Despite his somewhat comical-sounding name, the Mini Goldendoodle is a serious contender for the perfect family dog award. This designer dog is one of the newer pups on the scene, but he is proving to doggy lovers across the globe that he really is a wonderful animal who makes a great canine companion.
The Miniature Goldendoodle is a combination of the Golden Retriever, and the Toy version of the poodle. That's how they are able to go from regular-sized doodle mix to smaller size as the Toy Poodle is much smaller than the standard version.
He is both energetic and friendly, funny and gentle, and he will fit in with any family who can provide him with the attention, love, and exercise that he needs. Read this comprehensive guide to the Miniature Goldendoodle, and you will learn just how great he is!
Parent Breeds
Whilst designer dogs are not a new trend as such, it is a trend that has definitely picked up momentum over the last decade, despite a fair bit of controversy. Designer dogs are also commonly known as hybrid dogs, but whichever term you use to describe them, they are the puppy product of the intentional mixing of two purebred dogs. In this article, we are going to delve deep into the details of the Golden Retriever and the Miniature Poodle's pup, the Mini Goldendoodle.
A purebred pup, like the Golden Retriever and the Poodle, generally all have the same appearance and the same temperament as one another, so you know what to expect. A designer dog whose breed is in the early stages of development, like the Miniature Goldendoodle, will likely be a mixture of the two breeds, but it is not guaranteed which parent he will take after more. The average litter of Goldendoodles is 3 to 8 puppies, and they will probably all be different from one another in some way.
In order to understand the Mini Goldendoodle, and to gain a better idea about his needs and what you can expect from him, it is important to understand a little about both of his parents.
Golden Retriever
It was a common myth that the Golden Retriever descended from Russian Circus dogs, but he was in fact cleverly engineered in the Scottish Highlands to be the perfect water bird hunter by day, and a cuddly family companion by night.
Lord Tweedmouth I bred a mixture of dog breeds and only continued breeding the ones who were yellow and golden in color, all the rest he gifted to friends and other noblemen. In England, he was first registerable as a 'Retriever- Yellow or Golden', but this rather inconspicuous name was later changed in 1920 to the Golden Retriever.
In 2019, the American Kennel Club (AKC) has ranked the Golden Retriever as the 3rd most popular dog in America. He is described as friendly, intelligent, and devoted, and it is these gentle traits that the Miniature Goldendoodle has inherited.
Tucker the Golden Retriever has 1.6 million followers on Instagram before he was two years old! So, if you want to see the friendly, cute, and dopey side of the Mini Goldendoodle, then be sure to check Tucker out.
Miniature Poodle
The Miniature Poodle is one of three different sized Poodles, with the toy and the standard being the others, and they are exactly the same dog except for their size. In Germany, where the Poodle originated from, he is known as 'Pudelhund' which translates as puddle dog.
When the standard Poodle strutted his stuff over to France, he soon became a firm favorite of Royalty and noblemen, they bred him to be much smaller in order to fit perfectly on their laps, and this is where the Miniature Poodle was born.
In 2019, the AKC ranked the miniature Poodle as the 7th most popular dog in America. He is described as active, proud, and very smart, and it is the Poodle's genetics that gives the Miniature Goldendoodle his feisty and energetic side.
Miniature Goldendoodle
It is unknown when the Miniature Goldendoodle first appeared, but it is believed that the standard Goldendoodle was born in the 1980s, so it can safely be said that the Mini version was sometime after this. For safety reasons regarding size, his mother will always be the Golden Retriever, and his father will always be the Miniature Poodle.
As a hybrid dog, and not a purebred, it is unknown which genes he will inherit from which parent, and whilst this may be exciting for some, for others it is somewhat unnerving. However, the advice that all hybrid owners should take is to expect any combination of traits from either the Golden Retriever or Poodle.
With that advice, you cannot be disappointed. If there is something that you dislike about either breed, then you should walk away from the Mini Goldendoodle. If you are ready for this exciting genetic bingo, then let's jump into the details.
If you don't know a Goldendoodle yourself, then check out the Instagram account 'goldendoodlesofinstagram', to give yourself a daily dose of beautiful Goldendoodles of all sizes. The miniature version of the Goldendoodle is usually a little bigger than another toy poodle mix, the Cavapoo.
The Mini Goldendoodle tends to inherit the gentle and affectionate side from his Golden mother, and the wild side of his Poodle father. He adores humans and is always on the lookout to please his entire family. The Miniature Goldendoodle is gentle with the eldest family members and tolerant of inquisitive children, so he makes the perfect family addition for any type of family!
He is also suited to a multi-pet household as he also enjoys being around other animals, so all in all, everyone's a winner! The only downside here is that this sociability can sometimes turn in separation anxiety if he is left alone for too long. Despite his angelic face he will chew and shred your homely belongings if he feels restless and lonely.
It is super important to be around for this guy, so if you work long hours then you should consider getting a less needy dog. But if you can be there for most of the day, then the Mini Goldendoodle is very loyal and always pleased to greet his master whenever he comes home from work, or even just coming back from the bathroom. It is almost impossible to be downhearted when there is a Mini Goldendoodle about!
They are also likely to be very energetic thanks to his Poodle father's energy, and in between cuddling, he will be running around the backyard playing games and fetch, messing around in the pool or just generally getting up to mischief.
Size & Appearance
The Mini Goldendoodle is the newest, but most convincing, teddy bear doppelganger. So, if it is a canine cutie pie that you are after, then look no further! He will measure 13 to 20 inches tall, from paw to shoulder, and will weigh anywhere between 15 to 35 pounds.
He will usually have dark button eyes, although on occasion they can be green or blue, but with a cute dark button nose to match. Whilst they are smaller dogs, they have a well-proportioned body that is sturdy.
Dependent on which parent he takes after, he could be slightly more delicate like the Poodle, or a bit more robust and thicker like the Golden Retriever. His tail tends to be long and can become quite bushy with all those thick curls.
Coat & Colors
The most desirable and most recognized appearance of the Miniature Goldendoodle is the golden blonde hair of the Golden Retriever, with the cute curly waves of the Poodle. His hair is thick and dense and is often medium length.
While the majority of Mini Goldendoodles have golden locks, they may also take any color of the Poodle, which can be black, blue, brown, red, sable, or silver.
It is important to note here that whilst many breeders may advertise the Miniature Goldendoodle as hypoallergenic, just like his Poodle parent, he also may not be, like the Golden Retriever is not a hypoallergenic pup. If this is a really important factor for you and your family, then it may be wise to stick to a hypoallergenic dog.
Exercise Requirements & Living Conditions
Despite his mini size the Mini Goldendoodle is full of beans, and he requires 45 to 60 minutes of exercise every day. Don't think that because he is small that he will be content as an all-day lapdog because you will be quickly disappointed.
As both of his parents are traditional working water babies, the Mini Goldendoodle also has an affinity for water, so be sure to take him to the local lake or doggy pool, as he will be forever thankful! Because of his intelligence, he may get bored quite easily, so make sure that you mix up his exercise routine with different activities.
This guy is very adaptable, and he is suited to any home, be that an apartment with an outdoor space, or a larger home with a large backyard. With that being said, he really would be better suited to a home with access to an outdoor space of some kind, as he is energetic and becomes bored quite easily. Because of his small stature, he does not require reinforced fencing, however, because he is quite the detective you should ensure that it is enclosed and that he cannot escape.
Additionally, because of his thick and dense curly fur, he will need access to an area that will provide him with shelter from the sun, or even better, he should be kept indoors in the cool on particularly hot days.
The Miniature Goldendoodle is very intelligent and combining that with his eagerness to please his master, he is quite easily trainable. However, because he is such an excitable dog who is always looking for the next best thing to do, his concentration levels aren't the best, so for this reason, it is important to keep training sessions short and sweet, just like him! Positive reinforcement training with verbal praise and small training treats will make this process a lot easier!
Of course, as with any pup, be sure to socialize him early and expose him to as many unfamiliar sounds and sights as you can, which will help to build his confidence and become a well-mannered adult. Putting the effort in with this guy will not only make things a whole lot easier when he is older, but it will also act as a bonding session for you both.
Because the Miniature Goldendoodle is such an intelligent and friendly pup, he makes the perfect therapy dog in nursing homes and hospitals. So if this is something that takes your fancy, then you could always train him to become a service dog!
There aren't any breed standards as the Mini Goldendoodle has yet to be declared a breed of his own. As such, the best way to determine what health conditions he will be predisposed to is to look at the health of both of his parents. Generally, he is quite a healthy pup and there are no known significant health problems associated with the breed.
His Poodle parent is prone to suffering from Hip Dysplasia and Patella Luxation, which are abnormal formations of the affected joints, which can cause a lot of pain when walking.
He is also prone to suffering from a variety of eye conditions, particularly Progressive Retinal Atrophy. Unfortunately, the smaller and larger Poodles suffer from separate health issues, but the Miniature Poodle, being the middle sibling, seems to have inherited them all. In addition to some of the above health issues, the Golden Retriever parent also suffers from Elbow Dysplasia and requires a cardiac evaluation.
The best way to look after your Mini Goldendoodle's health is to take him for regular Veterinarian checkups and to understand each of his parent's health conditions and the associated symptoms. For further and more detailed information about his parent's health, the Golden Retriever national breed club outline his breed standards, and the Poodle national breed club also outline his standards.
The Miniature Goldendoodle will require around 2 cups of food every day, just be sure to give him high-quality kibble that is specifically designed for higher energy dogs to keep him sustained throughout the day.
As with any Poodle mixed breed, the Miniature Goldendoodle is more demanding than the average pup when it comes to grooming. A metal pin brush is the best tool to tame his soft curls, especially to ensure that they do not become tangled or matted, which in itself can be quite painful.
Most owners claim that because of his fast-growing hair, and his sometimes tricky curls around his eyes and ears, they send their Mini Goldendoodle off to a professional groomer every 8 to 12 weeks. Whilst this is not necessary, it may make things a lot easier for you.
Because of his floppy ears, and especially if he finds himself in the water a lot, it is important to regularly check and clean his ears in order to keep infections at bay.
Breeders & Puppy Costs
Typing in 'Mini Goldendoodle breeders' into any online search engine will generate results, and this is the easiest and quickest way to begin your search for the perfect breeder. Just be sure to read all of their reviews and do a little digging to ensure that they are reputable and ethical. Alternatively, another great way is to join Goldendoodle groups on social media platforms and ask for recommendations.
If you aren't too keen on playing the gene lottery, and would rather have a typical Miniature Goldendoodle, then you should seek a breeder who has bred them for some time. A first-generation puppy, in the genetics world, is known as an F1 puppy. It is these guys that have a Golden Retriever mother and a Miniature Poodle father, and their pups can be wildly different from one another.
There are some breeders who will breed two Miniature Goldendoodles together, and they are second-generation Mini Goldendoodles, who are known as F2 puppies. These guys tend to be more similar and typical of the Mini Goldendoodle. Although these guys tend to be a bit more expensive, some owners prefer genetic certainty. If this is important to you then be sure to ask what generation their Miniature Goldendoodles are, and ask to see their parent's lineage papers to prove this.
The average starting price of a Mini Goldendoodle is around $1,500. As Goldendoodles, in general, are quite the sought-after designer pup, be careful not to buy your pup from an unprincipled and dishonest puppy mill, as the pups will not have had the best start to life, and they are unlikely to be as healthy as they should be.
Additionally, there are also three types of Goldendoodles. The American Goldendoodle is often more golden in its coloring, the English is paler in color and is also a bit bulkier in size, and the Australian Goldendoodle is believed to have Spaniel and Labradoodles in the earlier generations. While these are only slight differences, they are something to bear in mind.
Rescue & Shelters
As with many designer doggos they are much less likely to be found in rescue homes, so the best way to adopt one of these guys is to focus your search on breed-specific rescue centers. The Poodle Club of America Rescue Foundation lists their associated rescue centers and rescue centers dedicated to Golden Retrievers can be found here.
As Family Pets
- The Miniature Goldendoodle is a happy and friendly pup who gets along with everyone
- He is a very adaptable dog who could live in all kinds of homes.
- He does need access to at least a modestly sized backyard.
- The Mini Goldendoodle adores children, the elderly, and everyone else in between.
- The Miniature Goldendoodle also gets along well with other pets.
- He needs to be with a family that can be with him for most of the day.
- If he's left alone for long periods, he can develop separation anxiety.
- The Mini Goldendoodle needs a lot of cuddles and affection.
- He also needs between 45 to 60 minutes of walking a day.
- If he doesn't fulfill his exercise needs, he may become destructive.
- He is a low shedder, and there may be a chance that he is hypoallergenic.
Final Thoughts
As long as you prepare yourself for a pup that will inherit genes from either parent or seek a second-generation Mini Goldendoodle, then you will not be disappointed. They are lovable and boisterous dogs who just want to play and be loved by the whole family. As long as you can commit to spending time with these guys, and exercising them enough, then they will slot right into your life just perfect.
Overall, if you are having a bad day then this golden buttercup will pick you up whenever you are feeling down. So go and get yourself a canine teddy bear and get ready for the best cuddles ever!

1-0 win over Eintracht enough to secure record breaking Bundesliga title.
Bayern Munich set the record for the earliest Bundesliga title win on Saturday when they were confirmed as German champions for the 23rd time with a 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Germany star Bastian Schweinsteiger scored the decisive goal to give Bayern their 24th win from 28 league games this season and seal their first major silverware since May 2010.
"We're a strong team with a great coach, it's fantastic to have won the title," said goal-scorer Schweinsteiger.
With Bayern facing Juventus on Wednesday in the Champions League quarter-final leading 2-0 from the first leg, the win came despite coach Jupp Heynckes resting several key players.
"The fact that we have won the title after 28 games is extraordinary, it's simply fantastic," said Heynckes, having been hoisted into the air by his team after the final whistle.
"One of the things FC Bayern have demonstrated this season is that we're a top side, but we have done it with harmony in the team.
"We can be confident we will achieve something in the Champions League."
Second-placed Borussia Dortmund — champions in each of the last two seasons — won 4-2 at home to Augsburg, but could not prevent Bayern from setting a Bundesliga record for the earliest confirmed title win.
"I have no problem congratulating Bayern, they have had an outstanding season," said Dortmund midfielder Nuri Sahin.
Frankfurt coach Armin Veh was equally gratious.
"I don't begrudge Heynckes the title at all," said Veh, whose team remain fifth in the league for now.
"For me, he is a great role model and I hope that Bayern win more titles."
With six games left, Munich have an unsurmountable 20-point lead and have won their 22nd Bundesliga title.
It is their 23rd national title overall, with the Munich club also winning the old-style German championship in 1932.
Following a frantic start, Bayern defender David Alaba missed a 26th-minute penalty when he fired wide after Thomas Mueller was brought down in the area, but Schweinsteiger's second-half back-heel flick gave them three more points.
With Bayern pushing forward, captain Philipp Lahm fired in a pass for his deputy to delicately flick a shot past Frankfurt goalkeeper Oka Nikolov with his heel on 52 minutes for the decisive goal.
Dortmund host Malaga in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with all to play for after the first leg finished 0-0, and Juergen Klopp's side had to come from behind to beat Augsburg at the Signal Iduna Park.
Goalkeeper Roman Wiedenfeller, striker Robert Lewandowski, captain Sebastian Kehl and star attacking duo Mario Goetze and Marco Reus were all left out of the starting line-up.
Jonas Hofmann, 20, made his Bundesliga debut while Leonardo Bittencourt, 19, started for the first time in the league as the pair were both promoted to the midfield, and striker Julian Schieber also made a rare appearance.
Schieber needed just 22 minutes to rifle home Dotmund's opening goal against Ausgburg, who are locked in a battle with Hoffenheim — 3-0 winners against Duesseldorf on Friday — to avoid automatic relegation.
Augsburg went ahead with two goals in 80 seconds just before the half-time break, but Klopp responded by bringing on Lewandowski and Goetze early in the second half.
The changes had an immediate impact, as Lewandowski put Hofmann away on the right wing to square for Schieber to equalise with his second of the day on 52 minutes.
The Poland star then netted in the 92nd minute to extend the club record of having scored in his last 10 league games.
By doing so, he equals Klaus Allofs' overall Bundesliga record, set in 1984.
Bayer Leverkusen remain third after their 1-1 draw at home to Wolfsburg while Schalke hold fourth after their 2-0 win at Werder Bremen and Moenchengladbach moved up to sixth with a 1-0 win at home to bottom side Fuerth.
Hamburg have the chance to get back amongst the top six — and the European places — when they host Freiburg on Saturday night while Nuremberg are at home to Mainz and Hanover host Stuttgart on Sunday.

Correction to the coverage in All4Syria
All4Syria news website published an article on the 14th of August 2017. The article reported misleading and inaccurate information about SIBA and its objectives. In response to that we offer the following clarification:
- Members of SIBA will be able establish chapters in countries where and when terms and conditions for setting up a chapter are met and fulfilled and the presentation of SIBA will not be only in and limited to the countries had been listed in the article.
- The article referred to its source of information as an establishing person of SIBA. In fact the bylaws and constitution of SIBA do not indicate nor recognize or refer to any individuals as establishing member/s.
- SIBA currently is not engaged in any arrangements with the Syrian business community in diaspora in preparation for the so called "reconstruction program".
- The Board of Directors of SIBA is the only authorized source of news and information about objectives and plans and the it is only legitimate point of communications.
We would like to remind all our esteemed members and all interested parties that our objectives and plans have been clearly represented on our website www.siba.world. We hope that in the future, All4Syria and other news sources connect with our media team prior to publishing content about SIBA


text: Philanthropic giving is an essential component of many of our clients' long-term financial plans. A well-developed philanthropic strategy involves a great deal of planning; there is upfront work to prioritize specific causes and issues, followed by decisions on optimal giving structures. Finally—in keeping with the topic of this publication—there is the choice of which assets the client will donate. Many of our clients' first instinct is to make charitable gifts with cash. However, making an in-kind gift of highly appreciated securities can often be a better solution from an income-tax perspective. Structural Options Before discussing the advantages of gifting appreciated securities vs. cash, we should briefly review some of the primary philanthropic structural options. We generally discuss four main giving options with our clients. Direct gifts—in other words, outright donations of cash or other property directly to a charitable organization—are a relatively simple option and very common. When making an outright gift, you are generally entitled to an income tax deduction for the value of the gift (subject to income limitations). Donor advised funds, or DAFs, have become extremely popular, and for good reason. Gifts to a DAF are eligible for an immediate income tax deduction, but charitable distributions out of the account can be made gradually over time—this provides a great deal of flexibility to donors who may wish to deploy charitable assets gradually rather than all at once. Private foundations are a third option. They are particularly good options for families who want to move beyond gifting and become active in a more programmatic manner. When considering private foundations, families should understand the administrative burdens of such structures, as well as the fact that these foundations must distribute at least 5% of their assets annually. In contrast, DAFs do not have an annual distribution requirement; there have been recent conversations in Congress about instituting annual payout requirements for DAFs, but it is far too soon to speculate about whether this will come to pass. Another consideration: If you gift an interest in an operating business to a private foundation, you may face complications later with regard to taxes on income earned by that business. Finally, various trust structures can offer benefits to both the donor and the charitable recipient. Let's say that you wish to provide an income stream to a charity for a period of time while retaining your principal for yourself or your heirs. You can create a charitable lead trust to accomplish this. Conversely, you may wish to establish an income stream from a pool of capital for yourself during your lifetime, and then bequeath that capital to a charity at your death or at some fixed future date. In this case, you would use a charitable remainder trust. Using these types of structures adds complexity to a philanthropic plan, but trusts can be highly effective for clients who want a synergistic strategy that produces positive outcomes for family and charity at the same time. We often work with clients to help them develop their philanthropic strategy, and, as mentioned previously in this publication, we find that our role in advising clients on both investment and tax matters can be quite helpful. For example, we can effectively address the need to reduce portfolio risk with a set of actions that also achieve desired charitable goals. In some cases, we work alongside the philanthropic advisors of the community foundations and other organizations that our clients wish to support, reviewing the variety of solutions that these organizations offer their donors and choosing the strategies that best fit each client's goals and circumstances. Gifting Appreciated Assets As noted above, many people primarily think about gifting with cash, but a gift of a low-cost-basis asset can provide tangible benefits to the donor. Consider a donor who purchased stock at $20 that is currently worth $100. If the donor sold that stock, after capital gains taxes, they might have $80 or less to donate to charity. A better solution would be to gift that stock directly. The donor would be eligible for a tax deduction for the full $100 fair-market value of the stock (again, subject to income limitations). The charity could sell the stock for $100 and because it is tax-exempt would not need to pay any capital gains tax, thus benefiting from the full $100 donated. Beyond this basic equation, there are other ways we have helped clients leverage appreciated holdings for charitable purposes. For example, if a client is attached to a family legacy holding that provides a healthy dividend, they might want to place that stock in a private foundation or even a charitable lead trust and direct those dividends to charities of their choice. This would remove the risk of the concentrated position from their personal portfolio while still allowing them to use the position to accomplish philanthropic objectives. It is a privilege to help our clients make an impact in the world. By being thoughtful about each specific step in the philanthropic process, we aim to help them maximize that impact.

Looking Inside to Make Sense of What's Outside
One of my favorite literary characters of all time may surprise you.
Sage and sacrificial, Lord of the Flies Simon has always fascinated me. His role in William Golding's transcendent novel is brief, his dialogue is terse and wise-beyond-his-years, his death is swift and symbolic. Representative of the spiritual side of humanity, Simon understood the island and its horror long before the rest of the boys and was powerless to make them understand what was happening.
In one particular exchange with Piggy, the scientific yin to Simon's spiritual yang, Simon delivers a line that has stayed with me, and served as a mantra, for twenty years.
Piggy: I know there isn't no beast…but I know there isn't no fear, either….Unless we get frightened of people.
Simon: Maybe there is a beast….maybe it's only us.
As Piggy struggles to convince the paranoid crowd that, scientifically speaking, there is no such thing as a beast, Simon struggles just as mightily to communicate that the beast is in fact real; it's just not what the boys think it is. Giving into their primal bloodlust, he opines, is the beast. Unfortunately, such a theory, though valid, is simply inaccessible to the rest of the boys, and shortly thereafter, Simon is proven correct when he is murdered by the very group he was unable to convince.
Without diving headlong too far down an analytical rabbit hole, suffice it to say that Simon's prescient warning speaks volumes about our innate capacity for everything from fear to empathy. For some, that which is "only us" drives us to greatness, fosters our relationships, and strengthens our resolve. For others, it is because of what is "only us" that we cannot do or be more than we are.
Now consider what is "only us" for our staff and for our kids.
For so many of our kids, we are the only adults who they can look up to and whom they trust.
For each other, we are our only internal support system. We prop each other up during those times when state test scores and bureaucratic mandates cut us off at the knees.
For ourselves, we are the only ones who can truly experience the elation of a positive connection with one student or the utter desperation marked by the inability to reach another.
Regardless of how we associate with Simon's warning, placing the emphasis on the word only or on the word us, we need to accept that there is, in fact, something inside each of us that led us to this profession, that keeps us here year after year.
Maybe that "thing" changes over time. Maybe that "thing" is the only constant in a life full of variables. Maybe that "thing" isn't all that hard to express after all.
Maybe it's only us.

Congress Approves Bill to Protect Fishing Industry During Natural Disasters
CHILE - The House of Representatives has unanimously approved a bill which establishes permanent regulations to deal with the consequences of natural disasters in the fisheries sector.
The initiative, which was requested by parliamentarians from the Region of Coquimbo, works to protect the rights of fishermen and applies flexible rules in situations of loss and when fishermen are unable to operate vessels after natural disasters.
The standard is intended to address the special situation of those who suffer severe damage or total destruction of their ships and boats as a result of a natural disaster, as happened on 16 September in the Region of Coquimbo.
This will allow for the quick rebuilding of boats and also that their rights are not undermined by the failure to conduct operations.
The Minister of Economy, Development and Tourism, Luis Felipe Céspedes, said: "This bill, which was requested by the parliamentarians of the Coquimbo Region, is a complement to the efforts of the government in the productive recovery of the fisheries sector of the Coquimbo Region and will allow for the protection of the rights of those fishermen affected by the catastrophe in September."
The Undersecretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Raul Súnico, explained: "In the last five years the fishing industry has been hit by three major natural disasters in which hundreds of fishermen have lost their tools so this project will be a huge help to support recovery in the case of Coquimbo, but also creates permanent rules to address future situations of this kind."

Mendon to vote on two overrides tonight
Residents will vote tonight on two Proposition 2 1/2 tax override proposals that would provide a total of $682,096 to the town and schools.
One special Town Meeting article, Article 7, is for $409,646 to pay for some items that had to be cut when the town passed its fiscal 2012 budget in May. The other article, Article 8, is for $272,450 to restore some of the cuts made in the fiscal 2012 Mendon-Upton Regional School District budget.
In May, the town passed a $13.54 million fiscal '12 budget that was actually down from the fiscal '11 budget of $13.56 million and rejected a $929,979 override proposal that would have cost the owner of a $400,000 home an extra $477 a year.
If both overrides pass tonight, taxes will go up $350 for a person who owns a $400,000 home, said Finance Committee member Rich Schofield. If just the $409,646 override passes, taxes will go up $210, and if just the $272,450 school override passes, taxes will go up $140.
Town Coordinator Dale Pleau said an override tends to be a contentious topic and for many residents it can be an emotional issue that gains a lot of attention.
"There is a fair amount of interest, so I'm assuming there will be a fair turnout," said Pleau.
Town Clerk Margaret Bonderenko wouldn't put a number on the anticipated turnout, though she thinks it will be higher than usual.
Bonderenko added that she hopes the overrides will pass.
"We do need it," she said. "There are going to be a lot of cuts, and people should know that they are going to be directly affected."
If the $409,646 override does not pass, the Police Department will continue with its plans to cut two officers and reduce clerk hours. Overnight ambulance coverage will be eliminated, as will the library's children programs.
At the school district, if the $272,450 override doesn't pass, about 17 teachers and four aide positions will be cut.
The overrides and cuts have been divisive issues, but Bonderenko hopes tonight's meeting won't be too heated.
"People are passionate," she said.
Pleau said he anticipates the process will go well.
"Now it's just up to the people to make the decision because it's their taxes, their money," said Pleau.
"People have strong opinions on both sides of the issue," said Moderator Jay Byer. "But people are usually cordial and respectful of each other at these types of meetings."
The special Town Meeting will be held in the auditorium at Miscoe Hill School at 148 North Ave. at 7 p.m. Byer encourages people to arrive between 15 and 20 minutes early to check in.
Before special Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen will have an open meeting at 6 p.m. at Town Hall to discuss administrative issues.

Student organization leaders briefly started an anti-Trump coalition after the presidential election, but the group recently parted ways after a disagreement over whether or not to include a nonviolence clause in the group's mission statement.
On Nov. 10, members of at least 25 student organizations came to the first meeting for the group, collectively called the GW Coalition for Intersectional Justice, according to meeting minutes obtained by The Hatchet. But the group fractured in their second meeting Nov. 20 when some student leaders opposed mandating nonviolence, which kept protesting students from burning flags and practicing self-defense in potential altercations with President Donald Trump's supporters.
Of the 25 organizations represented at the first meeting, seven either declined to comment or denied involvement and 14 did not return requests for comment.
Jesus Montes, the director of communications for the GW Mexican Students Association, said he attended the meetings in District House with about 50 other student organization leaders interested in co-sponsoring protests and events protesting Trump.
"The Mexican Student Association wanted to participate to convey disagreement on how the new administration was going to act towards undocumented individuals, especially DACA students who are enrolled in GW," Montes said.
DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a policy that allows undocumented citizens who came to the U.S. as children to request a postponement of immigration for two years.
The coalition planned to host "teach-ins" in Kogan Plaza about concerns students have over the Trump administration and other events and protests, according to a meeting agenda obtained by The Hatchet.
The first meeting turned sour when a member of the Mexican Students Association proposed adding a nonviolence clause to the group's mission statement, Montes said. He said the Mexican Students Association's executive board had discussed the idea before coming to the meeting.
"We didn't want this protest to be either violent or misconstrued to be violent," Montes said. "We didn't want our organization or GW to be defaced if something were to happen."
The suggestion opened up a series of debates, with some attendees saying student protesters should be able to use self-defense if, for instance, a Trump supporter struck them during an event – something that happened during some campaign rallies when Trump was a candidate.
Other student leaders countered that not adding the clause could open the coalition up to receiving potential blame if an unaffiliated, random person became violent and their actions were blamed on the group, Montes said.
Vandalism, like breaking windows, was not proposed in the meeting, although there was discussion of burning the American flag, which the Mexican Students Association and other groups did not support, he said.
"It's only going to deface us, and it's going to incite the other side," Montes said he told others. "They're going to use this against us, and it's just going to make everything worse."
The group organizers were responsible for a University-wide walk-out Nov. 15, a protest discussed in the coalition's first meeting, Montes said. The event began in Kogan Plaza and ended at the White House and included about 400 students.
The walk-out was co-sponsored by at least 12 student organizations, including the Feminist Student Union, the Progressive Student Union and Fossil Free GW. The coalition was never officially listed as an organizer of the protest, and only seven of the 12 co-sponsoring organizations were represented at the first group meeting, according to meeting minutes obtained by The Hatchet.
After the initial disagreements among student leaders, at least 38 students attended a second coalition meeting Nov. 20, during which members voted to adopt the name "GW Coalition for Intersectional Justice," according to documents obtained by The Hatchet.
Members also drafted the mission statement during the meeting, stating that the group "rejects the past, present and future normalization of discrimination and violence in all forms against marginalized people," according to meeting minutes.
Although not explicitly in the mission statement, a note regarding the need for "nonviolent active resistance" appeared in a subsection of the statement.
Montes said the group began to dissolve during the final exam period in December. The Mexican Students Association remained in contact with coalition leaders during that time, but official meetings stopped, he said.
Henry Klapper, the president of the Progressive Student Union and a former Hatchet reporter, said his organization is not currently with the group. Coalition meeting minutes listed PSU as one of the 25 organizations represented.
"As far as we know, that coalition isn't active any longer, though we continue to commit to stand in solidarity with all student groups and individuals who are threatened by the hateful policies of the Trump administration," Klapper said.

Mr. J. E. Jamison and Mr. Jeremy Kosky of Clifford Chance, a law firm in London)
Alleged victim:The author
State Party:Jamaica

The Human Rights Committee, established under article 28 of the International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights,
Meeting on 31 October2001,
Having concluded its consideration of communication No. 695/1996, submitted to the Human Rights Committee by Mr. Devon Simpson under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
Having taken into account all written information made available to it by the author of the communication, and the State party,
Adopts the following:
Views under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol
1.The author of the communication (initial submission dated 19 March 1996) is Devon Simpson, a Jamaican citizen, born on 17 August 1952, at the time of submission awaiting execution in St. Catherine's District Prison, Jamaica. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment on 24 February 1998. The author claims to be a victim of violations of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, and 14, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. He is represented by counsel.
Facts as presented by the author
2.1On 15 August 1991, the author was arrested on suspicion of murder. He was assaulted by the police and was refused medical treatment. He did not bring this matter to the attention of the authorities, as he was not aware that the beatings violated his rights. He was kept in a cell with 17 other inmates at the Half-Way-Tree Police Lock Up, where some of the inmates had already been convicted. Shortly afterwards, he was moved to the General Prison, where he shared a cell of 8 by 4 feet with five other inmates. There was no artificial light in the cell, no slop bucket, and he was only allowed to use the toilet once a day.
2.2The author was provided with a lawyer by the Court Registrar as he did not have the means to hire one privately. He did not meet his lawyer before the preliminary hearing and his representation at the preliminary hearing was poor. The author's lawyer was not present for the hearing of two of the four prosecution witnesses as he claimed that he had to leave to be present in another court.
2.3At trial the author was represented by three lawyers. The author only met one of the lawyers on one occasion for 15 minutes before the beginning of the trial. The lawyers did not sufficiently challenge the evidence against the author. In particular, the description given by one of the prosecution witnesses of the attacker, did not correspond with his physical characteristics, and this was not sufficiently pointed out by the author's lawyer. Consultations between the author and his lawyers during the trial were irregular.
2.4At the beginning of the trial, the author was charged with two counts of non-capital murder. However, on the fifth day of the trial, the Judge allowed the amendment of the charges to capital murder. The author was re-arraigned, although, apparently by error, the charges put to the author were again charges of non-capital murder. Despite this, the judge appears to have assumed that he was hearing a capital murder trial. The author states that as a result of the amendment, he became nervous and consequently did not give a clear statement from the dock.
2.5On 6 November 1992, the author was convicted of two offences of capital murder and sentenced to death by the Home Circuit Court in Kingston.
2.6Since his conviction, the author has been confined in a cell alone for periods of up to 22 hours each day, most of his waking time is spent in darkness making it impossible for him to keep occupied. Slop buckets are used, filled with human waste and stagnant water, and only emptied once per day. There is also no running water provided in the author's cell. Consequently, the author has to wait until he is released to get running water which he then stores in a bottle. It is also stated that the author slept on cardboard and newspapers on concrete until October 1994 when he was provided with an old mattress.
2.7For several years the author has been experiencing an undiagnosed and untreated medical condition giving rise to symptoms of great pain and swelling in his testicle. He complains of a back problem, from which he has suffered since childhood, and which makes it difficult for him to sit upright for a long period of time. He has also developed eye problems because of the darkness in his cell. Although he was visited by a doctor in prison, the tablets the author has been given do not provide any relief and he has been refused specialist treatment.
2.8Leave to appeal against convictions was granted by the Court of Appeal and the appeal was heard from 13 to 15 April and on 9 May 1994. The Court of Appeal allowed the author's appeal against both convictions of capital murder. It substituted convictions of non-capital murder, and passed a sentence of death upon the author, pursuant to section 3 (1A) of the Offences Against the Person (Amendment) Act 1992, which provides that multiple convictions of non-capital murder carry the death sentence. The author then appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; the author's counsel considered that there were no grounds in law to appeal against conviction and petitioned solely against sentence. Special leave to appeal as a poor person was granted and the appeal was heard on 12 February 1996; on 7 March 1996, the Privy Council refused the appeal and upheld the imposition of the death sentence.
2.9On 19 March 1996 the author, through his lawyers, petitioned the Human Rights Committee that a stay of execution be requested under rule 86 of its rules of procedure. On 4 April 1996, the author was placed in the "condemned cell" where a warrant for his execution on 18 April 1996 was read to him. On 11 April 1996, the Human Rights Committee, through its Special Rapporteur for New Communications, requested the State party not to carry out the death sentence against Simpson while his communication was under examination by the Committee. On 12 April 1996, the State party granted the author a stay of execution.
The complaint
3.1Counsel claims that the author is a victim of violations of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant. The author was held in St. Catherine's District Prison on death row for over five years, which is said to constitute inhuman and degrading treatment. Counsel submits that, according to the Privy Council's judgement in Earl Pratt & Ivan Morgan v. the Attorney General of Jamaica [1994] 2 AC 1, "... in any case in which an execution is to take place more than 5 years after sentence there will be strong grounds for believing the delay is such as to constitute inhuman or degrading punishment or other treatment".
3.2Additionally, counsel claims that: (a) the conditions, described above in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.6, in which the author has been detained since his arrest, as well as his lack of medical treatmentdescribed above in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.7, amount themselves to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment, in breach of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant; and (b) the period of delay, when addressed in the context of the conditions of detention and lack of medical treatment, constitutes a breach of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant. In this respect, counsel submits that numerous non-governmental organizations have reported on the appalling conditions of the prison regime at St. Catherine's District Prison, observing that the facilities are poor: no mattresses, bedding or furniture in the cells; no sanitation in the cells; broken plumbing, piles of refuse and open sewers; until 1994 there was no artificial lighting in the cells; there are only small air vents through which natural light can enter; no employment opportunities available to inmates; no proper facilities to wash and infrequent permission to wash; no doctor attached to the prison, so that medical problems are generally treated by warders who receive very limited training; and inmates on death row occupy single cells where they are generally confined more than 18 hours per day.
3.3Counsel cites the Committee's Views on communication No. 458/1991 (A. Mukong v. Cameroon), in which the Committee stated that "certain minimum standards regarding the conditions of detention must be observed regardless of the State party's level of development. (...) It should be noted that these are minimum requirements which the Committee considers should always be observed, even if economic or budgetary considerations may make compliance with these obligations difficult".
3.4Counsel also claims that the author is a victim of article 14, paragraph 3 (g), because he was assaulted in the police station after his arrest.
3.5In addition, counsel complains about the mental anguish, caused to the author by his placement in the "condemned cell". It is argued that the author's state of mind at the time rested so much on the belief that a stay of execution would be put in place, that the failure of the Human Rights Committee to issue a rule 86 request, seeking a stay of execution on behalf of the author, within a reasonable time was inhuman and degrading.
3.6Counsel refers to the irregularity in amending the charges against the author during the trial, and claims that the irregularity was such that the Court of Appeal should have ordered a retrial, rather than correcting it on paper by substituting convictions of non-capital murder. It is alleged that the Court of Appeal's failure to do so amounts to a violation of article 14, paragraph 1, in that the author was denied a fair trial.
3.7It is also argued that, because of the amendment to the charges on the fifth day of the trial, article 14, paragraph 3 (a) and (b), were violated, since the author did not have time to communicate with his attorney about the true nature of the charge against him, and did not appreciate the consequence of the charges being upheld. It is argued that the defence may well have been conducted differently, if the author had been informed at the outset that he would be charged with capital murder. In this context, it is pointed out that the author's case was one of the first to be tried under the Offences against the Person (Amendment) Act 1992, and that Jamaican practitioners at the time were still grappling with the meaning and implications of the amended Act.
3.8It is further claimed that, prior to the preliminary hearing, the author had inadequate time and facilities to prepare his defence and communicate with his attorney, in violation of article 14, paragraph 3 (b), and an inadequate opportunity to examine or procure witnesses, in violation of article 14, paragraph 3 (e). In this context, counsel claims that the fact that the author did not meet with his lawyerprior to the preliminary hearing violates paragraph 3 (b), and his lawyer's failure to be present for the examination of two of the witnesses violates paragraph 3 (e). Counsel claims that as there was insufficient preparation for his preliminary hearing, this culminated in poor quality representation at the trial hearing. Counsel also claims a violation of article 14, paragraph 3 (b) because of the lack of consultation he had with his lawyer prior to the hearing itself. He claims that the author was only allowed 15 minutes with his lawyer when the prison warden asked her to leave. In addition, counsel claims a violation of article 14, paragraph 3 (e) because of counsel's behaviour during the trial as described in paragraph 2.3 above.
3.9Counsel notes that with the Privy Council's decision, all available domestic remedies have been exhausted. He adds that a constitutional motion to the Supreme (Constitutional) Court of Jamaica is not a remedy available to the author. Counsel further claims that constitutional remedies are in practice not available to indigents such as his client, since the State party does not provide legal aid for constitutional motions. He also claims that administrative remedies available to the author do not give a reasonable prospect of success.
State party's submission on admissibility and counsel's comments thereon
4.1In its submission of 10 October 1996, the State party denies that the length of the author's stay on death row constitutes a breach of the Covenant and refers to the Committee's jurisprudence. The State party also denies that the conditions of the author's detention on death row constitute a violation of article 10 of the Covenant.
4.2In a further submission, dated 12 March 1997, the State party addresses the author's complaint concerning the amendment of the charges against him. The State party notes that this complaint was addressed by the Court of Appeal which chose to substitute convictions of non‑capital murder. However, this decision did not affect the death sentence, because the Court of Appeal held that under the applicable statute the sentence for capital murder and for the instant case of multiple non-capital murder was the same. Thus, the State party is of the opinion that the matter was adequately dealt with by the Court of Appeal.
4.3As to the manner in which counsel conducted the defence at trial, the State party does not accept that there was a breach of the Covenant for which the State can be held responsible. The State party explains that a thorough reading of the Act would show that where a person is convicted of more than one offence of non-capital murder, the outcome will be a death sentence.
4.4With regard to the author's claim that he was assaulted by the police upon arrest, the State party notes that he did not bring this matter to the attention of the authorities, allegedly because he did not know that the beatings violated his rights. The State party finds this very difficult to believe and states that in the absence of any evidence to support the author's allegation, it does not accept that the alleged beating occurred.
4.5With regard to the author's representation at the preliminary hearing, the State party submits that it is its responsibility to appoint competent counsel, but denies any responsibility for the way counsel conducts the defence.
4.6The State party indicates that, with respect to the alleged violations of articles 7 and 10 (1), it will investigate the allegations concerning the alleged lack of medical treatment as well as the circumstances under which the author was placed in the condemned cell.
5.1In a letter, the author states that on 5 March 1997, during a search, the warders destroyed his bed, some of his clothes, and some documents he had in his cell. They also removed his light bulb.
5.2In his comments on the State party's submission on 12 March 1997, counsel argues that it is not enough for the State party to say that the result of the trial was fair, even though the conduct of the trial was irregular. Counsel underlines that the effect of the last minute amendment to the charges was not confined to the sentence, but had an impact on the author's mental state, which in turn affected the way and the extent to which he was able to participate in the conduct of his own defence. According to counsel, this may have affected the nature of the evidence adduced in Court. The Court of Appeal should thus have ordered a retrial and not simply substituted the sentence.
5.3With regard to the representation at the preliminary hearing, counsel argues that any lawyer who fails to listen to the evidence of two out of four of the prosecution witnesses and who fails to discuss the case with his client before the hearing cannot be described as "competent".
Admissibility considerations
6.1During its sixty-fourth session, the Committee considered the admissibility of the communication.
6.2With regard to counsel's claim that there was insufficient time to prepare the author's defence, since his lawyers came to see him only once before the trial, the Committee noted that it would have been for the author's representatives or the author himself to request an adjournment at the beginning of the trial, if they felt that they did not have enough time to prepare the defence. It appears from the trial transcript that no adjournment was sought at the beginning of the trial, and that on a further occasion, an adjournment was granted by the judge to the defence counsel to study new evidence. The Committee considered therefore that this claim was inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol, as being unsubstantiated. (para. 3.8)
6.3With respect to the complaint that the author's representative did not properly cross examine the witnesses against him, the Committee recalled its jurisprudence that a State party cannot be held responsible for the conduct of a defence lawyer, unless it was or should have been manifest to the judge that the lawyer's behaviour was incompatible with the interests of justice. The Committee were of the view that, in this instant case, there was no reason to believe that counsel at trial was not using her professional judgement in the interests of her client, and this part of the communication was thus considered inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol. (para. 3.8)
6.4With regard to the claim under article 14, paragraph 3 (a) and (b), in respect of the amended charges against the author, the Committee noted that any irregularity caused by the amendment of the charges in this respect was redressed by the Court of Appeal's decision to quash the convictions of capital murder. This part of the communication was thus considered inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol. (para. 3.7)
6.5With regard to the claim that the Court of Appeal's decision to change the author's convictions of capital murder to convictions of non-capital murder amounted to a denial of justice, and that the Court should have ordered a retrial instead, the Committee noted that this matter was not raised at the hearing of the author's appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, where the only issue argued was the sentence, not the convictions. This part of the communication was thus considered inadmissible for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies. (para. 3.6)
6.6With regard to the claim that the author was beaten upon arrest and that he was not given any medical treatment in August 1991, the Committee noted that this claim was not brought to the attention of the authorities on any occasion before the author's complaint to the Committee. This part of the communication was thus considered inadmissible for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies. (para. 2.1)
6.7On the issue of a violation of articles 7 and 10, paragraph 1, of the Covenant because of the time the author spent on death row, the Committee referred to its jurisprudence that detention on death row for a specific period of time does not violate the Covenant, in the absence of further compelling circumstances. In the instant case, the Committee considered that, as the author had not invoked any ground, other than the period of time, in substantiation of his claim, this part of the communication was inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol. (para. 3.1)
6.8With regard to the claim that the author suffered mental anguish because he was read a warrant of execution although his lawyer had presented a communication to the Human Rights Committee, the Committee considered that the fact that it had not requested a stay of execution before the warrant of execution was read to the author, cannot amount to a violation of the Covenant attributable to the State party. This part of the communication was thus considered inadmissible under article 1 of the Optional Protocol. (para. 3.5)
6.9The Committee noted that the State party had indicated that it would investigate the author's complaints concerning the conditions of the author's detention and the lack of medical treatment. The Committee considered that these claims, as well as the author's claims concerning the conditions of his pretrial detention, are admissible and should be examined on the merits.
6.10The Committee also considered that the claim that the author's representative at the preliminary hearing was absent for the hearing of two out of four prosecution witnesses may raise issues under article 14, paragraph 1 and 3 (d), which should be examined on the merits.
Issues and proceedings before the Committee
7.1The Human Rights Committee has considered the present communication in the light of all the information made available to it by the parties, as provided for in article 5, paragraph 1, of the Optional Protocol. The Committee notes with concern that the State party has not provided any further information clarifying the matters raised by this communication since the decision on the admissibility of the communication. The Committee recalls that it is implicit in article 4, paragraph 2, of the Optional Protocol, that a State party examine in good faith all the allegations brought against it, and that it provide the Committee with all the information at its disposal. In the light of the failure of the State party to cooperate with the Committee on the matter before it, due weight must be given to the authors' allegations, to the extent that they have been substantiated.
7.2As to the allegation of a violation of articles 7 and 10 of the Covenant, the Committee notes that counsel has provided specific and detailed allegations concerning inappropriate conditions of detention prior to his trial and since his conviction, and lack of medical treatment. The State party has not responded to these allegations with specific responses but in its initial submission merely denies that the conditions constitute a violation of the Covenant and then goes on to say that it would investigate these allegations, including the allegation of the failure to provide medical treatment (para. 4.6). The Committee notes that the State party has not informed the Committee of the outcome of its investigations. In the absence of any explanation from the State party, the Committee considers that the author's conditions of detention and his lack of medical treatment as described violate his right to be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person and are therefore contrary to article 10, paragraph 1. In light of this finding in respect of article 10, a provision which deals with the situation of persons deprived of their liberty and encompasses the elements set out generally in article 7, it is not necessary to consider separately the claims arising under that article. (para. 3.2)
7.3 With respect to counsel's allegation that the author's lawyer was absent for the hearing of two of the four witnesses during the preliminary hearing, the Committee decided in its admissibility decision that this allegation may raise issues under article 14, paragraph 1 and paragraph 3 (d). The Committee recalls its prior jurisprudence that it is axiomatic that legal assistance be available at all stages of criminal proceedings, particularly in capital cases. It also recalls its decision in communication No. 775/1997 (Brown v. Jamaica), adopted on 23 March 1999, in which it decided that a magistrate should not proceed with the deposition of witnesses during a preliminary hearing without allowing the author an opportunity to ensure the presence of his lawyer. In the present case, the Committee notes that it is not disputed that the author's lawyer was absent during the hearing of two of the witnesses nor does it appear that the magistrate adjourned the proceedings until her return. Accordingly, the Committee finds that the facts before it disclose a violation of article 14, paragraph 3 (d), of the Covenant. (para. 3.8)
8.The Human Rights Committee, acting under article 5, paragraph 4, of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, is of the view that the facts as found by the Committee reveal a violation by Jamaica of articles 10, and 14, paragraph 3 (d) of the Covenant.
9.Pursuant to article 2, paragraph 3 (a), of the Covenant, the Committee considers that the author is entitled to an appropriate remedy, including adequate compensation, an improvement in the present conditions of detention and due consideration of early release.
10.Bearing in mind that, by becoming a State party to the Optional Protocol, the State party has recognized the competence of the Committee to determine whether there has been a violation of the Covenant or not and that, pursuant to article 2 of the Covenant, the State party has undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the Covenant to provide an effective and enforceable remedy in case a violation has been established, the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within 90 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to its Views.

McCown, Chiefs' poor discipline lead Jets to wild 38-31 win
NEXT UP: Chiefs at home vs. Oakland next Sunday
NEXT UP: Chiefs at home vs. Oakland next Sunday
Josh McCown scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 2:15 left, and the New York Jets bounced back from a brutal start to hold on for a wild and wacky 38-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 21-yard field goal to put the Jets (5-7) ahead with 3:55 left. But Kansas City's Bennie Logan was called for a personal foul for hitting long snapper Thomas Hennessy on the play. That gave the Jets the ball at the 1 with a new set of downs.
After two running plays, McCown threw incomplete - but Steven Nelson was penalized for defensive holding, making it first-and-goal from the 2. Three plays later, McCown kept the ball and shoved his way into the end zone.
McCown's pass on the 2-point conversion was incomplete, but Nelson was called for holding. An enraged Marcus Peters picked up the penalty flag and tossed it away, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Elijah McGuire ran it in moments later to convert the 2-point play and make it 38-31.
McCown finished with 331 yards passing and a touchdown to Matt Forte, and ran for two scores - including the winner. Jermaine Kearse had nine catches for 157 yards and Robby Anderson caught eight passes for 107 yards as the Jets dominated in time of possession, but still had to hold their breath in the end.
After Tyreek Hill's 40-yard catch put the ball at the Jets 23, Smith completed a 4-yard pass to Travis Kelce, who had two early touchdowns. But Smith was then incomplete on three straight passes.
The loss by the Chiefs (6-6) ruined the return of cornerback Darrelle Revis, who made his debut with Kansas City after signing a two-year deal last week. Revis, who played eight years over two stints with the Jets, started for the Chiefs, but spent the second half on the sideline.
Kansas City has dropped six of its last seven after opening the season 5-0. Meanwhile, New York kept its faint playoff hopes alive by snapping a two-game skid and holding on to a fourth-quarter lead. The Jets had blown leads in the fourth quarter of three of their last four losses.
Hill had put the Chiefs ahead 31-30 on a 40-yard touchdown catch. The drive was helped by a personal foul penalty on the Jets' ArDarius Stewart on the kickoff.
Smith finished with 366 yards passing, with four TD tosses, two to Hill, who had six receptions for 185 yards.
After Harrison Butker's 36-yard field goal gave the Chiefs a 17-14 lead, McCown led the Jets to a go-ahead 11-yard touchdown pass to Matt Forte. Catanzaro's 27-yarder late in the third quarter put New York ahead 24-17, capping an 18-play, 72-yard drive that took 9 minutes, 31 seconds to open the second half.
But the Chiefs struck back on their next play from scrimmage, Smith finding Hill, who zipped past Rashard Robinson in coverage, for a 79-yard touchdown to tie the game.
Catanzaro booted a 47-yarder on New York's next possession. He added a 38-yarder early in the fourth quarter to make it 30-24.
Smith and the Chiefs got things going early, marching 75 yards on five plays - capping the drive with a 22-yard touchdown catch by a wide-open Kelce 2:38 into the game.
ESPN reported before the game that Chiefs coach Andy Reid was handing the offensive play-calling duties to coordinator Matt Nagy, and it appeared to work well early. Smith found Kelce - wide open, again - to make it 14-0 less than five minutes in.
The Jets showed some signs of life, though, with Bilal Powell scoring on a 1-yard run in the opening quarter one play after McGuire's 9-yard touchdown run was overturned by video review, which showed that the rookie running back's left foot stepped out of bounds at the 1.
New York had another impressive drive to tie it at 14 late in the opening quarter, capped by McCown's sneak from 1 yard.
Smith helped set up a field goal for the Chiefs when he scrambled out of trouble on second-and-10 from the 14 for a career-best 70 yards late in the second quarter. It was the Chiefs' longest run of the season, but not the best ever by a Kansas City quarterback. That was Steve Bono's 76-yarder against Arizona in 1995.
New York linebacker Darron Lee was a surprise inactive, which Todd Bowles called a coach's decision. Also, defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was benched for most of the first quarter - also a coach's decision - before entering with 39 seconds left before the second period.
Butker was wide right on a 38-yard attempt that grazed the right upright in the second quarter. It ended Butker's franchise record of 23 straight field goals made. Butker's only previous miss was a 46-yarder against Washington on the first attempt of his NFL career.
Chiefs: Center Mitch Morse was carted to the locker room with an unspecified injury. Zach Fulton replaced him and Bryan Witzmann took over Fulton's spot at left guard.
Chiefs: home vs. Oakland next Sunday.
Jets: at Denver next Sunday.

Singer-actress Miley Cyrus took to Instagram to pay tribute to her musical inspiration and fiancé Liam Hemsworth, saying she can only write songs about him.
The songstress posted a photograph of herself sitting in her pyjamas on a bed playing music with an acoustic guitar, reports elleuk.com.
With her hair scraped back into a bun, she captioned the image: "Seems all I can do… is write songs about you". She also added in heart symbols and musical note emojis.
Last month, Cyrus came out with "Malibu" which had references to Hemsworth, who is known for films like "The Last Song", "The Hunger Games", "The Dressmaker" and "Independence Day: Resurgence" – which will find its way onto the Indian small screen on Star Movies and Star Movies HD on August 15.
At the moment, Hemsworth is busy shooting "Isn't It Romantic" in New York with Rebel Wilson. The film also stars Indian actress Priyanka Chopra.

AAIB investigation to Boeing 737-36Q, G-GDFT
Smoke in cabin/cockpit and emergency evacuation, East Midlands Airport, 03 September 2014.
The aircraft landed at East Midlands Airport following an electrical failure in flight, which the crew diagnosed as a failure of the battery busbar . As the aircraft taxied towards its parking stand, an acrid smoke haze appeared within the cabin and flight deck and an emergency evacuation was carried out. Although the aircraft was successfully evacuated, cabin communication difficulties were encountered, due to the failure of the PA system and a fault with a loud hailer unit.
The battery bus failure was caused by one or more loose R1 relay terminals, leading to a break in electrical continuity. The acrid smoke in the cabin and cockpit was a direct result of the relay failure. The loss of the air cycle machine (ACM) cooling fans caused dust and oil residue to burn off the hot metal duct surfaces in the air conditioning system and the resulting fumes entered the cabin, prompting the evacuation.

Development Skills
I was proficient in XHTML, Javascript (especially DOM manipulation and XMLHtttpRequest), and CSS, as well as Perl, back when I was still actively doing web development (2003-2005). A little something I was working on back then was a webforum powered by AJAX. I never completed it, and it still lingers around in its incomplete state -- http://nerdforum.tripod.com
Now, my interests have moved towards desktop applications. I am currently familiar with Python, Bash, C and C++, as well as Java, though my language of choice is C++. I am in the midst of development of a download manager, written with Gtkmm, Curl (thinking of changing to CurlPP), and the boost libraries. It does not have a name yet as the only name I had come up with (HyperGet) was already taken.
