About two out of three people summoned for jury duty each year in South Florida don't show up. Although some are exempt, tens of thousands simply brush it off.
And while skipping jury duty is against the law, few are punished because court staffers say the process would be too costly and time consuming.


text: The pilot-in-command (PIC) of the tailwheel airplane stated that he was flying from his private airstrip, with a friend who was also a pilot. The friend did not have much experience in tailwheel airplanes and had not flown the airplane from the airstrip. The PIC was in the front seat and his friend was in the rear seat. The PIC completed two takeoffs and landings uneventfully, and then let his friend perform the third takeoff.. During the takeoff roll, as the tailwheel lifted, the airplane yawed to the left. The PIC then took the controls and attempted to correct the yaw; however, the airplane traveled off the left side of the runway and impacted trees, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing. The PIC reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane and added that the wind was light and variable at the time. The PIC stated that he should have taken control of the airplane sooner.

I started out using iPhoto, it suited my needs when I was just having fun taking photos of my friends in college. When I started to get a little more serious about photography and bought my first DSLR, I realized that iPhoto just wasn't cutting it, so I asked my husband to get me Aperture for my birthday. Aperture suited me well for a while and I still do have it on my computer and use it occasionally, but I realized that I just liked the workflow of Lightroom better.
I'm a huge fan of using presets in Lightroom. I like being able to have visual consistency in my photos if I'm editing a bunch from a trip or outing. Sometimes one preset doesn't always do the job correctly, so I'll adjust the preset slightly using the sliders in Lightroom to keep the images looking similar enough to one another. They can be a great starting point, if you're unsure of where to take your editing.
I created 3 Lightroom presets for my photos, that I think work really well for daylight photography and I've decided to share them here with you today!
The first preset is called Bright Warmth. I felt like it was perfect for a nice sunny day (which most days seem to be when you're in Disney) and you want to add a little warmth to the photo.
Next is Bright Warmth Partial Shade. This was meant to help brighten up a foreground subject that might be a little too dark because they're standing slightly in the shade.
The last is Bright Warmth Full Shade. Use this one if your subject is really dark, because they're in a completely shaded area or let's be honest, you forgot to turn on your flash or your settings were wrong (I'm pretty sure this happens to the best of us once in a while).
As a bonus, I also threw in an extra iPhone preset, because I like editing my iPhone photos in Lightroom (I've even printed some and can't tell the difference most of the time).
You can download the presets here. We'd love to see some before and afters using them, so don't forget to share them with us by either linking them in the comments or sharing them in our Flickr group pool! I hope they're helpful!
To install the presets:
Just double click on the preset and open it in Lightroom! It should save it under "User Presets". You can change the location and make a new folder (Develop –> New Preset Folder) once it's installed. Easy peasy.
Edited to add:
If this doesn't work for adding the presets, you can manually add them to your preset library by going to:
Library –> Applications Support –> Adobe –> Lightroom –> Develop Presets
Then just drop them in this folder and they should show up under User Presets!

Pam is a pretty terrific teacher and I would love to take one of her classes in person one day. The video is a decent substitute, although I am feeling the same way as Dina- I am wishing for a PDF download with the mask outline. All-in-all, it was still worthwhile without the "cheatsheet"

I really enjoyed this class. Pam did a great job of breaking down the steps. I do wish it had come with one of the stencils, but otherwise it is a great class.

Pam Carriker is one of my favorite instructors. She explains everything well, and her demonstrations are very well done. While she is creating a page in her journal you can easily see how these techniques fit into wall art and collages as well. I recommend this video.

I recommend buying: excellent video quality, Pam Carriker is (
as always) an excellent teacher - detailed instructions, no time wasting, a lot of tips and tricks (masking, color mixing...)...a pure pleasure to watch how she creates a page in Art Journal (and face - sketching and painting) with limited art supplies...

November 26, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - A man accused of firing the shot that killed a New York City police officer during a robbery gone wrong has been found guilty of second-degree murder.
The verdict for Lamont Pride was issued Monday in Brooklyn. He was found not guilty of the most serious charge, alleging he intentionally killed the officer.
Prosecutors say Pride and four others plotted to rob a drug dealer on Dec. 12, 2011, but were interrupted when police were called.
Officer Peter Figoski and his partner were acting as backup when they went inside the basement apartment.
Pride admitted he had a gun but said he didn't mean to shoot anyone.
A second jury is still hearing the case of defendant Michael Velez. He's accused of driving the getaway car.

Guess what?!?! After repeated insults about our website we have finally added some pictures! This has a lot more to do with us finally locating our camera charger and a lot less to do with the disparaging remarks about our web design, but hey – results!
I'm a really big fan of an overly-simplified home page so I've moved the pictures into their own page. You can access them at the link to the right. Shockingly, it's the one that says pictures. We'll try to keep them updated every couple of days, barring the loss of our camera charger again.
There are currently only a couple of photos up. This morning we had Jesse and Dylan doing an overhead carry with some pull-ups. I didn't get any pain face I-just-want-this-to-be-over-before-I-embarrass-myself-by-curling-up-into-a-little-ball-and-crying-myself-unconscious looks on film (like I usually make when working out), but you can see the inside and outside of our facilities from these photos.
Please let us know if you are coming to class by SIGNING UP! Otherwise you can go run 5 laps around the block while our attack dog Blue chases you.

New York Times Crosswords for PlayBook gets $599.99 price tagby Kal Chebli
12 October 2011 One Comment
A couple of hours ago I found New York Times Crosswords for the BlackBerry PlayBook with a price tag higher than expected. Based on the description, you get a free week of crosswords then you can add 1 month, 6months or 1 year of access. The price shown is $599.99, and does not show any trial available as it displays "purchase" solely. It doesn't seem right at all, especially since the app is coming fro Magmic. I'm sure we'll see the price get updated in the next few hours.

oh god, why did the Body Shop discontinued this product!! I love the sweet lemon smell and the thick lather. really enjoyed using this but no longer available in Australia! : (
This is one of my fav shower gels somebody gave it to me some time ago it was the small one that was 60 ml after using itifell in love with the smell its citrusy refreshing and it smells just like the lemon and honey drink my mom would make for me every single day.one tip to know if its drying out your skin is to feel if after using a cleanser your skin feels tight that means it is drying out your skin it has quite a lot of lather if you use a loofah / bath lily even though it is soap free i absoulutely love it!
Thanks for reading my review bye!
Yum, this is the perfect lemon-scented shower gel! It's fresh and zesty, with a slight sweetness that keeps it from smelling like Mr. Clean. When used with a shower puff only a small dollop is needed to create a plethora of bubbles. As of current the Sweet Lemon line is at 50% off and I'm worried that this will be discontinued... I'd better stock up!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was really surprised by the smell of this. Lemony body products tend to remind me of house cleaning supplies, but this smells great! The scent smells like zesty lemon peel, and is really refreshing, it also has a tiny hint of sweetness to it which is really nice. The scent does not linger on your skin, which is a great plus for me.
The shower gels I've tested from The Body Shop does not dry out my skin, and they last a really long time because you don't really need a lot of product. It is nice and foamy, even though it's soap free.
I'm not really a fan of the packaging, but it works. I got my regular sized bottle on sale, for the price of the travel size, but the full price is still not really intimidating. You can check out the scents in store, and if you don't like this one you're bound to find another scent that works for you!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got a small size(20-30ml) as a gift and have to say i hate the smell. It reminds me of a dishwashing liquid! Luckily it's only small and my boyfriend likes the smell so it's not a problem to use it. I could take this on a trip with me but would never ever pay anything from this. Apart from the smell, this gel is really nice. Foams nicely and doesn't dry out skin too much.
I loooove this shower gel. I am a lemon fanatic and I really like this formula because it is lemony but doesn't smell like a cleaning product; there's a tinge of sweetness to it that makes it really nice. It doesn't produce a huge amount of suds but foams up pretty nicely with a loofah. I bought the kind in the pump, which I really like, it is very easy to pump onto a sponge or loofah. I suppose it wouldn't be great for travel, but I have a small bottle of different shower gel I use for travel. I think it's a great product if you like lemony/citrusy scents -- it's especially great on a hot day or after the gym. I will definitely repurchase!
This is now my favorite shower gel! I LOVE lemon-scented bath-products and I picked this up on a whim when I went in to purchase some Banana s&c. It smells GREAT and is a wonderful shower gel. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling soft. I like this even better than the Satsuma, which was my previous fave.
I would only buy this again if I can't find a better citrus scented product. I like citrus shower products and they took Satsuma away from me, and most lemony products smell like dishwashing liquid. Yuk! The sweetness in this saves it from smelling like a cleaning product. It cleans, but there's nothing natural or good for your skin about it. It just smells awakening and is a bit too pricey.
More reviews by bedheadmelissa
I enjoy citrus body products from time to time, but its always hard to find the right smell-I don't really want to smell like Pledge (a home cleaning product). The new Sweet Lemon line just came to my local Body Shop and I really loved how it smelled (except for the body butter which sadly had a floral note, which took away from the sweet, tart, lemonade like smell). I was also concerned about my skin not liking the strong lemon scent but I've had no problems. I actually prefer this to Bliss Lemon and Sage. It's got a sweeter note and less strong. This is also a fantastic shower gel for after working out-it makes me feel so fresh and clean.

Created for RSC #11. Creamy pasta in a luscious wine sauce, with grilled chicken pieces and flavors of shallots, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and tarragon. During the final stage Asiago cheese is added to bring it all together, and make this a dish to remember. Serve in large bowls, so you can get lots of sauce for dipping your bread into. May I suggest a nice crusty Italian or French bread, and a nice white wine to accompany this lovely dinner? I used dry Marsala wine for this dish. I also used a George Foreman grill to do the chicken. It is fine to use whole wheat pasta.

The Reconstruction
The Transmodern Festival finally sees its ideas coming to fruition
When the Transmodern Festival was started in 2003, its founders imagined that it would be cross-disciplinary, multi-genre, and, above all, devoted to performance pieces that challenge the steep walls that separate audiences from artists. Now, six years and five festivals later, the curators/organizers behind the festival feel that their 2003 vision is finally starting to be realized. The odd mix of artists and academics that make up the small, active, national performance community have flocked to the festival, now one of the largest in the United States. Catherine Pancake, a documentary filmmaker and a co-founder of the festival, said that the first festival was just a "proof of concept" for what followed.
"What was in my mind in 2003 is actually happening now," she says in her Seton Hill home, where the curators have gathered to discuss this year's festival. "It's much more immersive, with many more artists and sensory experiences. It's taken on a life of its own."
The Transmodern Festival has also managed to confuse and integrate the arts in Baltimore. Painters become actors and performers become artists over a four-day festival that runs like an exercise in organized chaos. With mixed-media and platform artist collectives and event spaces such as Wham City and Floristree, it appears that the Baltimore arts community is now only an outgrowth of the spaces "activated," as the collective members claim, by the festival.
In the first year, Pancake says, the festival drew about 75 people per night. Last year, more than 600 people participated in the festival, with even more expected this year. Despite the festival's rapid growth rate, the organizers have been able to keep up by turning many of the artists into curators, or organizers, of their own nights and spaces.
"We used a festival model at the beginning, with a set group of artists and an organizing body," says Bonnie Jones, who co-founded the festival with Pancake and Jackie Milad. "What I started to realize in thinking more about this year is that the festival has grown outside that model."
Laure Drogoul, an interdisciplinary artist who participated in the first two festivals, says that Transmodern's use of multiple locations--this year, events are at the Load of Fun Studios and the H&H Building--allows it to transform its environment. "It's nomadic," says Drogoul, who is again curating the free Pedestrian Service Exquisite, held outside of the H&H Building on Sunday afternoon. "It moves from one part of town to another part of town. It's exciting because you activate one space in town and move and activate another space. That's very transmodern."
Transmodernism, according to the festival's organizers, is an organizing principle for art and life that resists the nihilism of post-modernism and the strictures of modernism. As Jones puts it in a statement made in 2003, "transmodernists are looking forward to another future where people (with their identities intact) effect global change and create brave new art."
"The festival wasn't built to prove a particular historical concept," Jones says. "It's a new idea about the ways art and community work together. The name has caught up to the festival and the festival has caught up to the name."
Pancake and Drogoul echo Jones' sentiments, noting that they are as concerned about assembling spaces as they are about programming particular events. "We create this ecology and get everyone to work in it together," Pancake says. "Some people are really excited about that, artists who are by nature multi-disciplinary."
While the festival organizers say that they initially had to push artists to do more experimental, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary work, now the artists come to them with ideas. "One of our curators [Ric Royer] was tentatively putting together a show that had more theater-based works," Jones says. "The artists said that they wanted to involve the audience."
Even though the festival is one of the newest established festivals on the Baltimore calendar, the artists it presents are far more familiar now, thanks to the popularity of performance on YouTube and other sites, than they were in 2003. If the artists are becoming curators of the event, the audience members are increasingly both the participants and documenters of what goes on. "We ask people to officially document the event for us," Pancake says, adding that some of the best documentation shows up on Flickr and YouTube pages after the festival is over. "It's going to be a little more mishmash [this year]."
While some performance artists are resistant to recording--they sometimes rely on the sales of documentation of the work to make a living--the organizers suggested that the documentation can become part of the event itself. "The smaller the distance between the event and the documentation the better," Drogoul says.
Increased documentation may even make the event more unique, Pancake suggests. "As people become more wired and spend more time on devices, this event will be more rarified," she says.
Already, the organizers are excited, if a bit wary, of what will likely be the biggest draw of the weekend, a Saturday evening performance of Dan Deacon's new album, Bromst. Other Saturday highlights include the Freddy McGuire Show, featuring the video artist Anne McGuire, and a new installation, "Ball Movement 09, Baltimore Cup" curated by Michael Benevento, the co-director of the Current Gallery. (City Paper contributor Emily C-D and art director Joe MacLeod are each involved in Thursday night projects.)
Several of the installation pieces take place over several days at the festival, and throughout the festival there will be roaming performers. The unpredictability of what will happen on any given night is precisely the point.
As part of its desire for inclusivity, the organizers say the festival is constantly looking for women and minority artists, who have been historically underrepresented in the arts. But unlike pluralists who see the inclusion of these artists as merely a social good, Pancake offers another rationale for including these voices. "We see women, or a certain ethnic group as an economy that's not been tapped," she says. "There is a heavy focus on feminism and multiculturalism. We want to get everything we can out of these marginalized economies."
For example, Pancake says that the festival this year includes Ami Dang, an multimedia artist whose work is informed by Sikh spirituality and performance. Next year, Pancake plans on bringing in an artist who will create a mobile arts center, complete with a marching band.
One of the things that sets the Transmodern Festival apart from other arts festivals is its expectation that the works presented will be received in many different ways, with varying degrees of participation and understanding, by those who attend. "We try to balance the more conceptual work with the pieces that are more spectacular," Pancake says.
"You have a million different points of access," Jones says. "It's like a perfume."
"Or a recipe," Drogoul breaks in.
"Or a fine scotch," Jones says.

text: Boyd Leaves Bethel AME for FAME; Bethel Rejects New Pastor By abhatPosted November 20, 2012 11:53 am The Rev. J. Edgar Boyd delivered his inaugural sermon Sunday as the new pastor of First African Methodist Episcopal Church in L.A., seeking to unite and heal a congregation that had become fractured over the troubles of its former leader. Photo by Katie Falkenberg, Los Angeles Times. By Lee Hubbard Pastor J. Edgar Boyd, the longstanding pastor at Bethel AME Church in San Francisco, has been reassigned to First AME Church in Los Angeles, where he has been pastor at the historic church for the last two weeks. Boyd led Bethel AME over the past 20 years, leading the church through the new millennium as the church just celebrated 160 years of existence. As pastor at the largest AME church in San Francisco, he helped increase church assets from $12 million to more than $80 million. He also helped to expand membership to 1,000 congregants at a time when the African American population in the Western Addition has been dwindling. "My time at Bethel was one of enlightenment and enhancement," said Pastor Boyd in a phone interview. "The church … helped me to see what life was like for the African American community in San Francisco. Bethel has been a leading religious institution, and the church has been able to focus and adjust to the changes taking place in San Francisco." Boyd said Bethel has had a deep cultural impact on San Francisco and the African American community. Now at First AME in Los Angeles, Boyd is the pastor of a church that is 142 years old and one of the more influential Black churches in Los Angeles. "At FAME, it's a huge challenge," said Pastor Boyd. "There is so much to be done in the community around the church in South Central Los Angeles." Boyd is no stranger to Los Angeles. He led Bethel AME Los Angeles in the early 1990s before moving to San Francisco. FAME's former Pastor John J. Hunter has been assigned to pastor at Bethel AME in San Francisco, but his assignment is on hold. Rev. Boyd declined to comment on the shuffling of the pastors. Steward Board members of Bethel AME San Francisco have rejected Hunter's assignment, based on news of his past actions at FAME L.A. Hunter was appointed pastor at FAME in Los Angeles in 2004, which was the Los Angeles epicenter of African American political and social activism under the Rev. Cecil L. "Chip" Murray. Hunter had big shoes to fill, but over time he became embroiled in a sexual harassment lawsuit, a federal tax investigation and allegations of questionable use of church credit cards. News of Hunter's arrival into San Francisco caused the Board of Stewards, which oversees some of the churches finances, to send a letter to AME Fifth District Bishop Kirkland questioning Hunter's assignment to Bethel AME. Some church members met Hunter on a Saturday night when he came to San Francisco, presenting him with a letter questioning his assignment. He stated he was going "back to L.A." But the next day, Sunday morning, he showed up at Bethel and tried to walk through the church: He was met by church members who demanded he show his assignment papers. Hunter did not have his papers, and he left the church. As a result of the Board of Stewards letter sent to Bishop Kirkland, he flew to San Francisco to address the board and members of the church congregation. "(Rev. Hunter) is a pastor in good standing," said Bishop Kirkland. "The will of the Bishops has to be followed, or this will set precedent for other churches in the AME church to reject our assignments." Bishop Kirkland called for skeptical members in the church to be open to greeting Rev. Hunter, who he called a charismatic leader, and open up a dialogue with him. For now, Bethel AME is being led by Elder Dr. Bartalette Finney until the disagreement is resolved among Hunter, the Fifth District Bishop and members of Bethel AME church. A resolution passed by Bethel's Board of Stewards and Trustees "Demanded that Bishop Kirkland convene and chair a Conciliation Committee, as is set forth and allowed under the A.M.E. Church Discipline, to review Bethel's concerns regarding Rev. Dr. Hunter's alleged maladministration, and other improper activities as the pastor of First AME Church in Los Angeles. "The Bishop, to this date has not indicated whether or not he plans to respond to this specific demand of Bethel's Stewards and Trustees."Share this:ShareFacebook Filed under: Articles

This just in from our fan HQ in Mississippi: Tiger Woods is in the wild.
After weeks of managing to avoid attention, the philandering linkster was working on his frequent flyer miles in the state this week. University of Southern Mississippi student Adrian Smith tells E! News she spotted Woods arriving at Hattiesburg-Bobby L. Chain Municipal Airport Monday night.
The beleaguered star was sporting a black baseball hat, black jacket and jeans as he stood near the airport's entrance at about 10 p.m., says Smith. He then proceeded to hop into a white SUV parked curbside.
"He didn't look happy or sad, just straight," Smith says. "He looked around and got in the driver's seat. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. He just walked around the car and got in. He sat there for a few seconds, then just drove off. His luggage was already in the car."
Smith says she has no doubt it was a Tiger sighting. "I know it was him 100 percent," the 19-year-old insists. Indeed, her dispatch jibes with a Radar Online report that says Woods is in Hattiesburg to take advantave of some local expertise.
Take a look back at the golfer pre-scandal in our Tiger Woods: The Early Years gallery!

Sainsbury's posts first sales fall in nine years
Sainsbury's has posted its first drop in sales in nine years, ending 36 consecutive quarters of growth, with chief executive Justin King describing trading conditions as the toughest since 2005.
Justin King: chief executive of Sainsbury's
In a trading update, Sainsbury's has revealed that like-for-like sales in the 10 weeks to 15 March were down 3.1 per cent, excluding fuel. This compares with a 3.6 per cent rise in the same period last year.
King blamed a combination of tough trading conditions and "tough comparatives", with the corresponding quarter last year including a boost for Sainsbury's after its rivals' products were found to contain horse meat.
However, the retailer said it had retained its UK market share of 17 per cent and was seeing continued growth in its own-label products, reported as "significantly ahead of branded products". Sainsbury's also revealed a 15 per cent year-on-year growth in its convenience business.
King, who is set to leave the supermarket in July, said: "The market is now growing at its slowest rate since 2005, with falling food inflation in particular benefiting customers. The later timing of Easter and Mother's Day, which fall in quarter one of our new financial year, and unseasonable weather, have also contributed to lower market growth year-on-year.
"Although some economic indicators are showing an improvement in the health of the economy, we expect the outlook for customers to continue to be challenging for the coming year. We remain confident that our differentiated offer, supported by 'value for values', Nectar data and Brand Match, will allow us to outperform our peers in the year ahead."

On September 29, 2003 AGA submitted comments on the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) Best Management Practices for Pipeline Repairs ("Draft Repair BMP"). AGA expressed concerns that the Draft Repair BMP and associated guidance could actually complicate and slow down the process of obtaining the permits needed to perform the large volume of pipeline integrity testing and repairs that required by the Natural Gas Pipeline Integrity Final Rule. This is because federal and especially state environmental agencies often require natural gas pipeline projects to use BMP's that are quite different from those described in Draft Repair BMP. AGA urged OPS to coordinate with the states to streamline state approvals. In addition, AGA identified several ambiguous or overly broad terms that could lead to debate, delay and confusion. AGA posed questions regarding the facilities that are intended to be affected by the Draft Repair BMP as well as the streamlining OPS expects the Draft Repair BMP to provide.

Legislators seek rules on lobby spendingBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 02,2013MONTPELIER The debate over campaign finance in Vermont has focused squarely on elections for public office. Some lawmakers, however, are now looking to shine a brighter light on the influence of money in the legislative process.
A flurry of radio advertisements related to the soda tax in recent weeks has prompted new calls for heightened disclosure requirements. Lobbyists, or the special interests that hire them, are already required to file expense reports with the secretary of state three times per year.
But Rep. Mike Fisher, a Lincoln Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Health Care, said the infrequency of those deadlines prevents lawmakers from getting timely information about the monied interests trying to sway their votes on controversial bills.
I think its totally appropriate for anybody with an interest in legislation to spend as much money as they want to influence our decisions, Fisher said. I just want to know how much.
Fisher wants to take a page from the laws that govern the 30-day run-up to elections, when anyone running an ad for or against a candidate has to file a finance report within 24 hours of it airing. Fishers committee drafted a memorandum this week seeking a similar standard for expenditures that try to influence lawmakers votes on specific bills.
Mass media expenditures include things like radio and television ads, but also ads in local newspapers and mass mailings to constituents.
In much the same way that candidates and political action committees use media to influence elections, lobbyists and special-interest groups use it to sway the outcome of votes on key bills. This year has already featured two ad-generating issues in death with dignity and the soda tax.
Fisher said he was moved to act after asking veteran Montpelier lobbyist Andrew MacLean how much the beverage associations he represents had paid to run the anti-soda-tax messages that have appeared recently in print and radio ads. The ads encourage voters to contact their legislators and register their opposition to the proposal.
Fisher said MacLean told him hed get back to him with the information. Fisher said though that another member of MacLeans firm, Heidi Tringe, later told him hed get the answer on the next mandated disclosure deadline, which doesnt come until April.
Our committee is debating this issue now, so thats not a really useful timetable, Fisher said. Im of the belief that if money is being spent to influence a political process, then it needs to be part of the record.
The American Heart Association, a proponent of the soda tax, has been running ads in favor of the penny-per-ounce surcharge. Tina Zuk, director of government affairs for the organization, voluntarily provided Fisher with information detailing her groups $3,000 worth of mass media buys.
We have nothing to hide and were doing it for a great cause, Zuk said. (Fisher) said hes interested in learning sooner than later about how money spent on media might be affecting the political process, and were happy to provide him with the information.
MacLeans firm, MacLean Meehan Rice, declined comment.
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, has overseen mid-session media campaigns on everything from renewable energy subsidies to bottle-deposit bills.
It works, Burns said. Its always hard to know precisely what caused someone to make a call to their legislator, and whether it caused that person to vote a certain way. But its mass communication, and it helps to create a certain public sentiment around an issue.
Burns said hes not opposed to real-time disclosure requirements for legislative advocacy. But he said the Legislature should make sure it doesnt expose itself to legal challenges. The restrictions on political speech during elections, Burns said, are designed to prevent the kind of quid pro quo corruption that might arise when a candidate owes the people that got him or her into office.
That same fear of course does not apply when we are looking at issue of advancing or trying to stop specific pieces of legislation, Burns said. But you still have a state interest it seems to me, and a public interest, in knowing who is sponsoring those ads and how much theyre spending.
Fisher said the memorandum will be sent to the chairwomen of the House and Senate committees on government operations, where theyll be considered alongside a slate of other campaign-finance provisions being debated this year.

Press Releases/Mangano's HUB Plan Garners Tremendous Support; Economists Project A $27 Profit Per Household
Would Create Thousands of Jobs and Stimulate Nassau's Economy
Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano's Economic Development and Job Creation Plan for the Hub has garnered the support of the Long Island Association (LIA); the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, which represents over 40 chambers throughout Nassau County; Vision Long Island; the Long Island Convention and Visitor's Bureau; the Long Island Council of Clergy; the Long Island Chapter of the New York Restaurant Association; and the Nassau County Independence Party. The plan includes the construction of a new sports arena, ballpark and indoor multi-purpose facility for conventions and track and field events that together creates a family-fun entertainment destination while creating thousands of jobs and stimulating Nassau's economy.
"It's very simple. Government services are funded through both sales tax revenue and property tax revenue," said County Executive Mangano. "My Economic Development and Job Creation Plan will generate millions in additional sales tax revenue while helping me fulfill my pledge to hold the line on property taxes."
According to an independent economic impact analysis conducted by Camoin Associates, a nationally recognized firm in public and private sector economic development, the construction of a new arena will generate a profit of $27 per household for Nassau residents. These earnings are based on a revenue-sharing agreement negotiated between Nassau County and Arenaco, in which Arenaco would provide Nassau County with 11.5% of every dollar spent at the new arena, or $14 million, whichever is more. Furthermore, Camoin Associates estimates the construction of a new arena will create 1,515 construction jobs and 3,040 permanent jobs.
"The Nassau County Independent Office of Budget Review has estimated that $13.80 is the maximum cost per household for the construction of a new arena, "said County Executive Mangano. "That is about the price of one pizza. In addition, the $13.80 cap is $2.20 less than what would cost Nassau homeowners if the Coliseum were to close in 2015, which was estimated to be $16 as per Camoin."
According to Camoin Associates, Nassau County taxpayers would face an annual increase in property taxes of $16 per household should the Coliseum doors shutter in 2015 when the New York Islanders' lease expires. Camoin Associates also estimates the loss of 2,660 jobs in Nassau County, for a total of $104 million in annual earnings. This would mean the County would lose sales tax, hotel tax and entertainment tax revenues of $7.8 million, which amounts to a cumulative revenue loss of $233 million for the County over the same 30-year time period.
