Ayes (8): Martins, Ball, Little, McDonald, Ritchie, Stewart-Cousins, Oppenheimer, Klein
TITLE OF BILL: An act to authorize Monica's Manor, Inc. to file a retroactive application for real property tax exemption with the county of Nassau
PURPOSE: Authorize Monica's Manor, Inc. to file a retroactive application for a real property tax exemption with the county.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one authorizes the assessor of the County of Nassau to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to Section 420-a of the Real Property Tax Law for certain taxes owed by Monica's Manor, Inc.
Section two provides that the act shall take effect immediately.
JUSTIFICATION: Monica's Manor, Inc. is a not-for-profit tax exempt organization that owns and operates three transitional-group homes in Nassau County. Their first property, purchased in 2005, has timely enjoyed a real property tax exemption. Its' second property, also enjoys a real property tax exemption. Monica's Manor was unable to file an exemption for tax years 2010/11 and 2011/12 for its third property, the subject of this bill, as this property was purchased subsequent to the filing deadlines, and the organization has been liable for taxes since its closing on July 27, 2011. The bill intends to undo the financial hardship of the not-for-profit corporation having to pay real property tax they would not otherwise have to pay if they had been permitted to file an application. Monica's Manor, Inc. has filed a timely application for a tax exemption with the Nassau County Department of Assessment for the 2012/13 tax year.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 7320 IN SENATE May 2, 2012 ___________Introduced by Sen.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from Monica's Manor, Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 assessment rolls with respect to the second half of the 2010-2011 school taxes, the 2011-2012 school taxes, the second half of the 2011 general taxes, and the 2012 general taxes for the parcel of land acquired by Monica's Manor, Inc. on July 27, 2011 located in the town of Hempstead at 1300 Commodore Road, Uniondale also known as and by section 50, block 333-01, lot 5 on the land and tax map of Nassau county. If accepted, such application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established for such rolls. If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such organization had filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property by the organization and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or the tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid; cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid; and reimburse tax lien holders.

EAST LANSING, Mich. Does the stress of marriage contribute to heart disease, which accounts for one of every four deaths in the United States?
A new study aims to find out. Michigan State University's Hui Liu will lead one of the first national interdisciplinary efforts to investigate how biology and social factors interact within marriage to affect cardiovascular health.
The study is funded by a $619,645 grant from the National Institute on Aging, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.
"The importance of this study is highlighted by the continued high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the United States," said Liu, a medical sociologist. "We plan to provide nationally representative evidence on how marriage affects cardiovascular health and elucidate the multiple mechanisms in this relationship. The findings will have important implications for health policy and practice."
Because most heart disease is preventable, identifying risk factors is crucial to design effective prevention strategies and programs. Many social, psychological, behavioral and biological factors work together to contribute to the risk of heart disease over people's lifetime. The study will focus on people aged 50 and older based on two nationwide datasets from the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project and the Health and Retirement Study.
Scientists have long said marriage is the most important social relationship affecting health during adulthood. Both the stress and support within marriage shape life context, which in turn may affect health, Liu said. For example, a happy marriage may provide social support, which may buffer the negative consequences of stressful life events and in turn enhance physical health.
In contrast, a distressed marriage exposes an individual to stressful interactions that may lead to depression. Depression, in turn, affects health either indirectly, by promoting unhealthy behaviors

Between February 2010 and April 1, 2012, 714 dolphins and other cetaceans — 95 percent of them dead — washed up on the northern shore of the Gulf of Mexico, from the border Louisiana and Texas share to Franklin County in Florida. The average number of dolphins who are stranded in a year is 74: What's going on?
Now the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is saying that those 714 animals found represent only a fraction of how many are actually perishing in what appears to be a massive die-off. Many of the dolphins sink, decompose or are eaten before they wash up to shore, notes Tim Wall at Discovery News. The NOAA has now declared the die-off an "Unusual Mortality Event," according to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.
The frightening die-off does coincide with BP's Deepwater Horizon oil spill and its aftermath. A recent study has found that exposure to oil leads to serious health problems for dolphins.
Could a Bacteria Be The Reason So Many Dolphins Dying?
But as Wall at Discovery News points out, the increase in dolphin deaths started happening two months before the April 20, 2010 explosion that led to a months-long oil spill. 112 dolphins were found to have died before the spill and the NOAA says that the Brucella bacteria could be the culprit.
The NOAA found Brucella in five stranded dolphins from Louisiana and its scientists have now been focusing on cases showing "pathological changes consistent with the fetal pneumonia or adult meningitis identified" in the original five cases. Infection with Brucella causes a disease, brucellosis, that, according to the NOAA, is "best known for its role in causing abortion in domestic livestock and undulant fever in people"; it can also cause infections im the brain, skin and bones. Scientists currently do not know how brucellosis is spread in dolphins. In domestic livestock, brucellosis spreads when animals consume the tissue and fluids left after delivery of a fetus and also via "inhalation, contact with a wound, and during nursing and breeding."
However, dozens of the dolphins who have washed up show no sign of Brucella infection. NOAA scientists are continuing to investigate the possible role of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Unusual Mortality Event, to figure out what is behind the shockingly high numbers of dolphins perishing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Thank you for sharing.
The die off may have started before the Deepwater Horizon blew up, but the oil has been leaking into the gulf since LONG before that. There are THOUSANDS of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
hope they find the reason thanks for sharing
This is dreadful - hopefully something is being done to identify the cause and hopefully come up with a solution.
What a greedy B-----D!!
Very sad to hear.
how sad

It's the Big Ten vs. Pac-12 invitational in Week 3.
Nebraska meets UCLA in the headliner, and that offers a chance to see if the Cornhuskers learned anything from last year's 36-30 loss.
Ohio State travels to face Cal, a game the Buckeyes can win with or without Braxton Miller. Wisconsin faces a road test at Arizona State, and Illinois welcomes Washington at Soldier Field.

MORE: ACC | Big 12 | Pac-12 | SEC
RISING: Michigan. The knee-jerk reaction is to put the Wolverines at No. 1 after an impressive 41-30 win against Notre Dame, but it's more of a fluid 1A and 1B situation with Ohio State. Look at the rosters. Miller and Devin Gardner get most of the attention, but the teams are almost identical at every position. It's too early to start talking about 2006, the last time both teams were undefeated heading into The Game. But with each week, that conversation will gain traction.
FALLING: Michigan State. Defensive end Shilique Calhoun has three defensive touchdowns through two games, one more than Michigan State's entire offense. That's certainly not a knock on Calhoun; he's an upgrade from William Gholston off the edge and a key piece on a championship-caliber defense. The Spartans' offense, however, is flat-out terrible. Michigan State needs to settle on one quarterback – Andrew Maxwell is still the best option -- and get back to a basic power-run game instead of experimenting with read-option nonsense. Boring has proven beautiful for Sparty. Stick with it.
BOTTOM LINE: In 2012, Northwestern and Ohio State were the only two Big Ten teams to get through nonconference play without a loss. Nine Big Ten teams are undefeated through two weeks, and six or seven teams should get into Big Ten play undefeated. That list includes Penn State -- which might have the best pocket-passer in the conference in freshman Christian Hackenberg. That might seem strange to say after just two games, but he's only going to get better with Bill O'Brien.

Item of the Day
Starbucks Venti Iced Coffee, street name "The Nancy Botwin"
Breakfast is indisputably the most "important meal of the day," according to '90s commercials for artificially flavored and colored breakfast cereals. In the spirit of breakfast, I treat myself to one very necessary beverage every single morning: a Starbucks Venti Iced Coffee, known on the streets as a "Nancy Botwin" (who has been filmed carrying a large iced coffee in almost every single scene of Showtime's hit series WEEDS).
If I don't drink my Nancy Botwin first thing in the morning, I feel like my day just isn't right. And it's not because I'm addicted to caffeine (that's an implicit given), which honestly has forever altered my brain chemistry to depend on its pep-building momentum. My day just isn't right without my Nancy Botwin because it's delicious (2 splendas + heavy cream=LIKE A BOSS), it's refreshing (all that ice really does cool my 98.6 degrees down to like a chillier 97.4 degrees [I'm guessing]), and it's totally addictive (this may be psychosomatic, or this may be an actual a caffeine addiction-thing)!
On any given day, I warn people not to even come near me if I haven't had my Nancy Botwin, because I can't even possibly try to tolerate anyone (or anything) prior to treating my body to the creamy, icey, almost chocolatey euphoria of my morning venti iced coffee. And unlike the Showtime Nancy Botwin, this tall drink isn't selfish! For all of these reasons, a Nancy Botwin is a definite Hellogiggles item of the day.

New York Giants News and Links for Nov 27
The Packers are in the rearview mirror (for now) and the Redskins, suddenly a valid contender, loom on the horizon. The Giants are dealing with a new slew of injuries, but have an extra day this week to sort things out.
The team announced they were placing RB Andre Brown (broken leg) on IR with a designation to return. Although Brown is unlikely to return this season, even if the Giants make it all the way to to the Super Bowl, the move leaves room for him should he be able to rehab ahead of schedule. In other roster moves, CB Michael Coe (hamstring), who was placed on season-ending IR on Nov 10, was waived. Here's some other links for you….

How to Choose a Blush Color
Blush 101: Picking the Right Color
Like us on Facebook
- Don't be afraid to throw it all out the window: "Back in the day they used to say, 'If you're a warm only wear warm colors; if you're a cool, only wear cool colors,'" McCarthy says. But, she recommends throwing that whole notion out the door. While McCarthy notes that she does look at her clients' skin tones to choose their blush colors, she also looks at their personalities: "In the end, it makes people step outside the box to kind of really see what makes them feel good about themselves."
- Think brightening, but natural: "For someone with more olive skin, peach tones look really good, and they tend to brighten the complexion, since yellow or olive skin can sometimes look a little sallow," McCarthy advises. If you're more fair-skinned, consider yourself lucky; you can get away with wearing just about any color. "And for darker complexions, I really love deeper plum tones and deeper pinks — and even a straight red blush would be gorgeous, as well."
- And for something that works for everyone: For a universally flattering color, McCarthy recommends Glo Minerals' blush in Sweet ($26). "It's similar to Nars Orgasm," she explains. "It's a really nice metallic peach with a pink undertone, and it works on any skin tone."
But what about application tips? They're coming. Stay tuned for those and more, and you'll be blushing beautifully in no time flat.

»BEAN BUZZ: The corner of North Killingsworth Street and Albina Avenue will soon be graced with a new, attitude-free coffeehouse, thanks to brothers Wesley and Baxter Nelson. Coffeehouse Five, a riff on Slaughterhouse Five, will brew beans from Seattle's Caffe Vita Roasting Co. and feature homemade soups and "panwiches" from the nearby Junior Ambassadors cart. Baxter Nelson worked at Anna Bannana's coffeehouse on Northwest 21st Avenue for eight years, and he and his brother have spent the past two years building a business around the idea that "good coffee doesn't have to be snooty." The Baxters are planning an early-April opening.
»SECRET'S OUT: Apparently, good fortune rubs off on one's neighbors. Adjacent to perpetually busy Toro Bravo, The Secret Society—now a ballroom and recording studio—will soon house a lounge. While the idea initially was sparked to stave off the hunger pangs of Toro's diners waiting next door, the Society's owner, Matt Johnson, is hoping it will become a destination for vintage-style cocktails featuring many of Portland's local distilleries. The Society's preparing to open April 1.
»BYE, N'AWLINS: As first reported on wweek.com, PDX's Lagniappe, the New Orleans grub joint known for its po' boys, closed Friday, Feb. 15, according to co-owner Melissa Carey. The closure is the result of financial troubles that started after their summer '05 move from their successful Northeast Broadway location to a sprawling space on Northeast Alberta Street. "We just don't have enough bodies coming in," Carey says. A new breakfast-to-late-night diner named Rock's is scheduled to open in the space in a month, according to incoming chef Ben Phillips.
»TASTES RICH: Do your taste buds have a pedigree and money is no object? Seattle wine guru Jake Kosseff is headed to PDX to check out chefs and locations for his upscale wine dinners. He's already orchestrated spendy "once-in-a-lifetime" $1,000 meals for Seattleites at posh joints like the Herbfarm. He says he picks wines that are "rare and amazing" and works with the chefs to build a menu that complements each glass. You can try four of Kosseff's picks—and give him your tips about which chefs to work with locally—for a more affordable $100 at the Heathman's Dueling Sommelier dinner (see listings).

Cincinnati health officials say: 'We're calling it an outbreak' as whooping cough hits Tri-State
CINCINNATI - Whooping cough has come marching back to the Cincinnati region this autumn, extending a worrisome trend of several years.
Now public health authorities are issuing fresh warnings: Children need to be up to date on vaccinations against the nasty bacterial infection, and adults--especially those in contact with newborns and infants--should get booster shots.
"It's around you, and we know that it's just a matter of time before you're having it in your jurisdiction. That's the concern," said Rocky Merz, spokesman for the Cincinnati Health Department. "There are things you can do, the most important of which is getting vaccinated."
Whooping cough warnings
Thursday, the city, Hamilton County Public Health and the Northern Kentucky Health Department put out an alert to the region about whooping cough – or pertussis, its medical moniker. The Cincinnati and Hamilton County reported that together in October, they had a higher-than-average total of 46 cases of whooping cough.
Northern Kentucky registered eight cases in October. Since a 2010 spike in incidents, St. Elizabeth Healthcare has provided more than 10,000 free vaccinations to mothers and family members.
"We hope that's had a big impact," said Emily Gresham Wherle, public information administrator for the Northern Kentucky Health Department.
The numbers in Butler and Warren counties are lower than last year. But the city of Hamilton has got a fight on its hands with a spike of 42 cases just since Sept. 1.
"And we're calling it an outbreak," says Kay Farrar, the city's health commissioner.
"What alerted us was that we had two cases within one classroom" at Garfield Junior High School, Farrar said. "Our normal is to have, at most, two cases; it may be someone 45 years old and then a two-year-old who are not related. But this time, a light bulb went off, and we knew we've got something here."
Parental panic
Kristen Rashkin of Mason got her education about whooping cough this week when her 4-year-old daughter came home from ballet class with a fever and that up-all-night cough.
The first round of tests were not informative, so Rashkin's pediatrician ordered up an X-ray and a whooping cough test, even though Raskin's daughter was current on her pertussis shots.
"Right when we walked into the testing area, and the nurse saw the order for a whooping cough test, she had my daughter put on a mask, and everyone who came in contact with her put on a mask. I didn't realize it was that contagious," Rashkin said
Test results ultimately found that Rashkin's daughter was suffering from pneumonia, and she's responding to treatment. But Rashkin says she found that other parents also were unaware of the rise of whooping cough in the area, "and now they've gotten updated on their boosters and gotten people in their families updated. We had no idea it was that big a problem."
More cases, near and far
Ohio and the nation have been experiencing recent outbreaks of pertussis, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The spread of infectious diseases generally occurs for many reasons. But research published this summer in the journal Pediatrics found that one cause of a 2010 outbreak in California was that a large number of children had not been vaccinated for whooping cough at all.
But in the city of Hamilton, Farrar said, one of the curiosities of this fall's outbreak is that all the children who got sick had been vaccinated. Getting the vaccine probably reduced the severity of the illness in each patient, she said.
Craig Davidson, director of epidemiology for Hamilton County Public Health, pointed out that whooping cough "tends to come in cycles or waves. It's kind of hard to tell when that next uptick is going to be."
"Some of the theory there is that no vaccine's perfect," he said. "It might be a subset of kids in which the vaccines aren't quite kicking in yet. It can happen in clusters and pockets."
Whooping cough gets its nickname for a reason; Hamilton County posted a video that at the 45-second mark provides a pathetic sound sampler of a baby with a pertussis cough.
WATCH: What whooping cough sounds like (story continues below)
Next page: What whooping cough looks like, how to find help
Whooping cough comes on like the flu, with a mild fever, runny nose and an occasional cough. Adults whose immunizations have faded may not realize that what they really have is the highly contagious infection. In one or two weeks, severe coughing begins and can last for weeks. Medical attention should be sought.
In infants, the illness can be fatal. More than half of babies younger than a year who get whooping cough must be hospitalized.
Because of the potential danger to infants, pregnant women now get pertussis boosters in their third trimester, and all adults who come in contact with children – including grandparents, care providers and babysitters – should get current on their shots.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
Some celebrities insist they were born to be a star. Jeremy Northam is definitely not one of them. He decided to give acting a serious go at the age of 24, but says self-deprecatingly: "I thought I wouldn't work much. Or maybe just a little, if I was lucky." Whether it was due to luck, talent or his easy-on-the-eye looks, Jeremy found success both on the stage and in film.
He arrived on December 1, 1961, in Cambridge, England, the youngest of four children born to John a university don and Rachel Northam. As a youngster, grammar-school educated Jeremy was turned on to acting by a year's work as a stagehand a far cry from the posh roles he'd ride to fame. He studied English literature at Bedford College, before joining the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Pantomime work and a string of small-town musicals followed before he got his break as the understudy for an ailing Daniel Day-Lewis in a 1989 production of Hamlet at the National Theatre.

Neighborhood groups petition DEP over proposed Vanderbilt Beach bathrooms
NAPLES - Controversial plans to build new bathrooms and a concession stand at Vanderbilt Beach have cleared one hurdle but are facing a possible new one.
Since 2010, opponents have crowded public hearings on Collier County's plans to build an elevated 3,800-square-foot beachfront building with an observation deck 30 feet above the beach at the end of Vanderbilt Beach Drive.
They say the $1.2 million project is needlessly big and intrusive to the neighborhood, but supporters say it is necessary for adequate public access to the popular North Naples beach.
The plans moved forward Oct. 31 when the Department of Environmental Protection granted Collier County a variance from rules that require structures to be built far enough landward of the beach and dunes.
That variance is the first step of a two-step process for the county to get a Coastal Construction Control Line permit from the DEP. That permit application is still pending.
But this week, a coalition of North Naples neighborhood groups and residents petitioned the DEP for more time to consider filing an administrative challenge to the variance approval.
The petition, filed Monday, seeks a 60-day time extension so opponents can look further into the county's justification for the variance and meet with DEP staff to possibly avert a challenge, the petition says.
"We're wondering if the state has accurate information," North Naples Community Alliance spokeswoman Kathy Robbins said.
For example, she cited a claim in a cover letter on the variance application that the county would lose beachfront revenue if the county could not build the bathrooms and concession stand.
The petitioners include North Naples residents Rollin Rhea, Robert Naegele Jr., and Pat Kimbrough, the Vanderbilt Beach Residents Association, the Mangrove Action Group and homeowners groups at Beachwalk, Beachwalk Gardens, Beachmoore, Pelican Bay, The Remington at Bay Colony.
The county's point man on the Vanderbilt Beach project said this week that the county wants "to be sure we are good neighbors and we comply with all the rules."
"We want to go through the process," the county's Coastal Zone Management Coordinator Gary McAlpin said. "We want to be make sure everyone has an opportunity to input into this."
In its order granting the variance, the DEP found that strict application of the state's beach setback rules for the Vanderbilt Beach project would create a "substantial hardship" for the county.
Building the structures further landward of the dune would place them within a wetland preserve buffer area or in preserve, the county says.
The DEP order says that, despite the variance, the county will meet the purpose of the beach setback rule "by other means."
The county's variance petition says the project will not threaten the stability of the dune. The county is proposing to close a gap in the dune, remove nonnative vegetation and plant native vegetation to offset the project's impacts.
"There's no reason not to build this where we've identified," McAlpin said.

I wouldn't gamble more money than I could afford to lose. I also wouldn't spend my own money in order to win an election, but I'm not, and nor will I ever care to be, a politician. Even those living outside of California have heard, the former CEO of eBay, Meg Whitman, spent more than $160 million of her own money, more than 10% of her reported net worth, to ultimately lose the election for governor of that state.
Had she won the election, her investment might not have been a waste from at least one political point of view. Avoiding the obvious political debates played out ad nauseam elsewhere, would you gamble 10% of your net worth? A complete loss might be an acceptable risk if you believe you have a good chance to be on the winning side of the investment.
People who want to be politicians should be driven by the possibility of making a positive difference in the world — or country, state, or town. Two of Whitman's goals were to create jobs and improve public schools. With $160 million to spend, someone could take great strides with both of these goals by investing in businesses and supporting the secondary education system directly. It's easy to argue that Whitman hoped that by spending the money to win the election, she'd be in a better position to have a greater effect than she could with just her own money.
It's interesting to note that the most expensive self-financed race in history didn't win — an example that defies the general rule that the political victor is the opponent who spends the most money.

Intense squash action commenced on Thursday at the Lagos Country Club squash section where the annual HotSports Ladder Challenge is holding.
Declaring the 5th edition of the championship open, Sports Secretary of the Lagos Country Club Tony Da-Silva lauded HotSports for sustaining the sponsorship of what has become the foremost tournament in the club. He urged the participants to imbibe the spirit of competition.
The CEO of HotSports, Taye Ige, explained that the competition which was conceived to promote the game of squash and also engender bonding among members is one of the platforms the organization uses to reach out to its environment and give back to sports. He said it would continue to be nurtured and sponsored by HotSports.
"This tournament affords us the opportunity to give something back to sports, an area in which we have operated for over one and half decades. I assure you that we will continue to be part of this event," Ige said.
Ige also paid glowing tributes to sponsors of other tournaments in the section for being part of the effort to promote the game and increase its following. This effort, he maintained, is paying off as a result of the interest the game is generating.
Vice Chairman of the Squash Section of the club, Demola Olusunmade, also commended HotSports for extending hand of fellowship to the section and also believing in the game of squash. He said the officiating of the games would be standard, while the American scoring system would be used.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WUSA) -- A Spotsylvania man allegedly tried to pass a forged prescription for Oxycodone and when it was denied, he jumped a counter,threatened a Walgreen'sPharmacy technician and took 49 bottles, say authorities.
Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office authorities say that 31-year-oldJason Elliot entered the Walgreen's at 10600 Rollingwood Dr. in Fredericksburg on Thursday shortly before 9:30 p.m. The technician told deputies that Elliot tried to pass a forged prescription for oxycodone and showed his driver's license but she refused to fill the prescription and he got angry. She then told deputies that he jumped the counter and threatened her with a knife, which he never took out.
Elliot allegedly was able to get away with 49 100-count bottles of Oxycodone and fled in a pink colored Honda, which was later identified as his girlfriend's car.
A deputy later spotted the car parked a short distance away from the store and saw a female passenger who was upset. She told thedeputy that she had gotten into an argument with her boyfriend -- Jason Elliot.
The deputy saw a man matching Elliot's description near a house. Elliot ran back to the car and, authorities say, he attempted to get the stolen Oxycodone from under the passenger seat. There was a struggle between Elliot and the deputy but other deputies showed up and Elliot wasarrested.
Elliot is charged with robbery and is beingheld without bond.

To dream of a seance symbolizes your instincts and consciousness. It implies that you must investigate something more thoroughly. It is necessary for you to observe the world rather than focusing on minute details. You may yearn to discover spiritual awareness.
To dream of yourself as a zombie may indicate that you are emotionally or physically detached from the people and situations that surround you. You may be feeling out of touch.
Conversely, seeing yourself as a zombie in your dreams indicates a dead feeling inside and may mean that you are simply going through the motions of daily life.
To dream of a corpse signifies an attribute or quality that you no longer possess. It may indicate that you have trouble communicating your emotions. Perhaps you are unable to get in touch with those feelings.
To dream of seeing a hearse indicates that you need to gear up and move on by letting go of the past and being open to the new changes that will take place in your life.
To dream of being a medium means to desire to know yourself more deeply. It can indicate frustration in life and things not working the way you want them to.
To dream of visiting a medium means that you may not trust yourself to have the answers. In fact, the dream is clearly indicating that on a deep subconscious level you possess all the answers you will ever need.
To dream of the undead or zombies implies that you may be being plagued with old sabotaging thoughts. Note the atmosphere of the dream - is it scary or calm? What is the environment? Habits or memories that hurt you may be coming up more often and you could be feeling overwhelmed. This is simply a sign that you are ready to release yourself from these old and nagging thought systems. Seek some help in clearing old patterns.
To dream that you must defend your home, possessions, or loved ones shows that you may be feeling under attack in your waking life. There could be a question of honor that needs to be addressed.
To dream that another person is defensive toward you is an indication that you may be enduring an untrustworthy connection with someone. The message from your unconscious is to have faith in your intuition as it is most likely correct.
To see Anubis in your dream symbolizes or foretells the passing of someone close to you. On a positive note, dreaming of Anubis indicates that your loved one did not suffer. Their memory will live on, despite their physical departure from this world.

Anthony Westbury: What's really going on in that classroom?
PORT ST. LUCIE - There are so many questions I want to ask about exactly what happened in Wendy Portillo's kindergarten class between her and Alex Barton, 5.
I'm not getting many answers.
Portillo herself isn't talking. That'd be contrary to St. Lucie School District policy and, I guess, might be reason in itself for her termination.
The school district isn't saying much either, because it can't.
Barbara Slaga, assistant superintendent for exceptional student education & student services cites confidentiality concerns that prevent her from discussing any specifics in this case.
Pity, because it's the specifics we all want to hear.
What Slaga could tell me was rather generic. The process of evaluating a student with behavioral issues is long and complicated. Assessment experts from the district office tend to get called in by teachers or principals who notice unusual behaviors in class. What stage of the assessment process was Alex Barton at? Slaga couldn't tell me, but professional advisors would determine whether a child should be kept in a regular class or assigned to special education classes.
Should he have been in Wendy Portillo's class at all? We simply don't know.
Of the hundreds of online comments, both on our tcpalm.com Web site and others (including one at the Chicago Tribune), many people are demanding Portillo's head. They want her fired — or worse. Many think she should never stand in front of a class of students again.
They might be right, but I'm not willing to bury the lady until I've heard the other side.
I did take a look at Portillo's personnel file. It revealed absolutely nothing out of order.
On the contrary, many of her annual evaluations refer to "an awesome teacher," "exemplary" and other superlatives.
It was more than a decade ago (1996), but I was struck by her "superior" scores (the highest possible) in "effectively manages student conduct," and "demonstrates appropriate student-teacher interaction."
Has Portillo turned into a monster since 1996? I doubt it.
Along with the online comments about Portillo's future, I've received a few from teachers (or their spouses). Perhaps not surprisingly, these were a lot more sympathetic to Portillo than the rest.
Judith Fleming, a former high school teacher with 30 years (23 of them in St. Lucie County) under her belt, said, "I can't tell you how many classes were ruined by the actions of one or two students. Everyone keeps writing about that child, who according to articles spent many hours in the principal's office for inappropriate behavior, but no one is writing about how the learning of other students was affected by this child."
She suggests Alex should be assigned to a special class "with others like him until he can learn to function in a mainstream class. All too often the interests of 'special education' students outweigh those of every other student."
Many online readers, on the other hand, are appalled at the very thought of putting kids like Alex in special classes. It's the teacher who's at fault here, they say.
I don't know the answers to any of these questions, and (I suspect) nor do you. Perhaps we should put this witch hunt on hold until we do.

Chaves Co. stands against gay marriages
Jill McLaughlin
Record Staff Writer
Bernalillo County today is expected to become the third, and most populous, county in New Mexico to start issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
The county clerk was ordered by State District Judge Alan Malott Monday to begin issuing the licenses after he declared the state's constitution prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Clerks around the state are uncertain about whether the latest court ruling requires them to begin licensing gay couples. Chaves County, however, will not issue the licenses until state law changes or the state Supreme Court issues a directive.
"We're not going to do it as long as possible," Chaves County Clerk Dave Kunko said. "It is my understanding, after talking to the county attorney, it doesn't apply to the whole state at this point."
Chaves County-area elected officials agreed with Kunko.
"The reckless actions of this judge acting on personal opinion and ignoring legislative procedure threatens serious confusion, frustration, and pain for those who are being led to believe that the law has changed," said U.S. Rep. Steve Login to read more

These easy-to-make peanuts will make you feel like a chocolatier assembling a world-class candy bar. If you're anything like me, you can't keep chocolate bars around the house without breaking off a hunk every time you pass by, so by all means double the recipe if you want, just to make sure there's enough for folding into the ice cream later on.
YIELD: Makes 1 1/2 cups (265 g)
- 4 ounces (115 g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (150 g) roasted, unsalted peanuts
Put the pieces of chocolate in an absolutely dry heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. In the meantime, stretch a piece of plastic wrap over a dinner plate.
Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the peanuts, coating them with the chocolate. Spread the mixture on the plastic-lined plate and chill.
Mixing them in:
Use a chef's knife to chop the chocolate-covered block of peanuts into bite-sized pieces, then mix them into 1 quart (1 liter) of ice cream as you remove it from the machine.
Chocolate-Covered Peanuts can be stored for several months in an airtight container, refrigerated or at room temperature.

Hyundai is an eminent passenger car builder in India; the company has taken the style language of its cars to another level. The company has delivered amazing style quotients in its hatchback and sedan models. Its cutting-edge Fluidic Design technology has startled auto makers all over the world. Those who have watched one of Hyundai's events depicting the visual art structure of Fluidic Design would have certainly been blown away.
Hyundai has recently amazed the public with the launch of i10 Grand; this is a more stylish version of the current trendy i10 car and is packed with more features. The hatchback segment of the company is packed with fashionable models of i10, i20, Eon, Santro and so on. One question that would arise is whether the launch of i10 Grand will elevate Hyundai's auto rank and over power the number one position of Maruti Suzuki.
The i10 Grand is into its first month post launch, and auto experts are firm about the cars stellar fame tag. Hyundai has packed many facets into the car in terms of style, engine efficiency, and mileage and color options. Moreover the car is delivered in petrol and diesel engines. The car might reach a peak popularity level that can be compared to the present i10 model.
If the launch of i10 Grand is not exciting enough, Hyundai has a few more surprise packages in the pipeline. The most awaiting new launches are the Hexa space MPV, and a fresh Santa Fe SUV. The Santa Fe is a classic example of a luxury car with its pristine and glossy exterior sculpt and abundantly roomy interiors, but there is something more with new Santa Fe which will be garnished with more features such as panoramic sun roof, tail gate, stability control and heated seats. This would be Hyundai's rare project in SUV segment, since this segment has been on the move lately with the Ford EcoSport and Renault Duster. Ardent Hyundai fans who cannot wait for the launch of Hexa space MPV will have to wait till next year end.
According to auto experts the company is on the right track with its new projects, Hyundai has done well for itself for years. Its stunning launches have created cut-throat competitions with other established auto firms. The arch rivalry between Hyundai Eon and Alto 800 designed by Maruti Suzuki has been published extensively in many car websites and magazines. The same rivalry will follow post the launch of Hexa space MPV. For those who can guess, which car would be a fierce rival of Hyundai Hexa MPV; it would be Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Car websites and magazines will be filled with the arch rivalry that would exist with the two models.
Hyundai fans can rejoice and explore the Hexa space MPV, but will have to wait for at least a year till this car makes a grand appearance in showrooms. There is also another car to look forward to which is the new Santa Fe draped with additional features to offer luxury beyond words.Hyundai fans can expect awesome new surprise packages next year,

Proton is planning a major relaunch in the UK with three new models set to be offered early in 2014.
Leading the charge will be the Suprima S hatchback, and will be joined by the Exora Bold MPV and Preve saloon.
The Ford Focus rivalling Suprima S was launched in Proton's home market of Malaysia earlier this year, with a 1.6-litre 138bhp turbo engine.
It was initially offered with a seven-speed CVT gearbox, but according to respected Malaysian website paultan.org, a six-speed manual will also be available in the UK. The power output is likely to remain unchanged.
The Suprima S on sale in Malaysia delivers a 0-62mph time of 9.9 seconds and promises 35mpg. It was benchmarked against the Focus, VW Golf, Peugeot 308 and Mazda 3 during its development.
The Proton UK website is highlighting the relaunch, with both the MPV and saloon featuring prominently on its home page.
Both models are also fitted with the 1.6 turbo in Malaysia.
Proton sells a limited range through its UK dealer network at present, with only the Gen-2, Savvy, Satria Neo and Ecologic on offer.
Hi there, I believe there is a small misunderstanding in the second paragraph. The Suprima S hatch was launched in August 2013, not last year. It's sister car however, the Prevé sedan, did launch in April last year. Although both cars look identical, bar the rear end, the Suprima S hatch is a very different car in its own right. It has further improved on the Prevé's formula in terms of NVH refinement, reliability, safety, standard kit and overall performance. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the launch of both cars in Britain. :]
This looks quite nice. They just need to price it realistically.
I'm not sure that Ford see it as a Focus rival.
so funny you see proton suprima S as ford rival... really!?!? are you serious!?!?
Agreed. That is what I'm most worried about. If all goes well, it should be priced between 11 and 12,000 pounds for the 6-spd manual. The base line CVT should be an extra 1,000 pounds. The top line CVT should be around 15k.
35mpg isn't going to cut it. Next?
Maybe not a Ford rival per se but there is definitely space on the market for a genuine budget car. Since Hyundai and Kia went all mainstream there is a lack of genuinely cheap cars for people on a tight budget. If you need something bigger than a Dacia Sandero but for not much money where else do you go? Proton could do well if they get the pricing right
Wow, I can't believe Auto Express corrected that small detail, and even took the liberty to expand the article too, you guys are awesome ! :D
The MPV looks like a last gen Astra
That MPV looks ungainly - reminds me of an old Kia Carens. The saloon and hatch models look good though.
so true
Go to youtube for reviews on this car (Suprima S ) and you will find the quality is still poor and the fuel consumption terrible. The low cost will not make up for the extra fuel you will have to buy. Come on Dacia here's a gap for you to fill.


text: So, I'm quite busy nowadays because I'm working as a SoC student and have another activities so I have always less and less time for the webpage translation I started some months ago. That's why I decided to look for some help. So far I've found only one guy, but he seems to be enthusiastic and helpful, so we will work together on the Hungarian webpage. Actually, it is almost done, only a small number of sgml files should be translated and some problem problem should be fixed with (R), (C) and TM characters, because they don't appear correctly with ISO-8859-2. Besides, I also want to restructurize the news/press/media section to be read from the English website, because we don't have so many Hungarian contributors, so keeping it up-to-date would be difficult. Of course, I'll maintain the webpages, but I don't think translating the news always is necessary. Maybe later… For the same reason I've ripped of some pages that I found unnecessary fot the current Hungarian community. E.g. Gnome pages and everything under www/en/projects. I think nobody would read that, the first version of the Hungarian webpage should aim beginners, provide basic information on FreeBSD and should be a place for further translations (Handbook, etc.) I don't think it will cost too much time, I hope we can finish it until the end of this summer.

Nepal (& India-Ladakh) trekking is truly our passion and lifestyle.
We run the best three week+ Nepal treks there are - seriously! Nepal is our second home and we are true specialists, caring for every detail and running in some of the most logistically challenging areas. Jamie wrote the guide book Trekking in the Everest Region.
** After 12 years partnering with Project Himalaya, Kim is spreading her wings and now has her own US-based company Kamzang Journeys; we wish her all the best! **
Yes, our Nepal Autumn treks are running to support Nepal. We always carry a satellite phone on every Nepal trek. Jamie will be updating the Everest guidebook in December.
Wahoo, what an adventure! In 2012 we were the very first to complete the Saipal missing link, but over some heinous passes. This time we refine our route with kinder passes to truly open up this new section of the Nepal Great Himalaya Trail. It is authentic culture, a stunning variety of scenery and real exploration in four weeks.
4-31 Oct, 28 days -- expedition style -- Jamie McGuinness -- US$4980 -- full
More wonderful high route GHT exploration, we find an alternative high route from Simikot through to historic Mugu village. It is a remote route, through little-visited villages, peaceful high altitude yak grazing areas and with expansive mountain panoramas. And real exploration!
28 Oct-20 Nov, 24 days -- expedition style -- Jamie McGuinness -- US$2980 -- full
Here is a taster, while we work on new programs and check the safety of earthquake-affected routes.
Rarely trekked Ganesh Himal is delightful cultural trekking, and we optionally add Paldor 5896m, a straightforward trekking peak near the end, and explore the Tamang Heritage trail too, to comprehensively explore the region.
Apr??, 21? days -- expedition style -- Jamie McGuinness -- US$2480
Across stunning Dolpo using our unique middle way. How about the rarely crossed Kagmara La to the Phuksundo jewel of a lake and the Numa La-Baga La middle route though Dho-Tarap to the new permit-busting Mu La and finish in Jomsom?
Oct- Nov, 24? days -- expedition style -- Jamie McGuinness -- US$??80
The best? Unlike all other western companies, the leader arranges the trek start to finish, managing every detail, including answering your questions. Other companies have office staff handling the questions and the western leader turns up to guide but without logistical control, or consistent staff.
Nepal prices are ex-Kathmandu, i.e. you have to buy your international flight tickets to Kathmandu (airport code KTM); domestic flights as required for the trip are included.
Dates are the date you must arrive in Kathmandu and the date you are free to fly out of Kathmandu. You can of course arrive earlier or leave later and we book hotels to suit. If transiting via Delhi in particular, plan your times carefully.
Minimums For many trips the minimum number that we run the trip with is three trekkers. Normally all treks run.
Caring for our staff We have great staff, and we really care about them, as they care for us. Sirdars, guides and cooks have worked years with us. Our porters are fully kitted out for high altitude treks following the letter and spirit of the IPPG guidelines.
Tipping our crew is usual and allow approx 5% of the trip cost as a guideline. The western guides don't take tips.
Leaders All our treks are western-led with a good local guide as well.
*Exploratory treks The golden age of exploration dead? Never! These are 'back of an envelope' treks that would warm Tilman's heart. There is nobody else on the planet who organizes treks quite like this, a positive attitude and smile required.
*Introductory treks are suited to relatively fit trekking novices.
Teahouse trekking means staying in local lodges and is on a twin share basis only. All trekking accommodation, all meals and hot drinks are included. Alcohol, mineral water, soft drinks, snacks and toilet paper not included. Porters/yaks carry your personal gear leaving you with a daypack.
Expedition-style trekking means sleeping in tents. A cook and helpers cater for us with 3 course meals and post-trek snacks, and porters/yaks/ponies carry the group gear and your kitbag and is organized by a sirdar. You trek with a daypack. Couples share a roomy tent, everyone else gets a roomy tent to themselves.
All treks include
+ local airport transfers
+ Kathmandu sightseeing
+ hotels and guesthouses
+ single room in Kathmandu, shared in other places
+ domestic flights/private buses
While expedition-style trekking (camping):
+ quality roomy single tent (3 or 4 person tent for doubles)
+ solar charging for iPods and cameras
+ French press coffee, herbal teas
+ compact Himalayan library
+ selection of relevant maps
+ cozy dining tent
+ filtered water ... and more

We have the notion of a "debug level" in CATS 0.2, although by default we always use the same debug level we could add another option to RunChandler that will accept the debug level, then only run this repository test if the debug level is set greater than a certain number. > > Heikki, can you explain to Andi what the problem case was? > > Andi, do you think there's any utility to running after each test? > (Seems like running once at the end would tell us if any test > corrupted the repository; doing it for each test wouldn't add > anything, since once it's corrupt, it's likely to stay that way.) In the new framework this is really simple, since individual tests run by a single method in the framework. In the old tests scripts this would require us adding a line to the end of every single test script. Since we are a few days away from being at 0 bugs in CATS-0.2 and want to begin the transition after the release of alpha3 to CATS-0.2 I think we should just wait on adding this to each test script until we move to CATS-0.2. > > ...Bryan > _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > > Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list > http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev

Venezuela govt: Chavez will not be embalmed
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – Venezuela's information minister says the government has decided that the body of Hugo Chavez will not be embalmed for permanent display, as officials had said it would be.
Ernesto Villegas' tweet Friday night says the government has discarded the option based on the advice of a Russian medical commission.
The message says the commission had said Chavez's body would have to be sent to Russia for seven to eight months to be properly embalmed.
Acting President Nicolas Maduro announced last week that Chavez's body would be perpetually displayed, but then on Wednesday he said that now seemed "highly unlikely."
Chavez died March 5 after succumbing to cancer. The government moved his body Friday from a military academy where it had been on display to a hilltop military museum.

Exercise: No Sitting On This News- Exercise Affects Longevity
Exercise: No Sitting On This News- Exercise Affects Longevity
Physical activity promotes cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, endurance and muscular flexibility, as well as good body composition.
The benefits of regular physical activity include improved quality of life and greater longevity.
How Does Exercise Increase Longevity and Quality of Life?
In recommendations on physical activity, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American College of Sports Medicine, state that the benefits of physical activity include a number of factors that lowered the risk of coronary heart disease:
-improved blood lipid profiles
-better resting blood pressure in borderline hypertension
-improved body composition
-better glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity
-better bone density, immune function and psychological function14
Also, physical activity is protective. Epidemiologic studies show that low levels of activity and fitness are associated with markedly increased all-cause mortality rates.
Attention Couch Potatoes!
It is estimated that of 250,000 deaths per year in the United States, approximately 12% of the total are attributed to a lack of regular physical activity.15
Dr. Paffenbarger conducted a large study of 16,000 Harvard alumni.16 His research showed that for every hour spent exercising, subjects could add four or more hours to their life.
The additional hours of life are especially appealing because it's not just the added hours that you experience but a higher quality of life. Physical activity is certainly a good investment, at least when it comes to time and health!
Dr. Blair reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, exercise was shown to be protective against coronary heart disease and cancer.17
Decrease in Mortality
Physical activity was also shown to be a stronger predictor of mortality rate than high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol. Researchers also found that physically fit people with any combination of smoking, elevated blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol levels had lower death rates overall than low-fit people without any of these problems.
The Bottom Line
In other words, this research indicated that if a person smokes and has high blood pressure but is physically active, his or her chances of dying prematurely are lower than someone who does not smoke and does not have high blood pressure but is inactive.
This demonstrates the powerful protective effect of physical activity and its ability to promote health and well-being.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood to Coptic Christians: Convert to Islam, or pay 'jizya' tax
Posted By Adan On September 11, 2013 @ 3:09 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
Jessica Chasmer
Washington Times
Sept. 11, 2013
The Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters have began forcing the roughly 15,000 Christian Copts of Dalga village in Egypt to pay a jizya tax as indicated in Koran 9:29, author and translator Raymond Ibrahim reported on Sunday.
Jizya is the money, or tribute, "that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords 'with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued' to safeguard their existence," Mr. Ibrahim explained.
According to Fr. Yunis Shawqi, who spoke yesterday to Dostor reporters in Dalga, all Copts in the village, "without exception," are being forced to pay the tax.
