Voters will decide dozens of pivotal local races across Long Island in the upcoming elections, including two top-level posts with no incumbent and three other executive positions with freshmen seeking re-election.
Among the highest profile races to watch is Democratic Nassau County Executive Laura Curran seeking a second term against her Republican challenger, Hempstead Town Councilman Bruce Blakeman. On the other side of the county line, topping the ticket will be first-term Democratic Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini running for re-election against his GOP rival Raymond Tierney, a former federal and county prosecutor. And Nassau has two countywide positions — district attorney and comptroller — in which the current office holder is not running to keep the job.
Also up this election cycle are all county legislative seats — 18 in Suffolk, 19 in Nassau — and a plethora of town-level contests. Local judicial races will also be on ballots, but local Democratic and Republican leaders largely cross-endorse each other’s candidates in these races well before the elections, leaving voters no real choice other than a longshot write-in candidate.
CURRAN V. BLAKEMAN
In Nassau’s top race, Curran, the first woman ever elected as county executive on LI, is running against Blakeman, who previously served as presiding officer of the county legislature.
As usual in Nassau, chief among the campaign issues is the property tax assessment system that has plagued county finances for decades, contributing to billions in debt and the New York State-appointed Nassau Interim Finance Authority’s oversight since 2000.
“Curran’s reassessment will hike taxes for years,” Blakeman said in a recent campaign ad criticizing Curran’s attempt to fix the problem and give homeowners $375 in stimulus checks from Covid-19 aid the county received. “Now she’s offering peanuts.”
Curran for Nassau campaign manager Shelby Wiltz blasted Blakeman’s criticism of the checks, which the GOP-controlled county legislature approved this month.
“Bruce Blakeman is out of touch with the thousands of working families still reeling from the economic toll of the pandemic,” said Wiltz. “Thanks to Laura Curran’s dogged discipline, the county is in strong fiscal shape, despite unprecedented challenges. With the additional aid of American Rescue Plan funds, the County Executive is putting money where it will do the most good: directly into the pockets of Nassau’s hardworking families.”
SINI V. TIERNEY
Sini, the county’s first-term district attorney who was elected with a mandate to reform the office as his predecessor Tom Spota was convicted of corruption, is seeking re-election against Tierney, a former prosecutor who questions if Sini is up for the job.
Sini is a former commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department and ex-federal prosecutor who has overseen high-profile cases against the notoriously violent MS-13 street gang and launched the office’s first-ever conviction integrity bureau. But Tierney says Sini’s office blew a chance to arrest the alleged drug dealers accused of selling the fentanyl-laced cocaine that authorities blamed for causing a half dozen fatal overdoses on the North Fork this summer — arrests, Tierney argues, could have been made before the fatalities.
“Tim Sini had at least four opportunities in the past 10 months to put [the suspected dealers] behind bars on felony charges and he failed to act,” Tierney told reporters during a news conference in September, arguing that authorities had probable cause to arrest the suspects before the overdoses.
Sini countered that Tierney is distorting the facts of the cases and blamed judges for rebuffing prosecutors’ requests to impose high bail that would have kept the suspects off of the streets prior to the overdoses. Tierney had also taken issue with New York State’s bail reform, which has resulted in some cases of recidivists committing additional offenses at a time when they would have previously been jailed pending trial on their initial charges.
“Our mission is to make our office a national model, to seek justice in every single case and to make Suffolk County as safe as possible,” Sini says. “We’ve accomplished all of this, despite the fact that we came into an office that was a mess, we saw the biggest change to criminal procedure law in a generation, and we had the pandemic. But despite these challenges, we’re getting the people’s work done.”
KAMINSKY V. DONNELLY
There is no incumbent in the race for Nassau’s top prosecutor since former Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas was appointed to the New York State Court of Appeals in June. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach), a former federal prosecutor, is running on the Democratic ticket, and Anne Donnelly, a prosecutor with the Nassau DA’s office, is on the Republican line.
Kaminsky prosecuted cases in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York for several years, then won a special election in April 2016 for New York’s 9th senate district seat after his predecessor, Dean Skelos, was charged and later convicted of public corruption. Kaminsky says he is the candidate to “keep Long Island’s communities safe and free from corruption.”
Donnelly, who has worked in the Nassau DA office for 32 years, is presenting herself as the candidate who will be “tough on crime.” She has made attacks against Kaminsky’s support of the state’s recent bail reform laws a focus of her campaign.
“My opponent is making us less safe,” Donnelly said on a recent talk show appearance. “I’m going to … prosecute those cases and not just let everybody walk.”
Kaminsky counters that he has criticisms of the new bail reform and discovery policies and has pushed back against his own party about them. He also claims Donnelly has not done enough to prosecute corruption as DA in Nassau while she was deputy chief of the organized crime and rackets bureau.
“There is not a single elected official that she could point to that she prosecuted,” Kaminsky said during a recent debate. “I don’t think there’s anyone in Nassau that would say that there wasn’t corruption to go after. You have to have someone who knows how to make the cases.”
Vying to replace Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman, who is not seeking re-election, are Democrat Ryan Cronin, and Republican Elaine Phillips.
Cronin is a longtime business attorney in the private sector who has represented clients in different types of financial cases, including several of Bernie Madoff’s victims. As comptroller, he says he wants to root out financial corruption within municipalities and special districts through the county.
“This is the exact job that you want a high-level business lawyer in,” he said at a recent campaign engagement. “I’ve taken on the biggest corporations and the biggest law firms in the country, and I won.”
Phillips has a background in politics and finance. She is a former state senator and former mayor of the Village of Flower Hill. She’s also served as a financial advisor for state Volunteer Fire Departments’ Pension Plans and worked in finance for Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Securities. She is critical of Nassau’s Office of Consumer Affairs and vows to audit it as comptroller.
“The hardworking business owners and contractors who are struggling to recover from the pandemic deserve better,” she said “As comptroller, I will audit this department immediately and ensure we get Nassau County back on the right track.”
TOULON V. AMATO
The district attorney’s race isn’t the only countywide law enforcement post with implications for Suffolk that will appear on ballots this fall: So is the Suffolk Sheriff’s seat, which is headquartered in Riverhead.
First-term Sheriff Toulon, the first Black man to lead the office, is a seasoned corrections professional who oversees the care and custody of hundreds of people incarcerated at county jails in Riverhead and Yaphank. His deputies and officers also carry out evictions, enforce court orders, and patrol courthouse grounds, among other duties. But managing the jail amid the Covid-19 pandemic has proven the biggest challenge of his term.
His opponent, Amato, could not be reached for comment and is reportedly not actively campaigning for office.
Election Day falls on Nov. 2 this year and the early voting period runs from Oct. 23-31.

Plans for new houses on the edge of Wymondham are being tipped for approval next week, despite being outside the town’s development boundary.
Persimmon Homes proposals for 275 homes on greenfield land between Spinks Lane and Norwich Road, opposite the Waitrose supermarket, are being recommended for the go-ahead by planning officers at South Norfolk Council.
The land is not earmarked for housing in the Wymondham Area Action plan. However, there is a five year land supply issue in the Greater Norwich area, say officers.
The outline scheme for 9.4ha of land has received opposition from Wymondham Town Council and 14 letters of objection from residents over highway and flooding concerns and the fact it is outside the development boundary. Councillors will discuss the matter on Wednesday.

DULUTH, GA — The Georgia Swarm emerged victorious for the second time against the Colorado Mammoth on December 22, 2023 at Ball Arena, securing a 15-8 triumph.
Goalie Brett Dobson reached a significant milestone in his career, surpassing 1,000 minutes played during the first quarter. Dobson’s stellar performance included 42 saves, highlighted by two extraordinary back-to-back saves without a stick, earning him a spot in the top 10 ESPN plays on December 22,2023.
The game kicked off with an explosive start for Georgia, as forward Lyle Thompson scored just 34 seconds into the match, securing an early 1-0 lead. The Swarm continued to dominate, capitalizing on a pass from Mike Manley and defenseman Liam Byrnes making it three-straight goals for the away team just 15 seconds later.
Shayne Jackson extended the Swarm’s lead, and Andrew Kew added another goal through a give-and-go effort, bringing the score to 5-3. The second quarter saw Georgia’s momentum continue, with Brendan Bomberry and Seth Oakes contributing to a 7-3 lead.
Despite a strong effort from Mammoth Dillon Ward, the Swarm maintained an 8-3 lead at halftime, with Bryan Cole’s goal adding to the advantage. The third quarter saw Mammoth’s Robinson completing a hat trick, narrowing the gap, but Georgia responded with goals from Jordan McIntosh and Oakes, restoring a five-goal lead.
Connor Kelly’s fourth-season goal for Mammoth brought the score to 10-6, but the Swarm, led by Bomberry and Oakes, extended their lead to 14-6 by the end of the quarter. Zach Miller sealed the victory with another goal in transition fashion, securing a 15-8 win for the Swarm.
Shayne Jackson led the scoring efforts with a remarkable seven-point showcase (1g, 6a), while Lyle Thompson (2g, 4a) and Seth Oakes (4g, 1a) each earned their place in the five-plus-point club.
With this impressive victory, the Georgia Swarm now prepares to face the Buffalo Bandits on the road before returning home on Jan. 6 to host Panther City for Swarm Box League Night.


Comparison of Pistia Stratiotes and Lemna Minor Plants Potentials in Bioremediation of Domestic Wastewater
Keywords:biological wastewater treatment, retention time, nitrate, phosphate, turbidity
Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and cost-effective biotechnological method of wastewater treatment that involves the use of plants. In this research work, the potentials of Pistia stratiotes and Lemna minor aquatic plants in treatment of wastewater was examined. The two plants were cultivated in the wastewater sample for a period of 10 days. Water quality parameters (turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate) tests was subjected on the untreated (influent) and treated water (effluent) samples at a detention time of 24 hours. The outcome of the analysis demonstrates that P. stratiotes effluent achieved a reduction efficiency of up to 91.9%, 68%, 79.6%, and 71% for turbidity, phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate, respectively. Whereas for L. minor treated water samples, the highest reduction efficiency for turbidity, COD, phosphate, ammoniacal nitrogen and nitrate was found to be 87.2%, 46%, 48.7%, 83% and 56%, respectively. Hence, the overall outcome obtained indicate that P. stratiotes performed better in improving the quality of domestic wastewater compared to L. minor plants.

Chester Bennington’s widow has shared a heartbreaking final photo of the Linkin Park frontman enjoying time with his family just days before he died.Molly-Mae Hague says she was the go-to hairdresser in the Love Island villa
Talinda Bennington shared the tragic photo on her Twitter page on Thursday, which also showed her and their family laughing and grinning wildly as they enjoyed time together.
She captioned the powerful image: ‘This was days b4 my husband took his own life.Suicidal thoughts were there,but you’d. Never kmow. #fuckdepression.’
The 41-year-old musician was found hanged in his home near Los Angeles in July and his death was ruled a suicide.
Talinda’s post comes amid her campaigning to raise awareness and provide support for those battling mental illnesses.
Her Twitter is flooded with a number of inspirational messages, as well as words of support to and from fans, often using the hashtags ‘#fuckdepression’ and ‘#MakeChesterProud’.
The Hybrid Theory singer was buried in a private funeral service attended by around 200 relatives, friends and fellow musicians, according to US reports.
Link Park were due to continue their tour in support of the album in North America just days after Bennington’s death, but the tour dates were cancelled.

HubSpot revenue hit $29M in 2011, company reports
Send this to a friend
HubSpot, a venture-backed "inbound marketing" software company based in Cambridge, Mass., published an annual report with some limited financials, Thursday.
The firm, which raised $32 million in venture capital, last year, says its revenues grew 81 percent, year over year, to $29 million. The company reports it gained 2,000 new customers during the year. The company's "service marketplace" partners generated an average of $75,000 in revenue, each, using HubSpot's platform, the company reports.
The 2011 sales figure disclosed Thursday is less than the company had expected. Last fall, CEO Brian Halligan told the BBJ that HubSpot expected to double its 2010 sales number, in 2011. At the time, Halligan told the BBJ of the company's plans for an IPO and large-scale growth in the Boston area.
The numbers were reported about an hour ago on Forbes.com, in an article that includes an interview with Halligan, in which he talked about the B2B marketing company's plans to serve larger customers.
HubSpot, founded in 2006, began by catering to what Halligan personifies as “Ollie Owner” companies, small operations whose 1-10 employees manage marketing efforts along with an array of other responsibilities. Since then, the company has moved steadily upmarket to serve larger businesses of up to 1000 employees. The next target: “Ernie Enterprise.” Large corporations, Halligan explains, are now ready for HubSpot’s products, a trend exemplified by marketing strategies underway at Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), one of the largest advertisers in the world. (Procter & Gamble is not a HubSpot customer.)

Enzymes are proteins that speed up the chemical reactions in your body. They are a biological catalyst that lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to begin. One common use of enzymes is in digestion. You have enzymes in your saliva that help to break down compounds in foods more quicky. Enzymes function to help the bonds of molecules break more easily. Enzymes are very specific to the type of molecules they are working on. A substrate will attach to the active site on an enzyme and the enzyme will turn the substrate into products.
Example: Maltose is broken down by enzymes into your body to glucose. It is easier for your body to use and process glucose.

SINGAPORE — Lewis Asia-Pacific SVP Scott Pettet has departed the agency to become corporate affairs head at Danone Australia, with the agency's regional leadership duties passing to Emma Jenkins in Singapore.
Pettet leaves Lewis after more than a decade with the firm's Sydney office, including three years leading the region since 2015. His departure comes after Lewis announced an investment plan that aims to double the agency's Asia-Pacific presence by 2020.
Jenkins confirmed Pettet's departure and noted that her leadership remit now covers all of Lewis' Asia-Pacific markets, which includes newly-launched offices in Shenzhen and Melbourne, to go with the firm's existing footprint in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney.
"My remit covers all of our APAC markets and I continue to drive our ambitious APAC 2020 plan to grow in the region, which we’re on track to meet," said Jenkins, who has been with Lewis for more than eight years in Asia-Pacific.
After serving as Hong Kong MD for three years, Jenkins relocated to Singapore in 2017 as regional VP.

At Triangle Vein Clinic, we are pleased to offer Venefit™ (formerly known as VNUS Closure®), a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes heat from radiofrequency ablation (RA) to close the varicose vein. Radiofrequency ablation has proven statistics demonstrating improved closure of vessels from that of laser treatment.
You will receive local anesthesia to numb the skin entry site on your leg and along the treatment path. A special catheter is inserted into the vein through a small incision just below the knee. The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy in 20-second bursts to provide controlled levels of heat to contract the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. The doctor will use ultrasound imaging technology to know where to guide the catheter. One small section of the vein is treated at a time.
You should expect the procedure to take 45 to 60 minutes, although we advise our patients to plan to be at Triangle Vein Clinic for one and a half hours. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure, and you should not drive the rest of the day.
Like most patients, you should see noticeable improvement in your symptoms and appearance following the procedure. About 98 percent of patients who have been treated with Venefit say they would recommend it to a friend or family member with similar leg vein problems.
After the procedure:
- The day of the procedure you should walk for 10 minutes every hour until bed time, otherwise elevate your leg. Leave the wrappings / bandages in place until the next morning.
- You will wear graduated compression stockings for a month.
- Avoid vigorous exercise for one week, then resume regular activity.
- Avoid inactivity for a month.
Request a Free Consultation:
Our goal at Triangle Vein Clinic is to help our patients achieve long-term vein health by providing high levels of care, support, education, and treatment. Join us in our friendly, comfortable environment for a no-pressure consultation. Contact us today.

We ask that you treat the doctors and all practice staff with the same respect and courtesy.
Please read our practice booklet carefully. Together with this website it will help you get the best out of the service we offer.
The first hour of the morning is the busiest time for our receptionists - please keep calls brief and try to call outside peak times ie call after 9.30am for all non-urgent requests.
Please remember that the doctor may not always be available due to other commitments such as study leave, holidays etc. Please remember that an appointment is for one person only. Where another member of the family needs to see a doctor - even if their symptoms are identical to yours - another appointment should be made. If you require a longer appointment please notify the receptionist at the time of booking.
If we are running late, please be a patient patient because on another occasion it may be YOU who requires extra time.
Please do everything you can to keep your appointments, tell us as soon as possible if you cannot.
Please endeavour to ring between 8.15 and 9.30am for an urgent appointment unless a genuine emergency arises later.
Facilities for examination and treatment are better at the surgery and the less time a doctor spends travelling, the more time is available for patients. Please do not ask for home visits unless it is strictly necessary. Please request a visit before 10.30am unless a genuine emergency arises later in the day.
The doctor has the right to decide if a home visit is necessary. The doctor may ask you to come to a surgery or arrange to visit you at home.
On several days a week this surgery is telephone 'triaged' first by a doctor or nurse. Many problems can be dealt with on the phone, thereby saving time for both the patient and the practice.
Please remember to check your cupboards before ordering repeat prescriptions.
Please order repeat prescriptions within plenty of time. Late requests place unnecessary strain on the system.
Please allow sufficient time for results to come back to the surgery. Remember to ring outside peak surgery times.
You have the right to ask for a second opinion and to discuss this with your GP.
We welcome patients who are interested in getting involved with our practice. This can either be as a committee member, or part of our email-based group. Please fill in a form at reception if you are interested.


For almost 20 years now, the city of Bloomington has been discussing the various issues of its Creekside Community Center at 98th and Penn Avenue. Nearly 60 years since it was constructed, it has gradually become more painfully obvious that something needs to be done to make it more user friendly to a much larger, older and more diverse population than the former elementary school was originally designed for. In 2014, with that in mind, the city hired HGA Architects & Engineers to evaluate the facility and propose solutions.
The study submitted by HGA in April of 2015 recommended that the old center could not be expanded or redesigned to fit the new population of users because the building was simply too old and the lot size was too small. The most economical course was to construct a new facility on a larger piece of land, specifically designed to accommodate the larger and more diverse population of user groups. The proposed new center could include a wide range of family oriented facilities such as walking/running tracks, gymnasium, swimming and soaking pools, meeting/conference rooms and offices, storage rooms, auditorium, library, weight training room, dance/aerobics studio, and child care facilities to name just a few.
With the engineering report in hand, the city formed a 17-member Community Center Task Force of user groups and residents and began to search for a site for the new facility. They very soon settled on the space across 90th Street from the baseball fields between Nicollet and Portland Avenues. Owned by the Bloomington School District, and with that property transfer yet to be approved, the space appears to provide an opportunity for the city to team up with the district to share the burdens and benefits of the facility. Soon afterward, in an effort to mitigate the burden on taxpayers, the city began to search for other partners as well, and settled on the YMCA.
In late 2016 the city recommended that the YMCA be invited to consider a partnership in the development and operation of the new center. In August of 2017 the City of Bloomington, the YMCA and the Bloomington School District entered into a “Memorandum of Understanding” to map out the details going forward with the partnership to build and share the expanded Community Center.
As a part of the same Task Force report, it was also recommended that the city solicit feedback by surveying the community to get a clearer picture of how, and how often, the facility might be used by the residents and user groups of the area. This would effectively verify or supplement the market research data included in the HGA report of 2015 and get an updated picture of what to expect user demand to actually be.
Going forward in the coming weeks and months, there will very likely be a number of opportunities for public comment and input on this slow-moving and very complex project. The amount of money to be spent was estimated by the 2015 engineering report at $41+ million and no one is expecting that figure to go down. The best news about this process is that it seems very deliberate and very open to meaningful input by a wide range of diverse constituencies.
In fact, at some point down the road, this may prove to be the model for how these projects should get done: very slow, very open and with as many partners as possible.

The state of Michigan is offering $500 per month to residents who agree to house illegal immigrants in their homes.
The so called ‘Newcomer Rental Subsidy‘ would provide the payment for up to a year for any homeowner willing to take part, equating to a total of $6000.
The state those says those eligible for the program include refugees, asylees, special immigration visa holders, victims of human trafficking, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Afghan nationals, and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees.
The program also states that illegals who have been processed as part of the ‘Family Reunification Parole Process’ from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, individuals with a pending asylum application, and other immigrant individuals on a case-by-case basis are also eligible.
Basically anyone who crosses the border then.
The program is being funded to the tune of $4 million from the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund.
In other words, paid for by taxpayers.
Michigan’s State Housing Development Authority has claimed that the program is designed to help immigrants “build a new life here.”
Executive director Amy Hovey has stated that “This program is truly a win-win, as it addresses the most pressing barrier to refugee resettlement by meeting housing needs while setting up families for success with increased employment and opportunity.”
Some wondered whether housing an illegal would make you an accomplice to criminal activity.

The Redevelopment Agency on Tuesday authorized spending $1.6 million to buy two large lots on the site of the proposed expansion of the Galleria shopping mall.
The lots span the block from 221 S. Orange St. to 224 S. Central Ave., where the city has targeted development of a third phase of the Galleria. The properties are owned by longtime residents Harold and Marjorie Nuckles, who live in a four-unit apartment building on one of the lots.
The agency last year offered to buy land in the area because plans to develop the site have been delayed by unfavorable economic conditions, creating a hardship for owners wanting to sell.
The agency owns about three-fifths of the expansion site, Redevelopment Director Jeanne Armstrong said. However, there are no immediate plans for starting expansion of the Galleria.

It is the season of handset manufacturers trading charges against each other and Motorola followed others in this trend as it filed a complaint against Research in Motion (RIM) accusing it of illegally using Motorola’s technology even after expiry of licence period.
The issues relates to a proprietary wireless technology owned by Motorola pertaining to Wi-Fi access, user interface and power management. Motorola says that RIM’s licence to use this technology expired in 2007. The two parties have till now failed to come to a consensus on this but RIM is still using the technology, alleges Motorola.
The company has now filed a case with the U.S. International Trade Commission. This is in addition to a lawsuit filed in a federal court in Texas.
“The ITC represents the best way to stop RIM from using the technology. The disagreement stems from a difference of opinion on the valuation of the patents, says Jonathan Meyer, lead attorney for Motorola.
Following Broadcom Corp.'s ITC complaint against Qualcomm Inc. in 2005, which resulted in a settlement between the bitter rivals, more companies have decided take a similar tack. Recently, Nokia Corp. filed a complaint against Apple Inc. in their growing spat. Earlier Friday, the ITC ruled that Nvidia Corp. infringed on three Rambus Inc. patents.
Motorola is seeking an injunction banning RIM products in USA.
The development follows Broadcom Corp approaching Qualcomm in 2005 and as recently as last year when Nokia accused Apple of patent violation.

“It’s the little things that count”
Short conversations are sometimes easier…
for people with dementia than longer conversations. Short conversations can leave us with a feeling of love and acceptance when conveyed with a gentle and loving tone and matched with like facial expressions and gestures.
Choose conversations that are familiar
Conversations that we are familiar with, that maybe we have had before may be easier to answer to for some people.
Here are 10 topics of conversation to have with an older family member or friend that take a minute or less.
Make a compliment about their appearance or something in their home. Compliments make us all feel good about ourselves and helps to reaffirm the choices we make.
Recite a saying or quote. Many sayings and quotes become quite familiar to people over the years like “Roses are red, violets are blue, …”. Many years ago I worked with an elderly woman who would respond to “How are you?” by saying, “Fit as a fiddle and ready for love” which is actually from a song of the same name written by Arthur Freed, Al Hoffman, and Al Goodhart.
“Home is where the heart is”
The weather is always a topic for conversation as it always seems to be changing somewhere.
Talk about current events such as today’s date, what “lighter” things might be happening in the world, holidays that might be coming up, or things taking place in your family or community.
Personal greetings like “Good Morning”, “How are you?”, “Have you had a good day?”, “I love you”, and “You make me smile” are wonderful conversation starters.
Read someone’s mail to them if needed.
Discuss what is on TV that might be of interest.
Talk about what family, friends, or neighbors might be doing that your loved one may have visited with. Talk about what is new with someone else.
Take a selfie with your loved one, then comment on it.
Plan a snack or meal together. When you’re eating together talk about how the meal tastes and what ingredients might be in it.

The Montana Supreme Court has ordered the Office of Attorney General Tim Fox (R) to rewrite language for the ballot statement and fiscal note associated with an anti-transgender ballot initiative that voters will decide on during the 2018 election.
Initiative 183 would force Montanans to prove their gender before accessing restrooms, locker rooms, or other changing facilities. Specifically, the measure would restrict transgender people to using only those facilities that match their biological sex at birth. It was proposed and drafted after the Republican-dominated legislature failed to pass a stand-alone bill limiting transgender access to public restrooms.
But the state Supreme Court found that the ballot statement and fiscal note did not adequately explain what the impact of its passage would be, including potential economic consequences that could be visited upon the state, and the fact that it did not explicitly mention that the measure is targeting transgender individuals.
The ACLU of Montana had challenged the initiative, arguing the exclusion of the measure’s economic consequences and discriminatory impact would not allow voters to make an informed decision on the matter. The Supreme Court Justices concurred with that interpretation of the ballot statement’s language, even as they noted that state law required the statement to be no longer than 135 words.
“This Court has upheld ballot statements approved by the Attorney General as long as they employ ‘ordinary plain language, explaining the general purpose of the issues submitted in language that is true and impartial, and [are] not argumentative or likely to create prejudice either for or against the issue,'” the court’s ruling reads.
“As long as the Attorney General’s wording ‘fairly states to the voters what is proposed within the Initiative, discretion as to the choice of language . . . is entirely his.’ However, a court must intervene when a ballot statement’s language would ‘prevent a voter from casting an intelligent and informed ballot.'”
Fox’s office must now revise the ballot statement and fiscal note to comply with the Supreme Court’s order, including mentioning economic consequences and the impact of the initiative on the transgender community, both of which were specifically mentioned in the opinion.
“The original description did not mention the word ‘transgender,’ but it is undeniable that I-183 will operate to banish transgender Montanans from full and equal participation in public life,” Caitlin Borgmann, the executive director of the ACLU of Montana, said in a statement. “Moreover, I-183 carried significant financial risk for Montana’s state and local economies. North Carolina took a projected $3.76 billion hit to its economy when it passed a similar anti-transgender law. Montana voters are entitled to cast informed ballots. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling, the true effect of the initiative must now be made clear to voters.”
ACLU of Montana Legal Director Alex Rate hailed the Supreme Court’s decision as an “important step forward.” Rate also left open the door to a possible legal challenge should the ballot initiative be approved.
Additionally, other LGBTQ advocates are expected to challenge the validity of signatures from registered voters that are required to get the measure placed on next year’s ballot. Those signatures are currently being gathered by backers of I-183.
“The Supreme Court has ensured that when Montanans vote on I-183 and decide whether or not to legalize discrimination, they will be informed about the societal and economic costs for regulations that target our transgender friends and neighbors,” Rate said. “Rest assured, the ACLU of Montana will continue to investigate any and all avenues available to ensure the I-183 never becomes law.”

This one will definitely rock your socks off with flavor. I had planned on having pork tenderloin medallions with mashed potatoes, and when I poured on the store bought marinade onto the pork, it smelled more “Italian-ish” than I thought it would. So the thoughts started on what I could do with potatoes to compliment it, because the mashed potatoes did not seem to go with that marinade. Then it came to me…potatoes that are like garlic bread! Easy and tasty!
4 baking potatoes; you will need one potato per person
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon parsley
2 cloves roasted garlic, chopped (powdered garlic works just fine…but add and taste; start with a 1/2 teaspoon before adding more)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan
Scrub potatoes thoroughly, dry, and place in a microwave safe dish. Poke holes all over the potatoes and cook in microwave, on high, for 5 minutes per side. Cooking time total of 10 minutes. When the potatoes are done, a knife should slide right through the center of the potato.
Dont have a microwave or have more time to bake them? Great! Simply place the pierced potatoes in the oven for 60 minutes at 400 degrees. Let cool slightly before slicing in half.
Microwaved potatoes also look a little wrinkly when they come out, so that’s another way to tell they are ready. And yes, that is a Mickey Mouse trivet in case you were wondering…
I let them cool slightly and then slice in half. Preheat the broiler for the oven. If you have settings for the broiler, I used a ‘low’ broiler settling, but high works too, just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. Broilers are a great cooking tool to have, but they can burn your food to a crisp quickly!
Add the parsley and garlic to the melted butter, and brush onto split potatoes. Then top with cheese and broil until the cheese is slightly browned and bubbly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Dig in and enjoy!

Where the 'P-E-N' isn't mightier than the 'S-W-O-R-D'
by Jon Mundy 9/4/2014
Genre: Multiplayer, Word game
Each game of SpellBounders
is quite literally a battle of words.
We can boil its premise down to one simple sentence: multiplayer Scrabble
with fantasy RPG trappings.
Of course, Spellwood
came up with a similar idea about a year and a half ago, but InsaneRoot's effort is still well worth a look.
Unlike Three Rings Design's take on the king of word games, SpellBounders
isn't playing for laughs, and it doesn't pander to those who want a nice gentle tutorial mode or even a single-player campaign.
SpellBounders tinkers with the Scrabble template with mixed results, but it's never less than a thoroughly entertaining multiplayer word game

Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday denied that systemic racism was a factor in the police shooting of unarmed black men amid months of national protests against racial injustice and police brutality, NBC News reports.
"I believe there seems to be a phenomenon in the country where African Americans feel like they are being treated when they are frequently stopped as suspects by the police before they are treated as citizens," Barr told CNN in a Interview on Wednesday. "I don't think this necessarily reflects any deeply ingrained racism in police departments or in most police officers … I think people work on stereotypes a lot and I think law enforcement needs to take extra precautions to achieve this . " Sure, we don't reduce people to stereotypes, we treat them as individuals. "

Activists that are occupying George Floyd Square have turned the area into an autonomous zone and refuse to leave the area until their demands are met, according to Fox News.
The protesters have 24 demands that they want to be met.
George Floyd died in May last year.
Dereck Chauvin was just found guilty on all charges for the murder of Floyd.
Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
George Floyd Square has remained closed off since May last year.
Activists and protesters build a shine to commemorate Floyd at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue.
City officials have previously stated that the intersection would reopen after the trial.
The activists are calling for the three other officers that were around during the time that Chauvin was kneeling down on Floyd’s neck to be held accountable for not stepping in.
“The current state of the intersection known as George Floyd Square is contributing to the peace and safety of the surrounding neighborhoods.”
“Amid ongoing threats of White Supremacist violence, in the absence of justice, the barricades and community structures at 38th and Chicago should remain through the trial of all four officers.”
“It’s problematic to misconstrue police brutality as progress toward racial healing.”
The George Floyd memorial is an "autonomous zone" with several blocks controlled by activists. Police don't even go in. We tried to respectfully get video-but left after two people confronted us near the barricades.

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said, “I cannot allow that to happen,” Arradondo said. “Our men and women will continue to show up and respond and be the guardians of that community when they call us for help.”
From Fox News:
In announcing the decision in February to reopen the intersection at the conclusion of Chauvin’s trial, Mayor Jacob Frey said the barricades that had once been used to protect people and art were instead being used to hide illicit activity. He said the area could not be an autonomous zone, where police were prevented from entering.
A spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department denied to Fox News the existence of an autonomous zone in September 2020, but said at the time that crowds had interrupted police and medical responders.
In one instance in August 2020, police took 14 minutes to respond to a man who was attacked down the street from the autonomous zone during an attempted robbery, KSTP-TV reported.
In March of this year, one person was fatally shot in the area of the memorial site, according to local affiliate FOX 9.
Police received a 911 call on March 6 about two people who were shot at East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue. The callers reportedly told officers they would bring the victim to the memorial’s perimeter, but officers arrived and learned the wounded person had already been taken to a hospital.
The victim, a man in his 30s, could not be saved, according to the report. Police could not immediately locate the second victim, whether at the hospital or at the scene, where police said they experienced “interference” from people there, FOX 9 reported.
Soon after, NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin was approached and threatened by two people from the autonomous zone, with one of the people telling him he was going to “be in bad situation in a second.”
“You need to get out of here,” the person told Entin in video posted online. “I don’t give a f— who you are. You’ve been called out for who you are. You need to get in your car and go.”

For no real reason, today feels like a good date to announce some upcoming features in JJ2+, to be released whenever GOG gives us the signal by lighting bonfires across a series of majestic mountaintops.
Sometimes people turn on 8-bit color because sometimes it makes the game run a little bit faster than 16-bit color. Well, logically, shouldn’t 4-bit color run even faster than that?
When JJ2+ developers join multiplayer servers, our rabbits will now be drawn with only 50% opacity. We’re confident this is what you wanted.
Pestilence can now only be played in the week surrounding Halloween, and CTF only on your country’s respective Flag Day. To compensate for this inconvenience, a new Christmas-themed gamemode will be introduced where you give presents to other players instead of roasting them. It will be available whenever JJ2+ uses the Christmas Chronicles menu theme, which will be expanded to be six months out of every year.
New Playable Character: Devan’s Shell
The limiting factor preventing the addition of new characters has always been the countless new sprites that would need to be created. Thankfully, we’ve hit upon a novel solution: a character with only one sprite. By playing as Devan’s Shell, you will be able to sit in one place on the ground, until you are shot, at which point you will careen around for a while before losing momentum.
Replacing JJ2+ Developers With ChatGPT
People do say that ChatGPT can write code actually, but I’ve never experimented with that, so, uh, instead… let’s say that we’re introducing a new form where you can type your feature requests, and if you use it, an advanced text parsing AI will automatically tell you why we won’t be implementing your idea.
Sponsored LevelList Suggestions
Pay us $8 a month and everyone’s servers will periodically cycle to your levels.
To attract a younger playerbase, we’re going to rename Last Rabbit Standing to Lit Rabbit Stanning.
Improved Controller Support
But, like, only for the Ouya.
Bringing Back The /bestpony Command
Y’know, in retrospect, 2013 was a weird time.
More Version Numbers Beginning With 5
We’re pretty confident that 5 is the biggest number there is, okay?

I'm a little too upset and depressed (gee, why would that be?) to do a long post on this story in Next American City now. This little video was made about NYC, but one can just fill in your city's name in most cases. At least most of NYC is still there, while so much of Pittsburgh's rare flat prime land, potential livable neighborhoods and tax money is gone.
"But despite all the obvious reasons why this sort of large-scale, disruptive development is not actually in the public interest, stadium developers continue to receive massive subsidies, even from the federal government. Neil deMause, author of the book Field of Schemes, is featured prominently in Stadium Status. He points out that technically speaking, due to the federal subsidies developers of new Yankee stadium received, Red Sox fans helped pay for the ballpark. The mechanism is somewhat roundabout; the city issues the teams tax-exempt city-issued bonds, a transaction that was made illegal in 1986, because it robs the Federal Treasury of tax dollars for private development. But, because the city has the teams pay back the loans in the form of PILOTs—Payments In Lieu Of property Taxes—they claim that they are collecting tax revenue, even if the federal government is not. According to Neil deMause, this mechanism amounted to about $60 million in (mostly) federal subsidy for the Yankees alone. Aside from the fact that this is questionably legal, it’s troubling that the federal government is unwittingly lining the pockets of developers who claim to work in the public interest, but don’t.
Back in October of 2008, right after Lehman Brothers tanked, and the realities of the banking crisis were becoming clearer, federal tax officials approved the use of tax-exempt bonds to Ratner’s development group, for the Atlantic Yards project. With that decision, millions of dollars of future tax revenue disappeared from our nation’s coffers, and Downtown Brooklyn will get 16 new skyscrapers and a few hundred jobs selling peanuts for 41 nights a year. What a trade."

UBI would create a “massive disincentive for people to find work”.
The new study, from the Centre for Social Justice, concludes the proposed policy would create a “massive disincentive for people to find work”.
It adds the plan is “unaffordable” and “ill-equipped to deal with people facing complex problems”.
The Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, recently said Labour could trial replacing benefits with a universal basic income if they win the next General Election.
A universal basic income (UBI) would see every adult in the UK receive a certain amount of money a year, regardless of whether they are employed.
The system would replace the current benefits programme.
Mr McDonnell said a UBI trial program is “one of those things I think we can get into the next manifesto”.
He added Labour’s ex-leader Ed Miliband is “really keen” on the policy being trialled in the UK.
The Centre for Social Justice report also suggested that introducing a universal basic income to the UK would make the poor poorer.
The study concluded that no UK government could pay a UBI of more than £6,200 a year.
The amount is significantly less than the roughly £10,000 a year in universal credit paid to a working single parent of two.
It is also far below the approximately £16,750 an unemployed parent with two children would receive from universal credit annually.
An attempt to introduce a UBI of £20,000 for every adult in the UK would cost the taxpayer £1trillion - more than the entire current UK budget.
The Centre for Social Justice said: “Universal basic income would not be an effective means of tackling poverty. It is unaffordable, ill-equipped to deal with people facing complex problems.”
It would also “provide a massive disincentive for people to find work and would be no more generous than the existing universal credit programme”.
It comes as the Government claims its controversial benefits cap is “working”, which newly released figures showing that in 50,000 households which had their benefits capped someone has now found work.
