Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Mass. competition factors into gambling debateBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
April 21. 2013 1:30AM
From last week's all-day public hearing on Senate Bill 152 and an all-day meeting with gambling experts, it is abundantly clear that whoever wins the state's casino license - if there is one - will surely have to up the ante if they are going to provide meaningful competition to casinos planned for Massachusetts.
Currently, the bill calls for an investment of $425 million, but it would allow the license holder to include in the total the $80 million for the license as well as land or site acquisition costs. Consequently, the company would only be obligated to build a casino worth about $330 million to $340 million.
With two companies willing to spend more than $1 billion for resort casinos north of Boston, a $330 million casino is not going to win the game.
The Massachusetts law requires a minimum investment of $500 million, including a 300-room hotel and other amenities.
Clyde Barrow, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, told New Hampshire lawmakers there are indications that more and more people who go to resort casinos don't gamble.
People visiting casinos but not gambling has tripled, to about 20 percent, over a period of less than a decade, he said.
Those people are going for the entertainment and services, such as spas and restaurants, because the casinos are marketed as destinations, Barrow told the committee.
Unless a casino in New Hampshire was willing to compete with the destination resorts, the company might as well open a video slots barn or racino like those in Rhode Island.
A racino does not jive with Gov. Maggie Hassan's description of a "high-end, highly regulated casino on the state's southern border."
The other situation abundantly clear is that the state has given itself an out if casino gambling is not working, although any such decision is probably going to be litigated if the Legislature decides to go forward and a casino opens.
Hassan's legal counsel, Lucy Hodder, said no license is for life, meaning lawmakers and regulators can decide to change their minds and up the tax, change operators, and even get out of the business altogether. That may not be terribly comforting to a company that may have to make as much as a $1 billion investment.
The bill is not coming up for a vote in the House until the end of May, so there is a long time for lawmakers to contemplate the ramifications - good and bad - of legalizing casino gambling.
Three legislative subcommittees begin work this week, with the regulations and revenue panels meeting Monday. The subcommittee meetings will continue for about a month before the House takes a vote May 29, giving the Senate about a week to react.
The prime sponsor of the bill, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, said, "No bill in the history of the New Hampshire Legislature has had this much scrutiny."

Not in this church: While lawmakers are doing their work, so are the gambling and anti-gambling forces.
A group of unions supporting the casino proposal - including the New Hampshire Building and Construction Trades Council, the New Hampshire Troopers Association, the National Education Association-NH, the State Employees Association, the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire and others - scheduled an event for this Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, across from the State House.
The luncheon was scheduled to have presentations, discussions and analysis of SB 152.
But Friday, the unions were told they could not use the facility after it had been advertised in both the House and Senate calendars.
In an email to Huck Montgomery, who advises the building and trades council, Parish Administrator Kristin Dunklee writes: "When this event was booked by the group NH Building and Construction Trades Council, there was no mention of this being a discussion on gambling, or we would not have approved this use of our space. St. Paul's cannot in any way be connected with this discussion, as we cannot appear to endorse this legislation."
The email was also sent to Jim Rubens, president of the Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling.
Montgomery called the cancellation a dirty trick - like you would see in a political campaign - but he vowed the event would go on some place near the State House.

Budget Sessions: The Senate Finance Committee is hearing from various departments this week before members begin deciding what goes in and what is eliminated from the state's operating budget for the next two years.
The University System of New Hampshire will make its pitch to Senate budget writers Monday at 11:30 a.m. The university system had its state funding slashed in half two years ago by the Republican-dominated Legislature and subsequently raised tuition and laid off workers.
The university had great hope with Hassan's election and Democrats controlling the House. Hassan increased system funding by $55 million, which officials said they could live with and would allow them to freeze students' tuition for the next two years. The House cut $12 million of that, and the push is on to persuade the Senate to restore it.
The Attorney General's Office and the court system will make their presentations Tuesday; the Department of Transportation will state its case Wednesday.
The Senate concerns are with revenue, particularly from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax, Health and Human service caseloads, money for hospital uncompensated care and for charter schools and school building aid.
The Senate does not like the 30 cent tobacco tax increase nor the 12 cent increase in the gasoline tax, so look for the budget to be trimmed.
The Senate deadline for acting on the budget is June 6, which is a week after the House votes on the gambling bill.
If the House passes gambling, which at this time appears unlikely, there would be little time for the Senate to add the additional $80 million from a casino license back into the bduget.

Senate Hearings: Two key pieces of legislation will have public hearings before Senate committees this week.
The repeal of the stand-your-ground law passed a year ago over Gov. John Lynch 's veto - House Bill 135 - is sure to draw a big crowd as it did for the House.
The Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday in State House Room 100.
The other piece of legislation this week is House Bill 595, which does away with the stricter photo identification requirements that are scheduled to go into effect in September.
The bill would essentially continue the practice used in the 2012 general election allowing a wide array of photo identification for voting. The new restrictions would limit acceptable photo IDs to state or federally issued ID cards.
The hearing on what would essentially be the Senate's 2012 version of the photo ID bill is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. before the Public and Municipal Affairs Committee in Room 102 of the Legislative Office Building Wednesday.

Kimball Petition:Former Republican Party Chairman Jack Kimball's petition to remove 189 lawmakers from office could eventually come before the House.
Kimball claims the 189 House members who voted to approve the repeal of the new stand-your-ground law violated their oath of office and should be removed.
Kimball, a leader in the state's Tea Party movement who heads the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, filed his petition with several county sheriffs and with the House Clerk.
Rep. Dan Itse, R-Fremont, said he intends to ask the House Rules Committee to accept the petition as a bill, when the committee meets again, likely in May.
"That's the only option now," Itse said. "It's part of my role as a legislator to explain to people the reality that a citizen doesn't just submit a petition. It has to be sponsored by a representative."
He said he will make his case and the rules committee will vote whether to accept the legislation.
Itse said there should be enough time to act on the petition if it is introduced in May.
"Nothing is going to happen too fast," he said. "The one thing about the Legislature is it is slow and deliberative. That is the nature of beast."
On March 27, the House voted 189-184 to repeal the controversial stand-your-ground law, which was passed by last year's Republican-dominated legislature over the veto of former Gov. John Lynch.
The current law allows the use of deadly force if a victim "reasonably believes" deadly force is about to be used against him. Such force can be used wherever the victim encounters a perceived attacker.
If the law is repealed, a person would first be obligated to retreat if it is safe to do so, before using deadly force.

Skip to comments.How To Hate The Non-Existent
Posted on 09/04/2007 1:36:23 PM PDT by ventanax5
By nature and inclination I am an aesthete: I can hardly think of Venice or Siena, for example, without an excess of emotion. And yet I have spent a great deal of my life among the utmost ugliness, both physical and moral. Moreover, I must confess that the problem of evil has preoccupied me.
One of the reasons for this, perhaps, has been literary ambition. It is far easier to make evil interesting than good. Depictions of good people are inclined very soon to decline into mawkishness, and make their objects as dull as they are unbelievable. Too much good repels us; we long for the feet of clay to be revealed. As Oscar Wilde said, only a man with a heart of stone could read of the death of Little Nell without laughing.
(Excerpt) Read more at newenglishreview.org ...
In philosophical terms, you can't have color without matter. Likewise, you can't have goodness without the person. So, let me guess, is it completely stupid to believe that absolute goodness exists without the person? Those interested in the contemporary view of good and evil may be interested in Chantal Delsol's Icarus Fallen. She says there is a prevalent understanding of what is really evil, but not what is really good.
I always find Theodore Dalrymple worth reading. Thanks for posting this.
With a name like Theodore Dalrymple, anyone would have a lifetime to appreciate the finer things...
Good post! This is a keeper. My wife, working in juvenile justice, knows a truly evil four-year-old.
I found one pithy nugget in this piece:
there cannot be real goodness where the possibility and temptation to its reverse is not present.
To those people who constantly demand to know how God could have created evil, or how He can allow evil to flourish.
It is interesting too that when I started to think of anyone I could present as an example of moral "superiority" (i.e., a "good" person to counter the many I know who are "evil"), the best example I could come up with was Mother Teresa.
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.
People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.
Anyone who LIVES this credo is without a doubt my moral superior. By her example, I believe Mother Teresa did live those beliefs.
Bump for a piece that deserves more readers than it's had.
I believe it's a pen name, but he's always worth reading.
I will pray for him.
Thanks for the ping.
What then is the basis for Dalrymple's perception of good and evil? He isn't a formally religious man. He isn't measuring these things against some sort of precise didactic standard. But they exist, and his recognition of that is, in my opinion, the simple and humble appreciation of something that defies analysis, eludes intellectualization, transcends philosophy. This is very much the arena of faith.
It is no surprise that his tentative suggestion that faith and virtue are linked caused such fury among those who deny the existence of either. I know them, and in my better moments I feel sorry for them - these are people whose own faith is nothing more than a bitter and desperate clutching at the dubious proposition that the world must make sense, and that it must do so on their terms. I don't think God works like that. I know for a fact that the world doesn't.
Perhaps one of the reasons that contemporary secularists do not simply reject religion but hate it is that they know that, while they can easily rise to the levels of hatred that religion has sometimes encouraged, they will always find it difficult to rise to the levels of love that it has sometimes encouraged.
That is, I think, true of all of us. The contemplation of God confers a necessary humility that the deification of the human spirit does not. There is nothing transcendant in the measure of all things by man - if we are truly all there is then an accurate appreciation of what we actually are must inevitably make us cry for the universe. Perhaps that is the source of the hatred. And if it were true, what possibly could be the source of the nearly universal yearning for transcendence? Human weakness? I do not think so. I think that the yearning for transcendence is a visceral acknowledgment of the God who caused it even in the hearts of those who do not believe in Him. It isn't a matter of intellect.
Just some thoughts on a marvelous article, and thank you again for pinging me to it.
...and sorry for the spelling errors. ;-)
Dalrymple is as good as essayists get.
"...while they can easily rise to the levels of hatred that religion has sometimes encouraged, they will always find it difficult to rise to the levels of love that it has sometimes encouraged."
All religion is man-made. God is a spiritual being, and he wants us to be spiritual, that is, to interact with him on his level...after his image and in his likeness. Love is difficult. Love is God's law...Jesus said, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. Love, from the Greek word Agape. Unconditional love. Love without strings. Love God, Love yourself, love your neighbor. That is what makes being close to God, like him, so difficult.
I'm truly curious if any of the participants on this thread have an opinion on that.
But to get back to the point, evil has no existence apart someone committing it, whether that agent is material or immaterial. In the comparison I made, I suggest that all things described as good or evil, whether they are considered perfect or not, are the attributes of persons. There's a faulty view that imagines goodness existing apart from the source of goodness. Plato didn't make this mistake. Plato taught that attributes of beauty in this material world where an imperfect reflection and that they were as they are through participation in the source of that goodness.
I hope that helps clarify things. Thanks for writing, Mark.

TAMPA — The game might've ended with Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic again doing their Road Warriors tag team impersonation on a couple Tampa Bay players, but for the previous 60 minutes of hockey that bulky duo teamed with David Krejci to dominate the Lightning.
Unfortunately for the Bruins, Krejci and his linemates couldn't overcome lackluster goaltending, inept defensemen play or atrocious penalty killing in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. So the Bruins came up short, 5-4, at the St. Pete Times Forum.
With their win, the Lightning forced Game 7 at the TD Garden Friday night.
The Krejci Line combined for seven points and 10 shots on goal, as well as a plus-6 rating, led by David Krejci's hat trick — which was the first in the playoffs by a Bruins player since Cam Neely in 1991.
"They were very good tonight," said head coach Claude Julien. "That line needed to be big for us and they were. That's certainly something that you can build on heading home. If those guys play like that again, you like our chances."
Well, obviously that line being at top of its game doesn't guarantee a victory because the Bruins would be on their way to the Stanley Cup Final if that's all they needed. Between tonight and Game 7, they're going to have to tighten up their penalty kill (1-for-4), continue their never-ending search for a power play that both sustain pressure and make the opposing defense and goaltender work.
They're going to have to find a way to not give up a goal on the game's first shot against, as they have twice in a row now, and maybe find a fountain of youth for Mark Recchi, who is now pointless with a minus-5 rating in this series.
Miraculous goaltending from Tim Thomas and the play of Krejci's line have masked some of the team's deficiencies. It's tough to say if Boston's top trio can duplicate their efforts from Game 6, or if that's not enough, elevate their game even more.
"I don't know what to say," said Krejci about his hat trick getting lost in the loss. "I think we battled hard, especially my line. I think the way we competed … if we're going to play like this, it doesn't matter who's playing against us they're not going to be able to stop us. We have to take the same attitude next game and try to do the same thing."
If by us Krejci means his line, he's probably right — especially at home with the second change. However, first-line effectiveness does not equal definite victory for Boston. So in Game 7, the rest of the Bruins are going to have to follow the lead of Krejci's line.

- Spanish GP - Race
'No controversy' over Hamilton's radio messages - Wolff
Toto Wolff insists he has no issue with Lewis Hamilton's frustrated radio messages in Spain after realising the changes Mercedes made to his car nearly cost him the win.
Hamilton was completely at ease behind the wheel of the W05 on Friday, but by Saturday he seemed to be struggling despite ultimately going on to claim pole. Hamilton led for the majority of the race but during Nico Rosberg's relentless chase in the closing stages he sounded on edge over the radio, questioning the timing of his pit stop and disagreeing with proposed tweaks to his front wing, asking race engineer Peter Bonnington "why are you doing that?" and "where have you been for the last few laps, man?" after a period of limited feedback.
But Wolff believes the messages simply highlighted Hamilton's desire to win races.
"You have to understand the intensity of Lewis is huge," Wolff said. "If you are alone in your car and you need to rely on information from your engineers you don't really know where the other guy is. He's on a different tyre strategy but you want to know and you want to find out if you're doing everything right.
"He's a very strong personality and on one side ultra-competitive, and sometimes words might sound harder than they are meant, and on the other side he's a very sensitive and very charming personality who is able to embrace the team. We have no issue at all.
"We don't want to forget there are millions of people listening and we don't want them or the media stirring up some kind of controversy within the team. We don't have any controversy here. His race engineers have worked with him so well and have worked with him for quite some time now. That's Lewis' character and we like him with every single bit, whether it's in that direction or the other."
In fact Wolff believes the main lesson the team can learn from Hamilton's messages is to look back at the changes it made to his car on Friday night, which could easily have cost him pole the following day.
"We take it very seriously because I think what we did was engineer the car away from the way he wanted the car to behave on Saturday. On Friday he was very satisfied with the car and then from FP3 onwards he said it was not doing what he wanted. You could see in Q1 and Q2 he wasn't performing in the way he was expecting himself to perform and I guess he just took it at the end, it was a Hamilton lap!"

Egypt is a very famous resort these days, its pleasing sea, sun and sand make one enjoy his or her rest by the beach. However, one can name dozens of such paradise places all over the planet. Moreover, some of us don't consider paradise to be of exact that warm and sunny way. Some people prefer snows and mountains, and these are their true paradise sides. Nonetheless, they themselves like visiting Egypt. Last year my friends and I used online Orbitz Coupons and bought the tickets to Egypt. So what is the true reason why Egypt attracts thousands of tourists all through the year? I guess Pyramids. What is that special about them so that their popularity does not fade with time? They are the World's greatest miracles. The only fact of their existence erected out of stone on the sand and preserving to these days with no significant damages makes society astonished and admired at their irresistible beauty. Some historians believe that those greatest pyramids of Dahschur, Giza, Meidum, Saqqara, Abusir, Abu Rawash, Zawyet el Aryan were erected by the local tribes. According to official theory ancient Egyptians were the first to invent lever to help them in construction. They were clever enough to position those levers accordingly in such a way so that to decrease dramatically human physical efforts. However, there are far more than hundreds of different pyramids spread all over the country. But the exact six always attract attention more often than their neighbors firstly in size and secondly in constitution. Is that really possible that those ancient primitives were able of constructing such huge and magnificent and quite odd edifices? As for small numerous pyramids it is possible for thousands of people together construct something referring to the pyramids out of small and unpolished clay bricks. But as for the great ones – that is hardly possible. While doing research one can find out that the great pyramids – the tallest and biggest in the World – were constructed during the reign of the Fourth Dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs. And literally in a thousand of years during next dynasties it appeared as if those tribes completely lost their miraculous skills and abilities in erecting pyramids, that time they constructed less beautiful and far simpler ones. Isn't it odd for such great civilization?

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
Leslie DePaolo,
v. Docket No. CR-07-237
Teachers' Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
Matthew D. Jones, Esq.
Massachusetts Teachers Association
20 Ashburton Place
Boston, MA 02108
Appearance for Respondent:
James O'Leary, Esq.
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, MA 02142-1206
Administrative Magistrate:
Kimberly A. Fletcher, Esq.
Leslie DePaolo is appealing the March 14, 2007 decision of the Teachers' Retirement System ("TRS") that her post-retirement cap as a dual member retiree is set based on the salary of her former position as a teacher, rather than on the combined salaries used to calculate her dual member retirement allowance. She appealed timely under the provisions of G.L. c. 32, § 16(4) (Exs. 1 and 2). Pursuant to 801 CMR 1.01(10)(c), Ms. DePaolo waived her right to a hearing and the matter was decided on documents.
The following documents are in evidence:
Ex. 1 - 3/14/07 email from TRS (decision letter);
Ex. 2 - 3/16/07 claim of appeal;
Ex. 3 - 1/12/07 letter from Attorney Jones to TRS;
Ex. 4 - 10/31/06 letter from TRS to Attorney Jones;
Ex. 5 - 5/19/06 letter from Attorney Jones to TRS;
Ex. 6 - 4/3/06 retirement application, Part 1 and Part 2;
Ex. 7 - 4/24/06 employment verification letter from Arlington public schools;
Ex. 8 - W-2 forms from Arlington public schools for 2001 - 2005;
Ex. 9 - 5/8/06 employment verification letter from Framingham State College;
Ex. 10 - W-2 forms from Framingham State College for 2001 - 2005;
Ex. 11 - 6/20/05 arbitrator's award;
Ex. 12 - 12/16/05 settlement agreement; and
Ex. 13 - 11/7/07 affidavit of Leslie DePaolo.
The following documents are marked for identification: as "A," Petitioner's Request to Waive Hearing and Motion for Summary Decision; as "B," Respondent's Brief in Lieu of Hearing; and "C," the January 29, 2008 letter from Attorney Jones that closed the record.
Findings of Fact
1. Leslie DePaolo, d.o.b. 1/21/48, was employed as a full-time teacher in the Winchester Public Schools, and, as a result of that employment, was a member of the Teachers' Retirement System (Ex. 13).
2. The Winchester Public Schools attempted to dismiss Ms. DePaolo from her teaching position effective October 5, 2001. That action was grieved and arbitrated under the applicable collective bargaining agreement. She was reinstated by an arbitrator, who found that the Winchester Public Schools lacked "just cause" for her dismissal (Exs. 11 and 13).
3. Under an award dated June 20, 2005, the arbitrator granted Ms. DePaolo back pay and benefits for the period between the attempted dismissal and the arbitrator-ordered reinstatement (Exs. 11 and 13).
4. The Winchester Public Schools paid Ms. DePaolo's retirement contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System for the years 2001 through 2006 as a result of the arbitrator's award (Ex. 11).
5. During the school year 2005 - 06, Ms. DePaolo was on a paid, authorized leave of absence from the Winchester Public Schools (Ex. 5).
6. From September 2001 through June 2006, Ms. DePaolo was employed by the Town of Arlington and was a member of the Arlington Retirement System. She held two paraprofessional positions: (1) as an instructional day teaching assistant from November 2001 through June 2005; and (2) as a part-time afterschool program staff teacher from September 2001 until on or about June 30, 2006 (Exs. 7 and 13).
7. On or about June 29, 2006, Ms. DePaolo resigned from her position with the Town of Arlington. Her membership in the Arlington Retirement System and her contributions on deposit in that system were then transferred to the Teachers' Retirement system (Ex. 13 and B).
8. On June 30, 2006, Ms. DePaolo resigned from her Winchester position (Ex. 13 and B).
9. Effective June 30, 2006, Ms. DePaolo retired under the enhanced alternative retirement program provided for in G.L. c. 32, § 5(4), "RetirementPlus." Her superannuation retirement allowance was calculated as a "dual member" of both the Teachers' and Arlington Retirement Systems, using the regular compensation from the Arlington afterschool program (Exs. 4 and 6).
10. Since 1993, Ms. DePaolo has been an adjunct faculty member at Framingham State College. Whether or not the earnings cap of G.L. c. 32, § 91(b) is calculated using only her salary from her Winchester position affects whether or not she continues employment at Framingham State College (Ex. 13).
11. At some point, James Salvie, General Counsel to the Teachers' Retirement System, told Ms. DePaolo's attorney, Attorney Jones, that he believed that the appropriate cap under G.L. c. 32, § 91(b) was determined by the salary for the teaching position in Winchester, since Ms. DePaolo's dual member retirement was implemented by resignation from her Arlington position and the transfer of membership to the Teachers' Retirement System; thus, the "position from which [s]he was retired" was her Winchester teaching position
12. On January 12, 2007, Attorney Jones wrote to Attorney Salvie asking about the earnings cap. Attorney Jones stated that a cap calculated using both Ms. DePaolo's Winchester position and the earnings from Arlington would be most appropriate and equitable (Ex. 3).
13. On March 9, 2007, Attorney Jones emailed Attorney Salvie: "Dr. DePaolo asked me to see if there's any response to my attached 1-12-07 letter. She has an opportunity to teach part-time at a state college and whether it makes sense to take the position depends of the amount of the cap" (Ex. 1).
14. On March 14, 2007, Attorney Salvie emailed back saying that the "original decision stands" and Ms. DePaolo appealed (Exs. 1 and 2).
Conclusion and Order
The decision of the Teachers' Retirement System is reversed. The earnings cap of G.L. c. 32, § 91(b) for Ms. DePaolo, a dual member, is determined by the salaries of both her full-time Winchester position and her part-time Arlington position .
General Laws, c. 32, § 91(b) provides that a retiree receiving a retirement allowance may be employed in public service "provided that the earnings therefrom when added to any pension or retirement allowance he is receiving do not exceed the salary that is being paid for the position from which he was retired or in which his employment was terminated." It is true that this provision refers only to a single position, not positions. But § 91(b) should be read together with the provisions addressing dual membership.
Section 3(7)(a) of Chapter 32 states:
Any person employed by two or more governmental units which have
established contributory retirement systems…shall…become a member
in service of each such system to which he is eligible by reason of his
employment in such governmental units and shall receive pensions,
retirement allowances or other benefits from each such system according
to the applicable provisions of such sections…
Section 3(7)(b) provides:
In no event shall the total benefits received by such member from all
such systems be greater than he would have received had his total
regular compensation been received from a single governmental unit.
The amount of any pension, retirement allowance or other benefit
to be paid on account of any person who is a member of two or more
such systems shall be computed and paid in such proportions as may
be ordered by the actuary. No pension or retirement allowance shall
become effective on account of any such person's membership in one
system until the date the member terminates his service in any other
governmental unit…
Section 3(7)(d) provides, in pertinent part:
…In no event shall any member be eligible to receive a retirement
allowance from one system while continuing in service in any
governmental unit…
Because of these provisions, Ms. DePaolo was precluded from receiving a retirement allowance from the Teachers' Retirement System until she had retired from her position as an afterschool program staff teacher in Arlington. I conclude that although G.L. c. 32, § 91(b) uses the singular "position," that mere fact does not mean that a dual member cannot use both salaries in the computation of the salary cap. To hold otherwise would plainly penalize dual members.
Although Ms. DePaolo's dual membership involved full-time service and part-time service, there are undoubtedly many cases of dual members with part-time service in two or more systems. To adopt the interpretation of the earnings cap provision as argued by the Teachers' Retirement System would mean that part-time dual members would face severe constraints on their post-retirement public earning potential.
The principle embodied in G.L. c. 32, § 3(7) is that a retired public employee may obtain pension and employment income from Massachusetts public sources that is equal to what she would earn in the position in which she was employed before retirement. There is no question that this principle applies to "single" retirement system members and there is no reason to believe that the Legislature did not intend this principle to apply equally to dual members.
Based on the foregoing, the decision of the Teachers' Retirement System is reversed and it is directed to use both the Winchester position and the Arlington afterschool program staff teaching position in the calculation of the earnings cap of G.L. c. 32, § 91(b).

A 15-to-20-pound, 6-or-7-foot-long Burmese python, variously described as albino, yellow or closer to brown with some yellow areas, escaped into a park in northeast Seattle, a situation complicated by initial confusion as to which park it had chosen, reports resident Dorothy Neville. Fortunately, after city police started tweeting people in the area about the dangers of this ambush predator, the snake, under the moniker Ravenna Park Python, suddenly began tweeting back: Just out for a stroll, er slither, on a beautiful day. Heard there was some commotion on the other side of the park. The python, whose owner named it Timid, remains on the stroll.
Not far from stands of huge redwood trees and often doused by rain, fans of Humboldt States Division II football team cheer on their team with an unusual array of helpers. An ax-wielding drum major cavorts in front of the crowd while some members of the Marching Lumberjack Band make music by banging on trashcan lids and sticks; if the band has what you might call a uniform, its hardhats and suspenders. Theyre joined by a buff-looking crew of four men and two women waving chainsaws; when the team scores a touchdown, the chainsaws get revved up to create a mighty din. Lately, the teams 7,000-person-capacity Redwood Bowl has been selling out.
Whats even more surprising is that the football program is financed without a lick of taxpayer money. Students each pay hundreds of dollars a year to help keep the bare-bones $650,000 football program going, private money does the rest, and the track team and its coach pitch in to clean up the stadium after a game. While the last decade in California saw ferocious cutbacks in funding for all aspects of higher education, Humboldt State can boast that it remains the states last Division II football team, and after a few dismal years, the team has finally begun to win, recently trouncing Grand Junctions Colorado Mesa University. In a region known more for marijuana culture and environmental activism than athletics, reports The New York Times, theres now a sense of pride in your team and your small town.
Congratulations, Death Valley National Park, for beating out Libya for the honor of being the worlds hottest place. It took a team of international weather experts to make the call, reports The Associated Press, which now allows Death Valley to claim hottest along with lowest and driest place. The group, which included several Middle Eastern countries as well as the United States, investigated a long-held record from Libya, now considered inaccurate, that recorded 136.4 degrees 90 years ago. The new and approved record was recorded on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, when the temperature reached 136 degrees. Recent sweltering days in the park havent come close to challenging that record, though it must have seemed sufficiently hot this July 11, when the temperature hit a high for the year of 128 degrees.
Writer Denver Bryan says Todd Wilkinson got it all wrong when this column cited his claim that hunting guides havent been hurt by wolf packs cutting down elk herds. Its not easy to locate outfitters who have downsized or left the business, Bryan said, but after a few weeks of searching, he found Lee Hart of Broken Heart Outfitters in Gallatin Gateway, Dave Hettinger of Dillon, and Rich Hafenfield of Big Timber, as well as others in Montana who believe that their hunting business has been hurt by the presence of wolves. As Liz Jackson of Cooke City put it, We see the time in the near future when we will no longer be offering elk hunts in this region.

WILSONVILLE, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 20, 2009 — Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), today announced that Fujitsu Kyushu Network Technologies Limited (Fujitsu QNET) has chosen the Catapult® C Synthesis tool for use in its design tool environment to implement complex algorithms in hardware that were previously processed by a processor implemented on LSI. Fujitsu's growing expertise with the Catapult C tool is also a key enabler in the expansion of their design services business.
Fujitsu QNET was able to dramatically cut power consumption by using the Catapult C Synthesis tool to create a dedicated hardware accelerator for mobile voice processing algorithm versus running in software. The resulting silicon implementation yielded a reduction in power consumption of 83%. This was made possible by the ability of the Catapult C tool to find the optimal trade-off between power, performance and area, in this case, implementing a design satisfying voice performance requirements while running at a lower clock frequency than the previous implementation using a processor.
Fujitsu QNET is also expanding its use to a host of application areas including image authentication and wireless processing systems. Fujitsu QNET is now aiming to deliver significant performance improvements to its image recognition systems by accelerating features previously processed on dedicated DSPs and implementing them in custom hardware. The Catapult C tool's ability to synthesize high-performance RTL from its original C programs is a key enabler for Fujitsu QNET to create differentiated products.
Based on the depth of knowledge and experience they gained through the production use of the Catapult C Synthesis tool, Fujitsu QNET plans to provide their customers with a greater value and development efficiency through their design service business.
"Fujitsu QNET was able to reduce power consumption and improve design performance of our LSI by implementing the RTL circuit from ANSI C++ program that describes complex algorithm, and Catapult C Synthesis was a key tool in achieving our success," said Mr. Hiroaki Yamashita, Manager, Development Division of Fujitsu QNET. "By the results we've seen and the experience we've gained, we believe we can help our customers achieve higher performance and higher added value in their system development, and significantly reduce development cost and time to market."
"We are impressed with Fujitsu QNET's application of the Catapult C technology in their design flow, and their knowledge and experience in IC design and ESL methodologies, especially in C-synthesis," said Simon Bloch, Vice President and General Manager of Mentor Graphics Design and Synthesis Division. "As companies deploy high-level synthesis, we are seeing steady and accelerated adoption of Catapult C given its ability to synthesize both algorithmic and control blocks and balance excellent results across power/area/performance."
About Catapult
The Catapult C Synthesis tool is the first product to automatically generate control and algorithmic RTL multi-block designs from a pure ANSI C++ source where both the core algorithm and interface are untimed. This productivity improvement gives designers time and freedom to automatically perform detailed design exploration of different micro-architectural options and interface scenarios to quickly achieve fully optimized hardware designs.

Stars pray for Randy Travis after brain surgery
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music stars and fans joined together to urge prayers for Randy Travis on Thursday after he underwent brain surgery following a stroke at a Texas hospital.
Travis remained in critical condition Thursday after surgery to relieve pressure on his brain Wednesday night, publicist Kirt Webster said. The 54-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer had been improving while being treated for heart failure caused by a viral infection when he had the stroke.
Nancy Jones, the widow of Travis' lifelong hero George Jones, paid a visit to Travis on Thursday. Stars including Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and Martina McBride and the Grand Ole Opry used Twitter to express their concerns and join Webster's call for prayers for the singer, a popular and pivotal figure in country music. Hundreds posted messages with the hashtag PrayforRandy.
"We're all pulling for you Randy," Brad Paisley said via Twitter.
The setback occurred hours after doctors said Travis was showing signs of improvement since the start of treatment Sunday for congestive heart failure and the insertion of a pump to help his heart increase blood flow.
His doctors said Wednesday in a video statement that his heart problem stemmed from an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus, but they have not released any information since.
Infections, both viral and bacterial, may start elsewhere in the body but sometimes can affect the heart, either because the infection itself spreads or because immune cells that are fighting it enter the heart and cause inflammation.
About 20 different viruses, including the flu, can lead to this so-called myocarditis, and there's no way to predict who is at particular risk, said Dr. Justine Lachmann of Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. When younger people develop heart failure, it's usually for this reason.
Most people recover from myocarditis, but a small number rapidly develop life-threatening illness — experiencing a domino effect as the inflammation weakens the heart muscle, leading to congestive heart failure, in which the heart can't pump properly. Doctors treat them with supportive care, trying to allow the heart muscle to rest and recover, sometimes by inserting devices such as the one Travis received to help the heart pump.
Heart problems can lead to a stroke and can cause other complications.
It was not clear what kind of stroke Travis suffered. The most common type of stroke is caused by a blood clot that travels to the brain. The other kind happens when a blood vessel in the head bursts or leaks. Stroke patients who get treatment quickly are usually given a drug to dissolve the clot that caused the stroke.
Drs. William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System in Texas described Travis' condition and hospitalization for the first time in a video statement earlier Wednesday, noting his condition had stabilized and he had "shown signs of improvement."
Hours later, he was in the operating room. Doctors had not yet addressed Travis' current condition publicly Thursday and Webster said in an email he had no further information to release.
The "Three Wooden Crosses" singer was in good health until three weeks before he was hospitalized, when he contracted a viral upper respiratory infection, Gray said.
Travis was admitted to Baylor Medical Center McKinney near his home in Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas, through the emergency room Sunday. He was transferred to The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano after having the pump installed via catheter.
Travis' illness comes as he's been trying to put his life back together following a series of embarrassing public incidents involving alcohol. Travis pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in January following an arrest last year and received two years of probation and a $2,000 fine. He was required to spend at least 30 days at an alcohol treatment facility and complete 100 hours of community service.
He recently made several public appearances, including a spot on the Country Music Association Festival's nightly concert lineup and a poignant performance at George Jones' funeral.
Nancy Jones flew to Plano from Nashville to be with Travis and his fiancee, Mary Beougher, Webster said. She played a CD of some of Jones' classic songs for Travis.
"Randy and George Jones were good friends," Nancy Jones said in an email to The Associated Press. "When I was dealing with George's issues a few months ago, both Randy and Mary were right there for me. I had to get on a plane and come see him. I love him and I know that George is looking over him during this time."
Webster said Travis is surrounded by family and friends, including his brother, Dennis Traywick, and his pastor, Jeff Perry. Kenny Rogers, the Oak Ridge Boys, Chuck Norris, Lyle Lovett, Ray Price and several others have called to check in on Travis.
The North Carolina-born Travis is a traditional country purist known for hits "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "I Told You So." His 1986 Warner Bros. debut album "Storms of Life" sold 3 million copies, and helped return country music to the sound of Hank Williams and George Jones.
"I always feel like he's part of our family, he's in our family," Keith Urban said in an interview Wednesday morning in Nashville. "And I was one of those guys in Australia that bought 'Storms of Life' and became a Randy fan very quickly in late '80s, and I really feel for him right now."

Recent issues of Psychiatric Times had articles focusing on psychiatric practice guidelines and algorithms.1-4 Dr Michael Fauman examined the extent to which they are used, how they are used, and studies that have validated their usefulness compared with usual care. This article focuses more on why psychopharmacology guidelines and algorithms are not followed and proposes 7 clinical scenarios in which the recommendations should be followed more often than they are. Major guideline and algorithm projects are summarized in Table 1.
Standardized care driven by evidence-supported algorithms is a model that has attracted the attention of the hospital business community.5 Intermountain Health Care in Salt Lake City has been using standardized treatment for 2 dozen illnesses, such as pneumonia, diabetes, and heart disease in its 21 hospitals and 90 clinics for many years, with robust improvement in care quality and reduction of costs. The business case for their approach is impressive: operating margins are at the very top of the industry.5 Thus, it seems likely that many of us will someday find ourselves working in care systems in which algorithm adherence will be the expectation.
Why are guidelines and algorithms not used?
Fauman discussed the many reasons why physicians object to guidelines and algorithms.1,4 Curiously, physicians often agree with the recommendations when they are presented to them separately.6 Nonadherence may therefore be a problem caused more by a failure of the health care system to provide reminders of the recommendations at a timely moment in the physician's work flow than by disagreement with the recommendations themselves.7 Ideally, they should be in an abbreviated format, but with the option to access the full reasoning and supporting evidence as needed. Clearly, the appropriate vehicle for getting the algorithm advice to the physician is a computerized medical record and order-entry system.8 However, the standard for how best to incorporate the logic and recommendations of guidelines and algorithms into such systems does not exist yet.9
Another reason for differences between what guidelines and algorithms recommend and what physicians do is related to the way practicing physicians make treatment decisions.10 Experienced physicians do not usually think through every decision with a systematic and exhaustive comparison of alternatives: collecting all possible relevant data about the patient and then considering all the pertinent literature. This kind of evidence-based medicine practice is too time consuming to be practical. Instead, physicians do a limited review of the patient's history and mental status, prompted by certain symptoms or historical details. They rather quickly determine the important characteristics of the situation, after which a solution may just "fall into place."10 Such "rules of thumb" are less cumbersome to apply than the "rules" of algorithms that are based on more exhaustive analyses.7
Clinical experience validates these rules of thumb, and they are assumed to exemplify the "art" of medicine. Personal heuristics provide efficient and effective solutions at many decision points, which may be as good as the recommendations of the algorithms. Indeed, research may establish the superiority of some of these other approaches. Physicians tend to oppose recommended practices that are harder or take more time than what they do now. In these situations, the experience-based rules of thumb may fall short of optimal practice.7
When should guidelines/ algorithms be followed?
Most recommendations in guidelines and algorithms probably are followed.4 The following 7 recommended practices, which seem to differ from what many physicians do but may produce better results, are listed in Table 2 and are explained and discussed below. ("Better result" is defined as either a better clinical outcome or the same outcome with equivalent safety but with reduced cost.)
Recommended practices
|Use clozapine after 2 adequate monotherapy trials of other antipsychotics in
|Make 1 medication change at a time, with adequate dose and duration of therapy.
|When there is no significant response to monotherapy, switch to a different agent
rather than adding a second medication.
|When initiating an SSRI, select an inexpensive generic for cost-effectiveness.
|Check for potential drug-drug interactions before prescribing.
|Use lithium in preference to valproate as first-line treatment for bipolar disorder.
|Approach insomnia as a symptom that requires diagnosis and treatment specific to the
Use clozapine after 2 adequate monotherapy trials of other antipsychotics in schizophrenia. Numerous lines of evidence support this recommendation, found in all schizophrenia algorithms including the International Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project (IPAP), the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), and the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Department of Psychiatry (PAPHSSDP). The latest Clinical Antipsychotic Trials in Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) data confirm this recommendation.11 Yet clinicians prefer to try many additional monotherapy trials, various combinations of antipsychotics, and other polytherapy.

The Parish of Sandal Magna
St. Helen's and St. Paul's Church
Serving Sandal, Walton and Portobello in Wakefield UK.
Parish Worship Pattern
We have six regular worship opportunities.
During August we have two worship services: 9.15am at St. Helen's and 11am at St. Paul's, Walton. Everyone is welcome!
Sunday 9.15am, St Helen's
This is a traditional service with hymns every Sunday, and a Choir every fortnight. Holy communion is celebrated three times a month, and Morning prayer once a month. The liturgy is mainly from Common Worship, but on the 3rd Sunday of the month we use the Book of Common Prayer.
Sunday 10.45am, St Helen's
This is a contemporary service with a music group. The style is informal and relaxed with Holy Communion once a month. There are groups for children.
In both these services, the sermons are often illustrated with visuals on the screens on either side of the central arch.
Sunday 11.00am, St Paul's
A traditional, relaxed service drawn mainly from Common Worship, alternating between Morning Praise and Holy Communion.
In all three Sunday morning services we offer prayer ministry after the service, and refreshments in the Emmaus Rooms at St Helen's, and the Barnabas Rooms at St Paul's.
Sunday 4.00pm Families@4, St Helen's. Every month on the 2nd Sunday, we cater for families at a convenient time, beginning with Tea, sandwiches and cake at 4pm in the Emmaus Rooms, followed at 4.40pm, by 40 minutes of lively, creative and interactive worship involving both children and parents.
Sunday 6.00pm Soul Space St Paul's
Twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, we open the green side door and hold a quiet hour in the Waterton Chapel, for those who simply want some space for quiet reflection.
Wednesday 11.30am St Helen's
This weekly midweek Communion is much appreciated by those who can't make the 9.15am service on Sunday. The service lasts 30 minutes.

Silverlight is one of the new web development technologies that Microsoft has been promoting. As a database professional, you might be wondering what Silverlight is and what it offers to those in the SQL Server world. I've compiled five FAQs about Silverlight that give you the essentials on this new technology.
1. What is Silverlight and is it free?
Microsoft Silverlight is essentially a technology for building Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Silverlight applications are based on the .NET Framework and are an alternative to using Adobe Flash. Silverlight provides the ability to deliver streaming media and interactive applications for the web and is delivered as a browser plug-in.
Silverlight 3 is Microsoft's most recent release, but Silverlight 4 is currently in beta and is expected to be available mid-2010. Yes, it's free.
2. What browsers does it support?
Silverlight 3 supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Silverlight 4 will add Google Chrome to this list. Both Windows and Mac have a Silverlight runtime.
At this time there's no Silverlight support for Linux. However, Mono is developing an open-source implementation of Silverlight named Moonlight. (Mono has also developed an open-source implementation of the .NET Framework.) You can find out more about Moonlight at the Mono Project website.
3. What can database developers do with it?
Earlier versions of Silverlight were targeted more toward rich media delivery from the web. However, Silverlight 3 includes support for data binding with SQL Server, making Silverlight a viable choice for building RIA business applications on the web. Silverlight 4 will provide drag-and-drop support for data binding with several built-in controls, including the listbox and datagrid controls.
You can learn more about Silverlight data binding at the MSDN Silverlight site. In addition, Visual Studio (VS) 2010 will include a new Business Application Template to help you build line-of-business Silverlight applications.
4. Can it access resources on the client system?
Yes. Silverlight supports building both sandboxed and trusted applications. Sandboxed applications are restricted to the browser. Trusted Silverlight applications are able to access client resources.
Silverlight 4 will extend Silverlight's reach well into the client desktop and will include the ability to print as well as read and write to the My Documents, My Pictures, My Music and My Videos folders. Silverlight 4 also can access installed programs such as Microsoft Excel and interact with system hardware such as the camera, microphone, and keyboard.
5. How do I start developing Silverlight applications?
Silverlight applications are coded in XAML and created using VS 2008/2010, Microsoft Expression Studio, or the free Microsoft Visual Web Developer. You can download the Silverlight runtime, Silverlight development tools, and guides at the Silverlight website.

Comments :
hi lydia!! natto again! :D waaaaaaa...durian chiffon sure bau dia ni satu rumah, n skrg ni kat mana2 blog pun byk buat kek chiffon ni yg ni mmg i masuk list :-) thanks for sharing ;-)
Hi Lydia,
Can i know the weight of 1/2 cup of durian puree ?
Juliet Khoo
Hej Lydia
You have great recipes.
Can you please teach me the best way to remove the cake from the chiffon pan. My cake always get stuck on the top. Is oiling the pan a good idea ?
natto, bila nak buat durian chiffon ni?? dah balik msia ke?
Sorry, I didn't weigh the durian. FYI, I am using 250ml size cup.
I think chiffon cake suppose to get "stuck", try to run a thin and sharp knife around to remove it. Do NOT oil the pan, otherwise your chiffon will not "climb" up and rise nicely.
I like durian but not yet taste any dishes using
durian to cook, so nice the cake turn out . I think i will try this recipe but my chiffon cake mould is 9inches, must double the recipe?
Eng Soo Kee,
This recipe makes 9" chiffon, so don't have to double up. All the best!
Awesome recipe. This is so unique. I will surely give this one out a try in the near future as I definitely love durian. The recipes are als very easy to follow compared to other recipes I have seen. It would definitely well with a hot cup of coffee made from one of my espresso pots at home. Thanks!
