Upstate Housing Fund May Wait For Next Budget
Jun 16th - 2:00 pm
Posted by Nick Reisman in Upstate NY
A fund aimed at establishing more affordable housing in the upstate region may have to wait for next year's budget, Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle said in an interview on Tuesday.
"We've had a lot of talk about it. Whether or not it gets through the process, I don't know. It requires more dollars," Morelle said. "Since we're not doing the budget now, it's a little harder to do."
The $150 million fund came up as lawmakers in the Senate and Assembly discuss the fate of rent control regulations for New York City and the surrounding area as well as the 421a tax abatement, which Mayor Bill de Blasio is pushing for an expansion of affordable housing.
Both rent control and the abatement lapsed at midnight, and lawmakers at the Capitol on Tuesday continued to negotiate both measures.
Even if the upstate housing fund falls out of the end-of-session talks and waits for the next fiscal year, Morelle said the issue of upstate housing is on the radar.
"But it's something that a lot of the members upstate, myself included, a very interested in," he said. "So whether it happens now or it happens in the budget, I think there's a much greater focus on the needs of upstate housing."
Lawmakers are due to leave the Capitol for the rest of the year on Wednesday, though Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he will keep lawmakers in Albany should an agreement not be reached on rent control.
It's unclear how long the session may extend into the rest of the week, Morelle said.
"We're going to stay here as long as need to resolve these issues, but I feel confident we're going to get it done by the end of the week," he said.
Western New York Conservatives Angered Over Flanagan Selection
May 11th - 11:30 pm
Posted by Casey Bortnick in Buffalo
Despite the fact the newly minted Senate Majority Leader's son goes to the University at Buffalo, John Flanagan hasn't exactly gotten a warm reaction from Western New York so far. Senate Democrats, as you would expect, are less than enthused about the choice, while Conservatives are downright livid.
"Nothing good is going to happen for Upstate New York with this change," said Buffalo-Area State Assemblyman David DiPietro.
DiPietro, a gun rights advocate, said Flanagan's vote in favor of the SAFE Act alone should have disqualified him as a candidate for Senate Majority Leader.
"Totally upset that we're going to get no movement from our own Republican Senate because the leader is pro-SAFE Act," DiPiertro said.
The member of the Assembly with the most conservative voting record, Rochester-area Assemblyman Bill Nojay directed his ire at the reported five Upstate GOP Senators who voted for Flanagan over Syracuse-Area Senator John De Francisco. Nojay took to Twitter to vent his frustrations.
"Q (question) for the 5 Upstate GOPers who voted for Flanagan: what price to sell your soul? Biggest winner today in Senate: Andrew Cuomo. He got a RINO he can control. Biggest loser: Upstate NY, which is now politically irrelevant," Nojay wrote.
The vote for Senate Majority Leader happened behind closed doors but most Western New York Republicans told us they supported DeFrancisco, including Michael Ranzenhofer, Rich Funke, Robert Ortt and Joe Robach.
Ranzenhofer confirmed the SAFE Act was a part of the closed door conversation. Ortt, an Afghanistan War Veteran and consistent advocate for repealing the controversial gun control measure, seemed optimistic Flanagan will move to the right on the issue.
"I think Senator Flanagan knows he's going to have to work toward that (repealing the SAFE Act) to be successful as a leader and I think he's going to do that and I'm willing to work with him on that issue," said Ortt.
"John Flanagan voted for the SAFE Act. The people from his district knew it and voted to send him back to Albany. I think he respects the Second Amendment. I don't see it as an issue," Robach added.
Watching from outside the GOP conference, Senate Democrats in WNY saw the move as a lifeline for Skelos to hold on to some kind of power. Buffalo-Area Senator Marc Panepinto even suggested Skelos "extorted" his own conference.
"Dean Skelos threatened his colleagues on Friday and said if you don't do John Flanagan I may resign my seat and that may put the leadership up for grabs," Panepinto said.
Still, it's the way Flanagan ascended to Majority Leader that bothers conservatives as much as the fact he's there. Several sources suggest it was two Upstate New Yorkers who sided with the "Long Island Nine" to tip the scales in Flanagan's favor.
"It was Cathy Young and Mike Nozzolio who sold us out," said Former GOP Gubernatorial Candidate and outspoken Skelos critic Carl Paladino. "The votes are here (Upstate) and this is where the Majority Leader should come from."
Senator Young did not reveal how she voted behind closed doors. In a statement Monday night she would only say:
"Every single member of the Republican Conference united behind Senator John Flanagan to ensure balance in state government and safeguard the future of the state."
Senator Mike Nozzoilo's office said he was not available for comment Monday night.
"Senator's Young and Nozzolio sold their soul," DiPietro said. "If one of them would have voted against him (Flanagan) we could have had a different leader. I'll tell you up here in the Assembly right now we're just beside ourselves. We feel like we've been sold down the river," DiPietro added.
Strength In Numbers
Mar 5th - 1:27 pm
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Assembly
ICYMI from the Morning Memo today:
Upstate Democrats' numbers have been steadily increasing in the Assembly majority conference, but they remain outnumbered by the downstate members, who continue to control much of the agenda in the Legislature's lower house.
Case in point: The downstaters and Democratic party leaders in the five boroughs recently used their clout to select a new speaker, Carl Heastie, who hails from the Bronx, over Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle, a Rochester Democrat.
A handful of upstate members have realized they're likely to have better luck at seeing results on their priorities, which often differ from those of their more liberal downstate counterparts, if they band together – much like the black and Latino members have done by creating their own caucus.
Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi, a Utica Democrat, says a small group of upstaters – maybe five or six who hail mostly from urban areas – started meeting last year to strategize about education funding.
This year, Brindisi said, the number has grown to about 15 or so members from several regions – including the Upper Hudson Valley, Capital District and Buffalo – who have met several times so far to discuss a wide range of topics. They're currently holding their meetings in the office of Central NY Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli.
Brindisi was reluctant to call this loose coalition a formal "delegation," noting the formation of such a group was frowned upon under the former speaker.
"Any time you had large groups of member meeting, it certainly was cause for concern," Brindisi recalled. "We lost out on certain things because of that."
But the new speaker, Carl Heastie, doesn't seem to have a problem with the idea of Democratic conference members forming special interest groups.
In fact, several of these coalitions formed during the brief but intense fight for the speakership after Assemblyman Sheldon Silver's corruption scandal cost him the post, and Heastie even met with some of them. (The newer members, the so-called "reform" caucus, etc.)
Brindisi said the upstaters have broadened their focus to include transit – "something we all agree could use more funding" – and addressing the needs of immigrant/refugee populations that have popped up in certain urban centers.
"We don't want this to look like a downstate versus upstate effort; it's not," the assemblyman said. "It's just that we have common issues – particularly in our urban areas – and we realized that when we work on the budget, it's helpful for members to work together and advocate as one voice."
Florida Surpasses New York In Population, Officially
Dec 23rd - 10:46 am
Posted by Nick Reisman in Upstate NY
Blame it on the taxes or blame it on the sunshine, but Florida has officially surpassed New York has the nation's third most populous state, according to newly released Census data.
The move for Florida is not a surprise given its surging population over the last several decades, but its displacement of New York among the top three most populated states will no doubt give business groups renewed ammunition when it comes to the state's tax and regulatory climate.
On the flip side, the trend of New Yorkers and residents of the northeast in general,is seen as inevitable by some after air conditioning came in to widespread usage, especially in the south.
U.S. Census data posted on Tuesday shows Florida leads New York by 147,070 people, with a total population of 19,893,297.
New York's population, which has grown .26 percent, now stands at 19,746,227.
Florida is now behind the nation's two largest states, California (38.8 million people) and Texas (26.9 million people).
Plan 2014 Coalition Pushes New Shoreline Regulations
Dec 22nd - 2:22 pm
Posted by Nick Reisman in Upstate NY
From the Morning Memo:
The coalition of environmental advocates and elected officials that back changes to Lake Ontario shoreline regulations will reiterate their support for "Plan 2014″ in a news release later today.
The proposal, being billed as an update to the existing regulations, is aimed at managing the water levels on the great lake.
Supporters say that shifting to the new regulations will provide for a more natural water level and boost hydropower, but is opposed by elected officials who represent the southern shore of the lake.
The regulations must still be approved by the federal government, now under review by the Department of State.
Today the plan is getting a boost from Buffalo Democratic Rep. Brian Higgins.
"The Great Lakes represent one of our greatest natural resources providing extensive environmental benefits and economic opportunities," said Higgins who is a member of the Congressional Great Lakes Task Force. "Plan 2014 builds on existing efforts to restore, protect and enhance Great Lakes water and the communities that surround them."
The proposal also has the backing of two North Country officials: Democratic Rep. Bill Owens and the Republican who is replacing him in Congress, Elise Stefanik.
"Plan 2014 is a pragmatic solution for the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario," Owens said. "It balances the environment and the economy, and is based in hard science. It's time to implement Plan 2014 and prevent the irreparable damage that will occur if we don't act."
The Plan 2014 campaign is primarily being organized by the Nature Conservancy in favor of the new regulations.
The move is opposed by Republican Rep. Chris Collins, who believes the new water levels will harm residents who live Orleans, Wayne and Niagara counties, with concerns centering around damaging shorelines and existing fortifications.
Cuomo Seeks Federal Disaster Declaration for 9 WNY Counties
Dec 11th - 1:26 pm
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Andrew Cuomo
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced today that he is asking the Obama administration to issue a major disaster declaration for nine Western New York counties that sustained significant damage during last month's snowstorm and subsequent flooding.
The counties – Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Orleans, St. Lawrence and Wyoming – together had more than $46.6 million in response costs and infrastructure damage verified as a result of the storm that rocked the region from Nov. 18-26, dumping just over seven feet of snow in some areas.
According to the governor, the highest snow accumulation of 88 inches was reported in Cowlesville, Wyoming County. Several locations in Erie County exceeded 50 inches, with Cheektowaga recording 65 inches of snow and Hamburg recording 79.8 inches. Snow fall rates from this storm were as much as six inches per hour in the Buffalo area.
Cuomo noted that a disaster declaration is the next step toward getting financial assistance from the federal government, which requires a $27.3 million damage threshold to qualify for aid.
"Once again, extreme weather came to New York and once again New Yorkers came together to help our neighbors in their time of need," Cuomo said in a press release, (issued smack in the middle of the regional economic development council awards ceremony).
"The state, working with communities from every corner of New York, mobilized an unprecedented response to the storm that struck Western New York and the North County. As we continue the recovery process, federal assistance is critical to helping these communities and their residents move beyond this storm and prepare for the rest of the upcoming winter season."
The governor said that a total of 14 fatalities and six injuries were attributed to the storm, and more than 370 roofs were damaged and 38 structures completely destroyed due to the weight of the considerable snow accumulation. In rural communities, barn collapses killed and injured livestock, including cattle and horses, and dairy farmers were forced to dump more than 250,000 pounds of milk.
Damages to the agricultural industry alone are estimated at more than $15 million, Cuomo said.
The governor requested technical assistance in the form of a joint State-FEMA Preliminary Damage Assessment, which was initiated Dec. 1. The results of that assessment validated state and county expenditures on storm response and recovery. In the wake of the storm, Cuomo said a number of smaller communities wiped out their entire snow removal budgets for the year just responding to this single event.
Additionally, Cuomo said he has requested a Physical Disaster Declaration from the Small Business Administration for low interest loans. Eligible applicants could receive homeowner physical disaster home loans (homeowners and renters), physical disaster business loans (businesses and non-profits), and economic injury business loans for small businesses.
Wiesner, Again, Facing Bid Rigging Indictment from Grand Jury
Nov 14th - 2:50 pm
Posted by Dan Clark in Eric Schneiderman
Robert Wiesner, husband of Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, has once again been indicted on bid rigging charges relating to the county's local development corporations.
Wiesner was one of four men indicted last fall on a 25 count indictment including charges for bid rigging and money laundering involving Upstate Telecommunications Corporation.
One charge was eventually dropped against Wiesner in August of this year, but the judge said at the time he would allow prosecutors to present evidence to a new grand jury on another charge.
Wiesner's attorney, James Nobles, had argued to have both charges dropped because Wiesner did not have the chance to testify before the first grand jury.
But in a written decision, the judge said the charge relating to bid-rigging can go back to a grand jury.
That brings us to today.
Wiesner is again facing bid-rigging charges related to a multi-hundred million dollar county project to upgrade certain emergency communication systems.
According to the Attorney General's office, the indictment reads:
The Grand Jury of the County of Monroe, by this Indictment, accuses the defendant of the crime of COMBINATION IN RESTRAINT OF TRADE AND COMPETITION, in violation of General Business Law Sections 340 and 341, committed as follows:
The defendant, from in or around March 2008 to in or around October 2013, in the County of Monroe, acting in concert with others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, knowingly and intentionally entered into and engaged in and continued to engage in a contract, agreement, arrangement, and combination in unreasonable restraint of combination and the free exercise of activity in the conduct of business, trade, and commerce, specifically, to restrain competition in the bidding process of Monroe County for the Public Safety Contract, by means of bid rigging.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman released a statement today on the indictment, saying:
"I welcome the grand jury's decision to re-indict Robert Wiesner on a felony charge stemming from the joint investigation my office conducted with Comptroller DiNapoli into allegations of bid rigging in Monroe County. We look forward to bringing this matter to trial."
Pressuring Cuomo on Panepinto
Sep 24th - 5:00 pm
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Andrew Cuomo
Western New York Democrats today presented an unusually united front in support of Marc Panepinto, the Democratic candidate in the four-way race for the seat currently occupied by Republican Sen. Mark Grisanti.
Though they were on opposite sides of the Sept. 9 primary battle between Sen. Tim Kennedy and Erie County Legislator Betty Jean Grant, and also divided over a subsequent fight for the county Democratic Party chairmanship, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, Rep. Brian Higgins, and Kennedy have all lined up behind Panepinto, who, thanks to Grisanti's loss in the GOP primary to Kevin Stocker, has become a top priority for the Senate Democrats as they look to take control of the chamber.
The WNY Democrats announced their support of Panepinto at a "unity" rally that took place at his campaign headquarters. In a statement released by Panepinto's campaign, Poloncarz called the candidate "a friend", while Brown, who once held the Senate set Panepinto is now seeking, said he is "the type of person we need more of in Albany."
Higgins called Panepinto "issued-oriented" and some who "sees problems and isn't afraid to work to fix them." Kennedy said his fellow Democrat "is the partner I need in the state Senate to continue the tremendous progress and momentum we have seen in Buffalo and Western New York."
The fact that these Democrats were able to get on the same page about something is news. But there's also an added twist: These endorsements send a clear message to the most powerful Democrat in the state – Gov. Andrew Cuomo – that the party is uniting behind Panepinto, and he should, too.
Cuomo, as you'll recall, has not ruled out the possibility of endorsing Grisanti – the last member of the quartet of Republicans who voted "yes" on same-sex marriage who is still in the Senate. But endorsing Grisanti would jeopardize Cuomo's pledge as part of the WFP endorsement deal to support a Democratic takeover of the chamber.
Also present at today's unity rally was Bill Samuels, the Democratic activist who has been pressuring Cuomo on a number of fronts – especially when it comes to making good on his promise to help his fellow Democrats take the Senate majority. Samuels said it would be "political malpractice" for Cuomo and his running mate, former WNY Rep. Kathy Hochul, not to endorse Panepinto.
"If Cuomo and Hochul don't endorse Panepinto, Senate Democrats will lose the chance to enact real campaign finance reform, a real minimum wage, and a real DREAM Act," Samuels said. "They need to honor their commitment to Senate Democrats and to the progressive agenda they claim to support. They should do everything in their power to help Panepinto win and to help Senate Democrats win in November."
"…Cuomo and Hochul should not cynically use Grisanti's vote in favor of marriage equality as a way to keep Republicans in control. They should immediately endorse Panepinto. If they are real Democrats, they will deliver for Panepinto," Samuels continued.
"Had Cuomo made an effort in 2010 to put Senate Democrats back in power, marriage equality could have passed the state Senate without Grisanti's support. Grisanti voted the right way on marriage equality and deserves praise for his vote, but his vote doesn't give Cuomo the right to break a pledge to help Democrats regain control of the State Senate this year."
Samuels recently called on Cuomo to transfer $10 million from his overflowing campaign coffers to the Senate Democrats' to help fund their political efforts this fall. Part of the WFP endorsement deal reportedly included creation of a $10 million fund to bolster the DSCC's meager funds. Though NYC Nayor Bill de Blasio, who brokered the agreement between the labor-backed party and Cuomo, is helping raise money for the Senate Democrats, Cuomo has yet to do so.
Dem Meddles In GOP SD-60 Primary (Updated)
Sep 8th - 9:39 am
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Ads
Also from today's Morning Memo:
Democratic state Senate candidate Marc Panepinto apparently has a strong preference as to which Republican he'll face in the November general election should he triumph in his own primary battle tomorrow.
Panepinto feels so strongly, in fact, that he's willing to spend some of his own campaign cash – not to boost his candidacy – but in an attempt to influence the outcome of the GOP Senate primary in which Sen. Mark Grisanti faces a second challenge from Kenmore attorney Kevin Stocker.
(Grisanti defeated Stocker, 60-40, in the 2012 primary after his controversial "yes" vote on same-sex marriage. He is now the only one of four GOP senators who voted "yes" still in the chamber).
A TV ad that recently started running on WNY airways (including TWC Cable News) casts Grisanti as a party-flipping moderate who can't be trusted.
Here's the script:
"Mark Grisanti was a Democrat, until he wasn't. Grisanti opposed restrictions on the Second Amendment, until he didn't. Grisanti supported restricting special interest money, until he took it. Grisanti claims he stood with the community, until he chose to defend a West Side drug kingpin against the community. Mark Grisanti, you just can't trust him."
A tiny disclaimer that appears at the bottom of the screen just as the ad is ending reveals it was paid for by Panepinto's campaign.
Attempts to reach a Panepinto spokesperson by phone and email last night were unsuccessful. UPDATE: Panepinto's campaign today sent me a statement that insisted the ad(s?) have "nothing to do with the Republican primary, adding:
"Looking ahead to the general election, the fact is Mark Grisanti can't be trusted and puts his needs ahead of those of the constituents of the 60th Senate District. On the other hand, Marc Panepinto has stood with the same party and consistently fought for working and middle class families for his entire life. Voters in the 60th Senate District are fed up with elected officials whose values, platform and party affiliation change each election cycle and that is why Mark Grisanti is wrong for this district and Western New York."
This highly unusual approach by Panepinto is part of what appears to be an organized campaign by key Democrats and their allies to meddle in the GOP primary.
The Buffalo News recently reported that the political arm of NYSUT, which has endorsed Panepinto in his primary battle with former Buffalo Councilman and state Senator Al Coppola, has been running attack ads and sending out mailers that depict Grisanti as not sufficiently conservative to represent the 60th Senate District.
The left-leaning statewide teachers union is not generally viewed as a protector of conservative values.
Insiders believe the union is hoping to soften up Grisanti to enable a victory by Stocker, whom NYSUT apparently assumes would be easier for its candidate, Panepinto, to beat in November.
Stocker told the Buffalo News he has nothing to do with NYSUT's anti-Grisanti campaign, and believes he'll defeat both the senator (in tomorrow's primary) and Panepinto (in November, assuming he wins tomorrow's primary) on his own steam.
Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Stocker has irked local GOP leaders with his write-in campaign for the ultra-liberal Working Families Party line. The WFP has endorsed Panepinto.
The local party officials and the Senate GOP are supporting Grisanti's re-election – a key win if the Republicans want to take back the majority.
A Buffalo Democratic insider suggested the nexus between the Panepinto and Stocker campaigns could be former Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Pigeon. In 2010, Pigeon assisted Stocker with his failed campaign against Democratic Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, according to this source. And this year, Pigeon is an unpaid and unofficial advisor to Panepinto.
Pigeon did not return an email seeking comment.
Panepinto also briefly considered challenging Grisanti back in 2012. His candidacy has been married by his guilty plea to a misdemeanor violation of state election law for gathering phony petition signatures.
Panepinto called that incident a "lapse in judgment…that did not impede by legal career in any way." Panepinto was also a candidate for Erie County Democratic chairman in 2012 before bowing out. That post is now held by Jeremy Zellner.
To call Zellner and Pigeon political enemies would be something of an understatement.
Zellner is running for re-election for the chairmanship this year. Insiders suspect all the subterfuge surrounding the campaigns of Panepinto and Stocker – not to mention the Democratic primary battle between Erie County Legislature Minority Leader Betty Jean Grant and Sen. Tim Kennedy – might actually have something to do with that race.
Given the notoriously tangled web of WNY politics, I'm sure there's much more to this story that remains under the radar. Feel free to drop a line if you've got any additional information and/or insight.
Addendum: Zellner will get a boost this afternoon from a GOTV really being held in Orchard Park for Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his running mate (and WNY native), former Rep. Kathy Hochul. Kellner's expected attendance may signal a thaw between himself and the governor, according to Bob McCarthy, or, at the very least, a temporary detente.
Bill de Blasio, Boogeyman
Jun 27th - 7:09 am
Posted by Liz Benjamin in Andrew Cuomo
From today's Morning Memo:
If you can't join 'em, beat 'em.
Even as they question whether the deal struck by their erstwhile power-sharing partner, IDC Leader Jeff Klein, with his former Democratic colleagues will stick, the Senate Republicans are seeking to turn Klein's abandonment to their political advantage.
GOP senators – especially those who represent districts north and west of Albany – are warning that upstate will be forgotten if the downstate-dominated Democratic conference takes full control of the chamber.
And they're playing up the fact that uber-liberal NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is leading the charge to flip the Senate into Democratic hands, with Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos even going so far as to suggest that de Blasio will become the "de facto governor" of New York if Democrats control both houses of the Legislature.
That's a comment clearly designed to get under the skin of the actual governor, Andrew Cuomo, who has had a rocky relationship with de Blasio since the mayor took office in January.
Skelos drove his point home by saying Cuomo was being "timid" and "sold out" to the labor-backed Working Families Party – a top de Blasio ally – when he agreed to assist his fellow Democrats in their push to take back the Senate in exchange for the WFP's endorsement.
Sen. Tom Libous, the deputy leader of the Senate GOP, and Senate Finance Chairman John DeFrancisco, made similar comments in separate interviews yesterday.
(Interestingly, and perhaps a bit off-message, DeFrancisco also defended IDC member Dave Valesky, saying he doesn't support Onondaga County GOP Chair Tom Dadey's threat to challenge the Syracuse Democrat this fall in retaliation for the IDC's defection).
The anti-de Blasio/downstate vs. upstate argument is apparently a coordinated message for the Senate Republicans, who, according to Capital NY, plan to run this fall against "ultra-liberal New York City radicals" who are working to empower "illegal immigrants" and stifle business.
I'm pretty sure a good number of upstaters have no idea who Bill de Blasio is, but the "we're your last line of defense against the liberals in NYC" argument is one they've certainly heard before from the Senate GOP.
It remains to be seen whether that line of reasoning resonates this time around.

Just because you allow them to defer the payroll tax, does not mean it's not owed. Smart business owners will still run the business conservatively, especially within this state, due to taxes, regulations and so called 'fees'. Then add all the fed BS on top of that. Though this is noble, I do not see how this will spur any long term economic growth.

Porto v Man City Odds: Back a draw in the first leg betting
Click here for the latest odds and betting preview for the Europa League second leg match between Man City and Porto on Wednesday 22nd February 2012.
One of the stand out ties of the Europa League last-32 draw is undoubtedly Porto against Manchester City and the pair meet for the first leg on Thursday night. There is little to choose between the two in the match odds at Estadio do Dragao, with Porto priced 17/10, Man City 8/5 and the draw looks a decent bet at a best priced 23/10 with Paddy Power.
City are favourites to make it through to the last-sixteen though, where Sporting Lisbon or Legia Warsaw will in wait, as they are 2/5 on, while Porto are 7/4 to qualify.
Porto are the reigning Europa League champions after they beat Braga 1-0 in the final last year. They are a much changed outfit this season as they have lost several key players and of course their manager Andre Villas-Boas, although this current side look capable of taking a draw this week.
The Portuguese team are unbeaten at home this season and are unbeaten in their last seven European matches on home soil. They may be third in the Portuguese League at the moment but their home record is not to be sniffed at, particularly as they have won six, drawn six and lost only two of fourteen matches at home against English opposition.
Paddy Power are offering to refund all losing first scorer, last scorer, correct score and scorecast single bets on Thursday's match if City are ahead at half-time and fail to win. With that in mind it could be worth a look at Porto's James Rodriguez in the scorer markets as the Colombian midfielder has scored four in three and is 15/2 to score first or 5/2 to score anytime.
Porto should fancy their chances of grabbing a goal against City, who have looked unconvincing despite holding on to top spot in the Premier League. City notched a fortuitous 1-0 win over Aston Villa at the weekend but they again lacked the firepower to break a poor side down.
Edin Dzeko is likely to get another chance up front after scoring three in his last five and he could be worth a look to score first at odds of 6/1 with Paddy Power. Manager Roberto Mancini will welcome Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure back from African Nations duty and their return will be a huge boost.
Mancini is likely to pick a strong side as his team are not in FA Cup action at the weekend, although they will need to improve on a run of five wins in their last eleven matches. They have been ahead at half-time only once in their last five outings and the double result of a half-time and full-time draw looks decent value at 7/2.
Meanwhile, five of City's last six away games have involved under 2.5 goals and the under market is 4/5 this week. City's away form in Europe hasn't been great as they have only won one of their last seven away from home.
Mancini is likely to take a safety first, Italian style view of this first leg which makes the score draw very tempting at 7/2 with PaddyPower, while the correct score of 1-1 can be backed at 5/1.

Digital project focuses on Lincoln-based sermonstags: Abraham Lincoln, Emory University, projects, research, graduate students
A group of graduate students at Emory University specializing in digital research in the humanities have created a new website that uses digital tools to analyze and compare the text of sermons delivered after Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
Their project uses various digital text tools to map geographic and thematic patterns in the collection of 57 sermons, which reside in the Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library of Emory's Robert W. Woodruff Library. The scholars are calling their project "Lincoln Logarithms: Finding Meaning in Sermons" and they hope it will become a model for the next wave of research in the humanities.
"The [Lincoln] sermons are something we honed in on because we think the analysis we did could be helpful to a lot of researchers," says Sarita Alami, one of three graduate fellows in the library's Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC).
"Nothing exists like this right now," says Alami of the online guide. "The sermons are a game piece for creating a guide for people who are interested in doing digital projects and don't know what tool to use or where to turn. We created an online map so that researchers can know what to try." ...

We are going camping in a couple of weeks and taking gDiaper flushies with us. I picked up 1.5 packs of the flushies from a craigslist-type ad, and they threw in a few extra liners and a slightly roughed up orange g pant. The little g pant had the usual velcro pilling on the elastic, as well as a few cuts/tears along the edge of the elastic.
So I decided to fix it up by zig-zagging some Lastin over the rips in the elastic, then covering the whole elastic waist band with some cotton knit, and finally adding snaps (removed the velcro first). It looks pretty darn cute!

Four Sea Interludes from 'Peter Grimes' 17'
KorngoldViolin Concerto 26'
Symphony No. 5 in B flat major 42'
Nicola Benedetti violin
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Kirill Karabits conductor
A musical snapshot of 1945 – a world emerging from the haze of war into the neon glow of Hollywood and new-found hope. Three contrasting works sum up the spirit of this charged year: Britten's Peter Grimes, reinventing English opera; Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony, striving after the 'grandeur of the human spirit'; and Korngold's Violin Concerto.
Hailed in his youth as a 'genius' and a 'miracle' by no lesser figures than Mahler and Puccini respectively, Korngold's reputation still rests mainly on his luscious film music. The Violin Concerto combines his instinct for melody (themes are borrowed from four of his finest film scores) with classical virtuosity and structural elegance.
The soloist here is Proms regular Nicola Benedetti, a passionate champion of this unaccountably neglected work.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Usually Jewish history books deal with those who have made their mark by doing extraordinary things. While such people obviously are important, there are those who may not have enjoyed much fame yet whose efforts and accomplishments were crucial to maintaining Yahadus in their community. Two such men are Henry S. Hartogensis and his son, Benjamin H. Hartogensis, who devoted their lives to the Jewish community of Baltimore.
Henry S. Hartogensis 1
Henry S. Hartogensis was born on the first day of Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, October 27, 1829, in Hertogenbosch, the capital of Noord Brabant Province in the Catholic southeastern Netherlands. On his father's side he was descended from the distinguished Rabbi Aryeh Loeb ben Chaim (Breslau), whose authorization of the Rodelheim Machzor is printed on the back page of the Heidenheim edition. His father was a well-known philanthropist, scholar and banker, and was referred to as "Rabbi Samuel," despite the fact that he refused to let others consider him a rabbi. On his mother's side he was descended from the well-known Lewyt family.
Nineteen-year-old Henry immigrated in 1848 to Baltimore via New York City to "earn a living" and escape the "financial crash owing to the impending French revolution." He first started a stationery and printing firm and later owned a large sporting goods store on East Baltimore Street. In 1849 he married a fellow Hollander, Rachel de Wolff, daughter of Jacob who had arrived in the 1830s. In the 1850s Henry's younger brother Eleazar (Edward) joined the growing family and worked as a clothier. After marrying he moved to Washington, D.C., opened a "dry goods emporium," and established that branch of the family.In religion, the Hartogensis brothers were strictly Orthodox. Edward helped found the Adas Israel Congregation in Washington and taught in its religious school. Henry frequently officiated as hazan at Baltimore Hebrew [Congregation] until the majority espoused Reform in 1870. He led the minority to start the Chizuk Amuno Congregation in 1871 and served as secretary for twenty years. He also helped fund and erect its new synagogue in 1876, located on Lloyd Street only a few doors from its nemesis, Baltimore Hebrew. When Chizuk Amuno moved uptown in 1892, Hartogensis financed a new Ashkenazic synagogue, Zichron Jacob, located near his home on Baltimore Street, where he served as president, hazan, and "chief mainstay (financial and otherwise)." Earlier, in 1887 Congregation Oheb Shalom's Society for the Education of the Poor elected him as its secretary.
From 1904 until his death [in 1918], Hartogensis affiliated with Shearith Israel Congregation, which remained an ultra-Orthodox synagogue for a century. Again he served as reader at services and was much honored by the congregation.
Henry took an active part in communal and fraternal organizations, both Jewish and non-sectarian alike. For over 40 years he was involved with the Society for the Education of Poor and Orphaned Hebrew Children (Hebrew Education Society), serving at one time as its director and later as treasurer. He was the manager of the Hebrew Free Burial Society for a quarter of a century and in this capacity attended all funerals, and performed many acts of kindness to the living as well as the dead.
Following a lengthy vacation in the Netherlands in 1890, Hartogensis wrote a report for the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent extolling the virtues of Dutch religious Orthodoxy. Despite their achievements in the arts and literature, in sciences and statecraft, which "compares favorably with the best Israelites of other countries," Hartogensis boasted, "nowhere have I seen 'orthodoxy' so triumphant." The Dutch had no use for "modern innovations to devotion – viz. the family pew, the organ, the mixed choirs mainly composed of Christians, the mutilation of the prayer-book, and the desecration of the holidays. What we call 'conservative' congregations," Hartogensis added, "are unknown to Holland Jews." Despite the rising materialism of the young, he concluded with satisfaction, there "are not enough of them in the whole country to form a 'Reform' congregation."
Henry S. Hartogensis passed away on December 25, 1918 leaving behind a wonderful shem tov.
Benjamin H. Hartogensis 2
Henry and Rachel Hartogensis had seven children, several of whom led prominent lives. The most notable of their offspring was Benjamin (April 19, 1865 – July 13, 1939).
Benjamin graduated Johns Hopkins University in 1886. He spent the following year doing graduate work at Hopkins and worked for a short time as an analytic chemist. In 1887 he became the associate editor of the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, serving in this capacity for 12 years. From 1890 to 1896 he also served as one of the editors of the Baltimore American. While engaged in this work, Benjamin studied law at the University of Maryland from 1892 to 1893, earning a law degree.
In December 1893 he was admitted to the bar and three years later began to actively practice law. Benjamin was also the founder and president of the Baltimore branch of the Alliance Israelite Universelle and served as president of the Hebrew Education Society of Baltimore for a number of years. Furthermore, he took an avid interest in the Jewish history of Baltimore and wrote several articles that appeared in the Proceedings of the American Jewish Historical Society.
Staunch devotion to Judaism and Americanism characterized the life and works of Benjamin Henry Hartogensis. As an American, he trenchantly searched for deviations from religious liberty to set them aright. As a Jew, he vigorously maintained unswerving loyalty to the faith and traditions of his fathers, which he sought to perpetuate through education.

Orlando was once a place where people came only to visit and vacation. Now it is home to a burgeoning Torah community, a place Jewish families can be proud to call home.
The smuggler's life has been changed forever. He is faced with a major criminal charge. He will probably be sent to prison.
"Thanks to a local philanthropist who shares our core mission, we now are able to connect more Jewish teens to Israel than ever before," said Todd Cohn, executive director of Southern NCSY.
In September 2013 he was appointed head rabbi of the IDF Central Command and is currently in charge of special projects for the IDF chief rabbinate.
Last month we outlined how a few years after Judah Touro's death a public movement was inaugurated by the citizens of New Orleans to erect a monument to his memory, and that opposition to this tribute came from a number of rabbis throughout the country who claimed that Judaism forbade the erection of any graven […]
Marceau suggested a dark reason for his wordless art: "The people who came back from the [concentration] camps were never able to talk about it…. My name is Mangel. I am Jewish. Perhaps that, unconsciously, contributed towards my choice of silence."
Anna Henriques, who hopes to one day head back to Jamaica, says, "Rabbi Raskin must be willing to respect what exists in Jamaica. The way to the future is to gently bring in the traditions of the past and at the same time embrace the idiosyncrasies of the Jamaican people."
The Silver Platter has it all: gorgeous photography, oodles of useful tips and, more importantly, incredible recipes that you will find yourself making again and again.
It may be that seeking to connect with the past is rooted in the impermanence and impersonality of modern life.
It is very hard to build a healthy marriage when you do not have good role models.

We tend to justify and idealize this division with pride attributing these tendencies as demonstrating a higher level of kedushah.

After his marriage he was successfully engaged in the lumber business.
He wrote a strong defense of shechitah in which he maintained that the Jewish method of slaughter had a humanitarian influence on the Jewish people.
This was a most unusual step to take in those days, given the difficulties of travel to Europe. Nonetheless, on May 1, 1860 he sailed from New York on the steamship Hammonia.
The ship's captain apparently respected the Friedenwalds' strict adherence to halacha because he allowed them to use his cabin for davening and other religious observances.
I happen to believe that for a couple to spend a few years in kollel is a wonderful way to start a marriage.
Penn wrote the following to a friend in England: "I found them [the Indians of the eastern shore of North America] with like countenances with the Hebrew race; and their children of so lively a resemblance to them that a man would think himself in Duke's place, or Barry street, in London, when he sees them."
The special charm of these letters is their immediacy and authenticity of emotion and description.

About MeMy name is Will Liberman and I am originally from Russia. Recently many of my friends have been telling me that I should model but I just replied that you need to be tall and young. Well, I am not that tall and already in my thirties but I really want to pursue a career in acting and modeling at this time. I work hard and always working on improving myself and my skills. I stay in shape by working out and playing soccer. Life is a journey and a marathon, not a sprint. I celebrate all the little things that come my way that make me happy and motivated to become better and better every day.

Product description
Widely praised for its accessibility and its concentration on the metaphysical issues that are most central to the history of Greek philosophy, "Greek Philosophy: Thales to Aristotle" offers a valuable introduction to the works of the Presocratics, Plato, and Aristotle. For the Third Edition, Professor Allen has provided new translations of Socrates' speech in the "Symposium" and of the first five chapters of Aristotle's "Categories, " as well as new selections bearing on Aristotle's "Theory of Infinity, Continuity, and Discreteness." The book also contains a general introduction which sets forth Professor Allen's distinctive and now widely accepted interpretation of the development of Greek philosophy and science, along with selective bibliography, and lists of suggested readings.

Astride a turn in the hillside, known as A Capo, lay a farm with exceptional views (incl. Leaning Tower of Pisa, 12 miles south).
Abandoned, overgrown, collapsed.
Until recently.
A new owner has restored a villa (280 sq m), whose ruins dated back to the 17th century, sparing no expense to use traditional terracotta and chestnut materials.
The result meets all requirements of today's market:
- interior design;
- Sky satellite TV + 5.1 DVD;
- eco-efficient solar-powered under-floor heating;
- hi-speed satellite internet with wi-fi;
- air-conditioning;
- infinity pool;
- 4 lavishly appointed double/twin bedrooms (all en-suite); can sleep 6 more (basic);
- large kitchen, dining room, 50sq m living room;
- stunning south-facing panorama over Pisa and Lucca, towards Florence & Siena. 2 terraces shaded by chestnut pergolas.
10 mins to shops + all major Tuscan culture within 2hrs. Quiet and very private
Grassed paths from both patios lead up to the 12x6m infinity swimming pool with stunning views across the plain of Lucca to the Pisan mountains, distant Pisa and (on a clear day) the mountains of Elba (some 100 miles away). The facilities include a children's paddling pool, terracotta patio, paved sun terrace and grassed shaded terrace with sun-loungers, bench, wooden tables and chairs. The pool is protected by fencing (1.2m high), hedges, walls and/or gates.
Enjoy some 25 acres of woodlands, olive grove and disused vineyard, with traditional terracing and pathways.
We and our cats welcome pet-lovers and your pets.
San Macario's upper village is distinctive: set in a nature reserve, its bell-tower overlooks a stunningly beautiful part of north-west Tuscany, beneath the Apuan Alps and close to the Garfagnana National Park.
Shops in the lower village include a grocery store, several bakeries and a drive-kms-for-his-meat butcher. Two large supermarkets (Co-op and Conad) are within a further 5 minutes drive.
San Macario is 10 minutes drive from Lucca and 14 miles from Pisa (its famous leaning tower and airport visible in the distance). Direct flights to Pisa from the US (New York - Delta), UK, Ireland and many other European airports. Florence Airport is also easily within an hour.
Pisa is well known, and Lucca is a unique medieval walled city overflowing with history, culture and charm - also Puccini's birthplace. July & August see the open air Puccini Opera Festival at nearby Torre del Lago, close to the fashionable Versilia coast - sunny, sandy beaches served by bars & restaurants aplenty. A must.
We can also include limousine service, cultural tours, cooking/ art/ photography/ film courses.
A deposit of 25% of the rent is required to secure your booking.
The balance is payable 8 weeks before your arrival date. A security deposit of €500 or 25% of the rent, if greater, is also due 8 weeks prior to the arrival date. If a booking is made less than 8 weeks before the arrival date, 100% plus the security deposit is required to secure the booking.
If you cancel, or fail to pay the balance by the due date, all amounts paid to secure the booking are forfeit, and only the damages deposit will be returned. Security deposits, less any deductions (including expenses) are returnable after the departure date.
Breakages will be recharged on a replacement as new cost basis.
All bank charges are recharged to the account of the tenant at cost.
Subject to contract .
Our prices are inclusive of all expenses (electricity allowance of €100pw), except when the total price is below €3,000pw, in respect of which our tariff for check-in-&-out, maid service, utilities (including electricity), laundry and cleaning, which is designed only to recoup our costs, is detailed below.
Electricity - according to meter readings (typically €100 pw, but air/con will increase costs significantly)
Water - €5 per day (winter); €7 per day (summer); €10 per day (summer) - yes, utilities in Tuscany are very expensive!
Communications system (standing charge) - €2.97 per day, plus call and/or any other charges
Laundry - €15 per set of linen & towels issued, plus €15
Cleaning on departure - €15 per head
Daily maid service (2 hours per working weekday - mandatory): €15 per hour
Check-in/admin fee: €75 per stay
We charge 7.5% more, if the number exceeds 12. This reflects additional staff costs with larger groups and is based on the number of different people who stay overnight at the villa during the course of your stay.
Even with these extras at low rents, our properties offer incredible value, compared to similarly priced alternatives.
Please note that we do not accept hen or stag parties, nor will we contract with a person under 25.
Fully serviced, all-in, including half/full board with top quality cuisine and daily/live-in maid services, from €7,500pw, depending on the number of people staying in the house and the details of the service you would like us to provide.
Reductions for lets longer than 6 weeks.

Car: Necessary
- the villa lies on one of the most sought-after hillsides in north west Tuscany.
- Less than 15 mins drive from the outstanding walled city of Lucca (known as the world's largest open-air museum), and in view of The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the south-facing hillside is covered with groves which yield some the world's best olive oil (Lucca DOP) and the vineyards of the Colline Lucchese DOC.
- The upper San Macario in Monte area has also recently become an Nature Reserve.
- The culture and museums of Florence are within an hour's drive (also accessible by train), and San Gimignano and Siena are within 90 minutes.
- The coast and beach resorts of Forte di Marmi, Pietrasanta and Viaréggio are some 15 miles west.
- The area is abundant with bars and restaurants of all levels from pizzerias, basic Tuscan countryside trattorias through to Michelin starred restaurants.
- Sports are also well served, including 7 golf courses within one hour's drive.
- The Garfagnana National Park is just to the North.
Golf: the villa is well suited to golfers. The house is owned by the editor/photographer of the acclaimed Pocket Guide to Golf Courses, and Player's View series
We are extremely well-connected within the Italian golf world, and can arrange tailor-made golf or golf and culture holidays, from a self-catering basis right through to a tour hosted by golf playing/course design/photography professionals, as suits the interests of the party. We organise golf+culture tours of Tuscany: there are 7 courses within 1 hour of the villa, including Versilia on the coast, the famous Ugolino (Italian Open venue) outside Florence and the stunning setting of Poggio dei Medici, north of Florence.
Our disused vineyard has been used as a practice fairway. Discover the underestimated charm of Italian golf, and see the culture of Tuscany - all in one go!
Ski: Skiing is at Abetone, the main ski resort of the Apennine mountains. It is a little over 1 hour's drive away.
A winter holiday in Tuscany is not to be under-estimated: buy your Christmas presents in one of Lucca or Florence's many winter markets (leather, antiques, fashion etc), and see all the cathedrals, art treasures and museums with no queues. We offer low rents for the winter periods, a time in which many over-touristed cities re-discover their true Italian identity.
Year Purchased: 2002
About: Greying, Oxford-educated (classics & organ scholar) Anglo-Irish businessman, primarily with finance-profession background, which has led to career in commercial and social real estate development and investment. I am also a golf course restorer and photo-journalist, with golf guides to my name in book, magazine and video format. I love my family, travel, opera, cooking and wine - and of course restoring old buildings...
Why San Macario in Monte:
The view, the view, the view. The peace, the peace, the peace. The privacy, the privacy, the privacy. Birdsong, birds of prey and the hoot of our owl at night. Plus a traditional restoration, for which the local authority has complimented us, yet behind the scenes we have included all the modern facilities. It all reflects the passion we put into the place. We challenge you to find anything like it...
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Complete peace and privacy with an amazing view, yet only 5 minutes down the hill, and you have all the shops and restaurants... and within 7km of the walls of Lucca, an hour of Florence and all the major Tuscan destinations (Forte dei Marmi jet-set riviera included) easily do-able in day trips, plus only 14 miles from a trans-continentally international airport. For a romantic, but equally family-accommodating Tuscan villa holiday, what more could one want?!

"Beyond The Surface" A Documentary Film Project
A Surfing video by surfersmag - 6,376 views
Ishita Malaviya, India's first female surfer, is joined by a unique and talented group of women – Crystal Thornburg-Homcy, Liz Clark, Lauren Hill, Emi Koch, and Kate Baldwin. With unshakable determination for a better world they will travel through Southern India documenting the ways in which surfing, yoga, and ecological creativity are bringing hope and fueling change for local people and the Planet. The saturated hues of India set the scene for this documentary that will touch upon eco-tourism, youth and women's empowerment, biocentrism and personal growth. They will be integrating these causes with the pursuit of India's perfect waves, highlighting the undeniable power of surfing to bring joy amongst suffering. Documentary-style interviews with the local Indian community, filmed by award winning cinematographer, Dave Homcy, will capture this rare and inspiring endeavor with the goal of sharing these stories with the global surf community and beyond. Homcy is best know for critically acclaimed work in Sliding Liberia, Surfwise, A Broke Down Melody, El Mar Mi Alma, Come Hell or High Water, One Track Mind, Shelter, and Dear and Yonder. They intend to bring a spark of hope to the people we meet who face social disparity and suffering, and empower those without voices. All the while, they will discover more about themselves, exchange life experiences and – through the medium of film – inspire others to seek a deeper connection to their fellow humans and to the wonder of nature. beyondthesurfacefilm.com indiegogo.com/beyondthesurfacefilm A FREETHEO PRODUCTION

This delicious gravy gets its wonderful depth of flavor from roasted garlic and parsnips. It's a little savory, a little sweet and a whole lot of healthy. You can make this in advance and simply reheat for serving.
Roasted Garlic and Parsnip Vegan Gravy
Courtesy of Whole Foods Market
Makes 2 cups
1 large bulb garlic
1 medium (3 1/2-ounce) parsnip, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 1/4 cup mushroom broth (made from mushroom bouillon/base) or vegetable broth
4 teaspoons liquid aminos (such as Bragg)
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut garlic head in half horizontally to expose cloves. Wrap securely in a square of aluminum foil and place on an oven rack. Roast until cloves are golden and very soft, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, and then unwrap and squeeze garlic flesh from papery white husk. (You should have about 3 tablespoons.)
Meanwhile, place parsnip in a small baking pan lined with parchment paper and roast until soft and browned, about 30 minutes, stirring once or twice during roasting. Place almonds in a blender, pour in 1/2 cup boiling water and let soak 30 minutes.
Add garlic, parsnip, broth, aminos, thyme and pepper to the blender. Blend until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium saucepan and cook at a bare simmer 2 to 3 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Add more broth or water if gravy is too thick.
