Mayor Will Flanagan is stepping up efforts to support the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's application for federal land sovereignty for the 300-acre tract the city agreed to sell the tribe if the state legalized gambling this year.
Mayor Will Flanagan is stepping up efforts to support the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's application for federal land sovereignty for the 300-acre tract the city agreed to sell the tribe if the state legalized gambling this year.
He's calling the Mashpee's proposed destination casino the city's "No. 1 development priority" and one that warrants taking bold steps.
"This is not a bridge to nowhere or a folly. This is a $500 million project," Flanagan said.
Flanagan is taking this tact while the City Council has called for reviewing the use of the undeveloped 300 acres in the northern sector off a new Route 24 interchange after the Legislature and Gov. Deval Patrick failed to agree upon legalized gambling during its 2010 session that ended a month ago.
With legalization not appearing imminent, Flanagan formalized the alternative route he's backing for what he says is the best chance to add thousands of jobs and boost the local economy.
"I ask that you expeditiously and favorably review the tribe's land in trust application," Flanagan wrote U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
He noted the Mashpee tribe amended its 2007 land trust application to include Fall River. The tribe did that in mid-July.
"Development of that land that the tribe is seeking to have placed in trust will provide the good jobs that are so desperately needed in this area. In addition, revenue that will be provided to the city through an intergovernmental agreement will allow us to fund the public safety, education and infrastructure projects that are so important to the health of this city and the surrounding region," reads the letter Flanagan wrote Aug. 17 and shared last week.
The issue eliciting the most questioning has been Flanagan's continued prioritization of the 300-acre site for gambling instead of as a biotechnology and life sciences park with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth building an anchor test facility with state-approved funding.
Instead of using that state forest land sold to the RDA for industry — after compromises with environmental groups — the administration has negotiated with the university for an alternative bio-park site.
UMass officials said they plan in early September to decide on a location between the Flanagan administration's alternative Riverfront Business Park in Freetown and a second SouthCoast proposal at the New Bedford Business Park in that city.
Each plan provides 4 acres and a $3 million loan for the anchor facility, with another 50 acres for biomanufacturing expansion.
FROED would purchase and take title to the nearby Freetown acreage, Flanagan said.
According to RDA Chairman William Kenney, his authority received a legal recommendation that it cannot buy land outside the city, such as the adjacent Freetown acreage.
"Once UMass makes their announcement to locate in Greater Fall River," Flanagan said, "it may prompt the RDA to amend their vote, which would allow for the infusion of $6 million to purchase the land in Freetown."
That 325-acre undeveloped property is owned by controversial Rhode Island land developer Churchill & Banks, headed by Richard Baccari.
The RDA voted 3-2 on July 22 to sell the 300 acres of the former biopark to the Mashpees for $21 million pending legalization of gambling in Massachusetts this year and other conditions.
In order for FROED to purchase the acreage in the Freetown park, Flanagan said, "We would seek $6 million from a separate entity, more than likely the Mashpee Wampanoags. The $6 million is very critical to complete this transaction," he said.
"Lurking in the background is what's UMass going to do?" said Kenney, who has been contacted by concerned city councilors after voting against the RDA sale in July.
"If they say, 'We'd like to go to New Bedford,' what does the mayor do then?
He says they're both going to happen," Kenney said of Flanagan's continued pronouncement the Mashpees will build a casino in Fall River and the university will build in Freetown through a multiparty transaction.
Flanagan and FROED's director, Kenneth Fiola Jr., said the city would not lose significant tax revenue by shifting the biopark to Freetown because the university does not pay taxes and the level of companies agreeing to locate to such a park would require longterm tax breaks.
Also, Fall River would supply the water and sewer to the riverfront park, they said.
While the City Council has requested that Kenney, Fiola and the Flanagan administration update the status of the casino and land sale to the tribe at its next meeting Sept. 14, councilors recently considered issuing a resolution to change courses.
"It may be time to reshuffle again," said council Vice President Linda Pereira. She called on Flanagan, whom she's often at odds with, "to put all the cards on the table."
The resolution proposed by Councilor Eric Poulin was signed onto by four councilors but never filed. It "encouraged the Fall River Redevelopment
Authority to convene a meeting as soon as possible and that they consider voting to offer the 300 acres (off Route 24) back to UMass before the university reaches its final decision."
"My fear is to lose both," Poulin said. Councilors Brad Kilby, Leo Pelletier and Pereira agreed, but Poulin fell short obtaining the unanimous council support he sought.
Poulin said when Flanagan in May announced the tentative casino agreement with the tribe, it was with the prospect the state would legalize gambling by the end of July.
That put the prior plan of developing a prestigious and state-backed biopark on the back burner.
The objective, Poulin said, was to find needed short-term casino jobs with city unemployment in the mid-teens, and the longer-term jobs coming from biotechnology. "Now we could be chasing after a casino for three years or more," Poulin said.
He said Flanagan has not identified how casino construction could start quickly. "I have some questions and concerns about developing the site with sovereign nation status."
That's what prompted Kenney to vote against the RDA sale. It's yet to be signed because the state has not legalized casino gaming.
Flanagan, through talks with tribal leaders and the Department of Interior, said final documents to designate the RDA-owned park as sovereign land could take "a few months."
But according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs web site, there are more than 1,900 land trust applications, of which "over 95 percent are for non-gaming purposes."
Salazar said this summer he's prioritized restoring tribal lands for non-gaming applications, such as to provide housing, health care and education to improve tribal members' self-sufficiency.
"He's put a lot of eggs into this basket," Poulin said of Flanagan's secondary option for the tribe to build a casino.
"That's a heck of risk the mayor took," Pereira said. "I don't buy that the pay-off is what he says it's going to be."
From materials Flanagan circulates from the Mashpees, he estimates the phased project would include: 1,000 to 1,200 construction jobs building the casino and first hotel and 3,500 to 5,000 permanent jobs; they'd pay $30,000 to $45,000 with tips; and would spur 5,000 to 6,000 "indirect jobs," he said.
With funding by the Malaysian group that financed Foxwoods, the project would include two more hotels, a golf course, spa and retail/entertainment complex, the tribe stated.
Poulin said timing was a prime reason he did not file the council resolution. He said he tried unsuccessfully to have a special meeting before their regular session on Sept. 14. "At that point UMass would probably have made a decision," he said.
Councilor Michael Lund, however, is among council members that believe the Flanagan administration should be given more time to bring a casino.
"I think Flanagan is looking at the casino as a way to bridge the gap for jobs for people in the 30-50-year-old age group who could be retrained. And I think there's merit to that," Lund said.
He said by the Legislature apparently not passing gaming this year, "We're not under the gun. Let's take our time and get this right … I think Flanagan is trying to do the right thing, and I think we have a unique opportunity."
Lund said he also believes the city needs to be careful if the RDA property goes into sovereign land trust with the tribe. "What happens if the casino doesn't come and the Indians own it and there's no reverter clause (back to city ownership)?" he asked.
Flanagan said the tribe's financial backers would invest to build a casino. Also, having the park in land trust would not lift the prohibition against using it for a landfill, Flanagan said. "It would never happen," he said, stating the city and state would sue the tribe for such a use that would be tied up for years.
"If I believed this project had no life in it, I would never pursue it," Flanagan said. He's convinced Massachusetts soon will legalize gambling. "There's been too much of an investment for this not to occur."

Difficulty 1/5
A Galette is an easy way to make a pie. The difference is you don't use a mold, so there's no need to shape or worry about shrinking. For this one I used a quiche dough because it's the perfect consistency to hold vegetables in it. I used lemon zest and poppy seeds to flavour the dough, but you can also use chopped nuts and herbs. By all means use any vegetable you have at home for this recipe ;).
Vegetable Galette
For the roasted vegetables
- 1 tomato
- 100 g red onion
- 150 g zucchini
- 150 g aubergine
- 1/2 red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 60 ml olive oil
- 6 bayleaves
- to taste salt and pepper
- 30 g parmesan cheese freshly grated
For the dough
- 200 g all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 100 g unsalted butter cold, straight from the fridge
- 1 egg
- 10 ml water
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 zest from 1 lemon
For the roasted vegetables
The vegetables need to be roasted first to remove most of the water inside them. If we don't, they will let it go on the dough and make it wet; something we most definitely don't want.
The aubergine needs a pre-treatment before roasted. We need to degorge the slices to remove any bitterness from them. We do this by adding 1 tsp of salt and distributing them between the slices (3mm thick). Leave them to rest 10min like this and then rinse properly.
Slice all the veggies as you please (about 3mm thick or they will take longer) and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Don't put one on top of the other.
Finely grate the garlic cloves and mix them with the olive oil. Sprinkle this over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and put the bay leaves on the tray as well.
Take them to the oven at 180C for about 30min or until you see they are nicely soft and cooked. Bare in mind that if you change the vegetables they might have different cooking times and so you might need to take some out before the others.
Let them cool down to room temperature before assembling the galette.
For the dough
Cut your cold butter into cubes and mix it with the flour and salt. Pinch the cubes with your fingers to coat the flour with the fat from the butter. Once you don't feel any lumps of butter, rub the flour between your hands. The end result should look like moist sand. If you have a food processor, do this on the food processor.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix them using a spatula. Once this is not helping anymore, knead with your fingers but only a bit since over-kneading will make it tough. If you have a food processor, add the ingredients and blitz until even.
Cover in cling film and let rest in the fridge for at least 30min.
Roll out the dough, trying to have it as round as possible on a flour-dusted surface. Take it to 2mm thick. Any thinner than that at it will break apart on handling and thicker will make it too doughy.
I used a large plate to cut a perfect circle, but you can use it as it is and make it look more rustic. Put it on a tray lined with baking paper and arrange your vegetables inside, leaving about 2cm around the edges empty. Be mindful that the vegetables should not be more than 1cm high or their juices will break apart the dough.
Fold the edges towards the inside and sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top of the vegetables. Take it to the oven at 180C for about 30min or until the edges are nice and golden.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Just as a side note, you can roast and make the dough the day before you want to eat it and on the next day just roll the dough, assemble and bake the galette :). Hope you like this recipe and let me know in the comments if you would want me to make anything in particular.

I am SO disappointed with The Gap.
I have had two pairs of Khakis I wear to work for 2-3 years. They were awesome, durable, and I wear them at least once a week.
That being said, the one pair started getting a hole in the bum seam, so I went to the Gap the try on new Khakis. Exact same label, but NOT the exact same fit.
I tried on 3 different sizes, and left exasperated.
I have hips, a bum, and a waist - hourglass shape. I also have athletic legs thanks to squats and road biking.
My legs squeezed in like sausages and looked awful. The pair that I could get into okay still had the squeeze effect.
So not the same fit as the smaller size I have from a few years back.
Shame shame shame for changing a product that worked!

He is responsible for ensuring that UC San Diego Health System's clinical programs and activities achieve the highest standards of service, quality, safety, compliance and overall performance.
Tom believes that service to society, especially the underserved, is the highest possible goal. As a physician, he has a unique opportunity to contribute to the personal health and well-being of his patients. In his words, "My strongest commitment is assisting mothers achieve their goals in birthing healthy babies. It's very gratifying to help women understand how pregnancy affects their bodies and what they can do to ensure the outcome of their pregnancies."
Tom and Peggy live in Coronado, California and have five grown children and 12 grandchildren. Tom is an accomplished photographer, plays drums in a jazz group, and he and Peggy love to sail.

There are two days late summer that are dreaded by everyone living within Boston. Already bad morning and evening commutes are worse on these days, and driving through neighborhoods like Allston, Brighton, and the Back Bay feel like driving through an abandoned highway on a Walking Dead set. The days I am talking about are of course, August 31st and September 1st. These two days are created by what I like to call, "The Perfect Storm." Sorry about all the movie puns.
You see, Boston is a great city for many reasons. One of those reasons being our value on education and thus the resulting large number of universities within its limits. Because semesters usually start in September, and the number of great schools we have here, students come from all over the world to study and earn their academic degrees around the same time each year. Naturally they need a place to live while they study, and sign leases starting on September 1 and ending one year later, on August 31.We are also an old city. With that comes roads and infrastructure not always ready for the large amount of people it brings in. With the lease structure, congested city roads, and universities here, it creates a headache for anyone who is stuck on the September 1, August 31 lease cycle.
There are some things you can do though to minimize the stress on these days. Notice I said MINIMIZE. Unfortunately moving is already stressful and moving on these days will add to it, no matter how prepared you are. But expecting an eventful and tough day can sometimes ironically have the effect of calming someone down. Almost every moving consultant at Eagle Lines has assisted in over 100 moves on these days, so they know a thing or two about preparing for them and making them go as smoothly as possible. We have listed some of our best tips and advice below. Enjoy, and remember you can call the office at any time if you have questions that are not answered here.
1. Plan Early
Planning early for anything has its benefits. It is no different in moving and is essential on these moving dates. Whether you are thinking about using a professional moving company, or are planning to do the move yourself, planning ahead will save you both time and money. Every moving company in the area will be fully booked on these dates, that I can promise you. You do not want to be the one calling movers the day before your move frantically looking for a professional service with availability. I have gotten those calls personally, and they do not sound fun at all.
So how early is too early? The answer to that is, it is NEVER to early. At Eagle Lines we have already started taking calls about those dates and some people have even reserved slots already. The people who call this early know that they will not only ensure they lock in a professional mover for their peace of mind, but they will also get access to the best hourly rates movers have on these days.
And if you are doing everything yourself? Remember Uhaul has a limited number of trucks as well and like movers, they will run out of availability as well.
2. Parking Permits. GET THEM
Remember how I told you about how Boston's streets are not really built for a large number of people on the roads? Well, it's true. And all those people who drive and live off of those roads? They need places to park. And as one of those people let me tell you that it is nearly impossible to find parking at certain times of the day, and I drive a sedan, not a moving truck that requires 2 or 3 car lengths worth of space.
On normal days (Those are days that are not August 31 or September 1) parking a moving van is hard. It will be impossible to do so without a permit on these days. Purchasing parking permits ahead of time will save you time and a parking ticket on your moving day. It will also help start you off on the right foot with your neighbors, because they will not have to squeeze in between your Uhaul and the guy's Uhaul who is moving in across the street because you guys chose not to get a permit.
Parking permits must be posted two days in advance before your move. They can be acquired either by going to city hall and purchasing them directly, or city hall now has an online option available where they will mail them to you (I will post the link below). You can only purchase permits two weeks prior to the day you request them if you use the online option. So make sure this is on your to-do list nice and early. You will also get a hard copy receipt of your parking permit purchase. DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY! You will need this as proof that the permits belong to you before police will tow any vehicle parked in your spot. If you go to city hall to get the permit, you can get it at anytime as long as you do so two days prior to your move. Remember though, the longer you wait the higher the chance someone else will purchase permits in the spot you need on moving day. So get them as early as you can.
Parking Permit Info/Online Purchase
3. Know Your Move In Times
Many leases not only have a move-in day associated with them, but also a time indicating the earliest time you can move in. This is extremely important to know ahead of time, especially if you are hiring a moving service. Almost all moves taking place on these days require a move out on August 31, and a move in on September 1. This means that when using a moving company, they are going to want to deliver your items at a time that works from them unless you specify other wise. Remember, these are the busiest days of the year for Boston-area movers and if not guided by you, they will organize their schedule in a way that works for them. This may mean that they plan on moving you early on September 1 when in fact you cannot move in until noon. Communicate with your mover and make sure they can accommodate your delivery needs before you come to terms. You can find other articles with more information about overnight storage online.I have added one below that I believe is useful.
4. Storrow Drive
Have you ever heard of Storrow Drive? If you are not from Boston, maybe you haven't. Storrow Drive in and of itself is not that important, but knowing one crucial thing about it is. Absolutely NO TRUCKS including moving vans and Uhauls can drive on it. If you do, your nice and shiny truck will become a convertible. This is because the height clearances on the bridges over Storrow Drive have a low height clearance. If you are using local movers in Boston, you do not need to worry about this. They know the area well and know what they are doing. If you are moving yourself however and are not familiar with driving trucks, know this. All trucks have a height clearance associated with them. This is the tallest point of a truck and tells you how high the truck really is. You can usually find this above the driver's side of the truck on the box itself. If you cannot find it just ask.
The reason it is important to know a truck's height clearance is because not all bridges are high enough to allow a truck to pass under it. Bridges also have a height clearance listed on them. If what the bridge has for a clearance is shorter than your truck, do not drive further. You will hit the bridge. Remember Boston is an old city and that is also true of its bridges. Sometimes clearance heights are hard to read because of the age of its sign or paint. Proceed with caution.
5. Avoid Moving On This Day If You Can
This may seem like meaningless advice, but have you actually looked into any other options? If you have then great, follow the advice above and you should be fine. But there is a reason this piece of advice was saved for last. Many people do not even consider breaking the cycle and moving on different days. We see the same people move every year on these dates, just because their leases started and end on these days. It is a cycle that will repeat itself forever if you let it. The following are just suggestions and may be difficult in completing. But the effort for at least trying is very low compared to the huge reward it can bring if you are able to accomplish any of the suggestions below.
Try to Restructure your Lease
This may be a little tough to pull off. Landlords and Property Management firms know when and where demand for rentals in the city are. And most of the time they will not want to chance missing out on a tenant because you want to move out on a day that is convenient for you. That being said you should still give it a try. Who knows, maybe they will let you move out September 30 instead? The moving rates will be better and the stress factor will go way down. It would not hurt to ask.
Stay in Storage
Another way to avoid at least one of these days is to stay in storage until they pass. This option is only available to you if you use a moving company. What you can do is ask your mover to, rather than store your items overnight, put them in a long term storage for a couple of days. The advantage of doing this is moving rates will be cheaper than on the 1st and of course the city will not be filled with moving trucks adding stress and time to your move. The downside is of course waiting to receive your items but if you have other accommodations in place, this may be the best option for you.
Live Outside The City
Depending on your transportation needs, this could be an option for you. Living outside of Boston neighborhoods will allow you to avoid the massive amount of people moving on these days. You may not be able to avoid the high moving rates if you still use a Boston mover, but it will at least give you a chance to find a moving company from outside the city. Depending on how far outside you go, you may not need to worry about a parking permit either, further saving you money.

These little kids joined them for a day at the home for the aged at Narsapur as Abhyasites believe in the dictum, 'Hands That Serve, Are Holier Than Lips that Pray'.
They distributed a cake, fruits and shawls to all of them. It was quite heartening the way the kids were received by the old. All students sung Bhajans for them and entertained them with excellent songs and mesmerizing dances. The expression on the countenance of the inmates of the Home, testifies their joy when the little ones had shown such a kind of concern towards them. All the team had returned to campus with mixed feelings.

Bronson is a 2008 film written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Tom Hardy.
The story is based upon real life British criminal Michael Peterson, who went by the fighting name Charles Bronson (a reference to the Death Wish actor). He was notorious for being Britain's most violent criminal, and though he never actually committed any murder, he has spent the majority of the past four decades in solitary confinement.
This film does a great job with balancing both comedy and drama. There are some scenes that portray Bronson's early criminal life as well as many scenes of imprisonment. What makes this film stand out, though, are the performance pieces strewn throughout, as Bronson -- played by Hardy -- stands on a stage and plays to an audience, sometimes singing, sometimes performing a sort of mime. It's interesting stuff, and all of this combined shows how incredibly versatile Hardy is as an actor. He is out-of-this-world talented.
Nicolas Winding Refn is known for his highly stylized directing, which is on full display here. I really enjoy the way his films look, as they all have a very slick aesthetic, though sometimes they fall a bit flat in terms of actual depth and content. This is definitely one of his better films, and the soundtrack is a delightful mix of techno beats.
The film is rated R and has a running time of 92 minutes. This is a niche film which may not appeal to all, but if you like arthouse features, or if you just want to watch an amazing performance, this is a good one.

Follow this blog for any period and you will likely notice my affinity for turmeric. The more I study nutritional science, alternative medicine and culinary nutrition, the more fascinated I become with the spice known as 'Indian Gold'.
Over the past several years, I've researched and experimented with ways to assimilate turmeric into my daily routine. The spice also inspired my first article for a professional publication. 'Three Ways to Get the Most From Turmeric' was accepted by 'The Integrative RD', the newsletter of the Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Medicine.
I was honored to have my work read by my peers and pleasantly surprised by the reader feedback. Colleagues posed many intriguing questions about bringing turmeric into their kitchens and culinary medicine cabinets. They wanted to know how to use the spice to help their families and clients possibly reduce or eliminate the need for dozens of prescription drugs.
Turmeric reduces inflammation, modulates immunity, possesses antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties as well as potential anti-cancer properties. Clearly, turmeric can potentially benefit everyone's health. What can it do for you?
I plan to continue experimenting in the kitchen and writing about turmeric. So, what do you need to know about turmeric? A general overview? Research on specific health benefits? Please, send me your questions and/or recipe requests. Help me help you adopt this 'Spice for Life'.

We hear that the designer's motivation behind this one came from a desire to make a perfectly dressed gentleman look like a knight in shining armor. Almost, as if he is untouchable!
So backed with such ideas, you can well imagine what a handsome beauty the Creditcard Dispenser must be. The case has been carved in aluminum and gold, which is a very rare combination. According to Iten, aluminum is light weight making it and idea choice for engraving and gold has been sued as every mechanical performance element to celebrate their function, not to forget make the product rich too.
Apart from being a great looker, the Creditcard Dispenser is ergonomic in nature. It has a trigger-like mechanism that easily cascades up to four credit cards and puts them safely back in with the same triggering action. By the way, this trigger has been reinforced with inox to make it last longer.


text: We could write a review purely about the case of this PC – the stylish X-Navigator aluminum case is top of the line as far as chassis go. It is fully loaded with five cooling systems, handy clear side window, blue neon eye-candy and has plenty of multi-function expansion options. This latest Aspire model has been reworked to make it ideal for gamers (and PC enthusiasts) and the eye catching chassis will draw plenty of attention. The five built-in LED case fans provide superior cooling and the system boasts easily accessible front USB2.0 and Firewire port. Also on the front is the internal thermometer for the system's thermal status and a five-way fan control dial – allowing you to control the strength of the fans to keep your system at an optimal temperature and prevent overheating. Aspire have put a lot of thought into the presentation of the X-Navigator and each one comes with two additional faceplates allowing you to change the front panel of your case to fit your mood and personal decor. Looks only get you so far, but luckily the performance of the X-Navigator is top of its game as well. Our unit came complete with Intel's latest Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor which has the ability to run on a 1066MHz bus, allowing the CPU to talk to dual channels of 533MHz DDR2 memory with the benefit of symmetry. This avoids a bottleneck of data and if you throw in a decent high-end video card (ATI Radeon X850 XT or the Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX) you have one of the most powerful gaming systems available
