My office released a report which found many troubling demographic trends. The study found that the Nassau County population has remained stagnant since 2000 and will decline by 3 percent over the next 10 years, while the ages 60 and over population will be increasing from about 22 percent of the total population today to more than 27 percent. More worrisome is that our young adults between the ages of 10- to 19 years-old and our children between 0 to 9 years are declining at alarming rates. This highlights that about 11 percent of our young adults go off to college and do not return for local careers, and our 0- to 9-year-old school-age children population will decline by more than 60,000 by 2024 compared to 2000. These trends will have serious negative consequences on our local economy, our schools, property taxes and housing values.
As November ends, the weekly Saturday Artisan Craft Fair & Sunday Farmers Market are winding down, and Farmingdale Village has several community events planned. The annual Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce Holiday Parade and visit with Santa will be held on Saturday Nov. 22 at noon. The Holiday Parade assembles at Northside School and proceeds south down Main Street, ending at the Village Green with Santa giving out Candy canes and photo ops for the kids. Plus bring an unwrapped gift as there will be a collection for Marine
Toys for Tots. The Village thanks the Chamber of Commerce for their efforts planning this fun community event.
Journalism is about gathering important information and preparing it for public dissemination. It should be interesting and unique, but sometimes it involves events like the shopping stampede known as Black Friday.
The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability (Choice) Act required VA hospitals to start implementation of Choice Program by Nov. 5, 2014. Today veterans who live 40 or more miles away from a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility will have the opportunity to choose whether to receive their health care at VA or in their community. Veterans who live within 40 miles of a VA medical facility, but who are unable to obtain an appointment within 30 days, will begin receiving their cards later this month. VA hospitals have begun issuing Veterans Choice Cards and expect all veterans who were enrolled in the VA health care system on Aug. 1, 2014, will receive their cards by January 2015.
As the Thanksgiving grocery list nears completion and turkeys are reserved at farms and food stores, a lumbering giant casts a large, round shadow over that Thursday of food, family, football and forty winks.
With rosey cheeks, long white beard and an overweight man's gait, Santa Claus continues his annual mission: to crowd the national consciousness as soon as the calendar flips from October to November, completely eclipsing Thanksgiving in the process. Many folks talk about a "war on Christmas," arguing that the phrase "happy holidays" robs them of their Yule
Tide pride. But the real national travesty can be seen on television daily—an endless parade of the red and green horror show that is Christmas consumerism.
I am not celebrating this mid-term election. What it means to me is set backs! "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer."
Inequity and inequality will expand. There will be more unfair voting restrictions, more low wages for women and men, lack of affordable birth control and child care, and no concern for our planet. Fossil fuels will boom under corporations as they continue to pollute and destroy air, water and our food system. Renewable energy will be on the back burners along with good education and immigration reform for those who need and deserve it. The global corporations and their investors will rule. I believe the American dream is vanishing and an America run by the elite is rising.

On Oct. 30, at approximately 3:00 p.m., a Farmingdale High School student, after exiting the school bus, reported that a man in a dark-colored four-door SUV crossover-type car was parked near the corner of Secatogue Avenue and Hallock Street. The car pulled up next to the student, whistled and called to the student. The student did not recognize the driver, so the student continued home. The police were notified.
Unless you've been living under a rock, it was hard to avoid the story of Brittany Maynard, the 29-year-old Portland woman who ended her own life under Oregon's "Death with Dignity Act."
Maynard quickly became the face of the hot-button topic when her stage four diagnosis of glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) became public and announced that she was an advocate for the right to die.
I read with interest Fred Steinberg's piece "Long Island's Saltwater Fountain of Youth"(The Weekend, Sept. 17-23).
I also experienced, to my delight, a similar "seniors are free" encounter. Fifteen to 20 years ago, when I was 55 or 60 years old, I went to renew my pass to the parks of Nassau County.
(I'd previously paid $30 for the pass that was renewable in three years.)
West Africa has an ebola outbreak. It has become global. Hysteria abounds. It is not theirs alone. It is now humanity's outbreak which has no borders. However, in fact, everything in the world today transcends borders: from the Internet to capitalism to climate change to wars.

Kona Grill Inc. ( KONA ) was a big mover last session, as its shares rose over 5% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend for the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $16.61 to $19.36 in the past one-month timeframe.
In the last 30 days, the company witnessed two negative estimate revisions and the Zacks Consensus Estimate also moved lower, signaling trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if yesterday's move higher lasts.
Kona Grill currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) while its Earnings ESP is 0.00%.

Jessica Biel let's Justin Timberlake pick out her outfits
by Chris Michaels
posted Jul 11 2012 5:12PM
Just about every relationship that I know, including mine...the guy let's his girlfriend or wife pick out his clothes for him. I've never heard of the situation being reversed...until now.
Jessica Biel says that when she gets dressed in the morning, she presents herself for Justin Timberlake for his approval. And, he sometimes shakes his head no, and picks out another outfit. She goes on to say that Justin even picked out her engagement ring.
She says, "I have no say so in the ring. I don't micromanage. He is fearless in his choices, and has a real eye for design. And I'll be honest...he has better taste that I do."
Do you let your man pick your outfits for you?

First there was the laptop, then came the tablet and now, Acer combines the best of both with their 14-inch dual-screen Iconia. It features a full-touch interface and is driven by a powerful Intel i5 Processor. Watch a movie on one screen, while you fiddle with facebook on the other. If you crave the function of a traditional laptop, just activate the virtual keyboard and type away. If you want to multi-task your ass off, this could be just the laptop/tablet-thing for you.
Are you sick of the snide condescension from your Mac-using co-workers? Well, feel free to flip them the proverbial bird. The new Vaio is cool; not that coolness counts for much to the proud PC user, but this machine is also powerful. Boast about your Windows 7 OS, your Intel i7 processor and the 7.5-hour battery life. Or better yet, stay silent. You don't want all the Macsters converting.
We know finger-tapping on your tablet is entertaining. But, if you're a PC user who actually uses a computer to do work, you'll like this mouse. Designed to streamline navigation in Windows 7, this high-tech rodent will speed up scrolling, panning, paging forward & back, docking, minimizing/maximizing, showing desktop and more.
Apple's shiny silver box received its annual upgrade. Sorry if you just returned home with your freshly out-dated MacBook. We won't bore you with all the specs. Highlights include an optional speedy quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor, and spiffy new technology, 'Thunderbolt', which opens up a whole new world of super-fast plug-&-play performance for your peripherals. Apple even beefed-up the HD camera. Upgrade time.
How many hours per day are you glued to your computer? Honestly, all your clicking and typing are bound to cause some fatigue and soreness in your hands and wrists. This can lead to repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel and tendinitis. This ergonomic keyboard was designed with input from doctors and it actually moves slightly as you work to keep your hands from staying stuck in the same position.
Are you a plug-in-every-port type of guy? Well, here's an easy way to get more USB action out of your desktop. This little doinklet holds your monitor up top, fits your keyboard underneath and features six USB ports for you to plug your whole life into. There's even a mini-USB port and an AC adapter port for charging the camera battery. Clean up your desk & power up your digitalia. Easy like.
In some ways we're pretty dumb, aren't we? Like, we only get extra keys made after paying the locksmith 500 bucks to get us into our car. We vow to back our computers up only after losing the family photo archive. Maybe now would be a good time to think ahead. Just take a baby step. Get one of these shitstorm-proof cases from LaCie to hold your 2.5" hard drives, digital cameras, or any other small, valuable electronic-type gear you don't want to replace. Do some damage control.
Okay, so maybe you're getting a little old for toys, but with this one you've got a great excuse. It's a hard drive. This 1:18 scale model Delorean from the movie Back To The Future actually contains a 500GB hard drive – that's some decent storage space. When you're sure nobody is around, unplug the 6-foot USB cable and roll it around on your desk. Just don't get caught, people are already suspicious of you.
Small stuff is cool. Like miniature horses and bonsai trees. Like Smart cars. Sometimes little stuff just makes more sense. This computer is a great example. It's a cube, four-inches on a side, packing the power of a legit PC. But, what makes it really sweet is it's modular – designed to link with other cubes for building ever-expanding, easily upgradable systems. Its components are universal, energy efficient & designed to last five-times longer than the average computer.
A pocket-sized, 500GB USB 3.0 portable hard-drive is in itself, a pretty rad little storehouse. Add to that power, the smooth & functionally sculpted form by famed industrial designer, Philippe Starck, and you've got yourself a damn fine device. Its all-aluminum case makes it even cooler. Literally. Even at ten-times the speed of regular USB, it won't heat up.

Caroline Herschel at EAST
Check out my portrait of Caroline Herschel, representing Art.Science.Gallery in the EAST Austin Studio Tour!
In other news, it's all OOAK prep frenzy here. RJH has made oak, maple and pine frames. I'm becoming pretty good at cutting mats (an aquired skill, let me tell you) and packaging and pricing of prints continues apace!
Oh, and if you are in a German-speaking European nation, look out for my Chinese Zodiac prints in both Happinez and Good Health magazines this December!

Data as art: X Marks the Spot
Hayley Gillespie at Art.Science.Gallery in Austin noticed that some of my prints submitted for previous shows would also fit for their latest: X Marks the Spot. She describes the show thus:
Quantitative or categorical, discrete or continuous, dependent or independent, variables allow scientists to measure and describe properties of the world around us. They are common to every scientific discipline and assume a wide range of possible values. With gravity and humor, precision and abstraction, record-keeping and experimentation, variables are made visible through the works of eight contemporary artists.
So, from October 25 to November 23, 2014, you can find my portraits of Niels Bohr, Caroline Herschel and Florence Nightingale, on exhibit. The show features eight artists, many of whom are 'data artists' and the images online look fascinating.
It's particularly interesting to me, since I haven't really thought of my work as illustrating data or variables, per se, so much as illustrating the scientists themselves, since their work is integral to a full portrait. I believe mine are the only portraits and other works are more abstract, less figurative.
Each of these portraits does actually, now that I think about it, contain some precise representations of variable data. Niels Bohr's portrait contains the Balmer series of spectral lines given off by excited hydrogen gas. Caroline Herschel's portrait contains her own diagrams of the night sky and her observation of one of the several comets she discovered (hence, a mapping of position over time). Florence Nightingale's portrait shows her own statistical investigation of the causes of mortality amongst British troops during the Crimean War, shown plotted as a polar area diagram – her own statistical and data visualization innovation, sometimes called a Nightingale Rose Diagram.
The other artists involved in the show have taken data -both their own personal life data, they have gathered themselves and freely available datasets and created artworks where they have developped their own methodologies for representing the data. They are working with everything from an artist's own personal experience of cancer care, the weather (where storms themselves are involved in the mark making), using algorithms to turn winds into drawing, to the instances where H.G. Wells specifies colour in his novels!
One of the artists involved had been turning her own data into art - things like walks she takes, daily activities and nightly EEG sleep data - and then recognized that she is doing something algorithmically which could be translated into a phone app which would allow anyone to make art from their own daily lives. If you're in Austin, check out the artist's talk by Laurie Frick on November 8. She'll explain her process and her smartphone app FRICKBits, and how you can use it to make art of your daily life too. How cool is that?! The app is for iPhone, and I have an Android, so I might have to ask RJH if I can play with his phone.
In other news, if you happen to be in Europe and read German, check out the Christmas/New Year issue of Happinez magazine, which will be featuring my Chinese Zodiac series!

OOAK Prep - Multimedia
My next big adventure is the Christmas One of a Kind Show! I have a piece in the upcoming 'X Marks the Spot' show at Art.Science.Gallery and I need to complete my 'In the Round' artworks for the Graven Feather show, but the big thing on the horizon is OOAK. RJH has been building parts of my booth. We're planning hard walls on which I can hang framed artwork, with an overhead lighting system affixed to it, and some hopefully simple flooring. He's also planning to build me frames for my artwork. I've been researching where I can get glass, and we've ordered a proper mat cutter and we hope to have this scheme underway shortly.
Right now, I want to stock up. I've been making more of my multimedia series: unicorns, ships and balloons. Soon I'll move on to two-headed turtles! I've also been printing second editions of popular prints. I'm almost out of poppies so I made a new edition with thicker scarlet kozo paper. I want to list it before Remembrance Day.
On the home front it's been a challenging week. When I was doing laundry, soapy water started flooring up from the basement floor drain. It turns out that the roots from the neighbour's tree have crushed our clay drain pipe underneath our front lawn. While the water appeared soapy it had gone down the drain until it couldn't proceed and then came back - which means it had been where our sewage goes. This needs an immediate and expensive fix. I also did some emergency gardening as I suspect plumbers might destroy my garden if I didn't transplant any fragile plants before they did up and replace the pipe. Meanwhile, I think the baby must be getting another tooth because it's been some pretty sleepless nights. I'm not always sure when I can get some studio time; he's not much of a napper, and if I try to work after he goes to bed the cat stages a vocal protest*, which risks waking him up (and another sleepless night). So, I am now trying to make art when there is a quieter moment during the day and working at the computer after baby's bedtime, whilst keeping our cantankerous elder cat company.
So it's 8:40 pm and I'm going to bed. G'night!
*she makes this cry which would be useful if you were producing sound effects for horror movies, which means "I'm bored and lonely, come downstaits". It's horrible.

Ada Lovelace Day 2014: The hard-earned fame of Marie Skłodowska-Curie
|Ada, Countess Lovelace, 3rd edition linocut by Ele Willoughby
This year I'm participating in an entire group art show celebrating Ada Lovelace Day. The Art.Science.Gallery show Go Ahead and Do It: Portraits of Women in STEM culminates today! I will share all of my portraits of women in science (and links to where I tell their stories) below.
|Marie Skłodowska-Curie, linocut with glow-in-the-dark ink by Ele Willoughby, 2014
In previous years, I've specifically avoided writing about Marie Curie because she is often the one historical figure people can name. I don't like to do the obvious thing and particularly want to highlight the under appreciated heroines of science. However the result is that her truly remarkable achievements haven't been celebrated here, just because of her fame. So, with a collection of portraits and stories written on the less well known, today I'll write about the well-known and why she in fact deserves her fame.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934), Polish-born, naturalized-French physicist and chemist, as the first woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to ever win TWO Nobel prizes, and the only person ever to win in two different sciences: physics and chemistry! She was also the first female professor at the University of Paris, and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris. Born Maria Salomea Skłodowska in Warsaw, she studied secretly at the Floating University there before moving to Paris where she earned higher scientific degrees, met her PhD supervisor and future husband Pierre.
She was one of the pioneers who helped explain radioactivity, a term she coined. She was the one who first developed a means of isolating radioacitve isotopes and discovered not one, but two new elements: polonium (named for her native country) and radium. She also pioneered radioactive medicine, proposing the treatment of tumors with radioactivity. She founded medical research centres, the Curie Institutes in Paris and Warsaw which are still active today. She created the first field radiology centres during World War I. Each one of these achievements alone would warrant being memorialized in the annals of science and medicine; she did all of these things. She died in 1934 from aplastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation, including carrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research and her World War I service in her mobile X-ray units.
Her pioneering work explaining radioactivity earned her the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri Becquerel. At first, the Committee intended to honour only Pierre and Becquerel, but Swedish mathematician Magnus Gösta Mittag-Leffler, an advocate of women in science, alerted Pierre to the situation. (You may recall that it was the same man who helped Sofia Kovalevski secure a University position in Stockholm and that she collaborated on works of literature and had what was called a "romantic friendship" with his sister Duchess Anne-Charlotte Edgren-Leffler). After Pierre's complaint, Marie's name was added to the nomination. The 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to her "in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element."
Her life and legacy are truly extraordinary!
|Marie Skłodowska-Curie, linocut with glow-in-the-dark ink show in the light and dark by Ele Willoughby, 2014
Not only was her work original and providing revolutionary insight on the theoretical side at the time, but the sheer heroic dedication and labour involved in her experimental work cannot be overstated. Having recognized that pitchblende ore must contain multiple elements which were giving off radiation, she and Pierre were able to show in 1898 that two new elements Polonium and Radium were needed to explain their observations. They then sought to actually isolate these elements. From a ton of pitchblende, she separated one-tenth of a gram of radium chloride in 1902. In 1910 Marie Curie isolated pure radium metal - a full 12 years after she and Pierre published their preliminary evidence for its existence. This involved working in a shed, meticulously separating the radioactive material from the inert and then dividing the radioactive material into its various sources for many years - all the while raising their young daughter when not at the lab.
Both of the elements she discovered are radioactive, meaning that they spontaneously give off radiation. All of the isotopes of polonium emit alpha particles, but Polonium-210 will emit a blue glow which is caused by excitation of surrounding air. Radium emits alpha, beta and gamma particles - that is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, electrons as well as x-rays. Thus, I've shown her sample surrounded by the symbols of these particles: the straight and wiggly lined arrows for the massive particles and high-energy light photons or gamma rays respectively, and made the sample with glow-in-the-dark ink. While the materials she discovered and worked with would have glowed due to radioactivity, never fear... these prints glow due to phosphorescence - a different process which is not dangerous. The ink will absorb UV light (for instance, from sunlight) and re-emit it in the dark.
The linocut is printed on Japanese kozo paper 9.25" by 12.5" (23.5 cm by 32 cm) in an edition of eight.
You will soon find links to my previous Ada Lovelace Day posts and other short bios and portraits of heroines of science in my next post.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a California teen who went missing in South Lake Tahoe on New Year's Eve and was found near a snow bank died of hypothermia but also had drugs in her system.
The El Dorado County Sheriff released autopsy results Monday in the death of 19-year-old Petaluma resident Alyssa Byrne. Officials listed her cause of death as probable hypothermia, and said they found evidence of methamphetamine and multiple psychoactive drugs.
The teen had attended a music festival at Lake Tahoe Community College on New Year's Eve but disappeared afterward. A utility worker found her body near a snow bank a few days later.
Deputies say she may have tried to walk three miles in freezing weather to her hotel in Stateline, Nev. Authorities say her boot prints also suggested disorientation.

Division of labor: CTU wants Rahm out, but trade unions back him
By Natasha Korecki Political Reporter August 16, 2014 9:52AM
Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel talks about the new medical, health and biopharma innovation hub, MATTER, Tuesday at it's location being constructed in the Merchandise Mart. | Michael Schmidt/Sun-Times
Updated: September 18, 2014 6:41AM
There's no question where the Chicago Teachers Union as well as a coalition of community groups stand when it comes to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. They're out for his head after he closed 50 schools, mostly in poor and minority communities.
But so far in Emanuel's re-election efforts, organized labor is showing it isn't rigid in its support — or opposition — to the mayor. . . READ MORE

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need

The Treasury probably likes George Harrison quite a bit — and probably also listens to Revolver more than the other Beatles albums. But while these are unfair assumptions, they're not meant to be derogatory. The psychedelic pop crafted by these Asheville, North Carolina, gents borrows from the heavily textured, slightly drugged sound of late-era Fab Four — check out the John Lennon-style slap-back delay and nostalgic lyrics of "Memory Lane" — while also revisiting the late-'80s power-pop revivalism of Tears for Fears and Jellyfish, and Sloan's modern pop-rock. Heavy, swirling guitars and reverb-drenched organ give other songs on this year's Learning to Levitate a hint of later Britpop wooziness, adding mysterious dissonance that nicely complements the Treasury's bright, bouncy melodies.

The historic Tathra Wharf, Tathra, New South Wales, Australia.

Very nice work Darren. I love the way the afternoon/evening sun makes this place really come to life. You have captured it very well.
wow…so vibrant! this scene is what i dream of, thanks for letting me SEE it!
Thanks for your comments, Michael and Joanne.
So interesting to see it from this angle!!
(And a much better shot than mine. But then, I guess I wasn't really there to take pictures.)
Friend of mine judged Tathra Beach, in the Keep Australia Beautiful Clean Beach Challenge, a few years ago. Highly recommended it to the committee and was disappointed that it didn't win.
Fortunately, it was recognised in (a) subsequent year(s).
Really great picture!
Thanks, Ozcloggie.
Appreciate your comments and the passion you have for Tathra. It's a great spot in Australia.
Now the Tathra secret is out, everyone will bombard the town. I thought I had it all to myself, and Tathra was waiting for my return.

Single This Holiday Season? Here's Ho Ho Hope To Find Love
For some single women, the holiday season is the absolute worst time of year. Answering awkward questions from nosey relatives. Going to parties and functions alone. Not having someone to kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve. Another year has passed and you didn't find love. I was still single at 40. I vividly remember the sadness, loneliness and disappointment. Yet, this is supposed to be the season of hope and a time when people renew their belief in miracles. A time when:
Newtown: The Grief, The Anger, and the Shame
When news of a tragedy like the one in Newtown, CT this week hits us, most of us experience sadness, followed sooner or later by anger. This is a normal part of Grief, a complicated emotional process that is associated with a loss. Though most of us have not lost a loved one, we have all experienced a loss in one sense. We have all lost a little of the sense of safety and security we need to carry around with us in order to be able to function and focus on our daily business.
Tips On How To Talk To Your Children About Sandy Hook Shooting
There are no words to describe what happened on Friday at a Newtown Connecticut Elementary School. Even being an expert in my field, it was difficult to find the words to talk about this on television. As a mother of two children ages 5 and 7, I was in a sheer panic when I heard the news. As a parent I thought, "We should be able to send our children off to school not fearing for their safety." Unfortunately this is no longer the case.
Children caught in the middle of divorce, they are the victims
I watched as my children left in their dad's car this past time, my daughter not wanting to go, tears running down her face as her father told her to get in. The police were standing there because I had called them just after a CPS report was filed on how their father was being abusive towards them. My soon to be ex-husband pulled the court order papers out of his pocket and handed it over to the police officer after he had just spoken to my 9 year old little daughter and my 11 year old son. They both told the office that they did not want to be at their father's house.
Co-parenting: Oxymoron or Opportunity?
I've often found the title "co-parenting" somewhat of a humorous irony, a conundrum. Think about it. Here you have two people that just went through an emotionally hurtful process of divorce and in many instances despise each other. Then it is suggesting that they be calm enough to have a mature conversation about parenting. It's like the democrats and republicans suddenly compromising to prevent the fiscal cliff after four years of resentment.
What The Country Can Learn From the Connecticut School Shooting
Our nation as a whole tends to stigmatize and minimize the reality and the extent of the impact of mental health issues on our country. Mental health is always on the top of the list when budgets are slashed on local, state, and national levels. Insurance companies are making excessive profits at the expense of families ability to afford services. The latest trend with insurance companies is to increase deductibles and co-pays and charge exorbitant premiums making mental health services inaccessible to many.
4 Simple Acts That Lead To Love In Times Of Grief
The aftermath of a national tragic event like the devastation at Sandy Hook Elementary brings to life a world of painful wounds. Based on previous experiences and knowledge people react in three ways. They either get pissed enough to take action toward change using the event to move them toward more life and love, avoid pain becoming indifferent and apathetic, or stay stuck in pain and frustration captive in their own thoughts and behaviors.

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas police say they're looking for two men who apparently dressed as Mormon missionaries and asked a man to talk about religion before robbing him at gunpoint.
Police released home surveillance photos of two men they believe robbed the man the morning of June 27 at a home near the intersection of Flamingo Road and South Buffalo Drive, in the southwest part of the Las Vegas valley.
The victim told police a pair of men dressed in white dress shirts and black slacks knocked on his door and asked to speak about religion. Police say the victim spoke with the men for about five minutes before they jumped him, punched him and stole property at gunpoint.
Sgt. Andrew Pennucci says he couldn't speculate whether the men were legitimate missionaries.
