NORTH LAUDERDALE -- The property tax rate will increase for the first time in seven years, the City Council decided on Thursday.
Council members tentatively approved an $11.2 million municipal budget for 1987-88 that calls for a tax rate of $2.70 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The current rate is $2.06.
With that increase, the owner of a $75,000 house, with a $25,000 homestead exemption, would pay $135 in property taxes next year. That same homeowner paid about $32 less in taxes this year.
The council will hold a final public hearing on the budget on Sept. 28.

Helping Students Cope with Traumatic Events
Resources show how educators can work with students who are showing signs of stress from recent events.
Reacting to the mass shooting in Las Vegas, several Learning First Alliance members are sharing their lessons and resources so that educators can better identify and meet the emotional needs of their students who are showing stress.
Share My Lesson, the American Federation of Teachers' website of lesson plans and other resources contributed by teachers, includes a section on The Social Emotional Learning and Health that has more than 1,900 lessons on building a positive school climate, and AFT has updated its section on Helping Students Cope with Traumatic Events.
The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has compiled information on its website, and shares these tips:
• Try and keep routines as normal as possible. Kids gain security from the predictability of routine, including attending school.
• Limit exposure to television and the news.
• Be honest with kids and share with them as much information as they are developmentally able to handle.
• Listen to kids' fears and concerns.
• Reassure kids that the world is a good place to be, but that there are people who do bad things.
• Parents and adults need to first deal with and assess their own responses to crisis and stress.
• Rebuild and reaffirm attachments and relationships.
ASCA also has three webinars for helping students:
- Counseling Kids in Crisis - View the webinar
- Infusing a Caring Climate in Your School - View the webinar
- Supporting Students After Crisis and Loss - View the webinar
The National Education Association has an article, Mass Shooting in Las Vegas: How to Talk to Students, that first advises educators to assure students they are safe. NEA President Lily Eskelsen García wrote a blog post, "Make it Stop," to share her thoughts on the senseless killings that included several educators.
The National PTA offers tips on discussing difficult situations with children and resources on violence prevention to help avert another tragedy.
Other resources include a guide on Talking to Children About Violence by the National Association of School Psychologists.
Finally, learn how the Topeka school district is implementing trauma-informed strategies and training teachers to deal with toxic stress in a new article by American School Board Journal.

The CDC is monitoring two recent outbreaks of meningococcal disease at Princeton University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. In anticipation of the holiday travel season, the CDC issued an outbreak status update and advice to reduce the risk of spreading the disease.
Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacteria neisseria meningitidis and it is also sometimes called meningococcus. There are two serious forms of meningococcal disease—meningitis and septicemia. Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, which is known as the meninges. Septicemia is an infection of the blood stream, which causes bleeding in the skin and organs. Septicemia gives rise to complications from meningococcal disease that are not neurologic.
Fewer than 1,000 cases occur each year in the United States. In 2012, about 500 cases were reported. This shows a marked improvement over the late 1990s and early 2000s when there were close to 3,000 cases of meningococcal disease a year. Very few cases occur as part of an outbreak relative to the total number of cases in the U.S. But typically there are a couple of meningococcal disease outbreaks every year.
Reports of this disease are more common in the winter months. Cases occur in all age groups. Meningococcal disease can strike otherwise healthy individuals.
Meningococcal disease can be devastating. Even with antibiotic treatment, people die in about 10 to 15 percent of cases of meningococcal disease. About 15 percent of survivors have long term disabilities such as loss of limbs, deafness, nervous system problems, or brain damage.
Early recognition and early treatment of meningococcal disease is key to reduce the long-term consequences. However, it is often difficult to diagnose meningococcal disease because often the first signs and symptoms are similar to the flu. Signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease include rapid onset of high fever, headache, and stiff neck. The headache presents as among the worst headaches that the person has had. The stiff neck prevents an infected person from moving their neck. For example, an infected people cannot touch their chins to their chests. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light, confusion, exhaustion, and sometimes a rash.
Every case of meningococcal disease requires a public health response by local and state health officials. Meningococcal disease is highly recognized so cases are reported quickly to health departments. Health officials follow up with patients to determine with whom they have come into close contact. Then they recommend preventive antibiotics to close contacts.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent meningococcal disease when it is a vaccine preventable strain. There are several serogroups or strains of these bacteria. The most common ones circulating in the U.S. are serogroups B, C and Y. The U.S. has approved vaccines to help protect against serogroups C, Y, A and W. These vaccines are recommended for all adolescents with the first dose preferably given at 11 to 12 years old, and a second dose at 16. The U.S. has not approved a vaccine to protect against serogroup B, which is the cause of the cases at Princeton University and UC Santa Barbara. That is because there have been challenges making serogroup B vaccine. The serogroup B target capsule looks like an antigen we actually have in our bodies, so it does not provoke an immune response.
Fortunately, meningococcal bacteria are harder to spread than viruses that cause diseases, like the flu or respiratory viruses, and they do not live long outside the body. These bacteria are not spread by casual contact like being in the same room with somebody who is sick or carrying the bacteria or handling items that they touched. They are spread through the exchange of respiratory secretions. The organisms spread through close contact, such as household contact or French kissing. For example, roommates, who spend a lot of time together, are potential close contacts of a case of meningococcal disease. Hand washing and covering coughs or sneezes reduce the risk of transmission.
At any given time, about 10 percent of people, not just in outbreaks, but all over in the United States, carry these bacteria in the back of their nose or throat and do not ever develop symptoms. This is known as being a carrier. Once a person becomes a carrier, he or she develop immunity and the bacteria disappear from their nose and throat, and they are no longer a carrier. Rarely, does the bacteria invade the blood stream. Since the bacteria can spread through carriers, most cases of meningococcal disease appear to be random and are not directly linked to each other. Even in the case of an outbreak, the cases often do not occur among close contacts. Rather, the cases occur in an organization or community.
In general, the CDC defines an outbreak of meningococcal disease as three or more cases in three months that cannot be connected to each other. Most outbreaks of this disease are self-limited and no more than three or four cases occur. When cases continue to occur over several months, intervention is required to reduce the length of the outbreak. In an outbreak caused by serogroup C or Y meningococcal disease, the CDC would recommend the quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine to prevent additional cases. Many universities have very high coverage with the licensed and recommended vaccine that protects against serogroup C and Y. Thus, the CDC has started to see fewer cases of serogroup C and Y meningococcal disease and more cases of serogroup B disease. Until very recently, there was no available and broadly effective serogroup B vaccine that could be used to reduce the length of a serogroup B outbreak in the United States. However, there is now a vaccine that was recently licensed for use in Europe and Australia, but not in the United States.
Novartis, the company that makes the serogroup B meningococcal vaccine, has completed phase II clinical studies in the United States. After careful review of requirements for licensure, existing vaccination schedules, and feedback from public health experts, the company has decided to advance a meningococcal vaccine that helps protect against five serogroups (A, B, C, Y, and W) into late stage development. This vaccine would cover the most common serogroups that cause meningococcal disease circulating in the United States. The exact timeline for approval in the United States depends on many factors.
The CDC is open to recommending this vaccine during outbreaks of serogroup B meningococcal disease. Each outbreak is unique and requires a rigorous assessment before use of this vaccine can be considered. Expanding access for use of an investigational vaccine such as this requires careful review of the particular circumstances of the outbreak and making sure the vaccine can be safely administered and ensuring the appropriate systems are in place for safety follow-up after the vaccination campaign. Importing vaccine that is not approved in the U.S. even when licensed is a complex process that takes time.
Dr. Amanda Cohn, a pediatrician and an expert in meningococcal disease at the CDC, said that Princeton University and UC Santa Barbara are experiencing outbreaks of serogroup B meningococcal disease. There have not been any fatalities from the outbreaks, but there have been some very serious cases.
The CDC and the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Princeton University officials, and local health authorities have been working closely together since the first case of meningococcal disease was reported in association with Princeton University in March 2013. At the request of the NJDOH, the CDC reviewed the eight cases of meningococcal disease that occurred among Princeton University students and visitors since March 2013. All of these cases were caused by serogroup B meningococcal bacteria. The number of cases and lack of direct connection among the cases at Princeton indicate that this is an outbreak.
Cases have continued to occur over several months at Princeton. Given that cases have occurred during two school years, it is anticipated that there will be more cases. This requires intervention to reduce the length of the outbreak. The CDC and the FDA have determined that the unique pattern of disease in the Princeton outbreak including the high rate of cases that have occurred and the long period of time over which they have occurred warrants access to this serogroup B vaccine for that high-risk population. Partners are working to organize serogroup B vaccine campaigns at Princeton University as quickly as possible. Approval is being sought from various health agencies and the university. Special labels are being developed. The vaccine has to be sent via climate controlled shipping from Europe. Dr. Cohn stated that the vaccine campaign should begin shortly after Thanksgiving break once everything is in place.
The CDC is continuing to work with local and state partners to closely monitor the UC Santa Barbara situation. If cases continue to occur, the CDC will determine the best course of action.
In the meantime, the CDC stressed the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms of meningococcal disease and the need to seek prompt care if concerned. If anyone is connected to either of the universities develops a fever, headache, or rash he or she should seek medical attention. Dr. Cohn clarified that there is no need to change family members and communities' contact with students from these universities as they travel home for the holidays. The CDC does not recommend curtailing social interactions or canceling travel plans as a preventive measure to prevent cases of meningococcal disease. The CDC sent out a health alert to providers and state and local health departments, to increase awareness for providers to consider meningococcal disease in their differential diagnosis, if a student from one of these two universities presents with symptoms.

The problem
Let's say you have an inordinate need for cheeseburgers but, like Wimpy, find yourself constantly short of the cash needed to support your corpulence.
Let's say you are stuck in a dead-end town in a dead-end life. All you have to your name is a borrowed bunch of movie equipment and not much skill in making movies.
Like many I subscribe to email services that promise to alert you to what is called "Breaking News." This is, one supposes going in, a service that will tell you when something important or earth-shattering happens. That way you'll be "in the know" right away.
(May, 2002, New York City) Just before dawn in Brooklyn Heights a dream woke me. Far short of a nightmare, it was one of those troubled dreams where emblems of your past, present and perhaps future lives proliferate and chitter in an obscure but oddly familiar landscape. Unsettled but gratified, I dutifully scribbled notes for discussion later in the week with my therapist. I made the notes for fear of forgetting and for fear that I would again find myself at the therapist's with nothing to talk about that seemed worthy of discussion.
In the cities, in the professions, therapy is what we do. In a way, therapy is a token of having made it; having become so affluent that you can blow a lot of money examining the proposition "If you're so rich, why aren't you happy." My dawn fear was one of the many scrawny fears of "higher" civilization. Millions of Americans know, have known, or will know this petty little fear; the fear of having nothing to say, having nothing to think about. You've paid for the hour, the hour is "all about you," and yet this all this 'stuff,' your 'stuff', seems to you only shameful and small and not really worth discussing at all. Not with yourself and certainly not with a paid stranger.
Millions also know the off-the-shelf response to their complaint from the therapist. "It is your therapy and it is supposed to be all about you. It is in these petty and small details that you discover the larger truths that will, it is hoped, lead you into some future where, when all is understood, all is mollified, soothed, and finally forgiven." It is a palliative procedure that leads but to a palliated end -- forgiveness of the self by the self. Some time soon.
In our therapies, our confessions, or even our "sessions of sweet, silent thought," we seek this damp and thin forgiveness with a constant compulsion. We seek this forgiveness for the damp and thin things made of cardboard we have become in ever increasing numbers. We seek it because the culture we have created has expunged our myths, given us nothing larger than ourselves in place of them and, even though we might yearn for things larger than ourselves, there seems to be nothing but ourselves before us wherever we turn. It is a culture of fun-house mirrors. And so we work, in these reflections, with our stuff; our small lump of clay that we know will never be the stone of Mt. Rushmore. Lacking real stature, done with gods and heroes, we seek to purchase forgiveness for our smallness.
We seek it from the therapist, even though he will tell us it is ourselves that will forgive us. (Or, as he puts it, "understanding.") At times of trial, we seek it from our idea of God, even though our priests cannot be trusted and will tell us to "Go and sin no more." (Difficult advice to follow these days when you consider the some of the sources and their increasingly demented and God-shunning theologies.) We even, it seems, we seek forgiveness from our dreams.
But we wake up from dreams and the world awaits us, the world moving "on its metalled ways of time past and time future." And the work of the world is there to be done, whatever our roles in that work may be -- most of which are, if we were frank, absurd. For the world is no longer about ourselves at all, but pressingly, inevitably and enduringly about all the others with whom we share the world, its sordid and strange past, its perplexing present, and its unknowable future.
In our immediate orbit of work and family it is, in a sense, "our world" and is what we make it day by day. But our day is of course involved in a much larger world of ever expanding and overlapping circles where greater issues and duties than our small needs, fears and hopes hold sway, and ring the changes of our times, and open wide --just when we think we have nailed them shut -- the doors of history. It is at these times the larger circles of events and moments impinge on our small and pleasant worlds to draw our attention and allegiance to the large and looming issues that shape and shift the larger landscapes.
In these last eight months, I've been reading an inordinate number of books and articles on war and on history and on what the immediate future might bring. Like millions of other Americans, the 11th of September drew my attention in an immediate and violent manner. I've become, I think, both more thoughtful about the present state of the world as well as angry about America's unprepared condition when it was forced to return to history. Living here in Brooklyn directly across from the fire that was the World Trade Center, I've also become very sensitive to the sound of airplanes overhead. (A single engine plane is heading west to east at this moment, the sound fading to silence instead of an explosion so I assume that it is safe and being safely handled and tracked.) Indeed, it is usually airplanes overhead that wake me in the morning rather than dreams.
Smiling experts sitting knee to knee gazing into nation's morning teleprompters inform us that many New Yorkers have trouble sleeping these last months because we have "unresolved issues and anxieties." Hogwash as usual. Any anxieties we might have had strike me now as fully resolved. I like to think we simply know first hand that evil and enemies exist and how quickly these enemies can destroy your city, and that other Americans have yet to learn this lesson up close and personal. A lesson that I hope they will never learn, but one that I am resigned to seeing taught again in the near future, since many in my country seem not to have learned it yet, even those who stood in the ashes of all those who died in the Towers. In America in 2002 it still seems to me that we have an inordinate fondness for sleep, dreams and forgetting. After all, one of the primary things we habitually do with our dreams is to forget them upon waking.
All of which is a periphrastic way to say that, after waking and scribbling down the notes about the dream before they escaped me, my first thoughts went to a passage in a book I've been reading, "Culture and Carnage: Landmark Battles in the Rise of Western Power" by Victor Davis Hanson. This is a book in which historic and deadly encounters between nations and powers are detailed from the battle of Salamis in 480 BC to the Tet offensive in Vietnam.
Two days ago I read Hanson's chapter on the American torpedo bombers that attacked the Japanese fleet at the battle of Midway. The chapter makes it clear that these bombers and their American crews were, because of the obsolescence of the machines coupled with the heroic commitment of their crews, doomed to destruction from the outset, and that the crews knew this. Still their selfless courage in pressing their attack forward made the victory of Midway, and the turning of the tide in the Pacific during the opening year of America's Second World War, possible. It's a vivid account of sacrifice for the sake of a greater good and a larger victory.
But what came to my mind on waking today were not the details of the battle but of what Hanson writes as a kind of epitaph to the men of the torpedo bombers who sacrificed themselves:
"To the modern American at the millennium, these carrier pilots of more than a half century ago -- Massey, Waldron, and Lindsey last seen fighting to free themselves in a sea of flames as their planes were blasted apart by Zeros -- now appear as superhuman exemplars of what constituted heroism in the bleak months after the beginning of World War II. Even their names seem almost caricatures of an earlier stalwart American manhood -- Max Leslie, Lem Massey, Wade McClusky, Jack Waldron -- doomed fighters who were not all young eighteen-year-old conscripts, but often married and with children, enthusiastic rather than merely willing to fly their decrepit planes into a fiery end above the Japanese fleet, in a few seconds to orphan their families if need be to defend all that they held dear. One wonders if an America of suburban, video-playing Nicoles, Ashleys and Jasons shall ever see their like again."
"One wonders ... if we shall ever see their like again."
A light rain is falling on this street in Brooklyn Heights in this spring of 2002. Somewhere across the East River a fire still smolders deep underground. I would like to think that the kind of men described in that passage above can still be called up out of this nation in the numbers necessary to our tasks ahead. We've seen their like on horseback lately in Afghanistan, but these are our 'Special Forces,' limited in number. I'd also like to think that we have at last been woken from our long sleep of comfort, therapy, money, and ever-expanding special pleadings that have splintered us with the promise of bringing us together. Still I know the our national temptation is always to roll over, hit the snooze bar, and try to grab a few more years of rest even as the enemies of our world patiently plan to assault us again and again, convinced of the weakness of our Nicoles, Ashleys, and Jasons, and the culture which has created and coddles them.
Our enemies have, as they have shown, great patience. They have more patience than we have shown, and a far deeper commitment to attaining their dark goals. They are the Believers while we are still the Dreamers, waking only briefly to write down a few notes for discussion later in the week, during the hour when all that is threatening to us in this darkening world is really only the shadows of ourselves.
But thanks to all for stopping by. None of you are on that list. [Well, maybe a few, and you know who you are.]
Back in Chico, CA, local weatherman Anthony Watts is making big news in the global climate change discussion. Watts has been a fixture in the North State scene for many years, as broadcaster, renewable energy wonk, school board trustee, and lovable local crank.
He started investigating weather stations that are part of the United States Historical Climatology Network (USHCN), maintained by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). They provide the raw data that is used to calculate the increase in surface temperatures, at least in the US.
And some of them are poorly sited.

With "Welcome to The Fred File" the keenly anticipated Republican Great White Hope, Fred Thompson, has entered the blogosphere with a daily blog which so far has captured his most important statements to the Net of late. As Thompson lopes up to his launch date on July 4th, (as ably reported by Webutante ) this not only be the candidate's blog to watch, but also the blogroll to watch as one Thompson-pumping site after another pushes to be included in this impeccable list of blogs that actually matter.
So far Thompson's blogroll is off to a good start wisely listing the blogs that are likely to be of most use to Thompson. At the same time, it's a good selection of the blogs for whom Thompson might be of use as well. That's the point of blogrolling.Continued...
We've all had experiences with big liars, but this schmuck is currently set to take away the Liar of the Decade Award. And like all who go for the big lie, it's little wonder he can rope in some other sad-sacks to augment his lie. And, true to the pattern of lies and, there's always a misty moment for crocodile tears in order that nobody dare doubt the "sincerity" of the lie. After all, if you can see the liar feels bad, that must mean he's telling the truth. Right? Right.

The water pressure in our homes and apartments has been gradually getting worse for two decades, thanks to EPA mandates on state and local governments. This has meant that even with a good showerhead, the shower is not as good as it might be. It also means that less water is running through our pipes, causing lines to clog and homes to stink just slightly like the sewer. This problem is much more difficult to fix, especially because plumbers are forbidden by law from hacking your water pressure. | Foundation for Economic Education [HT: Never Yet Melted]

The crazier and more diverse the media mythologies, the better. Melania Trump was a former call girl and illegal alien. Ivanka Trump was peddling her business wares from the West Wing.

These are not explicitly criminal organizations, but they certainly play outside the spirit of the laws. Obama is out of office and prohibited from running again, but he still controls the Democratic party. The Clintons would be in charge, if not for the fact that the voters took their under boss out in the Tuesday Night Massacre, otherwise known as the presidential election. Even so, the Clinton Family is still a player. Late Phase Capitalism | The Z Blog
Everyone, white and black, knows the reality on the street. The blacks with anything on the ball do exactly like the whites and that's put distance between themselves and the black ghetto. That does not stop the Progressive maniacs from ranting about racism, but they do it from high up in the towers of their whites-only neighborhoods. As a result, no one hears them and so they can be ignored. The Killing Season | The Z Blog

At first it wasn't clear why the bees chose the blue Nissan car and he and a colleague were trying to determine whether this was just a temporary stop or a new nesting site. But as the bees moved to the inside of the bonnet, filling every nook and cranny, things got more serious. "They're building a lot of wax in there now, and of course once they start doing that, they're reluctant to leave it, because it's the start of building a house. They put a lot of effort into producing the wax," Coulson told Hull Daily Mail. "I've got a feeling this might be their chosen permanent home."

This pathetic character in Alexandria is, now was, the left's ungoverned id. By any means necessary -- that's for sure. They will undoubtedly try to shove him under the rug as quickly as possible, just one more aberrant individual to be forgotten, just one obscure Bernie volunteer gone bad. Sanders did his best to separate himself within minutes of the revelation. Yes, it's undoubtedly true that this was just one rotten apple, but it's also true that only five years ago Bernie was recommending Venezuela -- now ground zero for starvation, kidnapping and murder -- as a path for us to emulate.
NASA, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the university system and the United Nations rule us from the past. Public life has become a museum of memes from which nothing can escape without a mummy hand dragging the fugitive back into the darkened interior. It is perhaps no coincidence the two most popular leaders of the Western left, Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders, might credibly impersonate Boris Karloff. They are here to lead us back to 1968. Stuck

The Internet did not kill the power of the newspapers. It was suicide. And not just because most of them had Marxist editorials, editors, and reporters. Newspapers lost their sense of community -- and their credibility -- when the heirs to hometown publishers didn't want the paper, sold it to a chain for $1,000 per subscriber to a chain -- Gannett, Knight-Ridder, Thomson -- and moved on.

For men desire to base their affairs on everything except the one incorruptible truth which has been set down before us by God , and therefore these affairs have no permanent value . . . only when love and truth meet together, only when men come to understand that the highest act of loving-kindness is to bring men to know and practice the truth, only then will the marriage of love and truth produce that condition on earth in which everyone and everything will occupy the place which has been assigned to it by the will of God.

John Maddox, editor of Nature, repeatedly criticized its claims; within a year, Stephen Schneider, one of the leading figures in the climate model, began to speak of "nuclear autumn." It just didn't have the same ring. A final media embarrassment came in 1991, when Carl Sagan predicted on Nightline that Kuwaiti oil fires would produce a nuclear winter effect, causing a "year without a summer," and endangering crops around the world. Sagan stressed this outcome was so likely that "it should affect the war plans." None of it happened. Raconteur Report: Aliens Cause Global Warming by Michael Crichton
Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. - - Woodpile Report
