PLATTSBURGH — It appears that the State Legislature will approve a property-tax cap before the session ends in a few weeks, but local government leaders say more than just a cap is needed.
Medicaid is the top target for reform among area county leaders.
"This is a very important first step to get a cap, but as I've said from the outset of this discussion that a cap will not be successful unless it is accompanied by serious relief from these expensive state mandates," City of Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak said.
2-percent cap
The State Senate and Assembly and Gov. Andrew Cuomo are on the verge of agreeing to a measure that will cap property taxes at 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower, for municipal and school taxes.
The governor and the leaders of the legislature — Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos — have been negotiating a final deal and have said they expect to pass it by the end of session on June 20.
In the latest twist, Silver has added rent control for New York City and a five-year sunset on the cap to the proposed legislation.
The governor has been pushing for the cap for months, traveling the state drumming up support.
But many local leaders are worried that a cap without mandate relief will hamstring them in their efforts to continue to provide needed services.
Clinton County Administrator Michael Zurlo said that, without mandate relief, county governments will have to make some major changes.
Preliminary projections show that under a 2-percent cap, the county could only raise an additional $546,000 in tax revenue next year, while the cost of Medicaid alone for the county is projected to go up about $439,000.
"Just Medicaid would eat up most of the additional revenue we could raise," Zurlo said.
"Then we also have the many other mandates to pay for."
In order to make ends meet under a cap, many municipal leaders believe severe cuts will have to be made.
"There will be services in this county that will no longer be affordable or sustainable," Zurlo said.
Mayor Kasprzak said the outcome of a cap without mandate relief will not be pleasant.
"Without some relief our constituents will suffer," he said.
Association of Counties
The New York State Association of Counties is urging the state to totally take over Medicaid expenses, relieving upstate counties of the $2 billion burden.
Zurlo said such a takeover would give county governments much more breathing room.
"And, I'll do you one better; I'll even lower your taxes if they take Medicaid costs away from us," he said.
Of the county's roughly $27 million tax levy, $16.9 million, or 62 percent, of it is consumed by Medicaid costs.
"If we could be relieved of that burden, our taxpayers would greatly benefit."
In order to pay for the counties portion of Medicaid, NYSAC says the program can be offset with resources available through federal funding, taking advantage of new flexibilities in the health care reform act and savings from this year's Medicaid reform measures.
Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward (R-Willsboro) said she hopes the state leadership is serious about providing mandate relief on the heels of the tax cap.
"This bill is a beginning. More needs to be done," she said.
"If we can get this cap in place and remove some of the regulations, taxpayers will be the winners."
Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) agrees.
"What is important is the mandate-relief component, providing local governments and schools the flexibility they need without the Albany strings attached," Little said.
Mandate relief needed
Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru) said she was disappointed that the cap legislation does not mention mandate relief, but will support it.
"I don't support all the provisions in the bill, but feel it is a reasonable compromise to some of the other legislation and a good first step in providing tax relief to residents and businesses," Duprey said.
The proposed bill does allows assessments on new construction to be excluded from the cap so local governments and school districts can benefit from new development.
Duprey said she doubts rent control will be removed from the bill because Assembly members from the city have too much weight.
"In reality it appears the 65 Assembly members who are not affected by the tax cap, but are concerned with rent control, will probably not pass this bill unless the two are addressed," Duprey said.
"The good news for taxpayers is that it seems almost certain there will be a tax-cap proposal passed and signed into law this year, which will provide real property-tax relief."

The Laser King
Looking for a sexy, speculative play that could make you Mad Money? It is Speculation Friday, after all. Last Friday Cramer recommended a laser company called Ionatron that makes lasers for the military. Well, the company landed a deal with the Navy and the stock ran 17% in a week. Not too shabby, skeedaddy.
Cramer wants to stick with the laser theme as a speculative play again this week, although this time he's going with cosmetic lasers – the sweeter, gentler, but in a way far more ruthless, answer to Ionatron's laser gun. But remember that Cramer saves these – his juiciest and riskiest picks - for Friday, so you Home Gamers don't hurt yourself by buying them too quickly without doing the homework first.
It seems like Cramer keeps getting calls about these stocks, whether it's Syneron , Palomar or Cynosure . Clearly, people want to know about the aesthetic lasers - and for good reason. Plenty of money has been made in these stocks in the past and Cramer, the flip-flopper that he is, keeps changing his mind about which is his favorite.
Is Palomar the laser king because of its patent power? Or is it Syneron with its play on skin rejuvenation? In a fickle industry, Cramer is crowning a new winner today, and it's Cynosure. It's his definitive, best-of-breed cosmetic laser play – at least until it gets more expensive and something else comes around that's even better, he says.
It's hard to stay consistent because this industry is so dynamic. If CYNO ends up making you as much money as PMTI or ELOS have in the past, Cramer might advise that you jump ship in order to save profits. But for now, Cramer thinks it's the best.
While Syneron has done next to nothing, Cynosure has doubled. Basically, Cynosure extended a peace offering to its rival, Palomar, which holds a lot of the cosmetic laser patents. Cynosure agreed to make royalty payments on hair-removal lasers to Palomar so that CYNO can do business without having to worry that it will get sued into oblivion.
Cynosure also has the momentum, which is crucial if you want to be the laser king, Cramer says. The company right now has 30% growth and a couple of products that Cramer thinks are likely to be hits. They own an aptly named anti-wrinkling treatment called Affirm, as well as a liposuction treatment called SmartLipo. And if there's one thing more important to Americans than smooth skin, it's a slim waist, Cramer says. CYNO's got both covered.
There's room to improve here, too. CYNO had gross margins in the low 60% range, compared with 85% for ELOS and 69% for PMTI. These other laser companies had their multiples creep up, Cramer says, because their consensus earnings and growth estimates went lower – always a bad sign, especially when you're dealing with speculative stocks.
On top of all else, Cynosure is a Rest-of-World play, which you know Cramer loves. The company does about 60% of its business outside America – and unlike America, the rest of the world is a great place to be investing, he says.
Bottom Line: The cosmetic laser space is dicey and fickle, but Cramer thinks Cynosure is a great play right now.

New Delhi, Dec 27 (IBNS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Thursday walked out of a meeting of all chief ministers at the annual National Development Council (NDC) when she was stopped from delivering her speech in full owing to time limits of ten minutes set for each CM.
The meeting was presided over by the Prime Minister.
The Tamil Nadu chief minister left in a huff saying she was insulted since it is impossible to express everything in ten minutes in the interest of her state and the country at large.
"I had barely began my speech when I was told that my ten minutes are up as a bell rang. This is utter humiliation of a Chief Minister who has come all the way to Delhi," said Jayalalithaa.
"It is impossible to convey the news of the news in ten minutes," said Jayalalithaa.
"There have been many occasions before when chief ministers who support the central government have been allowed to speak," said Jayalalithaa.

A very entertaining — and apt — idea over at the cleverly named development blog Good Intentions Are Not Enough:
It's time again for TOMS Shoes' annual advertisement (awareness raising activity) called A Day Without Shoes. Every year TOMS gets celebrities and college students to walk around barefoot so that they are more aware of the plight of people without shoes. And of course, what better way to put shoes onto the feet of these shoeless people than to purchase a pair of TOMS Shoes.
As you've probably guessed, I'm not a fan of this annual event. So this year I'm proposing a counter-campaign called A Day Without Dignity.
On or around April 5th — the same date as A Day Without Shoes – we're asking aid workers, the diaspora, and people from areas that receive shoe drops and other forms of charity to speak up in blogs, on twitter, or at school.
Shoes are not the problem. I can speak pretty confidently when I say people I meet in Malawi (like people I meet in the United States) want jobs, they want education for their children, they want healthcare, they want the autonomy to make decisions for themselves and their families — but what they don't need is a bunch of shoes (and the wasteful overhead costs that come with shipping a bunch of shoes).
I have seen a particularly fashionable friend of mine work it with a super cute pair of gold sparkly Toms. Maybe drop the ineffective and patronizing foreign aid, keep the fabulous glitter?

Neutral amino acid transporters of the SLC6 family are expressed at the apical membrane of kidney and/or small intestine, where they (re-)absorb amino acids into the body. In this review we present the results concerning the dependence of their apical expression with their association to partner proteins. We will in particular focus on the situation of B0AT1 and B0AT3, that associate with members of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), namely Tmem27 and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), in a tissue specific manner. The role of this association in relation to the formation of a functional unit related to Na+ or amino acid transport will be assessed. We will conclude with some remarks concerning the relevance of this association to Hartnup disorder, where some mutations have been shown to differentially interact with the partner proteins.

If you want to look into a potential do-it-yourself solution you might consider checking out Thunderbird (v17) and an add-on called Mail Merge (v3.4).
It allows you to create a template with fields to accept names, email addresses, and then set them up to launch off a mass mailing to each address one at a time. You can also set the interval between each send-off so you can disperse it over a period of a few hours.
I have it installed on Thunderbird here but haven't tried it out yet. Someone asked me this question a week ago so that's why I'm looking into this as a possible solution.

Indians boys surge to third straight win with 67-49 victory over WAC
Guards Ramey and McCloud come up big
Menomonee Falls - It's one thing to gain momentum, another thing to keep it.
Fresh off their first two wins of the year in holiday tournament play, the Menomonee Falls boys basketball team took it another step further Friday by claiming its first Greater Metro Conference victory with a 67-49 decision over West Allis Central.
"Three in a row, that's a good thing," Indians coach Dan Leffel said. "Just like losing is contagious, so is winning. We're now going on the floor and playing in much more confident manner. Teams runs against us aren't so long and we're reacting better when teams push us."
Falls is now 1-4 in GMC play and 3-8 overall. The Indians take on Catholic Memorial on Tuesday and then host West Allis Hale in another GMC tilt on Friday.
The game was a bit of a yo-yo in the first half, as the Indians roared out to a 13-point lead only to have the defending league champion Bulldogs close it down to four by the end of the first 16 minutes.
But then in the third quarter, the Indians ratcheted up the defensive pressure and forced the Bulldogs into some poor shots.
"And we were able to get some run-outs and get inside pretty easily," Leffel said. "They (the Bulldogs) didn't have a lot of energy, which we found interesting. We made a long run and before you know it we had the lead at 24.
"We packed it in with a 3-2 zone and made them shoot outside, which they didn't do very well," Leffel said. "We were also able to get a lead and then we showed a knockout punch, which was good to see. We also hit our free throws late."
The Indians guards came up huge again as senior Brandon Ramey had 24 points to lead all scorers while freshman Juwan McCloud had 17. Senior center Devon Nauer had his third straight double-digit rebound day with 10 caroms while forward Anthony Russo, pushed into a rare starting role came up big with 10 points.
Leffel is understandably encouraged.
"If this is what we'll do when we apply ourselves, then we can still do some special things," he said.

Speaking of seasonal armatars..why does the one I created go untouched? D=
I guess people just like the other ones better then yours :/
Ive had alot of armatars.
My first aramtar was the 0AP crusader armatar. After that when i got 375 AP, i switched it to the snake, then the 1000 AP green dragon with yellow background and wings followed. When i had 2000 AP, i used the like... undead creepy guy. Then i used the 3250 AP squid. Then the seasonal armatars came. I used the halloween sun thingy for 5 AP. Then for the sake of changing the armatars i switched it to the 3750 AP minotaur armatar. And then there followed this tree im having at the moment.

There should be less human armatars. They always look weird. I prefer choosing some sort of beast or a seasonal armatar, especially since they are from the community, not just the armartists for AG. ^ made that word right there! :D

Armatars that are loosing popularity are the two listed below I'd think.
I hardly see those armatars, and they are pretty cool looking I'd say. I'm guessing these were the older armatars back in 2009 or 2010.
Speaking of Armatars, I was surprised to find a Minotaur armatar (at least, I think it is a armatar...). It matches my username, which I think is a pretty rare case! If only it resembled a Minotaur a bit more...

Tweet This summer's reboot of Godzilla has been getting high marks for the marketing and the trailer, and now the lizard king is coming back to the pages of the comics, where he's had a pretty thriving career over the years. Godzilla: Awakening will be published by Legendary Comics and its co-written by Max Borenstein […]
Alex Ross covers PACIFIC RIM comics
It's been a while since we heard from Legendary Comics, but they made a reappearance at WonderCon as Guillermo del Toro unveiled the Alex Ross cover for PACIFIC RIM: TALES FROM YEAR ZERO, a graphic novel prequel to the kaiju vs mecha movie. The Gn is by screenwriter Travis Beacham with art by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet, and Pericles Junior with inks by Steve Bird and Mark McKenna.
Legendary Spotlight: Matt Wagner on developing THE TOWER CHRONICLES
[Multiple Eisner Award winning cartoonist Matt Wagner has long been known for his sure hand with adventure comics; the breadth of imagination for his signature creations Mage and Grendel and his distinctive re-imaginings of Batman in various titles over the years. Now he's imagining for the first time John Tower, a new character created by Legendary Pictures studio head Thomas Tull and debuting this week as part of the new Legendary Comics line. THE TOWER CHRONICLES: GEISTHAWK #1 is being published in the "prestige" format—a squarebound 64 page comics—well-known to 90s comics readers but not much used today. But it seems appropriate for the story that Wagner is telling, along with artist Simon Bisley inker Rodney Ramos and colorist Ryan Brown. In the following interview Wagner walks us through the process of developing John Tower and talks about his entire approach to making comics. We previously talked to Legendary's COO Tim Connors here. ]
Legendary Comics debuts with Frank Miller's HOLY TERROR in September
In the white hot days following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, a lot of art was planned and some executed. One near legendary project was Frank Miller's Holy Terror, Batman, which was just what it sounded like…the Batman taking on the terrorists. With Miller's increasingly right-wing views, it was expected to be a real barn burner.
However, it turned out to be a little too hot for DC– as did the project's editor Bob Schreck, who left for IDW and now a start-up line at Legendary Pictures. With a main character recast as "The Fixer," the book is now planned to come out this September, in time for the 10th anniversary of a day most people would rather forget.
The Legendary Comics line has been quietly ramping up for some time — a publishing arm for Legendary Pictures, the powerhouse production company behind the Batman movies, The THE HANGOVER, and many more films. Editor Schreck was seen hanging around the Comics Pavillion at BEA with new assistant editor Greg Tumbarello, and the imprint is busy setting up a distribution deal yet to be announced.
Bob Schreck to start GN line for Legendary Pictures
Bob Schreck, one of the industry's best regarded editors, has left his position as Senior Editor at IDW to start a comics division for Legendary Pictures (not Entertainment, as the IDW release states), according to PR that just went out. The parting was amicable.
Legendary Pictures, founded by Thomas Tull, has produced such films as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Hangover, Inception, and Where the Wild Things Are, so the connection to starting their own comics company is pretty obvious and Schreck is well qualified to start such an effort.

A little help..
Not with my start em/sit em, or roster.. But rather, my team slogan. So yeah, nothing important, but there's a lot of Redszoners who are a wee bit wittier than myself and figured I could enlist your help.
Team name: Boom Goes The Dynamite Any suggestions on a humorous or clever Team Slogan? I'm at a loss. Your ideas are appreciated.

Twitter Argument Leads to Alleged Murder [REPORT]
A Twitter argument allegedly resulted in murder last month, and New York police may subpoena Tweets as evidence in the case, according to a newspaper report. Jameg Blake, 22, is accused of fatally shooting Kwame Dancy (pictured), also 22, with a shotgun blast to the neck. He pleaded not guilty this Wednesday. The Harlem murder case, which allegedly took place in an apartment building on W. 132nd St. on December 1, may turn out to be the first in which Tweets are used as evidence in a murder trial.

Oregon Democrats' tax plan takes shape
Apr 8, 2013 | 1 Comment
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Democratic leaders in the Oregon House said Monday that their plan to raise more tax revenue would target corporations and wealthy individuals.
Speaker Tina Kotek and Rep. Peter Buckley, the House Democrats' budget chief, said their plan would limit the amount an individual can claim in tax deductions on a graduated scale beginning with individuals earning at least $125,000 and households earning more than $250,000. Those same taxpayers also would be eligible for a smaller share of the personal exemption — a $183 tax credit for every individual on a tax return.
The Democratic plan would eliminate the cap on the corporate minimum tax, which would affect corporations with more than $100 million in revenue. It also would try to collect more from multi-state and multi-national corporations by trying to keep better tabs on how much of their revenue comes from Oregon and should be subject to state taxes here.
The House Revenue Committee is scheduled to begin discussing the proposal Tuesday and will work out the details, including how much to limit tax deductions for wealthy taxpayers.
Democratic leaders have proposed raising $275 million in additional revenue over the next two years to help balance the state budget. They'll need at least two Republican votes in the House and Senate to reach the three-fifths majority required to raise taxes.
"If people don't like these four elements, they need to figure out how to help us get to $275 million," Kotek said. "That is the critical piece that we're now moving to."
GOP leaders say they'll only support a tax increase if Democrats back steeper pension cuts for public employees. A Democrat-backed pension-cutting plan, which would save $460 million for state and local governments over the next two years, is scheduled for a vote in the Senate on Thursday. Republicans are backing a separate proposal that they say would save more than $1 billion.

Too afraid of the unions and their influence, the Demos will only consider raising taxes and worry about the deferred PERS payments next time (hoping the fund heals itself) -- just like last session.
What happened to all the campaign promises listing PERS reform as a priority? Reform should not come as an increase in taxes. We were told M66 & M67 would 'fix everything', put Oregon on the track to recovery. Now the money is spent and they want more. And if one has been paying attention, the new revenue will end up in the accounts of the union members, just as always.
The union wiggles the strings and the marionettes (Demos) dance to the tune. It makes one wonder what else the wussies might do for money?????

Campus Master Plan
In the autumn of 2005, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) initiated a campus master plan at the direction of the chancellor. The last master plan was completed in 1968. Since then, UWSP has updated its Campus Physical Development Plan periodically as a way of documenting the physical needs of the campus.
The master planning process has been a coordinated effort between UWSP, University of Wisconsin System Administration and the State of Wisconsin Division of State Facilities (DSF). The process was designed to be inclusive and included a steering committee comprised of members of campus administration, faculty and staff, student body government and city staff. It involved work sessions and presentations at key milestones to which the entire staff, student body and interested public were invited. The master plan is meant to guide the physical development of the campus for the next 20 years.
UWSP does not anticipate a signifi cant increase in enrollment and the master planning team was directed to prepare the plan assuming enrollment would remain near current level. To be successful, a master plan must be forward thinking and fl exible. To that end, this master plan, while focused primarily on the next 25 to 30 years, looks beyond that time frame to consider potential longer term campus needs. This look forward will help ensure shorter term development needs do not preclude good campus development options in the future.

Everybody's talking about Apple's mysterious coming-soon iTV, and with good reason. It will potentially be a revolutionary product — an improvement on the smart TVs currently mucking up electronics stores with their ill-conceived user interfaces. But there's already a voice-controlled multimedia powerhouse on the market, the Xbox 360 with Kinect.
Tuesday, Microsoft's pre-emptive strike against Apple surged with the promised addition of streamed Comcast, HBO and Major League Baseball content.
OK, so why am I so breathless over this? Because not only does the Xbox+Kinect media interface, out since last December, establish a technological precedent for usable voice and gesture TV control, but its search function sniffs through all of your high-value content — from Netflix to Comcast — and lists all options at once. I search for "30 Rock" and see every instance of where and when I can watch it, on any of my compatible services.
This is exactly what Google TV promised but never delivered, because Google didn't (or couldn't) get the rights to the content. This is what Apple's iTV will have —ideally. But as many a tech curmudgeon has already pointed out, the kinds of big media content and distribution deals necessary to achieve a unified experience that could live up to the Apple brand are hard to make, even for Apple itself.
(I have to take a moment to mention not one but two points of disclosure: Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft, creators of the Xbox and Kinect, and NBC Universal, whose parent company is, yep, Comcast. But if you think that biases my opinion on this matter in any way, go Google my name and "iPad" or "iPhone." Yeah, I said "Google.")
I played around with a demo unit that had Comcast's service on it a few months ago, and I have used the unified video search function at home, but before the Comcast service was launched. I have not tried the search with Comcast, because that update just happened. As such, this is not a review, per se. However, I can safely declare that this functionality represents a quantum leap forward.
I never watch realtime TV, because life is too short. Instead, I rely heavily on a TiVo, whose interface hasn't meaningfully changed in 13 years, and on various smart-ish boxes that deliver Netflix and other on-demand or networked content. Now that the Xbox+Kinect pairing comes with a critical mass of current content from Comcast, it will likely become my first stop in TV watching.
There's a paradox here, of course: I need to pay for my Comcast TV service (and all those premium channels) in order to stream "Game of Thrones" on my Xbox. But hopefully it's mutually beneficial: I'd like to pay Comcast for the right to enjoy programming on my terms, rather than paying the company to tell me how to watch TV.
HBO is included in the Comcast service, and as such, Comcast subscribers don't get HBO Go, the premium channel's own on-demand service. Non-Comcast customers who subscribe to HBO can get HBO Go service, but don't get any additional non-HBO programming from their cable line-ups. The Xbox announcement also includes MLB.TV on Xbox Live, which delivers live and "final" games in HD. This service is available in Canada and Mexico as well as the U.S.
What Apple is up to is a still a mystery, and Apple has a history shaping the wills of content providers in ways other companies simply cannot. But Apple can't release another packaging of a la carte iTunes downloads plus Netflix and YouTube. Given the lukewarm reception of the Apple TV box, even at a $99 price point, that approach clearly isn't going to suffice.
As far as my limited imagination can conceive, Apple has just two choices. It can go with an app strategy, where Comcast's Xfinity app, and many many more, exists on the Apple iTV as it does on the iPad, as a silo of content. Or it can go with a more ambitious holistic experience, where subscribers to Comcast and Netflix and everything else can consume all of that content in a single smooth Apple-built interface.
The only way to do that now, without significant distortion of reality, is the way the Xbox is doing it, with unified search. It's not beautiful or even particularly elegant, I'm never going to argue that. But the Xbox+Kinect interface is functional in a way that has not been seen before. And it chalks up a new high mark that the Apple iTV will need to beat.

It is easy to kill yourself,
If you know that nothing happy will never come again,
and that time will heal everything after you died,
even if the bereaved might be in momentary sorrows.
The beautiful past memory, though, chains you to this world gently.
You're on a boundary between reality and daydreams,
seeing two large legs stuck out of white beds.
A child's voice saying,
"Mom, Dad, Good morning!
Well, now I know it's just a dream.
I had a terrible nightmare last night."

We're used to MSNBC's Toure saying outlandish things, but his latest commentary in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade is by far the worst. During a segment last week, Toure went on what he called an abortion rant in which he thanked God and country abortion was there to "save him" at a time when taking care of a baby and becoming a father would have been inconvenient for him. He also refers to abortion as a "safety net."

What is happening with our children?
Bulling, stabbings and shouting in our schools. Why? I want to challenge parents to look at ourselves.
We are not preparing Gardens of Eden for our children we have gardens of infection. When God placed man in the Garden, everything that he needed was in the garden. What secrets are in our garden? Far too many principles and values are missing in our homes.
I'm not speaking of two parents in the home; I'm speaking of parenting in the home, structure, order, and developmental lines of communication. Where are the foundational principles needed to build strong, secure successful young men and women? Our gardens have little to no structure; the order and structure being set in the home are being set by children. Instead of lines of communication our children see lines of confusion, clutter and chaos.
Hurt people hurt people but healthy people help people. Are we healthy? Skeletons in our closet are not our only concern; we have to address the demons in our basement. The ones we've been told to suppress. The one's our parents didn't want to or knew how to deal with. We've just packed them up and moved them to the basement of our emotions.
We can't talk to our children when they come to us about concerns because it forces us to remember what's in the basement. It's time to go into the basement, in the garage, in the attic and clean out all of the baggage/trash that we have packed (suppressed) up.
We can no longer afford to overlook family secrets.
We have to deal with the molestation, the drug and alcohol addictions, and the promiscuity that is being passed down from generation to generation.
Faith without works is dead.
We have to put action to our prayers. We have to deal with happen to us. We have to stop taking our screams for help out on our children.
Our children are a product of our inability to deal with our hurts. Take a close look at your children, do you see any similarities? If we really care about our children's future we need to confront our past.
Healing from our hurts will strengthen our ability to help our children. Don't allow for your hurts to hinder the success of your child.
Get some help, if not for yourself, for your child. www.fcgorange.net

Mental health issues have been a problem not only in St Lucie County, but across the state for years. However if a company elects to provide housing for anyone in this area they need to abide by the rules. Hopefully we will be able to provide assistance in better form that have that illness.Jail is NOT he answer.
They are alive and fine. Thats good news .
Kudos for the state closing it down. They should check every such facility in St Lucie County and do the same if such violations are discovered. How could anyone ignore patients in this manner. Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the public..
You are so correct. However as long as we send representatives to Washington to represent us, that do not,it will continue. Our flag has gone through some tough times and I suspect it will survive this one as well.
Instead of fighting it from a "number' of who can live in a residence perhaps the city would be wise to defend it from a business point of view. Are these homes not a 'business' which is established in a residential area? Could you build a 7-11 there? I think not. What is the difference. How about a hotel/motel setting in a non-residential area.Lets find out how many we have in the city already..where they are and how many 'residents' are in each one. You would be surprised.
Good letter Bob. you are exactly correct. This problem has been in Port ST Lucie for some years as you point out . While many agree such homes do not belong in a residential neighborhood only an uproar by the citizens overall will change it. The real question is..where are our elected officials on this. Are they moving to change it? Has a bill be introduced to change it?I think we all know the answer to that. Remember that come election time. It could be your neighborhood next.
I agree. If the person had such a history why does the system have a court place him on probation with strict restrictions on not having possession of any animal. I agree with the writer...time to have a strict penalty for any person who convicts such an act.
Thanks Ron.Good letter. As a Viet Nam vet I aree that more needs to be done for our vets. it is impossible to understand how we can have thousands of vets sleeping under a bridge or going without food after they did their part . Politics aside- they served-they deserve better. Keep uUp the fight.
It is great news to hear such a positive story about the city. Lets hope that it continues on a climb back to prosperity,
Irving from Iowa hit it on the head:"I've got a friend thats hooked on these places, when asked how'd you do, she says came out with 100, but fails to tell you she went in with 200. until I figured her out I thought she was making money. If everyone that says they made money really did these places would be bankrupt."While there have been so great blogs about our freedom perhaps we have to realize when something comes along that is bad for us- like cigarettes, alcohol and such, we should question it. Not wait till we are up to our necks in the water. I wonder if anyone considered such problems as money laundering, organized crime, seniors losing the funds they have to live on etc. We have the casinos that are regulated-these appear not to be.
It Is gambling regardless of what level or how much you play it. Remember these operations would not be in business unless they could take your money.Thank the city council of Port St. Lucie who fought such operations coming into the city a few years ago.
Have to agree with them Anthony. It appears that when the mayor and council do something right, they should get credit.
"I said let's allow (Oravec) to work out his contract. He could've taken some time off. "If I recall she did not suggest that when they threw the past city manager Jerry Bentrott under the bus. The key in past years, as much as some disliked him, was Don Cooper coordinated and directed the council, not controlled them and thus avoided any disagreement.
Recently my wife was experiencing a hearing loss and went to a hearing specialist. 'You need a hearing device, at $2800.00 each."''. She went to a second doctor and found it was just water in the ear drum, it was corrected and she hears fine.Sometimes a second opinion is warranted and will save you money. I agree, it's all about the profit- not he patient in some cases.
The ability to properly communicate and not dictate, the ability to make all employees of an organization feel they are appreciated, the ability to explain your actions in advance to the council as Don Cooper did, so you do not have this in-fighting, all play an important role with any City Manager. The city manager is gone, the council should move on and focus on finding the right person who can do this.And some good Public Relations stories for the city,which does occur each day, should be forthcoming. Enough bad PR already!
TCG1 wrote:"Is it common practice to take advice from a person you just fired?"Valid point.
While many have varied views on why it did not work, the end result is it simply did not. He is gone and now hopefully the city will choose carefully his replacement, one who can communicate not dictate. There is still hope the city can make it happen. Lets hope.
Managers should manage and communicate. They should not work 90 hours a week as this reflects the 'no one can do it better then I can' or distrust in those who are responsible for those tasks.Different managers have different traits,some good , some bad. If your management style is disruptive that the company is unable to function properly, it is simply time to change or leave.At some point as a manager you have to ask yourself, 'Am I part of the solution or part of the problem'.
While such a positive statement is expected from a person in her position I have to respectfully disagree. this type of action by any city does have an impact on those who may consider a move to Port St. Lucie. Lets face it, someone has to leave-the right leaders have to be chosen-and everyone work to bring the city back to it's original state as it was years ago, which was a great place to reside. It is clear a change must occur to 'Team PSL".
If Port St. Lucie is to grow in any type of business we have to think positive. This move by Bass Pro is a positive one, it will bring jobs to the area,those shopping will hopefully use local establishments as well. It is a plus and the Mayor and Port St Lucie should be applauded for their efforts.
Have to agree with Little Ladddy, our educators deserve to be on the 'nice' list as many others who serve the community each day. Especially in light of what some have experienced this past week.
mrstalky wrote: "Following a drunk or drugged person down the road so you can watch them kill an innocent person, is absolutely not acceptable. An impared handicapped, 100 pound woman in a 4 or 5 thousand pound truck is just as deadly as any other criminal fleeing, or failing to stop for a cop".Have to agree with him on that. If the driver had killed someone everyone would be after the deputy for not taking such action. They cannot win. This is why we have a court system.
This is a joke right?
Smaller Business posted: "I would never want to own a business in PSL."This says it all. What in the world is wrong with PSL City Government! At a time like this it is time for some common sense. Apparently a good way to start is to elect some new people to city council and get a new city manager.
Anyone but Ron who many of us remember from years past.
WTA wrote..'I see Berger as having done little, except to lead this city to the brink of bankruptcy. We need new blood on the council. Not 4 more years of trying to turn us into Broward or Dade county.'Well stated.
Good article Eve. Lets all remember there is no good war and that those who fight it for us deserve the best treatment to cure this terrible problem.
"Taxpayers must believe they can trust those who have the authority to spend their money. And if locals do not have the expertise to assess a pending deal, they should hire professionals."
Sounds logical and a common sense move. Then why did PSL officials not do this. Tax payers cannot continue to have such elected officials and city managers make such terrible mistakes.Remember that in November.
"They've all got the Boca dream. Unfortunately, they've got a Port St. Lucie wallet."This says it all.
In response to Miss Reagan:Your argument as to gun control was impressive however it's not about gun control. It is about allowing special needs chidren to continue to have a place to play ball.You have to ask yourself, who makes these decisions. The public is simply tired of such nonsense.
John you are right on,however when you have politicians who vote out of fear they will not be liked instead or doing the right thing this is what you get. They have no fear as they are not responsible as an individual, the tax payer is. It is simply time to elect some people who have common sense. Lets start this November.
Yes, it's all about, the money.. and not what will benefit the people who payed for it. I wonder what Mr Fenn would say if he was present now. Time for the County Commissioners to step up on this one and determine who made such a bozo decision. Yes that's what we need folks.... more gun shows!
While we must realize that if every major funding decision would be approved/disapproved by public vote nothing would be accomplished. With that stated when something of this size occurs and no one checked at all blinded by the fact they wanted such a business to come to PSL, that is truly wrong. The public depends on the council to do their job. They did not. Those that did so need to go- it's that simple.
Now that the shock has worn off folks lets ask the real question. How are you going to pay for all this fiscal mismanagement. It certainly should not be by keeping those who were involved in office this November. If you do you will just get more of the same thing.
Tax breaks are a reality as so many counties and cities use them as a tool to convince business to relocate in their city. However to give a private business tax payer money is way off the chart.When was the last time any small business got a cash incentive to come to PSL.Such actions should stop at once. Lets try and stop trying to be something in PSL we are not- Boca.
What they do to this business owner was wrong, simply wrong. We are a better society then that.While I may not agree with anyone in politics you should respect that position.I see more hate in our society now then ever before and there is simply no valid reason for it.
They built a 130 seat 3-D movie theater and they want to know why they went bankrupt? The sad part is every tax payer in Port St Lucie who never sat in any of those seats will pay for it. And the power players who created it convinced former Florisda Sen Ken Ambler to submit an amendment in 2009 which allowed the state to give the 20 million without the normal vetting process? Oh yes-Amblers son was hired by Digital Domain.Tell me there is not something wrong here.
Excellent! While Eastwoods comments may have disturbed some and his words may have not been as quick as many of us could do, they were accurate."You, we — we own this country," said the High Plains Drifter. "Politicians are employees of ours.".Perhaps it is time they realize that.I for one am tired of their inability to solve our nations problems.
Bouncer asked:"Is there an MBA anywhere in City Hall? "Yes there was such a person at the police department, experienced and one who would have seen through this deal and told the truth to the public. Unfortunately the CM fired him.
Please stop writing wrote in part:" You are always fast to criticize Mayor Faiella, but fail to properly report that DON COOPER and GREG ORAVEC got this city into a financial mess. They are the one's that guide the city council".While we all want the city to grow we must be cautious with tax payers money and future. This was not done in this case. But it is what it is- and now the council needs to find the money to make that payment. We cannot afford sidewalks but we can make such mistakes. I cannot beleive this is happening in a city which was so vibrant such a short time ago.
NEK13 wrote in part:"All of this was preventable, but too many were stuck with heads in clouds dreaming about PSL being a big city and becoming some sort of Digital Hub that they were easily fooled by fast talking, slick business ideas that only prove to fleece the taxpayers."Now that is an accurate statement.
It is difficult not to feel anger over the closing of DD especially when it was hyped as the new salvation for Port St. Lucie. What is amazing is that the council does not examine these' deals' and who is involved in them.Anytime someone shows up wanting money to start a business with no proof of how it will work , a red flag should go up. This is not being hateful, it is just common sense.The City Council must take a closer examination at such requests ,not just agree based on what the Cty Manager say's.This one will haunt business futures in PSL for a long time.
Bouncher wrote in part:"Watch the bond rating."This is what the city has to be concerned about. When this drops the problem really starts. I still have to ask why the city council gets involved in these situations giving money or building a location to any company who wants to come here. This was such a no brainer.
Is todays climate of business after business going under I fail to realize why any city would enter into an agreement where they would lose if the company fails. We do not do it for other business, why this company. And how many actual residents did they hire.
One of the more positive attributes to the Port St Lucie Police Department. A person who cared about not only all police officers but also the community. Good luck Mr. Mahan, thank you for your service, you will be missed.
It is simply a short sighted rule which is clearly controlling and I am pleased that all home owner associations are not so restrictive.If someone has a large Ford Flex or Expedition, which is simply a F-150 body with an attached top, it would be permitted? Time for the association to move into todays world.
I agree with Joe Vet. Ellens comments and the response is an issue which can be reached by serious communications, something obviously the political parties lack. Good points Ellen.Perhaps if we did away with both parties we would get something accomplished?
What I fail to understand is why would you fire a staff officer making $109.000.00 a year who is doing no wrong and replace him with a person of your choosing, pay him $109.000.00 a year but only with a different title. Where is the savings here.That makes no sense. Something is not right.

This entire scenerio reeks of misconduct.However our city council sit on the sidelines and allow it to happen. They should be ashamed.
Fl Native wrote:(in part)"If the current economic trends continue the city is going to be in deep trouble and it will take the best and the brightest working together to save your bacon."Now that is an accurate statement.It is amazing that the council does not take a firmer hand with the CM and his decisions. The city has a big image problem at this time.Ask yourself this..if you were a CEO looking to relocate a company to PSL..would you?Time for new ideas and leadership. This is obviously not working.
