ALBANY — Party City, North America's largest party supply retailer, held the grand opening Friday of its newest store at 2709 Dawson Road, Suite 2 in Albany Square Shopping Center.
The new Party City store is located near Hobby Lobby and features a newly-designed store layout. As one of the national leaders and discounters in the party industry, Party City touts an assortment of party supplies, decorations and costumes for every type of party occasion or holiday.
"This is a marvelous new store," Party City District Manager Andy Viera said. "What makes us different from other party stores is our wide assortment of products for weddings, Halloween and parties. And our candy selection is second to none."
Vieia added he thinks the Albany store will pay dividends for the company.
"We feel like this new center will grow and our business will grow along with it," he said.
According to a company news release, Party City Holdings Inc. designs, manufactures, contracts for manufacture and distributes party goods, including paper and plastic tableware, metallic balloons, accessories, novelties, gifts and stationery and has more than 800 company-owned and franchise locations throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Headquartered in Rockaway, N.J., Party City became part of the Amscan Holdings, Inc., family in 2005. The merger has made Party City the largest specialty party retailer and premiere Halloween destination in North America, company officials say.
"We are thrilled we could expand to our new location and continue helping Albany residents celebrate special times," said Viera.

Gills skipper to miss Carlisle trip
The full-back took a kick on his forearm in the 1-1 draw and is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, although boss Mark Stimson is hopeful he will play again this season. Former Derby trainee Chris Palmer is expected to replace Fuller in the starting line-up as the relegation-threatened Gills look to extend their unbeaten run to four League One games. Stimson took the positive approach of starting with a three-pronged attack against Orient, with Rene Howe playing just behind Simeon Jackson and Chris Dickson, and has revealed he will stick with the same formation, but not necessarily the same strikers. Simon King is still unavailable due to an ankle injury.

Im trying to make Laurelwoods NW Free Range Red, its my brothers favorite beer, and he keeps on asking if i can make it for him. It seems like a good excuse to brew so i have been working on a recipe. let me know what you think? the flavor should be more like a ESB, where the hops and malt are really balanced, with a grapefruit undertone and a really clean a crisp finish grain Bill 9.5 lb. American 2 row pale malt 1 lb. Crystal Malt 60L .5 lb. Crystal Malt 120L Single infusion mash at 153 for 1 hour mash out at 165 Boil time 75 mins 1 oz cascade hops 7.4 aa 60 min .75 oz cascade hops 7.4 aa 30 min 1 oz cascade hops 7.4 aa 15 min 1 oz cascade hops 7.4 aa 5 min wyeast liquid british ale 1098 fermented at 65 degrees. estimated OSG 1.058 estimated FSG 1.015 estimated ABV 5.7 IBU 58 SRM 12
That's one of my favorite beers as well and I tried to put together a recipe. It's similar to yours - I've got a pound of Crystal 80L instead of 60 & 120 and half a pound of Carapils just because. I've only got 4 batches under my belt and have only brewed recipes I found online so I haven't tried brewing it yet. There's a video on their website and the brewer describes it as an "American ESB" so I was going to use Safale US-05. Let me know how yours turns out!
So i brewed my clone a couple days ago. heres what i decided to go with. Grain bill 10 pounds american 2 row pale malt 1 pound crystal malt 80l .25 dextrine malt (Just because i had some extra lying around) mashed with 1.3q per lbs at 153 degrees for 70 mins. fly sparged with 4.5 gallons at 170 degree for 45 min. during the sparge my mash got stuck. but i was able to get it going again. boiled for 75 min .75 oz cascade hops 9.1aau 60min 2.5 oz cascade hops 9.1aau 15min 1.5 oz cascade hops 9.1aau 3min 1 oz cascade hops 9.1aau dry hopped i ended up with about 5.5 gallons and a final gravity of 1.052. i was hoping for a little better efficiency but oh well. i can tell you right now that this beer is not nearly red enough to be free range. I had quite the debate over what yeast to use for this beer. i tried to contact wyeast to see what they sold laurelwood but they never got back to me. so i ended up going with northwest ale yeast 1332. I am fermenting this beer in my attic the temp up there is a constant 57 degrees. im hoping that it will produce a beer that is complex and crisp with a mildly tart finish.
How'd this recipe turn out? I haven't been able to go to Portland in a while and really starting to get the hankering for a nice NW red. The Laurelwood Red is by far one of my favorites.
Hi all. I had some correspondence with the brewer back in 2011. In addition I suggest nuggets for bittering and the dry english strain. I can post a suggested recipe if there's interest: Thanks for the kind words. Here's what I can tell you. Crystal malt is 15% of 60L. Hops are Cascade at 15 min and in the whirlpool. We do a 90 min boil here. We also run it through our hop back on the way to the fermenter through more Cascade hops. For a 5 gallon batch your looking at both kettle adds to be about 5 or 6 ounces I'd say. Kettle hops are pellets, hop back is flowers. Probably a lb or so would do it for 5 gallons. No dry hops on this beer.*Our yeast proprietary but I'd suggest an English strain. Keep the fermentation on the cool side.*Good luck and thanks for your interest.*
Yrs I am interested in a recipe /clone got laurelwood's organic red ale. Thanks ! Wayne

By James Slater - WBA heavyweight champion David Haye was an excited ringside observer at last nights thrilling Amir Khan-Marcos Maidana clash in Las Vegas, and The Hayemaker has admitted that the buzz he got from the mini-classic gave him the urge to put on a great fight of his own in Vegas - hopefully against Wladimir Klitschko. It has been reported by The Guardian that Haye and manager Adam Booth met with HBO and Golden Boy over the weekend, and that the unification fight everyone wants to see is as close as its been in quite a while as a result.. The talks must have gone well, because Haye and Booth both spoke about being optimistic the fight will happen in Las Vegas, in April or May of next year. Fingers crossed, well know something pretty soon, Haye said. From our side, were raring to go. Im positive the fight will happen. As Ive said before, I will retire next year, so this fight has to happen. Its a fight the world wants. Its the only fight the Klitschkos can have to cement their legacy. And Haye spoke about where the fight will most likely take place: Where? Wherever it makes the most money, he said. Watching Amir [Khan] here tonight definitely gave me a real buzz. I want some of this. Id love to come out here and fight in a great arena and give everyone value for money. The talks have been very positive. Im confident its going to happen. If Wladimir is as confident as I am, then it will happen. Most fans are of the opinion that Dr. Steel Hammer is certainly as confident of beating Haye as Haye is of defeating him. And although Wladimir would probably have to overcome legal issues if he chose to bypass Derek Chisora in favour of going in with Haye next, money usually talks in this sport (even though Del Boy has insisted he will NOT take step aside money to allow Klitschko to fight someone else). As much as Chicora - who holds a contract signed by Klitschko for a defence against him - deserves his chance, the world wants to see Haye tackle Kitschko a whole lot more than it wants to see the 14-0 novice take his audacious shot. Its not clear where an April or May clash between the two rival heavyweight champs would leave Chisora, but the bottom line is, all concerned want the big fight to take place. If the talks over the weekend did go as well as Haye and Booth suggest they did, we might get to see whether or not the trash-talking Londoner can back up his boasts next spring. Finally!

Jim Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: What Was Jim Cramer Thinking?
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Has Jim Cramer become too bearish on stocks? Has he gotten too negative? Those were the questions he pondered on Mad Money Monday as he recapped the day's merger and acquisition news.
Cramer reminded viewers that every stock has two prices: the one the market gives it and the one other companies are willing to pay to acquire it. Those prices are becoming less in sync, Cramer continued. Tyson Foods (TSN) is now willing to pay $63 a share for Hillshire Brands (HSH), a 70% premium from where the stock traded just a few weeks ago.
When Cramer featured Hillshire as a potential breakup story a few months ago, he valued the company at a mere $40 a share. Today's news made Cramer question Friday's feature on Kraft Foods (KRFT) and the valuations of its many brands, he said.
But it's not just the food stocks. Merck (MRK) announced that it's paying $24.50 for Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX), a stock that traded at a mere $7 a share. Analog Devices (ADI) is paying up big for Hittite Microwave (HITT), another under-the-radar stock. Then there's activist investor Carl Icahn taking a stake in Family Dollar (FDO - Get Report), sending those shares up 13%. Cramer said Family Dollar is far from best-of-breed. But with all this activity, Cramer said it's clear the true valuations of these companies are a lot more than the markets are willing to pay, which means it's time to go back to the drawing board to figure out what they're really worth in today's environment.Executive Decision: Jonathan Bush
For his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Jonathan Bush, chairman, president and CEO of Athenahealth (ATHN - Get Report), the electronic health records company whose stock has become a battleground of late, falling from $204 to $128 a share after activist investor David Einhorn made negative comments about the company. Bush addressed the controversy against Athena by referencing his book, Where Does It Hurt?, which looks in depth at the battle between the new cloud-based software model for health care versus the entrenched enterprise software model. He said the old model shows a lack of enthusiasm and courage, and in a 21st century health care model systems need to be connected and patients need to be able to shop around and easily get their data from place to place.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Latest Milestone has been posted for all but sprint device...it will be up tomorrow! Hope ya like it...
This should be posted on Rootz. I have a feeling this thing could explode! I knew I still lurk around here for a reason.
This has actually been here, xda, and rootz since the beginning lol Thanks all for the love! Suggest the latest update as a precaution as 2.5.1 seemed to cause my phone issues
Would someone want to tell me what they think the best kernel for this rom would be? i want the one that would have the best battery life! Thanks
That's a tough one to answer since most phones act differently to each kernel. Best advice I can give is to try a couple out and do some tweaking and comparing.
Ive heard that either trinity, lean kernel, and Franco's are good. The others could be just as good, I've just not heard anything.! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The same way anyone does. Try them. And determine which you prefer Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Well after a little break, I got an update for everyone! I found a little trick with nova for those that use it...slow the animations down and transitions down and, at least for me, the rom feels much more fluid. Just an FYI Officially Out of all supported devices. Enjoy!

Tomato Questions from Our Readers: Storing and Handling Fresh Tomatoes
by Dana Angelo White in Tomatoes, August 26, 2011To refrigerate or not to refrigerate? When to peel and seed? Proper handling of fresh tomatoes is trickier than it might seem. Our readers asked tomato questions on Facebook and Twitter , here are our recommendations.
Shopping Tips
This is prime time for local produce so get out to your local farmers' market or farm stand where colorful and plump tomatoes are abundant. Choose large tomatoes that are free of bruises and heavy for their size (heavy equals juicy). For smaller cherry tomatoes, look for ones that are brightly colored with tight skins.
Don't look only for perfectly round or red tomatoes. Oddly shaped, bizarre-colored heirloom and other unique varieties are some of the tastiest kinds! Learn more about the various heirloom varieties.
Handling and Storage
Refrigeration can make tomatoes dry, dull tasting and mealy. Instead, store in a cool, dry spot on the counter and try to use within a few days of purchase. Most farm fresh tomatoes will keep on the counter for about a week.
Peeling and Seeding
Recipes that call for cooking down large tomatoes (like sauces and salsas) often require removal of peels and seeds. This is sometimes recommended to improve texture, reduce excess liquid, or cut down on any bitter flavor that the seeds may have. Though it isn't always needed – this recipe for roasted tomato sauce uses the entire tomato – it's smooth and silky without a hint of unpleasant bitterness.
Recipes that do warrant peeling and seeding often don't give easy to follow directions so here are step-by-step instructions:
Using a sharp knife, cut a shallow "x" mark onto the bottom of each tomato; drop into a pot of boiling water for 15 to 30 seconds or until skins begin to loosen. Place directly into a bowl of ice water. Use a paring knife to peel skin away. Cut in half and gently squeeze to remove seeds.
Watch Alex Guarnaschelli go through the steps in this video.
If you only need to seed and not peel, simply cut raw tomatoes in half and gently use a spoon or clean fingers to scoop out the seeds.

Health Literacy in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
Recruitment status was Active, not recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The primary aim of this project is to test the efficacy of an inpatient congestive heart failure (CHF) educational intervention compared with usual care among inpatients at Griffin Hospital, who are largely drawn from the population of the Naugatuck Valley in Connecticut.
The educational intervention will utilize:
- written educational materials suitable for patients with low health literacy - alternatives to written materials (e.g., video- and audiotapes) that may more effectively communicate health information to elderly patients and those with low health literacy
- a one-on-one educational session with a nurse patient educator. The educational session will use as its framework guidelines provided by the America Medical Association (AMA) to improve communication between healthcare providers and low health literacy patients. The investigators hypothesize that CHF patients who receive this educational intervention will have fewer hospital readmissions or deaths than the usual care group. The investigators further hypothesize that patients with low health literacy will derive more benefit from the intervention than patients with higher literacy.
The secondary aims of the project are to:
- assess whether patients in the education and usual care groups differ on post-discharge CHF knowledge and on satisfaction with hospital care. Compared with usual care, the investigators hypothesize that CHF patients who receive the educational intervention will have better knowledge of CHF and will be more satisfied with the care they received in the hospital.
The potential impact of the proposed project may be to increase disease knowledge and health literacy, and improve adherence to CHF treatments. This, in turn, may contribute to improved medical outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions for CHF patients. In addition, if this preliminary study provides evidence of a promising educational intervention suitable for patients with low health literacy, th investigators will endeavor to test the intervention in ethnically diverse populations throughout Connecticut.

Show Detailed Description
Ages Eligible for Study: | 50 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Eligible consecutive patients aged 50 years and over admitted with a primary diagnosis of CHF at Griffin Hospital will be invited to participate regardless of age, gender, race, or education level.
- Because dietary and medication non-compliance affect patients with both systolic and diastolic heart failure, the investigators will include patients with both of these conditions, regardless of their ejection fraction.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The investigators will exclude patients with clinical conditions and communication barriers that would limit their ability to participate in and/or benefit from this educational intervention.
- The investigators will also exclude patients whose planned discharge is to another hospital or to a structured setting in which medical personnel are responsible for their care (e.g., a skilled nursing facility), thus limiting their ability to implement a largely self-directed self-care regimen upon leaving the hospital.
- In addition, the investigators will exclude any patient who does not have a telephone and cannot, therefore, be contacted to obtain post-discharge follow-up data.

You are so so sweet! These building pieces take ages to do and I honestly felt totally burnt out after this one. Plus I kinda thought maybe people were getting sick of them. So I'm doing a pelican for my mother next, and then will do another of these. Your support means so much to me. Seriously. Thank you!
Lots and lots of little lines. But to be truthful, I do color it digitally. 'Cause I have trouble making up my mind about the colors. Hope that doesn't make you like it less! : )
Yeah, I'm thinking this might be one of the most photographed streets ever! But how can you not? It's so gorgeous. So don't compare your photo to my drawing too closely. . . I took some liberties. . . : )

PENDER COUNTY -- Police say a local man is very lucky to be alive tonight after a vehicle chase and crash.
UNCW Police say 24-year-old Gary Henderson Jr. stole a landscaping truck from the university this morning.
A Pender County deputy spotted Henderson driving the truck and tried to pull him over, but Henderson took off.
Investigators say he ran a red light at Sloop's Point Road and Highway 17 and smashed into a guardrail, sending the truck catapulting some 80 feet.
Campus police say this is a first for them.
Capt. Gunnar Matthews said, "This is a first, we've never had a university vehicle, or a vehicle owned by the university stolen that I know of."
Henderson was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. He will be charged by campus police for felony larceny of a motor vehicle.
Henderson will likely face charges by Pender County deputies for leading them on a chase.

By Sevak Sarkisian: On July 14th the super gifted Nonito Donaire will be stepping into the ring with former two time super flyweight champion Christian Mijares. Nonito just won the vacant WBO super bantamweight world title this past February against Wilfredo Vazquez junior. Vazquez fought a smart fight and used his skills and defense. It was Donaires first time fighting at super bantamweight and it was clear he doesnt operate as efficiently as he does at the lower weight divisions even though he managed to squeak out a split decision win. Donaire has now gone through two fights in a row looking ordinary. However to his credit he was in the ring with high caliber world class opponents that are difficult to look good against. His promoters know he has to look dominant and produce some sort of excitement his next time out and that is specifically the reason why Cristian Mijares was chosen as his opponent for his next fight. Mijares is a good fighter with decent boxing skills and an awesome jab. However, his best work has been done at super flyweight and he lacks power in his punches. The chances of him hurting Donaire are minimal considering the fact that he only has 20 knockouts in 44 fights. His ring general ship should help him make this a somewhat competitive fight but in my humble opinion Donaire being a title holder at super bantamweight should be defending his title against an opponent with more credentials and accomplishments at super bantamweight such as WBC super-bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka. But instead he will be fighting Mijares, a fighter who belongs two weight classes below and has been knocked out by Vic Darchinyan at super flyweight. If Donaire was planning on defending his super bantamweight title against a super flyweight why didnt he just stay at super flyweight?

Last year, I had to have my kitchen gutted down to the studs and rebuilt. Initially I thought I could get away with simply replacing a few broken items, like the 20-year old oven and a window sill that was built incorrectly, but as we peeled back the layers of the room (a raised subfloor built on the cheap, a dropped ceiling that made a small room more cramped, a door frame so narrow no appliance could get through it), it was clear that only a complete overhaul would solve even the most basic problems.
It took months. It cost a lot. And it wasn't fun. No home remodel or redecorating project ever goes smoothly, but I know it could have been a lot worse had I not approached the whole thing with a sense of organization from the get-go. I used a variety of different apps and services along the way, some for my own planning purposes and some to help the contractor understand our space better before he even set foot in our home. The payoff was well worthwhile, as I have now have a kitchen that's much more useable, spacious, and pleasing to the eye. Here are some of the tools I used throughout the ordeal.

What happens to your premiums?
Devastating tornadoes, floods, and a busier than usual hurricane season have U.S. insurance companies bracing for record losses in 2011.
These record losses could mean higher premiums for you.
According to risk assessors... insurance agencies are set to lose as much as 10 billion dollars from weather-related losses in 2011.
That's up from an average of 2 to 4 billion dollars.
KFXK spoke with local insurance agents who say there's a cause and effect relationship between higher claims and higher premiums.
Insurers claim part of your payment is already allocated to disasters to your home or car.
Net losses for insurance companies can have a ripple effect in finance.
Financial analysts say insurance stocks have brought down the stock market because of investor worries about catastrophic losses like the one's we've seen recently in Missouri and Oklahoma... as well as the tornado that tore through East Texas.
Already more than 1,100 tornadoes have occurred in the U.S. this year.
And with the national weather service warning of more...
the increase in spring storms have insurers preparing for the worst.

Ticks and chiggers have been killing me the last few years, and they're worst this year than ever. Below is a picture of a tick bite on my leg and just a couple of inches away is nice chigger bite to go with it. This is something I wouldn't want to have to deal with if SHTF and could easy lead to a serious infection out in the sticks. The chiggers and sand fleas can be even worse. I've had both feet literally covered in bites like this. I generally use Cutter to keep them at bay but that would eventually run out if SHTF. So I was wondering if anyone knew about any good natural repellents.? Mud can help as a last resort but it's not exactly ideal. Any other ideas?

Va. Tech President Defends Himself
Published: 8/30/07, 8:27 PM EDT
By HANK KURZ JR. and VICKI SMITH
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - With anguished parents demanding his firing, Virginia Tech's president bristled at suggestions Thursday that he bears responsibility for the bloodbath on campus, calling it a crime "unprecedented in its cunning and murderous results."
At a news conference where he was grilled about an independent panel's conclusion that lives could have been saved had the school warned the campus sooner that a killer was on the loose, Charles Steger suggested there may have been nothing anyone could have done to stop the April 16 rampage by gunman Seung-Hui Cho that left 33 people dead.
"No plausible scenario was made for how this horror could have been prevented once he began that morning," Steger said.
Read the full story here:
"'No plausible scenario was made for how this horror could have been prevented once he began that morning,' Steger said."
I know of at least one, don't all of you?
My wife just pointed out this gem to me:
"At the time, however, only two administrators had the ability to send campuswide e-mail, and the message first had to be formulated by the Policy Group, a body that includes nine vice presidents and several vice provosts and is chaired by Steger. It took a half-hour just to assemble the group."

I can't seem to find my "Liked from Radio" playlist. I've thumbed up a bunch of songs from radio but can't seem to find it no matter what.
EDIT: I fixed the problem. I went into my Android app, started radio and liked a song. It created the playlist from my phone and now when I like songs on my desktop it will add it to the playlist as well.
Basically, if it's not showing up for you, go to your mobile app and like a song and it might work on your desktop.
Bug ?
Can anyone tell me, when you thumbs down a track, does that mean you are saying you don't like OR you don't like it in THAT playlist?

I can't find my Thumbs UP songs.
My phone is a windows 7 and I do not use it for apps.
I only use desktop with xp.
Can anyone tell me where to find all these songs that I keep saying thumbs up to?
Spotify for Windows Phone 7 does not support radio, so problem maybe here. However you should see a playlist with liked tracks.
No, it totally sucks.
I just signed up last night and spend quite a few hours liking songs thinking it would be easy to find them and put them in my playlist.
I only have two play lists:
DUTCH ( I created)
Windows Media Center.
We are very happy about the great selection of songs from Holland, but this LIKE button totally sucks if I can't retrieve them.

" Yamaha YHT-298 - Stylish Home Cinema System with HTR-3065 AV Receiver 5.1ch Speaker Package (NS-P20) "
Your dooyooMiles Miles
The Yamaha YHT-298 is a powerful and stylish 5.1 surround system. The AV receiver ensures that action movies with loud dynamic soundtracks will be heard in spectacularly realistic surround sound. The front surround and center speakers are high quality models capable of reproducing high definition audio and the subwoofer uses Yamaha's exclusive Advanced YST technology to deliver clean crisply powerful bass. Rounded corners give the speakers a stylish appearance. The receiver is capable of decoding the latest HD audio formats which can be enjoyed together with CINEMA DSP surround sound programs for natural and expansive sound imaging. Compatible with HD audio sources the YHT-298 speakers deliver superb music and movie sound. The speakers are tuned to provide a clear soft sound that is pleasant to listen to for long periods. YHT-298 features Yamaha's exclusive Advanced Active Servo Technology (Advanced YST) that generates incredible bass from small speaker enclosures. Advanced YST is the ideal method of combining amplifiers and speakers for maximum performance. This system's advanced negative impedance converter intelligently adjust the negative impedance generation as the speaker moves creating a hard rigid cone that prevents deep resonant waves from leaking out of the speaker cone. This means the full power of the waves is forced out through the air port resulting in clear powerful bass. Four HDMI terminals provide convenient one-cable connection of various HD digital sources. HDMI also offers two special features: 3D for 3D video signals and Audio Return Channel. A USB port on the front panel provides convenient connection for your iPod/iPhone which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone is transmitted directly to the AV Receiver noise interference is minimized and sound quality is much better. The YHT-298 uses Yamaha's YPAO system that quickly and automatically analyzes the acoustics of the room and adjusts various speaker parameters to provide the optimum sound at the listening position. It's like having a professional audio engineer set up and tweak your system.

Miami Beach Police Union President: Banning Cops From Nightclub Work a "PR Stunt"
Around 4:30 a.m. Monday police were called about an extremely drunk man outside Mango's Tropical Cafe, the famous jungle-themed Ocean Drive club. The drunk turned out to be Sergeant Mike Muley, a uniformed Miami Beach police officer who was working off-duty security. The embarrassing arrest sparked the first real reform from new MBPD Chief Dan Oates, who promptly banned officers from off-duty nightclub work.
But don't expect the change to go over easily. The head of MBPD's union tells Riptide they plan to fight. "This is an overreaction and a PR stunt," Sgt. Alex Bello says.
See also: Miami Beach Cop Involved in Infamous ATV Incident Relieved of Duty for Being Drunk on Job
Bello says the off-duty, uniformed police officers' presence outside the clubs -- a form of off-duty work he estimates has been allowed for at least 25 to 30 years -- is instrumental in deterring incidents. Once the officers are removed next month, he predicts residents will notice more late-night issues, and that on-duty city cops will end up overextended from more calls to nightlife hotspots.
"No doubt," Bello said, "if you have 14 less officers on a Friday, Saturday night, you're going to see it and you're going to feel it."
Of course, there's another reason the union adamantly opposes the change: Officers can make serious cash with the off-duty jobs.
In 2010 a Miami New Times investigation found that more than half of Miami Beach's non-executive officers had earned six figures in the previous year, often from lucrative overtime and off-duty assignments. The Miami Herald reported this week that clubs like Mango's, Mansion, and Story pay the officers $45 an hour, $10 of which goes to the city.
But Bello said he estimates there are only 30 or so Miami Beach officers, out of a force of nearly 300 patrol officers, who typically work the off-duty nightclub shifts, and that the assignments weren't all that lucrative for the officers. Oates' decision to stop the assignments, he said, amounted to grandstanding.

To qualify for a patient assistance program you'll have to prove your need, but it's certainly worth the effort if you're in a situation where you can't afford the prescription drugs that you depend on.

510,000 attend Hong Kong pro-democracy march: organisers
Published on Jul 1, 2014 11:48 PM
HONG KONG (AFP) - More than half a million protesters took part in a pro-democracy march in rain-soaked Hong Kong Tuesday, organisers said, a record turnout believed to be the largest since the city was handed back to China.
"This year people came out braving the rain and wind and many citizens joined along the way," Johnson Yeung, a rally organiser, told a cheering crowd in the city's Central business district late Tuesday.
"According to conservative estimates, 510,000 people attended the march."
The scale of the turnout reflects surging discontent over Beijing's insistence that it vet candidates before a vote in 2017 for the semi-autonomous city's next leader.

Selena Gomez Is Taking On A More Grown-Up Role For Her Next Film [AUDIO]
There is big breaking news in the world of one of your favorite stars. Selena Gomez, who cut her teeth as a Disney Princess is going to be stepping away from her wholesome image. She has just taken a role in "Spring Breakers" alongside James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts.
Selena Gomez Can't Stop Dancing In 'Hit The Lights'
Don't let the film's name fool you. It's a dark tale about a group of college girls, who rob a restaurant to pay for a vacation and end up in a world of trouble. Selena is really excited that the role is quite raw and very different than what fans are used to seeing.
Congrats to her and we can't wait to see a grown-up Selena do her thing!

Cracking down on employers who ignore wage laws
State officials crack down on a wider array of businesses - especially those in service sector.
This week Ansoumana Faty, a former grocery deliveryman in New York City, will pick up a paycheck for $7,000. Meanwhile, in upstate New York, the waiters and waitresses at the New Delhi Diamond's Restaurant in Ithaca will share a cash payout of $10,000.
They are among hundreds of people in New York who are getting reimbursed back wages and unpaid overtime as a result of recent legal settlements. Many of the employees were paid as little as $2 an hour, in jobs they worked for 10 to 12 hours a day.
Across the country, a growing number of states, advocacy groups - and even individual workers - are fighting back against wage abuses in the workplace.
From New York to California, several state attorneys general are targeting violations of state and federal minimum-wage and overtime laws. One reason: State authorities believe the infractions are growing as the economy becomes more service-oriented - and are showing up in new industries.
"Historically, when people thought of minimum-wage violations, they thought of sweatshops and informal workplaces at the margins of the economy - the underground economy," says Annette Bernhardt, a senior policy analyst at the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. "But increasingly, we're seeing violations in very formal workplaces - in retail, in grocery stores, in industrial laundries and nursing homes."
In New York City alone, researchers have identified 14 types of businesses - from maintenance contractors to the hotel industry - where minimum-wage and overtime laws have been routinely violated. In Florida, a survey of contract construction workers found that 27 percent who worked overtime didn't get paid time-and-a-half for it. And in Fairfax, Va., interviews with day laborers at four sites found that 54 percent were paid less than agreed - and at one time or another, 53 percent received no pay at all.

Twice now when I go to start my truck the starter clicks like the battery is dead. Then, when I release the key from the crank position immediately the wipers come on,the gauges flip to pointing down, and the heater control panel goes to default. While this is happening it will crank if I turn the key but not start and wipers continue to run. One time I jiggled the battery cables and all was well. I changed the cable ends, thinking it was a ground issue. This morning it did the same thing immediately after starting. I backed out of the drive and after about 10 seconds the wipers started, engine stalled. After about 30 seconds the wipers stopped and it restarted with no intervention on my part,(battery cable wiggling etc.). Ran fine the rest of the day. Showed about 13 volts on the gauge and started 4 more times with no issue. Battery is less than 12 months old and holds a good charge. Theories??

I love this! Would it be possible to make it available as a hoodie, perhaps just with the words "Molar Bear" printed subtly underneath? I know theres a different version available for clothing purchase, but i prefer the simplicity of this one.
maybe you should offer it as a t-shirt? http://imgur.com/jKTzIE0
I love that "Molar Bear"!!! Of course I am in dentistry. "Fighting Against Enamel Cruelty" You need to market that on all the dental websites!
Is that caption available on all of the Molar Bear products? Or is only available on the prints? I would love it on the t-shirts, mugs, and totes.

It appears that Rupert Murdoch's lobbying against proposals to ease Australia's media cross-ownership rules have been heeded. The government minister responsible, Helen Coonan, has conceded that most of her media reforms package will be delayed indefinitely. That change of heart came about following a meeting between the prime minister, John Howard, and Murdoch. Soon after Howard announced that his government would not waste a "an enormous amount of time or political capital" to get the media reforms passed. And so it has come to pass. (Via smh.au)
