The city has delayed repairs on the F-Float dock at Percival Landing until the job can be done at the right price.
Construction was originally scheduled for this fall after the project received funding in the 2013 budget. However, the city needed to obtain new permits for the design process. Now the goal is to replace the moorage floats on the dock before the June 2014 boating season.
The F-Float is one of three such docks at Percival Landing, located downtown along Columbia Street. The deteriorating dock was closed last January.
The replacement project also calls for a new vessel pump-out station for waste, along with water and electricity for moored boats.
On Dec. 17, the Olympia City Council rejected four bids to replace the dock. Each bid came in at more than twice the project engineer's estimate of $406,000.
Bids ranged from a low of $837,629 to a high of $979,200. Bidders were Pacific Pile and Marine, American Construction Co., McClure and Sons Inc. and Quigg Bros. Inc.
The next step is to modify the estimate through feedback with suppliers and contractors, said Kip Summers, project engineer. There is no definite timeline, but Summers thinks the city could have a new estimate ready by the end of January.
The completed F-Float should accommodate up to 15 boaters, who can pay from $11 to $14 a night. City officials hope the upgrade will encourage more recreational boaters to eat, shop and play in Olympia.
"Every time we get a boat tied up and spending a night in downtown Olympia, that means extra commerce for our downtown," said Mayor Stephen Buxbaum.
"Having those docks open and available for recreational boaters needs to be a priority for the city."
Along with the Olympia Farmers Market, Percival Landing is an important gateway and first impression for downtown, Buxbaum said.
"We want to make sure the front door to Puget Sound looks beautiful and is as functional as it can be," he said.
Percival Landing's D-Float and E-Float will remain open and will eventually be due for replacement.
Replacing all three floats at Percival Landing would cost about $5 million total, according to the city. In 2011, the city completed the first phase of reconstruction at Percival Landing for $14 million.
That project replaced the central section of the boardwalk and added the Harbor House and two pavilions.

DOVER, Del - When you have an emergency at times you may call 911, but one Delaware man took things a little too far.Delaware State Police say 61-year old Alan Zihal of Dover dialed 911 because he was drunk and lonely.
According to police, Zihal called 911 three times from the Super 8 Motel in Harrington back in April.
WBOC obtained a recording of one of those 911 calls. When the operator asked Zihal what was his emergency, his response was inaudible during the call that lasted less than a minute.
Lt. Earl Brode of the Harrington Police Department tells WBOC that Zihal also asked the operator for cigarettes, alcohol and sexual favors. Dispatchers in the Kent County 911 center say non-emergency calls are a growing problem.It's a problem that State Police Cpl. Gary Fournier said ties up an operator from taking a life-threatening call. "In that time spent where a person's life may be in danger or we need to get an ambulance or fire or police officer out to a location quickly, an operator may be tied up answering a call on some other non-life-threatening or non-emergency call," Fournier said.Fournier said that while 911 is for emergencies only, there are non-emergency numbers that can be utilized.
"We want to make sure that if people don't understand what the non-emergency numbers are you can call 911, but they're going to ask right away is it an emergency. Just make sure you say, 'No it's not an emergency,'" Fournier said.Fournier also says a person convicted of abusing 911 can be fined up to $1,150 and spend up to six months in jail.The non-emergency number for Kent County is: (302) 739-4863.In Sussex County, the non-emergency number is (302) 855-2980.In New Castle County, the non-emergency number is (302) 573-2800.

Here's a rundown on recent police incidents in Pelham Manor:
Pit Bull Bites Boy 7/11/11
4:53 p.m.: A man told police that a pit bull bit his son on the leg. The man stated that he walked to Maple Avenue to pick up his son, who was being dropped off by a Pelham recreation camp bus. When he approached his son, the boy was crying and holding his right leg. The boy told his father that a brown pit bull had bitten him on his leg. The boy said the pit bull's owner gave him his cell phone number, but police had negative results when they tried to call the man. The boy was taken to the hospital, where a doctor said he had a minor laceration and bruising on his thigh.
Phony Village Department Worker: 7/13/11
4:37 p.m.: A 1st Avenue resident called police and said that a man in his 20s had come to her door, told her he was from the water company and requested to see her water pipes. The resident refused to allow the man into her home and was unaware of any problems with the water in the area. Police came to the woman's home, but when they arrived the man was gone. He reportedly left the area in a gray pickup truck.
Woman Allegedly Harasses Husband at Work : 7/12/11
9:56 a.m.: A man told police that his wife had walked into his place of work, a bank on Fifth Avenue, and disrupted his office when he wouldn't talk to her about an incident that happened one month ago. The man said his wife followed him to the police office headquarters, still attempting to talk with him. The wife said her husband had recently moved out of their house and refuses to speak with her. Officers told the wife to stay away from her husband's place of work and let some time pass before contacting him.

In the five days since Rev 3 Anderson ended, A few folks noticed the change in my twitter updates with a sudden focus on food instead of training. This was a result of 3 factors:
1. I haven't done a damn thing since the race in terms of exercise.
2. I've been doing more of the cooking duties working from home and with Rach working a lot more hours
3. From about an hour after Anderson ended, I've been STARVING. I mean like continually hungry!
I took some additional time to think about what I want to work on during the off-season, with a focus on areas where I can just improve my overall health, and where I can get faster for races. Being that I can improve in almost every area of the races, I wanted to focus on the portions that I think will do "double duty" in terms of improving my health and my speed.
After some careful thought on the matter, I reaffirmed some earlier ideas and came up with a couple other areas of focus, whittling the winter focus down to 4 things:
1. Weight loss. As has really been the overarching reason why I got into triathlon in the first place, this is goal #1 over the winter. While I've mostly plateaued over the past 2 years, I've also kept off the 56 pounds I lost in 2007-08, which is something I'm really proud of. My new employers offers discounted Weight Watchers membership which I can take advantage of in just a couple weeks. Between that and making this my heavy focus this winter, I'm going to hit the weight goals I set in the post a few weeks ago. The goals and progress against them will be prominently displayed on the blog starting on Sunday.
2. Running. Every time I've put emphasis on running I've made progress, but I've always given that progress back because I didn't stick with it. Because running is such a challenge for me, and I don't enjoy it, running is the first workout I've
been willing was happy to drop when time crunches came up. But the more I've thought about it, the more I realize how closely this is tied to both my overall health improvement and reducing my race time. Just by getting my run time down to what the average healthy person can do (6 MPH) would drop my 10k time by 30 minutes. It's just plain stupid that haven't made this a big focus in my training considering it's both my biggest weakness and the easiest way for me to make major racing gains.
3. Swimming. It hit me after this last race that I've been thinking about my swim all wrong. Here I've been thinking that because I've gotten to the point that I can get through the water without feeling gassed in the middle that I had been in a good place. I hadn't really thought about how much energy I was exerting on the swim until Anderson, when halfway up the steep hill coming out of the park I had to stop. I knew it was a bit steep, but it wasn't that steep. In the end, I was only 10 minutes off my goal time for the bike over 25 miles, but I need to get my swimming to the point where any swim distance up through Ironman feels comfortable. Maybe 2.4 miles won't ever feel "easy" but it can and should feel like I'm not going all out just to make it under the time limit. Having nearly unfettered access to a pool that isn't constantly busy will be a big part of that this winter.
4. Bike climbing. The flattest triathlon I've ever done was Club Nationals in South Carolina. It was pancake flat. I averaged almost 20 MPH, which is at least 4 MPH higher than I've averaged in any other race. Other than that, no race I've ever done is truly flat, and the majority of the time I've lost on the bike is from climbing. Living in Boston, to find hills, I had to basically bike out of town or do repeats on a couple of highway overpasses. Where we are in NC, there isn't a local ride yet longer than 3 miles that I can find that doesn't have at least rollers. I've created some segments in Strava for the local climbs that should help a lot with tracking this progress.
So now that I've talked about what training will be like this "winter" (seriously, what I'm hearing about winter here isn't winter to me. It'll be like spring training all winter long), what are the races that will keep me motivated in doing all that training? I'm still working on the 2012 schedule, but here's what I know about the rest of 2011:
Oct 30th – Monster Dash 5k, Raleigh, NC
Nov 5th – Shipwreck Sprinternational Triathlon (1k swim, 30k bike, 8k run), Holden Beach, NC
Nov 24th – Smoke the Turkey 5k, Toledo, OH
December 3rd – Reindeer Romp 5k, Cary, NC
It's enough of a fall season with easy targets to train towards that it should give me plenty of motivation. Now I've got one last day of off-season, and I get to spend it at the ultimate off-season spot: The North Carolina State Fair. They fry things there that most people don't even know you can eat.
PS. The best news is that I've lost weight during the week, another 2 whole pounds! Don't tell my brain though, it'll think I can eat like this all the time.

Voluntary Early Separation Pay/Early Retirement Pay. In the military draw-down of the early 90s, Congress authorized a special pay for military members who volunteered to separate early from the military, or volunteered to retire early. This special authorization expired years ago. Section 643 of the new law, re-enacts voluntary separation pay and voluntary early retirement pay, for members who voluntarily separate early in conjunction with a pre-planned military draw-down program. This is focused primarily at the Air Force, who has announced they may be cutting up to 40,000 military and civilian positions between now and 2011.
As the law does not require a service to pay this special pay, and does not provide for any additional funding -- and -- especially as none of the branches asked Congress for this provision, it is unclear whether or not any of the services will take advantage of the program, before the authority expires in 2008.
Other Matters
Maximum Enlistment Age. Section 543 of the bill increases the maximum non-prior service enlistment age for active duty enlistments from age 35 to age 42. The Army was the only service which petitioned Congress for this change, so it is doubtful that any of the other active duty services will increase their maximum non-prior service enlistment ages, especially considering that two of the services (Marine Corps and Air Force) have maximum active duty enlistment ages far below age 35, which was the limit under previous law.
It's unclear how the Army will implement this change. Some sources have unofficially stated that the Army will limit over age-35 enlistments to individuals who already have skills, training, and experience in certain Army critical specialties (such as linguists), and other sources have speculated that the Army will limit it to only a small percent of enlistees per year.
Maximum Term of Active Duty Enlistment. Previous law limits the maximum active duty years for an initial enlistment to six years. Section 544 of the bill allows the services to offer an eight year active duty enlistment contract.
Active Duty End Strength. Section 401 of the bill increases the authorized strength of the active duty Army by 10,000 and of the active duty Marine Corps by 1,000. New active duty end-strength ceilings are:
- Army, 512,400
- Navy, 352,700
- Marine Corps, 179,000
- Air Force, 357,400

Dr. Ann Lupkowski Shoplik
Director, C-MITES
Reprinted from C-MITES News, Fall 2000
Much has been said and written about acceleration for gifted children. It is an emotional topic, about which many people have incorrect assumptions. The large research base clearly shows that acceleration works out very well for most students who skip a grade or advance in a subject.
There are many forms of acceleration. Grade-skipping, subject matter acceleration (where a student advances in only one subject), and early entrance to kindergarten, high school, or college are the major forms of acceleration. Grade-skipping is perhaps the most "radical" form of acceleration, where a student actually skips over one or more grade levels.
What should you think about if your student is considering a grade skip? Here are a number of points for you to discuss:
- First, is the student ready for the advanced material? Will the pace, depth, and level of the new material be appropriate? Students who have already done well in their current grade and have demonstrated mastery of topics offered in the grade they intend to skip are good candidates for acceleration. It is also helpful if those students have already scored in the 95th percentile or above on grade-level achievement and aptitude tests and have an IQ of 130 or above.
- Students who are socially and emotionally mature tend to be better candidates for acceleration. This is especially an issue of concern for younger students. Five-year-olds who already have six- and seven-year old playmates are better candidates for acceleration than those who do not.
- Physical development is also an issue. Students who are big for their age wont look as "different" in a group of older students. Children who are likely to be active in sports may regret skipping a grade, and families need to think carefully about the ramifications of their decision if they expect the student to be involved in sports in the future.
- The "receiving teacher" is an important person in this discussion. It is imperative that the person who will teach the young student is accepting of the idea. Especially if a grade-skip occurs in the middle of the school year, it is important for the teacher to prepare the other students in the class for the younger student. This teacher may also need to make accommodations for the younger student. For example, a 6-year-old in a 3rd grade classroom might be able to comprehend the material and perform well in class, but that students handwriting skills might be less well-developed than grademates.
- The time to accelerate should also be considered. Its easier to skip a grade at the beginning of the school year than in the middle of the school year. Its easier to skip a grade at natural transition points, such as when a student moves into a new building or to a new district. Its easier for the student to form friendships and less likely that he or she will stand out.
- Grade-skipping vs. subject matter acceleration: If a student has equally well-developed skills in all academic areas, it is possible to consider a total grade skip. However, some students arent ready for this, and subject-matter acceleration might be the best alternative for that student. If a student accelerates in one subject, the major concerns seem to be: transportation (if the student needs to go to another building for the more advanced subject) and scheduling (will I miss any of my fourth grade classes if I take science with the fifth graders?).
- The long-term ramifications of this decision are important. An early entrant to kindergarten may be the last in the class to get a drivers license, the last one to be allowed to date, etc. Also, this student will be ready for college one or more years earlier than originally anticipated. Has the family made adequate plans for financing the students college education a year earlier?
- When a student is going to skip a grade in school, one of the concerns is that the student might have "gaps" in his or her academic background. Sometimes, this concern about gaps is the reason that school personnel decide not to accelerate a student at all. We recommend that potential accelerants be given a curriculum-based assessment. These students would be tested using the curriculum that is offered in their school for the grade that they are planning to skip. The purpose of this testing is to determine what a student knows and doesnt know. Say, for example, "Polly" is going to skip 6th grade. She takes the 6th grade math final exam and correctly answers 95% of the material. Then, she works on the material she missed before starting the 7th grade. Sometimes, filling in the "gaps" takes as little as an hour of instructional time. This insures that the student begins the new grade with the same knowledge base as the other students in the grade. Please note that, on the curriculum-based assessment, we dont expect a student to earn a perfect score. When a student correctly answers 85% of the material or more, he or she has demonstrated mastery of the material.
- Generally, we recommend that students skip only one grade at a time. Students may need to skip another grade at a later date, however.
- Sometimes, simple acceleration isnt the answer. For example, an exceptionally talented student who accelerates one year in mathematics may find that the material in the older grade is still presented at the same pace (too slow) as in the regular grade. That student might need a teacher/mentor to work with him individually, to insure that the material is presented at the right pace and depth for this student.
Resources concerning acceleration:
The Iowa Acceleration Scale (IAS) by Susan G. Assouline, Nicholas Colangelo, Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik, and Jonathan Lipscomb. (Gifted Psychology Press, P.O. Box 5057, Scottsdale, AZ 85261. 602)954-4200.www.giftedpsychologypress.com. This scale was developed for use by school personnel, for making decisions about grade-skipping in kindergarten through 8th grades. It guides educators through a discussion of academic factors, school factors, developmental factors, interpersonal skills, and other important factors.
The Academic Acceleration of Gifted Children, by W. T. Southern and E. D. Jones. New York: Teachers College Press. This book summarizes pertinent research on acceleration.
The www.hoagiesgifted.com website contains a great deal of information on gifted education. See especially the page on acceleration: www.hoagiesgifted.org/acceler8.htm

Favorite ready to eat soups that can be taken to the office for lunch
I'm trying to bring my lunch more often and have a cheapo GF grill so I can make a grilled cheese and want soup with it. Today I had the Campbell's Select Harvest Light Southwestern Vegetable and it was very good (with my grilled cheddar on Ezekial bread) and am looking for more recommendations.
I am not looking to make my own soup and freeze, etc. for a number of reasons, so don't go there ;-)
last night I tried the new campbell's veggie orzo lite soup. it could easily become a new favorite. it had lentils, kale (? it did not seem to be spinach and I forgot to look at the label), zuchinni, carrot. It did seem like it could use more "stuff", but the flavor was very good.
I also purchased the italian wedding in this line, but have not tried it yet. my store was out of other flavors when I went this weekend.
re: jujuthomas
re: jujuthomas
I had the Progresso Light Vegetable Noodle today and it was very good. Had too much celery for my taste but was filling and the egg noodles weren't mushy at all. It also was well seasoned and didn't have that watery taste some "light" soups can have. 60 calories for one serving, 120 for the can. I had the can :-)
re: Janet from Richmond
that is one problem i have with progresso soups. i really dislike celery! I was telling DH about this italian-style wedding soup and noticed that the noodles are whole wheat. i think that's great, more soup makers should use ww pasta, IMHO. :)
I was checking the NI for the Progresso soups, and thought some of those single serving tubs looked good too. gotta start my grocery list!
For most canned soups I go straight to Campbell's and my favorites aren't very exotic. Clam Chowder is always good (almost always burn my tongue though). Tomato goes great with grilled cheese, so does split pea. When I was little my dad always mixed a can of Chicken Noodle with a can of Cream of Mushroom. Sometimes I get a can of vegetable beef or something similar and load it down with Tobasco Sauce. It reminds me of my mom's beef soup that I always added Tobasco to. If you want to go a step further, cut back a little on the Tobasco and toss some mustard seed, celery salt, bay leaf, and black pepper in there. And if you want to really get crazy, throw five or six raw frozen shrimp in the mix. Pour it all over some plain white rice and call it Quick and Dirty Gumbo.
I like most of the Progresso line - Chicken and wild rice, chicken noodle, chicken rotelli, vegetable, minestrone and lentil being my favorite.
Some of my favorites:
Chunky Healthy Request Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Chunky Healthy Request Chicken Corn Chowder
Campbell's Select Chicken Noodle
Trader Joe's Butternut Squash (in the box)
Progresso Lentil Soup
I don't know if this falls into the "making your own soup" category, but I love the Knorr instant soups from my local asian market. They have flavors like Hot and Sour, Chicken Corn, Vegetable, Tomato Noodle, etc. They are made in China and India so they have some nice asian flavors to them. You just mix them with water and boil for a couple minutes. I either make them the night before, or in the morning and pour into my tupperware container. Only takes a few minutes to make, and they taste really good with some crackers or crusty bread.
Amy's Amy's Amy's!!!! All of the Amy's soups i've had are amazing..... I currently have a shelf stocked with the split pea, vegetable barley, tom kha phak, curried lentil, lentil vegetable, southwestern fire roasted vegetable, and no chicken noodle.... amazing! Also their spicy vegetarian chili is awesome. I look forward to when it gets cooler all summer so that i can enjoy a nice bowl of amy's soup for lunch.... I can't say enough about it
I'm just jealous that you can use your GF grill at work. I'm a fool for grilled cheese and get so tired of buying from the cafe. That is just about as fun as having an Easy Bake Oven at your desk, in my opinion. :)
For soups, I like the boxed soups in the organic section of the supermarket. I can't think of the brand names I've liked off the top of my head, but I'd swear the tomato one I like comes in a black box. I'll have to look more closely the next time I get to the store. Happy grillin'!
re: kattyeyes
I am lucky that it's an unusual situation. I manage a small business and am the only person in the office, so it's my castle, so to speak. I have a full size frig, a microwave, a toaster oven and my GF grill, so I can make a lot of things :-)
I have sent this thread to my phone (love that feature!) and will be armed when I hit the grocery store.
I try to stay away from the 'Low Sodium' labels on the canned soups - they are, in most cases, pretty tasteless. Progresso has a new High Fiber! line that's pretty decent - I liked the Chicken Tuscany and the Homestyle Minestrone.
I always keep a few cans of something at work since I never really know if or when I'll be able to take lunch.
Other than Anderson's split pea and Amy's canned soups they all taste metallic to me. There are two brands of dehydrated soup base to which you add water, which I much prefer. I beliebe the brands are Nile and Fantastic. Oh, and come to think of it Healthy Valley also makes some decent canned soups; I really like their black bean. The Campbells southwestern corn and the V-8 broccoli (both in shelf-stable cartons) aren't bad either. Do you like miso soup? Sometimes by the referigerated sushi in your market (well, mine at least) are individual miso servings.

What is your earliest musical memory?
My earliest musical memory....my mom had just picked me up from preschool and Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" came onto the radio. I remember being amazed and inspired by her voice.
Tell us about your first ever DJ gig/live performance...
My first real live performance was when I was about 16. I performed at this music festival at the Waikiki Shell in Honolulu. I sang a duet with another local singer. It was a great night.
Who or what inspired you to start a career in music?
I've been singing since I was about two years old so I never had any doubts that I would be a singer. My family has always been incredibly supportive so I guess they're encouragement and love is what inspired me to really go for it.
What do you consider to be your greatest professional achievement?
Making music that people from all over the world enjoy, is what I consider to be my greatest professional achievement.
Any advice for budding young stars..?
My advice to young stars is to be yourself. This is a crazy business and there will be ups and downs with a lot of things that are out of your control. If you are true to yourself and try your hardest then no matter what happens, you can always be proud of what you've done.

Local businesses see increase in Black Friday sales
- Last Updated on 07:47 AM 12/04/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Despite the fact that stores opened earlier on Thanksgiving and remained open through Black Friday, this year did not prove to be as successful nationally as it has been in previous years.
According to numbers from Shopper Trak, sales for U.S retailers gained 2.3 percent on Thanksgiving and Black Friday falling in line with its prediction of a 2.4 percent gain, the weakest holiday results since 2009.
However, reports of sales in Halifax County seemed more positive over Thanksgiving weekend with some businesses reporting sales being up over last year's holiday weekend.
Peddlers Market owner Tom Shepherd said sales at his Main Street Halifax stores "did very well" over the Thanksgiving weekend with sales up 12 percent over last year. At least 70 to 80 people visited his shop throughout the weekend, he reported.
John Lantor, owner of Lantor's in downtown South Boston, said his women's apparel store also did very well on Black Friday and reported even better sales on small business Saturday.
He was pleased to see traffic increase in downtown South Boston reporting better sales than last year during the same holiday weekend.
For McCollum Ferrell Shoes, sales were very steady, and business was better Saturday than it was Friday, according to storeowner David McCollum. He said they fortunate to have the business they get which he attributes to service, selection and fit that other stores don't provide.
Enchanted Surroundings' owner Pasty Owen was happy to report good sales on Friday, but even greater sales on Saturday making for total sales "a little better" than in the previous year. At least 150 people visited her store over the holiday weekend, she estimated, with people coming from as far as Raleigh, Philadelphia and Georgia to visit her store, something she described as "a yearly tradition."
Anthony Wilks, a manager at Walmart Supercenter, said sales there were "pretty good this year," and he reported when a tally of sales was done, the bottom line was better than last year's.
At Goody's Clothing Store sales were brisk with "a really great turnout" from the public, according to First Assistant Manager Cindy Rickman. She said sales were better than last year.
Simon Jones, manager of Lowes, said plenty of staff was available throughout the holiday weekend, and the store was "well prepared" for the business they received over the weekend.
"We were busy all weekend," he added.
Rue 21 Manager Brittany Dunlap said it was a successful Black Friday weekend for the Centerville store reporting sales that equalled last year's sales. She reported hundreds of shoppers visited the store over the weekend.
Sales started to pick up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and continued to get better throughout the weekend at Catos, Manager Gladys Frierson said. Sales were about the same as last year, and the store did better on Wednesday and Friday.
Shameka Woody, manager at Shoe Dept, said sales went really well there, and a few hundred people came out to shop over the weekend.
Sears employee Josh Guill said their store did well this year with sales pretty much the same as last year remaining steady throughout the weekend.
Belk Manager Shane Markham reported "terrific sales" over the holiday weekend.
On Thursday between 8 to 10 p.m. more shoppers were inside the store than ever before with clerks reporting the highest amount of hourly sales in the South Boston Belk store's history.
By Friday morning at 8, traffic picked up again, and sales remained brisk through 1:30 p.m.
The store manager also reported a busy day of sales on Saturday as well.
He attributed a portion of the increased sales to opening four hours earlier on Thanksgiving Day.

Governor Christie's budget increased funding by $90 million for the Senior Freeze property tax relief program.
Senior Freeze checks are in the mail and on their way, according to state officials.
"Because of the priorities we funded in this budget, seniors and families will get the extra help they need to ease the strain on fixed incomes and family budgets," said Governor Christie. "The property tax crisis in New Jersey has squeezed our seniors and middle-class families, and we have attacked the underlying root of the problem with a 2 percent cap on property tax increases and fundamental reforms to drive down the cost of government."
The Christie Administration, through the Treasury Department's Division of Taxation, has already begun mailing Senior Freeze checks to senior and disabled homeowners. Checks for the Senior Freeze program, which protects senior citizens and disabled residents from increases in property taxes, will average more than $1,200 this year, going directly to recipients who earned $70,000 or less in 2009 and 2010.
Senior and disabled homeowners with gross income up to $150,000 will receive Homestead Benefit credits averaging $540 this year, and non-senior homeowners with gross incomes up to $75,000 will receive credits averaging $404.
The Administration mailed out 116,000 Senior Freeze checks to applicants who filed by June 1 earlier this month. Those who filed after June 1 will receive checks throughout the coming months as the state processes applications. New applications are also being accepted because the deadline for filing was extended to October 31.
Every individual who qualifies for the Senior Freeze program will receive a benefit this year, according to the state.
The Treasury Department is directly following up with applicants who filed incomplete applications in order to ensure every eligible New Jersey senior receives the benefit to which they are entitled. The Division of Taxation is mailing notices to 13,000 applicants who filed incomplete applications.
Anyone with questions can call the Property Tax Reimbursement Hotline at 1-800-882-6597. Information about the program is also available on the Division of Taxation's Web site at www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/.

Compromise: A forgotten republican virtue
Alan Greenspan called compromise on public issues "the price of civilized society, not an abrogation of principle." Greenspan's position is probably the result of advising and working closely with each president from Gerald Ford until George W. Bush. Yet his pragmatic approach is lost on many politicians, especially those with parties in the majority. The passage of health care reform and the present conflict in Madison, Wisconsin are sure examples of politicians using majority status as an excuse to avoid compromise.
"No compromise" is the default position almost whenever the opportunity pokes its head. Compromise is written off as politically inexpedient, weak, and unnecessary when there is a legal means to avoid it. These assumptions are inappropriate in light of our history, the Constitution's spirit, and political reality.
On the road to passage of health care reform, Republicans were told to take a back seat. Democrats had been elected to govern, and they were going to govern. Speaker Nancy Pelosi's goal was to create a bill that would pass by one vote, not a bill that could enjoy wider bipartisan support. This, even though some Republican support may have been added by cutting out components like the individual mandate or by adding in stronger tort reforms and real pro-life protections.
Now, in Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker is staring-down the Democratic minority in the legislature. Senate Democrats have left the state to prevent passage of a bill that would limit the benefits and collective bargaining rights of teachers. Democrats are willing to accept some of the bill's provisions, even some that would decrease teacher take-home pay, but Democrats will not support the bill as long as it limits collective bargaining. Gov. Walker and his majority won't budge. He says that the changes are necessary to fix the state's budget crisis, a somewhat tenuous connection since we are talking about a present budget crisis and future collective bargaining rights.
In either case above, the possibility of real compromise was categorically written-off, at least publicly. This way of governing, though possible and technically constitutional, is out of step with the Framers' intention. In Federalist 51, James Madison touted how a system of rival interests would prevent one branch of power from dominating the whole republic. In Federalist 10, he showed us how the Constitution would prevent, insofar as possible, a majority faction from controlling the whole government, which would make the protections outlined in Federalist 51 ineffectual. Taken together, Federalist 10 and 51 are persuasive because compromise was necessary to the survival of the Republic; the Framers built compromise into the system.
Compromise is sought, but not mandated. If a majority faction (the target of Federalist 10's criticism) or party refuses to compromise, it is within its right. But exercising a technical Constitutional right is not always consistent with the spirit of the Constitution, which sought to avoid total majority rule. The positive law attempts to manifest a greater goal, where the positive law is not sufficient to bring about that goal, leaders should still abide by the goal. Leaders with majority status should not write off compromise as quickly or as casually as they do.
In his Lyceum Speech, Abraham Lincoln called attention to the insufficiency of our governmental framework alone to prevent abuse. Observing that the passion that once sustained us was now gone, Lincoln appealed to reason, reason restrained by "general intelligence, sound morality and, in particular, a reverence for the constitution and laws…" We are bound to something higher than the letter of the law, higher than the structure defined by the Constitution. The same values that made the Constitution worth defending in The Federalist should be revered when the structure falls short of its goal. Compromise may not always be the solution, but compromise carries its own merit that shouldn't be dismissed by leaders of controlling majorities like Gov. Walker, despite how much merit his proposals may have.
Political realities also warn against readily dismissing compromise. As the Democrats learned last November, a disenfranchised minority is loud and powerful. By settling on "no compromise" from the beginning, Gov. Walker limited his chances of pure victory. He may successfully limit collective bargaining for teachers, but will his victory be Pyrrhic? Voters in his traditionally left-leaning state will wonder if they want an uncompromising Republican governor. If he does not successfully limit collective bargaining rights this late in the game, then not only will he be perceived of as ineffective, but also unreasonable.
Politics is a game of practicality. That is why Lincoln, who was uncompromisingly anti-slavery as president, idolized "The Great Compromiser," Henry Clay. It is how a student of Ayn Rand's black-and-white-there-is-no-grey worldview can grow up to call compromise, "the price of civilized society." Today, Gov. Walker is convinced of his cause, but his approach deserves a second guess.

"The set was simple: the facade of the house of Combernon in France: a couple of doors for entrances and exits, and some shovels and picks lined up in front — ready for manual labor. Not only drama, but also talks, discussions, and music unfolded against this silent presence, this house, which served as a visual theme uniting many diverse expressions of humanity."

The Meeting in Cairo
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
Something happened in Cairo October 2010: a cultural event inspired by The Meeting in Rimini, as may be seen in the photo slideshow above. Davide Perillo describes the course of events in the #10 issue of Traces. Here's a snippet, but go read the whole account: "You Have Brightened Egypt"
The clear impression is that it is as if the very idea of 'dialogue between religions' has been swept away, leaving room for reality: people who are in dialogue precisely because they are religious–that is to say, zealous for the heart, for the question of meaning, for beauty. One distinguished man, unidentified, during a pause, began a discussion with Emilia Guarnieri: (the English is rather improbable, but the point gets through), 'You spoke of certainties and the fight against relativism; can you explain better?.' She explains, and he nods, and replies, saying something like: 'I understand. Whatever is an obstacle to man's imagination is to be fought.' In his own way, he sounds like Fr. Giussani when he speaks of 'the category of possibility,' which keeps reason open to the Mystery. Another point made by an Egyptian friend and highlighted was: 'We are looking at things with your eyes.'
The final concert was an apotheosis of what we have in common and of what distinguishes us. The Schubert Trio and classical music inside the walls of Saladin's Citadel: all eager to hear beauty (Brahms, Paganini, and Dvorak), many ready to acknowledge that it is only a relation of the other music, played by the Sama'a group the previous evening: Eastern chorales and polyphony entwined with 'our' melodies. They, too, are beautiful, but different, without that note of melancholy that echoes, so to speak, in the 2nd movement of Schubert's Trio, presented as 'one of the pieces that Fr. Giussani loved most.' At this point, we realize how often that name has been quoted continually over these days, on the stage and off it, in both Italian and Arabic speeches, and how alive Fr. Giussani still is, present more than ever.
The editorial in the same issue of Traces notes the remarkable contours of this event:
"For two days, there were assemblies and exhibitions, a demonstration of earthly beauty as the basis for a dialogue, in an Islamic country. It was organized by Muslims, people who live their tradition deeply, but who were struck by a friendship with those who live Christianity deeply, making it flesh and blood–that is, culture."
Although I haven't seen The Meeting in Cairo or The Meeting in Rimini, I will have the opportunity to see the American edition of The Meeting: The New York Encounter. It's happening January 14-17. The presentations are free and open to the public — I hope to see you there!
Jesus: A Memory Who Abides
"While Jonas watched, the people began one by one to untie the ribbons on the packages, to unwrap the bright papers, open the boxes and reveal toys and clothing and books. There were cries of delight. They hugged one another.
The small child went and sat on the lap of the old woman, and she rocked him and rubbed her cheek against his" (The Giver, Lois Lowrey, 123).
"The great majority of people will go on observing forms that cannot be explained; they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and Christmas benedictions; they will continue to do it; and some day suddenly wake up and discover why" ( G.K. Chesterton in Generally Speaking, via Quaerere Deum via gkchestertonquote).
"there is a way of being together that is not Christian communion. And what is the clearest indication of this? That it does not liberate us, that there is no liberation; that is, it is not Communion and Liberation. Fr. Giussani told us that this happens due to a lack of memory, due to a lack of existential depth in the awareness of belonging. [...] When St. Paul says, 'Yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me,' he defines exactly the content of the new self-awareness. Without this new awareness, there is no Christian communion, because we are not letting into our life the gaze that made us become part of this communion." (Living is The Memory of Me, 54).
May you live Christmas and the Christmas season filled with the memory of Christ!

Thank Newt for McCain's win
One can't help but wonder if the moderate majority of the GOP is finally flexing its muscles after Gingrich's failed 1994 "revolution." All that revolution did was cost us more money. And one can't help but wonder if a majority of voters are finally getting tired of candidates wrapping the flag around a Bible.
As an aside, would what Mitt is spending per vote wipe out the federal deficit?
BREAKING NEWS: Edwards is out.
Isn't that a bit disingenuous?
The '94 Republican Revolution had nothing to do with "God And Flag Stuff"; it was all small-government, fiscal conservative promises.
Of course, you could be forgiven for thinking that, since the MSM made it sound like all Jesus legislation and Concentration Camp Orphanages, and there was no easily accessible alternative to the MSM back in '94.
Nice to see the meejia stereotype being perpetuated, tho'. ;)
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Running on the Bible evolved well after the '94 revolution and I was citing that separate from the revolution.
Having said that, one could easily argue running on the Bible was a byproduct of '94 as it evolved out of that movement.
My vote was cast as soon as I met with Newt late last year in D.C. After he put the brakes on the speculation I quickly moved to Fred. Looks like I'll be casting my vote against someone rather than for someone.
The "Bible vote" is a completely separate entity than the "Contract with America" from 1994. If the Republican majority had stuck with their original commission, they might still be the majority.
"The 'Bible vote' is a completely separate entity than the "Contract with America" from 1994."
I blame it all on the 1980 election.
If the old skool conservative GOP hadn't courted the populist God Squad vote in order to oust Carter...

Tired of Beyoncé yet?
The 17 time Grammy award winner put herself back in the spotlight by covering Vogue Magazine's cover for March 2013.
Jason Gay spent a day with the singer as he dug inside what it was like to be a superstar, a mother, and a wife to one of the biggest music stars in the world Jay-Z.
She finally got a chance to open up about her birth and pregnancy to the journalist by saying,
"My family and my closest people were there when I gave birth."
"Everything that scared me just was not present in that room. So for me to really let go and really appreciate every contraction . . . it was the best day of my life."
Mrs. Carter also opened up about her feelings for her husband Jay-Z during the interview.
"Just knowing someone's always going to be honest and tell the truth, [who] can understand exactly what I'm going through—and I can understand exactly what he's going through."
The article gives a good insight into a day in the life of Beyoncé and is a perfect prelude to her documentary Life Is But A Dream, which will be aired this Saturday at 9pm on HBO.

Oil Drilling Starts in Falkland Islands
February 22, 2010
Despite protests from Argentina, which claims the British territory, drilling on the first oil well in the Falkland Islands in over a decade started on schedule, according to Reuters. Explorer Desire Petroleum broke ground at a well on its offshore "Liz" prospect. It could contain reserves of up to 400 million barrels, analysts said, although the risk of hitting nothing was also seen as high. The run-up to drilling in the Falklands led to rising tensions between Britain and Argentina, which went to war over them in 1982. Argentina said earlier this month the exploration was illegal, and blocked the loading of pipes on to a ship, which it said had operated in the Falklands, known as Las Malvinas in Argentina. The British government has protested to Argentina over a law passed in December that includes the disputed islands within the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego. The sea around the Falklands could contain up to 17 billion barrels of oil and 51 trillion cubic feet, or 9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, of gas, according to a report in 2000 by the U.S. Geological Survey. High oil prices and advances in drilling technology have spurred optimism in recent years. The dispute with Buenos Aires over sovereignty is expected to make exploitation of any oil found more expensive than otherwise since supplies and equipment cannot be imported from Argentina, which has its own oil and gas industry. The spat also means any gas discoveries will need to be very large to be commercially viable as the island''s population of around 2,500 is a limited market and the gas cannot be piped to the mainland. Only if a gas discovery were very large would it justify the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal from which the gas could be exported in pressurized ships. Seven wells in the seas around the islands are planned for this year.

New Poll Shows Public Thinks Churches Should Stay Out of Politics
A slight majority of people believe religious institutions should stop speaking out on political issues
In the week after Barack Obama and John McCain explored the connections between their beliefs and political convictions in one of America's biggest megachurches, a new poll shows that a slight majority of the public now thinks that churches and other houses of worship should keep out of politics.
The Pew Research Center and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life say that this is the first time since they began asking the question more than 10 years ago that a majority has not been in favor of religious institutions speaking out on political and social issues.
Surprisingly, the biggest change of heart has occurred among conservatives. Four years ago, only 30 percent thought religion should keep its nose out of politics. Now, a full half does. That brings self-identified Republicans more closely in line with Democrats (51 percent in 2004, 52 percent in 2008) on the question.
The public in general is also now more uncomfortable with politicians who talk about their religious convictions, with the biggest shift again taking place among Republicans.
While Republicans still are viewed as being friendlier toward religion, the survey shows that the public sees a change in Democratic attitudes. Almost 40 percent today think the Democratic Party is receptive toward faith matters, while only 26 percent did two years ago.
This poll follows other recent surveys that suggest Obama is making inroads with many religious voters.

While St. Mary's Episcopal Church is known for the beauty and pageantry of its traditional holiday services, its clergy recognizes that such celebratory events don't meet the needs of all parishioners. So, this year, they've created two alternate services during the week before Christmas. The first -- a Taize service of mediation, music and reflection -- takes place at 7 p.m., Sunday, December 16. Begun in Taize, France, the service employs chants, prayer, silence and scripture readings to lift hearts and souls to God in a prayer that "has neither a beginning nor an end." Past participants have found the service an island of calm that allows them to leave holiday pressures behind and focus on matters of the spirit. Those of all faiths are invited to attend.
The second is a "Blue Christmas" service for those who have suffered a loss or who have few positive associations with the holidays. Please see the December 18 listing.

Town of Halifax to usher in holiday season with parade, open house, tree lighting
- Last Updated on 07:38 AM 12/02/13
- BY Danielle Vaughn
The Town of Halifax will begin celebrating the Christmas holiday with its Open House Weekend Friday-Sunday in downtown Halifax.
The annual children's parade and tree lighting ceremony scheduled for Friday will kick off the festivities, said Marsha Hite, president of the Halifax Village Association.
The parade will begin at 6:30 p.m., when children will pull their Christmas decorated wagons down the Main Street sidewalk led by Santa Claus himself. The parade will end at the Farmers Market where participants and parade goers will gather for the tree lighting ceremony.
Following the ceremony an arts and craft activity will be held for the children, and Santa will be available for pictures.
In the past, Hite said up to 25 children have come out to participate in the parade, and she is hoping for a bigger turnout this year.
On Saturday, Dec. 7, local business will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some stores participating in the open house include Garland's Jewelry, Triangle Florist, Peddler's Market, Cozy Cottage and The Pack House.
During the festivities, Blessed Hope Church will conduct a food drive.
Also on Saturday the Halifax Farmers Market will host its first annual holiday indoor market from 8 to noon. Vendors' spaces for the market have sold out, and Town Manager Denise Barksdale anticipates over 30 vendors will be at the event.
Market-goers can expect to see vendors selling wood craft items, handmade jewelry, Sugar Body scrubs, fresh baked goods, holiday gift baskets, holiday candy, goat milk lotion and soap, kids' books and games, sport-themed items, fresh wreaths and Tupperware.
Hudson Heritage Farms will have fresh meat available for sell, and the Halifax County Humane Society will be selling cookbooks.
Bright Meadows Wine and Gifts and Scentsy Fragrance also will have booths at the market.
Hot chocolate and coffee will be available in the morning, and Farmers Market vendors will be outside selling goods from their farms.
Open house for local businesses will continue on Sunday from noon until 5 p.m., and Hite Insurance will be open that day.
Children also can enjoy a scavenger hunt in downtown Halifax.
Downtown festivities will end later that day with the Halifax County Cancer Association luminary service being held at 5:30 p.m. at the Halifax County Courthouse.
