Ted Williams's will was filed in a Florida court yesterday and although it states that he wanted to be cremated, the executor of his estate said that Williams had changed his mind. The executor, Albert Cassidy Jr., said that Williams had decided he wished to be cryonically preserved.
According to the will, Williams's wishes were simple ones. In a will written in 1985 and affirmed in 1996, he said that he wanted no funeral and ''that my remains be cremated and sprinkled at sea off the coast of Florida where the water is very deep.''
But Cassidy, in declaring that Williams had changed his mind, sided with Williams's son, who sent his father's body to be frozen within hours of his death July 5.
In a petition to the probate division of the Citrus County Court in Inverness, Fla., Cassidy said that Williams ''expressed the desire to be cryonically frozen'' sometime after signing his will and that it was his understanding that a ''majority of Mr. Williams's children desire that he remain cryonically preserved.''
In a subsequent statement, Cassidy said he was a lifelong friend of Williams's. ''I was very close to Ted, especially during the final years of his life,'' he said.Continue reading the main story
It is uncertain how a judge will weigh the various factors in this case, several Florida lawyers who specialize in estates said yesterday. Those factors include Williams's written instructions for cremation, statements he may have made in favor of cyronics and how his children want to dispose of his body.
''It is simply undecided,'' said Rohan Kelley, a lawyer from Fort Lauderdale. ''It may well be that a judge hearing a certain set of facts will let a next of kin dispose of the remains in contradiction to a decedent's expressed desire.''
The saga of the Williams family's dispute over Williams's remains became public when Barbara Joyce Williams Ferrell, his daughter from his first marriage, revealed that Williams's body had been sent to the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz. Ferrell, who is known as Bobby-Jo, contended that her half-brother, John Henry Williams, had sent Williams's body to the cryonics center for future financial gain. She said she was convinced that her father wanted to be cremated and that being cyronically preserved violated his wishes.
Ferrell's husband, Mark, called John Henry's action last week ''the worst form of elderly abuse.''
Nonetheless, Cassidy, a businessman from Winter Haven, Fla., said yesterday that Williams had wanted cryonics. Cassidy offered no details about when or why Williams had changed his mind, nor did he say whether Williams had told him directly that he no longer wished to be cremated. But Cassidy, whose father was once in business with Williams, evidently listened to what he was told by John Henry and Williams's third child, Claudia.
John Henry and Claudia, both born to Williams's third wife, are the only beneficiaries of the will. Ferrell was excluded from the will, Williams wrote, ''because I have provided for her during my life.'' For the purpose of the will, he added, Ferrell ''shall be deemed to have predeceased me.''
Cassidy's petition also said for the first time that Claudia Williams approved of the cyronics plan. Until now, only John Henry among the family members had been known to favor freezing his father.
For Cassidy to oppose the cremation request is unusual, several estate lawyers not involved in the case said.
''An executor's sole duty is to carry out the provisions of the will,'' said Bruce Stone, a lawyer in Miami who specializes in estates. ''That's his No. 1 duty, to dispose of the body and the assets.''
Cassidy's petition is only one factor a judge may consider in a hearing on the estate, if it is considered at all. According to Florida law, what an executor wants is meaningless if there are surviving family members.
At the hearing, which was requested by Cassidy yesterday, a judge will be asked to determine if Williams's body should remain frozen or be returned for cremation. No date has been set for the hearing.
Kelley and Stone, the estate lawyers, said that Florida law was not completely clear about what the courts should require to be done with Williams's body. What Williams wrote in his will may not supersede what some of his children want.
''It's all in the hands of next of kin, subject to some consideration of what the decedent wanted,'' Kelley said. ''But even a previously expressed desire in a will is not absolutely binding on the court.''
He said family members could testify that a person might have changed his mind about how to dispose of his remains had he known of new or improving technologies.
Stone said that the next of kin could determine how to dispose of a body if their relative had not expressed a wish. Wills are almost always filed after burial or cremation, but family members usually know what a loved one wanted.
''It was up to Williams to make his next of kin aware of what his instructions were,'' Stone said. ''If there was a complete silence, a judge would probably go along with the wishes of the majority.''
All three Williams siblings and their lawyers met for 10 hours on Monday to try to resolve their differences. But a compromise appears to have been difficult; there is no middle ground between what two of Williams's children prefer, cyronics, and what Ferrell prefers, cremation. According to John Heer, one of Ferrell's lawyers, they had ''civil, candid discussions,'' but they came to no agreement.
After the will was filed, Robert Goldman, a lawyer representing John Henry and Claudia, said they had talked to Bobby-Jo ''and hoped to continue private discussions.''
''We still believe the family can come together to reach a common understanding of their father's last wishes,'' he said. ''Everyone in the family is motivated by their love for their father and their grief at his passing.''Continue reading the main story

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Thank you for contacting Just Answer. I am so...ooo very sorry to hear about this. Indeed it is very disrespectful. I see you have tried talking to him and that has not really worked.
It most definitely is not your insecurity. I'd love to know how he would feel if the shoe was on the other foot. How would he feel if it was you acting the way he is acting with an ex of yours. Have you asked him that?
If it is not helpful talking to him on your own then maybe he needs to see a couples counselor with you so that he can hear from an objective person that you are not being insecure. He is being very insensitive and not thinking for a minute that how he is behaving is hurtful. Clearly he is not listening to you.
Hi there, what are your thoughts?
Yes, I told him he still has an emotional connection with her and he said I will always have that connection. The last time this occurred was over the weekend.
Then he generalized the problem, saying I keep in touch with alot of old friends (mostly women) and I will flag it every time it happens. And he eluded to then I will have to hide it (not be truthful) when it occurs.
Later he said he really cares for me and has no romantic connection with her. She lives in another state. But if she ever needed help he would be there for her.
He said he would stop all communication with her, he said it was over.
I am concerned that now he will just simply avoid telling the truth.
BotXXXXX XXXXXne, I want to know if he needs to seek help to get over his past.
Or am I making a big deal of this and need to work through it.?
The first step is talking it through. You've done that. He is not taking any ownership for his part in yhis conflict between the two of you. In fact, all the blame is put on you.
I just read what you wrote. You are not making a big deal about it. Given what you have said though, I don't think he will go for help. I do think he needs it. That is why I suggested couples counseling because then it would be both of you going and he won't keep saying it's you not me. With couples counseling, you can then rely on the therapist ( not only you) to confront him with his behaviour.
So that is my advice to you because he certainly is not listening to anything that you are saying.
He has been divorced since late 2009. The day we had our first date, he referenced his ex, accidently saying his wife. He said I know that sounds odd, but they are still good friends and communicate all the time.
Over time it became apparent it was much more, his constant comparisons, references to what they did together, while some were good and some not so good, made me really step back and think. Is this good for me? Am I being dragged into a person's old relationship that he cannot get over?
His ex left him and I do not generally discuss any of my past with him.
I find that inappropriate and disprespectful.
I care for him very much, but perhaps he needs time to process this and I should part.
Let me read what you wrote.
I thought as much --- meaning that his ex left him, not he her.
You are so right and very wise --- yes, he is not over her. You ask and I quote you, "Is this good for me?" I know you know the answer but maybe it's too painful for you to accept it. It's not good for you. Again, I agree, this his behaviour is inappropriate and disrespectful towards you. It is not you who has the problem. He does.
I do think he needs time to process things. But because you care for him very much that's why I suggested couples therapy --- having an objective third party step in and help out.
To me since you care for him as much as you do it is worth going that route --- at least giving it a try. It's better than just cutting the whole thing off.
Thank you

Steve Schimoler, who owns Crop Bar and Bistro in Ohio City, calls the 25 percent "totally attainable, but you have to look at what that 25 percent of the mix is.
"We're not going to have local shrimp or avocados or olive oil," he says. "I tell people sustainable agriculture doesn't mean shit unless there's a sustainable business model."
To some, that model starts with making it easier to free up farmland.
"The biggest obstacle is probably going to be getting control of the land," says Congresswoman Marcia Fudge. She's referring to Cuyahoga County's countless vacant lots, which are scooped up by the county Land Bank and cleared for reuse. While some lots have been leased to small-time urban gardeners, larger-scale farmers who want to put permanent structures into use want to make sure the land won't be scooped out from under them by a developer.
"We need to be able to assure them that someone's not going to come along and say, 'Hey, that's my property,'" says Fudge. "The great thing about the Land Bank is if you have a lot next to your home, you can get it for $100. But we need to look more at how people can get access to larger lots."
That's something Community Greenhouse Partners' Tim Smith knows firsthand.
He spent two years looking at city-owned land all over town, finding everything either inappropriate or unavailable. In one case, the city was holding out for manufacturing to return to a long-vacant, cleaned-up brownfield, hoping for more jobs per acre than farming could create. Smith's group finally bought the decommissioned St. George Church from the Cleveland Catholic Diocese in December 2010.
"We need to get the city to free up Land Bank property, to make it easier for people to take over vacant lots to be able to grow food," he says. "We need space to grow food, and that's the incentive to do it. As long as it's an arduous process to get land from the Land Bank, people aren't going to do it."
Perhaps Kelsey puts it best when asked about Sustainable Cleveland's prospects for success.
"It took us decades to get into the mess we're in," he says. "It will take us decades to get out."
Organic Progress
While the city plays referee for the movement's many players, others are working on their own to chip away at the mountain of issues that need to be solved.
Like Parker Bosley and Michael Symon before him, Steve Schimoler focuses on serving local products at Crop Bistro. But he's also expanding the market for them with the side business he founded: Local Crop, which aggregates produce from local small-time farmers and distributes it to various restaurants.
"The image of the chef going to the farmers market with a basket is bullshit," says Schimoler. "It's not a Robert Frost poem. That model is very romantic, but it's not sustainable. If you make the commitment that it's going to be on your menu, you don't want to find that three days later the truck shows up and your stuff's not on it or they underestimated how much they had or it's not available. You have to have a product that is buyable and available, and is quality-assured and you can trust."
The "25 percent local" report contains a grandiose proposal to create a Northeast Ohio Food Authority — a public or private group that would provide support and resources to developing food-related entrepreneurs. That hasn't happened yet, although the Food Policy Coalition is a step in that direction.
Jenita McGowan of the city's sustainability department recognizes that the effort must expand beyond city boundaries. The coalition has grown to include Cuyahoga County, with Executive Ed FitzGerald's office and members of the planning commission on the advisory board. But with the new county government in place only a little over a year, it has yet to develop a fully formed food policy of its own.
"We understand that our food system is a regional endeavor," McGowan says. "The urban agriculture that's happening here is providing so much value to the area in terms of quality of life and local ways to get food. But if we want to get to 25 percent or beyond, we need to look to the region to have a robust local food economy."
Like Darwin Kelsey, Erich Hooper emphasizes the need to get the next generation involved with farming, and he uses his Ohio City farm as a learning center for school groups.
"With gardening, when you do it, it becomes second nature," he says. "The idea is to train kids so we can build the infrastructure. You give them hands-on experience and now you have a bunch of people who are proficient."
Spice of Life's Ben Bebenroth suggests that it all boils down to the roots of who we are and who we could be.
"Watching money go right into people's pockets is imperative," he says. "It's not just about it staying here. It's about what people are doing with it while it's here. I go out to Monica [Bongue]'s farm at Muddy Fork [in Wooster] — I've been buying from her for eight years. You go out there, and you see a new windmill or a greenhouse. You see her kids going to college, and they see agriculture is a good way to make a living. I think it's a transition of body and mind and spirit."

Free 12 Month Premium Upgrade Of LastPass Password Management Software ($12 Value) (EXPIRED)
Protecting your information online is very important in this day and age. After all, whether you're logging into your Facebook account, purchasing items online, or doing internet banking, one thing that always needs to be protected is your password. Unfortunately, there are hackers out there who can easily crack basic passwords, which is why it's crucial to keep your information safe with a complicated password. With the help of the award-winning LastPass password management software, you can do just that! Starting today, you can get a free 12 month premium upgrade of LastPass password management software, which normally costs $12.
In my opinion, managing the wide variety of passwords that I need to access my burgeoning amount of accounts online can be a bit of a hassle. Sure, logging into my social media accounts isn't much of a challenge, but when it comes to my online banking, phone bills, and other necessary passwords, I would most likely end up on the phone with a customer service representative for 15 minutes if I didn't have my passwords written down in my hidden away notepad.
With LastPass, this software can help you manage all of your passwords - it allows you to store all of your passwords, it can generate complicated and hard-to-crack passwords for you, and you can use it to log into any of your online accounts that require a password.
This promotion will enable you to upgrade to a premium account, which allows you to use LastPass on all of your mobile devices! On my way home from a long day of work, I would find this password management app particularly handy to use, since I'd be able to do my banking online on my cell phone without having to remember my complicated password.
The best thing about LastPass is that this app is free to use on desktop computers, but with this premium upgrade, you can enjoy the benefits of using it on your mobile devices for 12 months without paying a cent. There are also several other features that you can enjoy by being a premium user, which you can learn about by clicking here.
This password manager is also heavily praised by experts and critics- PCMag gave it a five out of five outstanding review, while it was praised and received a four out of five on Macworld. With so many favourable reviews, and at no cost, I'm going to start using this effective app. If you want to try out LastPass and enjoy the benefits of a premium account, I recommend that you do so while this promotion is still in effect.
(Expiry: unknown)

- Sorry, L.Doesn't work! If you have an account already they say"Sorry, this promotion is for new LastPass users, your account was created 4 months ago, !" They said you could , but you can't!!!!

We are delighted to announce that planning has been approved for our new Assisted Living development, providing 49 high quality one and two bedroom retirement homes exclusively for the over 70s at Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire.
Our proposed Poulton-Le-Fylde development is ideal for those looking for retirement accommodation in the area of Lancashire, offering a viable option for those interested in living in areas such as Blackpool, Preston, Kirkham and Warton.
Construction is provisionally due to start in Summer 2016 and we anticipate to start selling apartments from Spring 2017. We look forward to welcoming our first homeowners in Autumn 2017.
A beautiful market town, Poulton-Le-Fylde is located on the Fylde coastal plain and is part of the Blackpool urban area with regular rail links operating to the city centre and Preston.
For those with their own transport, the A585 road link and M55 ensures freedom of travel with bus routes also operating regularly within the local area. Blackpool Airport is then just a short drive away and offers flights to more than 20 European destinations as well as domestic connections.
Poulton-Le-Fylde is surrounded by agricultural attractions. For those interested in traditional country living, a local Farmers Market is held on the fourth Saturday of each month, selling locally grown produce in the picturesque market square. Other natural attractions in the area include country parks, golden beaches and the banks of the river Wyre, which attract more than 270,000 birds here annually.
If you would like to investigate the quality and atmosphere of a McCarthy & Stone development, visit our closest Assisted Living site to this development at Brunlees Court in Southport.

There's widespread agreement that Ronald Reagan - whose statue was unveiled in London yesterday - was a "great president". The largely positive reaction to the event comes as something of a surprise, albeit a welcome one, to someone who remembers the combination of derision and distaste in which he was held by the BBC and other parts Britain's Leftish establishment during the 1980s (if you don't remember, think George W Bush). I wonder if Lady Thatcher, when the inevitable time comes, will get such sympathetic coverage.
But was Reagan a "great president"? And what does being a great president mean? At one level, I suppose, it means being generally regarded as great. It is, after all, an accolade given to few presidents (or, for that matter, prime ministers). Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, perhaps Teddy Roosevelt, possibly Kennedy... after that, it's largely a matter of debate. All of these, except possibly Washington, whose eminence you'd have to be Lord North to deny, have their detractors, as does Reagan himself. Though not as many as you'd expect. Not any more.
So what makes a great political leader? Personality and achievement are both essential. A great leader has to do things of real substance, but he or she also needs to be memorable, to stand out, to have sufficient charisma (or just noticeability) to give the impression of shaping events. Roy Jenkins, in his biography of Churchill, suggests that great leaders have "strong elements of comicality in them." That goes for Churchill, of course; it also goes both for Reagan and for Margaret Thatcher. But then it also goes for Sarah Palin, so it can't be the whole story.
The most crucial ingredient of all is timing. Reagan, along with Mrs Thatcher and even Pope John Paul II, is widely credited with bringing an end to communism in the Eastern bloc. His popularity in that part of the world is largely based on that supposed achievement. Strangely, Mikhail Gorbachev, who played a more crucial (though to some extent unwilling) role in the collapse of the Soviet Union only gets credit for it in the West.
Reagan does deserve a slice of the credit. He contributed in two major ways to the undermining of Soviet Communism. His soaring rhetoric of freedom, including his talk (widely ridiculed at the time by the Left) of Russia as the "evil empire", fortified many dissidents behind the Iron Curtain and may have helped spread dissatisfaction among a wider public. It was only after Reagan had left office, though, that his rhetoric really bore fruit. He was great because he was a symbol: because he believed with a perhaps too simple faith in the greatness and goodness of America and caused others to believe it too. [Although as Alex Massie points out, Reagan's policies were often more pragmatic than his black-and-white language might have implied.]
More practically, Reagan hugely increased the US defence budget, partly by exaggerating the power and threat posed by the Soviets, in ways that the USSR was unable to match but helped to push it close to bankruptcy. The price paid was the near bankrupting of the USA itself - but Reagan was lucky, and luck is another indespensible precondition of greatness.
In the end, though, what toppled Soviet Communism was that its time was up and the Party proved itself unable to institute the necessary changes early enough, far-reachingly enough and ruthlessly enough while keeping itself in power. The Chinese communists did. Timing may have been crucial here. Mao died in 1976 and was soon succeeded by reformers; by the crucial year of 1979 the great structural revolution was underway. The dead weight of Brezhnev and his moribund successors was only lifted in 1985, by which time it was probably too late.
Winning the Cold War, though, was a long and slow process. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, all in their way great presidents (yes, even Nixon; perhaps especially Nixon) came too early to claim the glory. As for George Bush I, on whose watch the Soviet Union actually did collapse: he had the timing, but he lacked the charisma and, later on, the luck. As Major dwelt in the shadow of Thatcher, so was it with the older Bush - who was, nevertheless, an intelligent man, a shrewd diplomatic operator and a far better president than his son.
In the Guardian Mehdi Hasan decries the mythmakers while indulging in quite a bit of mythmaking himself. In what is rather a confused piece, his main point seems to be that Reagan was "not a Neocon", the principal evidence for which assertion is that in his day the United States was not involved in so many wars as in more recent years. The only two military actions Reagan launched were the brief invasion of Grenada in 1983 and the even briefer bombing of Libya in 1986. This is true, so far as it goes, but it doesn't really tell us anything; certainly it doesn't tell us that Reagan was "not a Neocon" - except to the extent that no-one was in those days, not officially at least.
I particularly balk at this
In contrast, consider the blood-spattered record of his successors. George Bush launched Gulf War I and sent troops into Panama and Somalia; Bill Clinton bombed Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia; George W Bush invaded Afghanistan and gave us Gulf war II and the war on terror. And the Nobel peace prize winner Obama had troops surging in Afghanistan, launched a war on Libya and sent drones into Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
George Bush did not "launch Gulf War I"; Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. Perhaps Mehdi Hasan thinks that he should have been allowed to remain there. The younger Bush may have given us Gulf War II, but the war on terror had something to do with Osama Bin Laden. I realise that Mehdi Hasan prefers to deny such plain facts to their face, but they deserve a mention.
The truth, though, is that all these later conflicts were part of the aftermath of the end of the Cold War. The tearing down of the Iron Curtain was great news for the people of Eastern Europe (on balance, and for most of them) but was massively destabilising elsewhere, as the collapse of great empires, however welcome, tends to be. In a newly uncertain world, the United States found itself in the unexpected role of sole superpower, inaugurating the age of foreign intervention, of usually unwinnable wars, that is now slowly drawing to a close.

Do you plan to use an FHA loan to buy a home in 2017? If so, I have some good news. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced this week that it would reduce the FHA annual mortgage insurance premium (MIP) for 2017. This change will take effect later this month, and it could save homeowners an average of $500 this year according to officials.

You may have noticed that all the conservative cats 'n kittens have been busy making an uneasy peace with the notion that the former governor of the People's Republic Of Obamacare And Gay Marriage is your Republican nominee for president of the United States. Just the other day, he met with some of the wilder fauna of the conservative biosphere, and he landed the endorsement of The Girl With The Faraway Eyes and, it is rumored, a full 60 percent of the voices in her head. A day earlier, both N. Leroy Gingrich and his ego also got with the program. At the moment, the only holdout is Rick Santorum, possibly because of what a colossal dick he is, and have I mentioned recently what a colossal dick he is? But he'll come around. He met with Romney just now, and it is rumored that Romney acceded to Santorum's demand for a speaking role at the convention to which Santorum will be carried on the sedia gestoria.
There has been some loose talk around about how this extended exercise has the capacity to make everyone involved in look even more ridiculous than the primary process did, largely because of all the mean things everybody said about Romney during the campaign. The whole ostensible point of the Gingrich, Bachmann, and Santorum campaigns was that Romney would lose to the president because, as La Bachmann always put it, he had unleashed "socialized medicine" in Massachusetts when he enforced an individual mandate that forced us all to do business with those Commie bastards in the health-insurance companies. Gingrich called him a liar on live television. Santorum made him talk about ladyparts and what the ladies do with them. This didn't leave a whole lot of common ground unscorched. Nonetheless, all of them seem now ready to go out there and fight for the ticket on the inspirational message, "Hey, he's better than what we've got now."
This seems insufficiently enthusiastic. I don't think Romney spent this kind of money to be treated like the green vegetables the Republican party has to eat before it gets its ice cream. So, one more time, I put on my speechwriting hat — it's a neat little derby, with a green feather — and suggest a possible national address that Willard can give to get himself — and all the goofy runners-up — out of this curious dilemma in which they find themselves. To wit....
I'm Mitt Romney, bitches, and I'm all you've got left.

Berlin (Oct. 5)
Jews have a right to defend themselves against attack by Hitlerists, the Berlin Police President, Herr Grzesinski, former Prussian Minister of the Interior, declares in an interview in the new Jewish organ, the "Juedische Zeitung", which has just started to appear here. The Police President advises young Jews to join the sports and athletic organisations in order to equip themselves to put up an effective resistance to the Hitlerist aggressions.
The "Vorwaerts", the chief organ of the German Social Democratic Party, comes out to-day with a demand that the authorities should close down all the Hitlerist barracks, in which, it says, arms are stored, and young men are being trained to launch attacks on Jews and on the Republic. The Hitlerist storm troops, it points out, have a barracks in the Koerner Strasse, which is a constant menace to the Jews who attend the services in the synagogue situated in that street.

SAN BERNARDINO - A requested pay raise for homecare workers in San Bernardino County could generate millions in new spending and even create full time jobs, according to an economic impact study conducted by Los Angeles-based Beacon Economics.
Service Employees International Union - United Long Term Care Workers, which represents the workers in the county's In-Home Supportive Services, hired the firm to conduct an economic impact study on a requested 50-cent-per-hour raise that would increase hourly wages from $9.25 to $9.75.
Chris Thornberg, founder of the firm, addressed a group of workers during a press conference Tuesday at the San Bernardino County Administration building.
He also addressed the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors during their meeting prior to the press conference.
"Fifty cents obviously is a fairly small amount of money, yet for these particular individuals we're talking about a raise that comes close to five or six percent annually," he said.
The study concluded that the raise would lead to about $7.7 million in new spending within the county, plus an additional $2.7 million in secondary spending, $2.9 million in new earnings and 72 new full time jobs.
The workers are targeting federal funding available through the "Community First Choice Option" program, which they claim will cover the cost of the raises.
Thornberg said of the $11.5 million in added payroll due to the raises, the county would only be responsible for $1.9 million.
"This is what we call in economic terms a `no brainer' because the county is not responsible for the vast majority of the increase in wages,' Thornberg said. "Those come instead from Washington D.C. through a program that many areas have used in order to raise the wages for these long term care workers."
The union is currently in negotiations with the county.
Wendy Duchen, member strength director for United Long Term Care Workers in San Bernardino County, said the union went to the negotiations table with the request to use the federal funding as investment in home care.
"When home care workers earn more money they have more money to spend," she said. "We are going to spend it in the local businesses, in the pizzeria around the corner, in the grocery store in your neighborhoods, El Pollo Loco because we know that we are not the problem, we are the solution."
David Wert, county spokesman, said the union is seeking money for pay raises that does not exist and would not enhance the local economy.
Wert said the state has yet to determine how much money will be allotted to each county through the program.
He added that the money is not intended for raises for the workers, but to allow counties to keep some of the local money they have been using to fund the services.
"The money has not been freed up by the state yet, and we have no guarantee that it will be. And even if it does come through, it's money that is already in the county budget, which is intended for local needs such as public safety," he said. "If the county spends it on IHSS raises, that's $6 million a year less that the county would have for county programs."

Passover and the
spring season are the perfect
time for committing ourselves
to growth and renewal. The
13 regions of Women's League
are getting ready for their
annual conferences, where women across
North America will come together to learn,
share, and renew friendships. They will spend
time absorbing new techniques and knowledge
to strengthen their sisterhoods. A great
deal of time and energy goes into designing
these conferences, anticipating that participants
will return home with renewed
energy and enthusiasm. This has been the
norm for Women's League conferences and
conventions for as long as I can remember.
But what about the woman who doesn't
belong to her sisterhood? What about
the synagogue that has never formed a sisterhood,
so its female members don't even
know what they are missing? And what
about the women who are not affiliated with
any congregation at all? There are women
of all ages, married or not, with or without
children, recently retired or just beginning
a career, in each of our communities.
How do we attract these women, right there in our midst, who have been unreachable?
Women who belong to a sisterhood, participate
in its activities, or attend a region
event appreciate being with other women
who share their interests, values, and ideals.
They are enriched by their Judaism and pass
their love for our traditions and heritage
to family and friends. Most of us can remember
when we first joined our sisterhoods,
and in looking back realize that we have
become better informed and more learned,
or have developed organizational skills and
leadership qualities, proving that sisterhood
and Women's League nurture us as Conservative
Jewish women.
One of my goals for Women's League
in 2012 is to increase the community of
Conservative Jewish women by focusing on
individual members and engaging the unaffiliated
women in our synagogues and communities.
I am convinced that there are
women who want to be a part of a network
of Conservative Jewish women but
don't know how, or somehow feel disconnected
or disenfranchised. How can we reach
these women?
There are many ways. Firstly, every member
of a sisterhood affiliated with Women's
League has to understand that she is part
of a much larger organization. We are reaching
out to our members through social networking,
listserves, and our website
(www.wlcj.org) to let them know what it
means to be affiliated with an international
Secondly, Women's League provides
opportunities to interact and learn with
women who share the same interests in public
policy, social action, study, tikkun olam,
and creative Judaic arts, to name just a
few. Women's League creates materials viable for both sisterhoods and the individual. Find
out more about our projects and programs
on our website. There's something there for
Thirdly, Women's League, together with
the other organizations that make up the
Conservative movement, addresses public
policies and concerns affecting Jewish communities
worldwide. Being part of an international
organization that cooperates with
other policy-making and educational institutions
is a powerful incentive to membership.
It is not just one woman making
a statement; it is a movement of committed
Conservative Jews taking a stand.
This became apparent on the most recent
Women's League mission to Israel, when we
met with Masorti women in Zichron Yaakov
in the north and others from the
Jerusalem/Tel Aviv areas. Our connections
were immediate, and our common interests,
concerns, and goals were clear. We
are one international community, working
together toward a common goal.
Finally, the educational materials that
Women's League produces make it easy to
create programs, workshops, and learning
venues that can appeal to a broad range
of women. I invite all of those in positions
of leadership in their sisterhoods to use
our materials when reaching out to women
in their communities.
I ask each of the women reading CJ:Voices
of Conservative/Masorti Judaism to join us.
Send us your email address so we can keep
you informed about our programs. We're at
firstname.lastname@example.com. Women's League
for Conservative Judaism could be, and
should be, the network for all the women
in our movement. Together we will
strengthen Conservative Judaism in the
home, synagogue, and community.
My very best wishes to each of you for
a Passover filled with happiness, peace,
and the love of family and friends.
Rita Wertlieb is the international president of Women's League for Conservative Judaism.

Julio Franco doesn't know Alfonso Soriano well, but enough to know what he should do: Just shut up and play.
Soriano's mind wondered when he was with the Yankees, but there was Willie Randolph to kick him in the rear.
"It's not any of my business," were Randolph's thoughts on Soriano refusing to play left field.
It is hard to imagine Frank Robinson putting up with this nonsense much longer.
With $10 million on the table and the Nationals threatening to suspend Soriano, Franco said he thought Soriano would play.
"But for how long?" Franco said, raising the possibility of Soriano saying he was hurt, which would enable him to keep on salary.
But, if he's suspended, not only won't he get paid, but will lose service time and won't be a free agent after this season.
And, all this because he doesn't want to play left field.
Hard to believe, but true.
Soriano has been an All-Star second baseman, but the fact is he's an all-star hitter who happens to play second base. He only landed at the position because Chuck Knoblauch couldn't throw straight.
As long as this is going on, you'll hear Soriano's name linked to the Mets. Don't believe it. They aren't going to spend $18 million – you have to remember Kaz Matsui's $8 million because nobody wants him – for two second basemen, neither of which can catch the ball.
Should the Nationals suspend him or let him have his way and play second base? Or, should the Mets go after him anyway?
Let me know what you think. – John

Hey everyone, im posting this up for a friend of mine whos in big trouble. Shes 19 yrs old and has a rare blood disorder known as factor 7 deficiency. Basically when she bleeds it takes forever to stop, she bruises phenomenally in any situation , its pretty bad. The problem now is that she has 5 wisdom teeth that need to come out, her dentist said it will kill her if she doesnt take them out, and her doctor cant give her any medication because that will most probably kill her as well. They sent her blood to somewhere in france, but shes been waiting 10 months for an answer, shes utterly lost. If anyone has any experience with this or maybe an idea of where i can look to get help itd be appreciated! P.S. She is not paleo or primal.
No announcement yet.

She has 5 wisdom teeth? Maybe she misunderstood.
Try hypnosis. Both pain and bleeding can be suppressed by a good hypnotherapist. Of course this should happen with the co-operation of her doctor and/or dentist.
Originally posted by eKatherine View PostTry hypnosis. Both pain and bleeding can be suppressed by a good hypnotherapist.
Factor VII deficiency can be genetic or acquired. If acquired, it can be fixed but it also means she has other serious problems. If it's genetic for her, well, she'll have to live her life very carefully.Last edited by Lumifer; 03-30-2013, 04:31 PM.
This girl needs a good hematologist who understands coagulation! Not all hematologists are good at that. Factor VII deficiency is a form of hemophilia (blood clotting doesn't work well) and can be serious. Here is a link to hemophilia foundations website:
Factor VII Deficiency
Humans have a maximum of 4 wisdom teeth but she could of course need another tooth pulled.
My experience is that with unusual/rare problems University Medical centers are often a good idea. It is very possible that local private docs and dentists, no matter how good, are in over their heads with her, and your narrative implies that they understand the problem. I'd have her in to a hematologist in no time if it were my daughter.10/2/12: 169 lbs, 37"waist

Most Medicare Prescription Drug Plans charge a monthly fee that varies by plan. You pay this in addition to the Medicare Part B premium. If you join a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) or Medicare Cost Plan that includes Medicare prescription drug coverage, the plan's monthly premium may include an amount for drug coverage.
Get your premium automatically deducted
Contact your drug plan (not Social Security) if you want your premium deducted from your monthly Social Security payment. Your first deduction will usually take 3 months to start, and 3 months of premiums will likely be deducted at once.
After that, only one premium will be deducted each month. You may also see a delay in premiums being withheld if you switch plans. If you want to stop premium deductions and get billed directly, contact your drug plan.
How much does Part D cost?
Most people only pay their Part D premium. If you don't sign up for Part D when you're first eligible, you may have to pay a Part D late enrollment penalty.
If your modified adjusted gross income is above a certain amount, you may pay a Part D income-related monthly adjustment amount (Part D-IRMAA). Medicare uses the modified adjusted gross income reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago (the most recent tax return information provided to Social Security by the IRS). You'll pay the Part D-IRMAA amount in addition to your monthly plan premium, and this extra amount is paid directly to Medicare, not to your plan. The chart below lists the extra amount costs by income.
Social Security will contact you if you have to pay Part D-IRMAA, based on your income. The amount you pay can change each year. If you have to pay a higher amount for your Part D premium and you disagree (for example, if your income goes down), use this form to contact Social Security [PDF, 125 KB]. If you have questions about your Medicare prescription drug coverage, contact your plan.
The extra amount you have to pay isn't part of your plan premium. You don't pay the extra amount to your plan. Most people have the extra amount taken from their Social Security check. If the amount isn't taken from your check, you'll get a bill from Medicare or the Railroad Retirement Board. You must pay this amount to keep your Part D coverage.
If Social Security notifies you about paying a higher amount for your Part D coverage, you're required by law to pay the Part D-Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (Part D-IRMAA). If you don't pay the Part D-IRMAA, you'll lose your Part D coverage.
Employer/Union coverage and Part D-IRMAA
You pay your Part D-IRMAA directly to Medicare, not to your plan or employer.
You're required to pay the Part D-IRMAA, even if your employer or a third party (like a teacher's union or a retirement system) pays for your Part D plan premiums. If you don't pay the Part D-IRMAA and get disenrolled, you may also lose your retirement coverage and you may not be able to get it back.
Things to remember
- Pay your Part D-IRMAA bill to Medicare as soon as you get it. Find out how to pay your bill.
- Keep your address current with Social Security, even if you don't get a Social Security check.
Part D premiums by income
The charts below show your estimated prescription drug plan monthly premium based on your income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago and last year. If your income is above a certain limit, you'll pay an income-related monthly adjustment amount in addition to your plan premium.
|If your filing status and yearly income in 2015 was
|File individual tax return
|File joint tax return
|File married & separate tax return
|You pay (in 2017)
|$85,000 or less
|$170,000 or less
|$85,000 or less

This week has been crazy, but rewarding! Today is Easter, and this week was my Spring Break, not to mention three articles were published about our own southbayfood.com! Talented reporter Stephanie Cary (@stephiecary) interviewed me about my blog and wrote an astounding article about my culinary love and my likes and dislikes in the kitchen. Congratulations to Stephanie on her article being printed in both The Daily Breeze and The Beach Reporter (as well as online with several newspapers partnered with The Daily Breeze)!
Also, Grub Street LA's blog posted a piece about young chefs elevating, and southbayfood.com was a big part of it. They were very supportive of kids' talents, but just so you know, I'm no professional chef. I'm just a girl who is still learning and following her interests. Thank you, Grub Street Los Angeles!
I haven't done much for Spring Break, but here is the news flash on Easter 2013 …
Happy Easter!
"Perfect!" my dad smiled proudly, as I placed the last decoration upon our watermelon Easter egg basket. We had just hauled every last bit of watermelon from the rind. We filled the watermelon three-fourths the way full with fake grass, and then I carefully placed our polychromatic Easter eggs in the basket.
What you need:
- One watermelon (pick a size that will fit your contents), or other melon
- A melon baller or a scoop
- Paper towels or fake grass to cushion the eggs (or whatever your basket will contain)
- Easter eggs, refreshments or whatever else you will stash in your basket
Happy Easter and Spring, and have a great day!

History, Speculation and Release.
In early 2013, a trademark was filed by hasbro registering 2 names: "Furblings" and "Furby Boom". Furby Boom was registered as a "Toy" while Furblings was registered under "Media", leaving some to speculate furby may be getting a TV show, video game or something of the nature. However, Furblings were registered under "Media" due to the fact that they are virtual pets, while Furby BOOM! is a full toy. When a Furby BOOM! creature is happy it will lay an egg on an IOS (4.3 or later) or Android (2.3.3 or later) Device (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, etc.). The egg then hatches and your Furby BOOM! now has a baby known as a Furbling. Caring for the Furbling is almost identical to playing with a Tamagotchi. It can also play games with Furby BOOM and other Furblings . Up to 50 Furblings can belong to one Furby BOOM! creature. Each one has a unique style, personality and colour scheme. The Furblings may or may not resemble the colour scheme of their parent. Furby BOOM! is available for purchase online, and will be in stores in the USA and Canada by August 27. Also, the truck drives your Furbling to it's room. Furby BOOM! can also use the Furby App on IOS devices and Android devices. Some BOOM's only speak Furbish and refuse to learn english because they are too proud!

When the players have had some free time, they have been doing their best to get in some practice on the court by playing in pick-up games. In one recent such game a few weeks ago, Nelson and a teammate pulled off an off-the-backboard alley-oop.
Just one problem: backboards in small gyms in Macedonia are not quite the same as those in NCAA arenas here in the U.S.
As the video below shows, Nelson's dunk shattered the backboard and showered him with broken glass. The glass, in turn, cut Nelson's face and arm and forced him to make a trip to the hospital where he received 20 stitches for the cuts.
Here's the video:
In 24 games played as a freshman last season, Nelson averaged 7.5 points and 1.5 assists per game. He tallied a season-high 34 points in a loss to Arizona State in March.
But if he can put together more play like the alley-oop in Macedonia, Oregon State will be worth the price of attendance this season.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello my name isXXXXX will assist you.
It sounds like your auger motor is not turning any longer.
This is the piece in the back of the freezer when you pull the ice bin
This is a direct link to the part i say you need.
One quick way to check is remove the ice bin, and then push the door switch, and have a partner try to get ice from the dispenser. YOu will be able to see if the auger motor turns or not
Please let me know what you find
does the part have two prongs sticking straight out towards front? Nothing is moving/turning in back. It is all frosted over
Yes that is the part, actually what you see unscrews from the auger motor but yes it should turn.
Order the auger motor and you will fix your problem
