2013 Va. General Assembly Q&A
Members of Henrico's delegation discuss the 2013 session
The Henrico Citizen invited each of Henrico's General Assembly members five questions about the 2013 session. The answers of those who responded by the deadline appear here. 1. What is the most important issue facing the General Assembly this year? Why? Farrell – With it being the governor's last year in office, he has presented proposals for major changes in education and transportation. In regards to education, the General Assembly will have to consider, among other issues, the best method of determining teacher compensation to ensure optimal performance in the classroom. We must also decide on the best strategy to assist Virginia school systems that are struggling. When discussing transportation, the General Assembly must address the ever-growing issue of budgetary shortfalls over the past decade for new road construction. The governor has proposed eliminating the gas tax and a 0.8-cent increase in sales tax as a solution, and it will be up to us to decide if this is the best formula going forward to ensure the viability of Virginia's transportation funding system. Improved education and transportation systems are the pillars of a strong economic future for Virginians. Loupassi – Education reforms. The governor has proposed a number of reforms for K-12 education, and those are likely to have a great amount of discussion. Additionally, mental health spending and the budget considerations will occupy much of our time. Massie – The most important issue facing the legislature this year is economic growth and jobs creation. Since 2009, numerous private businesses have invested $10 billion in expanding their existing operations or starting new ones, announced 1,027 economic development projects and created 60, 865 jobs. Our investment in job- creating economic development activities here in Virginia has really paid off. Our unemployment rate in Virginia is 5.5 percent, the lowest in the Southeast and the second lowest east of the Mississippi. The national unemployment rate is 7.9 percent. As we continue to compete with other states and other countries to attract business, we need to stay energized and creative. Our citizens need the jobs and our government services need the revenues. O'Bannon – The most important issues this year will be the budget and transportation. Both are vitally important to keeping Virginia's economic and job growth going. Transportation problems have cost us rankings nationally, and we need to deal with this problem. McEachin – The most important issue facing the General Assembly this year is the option for Medicaid expansion. By expanding Medicaid, we will provide working Virginians with health care, create jobs and stop our federal tax dollars from going to other states. Most significantly, we will do this at absolutely no cost to Virginia for the first three years. Even after that, the federal government will always pick up at least 90 percent of the costs. In other words, we can create jobs, help our fellow Virginians and keep our hard-earned dollars in Virginia simply by supporting Medicaid expansion. Expanding Medicaid will insure between 300,000 to over 400,000 Virginians who have no health insurance, create more than 30,000 new jobs and save the state money spent for indigent care. Stosch – On the budget side, Virginia is one of the largest beneficiaries of federal spending, particularly with the large concentration of military bases and ship building in Hampton Roads and federal workers in northern Virginia. We can deal with adversity; we can deal with good news. It is more difficult to deal with uncertainty which is what we face at this time with potential added budget pressures on our Commonwealth from federal action (or inaction). As examples, the national healthcare plan can add hundreds of millions to state spending at a time in which state funds are stagnant; how and when federal sequestration is resolved could result in significant job losses in Virginia. And, of course, there are many other implications which will impact our economy in Virginia. So, until we understand more of the specifics of impending federal action and how those actions will impact Virginia, our best course is to continue to be frugal, plan carefully and build our rainy day funds. 2. What legislation do you plan to introduce during this year's session? Farrell – I have always made a point to support legislation that gives local government greater flexibility, and four of my bills this session do just that. House Bill 1331 provides that any county or city and certain towns may establish and maintain a defined contribution retirement plan for its employees instead of any other retirement plans. House Bill 1332 allows a local governing body to request an audit from the Auditor of Public Accounts at any time upon a majority vote. House Bill 1333 allows localities to amend service district boundaries after notice and a public hearing. House Bill 1620 allows a county to adopt an optional form of local government upon the vote of a majority of the members of its governing body. Loupassi – I have proposed a number of bills that relate to public safety, legal efficiencies and spending. I have introduced legislation to outlaw texting while driving and synthetic drugs. I have introduced legislation to stop the government from charging separate fees for toll transponders. I have introduced a constitutional amendment to control runaway governmental spending. Massie – My primary legislative focus this year is education. I believe that our K-12 education policies and funding are paving roads to success for our youth. Virginia is ranked the fourth-best state to raise a child in. Virginia, and in particular Henrico County, has wonderful public schools. We also have the finest system of public higher education in the country. During this 2013 session Governor McDonnell and the House Republican Caucus are proposing major education initiatives and reforms including: a 2 percent salary increase for teachers, a strategic compensation program, improving teachers' continuing contracts, improved reading achievements, a solution for failing schools, major charter school initiatives and many others. I support the governor's education reform agenda. Last year, my Educational Improvement Scholarship bill passed the General Assembly and became law. It allows for tax credits for donations to approved foundations which award scholarships to economically disadvantaged children to attend a school of their parents' choice. I will again introduce a bill for educational improvement scholarships to improve the practical applications of the scholarship process. O'Bannon – I'm introducing a constitutional amendment to guarantee secret ballot voting in union elections in Virginia. I'm also introducing a bill to allow citizens to directly contribute to the Virginia 529 College Savings program from their state income tax refund. McEachin – I have a variety of bills that I will be introducing. Here are three examples. I am going to introduce legislation to prohibit discrimination based on sexual identity in state employment. I also plan to introduce a bill to ensure that citizens who apply for an absentee ballot are able to request confirmation that the ballot was received. Just like voting on Election Day, Virginians should know that their votes have been recorded and will be counted. I am also introducing a bill prohibiting the governor from unilaterally imposing tolls on the interstate highways here in Virginia without General Assembly approval (and I would oppose such tolls). Stosch – In the case of personal legislation, as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, I typically do not introduce specific legislation other than the budget and bond bills. 3. Will you support Henrico's request to gain authority to implement a meals tax? Why or why not? Farrell – Given the results of the 2005 referendum, the citizens of Henrico at that time clearly did not support such an increase. Therefore, I cannot support a measure that will overlook the opinion of the citizens of Henrico as illustrated by the results of that referendum in favor of the opinion of the General Assembly. I am happy to work with county officials to come up with solutions to budgetary shortfalls anticipated with the decline in real estate tax revenue which can be presented to the citizens for their approval. Loupassi – I believe that we have a process in place for the voters to consider such a tax. Henrico voters rejected the tax a very short while ago. I think if it is to be raised, then the voters need to be asked again directly. Massie – In the past I have voted across the board to give local elected officials the authority to manage local tax and spending decisions. However, in the case of the current Henrico County meals tax proposal, this issue was voted on, and defeated, by public referendum in 2005. Therefore, I believe that the public's decision should not be put aside now in favor of local authority. Rather I believe that the county should rely on public input for a meals tax decision. I will work with the county and my constituents to establish that channel of input. Also, I will work with the county to explore other avenues to replace depleted real estate tax revenues of recent years so that the high quality of county services can be upheld. O'Bannon – Since Henrico recently held a referendum on this which failed, I believe we'll need to engage our constituients on this. Have placed this question on my legislative district survey and will be discussing with people in my district. Henrico is well run and has limited choices for generating revenue, especially with the real estate tax base dipping so much. Residents may feel more comfortable with a meals tax option for consideration. McEachin – Yes, I will support this legislation. Localities should have the option to make their own decisions. Stosch – Henrico's request for authority for a meals tax came about as a result of the county administration reaching a conclusion that current and future Henrico transportation needs cannot be met without adequate revenue from either additional real estate tax assessment or other revenues, such as a meals tax. They expressed a preference for a meals tax. An alternative would be for the state to increase its reimbursement to Henrico for maintaining what would otherwise be a state responsibility. Of all of the counties throughout Virginia, only the counties of Henrico and Arlington currently pay for their own roads. This is a matter we will have to evaluate further before the best informed decisions can be made by the legislators and the County officials to see how Henrico can be treated fairly. 4. Do you believe that Virginia should toughen gun standards, in light of the Connecticut school shooting? If so, how? Farrell – The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., sadly highlights a growing issue stemming from many concerns. As we await the pending new federal gun regulations in Congress, carefully measured action should be taken at the state level in order to ensure lasting, positive results. I believe that we should engage in a multi-faceted approach and look at all aspects of reasonable and responsible reform, such as mental health and school safety, including school resource officer expansion. For example, Governor McDonnell has proposed $5 million for specific adult and child crisis services and an additional $1 million for children's mental health services. Loupassi – I believe the problem is related to mental health. I will carefully consider any bills brought to me, but the devil is always, as they say, in the details. Massie – This is not an area of public policy expertise for me. However, I do believe that school safety depends on mental health preventative practices as well as safe gun standards that do not offend the U.S. Constitution. O'Bannon – The governor has convened a work group to deal with this. We had a school massacre at Virginia Tech and have updated our laws regarding mental health. I am not supportive of more gun laws but am very supportive of improving mental health care in the state. I am serving on this commission. McEachin – I believe in some common sense safety measures while still supporting the Second Amendment. We need universal background checks that ensure that suspected terrorists, dangerous convicted felons and those suffering from mental illness are not able to circumvent our background check law to obtain guns. Unfortunately, now, more than 40 percent of guns are sold without background checks. The vast majority of background checks take less than two minutes. I also support a ban on high capacity magazines. Hunters and citizens using those guns for protection do not need high capacity magazines. These magazines exist simply to create violent mayhem. If the magazine size had been limited, many more victims might have survived in recent mass shootings. 5. Do you support raising the gas tax? Why or why not? Farrell – New fuel economy standards will increase to 54.5 miles per gallon of gas by 2025, causing the gas tax to become a declining revenue source. That being said, I am willing to listen to all revenue-generating plans that help fund transportation. Loupassi – The governor has proposed a comprehensive transportation package and we will consider all aspects of that proposal. Massie – I don't support raising the gas tax. I believe that sustained revenue growth is best achieved through economic growth. Economic growth is best achieved via lower marginal tax rates, less regulation and litigation. This approach will yield a correlated increase in tax revenues which may then be used to fund core essential services of government, including transportation. O'Bannon – The gas tax is certainly one option. We will be reviewing a number of proposals, some of which are quite complicated. I could support a proposal to index or raise the gas tax so long as additional revenue from some other sources is also provided. McEachin – I support a long-term, sustainable solution to the transportation crisis. We need to repair cracks and potholes, fix our old and substandard bridges and renovate our crumbling tunnels. To do this, we must have a steady, dependable revenue source as well as make appropriate cuts and efficiencies in other spending. The gas tax is one possibility to address this problem, but I am open to certain other solutions also. However, I do oppose putting tolls on I-95 as the governor has proposed. Stosch – Additional legislation regarding public safety, how to deal with traffic congestion and how to best maintain roads throughout Virginia will be important topics for discussion, all of which will require much debate and evaluation before any final decisions can be reached. I, along with my legislative colleagues representing Henrico, am proud of our county and will serve its citizens as faithfully and professionally as we can. |

DRM Issues: Windows Expert Looking to Move to Linux
Security expert Jesper Johansson is planning to remove Windows Media Center from his computer and to install Linux MCE due to frustration with his former employer Microsoft's DRM software.
Prior to moving to Amazon in September 2006, Johansson was Senior Program Manager for security with Microsoft. He publicly vented his frustration with Windows Media Center in his blog referring to the "Blue Screen of DRM Death", or the death of Windows Media Center. Johansson's frustration was triggered by his attempts to get a cable network video system to run on the machine. Shortly after the movie launched, the image was replaced by a blue DRM screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue followed, however, the machine kept on crashing after installing the Internet Explorer update for Microsoft DRM recommended by Microsoft. "Microsofts 'security update' caused a denial of service (DoS)", Johannson states. DRM fanatics made the Microsoft product completely useless, he writes. Johannson views Linux MCE as an alternative. Many users have reacted to his blog entry in the meantime, and shared their experiences with various systems, including MythTV on Ubuntu Linux. Surprised with the vehement responses, Johannson added that he had been satisfied with the Microsoft solution up to this point.

The HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook, which has been rumored for weeks, features a 14-inch 1366x768 screen. The company said its diagonal measurement is about two inches wider than any other Chromebook on the market.
The Chrome OS from Google relies entirely on cloud -based apps and files, and the HP model includes Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, access to the Chrome Web Store and, for multi-person video chatting, Google+ Hangouts.
'Great Appeal'
The new, 4-pound model has a 1.1-GHz Intel Celeron processor, Intel high-definition graphics, 4 GB memory , a TrueVision HD Webcam, and a 16-GB solid-state drive which assists with fast start-ups. Ports include HDMI, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi , USB 2.0, Ethernet, a combination headphone/microphone jack and a media card reader. The Chromebook also comes with 100 GB of free storage on Google Drive for two years. Battery life is a relatively short 4.25 hours, and the starting price is $330.
Kevin Frost, vice president and general manager for Consumer PCs at HP, said in a statement that the Chrome OS "is showing great appeal to a growing customer base."
Large organizations could find Chromebooks appealing because, as a cloud-based computer, IT departments can centrally manage in the cloud updating and backups, and can more readily maintain security. Additionally, any individual device could be used by any employee, who simply logs in on any machine to get individual files and a personalized desktop.
Chromebooks are also being sold by Samsung, Lenovo and Acer. The entry of HP, the largest computer maker in the world, adds more credibility to this cloud-based approach.
Top Amazon Seller
An emerging question is whether Chromebooks will have appeal beyond narrow niches, and, if so, if their sales could hurt Windows 8 computers. HP Executive Vice President Todd Bradley told news media last month that his company found sales of Windows 8 machines to be disappointing. Acer President Jim Wong has also described Windows 8 as "still not successful." (continued...)

Now Playing: Jay Z - Politics As Usual
My brother is trying to get my into some of his music; not bad stuff really. I've been in Viking/Barbarian sorta mood lately
^ pretty cool, reminds me of Nightwish or Evanescence or something...
as far as Viking bands I don't know many but this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Lf13u9B5Q is a pretty good song (and they are Scandinavian so close enough )
Not sure if what I listen to can really be posted here... it's kinda shocking visually. Not for sensitive hearts either.
Rammstein - Mein Teil
^ pretty cool, reminds me of Nightwish or Evanescence or something...
as far as Viking bands I don't know many but this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Lf13u9B5Q is a pretty good song (and they are Scandinavian so close enough )
Not bad; I like the sound from the singers.
Same on Mien Teil. Don't understand a word they say, and I usually listen to it with the video minimized, but the sound the band and singer has is awesome.
By Viking music I was meaning something a litte more like THIS. A bit repetitive, but I love the sound. Not something I'd listen all the time, but it really puts me into the warrior spirit when I'm writing or working on my costumes
As far as normal, everyday stuff I love to listen to all the time, one of my all time favorite songs right now is Bad Company by Five Finger Death Punch. It's the theme song I've picked for my Cheyenne Security Agency concept for my Army of Two/Expendables style mercenary company. My friends joke that it's MY theme song since I listen to it so much

@ Terra: When I was a little kid I used to have the Mortal Kombat soundtracks (I loved those movies) and one of my favorite songs on it was Rammstein - Engel, I had no idea what they were saying but I listened to it over and over
@ Ralin: That was a good viking song my bad about the confusion for what you meant lol, but yeah I like those types of songs (chants etc) a lot. Bad Company was cool too, do you have the album it's on and would you recommend it?
NP: Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
Iron Maiden is awesome. I also like some old GnR very much. Bruce and Axl are probably the voices I can "karaoke" the best too, lol.
That Viking stuff is really different. Thanks for sharing. It's an experience. I can see how it can go according to a certain mood.
Reminds me stuff from a native american band I've been listening to since a very long time, Kashtin. Here's a few of their best songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwXekoy3 … re=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIuBuEId … re=related
Not your typical expected "native american" stuff but I love it. Started listening to them in the 90s and didn't stop since then. There's also another band/singer I love, here's a link to one of his recent songs (he's been in a band in the 90s, now he goes solo but sometimes the band gathers for concerts) :
An awesome artist and awesome man. I had a long conversation with him on Facebook one night that I was hitting rock bottom, a few years ago. He has all this talent and these awesome songs and we had this conversation about little me, lol. He's opened my eyes on a couple things in his cold, fist-hit, straight-to-the-point style. That guy's always been a natural winner and that night he gave me a little of that. Been a good wake-up, gonna have to thank him someday.

NP: Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
Yeah I've got the album and definately recomend it. Hard To See and Burn It Downare two epic songs from that album, and there's several others that are pretty good.
I never would have considered myself a 'metal head' in anyway before I started listening to them, and I'm really still not, but this band alone has really broadened my horizens into the genre. I just love the lead singer's voice. He can do really heavy metal, but sound just as epic in ballads and slower paced songs. And the band behind him is just awesome.
I didn't think there were quite as many really good songs on the 'Way of the Fist' album, but it does have one of my all time favorite songs on it, bar none. Never Enough is like a theme for everybody who ever fought to fit in but was just never good enough; and finally had enough. Epic song from a great band
Last edited by Ralin Drakus (Saturday, July 17, 2010 1:52 am)
I guess I'm a metal head myself, on some sides. Not as much as before though, I recently "dumped" KISS as their recent album (Sonic Boom, don't try it, it sucks) was so bad that if I had been in their place, I just wouldn't have released it at all. It kinda broke my love of them and trust that they only make good stuff. They are not what they used to be.
In fact, recently, GnR (Chinese Democracy), Ace Frehley (Anomaly), KISS (Sonic Boom), and even Rammstein (Roserot) all disappointed me, along with Aerosmith splitting up.
There's another old band, sorta hard, of which I like the sound, although I am not sure I agree with the lyrics, lol. Rage Against The Machine.
Last edited by Terra (Saturday, July 17, 2010 8:28 am)
Yeah I stopped paying attention to new GnR, they'll never be as good as they used to be when they had slash and everything. Rage Against the Machine is great though, I love their guitarist his riffs are always really cool.
NP: Blackstar - Respiration
Sorry if it's a stupid question, what's NP standing for?
Yeah I think RATM were the first ones using an electric guitar in that way. It's really different.
I think he's saying that's what he's 'Now Playing'
Cool. Thanks. "NP" triggers automatically "no problem" in my mind, and I could not imagine what else it could be, lol.
I need something new to listen to. Anyone got something to suggest?

Long time I didn't listen to that. Only got "Back In Black" at home. I used to have "The Razors Edge", but I have no clue where it went.

There's echo around here...
Now even my fav musician starts getting into Lady Gaga, does it mean I have to follow that crazy wave?.. Gene, you disappoint me... again (after Sucky Boom).
I'm eclectic, but... I mean, she's creative and daring, but she's not that special and her music material is not all that good. All the special effects are only a wrapping-better-than-gift illusion. Kudos for all the new ideas and illusions, it's showbusiness. But it's still I-want-to-get-seen more than good music.
I know, I know, KISS was the same. I am starting to see it now that the charm has waned off of me, lol. Bah, when you can't make it by being beautiful, make it by being a monster. Lady Gaga's even a bigger monster than they've been, they've had one rather static shape while she keeps morphing into weirder and weirder, lol.
NP: Elton John / Daniel
Yup, some good old Elton John. He keeps doing new stuff but I prefer his "Greatest Hits" from the 70s. It's just good. Makes you want to grab a guitar and start playing softly.

Now before you start judging me this version of the song was slowed down by 800% and amazingly it's actually a good ambient track

Back now the doctors and -- house call the battle of the bulge raising some new questions to stomach size really matter you know -- think there's a correlation.
Between the size of your belly.
And how much you eat doctors from Iowa -- like the opposite it's how much you -- -- depends upon the size of.
This and Eric I get this question every day does size matter and make some use somebody asking that question.
You look at them says yes it does of course we are talking about the size of the -- now obesity has gone up epidemic over a third of the country's obese.
-- 110.
Billion dollars being invested on just obesity alone.
This is a quick exercise you can do look at -- it wastes our conference.
Measure it from you -- all the way around.
Take your height in inches divided by two that should be your -- our conference for men.
Should be less than forty inches for women less than 35 and that's the way you know whether you should lose weight or not.
Now we talk about belly fat and that's that apple shape -- -- wanted people not to -- -- The belly fat -- the visceral fat is our biggest enemy again that's what's causing a lot of heart disease.
We used to think of this as only cosmetic reasons now most doctors are looking -- belly fat as a real organ.
-- he creates if planetary process that can lead to heart disease it can work on the liver at duke -- -- deliver called portal -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- It can work on a muscle.
To decrease their resistance to -- insulated what does that mean diabetes.
I don't the kidneys had visceral fat around the kidney can compress and make you absorb more sodium high blood pressure so what do we have here as a result of it it.
If we have -- about to apologize to get into the got to bring doctor -- investment as well doctors money is so much talk about here doctor -- I do wanna talk about as we're talking about how.
That the size of your belly is important we note your biggest enemy.
Omelet you have a lot of people getting the lap band surgery or the gastric bypass surgery in their shrinking -- their -- through surgery does this really work.
Well now because it as David says it's it's not really -- that matters.
It's what's going on and when you get those surgeries again the problem is with the hormones.
It's so in other words you're not getting the right hormones and you're -- inflammatory.
Markers in there you getting inflammation inflammation leads to heart disease so again we see four times as much heart disease three times as much dementia.
Much more stroke and diabetes if you have all of that belly fat around you and you know it.
How low testosterone causes this again I'm gonna say like last week that's -- feel -- I don't mean David as a low testosterone into high testosterone.
But he treats people with a low testosterone and I'm looking for that everybody over the age of fifty.
-- -- -- mark I was hoping I was hoping after the -- over there.
This as a viewer will get better -- its -- very cute.
Look I think what you love everything with it -- David I -- -- one -- they're going to be the test the test does don't expert told me out here unfortunately.
Endurance sports like -- do not increase your testosterone you -- do weightlifting for absolutely.
Look I think a lot of things were talking about metabolic syndrome which is everything we talked about the high blood pressure diabetes and heart disease.
And we've talked about this in the past how do you take care of this that's what people really want to know.
And the way to do that is to really get thirty minutes of exercise every other day that's very important make sure you eat breakfast that's the best -- the food up today.
Make sure you take you Green tea or coffee that increase your metabolism.
I cannot emphasize how important it is to get seven hours of sleep that's so important losing weight.
-- seven glass is -- water and make sure if you can stick to organic food.
Getting rid of all the pesticides that can take that and it isn't -- your height and divide by two that's great that's a -- -- -- capitalized financial up under that after the program thank.

It's a sign of Oracle's transformation that a new release of the vendor's flagship database software seemingly gets third billing behind new cloud computing services and "engineered systems" such as the new Exadata X3 Database In-Memory Machine.
Oracle executives would probably deny that and profess that they love all their children equally. But here at Oracle OpenWorld 2012 it's clear that the emphasis is not on the Oracle Database 12c (the "c" is for cloud) as a stand-alone product, but on how it fits into the Oracle "stack" of technologies.
"Best-of-breed technology at every level of the stack," said Oracle President Mark Hurd in a press conference Monday, emphasizing the vendor's goal of offering leading products from data storage and servers, to virtualization and database software, up through middleware applications.
"Our objective is for each of those levels of the stack, each of those layers of the stack, to be the absolute best at the job they perform," Hurd said.
[Related: Oracle Readies Cloud Blitz With New Partner Specialization, Integration Programs]
At the press conference, as he did earlier Monday in a brief keynote speech, Hurd said developing best-of-breed technology at each level is one of Oracle's four overarching strategies, along with integrating those components into the company's line of engineered systems, delivering next-generation cloud applications, and using all that technology to provide industry-specific systems.
Sunday night, in his own keynote, CEO Larry Ellison unveiled both the Oracle Database 12c and Exadata X3 -- the latter the third generation of the Exadata system that debuted in 2008. He also detailed Oracle's plans to expand its cloud offerings to include Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) services, and to offer an option for customers to implement Oracle Cloud as a private cloud system.
"We're now the only [vendor] with a complete cloud offering, end-to-end," Hurd said Monday."This is a big deal." He acknowledged that Oracle's efforts will mean more "co-opetition" with companies such as Salesforce.com, which competes with Oracle in the CRM application space but also uses Oracle database and middleware software to run its services.

Y. 11735 Thursday, March 25, 1976 Copyright 1976 by bland— Wide Publications, Inc. price 1 Si - $ 5 per year Legislators Restore Aid To Farmingdale Schools As State legislators trooped into the legislative chambers in Albany last week to vote on the proposed annual State Budget and 10 inches of new snow blanketed the State Capitol, it looked like the Nassau Republican legislators' pledge to remain there until " hell freezes over" or Governor Carey provides more funds for local school districts was about to come true. Many hours later, the Nassau Republican delegation won their battle and knew it would be a bright spring for them and their school districts, as legislation was passed to restore $ 116 million in State aid to education which was originally proposed as a budget cut by Governor Carey. " It's a great victory for the people of Nassau County and all suburban areas in the State," said a smiling, but tired Assemblyman Joseph M. Margiotta ( R- Uniondale), spokesman for the 12- member Nassau Republican delegation. Assemblyman Philip B. Healey ( R- C Massapequa) announced $ 631,308 in school aid cuts for the Farmingdale School District have been restored in the 1976- 77 State Budget. Assemblyman Healey said that Governor Carey proposed to reduce Farmingdale school aid by $ 631,308 in January but during several months of negotiations Healey dramatized the plight of the Farmingdale taxpayer. Healey said that some residents could lose their homes due to high taxes and others were experiencing severe financial hardship. Assemblyman Healey, who participated in initiating the ' save harmless' concept in 1971, said that this $ 631,308 will eliminate the necessity of the taxpayers paying the difference in the state aid reduction which Farmingdale would otherwise have experienced. " With this $ 631,308, the Farmingdale School Board can be assisted in its efforts to control tax increases," Healey concluded. Assemblyman Lewis J.

[ Post photo by Bob Starrett] Right Turn On Red, But Only At Sign Unwary motorists may think they're right turning right on a red light, and they may be - but then again, they may be wrong. It all depends on whether or not there's a sign at the intersection which says, " Right on Red After Stop." According to Deputy Inspector Lawrence Thome, commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Department's Accident Prevention Bureau, there has been considerable confusion recently among motorists about the legality of making a right hand turn when facing a red light. The confusion apparently steins from the fact that some 100 • tins authorising a right turn at a red light have been installed by the Department of Public Works at various intersections around the county during the past five months and tome driven have taken it to mean that it is legal to make a right hand turn at a red light at any intersection. " It just isn't so," said Inspector Thorne. " Only where such a sign is posted can a motorist legally make such a turn and then only after coming to a full stop and If traffic conditions permit it." He noted that besides coining to a full stop, drivers must also yield the right of way to pedestrians crossing the street they are on and to automobile traffic travelling on the road they want to enter. Anyone not adhering to the law can be issued a ticket for passing a red Mght which can call for penalties of up to 15 days in jail and a $ 50 fine for first offenders and as much as 90 days in tail and a $ 250 fine for anyone win more than two convictions in a period of 18 months.

The voters of the Farmingdale School pistrict said " Yes" to the bond issue that will allow the trustees to exercise their option to buy the building for $ 250,000. In Tuesday's referendum at Weldon E. Howitt Junior High School, 1489 of the 1793 registered voters who cast their ballots voted in the affirmative as opposed to only 304 " no" votes. George Fain, president of the Board of Library Trustees, told the Post Tuesday night that he and the trustees were delighted with the results of the vote, but were surprised at the small number of negative votes cast. He said he was afraid that the small voter turnout would end in the defeat of the proposition. Now that they have public approval to purchase the building, the trustees can exercise their option in the 1960 lease and remain in the south branch as their own landlord. Had the referendum been defeated the lease would have been renegotiated in October and the rental increased from $ 25,000 per year to $ 40,000 with a tax escalating clause. Had the proposition been defeated and the library forced to move at some future date to available school facilities, as suggested by some opponents, the cost of the move, including architects fees and the mezanine installed several years ago by the library, would most likely have cost in excess of the $ 250,000 purchase price. As Fain explained after Tuesday's vote, " Buying the building at a 1960 price was the most economical way to go, the public must have seen it that way." Board Won't Three Burglaries Negotiate In Farmingdale Say Teachers After numerous unproductive negotiating sessions the Farmingdale Federation of Teachers again finds it necessary to express its dismay over the Board of Education's continued failure to attend the contract negotiation meetings. The absence of any real dialogue between the Board of Education and the Federation portends serious difficulties for all concerned. With the teachers' contract expiring on March 31, we believe that the Board's intransigence may toad to the development of an unfortunate ~ situation. The Board's apparent failure to understand the complexities of settling a contract, and the continued non- attendance of Board members ( except Lucille Goulding), especially Board President, Robert Weiss, can only lead to a crisis situation in I Continued on page 20] Three burglaries were reported in the Farmingdale area during the past week by eighth precinct police.

Baked Quinoa Chicken Parmesan
If you had told me a year, or even six months ago, that there would come a time that Shane would request quinoa for dinner, I would never have believed you. Frankly, it's still not something I look forward to all that much. Of the dishes I've made, the buffalo chicken quinoa mac and cheese has been the biggest hit. While we both really like it, we would probably never choose it over traditional mac and cheese made with pasta if that were also an option.
Last month I discovered this baked quinoa chicken parmesan from Elly of Elly Says Opa, however, and all bets went out the window. It's been on our menu nearly once a week since I first made it, and on more than one occasion it's been because Shane specifically said "we should have that quinoa chicken parm again, it's so good!" Words I never expected to hear from my meat and potatoes husband :) In my opinion, the biggest compliment I can give this dish is that I've never eaten it and secretly wished the quinoa was pasta instead. You really won't miss it one bit!
There are several components to this meal but they can all be prepped ahead of time so at the last minute all you have to do is assemble and bake. It definitely falls in the weeknight category here. And unless you're feeding an army, this baked quinoa chicken parmesan will feed you for several days; we find the leftovers reheat very well. I love that it still feels very much like the comfort food I so crave during the winter, but with a healthier, more protein-packed twist!
It's actually been a week or twice since I last made this dish, and I can almost guarantee that as soon as Shane sees the post he's going to email me and ask when we're having it again :)
Baked Quinoa Chicken Parmesan
adapted just slightly from Elly Says Opa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup quinoa
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a 2-qt baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
To make the sauce: Add the oil to a large saucepan set over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Continue cooking until the vinegar is almost completely absorbed. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer as you continue with the recipe.
To make the quinoa: Add the quinoa to a fine-mesh strainer, and rinse well under cold water (if you don't, it will have a bitter taste). Transfer the quinoa to a saucepan and add the chicken broth. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.
Add the cooked quinoa and the chicken to the sauce and stir to combine. Add half of this mixture to the prepared baking dish then top with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Add the remaining half of the quinoa mixture and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella. Top with the Parmesan cheese and then the breadcrumbs.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Garnish with the parsley before serving.

I'm going to give this a try. Like you I don't look forward to quinoa. My kid loves it, however (go figure). This might trick me into liking it actually!

Well if anything this just goes to prove that when people say they don't like something, they really just mean that they don't like the way they've had it prepared...I maintain there's a recipe for every ingredient out there for everyone!

Shane enjoying quinoa? Never would have imagined that. LOL! Looks good!

Ok OK! I get it. I need to try quinoa. Really, drooling over my screen at this really makes me want to pull that bag I bought out of the pantry right now. (Hopefully I can get Handsome to request quinoa too!)
- February 27, 2013 at 9:03 PM
- Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts said...
Just pinned this for later! We like quinoa, but I need more things to do with it, and this looks perfect!

- Becca said...
I have tried several times to like quinoa but I just can't seem to get used to it. But it kind of reminds me of cuzcuz (probably butchered that spelling) and I do like that stuff.
Despite my distaste for quinoa, this looks very delicious! :) - February 28, 2013 at 8:56 PM
- Tracy {pale yellow} said...
This looks a warm and lovely dinner option. I love quinoa and chicken parm, what a great combination.
- March 3, 2013 at 6:16 PM
- Nicole@HeatOvento350 said...
I'm loving this dish! I know I'd love it, and I'm guessing if Shane ate it, my husband would eat it too. :)
- March 5, 2013 at 11:03 AM
- Sherlly said...
Made this for my husband and I and it came out really delicious! Great recipe =)
- March 8, 2013 at 2:40 PM

- March 27, 2013 at 12:26 AM

Customizing SMF > SMF Coding Discussion
Custom login method
I'm using SMF 2.0.2, and want to use Janrain Engage to have users log into my forum with their Facebook, Twitter, Google (etc) accounts.
Once the user has authenticated himself as the owner of a certain (eg) Facebook ID, and I've matched that against a member in the forum database, how can I then bypass SMF's usual login system to the stage where I can say "its all good, go ahead and log him in as this member"? Where is the piece of code in the SMF files that does this?
Thanks for any help. :)
Hello JamesWC,
You can try to get Login.php, located in the Sources folder, to do the job for you.
I don't know how I missed it, but thank you! The bits I need are indeed in LogInOut.php - fingers crossed from here on out.
--- Quote from: JamesWC on August 09, 2012, 05:15:25 PM ---I don't know how I missed it, but thank you! The bits I need are indeed in LogInOut.php - fingers crossed from here on out.
--- End quote ---
Ah LogInOut.php, of course ;)
Good luck with your project :)
Back again, as I'm having problems...
At the top of my non-SMF page I include two SMF files:
--- Code: ---require_once('forum/index-custom.php');
--- End code ---
index-custom.php is a modified version of SMF's root index.php, omitting sections that would cause anything to be displayed on the page:
--- Code: ---<?php
* Simple Machines Forum (SMF)
* @package SMF
* @author Simple Machines http://www.simplemachines.org
* @copyright 2011 Simple Machines
* @license http://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/license.php BSD
* @version 2.0.2
/* This, as you have probably guessed, is the crux on which SMF functions.
Everything should start here, so all the setup and security is done
properly. The most interesting part of this file is the action array in
the smf_main() function. It is formatted as so:
'action-in-url' => array('Source-File.php', 'FunctionToCall'),
Then, you can access the FunctionToCall() function from Source-File.php
with the URL index.php?action=action-in-url. Relatively simple, no?
$forum_version = 'SMF 2.0.2';
// Get everything started up...
define('SMF', 1);
if (function_exists('set_magic_quotes_runtime'))
error_reporting(defined('E_STRICT') ? E_ALL | E_STRICT : E_ALL);
$time_start = microtime();
// This makes it so headers can be sent!
// Do some cleaning, just in case.
foreach (array('db_character_set', 'cachedir') as $variable)
if (isset($GLOBALS[$variable]))
unset($GLOBALS[$variable], $GLOBALS[$variable]);
// Load the settings...
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');
// Make absolutely sure the cache directory is defined.
if ((empty($cachedir) || !file_exists($cachedir)) && file_exists($boarddir . '/cache'))
$cachedir = $boarddir . '/cache';
// And important includes.
require_once($sourcedir . '/QueryString.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Errors.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Load.php');
require_once($sourcedir . '/Security.php');
// Using an pre-PHP 5.1 version?
if (@version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.1') == -1)
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Compat.php');
// If $maintenance is set specifically to 2, then we're upgrading or something.
if (!empty($maintenance) && $maintenance == 2)
// Create a variable to store some SMF specific functions in.
$smcFunc = array();
// Initate the database connection and define some database functions to use.
// Load the settings from the settings table, and perform operations like optimizing.
// Clean the request variables, add slashes, etc.
$context = array();
// Seed the random generator.
if (empty($modSettings['rand_seed']) || mt_rand(1, 250) == 69)
// Register an error handler.
// Start the session. (assuming it hasn't already been.)
--- End code ---
After my non-SMF page is satisfied that the user is a specific member in the database, I run this code to try and get SMF to acknowledge them as logged in:
--- Code: --- require_once('forum/Sources/Subs-Auth.php');
$user_settings['member_name'] = $confirmed_name;
$user_settings['id_member'] = $confirmed_id;
--- End code ---
This sadly results in being directed to an SMF page displaying the following:
--- Quote ---An Error Has Occurred!
You were unable to login. Please check your cookie settings.
--- End quote ---
I can log in fine the normal way, so I don't think it's an issue with any settings per se, it's clearly my amateur coding that's the problem.
So as I bang my head on the desk crying, I'd really appreciate some advice on how to make SMF just accept that the user is who my own page says they are... :(

By Brad Kava
I thought this reader question would be a new one for the CHP. Boy, was I wrong.
Can a pregnant woman claim her fetus as a passenger?
Says California Highway Patrol spokesman Brad Sadek: HA HA, can't say I haven't answered that question a billion times! The answer is no.
Another reader asks:
What's the rule on school buses? We used to have to stop on either side of traffic, but now I don't see people doing that.
CHP's Bradley Sadek (who just got married, so you can congratulate him below) says:
Section 22454 (a) of the California Vehicle Code is still very much in effect!
It states "The driver of any vehicle, upon meeting from either direction, any school bus that is stopped for the purpose of loading or unloading any schoolchildren and displays a flashing red light signal shall bring the vehicle to a stop immediately before passing the school bus and shall not proceed past the school bus until the flashing red light signal and stop signal arm, if equipped with a stop signal arm, cease operation.
(b) (1) The driver of a vehicle upon a divided highway or multiple-lane highway need not stop upon meeting or passing a school bus that is upon the other roadway.
(2) For the purposes of this subdivision, a multiple-lane highway is any highway that has two or more lanes of travel in each direction.
