New Jersey v. Kelly
478 A.2d 364
Brief Filed: 4/83
Court: Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey
Year of Decision: 1984
Read the full-text amicus brief (PDF, 659KB)
Whether expert testimony on battered women's syndrome is admissible to help establish claims of self-defense in a murder case — parallels case of Hawthorne v. Florida, 470 So.2d 770 (1985)
Index Topics
Battered Women's Syndrome; Expert Witnesses/Psychologists' Competency
A victim of spouse abuse was charged with murder for the death of her husband. At trial, defense counsel sought to have the testimony of a clinical psychologist admitted on the question of the defendant's claim of self-defense. The trial court denied admission of the evidence on the ground that the testimony was inadmissible under the New Jersey standard of self-defense. The New Jersey appellate court affirmed the conviction for reckless manslaughter and ruled that exclusion of the expert testimony was harmless error in light of evidence of appellant's guilt and the fact that evidence of her prior history of abuse had been liberally admitted at trial. The New Jersey Supreme Court granted review of the case.
APA's Position
APA's amicus brief argued that: 1) the requirement that expert testimony must be reliable calls for proof that the expert's methodology is generally accepted by the relevant scientific community; it does not require proof that the expert opinion be unanimous or that the expert's methodology is infallible; and (2) the methodology used by psychologists studying battered women is generally accepted by the relevant scientific community and, accordingly, the state of scientific knowledge supports a reliable expert opinion on battered women's syndrome.
The New Jersey Supreme Court held that expert testimony concerning battered women's syndrome was relevant to prove the honesty and reasonableness of the defendant's belief that deadly force was necessary to protect herself from serious harm and, therefore, support her self defense claim; and that such testimony satisfied the criteria governing the admissibility of expert testimony. The Court reversed the defendant's conviction and ordered a new trial.

I look forward to the next 43 steps, and may they fill you with the joy that you filled all of us with for all of these years," she said, tearing up.

Skype downtimeTuesday, June 7th, 2011
Skype was down early this morning for the second time in just a few weeks. Although the people at Skype keep saying that it affected a "small number" of users, I don't buy it. Maybe they mean a small "percentage" of total users, but not a small number. In either case, these outages are becoming annoying. I actually pay for Skype credits because I need to use it to call landlines and cell phones, so when it's out, I don't want to hear the old, "Oh, it's free, so what do you expect?" excuse. Hope these guys straighten things up soon. My business depends on it!

Friday, November 2, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
In those days -- the ones of my cherished youth -- my cousin, Ronnie, a year older than I, worked for my daddy. Ronnie had cotton colored hair and a face that, like mine, was smattered with freckles. He had what the lucky ones on Daddy's side of the family inherit: a quick-thinking sense of humor that is succinct, clever and smart.
While I remember many good things about my sweet-spirited cousin in those days, the thing I remember most -- and admire beyond explanation -- is how he trailed around behind Daddy, hanging on to his every word and carefully processing his advice.
I guess he was around 14 when he started working part-time for Daddy, helping him around his garage after school during the week and spending all day on Saturday doing farm work. Ronnie was then and still is a hard worker who gives a good day's work for a wage and then studies carefully on how he spends each dollar. Daddy taught him how to change a carburetor, repair a transmission, fix a contrary tractor, bush hog through a yellow jackets' nest, doctor an ailing cow and do business on a handshake alone. Aside from that, he learned what Daddy taught best -- life and the wisdom that its lessons deliver.
In my mind, I clearly recall how Ronnie would listen intently to anything that Daddy said. Sometimes I'd stop by the shop and finding them hanging out with Daddy sitting at his desk and Ronnie leaned back in a chair in front of the Coke machine with his long legs stretched to full extension. Daddy would be extolling on this or that and Ronnie would be nodding, his eyes squinted slightly, as he absorbed fully whatever was said. Daddy enjoyed teaching. Ronnie enjoyed learning.
"Now, let me tell you one thing," Daddy would be saying about someone who had just walked out. "Don't you ever do business with that sorry son-of-gun. He'll set your little field on fire. Lemme tell you what he tried to pull on ol' Ralph one time."
Or, on a Saturday, they'd be herding cows from the pasture at home to take to our bigger farm and Ronnie, smart but youthfully naive, would make a mistake of some kind.
"Boy, I'm gonna learn you a thing or two," Daddy's voice would boom. "You can't do that around a bull. He'll clean your plow for you."
Whatever Daddy said was both law and gospel to Ronnie for he had an unerring sense to be drawn to a man of hard-earned wisdom, listen to it and learn from it. I remember that in those days, I was proud of both, the young man and the old one. Then, I didn't realize exactly why but now I know -- each one innately knew and accepted a responsibility. Daddy wanted to pass his teachings along and Ronnie wanted to accept them. It is hard to say who was wiser.
When Daddy was dying, Ronnie came to the hospital. Sorrow covered him like an ill-fitting cloak as he sat in the corner of the waiting room and, sadly, gazed out the window, pensive in thought over losing a hero.
Brandon came to work for me several years ago when he was seventeen and reminded me much of my cousin in both looks -- sans the freckles -- and attitude. He was earnest, smart and willing to work hard so I invested in him as Daddy had invested in Ronnie. Once when he didn't keep his word to me and I gave him a strong life's teaching about honor, Brandon said humbly, "Yes ma'am. Miss Ronda, I'm young and I'm still learning but I won't do that again." And, he didn't.
The future belongs to both those in age and those in youth. May we all be wise enough to know when to teach and when to learn, for to each, there is a season.

Conventional wisdom dictates doing business in the form of a corporation or limited liability company. This provides shareholders and members in Florida corporations and limited liability companies with individual liability protection against the debts and liabilities of the business entity.
This arrangement still leaves open to attack, from judgment creditors of the individual, that person's stock or membership interest. Let's say there is a large deficiency judgment against a borrower in connection with their home or vacation real estate. In such case, the entire 100% stock ownership a person has in his business is subject attachment by a plaintiff who will then own the business.
Individual judgments can arise in any number of ways including taking corporate action that is outside the scope of permissible corporate purposes. You can see that it may not be enough to create a corporation. You should think about protecting not only your business, but also your assets including the stock you own in your business.
You can use separate entities to hold assets and lease assets back to the operating entity. You can also use a separate entity to hold intellectual property and license it back to the operating entity. This separates assets owned by your business entity into companies that are not actively engaged in activities that could lead to corporate liability.
To protect your stock interests more directly, you can also use trusts. These trusts will typically be either Discretionary Trusts or Spendthrift Trusts and will be Irrevocable Trusts.
Spendthrift Trusts expressly provide that a beneficiary's interest may not be alienated or attached by a creditor. A Discretionary Trust is arguably even more powerful as against creditors because the beneficiary's interest is tenuous and has at best speculative value since it is subject to the discretion of the trustee.
When looking at your trust needs, consider trusts containing both discretionary and spendthrift provisions. The following will give you an example of trust language for each which you should discuss with your business lawyer, estate planning attorney, and asset protection attorney. Note, there are estate planning issues to consider and some of this language may have gift tax consequences and so care must be taken.
Spendthrift Trust Provision
Neither the income nor the principal of the trust property shall be assigned, anticipated, or alienated in any manner by any beneficiary, nor shall it be subject to attachment, bankruptcy proceedings, or any other legal process, or to the interference or control of creditors or others.
Discretionary Trust Provision
Our Trustee shall hold and administer the Trust for our descendants upon the following terms:
Our Trustee may distribute to any one or more of our descendants as much of the net income and principal of the Trust as such Trustee may determine advisable for any purpose. If the Trustee is an Interested Trustee, [he shall distribute to any one or more of our descendants as much of the income and principal of the Trust as our Trustee determines is necessary or advisable for their health, education, maintenance, and support.] OR [no discretionary distributions can be made.]
Discretionary Standard Provision
My Trustee may act in his sole and absolute discretion.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. (AP) — St. Paul's College trustees are hopeful a deadline extension will stir a buyer for the Lawrenceville campus.
The board has extended until June 25 the deadline for bids to buy the campus. The initial deadline was April 9 and several parties requested more time.
Located in Virginia's tobacco-growing belt, the private, liberal arts college closed in June 2013 under crushing debt and questions about its governance.
St. Paul's was founded after the Civil War to educate black men and women in the segregated South. It was founded in 1888 by James Solomon Russell, an Episcopal priest who was born into slavery.
The campus is assessed at more than $12.5 million. It includes dormitories, a president's house and other residences, administration buildings, and more.

Jump to: [Synopsis] [Comments]
Tom plays doubles tennis against Lila's goony brother, CHIP (25), and father WILLIAM. Tom's partner is Lila's teenage sister, MINNOW. Annoyed by their vapid conversation, Tom intentionally loses the game so he can leave. Back at the estate, mother AUGUSTA surveys the arrangements for the elaborate outdoor ceremony. She also compliments each of them on their career paths — Tripler's an actor, Weesie's a doctor, Laura was recently published in The New Yorker, Jake's attempting to write the great American novel, and Pete's successful in finance. Augusta announces she's putting them all up at another estate, Getty's, across the fields from the Hayes family estate. Lila shows them all to their rooms at Getty's. Alone in her room, Laura attempts to practice a toast for the rehearsal dinner. She can't quite make it sincere. She complains to the other girls, who immediately start interrogating her about the collapse of her relationship with Tom. Turns out, the last time she saw him was a little more than a year ago, the night before he proposed to Lila.
At the rehearsal dinner, Augusta notices Tom eyeing Laura like a "lovesick sailor." She points this out to Lila, who tries to ignore it. The friends and family all have a little too much to drink, and they give toasts that range from amusing to obnoxious. Laura gives a heartfelt speech about their college clique, who were nicknamed "The Romantics" because all of them dated each other at one time or another, which makes sense to Laura because they're best friends, and best friends fall in love. Lila defies tradition by toasting Tom, observing that she gave up photography after college, but she no longer needs it because she has Tom, who is her lens. When the dinner breaks up, Lila reminds Tripler to meet her in her room to "tuck her in" at midnight and tells Tripler to remind the other girls. Lila goes back to the estate and quietly broods. Meanwhile, the others — including Tom and Chip — drunkenly wander down toward the ocean. They climb onto a wooden pier that's loosely moored to the dock. They all convince Tom to give a speech of his own, and as he does, nobody realizes that they've become unmoored. They all dive into the water to swim back ashore. All of them arrive on the beach except Tom, which confuses the others because he was a champion swimmer in college. They all speculate the possibilities — he's hiding from Lila after the awkwardness of the evening, he beat them all back and passed out on the lawn — before dividing up into search parties. Tripler and Jake partner up, as do Pete and Weesie. This leaves Chip and Laura. They split up, with Tripler reminding them about the "tuck in" at the last second.
Drunk out of his mind, Chip says a variety of obnoxious things about the collapse of Laura's relationship with Tom. Eventually he tackles her and attempts to force himself on her. She shoves him away and storms off. Tripler and Jake go to the Hayes estate. Instead of looking for Tom, Tripler produces cocaine cut with Welbutrin. They both snort and discuss the strangeness of Tom's getting together with Lila. Out on the lawn, Tom spots Laura. He's hidden in the woods. Tom tells her he's hiding and wonders if she wants to take a few minutes to talk. Weesie and Pete go to the Getty's estate and discuss married life. Weesie is a little concerned about the impending nuptials. Tom and Laura start civil, but Laura gets caustic about Tom's sudden, bizarre decision to dump her and ask out Lila, pointing out how coincidental it was that he chose to do this shortly after visiting the luxurious Hayes estate for the first time. She brings up old memories, but Tom cuts her off with a symbol-laden monologue about swimming — how he loves the security of a swimming pool but is terrified by the vastness and uncertainty of the ocean. Laura insists they were meant to be together. Tom isn't changing his mind, so Laura gets angry and leaves.
Lila opens up to Minnow about her uncertainty about Tom. It turns into a fight, ending with Lila yelling at Minnow to leave. Minnow goes up to the attic and, in defiance of her sister, tries on Lila's wedding dress. She hears Tripler and Jake stumbling into the attic, trips, and falls, getting dirt on the dress and tearing it. Tripler and Jake hear noises as Minnow hides. They decide the house is haunted. Jake confesses that his writing is going horribly and he should give up. Tripler feels the same way about her acting career. Their connection grows until Tripler kisses him. Minnow watches in awe.
When Laura arrives at the house, Weesie and Pete are singing off-key. Laura doesn't want to deal with them, sneaks upstairs. Weesie and Pete dark one another to streak across the Getty's lawns. Lila looks at her clock. It's more than an hour past midnight. A knock at the door. She thinks it's the girls, but it's Tom. Tom asks Lila why she loves him. Lila gives plenty of reasons, then asks why Tom loves her. Tom tells her that's the problem: he doesn't know. So Lila provides Tom with the answers. Then she gets angry, because she always has to be the one to keep cool — Tom's allowed to have his emotional freak-outs, but Lila never can. Tom apologizes, and they part ways for the night. As Tripler and Jake leave the attic, they hear Minnow sneeze. When they go to investigate, they see what looks like a ghost — it's Minnow, caught in a dress that's way too big for her. They run, terrified, across the lawns, where they stumble across a nude Pete. Weesie, meanwhile, has already realized it's well past midnight. Tripler and Weesie go up to Lila's room to apologize. Lila ask what happened to Laura. They pretend not to know.
Laura meets Tom in the woods. They reconnect with passion, kissing and professing love to one another. It's implied that they have sex. Back at the Getty's, Tripler, Weesie, Pete, and Jake compare notes. Nobody has seen Tom. Pete wants to tell Lila he disappeared, but the girls convince him to wait until morning. If Tom is still missing, they'll tell her. The next morning, Laura wakes in the woods. Tom is gone. As she walks to the house, Laura comes upon Tripler and Weesie. They ask if she's seen Tom. Laura denies it, so the girls say they're going to tell Lila. Laura's forced to admit she saw him. Lila goes up to the attic and finds her disheveled dress. She's angry at Minnow, but Augusta insists it can be fixed before the wedding. Without Laura, the group tells Lila that Tom's missing. They explain the whole story, but Lila says it's absurd — she saw Tom last night, long after he supposedly disappeared. They think he's MIA again, but Tom approaches, surprising them all. Weesie, Jake, Tripler, and Pete all make a group pact to forget everything they did the previous night. Lila prepares for the ceremony when Laura approaches. She admits she slept with Tom. They get into a big argument over him. Lila feels sorry for Laura, who she feels lives a fantasy of unrequited love to avoid intimacy in the present. Laura insists Tom loves her and accuses Lila of selfishness for marrying a man who clearly doesn't love her. Lila tells Laura it doesn't matter anymore. She's marrying him in 10 minutes.
Panic-stricken, Laura watches the ceremony, waiting and hoping for Tom to stop himself. Instead, they recite sweet vows to one another. Just as they're about to kiss, it starts to rain. The seven Romantics suddenly start running for cover, laughing. The image freezes, echoing Lila's photograph from the beginning.
The script suffers from a very basic, uninspired story: in the first act, these old friends gather for Lila and Tom's wedding, and the triangle between this couple and Laura is introduced. In the second act, everyone gets drunk at the rehearsal dinner, and they lose track of a visibly uncomfortable Tom. Once they form search parties, the story should really start humming along, as these characters get thrown out of their comfort zone and start revealing more about themselves. They never reveal anything unexpected or interesting, however, so it limps toward a third act that spends all its time on resolving the love triangle with an ineffective combination of preachy monologues and melodramatic two-person scenes.
The writer relies heavily on dialogue to tell the story, but the dialogue is one of the script's weaker aspects. Every character speaks in lengthy, florid monologues, but none of the characters have separate voices. Young or old, male or female, they all sound like the exact same person. In the more dramatic scenes, the dialogue has the tendency to descend into melodramatic histrionics, making the characters seem shrill and irritating instead of sympathetic and interesting.
Laura, Lila, and Tom get a fair amount of development, but it's hard to take a deep interest in their love triangle. Laura's portrayed as the story's protagonist, but ironically, many of the harsh things Lila says about her in the end are true. She's selfish, whiny, and unable to move past a relationship that ended years ago (despite a few flings in between). These qualities make it very difficult to sympathize with her current plan to passive-aggressively destroy Lila and Tom's wedding. It's never clear whether or not she's doing the right thing, and even if she is, it's for the wrong reasons.
Conversely, Lila and Tom are not effective as, respectively, the villain or the love interest. Lila's portrayed as the wrong choice for no other reason than her wealth and her good looks, despite the fact that those things aren't inherently bad and she has a number of good qualities (intelligence, humor, humility) to balance these "flaws." On the other hand, Tom's indecision is manifested solely through staring quietly and not expressing his thoughts. It's hard to tell whether or not he's truly undecided, and it's never clear if he's marrying Lila for the wrong reasons or if that's just Laura's interpretation.
The supporting characters might as well not exist. Weesie, Tripler, Pete, Jake, and the entire Hayes family do nothing but provide filler between the drama of the story's central love triangle. The writer could have used the three romantic relationships to counterpoint Tom and Lila and/or Tom and Laura; instead, these characters mostly gather together to gossip about Laura, Tom, and Lila. The writer provides very little depth or insight into their relationships. Worse than that, she does little to give dimension to the characters themselves besides assigning them occupations.

While you all were arguing... did anyone go to the "Vanessa" site mentioned in the article? =)
Jeeeesh. Even scanning it would take less time!
Art is the selective re-creation or conversion of reality by the human mind into concrete imagery according to an artist's metaphysical value judgments. Real or imagined concepts are filtered and altered through the human mind to the artist`s hand to create an image or sound that did not exist before. The reason photography does not qualifyas art is that the process removes the filter of the human mind as an interpretative element. Although photography requires technical skill, in the final analysis it is only a mechanical recording of reality. "1. Photography IS art. Ignorant asswipe. It is the art that helps you fool minds into believing your crap, sadly.2. Concrete imagery? Ever heard of, hmmm, KANDINSKY or POLLOCK? They painted their own view on life, a diverse and beautiful, never-before-seen art.3. And, by your definition, you just classified yourself as being as creative and unique as a blank piece of pape
"Against:1) This is probably better than what Da vinci could have done with an Airbrush.2) Da vinci didn`t dedicate his career to Airbrushing techniques in photorealism."You moron, that didn`t even exist during his time! He couldn`t possibly have done that! Plus, how do YOU know about what da Vinci could or could not have done with an airbrush, you prick?

Prior to starting my education at MCW, I had the opportunity to serve as a project manager for several biopharmaceutical and medical device companies. During this time, I was fascinated by the advancing technology and creative approaches to targeting diseases. While I was challenged by my work in industry, I desired to become a leader in medicine and translational research.
Through the MSTP, MCW has provided me with the opportunity to expand my basic science knowledge and apply it directly to medicine. I was most interested in joining Dr. Alan Mast's lab due to the mentoring I received while rotating, which continued throughout my medical school course work. The Mast Lab utilizes an array of techniques to study Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI), which inhibits proteases in the very early stages of blood coagulation. I am particularly interested in studying estrogen and its effects on TFPI expression in disease states that are caused or related to intravascular blood clots.

Archive for April 12th, 2011
Late last night, congressional leaders released the details of its final fiscal year (FY) 2011 funding bill. The legislation included a total of about $40 billion in cuts compared to FY 2010.
Here's the good news: despite these cuts, the budget includes funding for a number of key programs related to affordable housing and homelessness, including:
- $1.905 billion for HUD's McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants program, a $40 million increase over FY 2010;
- $50 million for new HUD – VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program vouchers to house an estimated 7,690 additional homeless veterans;
- No funding for Housing and Services for Homeless Persons Demonstration vouchers;
- $116 million for Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) programs, equal to the FY 2010 level;
- $18.4 billion for Section 8 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, enough to fund all existing vouchers; and
- $3.3 billion for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a $650 million decrease from FY 2010.
The full text of the legislation is available here.
The House is expected to vote on the legislation tomorrow and the Senate will likely vote on the bill on Thursday. It's expected to pass both houses be signed by President Obama.
We at the Alliance are grateful and excited that, amid all the talk of cuts cuts cuts, Congress recognized the importance of homeless assistance programs. Although these funding levels won't be enough to adequately implement the HEARTH Act or meet the needs of all the people who require help, this increase in McKinney-Vento funding and the HUD-VASH grants is a testament to the congressional understanding that homeless assistance is imperative.
And finally, we're grateful for YOUR hard work this year. Without our advocacy team educating Members of Congress about the important these programs, no such increases would've made it through the contentious budget process – we're sure of that! We're counting on you to keep up the hard work as we begin working on [very shortly!] the FY 2012 appropriations process.

Ventura wrestles with accepting $2.3 million grant
The Ventura City Council is thinking twice about a $2.3 million federal grant that would let it hire nine firefighters and reopen a fire station it closed last year.
The council voted 7-0 on Monday to delay for two weeks a decision on whether to accept the grant. The grant would cover only two-thirds of the cost to keep the station open for three years, so the city must pay $1.2 million of its own funds if it accepts the money.
That means the city would have to cut $400,000 a year from the rest of its budget for the next three years, City Manager Rick Cole told the council Monday.
"I still support the enhancement to public safety that accepting this grant represents, but I need to be candid with the council and to apologize to the council that I can't tell you today that I have a path for us to be able to afford this $400,000 or so that will have to be cut elsewhere," he said.
Cole said he will return to the council in two weeks with a detailed report on what services might have to be cut to save $400,000 a year.
"Trusting that we're going to find the money somewhere is what gets everyone in trouble," Councilwoman Christy Weir said. "It's our job to choose between painful options, so give us some options, and we will choose what's worth it and what's not."
Councilman Neal Andrews voted for the two-week delay but said he also would be fine with accepting the grant immediately. Instead of cutting programs, he said, the city should renegotiate with its unions to cut back on salaries and benefits.
"The problem has been that we've made wrong choices in the past," he said. "We need to change the compensation and benefit system that is driving all of our finances here."
Last year, budget cuts forced the city to close Fire Station No. 4, one of its six fire stations. Since then, the Ventura Fire Department's performance has suffered. The department aims to respond to emergency calls within five minutes. Citywide, it reaches that goal 51 percent of the time, but in the east Ventura area around Fire Station No. 4, it responded within five minutes 16 percent of the time last year.
The city applied for the Department of Homeland Security grant last year and learned in August that it had won the money. It has until Nov. 6 to decide whether to accept it, Fire Chief Kevin Rennie told the council.
If it accepts the grant, the city has a few options for staffing the firehouse. It could hire three to nine firefighters for part-time or full-time staffing at a cost ranging from $512,000 to $1.5 million in city money.
The option urged by Rennie and the department was to return the station to normal, full-time operation with nine firefighters at a city cost of $1.2 million over three years.
The council members all said they planned to support the grant once they decide on the cuts to be made elsewhere.
"I'm very reluctant to watch a grant like this slip through our fingers when we have an opportunity," Councilman Carl Morehouse said.
"This is sorely needed."

Slots or not? Estero Council of Community Leaders hears both sides
Representatives for and against slots make their case for Lee County
It's an emotionally charged issue with strong supporters on both sides. Representatives from Lee Says No and Lee Says Yes faced off at the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) Oct. 12, hoping to persuade Estero citizens before they vote on a ballot referendum Nov. 6.
If approved, ordinance 12-13 would allow slot machines at Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Racing and Poker in Bonita Springs. However, even if the measure passes locally, slot machines could not go in without approval from the state legislature, which some say is not likely to happen before the year 2014.
Isadore Havenick asked Estero leaders to support his family's efforts to grow the business which his grandfather started operating in 1957. He said the greyhound track cannot secure a loan to expand into an "entertainment destination" without electronic slot machines.
"My father was the one who got the gambling movement going in the state of Florida," Havenick said. "It's something my family is very passionate about."
Havenick said the business is losing $2.5 million to $3 million a year just running dogs and struggles to compete with other forms of gambling which already exist in the county, such as the Seminole Casino, corner store casino games and the Florida Lottery.
"It's bigger than gaming," he said, choosing to equate the issue with economic development. "Gaming is already here. It's in your community, and you didn't get a say in it."
Mark Andrews, chairman of Lee Says No to Predatory Gambling and the national organization Casino Watch, said slot machines are more dangerous than other forms of gambling and are much more likely to induce addiction.
"When slot machines come to town, it's a different ballgame," he said. "You all know what our grandkids do in front of video games. They get mesmorized. Slot machines are the adult version. Addiction to gambling is a very, very serious addiction, and it's an addiction that's hidden. You play to extinction."
Although Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott has indicated support for slots at the dog track, the Florida Sheriff's Association has opposed expansion of all forms of gambling in the state, saying national studies show casino-style gambling creates additional crime, including burglary, larceny and auto thefts by compulsive gamblers needing to feed their addiction.
Havenick countered that crime has decreased within a two-mile radius of the Magic City Casino, which his family operates in Miami, since the casino added slot machines and expanded in 2008. He attributes this to an increased police presence, which the casino funds.
"We are the largest employer of off-duty police officers in Miami," he noted.
If the referendum passes and slot machines are allowed, Havenick said the family will turn the dog track into an entertainment destination, including bars, restaurants and an outdoor ampitheater. The expansion and renovation would create 500 permanent jobs, plus an additional 900 construction jobs, he said.
He's also promised both the city of Bonita Springs and Lee County a 1.5 percent cut of the profits, a deal which is estimated to be worth more than $1 million annually for each entity. The agreement persuaded the city and the Bonita Springs-Estero Economic Development Council to pass resolutions supporting the slot machine referendum.
Lee County Commissioner Frank Mann was the lone dissenting vote when the Board of County Commissioners agreed to put the measure on the ballot. He said Havenick brought a skilled lobbyist to commissioners' offices to persuade them, but Mann is ideologically opposed to casino-style gambling.
"I just don't think this is the way I want to see Lee County headed," Mann said. "I don't want this for my children and grandchildren."
Mann said he does not believe Lee County needs casino gambling and slot machines to boost its economy. It has been one of the fastest growing counties in the nation for the last 29 years due to natural assets like clean air and water, miles of beaches and golf courses, he added.
"Gambling, liquor and women will not bring less crime," Mann said. "It is a lie to say this will be a job creator and a positive effect for Lee county's future."
The ECCL decided not to issue a formal resolution Friday, instead informing its membership on both sides of the issue.
Andrews questioned whether fattening government coffers was worth the "social costs," saying it's never been the people demanding more gambling in their community; it always comes from a money deal between a private business and government.
He asked voters to consider whether it is right for a government to encourage a product which only works if its citizens become losers. Havernick answered by saying, "The state of Florida balances its budget off sin taxes -- gambling, alcohol and tobacco."
Of the $1 billion in revenues generated annually by Magic City, about $930 million has gone back to players, and $70 million has been split by the business and the government, he added.
Roger Strelow, the ECCL's new community planning director, said, personally, he is opposed to allowing more gambling in the area.
"Most of the studies show the people who gamble are disproportionately low income people," he noted, saying slot machines would prey on those who are already down on their luck.
Lee County voters will decide on Nov. 6. The referendum is the last item on the lengthy ballot, which includes votes on several constitutional amendments.
The ECCL encourages its membership to vote and tries to help Estero residents sort through all ballot questions, Chairman-elect Nick Batos said. Citizens can find an objective breakdown of the 11 proposed constitutional amendments at www.collinscenter.org. Sample ballots for each Lee County precinct may be viewed at http://precinctfind.com/pl_fl_lee.php.

Fort Pierce Westwood students give animal cages good scrubbing before school's out for summer
FORT PIERCE — Dozens of students at Fort Pierce Westwood High School teamed up not to party and relax on the last day of school, but to help out some reptiles, rodents, birds, snakes and domestic pets in the school's veterinary assisting academy on Friday.
"Today we house a myriad of animals here in our lab," said Lisa Davenport, veterinary instructor for Westwood's Veterinary Academy. "We have a small animal lab and we have reptiles, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits. So the students, because it's the last day, they are taking all of their cages down completely, cleaning and sanitizing all of the cages, getting all the animals set up for the summer."
Davenport will be at the school during the summer to provide care for the animals, along with students coming back to help out while earning internship hours.
The program has a relationship with the Humane Society of St. Lucie County in which the organization brings in dogs and cats, among other animals, for which the students learn to care. The program has been at the school for 15 years. "Their final year in this program they can (test) for a state certification to become certified veterinarian assistants. This year we had 62 students become certified veterinarian assistants," Davenport said.

Yet another factor of the situation is that the human body tends to eject the fibers and biofilm most often all around the full moon. ??
My expertise has been that the harder I attack the Lyme sickness, the much more skin eruptions arise.?? I have discovered that the greatest treatment method is megadoses of Himalayan salt (six - nine grams per day) which is really successful from Lyme illness as very well.
It is crucial to check with a Lyme-literate physician if you suspect you have Morgellons.
If you're suffering from itching and biting on your pores and skin, you may possibly have Morgellons disease. The initial factor that you will most most likely do is go to your physician. But, Morgellons is one sickness doctors really don't know about. They don't know how to convey to you to manage your atmosphere. They don't know how to tell you to bathe. They really don't know what to inform you to take in. And what's even worse, they do not know how to deal with Morgellons. However, you will go to the physician 1st and may possibly even be shocked that he/she will inform you that its all in your head-your imagination.
Not only does not your physician know about morgellons, but he/she also does not know about the other skin parasites like collembola and strongyloides stercoralis which item very similar itching and biting sensations. Now I'm not speaking about a little itch, I'm talking abut relentless itching accompanied by biting that feels like your nerves are currently being grabbed.
I initial encountered these monsters in the mid 90's prior to the word "Morgellons" was coined in 2002. The irony is that the monsters are also tiny to see. I experienced acquired my challenge from a dust cloud http://www.morgellonsdisease.net/ descending on me though pulling vines from a tree in my back yard. Inside of several times of that experience I, as nicely as my significant other, ended up itching like crazy. The only reduction was a in close proximity to scalding bath that provided aid for a handful of hrs.
That was the starting of "hell" in my daily life and it profoundly adjusted my existence for more than a 10 years. In the beginning I was in a position to acquire reduction from the indicators with substantial dosages of garlic, but right after a though even that didn't assist. How do you bathe? What skin creams or lotions provide benefits? How do you get skin parasites out of your bedding, home furnishings, rugs, and so on? What drugs and nutritional supplements support? Though your physician has no solutions to these inquiries there are genuine down to earth answers as well as a distinctive diet plan to get your everyday living back to regular.
We found small flying bugs, that we even though ended up mites, traveling about the household and assumed that they experienced some thing to do with our plight and hoped aid would be provided by using diatomaceous earth.
And guess what? My blood tests came again optimistic for Strongyloides stercoralis.

The Constitution at Home
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
In the continuing uproar over the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr., one of the nation's preeminent African American scholars, Cambridge police released audio of the 911 call reporting a possible break-in that eventually led to his arrest. Was that 911 call sufficient cause to give an officer the right to enter a private residence? Was a basic Constitutional right broken? On The Takeaway to discuss the issue is Darius Charney, an attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights.
For more on the Henry Louis Gates, Jr., listen to The Takeaway's stories, America, Still Not 'Post-Racial', Call the Police: Racial Profiling and the Law, and read Takeaway Contributor David Wall Rice's essay, Professor Gates Arrested? No Surprise.
Is the Recession Over? (Next, a Jobless Recovery.)
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Over the last two weeks, good economic news has been rolling in: there were big quarterly profit reports from banks and Ford and the Dow is trading over 9,000. Is the recession over? Friend of The Takeaway Dan Gross, columnist for Newsweek and Slate.com, joins us with his take on the economy, including the prospect of a jobless recovery.

America, Still Not 'Post-Racial'
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
On Monday, Henry Louis Gates Jr, one of the nation's pre-eminent African American scholars, was arrested for breaking into his own home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The charges have been dropped against the Harvard professor but the racial questions are still swirling. With the election of the first black man to the White House, many people thought American society was becoming "post racial." Joining The Takeaway to discuss race in America is Paul Butler, a former federal prosecutor, law professor at George Washington University and author of Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice and our friend David Wall Rice, a psychology professor at Morehouse College.
Read David Wall Rice's blog post, Professor Gates Arrested? No Surprise
"The police engage in these who's-the-man masculinity contests. And you know there are things you can do if you don't want to get locked up: you can not look them in the eye, you can be deferential. But sometimes, when you're a black man who's tried to do the right thing your whole life and still end up getting treated like a you-know-what, you do get loud and tumultuous."
—Law professor and author Paul Butler

If you've been waiting to spend millions on something you never thought you'd need, here's a record-breaking black diamond dress that's just begging to be worn.
United Kingdom-based designer Debbie Wingham has been touring the world and showcasing her designs all year. The first stop was in Monte Carlo in June, the second in Ukraine in September, and she plans on displaying her wares in Dubai and Switzerland later this year. Earlier this month, Wingham showed a collection of dresses, several of which were embellished with diamonds. One in particular was a hands-down showstopper.
The dress in question isn't just any ol' black peplum dress, but a fantastical creation made with white diamonds, and — wait for it — 50 two-carat black diamonds. The dress was hand-sewn, weighs 29 pounds, and costs around a cool $5.7 million. Yes, it is the world's Most Expensive Dress, according to the World Record Academy.
Twenty-five black diamonds were used on the bodice (which took six months alone to create) and peplum hem, and 25 more were used on the detachable shrug.
It's safe to say that Wingham's name will be on everyone's lips, and although she's new to us, she's actually been in the industry for a while and her designs have been worn by celebs like Kate Winslet, Hilary Swank, and Amy Smart.
So tell us, if you had $5.7 million lying around, would you buy this dress? Let us know below!

You are here
I found out in 2008 that i was HIV positive and i denied, i was in denial for two years then while in tis process ifell inluv with a very handsome and loving men. we started using a condom until he refused to use it anymore. im sorry but i could not tell him my status coz i was scared i would loose him and his ex girlfriend was HIV but still i just could nit tell him. 2011 i felt pregnant yoooo i was so stressed i tested again for the second time and +, i told him , he said "baby if you going to drink pills, where are mine then" i laughed and said i was joking. guilty conscience was really eating me inside. i had a miscarriage because of stress.
April 2012 i fell pregnant again, i went to the clinic, i found a very friendly nurse it told him the reason for my last miscarry and she asked me why i have not been taking my ARVs and i told her i was afraid my boyfriend would ask questions about it because we leave together. She told me to ask my bf to come to the clinic. yooooo stress again but one day i came back from work and i told him we had to talk. We sat down i told him the nurse at the clinic called me and told me i was HIV positive, i started crying, i could see the hurt in his eyes its like he did not believe what he was hearing he cried and said what are going to do now, there i was re-leaved i told him we could still have a negative baby only if i took ARVs coz my cd4 count is less than 350. Hev agreed we went together to the clinic and he tested negative i thought he was going to leave me since Hz not infected. He promised he wont leave me and we are getting married very soon, he has sent his parents to my parents for Lobola negotiants. I am so lucky to have him and i have been very strong to get the support i get from him.
HIV is not a death sentence, take your meds as told and everything will be fine dont wait until its too late. I am four months pregnant and cannot wait to deliver my baby. All we neeed is support not people who will question how and why what happen. this thing is like a car accident coz you will not know when the car will hit u, and ince it has you just have to accept it. I love you all and pray that God will keep you strong and always know that you are not alone.

There was a lot of great information that came out of The American Legion Washington Conference back in February.
For the second year in a row, we had a women veterans panel in the afternoon session to discuss the many issues that female warriors deal with and male warriors do not. There were many other topics that were discussed, such as electronic access for veterans to check their benefits and health care, rural veteran's health care, the caregivers program, the new PTS Coach phone app, the national cemeteries and veteran suicides. We are losing approximately 18 veterans a day to suicide. The veterans courts were again discussed regarding the need to have them in every state. And lastly, Laura Balun, national director for Veterans Affairs Volunteer Services (VAVS) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spoke.
Balun spoke about all of the great work that The American Legion family does with VAVS, but that we still have a problem with what the SAL is reporting. The VA is reporting that we had less than 20,000 volunteer hours last year. We know this is incorrect because of our consolidated report forms at 35 percent stating we reported over 45,000 volunteer hours. We found a few things that could be the problem:
These are just a few of the simple fixes that can be done to make sure our hours are getting reported.
In the middle of March, we went to Charleston, S.C., for the National Advisory Committee Meeting. The Sons are a voting member of this committee and the recommendations that are passed go directly to Secretary Shinseki for his endorsement. Some of the recommendations are that:
There were also many workshops this year, along with a representative/department training session. If your detachments can afford to send one of your reps or even your detachment VAR chairman, there is a lot of info that they can bring back to your state.
As we enter into May, we have the fifth annual National Veterans Assistance Day on May 19th. Based on our consolidated report form, our numbers keep going up in veterans and families assisted, and the hours and monies donated.
At the end of May, we have Memorial Day, the day when we Americans remember and honor those that served and died for this great country of ours. Traditional observance of Memorial Day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At many cemeteries, the graves of the fallen are increasingly ignored, neglected. Most people no longer remember the proper flag etiquette for the day. While there are towns and cities that still hold Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some people think the day is for honoring any and all dead, and not just those fallen in service to our country.
So on May 28 at 3 p.m., take a moment while at a cookout, being with your friends and family, maybe you are one of the lucky few towns that still has a Memorial Day parade, but take a moment to remember and say a quick prayer for those who served and died for our country and for those serving today.

New Tools Would Transform Diagnostics, Treatment; Save Lives, Health Dollars
BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A group of more than 40 leaders of academia, industry, philanthropy and advocacy called today for the Obama Administration, Congress, the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense to increase federal funding for research into imaging technologies for less invasive and more accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Meeting this week in Bethesda, Md, at a conference convened by the AdMeTech Foundation, the medical experts discussed strategies for speeding development of imaging technologies for prostate cancer modeled after life-saving mammograms for women. Advanced prostate imaging -- or a "man-o-gram" -- would save lives and an estimated $5 billion per year in health care costs.
"As physicians, scientists, educators and patients, we are personally concerned about the human and societal costs of prostate cancer. We firmly believe that more accurate imaging technology would lead to better patient care, including guidance for diagnosis, biopsy and minimally invasive therapy," today's consensus statement reads. "The AdMeTech Foundation conference clearly demonstrated that real and important improvements in prostate cancer care are at hand if we are resolved to increase the national investment in prostate diagnostics."
Conference participants also signed a letter to Dr. Raynard S. Kington, acting director of the National Institutes of Health, urging increased federal research funding for prostate cancer imaging diagnostics.
Today's calls for funding action adds professional weight to similar support in legislation considered in the 110th Congress (House Resolution 353), a recent letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Directors of the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute by seven Senators, and t

I was first alerted to his presence when Mom pointed out something had been chewing on pots of parsley and dill by her door. Our son, Joel, had brought her and me the herbal gifts for Mother's Day.
