Mountain Pygmy Possum
The Mountain Pygmy Possum (Burramys parvus) is a small, mouse-sized (weighs 45 g) nocturnal marsupial of Australia found in dense alpine rock screes and boulder fields, mainly southern Victoria and around Mount Kosciuszko in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales at elevations from 1300 to 2230 m.[2] At almost 14 cm, its prehensile tail is longer than its 11 cm combined head and body length. Its diet consists of insects (such as the Bogong Moth), fleshy fruits, nuts, nectar and seeds. Its body is covered in a thick coat of fine grey fur except for its stomach, which is cream colored; its tail is hairless. On the underside of the female's body is a pouch containing four teats. This possum is the only extant species in the Burramys genus.[1] It is also the only Australian mammal restricted to alpine habitat.[2]
The Mountain Pygmy Possum was first described as a Pleistocene fossil by Robert Broom in 1896. It was thought to be extinct until 1966, when a living specimen was discovered in a ski-hut on Mount Hotham.[3]
As of 1992, there were two geographically isolated populations: Mount Bogong - Mount Higginbotham/Mount Hotham (Victoria) and Kosciuszko National Park (New South Wales). For most of the year, males and females live apart from each other. The females live on the better part of the rocky slopes, while the males live on the margins, usually lower on the mountain. In order to breed, the males migrate to the females' habitat. However, during the peak of the ski season on Mount Higginbotham, the males had to cross a road which put their survival in jeopardy. In an attempt to solve the problem, a "Tunnel of Love" was constructed under the road and a road sign was put in place to warn drivers.
To further preserve the Mountain Pygmy Possum, a small proportion of the Perisher Blue Ski Resort, New South Wales, Australia, has been 'roped-off' to prevent resort guests (skiers and snowboarders) from disturbing the possums whilst they hibernate.[citation needed] It is estimated that there are only about 2000 Mountain Pygmy Possums remaining.[4]

Which other tea did you get?
I restocked s'mores and also picked up some white chocolate and blueberry crumble!
Is crumble the green tea?
It has both black and green tea in it. It's one of the new spring teas…not to be confused with blueberry cream.

text: Hi all. Our daughter is 7 months. We have a crib next to the bed and we start her off sleeping in it every night, then she invariably ends up in the bed with us at some point in the middle of the night and remains there until morning. She's a good sleeper but wakes usually 2 or 3 times each night and wants to feed from mama before she goes back. Does she really need the milk? Did we condition her to do this and is it a healthy habit? And lastly, when is a preferred age for the transition to her own room/bed? We're pretty comfortable with our co-sleeping situation and we all 3 sleep well generally, I just want to do the right thing for healthy developement and haven't talked to many people about it. Any insight would be great. Thanks

7:34 p.m. | Poe is elected with 56.6 perfect of the vote and will return to the City Commission.
7:28 p.m. | Poe is here, telling Norton to relax, that there is nothing more to do. It's an all-Poe crowd, as Skop is holding a party at a restaurant on Newberry Road.
7:22 p.m. | 30 of 35 precincts with early and absentee: Poe 55.71 percent, Skop 44.28 percent.
7:15 p.m. | Results coming in. With about half of the 35 precincts (no early voting or absentee ballots), Poe has 1,784 votes (54 percent) and Skop has 1,519 votes (56 percent).
7:04 p.m. | Here at the supervisor's office downtown, where only reporters have gathered so far, Carpenter announced that polls are closed. The 2012 city election season is over. Now, we wait to see who will take office May 17 alongside Yvonne Hinson-Rawls, who won the District 1 seat outright last month.
2:32 p.m. | Alachua County Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter said there were no issues to report at the polls but turnout seemed down compared to the Jan. 31 regular city election, when the GOP presidential primary was also on the ballot.
"Things seem to be running smoothly," Carpenter said. "(Precinct workers) are saying that it is a little quieter than the last election, which is to be expected."
The weather has been cooperating, she said, so "that's not a reason not to go vote." There was an uptick around lunch but whether turnout will fall short of the mark set in January remains to be seen.
"We'll see what happens this afternoon," she said.
Original post: The months-long campaigns are nearly over, as polls will closed at 7 p.m. in the runoff election for Gainesville City Commission At-large 1 between Lauren Poe and Nathan Skop.
As reported today 901 voters — or 1.25 percent of eligible voters — cast ballots early. Turnout will need to be 15.7 percent today to equal turnout in the first round of voting last month.
I will be posting updates throughout the evening tonight, here at the top of this post and on Twitter.
Meantime, enjoy the nastiness between the campaigns on Twitter. For example, <;;;;;Skop's campaign consultant, Alex Patton, used profanity in a tweet directed to Poe's campaign manager, Mitchell Norton.

5 Tech Stocks to Buy for 2013
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet Ratings ) -- TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
TheStreet Ratings model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel -- rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 out of 50 stocks TheStreet Ratings has identified as being rated a "Buy" heading into the New Year. To view a list of all 50 stocks simply download our FREE report by clicking: HERE
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM"> TSM) is rated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a grade of A+. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results.
To view a list of all 50 stocks simply download our FREE report by clicking: HERE
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- TSM's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 4.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 65.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income increased by 99.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $861.41 million to $1,722.05 million.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 94.11% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 29.45% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, TSM should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MFG CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MFG CO reported lower earnings of $0.86 versus $1.08 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.07 versus $0.86).

Monkees guitarist Peter Tork reveals he's suffering from rare form of cancer
By Chris Johnson
05th March 2009
Peter Tork, pictured in 1967, best known for his time in The Monkees, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma and is expected to fully recover after surgery and radiation.
Former Monkees guitarist Peter Tork has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, it has emerged.
The 1960s musician and actor, 67, said he has a slow-growing form of head and neck cancer.
Called Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, it is most commonly found in the salivary glands, but in his case was discovered on his tongue.
Tork made the revelation on his website. He explained: 'It's a bad news, good news situation.
'It's so rare a combination (on the tongue) that there isn't a lot of experience among the medical community about this particular combination.
'On the other hand, the type of cancer it is, never mind the location, is somewhat well known, and the prognosis, I'm told, is good.'
He was due to undergo extensive surgery in New York yesterday after making the announcement about his condition on Tuesday.
Doctors will follow the procedure with a round of radiation treatment and preliminary findings from a biopsy show that the cancer has not spread.
Tork's four-decade long career in the public eye started with the high energy made-for-TV band The Monkees.
The Emmy-winning television show, which ran from 1966 to 1968, still continues to be screened on television networks around the world.
The group has staged several highly successful reunion tours with three of the original members, Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones fondly known by dedicated fans as the '3kees'.
Despite the bad news, the star has remained upbeat and hopeful about the future.
In his online message, he added: 'I am extraordinarily grateful, amazed and humbled by the encouragement, affection and support I've received so far.'
Tork, who is the current bandleader of blues-rock band Shoe Suede Blues, even said he hopes to be back performing this summer.
He added: 'Barring any complications, I fully expect to honor a performance date I have this June with Shoe Suede Blues.
'We're appearing in Manchester, Connecticut and I'm looking forward to that and all our tour dates.'
And hinting at another Monkees reunion, he added: 'Well, never say never.'
In 1986 with the help of MTV and an enthusiastic blend of old and new fans their 20th Anniversary Tour was a massive success.
It led to a new Greatest Hits collection, a brand new hit song - That Was Then This Is Now - a popular video and a star for the band on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Following that comeback were several successful world tours, including one short-lived reunion with the elusive Michael Nesmith of the four-piece band.
All of the Monkees have pursued solo projects in between group tours and appearances.
In addition to his television and personal appearance schedule, Tork has taken up his pen as an advice columnist in The Daily Panic website.
He has also continued to tour Europe and the United States as a solo act and with Shoe Suede Blues, with whom he has also recorded two albums, Saved By The Blues and Cambria Hotel.

Order matters. So much in life builds on what has come before and prepares us for those things that are in our future. So it is no accident that Sunday comes before Monday. Since the Early Church, Sunday has been both the first day of the week and the day of rest and worship for Christians around the world.
But have we stopped to ask why God gave us Sunday before Monday? What is supposed to happen on that first day of the week, and how should it impact the subsequent days? It is easy to live a life without making those connections. We silo our time between weekend and weekday. Our understanding of the spiritual is carefully kept within the confines of our devotional time and our Sunday worship experience.

Prosecutor wrote:This is gonna get me killed but I'm gonna say it anyway.I don't care if he was self-centered and egotistical. The man gave us seven years of sustained brilliance on the court, night in and night out. He almost never missed a game and he never had a bad game until the Boston series. I haven't seen an athlete like this in Cleveland since Jim Brown.Unlike a lot of NBA stars, he didn't care about stats. He was just as happy to pass the ball as to score. A lot of stars are obsessed with getting their shots and making sure their stat line is full each game, but LeBron was fine with scoring 15 points if the Cavs won. He threw himself into the lane again and again, taking the hard fouls and leading the league in free throw attempts or coming close to it every year. Unlike a lot of stars, he also played defense instead of conserving his energy for offense. Those chase down blocks were some of the most spectacular displays of athleticism I've ever seen. Last year he even asked to check the opponent's best player, and when he decided to shut somebody down, they were shut down. Off the court, LeBron never smashed himself up on a motorcycle. He never got a DWI. He never threw a punch at a guy half his size outside a bar. He didn't sleep with thousands of women like Wilt and Magic or get busted for solicitation. As far as we know he was a good father to his kids and never embarrassed his girlfriend or the Cavs. As a parent myself, that counts a lot more to me than whether he was a Browns fan or what he drove in high school. Did he demand special perks and favors? Yeah. Do I give a crap that he wanted the closest locker to the trainer's room? Give me a break. Or that he wore a Yankees hat to a Tribe playoff game, or stiffed a waitress on a tip? Or insisted on special access for his entourage? Sorry, I don't give a rip. Hell, he probably had a really good parking spot at the Gund, too. I'm surprised nobody has brought that up.Not saying hi to Joe Tait in seven years is inexcusable, but the other crap is just crap. He's been treated like a King since he was about 12 years old, so his LeBron-centric view of the world is understandable. Do I wish he took the last shot more often and passed to the 3-point line less? Yes. For the first five years or so he either passed on the game winner or missed it. It took him several years to hit his first buzzer beater. I got the impression he was just as happy for someone else to take the last shot. Do I wish he accepted the challenge of bringing a Championship to Cleveland, even at the risk of ending up as another HOF'er with no ring like Malone and Barkley? Yeah. Is he a wuss for passing on that challenge after failing for seven years? I guess it depends on how you define "wuss". LeBron was not perfect but the Cavs were begging for six more years of him, including all those things people are ripping him for now.Somebody described him as "pathetic and loathsome". He certainly had a hell of a sense of entitlement, but I think that might be overstating it just a bit.

Scott, thanks for the info about the cheddar. Can you give me any other details on Umberto's Sicilian? Crust, sauce, etc...? Or a description of the Boston area Sicilian pies in general? It's been so long, my memory is hazy. The one I made last night was very good ( hubby kept complimenting it & he's from Salem ) but not quite it. It's one of those cases that I'd recognize it if I bit into it .
Jeanette, It was a simple math exercise. Peter

Product Placement ~ Maisto Custom Shop All Stars Release 10.2

Friday was the day of painfully cathartic films. Two of them dealt in grunge realism (OSLO, AUGUST 31st and JULIA), one in piercing emotional realism related in dizzying theatrical terms (THE BALLAD OF NARAYAMA). Out in the real world, tragedies to rival the movies continued apace.
Saturday was the day of cutting loose. It had rained all week and now the sun was out. Chaz and Tilda Swinton led an all-audience dance, which set a giddy mood. The sight of Professor David Bordwell neck-popping to Barry White is a memory I'll carry to my grave–as is that of Chaz onstage dancing the way you dance in the living room. Free spirits. "Dancing with Roger!" Tilda shouted while grooving with Chaz.
The films selected for today sustained that giddiness, even as they ventured into deep, dark, disturbing places.
BLANCANIEVES is a magical, morbid and melodramatic antidote to the recent rash of plasticized, trillion-dollar fairy tale movies. Pablo Berger's radiant persona during the Q&A mirrors the dark glow of his silent/loud film.
KUMARE starts off like a reality TV stunt, punking various New Age acolytes looking for a guru; ends up saying something quite moving about belief, trust, self-perception and self-determination. Did Roger's selection here anticipate our tireless canonization of him? That would be cool, and quite characteristic of our Movie Savior. All hail.
ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW . Well, Damon Packard's underground classic REFLECTIONS OF EVIL ventured into this thematic turf first, turning the Universal Studios theme park into a nightmare similar to the one that beseiges this film's Disneyland vacationers. But that was a decade ago, before cinema-quality cameras were small enough to sneak into theme parks. ESCAPE's guerilla fantasy-horror is as seamless, as feverishly inventive as BLANCANIEVES.
Writer-Director Randy Moore was reserved about criticizing Disney during the Q&A at first, until insistent questions about Disney-as-Satan prompted him to describe the company's products as a force that invades every home, indoctrinates every child. He characterized sneaking around in Walt Disney World as a kind of reciprocal home invasion.
Roger once mentioned that TOUCH OF EVIL was a dark and violent film that nevertheless left him feeling happy. Or something like that. I can't find the quote presently, but here's a familiar one that gets at why ESCAPE's intense Freudian horror is so hilarious: "It's not what a film is about, but how it is about it."
James Ponsoldt's THE SPECTACULAR NOW, Saturday's last film, has been compared to the teen dramedies of John Hughes. I didn't get to catch the whole thing, but from what I saw of it, John Hughes has never written or directed anything so elegantly, compassionately "kitchen sink."
B, a volunteer at the fest (U of I economics major/future filmmaker), rushed into the Virginia theater's back room all choked up, warning me that I was missing "a very, very moving film." I went back into the theater to witness rare wisdom and tenderness. The beauty of its final scenes are all about the sorrows of missing out on all the good that is in your reach [he typed as the Q&A proceeded without him].

Kolding is an old royal city that offers you many historic sites. Visit the beautifully restored Koldinghus Castle ruins which tower over the city and the castle lake. Or head south of Kolding to see Christiansfeld, the most beautifully preserved old Moravian town in Northern Europe. Founded by the Moravian brethren in the 18th century, the town is utterly unique as it was planned before it was built and has an impressively structured layout. Christiansfeld is a candidate to be included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Wander the streets of the oldest town in Denmark. Situated on flat marshland, with wonderfully well-preserved houses, streets and monasteries from medieval times, Ribe is a unique visitor experience. The town also homes a fantastic Viking museum and you can climb to the top of the impressive cathedral's Commoners' Tower, to take in amazing views of the old town and surrounding area.
Denmark's oldest market town is famous for lace and special bay window houses in Uldgade. Just near by and easily accessible, you will find the small town of Møgeltønder, known for its pretty streets and Schackenborg Castle, where HRH Prince Joachim and his family resides.
South Jutland has many other historic towns, popular with visitors. Haderslev offers a quaint old town dominated by a cathedral, while Aabenraa is known for its special doors with their unique designs. Sønderborg, the main city on Als island, is beautifully situated by Flensburg Fjord and you can enjoy lovely views of Sønderborg Castle along its quay. Why not time your visit to Gråsten with the royal family? They visit Gråsten Castle together once a year.
As Denmark's historic borderland, South Jutland is rich in opposing histories and unique culture. You will find South Jutland to be an interesting area with a long history.

Disagree with you on that one. That period had some good pop music from 1981-1985. I can see coming off the 60's and stuff - that period was confusing, jaded , and very pop oriented. But, those corporate rock groups put down some good pop stuff for the time. No doubt.
Don't forget the Police were nailing down some decent pop too. And so was Foreigner and Journey. Wouldn't you say that Synchronicity and Foreigner 4 are sort of - somewhat similar sounding for the time? I think both are pretty good records. Granted Synchronicity had some duff songs like the Summers and COpeland tracks with their vocals - but Foreginer 4 and Journey had a whole bunch of decent songs on them.
Remember it was around the time of MTV - so, things were very bizarre and sort of weird - it was going into a phase of sort of visual stuff. One of the reasons why Christopher Cross had a hard time crossing over....after 1981

Expensive for Quality

About Me Student, Teacher
The solar system colors and sizes looked great. When we tried to inflate most of the smaller shapes were oval or lopsided. The smaller ones were also really hard to inflate because the nozzle didn't have an air trap so they would start to deflate as soon as you were done inflating. We ended up finding the same thing much cheaper and should have gone with the cheaper version of the same thing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The diaspora experience has long been "America's Story." As Russell Shorto's book, The Island at the Center of the World, details, seventeenth-century Manhattan was a microcosm of the much larger American diaspora to follow: among the island's then-400 inhabitants, 18 different languages were spoken. Centuries later, this description not only fits New York, but also the United States as a whole. Today, almost one quarter of Americans are first- or second-generation diasporans.
Members of diaspora communities are grassroots ambassadors, often returning to their countries of origin or heritage to speak about America's values. For such communities, supporting higher living standards, economic growth, and political stability is about helping their friends and families, not simply a matter of traditional policy or diplomacy.
In the United States, immigrant-owned companies generate an estimated $67 billion in business each year. Strikingly, immigrants are 30 percent more likely to form new businesses than U.S.-born citizens. Nowhere is the role of diasporans more prominent than in Silicon Valley -- the innovation capital of the world: 52 percent of all startups there have been founded by immigrants. These companies generated $52 billion in revenue and employed 450,000 workers in 2005. Immigration, across many decades and generations, has created jobs for millions of people in the United States.
For America to remain the world's beacon, as well as its most dynamic economy and society, we need to keep our doors open and be a land of opportunity. We need to invite, welcome, and honor those from around the world who want to come here to build a new life and, in so doing, help build a dynamic, prosperous, and competitive America that will thrive in the coming decades and centuries. Immigrants from around the world enrich America, are deeply committed to its success, and make us a more innovative and energetic country.
About the Author: Robert D. Hormats serves as Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment.

WASHINGTON, December 18, 2013--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is continuing to move swiftly and consistently to take enforcement action in response to animal welfare violations. As part of its effort to make its actions transparent and accessible to the public, APHIS is highlighting enforcement actions taken in response to violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) and Horse Protection Act (HPA).
Copies of documents related to these actions, as well as copies of official warnings, are available in the APHIS FOIA Reading Room at /foia/enforcement_actions.php.
During the month of November, APHIS filed administrative complaints alleging that the following persons violated the AWA or HPA:

AWA Docket No. 14-0022; Brian Staples, d/b/a Staples Safari Zoo
AWA Docket No. 14-0024; Plumpton Park Zoological Gardens, Inc.
AWA Docket No. 14-0023; Beverly Ann Fields, d/b/a B & B Kennel.
AWA Docket No. 14-0035 and 14-0036; CJ's Great Cats World Park, Inc. and Craig Wagner.
HPA Docket No. 14-0017, 14-0018, and 14-0019; Allan S. Callaway, d/b/a Allan Callaway Stables, Sidney Gatrell Blackmon, Jr., and Mary Elizabeth Davis.
The following persons entered into pre-litigation settlement agreements (also known as stipulations) in connection with alleged violations of the AWA or HPA:
APHIS Case No. FL130157-AC; Zoo World Zoological & Botanical Conservatory.
APHIS Case No. MA12004-AC; Harvard Medical School.
APHIS Case No. OH120044-AC; DML Kennel, LLC.
USDA's administrative law judges and judicial officer issued decisions and orders under the AWA or HPA involving the following persons:
HPA Docket No. 13-0346; Brandi L. Mills.
HPA Docket No. 13-0242; Nicholas Plafcan
HPA Docket No. 13-0022; Michael Chiappari
The AWA requires that minimum standards of care and treatment be provided for certain animals bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. It excludes those animals raised for food or fiber. Persons who operate facilities in these categories must provide their animals with adequate care and treatment in the areas of housing, handling, sanitation, nutrition, water, veterinary care and protection from extreme weather and temperatures.
To ensure that its licensees are meeting the AWA standards, APHIS inspectors conduct routine, unannounced inspections of all licensed facilities. Violations of the AWA can lead to penalties, including official warnings, civil penalties and license suspensions/revocations. For more information on the inspection and enforcement processes, visit APHIS' animal care website at www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/.
The HPA is the federal law that prohibits horses subjected to a practice called soring from participating in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. Soring is a cruel and abusive practice used to accentuate a horse's gait. APHIS works actively with the horse industry to protect against such abuse, ensuring that only sound and healthy horses participate in shows, sales, exhibitions and auctions. APHIS' ultimate goal is to end the inhumane practice of soring completely.
The HPA authorizes APHIS to issue civil penalties and to disqualify violators from participating in horse shows, exhibitions and sales. Both the AWA and HPA contain criminal penalties as well.

Dissecting The Numbers
New York state's new fiscal spending plan includes economic development initiatives and tax breaks that will help people and businesses in Chautauqua County.
New York lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo Thursday night passed their third straight on-time budget. The $135 billion budget given final legislative approval by the Assembly holds the spending increase to 2 percent. The Senate approved its bills early Wednesday for the budget that was due Sunday, the start of the new fiscal year.
One initiative included in the budget is a program promoting tourism and agriculture through Market NY. The program is supposed to bolster tourism and better market state-made foods and produce.
"The budget also delivers for our farmers," said state Sen. Cathy Young, R-C-I-Olean. "Our family farms are the backbone of our upstate economy, and there are several initiatives to strengthen agriculture, including investments to expand marketing New York products such as maple, apple and berries; increase dairy profit teams; support more research and education; and launch the Market NY initiative to bolster tourism and better market our foods, wines, craft beers, fruits and produce."
State Assemblyman Andy Goodell, R-C-I-Chautauqua County, said one of the more important items in the budget for Chautauqua County for economic development is increasing funding for New York Wine & Grape Foundation, NY FarmNet and New York Apple Association.
"Those initiatives play an important role in helping local farmers," Goodell said. "The state budget also includes a special tax reduction for smaller farms. This would be for farmers who are filing their personal income tax that employee more than one person and make less than a quarter million (dollars). They will be able to exempt 3 percent of their income. The tax credit is to help family farmers in particular."
There also is a hiring tax credit for employing returning soldiers and young people that will help local businesses. The budget includes a permanent tax credit for the hiring of veterans and $181 million in tax credits over three years for businesses that hire youth.
"Our heroic service men and women who give so much to protect our freedom should be welcomed home with the promise of a job and economic opportunity," Young said.
Goodell said the tax credit for hiring young people is to help businesses with the raise in minimum wage that will increase $1.75 to $9 in 2014.
"A lot of employers in Chautauqua County hire students during the summer. The budget includes a special tax credit for employers who hire teenagers to help offset the projected costs with the increase in minimum wage," he said. "The tax credit doesn't kick in this year, but will next year when minimum wage increases."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo had proposed a $120 million cut for a program that cares for developmentally disabled youths and adults in group homes. That was about a 6-percent cut in the $2 billion state share of the cost. Cuomo and legislators reduced that cut to about 4.5 percent in the passed budget. However, Goodell said he spoke on the floor of the Assembly to have the whole amount restored in the budget.
"We were able to restore $30 million, which is matched by the federal government," he said. "I argued for full restoration, which would have been another $90 million. Unfortunately, the cut funding will have a negative impact on The Resource Center and Aspire in Chautauqua County."

Support veterans — buy a poppy
The men and women who have served this nation in times of war should have a place in our hearts at all times, but most especially as the Memorial Day weekend approaches.
One way to show that these veterans are remembered and valued is to buy a poppy and wear it prominently and with pride.
Soon after World War I, selling poppies to raise funds to help veterans became popular as one of the ways that support for those who have served could be shown. The American Legion adopted the poppy as its memorial flower in 1921.
The sale of poppies locally by American Legion Post 130 and American Legion Auxiliary Unit 130 is a long tradition that deserves enthusiastic support from all of us. That campaign began today and continues Friday.
The paper poppies being sold in Fort Dodge are made by veterans who live in the veterans home in Marshalltown. Throughout the nation, disabled veterans working at veterans hospitals and in poppy workrooms produce the memorial poppies sold in other parts of the country. The pay these veterans receive for that work is especially welcome to these heroes, some of whom must get by on very limited incomes.
The money being raised helps veterans in various ways. According to the American Legion, all the money this program generates is used to support veterans affairs work and rehabilitation efforts undertaken by the Legion and its Auxiliary.
Help with this important work and show tribute to our veterans.
Buy a poppy today or Friday.

Thanks for the link, Tom! Great article. I think last year Hop posted a link to some footage of that horse caravan from Yunnan to Beijing.
Honestly, I could care less about the health benefits of any tea ... as long as it's not killing me, I'm happy. (That reminds me, I still have to do the lead testing on those pots!)
But I and some other TeaChatters have tentatively expressed a preference for young sheng over old. Conditioning, I suppose: it's what we are used to.

West Haven + Connecticut
By Jack Greenberg
Scholastic Kids Press Corps
There are plenty of things that make my state, Connecticut, a special place. For one thing, Connecticut is one of the only states that has a female governor, Jodi Rell.
Many tourists travel to Connecticut in the fall to see the leaves change colors. In the spring and summer, tourists come to Connecticut to walk on the sandy beaches. Tourists and residents enjoy winter sports in Connecticut such as skiing and snowboarding.
Tourists also come to see the Mystic Aquarium and Seaport, the Peabody Museum, Groton Submarine Base, and many other attractions. All these attractions help Connecticut's economy.
Several very famous people come from Connecticut who deserve mentioning. Prudence Crandall had enough courage to go against all odds and open a school for African-Americans many decades ago. Noah Webster impacted the world by putting together a now-famous dictionary.
Nathan Hale, a Connecticut hero, volunteered to spy on the British during the Revolutionary War. When the British caught him, he was executed. His final words were, "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
During the Revolutionary War, West Haven was attacked by the British three times. Thomas Painter was a historical figure that worked to defend the city. He sat on a huge rock looking for British ships.
Another great thing about Connecticut is that it is located near New York and Boston, so residents can easily commute for work, entertainment, and recreation.

Taking moxifloxacin increases the risk that you will develop tendinitis (swelling of fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) or have a tendon rupture (tearing of fibrous tissue that connects a bone to a muscle) during your treatment or for up to several months afterward. These problems may affect tendons in your shoulder, your hand, the back of your ankle, or in other parts of your body. Tendinitis or tendon rupture may happen to people of any age, but the risk is highest in people over 60 years of age. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant; kidney disease; a joint or tendon disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis (a condition in which the body attacks its own joints, causing pain, swelling, and loss of function); or if you participate in regular physical activity. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking oral or injectable steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak), methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Sterapred). If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendinitis, stop taking moxifloxacin, rest, and call your doctor immediately: pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or difficulty in moving a muscle. If you experience any of the following symptoms of tendon rupture, stop taking moxifloxacin and get emergency medical treatment: hearing or feeling a snap or pop in a tendon area, bruising after an injury to a tendon area, or inability to move to or bear weight on affected area.
Taking moxifloxacin may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis (a disorder of the nervous system that causes muscle weakness) and cause severe difficulty breathing or death. Tell your doctor if you have myasthenia gravis. Your doctor may tell you not to take moxifloxacin. If you have myasthenia gravis and your doctor tells you that you should take moxifloxacin, call your doctor immediately if you experience muscle weakness or difficulty breathing during your treatment.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking moxifloxacin.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with moxifloxacin. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or check the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Moxifloxacin is used to treat certain infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinus, skin, and abdominal (stomach area) infections caused by bacteria. Moxifloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics will not work against colds, flu, or other viral infections.
Moxifloxacin comes as tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food once a day for 5 to 21 days. The length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Your doctor will tell you how long to take moxifloxacin. Take moxifloxacin at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take moxifloxacin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment with moxifloxacin. If your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse, call your doctor.
Take moxifloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Do not stop taking moxifloxacin without talking to your doctor unless you experience certain serious side effects listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING and SIDE EFFECTS sections. If you stop taking moxifloxacin too soon or if you skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
Moxifloxacin is also sometimes used to treat tuberculosis (TB) and endocarditis (infection of the heart lining and valves) when other medications cannot be used. Moxifloxacin also may be used to treat or prevent anthrax (a serious infection that may be spread on purpose as part of a bioterror attack) in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air if other medications are not available for this purpose. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking moxifloxacin,
Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day during your treatment with moxifloxacin.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Moxifloxacin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately, but do not stop taking moxifloxacin without talking to your doctor:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, or the symptoms of tendinitis or tendon rupture described in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, stop taking moxifloxacin and call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical help:
Moxifloxacin may cause problems with bones, joints, and tissues around joints in children. Moxifloxacin should not be given to children younger than 18 years old.
Moxifloxacin may cause nerve damage that may not go away even after you stop taking moxifloxacin. This damage may occur soon after you begin taking moxifloxacin. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: numbness, tingling, pain, or burning in the arms or legs; or a change in your ability to feel light touch, pain, heat, or cold. If you experience these symptoms, do not take any more moxifloxacin until you talk to your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe a different antibiotic for you to take instead of moxifloxacin.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking moxifloxacin or giving moxifloxacin to your child.
Moxifloxacin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).
Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website ( Web Site) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to moxifloxacin.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Your prescription is probably not refillable. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish taking moxifloxacin, call your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

With all due respect to Sen. Sherrod Brown, Obamacare is nothing like Medicare. First, Medicare was passed on a bipartisan basis in Congress, while Obamacare was rushed through Congress (we have to pass the bill to find out what is in it) with no Republican support.
Second, Medicare only affects those who are 65 and older and participation is voluntary, while Obamacare affects all citizens by forcing them to buy insurance or face a punishment in the form of tax penalties. Additionally, Medicare did not force the cancellations of more than 5 million existing individual insurance policies nor the expected cancellation of a majority of employer-provided policies by the end of 2014. Those estimates are provided under the Federal Register Rules and Regulations dated June 17, 2010, and known by the White House since 2010.
Thus, the American people are finding out the hard way that they were deceived by the promises that if one likes his doctor, he can keep him, and if one likes his health plan, he can keep it.
To make matters worse, many are beginning to experience significant increases in premiums and higher deductibles under the new plans, despite the promise that they would see an average cost reduction of $2,500 per year.
No, Obamacare is nothing like Medicare. The federal government cannot blame others for the devastating impact the law is having on millions of American lives. It is time for those who voted for Obamacare to take full responsibility.

My technological collapse actually came at a very good time, because I was starting to really hate the internet anyway. Considering I own this blog, saying that feels a little like hypocritical self-loathing, but it's true. I really dislike the direction that the internet drives social interaction. The anonymity seems to make people think that there's no consequences attached to their words, and they write and behave in ways I sincerely hope they would not in face-to-face situations.
If you haven't read last week's Sports Illustrated piece A Light in the Darkness, about mental health issues and baseball, you should. I worked in the mental health field for what felt like forever, and it's an area of particular interest.
Anyway, in the article Ian Snell spoke really candidly about the fact that he seriously considered suicide a couple years ago. And I think the following excerpt should serve as an interesting reminder when we're tempted to make cruel personal attacks because of ultimately meaningless play on the field:
"...Worst of all, Snell could not forget what he kept hearing and reading in Pittsburgh: the boos from the stands and the cruel insults online going back to the previous season, when he went 7--12 with a 5.42 ERA. Once the Pirates' minor league pitcher of the year, Snell was now a figure of ridicule. You can find out where these guys live, he would think in a fury, even if they just have some secret name on the Internet.
The loss to the Brewers was a match flickering near all this tinder. Snell felt unbearably alone. Should I just do it? he thought again.
"It was a juggling back and forth, like the angel versus the demon," Snell says. "I felt like I was going to have a heart attack." So he turned the shower dial from hot to cold, trying to cool off, trying to douse a million burning questions: If a player messes up, why does everyone automatically think he's a bad person? Do parents even want me to say hi to their kids and give them high fives? Why am I always being singled out?..."
Now, I'm sure Snell would be the first one to say that the people insulting him were NOT the root cause of his issues, but I think it's worth keeping in mind that we have no idea what's going on in a player's life, what they're feeling and how random words on the internet might affect them at any given time.
I know I'm guilty of it sometimes, but I like to think that this blog is not really like that. I try not to be, anyway. But at the same time, I really have no interest in participating in a community, online or otherwise, where those sorts of negative, fatalistic and personally hurtful words and behaviors are the norm. And I get that feeling more and more about the Twins online world.
I guess I just don't understand the reasoning for it. When we lose, I do feel bad. But I feel bad because I (for the most part) love the team and the players and I want them to win. But we could lose all 162 games, and it would not affect my life one tiny bit. Same thing with winning...I would love to see this team win the World Series. They're a great team and they deserve that success and all the things that come with it. But I don't personally gain anything from it.
I have no personal stake in the team, aside from the fact that they provide me with a certain entertainment value, whether they win or lose.
Neither do you.
I really wish everyone would lighten up a little, I guess.
Now, the players and their families, the managers and coaches and the front office staff and the owners...they're a different story. Their jobs and livelihoods and professional futures are all affected by play on the field. So if they want to take a more live-and-die-with-every-pitch attitude about the game, that's up to them. But there's another line in that SI story that hits home: "Baseball is just a job."
I know I'm glad no one has a blog or Twitter account that's so reactionary about my job performance. I bet you are too.
So, that was a little soap-boxy. I'm sorry. I'm just feeling kind of ambiguous right now.

You didn't run that red light? Tell it to the camera
By KAMEEL STANLEY
Published May 26, 2007
CLEARWATER - About 12:15 on a sunny day in March, a man driving a beige sedan pulled up to the intersection at Fort Harrison Avenue and Turner Street.
The light was red, and he was late for work.
Inch by inch, he slowly passed the white stop line, eventually darting out to make a left turn onto Turner.
Seconds later, Clearwater police Officer Jeff Richardson pulled the man over.
The man denied running the red light, even going to court to fight the $182.50 ticket.
But Richardson, who had been sitting at the same intersection in an unmarked police car, had the whole incident on video.
"I showed the judge the video, and he was found guilty, " Richardson said.
For nearly six months, Richardson and a handful of other Clearwater traffic officers have used video dash-cams to catch motorists who run red lights.
The video cameras are equipped with a special pre-recording feature. When a car runs a red light, all an officer has to do is push a button, and everything recorded in the previous 30 seconds will be saved to a file.
"Our overall objective is to reduce accidents at the top four most dangerous intersections in Clearwater, " said Lt. Nancy Miller, traffic commander.
Those intersections are U.S. 19 and Drew Street; U.S. 19 and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard; U.S. 19 and Sunset Point Road; and Belcher Road at Gulf-to-Bay.
What's more, all four intersections were among Pinellas County's five worst intersections for crashes for three consecutive years - 20002, 2003 and 2004.
"We'd like to get off that list. That's not a list we want to be on, " said Janet Skinner, who wrote the grant request to secure funding for the project.
Seven unmarked cars have been equipped with the cameras, thanks to a $52, 000 grant from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The program been so successful that the department is submitting a request for another 10 cameras.
As of Tuesday, police had issued 613 red light citations at the four key intersections this year.
"The most surprising thing has been how blatant people are, " said Officer Randy Bodle.
In a 15-minute span, Bodle saw several drivers who barely made it through the intersection on a yellow light and one obvious red-light runner on Friday afternoon as he watched at U.S. 19 and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard. The red-light runner was later stopped.
With the video, officers now have clear visual evidence when they go to court, instead of getting into a situation in which it's their word against that of an angry driver.
"That's another tool to back us up, " Richardson said.
With the holiday weekend approaching, the department will be making an even bigger push to get the message out: If you're going to run a red light, don't do it in Clearwater.
"We don't want to make people fearful, but if that's what it takes to get people to stop running these lights ..., " Miller said. "It's not about writing tickets. It's to get them to stop."
