City Crews Spread Sand and Salt Today – Back to Storm Debris Collection Tomorrow
(Little Rock – January 15, 2013)
Public Works Crews are spreading sand and salt on Little Rock streets today to help maintain safe driving conditions. As of now, the plans are to send those crews back to collecting storm debris tomorrow– both from what may occur today and from the Christmas storm. They are gathering approximately 130 tons of fallen tree limbs and bushes per day. These crews continue to work six days a week, ten hours a day in every ward.
"Safety is always our number one concern. Our Public Works crews need to sand and salt our roads to decrease dangerous driving situations," said City Manager Bruce Moore. "We are closing City offices at 2:00 p.m. and cancelling our regularly scheduled Board of Directors Agenda Meeting. We encourage our residents to stay off the streets as much as possible until this wintry mix leaves our area."
Solid Waste crews were able to complete most of their routes today, however they were pulled in early. Public Works would like residents to please put their garbage carts and yard waste at the curb according to their regular schedule. They expect to be caught up by the end of the day tomorrow. Also, Waste Management says any recycling that wasn't picked up today will be included in Wednesday's route.
Forecasters say this line of weather will leave Little Rock by tomorrow. If any resident sees storm debris in a street they may call 311 or go to www.LittleRock.org and click on the blue 311 logo in the right hand corner of the home page to report it on line. All storm debris will be picked up in due time whether a 311 call has been made or not. However using 311 can alert City crews to a situation that needs immediate attention.
The City of Little Rock will be able to hire independent contractors to help with the cleanup if FEMA declaration is signed. It's hoped this will happen in a week to ten days. It's estimated there is 22,000 tons of storm debris in the City of Little Rock. So far City crews have collected 2,200 tons and brought it to the landfill.

(NECN: Amy Sinclair, Portland, Maine) - One of the last independent bookstores in Portland, Maine, is getting an outpouring of support in recovering from heavy damage from the blizzard of 2013.
Thousands of the store's books got soaked during the storm, but writers and readers are coming together to bring Longfellow books back.
Longfellow's Bookstore in Portland, Maine, is planning a soft re-opening Thursday night following massive storm damage that occurred during the blizzard.
The shop is one of the city's last independent book stores and its comeback rivals any of the best stories sitting on the store's shelves.
Longfellow's was turned inside out last Saturday after pipes froze during the blizzard causing the sprinkler system to rain down on thousands of books and other merchandise
"You know, we lost our entire history, biography, and non-fiction sections; 40-, 50-, 60-percent of our stock is gone," said co-owner Chris Bowe. "I have to buy all that again without money coming in. Right now, I have no money to buy that."
But the staff discovered they're not going it alone.
While a chair still blocks the store's entrance, lovers of literature just can't stay away.
Local writer Duane Robert Pierson came in to see if he could help because he says it's his book store, too.
"We really count on this place. It's a center for literature in this part of the country," said Pierson.
In fact, as soon as the literary community heard Longfellow's was under water, the rescue was underway.
"I was inundated with Facebook messages saying, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?" recalls Josh Bodwell, Executive Director for the Maine Writers' and Publishers' Alliance.
They're now organizing a cash mob, planning a major literary event, and collecting donations to help the bookstore stay afloat.
And while readers can't buy their Valentines at Longfellow's this year, they can give one to the store by purchasing a "Great Flood of 2013 gift certificate" to put some quick cash back in the registers.
Bowe says he knew people liked the bookstore, he just didn't know how much.
"I thought they just used us because we were convenient. Now I know it's something more," he says.
It is, it turns out, a love story. One that was tested by hardship and one that will now have a happy ending, which is perfect for a store that's reopening on Valentine's Day.

One of the aims of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project
is to give the underprivileged new opportunities and experiences they otherwise
wouldn't have. Interestingly enough, some school children are using their
laptops to browse pornographic Internet sites.
According to a Reuters
report, a reporter at the official News
Agency of Nigeria discovered pornographic images on the donated laptops
from a U.S. aid organization. It is unclear whether or not school children were
actually caught in the act of browsing such websites.
"Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary
school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with
explicit sexual materials," reported the News Agency of Nigeria.
Perhaps in response to the discovery of the OLPC's side
features, a representative for the laptop project said that the computers will
now be fitted with filtering software.
quote: If you give laptops to kids without any educational infrastructure around it, guess how much it will help education - practically zero.
quote: Hundreds of millions of dollars that could otherwise be spent building more schools, hiring more teachers, buying more books, etc. - i.e., other things that are proven beneficial for education.
quote: Maybe there should be some studies first? No, they decided there was no time for that. Just field trials to test out the communication infrastructure. They'll do studies post-mortem to figure out if there was any educational effectiveness. But by that time, the money will be potentially wasted.
quote: The point is that money that is being spent on OLPCs could be better spent building more schools, hiring more teachers, buying books, etc. The money is being spent, why not spend it on something known to be worthwhile?
quote: First off i think you need to become a bit more informed,http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_mythsThey do not claim that this is the so called silver bullet as you have been calling it.
quote: HOW DO YOU KNOW! you don't, you are not in education, and you are not economist or you would have shoved it in my face already.
quote: The fact that they arent used widely anywhere else in the world seems a solid enough statement from the educational community that they're not valid instruments.

Najib Apologizes: Will PM Walk His Talk?
Najib Razak extended an apology to the people on behalf of BN for the coalition's mistakes in the last general election, which cost it several electoral seats and states.
He said the BN would rectify the mistakes and make up by serving the people as best as it can. The voters' rejection of the BN was in a way due to the mistakes made by the coalition, he said.
"I believe that we should not be arrogant. In a parliamentary democracy, we have to subject ourselves to the power of the people.
Subject yourself to the people you must. I was asked by Malay Mail if the PM's apology will help to garner him more support. If yes, we must be quite easy to please.
However, I am willing to give the Prime Minister some benefit of doubt. After all, it is almost impossible to get Dr Mahathir to do the same - apologize for his long list of mistakes, poor decisions and abuse of power.
But talk alone is not enough. The PM should show some seriousness and political will to correct some of his administration weaknesses and mistakes like suspend the Lynas project indefinitely.
Is he willing to put the people of Pahang under severe mental anguish over his decision to allow the rare earth processing plant in the scenic and beautiful Gebeng, which is near Kuantan?
The next thing he should do is to withdraw his support for the dubious, irresponsible and racist right wing group called Perkasa. He should know it is almost critical for him to distance himself from this group if he wants to win back support from all Malaysians.
MCA should take note. UMNO's tacit support for Perkasa (and maybe Jati too) is a real threat in isolating non-Malay support for the BN. There is no need to harp on Pas and its symbiotic relationship with Dap.
Pas and Dap are realists. They know their liaison benefits both parties and they will continue to do so as long as there are mutual benefits. The moment Dap senses the real threat of Pas turning extremists and is scaring away their supporters the former will dump Pas without a second thought.
Next, the Prime Minister should implement the full vision and spirit of his New Economic Model. It is a mistake to dump the NEM just because his opportunist deputy turns mischievous on the plan. If UMNO is smart, they should know that Muhyiddin is going to alienate UMNO from the middle ground for good.
PM should rectify UMNO's prime mistake of segregating Malaysians into Bumi and Non-Bumi. Does he realise that more than 70-80% of all Malaysians are descendants of migrants? But focusing mainly on the son of soil, the PM and his party is poised to make millions of Malaysians angry and slighted.
So, UMNO should stop being racist. It should strive to become a party well received by all moderate Malaysians.
A number of cases are up for closure and they should be given fair and just trail e.g. Teoh Beng Hock sudden death, the formation of IPCMC, the restoration of judicial independence and empowerment, NFC financial scandal, Ministry of Defence multiple procurement controversies, PKFZ, MAS bailout of Tajuddin Ramli and others.
His powerful apology must be backed by an equally passionate and will to rectify, correct and improve on governance.
Only then, we will decide if we should give him our full support and mandate. Barisan's own enemy is the coalition itself. It has to look inside in order to find the right solution to claw back support lost in the 2008 GE.
5 comments:
First of all I would like to remind the PM Najib,that he has to walk the talk.All talk and no action will definitely reward Najib with the pink slip.
First of all the most important things in most Malaysians minds are corruption and cronism.It is leading the nation to the path of destruction of no return.
We do not care what baggages and skeletons Najib has in the closet.What is most important are for Malaysians to know what is in store for them and the country if Umno/bn is voted back into power for another term.
To prove that he is sincere to root out corruption and deserves to have another term as PM,he should start revamping his cabinet and start throwing some of his Umno,Mca and Mic ministers into prison for starters.To top the list is the present AG and his partner in corruption an ex IGP.Then he can come back and offer his appology and ask for their support for a second term.
One sure way for Najib to win the coming GE is to have the grand son of the pariah from Kerala, the shenanigan Mahathir be indicted first for the abusive use of his power during the tenure and then have all the money the shenanigan stole. It will also avoid the country going into bankruptcy for sure.
Najib does not have to dish out money the country does not have in the first place or even to apologize for the commission he took from the submarine deal. Or even for the murder of the Mongolian beauty, leave your retribution to Allah in your after life. Just have the shenanigan indicted. The more association Najib has with the shenanigan the closer he will be at loosing the power.
A good example is the record winning of AB's first GE as leader of Umno, the people wrongly thought the shenanigan had retired and rejoiced too soon. A soon as the shenanigan revealed he was far from having retired because the shenanigan thought he had found a puppet in AB to continue his atrocities and corruptions. And in the following election AB lost heavily. So Najib try this even though many of your Umno colleagues in the supreme council will object to it, as many , if not all of them, will surely also be implicated in the process. But if you really are sorry for the atrocities the shenanigan had done, have him indicted and have his mistakes corrected ! The people will come out in full force to rejoice and even believe in you plus for what the shenanigan and his cronies has done !
If PM really mean it, do 1st before talk so many bullshit.
Through the years, they talk alot but never do.
If Najib is sincere,make the MACC,the AG's office report to the Parliament and implement the IPCMC for the police.Get rid of the corrupted leaders in the BN coalition.Increase productivity in the govt sector.We have currently a bloated govt servants which do not bring efficient service to the people.
not many & not easy for a man like najib's status to apologize. it's ain't easy though & i had given 2 thumbs up for his action.
despite whether one is with BN or anti-BN, we have to admit najib is certainly very different in his political approach as compared to other politicians. he somehow know how to touch the people's heart when one least expect it.
politicians regardless from which side of the fence are game players. the objective of this game is to win people's heart regardless whether it's genuine or not & sadly, this is how the game of politics is played.
this is why many people wants to be in politics but unfortunately don't make it in the end. it's not about helping the people or that people, it's not about which race is more superior, it's not a matter of this shit or that pee, it's how one play their cards at the correct moment.

WHEATFIELD – A North Tonawanda man employed as a convenience store clerk was charged after a store manager said she saw him on store security taking lottery tickets from a display case.

It's inevitable Cold Souls -- with its pseudo-scientific commercialized metaphysics and actor's angst -- will be compared to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich; it's the first post-Charlie Kaufman film, where the writer-director's weird, wooly aesthetic becomes a genre unto itself. Starring Paul Giamatti as, in a blatant piece of typecasting, actor Paul Giamatti, Cold Souls begins with Giamatti rehearsing the title role in Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, and it's obviously taking its toll as he plunges into sad-sack Russian angst and anomie. Giamatti's agent tips him to an article in The New Yorker, profiling a new service called "Soul Storage," wherein melancholy Manhattanites are having their souls extracted by Dr. Flintstein (David Strathairn) and held in escrow so they can live less complicated lives. Giamatti, wondering if having less soul would help him better play the part and get through the day, goes to Flintstein's office to get the details: "Your soul can be stored here ... or if you'd prefer to avoid the sales tax, it can be shipped to our storage facility in New Jersey. ..."
And again, you get the Kaufman vibe from writer-director Sophie Barthes; the dry humor, the everyday acceptance of the ludicrous, the ludicrous nature of the everyday. But while the comparisons to Eternal Sunshine and Being John Malkovich are inevitable, they're also not quite right. Eternal Sunshine was about the messy business of loving another; Cold Souls, with the equally messy proposition of living with one's self. Being John Malkovitch riffed comedy out of celebrity and stardom; Cold Souls examines sub-lebrity and acting. Cold Souls is a beautifully shot film, and it also becomes more than a little bit moving, as Giamatti struggles with a question we've all asked ourselves: Is it possible to remove the burden of our soul without taking away the benefit of it? Is it the very weight we struggle under that makes us strong? Deep questions, but Cold Souls is also funny; there are fast, laugh-out-loud gags like Giamatti's compensation anxiety over the small size of his extracted soul ("It looks like a chickpea!") or the Russian trophy wife obsessed with getting an American actor's extracted soul so she can implant it and do better Soap Opera work. But there are also subtler bits of comedy that not only make you laugh but make their point; Strathairn's placid, soothing man of medicine seems entirely too reasonable and calm -- more glad scientist than mad scientist -- until you realize that, to paraphrase the old Hair Club for Men ads, he's not just the founder of Soul Storage, but he's also a client.
The soulless Giamatti feels better, briefly, but the fact he's become a glib, insufferable fool annoys his wife (Emily Watson) and turns his performance as Vanya into a wide, weak piece of cheese. The scene of the de-souled Giamatti playing Vanya -- with his easy grin and broad delivery of lines like "Whaddaya waiting for?" -- brings back Paul Thomas Anderson's observation on the Boogie Nights DVD commentary that it takes a great actor to play a bad actor, and it's a truly impressive piece of work. But when he wants to reverse the process, his soul can't be found, and so Giamatti has a Russian donated soul installed in place of his own. That borrowed sprit helps, a little, but it too becomes close to unbearable, and in trying to find the donor alongside one of the system's soul couriers (Dina Korzn) gets mixed up in the Russian network of mules and donors and customers working with Dr. Flintstein, even traveling to St. Petersburg to walk the wintry streets in search of a soul...
With cinematography by Andrij Parkeh, Cold Souls is a gorgeously shot movie, whether flickering between the real world or the visions of the unconscious, capturing a snowy Russian vista or the art-deco whiz-bang claustrophobia inside the soul collector. And the supporting cast is excellent -- Strathairn, yes, but also Dina Korzn as the soul-mule who comes to help Giamatti, Michael Tucker as Giamatti's confused director and an uncredited Clancy Brown as a Russian soul-storage capitalist with an eye on the next opportunity.
Giamatti, though -- well, you know Giamatti does great work, whether as the striving, snobbish flawed man trying to do better in Sideways or the curdled creative curmudgeon of American Splendor; Giamatti was even worth watching in the sub-moronic Shoot 'Em Up, which is saying a lot. Here, though, he gives what may be his best performance, stretching to play several variations of himself, and manages several seemingly incompatible things -- investing real heart into what's essentially a character defined by a science-fiction device, finding real emotion in surreal inventions and yet giving his everyday moments a deft, askew energy. He doesn't even want the Soul Storage procedure to be a cure-all, just a moment of rest: "I don't want to be happy; I just need to not suffer." He's talking about a completely fictional procedure, but his need for it -- his desperate, anguished need for some relief, any relief -- rings out as real. Cold Souls looks and feels like a Charlie Kaufman film, but it's somehow slipperier and yet simpler, more complex and yet more direct. Part of the pleasure of Cold Souls is that as we watch Paul Giamatti struggle to understand his soul, we can't help but cast a glance towards our own.

A Lockport man already behind bars was charged with burglary for allegedly stealing a Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle from an Eggertsville apartment last week, Amherst Police Detective Lt. Rick Walter said.
Dennis Stankovskiy, 26, of Tonawanda Creek Road, already being held at the Erie County Holding Center on an unrelated charge when he was arrested for the Eggertsville burglary, police said.
Detectives recovered the stolen weapon after executing a search warrant issued by Amherst Town Justice Geoffrey Kelin at a garage on Ontario Street in Buffalo.
The assault rifle was legally owned but stolen during a burglary of a Calladine Avenue apartment Jan. 3, according to police.
Walter said that investigators believe Stankovskiy "had knowledge that the gun was there" and that he intended to sell the weapon, which has been in high demand after federal and state leaders have called for bans on assault rifles. The stolen firearm is the same variety that was used in several recent mass shootings, including by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings.
The case is being handled by Detectives David Kubiak and Todd Homberger.
Walter said the burglary remained under investigation and that more arrests are expected.

Molecular biology of leukemia
Key words: Leukemia, BCR/ABL, signal transduction, PI3 kinase.
Description of Research
My laboratory is broadly interested in the molecular biology of leukemia. There are two active areas of research in the laboratory. The first project focused on acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML has been hypothesized to arise from a combination of oncogenic translocations that disrupt cellular disruption and dysregulation of cellular growth regulatory mechanisms. Although a number of translocations are identified which block differentiation in AML cells, the mechanism of increased cell growth is poorly understood. We are working to understand the signal transduction pathways activated in primary cells from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We have recently found that over 80% of AML patient samples have activation of the PI3 kinase signaling pathway and that these cells require activation of the PI3 kinase pathway for survival. We are continuing to work on the PI3 kinase pathway in these primary patient cells in order to determine the exact role of the pathway in AML. Experiments are in progress to test the use of PI3 kinase pathway inhibitors in the therapy of AML using a NOD/SCID xenograft model of the disease. We are also working to develop improved culture conditions for primary AML cells in order to define the growth regulatory pathways that maintain the survival of these cells in patients.
A second project involves the role of genomic instability in progression of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) from the chronic phase to the terminal blast crisis phase of disease. CML arises because of the t(9;22) translocation which gives rise to the BCR/ABL oncogene. Extensive work has shown that BCR/ABL is a constitutively activated tyrosine kinase that leads to constitutive activation of signal transduction pathways in leukemic cells causing their aberrant growth. However, the role of BCR/ABL in progression to blast crisis is unknown. We have recently demonstrated that BCR/ABL alters the cellular response to DNA damage. After DNA damage, BCR/ABL translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. In the nucleus, the oncogene associates with and disrupts the function of the ataxia-telangiectasia and rad 3 related (ATR) protein which regulates cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair. We are actively working on trying to define the mechanism of translocation and association with ATR in order to better understand the role of BCR/ABL in progression of this disease.
Rotation Projects
1. Understanding the effects of hypoxia on growth of MDS cells.
2. Defining targets of mTOR signaling in AML.
3. Effects of BCR/ABL on genomic instability.

Lawmakers who spoke at the Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Luncheon Wednesday got right down to business - local businesses and the issues affecting them, that is.
Topics of discussion at the luncheon - which took place at the Randolph County Community Arts Center - included questions surrounding education reform, balancing the state budget and addressing statewide drug addiction.
Del. Denise Campbell, D-Randolph, is one of nine House members appointed to a committee that is reviewing the recent audit performed on the West Virginia state school system. Campbell said the committee has met three times and is listening to all stakeholders.

From left, Sen. Clark Barnes, R-Randolph, Del. Denise Campbell, D-Randolph and Sen. Greg Tucker, D-Nicholas field questions about issues affecting the local business community from moderator Gary Clay Wednesday at the Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce's Legislative Luncheon. The legislative session will begin on Feb. 13.
"We have heard from the (West Virginia Education Association), the (American Federation of Teachers), the Chamber," Campbell said. "We've heard from school teachers from Monongalia County and learned about programs in Kanawha County that were implemented locally and had positive outcomes.
"We are now waiting to hear from the governor, and we look forward to sitting down with the governor," she said. Campbell said several issues that need to be reviewed include the effect of teachers' salaries in retaining highly skilled teachers and student absenteeism.
And although Campbell said she was open to exploring a foster mentoring program that would provide additional support to struggling students, "Legislation cannot make parents be parents," she said. "We can have the best programs and the best teachers, but if students don't attend school, how are we going to make sure they graduate from high school and get good jobs?"
Sen. Clark Barnes, R-Randolph, said, "We've got to get out of the rut of demeaning vocational education."
"That's got to be part of education reform as well," Barnes said. "Students have got to be able to take what goes on up in their heads and take it to their hands."
Sen. Greg Tucker, D-Nicholas, weighed in on the issue, saying he was currently opposed to instituting a balanced calendar system, or year-round school.
"The balanced calendar sounds like a good idea, but the problem is a lot of our schools, especially in the southern part of the state, don't have air conditioning, and you can't send kids to school without air conditioning," Tucker said. "That's just cruel."
When moderator Gary Clay quizzed legislators about the likelihood that change in the education system will actually come to fruition, Tucker and Campbell said yes.
"I think people in the state are going to demand changes in education," Tucker said.
Campbell said legislators have been hearing "a large outcry" from the public.
"I believe in my heart there will be change," she said. "The student is the number one reason why we should be addressing changes in education, and if the student benefits, then we all benefit."
Clay asked the panel of lawmakers how the budget will be balanced this fiscal year.
Tucker said he thought legislators would be "hard pressed" to balance the budget.
Del. Bill Hartman, D-Randolph, said cutting spending was the key.
"Somehow, we've got to quit spending," he said. "I don't care what your political persuasion is, we need to look at spending as a whole and create a culture that makes people want to excel and want to work. I'm not sure we can write a piece of legislation that can make that happen."
Campbell said the Legislature needs to take a good hard look at which state programs work and which don't through routine evaluations.
"We really need to take a serious look at, are these programs doing what they're supposed to be doing?" she said.
Barnes said he believed West Virginia could create a more business-friendly climate by becoming a right-to-work state.
"The statistics nationwide show that the jobs are going to the right-to-work states," Barnes said. "You can say 'statistics are statistics,' but they're getting 90 percent of the jobs."
All four lawmakers agreed that businesses are experiencing problems with hiring and retaining workers due to a rampant drug problem in the state. Barnes said he thought physicians, like pharmacists, should participate in a real-time system that would track how many and what kind of prescriptions their patients had obtained.
"We require pharmacists to participate (in tracking programs), but we don't require physicians to participate, and there's been a great deal of resistance from the health care community," Barnes said. "But we hope the physicians will get involved because the physicians are the ones writing the prescriptions."
While Barnes said he saw abuse of prescription medication as the number one drug problem, Hartman pointed toward methamphetamine.
"I see a meth arrest on the front page of the paper every three days," he said. "Drug abuse affects every segment of life, and I'm not sure we really know what the answer is."
Legislators also discussed the high need for infrastructure improvements, particularly to state and county roads.
"We're a rural state and we depend on our roads," Tucker said. "We can't let our secondary roads deteriorate. Now, I'm not in favor of raising taxes, but we need to stop that trend because that's our livelihood."
Campbell said she thought the Legislature should consider tacking a fee onto drivers' licenses that could be funneled into a fund for road maintenance.
"We really do need to seriously look at that," she said.
More than 100 people attended Wednesday's luncheon, which was sponsored by Kingsford, Huntington Bank and The Manahan Group.

It's good that Republicans are finally willing to move forward on immigration reform, pledging to push through legislation by summer that would provide a possible path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people now in this country illegally.
While the critical details must be worked out among President Obama, the Senate and the House, just the fact that Republicans are willing to talk about legal status for illegal immigrants is a breakthrough.
Providing such a path for those immigrants is the right thing to do. One of those providing leadership on this issue, Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledged the failure of previous bipartisan efforts and proposals, but says this will be the year "… Congress finally gets it done."
The signs point in that direction, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., acknowledging his party's motivation for its change in attitude: "Elections. Elections." The Republican Party has lost the support of Hispanics – Obama received 71 percent of the Latino vote in November. Hispanics will continue to favor Democrats as long as Republicans continue to block progress on the issue.
Immigration reform shouldn't come at the expense of border control, and the Senate proposal would increase border security. It would allow more temporary workers to stay and crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants. That's a sketchy framework, but it's a start. Obama and members of the House are working on their own proposals, so for once the political system seems to be working.
Achieving immigration reform won't be easy. The pushback, particularly over the path to citizenship, has already begun. But the obvious fact is that there are 11 million immigrants here illegally, and there is no way to send them back. Dealing with those immigrants in a way that strengthens the nation should be the goal.
Efforts at the federal level dovetail with the New York State DREAM Act, introduced by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and co-sponsored by Assemblyman Francisco Moya of Queens and Higher Education Committee Chairwoman Deborah J. Glick.
The bill seems to have gained traction with fellow Democrat Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the Republicans who share control of the State Senate.
The state DREAM Act would allow children of undocumented residents to qualify for the state Tuition Assistance Program and create a private state-regulated scholarship fund to promote higher education among immigrants. Silver's proposal projects the costs at about $20 million per year, though critics say spending would be much higher.
The TAP proposal would build on current law that since 2002 has allowed illegal immigrant students in New York to pay the lower, in-state tuition at public colleges. Other states already offer financial aid to children of illegal immigrants, including Texas, New Mexico and California.
Giving those students an opportunity to earn a college degree should help the state's economy as those young adults earn more and pay higher taxes.
There are 11 million illegal immigrants already making lives for themselves in the United States. Maintaining barriers that keep them from becoming even more productive citizens is detrimental to us all.

Should 4 year olds have to legally attend school or should it be a parenting decision to send a child to preschool?
4 year olds required to attend school?
Should 4 year olds have to legally attend school or should it be a parenting decision to send a child to preschool?
Mom to DS 01/2007, DD 09/2008, and DS 09/2016
I also think this just another step toward taking away parental rights.
And finally, I didn't put this in the OP but where will the funding for this come from? It was not mentioned in the bill, the bill is literally the current law with the number 5 crossed out and 4 in its place.
Teachers I have spoken to on this issue are pretty split, some think it is great others are just as outraged as I am. I have noticed that generally those who would have sent their kid to preschool anyway love the idea and those who would have preferred to keep their child home don't like it. And some stated that for "certain populations" it is a great idea (yikes!).
Mom to DS 01/2007, DD 09/2008, and DS 09/2016
In my country of origin, kids don't start until they are 7.
Where I'm living now, they do exactly what you said- they must be 4 by September 1 in their first year of "big" school, so my son started school at 4.
He just turned 5 in December and although I had many many reservations, he is absolutely thriving and loving every minute. They are halfway through the year and he is reading simple books already.
A lot of the day is spent doing songs, crafts, swimming, PE etc so although it's a long day (7:30-2pm) much of it is fun.
I can see pros of waiting until 7 too- in fact we were going to enrol them in a Waldorf school back at home- but we live in extreme weather conditions here where there is not always a lot for kids to do during the day- so this early start has actually been a godsend for us.
If you removed all the arteries, veins, & capillaries from a person's body, and tied them end-to-end...the person will die.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Better late than early. 4 is way too young for many children. I have several friends who have held their kids back until they are almost 6 before going to kinder. They felt the children just weren't emotionally ready.
I suspect this law stems from some misguided effort to improve educational outcomes. putting younger children into a failing system will not suddenly make it work. that's just throwing good money after bad.

Where Im from all 4 year olds are in school, I cannot imagine what my 4 yr old would do at home with me all day.
She has friends, loves school. Its purely my opinion, but I feel that at age 4 kids benefit so much from being in school and with daily friends. My daughter is actually bored at home on the weekends, she misses school!
Why are you all so outraged? By this age MOST are more than ready for a structured school environment.

The community has until Monday, May 6 at 3 p.m. to vote for Kathy Green, a fifth-grade teacher at Summerville Elementary School who was a guest on LIVE with Kelly and Michael this week, for "Top Teacher."
"LIVE" has extended the voting for "Top Teacher" to May 6, and the 2013 Top Teacher will be announced on Tuesday, May 7, on "LIVE."
Following a moving piece about the remarkable work that Green does for her students, she walked out to a standing ovation from the "LIVE" audience. Then, hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan presented Green with an trophy for everything she does.
Green also received 30 Intel Inspired Toshiba Ultrabook Convertibles for her classroom, and a $5,000 shopping spree at Talbots.
On Friday, May 3, after each finalist has appeared on "LIVE," it will be time for the viewers to vote. The teacher with the most votes will be the 2013 overall Top Teacher, and that person will be announced on Tuesday, May 7.
The winner will take home a brand-new 2014 ford Escape, and the winner's school will receive $25,000.
"Mrs. Green exemplifies what a teacher is and should be for her children," said Lori Dibble, principal, Summerville Elementary. "She genuinely believes all children were born for greatness and works hard to foster those unique gifts and talents. I encourage everyone to get out there and vote Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for Kathy Green so the Low Country can claim ownership to the Nations greatest teacher!"
Please visit the school's website for Mrs. Green's footage from Live with Kelly and Michael, as well as the link to voting: http://dorchester.ses.schoolfusion.us.
The finalists were chosen based on online voting.
The other four finalists are Erin Palonen from Griswold, Conn, Ann Marie Rooney from New Rochelle, NY, Suzette Steward from Katy, Texas and Rick Zano from Virginia Beach, Va.
Green was in the middle of a lesson when the semifinalist announcement was made. School officials taped the portion of the show during which the semifinalists were named and surprised the teacher shortly after by playing the recording for her class.
For the contest show producers asked viewers to nominate teachers for being outstanding mentors to their students in and out of the classroom, for making their schools better, and for going above and beyond to serve their communities.
Green was nominated by Kristin Schulz. Her daughter, Lydia, was in Green's fourth-grade class last year and is in her fifth-grade class this year.

Horizon Air announced Wednesday it is shoring up flight frequencies on some routes and discontinuing service on others -- including dropping its only Redmond-Los Angeles non-stop -- effective with its fall schedule, starting Aug. 22.
Service from Seattle to Pasco and Vancouver, and from Medford to Los Angeles, will be reduced by one flight in each market to help boost profitability on the remaining flights. Seattle-Kelowna service will be reduced by one flight in the fall, but it will be reinstated during the busier winter season.
The discontinued routes are Boise to Idaho Falls, Boise to Los Angeles, Flagstaff/Prescott to Los Angeles, Eureka/Redding to Seattle, Redmond to Los Angeles, and Sacramento to Santa Barbara.
?It's unfortunate when schedule frequency is reduced or service discontinued, and we regret any inconvenience these changes will cause,? said Dan Russo, Horizon?s vice president of marketing and communications. ?In all cases, we explored a variety of alternatives before arriving at this outcome. I would like to thank our employees who provided such great service on these routes and our customers who supported us.?
Customers holding tickets on flights affected by the changes will be re-accommodated on other flights or offered a full refund.
Horizon used to have two RDM-LAX non-stops, but dropped one in June 2008, replacing early-morning and evening flights with midday flights it called more suitable for vacation travelers. In August of that year, the airline responded to soaring fuel prices by canceling several flights, including two in and out of Central Oregon, dropping from five to four daily flights to Portland and four to three direct flights to Seattle.
Horizon currently has 57 aircraft in its fleet: 40 Bombardier Q400 turboprops and 17 Bombardier CRJ-700 jets. In conjunction with these flight reductions, Horizon plans to sublease four of its CRJ-700s to another party. Horizon is in the process of transitioning to an all-Q400 fleet for greatest efficiency, and this move will bring the airline closer to that goal.
"I don't like it - it's never good to lose direct service - but one stop through SFO is not bad - not great, but not bad," said Redmond Airport Manager Carrie Novick.
"They are selling their (regional jets), so they are shrinking the company," she said. "We will look for another airline to come in - and there are some possibilities. The passengers are still there."

WATCH: 9/11 truther grabs mic at postgame interview
Posted February 3rd, 2014 @ 9:47am by Matt Cantor, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – A member of the "9/11 truther" movement took over the microphone at a Super Bowl postgame interview last night, albeit briefly, Mediaite reports. As game MVP Malcolm Smith was being interviewed, the man got in a few words: "Investigate 9/11. 9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government." As the man was ushered out, Smith suggested his press pass be checked. The man, since identified as Brooklynite Matthew Mills, 30, did have a pass on his neck, NJ.com notes, but it wasn't a Super Bowl one.

2008 Federal Income Tax Brackets: Official IRS Figures
|Email Print
Here are the Projected 2009 Federal Income Tax Brackets, projected in the same way and by the same people as did the last projection.
Last September a bunch of places started giving previews of the 2008 IRS tax brackets prior to the IRS revealing them, such as Kiplinger's and the WSJ, and I wanted to compare them to the actual 2008 tables. All in all, it appears that the calculations made by the experts were spot on when compared to the figures revealed by the IRS. It makes sense though because the calculations were based on government released inflation figures. Here are the official IRS tax bracket numbers:
2008 IRS Tax Brackets
|Tax Rate
|Married Filing Jointly
|Not over $8,025
|Not over $16,050
|$8,025 – $32,550
|$16,050 – $65,100
|$32,550 – $78,850
|$65,100 – $131,450
|$78,850 – $164,550
|$131,450 – $200,300
|$164,550 – $357,700
|$200,300 – $357,700
|Over $357,700
|Over $357,700
2008 IRS Deduction, Exemption & Limit Changes
Finally, all the 2008 deduction and exemption values were published by the IRS in October, here are the notable increases (or unchanged values):
- Personal and dependency exemptions increase $100 to $3500 each.
- Standard deduction for married couples filing jointly increases $200 to $10,900. Singles and married filing separately increases $100 to $5,450. Heads of households get a $150 increase to $8,000.
- Maximum earned income tax credit (for low/moderate income workers and families with 2+ children) increases from $4716 to $4824. The income limit for this increased to $41,646.
- The maximum Hope credit increases $150 to $1,800.
- Roth IRA contribution limit phase outs begin at $101,000 (+$2k) for singles and HoH, $159,000 (+3k) for married.
- 401(k) and 403(b) contribution limits remain unchanged at $15,500.
- Annual limit for most defined contribution plans increases to $46,000 from $45,000.

Aug. 6, 1947 – June 21, 2013
Stephen H. Carr, of Le Roy, the former head of the C.L. Carr Co. department store, which dominated downtown Batavia for more than 80 years, died Friday while doing one of his favorite pastimes, swimming. He was 65.
Mr. Carr was the third generation of his family to head the store, which closed in 2001, a victim of the national chain-anchored mall that stretched along the city's western border.
An Army veteran of the Vietnam War, he attended Syracuse University.
Mr. Carr was a member of the Batavia Rotary Club, which honored him as a Paul Harris Fellow.
He also served on the Genesee County Industrial Development Agency.
He is survived by his wife, Anne Elizabeth Collier Carr, and two sons, Benjamin H.C. and Theodore M.R.
Services will be at noon Saturday in First Presbyterian Church, 301 East Main St., Batavia.

I'm curious about what the rest of you ladies are!
I personally have a monotheistic belief, meaning I believe in one God, but I don't follow Christianity or any other religion for that matter. I believe in being a good person, having empathy for others without having to be in their shoes, and I believe in loving my neighbor as myself. I grew up in a Orthodox Catholic school, and that was always a struggle for me. I have a tendency to question EVERYTHING, and that didn't turn out so good for me with them. (They HATED me questioning their beliefs). I have a belief in the afterlife, I believe in paranormal, I do believe in "other species" not necessarily like aliens, but I believe in other intelligent life, and I believe that religion and politics are the oldest tricks in the book. Divide and Conquer.
But thats just me! What about you ladies?

A Nevada County judge has ruled against The Union newspaper in its efforts to force Nevada Joint Union High School District to disclose documents pertaining to the termination of former Superintendent Marianne Cartan.
The paper filed a complaint last month against the school district board of trustees, seeking the release of the information pursuant to the California Public Records Act.
But after conducting his own review of the documents, Nevada County Superior Court Judge Sean Dowling denied The Union's petition for a writ of mandate, ruling that no records were found that would trump Cartan's privacy interests.
"Obviously, we are disappointed with the ruling," said The Union Editor Brian Hamilton. "To this point, the district's elected officials have declined to share their rationale with the community on the decision to terminate Marianne Cartan's contract. We took this action to gain access to public records in order to shed some light — in order to inform the public — as to why the board decided to change the leadership of the district."
Following Cartan's termination "without cause" March 13, the district's board of trustees declined to provide information to the public on the rationale for its 3-2 decision.
Reporter Jennifer Terman filed a public records request specifically requesting Cartan's last three evaluations. The school district's attorney, A. Christopher Duran, provided the agenda and minutes from the March 13 board meeting, as well as a copy of her contract. But Duran said all other records were privileged and contained confidential personnel information that was exempt from disclosure.
Cartan, who made $135,000 a year, had received a positive annual review in December 2012. Following her release in March, board President Katy Schwarz acknowledged the teachers' association had declared a no-confidence vote in Cartan in a survey that had been provided to the board.
The school district had conducted its own survey of school administrators, and that was also reviewed by the board prior to its decision to terminate Cartan.
Those two surveys, as well as the performance evaluations, were among the records that were requested by The Union.
Dowling previously said the bottom line was the balancing of the right to individual privacy versus the Public Records Act.
In the ruling issued Wednesday, Dowling noted that disclosure of personnel records of the type requested by The Union have only been ordered in very limited circumstances that include allegations of misconduct.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the Court in fact reviewed the documents to determine if issues of sufficient public interest were buried within ... The in-camera review showed no evidence of any conduct supporting disclosure as a matter of public policy."
Dowling wrote that public curiosity is not a substitute for public interest, which must be substantial. And because there are no allegation of misconduct or complaints sufficient to heighten the public's interest — or any evidence of those — Cartan's privacy interests "clearly outweigh" the public interest in disclosure.
"With all due respect, we feel the judge missed the point on why the public has a very legitimate interest in knowing why Cartan was terminated," said The Union's attorney, Tom Kelley, noting that she was let go "without cause" after the teacher survey, despite receiving good reports and contract extensions.
Kelley added that no decision has been made as to whether The Union will appeal Dowling's ruling.
"It's very much under consideration," he said.

Speaking at the American Association of Cancer Research conference held in Denver recently, Stephen B. Baylin, M.D., professor of oncology and medicine at Johns Hopkins University, declared, "We're at an exciting era. It's still all about the genome." But, rather than focusing on the sequencing, the "era of epigenetics," as he called it, "focuses on the topology of the genome—how the nucleosomes are arranged in a three-dimensional fashion—to better understand the origins of cancer."
As Bradley E. Bernstein, director of pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, later explained, "The term epigenome describes the packaging of the genome. Epigenetic refers to a process that maintains the cell state stably, ideally through mitosis. A classic example is gene repression." At the biochemical level, they involve contributions from many interacting components, including histome modifications, cancer protein, ncRNAs, and transcriptions factors. "Histome modifications themselves are not sufficient."
Researchers are finding that "abnormal gene silencing associated with gene promoter DNA hypermethylation is linked to key aspects of chromatin regulation of gene expression, which maintains the state of embryonic stem progenitor cells," Dr. Baylin said.
"In most of the normal genome, CpG is packaged away, protected from DNA methylation. In the cancer epigenome, however, "many regions ought to be closed but are open and many that should be open have become methylated and, therefore, are closed," he added. In his work, Dr. Baylin and his lab used a colon cancer cell line to determine genes that appear most frequently. Frequency and DNA hypermethylation were then overlapped.
Individual patients have about 40 mutations, but 300 to 400 instances of DNA hypermethylation, Dr. Baylin reported. "If you only look at the genes that occur with high frequency, you have missed important genes," he emphasized.
Dr. Baylin's lab uses Infinium luminescent technology by Illumina for genotyping, querying only a few sets of genes on the genome. "It is a good screen for methylation across the genome," he pointed out. He added that embryonic stem cells lack methylation. Leukemia and cancer cells, however, have abnormal DNA methylation. "That's a stark reality in cancer and is a microcosm of the cancer genome."
DNA hypermethylation seems to play a causative role in the onset of cancer. In fact, he said, "DNA methylation fosters tumorigenesis." Of 610 candidate genes studied in a colon cancer cell line, 300 were PcG marked in embryonic stem cells or mesenchymal cells. Dr. Baylin plans to study that more broadly using ChIP deep sequencing.
In analyzing tiling arrays for key chromatin marks that are specific to developing cell types, he found that the polycomb (repressive system) mark is really a balance of marks rather than one that is on or off. "It is bivalent chromatic that hold stem cell genes in a poised state." His working hypothesis is that bivalent chromatin can be remodeled in many cells as they differentiate. "When the system is challenged to renew, the genes are marked by polycomb."
The epigenetic gatekeepers—like GATA transcription factors and APC—help stabilize stem cells or block cellular renewal. "I propose there are epigenetic steps as well," Dr. Baylin suggested. "For example, abnormal epigenetic memory could drive cells forward to proliferation."
In terms of regulation in metazoans, which is critical in regulating behavior in cells, Dr. Bernstein stated, "One thinks of polycombs and trithorax proteins," which help maintain lineage-specific gene-expression proteins.
In mammalian and mouse stem cells, he explained, "there are many bivalent domains, characterized by the juxtaposition of the repressive polycomb mark and the actived trithorax mark found throughout the genome. These bivalent domains are associated with many developmental regulator genes that are inactive in embryonic stem cells but are rapidly induced along specific differentiation pathways. That helps poise genes for future activation.
Dr. Bernstein's lab looked at other models, including hematopoietin development, focusing on Pax5 master regulator, a B-cell lineage-specific protein that regulates early-stage B-cell differentiation. Looking at in vivo CD34 cells sorted from cord blood, Pax5 is sitting in a bivalent chromatin state, "whereas, in the CD19 B cells, the polycomb is stripped out," leaving an active promoter and evidence of p36 elongation. Conversely MyoD, in the hematopoietic lineage, is robustly silenced by polycomb repression.
Additional studies of protein complexes in embryonic stem cells found that PRC2, which catalyzes H3K27 mer3, and PRC1, which blocks RNA polymerase elongation, closely interact in epigenetic repression. All the bivalent domains are contained PRC2, but fewer than half also are contained PRC1. PRC1 and -2 behave differently, with PRC2 triggering a smaller degree of repression than PRC1.
In another in vitro study, all the cancer proteins were lost. "That's associated with hypermethylation and is not recapitulated in vivo. In vitro is where most of the hypermethylation occurs," which caused Dr. Bernstein to question whether hypermethylation is, in fact, an artifact. "It may be, but it is very relevant in human cancer."

NEGLEY - A road targeted by Middleton Township trustees for possible closure has drawn the attention of state and county employees willing to help keep it open.
Trustees Nancy Michaels, Eldena Gearhart and Timothy Pancake said over the summer that Echo Dell Road is dangerous for travel and unless funding is made available for the necessary improvements, it should be closed.
The improvements, including the installation of guardrails, were estimated to cost more than a million dollars.
Michaels and Gearhart said last week the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) donated 50 tons of grindings to the township to improve the road's condition. The township road crew put the grindings down recently and trustees said that although more improvements are needed, it did help significantly.
Trustees also said they are waiting to hear back from ODOT on whether the state department can acquire funding for the installation of a culvert pipe that would address the drainage problem.
The township owns the narrow, steep and winding half-mile of road that serves as a northern access into Beaver Creek State Park and is responsible for its maintenance. The road is bordered by a steep hillside on one side and a deep ravine on the other and has slowly eroded over time due to lack of proper drainage.
Township road foreman Tom Reidy said previously that maintenance is difficult because of the road's location between the hillside and ravine. He told trustees that attempting to keep the ditches clear was a "never-ending problem" because of all the water run-off.
Other departments looking to improve the road are the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of State Parks and the county engineer's office.
The ODNR, which Gearhart had said in July was leaning toward the closure, is now looking for available funding for improvements, and the engineer's office is seeking a small government grant, trustees said.
County Engineer Bert Dawson has said that closing the road would be a detriment to the park.
The main entrance into the state park is located at the southern end of Echo Dell Road in St. Clair Township.
