lawn watering restrictions through Feb. 27, 2009. In addition, tightened restrictions are currently in affect for all of Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties through June 30, 2009.
Skipping a week of irrigation will help conserve drinking water supplies. Following this skip-a-week plan saves water that the public needs for other critical uses during the dry season.
For more water conservation tips, information about the drought and the current water restrictions, please visit the District's web site at www.WaterMatters.org/drought.

Comments On Apr 30, 2014:Awesome tire, does what it is supposed to and hooks it up in the mud. The tire was very difficult to install therefore the 3 stars.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 27, 2014:Very good traction in loose sand, packed sand, wet sand, black mud, loamy soil. Good in red clay mud. Ok in rocky sections (Uwharrie) and wet roots.
This tire really hooks up. Stable, predictable, massive widely spaced lugs.
Would buy again.

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:This things digs in for great traction, and according to those i ride with it throws up a much bigger roost than the geomax tire. It even seems to wear pretty well considering its a soft terrain tire. The knobbies are huge on it.

Comments On Sep 18, 2013:Best for hillclimbing, loose rocky trails, and mud, works good on single track also.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 04, 2013:I bought this tire for the sand of Mesquite, NV, where it did great. I brought it home to the nasty, rocky single tracks of the Rockies where I live, expecting it to get chewed up pretty fast, considering it is a soft sand-type tire. I am very impressed how well it is holding up. I'll definitely buy another one when this one eventually wears out.

No reportable incidents this week.
1Two Milwaukee women, 21 and 23, and a 25-year-old Waukesha woman were arrested for theft from Kohl's, 9060 N. Green Bay Road, at 7:45 p.m. Oct. 6. The women entered a fitting room with an empty purse and items valued at more than $200 and left an empty fitting room with a full purse. They fled in a car but were stopped in the 5500 block of West Brown Deer Road.
2A 23-year-old Brown Deer man was taken into protective custody after he was found walking naked in the 5200 block of West Brown Deer Road at 10 p.m. Oct. 14.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley
However, the Wall Street bank will continue to run its investment banking business and stay registered as a non-banking finance company with the central Reserve Bank of India, the newspaper reported, citing an unnamed senior banker.
Morgan Stanley declined to comment on the report.
In March 2012, it received the license to set up a bank in the country.
"It is now planning to let the license lapse as it does not want to tie up capital and other resources on account of a review of its strategy," a senior banker with knowledge of the development told the newspaper.
The license would enable Morgan Stanley to expand its offerings to corporate banking and foreign exchange from its current services such as advising clients on takeovers.
Last November, sources have told Reuters that Morgan Stanley had launched the sale of its India private wealth management unit, which manages about $1 billion including loans, after entering the highly fragmented and competitive market just four years earlier.

Infertility affects many families. In fact, my husband and I sought infertility treatments when we were trying to have Mia. We didn't have to go this far, but it's nice to know that this is an option for couples. Pregnancy is such a cool experience and it's so sad that some great couples have to miss out on it.

Mike McCarthy didn't want to get on Ted Thompson's bad side today but had to admit, he might not be able to dress the maximum 46 players on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Each week 7 players are declared inactive but the avalanche of injuries could have the Pack adding an unwanted couple more to that list. Four players are already ruled out, Randall Cobb with his broken fibula, Nick Perry with his broken foot, Clay Matthews with a broken thumb and James Starks with a knee sprain. On Thursday, Brad Jones didn't practice again with his hamstring injury, nor did James Jones with his sore knee and Mike Neal with a shoulder bruise. Casey Hayward was limited and a decision on whether last year's leading interceptor makes his season debut will likely be taken down to Sunday morning. Jarrett Bush was a full participant after missing a couple of weeks with a hamstring pull. McCarthy said the lack of bodies will be most stressful on the special teams. The key players on the cover and return teams are being pressed into starting duty on offense and defense, Jamari Lattimore, Andy Mulumba, Jarrett Boykin among them. As the players fell in Baltimore, you saw Jacoby Jones rip off a couple of big kickoff returns. It could be problematic again versus Cleveland.
Relying on youngsters like Myles White in the passing game or Mulumba and Nate Palmer at outside linebacker won't have the Packers soften the game plan. In conversations with veterans on both sides of the ball, the plan will be as usual, the kids are simply expected to perform just as the regular starters would.
An in depth look at the matchups with the Browns is coming on Friday.

Recommendation for coach hire and successful business with the German coach tourism industry
The RDA International Coach Tourism Federation e.V. (founded in 1951) epresents the interests of around 3,000 affiliated companies from over 70 branches in more than 40 countries. Leading coach tour operators and their trade partners benefit from RDA's active lobbying, innovation and service network. It also organises the RDA workshop, Europe's largest trade fair for coach tourism.
RDA members save considerable business costs by availing of RDA member services, industry know-how, business networking, international contacts and expert consultancy.
RDA members have direct and speedy access to specialist knowledge in the fields of marketing, research, development, sales, purchasing, EU initiatives, climate protection, fiscal, legal and insurance issues.
A great RDA membership benefit is access to a vast and valuable European network of business contacts, market intelligence and representation of member interests. The RDA has regular liaison and intense co-operation with allied European federations, sister associations and other opinion leaders. RDA membership is an interesting proposition for any international tour operator working with German service providers – for an annual membership fee of only € 365.
The RDA offers members a wide range of innovative and hands-on business-to-business member services including:
Networking Platforms
RDA-Workshop, Annual General Meeting, Day of Coach Tourism, Regional Meetings
Market Information
Market Research
Market structures, travel behavior e.g. current findings established considerable additional demand for combined travel by coach and airplane
Legal and Taxation Advice
On booking terms and conditions, hotel contracts, coach hire, consumer rights, competition issues or EU regulations competition issues or EU regulations etc. RDA Guidelines, e.g. "Incoming Business – Practical and Legal Considerations"
Lobbying activities
For example: measures to secure freedom of movement for tour operators within Europe; measures to counter restrictions on coach travel (e.g. bans on tour coaches in several European city centres); and presentations for governments, external institutions and various authorities
Press and Public Relations
Expert seminars on business and market development, sales and marketing themes, training packages for tour managers and tour coach drivers
Participation options at RDA-Workshop
Exhibiting at RDA-Workshop, the leading sales and purchasing fair for European coach tourism, is exclusive to RDA members only. Trade visitors are welcome.
At RDA-Workshop some 1,100 exhibitors from 55 nations present their services for coach tour operators and incoming operators.
Information on Coach Travel
There are some 4,000 coach companies in Germany, most of which provide local and commuter services, hire coaches for excursions and occasionally act as sub-contractors to tour operators. Approximately 1,000 coach operators regularly organise package tours throughout most of Europe and some operators also organise tours to non-European destinations. Coaches in Germany are built to the highest standard in terms of technology, comfort and safety. Coach holidays are comfortable, climate and environment-friendly.
German coach companies operate about 20,000 touring coaches (of which almost 1,200 are classified).
The place of a company's registration should not be a barrier to trade, as German coach operators are able to operate throughout Europe. Most coach operators are registered at their operating site, which is often not in the immediate vicinity of a gateway. Consequently, some international customers miss the opportunity to make contact with a potential supplier by not extending their search to the surrounding regions. Due to the cost structure of coach travel, it may often be feasible to award contracts for longer tours to operators located further away. Firms located near highly frequented gateways may, however, have accumulated expertise and experience in the incoming business.
Most coach operators are interested in incoming contracts and can handle simple incoming transportation requirements. For more complex requirements involving round trips, international travel, multilingual drivers/driver-guides and ancillary services, we recommend the services of a professional incoming operator. Contact data is available from RDA.

With thanks to RaveTurned in comments on the main page.
I only read the first two books and watched the show. This is set before and during the first book. It feels really good to explore known locations and talk to familiar characters. It's a bit weird to stumble upon an exposition dump of something you already know. I'm not sure where the story leads - plot twists galore! - but despite meeting people like Varys and Cersei it doesn't feel odd that it's never mentioned in the books and show.
The RPG started development eight years ago and it's a completely original story. It's well integrated in the lore - both main dudes were part of Robert's uprising, the scheming is grand and involves the major Houses blah blah... As long as it doesn't break the lore it's a quality addition to the GoT universe. It has GRRM's seal of approval anyway.
There's one thing that feels stupid: me, a Night's Watch brother, walking around in a gigantic wilding armour decorated with heads and ears. Videogames, eh?
Seriously game was in development eight years ??! Sure story might be good but gameplay is so basic it feels like they worked on it half year lol
The glorious chaos that is Saints Row IV.
The glorious chaos that is Saints Row IV along with the more organized chaos that can be Payday 2. Also Warframe and Planetside 2 with a bit of Company of Heroes. :B
Finished KOTOR 2, my blasters make your lightsabres look like toothpicks. The stat-stacking in that game gets insane though. Pretty sure I was rocking 50 DEX at one point.
Now to learn what difference Rebellion has on Sins of a Solar Empire. Advent Loyalists or Advent Rebels, who will I prefer I wonder.

Planescape: Torment. Scrolling all the way up to my quicksave is getting annoying. Is there any faster way?
I completed my run of Dishonored, high chaos, no rune upgrades. I didn't stick to a no-reloading rule for when I get caught, although I considered it. The thing is, once the alarm does ring and the guards come running, it's pretty easy to squeeze them into a bottleneck and then pick 'em off with the pistol. In those cases I just reloaded the last checkpoint, because it's simply more challenging to complete the level when all the guards aren't piled up dead from gunshots in a single room. The upgrades you get for the pistol make it ridiculously powerful, so much that there were hardly any opportunities to use grenades, springrazors or other gadgets when I did get caught.
I did manage to stick to the no-alarms rule, and I'd try to dispose of guards nonlethally if I had the chance, but my regard for their lives was diminishing more and more, to the point of being in full-on psycho rampage mode in the final mission.
Spoilers: The changes in how the world reacts to high chaos were really interesting. One thing that I noticed in the High Overseer mission is that one of the plague-infected overseers asks his comrades to put him out of his misery during low chaos, while during high chaos he tries to hide it and they murder him of their own accord. It's hard to believe that the changes in the final mission would be so drastic - the conspirators turning on each other - but considering the terror that Corvo brought to Dunwall, and how the plague spread as the streets filled with corpses, I can imagine that the paranoia eventually got to Martin and Pendleton as well. Not Havelock, though. He's a bastard regardless of how many people you kill. I didn't have a lot of options to deal with Havelock since I had no powers, but I'm curious to the tricks you could use to intervene. Sneaking up behind him was just a little bit anticlimactic.

Faster than that, I mean. It's nothing major, really, but it does get on my nerves after playing so many RPGs that have a quickload key.

Speaking of Torment, are there any items I absolutely should not throw away? I'm keeping anything that looks remotely unique and my inventory is beginning to get clogged.

Two matches in DotA 2 this morning, two losses. The first match was random picks so I get Pugna, which was someone I never used before. that said, I managed to have some fun with it, trolling spell casters but Silencer and Lina was just a combo I cant really beat. second was frustrating. I loved skywrath mage a lot but this time he I don't seem to be able to wreck enemy teams or stopping a push with him today. plus, my team splits up so often while the other side ganked the shit outta us. nobody sticks together.
at least I had fun being an annoying little troll as Dark Seer yesterday. hella fun
kinda why I think the game is the inverse of the first game as much as Bioshock 1 is to 2.Art blog here.
Doodles poodles sheboodles
Playing the Sol Survivor SP campaign. It's kind of an interesting game, let down a little by lack of polish; it doesn't manage to get me quite involved enough. Defense Grid, for example, gives me the feeling that I'm doing something important, but Sol Survivor is a bit flat in that respect, which is a shame.
Also bought the Team Fortress 2 premium gift for a friend last night, so we played a little, 1v1 on empty servers, because I've only ever played against bots, so there's a lot I don't know. It's not a good 1v1 game, obviously, but it was kind of fun anyway, as long as I played the soldier, at least; I got slaughtered when I tried any other class (but at least I pretty much slaughtered my friend when I did play the soldier).

Qwinn's Planescape: Torment Tweak Pack comes with a Quickload button. I strongly recommend installing it anyway, if only for the Banter Accelerator and the fact that it lets you stack rings, bracelets, etc. If you haven't already, you might also consider downloading the PS:T Fixpack, which fixes a ton of bugs still left in the vanilla game and overall makes your playing experience a lot smoother.
Good Old Games (bless their souls) has a very good guide about modding Planescape: Torment as well. It takes a bit of effort to set everything on that list up, but the results are well worth it.
That reminds me of Icewind Dale 2. In true infinity engine fashion, you can carry around a lot of trash, including all sorts of dead bodies. Those are quite heavy and serve no purpose. However, towards the end of the game you can resolve a single quest differently depending on just how complete your collection of corpses is.

TrackMania 2: Stadium. Excellent TrackMania gameplay; the Stadium is no doubt my favourite setting. Both old and new singleplayer tracks are, with a few exceptions, great. Few moments in even the realistic racing sims come close to getting a perfect line through a series of turns, jumps and loops in TM. That rarely happens until after 20+ failed attempts, of course."He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to

Just finished Saints Row 4.
I'm a little bit caught with this one in truth. Play wise it's pretty fun and entertaining. I wouldn't of ploughed through it in a few days if it wasn't (I'd say it clocks in around the 25 hour mark for main game and side quests though likely more for completionists). The premise is a smart enough (borrowing heavily from the matrix), the writing astute and funny as the previous games and the voice acting and cut scenes are of the same high standard as those in SR3. However story wise the title is very much reliant on a familiarity with the franchise as a whole. Having played SR2 & SR3 a lot of this made sense to me, but I suspect it would be lost on anyone who hasn't played any of the earlier titles. I'd say SR3 is a must, and SR2 would be beneficial as well, though you'll need to get some mods to make the latter title playable for PC. IdolNinja has an excellent catch all post on the Steam forums here: -
If you're a big saints row fan, then SR4 is more of the same and you're in for a good time, but if you've never played a saints row game before then I recommend getting the others firstly and playing those beforehand.
On the negatives, they made some decisions regarding the female character voice acting that personally I found surprising and slightly perplexing given you can essentially carry through your character from the previous game. The two new voices they've brought in don't really seem to add much and in many ways I think they'd have been better off sticking with the previous voice actresses. Also like SR3 there are still some issues when it comes to character customization especially with respect to clothes. There's plenty of numerical choice, but there's also a lot of sameness. Also they could do with a bit more variation in character builds. It's hard to make an athletic looking female character without them ending up looking like a Bulgarian shotputter at the end of the day. 8/10
You don't have to use the mods of course. Planescape is perfectly playable without them. But they really do add a lot to the experience and make one of the best games of all time even better.

Portal 2 Will Feature New Jonathan Coulton SongJonathan Coulton had been writing geek-hip songs before Portal, but his pop number during the end credits vaulted him into a nerd icon. Today the songwriter confirmed that he will be contributing a new song to Portal 2. "If this plane goes down, the Portal 2 song goes with it," he tweeted. "It is in my pocket."
We can count on more of his signature wit, but the song won't recycle jokes from the first game. Valve writer Erik Wolpaw mentioned last year that he's sick of Portal memes and has no desire to revive them. That means no cake jokes, but maybe Coulton will surprise us with daring new material on pie.
