BUFFALO, NY - The Erie County Comptroller is firing a shot across the bow of the County Executive.
Stefan Mychajliw sent out a press release on Tuesday morning, accusing Mark Poloncarz of failing to meet a legal deadline, to provide certain information in advance of the coming 2014 budget proposal.
The County charter says that by October 1st, the Executive shall submit for the Comptrollers review, a report including revenue and expenditure projections for the budget, even though the spending plan itself isn't actually due for another 2 weeks.
According to Mychajliw, the report was delivered to his office about 5 minutes before Tuesday's deadline.
However, he says the report was incomplete, missing a projection of property tax revenues.
The cover letter attached to the report from the administration, explains that the budget department is "still making adjustments...and as a result cannot provide the ...property tax revenue estimates at this time."
"We cannot look at and break down the numbers, without this specific revenue projection," Mychajliw told WGRZ-TV. "This represents the second biggest piece of the (revenue) pie when it comes to the county budget."
Mychajliw also noted, with perhaps some irony, that five years ago, when Poloncarz was the Comptroller, Poloncarz criticized then County Executive Chris Collins for essentially doing the same thing.
"We just want the County Executive to follow the same exact rules that he wanted his predecessor to follow years ago," he said.
The County Executive's Press secretary, Peter Anderson, told Channel 2 News that Poloncarz was "out of the office" and "unavailable" to answer questions regarding all this.
Anderson, however, e-mailed the following statement Wednesday afternoon :
"Unfortunately this is criticism simply for the sake of criticism from the Comptroller. Yesterday, my administration forwarded the Comptroller's office all the expense and revenue information as required by the Charter and Administrative Code, while assuring the public that this budget does not include any property tax rate increase. Any criticism now by Mr. Mychajliw is just feigning outrage to score some cheap political points during campaign season."
"The County Executive is not providing the information which he is charter mandated to do," Mychajliw said.
On his Twitter account, Poloncarz tweeted a message Tuesday, indicating that while the spending plan had not been finalized, there would be no increase in the property tax "rate" for next year's budget.
It should be noted, however, that even if - as Poloncarz says--the property tax :rate will stay flat, that doesn't mean your taxes won't go up.
The rate is the amount you pay per every thousand dollars of your assessed property value.
If you have been re-assessed in the past year, and if that assessment amount is higher, your taxes will rise as well.

A bullfight conjures many images, such as cheering crowds, brave matadors, and rushing bulls. A bullfighter earns respect and attention because, unlike most of the population, he dares to step into the bullring and face a bull. In the process the bullfighter asserts control over the body and controls the innate response to run and instead seeks to fight the bull. So when a bullfighter decides to run from a bull instead of fight it, albeit a natural evolutionary response, it becomes a newsworthy event.
A news report shows a video of a bullfighter who, took the traditional evolutionary route and fled from an attacking bull. Although running from bulls is a common practice for bullfighters when in a pinch, this event was particularly important. The news report explains that the bullfighter had been gored the previous year. So, after almost getting gored again by the bull the bullfighter made a run for it. This time around the bullfighter thought it best to get out and stop fighting the bull—in effect ending his career as a bullfighter.
Matsumoto and Hwang (2010) explain that the context of a bull rushing toward an individual should elicit a host of evolutionary responses. An emotion such as fear, manifesting itself as the bullfighter running from the bull, is part of a set of responses that occur. The fact that bullfighters train to control their fear and fight the bull, the authors argue, is part of an adaptive "open system" of emotional appraisal. Thus, making bullfighting possible as a counter-evolutionary practice. On the other hand, a bullfighter that takes the evolutionary route and runs is worthy of making the news.
Matsumoto, D. & Hwang, H.S. (2010). Judging faces in context.

Financial services organizations operate large, mission-critical networks that process seemingly endless volumes of sensitive information. The critical nature of these organizations makes them the target of attacks, ranging from denial of service to information theft, initiated by malicious insiders, organized criminal organizations, unscrupulous competitors, and even hostile nation-states. These attacks are extremely costly, resulting in regulatory penalties, class-action lawsuits, lost revenue, brand damage, and diminished shareholder faith.
McAfee financial services solutions help organizations build an extensible and holistic security posture that addresses regulatory mandates while delivering connected security for networks, systems, mobile devices, and data. By working with McAfee, financial services organizations can demonstrate compliance while safeguarding sensitive information, often contained within critical databases, and mitigating business and technical risks.

Although it may not always seem like it, Spring is finally here and that means that life in the natural world is beginning is to reawaken.
All around us, subtle changes are taking place that signal the beginning of the season. Western NY, well known for dramatic swings in weather, is still displaying some striking contrasts. Portions of the region are snow free, while other areas are still laboring under winter's tyranny. The fickle weather, however doesn't fool the life around us. Plants and animals, living in tune with rhythms unseen to man, are slowly emerging from their long winters slumber. Mark Carra is the Naturalist In Residence at Beaver Meadow Audubon Center in North Java." Nature really does understand the whole process. We always assume that it has to be a specific day with a specific temperature, they feel the changes, they know the lighting changes and all that. You know, the trees and everything is in tune to it all."
Carra says that trees and plants are often the earliest indicator that we are entering the warm embrace of vernal renewal.
" I usually look for willows, because willows often the buds will pop open and you'll see the different male and female flowers in their case, and you see the bright color of the pollen come out there , and know that the wind is going to carry that and that spring is on it's way."
Spring also prompts the emergence of mammals that either hibernate fully or slumber deeply. A remarkable example of that are bears. Not true hibernators, bears spend the winter in a deep sleep, relying on their amazing physiology to keep them healthy as they sleep for up seven months ! They even give birth and nurse cubs while enduring the winter protected in dens. Carra explains." Their heart rate doesn't appreciably go down in comparison, their body temperature doesn't go down. Bears don't lose much muscle mass in the wintertime, the reason is, they have a process in their makeup that allows them to literally make protein out of their urates, since they're not urinating, they use it to keep their muscle mass up, so that they don't appreciably lose any of their muscle mass. If you went to sleep for even days, you'd end up being as weak as could be, but they continue to maintain that body mass."
Birds are also easy to spot signs of spring. Even if they can't be seen, their joyous songs strike a chord that lifts any winter weary soul,says Carra." Just the sounds around us, hearing the Cardinals start to get interested in their mates and territories and all that, Red Wing Blackbirds are back and making all their noise along the edge of the pond out there, that wakes you up and makes you realize your problems maybe aren't so important."
WNY has a bounty of beautiful places to experience spring's gifts,and one of the best is Beaver Meadow Audubon Center in North Java, just a short drive from Buffalo, and one of the region's true jewels. The Naturalist is fortunate to live there year round." This place is high up, it's isolated, but yet it's near enough to Buffalo , I think it's just a beautiful place to be, I love living out here, I live for it."
So take a little time to look around, and breathe in this annual time of renewal. It's one that not only enriches the planet, but the human spirit as well,concludes Carra." You can't stay away from this, you need to be closer to nature, it's what makes us feel more human, I know that sounds a little counter-intuitive, but really, it's what makes us human, is being connected to the natural world."

In the wake of a humiliating defeat for gun-control advocates in the Senate last month, President Obama and a coalition of allied anti-Second Amendment extremists vowed not to give up the fight. Unlike its failure in keeping many promises, however, the administration is already making good on that particular lawless threat, seeking to bypass Congress and use "executive actions" to impose a controversial assault on gun rights and healthcare privacy through Kathleen Sebelius' Department of Health and Human Services.
If approved, the new "regulation" would — by executive decree — shred remaining federal privacy-protection laws keeping patient data confidential. The HHS's proposed rule would also, among other radical changes, encourage psychiatrists to report their clients to the FBI's background check system by waiving the legal prohibition on sharing private healthcare information contained in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
While the administration claims the scheme is aimed at keeping weapons out of the hands of "potentially dangerous" people, critics of the plan, and especially gun rights activists, see it as part of an ongoing effort to disarm increasingly wide swaths of the public. In a press release about the scheme, the Department of Health and Human Services said it was just part of Obama's "common sense plan to reduce gun violence." For opponents, however, the scheme is "crazy" — yet another backdoor assault on the rights of Americans as well as an attack on the Constitution and congressional authority.
According to HHS, privacy protections in HIPPA "may" be preventing states from reporting certain mental health data to the FBI's controversial National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). As such, the proposed new "rule," part of Obama's 23 unconstitutional "executive actions" attacking gun rights, would target over a dozen states that the Obama administration believes should be sending more names of "prohibited persons" to the federal government.
"In order to protect our children and communities, we must ensure that information on potentially dangerous individuals who are prohibited from possessing firearms is available to the background check system," HHS Secretary Sebelius said in a statement. "At the same time, it is important to note that the vast majority of Americans with mental health conditions are not violent and that those with mental illness are in fact more likely to be victims than perpetrators."

Whom Do You Want?
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 05/05/06, 02:36pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Now that the city's attention has turned away from scouring rhymingdictionary.com for a name for the Clipper-Lakers series and back toward the business at hand - Lakers at Phoenix, Saturday 1700 PDT - we Clipper fans may want to kick the tires a little and size up our Conference Semifinal opponent.
The case for the Lakers:
Whom do we want - the D'Antoni's or the D-Anti-toni's?
The case for Phoenix:
- If the formidable front line of Kwame Brown, Luke Walton and Lamar Odom is making life miserable for Phoenix's post defenders (is there such a thing?), imagine what two weeks of Elton Brand and Chris Kaman roosting in the box is going to be like. Throw in one of the better posting off-guards in Cat Mobley along with a specimen like Maggette and you begin to understand how the Clips decimated Phoenix at USAA on April 5.
- Pop quiz: The night of April 5, who started for the Clippers?
Incorrect. Here was Dunleavy's starting lineup:
PG Livingston
SG Ross
SF Radmanovic
PF Brand
C Kaman
Maggette and Mobley came off the bench for 29 minutes each with a brief spell from Singleton. Through circumstance and accident (Sam was out with a hyperextended forehead or something), the Clippers went long and fast defensively. And you know what?
It worked.
- Although most Clipper fans would be loathe to admit it, the most persuasive case for preferring PHX is:
Kobe Bryant isn't a Sun.
The case for the Lakers:
- As a Clipper season ticket holder, I'll attend Games 1, 2, 5 & 7 rather than games 3, 4, & 6. There's been a lot of talk this week about how a Clipper home crowd will break down: 50/50? 65/35 Clippers? When the presale went out to Clipper fans and they gobbled up all those lower bowl seats, did they pawn them off to Laker fans?
As my younger sister says, like I give a shit. A Clipper home game - whatever the split -- means more Asians, less silicone, more bitterness and fewer Ed Limato ex-assistants in the stands. Essentially, a Los Angeles the rest of us can tolerate.
- The Lakers outplayed Phoenix over the first four games because they recognized the one irrefutable variable of the series:
Lamar Odom was the biggest man on the floor.
I suppose Kwame has an inch on Lamar, but neither of them will be anywhere near the low block with Brand and Kaman on the floor. The best the Lakers can hope for is that Dunleavy inexplicably sends Chris roving on one of his ridiculous perimeter trapping expeditions, or that Phil can effectively draw Elton out to the corner spot to cover Lamar where either (a) Brand can get taken off the dribble or (b) Elton gets into foul trouble.
All those pass options the Lakers have had against Phoenix from anywhere on the court? They better get their fill tomorrow night because that shit is coming off the menu on Monday morning. The Clippers are too long, too big and too physical. Barring Kobe, there's no one the Clips need to double in the post - and that includes Odom. And the Lakers have no one on the wing that'll sufficiently spread the Clipper defense.
And though I know Denver had success on the offensive glass against the Clips, it appears as if that hole has been plugged and then some. Have you read an interview with a Clipper player over the least ten days in which that player - as if hooked up to a Pavlovian buzzer - hasn't mentioned boxing out?
The elephant in the room: What can Quinton Ross do on Kobe -- not only in limiting his output, but in cutting him off from the rest of the team?
Because that's the thing - Kobe will score on roughly 20 possessions. That's a given. But if you can limit his options by funneling him into the corner spot or stall him at the top of the circle, then the Clippers' size can take over the possession from there. And, sure, he's gonna hit a few contested 22-footers with the shot clock expiring. But I'd rather Kobe do that than find Walton at the weak side basket because Corey fell asleep hedging on Lamar.
- Brand v. Odom: What's the over-under for the first "...and these guys used to face each other in practice every day" chestnut? Either way, freeing up Elton at the elbow will indisputably be the focus of the Clipper offense. The Lakers were successful in rushing the Clippers into contested jump shots in their last meeting, largely because Dunleavy didn't account for Parker's length - which allowed him to handle the side screen roll switch onto Brand with ease. And when the Clips become inert in the halfcourt, it became a Vladfest of missed 22-footers because...well...he can shoot over Walton...theoretically.
A month later, the Clippers operate a far more versatile offense. When they want to spread the halfcourt, they have Sam, Mobley and Vlad. When they want to destabilize defenders, they come at you with Livingston and Maggette - or even let Cat back his defender down.
And, as always, they have the best two-man post attack in the league.
Side note: Anyone catch the TNT guys dogging Vic the Brick at the postgame press conference? I used to think Vic was an ass - a "feral Jew," I think were my exact words. But now I've decided that his act is so off-the-charts bad that it's sheer genius - Shag gold ushanka and all.

NRP Radar Network Continues to Thwart Oyster Poachers
11/26/2013 | Posted by kkingTags: Commercial, Oysters
Using its newest enforcement tool, Maryland Natural Resources Police detected two watermen encroaching on an oyster sanctuary in Tangier Sound and arrested them Monday for poaching.
William Cloyde Catlin, 64, of Upper Fairmount, and Irving Lee Catlin, 55, of Westover, were each charged with unlawfully harvesting wild oysters up to 150 feet inside a sanctuary. Seven bushels of oysters were returned to the sanctuary.
According to Maryland court records, William Catlin has a history of crab, oyster and fishing violations dating back to 1993.
An officer watched on his laptop as the cameras and radar units of the Maritime Law Enforcement Information Network (MLEIN) tracked the watermen crossing the boundary of the sanctuary set aside by the State for oyster population replenishment.
"MLEIN was a definite asset on the water and enhanced our ability to respond to the situation," said Officer John Bromley. "It was like having an extra pair of eyes on the patrol boat."
The incident began at about 8 a.m., when Bromley, aboard his patrol boat tucked in a cove of the Manokin River, watched a vessel make four passes into the oyster sanctuary in Tangier Sound, west of the Big Annemessex River. The vessel motored in a circular pattern, indicative of an oyster dredging operation.
The officer sped to the location as the work boat attempted to flee the sanctuary with its dredge still in the water.
The 2010 Oyster Restoration and Aquaculture Development Plan fostered by Governor Martin O'Malley added the sanctuary in Big Annemessex River to support the grassroots Marylanders Grow Oysters program. The restoration plan also contained a robust enforcement component.
Col. George F. Johnson IV, NRP superintendent, said MLEIN is beginning to get its sea legs in its first full season.
"When the Governor initiated his oyster recovery plan, enforcement was a huge component to assure the public that its investment would be protected," Johnson said. "MLEIN is helping us keep our promise to everyone who loves the Chesapeake Bay and its bounty and believes in its future. With continued use and enhancements, MLEIN's reach will grow. Poachers will learn that there is no where to hide."
In a separate incident, officers charged Shawn Michael Horney, 48, of Grasonville, with possessing a harvest containing 9 percent undersized oysters. Horney was stopped last Friday just outside Cuckhold Creek in St. Mary's County.
Court records show Horney was found guilty in 2009 in Queen Anne's District Court of possessing oysters before legal hours and operating without lights. In 2003, he was found guilty of possessing undersized oysters.
Earlier this month, Maryland State Police helicopters began surveillance flights with NRP officers aboard as observers to track vessels and direct patrol boats to the scene of illegal activity. The flights will run through the end of oyster season in March.

Log on to eHEAT, become a vendor, obtain user manuals, or find out about eHEAT development and the system.
Introduction to eHEAT for Vendors
Vendor Registration
Note: energy vendors must register to receive an Energy Assistance payment.
The Minnesota Energy Assistance Program (EAP) will stay the same, but how business gets done has changed with the launch of the eHEAT software on Oct. 1, 2004.
Electronic Household Energy Automated Technology (eHEAT) is an Internet-based data and payment management software. Energy vendors will experience changes primarily in three areas: receiving payments, returning refunds and providing consumption information.
EAP Service Providers will still take client applications, but payments will come directly from the state. Vendors should register with the Dept. of Finance to receive payments and to register with eHEAT. Vendors can receive payments faster by registering for direct deposit.
Vendors with Internet service can use eHEAT to find out if customers have applied for EAP, payment amounts and if they have applied for the Cold Weather Rule. Vendors will also be able to enter the customer's consumption information into the eHEAT system.
Vendors who do not have Internet service and who do not use eHEAT will receive a printed copy of customer payments. These vendors can also register for direct deposit.
The continued need for vendors and service providers to work together on behalf of the applicant will not change with eHEAT.
For additional information about eHEAT, contact your local service provider.
The launch of eHEAT in the fall of 2004 changed the way vendors work with the Energy Assistance Program (EAP) and Service Providers. The biggest change is vendors with Internet service will have direct access to the same eHEAT software EAP Service Providers (SPs) use.
There are three categories of vendors for EAP and eHEAT. They are:
Vendor Users,
Vendor Non-Users, and
Vendor without a vendor agreement. Vendors without a vendor agreement are an EAP issue, not an eHEAT issue.
Vendors and SPs will continue to work together on behalf of the EAP applicant and communicate about changes in EAP regardless of whether a vendor is an eHEAT user.
Vendors with Internet service can choose to be an eHEAT user. Vendors must register to use eHEAT. Download Registration form. Download the Vendor Manual Here.
As eHEAT users, Vendors can complete three activities: receiving payments, returning refunds and providing consumption information. They will have access to the most up-to-date information about customers' EAP applications, payment amounts and Cold Weather Rule application requests. To protect EAP applicant confidentiality, vendor access to eHEAT will be limited to vendor-related activities.
As of Oct. 1, 2004, all EAP payments will be made centrally by eHEAT through the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget. Vendor Users can download information about payments using eHEAT and upload information into their system, if a vendor chooses to do the programming. Vendors can also choose to receive payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Download the EFT application form from the right column. For more information go to the Department of Management and Budget.
This centralized payment system will simplify refunds. Vendor Users will refund any funds authorized to an account using eHEAT, but they will retain the cash using their own internal process. This is accomplished by reducing the next eHEAT payment issued to the vendor by the amount of the non-obligated cash they have on hand. When funding for the program year concludes, vendors will send refunds to the Minnesota Department of Commerce's fiscal unit (because there will be no EAP payments to offset the refunds).
Vendor Users will have a proactive role in providing consumption information. Vendor Users must open eHEAT and either upload or enter the data. The program will notify users of the need to enter consumption on a large scale or one-by-one. Status reports of this activity will be available to SPs on eHEAT.
In the future, the process to provide consumption information will be very different. In general, Vendor Users will download customer information and use their own procedures to record consumption use. Then they will upload consumption information. This can be done in large numbers or one at a time. Specific procedures for consumption will be available soon.
Vendor non-users will continue to complete most transactions by telephone or fax, on paper or electronically, on disk or by email.
Vendor non-users will receive a printed statement from the State containing the "check stub" information. Vendor Non-Users can also contact SPs who can access payment status in eHEAT. Vendor Non-Users can opt to receive payments directly to their bank account through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Vendors non-users can contact the SP by e-mail, mail or fax (to have something in writing) to make the refund entry in eHEAT and have the next payment adjusted by the refund amount. Once the program year's funds run out, payments go back to Commerce. Non-users cannot check this online or notify the SP online.
This year Service Providers will prepare an Excel spreadsheet for Energy Vendors containing household information for their EAP customers (with data on consumption, cost, fuel type, fuel use and dates). The spreadsheet can be sent to a vendor electronically (e-mailed or on disk) or printed and mailed. This spreadsheet replaces the "green bar" printout of EAP recipients' information that vendors received in previous years.
In the future, methods used by Vendor Users and Vendor Non-Users to provide consumption information will be very different. Vendor Non-Users will provide consumption information to Service Providers, who will enter it onto eHEAT. Specific procedures for consumption will be available soon.
All Energy Assistance Program (EAP) payments will be made by the Minnesota Management and Budget.
Have a signed vendor agreement with each Energy Assistance Service Provider in the service territory. Contact the local Energy Assistance Service Provider for your area.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate Publisher
I am not the biggest outdoor guy, but for the most part I would rather be hiking or riding my ATV around the desert or the mountains than watching a movie during warm and sometimes even cold weather. I have been that way since I was a kid.
Activity is an important part of my life. My long hiking days are behind me because a couple of bum knees are limiting my length of both travel and climbing ability. But by riding the machines, I can still be out there.
There are a lot of reasons people ride ATV/UTVs. Some do it to get to remote fishing or hunting spots. Others do it for the scenery and to look at the wild life. Still others do it just to ride and ride and ride. Finding the next challenging trail is the mantra.
I have done it for most of those reasons over the years. My life on motorized wheels began in 1965 on a Cushman Trailster on my dad's farm. He bought it for me when I was 14, because I nagged him to death about getting a "motorbike" of some kind. The first time I got on it I almost killed myself because I ran it into an old combine he had sitting at the side of the farm yard and one of the rods that were sticking out from the machine came about 5 inches from going through my chest.
As I moved up I went to small street bikes (when I got my license) and then in the early 1970s onto dirt bikes. My first true dirt motorcycle was a 1968 120 Kawasaki. After that came a procession of Japanese and Spanish motorcycles, with my two wheel career basically ending when I sold my OSSA Phantom for a song a number of years ago.
I went without for a few years, getting mad and then numb each time I saw a bike passing me on the road or tearing through the desert. I was relegated to a Jeep Wrangler, not a bad way to go, but not what I wanted to do. Then came the four wheelers. And since then I have been in love with those (although I secretly would still like to be on two wheels but no one in my family will allow me that because they fear old clumsy me might fall of and get hurt).
The years between mechanized travel were filled with lots of day hikes and backpacking. I love that just as much, but again age and poor joints make it more difficult than it used to be.
Last weekend I went out of the area to ride with some friends and ended up on the back side of Willard Peak in Box Elder County. The road goes to the top of the peak from Mantua, a beautiful little town that lies between Brigham City and Logan in Sardine Canyon. The day was magnificent as we started and my side by side climbed up every grade with ease. I had gone there the first time last spring on a weekday, and had been blocked from reaching the summit by snow banks. I had seen about four other machines that day.
Saturday was different. After reaching the summit of the peak and looking out over a smoke filled valley that contained most of the northern Wasatch Front and the Great Salt Lake, I noticed how many machines were coming into the parking lot at the viewpoint. I did about a mile hike, trying to head toward Ben Lomand Peak, but thought better of the trip. When I returned there were even more machines.
On the way back down the road we stopped for some lunch at a corner where the view of the Ogden Valley was tremendous. As we sat there and ate our sandwiches it seemed every kind of four wheeler, UTV, dirt bike and four wheel drive truck passed in a rush to the top. Not 30 seconds went by without some kind of machine going by.
The discussion turned to the way it used to be. It used to be quiet even on weekends. You would only see a few vehicles a friend said. There was sadness in that proclamation.
Machines have made the great outdoors accesible to many who would never have ventured into those same spaces only a few years ago. It has changed the nature of our recreation and how we see the mountains and deserts that surround us. We often hear laments about that we Americans are loving our national treasures in the outdoors to death. After seeing what I saw Saturday there may be some truth to that.
But how would one change it? In fact would one want to? We live in a country, unlike many others, where public land in the west is everyone's to enjoy. And why shouldn't the populace do that. People talk about the American dream. To some that is owning a house, getting a college education or owning a business. To me the American dream is having untold and literally unlimited country to see and the right to go see it. Unlike many states in the midwest and east and in many foreign countries, we have that ability here because the land is not almost all privately owned. Whether it be state or federal we have the right to be there, as long as we obey the rules.
I admit the crowded outback can be a dilemma sometimes. But when I spend a few days out on the San Rafael alone with my dog on my four wheeler in the early spring or in mid-winter and I only see one or two other souls in that time I realize that dream still actually exists.
We are lucky, those of us that live here, in this place, at this time.

Anyone in this region interested in forming a writing group? I live in Ankeny, but since I don't even see any groups here for Iowa, I'll stretch it out to the Des Moines area
I majored in English with an emphasis Creative Writing and am currently a member of F&SF Writers Workshop on google groups, which meets in Second Life. I have written the first draft of a Christian Fantasy called The Tsadakeen.
The Tsadakeen is a Christian Fantasy novel set in an alternative universe where their "fall" caused a virus that turned man into a hybrid of man and animal. These hybrids are called Shofar, and have discovered a mountain range full of the precious stone, moker, by which they enhance their magic and have developed advanced weapons. An unlikely hero, Orino, comes upon the prophesied scepter of righteousness. This scepter has seven jewels with different powers that help him and his new band of followers fight the newest and most dangerous invasion of the Shofar.
I hope to hear back soon. Des Moines could really use a Christian writing group!

The purpose of the program shall be to develop and implement management measures for nonpoint source pollution to restore and protect coastal waters, working in close conjunction with other State and local authorities.
(2) Program coordination
A State program under this section shall be coordinated closely with State and local water quality plans and programs developed pursuant to sections 1288, 1313, 1329, and 1330 of title 33 and with State plans developed pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended by this Act [16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.]. The program shall serve as an update and expansion of the State nonpoint source management program developed under section 1329 of title 33, as the program under that section relates to land and water uses affecting coastal waters.
(b) Program contents
Each State program under this section shall provide for the implementation, at a minimum, of management measures in conformity with the guidance published under subsection (g) of this section, to protect coastal waters generally, and shall also contain the following:

(A) those coastal waters where there is a failure to attain or maintain applicable water quality standards or protect designated uses, as determined by the State pursuant to its water quality planning processes; or
(2) Identifying critical coastal areas
The identification of, and a continuing process for identifying, critical coastal areas adjacent to coastal waters referred to in paragraph (1)(A) and (B), within which any new land uses or substantial expansion of existing land uses shall be subject to management measures in addition to those provided for in subsection (g) of this section.
(3) Management measures
The implementation and continuing revision from time to time of additional management measures applicable to the land uses and areas identified pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2) that are necessary to achieve and maintain applicable water quality standards under section 1313 of title 33 and protect designated uses.
(4) Technical assistance
The provision of technical and other assistance to local governments and the public for implementing the measures referred to in paragraph (3), which may include assistance in developing ordinances and regulations, technical guidance, and modeling to predict and assess the effectiveness of such measures, training, financial incentives, demonstration projects, and other innovations to protect coastal water quality and designated uses.
(5) Public participation
Opportunities for public participation in all aspects of the program, including the use of public notices and opportunities for comment, nomination procedures, public hearings, technical and financial assistance, public education, and other means.
(6) Administrative coordination
The establishment of mechanisms to improve coordination among State agencies and between State and local officials responsible for land use programs and permitting, water quality permitting and enforcement, habitat protection, and public health and safety, through the use of joint project review, memoranda of agreement, or other mechanisms.

A proposal to modify the boundaries of the State coastal zone as the coastal management agency of the State determines is necessary to implement the recommendations made pursuant to subsection (e) of this section. If the coastal management agency does not have the authority to modify such boundaries, the program shall include recommendations for such modifications to the appropriate State authority.
(c) Program submission, approval, and implementation
(1) Review and approval
Within 6 months after the date of submission by a State of a program pursuant to this section, the Secretary and the Administrator shall jointly review the program. The program shall be approved if—

Syracuse University football coach Doug Marrone was happy to be home for Christmas.
Marrone, a native of the Bronx, looked about as giddy as he ever has in his four-year tenure as the Orange head coach during the introductory press conference of Saturdays New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
The game, which will pit Syracuse against its former Big East rival, West Virginia (7-5 overall), is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.
Its one of those things, you do these press conferences, but I am jacked up about this. I mean I truly am excited about being here, Marrone said.
And why he shouldnt he be?
After last seasons well-documented collapse losing five straight games to end the season a game under .500 and not be eligible for a bowl the SU alum has his program back on track.
Syracuse went 7-5 overall and 5-2 in the Big East to earn a share of its fifth conference championship in its final season before moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Orange did so by reversing last seasons tailspin. Marrones club went 5-1 in its last six games, making it one of just two FBS teams to start the season 2-4 and finish with at least seven wins.
In its last six games compared with the first six, Syracuse averaged an additional 13 points per game and 55.8 total yards per game. It finished with 10 less turnovers and nine more takeaways, while increasing its third-down conversion rate by 10 percent and its red-zone scoring rate by 22 percent.
In addition, the Orange offense broke nine single-season records.
The result is Syracuses second appearance in the Pinstripe Bowl in three years. The program snapped a six-year bowl drought in 2010 by reaching, and winning, the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.
And for Marrone, the excitement extends beyond having his team back in a bowl game.
Before arriving in Syracuse to play on the Oranges offensive line, Marrone attended Herbert H. Lehman High School, about a 10-minute drive from Yankee Stadium. He was a classmate of the Yankees YES Network broadcaster, Michael Kay.
Marrone is a life-long Yankees fan and his grandfather worked as an usher at the old Yankee Stadium for over 20 years.
I think I may be the most excited person coming back, Marrone said. Brings back times where I remember my grandfather, and its very nostalgic for me to be here.
And when its over, Marrone can remain upbeat about the direction his program is headed, not just because of the on-field improvement but because he has instilled discipline academically and in the community.
He suspended two players for Saturdays game for a violation of team rules Goal-line back Adonis Ameen-Moore and reserve tight end Max Beaulieu and announced that he will sit starting linebacker Marquis Spruill for a significant portion, after an arrest on misdemeanor charges on Dec. 2.
Syracuse was honored with the American Football Coaches Association Academic All-Achievement Honorable Mention Award, after being one of 47 institutions to graduate at least 75 percent of its football student athletes.
The face of this years team, fifth-year senior quarterback Ryan Nassib, was selected as an NFF National Scholar-Athlete, and was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, presented to the absolute best scholar-athlete in college football.
Nassib, center Macky MacPherson and long snapper Sam Rodgers earned 2012 Capital One All-District recognition for their work academically, in the community and on the field.

FIGHTING WORDS FROM KRISTEN McELROYAlso: Baumbach – Queens Wants the Islanders
UPDATED at 1:05 pm – Queens steps up to the plate. Read Jim Baumbach.
Kristen McElroy, the Democratic candidate for Town of Hempstead Supervisor, is pregnant, peeved and pro-Lighthouse Project.
After her introduction in late May as Kate Murray's opponent, McElroy disappeared for four months. She explained her absence by revealing her pregnancy and doctor-prescribed bed rest. McElroy says everything is okay now and she is medically cleared for campaining. (My choice of words). As for my perception of her sudden, maybe-too-late-in-the-game emergence, McElroy said campaigns at this level are typically a one-month sprint to election day.
When we spoke by phone on Friday afternoon, the Garden City resident was returning from a meeting with the Newsday editorial board in which both McElroy and Murray made their pitch for the newspaper's endorsement. She came out of the meeting with little respect for her political opponent.
"The Supervisor acted like a disgusting politican," McElroy said. "She pulled the same stuff on the Lighthouse Project that she's been doing all year. Kate Murray has been a roadblock. She says her actions on the Lighthouse are not politically-motivated, but everyone knows they are.
"Every agency that has approved their piece of the project, like the Department of Transportation, she does not accept. She continues to say the ball is in Charles Wang's court, yet everyone knows this is in Kate Murray's hands. This project is essential to the entire county – the jobs, the tax base – and Kate Murray continues to stall."
The Labor council gave Murray their endorsement months ago, before the Lighthouse hearings that led to no progress and infuriated union leadership. McElroy said she "screened" with the trades in July but wants another meeting. McElroy also had an informational session with the Lighthouse Development Corp. two months ago and would like to schedule a meeting with Charles Wang and Scott Rechler in the next two weeks.
Time is running out. I believe McElroy is fighting a monumental uphill battle and told her so. When I asked her if she genuinely feels she has a chance to defeat Murray in the election next month, McElroy said, "Absolutely. I have every intention of becoming the next Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead. And when I do, the political games around the Lighthouse will end and the project will be approved."
