The IRS Strategy: Bully Small Business
As a small business owner, does it ever seem like the IRS is constantly looking for ways to make your life more difficult? If so… it's not just your imagination. Over the last several years, the IRS has focused their audit and collection efforts on small business. As RealClearPolitics.com recently reported:
President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney continue to tussle over tax rates and deductions. Ignored, however, have been questions about tax collection and enforcement—tools presidents use to achieve their economic policy goals. Hit a wall ramming your tax hike or cut through Congress, simply increase or decrease tax enforcement and audits.
Under the Obama Administration, the Internal Revenue Service has placed small and medium-size businesses—the engines of job creation—in its auditing crosshairs.
According to IRS statistics, from 2009 to 2011, the coverage rate (number of audits as a percentage of total returns filed) for corporations with assets between $10 million and $50 million has increased 32 percent. The coverage rate for corporations with assets between $50 million and $100 million has increased at the same rate. Some businesspeople file individual returns, and those with incomes higher than $1 million have experience a 94 percent increase in their coverage rate, and a 29 percent increase in the actual number of exams since 2009. Those with incomes $200,000 and higher have seen a 36 percent increase in their coverage rate.
So, has ratcheting up audits on small and medium-size businesses produced more revenue bang for the IRS's buck? Hardly.
Using 2011 IRS data, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University found that audits of a company with assets between $10 and $50 million yielded $702 in recommended additional taxes per hour. For large corporations with assets of $250 million or more, the recommended additional taxes are $9,173 per hour. Yet while the coverage rates of companies with assets between $10 to $50 million are up 32 percent, rates for companies with assets of $250 million or higher are up just 7.4 percent.
In short, for every hour the IRS spends auditing a small or medium business, it would have recouped $8,471 more dollars auditing a large corporation. Nevertheless, the IRS continues to aggressively increase audits on small and medium companies over their larger counterparts.
If you own a small business, this probably is not news to you. The IRS has made a concerted effort to squeeze more revenue out of small businesses over the past several years—and many of you have felt the effects.
But there is good news—if you're stuck in an IRS dispute, we can help. Give us a call and let us deal with the IRS so that you can go back to running your business… and enjoying your life!

Farmingdale Mayor Joseph M. Trudden was recently appointed the Long Island area spokesperson for the New York State funeral industry. Trudden was selected by the New York State Funeral Directors Association (NYSFDA) earlier this month.
At a special meeting of the Board of Education on Wednesday, Nov. 8 at Howitt Middle School, board members presented their plans for full day kindergarten, which is scheduled to begin in the Farmingdale school district in September. Residents, including parents, attended the meeting to voice their concerns.
Coach Bob Thompson's 9-year-old Farmingdale Hawks took first place in the Suffolk Police Athletic League (Atlantic Division).
The CYO St. Kilian Stars ninth-grade girls basketball team, which finished third in its eight-team league during the regular season, won its first round playoff game Sunday afternoon by beating St. Raymond's of East Rockaway, 43-39. This was the third year in a row that these two teams had faced each other in the playoffs. St. Raymond's won two years ago with St. Kilian winning last year. This year's game was played at St. Kilian, as the St. Kilian CYO played host to the first round bracket with five games being played that day.

Andrew Hamblin, 21, pastor of Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tenn., says serpent handling is the closest thing to heaven on earth that you could get.

Should Tennessee continue to ban snake handling in church?
Andrew Hamblin's Facebook page is filled with snippets of his life.
Making a late-night run to Taco Bell.
Watching SpongeBob on the couch with his kids.
Handling rattlesnakes in church.
Hamblin, 21, pastor of Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tenn., is part of a new generation of serpent-handling Christians who are revitalizing a century-old faith tradition in Tennessee.
While older serpent handlers were wary of outsiders, these younger believers welcome visitors and use Facebook to promote their often misunderstood — and illegal — version of Christianity. They want to show the beauty and power of their extreme form of spirituality. And they hope eventually to reverse a state ban on handling snakes in church.

Coverage of Virginia politics and the 2014 election.
Dudenhefer cites daughter's death, urges openness to transportation reform
On most days in this General Assembly session, some delegate takes to the House floor during the "morning hour" to talk about the governor's transportation proposal.
But none have made the argument voiced by Del. Mark Dudenhefer, R-Stafford, today.
Dudenhefer spoke of his daughter, Emily, who was killed in a car accident in 2004.
"I lost the most precious thing in my life to a car accident on a road in Virginia," Dudenhefer said.
"There were no drugs, alcohol that I could be mad at a driver," he said. "It was a young driver, but he was driving on a road in Stafford that had more hills and curves, the lanes were very narrow, and it had at least 10 times the traffic" as it was designed to hold.
His point, Dudenhefer said, was to remind his colleagues that transportation doesn't just mean wider highways, it means safer secondary roads.
"Transportation improvements, not just congestion but road safety, is immensely important for us," Dudenhefer said. "We haven't been investing in our secondary roads, and those are the roads that our kids are driving on."
Dudenhefer said he hasn't decided whether to support Gov. Bob McDonnell's transportation plan specifically. But he urged his colleagues to remain open to some version of it.
He advised them to ""contemplate what our obligations are, and to put aside our differences."
"There's enough in that bill to hate, and there's enough in that bill to love," he added.

This one is a little tricky. The ingredients in your typical Mr. Goodbar contain no gluten, but the parent company of Mr. Goodbar (Hershey) does not list it with their gluten-free products online. This would lead us to believe there may be some cross-contamination issues with their processing/packaging of any Mr. Goodbar candy bars. Please read the ingredient and nutrition label carefully. Need help in understanding what to look for on those labels? We have a guide - check it out!

Beach OKs seeking loan for schools
The Colonial Beach Town Council Thursday night approved taking steps to borrow $2.1 million to pay to move the elementary school students over to the high school, improvements to the high school and other town improvements.
The vote came at a meeting during which nearly two dozen speakers told the Colonial Beach Town Council that they support the school system and want the town to fully fund the school's requested budget.
But something likely not factored into the school budget for next year is the loan to pay to move the elementary school students from Oak Grove Baptist Church to the high school campus, and improvements to the high school.
A fire in January at the former high school left the elementary school in the collapse zone.
The 280 students, along with the staff of the school, moved over to the church for the remainder of the year.
But the town is beginning to make plans for next year.
Improvements to the high school and the cost to move the students would be paid for through a loan from the town.
Instead of a loan for just school improvements, Town Manager Val Foulds brought the council a resolution for the $2.1 million loan.
Of that, $1.1 million would be for school improvements and about $996,400 would be for other facilities and capital needs in the town.
It's estimated to cost about $448,000 to relocate the elementary students to the high school campus and prepare the facilities for them.
Another $700,000 in renovations are planned at the high school. They include adding lights to the football field, lights in the parking lot, replacing doors and toilets and other improvements throughout the school.
Wednesday night, the School Board approved a resolution that transfers the property where the remains of the former high school stands to the Town Council in September. One possibility is that the town will sell the land and use that to pay back part of the loan.
The School Board hopes the elementary students' modular classrooms could be moved to the current high school when classes start in the fall.
For a long-term solution, the School Board will begin exploring ways to build a new elementary school and where to locate it.
But that can't happen until they learn what they will receive from the insurance settlement from the fire.
The resolution approved by the School Board was brought to the Town Council Thursday night.
That was the first time the panel saw the resolution in writing and made a commitment to move forward with the loan.
, when the town manager began seeking financing options from the Virginia Municipal League/Virginia Association of Counties.

text: On February 23, 2001 at 0845 hours mountain standard time, a Schneider Starduster 300 SA300, N1173, sustained substantial damage when it veered to avoid a truck, struck a bush, and came to rest inverted while taking off from Williams Valley Road, near Chino Valley, Arizona. The airplane was operated under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 by a private owner, and flown by an airline transport pilot, who was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight, which was departing at the time of the accident.The pilot was interviewed by National Transportation Safety Board investigators. According to the investigator's record of telephone call, the pilot stated that, on the previous day, he had landed on the road due to a broken throttle linkage. On the morning of the accident, the pilot, airplane owner, and a mechanic returned to repair the linkage. When the repairs were completed, the owner and mechanic cleared the road for takeoff. During the takeoff one of the vehicles drifted into the road. The pilot realized he would be unable to clear the vehicle and veered right to avoid it. The right wing struck a bush on the side of the road, the airplane nosed over, and came to rest inverted.In his written accident report, form 6120.1/2, the pilot reported that a car was driven onto the road, to block traffic, after the aircraft was aligned for takeoff. Because the airplane was tail wheel equipped, the pilot could not see that the car was on the road. Once the takeoff had started, and the tail raised, the engine power began to diminish. An aborted takeoff was attempted, however, to avoid colliding with the car, the pilot steered the airplane off the road. The main landing gear entered a depression and the airplane nosed over. The pilot reported that the reason for the power reduction was not determined.

In the wake of the emergence and rapid development of nanoethics there swiftly followed fundamental criticism: nanoethics was said to have become much too involved with speculative developments and was concerning itself too little with actually pending questions of nanotechnology design and applications. If this diagnosis is true, then large parts of nanoethics are misguided. Such fundamental criticism must surely either result in a radical reorientation of nanoethics or be refuted for good reasons. In this paper, I will examine the critics' central arguments and, building on this scrutiny, formulate an answer to these alternatives. The results lead to conclusions which allow explaining and unfolding the thesis of this paper that instead of speculative nanoethics we should better speak of and develop explorative philosophy of nanotechnology.

The TNInvestco economic program has doled out more than $17 million, created 110 jobs throughout the state and caused multiple companies to relocate to Tennessee, according to the agency's just-released first annual report.
But so far, no new jobs have been created in Southeast Tennessee. Supporters say it's too early to judge the program, which they say is complicated but effective.
Financiers such as Chattanooga-based FourBridges Capital Advisors helped insurers like Unum Corp. to shed themselves of millions in future tax liability by paying into TNInvestco with cash. The cash was then distributed to in-state venture capital firms, which were directed to invest it in early-stage companies.
"The goal of this is to create jobs," said Charlie Brock, partner at FourBridges Capital, which sold about $60 million in tax credits to insurance companies.
The program has helped provide seed funds for nearly 40 Tennessee businesses judged to offer the greatest growth potential. TNInvestco, started under the administration of former Gov. Phil Bredesen, is being reviewed by the new administration of Gov. Bill Haslam as part of a streamlining effort of most state agencies.
During a meeting in Chattanooga this week of the Tennessee Technology Development Corp., the new commissioner of Economic and Community Development for Tennessee — Bill Hagerty — said his office wants to promote new technology startup businesses, but his office must share in the overall 2.5 percent reduction in state spending. Hagerty said investments in venture capital and innovative startup businesses "can be difficult for a politician because the political cycles tend to be much shorter than the return on investments you see from these type of projects."
"I think it's still too early to judge (TNInvestco)," Hagerty said. "Venture capital is one piece of this equation, but we can also do more tech transfer from our universities and labs, and that's what we're looking at right now."
Local Firm signs on with FUND
Chattanooga-based Signix, which has developed a process for signing documents digitally, is the only Chattanooga company to receive funding so far from TNInvestco. The company says the funding helped retain some jobs but hasn't yet added to Signix employment.
"There is a preponderance of heavy Nashville weighting, and over time you would see some improvement in that diversity," said Limestone fund partner Joe Cook III, but he added that firms are looking at each startup's potential, not where it's located.
And though a few of the program's venture capital firms have a Chattanoogan or two on the board, no Chattanooga-based firms applied to participate, according to Mark Drury, assistant commissioner with the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
That's because there weren't any venture capital firms in Chattanooga at the time, said Brock, though he and Belitz subsequently created the Chattanooga Renaissance Fund to co-invest in opportunities across the state.

Some Chattanooga entrepreneurs can't understand why their startups were passed over in favor of the primarily health care-related companies in Nashville that received funding.
Chris Watts, who claims he's already sold $250,000 worth of his popular headlight renewal product from Ringgold, Ga., said a $250,000 investment "would take us from Ringgold to a national marketing campaign."
Though auto mechanics throughout the region have raved about his product in comparison to competitors', larger chains require vendors to have a certain amount of inventory to sign a contract, Watts said.
Ken McElrath, another Chattanooga entrepreneur, invented a product called Skoodat that brings cloud computing to K-12 educators, a radical departure from current, silo-based storage systems that educators use.
He applied for TNInvestco funding through several of the state-appointed venture capital firms and said "we were told initially we were an ideal candidate.
"But we were turned down by all of them," he said.
But Sid Chambless, managing partner at Tennessee Angel Fund, said he and other investors are looking for "explosive growth," and the health care-based entrepreneurs in Nashville and elsewhere were simply better positioned to achieve that.
"I don't think it's fair to say they're getting passed over," Chambless said. "For us to be successful, each one of those deals has to have the potential to generate return for the entire portfolio."
Ken Woody, a partner with Memphis-based Innova, said the company had looked at six to eight Chattanooga firms, and though "we've seen some really bright things from Chattanooga, there's always more demand than there is supply."
Dan Marcum, managing partner for the Nashville venture capital fund Marcum Capital, said only a small share of those applying for TNInvestco funding got it in the past year.
Marcum said other state investment programs, including the Rural Seed Fund and the Technology Maturation Fund, can help provide smaller grants to entrepreneurs with promising ideas.
But Chattanooga-based SecureWaters, which developed the AquaSentinel water sensor with technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, said they were eager for TNInvestco funding since the program was announced, according to company finance director Robert Clark.
Though he's received no TNInvestco funds, out-of-state competitors seem to think his idea is a good one. Several have started marketing exact copies, he said, with one in Chesapeake, Va., even using the same name.
As he waits for funding, he's forced to fight the patent violators in court to protect his intellectual property, he said.
"An investment from TNInvestco would go a long way toward getting us past this stage, and keeping this business in Tennessee," he said.

Originally published: December 16, 2004
Note to my Editors and Producers: Don't come crying to me in April, asking me to come up with great tax-saving ideas for readers and viewers. By April, it's almost too late.
Now December, when you're asking for holiday gift ideas, is really the time to be thinking about next year's taxes. But you'll hate me for spoiling the holiday mood. Nonetheless, I'll file this column in hopes that you'll let me off the hook next spring -- when I'm busy doing my own taxes!
Here's what I'm doing now -- and some year-end planning suggestions for you:
Add to Your 40l(k). If you haven't contributed the maximum possible ($13,000), or at least enough to get your employer's matching contribution, ask the Human Resources department if you can maximize your contribution out of your last paycheck of the year. It won't leave you much money to pay your January bills, but a good part of that money would have gone in taxes anyway. In fact, an additional year-end contribution could lower your tax bracket.
Open a Keogh Plan. A Keogh plan or Individual 401(k) allows you to contribute as much as 25 percent of your self-employment income to a retirement plan -- much more than an Individual Retirement Account. You don't have to make the full contribution by year-end, but you must establish the plan. Check at your bank, broker or major financial services companies such as Fidelity and Schwab.
Balance capital gains and losses. If you invested outside your retirement plan and had capital gains -- a distinct possibility with the S&P at a three-year high -- make sure you take losses to offset your gains. If you have stocks that have lost money this year and that you don't want to hold onto, this is the time to sell them, and record the capital losses against your capital gains. And even if you don't have gains, you can offset $3,000 of capital losses against ordinary income tax.
Evaluate donations. Make charitable contributions before year-end, and be sure to get a receipt. If you're going to donate your car or boat to charity, do it in the next two weeks. Starting in 2004, your deduction for a vehicle or boat is limited to the price the charity gets for selling it.
Plan to defer income. If you have some flexibility, try to postpone income until 2005. You'll still pay taxes on the money, but you'll have the use of the cash for a longer time. So maybe the boss will pay your bonus in January, or postpone your last paycheck until the first week in January. You might also want to accelerate deductions, as in the following examples.
Prepay real estate taxes. Ask your county assessor for your real estate bill, and prepay 2005 property taxes before year-end. This gives you a current deduction. Of course, it also locks you into this strategy on an annual basis -- or you'll miss out on next year's deduction!
Prepay your January mortgage. Just as with your property taxes, you'll want to get the deduction this year -- especially if you think you'll earn less next year. Again, once you start, you'll want to keep using this strategy every year.
Prepay state income taxes. If you itemize your deductions, the state income tax you pay this year can be deducted on your federal return.
Make family financial gifts. You're allowed to give anyone up to $11,000 per year, without impacting your eventual estate tax, if there is an estate tax when you die. So, if you're planning to give gifts to children, family members or anyone else, do it before year-end to take advantage of this year's exemption.
Spend your flexible plan. If you have a company flexible spending plan that allows you to pay for approved medical expenses on a pre-tax basis, make sure you've used up that money for 2004. If you don't use it, you'll lose it. The rules for allowable expenses have been liberalized. Now you can stock up on everything from cough medicine and aspirin to Nicoderm quit-smoking patches. Go to www.drugstore.com for a list of approved over-the-counter medical supplies that qualify for your Flexible Spending plan.
Obviously not everyone can move money around in this manner. You have to have the flexibility and the cash to take advantage of these strategies. But it's worth your time and effort to try to minimize income taxes or at least postpone them.
Maybe one day we'll do away with the income tax completely and substitute a national sales tax. Or maybe we'll do away with deductions and have a flat tax. Would I miss doing this annual year-end tax column? Not at all! And that's The Savage Truth.

Gold Medal Glam
These international Olympians are famous for going all out. Here, they take a rare time-out to talk beauty obsessions, diet secrets, and intense workouts.
By Gina Way
Emily Seebohm, Swimmer (Australia)
Twenty-year-old Seebohm won gold in Beijing and is a record-breaking champion in backstroke and the medley relay. She defeated Natalie Coughlin in the 100-meter backstroke to win gold at the 2010 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, so game on!
Training Schedule: I get up at 4:30 a.m. and train at the pool from 5 to 7:30, then I have breakfast and usually go to a midday sports massage, physiotherapy, or waxing appointment. Three days a week I'll have a strength-training session at the gym, and then I'm back at the pool from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Active R&R: When I'm home in Brisbane, I love to go to the beach. I take my dogs, Thunder and Storm, for walks, and I like to surf. I'm really not out of the water much.
Smart Snacks: I like to have strawberry milk on hand, and I love dried apricots.
Game Day Routine: Wearing a little bit of natural-looking makeup makes me feel comfortable and confident. I put on Napoleon Perdis Waterproof Mascara and a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen.
Off-Duty Essentials: I wear tinted moisturizer by Mecca (an Australian brand), Nars Blush in Orgasm, and a beautiful nude Napoleon Perdis lipstick. For my hair, I always have my curling iron and flatiron with me. I use hairspray to keep my long waves intact and frizz-free.
Skin Saviors: If I've been out or I've had a busy day, I just grab an Olay Makeup Remover wipe and swipe it over my face and go to bed. Because I'm in the pool so much, my skin gets really itchy and dry, so I moisturize as much as I can with Victoria's Secret Endless Love Body Lotion. And in Australia, we have Papaw ointment, which I use as a lip balm—you can also put it on cuts and scrapes or dry skin and cuticles.
Perfume Pick-Me-Up: I really like Dolce & Gabbana The One. Every time I smell it, I'm like, "Ahhh, so good!" It's fresh but sexy.
Smooth Moves: It doesn't do anything to help my athletic performance in the pool, but removing hair obviously looks better and feels smoother. I tried to do laser hair removal, but it hurt, so I went back to waxing under my arms. I shave my legs because that gets them the smoothest.

Spotsylvania man arrested in Mayfield shooting..
Visit the Photo Place
Date published: 9/17/2011
Fredericksburg detectives and federal agents arrested a Spotsylvania County man yesterday in connection with a shooting in Mayfield.
The shooting occurred shortly before 1:45 a.m. last Saturday in the Mayfield section of the city, according to Fredericksburg Police Department spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe.
The victim, a 47-year-old Stafford County man, reported that he and his girlfriend were driving around Mayfield looking for a friend when he was flagged down by a man he didn't know, Bledsoe said.
The victim stopped and got out of his car to talk to the man. An argument ensued, and as the victim was running away he was shot in the back of the thigh, Bledsoe said.
The victim and his girlfriend then drove to the hospital, where he was treated and released, Bledsoe said.
Arrest warrants were obtained Tuesday for Dontae Reon Jackson, 25, of Spotsylvania, but police could not immediately find him.
Jackson was spotted early yesterday morning at the Wawa store at 2390 Plank Road in Fredericksburg, where he was taken into custody, police said.
Jackson is charged with malicious wounding, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and using a firearm during the commission of a felony.
He was being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

For those who yearn to wear capes and powdered wigs while milling around onstage behind opera stars, today is your day. Florida Grand Opera is holding open auditions for supernumeraries -- otherwise known as extras -- for its spring performances of Giuseppe Verdis Rigoletto and Georges Bizets Carmen. We like all body types; any shape, size, age, and color, says Sherrie Dee Brewer, FGOs production stage manager. We like for the community to become more involved with the opera company. Although you dont need experience, it is important for people to have rhythm since we are music-based, Brewer adds. If you are selected, you will be required to attend rehearsals and performances, and will receive a small fee Brewer says is probably enough to cover the gas. Dont fret if you dont make the cut. There will be a huge demand for supers next season, she says. It is a great way for us to break down the wall of what opera is. Auditions take place today from 2:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the Opera Guild Building. Call 305-854-1643, or visit www.fgo.org.

A brand new event benefiting area high school golf teams will tee off at TPC at Valencia February 27 and 28. The inaugural Newhall Land Cup is expected to feature two days of outstanding and intense play by the boys Varsity golf teams from Hart, Saugus, Canyon and Valencia High Schools; Golden Valley and West Ranch High Schools have also been invited to field players. And after 36 holes of medal/stroke play at Tournament Players Club Valencia one of the teams will emerge victorious to take home the Newhall Land Cup. Each participating school will receive a cash contribution toward their team. Newhall Land, community planners of Valencia and the future hometown of Newhall Ranch, is title sponsor of the tournament.
Newhall Land President Greg McWilliams conceived the first-ever tournament to showcase the talent of local of high school golfers in the first –class setting provided by the two-year old Valencia course. "These young men are tremendous athletes who are passionate about the game of golf and who dedicate themselves to honing their skills. What better reward for that hard work than to compete with their peers, cheered on by family and friends, on one of the most beautiful courses in the state." Girls' teams will take to the greens to battle it out in October during their season of competition. Future tournaments will expand to include varsity teams from the valley's two newer high schools.
The first-ever event will get a champions kick off on February 26, when players, coaches, parents, and golf fans gather for an evening reception at the Oaks Grill in the TPC Clubhouse. The next day, will see each school pitting their best players against one another, and the challenging course, which is the signature attraction of the Valencia village of Westridge. Built into the rolling, oak-studded hills west of Interstate 5, TPC at Valencia presents a true test for the avid golfer, with highs and lows of the game played out amid rolling terrain, serene open areas and city view terraces. It also the only TPC course in California.
Each team features five players. The four lowest individual scores from each team will used to calculate the team's overall score. A second trophy will be awarded for best individual score.

Written by Matthew A. Piacentini Friday, 02 October 2009 00:00
"More than 60 years after Levittown, Nassau County has stopped growing. We are suburban sprawled and there is nowhere else to go. We're seeing an exodus of young people - a brain drain of our next generation, we pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, our roads are choked with traffic, and pockets of poverty are putting a strain on our economy. We must address these problems," said Suozzi. "We can do that and still preserve what we love most about living in Nassau County. We have great schools, parks and open spaces, beautiful North Shore waterfronts and South Shore beaches, low crime, and low unemployment, all within a stone's throw of New York City. New Suburbia won't change any of that."
A video, presentation and panel discussion dealt with the specifics of how, under the New Suburbia plan, 90 percent of Nassau County would remain as single-family neighborhoods, parks and open space while the remaining 10 percent, comprised of 18 downtowns, four mega projects and the reuse of underperforming malls, would be re-imagined to create vibrant, attractive downtowns, with shops, restaurants, businesses, parks, and housing all within easy access to public transportation and major new redevelopment at the mega projects sites.
The message was that major changes had to be made within Nassau in order for the county to move in a positive direction. "The 90/10 Solution for New Suburbia will re-direct development away from single-family neighborhoods and reduce development pressure on greenfields, protecting our remaining open space. It will re-imagine suburbia so that Nassau County can remain competitive in the 21st century," said Suozzi.
He made comparisons between the situation in Nassau versus that in other places like Suffolk County and the Hudson Valley. He said that in recent years, a clear trend has emerged in which these other places, with more open space and friendlier attitudes to development, are gaining young people, industry and sales tax. The presentation showed that in recent years Suffolk has surpassed Nassau by $165 million in tax revenue.
"If I had $165 million, I would have paid you all to come here today," joked Suozzi.
The presentation began in a positive light, encouraging smart moves to create a bright future, but some on the panel were cautionary in their take on things.
"This is an urgent crisis," said John Cameron, chair of the Long Island Regional Planning Board. "Anyone who doesn't think so is either not paying attention or in denial. We are at a crossroads where we either deal with the issue or it's game over. We are not sustainable without change."
Joining Mr. Cameron on the panel were Patrick Duggan, Nassau County deputy county executive for economic development; Patricia Bourne, executive director, Nassau County Planning Commission; Michael Dowling, CEO of North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System; Robert Scott, president of Adelphi University; Stu Rabinowitz, president of Hofstra University; Eric Alexander, executive director of Vision Long Island; Sarah Lansdale, executive director of Sustainable Long Island. These people represented the various points of view from different segments of the county who will work on the 90/10 Coalition. The Coalition currently includes more than 65 organizations representing 90 members.
"This unique group of dynamic leaders will help to shape the future of Nassau County," said Suozzi. "I've said before that 'it takes teamwork to make the dream work,' and the members of 90/10 Coalition will work together and use their collective expertise, knowledge, and experience to make New Suburbia a reality. I look forward to working with the Coalition."

Wood House in Rockridge
- o
- OakTownHound Feb 8, 2007 12:21 PM
Wood House, the new restaurant in Grasshopper's former location (College Ave. and Alcatraz), is set to open this Saturday, according to a note on the front door. No menu is posted yet.
I won't make it there this weekend, but hopefully some hounds will check it out and report back.
re: JasmineG
I think open every day for lunch, and 6 nights a week for dinner -- but I could be wrong.
re: Lori SF
Exact address. Website doesn't work yet.
6317 College Avenue
Oakland, CA 94620
(510) 654-6607
Wood House is way cool and the food is good too. I had one each of their paninis and both the mushroom and the prosciutto fillings were perfect. The salad and homemade crunchy pickles also helped.The atmosphere is especially nice, a bistro with warmth ( flowing from the owners and staff) and a serene, low key color scheme. Not too noisy even during the crowded lunchtime. I hope they flourish as they serve the best new food on the College Avenue corridor.
re: kate kline may
Sounds good, I'm always looking for a great panini. What are the prices like for lunch? Any indication of where they source their meat?
re: Morton the Mousse
Went for lunch today -- prices for lunch are pretty reasonable, the pressed sandwich was $9 (for lunch it had goat cheese and proscuitto), the burger was $10, and that was about average. They have Fra'mani salami and Niman Ranch meat, but there was nothing on the menu about where the rest of their meat is sourced. I'm still a little unclear on the name -- the sign outside said Wood House, but all of the menus said Wood Tavern, so I think they might have switched names between putting the sign outside and opening. Very inviting interior, and very friendly service. I had the pressed sandwich, and it was good, although it was a little difficult to eat. The fries were fantastic.
This place is a welcome addition to the area -- a perfect place for lunch, dinner, and even a drink if you're tired of the Graduate ;)
I had the dungeness crab and prosciutto salad, which was terrific and just hearty enough. Which is kind of how I feel about the whole place.
Yeah, the Grad! I used to live staggering distance away and met my now fiance when he tended bar there (about 9 years ago). It's a little more studenty and a little less blown out these days, sadly.
Ate at Wood House last Monday evening and it's a great change from Grasshopper at the same location. The food was magnificent BUT two of us ordered the lemon cream puffs, which are always recommended in reviews. They were terrible - the pate choux like cardboard with hardly any lemon cream inside. My recommendation - order anything on the menua but the lemon cream puffs!
re: Kalena
Did you eat them anyway? If not, did they ask?
re: Robert Lauriston
Yes, we ate them (there were only two and they were small) and I wanted to e-mail the restaurant to tell them but their website still isn't up!
We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. They stop serving at 5 p.m., which seems wierd to me. Ordered the burger with mushrooms and swiss, and the chicken cheddar BBQ sandwich. They did not have any regular mushrooms, but happily threw on a portobello for us. The sandwiches come on a roll, which I don't like, so they substituted a hamburger roll for me. DH liked the shoestring fries, my slaw was dry and too herbal. They only have 4 beers on tap so far, so we both had hefeweizen. The food was good, not great, and seemed spendy for a neighborhood place. The menu was also limited, but that may be a function of Sunday afternoon.
I ate dinner there during the first week they were open and found the staff to be extremely friendly and accomodating. The shoestring fries were too salty - I told them and they whisked them away and brought more that were great! The burger was Nieman Ranch and quite tasty. I wasn't as hot on the warm chocolate cake - I prefer one that isn't quite so sweet...
re: westiegrrl
You can get a great chocolate cake that's not too sweet at Sketch Ice Cream in Berkeley. It's not warm, but it's delicious.

|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin is effective in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients as a supplement to the main disease-modifying drugs.
|Detailed Description
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune chronic demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, and the major cause of disability in the youngsters all over the world, still with no definitely known etiology and treatment. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by pineal gland famous for its role in circadian rhythm regulation, and with known antioxidant effects. It was shown that melatonin is lower in multiple sclerosis patients in the relapse phase in comparison to other diseases and is correlated with the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite score of the patients. Melatonin is also suggested to have an immunomodulatory role. Therefore, we hypothesize that melatonin can be effective in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients.

A "Mobile Payments" Election in Our Future?
By Tom Wheeler
Just two weeks before Americans go to the polls the mobile payments venture of AT&T, TMobile, and Verizon launched in Salt Lake City and Austin. Today Isis is about shopping; before long the technology it and other mobile payment platforms are adopting could reshape the democratic process.
At the heart of all the near field communications (NFC) platforms is a SIM card with a secure element that verifies the user. The secure element expands the SIM's normal authentication and authorization with higher-grade smartcard-like verification.
Right now, everyone is talking about the "mobile wallet." At this point it looks like a jump ball with multiple parties maneuvering for position. In addition to the U.S. carriers in the Isis consortium, GSM carriers throughout the world are mounting their own NFC push. The action is not limited to mobile operators, however; retailers Walmart, Target, Best Buy and CVS have joined the fray with their own MCX consortium. Visa and MasterCard both have their own initiative. And, of course, the highly-valued start-up Square, as well as PayPal, Google and Apple all have their own solution.
As if this isn't enough confusion under the jump ball, there is a Cold War between mobile operators and Google's Android and Apple's iOS regarding who provides gateway and mobile transaction services. Carriers want their hardware SIM to control; Google and Apple want a software-based SIM that gives them the leverage. This is no small faceoff since whoever owns the SIM also owns the customer relationship.
It will be a while before all these competing forces are resolved and there is stability in the mobile wallet world. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, however, all this activity means there will be a major push to get secure SIMs into the market. That is when really interesting other things will begin to happen.
Repeatedly, mobile applications intended for one purpose have morphed into non-obvious user-driven applications. What began as a 25-pound car phone in the trunk morphed to replace landlines and connect more citizens of the planet than any network in history. What began as a control channel Short Messaging Service for network engineers was discovered by consumers who now send billions of text messages daily. What began as a secure mobile payments platform will no doubt follow a similar path into new, non-obvious applications.
Korean mobile operators, for instance, have become the agent to secure the government's database of all citizens. Since Internet activity in Korea requires the user to input their national ID number, those numbers were ending up in Website databases. After one of those databases was hacked in 2011 the government and carriers developed an improved process. When a mobile user registers with their ID number the phone number is automatically matched with the registered user's SIM and sends back a one-time PIN via SMS. The user then inputs the PIN to confirm their identity. In essence, the carriers have become the administrative authority that prevents hacking and keeps valuable personal information off of Websites.
In Estonia the same kind of SIM and PIN made that country the first in the world where it is possible to vote via mobile phone in national elections. Online voting using the national identity card's chip and a special PIN had been available since the local elections of 2005. In 2011, however, that was extended to mobile devices. In that election 24.3 percent of the electorate voted electronically without going to the polls. The Republic of Moldova is reportedly about to roll out the same mobile voting capability for its citizens. In Brazil two weeks ago voters in Rio de Janeiro's municipal election cast ballots by secure mobile phones.
Mobile voting in municipal elections or small countries (Estonia has 1.3 million population, Moldova 3.3 million) is one thing; the expansion into a nation of 300 million would be another challenge. The absence of a national ID card, like in Korea, Estonia and Moldova, is also an issue. Secure mobile devices, however, just might provide the pathway to a solution. When passports, credit cards, and other personal-identification functions use secure chips that are verified by a hard line connection, the extension into mobile devices can't be too big a stretch.
This election in the U.S. has seen state legislatures enacting restrictive voting rules allegedly for the purpose of stopping hypothetical voter fraud. The ultimate anti-vote fraud measure may be coming to everyone's pocket and purse. If a secure chip is good enough to verify our citizenship at passport control it should be good enough to authorize the democratic right of citizenship. If mobile wallet security is good enough to be used for secure financial transactions it should also be capable of providing secure electoral transactions.

Reviews about Red Hot Chili Peppers albums
Overcoming | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the album Californication performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I love this record. It came out when i was around 16, a while after the death of my father. The tracks & lyrics perfectly captured my feelings at the time of loneliness, regret, to depression and thoughts of suicide. I came out the other side a stronger man for it. RHCP Will always be my favourite band.
So Emotional | Reviewer: Rob In Houston------ About the album By The Way performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The combination of this album and Three Days Grace's One-X helped me make it through one of the hardest parts of my life - going through a painful divorce while deployed to Baghdad, Iraq.
My ex-wife died a few days ago at 31-years-old and I've had this album on constant rotation since then trying to convince it to help me through again.
emotional range is terrifying | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the album By The Way performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Love this album!Don't Forget Me;Can't Stop;these songs helped me discover what my problem was and to accept the sickest side of my willingness . A lot of emotional music that had to come from their hearts. This album didn't seem to do as well in the states as it could have,however Live @ Slane Castle showed how loved and revered as a band RHCP is in my heart.The Zephyr song (and video)rocked !Dosed and Venice Queen made me bawl my eyes out. Is that what they were going for??
Fan For Life!
MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM IN HISTORY | Reviewer: Rich------ About the album One Hot Minute performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
It stiffed in sales, but features some of the most personal reflections from all concerned. It is also up there with the greatest monster 'foot on the foldback' 'death in the mosh-pit' 'hey, take the time and get the lyrics motherfucker' epics, if not No.1. Dave didn't work out, but what he did was co-conspire on one of the most musically adept, risk-taking, meaningful, deep and powerful contributions to modern rock the world has ever been graced. Don't believe me? Get it on, crank it, and behold the Chili's most awe-inspiring opus.
MP CALIFORNICATION | Reviewer: MP------ About the album Californication performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I agree that rhcp are great,but sometimes they do seem too hard to listren. I can really hear the chaos-mess that my ears are not able to stand sometimes.I listen to them since I was about 7 years old believe it or not!I love them they are a part of my childhood!I said all this because I want them to be the best!I haven;t heard about them a long time.I heard that they have somthing new,a new album I mean.Californication is great,I can;t say otherwise.Who am I to say anything they are great!!!!THEY JUST NEED TO HAVE A BETTTER TONE A CLEAR SOUND A CRYSTAL SOUND SO WE ALL COULD INJOY IN THAT SUPER MUSIC THEY MAKE!I HOPE THAY THEY NEVER GET BORED!
Great Music but Too Loud! | Reviewer: Adam Lewis------ About the album Californication performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Great songs on this album, however the noise war is apparent on this CD as clipping is all over this CD, even on the singles. I wish the producer/mixer didnt care so much about volume because there is so much normalizing here, its not even funny.
Otherside has one of the best guitar solos!
eheh?eh! | Reviewer: Hillel------ About the album By The Way performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
this is a good album, no doubt. most of the beats are solid, good guitar work, but there's probs.
the bass is overpowered, so much so that you can barely hear it some times.
half the album is good, then the rest is kinda like WTF kinda transition was that. none of the songs are terrible, but there's only a few keepers
Buy this album if you don't have it. | Reviewer: Megan Imholt------ About the album By The Way performed by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This album is amazing. It's so gooood! Anyone could enjoy it =). There's really nothing more to say!

A taste of Bisqit
Posted 5 August 2013
They say that a man's best friend is a dog and that a designer's best friend is their sketchbook. They also come in pretty handy for us client services folk too.
Through the years us Bisqits have been through our fair share of notebooks, sketchpads and on occasion napkins, when desperately trying to scribble down an idea. So we decided to create something to house our lists, sketches, headlines, doodles and figures.
Nick took the project on, with his main focus on creating something practical for the studio whilst demonstrating snippets of how his peers' minds tick.
Throwing the question, 'How do you find a good idea?', to the studio he got everyone to share their own personal way of finding an idea. From riding to work, to playing with Lego, we each documented how, as a studio of designers, account handlers and thinkers, we find inspiration.
Comprising a combination of artworks, handy design terminology and some fun facts thrown in for good measure, we have created something that we are all very proud of.
So if you see us with our heads buried in one of these little gems please do not disturb as we are hard at work, unless of course it's to offer us a beloved Jammy D and a cup of tea.

More than 13 million Americans suffer from incontinence. Many people can be cured by non-surgical, painless treatment that allows them to regain control of their bladders.
Paradise Valley Hospital offers specialized treatment for incontinence. Our staff has received extensive training in this area and has received great results in the treatment of the following conditions:
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence:
An involuntary loss of urine that is sufficient to be a social or hygienic problem. UI can be caused by factors affecting either the anatomy or the physiology of the lower urinary tract, or both, as well as other factors. Urinary incontinence can effect up to 25% of women in the reproductive age group to as high as 30 to 50% of women in the postmenopausal age group. Symptoms include incontinence, dribbling, frequency, and urgency. To a significant degree, these problems reflect changes with the aging of the genitourinary system, including relaxation of the pelvic floor.
Stress Incontinence:
Involuntary loss of urine during physical exertion; ie cough, sneeze, lift or laugh. Stress incontinence is often caused by weakness of the pelvic floor muscles, which usually occurs as a result of pregnancy, aging, disuse, surgery or trauma.
Urge Incontinence:
Symptom of urine loss that occurs with a strong desire to urinate (urgency) with a few seconds to minutes warning. The bladder is unstable and overactive when it shouldn't be.
Non-Surgical Treatment for Bladder Control
Physical therapists, working with gynecologists and urologists, have developed a very effective treatment program for incontinence called Behavioral Techniques. Paradise Valley Hospital's program uses Behavioral Techniques methods for treating incontinence. Behavioral Techniques involve education, awareness, bladder retraining, and the proper retraining of the muscles that control urination. In almost all cases, the degree of incontinence can be improved, often cured, and the discomfort of surgery avoided.
In addition to Urinary Incontinence, our staff also has expertise in treatment in the following Women's Health areas:
Pelvic Pain Disorders
Obstetrical Dysfunction
