CAMDEN Ś Mayor Dana L. Redd drew sharp criticism across the aisles when the one-term Democratic mayor made the egregious decision to lay off her entire police force last year, to merge with a County-run Metro Police Force. On Wednesday, city businesses said that ReddÆs decision saved their businesses.
ōI noticed a big difference with the new police force. Police are visible,ö Steve Saulters, a pizza delivery guy for MarioÆs Pizza on Haddon Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood said. ōPeople would get murdered and on a normal day six to ten guys would be hanging out in the front of the pizza shop,ö he said.
Saulters, 47, a Camden native said he will never forget the time he got robbed at gun point during a routine food delivery.
ōAs I went up the stairs in an apartment complex, there were people standing there Ś one of the guys pulled out a gun on me. The other guy pulled the pizza out of my hand and took off running.ö
SaultersÆ boss, Mario Eleseoud, who manages the pizzeria, said he struggled with attracting customers because of the thugs that would hang out in front of his establishment all-day before the new county police force.
ōPeople were afraid to come here. Thanks to Metro, no one hangs out in front of my business any longer.ö
Located next door, Quazee Hair Company, a barbershop where Nardy Hornsby is employed as a barber. Hornsby said that Camden is often portrayed as ætrashÆ and that the reputation is not fair to the decent and good-hearted people that reside there.
ōI see cops walking the streets. I feel safe working in the city. We need jobs here for the young people who arenÆt college materials.ö
Dan Keashen, director of communications for Camden County, credited the county police force for the presence in the cityÆs business community.
ōThe metro force is strengthening the public safety apparatus to make residents feel safe. Merchants and residents feel safer within the city limits.ö
Keashen said that the city was paying $62 million a year to employ 250 officers and a handful of civilian police aides. By next year with the same budget, they will have 411 officersÆ and 110 aides.
HornsbyÆs co-barber, Nathan, who requested to be identified by his first name only, said that the cityÆs schools system is the key to changing the city.
ōWe have very young kids who canÆt read or write on grade-level,ö Nathan said. ōCamden high schoolÆs graduation rate is very low.ö
Camden High and Woodrow Wilson High, the cityÆs two public high schools dropout rate is listed at 49.27 percent in 2012 according to documents. The high dropout rates and low test scores prompted state officials to take over the cityÆs troubled school district last March. Since the stateÆs takeover, little progress has been made in the test scores category.
Al Rose has owned a pharmacy in the Fairview Section for the last 41 years. His business is directly in front of a city park that authorities say, once was a park filled with open-air drug traffic and vagrants.
ōNow itÆs really safe. I see police officers walking the beat. When I look out of the window, I see officers watching,ö Rose said.
RoseÆs pharmacy has been burglarized three times. He said that burglars stole painkillers and narcotics from his business. Despite the burglaries, RoseÆs business is on the increase. ōOur business has increased at least 20 percent since the Metro police force was created.ö
As Margaret French walked into Rose pharmacy to pick up her medicine, The Trentonian asked her about safety. She pointed out the difference in the once troubled park across from the pharmacy.
ōPeople were always doing things in the park across the street. I come here daily to pick up my medicine and I feel safe.ö
In the same neighborhood of the pharmacy, a Square Mini Market experienced a bizarre shooting incident prior to the County Metro Police Force.
Police say that a gunman opened six rounds of bullets on an unknown man as he was at the ATM machine inside of the convenience store. As the customer ran through the stores backdoor, a guy was waiting for him with a shotgun in the alley. No one was injured or killed in the incident, police said. Several bullet holes still remain on the inside and outside of the store.
Zack Duz, who has owned a city business for the past three years in downtown, said he is very pleased with the visible police presence.
ōIn my three years of having a business here ¢ this is by far the safest year. I see cops all over the city.ö
The city does not have a single grocery store. Mayor Redd confirmed that ShopRite will be breaking ground in the city in 2014, and that her administration is in close negotiations with bringing an additional supermarket to the city.
The cityÆs main employers are Cooper Hospital, Campbell SoupÆs national headquarters, and Rutgers and RowanÆs universities campuses according to Redd.

Sue Ogrocki, Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma is a football power and its rival Oklahoma State often dominates wrestling, but now the state has something every sports fan can cheer: an NBA finals debutante.
Blue-and-orange Oklahoma City Thunder flags flutter vehicles around the city and the state, a tribute to a team that four years ago was among the league's worst. An Oklahoma City skyscraper has a "Let's Go Thunder" banner strung across it, and a local shop has a giant fake beard at its entrance to mimic Thunder guard James Harden's hirsute style.
Before the Thunder arrived in 2008 — an Oklahoma City businessman moved the team after Seattle balked at building the SuperSonics a new arena — Oklahomans' sports loyalties were split between OU and OSU.
"This is the biggest thing we've had here. This is it," said Tony Wright, a Thunder fan pumping gasoline into an SUV adorned with "OKC" banners.
Oklahoma City has home-court advantage in the best-of-7 series against the love-to-hate-'em Miami Heat and superstars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. But life hasn't always been this sweet.
The first Thunder team won only three of its first 32 games and finished 23-59, the third-worst record in the league. Finding tickets was easy.
"They were giving them away," said Matthew Brown, a recent University of Oklahoma graduate who just moved to Little Rock, Ark.
Now, the games draw so many to Chesapeake Energy Arena that, for a time, they were projected on screens outside. During the Thunder's Western Conference semifinals with the Los Angeles Lakers, up to 7,000 unticketed fans showed up at the 17,000-seat arena, which is just west of Bricktown.
But two weeks ago, a late-night shooting that injured 8 near the arena after a Thunder win put a stop to the big screens. City officials said the shooting was not game-related.
"The crowd's been huge for the pregame, then they're going somewhere else to watch the game, either to a bar or to someone's home," Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said "This ever-escalating crowd, who knows how large it would get? And what would happen next?"
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said players and coaches are energized by the fans.
"They feel a part of this and they should. They've done a good job of making us feel that we're a part of this community," he said. "Our players, they love playing here. They know every night that we're going to have the best crowd in the game and they're going to come out and they're going to cheer you on."
Guard Kevin Durant, one of two players who moved from Seattle and who led the Thunder to the conference finals last year, said he's been trying to focus on the task at hand.
"You know there's family calling and friends calling, wanting to come down," Durant said. "But everybody's been doing a good job of giving me my space and just letting me focus on what we need to do."
But many Oklahoma City residents still embrace the team as family.
Helen Jones said she has a photo of herself, Durant and guard Russell Westbrook as a screensaver on her cellphone. And James Harden occasionally drops in for Wednesday night bible study at the Fifth Street Missionary Baptist Church that she attends
"They are so down to earth, clean, well-spoken and when I look at them, I try to get a picture of what they're really, really like," said Jones, a season-ticket holder.
At a Thunder youth basketball camp Friday, Cindy Melton watched her 8-year-old daughter, Caity, and dozens of other children run drills.

The Exclusive La Brisa Mansion Needs to Be Seen to Be Believed
Posted by williampdpierce in Miami Mansions on November 24, 2014
Located in the middle of the historic Coconut Grove, La Brisa Mansion is a secluded retreat made up of 6.9 acres, hidden away from street view with private gates and verdant foliage. With breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, a beautiful lawn that extends toward a line of mangroves, and a palatial floor plan, this mansion is the ultimate tropical retreat.
The property borders 536-foot long canal on the northern side, with a 68-foot dock and direct ocean access. This oasis is nestled by a lush landscape of mature trees – like royal palms, royal poincianas, mahogany, banyans, oak and gumbo limbo – many as old as the house itself! Its large pool and sunken fire pit are completely surrounded by a patio of coral, which is large enough to accommodate up to 250 people! An elegant 2-bedroom guest cottage located beneath banyan trees is ideal for in-laws, staff, or teenage children.
Located on top of an ancient coral reef 23 feet above sea level, the idyllic property offers a commanding view of its prime waterfront location. The total square footage of 17,141 includes an incredible 3,338 square feet of beautiful balconies and covered porches. The Mediterranean-style La Brisa has 9 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 3 half-bathrooms, with beautiful details like a colorful tile roof, original woodwork on the upper-floor galleries, arched doors and windows, and wrought-iron and wooden balconies.
No detailed description or photos can do this masterpiece justice. You must see it for yourself to get transported back to the golden age of pristine Miami.

The Vast Amenities of Le Palais Royal
Posted by williampdpierce in Miami Beach Mansions on September 30, 2014
Le Palais Royal's price tag is undoubtedly higher than any Miami Beach Homes have ever listed for and is unquestionably one of the most luxurious properties to ever make it onto the real estate market in the United States. For $139 million, it is only for the most discerning of buyers. While the list price is staggeringly high, it has some amenities that separate it from any other ultraluxury home.
At 4,500 square feet, the infinity edge pool is outstandingly large measuring twice the size of the average home in the United States. While the pool is impressive in and of itself, it also features a 12-foot waterfall that adds a beautiful water element to the pool area as well as a double-loop, LED-lit waterslide that can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike.
But for those who don't wish to walk all the way to the backyard to enjoy a morning dip will be glad to know that each of the three master bedrooms and the presidential suite each have their own private jacuzzi, ideal for those who do not wish to share their hot tubs. The presidential suite also has a plunge pool, which is great for those who want a reinvigorating way to start the day.
Even the most jaded of movie buffs will be in awe by Le Palais Royal's private theater. With a screen that is 27 feet high and 50 feet wide, it is the first and only IMAX theater contracted for a private home. Complete with a complete bar and lounge, it has seating for 18 guests meaning you have a full theater experience for you and your closest friends at your disposal at any moment.
If you want to see how this stunning mansion's amenities surpass all Miami Beach Homes, contact William P.D. Pierce of Mansion Collection.

The home has 11 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms all of which are immaculately decorated. There's an extraordinary amount of recreational facilities which include a 4,500 square foot pool with waterslide, a putting green and the world's only IMAX home theater.
A home this luxurious can't settle for just one master bedroom; Le Palais Royal has three master suites. And for those who can't just settle for a master suite, prospective buyers will be glad to know that the home has its own presidential suite. All of these bedrooms are accessed by a $2 million staircase.
The home is located on the Intracoastal Waterway and has direct access to the water route with a nearly 500-foot long yacht that is large enough to accommodate some of the biggest super-yachts on the ocean. If you prefer to travel by car, you can park your rides in the 30-car underground garage.
It is easy to see why this home tops all other Miami Mansions available. If you wish to view Le Palais Royal, contact William P.D. Pierce of Mansion Collection.

The Decadent Splendor of the Palazzo di Mare at Vero Beach
Posted by williampdpierce in Miami Mansions, Miami Waterfront Mansions on February 19, 2014
Vero Beach, a city in Indian River County, is home to brilliant, sandy beaches that make up part of Florida's Treasure Coast. A large array of stunning luxury homes are nestled inside the lush tropical paradise, as it is rated the "Best Small Town in Florida and ranking in at 12th in the Nation." The beautiful scenery, relaxed ambience, and tropical climate make it an ideal location for those seeking an exclusive and privileged lifestyle amidst postcard-quality vistas.
One of Vero Beach's prime luxury homes is the decadent Palazzo di Mare, also known as the Great Gatsby mansion, sitting on 5 acres of breathtaking waterfront and flaunting a period-inspired design that belies its recent construction in 2001. Found at 2150 S HIGHWAY A1A, the property could have been the location for a scene from Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, polished marble surfaces gleaming throughout the 28,000 square-foot palace, stained-glass lighting the bar, exquisite furniture generously found in every room, and rare artisan finishes enhancing the authentic ambience. The bold architecture features dramatic, 32 ft-high ceilings that loom over an inviting foyer welcoming residents to their 6 bedroom/ 8 bath Estate. The home also consists of a gourmet kitchen, private-top solarium and sky deck, custom wood-beamed library, sound-proof theater room, a sizable wine vault and Venetian-inspired pool with 14k mosaic gold inlays. Additionally, the conveniences of 2 private elevators, a polished limestone fireplace, grand game room, and 205 ft of private beach await the owner of this Vero Beach jewel.
Vero Beach, and Indian River County in general, have some of the best public golf and country clubs, as well as one of the best locations for surfing and peak diving in the Indian River Lagoon. There are also natural preserves to explore, a myriad of water sports, ample boating and fishing opportunities, and fun nature trails.

I have a candy recipe for peanut butter logs which calls for 3 cups of powdered sugar. This is TOO SWEET. Is there any way to cut the sweetness?
I have used 1 cup of soft fine brown sugar and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, as a substitute for 3 cups of powdered sugar. It changed the consistency and it worked out fine.

Superficial dermal wounds in whale sharks are reported to heal rapidly as with many other elasmobranchs. Here observations of two wounded whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in Maldivian waters suggest that free ranging sharks are able to recover and rapidly heal from the effects of deeper wounding on internal organs or amputations. One specimen observed impaled by a wooden harpoon shaft, was subsequently re-encountered nearly a year later. The other suffered a near severed first dorsal fin but showed signs of rapid healing. These observations illustrate that despite national bans in whale sharks fishing, the practise persists in the Maldives. Further research to increase understanding of the demography of aggregations of this species is necessary before the impact of illegal exploitation on regional population trends can be determined. National governments are encouraged to enhance marine conservation outreach and education programmes throughout their territories.

Restitution Measures for Victims of National Socialism
In recognition of a shared responsibility for the plight of National Socialism which has brought misery to many people, the Republic of Austria and its economy sees it as its moral responsibility to provide voluntary financial contributions to those affected. They are a part of the reprocessing of questions opened by the past and to be seen as a gesture of good will, even if the immeasurable suffering of the victims of National Socialism cannot ever be offset by financial means.
Austria is conscious of the fact that crimes committed by the Nazis cannot in any way be compensated. Yet, Austria today tries her utmost to live up to her historic responsibilities and to set signals.
The following links take you to the homepages of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism and the General Settlement Fund as well as the Reconciliation Fund:

Restitution of looted art
The aim of the Art Restitution Act which was passed in Austria in 1998 as well as the modification of federal law concerning the restitution of works of art in 2009 is to give collective items from Austrian federal museums and collections, which became federal property because or as a result of the NS-tyranny, back to their original owners or their rightful heirs.
The contents of the archives of the Austrian federal museums and collections are therefore inspected systematically and consistently. Staff members of the Commission for Provenance Research operate in the individual federal museums, where they inspect the inventory, holdings of the archives and objects for provenance clues. With the help of corresponding databases, registries and files the results of the research are summarized in dossiers and are transmitted to the office of the Commission for Provenance Research. The office presents these dossiers to the Advisory Board established in the Federal Chancellery (until February 28th 2014 BMUKK), according to § 3 of the Art Restitution Act.
The Advisory Board which holds regular meetings inspects the dossier and assesses the circumstances according to the requirements of the Art Restitution Act. The Advisory Board addresses its recommendations to the Federal Minister in charge respectively, in this case the Bundesminister für Kunst und Kultur, Verfassung und Medien. The recommendations are published.
The Commission's analysis occurs systematically as a result of statutory assignment and does not occur as a result of underlying claims by persons concerned. Nevertheless, the Commission's office is available as contact and inquiry office as well as coordination office for restitutions of other regional authorities (provinces, municipalities). The Commission's and the Advisory Board's functions are described to the National Assembly in the annual Restitution Reports (Restitution Reports and Federal Chancellery/Restitution Reports).

A 5-week-old baby was alone in his South Auckland house when
he died, and a police child protection team will now
investigate whether the "actions or inactions" of those
caring for him contributed to his death.
The baby was born in late November and died at about 1pm on
New Year's Day at his family home in Battlen Place, Manurewa.
His name had not been released, and it is understood police
have been given several different versions of the baby's name
including both of his mother and father's surnames.
A post mortem examination was held yesterday to ascertain how
the boy died, overseen by a Coroner.
Detective Inspector Jim Gallagher said the post mortem
results clarified a lot of things for the investigation team
but he would not be drawn on the specifics.
"I am reluctant to say how the baby died. It's relevant for
the police ... we still have to complete a lot of work," he
"It is not an abuse case. Abuse generally has connotations of
physical or sexual harm.
This is why it's not in this category. The criteria we're
looking at is in regard to issues of the care of this child,
duties of care."
The Herald has learned that there was no one else in the
house when he died and that police were focusing on whether
the child was being neglected before or at the time he died.
Mr Gallagher confirmed the baby was alone in the house, but
said people "connected to" the baby were "in the near
vicinity". He would not be drawn if they were actually at the
property itself.
"From inquiries to date, it is very clear that when the baby
died there was no one else in the house," Mr Gallagher said.
"It's within that category [of neglect] that this case is
being looked at. "We still have to complete work before we
can reach a point where we could start to say whether or not
there is a foundation to consider some person should be made
accountable for the death of the child.
"It's the police role in every death to determine whether or
not there is some accountability for an event like this.
There has to be some understanding as to why the baby died,
and then to know whether or not any person's actions or
inactions contributed to the death."
Mr Gallagher said police were not seeking information from
anyone outside the baby's immediate or extended family.
The baby was found dead in his cot by his mother, who then
called 111. After police arrived they cordoned off the house
so an extensive scene examination could be completed,
including calling the Fire Service in to assist with
temperature recording devices.
The Fire Service were back at Battlen Place yesterday giving
further assistance.

David Bly, We All Do Better
Member of Minnesota House of Representatives District 20B
Updated: 47 min 26 sec ago
Let's All Do Better—Together!
In my years in the Minnesota House of Representatives, I have noticed that everyone talks about saving our middle class economy. Our actions, however, can tell a different story. We hear calls to cut education, defund health programs, let our roads fall apart, resist sustainable energy solutions, and support economic policies that have us working more for less. We are told we must go it alone, that our neighbor's problems have nothing to do with us. We are told to ignore Paul Wellstone's great advice: "We all do better when we all do better."
As we go down this road, more and more of us find that our neighbor's problems are now our problems. Our children don't have the schools we think they should, we worry more about health care, the roads we drive have more potholes, our climate is harsher, and our paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to. All of this adds up to shrinking opportunities, not just for us, but for our neighbors and our children. We find ourselves thinking that everyone deserves at least the opportunity for a good life, but wondering, "Where will those opportunities come from?"
Those opportunities come more easily for those who have the good fortune to live in a middle class economy. To make sure everyone has that advantage, we must focus on the things we have to do together. Our spending priorities must respect what I call "the five building blocks of a middle class society": education, health care, transportation, clean energy, and living wage jobs. Maintaining these foundations must be our number one legislative priority if we are to provide ourselves, our neighbors, and our children with the opportunities they deserve.
I can hear the objections already: "This is too expensive! Where will the money come from?" When people say "We can't afford this!" we will also have to remind them that, even more so, we can't afford the alternative, that is, a Third World economy in which most of us lack for opportunity. That is not the American dream. This was not the intent of those who wrote our Constitution. And this is not a path that will lead us out of the despair that motivates so many voters in today's elections.
Tax breaks for the rich, small government, and ideological shouting matches simply cannot, and will not, get us where we need to be. What will get us back where we need to be is restoring our priorities so that they are in line with the idea of opportunities for all. We are still the world's richest country. What we do with that great wealth and what policies can make better use of that wealth to continue to create opportunity and prosperity is everyone's business.
Changing the conversation about how we move forward and build and maintain a middle class economy is not an easy task. This is going to be a big job, far too big for any one of us, or even any group of us, to get done on our own. All of us working together is a different story. We can get this done as it was done once before. We can renew our calling to build "a more perfect union" for all Americans. And we can live in country where the words "The Land of Opportunity" truly mean something, not just for a privileged few, but for each and every one of us.

Here is my last Op-Ed in Northfield News
Best Life Alliance requires support
By DAVID BLY Guest columnist
Our 10-week legislative session is now almost half over.
Most of this week consisted of long hours in committees satisfying what's known as the "first deadline." For many bills to remain alive, they must have been heard in either the House or Senate by the end of Friday. It's a bit like finals week in college where we spend most of our waking hours together getting our work done.
One of the important bills heard early last week was the "Best Life Alliance's" 5-percent rate increase for home and community-based care providers. You may recall last year we raised rates for nursing home workers by 5 percent. People who care for our loved ones are woefully underpaid which makes those tough positions harder to fill and leaves gaps in care.
Last week I was visited by Alex and a couple of friends who came to remind me how important it is to them to be able to receive the services their care workers provide. Because of the support they have they can participate and contribute to the communities they live in. They explained that they do become attached to the workers and really hate when they are forced to leave for better wages.
Since we took the step to support, attract and retain more nursing home workers last year, we've seen great results. Unfortunately, the dedicated staff that provide home and community-based services are now at a competitive disadvantage. The Best Life Alliance is a bipartisan group of organizations and people advocating to provide a 5 percent increase for those providing care in community settings or in people's homes. There are two really important reasons why we should support these caregivers.
First, home and community-based providers help maintain the greatest quality of life possible for people. The disabled adults and elderly people who live in community settings or are able to stay in their homes enjoy being able to live, work or otherwise continue to be a part of the larger community. People thrive when they're given new opportunities or can remain in the familiar and comfortable setting of their home.
Second, home and community-based care can save the state money. Disabled people who would have been in costly and grim institutions now can live in community settings with personalized services based on their needs. People can also avoid or delay entering expensive nursing homes when they're able to stay at home with a bit of help.
Without adequate wages, we're going to see the shortage of people able or willing to provide this care grow, which will in turn force more people into nursing homes or care settings that are less fulfilling, alienating and more costly.
Thousands of Minnesotans benefit from the care they receive in community settings or in their homes, whether they're elderly or disabled. That care is often provided by dedicated people who work for wages far below what they deserve. Seven years ago when we were cutting funds that went to these workers I stood on the House floor to oppose those cuts and spoke about my father who would take me along with his boy scout troop to visit the disabled in the Faribault State setting. He told me of the time he spent in an isolated institution and that "we must never forget to extend a hand of care to those who cannot care for themselves."
I know we must not forget.

Rep. David Bly (20B) – Legislative Update
Dear Neighbors,
The 10 week legislative session is moving along quickly. We're now in the third week and legislation is being introduced and heard in committees. Here are a few items I would like to update you on:
Legislative Survey and Column
I had my session preview column published in the Northfield News entitled "Focus at Capitol continues to ensure economy works for everyone." I hope you'll take a look at it and let me know what you think. Also, please feel free to take my legislative survey so I'll know what you want us to focus on in Saint Paul: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Bly2016Survey
Agriculture Bills Heard in Committee
I've had great bipartisan reception on two agriculture bills recently. The first would help beginning farmers get started through tax credits for buying or renting farm equipment and other tax incentives. The second bill would keep Minnesota's Organic Task Force going through 2018, instead of ending on June 30, 2016.
I'm hopeful we will see progress in agriculture to draw new farmers and to help bolster Minnesota's growing organic farming industry.
Meeting with Constituents
A lot of you have been visiting the Capitol and sharing your priorities with me. It's always exiting to see people come and explain why they're passionate about issues. Below are pictures of me meeting with the prosperity for all group and people advocating for the arts.
We All Do Better
I recently wrote a new book, "We All Do Better: Economic Priorities for a Land of Opportunity." Here is a brief excerpt from the introduction:
"In my years in the Minnesota House of Representatives, I have noticed that everyone talks about saving our middle class economy. Our actions, however, can tell a different story. We hear calls to cut education, defund health programs, let our roads fall apart, resist sustainable energy solutions, and support economic policies that have us working more for less. We are told we must go it alone, that our neighbor's problems have nothing to do with us. We are told to ignore Paul Wellstone's great advice: 'We all do better when we all do better.'"
In my work as your voice at the Capitol, my continued focus this session will be on making sure the economy works for everyone, not just those who can hire someone to be at the Capitol on a daily basis.
This week, lawmakers introduced a package of bills to give all children a strong start in life by making child care more affordable, supporting child care providers, expanding access to care, and increasing infant and child wellbeing. The "Pre to 3" legislative package targets investments and reforms that support children and families from prenatal to three years of age, a critical time period to ensure that children are healthy and prepared for success later in life.
The "Pre to 3" package also includes investments and reforms to support child care providers. Some of the reforms include efforts to streamline and simplify regulations for child care providers and requiring that the Department of Human Services make prompt payments to child care providers.
The "Pre to 3" package aims to increase infant and child wellbeing by increasing funding for home visiting and funding at-home infant care for new parents so more can afford to stay home with their babies. In addition, legislators would fully fund Early Head Start so at-risk children receive targeted care and services to promote healthy brain and social/emotional development

Pre to 3: Investments to give all children a strong start in life
Legislation to Aid Veterans introduced
Lawmakers are proposing legislation to provide additional support for Minnesota veterans. With Minnesota experiencing a $900 million surplus, the package reinforces prioritizing care and assistance services for our veterans. Key components of the bill include:
Increases access to mental health services: Funds and allows the Soldiers' Assistance Fund to cover court-ordered mental health and substance abuse counseling for veterans.
Financial relief while transitioning to a veteran home: Creates a tax credit for veterans who are staying in private nursing homes to help ease the financial burden while they wait for a bed in a veteran's nursing home.
Expanding health coverage for veterans and guardsmen: Creates a feasibility study for providing health insurance to veterans and guardsmen to extend coverage beyond the health insurance programs provided by the federal VA and the Department of Defense.
Reducing domestic violence: Expands opportunities for veterans to participate in the Change Step Program for veterans who need domestic abuse counseling and education.
Ending veteran homelessness and honoring those who have served: Increases funding to address veterans homelessness and provides additional money to reimburse veterans service organizations for providing honor guards at veterans' funerals.
Increases support for veterans who have struggled to reintegrate: Similar to drug courts, Veterans Courts provide problem-solving treatment and therapy instead of punitive court sentencing. These courts better recognize both the service and struggles many veterans experience.
The bill was introduced and was referred this week to the State Government Finance Division.
Don't Forget your Property Tax Refund or Renter's Credit
As a friendly reminder, don't forget to file for your Renter's Property Tax or Homestead Credit Refund. To see if you qualify, take a look at the Minnesota Department of Revenue's Instruction Guide. The forms can be accessed here.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue also has information available on filing for free on their website. If you want to file yourself and wonder if you qualify for free electronic filing products or you want assistance from a free tax preparation site, visit this page.
Additionally, the IRS has free filing information available on their website. On the homepage of their website under the banner "Hot Topics" you will see a link entitled "Get Free Tax Preparation Help" or "Free File Tax Software".
Please don't forget to take my legislative survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Bly2016Survey. As always, feel free to contact me at email@example.com or call me at 651-296-5882

AbstractIf given the opportunity, a terrorist organization such as al Qaeda could unleash Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear (CBRN) material in future attacks. Accordingly, future CBRN combat system requirements include an online network of traditional and non-traditional CBRN sensors to improve situation awareness and response to a CBRN event. The key to exploiting this advanced capability, however, will lie in the ability to combine and accurately interpret the disparate sensor detections so that a high-fidelity Single Integrate Picture (SIP) of the battlespace can be provided to the Combatant Commanders. To develop an effective SIP, the tracking and fusion algorithms must also overcome real-world challenges such as communication limitations, sensor registration problems, and real-time performance requirements. The DECISIVE ANALYTICS Corporation (DAC) team proposes to overcome these real-world problems through our innovative data fusion, sensor netting, and sensor resource management algorithms. The CBRN Real-time Advanced Classification and Tracking (CBRN-ReACT) system will improve threat identification and tracking accuracy by combining our state-of-the-art fusion framework, which naturally accommodates new and diverse sensor data as well as unanticipated sensor behavior in the face of increasingly difficult scenarios, with our tool for positioning sensors before and repositioning mobile sensors during a CBRN event.

Desperate Journey
Despite its whimsical title, "Seoul Train" is deadly serious -- and yet so compelling that you can't stop watching even though you know it will haunt your dreams. Its subject is the "underground railroad" of North Korean refugees who are running for their lives in a desperate attempt to reach freedom. (On PBS's Independent Lens series, Tuesday, 10-11 p.m. ET. Check local listings.)
Getting out of North Korea, which this documentary accurately describes as the "world's largest prison camp," may be the easy part. Once they make it over the border into China, the refugees are hunted like rabbits by zealous Chinese cops and soldiers. Forcibly repatriated to North Korea, the refugees face torture and imprisonment for the treasonous act of leaving the country. It's a crime punishable by death. Some of the North Koreans interviewed for this film probably are dead already.
Apart from a few sickening scenes shot secretly in North Korea, most of the program takes place in China, where we meet groups of refugees awaiting rides on an underground route to safety. One of the most welcoming destinations is Mongolia, which has a reputation for treating North Koreans humanely before helping them reach their ultimate destination in democratic South Korea.
Schindler of Asia
We meet the first group of refugees as they plan a trip by train, taxi and foot across China to the Mongolian border. They include Han Sul-hee, who is 17. She and the rest of the group, mainly young adults who have left parents and siblings behind, are sitting in a safe house with a Christmas tree and Santa decorations. They have been waiting several months -- eating proper food and trying to gain enough weight so they'll look healthy enough to pass for South Korean tourists. So severe is North Korea's government-induced famine that the average 7-year-old child in North Korea is about half a foot shorter than his counterpart in South Korea, and it's estimated that up to three million souls have perished from hunger in recent years.
The camera follows Sul-hee and the others as they head for the train station in Yanji, China, for a journey that will be full of peril at every stage, especially in towns where the locals like to report foreigners to the police. The refugees' escort is Chun Ki-won, a South Korean pastor who has been called the "Schindler of Asia" for his rescue efforts. We last see him and his little tour group as they head into the Gobi, just a few miles from the crossing into Mongolia. The hidden camera could go no farther, so a message on our TV screen fills in the rest: Chun and all his charges were arrested at the border by Chinese police.
We know how awful that must have been from the scenes we do see, of another group of North Koreans who tried a different method of escape. With the help of activist-guide Moon Kook-han, this group moved into a motel near the Japanese consulate in Shenyang, China, where they spent days preparing to dash through the gates onto sovereign Japanese soil and demand asylum. According to the plan, two men in the group would go first, pushing Chinese guards aside so the women, including 2-year-old Han-mi and her mother, could rush into the consulate yard.
A camera across the street recorded what happened next: Reaching the gate, the men barged through but the guards grabbed Han-mi and her mother. As a crowd gathered, and the camera rolled, the mother clung to the iron gate, screaming and struggling with all her might to break free and get to safety, just a few precious feet away. But the guards wrestled her to the ground. The last shot we see is little Han-mi's terrified face as the guards overpower her mother.
Like a Human Being
Mr. Moon also worked with the seven North Koreans who tried yet another approach and formally applied for refugee status at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The MoFA-7, as the group became known, were arrested by Chinese authorities and presumably repatriated. None has been heard of again. Mr. Moon weeps when he thinks that he may have, in effect, led them to their deaths.
Watching film of the MoFA-7 in the moments before their arrest -- one woman tells the camera that she's willing to risk death for the chance "to live like a human being with dignity" -- it's tempting to heap all the blame on China and North Korea. But the behavior of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is in a way more shocking. A UNHCR official interviewed here says that while some of the North Koreans may be refugees, there's not much his agency can do to help them. After all, he explains, "a couple" of UNHCR representatives went to the border "four or five years ago" to look into the situation of refugees there and were prevented from doing that by Chinese authorities, "so it's not like we haven't tried."
A few of the North Koreans seen in this program have since been released from captivity in China and made their way to South Korea, some with the help of concerned members of Congress. But most of the stories do not have happy endings. Since Mr. Chun was arrested at the Mongolian border in 2001, many thousands of refugees have tried and failed to reach freedom. All the program can do is end our ignorance. Someday, when the full extent of North Koreans' suffering is revealed, no one who has seen "Seoul Train" will be able to say, "I didn't know."

A quick word about "Silent Witness" (BBC America, Thursday, 9-11 p.m.), the excellent series about a team of crime-solving British forensic scientists. This week's episode opens at a race track with a dead horse, and widens to include a helicopter crash, a flurry of euros, a dead drug mule, a kidney-transplant scandal and the skeletons of an Iron Age family. Admittedly, "Silent Witness" is not as high-tech as "CSI," or as kinky. But these deficits can be pluses for viewers who enjoy top-rate, character-driven mysteries.
"Sit Down Comedy With David Steinberg" gets off to a shaky start on the TV Land Channel this week with a faintly tedious conversation between interviewer Steinberg and his guest, Mike Myers. (Wednesday, 10-11 p.m.) The main reward for watching is the information that the idea for "Austin Powers" struck Mr. Myers after he heard "The Look of Love" playing on the radio and wondered, "Where have all the swingers gone?" Next week's interview, with Larry David, is a total delight, however; and Mr. Steinberg's roster for future shows -- including Bob Newhart, Martin Short and Jon Lovitz -- sounds promising.

Martin Kampmann (17-5) vs. Rick Story (13-4) In an intriguing welterweight pairing, the Danish Xtreme Couture standout Kampmann looks to bounce back from successive contentious setbacks when he battles the emerging contender Story. Kampmann, 29, dropped close decisions to Jake Shields and Diego Sanchez in his last two UFC appearances. Both fights could have easily gone the other way. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt under Robert Drysdale, Kampmann already holds wins over some tough competition, including Paulo Thiago, Jacob Volkmann, Carlos Condit and Thales Leites. Kampmann is primarily a muay thai striker, but his ability to sink in submissions, stuff takedowns and scramble out of bad positions makes him a particularly dangerous foe for any welterweight. Story, 27, put his name on the map with strong unanimous decision wins over Thiago Alves and Johny Hendricks. But the rugged southpaw wants to erase any memories of his most recent bout against Charlie Brenneman, which he lo...

This is awesome for finding angles for cuts on wood. It took a few minutes to figure out how to use it and where to place the flat edges to find angles but once I did finding the measurement was a breeze. Great product for folks that need to make precise angled cuts in wood or metal projects.

Serving Citizen Warriors Since 1922
On January 24, 2013, the U.S. Department of Defense announced its decision to eliminate the ground combat exclusion policy and begin the process of opening 238,000 direct ground combat positions to women. With this historic development, the U.S. joins a small but growing list of countries in which all military positions are open to women on an equal basis to men. Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Sweden all permit women in all combat units. France, Israel, and the Netherlands permit women in combat positions but they are barred from some units. Brazil is currently looking at how to include women in combat positions, and Australia is already phasing women in.
As the US moves forward with full integration the services have consulted with some partner nations on an individual basis. The purpose of this conference is to bring together a large community of practice in a single event to share the expertise of partner nations who have already fully integrated their militaries.
*Please note: This is the second part of a two day conference. For detailed information on times and locations please view the full agenda.

I'm a new Platinum subscriber, having been a Gold member previously. I've now been through some 30 lessons, in sequential mode - adaptive was way too confusing (I'm currently probably a 900-1000 player, a real novice) and have a few suggestions for improvement:
Re: the analysis function. The overhauled Chess Mentor is fabulous and Kudos are in order for management and staff. One problem though. The analysis function does not work and it would be wonderul to have this to better follow lesson commentaries. Thank you
You're not a Platinum member.
I couldn't agree more about the rediculous ratings. Chess mentor is awesome except that one thing for me. I am 1500s player. When I try the puzzles rating 1800, I have no clue what to do. I usually give up and start checking all the hints and key squares and key pieces until it shows me the answer. Afterwards, I simply make the move they tell me and BAM +133 (or something crazy) to my rating. I find myself repeatedly deleting my Menter rating because the adaptive puzzles are way too advanced for me when im rated 18-something by Chess Menter. So....
PLEASE CHANGE THE RATING-SYSTEM FOR CHESS MENTOR! Thank You!
Believe it or not, the Chess Mentor rating system used to be much worse. In January 2011, I had a rating in the 2400's and I am just another patzer. They might tweak it again, but I have a feeling there are other priorities. Don't get hung up on the ratings; just enjoy the courses. I've done some of them over a dozen times. Hoping the information eventually sinks in!

It was needed around 1995 when many .h files were incomplete. Nowadays, .h files are much more complete (i.e. only a few percent of the documented functions are undeclared). For this reason, the FFI was designed so that things like (c-lines "#include <foobar.h>~%") was not needed. In today's world, it's possible to require to do the appropriate #include statements, and drop the "extern int (foo)();" decls. Bruno

In pieces such as Cell and Untitled VI, Hardy's dense interiors become sites of wonder and unease as seemingly miscellaneous found objects compile with an obsessive and meticulous order. Hardy's subjects exude the not-quite-right ambience of dreamscape or madness; a sensation heightened through the unnatural intensity of artificial light. Printed in large format, Hardy's photos give the viewer a sense of looking through a window at these spaces.
