Working With Abusive Men & Fathers
Fatherhood can be a strong motivator for some abusive fathers to renounce their violence. Some men choose to change their violent behavior when they realize the damage they are doing to their children.
As a national leader in engaging men to end violence against women, Futures Without Violence, formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund, believes that it is critical to develop new strategies to motivate abusive men to renounce their violence and help heal their families. To that effect, we have developed several projects to support practitioners from different fields that engage abusive men and fathers.
Fathering After Violence
Fathering After Violence is a national initiative developed by Futures Without Violence and its partners to enhance the safety and well-being of women and children by motivating men to renounce their violence and become better fathers and more supportive parenting partners. This groundbreaking project is based on the premise that men who use violence can be held accountable for their behavior and, at the same time, be encouraged to change it by using fatherhood as a leading approach.
National Institute on Fatherhood and Domestic Violence
Futures Without Violence developed the National Institute on Fatherhood and Domestic Violence (NIFDV) to train and provide technical assistance to professionals who work with abusive fathers in different fields, using the Fathering After Violence framework. In partnership with the Office on Violence Against Women, we have trained practitioners from over 40 communities across the US, including: DV advocates, supervised visitation, batterers intervention and fatherhood programs, judges and other law enforcement, and child protection workers.
Programs for Men Who Batter
Can men who use violence really change their behavior? This is a complex question that many studies have failed to clearly answer. Some research shows that some men who complete a non-violence program can make significant changes in their lives while other experiments demonstrate minimal transformation.
Futures Without Violence believes that personal and societal change of men who use violence and the institutions that support their abuse need to be addressed to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse. If non-violence programs don't work, we think we should look for alternatives; if they do work for some men, we ought to explore how to reach more abusers.
In an effort to explore these questions, Futures Without Violence has convened a series of national meetings with researchers and practitioners in the field of batterers intervention. In partnership with the National Institute of Justice and "The Woods" Charitable Foundation, Futures Without Violence co-sponsored an expert roundtable to explore how to improve systems that work with perpetrators of DV and how research could be more helpful to the field. The roundtable produced a series of recommendations which were compiled in the report Batterer Intervention: Doing the Work and Measuring the Progress.
Futures Without Violence and the National Insitute of Justice also commissioned four papers by leading experts and researchers in the field:
- Certified Batterer Intervention Programs: History, Philosophies, Techniques, Collaborations, Innovations, and Challenges. By David Adams, Ed.D.
- Assessing the Efficacy of Batterer Intervention Programs in Context. By Etiony Aldarondo, Ph.D.
- The Survival of Batterer Programs: Responding to Evidence-Based Practice and Improving Program Operation. By Edward Gondolf, Ed.D., M.P.H.
- Future Directions for BIPs: Examining the Power of Male Peer Support and Building Alternative Support Communities. By Barbara Hart, J.D.
One of the recommendations from the roundtable was to document innovative and promising practices in batterers intervention. Futures Without Violence is presently leading a project to compile, produce and disseminate a publication that records such practices. Check back soon for updates on this effort!

System Failure: California's Prop 13
1. In virtually every county, commercial property is paying a far smaller share of the property tax since Proposition 13 passed in 1978.
2. Commercial property is able to exploit huge loopholes in the law to avoid reassessment upon change in ownership.
In virtually every county in the state, the share of the property tax borne by residential property has increased since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, while the share of the property tax borne by non-residential property has decreased. Some examples: in Contra Costa County, the residential share of the property tax went from 48% to 73%. In Santa Clara, the residential share went from 50% to 64%, despite massive industrial/commercial growth. In Los Angeles, it went from 53% to 69%. In Orange, it went from 59% to 72%.
Moreover, major changes of ownership in major commercial properties which have gone without reassessment. Some that have been examined are predominantly those of private equity buyouts, corporate purchases of companies, and bank mergers which have avoided reassessment. In particular, found was a tax system which is inconsistently applied in many counties. There are many properties, particularly banks, but also hotels and other commercial properties, which should have been reassessed but have not been, and found that some counties have assessed these properties while others have not.
Why this inconsistency occurs: the law is a mess! Many examined records and cases from the Board of Equalization demonstrated incredible complexity used to avoid taxes, complexity which should have nothing to do with the assessors' job, which is to only determine property valuation.
One, counties should be reassessing many commercial properties, in order to avoid basic cuts in services and programs. There appears to be many millions of dollars in tax revenue which is going uncollected.
*Second, the law should be changed at least to make sure that obvious changes of commercial ownership, such as private equity buyouts and corporate takeovers, trigger a reassessment. AB 2492 (Ammiano) in the 2010 session would accomplish this modest change.
Great points
Wow - your analysis is right on the money. Could not have said it better myself. We need to close the commercial property loopholes. Its amazing Assemblymember Ammiano's bill could not even get a vote. Such a modest change would only begin to treat large commercial properties like single family homes, which get reassessed when there is a sale.
Forgot to ask you to join me at www.closetheloophole.com to close the commercial property loophole.
Why discriminate against business?
Doesn't the residential home owner make out nicely at time of sale because of Prop 13? Excusing residential real estate from Prop 13 reform obscures the principled argument we should be making. Those who own nature (land) that has value added by the growth of community should not get to privatize that value added; instead that added value should be returned to the community via the property tax. But making some allowance for land owners, say $200K: deducting that amount from the assessed value of all land before applying the tax might settle everyone's beef. Pricey commerical land values would get a smallish deduction but still pay loads more than residential land. For instance, residential land worth $200k wouldn't pay squat, while land valued at $400k would pay on $200k.
The point is that the beneficiary of community-generated land values should not get to capitalize community contribution. If he does, then public revenue must be collected on the back of thrift, industry, and innovation. That's insidious.

Trenton Elementary School – At Trenton Elementary School, the afterschool program has started a wonderful 4-H project that should keep them busy for the rest of the year! Building on the vermiculture project they started last year with Mr. Rayner and Ms. Stephanie, we started worm journals where we examined what our worms look like and drew pictures of them; we explored how long they get when they stretch out and how short they can be as well, recording that data; and then we did more experiments on the kinds of environments worms prefer. They plan to continue to work together to build up their worm bins, and even hope to harvest castings in the spring for planting seedlings. Keep up the good work!
Ella Lewis School – On November 19th as part of a professional development day, fourteen Ella Lewis teachers and staff took part in a school 4-H volunteer training session. For two hours, they got a chance to learn all about 4-H programming and how it fits with the great teaching already happening at their school. We had great fun with interactive activities to explore experiential learning and positive youth development, and also had a chance to explore some of the resources available through the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. Thank you to all those at Ella Lewis School for being such wonderful teachers and mentors to all you your youth – and thank you for helping to make 4-H part of their learning and growing process!

For youth in counties which do not hold public speaking tournaments, arrangements may be made through their county's Extension office to either participate in a neighboring county's tournament or present in another format to be eligible. Registration for the regional tournament must be handled through the youth's county Extension office. To register youth, county offices should contact Joyce Fortier in the Hancock County Extension Office no later than March 13th at 667-8212 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on 4-H public speaking, including guidelines and judging sheets, please visit http://umaine.edu/hancock/programs/hancock-county-4-h/ or contact Lisa Reilich at 207-598-6621 or email@example.com.

3. Invention Convention – The Invention Convention is a statewide competition that promotes important life and work skills for Maine middle school students. Throughout the school year, students work to identify and solve problems by using a systematic approach to innovation. After competing against their peers at a local level, top students will be invited to attend the state conference where they compete for the top invention awards. The competition is open to any school offering grades 6, 7, and/or 8, as well as children who are homeschooled. For more information about the Maine Invention Convention, visit http://www.maineinvents.org or call Angela Marcolini at the UMaine Foster Center for Student Innovation at 207-581-1454, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

4. 4-H Farm-to-Fair Key Volunteers Needed – Did you get to visit the 4-H Farm-to-Fair interactive exhibit at the 2012 Union Fair? The Knox-Lincoln 4-H Leaders' Association reports that the response from the public was resoundingly positive! Local families and folks visiting the area from other states (and countries) praised the exhibit for being fun and informative, a great way to teach kids about how the food they eat and products they use are produced.
In order to continue the success of this exhibit at Union Fair, two key volunteer roles will need to be filled as soon as possible. A Volunteer Coordinator is needed to seek out and organize the schedule of volunteers operating the exhibit for the 8 days that the fair is open (August 17-24, 2013). The person, or team of two, needs to commit to being available for all of these days. If there is a team of two, the times can be shared.
We also seek a Farm Store Coordinator, who will coordinate the products that kids will choose from to take home after they have been through the exhibit. This person will be responsible for procuring enough donations of locally-produced items to fill the store shelves every day the exhibit is open. This will be done prior to fair week, so your presence will not be needed during the fair.
If you can help or want to learn more, contact Cindy Rogers, 4-H Program Aide, Knox and Lincoln Counties, 832-0343, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Banana Snowmen
Blend a few bananas with some milk. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to make it creamier and also to add that aromatic touch. Freeze it for sometime and then scoop out a few balls of different sizes from this. Stack three balls together with the help of a toothpick to make a snowman. Make eyes and nose using raisin bits. Use a dash of chocolate frosting for the mouth. To make the scarf, use red licorice string. Place two grapes for a top hat and pretzel sticks for arms. Enjoy.

A high pressure system over the southern Tasman Sea is directing a moist onshore flow over the east and southeast Australian seaboard. As a result, areas of low cloud are evident over the Victorian, Tasmanian, New South Wales and southern Queensland coasts.
Further inland, areas of low and middle level convective cloud over the southern interior of Queensland, northern New South Wales and South Australia is due to an inland trough of low pressure.
A cloud band moving across the southwest of WA is associated with a prefrontal trough and cold front passing over the area.

CPT for ENT: Zenker's Diverticulum
Zenkers Diverticulum is a pouch found above the cervical esophagus. It causes swallowing difficulties (Dysphagia), regurgitation, weight loss and other symptoms. When an Otolaryngologist performs open surgical excision of a Zenkers diverticulum, he or she should report CPT code:
- 43130 - Diverticulectomy of the hypopharynx or esophagus, with or without myotomy; cervical approach
However, with recent advances in technology, most otolaryngologists choose to perform these excisions endoscopically. Currently, there are not any codes for the endoscopic removal of Zenkers diverticulum. In order to code properly for endoscopic removal of a Zenkers diverticulum, the Academy recommends use of the unlisted procedure code(s):
- 43499 - Unlisted procedure, esophagus
Do not select a CPT code that only approximates the service provided. If you are unable to find an exact description of the procedure as performed, you should report the most appropriate unlisted procedure code.

July 1 in the NHL arrived as it does every year, with intensely-focused hype on just a few star unrestricted free agents who will change teams for tens of millions of dollars and as many as 10 -- make that 13 -- years.
Naturally, top targets Zach Parise and Ryan Suter went nowhere.
Granted, more than 40 players changed teams, some for many years and millions of dollars, but the hottest names stayed put for now. Why? Because they can.
Parise held camp at his agent's quarters in Mississauga, Ontario, as at least five teams flattered him with offers, some believed in excess of 10 years and $100 million. Meanwhile, Suter was reportedly fielding offers from his farm -- no rush, and no word of whether he was being hand fed grapes on his chaise lounge -- while teams like the Philadelphia Flyers were reported to be tossing offers of 12 years and over $80 million at both him and Parise.
Other reports had a 13-year offer on the table for Suter, while Parise supposedly was demanding $24 million in signing bonuses.
Hey, when you're the most in-demand name at your position, why not let teams come to you and out-stupid one another?
Ironically, it is these two players' star power, and bargaining power, that made the first day of NHL free agency such a strange letdown for fans of so many teams. While Parise and Suter take their time weighing cap-breaking offers from teams that absolutely must throw their budget at the shiniest toys on the markets, countless other free agents scrambled to land on any team would take them.
That's why for every six-year contract for a Jason Garrison (to the Canucks for $27.6 million), there is a one-year, $1 million deal for a Brad Boyes. Garrison entered the NHL after Junior B and NCAA, not becoming an NHL regular until age 26, now he's a multi-millionaire. Boyes once made more than $4 million per year and once scored more than 40 goals, but now at age 30 he's jumping at a below-market offer from a bottom-five team.
Multiple reports suggested Suter and Parise will each be weighing their offers and coming to a decision on Monday. But their patience, and their ability to take their time weighing offers, meant most NHL fans were left unfulfilled by the ballyhooed first day of free agency. While everyone is hoping against hope that their team made the sexy big score, Sunday's signings consisted of depth players and aging semi-stars changing teams for small raises.
(Oh, and the occasional 30-something defenseman headed to Florida for $8 million or so -- Filip Kuba to the Panthers for $8 million over two years, Sami Salo to the Tampa Bay Lightning for $7.5 million over two years.)
As Monday dawned, Parise was still on the table, Suter was still on the table, Alexander Semin was still available but getting bashed by TSN, and hot trade targets Rick Nash, Bobby Ryan and Roberto Luongo had gone nowhere.
When it comes to July 1 in the NHL, the anticipation tends to be much better than the actual show.

Gas leak closes Stadium Blvd. intersection in Columbia
A gas leak on Stadium Boulevard in Columbia has closed the intersection with West Ash Street until further notice.
As of Thursday 4 p.m., traffic on Stadium Boulevard can proceed normally northbound/southbound and traffic can turn east on Ash Street, however drivers cannot turn west onto Ash Street.
Traffic is reportedly heavy in the area. Drivers should be prepared for delays or avoid the area.
Columbia Fire Department Battalion Chief James Weaver said Ameren has crews on the scene fixing the leak.
An Ameren spokesperson said a contractor for the city of Columbia hit a four-inch gas line around 10:30 a.m. while doing work for the Stadium Boulevard expansion project.
The gas line knocked out natural gas service to three business. Gas was restored around 2 p.m.

Hey guys,
I just released my first package through Cydia and have had a few people contact me about getting it reviewed. One person asked if I could give it to him by assigning it to his Cydia account number.
But when I got into the Cydia account management section, all I see is my package but no place to assign the package to other Cydia accounts. Is this something I need to discuss with my package maintainer? He said others have done it for him in the past (and sounds like he really doesn't want to pay, which if he's reviewing a lot of stuff, I totally understand).

Every dog lover has a favorite dog movie. Writers and directors know that having a cute, intelligent dog as a main character will make their movie shine and their wallets bulge. But dog lovers don't care. They just love to love their favorite dog-stars.
Over the last few weeks, we've gone doggone crazy over those cuddly canines in the theatres. From Marley & Me to Hotel for Dogs. But what about all of those other flicks featuring our four-legged friends?
In this PetStyle exclusive, we share the movies that are most commonly loved by families everywhere. Read on and see which ones you'll want to add to your movie queue.
1. 101 Dalmatians: In 1961, the animated version of this movie was the highest grossing movie of its time. Later, in 1996, the live-action version was also a high earner with a lifetime gross of over $136,000,000. The story or evil Cruella kidnapping litters of Dalmatian puppies for their fur and the race to save them appeals to kids and adults alike.
2. Marley and Me: The latest in dog films that tug at your heart strings, this movie is already at the top of the charts as far as earnings go, ranking third among all dog movies in the last 35 years. Expect it to climb higher as it is still going strong in the theaters. This one is definitely a must-purchase movie.
3. Cats & Dogs: Ranking just behind Marley and Me in earnings, this is a spy movie with a twist. The cats, under the direction of evil Mr. Tinkles, are secretly plotting to foil attempts to cure dog allergies in humans. Secret agent dogs are on the case, working to protect the determined scientist and save human-kind from dog allergies.
4. Eight Below: Based on the true story of an Antarctic dog-sled guide who is forced to leave his beloved team behind in a terrible storm. The inventive team is able to work out how to take care of themselves in incredible situations in an effort to be happily reunited with their distraught human.
5. Snow Dogs: When confirmed dog-hater Ted Brooks travels to Alaska to claim his inheritance he is suddenly intrigued by the sport of mushing. His determination to win the "Arctic Challenge" makes for a hilarious movie for the whole family.

This was the second cruise my husband and I have taken, both with Celebrity. The previous one was 5 years ago on the Millennium. Lets start with the positives of which there were many. Firstly our cabin. I was worried that the ocean view stateroom would be a bit of a let down after having had a balcony on our previous cruise but in fact it was even better! It was a good size and we were right at the front of the ship overlooking the helicopter pad. The window was really big and provided us with fantastic views as we sailed into each port. Our attendant kept the room pristine. The ship itself was beautiful and cleanliness was an obvious priority. There was plenty of room to sit and relax but one tip I'd pass on is to get up early and "reserve" a sun-lounger, especially on the at-sea days. One day I wandered around for ages trying to find two loungers together but there were towels left on most of the unoccupied ones, despite Celebrity's policy of removing them after 30 minutes this didn't appear to happen. I enjoyed the food but feel it's not quite up to the standard it was on our last cruise. The waiters were pleasant, very attentive and entertaining. The whole of the staff/crew were wonderful, I could not fault them, with the exception of one miserable chef (?) serving in the poolside Aqua cafe. Loved all the ports, some more than others but it was very hectic. Definitely needed those days at sea to have a rest and recharge our batteries.
OK so there were one or two disappointments but before I have a moan let me say that overall we had a terrific time and there are always going to be things that could be improved. I think the worst thing was the room service. We ordered food four times, once for breakfast and the others were later in the evening. The breakfast order we received was not ours, the other food was luke warm or cold when it arrived and had things missing. Not good. The entertainment was great sometimes, usually in the theatre e.g. the comedian, the circus performers, the violinist, the Beatles act, but also not very good at times. Entertainment at various locations around the ship was fine to begin with but then these musical acts just repeated the same repertoire time and time again, which became quite annoying. I seem to remember on our previous cruise that free drinks such as tea, coffee and juice were available in more places. It's not always clear where they are and sometimes they're a good walk away so you end up paying for a drink instead. We looked at the drinks packages and they are all VERY expensive.
So not too much to complain about. All in all we had a fantastic time and would return again in a heartbeat but sadly it will be at least another 5 years before we can save up enough to go again. : (

— To the Editor:
For many Americans, March represents the beginning of spring, competitive basketball tournaments, and St. Patrick's Day.
Celebrating the patron saint of Ireland with the belief that everyone is Irish on March 17, St. Patrick's Day has opened the door to several festive traditions in the United States. The holiday, which is not official in the U.S., is widely celebrated with tributes to Irish culture, displays of green, feasting, parades, and most commonly, heavy drinking.
During the month of March in 2012, there were 524 alcohol-related collisions in Indiana. Of these collisions, six fatalities were reported.
On St. Patrick's Day in 2010, 32 percent of fatalities from motor vehicle accidents were connected to drivers with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or above.
Statistics illustrate that a celebration of a patron saint has now become a symbol for partying in the United States. These trends have caught the concern and attention of law enforcement and responsible alcohol consumption and underage drinking prevention organizations, including Project RAD (Responsible Alcohol Distribution).
In order to make a change, moderation and control must be highly encouraged and promoted during St. Patrick's Day events.
The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute is currently working with 250 state and local law enforcement agencies on a 16-day, high-visibility crackdown on impaired and dangerous driving known as "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over." The joint forces will deploy sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and other enforcement tactics to detect and remove impaired drivers from the roads.
The Indiana State Excise Police have initiated "Intensified College Enforcement" patrols around college campuses looking for alcohol abuse and underage drinking.
The Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers, a group composed of liquor store owners and a Project RAD partner, applauds law enforcement for its efforts in curbing underage drinking and excess drinking and driving. This year, we have asked our members to arm their customers with facts and figures about the dangers associated with binge drinking this St. Patrick's Day.
As small business owners, our members are part of the community, and they want to ensure safe streets and highways this weekend.
We don't want Hoosiers to try their luck this St. Patrick's Day. Choose to drink responsibly so that you can be around for next year's celebration, too.
John Livengood
President/CEO, Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers

Seeing an opportunity, advertisers and media outlets alike swept in with content developed just for this moment, when they knew millions upon millions of people would be looking for something to fill the time so they wouldn't have to listen to the CBS sports crew try to improvise.
Oreo and Tide get props for being and incredibly creative and fast on their feet, but there were others. And new media companies like Mashable and BuzzFeed -- who are more accustomed to the pace at which the world moves today -- were all over the place, and not just during the blackout, but during the entire game. My phone was lighting up with Google+ updates from Mashable all night and BuzzFeed was awash in Twitter trend summaries and Illuminati speculation.
The collective reaction proves what content marketers have been told for a while now: to make an impact, you have to be there with relevant content when there's an audience ready to consume. Oreo had the great (but expensive) whisper fight commercial teed up last night. But what's bringing them the most attention this morning? A cheapo jpeg created and approved on the fly.
Power out? No problem. twitter.com/Oreo/status/29— Oreo Cookie (@Oreo) February 4, 2013
Now, admittedly, most of us don't have social media mission control rooms filled with creatives and executives gathered for the sole purpose of capitalizing on a huge ad spend. But the principle remains the same: Know your audience, seek opportunities to create content that's interesting to them and provide it at just the right moment. Like Audi did in its very funny tweet that poked Mercedes-Benz, its competitor that holds the naming rights to the Superdome:
Sending some LEDs to the @mbusa Superdome right now...— Audi (@Audi) February 4, 2013
What's the right moment? Keep your eyes and ears open and you'll know. In the meantime, be prepared, be nimble and be smart. To the quick-draw content marketer goes the spoils.

Pruning, planting and maintenance
Garden type
Top tips
There are many advantages of pruning in the summer – it can be done in several stages up to the end of August. We recommend pruning in dry weather so that the cut edges dry up more quickly and heal better.
August is generally thought of as the holiday month, so make time to visit some gardens open to the public. Not only will you enjoy seeing other people's concepts, you will also find ideas to suit your own plot, regardless of how large or small it is. Keep on top of regular jobs, though, preventing them piling up as September will be a much busier time for the gardener.
Pruning is an important way of improving the growth and flowering of trees and shrubs.
August is such a beautiful month when we can expect fine weather. The perfect time for pruning various shrubs and trees.
As well as enjoying your garden plants you can also enjoy your houseplants this month. You can also cut some of your favourite flowers from the garden to brighten your living room.
The summer garden is a favourite for gardeners to enjoy with all the cheerful colours and scents around. Your garden or patio serves as a summer lounge where you can enjoy the long warm evenings to the full. Overcast days are perfect to get on top of little chores that will prolong the abundance of flowers.
A month when you will gets lots of enjoyment from your container plants! They will be flowering in abundance and may even bring back memories of well enjoyed holidays from faraway places.
During an extended dry period 'damp down' the greenhouse floor.
August is a good month to enjoy your pond as there is little maintenance required. So sit by the pond and relax.
A healthy green lawn gives the garden a cared for and fresh look. However, grass has a hard time in summer due to the hot temperatures and high humidity. Here are some useful tips for looking after your lawn this month.
August is a good month for harvesting. Enjoy your own delicious healthy fruit and vegetables. Make sure you harvest them whilst they are still young and tender. The taste is always so much better.

In the trade package for Chris Paul, who was reportedly sent to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, the New Orleans Hornets are getting two incredible pieces. One is stud shooting guard Eric Gordon, the second coming of Mitch Richmond. The other is the unprotected 2012 first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Wolves traded the pick with Sam Cassell to the Clippers in 2005 (yes, 2005) for Marko Jaric (yes, Marko Jaric). It had been protected for a number of years, but the Wolves have been so bad that the protections finally ran out. No matter how bad Minnesota is this season, the Hornets will take their pick in the draft.
For an idea of just how bad the Wolves have been lately:
- Minnesota has more losses (190) than any other team in the NBA over the past three seasons, averaging roughly a 19-63 record each year. The second-worst team over that span, the Kings, have averaged a 22-60 record.
- Minnesota has finished with one of the six worst records in the league in each of the past four seasons, one of the four worst three times and one of the two worst in each of the past two seasons.
- Minnesota has not drafted lower than No. 7 overall since 2005.
The 2012 draft also happens to be one of the best drafts since 2007, when Greg Oden and Kevin Durant went No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

Hi there,
My name is Katie and this is a photo of my puppy, Pharaoh. He is 7 months old, and when I heard about the cow that was born with a "heart shape" on its forehead, I figured why not share a picture of my dog's "heart shape" too. He has one on his right side and you can see it pretty clearly in this photo. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought it'd be cute to show it now!

Is Iberia Parish one step closer to consolidation? At Wednesday's Iberia Parish's Council meeting a resolution will be brought to the floor requesting the city of New Iberia consolidate three of its departments with the parish.
Parish Council member David Ditch will once again try to propose consolidation, but unlike last year when he was on the New Iberia City Council, he's only looking at three departments. A year after having his city council resolution rejected he says he still believes a full consolidation is the best thing for the parish.
"We are having a lot of duplications in not only services but department heads that frankly in my opinion are a waste of money." said Ditch.
No one on the New Iberia City Council has created any such resolution this year or has one been rejected. But New Iberia Mayor Hilda Curry says she's still opposed.
"I'm concerned that if we consolidate with the parish that our services in the city would not be as effective as they are today. In addition to the fact that it may cost our citizens more." said Curry.
And Lafayette City-Parish Government President Joey Durel says consolidating and cutting out redundancies may not save the parish money in the long run. Because consolidated services doesn't mean consolidated finances.
"All those things did save some money, but some of the inefficiencies cost us more money than the efficiencies." said Durel.
Council Member Ditch says he we would like to see the question of full consolidation on the November ballot, but says there are some timing issues in getting it on.

PEORIA, Ill -- An argument between two families Friday afternoon, lead to an arrest and four people being sent to the hospital.
The two families had been fighting before Friday over an issue being held in court.
The first family parked in the Enterprise Rental Car parking lot and then went into Peoria County's courthouse.
When they came back out just before 2 pm Friday, they found the other family in the parking lot waiting for them.
The two families began to argue, when a woman in a black SUV rammed into a green car belonging to the other family.
Four people were inside the green car at the time of the crash, and were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The woman was arrested on 4 counts of aggravated battery with a vehicle. Her name is not being released at this time.

It's NASCAR race day at Michigan International Speedway, and we've got the actual race start time, the starting lineup and some other facts about today's Pure Michigan 400 for you below.
What time does the race start today? At 1:07 p.m. Eastern today, the American Badass himself – Kid Rock – will give the command to fire engines. After a few pace laps, the green flag is set to wave at 1:16 p.m. Eastern. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the actual race, turn on your TV set at 1:16 p.m. EDT.
Race name/distance: Today's race is called the Pure Michigan 400 – "Pure Michigan" being Michigan's tourism campaign. The math is pretty simple: 200 laps around Michigan's 2-mile oval for a total of 400 miles.
TV, radio and live streaming: Today's race can be seen on ESPN. This is ESPN's fourth broadcast of its portion of the season, and it will handle the remainder of the year. There IS live streaming of the race today, which can be found at NASCAR.com's "RaceBuddy" site and on the "Watch ESPN" app. If you'll be away from your computer and TV, check the Motor Racing Network's web site for a list of affiliate radio stations in your area.
*** NOTE: If you're out and about today and can't watch the race, make sure to follow me (@jeff_gluck) on Twitter. I'll be tweeting updates about the event. ***
National anthem: Country music singer Steve Azar (the guy who sang "I Don't Have To Be Me Til Monday") will do the honors today. Michigan likely goes out of its way to find good anthem singers ever since the Saving Abel disaster of a few years ago.
Tickets: The race is not a sellout, so you should be good to go if you're planning to make a last-minute trip on race day.
Weather: The unofficial NASCAR weatherman, Brian Neudorff, says today's weather at Michigan should be unseasonably cool (in the 70s) with a chance of scattered showers. Neudorff doesn't expect the race to be rained out, but it could be delayed by a stray storm or two.
Last time: Uhm...unless you live in a cave, you know what happened last time NASCAR was at Michigan – Dale Earnhardt Jr. snapped a four-year winless streak and went to Victory Lane in dominating fashion. And one year ago, Kyle Busch beat Jimmie Johnson in a green-white-checkered finish to take the 2011 Pure Michigan 400.
Here's the starting lineup for today's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan:
- Mark Martin

The shell of a business and several apartments were left after a fire tore thought it, Sunday afternoon.
"It was just amazing to see the flames. The flames were like 50 feet in the air. They actually had to move the fire truck out the way because it was so hot," Ed DePozo said.
Home video showed how quickly the fire grew out of control around 4p.m. Sunday in Whiting, Indiana.
Flames shot out of Lubia's Dress Shop on 119th and Sheridan and into the middle of the street.
"I didn't see no people get out of the building. I seen there was a couple of squad cars, there was people with no coats on inside the squad cars," DePozo added.
The Whiting Fire Chief said here were 10 to 12 apartments in the building. It was unclear how many people were inside, but officials believed all of them got out safely.
The chief spoke of how quickly this fire grew out of control.
"We pulled back out and then the explosion occurred where the front windows completely blew out. And then all of a sudden the fire started rolling up and a mushroom effect started inside the building," Whiting Fire Chief Gus Danielids said.
Residents stood by and watched as a well known building in downtown Whiting engulfed in flames.
"This building is a part of the landscape here. You know, I mean I come shopping here all the time in this area. They're mom and pop shops over here and I hate to see it go," DePozo said.
The fire chief said community leaders were helping the displaced residents. The American Red Cross was also assisting.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

The fastest, longest hybrid we've ever produced outdistances all others by combining two big advantages: it launches easier and files farther.
More Speed at Impact
NexCOR face technology maximizes distance for the widest range of players through a new speed-expanding multi face thickness design. The NexCOR infinity design creates a bridge for ultra-thin, ultra-hot faces and unmatched ball speed from every club in the bag. Maximum COR is no longer just for drivers.
A Deeper Advantage The compact aerodynamics design delivers both the speed and launch performance for a fairway wood, plus the accuracy and scoring ability of an iron.

Exhibition Alles Reklame! (It's All Advertising!) at Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt - from 7 October 2012 to 6 January 2013
Poster Art of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony
At the beginning of the 20th century, posters were regarded as the "fine art of the street". They were collected by museums and private collections and featured in exhibitions and various publications. In their quest to aesthetically transform all aspects of modern life, many members of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony (1899-1914) set out to communicate their artistic ideas in the public sphere. In the process, they created iconic poster masterpieces that immediately became part of the total artwork Mathildenhöhe.
Alles Reklame! (It's All Advertising!) is the very first exhibition dedicated solely to this group of artworks. The most important posters of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony will be on view by artists such as Joseph Maria Olbrich, Peter Behrens, Hans Christiansen, Johann Vincenz Cissarz, Friedrich Wilhelm Kleukens and Bernhard Hoetger. In total, over 60 posters, watercolors, drawings, and postcards will be shown that were created on the Mathildenhöhe between 1899 and 1914. Important posters from the art nouveau capitals Paris, Munich, and Vienna round off the selection.
In the exhibition, the compositions and motifs of the posters, ranging from art nouveau to expressionism, will be decoded and presented in a multitude of variations and studies. For the first time ever, the economic relevance of the posters for the exhibitions on the Mathildenhöhe will be illuminated alongside other new findings contributing to the research on poster art around 1900.
Wineries. Modernisme + Cooperative movement at CaixaForum, Barcelona - from 6 July to 14 October 2012
This exhibition aims to offer certain keys to understanding the artistic value and architectural singularity of these cellars, also known as Art Nouveau cellars or Cathedrals of wine. It shows various ways of looking at these buildings and approaching them, taking as its central thread the architects (especially Cèsar Martinell, who designed over half of them) and the people who lived them and who still live them: the farmers who mortgaged themselves to push forward a collective project and today's Cooperative members who maintain the commitment and pride that made these architectural giants possible.
Exhibition Other Pedreres at La Pedrera in Barcelona - from 29 October 2012 to 24 February 2013
To celebrate the centenary of finishing works on Casa Milà, 1906-1912, popularly known as La Pedrera (The Quarry), which was the project of the architect Antonio Gaudi i Cornet, Fundacio CatalunyaCaixa is presenting « Other Pedreres ».
This show looks at buildings erected in the same period as La Pedrera, which were also icons representing the best architecture worldwide. The exhibition aims to show the diverse trends in architectural and furnishing styles, as well as in the decorative and applied arts.
Focussing primarily on Western Europe, in a tour of the most emblematic buildings by creators as significant and innovative as Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Joseph Hoffmann and Adolf Loos, it then leaps on the United States to present Frank Lloyd Wright's work.

Exhibition Male Nudes at the Leopold Museum in Vienna - from 19 October 2012 to 4 March 2013
Power and Powerlessness through the Ages
The endless flood of images intrinsic to today's lifestyle has given unprecedented public prominence to the depiction of male nudes. At the same time seemingly firmly established categories such as »masculinity«, »body« and »nakedness« are apparently being redefined on a broad social basis, resulting in a new interpretation of male gender roles. These developments have prompted the Leopold Museum to embark on a topical as well as historical journey through the visual arts in search of the male nude, a quest leading predominantly from the longing for antiquity prevalent in art around 1800 to contemporary art.
This exhibition contains some work of Egon Schiele.

County Commissioner Todd Portune is proposing a 0.25 percent sales tax hike to stabilize the stadium fund and preserve the property tax rebate promised to voters in 1996. The Hamilton County Board of Commissioners will have to approve the hike before it becomes law. It would raise the county sales tax from 6.5 percent to 6.75 percent.
Portune, the lone Democrat on the three-man board, says the county got to this point after years of problems with the stadium fund's solvency culminated into one of two options: either the sales tax goes up or the property tax rebate is rolled back. He claims the two options are the only way to keep the stadium fund stable.
Portune says the 0.25-percent increase on the sales tax will hurt low-income families less than rolling back the property tax rebate. He reasoned the impact of the property tax rollback would focus on Hamilton County residents, including low-income families, while any hike in the sales tax is spread out on anyone who spends money in Hamilton County, including visitors from around the Tristate area. He also pointed out that essentials like food and medicine are exempt from the sales tax, which gives some relief to anyone trying to make ends meet.
On support from other commissioners, Portune says Board President Greg Hartmann agreed either the rebate has to go or the sales tax has to go up, but Hartmann could not be reached by CityBeat for further comment. This story will be updated if comments become available.
Update (Nov. Hartmann called CityBeat after this story was published. He says he has not made a final decision, but he echoed Portune's comments by saying the
"reality of the situation" demands choosing between a sales tax hike or property tax rollback. If the commissioners take the latter option, Hartmann says only a partial rollback will be necessary to draw enough funds. He also cautioned that any one-time sales and spending cuts will not be enough to stabilize the stadium fund in the long term.
Commissioner Chris Monzel says he would rather keep the stadium fund balanced for one year with short-term cuts, including a cut on further investments in The Banks development before raising taxes. After the year is up, Monzel says commissioners could see if revenue from the new Horseshoe Casino and a possible deal involving the University of Cincinnati using Paul Brown Stadium would be enough to sustain the stadium fund in the long term.
The property tax rebate and sales taxes are both generally
considered regressive, meaning they favor the wealthy more than the
poor. In simple terms, as income goes down, spending on goods and
services take bigger bites out of a person's income. A sales tax makes
that disproportionate burden even larger.
One analysis from The Cincinnati Enquirer found the wealthy actually made more money from the property tax rebate than they were taxed by the half-cent sales tax raise that was initially meant to support the stadium fund.
For a previous story covering the stadium fund, Neil DeMause told CityBeat the stadium fund's problems stem from the county government making a "terrible deal" with the Reds and Bengals. DeMause is a journalist who has chronicled his 15-year investigation of stadium deals in his book "Field of Schemes."
