SUNBURY– Building inspectors showed up late Monday afternoon at the Northumberland County Courthouse in Sunbury, and Newswatch 16 has learned the building can reopen Tuesday.
Monday morning, a commissioner ordered an evacuation after noticing some concerning cracks.
An engineer from Larsons Design in Williamsport examined cracks to the brick siding on the outside of the Northumberland County Courthouse. The building was closed around 11 o'clock Monday morning and signs were put up letting people know.
"A crack, you know. Material is falling down. We're just trying to keep everyone safe." said Northumberland County Commissioner Vinny Clausi.
Clausi had the courthouse closed and sent about 45 county employees home for safety reasons. He said a deputy in the sheriff's office noticed cracks in marble floor tiles on the second floor. The commissioner said the floor is sloped more than usual and was worried it could be dangerous.
"The center is where the crack is, and I'm afraid it could go like that," said Clausi.
Several people who tried to open the front doors to the courthouse were surprised to find the doors were locked.
"It's a little inconvenience but if people are going to be safer. It's not a big deal," said Nicole Ressler of Northumberland.
"I can't get in today and I have to work the rest of the week, so I don't know when I'm going to get in," said Jylou Bingaman of Sunbury.
Clausi said Monday's inspection by the engineer will cost the county about $4,000.
"They had to have known, that they are problems before, because you can look at the place and see that it's about to fall down," said Bingaman.
The commissioner said the cracks are only cosmetic damages and can be fixed. The Northumberland County Courthouse will reopen on Tuesday. No word on when repairs to the cracks will begin. The commissioner said repairs could cost more than $50,000.

Legislators Awaiting Details on Budget Cuts
By Andrew Robinson, Bowling Green Daily News
As Gov. Steve Beshear prepares to address the General Assembly about the state's budget, area legislators still can't say specifically how deep they expect cuts will be in this year's budget cycle. "We haven't had any leaks out of the administration or anywhere else," said state Sen. Mike Wilson, R-Bowling Green. "The Senate will not get the budget probably until about two weeks before we're supposed to be done." Beshear warned in his State of the Commonwealth address this month that cuts would be deep.

1 (16 ounce) package
linguine pasta
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
olive oil
1 tablespoon
minced garlic, or to taste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
minced clams, drained with juice reserved
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
chopped clams, drained with juice reserved
1 tablespoon
cornstarch, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) bottle

2 (8 ounce) cans
mushroom pieces, drained
zucchini, grated
2 teaspoons
cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt to taste
1/2 bunch
Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
W-a-y too much butter and oil mixture - I just used a scant 1/4 c. olive oil with a dollop of butter. I also substituted fresh sauteed mushrooms for the canned. This recipe can have its heat increased by the addition of a good cajun seasoning. Good recipe to play with.
I did not care for this recipe. It was so hot I couldn't swallow it! It would be great without the pepper, or 1/2 the amount possibly. We might make it again, but NOT with the pepper!

OH WOW!!!! I never make a recipe without tweaking and the only change I made was to substitute angel hair pasta 'cause hubby's stroke makes linguini and spaghetti harder to wind on the fork. This is absolutely fabulous just as is. Very quick, easy, and affordable. I may cut back on the butter and olive oil as suggested by the first reviewer but if cholesterol is not a problem...make it just as is for one of the best dishes ever!
Great recipe! Added a little white wine, but besides that, followed it exactly. Thanks!
This is a delicious recipe. I tried it just as written one time, and then the next time, I added 1/4 cup of white wine instead of the clam juice. It was even better. Thank you for sharing.
I have never made this before and was a little nervous at first...was skeptical with adding the zucchini and cayenne pepper...however it was FANTASTIC! Best linguini and clam sauce I have ever had...this will be my forever recipe for this dish! Thank you!
This is the fist time I have written a review and that's because this is undoubtably the best recipe ever! I followed it to the letter except for reducing the butter and olive oil as suggested. I also had to use "Knorr Clam Base" as I did not have the bottled version. Wen I got to the end, though it was delicious already, it was a bit soupy. By adding a trick from my Sicilian mother, two dollops of cream cheese (1/4 of the 8 oz pkg), it turned to pure silk. OMG - This deserves more than 5 stars!
made this for my sisters a couple of weeks ago.great recipe; quick and very tasty

Rumor volat. It's that time of year, and the Marlins are in the thick of some hot stove talk. Signing a franchise player to a 13 year deal that is worth $325M will turn some heads.

Clark Spencer and Barry Jackson are reporting that the Marlins are inquiring about Chris Davis from the Orioles and Evan Gattis from … [Read more...]
Fish Farm: Yordy Cabrera is Making Strides
Maybe you didn't notice, but the Marlins shed players and payroll this past offseason to net prospects to fill their roster for years to come. It was a hopeful move, to create promise for the future, but it has been met with great cynicism and distrust from Marlin fans who cite Loria's past as a prologue to any future here in Miami. Yet, there is one deal that does seem to … [Read more...]
Is Giancarlo Stanton Too Valuable to Trade?
Yesterday, Joe Frisaro suggested that the Marlins may possibly open the flood gates to hear offers for Giancarlo Stanton. This is pure speculation, but one of the scenarios that arose was a possible deal with the Rangers for Jurickson Profar and Mike Olt. At the beginning of December, there were reports that the Mets turned down an offer from the Rangers of Olt for R.A. … [Read more...]
Marlins Grab Dramatic Win to Avoid 7 Straight Losses
In many ways the game started appropriately - Anibal Sanchez looked very hittable and gave up 2 runs in the first inning. It looked like he was going to dominate, then all of a sudden he fell apart. Next thing you know, he gets a strikeout to escape the first without any further damage. At that point, it was looking like ugly loss #7 in a row was rearing its ugly head. No … [Read more...]
Dead in the Water: Marlins Drop Sixth Straight
The Marlins came back to Miami, weary, and hoping to get their offense going. Turns out the less-than-rocket arm of seemingly normally named lefty Joe Saunders was not what the Fish needed to spark the offense. No home cooking, not Longball Lagoon fireworks. Over the course of this 6 game losing streak, the Marlins are hitting .151 with a 2-26 clip with runners in scoring … [Read more...]

Requiring a Bachelor's Degree to run for mayor? Please tell me that's a joke...no? Another joke of a move from Kleem, eh? A college degree isn't even required to be President of the United States (another elected office, I believe), but the 'leadership' in Berea wants to limit candidates to college grads...haven't we seen enough scumbag lawyers in leadership positions to realize it aint' the degree, it's the person? Some of the smartest people I know don't have degrees, just real intelligence and lots of common sense. I'd take someone like that anyday over the current office holder.
Thanks to Councilman Maxwell for standing against this foolishness. We've just seen two lawsuits against the city from mistreated employees, one settled for a large amount of money, the moral around the city is horrible, and the mayor has time to think up idiotic charter changes like this? Still can't figure out what Berea voters were thinking last election.
Someone reading this and the other recent story about another employee lawsuit/settlement might come away with the impression that the administration in Berea is the problem, but maybe the city just needs employees who don't mind being ordered to lie or treated unfairly...
Your attempt to insult gun owners fell a little flat there, Walter. Sure, Saks or Giant Eagle selling guns sounds funny, but that's not the market they're in, is it? Does anyone go to Saks or Giant Eagle for drywall, or boat anchors, or kitchen cabinets? Truth is Fin, Feather and Fur is in the business of selling a variety of outdoor equipment, is it not? They choose to follow federal regulations pertaining to the sales of guns and have as much right to cater to their clientele as any gun store.
It seems you and the previous letter writer simply don't like the idea of citizens being legally able to purchase firearms, which yes, is protected by the Second Amendment. Sorry if folks aren't willing to roll over and give that right up just because some look down their noses at them. And BTW, gun owners come from both parties, think all those southern dems don't like their guns? But hey, enjoy your bigotry and stereotyping.
Truly business as usual. Even giving the 'screeners' credit for being honest idiots and missing her party affiliation, why select a person who, in her previous public role, exemplified all the things we're supposedly trying to stop; short hours and a big backlog of cases. That's exactly what the previous boards of revision were doing. These guys need watching on a daily basis.
It didn't take long for Mr. Jones to raise the usual (and tired) bogeymen; Limbaugh and Fox News. Has it ever occurred to you that it might be all those others; CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NYTimes, WaPo, etc. etc. etc., who might supply a one-dimensional product? Talk about lockstep, watch any of those usual suspects and you'll more than likely get the same spin...liberal spin. Why don't liberals ever complain about the rest of the major media, just Fox news? The answer is obvious.
Also, the writer criticizes conservatives for questioning the value and effect of big government programs, calling such opposition 'ridiculous'. Actually, it's not ridiculous, it's really common sense. Ask yourself this; is American society (family structure, urban centers and schools) better off now after forty some years of big government programs? How did bussing work out? The cruel truth is there's a close inverse relationship between the advent of the Great Society programs and the crumbling of the American Family. You could look it up, but most liberals would never entertain the thought that Big Government (or the utopian dream) doesn't work.
Better to appear clueless than complicit. That's all that's going on here. Even McCormack, who admits some suspicion at least, excuses himself by claiming he 'thought the FBI was handling it'. Tubbs Jones clearly could have nipped some of this in the bud but opted to protect a party crony. And Mason strikes me as another party hack who 'didn't see nothin' unless it couldn't be avoided, like McFaul. None of these guys, even the Plain Dealer, who supported McFaul for years, should be able to claim they had no clue. I don't recall ever reading a story by the PD questioning the total control of county gov. by the democrats, or suggesting it was a negative thing.
JD might benefit from the fact that he 'worked cheap', relatively speaking. Most of the prosecution was about meals, a Vegas trip with a prostitute, a few grand worth of backyard work, and a few crony type jobs, which seems small potatoes compared to Russo's take. I certainly think it was still very illegal and would convict the crook, but you never know with a jury. All it takes is one or two who think he was just a crass pig, but not the 'kingpin' criminal portrayed by the feds.
All the anti-charter letters I've read have the same theme; continue the status-quo, it's imperative that Parma continue to be dominated by one party, supporters of a charter are radical tea party members who want to cut all taxes and services, etc. etc. But what do all the status quo people have to hang their hat on? Every time I read a story about the County corruption trial, Parma and Parma connected officials kept popping up....hmm, it looks like this area could use a good flushing out with some new rules and hopefully some new players. One can only hope.
Ah JD, all bluster and righteous indignation back in '08, blaming the FBI and mean republicans. He sure never passed up a chance to scream his innocence back then when he couldn't be cross examined, now goes out with a wimper and a gaggle of p-poor witnesses. Gee, who saw that coming?
What a crack team of defense witnesses; one who has to plead the fifth, one with a doctor's excuse to claim 'I don't recall', and one who gets lost in the building....carry on boys you're doing great.
Riiiiiiiiiight, associate, the crazy tea party people don't want police protection. And all those other cities with charters, they are all left without police, fire, and have to schlep their garbage to a landfill in their own cars. I understand your opposition (tied in with the status quo, one-party rule, democrats are wonderful mentality) but ridiculous fear mongering such as you wrote in your letter just makes people more resentful.
Ditto chopperboy's comment. When a politician sends a letter to the editor extolling the dedication and hard work of himself and fellow politicians (it's for the people!), you know it's time to vote the other way. Left unsaid by Mr. Brochetti was how deeply involved Parma officials and county leaders from Parma were in the corrupt County political machine. Also, every Parma politician who has come out against the charter has used the tired and ridiculous warning of the 'radical' Tea Party folks being behind the change. Egads! the end of the world as we know it would soon follow if some politicians of another party gained some power in Parma. What a novel idea.
Parma Hts. officials look bad here. Basic incident reports are public record, not considered part of the ongoing investigation as the law director stated. They are the initial, basic report usually taken by a patrol officer establishing that a criminal offense occurred. What follows after that DOES fall under the umbrella of 'investigative', and not required to be disclosed. It's significant that the County Prosecutor's Office jumped in and overruled the Parma Hts. officials.
What is disturbing is that there are significant penalties in place if cities are found to be violating public records laws. It just doesn't pay for cities to get arrogant and defensive about releasing some information when asked because they could get sued by the media and have to pay out big bucks, taxpayer bucks, of course.
What B.S. The story doesn't explain how the judge 'knew' he would use campaign funds to pay restitution...was it an oversight, something not even mentioned in open court, or did the judge give prior consent to the arrangement? It's hard to believe a sitting judge didn't know campaign funds are not for private use, heck, I knew that. If the judge didn't approve the use of the funds in advance, the former Sheriff shouldn't have been let off the hook, but these commissions appear to look first for reasons NOT to act rather than mess with fellow politicians.
These idiot drug abusers put innocent people at risk and put our police under a lot of pressure; pursue and try to stop them or let it go and hope they don't kill someone else down the road. Happy that this guy only hurt himself, no sympathy whatsoever.
So it's the 'vast right wing conspiracy' plus 'everybody else does it too' defense. Very impressive.
Screw her, they were crazy people, let her sue. As a taxpayer, I wouldn't complain about about them fighting her in court. They proved themselves to be inadequate, failed owners, creating a hellhole for the animals and bigtime threat to innocent folks living nearby. Those animals deserved better than her and her nutjob ex.
Really? You have the stats on that?
It's all anecdotal, and there will always be examples in any group, but proportionally, I think the elderly have more than their fair share of cranks. I see it as an affect of aging.
You have a point there, emorson. A lot of these old timers get downright mean and stubborn, not dementia, it just seems to be an unfortunate part of aging. I see it in stores and I see it in my own mother, mid-80's; the tendency to be cranky and rude with people they encounter, like they just don't give a darn about manners anymore.
You're right, Hegal, putting her behind the wheel will be necessary for a conviction, and probably not an easy task for the police to accomplish, which is why, IMO, it took so long to get an indictment. Some have cited stories suggesting they found nobody else's DNA in the car as proof enough, but I don't believe it would. Attorneys are superb at raising doubts in juries minds, and there must be any number of plausible reasons they'd cite, and experts they'd put on the stand, to attack that assumption.
The scientific evidence they have tying the car to the scene is probably strong and there won't be any problems with that, but proving she's the driver might depend on a mix of scientific and circumstantial, with witnesses testifying about her activities around the time of the accident.
I certainly hope they have a good strong case against her and she receives the max sentence if convicted. Actually, I believe she'll plead out prior to a trial and probably not receive a maximum sentence, but at least there will be justice for that poor young boy.

Jan. 25, 2006
UPDATE -- Some of the premier track and field talent in the country is in Albuquerque once again this week as 13 nationally ranked athletes, including New Mexico pole vaulter Derek Mackel, and the No. 3 men's 4x400-meter relay team are set to compete in the University of New Mexico Multis (Thursday-Friday) and UNM Invitational (Saturday) indoor meets at the Convention Center. For the first time this year, fans will be welcome to watch the men's heptathlon and women's pentathlon competitions at the city's state-of-the-art track facility free of charge. The heptathlon begins at 11 a.m. on Thursday with the first event of the pentathlon set for 10:30 a.m. on Friday.
Saturday's University of New Mexico Invitational will feature 13 teams, including the 15th-ranked Texas Tech men, Florida (women), Oklahoma, Long Beach State, New Mexico State, Oral Roberts, Division II national powers Adams State and Western State, and host UNM. The meet opens with the field events 9 a.m., followed by the first event on the track at 10:30. Tickets will be available at the door - $3 for adults, $2 for students and free for ages 5 and under.
University of Texas All-Americans Donovan Kilmartin and Trey Hardee, ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, lead a strong heptathlon field that also includes New Mexico's Dan Feltman, the Mountain West Conference decathlon champion and an NCAA qualifier last year. Kilmartin was the 2005 indoor heptathlon runner-up and finished fourth in the decathlon outdoors. Hardee was the national decathlon champion and placed third in the heptathlon. The Longhorn men are currently ranked fourth in the country.
Three-time All-American Ryanne Dupree of UT-San Antonio leads a pentathlon field that also includes Lobo rookie Sandy Fortner of Fort Sumner, N.M. Fortner, who will be making her collegiate debut on Friday, was named 2005 Albuquerque Journal Female Athlete of the Year - the first competitor from a class 1A program ever to win the award.
The Texas Tech men feature four ranked athletes, led by the No. 2 400-meter runner in the country, Andre Williams. The Red Raiders also have three nationally-ranked hurdlers in Shawon Harris (No. 8), Marlon Odom (No. 10) and Daryl Burgess (No. 11), along with the third-ranked 4x400 relay team.
Oral Roberts boasts two ranked 800-meter men in Prince Mumba (No. 4) and Shaun Smith (No. 12), while Albuquerque Sandia product Mackel has soared up to fourth after opening the year unranked in the pole vault. Mackel will join the men's pole vault competition some time after 10:30 a.m.
The Red Raider women are led by All-American Tori Polk, the No. 4 long jumper, and the nation's eighth-ranked 800-meter runner, Althea Chambers. Florida, meanwhile, boasts the No. 6 ranked weight throw competitor in four-time All-American Rachel Longfors.
The three-day meet will be the fifth event held on the 2-year-old track at the Albuquerque Convention Center and the fourth of eight meets scheduled for 2006. Last weekend's Modrall Sperling Lobo Invitational lived up to its billing as one of the premier indoor meets in the country as seven automatic qualifying marks and 44 provisional qualifying marks for the NCAA Indoor Championships were recorded. The Florida State men also moved up to No. 1 in the national rankings after their strong performance in Albuquerque.

For education reformers, this is the best of times. New technologies offer hope to many kids who just don't fit in traditional public schools, and improvement to many others who do.
For education reformers, this is the best of times. New technologies offer hope to many kids who just don't fit in traditional public schools, and improvement to many others who do.
Alabama's attorney general is questioning the U.S. Justice Department's legal authority to get enrollment information about all students in many Alabama school districts as part of its federal lawsuit challenging the state's tough new immigration law.
For years, leaders such as U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and former first lady Laura Bush have said teachers need to be paid more. But researchers from two conservative think tanks say otherwise in a report released.
School districts across New York State could win as much as $75 million in grant money if they can prove to state education officials that they have been able to raise performance and have new ideas for further gains, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced.
Under a plan approved unanimously by board of education members, San Diego Unified will consider school consolidations, which is a significant curtailing of a process that could have closed or consolidated more than a dozen schools across the district next fall.
Back in May, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education fired off a joint letter to all school districts in the nation reminding them they risked losing federal funding if they violated the Supreme Court's 1982 ruling in Plyler vs. Doe by denying children access to a free education because of their immigration status.
A prolonged effort to clarify the state's special education regulations has hit a stumbling block. Many members of the state Board of Education don't understand some of the proposed changes or the impact they would have on a student's ability to get needed services.
Education is in "crisis". That's the message that was conveyed Thursday by education historian Diane Ravitch in a Distinguished Lecture Series appearance at William Paterson University.
Parents of school-age children in Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield should know that the Virginia Association of School Superintendents have presented their Blueprint for the Future of Public Education to the State board of Education.
Michigan residents overwhelmingly support giving parents whose children attend failing schools the option to send their kids to better schools, according to results of a survey released.
The rancor that has followed former City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz's attempts to open charter schools across New York City is coming to a place that hasn't experienced it before: a middle-class neighborhood outside Manhattan.
The state attorney general has been asked to investigate allegations that Sunnyside High School athletes were told to report for a weekend practice, in uniform, then directed to pass out literature in support of the district's upcoming bond and override election.
On Wednesday, President Obama introduced two changes to the federal student loan program that could affect several million borrowers. The broad outlines of his plans to encourage loan consolidation and assist people who are struggling financially are reasonably clear.
Education officials meeting here this week called for more civility as the debate intensifies over sweeping changes in New Jersey public schools.
Though getting a sweeping federal education bill out of a Senate committee feels momentous given Congress's heightened partisan atmosphere, Senators Tom Harkin's (D-Iowa) and Mike Enzi's (R-Wyo.) measure faces a rocky road.

DELBARTON - Over the years, the sewer system in the Town of Delbarton that has accommodated approximately 450 customers had definitely seen its better days. Thanks to grants and a government loan, a $10 million dollar upgrade is being completed in several stages and will include service to nearby outlying communities in the near future.
The 1st phase of the project is now completed, according to John Preece, the Mayor of Delbarton, who sat down with two of his town council members and the Williamson Daily News for an interview that highlighted many changes being made to the small community, and the sewer plant was at the top of their list.
"We used to have a Model-T Ford and now we've got a Cadillac," remarked Councilman Joe Crum, who expressed his excitement and relief that the sewage project is quickly becoming a reality for the town that he holds dear. "This has been a long time coming."
Before the upgrades began, the sewage plant was in a state of disrepair and routine maintenance was no longer enough to keep everything working properly. Thanks to the grants and loans, Delbarton now has a state-of-the-art sewer plant that, as stated by the mayor, should easily last for the next 30-40 years.
"We're preparing to start the second phase of the project, which will be in the Ragland community," said the mayor. "When this portion is completed, we will have picked up approximately 200 additional homes."
"With this being said, I want the residents of Delbarton to be aware that we are aggressively collecting past due water and sewage bills," stated Preece. "We have financial obligations to meet and if the bills aren't paid to the town, it creates problems for us."
"Corrective action will be taken against those who don't pay and they could possibly have their service discontinued. We have a budget that we have to meet and we have actively enforced collecting past due bills," the Mayor stated. "Bill Duty has been working on this project for us and has done a wonderful job collecting past due debts and these efforts will continue as long as it takes."
"We are also collecting past due B&O taxes that are past due for several businesses located within our town limits and we're working with the business owners to correct that problem and get everyone caught back up."
Once the Ragland sewage project is completed, the Elk Creek community will follow. Preece, along with Councilmen Crum and Mark Sizemore spoke of what an instrumental part Mike Whitt, the former Director of the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority, had played in acquiring funding for the project.

I assume you mean their conclusions and not their methodology. Methodology and comparison to numerous other studies is not something I have the time to look into at the moment, but as far as conclusions I find them generally unimportant to the topic at hand. There will always be a outliers and specific cases where a generally harmful agent may be useful, such as the highly toxic nature of 'chemo' meds and radiation therapy. However, saturated fats are negative dietary elements in the normal range healthy body, and unsaturated fats are generally good.
There are vast differences between mono and polyunsaturated fats, of course, and the balance and amounts of these is also important. Any vitamin, mineral, or fat, including the 'hallowed' linolenic omega 3, will either cause harm or do no extra benefit, while things like saturated and trans fats, as well as LDL cholesterol have the potential to be negative, if not harmful, at nominal levels.
For studies that found no health benefits to unsaturated fats, there are studies that do, enough of an abundance in adequate quality for me to use that as my baseline. There are counter-results to nearly every study.
Also, as I mentioned, the fish oil are authentic non-manufactured ingredients, though they are still supplements. Supplements are not synonymous to standard dietary digestion of the source foods. I have nonetheless seen many studies with strong results for the positive effects of fish oil. I personally prefer using flax seed oil for my linolenic supplementation, but either way. Vitamin E, selenium and omega 3 supplementation are some of the most grounded and certain supplements in terms of demonstrated benefits.
These studies listed are useful, but they are not addressing normal standard 98.5%+ of the public. We are not talking about malnourished, alcoholic, or other special condition/category diets the majority of the time.

Can You Re-Copyright Works That Fall Into Public Domain? High Court To Rule
Director of the Fair Use Project Anthony Falzone is quoted in the following article due to his involvement in the Supreme Court case, Golan v. Holder. Joe Mullin of PaidContent.org reports:
Copyrights do end—although these days, they're so long (95 years for most works) that you'd scarcely know it. Once a work does fall into the public domain, can it be copyrighted again? In 1994, Congress effectively said "yes" when it passed a law that the government argued was necessary to get the U.S. properly aligned with the Berne Convention, an important international copyright treaty. But a group of public-interest lawyers and small businesses that use public-domain works have challenged the law, and today the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear their case.
The works that will be affected by Golan v. Holder are all foreign, and date from the earlier part of the 20th century. For various reasons, they fell into the public domain in the U.S.—but are still under copyright outside the U.S. In 1994, Congress put the works back into copyrighted status, with the goal of aligning U.S. and international copyright law in certain ways.
In an interview this morning, Anthony Falzone, who directs Stanford Law School's Fair Use Project, said he was thrilled. "This case presents some really important issues, and I'm glad the Supreme Court decided it was worth its attention."
Falzone added that the idea that a victory for his clients would throw international copyright law into disorder was an exaggeration, although he did say that some aspects of how the U.S. adheres to key treaties like the Berne Convention may need to be re-negotiated. But that treaty gives countries plenty of latitude in choosing how to protect artists, he said. In any case, there continue to be areas where U.S. law differs substantially from European law; we don't offer creators "moral rights" that extend beyond copyright, for example.

Peter is forty-four, prosperous, childless, the owner of a big New York apartment, a player in the NY contemporary art dealing scene. He has been married to Rebecca for close on twenty years. Their marriage is sound, in the way marriages are. Peter might even describe himself to be happy. But when Mizzy, Rebecca′s much younger brother, comes to stay, his world is turned upside down. Returning to their New York flat after work one day, Peter sees the outline of Rebecca in the shower. But when he opens the shower door, it is Mizzy he comes face to face with. From that moment on, Mizzy who occupies all of Peter′s thoughts. His fascination with him is erotic but not exactly sexual. Without ever really falling out of love with his wife, he tumbles into love with her brother, and is encouraged that way by the young man.
With traces of the tensions that ripple through Death in Venice, this new novel from Michael Cuningham brilliantly examines the quest for unattainable, and temporal, beauty.

Democrats in the Alabama Senate are calling the attempt by Republicans to stop the DROP retirement program a punitive attack on teachers and state employees hidden behind the guise of saving money.
Senate Minority Leader Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, said that Republicans in the regular session, like they did in the special session on ethics, are bringing up a bill that would hurt teachers and state employees as the first proposal they consider. During the special session, the first bill considered and passed by the new Republican majority stopped politically active associations that represent teachers and state employees from collecting their dues through the state's automatic payroll deduction system.
The Deferred Retirement Option Program or DROP program allows state and education employees who are 55 years old and have 25 years of service to receive salary and retirement benefits while continuing to work. The program was passed in the hope that it would discourage valuable employees from taking early retirement.
State Sen. Hank Sanders, D-Selma, said the intent of DROP was to slow teachers leaving Alabama for other states.
Projections from the Legislative Fiscal Office and others put the savings to the state for repealing DROP between $35 million and $70 million.
Republicans believe the "luxury benefit plan" needs to be repealed during these tough financial times.
"DROP is simply an added luxury that public employees enjoy, but the state does not have the resources to continue funding luxuries while cutting the budgets for the necessities. I believe the people of Alabama can understand that logic," said Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston. "It's the same logic that they follow when making financial decisions that impact their families – it's simply common sense budgeting."
Bedford said the purpose is "not to save money, but to punish them because a disproportionate number of them chose to vote for Gov. Robert Bentley over not-Gov. Bradley Byrne"
The Alabama Education Association supported Bentley, then a two-term state legislator, over Byrne, former chancellor of the state's junior college system who was supported by some of the state's most prominent Republicans, in that party primary.
Sen. Quinton Ross, D-Montgomery, said the bill is an attack on teachers and state employees.

Now looking at company culture in general, what are the benefits of this, and why should other companies do it? Keep reading to find out…
When companies treat their employees great, word gets around. While cubicles, no respect and a lack of communication were the standard for decades, workers are demanding a different kind of culture. They want to feel appreciated, respected and comfortable when they go to work. It's not about the money, it's about the brand. How do you make your employees feel. Believe it or not, you can make your employees want to come to work each day. All it takes is a few changes.
Keep Them Longer With Extra Perks
Although companies like Intuit don't give many opportunities for moving up the corporate ladder, their employees are still happy to stay. Why? Great services and perks at work. This is more than dental and eye care. Companies are offering employees things like gyms and game rooms to keep everyone satisfied. If you're getting a good compensation, are offered opportunities to learn and have great amenities like a game room, chances are, you'll be satisfied.
Make It a Teaching Environment
People love an opportunity to receive free training or a college education. Companies like CareerBuilder offer a great program for tuition reimbursement, which keeps their employees happy. How can you use education as a tool to create a great company culture. You can require training or make it optional, then run an employee recognition program for those that excel in their academics. Find ways to make learning free and fun and you'll make a great company identity.
Create a Great Working Space
Out of all the places to work, Google has set themselves a part when it comes to company culture. They've managed to create a working environment that's evokes the creativity needed to succeed in a creative business. Free, gourmet meals, tube slides instead of chairs and free massages are just a few of the things you'll find at Google.
How can you apply some of these things into creating your company culture? There are plenty of things that you can do to make your employees happy, healthy and satisfied. While you may not want a game room or tube slides, there are ways you can incorporate fun and appreciation into your company. Create your own company identity through unique ideas, incentives and programs. You may not gain the same reputation as Google or other top companies, but you can make a huge impact on your employees. You don't have to be huge to make simple changes that will leave lasting results.

text: Many students are fortunate to have tentatively chosen a career path for themselves by the time they have begun high school. If this path has included a STEM or health-related (i.e., pre-med, pharmacy, dentistry, physician's assistant) discipline, most have been guided along the math track sequence of Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus and sometimes even Calculus. These should have been taken at a minimum pre-AP (or Honors) level. Similarly, Chemistry should have commenced with pre-AP level and optionally progressed to AP to have enabled students to have been that much better-prepared for the rigors of college work. At the college stage all higher-level health field-oriented students must take a year of both General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry in that order. Nursing and physical therapy-bound students typically require less than this. In any case, many college students take some of their Chemistry courses... read more

Carol Cloud Bailey: Cape honeysuckle flowers throughout the winter
If you are looking for something different for the landscape or garden, take a look at cape honeysuckle, Tecoma capensis.
This interesting plant cannot make up its mind how it wants to grow. Horticulturists call it a rambling shrub and depending on how it is pruned, this flowering plant makes a great freestanding specimen, climbing vine, container plant, ground cover, hedge or border. It can even be planted on slopes for stabilization and erosion control.
Native to South Africa, Tecoma has leaves that are pinnately compound and shaped like a feather. Each leaf has five to nine leaflets that are roughly diamond-shaped with several coarse teeth on the edges or margins. Overall, the leaves are about 6 inches long.
However, it is the flowers that shine. They are tubular and appear mostly in the winter in Central and South Florida, though a few may appear throughout the year. Tecoma flowers are two-lipped with long stamens and are up to 2 inches long.
The flower color is orange-red to scarlet, though there are yellow selections. The flowers are held in loose groups, racemes, at the branch ends. Once the blooms fade, the fruit appears and is a 2-inch capsule.
Cape honeysuckle is somewhat cold-tolerant; it is grown in USDA hardiness zones 9B-11 and will tolerate some frost or temperatures to 26 degrees F. It also has good salt tolerance. Choose a location with full sun, though Tecoma will grow and flower in partial shade.
The soil should be well-drained and rich, yet this tough plant tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions. Water new plants well during establishment and then occasionally during dry season for best flowering, it is moderately drought-tolerant once well-established.
Generally, Tecoma is a low-maintenance plant with few pests. It propagates easily from seeds or cuttings and readily roots where branches touch the ground. Prune this rambler regularly and as necessary to shape the plant or direct the growth. It is a vigorous, fast grower and easily can get out of hand if out-of-bounds shoots are not regularly removed. Sturdy supports are necessary if it is grown to cover structures.
Carol Cloud Bailey is a landscape counselor and horticulturist. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

(AP) – A jobless man from Washington state accused of robbing at least 7 banks across the country in a spree that allegedly began in Lusk, Wyo, made his initial federal court appearance on robbery charges Wednesday in East St Louis, Illinois.
49-year old Carl Frederick Kieffer had the U.S. Public Defender's Office appointed to represent him, and he waived his detention hearing and preliminary hearing.
Kieffer was arrested Tuesday near an Illinois cornfield two hours after he allegedly robbed a bank in O'Fallon, Ill, just east of St Louis.
$3,300 was taken in that robbery, and authorities say Kieffer had a "wad" of cash in his pocket when he was arrested following a car chase and a manhunt by dozens of law enforcers and an Illinois State Police airplane after abandoning his car.
O'Fallon Interim Police Chief Jeff Wild found Kieffer lying in the grass and that Kieffer said not to shoot because he didn't have a gun.
FBI Special Agent Daniel Cook, in an affidavit filed Wednesday, said Kieffer admitted robbing 6 banks in Illinois, Wyoming, Ohio and Michigan. The Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat quoted Kieffer as telling the magistrate judge during his court appearance that "the FBI has been very nice to me."
In a financial affidavit filed with the court, Kieffer wrote that he owed more than $600,000 in hospital bills – $480,000 to one hospital and $120,000 to another, though he did not specify his health issues. He also said he last worked at a fast food restaurant in Spokane, Wash, in August…earning $900,000.
Prosecutors say Kieffer's case will first proceed in Illinois. Federal bank robbery charges carry a 10-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine.
Kieffer is a suspect in the following bank robberies:
* Aug. 26 at the Lusk State Bank in Lusk, Wyo.
* Sept. 5 at the Chase Bank in Novi, Mich.
* Sept. 13 at New Carlisle Federal Savings Bank in Tipp City, Ohio.
* Sept. 16 at the Bank and Trust in Farmersville, Ill.
* Oct. 3 at the Huntington National Bank in Bolivar, Ohio.
* Oct. 9 at the Fifth Third Bank Branch in Charlotte, Mich.

Brandon Roy? If anyone thought he'd come back injury free and the team should continue to build around him, and not keep an injury-less Andre, wow, that would be comical if it weren't my favorite team.
I don't mind Nate so much, I'm used to it. But Mike Rice? It's a sad day when he's calling fans stupid and picking on Nicolas Batum for his faults. I was kinda shocked really.
8th seed? When did that happen last?
I would like to see Batum at the 2 position in game one of the playoffs . Show the opponent that we're serious about advancing to the next round.
OK, I have one more comment.
I hope Leonard and his amazing group appreciate what they created, and even more, that the concert-goers appreciate them. I came with three family members who had never heard of Leonard Cohen, and I will bring ten next time.
Keep it up, kid with the crazy dream!
Diane, I was in the middle of replying to your comment when I was cut short. When I returned I saw that you had commented on mine.
Anyway, I was going to say when I left the concert, I had the same feeling, of acknowledging ourselves, from listening to Leonard's music. As he said himself, it is "not new" (though he didn't sing that one in Portland), so why can't we do it too? I didn't expect someone else would have the same experience from listening to his music.
I'd like to hear more comments from you at firstname.lastname@example.com
Like the Webb Sisters, it was sublime. Leonard Cohen put together an incredible group of musicians and singers, took care that his lyrics be heard in all types of venues, and somehow chose Portland as his second-to-last stop on a tour lasting over two and a half years.
Lucky as hell is how I feel to have been able to attend Wednesday's show, and as you mention Jeff, there was also the feeling of autumn passing to winter and the wish that Leonard could play three more hours and live another 76 years.
Thanks, Jeff. I've been following Leonard Cohen's world tour as it makes its way to Portland and your write-up is excellent. Instead of re-wording what I've been reading over and over, you achieved a depth not found in other pieces.
Friday is the worst traffic day of the week. Exactly where and what time did you see a lack of traffic on Friday?

Industry insiders have confirmed that Honda will be producing a hybrid version of the Honda Fit subcompact car.
Nihon Keizai mentioned in it's previous report that Honda is developing a new 1.0 liter hybrid engine for the Honda Fit hybrid, but an anonymous source said the Honda Fit hybrid will likely use the Honda Insight's engine, a 1.0 liter 12 valve 3-cylinder Honda Integrated Motor Assist hybrid engine. The Fit would also likely replace the Honda Insight in it's market segment, though production of the Insight would likely continue for bragging rights as one of the most fuel-efficient vehicle manufactured on US roads, though in reality it lost the title to the Messerschmitt KR200. It was also the first hybrid car to be on sale for the mass market in the US.
The Honda Insight engine is a SOHC inline-3 1.0 liter engine making 67 horsepower at 5700rpm in gasoline mode and 73 horsepower at 5700rpm with Integrated Motor Assist. It comes with both manual and CVT gearbox options. The Honda Insight was featured in the movie Be Cool, where it was called the Cadillac of hybrids. The 1.0 liter IMA engine won the International Engine of the Year award 2000, and held the Sub-1 liter category from 2001 to 2005.
LG Electronics MobileComm U.S.A. has unveiled its newest mobile phone, the LX350. The LX350 offers the latest evolution of style and communication capability to the everyday mobile user by showcasing a robust lineup of features in a unique and affordable package.
The features in this device include a 1.3 mega pixel camera / camcorder with flash, 3D graphics support for games, multimedia messaging, speakerphone and Bluetooth capabilities.
The LX350 features a clamshell form factor, complete with an external LCD that conceals itself when not in use, giving it a smooth seamless appearance. For the photography buff, the LX350 boasts a cutting-edge 1.3 Megapixel camera that is capable of taking pictures at multiple resolutions and can store up to 269 photos. In addition, users can experience high quality video clips with an impressive 176x144 video resolution, with enough internal memory to store up to 107, 15 second video clips running at an amazing 15 frames per second.
In a concerted effort to co-ordinate the launch of both Blu-ray movie titles and players, retailers have asked studios to hold their stock until June 20th. This move will be celebrated by HD-DVD backers in the short term, although it will not affect the general consumer electronics market by much due to the slow adoption rate. Here's some trivia: a recent survey conducted showed that only 20% of users were planning to purchase a high-definition DVD player this year.
Car security systems have made it almost impossible for thieves to break in via traditional methods but thieves have started to utilize laptops to break into these security systems. It takes up to 20 minutes to overcome such an obstacle, and even high profile celebrities like David Beckham have not been spared. He has lost a couple of BMW X5s over the last 6 months via this method. Looks like car security manufacturers will have to come up with something unbreakable ala Oracle.
The sky's no longer the limit for Land Rover North America as an LR3 (Discovery 3 in Australia) has accomplished something no vehicle has ever done before.
In the second instalment of the 'Designed for the Extraordinary' marketing campaign which kicked off earlier this year, a 2006 LR3 (Discovery 3) is filmed boarding a C-130 Hercules cargo plane. Once airborne the Hercules crew used the LR3's navigation system to direct the plane from Nice, France to the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. At a height of 2,743 metres (9,000 feet), the navigation system equipped in the LR3 was able to accurately direct the plane to its destination.
The mid-engined coupe from Porsche, which was introduced to the market last November, was nominated "World Performance Car" of 2006 at last month's New York Motor Show. With this accolade, the Cayman S left an impressive line-up of 29 competitors standing.
In the eyes of the jury, which comprised 46 international trade journalists, the Cayman S impressed with its "perfect combination of outstanding handling, looks and performance." With the Cayman S, Porsche has very successfully filled the gap between the Boxster and the 911 Carrera. "The 295-bhp coupe combines the balance of the mid-engined Boxster with the rigidity of the 911 coupe, while the sonorous flat-six engine delivers the uninterrupted power of a middle-weight," said the jury in its verdict.
This enthusiasm for the Cayman S, the manual version of which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and can reach a top speed of 275 km/h, can also be seen among customers. In the first four months since its market launch, almost 6,000 vehicles were delivered worldwide.
Chrysler is looking into using Chery Automobile to assemble a small car for the international non-US market. The car will be sold under the Dodge or Chrysler brand. This would allow Chrysler and Dodge to enter third-world markets like South East Asia, which are not big fans of Chrysler's big cars with huge fuel-guzzling engines. Daimler Chrysler already has an existing partnership with a Chinese company, Beijing Automotive Industry Corp. The joint venture assembles SUVs for Daimler Chrysler and recently the Mercedes Benz E-Class. But the JV company lacks experience and skills to manufacture small cars, which Chery has. Chrysler could be seeking to produce the Dodge Hornet concept, a small B-segment vehicle smaller than Dodge's smallest car, the Dodge Neon. The Dodge Hornet Concept was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006.

Take a virtual journey to the bustling streets of New York in Bert Monroy: The Making of Times Square. Digital painter Bert Monroy reveals how he created the minute details that build the impressive 108,000 x 21,600 pixels, 25-feet wide photorealistic portrait of this iconic intersection.
In this installment, The Tools, Bert demonstrates how he uses the brushes, filters, and textures in Photoshop to create everything from the trees in Central Park to the billboards on Broadway, and shares his techniques for keeping his project organized with layers and groups. He also touches on the importance of channels and channel calculations, and how the evolution of the tools in Photoshop from CS3 to CS5 shaped his work.
Now, patterns are fairly easy to create, but sometimes some patterns are little more complex, especially when they are interlocking patterns--patterns that run into each other rather than their normal step and repeat. One such pattern is bricks. We are going to come in here and look at a brick wall, real close here, and there is a brick wall right there, and those bricks are interlocking into each other. Let's go in there and create a brick pattern. You need symmetry, so I am going to go in there and I'm going to turn on my grid.
And what's going to happen is our bricks are going to be the size of one of these little blocks here. I want the subdivisions to represent the grout in between the bricks, so I'm going to increase the number of subdivisions to a higher number, so they become little tiny ones. You can see it back here, and I am going to go in there and change it. Another thing to keep in mind is that you need perfect symmetry. So, in order to get that symmetry, I'm going to use an odd number. And it might seem odd at first, but you'll understand it as we start to create this pattern.
So, I used 11, which gave me enough of a size for that grout between the bricks. So, I click OK. Now, I am going to zoom in to see my bricks right here. In a layer, I am going to create the first brick. I am going in here and select a section. You can see, it's taking up four blocks down, and I am going to go and pick a color for my brick. A little redder and we will pick a color like that right there. And I am going to go ahead and fill that in the layer with that color, Foreground Color. Do it.
So, now I'm going to grab this and I'm going to copy it straight over, leaving one subdivision in between. There is my grout. Now, the reason for the odd number is that I can now duplicate this and center it underneath the other two. There is the reason for that odd number, see? Because I have five on this side, five on that side and that odd number gets centered directly underneath the one above it. So now, what I am going to do is create my pattern. That's it.
That's all I need for the pattern is three bricks. And I select it like this. Now, you will notice that my selection is such so that it's flush up here. The step and repeat, it needs a grout up here, there is the grout up on top. And it's flush here. There is the grout on this side. I have five sections here. The six that the missing are right there. So, now I can turn off my background, so I ensure that I have transparency in between and I define my pattern. It is that simple.
Go in there and call it 'brick'. Make it happen. Now I can just throw these away. I don't need them. And I can pull back a bit. And what I will do now is I am going to turn off the grid. I don't need to see it anymore. And in my background here, I'll put some color in the background. We will get some color for the grout. Let's just say we want to grout to be this little beige-y color like that. I am going to go ahead and fill it with that, and I will give it some noise, Add Noise.
In this case, I am going to say non-monochromatic, so it will introduce a few other little tones in there, and I'll just kind of bring it up to about 8, right there, and I've got this nice little fine grit to it back there. Or you might want to have a little more grit to it, so let's go with a 12. There. Then in this layer here, I will create my pattern. So I am going to go ahead and say fill that with the pattern, and there is the bricks we just created. Click OK and there we see our bricks, which I'm now going to go in there and give those noise.
We will add noise to that. This time, we will say Monochromatic and bring it out to about say 8, so we just get a little fine grain in there. Click OK and we have the bricks. Now, we will take this a step further. You can double-click on it to bring up the Layer Styles and we will give the bricks a little drop shadow, and we will give it a little Bevel and Emboss, which will just kind of bring up the depth a little bit. Bring down the Size to soften it up, so we have these nice little bricks coming out of the wall. But sometimes you have something that's a little more complex.
Pulling back on here, we have another brick wall right over here. Now, in this low-res version, we really can't quite make it out, so I do have a high-res version of that section right here, so you can see that. There we these brick pattern. Now, here we see that the bricks are separated by a row of small half-bricks, and also, this building is older, so you see that the bricks seem to have a little wear and tear on them, a little aging to them. They're a little more broken up. So, that requires a whole other type of a pattern-- something that where you won't really see the pattern, but you will see the damages in the bricks, and so on.
You can see that some bricks are discolored more than others and so on. Let's go and see how that starts out. That starts out this way. I created four little bricks, and each one is different, as you can see. I can take those bricks now and I can duplicate it and the duplicate, I will bring down and center it below, bringing up a little bit, and those I will do maybe a Flip Horizontal or a Flip Vertical-- anything to start making them look different. Now, you know that yeah, well, this guy looks like that guy, but he is reverse.
You can take individual bricks within this group and start to break them up. What happens at the end is that you end up with a pattern like this. Here is the basic pattern, so you see that there is a lot more than the three bricks we used before, because that way we are going to get enough variety in here so you are not going to see it. There is the row of half-bricks, which are also varied in shape along the top. Now the symmetry is perfect. You have a pixel right here. You have got two pixels between the others. So, that one pixel combined with this one pixel will give us the two pixels on either end here, so it will be even with these bricks here.
We are missing this little chunk over here. There it is. So, this is cut at a very precise spot, so that the step and repeat will be seamless. Taking this into a brick pattern will complete the whole scene. Let's go and see what that will look like. So, here we see the grout, and there we see the pattern of irregular bricks in which each brick was handled separately, so I can go in here and with a Dodge & Burn tool I can go in here and just lighten this one brick up.
Let's go to the brick layer, and we will lighten this one up a little bit, right in there like that, and maybe we will darken this one, and so on. So, we added variety to the entire brick pattern, so it starts to look like a wall that's fairly irregular and worn by the elements and so on. And we have a larger section of that pattern, which was then used for the building that we see in Times Square. It was reduced heavily to bring it down to fit the actual scene, and there you can see how a complex brick pattern can easily be created.

Judge told killer was mentally ill
Posted: November 26, 2009|
GUILTY: How we reported Sabina Eriksson's trial in September.
KILLER Sabina Eriksson who stabbed a 54-year-old man to death will learn her fate today.
The 42-year-old Swede stabbed Glenn Hollinshead four times at his home in Duke Street, Fenton, on May 20 last year.
She denied murder, but pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility at Nottingham Crown Court in September.
A hearing to decide her sentence began at Luton Crown Court yesterday and will conclude today.
Prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC told sentencing judge Mr Justice Saunders that Eriksson, pictured, a mother-of-two, came to England with her twin sister Ursula from her home in County Cork, Ireland, on Saturday, May 17 last year.
The sisters boarded a coach to London but when it stopped at Keele Services they got off.
Instead of re-boarding, their behaviour attracted the attention of staff, who called the police.
Officers tracked the duo down to the M6 where they both cheated death by running across the motorway.
Ursula was knocked down by a lorry and seriously injured and Eriksson was knocked down by a car.
Despite being unconscious for about 13 minutes she got back to her feet and ran back on to the carriageway. She later struck a police officer.
Mr Hotten QC said: "There was a violent struggle. It took six people to arrest her."
Eriksson received minor injuries and was seen by several doctors who found nothing wrong with her physically or mentally.
On Monday, May 19 Eriksson appeared at North Staffordshire Magistrates' Court where she received one day's detention for assaulting a police officer and trespassing on the motorway.
It was considered served and she was released from court.
She met Mr Hollinshead as he walked home from The Royal Oak pub in City Road, Fenton, and stayed at his house.
At about 7.45pm the next day she stabbed Mr Hollinshead four times.
Mr Hotten QC said: "The force required to inflict these wounds was, at least, moderate force. There were no defensive wounds to the deceased."
Eriksson ran from the house with a lump hammer and was seen hitting herself on the head with it at the Heron Cross roundabout of the A50.
When paramedics arrived she jumped about 40ft on to the A50.
Mr Justice Saunders yesterday heard from two psychiatrists who have assessed Eriksson.
Both concluded she was suffering from a mental disorder during the M6 incident and the manslaughter. They also agree she is not suffering from any mental disorder at present.
Mr Hotten QC said on the diagnosis of one of the experts, Dr Carol McDaniel, there is a significant risk of Eriksson committing further offences.
Defence counsel Anthony Barker QC will mitigate today.

Green Island
This village's proposed 2013-14 budget of $3.08 million will stay below the state's 2 percent tax levy cap while cutting spending and giving employees a 3 percent raise.
"This is by far the leanest budget that we've ever had," Sean Ward, executive assistant to Mayor Ellen McNulty-Ryan, said Tuesday. The proposed spending for the fiscal year starting June 1 drops 2.48 percent, or $78,426, to $3,083,904 from $3,162,330 in the current budget.
The proposed tax levy climbs 1.8 percent to $1,905,545 from $1,871,852, or a $33,693 increase.
While the village has fallen below the 2 percent tax cap as required by the state, the tax rate is going up. The tax rate for next year will be $231.03 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. This is a 2.92 percent or $6.55 increase over the current tax rate of $224.48.
A residence with a typical assessment of $6,000 will see its village tax bill increase by $39.30. Water and sewer rates will remain the same.
Ward said village employees will get 3 percent raises after going without a raise the last two years. Trustees won't get any pay for the second year in a row. Ward, Chief Financial Officer John J. McNulty III and Village Attorney Joe Legnard will not receive raises.
The village again will not receive a municipal services agreement payment from the Green Island Power Authority. That was $328,694 the last time it was made, for the 2011-12 budget.
A public hearing will be 5:45 p.m. Wednesday at the municipal center, 19 George St. A board hearing will be conducted at 6 p.m. Wednesday on a local law that would permit overriding the 2 percent tax cap. Ward said this was planned in case it became necessary to override the cap.

Ever since its founding almost 30 years ago, Bloomberg LP has proceeded under the notion that there's a right way and a wrong way of doing just about everything journalists do — writing a headline, quoting a source, asking a question. As the financial news juggernaut prepares to dive into the murky depths of opinion journalism, you might expect a concession that some things are simply subjective.
You'd be wrong. Yes, Bloomberg View, the company's latest offering, will consist of commentary rather than straight news. But where other news organizations peddle cant and bias on their editorial pages, Bloomberg View will offer only "ideology-free, empirically-based editorial positions about the pressing issues of our time," in the words of Jamie Rubin, one of the service's two executive editors and a former assistant secretary of the State Department. (The other executive editor is David Shipley, former deputy editor of The New York Times's editorial page.)
But doesn't every editorial writer think that his arguments are rooted in impartial truth while the other guy's are nothing but wishful thinking? I asked that question of Bloomberg News editor in chief Matt Winkler. He told me that Bloomberg View will be "based on a sensibility that attempts at least to understand what are all the facts that we're dealing with when we bring our wisdom to an issue…to look at things as they are and then to come up with a solution to make them better. It's a realistic approach."
To the extent that Bloomberg View has — let's say "preferences" rather than "biases," shall we? — they will be those of the company's founder, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. In January of this year, Winkler, mindful that the company was soon to embark on a major expansion of its opinion operation, attempted to codify some of those preferences in the latest edition of "The Bloomberg Way," the best-practices guidebook issued to every employee. "As moral force makes journalism a calling for those who embrace it," reads the new edition, "the Bloomberg Way necessitates a respect for life, peace and harmony, education, family stability, social responsibility, transparency, free trade and free markets."
"It seemed to me, in the course of working on it, that all of us ought to be able to answer the question 'Why am I here?' and 'Why am I here now?' Winkler says of his decision to add the passage about values. "Those are all things I would consider consistent with the values of our founder."
That doesn't mean there won't be some room for discussion and even dissent. "Because our Bloomberg View editorial page, if you like, will embrace a diversity and variety of opinion," says Winkler, "it wouldn't surprise me if there are going to be some examples where there may be essays that are disagreeing, perhaps, with the founder." Winkler couldn't say whether Bloomberg View's commentaries will range beyond the company's traditional territory of business, economics and finance into hot-button cultural controversies such as gay marriage and abortion, nor could he say whether it will offer endorsements of specific candidates, as many newspapers do. "At this point, nothing has been discussed as to what, exactly, the subjects will be, other than that the mandate is to get going," he says.
He also declined to say how much the company, which will reportedly take in $7 billion in revenue this year, plans to invest in the new venture. "As to headcount, we're ambitious enough to want to address pretty much the world as we come to terms with it," Winkler says. "Rest assured Jamie and David will be able to create a staff. We're committed to doing it so that it is visible."
