Video: NYS, Senecas Reach Deal on Casino Dispute
NIAGARA FALLS, NY-- New York State and Seneca Nation of Indians have agreed to a multi-year casino deal.
The announcement was made Thursday afternoon in Niagara Falls.
Part of the deal at heart was the nearly $600 million in casino revenue owed to New York State from the Senecas.
With the deal, the WNY communities that have Seneca-owned casinos will receive 100% of the money that is owed to them.
Niagara Falls will receive $89 million, Salamanca receives $34.5 million and Buffalo will receive $15.5 million.
The Senecas had withheld the state and host cities' share of revenue from their casinos in Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Salamanca since 2009, saying New York broke a promise of gambling exclusivity by allowing video lottery terminals at nearby racetracks.
Now with plans to allow even more casinos in the state, Cuomo last month struck deals with the Oneidas and Mohawks to settle land claims and keep competition away from their casinos.

Each year, 18 to 22 graduating high school seniors and 20 to 26 transfer students are selected to receive Terry Scholarships to support their attendance at UTSA. Terry Scholarships are awarded to UTSA students who graduate from Texas high schools or transfer from Texas colleges and demonstrate promise of future leadership. The goal of the Foundation is to assist these students in developing their future and the future of those around them.
The principal selection criteria are demonstrated potential and financial need. The Terry Foundation hopes that Terry Scholars will have a significant impact on the future leadership of the state and nation.
Terry Transfer Scholars receive $16,000 per year for up to 3 years. The amount of a Terry award for an incoming high school student is determined by the Terry Foundation. For new freshmen, the Foundation takes into account the student's and parents' financial resources and provides sufficient assistance beyond that to cover tuition, books, fees, and reasonable living expenses on campus. Awards average $72,000 over a four-year period. In all cases, renewal of the award beyond the first year is determined by the Foundation's Board of Directors.

Video: Raw Video: Wallenda Walks High Wire in Florida
SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Famed tightrope walker Nik Wallenda walked on a wire 200 feet over U.S. 41 in Sarasota, Fla., without a safety harness.
The Sarasota City Commission allowed him to do the stunt without a tether. Wallenda wore a tether for the first time last summer when he walked across Niagara Falls because the television network that was paying for the performance insisted on it.
Wallenda started his Sarasota Skywalk at Bayfront Park. The wire ended at the Marina Tower Condominium, and part of U.S. 41 was shut down during the walk.

|Try Santa Fe, New Mexico whitewater
rafting, Rio Grande & Rio Chama River Tours & Whitewater Rafting
with Kokopelli Rafting Adventures.
Raft and kayak the Rio Grande and Rio Chama rivers in New Mexico, experiencing thrills from Class IV whitewater rapids to serene Class I canyon floats. Kokopelli offers small custom trips, great food, personalized service, and exceptional guides.
Fe, New Mexico's River Trips Different include half-day to multi-day wilderness
expeditions on the wild and scenic Rio Grande and Rio Chama rivers. We raft
and kayak sections of the Rio Grande that range from the Colorado Border south
through The Taos Box, Racecourse,
and Bosque. These trips vary from thrilling Class IV whitewater rapids to
peaceful Class I canyon floats. Our professionally-guided tours focus on the
natural and cultural history of the region, with plenty of fun and adventure
mixed in. We provide everything you need for a comfortable outdoor rafting
experience--whether it's a half-day or multi-day New Mexico river rafting trip.
New Mexico's Whitewater Rafting Season starts in mid-April, as ski areas close down and the snow begins to melt. This is the beginning of the "High Water" rafting season. The early season until mid-June offers the biggest excitement and whitewater features. Increasing temperatures and declining water levels as summer progresses lead to New Mexico's technical late season runs. This is a great time for families to go rafting in New Mexico and lasts through the first week of September in most years.
Kokopelli Rafting's professional guides are the main reason that our customers return year after year. They have very diverse experiences rafting worldwide and use that experience to enhance your New Mexico rafting trips. For those interested in learning whitewater boating skills, please call us regarding our 2015 Whitewater Guide School or Instructional Kayaking on the Rio Grande.

Green Field Wallpaper Effects
May 16, 2007 | 0 comments
Tips about how I made the Green Field wallpaper (see wallpaper).
Start with solid dark green color.
Create new layer, switch to Pen tool, make a leaf shape (it will look better a bit unsymmetric, so do not try to make it perfect symmetric).
Apply the following layer effects to the layer with leaf shape:
- outer glow – black, overlay, 50-70%, 10-15px
- inner glow – white, overlay, 20-40%, 15-25px
change foreground color to darker green (almost black), create new layer, and then, using same Pen tool, start drawing…
…until the leaf is ready!
Apply the following layer effects to this layer:
- blend mode = screen
- outer glow – black, overlay, 10-20%, 5-8px
Group the layers containing elements of leaf into one group. Now you need to make A LOT of copies. Here's the hint to speed up process: select group, hold ALT key, and click-drag group to move it. Every time you drag it, holding ALT key, Photoshop will create a copy of group.
After each 15-20 copies, hit Ctrl-T, rotate and resize….
…once again, make 15-20 copies, rotate, resize, make 15-20 copies, rotate, resize, etc…..
after about 30-40 minutes of copying, rotating and resizing, entire image is filled with leaves and no background is visible.
Merge all layers and groups into one layer (it is good idea to save backup PSD file before that) and apply the following layer effect:
- gradient, radial, black-to-white, overlay, size:150%, opacity: 20-25%.
But what if I wanted to plant some flowers into the wallpaper? Easy!
Create new layer, set foreground color to white, switch to Pen tool, and draw shape similar o this.
Switch to Pen selection tool (A), select shape, copy (Ctrl-C), paste (Ctrl-V), rotate 180 degrees, move down.
Then, you might already guess… select all, copy, paste, rotate, select all, copy, paste, rotate, select all, copy, paste, rotate, select all, copy, paste, rotate! (Hint – hold SHIFT while rotating).
Apply the following layer effects:
- bevel: shadow = black, opacity: 10-15%
- outer glow: black, 15-20%, 2-3px
Duplicate this layer, rotate, resize…
…repeat, repeat
Our flower need special leaves for it too. You can use the original layer you created for a leaf in the beginning of this tutorial. Duplicate it, paste in the layer under flower layers…
copy, paste, rotate, repeat
Duplicate layer, rotate, resize! (I also made shape color a bit lighter).
Another part of flower – in new layer, draw a curved line using Pen tool. then – surprise! – copy, paste, rotate, repeat!
The flower is ready!
Group all layers containing parts of flower into one group, and then – i bet you know! – duplicate, move, resize, rotate, repeat!
I also wanted to create special version of wallpaper with berries instead of flowers. Here's how: set foreground color to red, switch to Shape tool, select Ellipse tool, draw circle (hold SHIFT to make it proportional).
Apply the following layer effects:
- gradient: linear, white-to-black, overlay, 10-15%
- outer glow: black, overlay, 30-40%, 4-6px
create new layer, set white color, switch to Brush tool, select small hard brush, put one small dot on top of circle. Then, create new layer, set its blend mode to overlay, select larger softer brush, put another dot on bottom of circle, then hit Ctrl-T and resize it horizontally (so that is it ellipse, not circle).
In another new layer (with blend mode set to overlay and opacity set to 40-60%), use black and white small brushes to give more 3D look.
Group all these layers into one group, and then…. (chorus) – duplicate, move, resize, repeat!
Berries need their own leaves too. You already know how to do them, so here are a bit different shapes to create for them…
… this step is also the same as in the beginning of the tutorial (creating leaf)…
and again… duplicate, move, rotate, resize, repeat…
In new layer, add a shadow with large black brush.
The last thing to do is…. Duplicate! Move! Resize! Repeat!
That's all! Thanks for your time.
Green Field wallpaper (see wallpaper).

Clippers 90, Lakers 82
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Thu, 04/05/07, 09:29am:
The Clippers came into last night's game with a massive advantage in the frontcourt. With Kwame Brown out, the Lakers had to start Bynum up front, hope for some quality post defense from Lamar Odom, and pray that Ronny Turiaf could give them anything down low. What did the Clippers do? Go to Elton and Chris Kaman to the tune of 17 shots apiece. Punching it into Kaman early always presents risks because, well, let's face it, the guy is capable of missing five early layups. The subsequent meltdown is never pretty, and when it's all over, Tim Thomas has logged 32 minutes, which is never a good thing. So when the Clips take the court and Kaman amasses a nice 3-4 FG before the first timeout, things look good for the Clippers.
Here's what establishing Chris Kaman can do for you:
- Creates impossible decisions defensively down low for most teams in the league. Elton's line doesn't look all that pretty, but he recognizes the double-team early all night, and makes some solid passes out of the post[1], the nicest at the 7:23 mark in the first where he finds Kaman on the opposite block. Right there? That's where the Clippers are impossible to defend. If Brand can pass out and Kaman can execute, the Clippers instantly become the team they were in May of last year.
- Opens up the perimeter for the jump shooters. The Clippers have been hot from the arc the past couple of weeks, but by and large, they'll earn their living from about 18 feet. The only way to work open shots from that range is either to space the floor PHX-style [force the opponent into the whack-a-mole strategy on the perimeter] - but the Clippers aren't a great passing team - or draw the opponent's defense below the stripe by pounding it into the post. This, of course, requires an effective Kaman.
- Creates nightmare matchup problems on the switch. When you go with one of those small lineups, you can never really force the matchup issue with the opponent. They never have to worry about Smush Parker drawing Chris Kaman. Establishing your big, mobile center presents nothing but bad choices for the opposing defense. If they switch Walton onto Kaman, then what do they do about Maggette? He's far too quick not to exploit a slow rotation. If they double Kaman off the screen, then Hart or whoever gets a clean shot. Obviously, leaving Elton isn't an option.
See what this does?
There were a couple of other pleasant oddities last night: Did Cat Mobley hit 7-11 from the field for 18 points, with seven dimes thrown in? Really? That was the quietest 18-5-7-2-2 [only 1 turnover] I've ever seen. What 18-5-7-2-2 means is that a guy is active pretty much every possession.
At the beginning of the 2nd quarter, Dunleavy fielded a lineup of Ewing-Mobley-Ross-Thomas-Kaman - the three best perimeter defenders on the team accompanied by the two biggest guys on the roster. The Lakers don't score until the 7:54 mark[2]. Then Bryant returns, heats up, and that's over.
Check out the FGM distribution: Seven each for Kaman and Mobley, six each for Brand and Hart, along with five for Maggette [along with his 71-78 night from the line].
Okay, the final 4:47 of the game, when the Clippers extend their meager 79-78 lead to eight with an 11-4 run. Chris Kaman enters the game for Tim Thomas:
- After Hart draws a foul off the ball from Vujacic[3], he sinks two.
Clippers 81, Lakers 78 [4:47]
- Bryant brings the ball up for the Lakers - even with Jordan Farmar[4] having just checked in for Vujacic. He gets a quick screen way up top from Bynum. With Kaman backtracking and in trouble, Bryant pulls up at the top of the circle for a quick jumper. No good.
- Easy in, easy in: Mobley drops it into Kaman in the post, single-team by Bynum. Chris dances over to the left block, and late help from Farmar can't do much to deter the easy 6-foot hook.
Clippers 83, Lakers 78 [4:20]
- Bryant penetrates, then dishes it out to Farmar on the right arc. The Lakers have the floor spaced nicely. Farmar drops it into Turiaf, who's one-on-one against Brand on the right block. Clipperblog is saying to Jeff Pickett, "That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine," as Turiaf tries to work anything against Elton. Everyone else on the floor is solidly manned-up by the Clippers. With :09 on the shot clock, Turiaf spins baseline against Elton for a turnaround jumper. Maggette skies for the rebound.
- Maggette delivers a sloppy entry pass into Kaman in the post, but Bynum bails out the Clippers by fouling Kaman from behind. Kaman hits one of two.
Clippers 84, Lakers 78 [3:47]
- The Lakers work it into Bryant in the mid-left post against Cuttino Mobley. Bryant backs him in, then muscles his way into the paint, then pumps as the entirety of the Clippers' defense collapses on him. He goes up for a wild shot, slides to the floor, but misses. There isn't contact. Bryant doesn't even whine about it.
- We love this set. Inside out: Maggette-Brand-Maggette-Brand. Elton does his thing on the left block. A beautiful turnaround jumper over Turiaf.
Clippers 86, Lakers 78 [3:12]
- Coming out of a timeout, Odom gets the ball up top. After an immediate screen from Bryant, Lamar wastes no time moving to his left[5]. A strong drive results in a goal-tend.
Clippers 86, Lakers 80 [3:00]
- Another nice set, though this one fizzles at the last instant: Brand holds it against Turiaf off the left block. Hart, who's been standing way up top, makes a strong dive toward the hoop. Brand, who has only Turiaf on him, is able to zip the pass into Hart, but Farmar does a nice job recovering and blocks Hart's layup.
- Lately the Clippers have been defending the S/R as well as I've seen them, and this defensive set is perfect. On the left side, Bryant and Odom can get nothing for each other against Elton and Cat. The Lakers swing it right side. Turiaf tries to free up Walton with a back screen, but Maggette fights through it with no problem. Turiaf then sets another - this one on Hart for Farmar. No dice, because Kaman slides up instantly. Then, Kaman and Hart recover seamlessly. Farmar ends up launching a lousy 13-footer. No good. Farmar follows the shot, but bounces the ball off his leg for the turnover.
- The give-n-go on the left side with Elton and Maggette. As Elton hands the ball off to Corey, moving baseline, Turiaf steps in to draw the charge. It's Maggette's fifth personal foul. Dunleavy goes to the offense-defense Maggette-Ross switch.
- The Lakers clearly feel that Odom-off-the-dribble is their best bet. It works again, this time Odom starting on the right wing against Elton, then driving left through the lane. Jason Hart doesn't stay home on Farmar, but never really helps either. Odom draws the foul on Elton, then hits both.
Clippers 86, Lakers 82 [1:58]
- Brand-Maggette left side. As Elton holds it against Turiaf, Corey creates room with a nice curl move, steering Walton into Brand. Brand kicks it out to Maggette in the left corner, but Corey misses the 17-footer.
- Odom brings it up right side, drawing Maggette in transition. The Clippers are a little discombobulated defensively. Brand then quickly realizes that Walton is trailing the play and immediately picks him up and closes just as Luke goes up for the 3PA. No good. Rebound Kaman.
- Maggette brings it up left side and quickly dumps it into Brand against Walton. Brand kicks it back out to Maggette who has a wide open 17-footer. Corey is as surprised as anyone, and with too much time left on the clock, he hesitates, enough that Lamar closes. As he does, Corey penetrates the lane, loses the ball, but is bailed out by a foul call on Turiaf. Strange play. It's tempting to question Maggette for passing up a wide-open jumper, but it was awfully early in the possession. Upon further review, the iffy foul call on Turiaf was the right one. Corey, having misses his previous four FTAs, hits both.
Clippers 88, Lakers 82 [1:12]
- Ross is now on Bryant, as Odom brings it up again. More Odom off the dribble - this time against Cat. It's worth stopping for a sec to recognize just how effective Cuttino Mobley has been all over the court for the better part of a month now. Mobley has a 6' 10" freak homing in on him in an open halfcourt set here and what ultimately happens is that Odom picks up his dribble in the left corner, far, far away from where he needs to be, after Kaman has come over to help Mobley seal him off. Odom has to kick the ball way, way out to the top of the arc. It comes this close to being tipped away by Maggette, which would've resulted in a breakaway. Instead, Walton picks it up, heaves up a 25-footer. No good. The long rebound goes to Hart. On the possession, Bryant never touches the ball.
- 0:54 seconds left. Maggette holds the pumpkin against Walton way up top. As Maggette takes his first step, Walton falls to the floor. Corey takes advantage of the clean lane and quickly penetrates. As the defense begins to collapse, Corey dishes it off to Elton left side. Turiaf recovers. Corey moves over to the left corner, where he's felt comfortable all night; Elton finds him over there. Corey misses the 17-footer, but Kaman comes down with the rebound at 0:39. Big.
The Clippers reset with Mobley holding it forever against Bryant on the right arc. Mobley puts a sick move on Bryant, loses him, dribbles unmolested into the paint. The instant Turiaf collapses, Cat finds a wide open Elton on the left side. Elton has all day, and nails the 12-footer.
Clippers 90, Lakers 82 [0:25]
The Lakers could never find Bryant in the closing five minutes. Credit Cat, Ross, the interior and weak side defense - essentially everyone -- which makes it impossible for the Lakers to work anything off the ball.
Crosstown rivalries are beautiful things for a city. They're rare, and when you consider that the four baseball rivalries are NL-AL affairs that never really capture the consciousness of the cities except for two interleague series a season, that leaves the Lakers-Clippers as the best one going. Clipperblog has an odd encounter on the way inside Staples. A guy, probably in his mid-20s, looks at my Clipper cap and says, "Why do you even bother, Bud? This is a Laker town!" It's tempting to say that this guy - blond, rosy, tall, faintly fratty - is the prototypical Lakers fan, but I don't think that's the case. Amidst the zillions of people who are standing outside the gate waiting, I can't figure out why he chooses me. I mean, other than the cap, Clipperblog isn't rocking any conspicuous gear.
At any rate, Clipperblog answers, "Soooo...popularity should dictate devotion? Is that what you're saying?" Not exactly the zippiest retort, but whatever. Needless to say, this elicits a blank stare from the guy. There are a lot of good reasons to be a Lakers fan, but volume of support isn't one of them, right?
[1] Take a look at Elton's game log when you have a chance. His assist totals confirm that his passing out of the double-team has become really proficient.
[2] Yeah, I know Bryant isn't on the floor, but still...one of the things a defensive second team can do is shut down the other team's offense entirely. Whatever the Clips can pick up on the offensive end [in this case, a couple of Mobley goals off the dribble, and two easy post moves for Kaman] is gravy.
[3] It's unlike Clipperblog to unleash wholesale insults, but is there a stupider player in the league than Sasha Vujacic? In a one-point game here with under five minutes remaining, he takes an inexplicable flop to the floor while Hart tries to move through the lane. Why would any basketball player with any sense do that? The refs are forced to make a call and they make the right one.
[4] The 2004 Southern California Jewish Athlete of the Year.
[5] Go figure.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
On Jan. 17, organizers in Castle Valley kicked off the American Cancer Society's 2007 Relay for Life activities during a ceremony at Castleview Hospital.
The kickoff, hosted by team recruitment chair Ruth Metzger, was scheduled to target team leaders for early registration.
"We are halfway to our goal of 50 teams for this year's event. And for that to happen this early in the year just amazes me," said Metzger.
During the kickoff session, Barbara Piccolo shared her cancer survivor's story and Metzger outlined the theme for the 2007 event, which is "field of dreams."
The theme will be highlighted by giving each relay group the name of a professional baseball team.
The event will be presented at the College of Eastern Utah's Bunnell-Dimitich Athletic Center track on June 15 and June 16.
But according to Metzger, a significant amount of work must be completed before the relay.
The captains for the local relay teams are required to attend four meetings at the hospital classroom.
The team captains' meetings are scheduled on Feb. 8, March 1, April 5 and June 7.
The captains will also be charged with recruiting between nine and 15 individuals for their teams.
After selecting the members, it is suggested that captains meet with teams and challenge the groups by providing incentives to promote competition as well as set a fundraising goal of at least $1,000.
A team's money will be dedicated to someone who has or who has had cancer.
Team and individual fundraising events are the largest sources of income for Relay for Life. The activities typically account for around 85 percent of the net income for the event.
Each participant in a relay is asked to raise at least $100 in donations in the months leading up to the event.
The American Cancer Society recommends that participants start recruitment with family and friends.
"Relay is for everyone, and you don't have to be athletic to participate," said Metzger.
The captains handbook indicates: "People will be walking, running, strolling, dancing, and wheeling around the track. You may be surprised that some of your friends and co-workers have a connection to cancer and a motivation to get involved that you would never know about until you ask."
Arranging a presentation at work is also something a team captain may do.
"The majority of current relay participants heard about it through work. A presentation is a good way to give your co-workers the opportunity to get involved," reported the captains handbook.
Fundraising activities that have been conducted in the past for Castle Valley's Relay for Life include raffles, bake sales, spaghetti dinners, barbecues and yard sales.
"The Eastern Utah Community Credit Union has a yard sale every year, and I am just amazed by the amount of money they earn," said Metzger.
All proceeds generated by the Relay for Life Cancer Society. The funds are divided into four key areas in the fight against cancer.
The four key areas include:
Research, the society is the largest source of non-profit, non-governmental cancer research funding in the United States, investing about $130 million each year. The society has funded 38 researchers that later went on to win the Nobel prize.
Education, following the societies wellness and cancer detection guidelines can save lives. They publish educational materials and programs on early detection and prevention of cancer for communities, schools, physicians, and patients.
Advocacy, the society fights for life saving laws to increase federal research funding, reduce tobacco use, promote early detection of cancers, improve access to and coverage of care, and support cancer patients.
Service, the societies provide many patients and family support services to help people with cancer during and after treatment. Anyone, anywhere can access cancer information and support from the society at www.cancer.org.
Participants in the relay are welcome to camp on the field of the track as the event lasts for 18 hours. "We would like to see at least one member of your team on the track for the entirety of the event," said Metzger. Restrooms for those camping will be provided by the BDAC.
"I would like to thank everyone that has signed up so far, and encourage anyone who is interested to join us in this wonderful event," concluded Metzger. Those wishing to participate may contact Ruth Metzger or Michele Gabb at (435) 820-4920.

Psalms 91:15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him.
Psalms 91:16 With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

FREEPORT, Maine (NECN) - Maine-based L.L. Bean created a limited edition tote bag to benefit victims of the Boston Marathon bombings -- and it took just hours to sell out of them.
The One Fund Boston Tote was made from a tarp used to protect the Fenway Park infield and has The One Fund Boston logo on it. All profits go to The One Fund Boston, which helps bombing victims and their families.
L.L. Bean produced 3,500 of the bags, which sold for $49 each.

I discovered this for myself today, but it has been getting around earlier this year.http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15799
No need to panic... yet.Search Amazon for dimethicone and several barrier cream products come up, some are even marketed to athletes.
That sucks. Glad Daryl decided not to take me up on my offer of a free tube - I still have 3 tubes of the old stuff. I'll be hanging on to that.....
Doug, I'll take two of them. Daryl
"Doug, I'll take two of them. Daryl":-)Did you ever order any? If so, did you get the old stuff or the new stuff?
Ebay and some online stores still have the dimethicone stuff. Be careful when ordering...that they don't sell you the skin glide without dimethicone, if you don't want it.Maybe it is an attempt to go greener and get rid of the parabens ingredient, as stated on the latest packaging.

I don't know anything about this product, just searched roadrunnersports because several cities, including Portland, have them.http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/BLS104/2toms-sport-shield-rollon-15-ounce/Ingredients: Dimethicone, Aloe Vera Extract, Vitamin E
I just ran up to my local REI. Knowing that the folks who work at such stores aren't that disciplined about following FIFO principles, I checked all of the tubes on the rack. The first four were the new mix, the back three were the old mix, so I snagged the back three! Should have enough to last me for a few years now.
Doug,I did get some and have been trying it.I believe I got the new stuff.Just kidding about wanting two tubes. I'm very happy with the Two Toms stuff I mentioned in my original post. Daryl
Dimethicone, Aloe Vera Extract, Vitamin ETwo Toms Sportshield lists the above ingredients.It feels like silicone when I put it on and their website says it is a silicone based product.
Liquified Powder - doesn't anyone find this a hilarious (or absurd) bit of marketing spin?Cheers
Hi Roger. Yes, it does seem absurd. That is the first thing Body Glide changed. The product name was first changed to Skin Glide and then the ingredient change.
Two Toms comes in foil wrapped towelettes that weigh less than 9 grams each. I used one towelette on a four day backpacking trip. A tube of Body Glide weighs about 2 ounces.here

Daryl, What is dimethicone?It is my friend.No, really, what is it?See:hereThanks

(b) Availability of insurance for other properties
If on the basis of—
(1) studies and investigations undertaken and carried out and information received or exchanged under section 4014 of this title, and
(2) such other information as may be necessary,
the Administrator determines that it would be feasible to extend the flood insurance program to cover other properties, he may take such action under this chapter as from time to time may be necessary in order to make flood insurance available to cover, on such basis as may be feasible, any types and classes of—
(c) Availability of insurance in States or areas evidencing positive interest in securing insurance and assuring adoption of adequate land use and control measures
The Administrator shall make flood insurance available in only those States or areas (or subdivisions thereof) which he has determined have—
(1) evidenced a positive interest in securing flood insurance coverage under the flood insurance program, and
(2) given satisfactory assurance that by December 31, 1971, adequate land use and control measures will have been adopted for the State or area (or subdivision) which are consistent with the comprehensive criteria for land management and use developed under section 4102 of this title, and that the application and enforcement of such measures will commence as soon as technical information on floodways and on controlling flood elevations is available.
(d) Availability of insurance for multifamily properties
(1) In general
The Administrator shall make flood insurance available to cover residential properties of 5 or more residences. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the maximum coverage amount that the Administrator may make available under this subsection to such residential properties shall be equal to the coverage amount made available to commercial properties.

Experimental: Arm 1
Adults with post-stroke reading difficulties (phonological alexia), >3 months post-stroke, native English speakers, able to undergo an MRI scan.
Behavioral: One-on-one treatment of reading difficulties
Multimodal behavioral treatment focused on retraining sound to letter associations and skills in sounding out words when reading. Treatment has been pilot-tested in published papers since 1998.
Experimental: Arm 2
fMRI during reading pseudowords and during repeating pseudowords, as well as finger tapping (non-language task)
Radiation: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
fMRI during reading pseudowords and during repeating pseudowords, as well as finger tapping (non-language task).
Detailed Description:
The proposed study is a mixed-effects (single-subject ABA repeated-probe and small group elements) design with 90-120 hours of a modified multi-modal treatment of alexia replicated across up to 18 adults with post-stroke phonological alexia. The short-term goals of this research proposal includes the following: 1) determine if a modified multimodal treatment of phonological alexia can improve pseudoword reading skills (providing a basis from which training will also treat real word reading skills), 2) determine if a modified multimodal treatment of phonological alexia can improve real word reading skills, 3) determine how brain lesion extent and location relate to participants' response to treatment, and 4) identify relationships between changes in functional brain activity in specified regions of interest and participants' response to treatment.

By JULEE WEBBUSU Extension family finance intern
Although most changes required by health-care reform will take place in 2014, new rules starting on Jan. 1, 2011, will restrict what can be purchased with flexible spending account dollars, increase the pool of individuals eligible for health care insurance and open the way for free preventive care. Consider this information.
* Flexible Spending Account money can be used for grown children. Many employers will allow you to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses for a grown child up to 27 years of age (even if the child is not claimed as parent's dependent) with your FSA funds. Ask your employer about specific FSA rules.
* Beginning in 2011, you can no longer use pretax money from your employer's FSA to pay for over-the-counter drugs. However, these medications still qualify for reimbursement from your FSA if you submit a prescription with your receipt. Ask your doctor to write a prescription for over-the-counter drugs frequently used by your family. Contact lens solution, hearing aid batteries and diabetes supplies are still eligible without a prescription.
* Carefully plan the timing of elective procedures. Some employers allow employees the opportunity to contribute a maximum of $5,000 to a Flexible Spending Account. In 2013, the ceiling will be $2,500.
If your employer allows a grace period to use or lose your pretax FSA, you may want to consider planning an expensive elective surgery sometime in the first three months of the year. Let's say you are planning laser eye surgery, and your employer allows a "use it or lose it" grace period ending on March 15.
If you plan your eye surgery in the first two-and-a-half months of 2012, you can use your available FSA savings from 2011 plus your full FSA allocation for 2012 to pay for your surgery. You can use this same tactic to combine leftover 2010 FSA funds with 2011 FSA dollars for medical expenses incurred by March 15, 2011. Check your employer's plan for details and rules.
* Take time for preventive care. If you or your family members enrolled in a new health plan on or after Sept. 23, 2010, the plan will be required to cover recommended preventive services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance or deductible. These services may include depression screening, diet counseling for adults at higher risk for chronic disease, alcohol misuse screening and counseling, and obesity screening and counseling for all adults.
Visit www.healthcare.gov for additional information on these and other health care rules.

Blanket Cape
For the weekend, embrace the outdoorsy aspect of a blanket cape with a slouchy knit hat and denim overalls. The look reads relaxed, yet still on trend.
Brixton Heist Beanie ($18) in Black; Ralph Lauren Black Label Laird Cape ($2,998) in Black Emerald; BDG Denim Overalls ($69) in Rinsed Denim; Joe's Jeans Rolled Tux Tee Shirt ($88) in Cloud; Vince Camuto VC Signature Rekha Heels ($250) in Black Patent.

Knit Cape
Throw on a cozy knit cape in lieu of a chunky sweater. The poncho-esque piece serves as the ideal lightweight layer over worn-in denim and a swingy skirt.
Gap Sweater Zip Cape ($70) in Cashew Crunch; Levi's Authentic Trucker Jacket ($58) in Rosebud Blue; M Missoni Knit Top ($495, 714.641.3170, similar style here); Surface to Air Plaid Tate Skirt ($250) in Black; HUE Basic Anklet Socks ($7) in Black; Coach Hattie Booties ($298) in Dark Ginger.

Dramatic Cape
A cape that hits below the knees mimics the drama of a menswear-inspired coat. When working with so much material, the key is to keep the items underneath simple and structured, hence, the crisp button-down and skinny jeans. To offset the look's borrowed-from-the-boys feel, finish with a strong heel.
Rodebjer Cikoria Cape ($848) in Camel Peach; Rachel Comey Pillar Stripe Mere Shirt ($242, similar style here) in Blue; BLK DNM Jeans 22 ($190) in Staple Grey; Tibi Vera Boots ($575) in Black.

Evening Cape
For a modern play on the tuxedo suit, let a sleek black cape double as your blazer. Unexpected additions, like a felt hat and embossed pants, give your look that immediate cool factor.
Janessa Leone Angie Hat ($150) in Black; BCBGMAXAZRIA Upas Cape Jacket ($248) in Black; LNA Camino Chiffon-Trimmed Slub Jersey Top ($55) in White; Maje Combo Skinny Embossed Detail Pants ($390) in Black; Bones and Feathers Collective Fox + Chain Necklace ($165); Schutz Gilberta Pumps ($200) in Black.

Trench Cape
The timeless trench cape lends itself to a myriad of styling options, but our favorite is contrasting its classic nature with more daring, of-the-moment pieces. A patent leather skirt and leopard heels act as the ying to the coat's very sophisticated yang.
Burberry Brit Cape ($1,195, similar style here); Tibi Color Block Turtleneck ($275) in Black; Iris & Ink Textured Vinyl Skirt ($130) in Black; Schutz Nina Heels ($220, 212.257.4366, similar style here)
