State Senators Lee Zeldin, Roy McDonald, and Ken LaValle Host Autism Forum on Long Island
Central Islip, N.Y. – State Senator Lee M. Zeldin (R, C, I- Shirley), State Senator Roy J. McDonald (R- Saratoga), Chairman of the State Senate Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee, and State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle (R, C, I- Port Jefferson) hosted an Autism and similar type developmental disabilities forum this past Tuesday, September 13, 2011, at the Touro Law Center in Central Islip. Senator Zeldin, and his colleagues Senator McDonald and Senator LaValle, talked with and listened to experts, educators, service providers, individuals and their families on issues relating to autism and developmental disabilities.
"I was very pleased when Senator McDonald offered to co-host this important forum on Autism with myself and Senator LaValle," said Senator Zeldin.
"This is something that affects countless families here on Long Island and forums such as these provide us in the State Legislature with the necessary information to craft effective legislation to help in this cause.
Senator McDonald has been a leading advocate for the Autism Community in the Senate and with his leadership and unique expertise we can make real progress."
"Long Island has seen some of the highest prevalence rates for Autism not only in New York State but across the country, it's important that we provide opportunities such as this forum to families who have a loved one that has been diagnosed to get information and tell their stories," said Senator McDonald. "I know firsthand the struggle that families go through with autism and disabilities, working together we can make things better for these people and that's our job as elected officials."
In June, the State Senate unanimously passed landmark autism insurance reform legislation (S.4005A), sponsored by Senator Charles Fuschillo (R- Merrick), that would enable individuals with autism spectrum disorders to receive insurance coverage for screening, diagnosis and treatment.
"Raising a child with autism places a tremendous amount of stress on families," said Senator LaValle. "When Governor Cuomo signs into law the legislation we passed this past session, New York will join 25 other states that require insurance companies to provide coverage for the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of autism spectrum disorders, including behavioral health treatments, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy."
Senator Zeldin has worked with Senator McDonald and Senator Lavalle this year to create a forum for Long Island residents. The experts and service providers at today's event included; Diane Cahill, the NYS Advocacy Chair for Autism Speaks and President of the Autism Coalition of Long Island, GinaMarie Dowling, a Regional Coordinator for Parent to Parent of NYS, Bea Petersen, of the EJ Autism Foundation, Mindy Cassano, of Helping Hands Children Services, Anita Dowd- Neufield, of Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (F.R.E.E.), Dan Rowland, of the Developmental Disabilities Institute (D.D.I), Lorraine Deller, of the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association, and Robert Becker, Director of Special Education for Eastern Suffolk BOCES.
During the last hour of the event, attendees were given the opportunity to share their comments, personal stories and direct questions with the Senators.
"Being able to hear the first hand accounts of individuals and families directly affected by Autism was an eye-opening experience. Hearing these stories is the first step towards real solutions to real problems affecting the Autism Community," said Senator Zeldin.

Cream Cheese & Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Recipe by EdsGirlAngie
This is a versatile recipe using your favorite herb with cream cheese, sandwiched in a chicken breast half, then breaded and baked for 30 minutes. Presto, quick and delicious dinner! I like oregano; sage or basil are other possibilities. Try 'em all!
Top Review by KissaK1
Wow, was this good. I thought the prep and cook times were right on point, and the chicken came out super moist -- not dry at all. I followed the recipe, using fresh oregano as you suggested, with some minor changes: Do green onions count as an herb? I wasn't sure, so I didn't know if they were supposed to go in the chicken at step 3, but I threw them in there anyway. I also used toothpicks to hold the chicken breasts together once I folded them back up. They made it a lot easier to dip the chicken in all the different bowls without having it come apart/get really messy. I like a lot of garlic, so I used more than 1/4 teaspoon, probably about 1/2 or a little more. I also used Italian-flavor breadcrumbs, which I thought went really well with the oregano... all the flavors were just constantly present in all the different levels. This was very delicious, and when it's done, it looks and tastes like it was very difficult to prepare -- a good way to trick people! Thanks for a nice way to use up cream cheese!
See Discussion:37 Reviews 4 Tweaks
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (not the monstrous ones, the "halved" ones)
- 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 3 green onions, minced
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 4 tablespoons fresh sage or 4 tablespoons fresh basil
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degres F.
- Flatten open chicken breasts; spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one half of each breast (resist the temptation to use more-- a little cream cheese goes a looooooong way!).
- Evenly distribute the fresh herbs on top of that and season with salt and pepper.
- "Fold"the chicken breasts back up and press tightly, tucking in cream cheese a bit.
- In a shallow dish, combine the 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper, paprika and flour.
- In another dish, pour the beaten egg mixture.
- In a third dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
- First dip chicken breasts in flour mixture, then beaten egg mixture, then bread crumb mixture.
- Place chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet, drizzle about a tablespoon of melted butter on each breast and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until cooked through and tender.

Rajya Sabha approves president's rule in Jharkhand
Shinde, who moved the resolution, said there was perception that small states will see good governments but Jharkhand had not seen very stable governments.
He denied suggestions that the decision to keep the state assembly under animated suspension during the president's rule was motivated by political considerations.
Shinde said a government was formed in the state in 2010 which had Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) as major partners with the former's Arjun Munda heading it.
The minister said Governor Syed Ahmed had waited for a few days to explore the possibility of formation of an alternative government after the JMM withdrew its support to the Munda government last month.
He said running a coalition government was difficult task and the way Manmohan Singh was running coalition government of United Progressive Alliance was an example.
"Difficulty crops up in five-five minutes (in coalition government)," he said.
Shinde said the government will keep paying attention to development needs of Jharkhand.
Participating in the debate, D. Bandyopadhyay of Trinamool Congress said the state should have an elected government at the earliest.
JMM member Sanjiv Kumar said tribals in Jharkhand were poor and some of them came to work as labourers in cities. He said the state had not been able to derive benefit of its enormous mineral wealth.
He said Jharkhand had been saddled with financial liability towards Bihar as a different formula for division of assets had been followed. Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar during the rule of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.
Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal members blamed the BJP for political instability in the state.
BJP member Jai Prakash Narayan Singh, however, said the state had seen cases of corruption during the rule of non-NDA parties.
The proclamation was issued by President Pranab Mukherjee Jan 18.

Welcome to "Number One Says," where football is back!
Number One says:
The preseason is FINALLY over, and the NFL is back in action!! The regular season kicks off tonight with the Broncos hosting the Panthers in a rematch from Super Bowl 50. This is the 11th season of the Opening Night tradition involving the defending SB champion opening the season at home on Thursday. It is also the 11th season of the tradition involving not one, but TWO Monday night games on the opening week. This year's MNF games will see the Steelers head to DC, followed by the LA Rams in the Bay Area against the Niners.
Week 1 Predictions
Carolina @ Denver (Thu.)
Green Bay @ Jacksonville
Buffalo @ Baltimore
Chicago @ Houston
Cleveland @ Philadelphia
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
Minnesota @ Tennessee
Cincinnati @ N.Y. Jets
Oakland @ New Orleans
San Diego @ Kansas City
Miami @ Seattle
Detroit @ Indianapolis
N.Y. Giants @ Dallas
New England @ Arizona
Pittsburgh @ Washington (Mon.)
Los Angeles @ San Francisco (Mon.)
In baseball, the Yankees are on another winning tear, as we've won four straight games. A sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays moved the Yankees to within 2.5 games of a playoff spot, and after Boston's win in San Diego, the Jays are now out of first place, knocked down to the first Wild Card position. Toronto and Boston have a head to head series this weekend, while the Yankees will face the lowly Rays in a four game set starting tonight.
With the playoffs looming, the next four weeks will feature posts about the four different postseason eras in MLB. Tomorrow's post will detail the lengthy Classic World Series Era, so keep an eye out!
Back to football, well, Canadian football. Week 11 was a terrible week for the Argonauts. We played twice in Week 11 and both times we lost. Last Wednesday was the home loss to the BC Lions, and Labo(u)r Day was even worse. After leading 27-7, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats outscored the Argos, 42-9, the rest of the way. With the Redblacks' win over the Alouettes, the Argos are now behind both Ottawa and Hamilton at 4-6.
Week 12 begins tomorrow with the BC Lions hosting the Alouettes. After that, the same three Labo(u)r Day rivalries will be renewed; Riders @ Bombers and Stampeders @ Eskimos on Saturday, and Tiger-Cats @ Argos on Sunday. The first place Redblacks are idle, giving the Argos a golden chance to gain some ground on Ottawa. Unfortunately, Hamilton's win on Monday clinched the season series between the Tiger-Cats and Argos.
The San Francisco Giants are sputtering, which is strange considering it's an even-numbered year. 2010, 2012, and 2014 have all seen the Giants as the last team standing, but their terrible slide has seen them in a huge hole: five games behind the Dodgers (entering today). The Giants do hold the top Wild Card position, but that's by a very slim margin: only half a game ahead of the Cardinals and Mets. The Giants have won only 1/3 of their games since the All-Star break, the worst in MLB. Which brings us to...
The #1 Burning Question of the Week: Will the San Francisco Giants miss the playoffs?

LAFAYETTE — For the first time in eight years, voters in District 6 will have a new Lafayette Parish School Board member representing them.
Justin Centanni, R-Lafayette, and Kathleen Schott Espinoza, No Party-Lafayette, are vying for the seat now held by Greg Awbrey, who opted not to seek re-election.
Centanni offers a finance background he says will benefit the board and district. He's an assistant vice president in the finance department of Iberia Bank.
"I'm not an educator," he said. "My talents lie outside of the classroom. I can ensure the fiscal soundness of the board and ensure the educators get the resources they need to do their job. This is where my talents lie. I know how to budget. I know how to plan."
Espinoza, a geography instructor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, said she plans to take a more proactive approach to respond to the needs of the district and its teachers.
"One of my larger issues with the school board now is that we need to take some initiative," she said. "One of those steps is to develop a charter school policy."
School districts are required by the state to advertise annually for charter school applications; however, the School Board can harness some control over the type of applications that they receive through policy, Espinoza said.
"If the Department of Education is going to require that, we need to be specific with applications we're going to solicit," she said.
For instance, Espinoza said, if the district wants to grow its foreign immersion options, it should solicit applications for foreign immersion charter schools.
"The charter schools today don't offer anything new to the parish," she said.
Three of the five charter schools planned for Lafayette Parish opened in August.
Last year, the School Board rejected the schools' applications, but they were approved by the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Espinoza was part of an organized opposition to the charter schools — an effort called Swamp BESE — that led to the creation of a new education advocacy group: Power of Public Education Lafayette. The group opposes for-profit, privatization of public education and advocates for legislation supporting traditional public schools.
Centanni said the charter schools are part of the school system's landscape now and the focus should be on how to attract those parents who left Lafayette Parish schools back to the system.
"I'd rather compete than complain," he said.
If elected, he wants to focus on facilities, transportation and the district's finances. He said he also plans to use the $800 he'd receive monthly as a board member to pay for a monthly district meeting to receive feedback from constituents. He said he will use the money to pay for food, babysitters and tutors to remove any obstacles for families to attend the meetings.
"I can't think of a better use of that money," he said. "I want people to call me, talk to me. I'll be available. I expect to be held accountable for my job just like the superintendent and anyone else in the school system."
He said he thinks the board's current way of planning and reviewing its budget is inefficient.
"We have to get our own house in order," he said. "The budget process is backwards. It should start by asking the principals what they need. Now, it starts with the principals being told what they need to teach their students. "
Espinoza, whose husband is a teacher and president of the Lafayette Parish Association of Educators, said she'd like to see the district consider using different and more equitable evaluation systems to rate school performance and teachers.
The teacher's organization has been critical of the current evaluation system for teachers that ties students' performance on pre- and post-tests to the evaluation of a teacher's job performance. That evaluation is now tied to their pay.
Espinoza also said communication among board members and school system employees could be improved with the creation of committees to deliberate on actions, she said.
"I would like to explore the idea of a committee system to provide a venue for regular communication between board members and system staff," she said.
She said committees would force board members to do their homework on issues and "at the same time helps to keep the lines of communication open."
Addressing the district's facility needs made both candidates' list of priorities, and they agreed that the board won't find support for a new tax to fund facility improvements until its members rebuild trust in the community.

The Tamil National Alliance appears to be divided over its registration as a separate political party, after its ally the ITAK opposed the proposal by other parties to appoint a high command comprising representatives of all the parties in the alliance, informed sources said yesterday.
The TNA is a political movement consisting of the TELO, EPRLF, ITAK, TULF and PLOTE.
Of them, only the first three have parliamentary representation while the other two parties joined the TNA only after the war ended.
TELO political leader M K Sivagilingam said most of the parties had agreed to the creation of a common decision making body either called a presidium or high command.
The TNA applied registration on a previous occasion too, but the Elections Commissioner rejected it on the ground that the party had not fulfilled the necessary qualifications for such registration.
Political parties are required to submit to the Elections Commissioner reports of their annual conventions and statements of accounts.

Active Youth Network is helping youth clubs stay on top of the technology curve by implement GrassRoots Mobile Messaging in our mobile platforms – providing clubs, schools and organizations with unlimited push notification and rich media messaging tools. Check out this recent article in MediaPost.
Driven by Facebook and other market leaders, more than 1.4 billion consumers will use mobile messaging apps this year. That's according to the latest projections from eMarketer. If accurate, the fresh figure will represent a 31.6% increase in usage rates, year-over-year. Worldwide, that means 75% of smartphone users will use an over-the-top (OTT) mobile messaging app at least once a month, this year. Moreover, the popularly of messaging apps has not peaked. Rather, by 2018, the number of chat app users worldwide will reach 2 billion — representing 80% of smartphone users.
Cathy Boyle, senior mobile analyst at eMarketer, attributes the mobile messaging boom to several factors.
"Some of the key drivers of mobile messaging's growth include consumers' growing interest in intimate forums for social sharing, the multiple modes of communication offered by messaging apps and the growing number of features offered, including peer-to-peer payments and mcommerce," Boyle explains in a new report. Thanks to significant reach in more than 20 countries, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger — both owned by Facebook — are officially "global powerhouse" apps, by eMarketer's reckoning. Mobile phone messaging apps is defined by eMarketer as services that provide private one-to-one or one-to-many communication between registered users, where messages and calls are then transmitted via data connections and the mobile web on a regional basis. OTT messaging apps have shown heavy usage in Asia-Pacific, where 58% of the world's messaging app population lives. Latin America also shows strong usage, with 68.1% of mobile internet users using a mobile messaging app once a month. This share will increase to 77.4% by the end of 2019, eMarketer expects.
As for business models, no two services are alike. While some services are strictly focused on growing their audiences, WeChat is seen as leading in terms of monentization, with the most diverse and advanced methods for making money. "While most agree that the WeChat model cannot be duplicated 100%, certain aspects of its 'platform concept' have inspired others to venture further into commerce and payments, most notably Facebook," according to eMarketer. The most popular revenue models that have emerged include paid digital content (such as games, videos and emojis), advertising (official accounts, in-feed ads), mcommerce (in-app purchases), online-to-offline commerce (ordering food, hailing a cab) and finance (peer-to-peer payments and subscriptions). eMarketer considers mobile phone messaging app users to be individuals who make use of such services on at least a monthly basis.

Hairstylists adapt as number of 'bread and butter' customers dwindles
Fifteen years ago, if you had tried to book a Friday appointment with hairstylist Claire Kieft, you would have likely been out of luck.
Right before the weekend, her schedule book was always filled with long-standing appointments.
"Everybody in my book was a wash-and-set, and they would come every single Friday, and that went on for years and years," said the 62-year-old stylist, who rents space at Just Your Style by Sydney in Glenville.
Back in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, weekly trips to the beauty parlor for hairstyles that involved curlers and hood hair dryers were all the rage.
"When I did hair in the '70s, you sprayed their hair so it didn't move all week," Kieft recalled. "I mean, their hair was like a helmet."
As years have passed, those curler- and hairspray-induced looks have gradually been replaced by lower-maintenance styles that require fewer trips to the salon. Some of the older crowd still come in like clockwork for weekly wash-and-sets, but, as their numbers dwindle, stylists have been left with bald spots in their appointment books.
Fewer dependables
In February, Mr. James Hairstylist, an 80-year-old salon in Schenectady, closed as a result of declining clientele.
Michele Brisson, owner of Mary's Beauty Salon in Ballston Spa, works longer hours since the number of weekly "bread and butter" customers has dwindled at her salon.
"You called those people 'bread and butter' people because you could depend on them," she explained.
Until about five years ago, her Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays were always booked with weekly wash-and-sets.
Age and the economy have taken their toll on her regulars, and winter is traditionally slow, since many older customers migrate to Florida, she noted.
Higher-priced treatments like hair color, highlights and perms make up for some of the lost revenue, but she has still found it necessary to extend her workdays.
"You've got more working people now, so they want to come after work. So, you put in longer days," she said, adding resolutely, "It's money."
Ladies from around age 70 on up still come in weekly to Gemmette's Classique hair salon in Scotia, said stylist Mary Westervelt, who has been cutting hair for more than 40 years.
"They've taken care of families all their lives and they like to be pampered," she said, noting that the weekly visit is about more than just getting a hairdo.
"There's a very big social aspect, in this salon particularly," she said. "It's a small town and everybody knows everybody."
Although business is still brisk, some of the weekly customers have stopped coming in as they've gotten on in years, Westervelt admitted, and younger customers don't show up as frequently.
"They come in usually for cuts and blow-drys, and then maintain their hair through the month on their own," she explained.
She makes up for the lost revenue with more involved procedures like highlighting and color jobs.
"There's always something new in this industry," she said.
New crowd
Master stylist and colorist William Sammons, one of the owners of Gorgeous The Salon and Boutique in Schenectady, said he, too, has seen a reduction in what he calls weekly "under the dryer" customers, but he's also starting to see a new crowd show up on that same schedule.
"We have younger people, like 30ish, who are starting to come in for blow-drys and round-brushing and straightening on a weekly basis," he explained.
Because of that, his salon now offers a "Gorgeous to Go" service on Fridays from 3:30 to 7 p.m., when only blow-drying and hair-straightening services are offered.
Younger clients are also clamoring for hair-smoothing treatments that take up to four hours to complete, as well as new hair-coloring techniques, he said.

My parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this month and I would love to do a gazebo (royal icing) on top of a cake.
When my dad was 21 he got a draft notice and was being stationed in Germany and my mom didn't want to put off their wedding (she was 19) so they quickly got married. She didn't have the traditional wedding...no long white gown, no wedding party and no wedding cake. They got married in the priest's parlor with only 2 witnesses allowed in the tiny cramped room. There are literally 4 or 5 photos of that day...
My mom has never complained, not once, but has made comments like, "I wonder what it would have been like....". Well, my parents had 5 daughters, so she got to be very involved in 5 weddings!
They shared their first kiss in a gazebo...a story they tell fondly. When they bought their new house last year, my DH (McGyver) built them a humongous screened-in gazebo off the deck over looking their woods.
So I am going to make my parents the wedding cake they never had...and I want to make a royal icing gazebo for the topper. I am handing this over to you pros....any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
I know this is already long, sorry...but they are the gosh darn cutest couple I have ever seen! They still kiss and hold hands like newlyweds and I just want to do something special for them.
Thanks for listening and for any suggestions!
I think there is one in my Lambeth book. I'll get it in a few minutes and look.
Thanks, Rachel....any help would be appreciated!!
I think I PM'd it to you, but it's not showing up in my sent log so let me know if you don't get it and I'll re-send it.
Hi did anyone have the gazebo template? could someone email it to me please?
Thank you so much in advance xx
Please send me your email to [email protected]

Experience curves for wind power
The objective of this study was to improve the understanding of the use of different experience curves in energy analysis. The study was based on the application of experience curves to wind power systems, but the approach is generic and can be used in other energy technologies. In the study, experience curves for wind power were developed, and it has been demonstrated that different types of experience curves can be developed for one and the same technology. Depending on the system boundaries used, the market perspective used, the time frame, the manufacturers included and the size of the turbines included, the progress ratios of the curves ranged from 83% to 117%, indicating a cost reduction of 0–17% per doubling of produced or installed capacity. We discuss the interpretation of these curves and the most appropriate experience curve for use in energy analysis.

Earnest in Chandler Will Close At The End of The Month
It's a sad day for East Valley diners. Over the weekend, owner Danielle Morris announced plans to close her New American comfort food haven, Earnest, in Chandler.
"I'll miss seeing our neighbors, regulars, and friends," Morris says in a press release. "The entire community has been so wonderful to us over the past 11 years between Cork and Earnest, thank you all so much."
Earnest debuted in June 2014 after the closure of Cork, a well-loved upscale wine bar that was open for about six years. Morris and executive chef Brian Peterson closed that restaurant, completed two weeks of renovations, and opened Earnest in the same spot, billing the new restaurant as more approachable than its predecessor and switching the emphasis from wine to craft beer.
Earnest will close after a last service on Wednesday, March 30. Until then, guests are invited to stop in for happy hour or dinner. Reservations can be made by calling 480-883-3773.
For more information, visit the Earnest website.

A Good Night's Sleep Is No Longer Just A DreamPosted on: 30 April 2009 by Gareth Hargreaves
Expert back advice and sleep specialists Back Advice Info offers you some top tips to give you sweet dreams at night.
A recent study found that as many as 30% of the adult population are affected by sleep problems, with the over 65s recognised as particularly badly disrupted.
In fact, according to a study conducted by the University of Leeds, roughly half of the UK's mature population complain of insomnia.
Along with the physical changes that occur with age, changes to sleep patterns are part of the normal ageing process. But it's especially important to ensure that we get sufficient sleep as we age, because sleep is known to improve concentration and memory formation, as well as allowing the body to repair any cell damage that has occurred during the day, and refreshing the immune system which helps to prevent disease.
Experts have also suggested that a lack of sleep might affect the way the brain works, leading to poor judgement.
To help Britons get their recommended seven or eight hours sleep every night, the specialist back advice and sleep website, www.backadvice.info are offering practical advice and top tips to help you drift soundly off as soon as your head hits the pillow this evening.
Top Tips For Sound Sleeping
- Reading Light – despite everything you've been told about reading before bedtime, try to avoid reading and watching TV in bed just before you turn off the light as it can confuse the brain, awakening your senses and leaving you feeling restless. Instead, leading sleep expert, Dr Neil Stanley, of Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, advises that the key to a good night's sleep lies in winding down effectively before bedtime, so if you love a good book, try reading elsewhere in the hours before you head off to bed.
- Stick To A Routine – try to go to bed, and – as far as possible – wake up at the same time every day. The routine will help to give your body a guide as to what is normal and what is not.
- Keep On Moving – make sure you get some exercise such as walking every day, but try to avoid vigorous exercise within three hours of bedtime. Exercising shortly before you turn in for the night has been found to interrupt your sleep-wake cycle and rob you of the restorative deep sleep that your body is craving. Try ensuring that you reserve some time for exercise between the morning and late afternoon, giving yourself plenty of time to unwind before hitting the hay.
- Sunny Side Up – exposure to natural light stimulates the body's production of melatonin, a hormone that helps to regulate the sleep cycle, so try to spend a little time outside when possible. When it comes to bedtime, make sure you create a contrast between day and night in the room you sleep in. Light triggers the production of chemicals which signal to your body that it should be awake, so ensuring that your bedroom is dark at night will help you to fall asleep faster and for longer.
- Drink Up – try to avoid drinking caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee in the evening and possibly during the afternoon if necessary, as these drinks are stimulants and could prevent you from sleeping at night. Try to avoid late night tipples too – drinking alcohol late at night could lead to premature waking. Give your body at least one hour to digest each drink before heading to bed.
- Don't Smoke – and if you do smoke, don't just before bedtime! Not only is nicotine a stimulant, but a craving cigarettes early in the morning may force an early rise.
- Sleep Easy – ensure that you assess whether your present mattress and pillow provide the necessary support for a good night's sleep, and remember that you should change your mattress every 10 years – after all, you do spend at least a third of your life sleeping!

New Mexico has adopted the federal requirements for written safety plans for specific activities (e.g., bloodborne pathogens exposure control plan, hazard communication plan) and for specific hazardous substances in both private (businesses and nonprofit organizations) and public (state and local governments) sector workplaces.
New Mexico's workers' compensation rules require certain employers to establish safety and loss prevention programs. New Mexico provides voluntary guidance on how to develop a safety program to employers who obtain their workers' compensation insurance through the state program.
The New Mexico Environment Department's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau governs workplace safety and health rules in public and private sector workplaces. The New Mexico Workers' Compensation Administration (WCA) administers the state safety and loss prevention programs.
Employers with premiums of $5,000 or more and self-insurers will receive an annual safety inspection and workplace safety recommendations from the WCA. The Council on Workers' Compensation and Occupational Disease Disablement provides a guide for employers with less than a $5,000 annual premium. Some employers may be identified as "extra-hazardous," and these employers must have a safety consultation from WCA, their insurer, or another approved source within 30 days and must devise and implement a specific accident prevention plan. Failure to comply with these safety requirements is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000.
Employers that are identified as "extra-hazardous" must have a safety consultation ...

Road to Redemption
I've always been a sucker for tales about basketball players with dark sides.
Stories like Chris Herren as a basketball junkie in the literal sense. Charles Shackleford locking himself in his North Carolina State dorm room and listening to Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" on repeat. Former Detroit Pistons center turned seven-foot stickup artist Reggie Harding. ABA tough guy turned Ugandan guerrilla fighter John Brisker.
I guess the fascination started with Lloyd "Swee' Pea" Daniels.
Daniels is definitely on the starting five of the All-Squandered Talent team. The excellent book "Swee' Pea and Other Playground Legends: Tales of Drugs, Violence and Basketball" by John Valenti and New York City high school coach Ron Naclerio traces Daniels' spiral from being "Magic Johnson with a jumpshot" to never getting to suit up for UNLV after getting arrested in a crack house.
The six-foot-seven forward, more of the crafty type than the typical flashy New York City player, was recovering from a gunshot wound to shoulder and getting his bloated, alcoholic body into shape for another comeback attempt in 1990. He struggled with the Miami Tropics of the USBL before falling off the wagon. He spent some time with John Lucas, the resident drug counselor for hoops stars, before seeking out another chance.
Fortunately for Daniels, the upstart Global Basketball Association was formed. The league had solid renegade credentials, starting at the top with former ABA commissioner Mike Storen (father of ESPN's Hannah Storm). The GBA had too-cute nicknames and hometown heroes, like the Raleigh Bullfrogs (yes, Jeremiah was the mascot) with former scrappy N.C. State point guard Chris Corchiani playing for former scrappy N.C. State point guard Monte Towe. The ABA had the iconic red, white and blue ball. The GBA went with the all-white rock.
My home of Greensboro, N.C., was one of the lucky townships to get a charter GBA franchise. The Greensboro City Gaters were named after the seldom-used nickname "Gate City" and illogically had their mascot be a gator.
Daniels was signed by the Gaters in October of 1991. The coach was Ed McLean, a former Jim Valvano assistant who also coached Pete Maravich at Raleigh Broughton High School.
The league couldn't hitch its wagon to washed-out NBA players like Milt Wagner (Louisville Shooters) and Chuck Nevitt (Bullfrogs), so the GBA heavily promoted Daniels.
I remember reading the requisite takeout feature on Daniels in the Greensboro News & Record and, being 12 years old without much sense of nuance, thinking how much of a coup it was that this rare talent had landed in my city.
I badgered my parents into taking me to see the Gaters at the venerable Greensboro Coliseum. My strongest memory is how the Coliseum — host to many Final Fours, ACC tournaments and NBA preseason games — seemed so small with a crowd that couldn't have topped 1,000 fans.
You could hear the kiss of the sneakers on the hardwood and the conversations on the court. I unwaveringly tracked Daniels. He looked almost middle-aged with a bald pate and battered body. He even looked slower than the other GBA players, but inevitably he would fill the box scores I pored over in the News & Record.
That season kick-started Daniels' comeback. He thrived under McLean and Jim Price, a former NBA journeyman who took over as coach a few months into the season. Daniels averaged 24.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game and was named the GBA's inaugural MVP. He was also the All-Star Game MVP. The Gaters finished 30-33 and were bounced in the first round of the GBA playoffs. For the record, the Music City Jammers, who finished 24-40 in the regular season, won the championship.
It was the first full winter of basketball for Daniels, then 24, since his junior year in high school. He hooked up with the Long Island Surf for the USBL's summer season.
In 1992, Daniels finally got his chance at the NBA. He signed with San Antonio Spurs, where he would play for Jerry Tarkanian, the coach who coveted Daniels so badly when "the Shark" was at UNLV.
Tarkanian lasted only 20 games as coach of the Spurs. The Greensboro City Gaters folded after that one season because of sparse crowds. The GBA made it only a month into its second year.
Daniels appeared in 200 games with six teams in the NBA, averaging 7.1 points per game.
I always checked the box scores for his name.

National Pride
There always seems to be a sense of entitlement when it comes to the United States and international basketball tournaments. Even with foreign players among the best in the world, there exists some irrational distress when the Americans don't obliterate the competition.
The shock of the U.S.'s loss to the Soviet Union in the 1972 Olympics has yet to dissipate. The American players have famously never accepted their silver medals.
The controversy of that defeat, when the Soviets were given multiple chances at the winning shot, in Munich is justified. Four years later in Montreal, the U.S. was on the other side of a narrow result in the Olympics. The record shows the Americans winning, 95-94, over Puerto Rico. It is forgotten how close the U.S. came to another shocking loss.
Butch Lee wanted to play for the U.S. But Lee wasn't granted an invitation to the Olympic trials by coach Dean Smith, even though Marquette teammates Earl Tatum, Lloyd Walton and Bo Ellis were.
Lee was born in Puerto Rico. His family decamped shortly thereafter for New York City, where Lee became a hoops legend at the Bronx's DeWitt Clinton High School. Still, he was eligible to play for the Puerto Rican national team.
Puerto Rico coach Tom Nissalke, a longtime ABA and NBA fixture, certainly must have been glad to have Lee.
The Puerto Ricans opened with a 21-point loss to the Yugoslavians, which didn't bode well for the match-up with the Americans. Smith's roster boasted Phil Ford, Adrian Dantley, Mitch Kupchak, Ernie Grunfeld, Scott May and Quinn Buckner.
Lee came out to prove that he belonged on the world stage. Guarded mostly by Indiana star Buckner, Lee finished with 35 points on 15-for-18 shooting and 5 for 6 from the free-throw line. Eight of Lee's baskets gave Puerto Rico leads as the game was tight throughout. Lee's backcourt mate Neftali Rivera added 26 points. They combined for 36 points in the first half as the game was tied at 50 at the break.
Rivera's biggest points came with just over one minute remaining as he hit a jumper to give Puerto Rico a 92-91 lead. Dantley gave the lead back to the Americans on a tip-in with 22 seconds left.
Then came the controversy. Nissalke drew up a play to clear room for one of Lee's patented mid-range jumpers. There was contact in the lane as Lee rose up for an eight-footer. The whistle blew. Everyone held their breath to see which way the age-old, block-charge conundrum would go.
It was a charge on Lee. The Puerto Rican bench howled with incredulity.
Ford hit two free throws. The Puerto Ricans hit a meaningless shot at the buzzer for the final margin. The chances of a monumental upset were gone.
The loss to the Soviets four years earlier could at least be explained away, with the opposition having placed high emphasis on beating the Americans and the finish that reeked of conspiracy. A loss to tiny Puerto Rico would have been inconceivable, no matter how good Lee was.
Lee would get a measure of revenge against Smith in 1977, scoring 19 points as Marquette beat North Carolina in the NCAA championship game.
Lee played two seasons for four teams in the NBA, averaging 8.1 points and 3.2 assists per game. He had a long career as a player and coach in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, Puerto Rico's professional league.
Despite that missed opportunity in 1976, Lee undoubtedly cracked a smile in 2004, when Puerto Rico shocked the U.S., 92-73, at the Athens Olympics.

Race Matters
Race is an inescapable subject in basketball. It's front and center, not hidden under helmets or long-sleeved uniforms.
Race is present at choose-up games at the local YMCA or watching NBA League Pass on the couch. It's joked about openly when discussing the five best white NBA players of all time, and it surfaces subliminally when clueless commentators decry the lack of fundamentals in the modern game.
All of these strains can get tied together, which makes for fascinating stories. Such is the case with "Chase The Game," an often-overlooked gem of a basketball book by the inimitable journalist Pat Jordan that was published in 1979.
Jordan has written some wild stories for Deadspin in recent years, but "Chase The Game" is straight reportage with bits of social commentary peppered in. The narrative centers on three friends and standout prep players in the surprisingly fertile hoops vineyard of Bridgeport, Conn. A high-school aged Wes Matthews Sr. even makes a cameo appearance during a pickup game.
Two of the players are cousins, Frank Oleynick and Barry McLeod, who have stylish games that were honed on the playgrounds in the projects of Bridgeport. Walter Luckett is considered the best talent in the city, recruited by the top-tier hoops colleges because of his sweet jumper that was perfected in well-kept gymnasiums.
The twist is that Oleynick and McLeod are white, and Luckett is black. That factors into their development as players. Oleynick and McLeod come from a hard-drinking immigrant family, and they latched onto basketball and labored incessantly on their games. Luckett was from the same projects as the cousins, but had some white benefactors who pushed him to excel.
Luckett went to a rival high school, but the three played pickup games together all over the East Coast. Oleynick and McLeod would win over skeptics by faring well in games against Providence star Marvin "Bad News" Barnes and even at the famed Rucker Park in New York.
The players tried to "chase the game" to the NBA. Luckett ended up choosing Ohio University, where he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated as one of the best freshmen in the nation. McLeod landed at Centenary, where his main duty was to feed the ball to a 7-footer named Robert Parish. Oleynick put some distance between himself and his hometown, choosing Seattle University.
Oleynick became a legend in The Emerald City. The white kid with an urban game won a cult following and averaged 22.6 points over three seasons. He was recently voted the ninth-best player in school history. Luckett had a hard time living up to his recruiting hype, but he averaged 20.5 points in three years. McLeod had the greatest team success of the three in college, with Centenary going 68-13 in his three varsity seasons, but NCAA violations involving Parish kept the school from the postseason.
Oleynick and Luckett incessantly measured their success against each other. Both entered the NBA draft a year early in 1975. Oleynick was the 12th overall pick by the SuperSonics and Luckett was chosen by the Detroit Pistons in the second round. McLeod was chosen a year later in the seventh round by the Chicago Bulls.
Oleynick was the only one to make a regular-season NBA roster. Luckett and McLeod were waived in training camp. Oleynick lasted just two seasons (5 points and 1.1 assists per game) with the SuperSonics under coach Bill Russell. Oleynick battled injuries and a crowded backcourt that featured "Downtown" Freddy Brown and fan favorite Slick Watts. Oleynick hinted that race might have played a factor in his limited opportunities.
As an interesting postscript to the book, the trio ended up back around their hometown. McLeod became a longtime coach at Bridgeport Central High School. Luckett worked corporate gigs but now helps Oleynick with basketball clinics.
Still chasing the game.

With its economy hurting badly, Egypt's government has slashed the value of its own currency in an attempt to make the country more competitive and ensure access to foreign cash. The Wall Street Journal reports:
The Central Bank of Egypt on Monday sold almost $200 million in an interbank auction at 8.85 Egyptian pounds per dollar, compared with the previous rate of 7.73 that it maintained for nearly five months. The move will help narrow the gap between the pound's exchange rate of about 9.6 to the dollar last week in the black market. This was the central bank's second such auction within a week.
A more flexible policy will "fix the distortions in the exchange rate system and restore the regular and sustainable flow of hard currency in the banking system," the central bank said in a statement.
Egypt is grappling with a short supply of dollars that is strangling businesses and restricting the country's capacity to import essential goods such as pharmaceuticals, wheat and fuel.
Tourism and foreign investments, key sources of hard currency for the import-dependent economy, have yet to pick up after the uprising in 2011 due to political unrest. A string of recent terror attacks has further weighed on sentiment. Egypt's foreign reserves have fallen by more than half since early 2011 to about $16.5 billion at the end of February.
The move accompanied recent reforms that allow businesses better access to hard cash, and make it easier to deposit foreign reserves in Egyptian banks. Egypt's stock market rallied on the news.
As we wrote last week, the Egyptian economy is in real trouble—to the point where, if current downward trends continue, it could be a real threat to the government's stability and regional peace. So this kind of initiative is welcome news.
The government seems to be avoiding further erosion in reserves. That's commendable, all things considered. Egypt has a lot of problems, but there are some smart technocrats in the system, and the military government, whatever its other failings, seems to be listening to them at least some of the time. The foreign exchanges reserves aren't in free fall and the poor aren't exploding in food riots. For now, that counts as good news out of Egypt.

BEST hydrating mist ever!
At first I thought this was a product I really didn't "need" but I was wrong! You mist your face after applying your makeup in the morning which ''sets'' it. Then, as many more times as you feel you need to refresh! It feels and looks amazing!!
Nice finish
Pleasant, mild scent. Gives a nice finish to the mineral products and seems to hold them in place.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - False rumors that Barack Obama was secretly a Muslim or had ties to Islamic extremism angered Muslim-Americans, who overwhelming supported him in Tuesday's presidential election, experts said on Thursday.
Unpublished polling data indicated that the Democratic President-elect got somewhere between 67 percent and 90 percent of the Muslim vote, probably nearer the higher end, Ahmed Younis of Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, said in a telephone briefing.
A "watershed" moment for U.S. Muslims occurred in mid-October, he said, when former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a Republican who endorsed Obama, addressed the Obama-is-a-Muslim rumors which had circulated for months, and condemned the idea that this would be a slur.
"Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?" Powell asked on NBC's "Meet the Press." "The answer's no, that's not America ... Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion 'he's a Muslim and he might be associated with terrorists.'"
Younis said that for U.S. Muslims Powell's comment capped a decades-long search "to become part and parcel of the nation."
Muslims make up less than 1 percent of the U.S. population of 305 million, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, though some believe that number is low.
Obama, whose father was Kenyan and whose mother was a white woman from Kansas, has the middle name Hussein, and lived for part of his childhood in predominantly Muslim Indonesia. He is a Christian.
Jen'nan Read, professor of sociology at Duke University, told the same briefing that not only did the whisper campaign about Obama being a closet Muslim fail, but that distribution in closely contested states of a video on Islamic extremism backfired.
More than 20 million copies of a film called "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" were included as advertising supplements in newspapers, distributed by a private group unaffiliated with Republican John McCain's campaign. The film features suicide bombers, children being trained with guns, and a Christian church said to have been defiled by Muslims.
Read said the video was a subtle attempt to link Obama to Islamic extremists but many of the states where it was handed out "were strongholds of Muslim American voters" who were prompted to work for Obama.
"It may actually have brought out voters for Obama," she said.
But beyond that issue, she added, Muslim voters looked a lot like many other American voters. They moved away from the Republican party, which they had backed heavily in 2000 but less so in 2004 -- and voted their concerns for issues such as the economy and a desire for a change in leadership.
Mukit Hossain, executive director of the Muslim American Political Action Committee, said at the briefing that support for Obama among Muslims "changed dramatically" in the last three to four weeks of the campaign "when people started calling Obama a terrorist" in the crowds at Republican rallies.
He also said a concern for erosion of civil liberties since the attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, has driven Muslims away from the Republican party in recent years.
Although hard numbers are difficult to find, Hossain said from 2 million to 3 million Muslims were probably registered to vote in this year's election.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
It's going from bad to worse.
I have received a lot of messages showing resentment of the leading contesters by the fact the SO category elimination has been discussed by the CQ WW CC.
Also, I have received some messages on the subject from the CQ WW CC members.
We should also say that some of the CQ WW CC members have been excluded from the discussion.
At least, three of them:
OH2MM - won the CQ WW contests 12 times,
OH2BH - won the CQ WW contests 5 times,
PY5EG - known to everyone of us contester.
These men devoted their lives to contesting !!!
Then what about us, the mortals?
The K3EST Contest Committee members (I can not call it "CQ WW Contest Committee" because of its restrictions) have started vivid discussion on the contest rules. Thanks to your help, my friends, and principled stand of K3ZO, KM3T, K1DG, G3SXW, N2NT, ES5TV, UA9BA the case has been decided in favor of those protesting against the SO category elimination. It will not happen!!!
Now, some of CQ WW CC members worry that unrespected by them 4L5A (not a surprise for me) may take it as his victory.
I would like to say to this CQ WW CC member that 4L5A does not suffer of narcissism and I am very glad that the contesters opinion has finally won.
After publishing the N6TJ's (6 times CQWW winner) open letter Jim has also been told several times that nobody is going to consult with him. Some outsmarted themselves and started attacking Dick N6AA, who won the CQWW 13 times.
I would like to share the news that many CQ WW CC members are not aware of yet. The committee has now a press secterary. I congratulate him and am glad that K3EST has finally followed my (and not only mine) advice. I am pretty sure that Gene W3ZZ will take a principal stand on blaze of publicity and sheding some light on CQ WW actions.
