Zoning Information
Contact the Permit Center at 703.746.4357 for additional information.
Change of Ownership
Please contact P&Z staff for guidance regarding necessary permits. If you are purchasing an existing business permitted in that location, you will usually need to get permits only for planned modifications. Further, you will need to obtain a new business license. If you are purchasing a business that requires a permit from the Health Department or which is operating under a Special Use Permit, you should discuss your plans with P&Z so we can assist you. If you are buying a business governed by an SUP, you will need to fill out a Change of Ownership Application. On this form, you will indicate any changes you may plan to make.
The application will be reviewed internally and the proposed change of ownership will be advertised in the newspaper so that nearby neighbors and others will be made aware of the application. Typically, P&Z staff will handle most approvals administratively. If, however, you intend to make substantial changes, your application will need to go through public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council to gain approval.
Checklist - Concept Review
Each development application requires submission of a checklist to include basic information for the proposed project as well as specific requirements that depend on the application type (i.e., Special Use Permit, Development Site Plan, Variance, or Board of Architectural Review). Prior to submission of a formal site plan, applicants must meet with City staff to discuss and resolve major land use and site plan issues. The City provides feedback to the applicant and determines if the project should proceed. Concept Review Checklist form.
Checklist - Preliminary
When a formal plan is submitted, City staff must identify missing information needed for review as well as any apparent substantive issues. If the plan is deemed complete, all city departments will then review the proposal and work with the applicant to resolve issues and recommend detailed conditions to the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff also prepares and presents a report recommending approval or denial of the project. The public hearing process then occurs and a final decision is made. Preliminary Checklist form.
Checklist - Final
Once a plan is approved, an administrative process is required to implement the decisions made during the preliminary process. With a goal of two cycles, city staff will review final site plan submissions to ensure that all required conditions are met prior to release of the plan. When a final plan is approved, the applicant can then obtain necessary building permits. Final Checklist form.
Development Site Plan (DSP)
Proposed developments with more than three single-family homes and/or larger than 3,000 require approval of a development site plan. Other conditions requiring site plan approval and other details of this process are found in section 11-400 of the Zoning Ordinance. Development Site Plan application.
Development Special Use Permit (DSUP)
Certain development applications include proposed uses, floor area, height, etc. that require a discretionary special use permit and accompanying site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council. The review of the DSUP is based upon compliance with the provisions of the zoning ordinance and all applicable requirements. Development Special Use Permit application.
An encroachment is an intrusion by a private entity into a public street, alley, sidewalk or other right of way. Some examples of encroachments include fences, outdoor seating at restaurants, or even extensive landscaping in the public right of way. An application for encroachment must go before the Planning Commission and be approved by City Council.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
Floor area of a building is the sum of all gross horizontal areas under a roof. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the total aggregate floor area of a building divided by the area of the lot or tract of land on which it is located. The City Zoning Ordinance regulates neighborhood density by regulating FAR. FARs in the City vary depending on the type of neighborhood and zoning category (which range from low-density residential to high-density mixed use).
Height Regulations
Height regulations vary depending on the zoning of a particular area. To find out which zone a particular property is in, go to the GIS parcel viewer.
Home Occupation Regulations
If you are considering a home business, please contact P&Z staff. In general, the rules for Home Occupations are designed to ensure that the house is perceived as a residential use, not a commercial use. These rules are meant to ensure the integrity of the neighborhood and reassure adjoining neighbors. Home-based businesses are permitted in Alexandria with limitations. In-home child-care providers are not considered standard home occupations, and are subject to additional permits, license and regulations. For more information, please contact the Permit Center at 703.746.4357.
Homeowner Plats
The Department of Planning and Zoning does not keep individual property plats on record. A plat is usually included with your deed at settlement when you purchase the property. You can contact your settlement company or have the property re-surveyed.
Master Plan Amendments
A Master Plan Amendment is a change to any section of the City's Master Plan including maps, charts, land use designations or other materials that comprise the Master Plan. City Council, Planning Commission, P&Z staff or an applicant who has a legal interest in the property may initiate a Master Plan amendment. The Planning Commission recommends approval or denial and City Council determines final action.
Parking Requirements
Contact P&Z staff for assistance in determining the specific parking requirements for your business. Parking requirements vary for different types of businesses and for different locations within the City. If you cannot meet the parking requirements for your particular use and location, you may apply for a Special Use Permit for a parking reduction.
A rezoning is a change to the boundaries of the zones established by the official zoning map, initiated by City Council, Planning Commission, P&Z staff or an applicant who has a legal interest in the property. The Planning Commission recommends approval or denial and City Council determines final action.
A setback ratio is the ratio of the horizontal distance between the edge of a building or structure and the nearest side or rear property line or the nearest building or the center line of a street or alley to the height of the building. Setback requirements vary depending on the zoning of the location of your business. Please contact P&Z staff for assistance.
Sign Regulations
All signs are reviewed and approved with a sign permit, which can be applied for at the Code Administration. Three agencies will review your sign permit. P&Z will look at the size and design of signs. Code Administration will look at the structural details, such as the method of attaching a sign to a wall or the base of a freestanding sign. T&ES will ensure that there are no pedestrian or car safety issues that would result from the proposed sign.
Special Use Permits (SUP)
Typically, a Special Use Permit (SUP) is required for businesses such as restaurants, beauty salons, fitness studios, dry cleaners, or other businesses that need special review because they have the potential to create noise, odors, fumes, pollution or significant parking impacts. The process is designed to ensure that potentially affected neighbors are both informed of and are provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed business. The City Zoning Ordinance regulates the location of various uses. Contact P&Z staff for assistance in determining if an SUP is required.
The division of a lot, parcel or tract of land into two or more lots, plots, sites, parcels or other divisions for the purpose, whether immediate or future, of sale or building development. This includes the resubdivision of existing lots, parcels, tracts or other divisions of existing and duly recorded subdivisions. Any tract of land upon which a street, alley or public right-of-way is dedicated shall be considered a subdivision. An application for subdivision requires approval only from the Planning Commission.
Transportation Management Plan (TMP)
A Transportation Management Plan (TMP) special use permit must be submitted and approved for any building or structure, combination of space, project, complex or development which contains:
- 50,000 or more useable square feet of commercial and/or professional office space;
- 40,000 or more useable square feet of retail space;
- 250 or more residential units.
The purpose of a TMP is to mitigate the traffic and related impacts of certain office, retail, industrial and residential uses.
TMP requirements are detailed in section 11-700 of the Zoning Ordinance.
A vacation occurs when the City agrees to relinquish city property to a private entity at a cost determined by the city. Examples of vacations include alleyways or City property that appears to be part of an owner's yard. A vacation application must go before Planning Commission and be approved by City Council.
Zoning Text Amendments
A Zoning Text Amendment is a change to the text of the Zoning Ordinance adopted in 1992. Generally, City staff (or Council members) will initiate a text amendment, however, citizens or the applicant of a case may prompt the need for a text amendment. The Planning Commission recommends approval or denial and City Council determines final action.

William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library-Columbus, Ohio Thompson Library is the main library at Ohio State, serving more than 60,000 students. This project transformed the library that largely functioned as three separate buildings into a unified and flexible 21st-century research library and campus hub. Challenges included reconfiguring the internal organization and merging building styles and materials without increasing the building's gross size. Architect: Gund Partnership / Acock Associates Architects
Unity Junior High Schoo-Cicero, Illinois The new 442,000-square foot junior high school is composed of two 1,800-student schools joined to share common spaces. The four-story building features academic spaces along a curved spine, a media center, and a large student commons. The school's curved exterior fits the length of the building on the site and breaks up the long corridor into a shorter perceived length. On each end of the curve, glass-enclosed stair towers taper to a wedge, funneling natural light into the interior spaces during the day. At night, the towers appear as glowing beacons to the area's downtown. Architect: FGM Architects
Renovation of the St. Agnes Branch of the New York Public Library-New York, New York Originally designed by Babb, Cook & Willard, 18,000-square-foot St. Agnes Library was built in 1906 with funds from Andrew Carnegie. Its limestone Renaissance Revival facade features three large arched windows and a dramatic, 10-foot-high modillioned cornice with balustrades. The interior focal point is a monumental, three-story-high central staircase. Helpern Architects' three-year-long renovation revived this historic structure and reestablished it as a neighborhood resource. The project required extensive research and also considerable reversal of unfortunate patchwork repairs. Its best new feature is the children's story hour nook with a reclaimed glass shed roof. Architect: Helpern Architects
Plainfield High School-Plainfield, Indiana The new Plainfield High School was developed to be a community campus--to provide warmth, character, and a sense of place. A ribbon concept connects the building to the exterior site through a major pedestrian pathway that weaves out of the building's athletic event entry to the exterior athletic complex, providing accessibility to all fields and support buildings. An internal "street" creates a clear circulation path within the 494,000-square-foot facility and links the three major building pavilions--fine arts, academics, and student athletic programs. The building's horizontal massing, roof forms, and palette of brick--with stone trim and vertical glazed openings with colored accent glazing--draw their inspiration from elements of the Prairie Style. Architect: Schmidt Associates
Naperville Central High School-Naperville, Illinois Naperville Central High School recently completed Phase I of its addition and renovation project. The phase included 170,000 square feet of new construction and 370,000 square feet of renovated space. The project incorporates sustainable design and construction features, peppered throughout the building and site. The school opened its doors for the 2010-11 school year, unveiling new classrooms, science labs, and athletic and wellness space. The existing science labs and U-shaped courtyard were converted into a new student cafeteria and commons space, while the existing cafeteria was transformed into a new library and media center. Architect: Wight & Company
Boulder Regional Fire Training Facilities-Boulder, Colorado The 18,000-square-foot Boulder Regional Training Facilities building is adjacent to the publically accessible Boulder Reservoir in Boulder County. The facility consists of a 10-acre fire training center, including an administration building, burn building, drill tower, and various training props. The sloping wedge form of the building rises from the bermed site perimeter to enclose higher volume spaces and second-level classroom/observation hub, creating an iconic agrarian form respectful of its rural context. Architect: Roth Sheppard Architects / TCA Architecture Panning
A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering-Greenville, South Carolina The A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering features a metal "cube" that organizes the front and rear entrances and frames an exceptional view of downtown Greenville. The building was designed on multiple levels to take advantage of the site that slopes down to Greenville's Reedy River. The project is unique for many reasons. It is the first engineering technology elementary school in South Carolina; it is named for a local civil rights leader, A.J. Whittenberg, and is the first inner-city school built since segregation; and it is constructed on the same site as the Salvation Army's Kroc Community Center, which houses a swimming pool, full-size gymnasium, an after-school program, and a theater (also designed by CGD). The project is pursuing LEED silver certification, recognition as an environmentally friendly building. Architect: Craig Gaulden Davis Inc.
Poly Canyon Village-San Luis Obispo, California MVE Institutional designed 868 units with 2,700 beds into nine structures, each four to five stories high, and arranged to secure sightlines to surrounding hillsides for more than 90 percent of occupants. The nine structures are divided into three "neighborhoods" defined by topography, social considerations, and architectural details. The neighborhoods reflect the mixed Mediterranean architectural traditions of California Polytechnic State University and of California's Central Coast. Each of the neighborhoods has informal outdoor gathering spaces, courtyards, common lobbies, and study areas. In the main square, or "town center," are retail services, including a market, coffee, casual dining outlets, copy shop, and the student-run "Canyon Post." Architect: MVE Insitutional / Niles Bolton and Associates
Panola College Library-Carthage, Texas Consisting of a renovation and a new addition to an existing library, this adaptive use project is the new heart of the Panola College campus. The design intended to be flexible enough to allow continuous operation of the existing library during construction. In addition to traditional stacks and study rooms, the program includes an art gallery, a student lounge, and large multifunctional convention-style rooms. The new Panola Library is designed as a hub of information available to students and the community. The project successfully stitched the new with the old to become one building that can only belong to this specific campus, creating pedestrian/visual connections as well as contextual empathy that stimulates and improves Panola College's campus. Architect: Corgan Associates
PS/IS 276 - Battery Park City School-New York, New York The Battery Park City School serves 950 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade and special education students. A flexible example of a "high-rise" school, the eight-story building's massing reflects the vertical orientation of the program. Public assembly spaces and pre-K through fourth grade are accommodated on the first four floors. Shared spaces, such as the cafeteria, library, art, and other specialized classrooms are on the fifth and sixth floors. The seventh and eighth floors are designed to accommodate the fifth through eighth grades. A 10,000-square-foot outdoor play roof is on the third floor. Combined with high-efficiency boilers and other equipment, extra insulation and photovoltaic solar panels, the school's energy costs are reduced by more than 25 percent. Architect: Dattner Architects

Cozumel Snorkeling
The search is over! You have come to the right spot for snorkeling!
For those who have never visited the island of Cozumel for snorkeling, a spectacular underwater rainbow awaits as you snorkel along the miles of world famous reefs here.
Since Cozumel enjoys an average of 350 days of sunshine, 150 - 250 feet of underwater visibility, a warm 80+ degree year-round average sea temperature it plays host to over 500 species of vibrantly colored tropical fish and corals. A big part of the ancient Mesoamerican barrier reef lies just off the Cozumel shore - about 200-500 yards. All of this adds up to incredible conditions for some awesome snorkeling!
Since tourism abounds in Cozumel and visitors are always diving or snorkeling the reefs of Cozumel, we enjoy some of the friendliest fish you can imagine. So hopefully you can snap a few good pictures this time instead of just fish butts! The miles and miles of incredibly clean, pristine reefs are simply mountains of living coral that provide a stunning view of the ocean and it all starts at just 20 feet deep!
The beauty of Cozumel snorkeling is that it plays host to all sorts of different coral formations like mounds and outcroppings in the shallow waters and then caverns and swim throughs along the coral walls that drop to over 500 feet deep. Snorkelers as well as divers enjoy this spectacular ocean view because of the crystal clear visibility and the drifting currents which provide a relaxing "free ride!"
Cozumel snorkeling is perfect for everyone- no matter the level of skill. Beginners as well as "Old Timers" feel right at home snorkeling amongst the colorful reefs teeming with sea life.
Since Cozumel consistently ranks among the top 3 - 5 dive destinations in the world among scuba divers, it goes without saying that the snorkeling must be incredible, too! Cozumel enjoys some of the clearest water found anywhere in the Caribbean and visibility can be 150 feet or more depending on the water currents.
Why is Cozumel snorkeling better than other places?
Looking at an arial map, take note of the fact that Cozumel sits well away from mainland Mexico (about 7 miles) and also that the island is long going north to south. This happens to be the general flow of the ocean currents around the island as well. This constant flow of currents keeps the waters around the island clean and filled with fresh nutrients that corals feed on. If water is stagnate and not moving, some corals will grow but the majority of them depend on nutrients and sunlight to develop and thrive.
Since clean water is crystal clear, more sunlight can penetrate deeper and this allows corals to grow at deeper depths. A deeper depth coral colony will surive more natural events such as storm surges as well as be protected from human destruction (walking, crushing, harvesting for souvineirs, etc.)
While there are coral reefs and corals growing all around the island, Cozumel's most beautiful corals are formed and located on the west side of the island where there is more natural protection from the open Caribean sea and it's storm surge. This more protected west side of the island has, over millions of years, produced coral formations growing upward from the bottom of the sea some 400 feet and more! No wonder divers get excited coming here and seeing these beautiful underwater formations!
Snorkelers will not necessarily see all of these biggest most beautiful coral formations since their beauty is hidden well beneath the sea and diving equipment is necessary. However, snorkelers CAN see the TOPS of these coral formations as well as enjoy other coral reefs that exist in the islands shallower waters. And of course, where there is coral and protection from the elements and predators, there will be fish, lobsters, crabs, eels, stingrays and a multitude of other sea critters for snorkers to enjoy!
So take the plunge! Get your face wet and enjoy the "down under" beauty Cozumel has to offer snorkelers!

It is very cold here, it snowed last night. Welcome home to us right?! Just wanted to send an email thanking you for making our experience the best ever in sunny Cozumel. We wanted to let you know that the day we spent at your PalMar Beach Club we had your homemade tamales, (which are my favorite, by the way!) and they were excellent. Also we think that you have very good employees, Juan (there at the beach club/your house) we especially appreciated him, he treated us very well and we just wanted you to know that. Thanks again for the ride to the ferry, we made the 10:00! Also we were very thankful for your advice to stay there in Playa. We were able to get a room and just enjoy our last day on the beach which is what I really wanted. We were within walking distance from the bus that took us to the airport the next morning so it was all very convenient. You were very helpful and we will definately recommend your villas to anyone going there in the future.

Sherri and Mauricio thanks for a great day at Palmar Beach Club. We loved the SMALL size of your Beach Club and you made us feel special. The Snorkeling was wonderful. The Snacks were perfect. We loved your swimming pool and the ability to change our clothes after swimming in the clean bathrooms. We will return!
Andy & Patti ~ USA
We will be leaving tommorrow for 2 week stay at Islamar villas and diving with Dive Paradise. All of this along with a car rental was booked through you guys. Not only did you have a professional attitude through all the e-mails in booking the original dates but at the last minute I extended my stay. You and your staff were especially kind through all of this. You got the car extended and went way out of your way to make sure everything was taken care of, not to mention letting me borrow your personal roller bag to go to the market. You extended everything with ease and you are a great asset to Cozumel and Mexico. This will be my 12 th trip and I will never work with anyone else from now on. Thank you Sherri. Jack
J. Marshall ~ Enid Oklahoma, USA
We arrived in Cozumel on the Harmony of the Seas. After 6 days on a crowded ship, we wanted peaceful surroundings. The lounge chairs are available at the beach and by the house, but need padding to make them comfortable. The tables and chairs worked better for us.
The snorkeling was awesome in the crystal clear water. There were ships tours dropping divers and snorkelers just past the buoys. It's a great place for very little money. We each had 2 Dos XX's as part of our admission and purchased guacamole with chips. The guacamole was freshly made and delicious. If you are looking for a posh place, PalMar is not for you. For us, it was wonderful!
J. Postar/T. Bork (Dec. 2016) ~ Boca Raton, FL USA
My husband and I lived in Cozumel for just over 6 months and completly LOVED it! We spent most of our time on the other side of the Island where it is just a completely different world. I highly recommend Cozumel to anyone travelling to the Mayan Riviera. I know so many people who go to Cancun, but have never been to Cozumel even though it is only about 40 minutes away! Take advantage of this beautiful Island!!!

The following must be considered before performing a backup:
An online backup (or a hot backup) is a method of backing up a currently running database. It provides a snapshot of the database image at a certain point in time. Because the backup target is a currently running database, it is likely that uncommitted data will be saved and the backup may affect the operation of other databases.
To perform an online backup, use the cubrid backupdb -C command.
An offline backup (or a cold backup) is a method of backing up a stopped database. It provides a snapshot of the database image at a certain point in time.
To perform an offline backup, use the cubrid backupdb -S command.
An incremental backup, which is dependent upon a full backup, is a method of only backing up data that have changed since the last backup. This type of backup has an advantage of requiring less volume and time than a full backup. CUBRID supports backup levels 0, 1 and 2. A higher level backup can be performed sequentially only after a lower lever backup is complete.
To perform an incremental backup, use the cubrid backupdb -l <level> command.
The following is an example of an incremental backup. With this example, we will examine backup levels in detail.
A compress backup is a method of backing up the database by compressing it. This type of backup reduces disk I/O costs and saves disk space because it requires less backup volume.
To perform a compress backup, use the cubrid backupdb -z|--compress command.
A parallel or multi-thread backup is a method of performing as many backups as the number of threads specified. In this way, it reduces backup time significantly. Basically, threads are given as many as the number of CPUs in the system.
To perform a parallel backup, use the cubrid backupdb -t|--thread-count command.

Thai Red Curry MusselsWatercress is prized in Asian cuisine for its peppery flavor and in this dish stands up to the sweet spiciness of the mussels in a coconut-laced red curry sauce.

Saag TofuAlso known as palak paneer, saag paneer is an Indian classic composed mostly of spinach and paneer – a cow's-milk cheese that's curdled then pressed until firm.

Anton Krupicka Looks Ahead
While he is frustrated by his 16-month layoff due to injury, the elite ultrarunner says he has learned a lot about himself and his running, and remains optimistic about racing this summer.
Photo by Mick Donges
Most runners know what it's like to deal with time away due to injury, and elite runners are no exception, but Colorado's mountain man—known for twice winning the Leadville 100-Mile Endurance Run and finishing second at the now-famous 2010 Western States 100—has been completely absent from the ultra-trail racing scene since early in 2011.
The reason? A nagging shin injury that won't go away.
Krupicka first noticed trouble in January 2011. "I was doing speed work to get ready for [Texas'] Rocky Raccoon 100-mile and I started having pain about three weeks before the race," says Krupicka. "I ran the race carrying the injury, which obviously didn't help things. I started taking lots of time off following Rocky, but was able to run little bits here and there through the spring."
The diagnosis was medial-tibial stress syndrome—tendonitis in the shin. "It's basically an aggravation of the posterior tibialis [which controls pronation] that then developed into periostitis," he says. "That's where the tendon lifts the periosteum, which is the sheath or membrane that encases the bone."
Krupicka, who usually logs huge mileage in the mountains around Boulder, Colorado, says the source of the injury was easy to pinpoint.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a form of brain damage that leads to a rapid decrease of mental function and movement.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; vCJD; CJD; Jacob-Creutzfeldt disease
CJD is thought to be caused by a protein called a prion. A prion causes normal proteins to fold abnormally. This affects the other proteins' ability to function.
There are several types of CJD. The disorder is very rare, occurring in about 1 out of 1 million people. It usually first appears between ages 20 and 70. Symptoms usually start in the late 50s.
CJD can be grouped into two types: classic or new variant disease.
The classic types of CJD are:
Classic CJD is not related to mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalitis).
However, variant CJD (vCJD) is a form of the disease that is related to mad cow disease. The infection that causes the disease in cows is believed to be the same one that causes vCJD in humans.
Variant CJD accounts for less than 1% of cases, and it tends to affect younger people. However, fewer than 200 people worldwide have had this disease.
Variant CJD can be caused by exposure to contaminated products. Other vCJD cases have occurred when people were given corneal transplants, other tissues, or blood transfusions from infected donors. It may also have been caused by contaminated electrodes used in brain surgery (before instruments started to be properly disinfected).
CJD may be related to several other diseases caused by prions, including:
CJD is rarely confused with other types of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease) because in CJD, the symptoms get worse much more quickly.
Early in the disease, a nervous system and mental examination will show memory problems and changes in other intellectual functions. Later in the disease, a motor system examination may show:
There is loss of coordination and changes in the cerebellum, the area of the brain that controls coordination (cerebellar ataxia). An eye examination shows areas of blindness that the person may not notice.
Tests used to diagnose this condition may include:
The disease can only be confirmed with a brain biopsy or autopsy. It is very rare anymore for brain biopsy to be done to look for this disease.
There is no known cure for this condition. Interleukins and other medications may help slow the disease. The person may need care early in the disease. Medications may be needed to control aggressive behaviors.
Providing a safe environment, controlling aggressive or agitated behavior, and meeting the person's needs may require monitoring and assistance in the home or in a care facility. Family counseling may help the family cope with the changes needed for home care.
Visiting nurses or aides, volunteer services, homemakers, adult protective services, and other community resources may help care for the person with CJD.
People with this condition may need help controlling unacceptable or dangerous behaviors. This involves rewarding positive behaviors and ignoring negative behaviors (when it is safe). They may also need help getting oriented to their surroundings.
Getting legal help with advance directives, powers of attorney, and other legal actions early in the disorder can make it easier to make ethical decisions about the CJD patient's care.
The outcome of CJD is very poor. Within 6 months or less after symptoms begin, the person will be unable to care for himself or herself.
The disorder is fatal in a short time, usually within 8 months. However, a few people survive for as long as 1 or 2 years. The cause of death is usually infection, heart failure, or respiratory failure.
CJD is not a medical emergency. However, getting diagnosed and treated early may make the symptoms easier to control, give patients time to make advance directives, and give families extra time to come to terms with the condition.
Medical equipment should be treated to remove the proteins that may cause the disease. People who have a history of CJD should not donate a cornea or tissue.
Most countries now have strict guidelines for managing infected cows to avoid transmitting CJD to humans.

This afternoon one of my co-workers stood in my office sobbing. Every few seconds she would catch her breath, sort of gaining composure, only to drift back into tears. She poured out, between the bursts of sniffles, her gutwrenching story of an inexplicable break up. The boy she loved claimed to no longer love, or even worse, no longer to need her. It was actually more complicated than that really. I suppose it always is. As she neared the end of her story, she asked candidly, "What do I do?"
And what do I say? My mind is a perfect blank slate. I just sort of stammered something already obvious and then offered a hug. What's amazing about that encounter is that I see it happen often enough. All of our high flying talk about "the cross" and "suffering" and "love" and "the impossible" and "miracles" and "resurrection" and "choice" disappear in the face of pain. The problem of pain for me isn't the inability to explain its existence. The problem of pain is simply knowing how to love the person who doesn't NEED the explanation. While we can glibly say that the hug is enough, and it may be for some, there is still the expectant look on the other's face waiting for the words that will irrevocably release them.
I have no such Word.
While I can say something pious such as "God sees when even the smallest of sparrow's falls to the ground," the inevitable response is simply that the sparrow still falls…now what?
It's then that I'm left with saying the most honest thing imaginable, "I don't know what to say."

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Snyder calls for auto fee hikes, gas tax shift for road repairs
LANSING (AP) – Gov. Rick Snyder urged Michigan legislators to put aside short-term political concerns and approve tax and fee increases needed to raise an additional $1.2 billion a year to patch up Michigan's ailing roads and bridges.
Generating new money for Michigan's transportation network was the centerpiece of Snyder's third annual State of the State address, delivered Wednesday to a joint session of the state Legislature in the Capitol. The Republican governor sought support from both parties midway through a turbulent term in which he has pleased business interests but alienated Democrats and organized labor with tax relief for corporations and measures that have weakened unions' powers.
Snyder provided few details of his road plan in his nearly hourlong speech, which also touched on education, insurance reform and a variety of other issues. Instead, he focused on convincing lawmakers facing re-election campaigns next year that rebuilding the state's crumbling transportation infrastructure is important enough to risk upsetting motorists with a request to pay more for gasoline.
"We're not here for us," he told lawmakers. "It's an honor and privilege to be elected, and we're here to serve 10 million people that are counting on us. So let's get the job done."
Republicans skittish about raising taxes said they would give the governor's funding proposals fair consideration, while Democrats said he was continuing to place more burdens on the middle class while giving breaks to wealthy corporations.
In a briefing for reporters beforehand, senior policy adviser Bill Rustem said Snyder favored replacing the tax on fuels paid at the pump with a levy at the wholesale level, which could be passed on to consumers and rise with inflation. He also supports raising the annual motor vehicle registration fee and allowing local governments to increase it even further to raise money for fixing local roads, Rustem said.
"We need to invest more in our roads. … It's time," Snyder said, arguing that while his plan would cost about $120 per vehicle, motorists would recoup most of that by having lower repair bills as highways and local roads are improved. "This is not about costing us money. It is about saving us money and building for the future."
If nothing is done to raise more cash, he said, the cost of fixing Michigan's transportation infrastructure will rise to $25 billion instead of the roughly $10 billion motorists would pay under his proposal, which he said would create 12,000 jobs and prevent 100 crash-related deaths a year.
"This is our opportunity, folks," he said. "We can decide how long we want to argue about it, how political we want to make it, or we can just use some common sense and get it done."
House Speaker Jase Bolger said Republicans declined to endorse particular measures but said the Legislature had to solve the transportation funding shortfall. "We cannot punt this to the future," he said.
Tim Greimel, recently elected as leader of the House Democratic caucus, said Snyder provided too little information about his infrastructure plan. "It's clear the governor's idea of how to pay for roads is yet further increases taxes and fees paid by middle class and working families," he said.
Michigan's retail-level motor fuels tax has been stuck since 1997 at 19 cents per gallon for gasoline and 15 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. State officials say inflation and improved fuel efficiency have steadily eroded the transportation fund's purchasing power, leading to the deterioration of Michigan roads. If nothing is done to raise more repair money, two-thirds of the roads will be in poor condition by 2020, Rustem said.
In addition, Snyder called for moving more state social workers into troubled elementary schools, reforming Michigan's no-fault auto insurance program to limit the amount of medical claims, establishing an agency to crack down on insurance fraud, improving mental health services and establishing a state agency to help military veterans obtain federal benefits.

State worried about Essex County's budget practices
ELIZABETHTOWN – State comptroller's auditors say Essex County's financial condition is getting worse because the Board of Supervisors has not been adopting budgets that are structurally balanced.
An audit report released last week criticized the board for relying too much on reserves to finance the county's operations. The county's fund balance has declined by $12.32 million over the last three fiscal years, from $36.4 million at the start of the 2010 fiscal year to $24 million at the end of fiscal year 2012.
The audit also found that the county did not repay advances from the general fund to enterprise funds by the end of the fiscal year, leaving operating deficits and declining fund and cash balances.
It states that the county's financial condition was likely to decline further this year because the board had adopted a budget that follows the same budgeting practices as in the past.
"Although we do not consider the County to be fiscally stressed at this time, these declining trends will result in fiscal instability if allowed to continue," the audit report reads.
County Manager Dan Palmer wrote in a response to the audit that he agrees with the auditors' assessment. The audit notes that Palmer's tentative budgets since 2009 have all included a section stressing that the board can't continue to rely as much on fund balance, but the board's chairman and the chairman of the finance committee argued to auditors that the county's budgeting practices "have been prudent by returning fund balance to taxpayers that the County has accumulated through conservative budgeting in prior fiscal years and by limited real property tax increases to reasonable amounts."
The budget the county Board of Supervisors is working on for 2014 includes less spending and more revenue. It would raise property taxes by 15 percent over this year because the county doesn't have as much fund balance to put toward lowering taxes.
Palmer and Linda Wolf, certified public accountant and purchasing agent for the county, have developed a five-year plan to get the county back on the track of not using as much fund balance. It starts with the 15 percent increase in the tax levy in the coming year, followed by gradually declining hikes over the next five years.
Palmer wrote that the audit fails to recognize that the primary reason the county has been over-relying on fund balance is because of unfunded mandates from the state and the tax cap it enacted in recent years. He writes that more than 20 percent of the county's payroll costs are driven by state retirement contributions, which have skyrocketed in recent years. He notes that local governments are trying to keep their tax levies low despite those cost increases in order to meet the tax cap.
The audit also found that there aren't enough internal controls over the county's payroll to safeguard the county's assets, there aren't comprehensive written policies overseeing the payroll process, and officials didn't segregate payroll duties appropriately. Because of that, auditors found that county employees were both over- and underpaid, and that their leave accrual records weren't maintained correctly.
Auditors also wrote that there isn't enough limit to users' access to in the county's payroll system, potentially opening it up to undetected abuses.
Palmer acknowledges and agrees with the payroll findings.
"Problems associated with tracking and keeping time records has been an ongoing issue," he wrote.
He added that the county has looked at buying a payroll system that would solve the problems. The cost of it has been prohibitive so far, but the county has found a way to reduce the cost and it has been approved by the board.
A full copy of the audit report can be found on the comptroller's website at www.osc.state.ny.us/localgov/audits/counties/2013/essex.htm.
