MORGANTOWN, Ind. (WISH) – Friday, new details emerged in the child molestation case against a Morgan County minister and his wife. Jonathan Harness and his wife Buffy are behind bars after they were found in a hotel in Columbus.
Jonathan Harness is facing a multitude of charges, including sexual misconduct with a minor, criminal deviate conduct and sexual battery. His wife Buffy is facing multiple charges for aiding, inducing, or causing sexual misconduct with a minor.
Friday, 24-Hour News 8 learned those charges involve a younger female family member.
Officials say the Harnesses' address is listed in the 100 block of E. Washington Street, a church in Morgantown. That church used to be named Abundant Life Fellowship Church, but neighbors say they haven't held mass there in about a year .
"They moved here about five years ago," said one neighbor. "They kept pretty much to themselves. I would see him outside mowing and they would say hi to me," neighbor Richard Clark told 24-Hour News 8.
"They're just difficult cases, and I would be lying if I didn't say they were difficult," said Morgan County Prosecutor Steve Sonnega. "They break your heart at times."
Sonnega wouldn't discuss specific details in the case, but said the victim is now safe.
The Martinsville Reporter-Times reports, according to an oral probable cause hearing, witnesses told investigators a family member was going to become a "second-wife"to Harness, and that plans had been made for her to have his children. The paper also reports that witnesses said Harness prayed to God that if he spared his sick son, he would quit having sexual relations with a family member.
"In Morgan County, we only have charges on one victim. There may be charges in other counties," said Sonnega.
Indiana State Police assisted the Morgan County Sheriff's Department and others in finding the couple after a warrant was issued for their arrest. Their investigation spanned from Morgantown to Johnson County, to Bartholomew County, where officers found the Harnesses in a hotel in Columbus.
24-Hour News 8 requested to speak with both Buffy and Jonathan Harness, but neither wanted to speak with us.

Two Powerful Men, Two Powerful Egos and a 'Clash of Titans'
By LESLIE EATON
Published: July 28, 2007
They are both outsized political powerhouses, with aggressive habits, huge ambitions and a history so tangled that political mavens have been waiting months for what seemed an inevitable explosion.
One, of course, is Gov. Eliot Spitzer. The other is not -- as one might expect -- Joseph L. Bruno, the State Senate's Republican majority leader, who has recently emerged as the governor's most prominent foe.
No, the other figure who has fascinated Albany watchers is Andrew M. Cuomo -- like Mr. Spitzer, a Democrat. Mr. Cuomo, who replaced Mr. Spitzer as attorney general in January, has made no secret of his desire one day to be governor, a post he disastrously sought in 2002.
Many eyes have been on Mr. Cuomo as he has handled the recent Bruno imbroglio, investigating the senator's penchant for traveling by state aircraft and the related efforts by the governor's staff to try to discredit him.
As shell-shocked New Yorkers know by now, the attorney general released a toughly worded report saying that some of Mr. Spitzer's top aides tried to use the state police to embarrass Mr. Bruno. In the days since, the report has created new complications for Mr. Cuomo's already complex and, some say, competitive relationship with the governor -- and sparked speculation about his motives.
Did Mr. Cuomo, some people have asked, pull his punches by not demanding that two of Mr. Spitzer's aides testify about the scheme? Mr. Cuomo's office has said the attorney general's office did not have the power to compel the two aides to talk.
But Paul Shechtman, a criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor who was chairman of the State Ethics Commission under Gov. George E. Pataki, called the report a ''puzzlement'' because investigators did not talk to the two aides, Darren Dopp, Mr. Spitzer's communications director, and Richard Baum, his chief adviser.
''It is hard-hitting and critical and at the same time, given the failure to interview two principal players, sort of stunningly incomplete,'' Mr. Shechtman said. (Mr. Spitzer has said he will allow the two men to testify before the State Ethics Commission.)
But others have wondered whether the attorney general was trying to embarrass Mr. Spitzer by releasing the report on a Monday, ensuring that it would be talked and written and gossiped about for days.
''People will look at it and say Andrew's ambitious, out to get Eliot,'' said Douglas A. Muzzio, a professor at Baruch College's School of Public Affairs. His own opinion is that Mr. Cuomo ''called it the way he saw it.''
Yet there is also a sense among some political analysts that Mr. Cuomo has emerged with his reputation enhanced and his power increased because both the governor and state Republicans have embraced the report's findings.
Henry J. Stern, for example, the longtime parks commissioner who founded the good-government group New York Civic, said: ''If anyone thought six months ago which one would be incompetent, they thought Cuomo would be the jerk and Spitzer would be the cool guy. But that appears not to be the case.''
Mr. Cuomo's spokesman, Jeffrey B. Lerner, would not comment on how involved Mr. Cuomo was with the investigation, the report, or the timing of its release.
The report itself lists as the authors Ellen Nachtigall Biben, a former prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney's office who now heads the attorney general's public integrity unit; Linda A. Lacewell, a former federal prosecutor who worked on the government's Enron cases; and Jerry H. Goldfeder, an election lawyer who, like Ms. Lacewell, is a special counsel to Mr. Cuomo.
But many people give Mr. Cuomo credit for the outcome. ''This is the kind of issue, this clash of titans, that most politicians would have ducked,'' said Stuart H. Brody, a labor lawyer and chairman of the Democratic Rural Conference. ''Instead of ducking, Andrew stood up and got the job done.''
If people sometimes see Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Spitzer as rivals, that may be because they are so much alike. They are almost the same age: Mr. Cuomo, at 49, is only 18 months older than Mr. Spitzer. They both have powerful fathers; Mr. Cuomo's, of course, was the governor of New York and remains an influential figure in the state, while Mr. Spitzer's is a wealthy real estate developer who bankrolled his son's first political forays.
Early in their careers, both Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Cuomo worked as prosecutors for Robert M. Morgenthau, the legendary Manhattan district attorney, though Mr. Cuomo's tenure was relatively brief, while Mr. Spitzer became chief of the rackets bureau.
But their relationship has been rocky at times. In 2000, Mr. Spitzer complained publicly that Mr. Cuomo had taken over -- and taken credit for -- his efforts to control hand-gun sales.
Mr. Spitzer did not endorse Mr. Cuomo until after he won the Democratic primary for attorney general, which some believe rankled Mr. Cuomo.
The two men have become polite and mutually complimentary, if not warm; George Arzt, a political consultant who has worked closely with both, describes them as cordial. But, he said, ''the relationship will not get any better after this.''
Mr. Cuomo, known as a media-seeking missile during his days as federal housing czar, has kept a much lower profile as attorney general. He did not hold a news conference to publicize his findings, instead putting out a three-sentence statement saying basically, ''We were asked to investigate, and we did.''
During last year's campaign, Mr. Cuomo promised voters that he was no longer the brash young man who had served as an enforcer for his father, Gov. Mario M. Cuomo. Or even the Andrew Cuomo who was accused of arrogance when he unsuccessfully challenged the party favorite, H. Carl McCall, for the Democratic nomination for governor five years ago.
Instead, Mr. Cuomo portrayed himself as humbled by hard knocks, which included his highly public divorce from Kerry Kennedy.
The way he handled the Spitzer/Bruno investigation not only allows Mr. Cuomo to prove he has changed; it also lets him position himself as a real reformer, said Hank Sheinkopf, a political consultant who has advised Mr. Cuomo's past opponents.
''He's much smarter and uses power a lot better,'' Mr. Sheinkopf said. ''He's showing patience.''
Although New York's attorney general is elected, not appointed, and in theory can oppose the governor, in practice such clashes have been rare.
Even Mr. Spitzer, in his two terms as attorney general, seemed to spend far more time and effort prosecuting Wall Street firms than policing the Pataki administration. But in his campaign for governor, Mr. Spitzer vowed to clean up Albany, as did Mr. Cuomo.
John Marino, who worked for Mr. Cuomo's father and knows Mr. Spitzer, acknowledged that the two had had some problems, but insists that they have been on friendlier terms in recent times. At a Labor Day breakfast last year, ''they were talking about stuff I don't know anything about, Nascar and cars,'' he said.
Still, Mr. Marino added, ''They are now in jobs that make things more difficult.''

We'll have more information on this story today, but as of last night police were only providing limited details in the shooting death of a man who was found dead in the stairwell at the John P. Taylor apartments.
The victim was found around 1:30 p.m. on the second-floor landing of building No. 4, police said. The man has not been identified and police only described him as a white male who did not live in the building. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed this afternoon.
My colleague Jordan Carleo-Evangelist spoke with several tenants at the building, one of whom gave a detailed recollection of how she and her grandchild came across the grisly scene.
From Jordan's story:
Carmen Valentin said her 10-year-old son and 5-year-old granddaughter were among four young children also among the first to happen upon the body.
"He says he keeps seeing it in his head," Valentin, 43, who has lived in the 10-story Troy Housing Authority building for three years, said of her son. "He said, 'Mommy, I didn't hear nothing.'"
Thankfully, she said, her granddaughter likely doesn't understand what she witnessed.
"I think that she just thinks that he fell and hurt himself," said Valentin, a mother of four and grandmother to two. The children continued to play on a nearby playground into the evening.

Golden Gate Park & Recreation
The Bay Area's Beautiful Outdoors
While most of the Bay Area is now priced to match the riches of Silicon Valley, there is careful consideration to keep green areas open to everyone. Thankfully.
Golden Gate Park is the second most visited park in the U.S. (Central Park is #1), and within its 1,017 acres you'll find more than just a grassy area. For those looking to up their plant game, the Park houses the Conservatory of Flowers, Japanese Tea Garden, and the SF Botanical Gardens.
The Arts
The de Young Fine Arts Museum is technically not a new place, since it's been around since 1895. However, renovations in 2005–designed by Herzog & de Meuron (some of the world's finest)–delivered a fresh take on bringing the outside in. The revamp gave de Young a chance to stand tall in the art world today.
The Sciences
Museum number two at Golden Gate Park: The California Academy of Sciences. We hear the California greenery is a perfect fit for their Planetarium's show "Incoming!" Our favorite member of the USS Enterprise, George Takei, narrates the beautiful show.
The Great Outdoors
If you're simply looking to be outside and enjoy the landscape, there are plenty of other options. Manmade Stow Lake can be a place for a romantic boat paddling sesh. The Conservatory of Flowers is simply heavenly. Hippie Hill is a friendly, drum circle-happy, Frisbee-playing area that the cops don't bother visiting.
Fun fact: this was the site of the Human Be-In in 1967, which kicked off the famous Summer of Love that introduced psychedelic culture. If you're seeking a phenomenal view, hike to the top of Strawberry Hill to overlook the beautiful Mt. Tamalpais and Golden Gate Bridge. This is a great spot for a picnic!
We think of an experience at the Kimpton Buchanan as one that resembles stepping into a West Elm catalog. Located in Japantown, this spot is just steps away from the Fillmore District, and one of the closest hotels to the park. It's so inviting that you'll probably want to spend time here; Kimpton hotels are always very well thought-out. We dig this place a lot…and think we'll just stay a while. Bonus: killer ramen around the corner at Waraku and Yamadaya.
The Argonaut Hotel is a high-end boutique hotel in Fisherman's Wharf, the city's most tourist-frequented area, because of its great views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Infused with nautical details, this restored brick warehouse is within walking distance of all the attractions in the waterfront neighborhood. San Fran is pretty small and getting around is easy, so you should have no problems exploring the great park with the Argonaut as your starting point.
If panoramic San Francisco sights are what you're looking for, this is the spot to book. Here, guests can enjoy incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Transamerica Pyramid, and even Alcatraz. Accommodations aren't too shabby, either. Loews Regency nails the classy, charming, luxuriously modern vibe. This would also be a good place to stay if you're coming with parents or a mature group.

America's Government-Controlled Schools (Part II)

If parents are bothered by government-controlled schools, why have they persisted in keeping their children in them? Parents have basically justified their decisions to keep their children in America's public schools. Some of their justifications have been as follow:
1. We do not really want to place our children in a public school, but we are in a financial crunch and there are no other alternatives.
2. The real world is full of sinners; therefore, I need to place my children in the public school system to help them cope with real situations that arise in life.
3. I keep my children in public schools I want them to be, as the Bible says, 'salt and light'-and to be a Godly example to the lost around them.
4. My son/daughter loves sports, and the public schools offer the best programs.
5. I do not feel qualified to teach my children at home, and I cannot afford a Christian school; therefore, I have no choice but to place my children in a public school.
6. Look at me! I made it through the public school system and turned out all right, so I am sure my children will turn out OK in the end. (1)
Of course, most of these reasons for placing your children in godless public schools do have alternatives. Many private Christian schools have scholarships for students who need help financially. Children can learn to cope with real situations at home, too. They arise on a daily basis. As far as the concept of "salt and light," Christian children in public school could easily become "pepper and darkness" because of the flaunting of sin in front of them daily. Playing sports should never be a reason for deciding which school your children attend. Hell does not have a dynamic sport's program. As far as being qualified to teach your children, Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me." Finally, children today are facing many more temptations than most of us did when we were in public school, especially all the violence and death. They may not be able to come out of public school without losing much or all of their spirituality. When in doubt, ask yourself one quick question. "Does the current educational system in government schools accomplish the task of preparing children to be useful for the Lord?" Of course, the answer to this question is a resounding "NO". If children are not getting instruction in the Bible as they did many years ago in public schools, then the chances of them coming out of school prepared to work for the Lord is null and void. (1)
Unfortunately, all parents do not teach their children any Christ-centered values. That is the reason it was important for the reading of the Bible in public schools. David Perkins Page, the first public school principal of New York, felt the same way. He believed that all children should be taught Biblical principles in school regardless of their religious beliefs. He said, "In our public schools, supported at the public expense, and in which the children of all denominations meet for instruction, I do not think that any man has a right to crowd his own peculiar notions of a theology upon all, whether they are acceptable or not. Yet there is a common ground which he can occupy. He can teach a reverence for a Supreme Being, a reverence for the Word of God, for the influence of His Spirit, for the character and teachings of our Savior. For the momentous concerns of eternity, he can teach the duty of repentance, and the privileges of forgiveness, and the salvation by His Son." (1) Therefore, the teaching of Biblical principles was a blessing to the youth of our nation. However, America's school systems began to decline when prayer, Bible reading, and the Ten Commandments were removed from the classroom. Thus, by allowing the purposeful demise of our Judeo-Christian values, our children and our nation have become aloof from God and His blessings.
Despite all the turmoil in the public schools, there are still many Christian teachers and students in the halls and in the classrooms. Therefore, the spirit of God is still in public schools, but He is not as dominant as He was many years ago. Christian teachers and students are witnessing daily to unsaved and lost students and teachers. It is definitely a missionary effort. However, the few Christian teachers that are still in the public school systems are facing many legal and satanic obstacles as they attempt to do what God has called them to do. Regardless of their mighty efforts, most students graduate without of sense of morality, honesty, and Godly character. Any education that is not based on Godly values is not a Godly education. Students accept that they are self-sufficient and independent. Basically, they accept the secular humanist ideology that is prevalent in America's public schools today.
Christian teachers promote their lifestyles as they witness to students each day. However, non-Christian teachers promote their lifestyles, too. Homosexual and lesbian teachers transfer their beliefs to their students. New Age believers transfer their beliefs to their students. Secular humanists indoctrinate their students with their beliefs, too. However, when your children are under the authority of atheistic teachers, they are being taught atheistic beliefs and values. The influence of teachers and peers destroy the Christian values of many students. Students are taught to despise good and cherish evil. As Psalm 14:1states, "The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Also, Proverbs 13:20 says, "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." Therefore, if the bad guys are in the barn, do not send your children to the barn! (1)
According to Psalm 144: 11-12, the Bible specifically warns parents, "Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. That our sons be as plants grown up in their youth that our daughters may be as cornerstones, polished after the similitude of a palace." (1) Since most children spend their days in government-controlled schools, it is reasonable to assume that they will not be polished vessels preparing to do the Lord's work. In fact, many public school teachers enroll their own children in private schools because they know firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. Many retired public school teachers know firsthand the sin and ugliness that goes on in public schools, also. This is the reason many of them retired. Also, the fact that many young children cry when they are taken to the bus stop or dropped off at school could be a subliminal message from God. The message could be "Rescue my children before they perish." We as Christian adults need to listen! (1)
Why are Christians concerned about America's public school system? Basically, their main concern is the lack of Biblical teachings. Apparently, the purpose of modern public schools is to repudiate America's Judeo-Christian heritage and to eradicate any faith in God. Of course, it would be easy to prove my assumption. If parents could be the proverbial "fly on the wall," they would see and hear things that would be mind-boggling. The only safe way to tour a public school would be to wear blinders and earplugs. If not, parents would exit the school with a less than godly feeling. Immoral sex, profanity, and different types of violence are common. Police roam the halls to protect the students from being attacked. Therefore, many schools are more like combat zones than educational centers. "Where is the love?" could be the theme for many of our schools, also. Students hurt each other for the simplest reasons. There is no sense of the love of Christ pervading the hearts of the students of most government-controlled schools. Intimidation and fear run rampant throughout the halls and classrooms. Threats are commonplace. Bullying occurs on a regular basis, too. Many Christian students encounter the sins of pornography, profanity, drugs, and sex for the first time.
Therefore, parents have every right to be concerned about America's public schools. (1)
Peer pressure has always been a problem for children, youth, and teenagers. As a result, children are forced to conform to the "wiles of the devil" if they are to survive in the public school setting. The infestation of sin in public schools has destroyed many good, Christian students. The pressures were just too great for them. The sins that were placed before their eyes daily drew them away from their Christian beliefs. Thereby, many American public school students have traded their godly life for a life filled with sin and torment. Ultimately, fear and mistrust replaces love and concern. Therefore, it is no wonder that the report card for America's public schools reflects the poor grades of students who fear for their life every day that they enter the former safe havens of education in America.
Do parents of students in government-controlled public schools really understand what their children face each day? Do they realize that America's schools permit social architects to transform our public schools into secular humanistic institutions? As stated in 'The Humanist Magazine' in 1983, "The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new-the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism… It will undoubtedly be a long, arduous, painful struggle, replete with much sorrow and many tears, but humanism will emerge triumphant." (1) Therefore, since public schools will be the major warring arena for America's children, parents should seriously ponder the ramifications for educating their children in a hazardous learning environment. Despite the many educational advantages of the public school systems, the spiritual negativism will counteract any good. According to the Nehemiah Institute, the influence of government schools on Christian teenagers has been extremely destructive to their spirituality. Many of these students have abandoned their Christian beliefs within two years after they begin college. (2) Christian parents have been blinded to the truth of Satan's agenda for their children. As Mark 8: 36 so aptly states, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
According to Bruce Shortt, "The 'harsh truth about public schools' is that they are an enemy not just of Christianity but of academics, personal and intellectual independence, and even children's safety. They cannot educate, which is unsurprising since over the past couple of decades their focus has been on inculcating political correctness and teaching job skills (Outcome-Based Education, School-to-Work, Workforce Investment, and finally No Child Left Behind). Their aim has not been education but the production of desirable forms of mass behavior. The government-sponsored educational system is thus the major contributor to the dumbing down of the country. Its guiding philosophies are materialistic humanism and moral subjectivism, with the full backing of the U. S. Supreme Court. Government schools have thus become not just anti-Christian but anti-academic, anti-male, collectivist, and violent." (2) Therefore, government-controlled public schools have been successful in their approach to education in America. They have replaced a godly education in a safe nurturing environment with an ungodly education surrounded by sin, violence, terror, and death. Wake Up, America! Wake Up, Christian parents! Rescue Your Children!

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written early in the career of
renowned playwright William Shakespeare about two teenage "star-cross'd lovers"
whose untimely deaths ultimately unite their feuding households. The play has
been highly praised by literary critics for its language and dramatic effect. It
was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with
Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Its influence is
still seen today, with the two main characters being widely represented as
archetypal young lovers.
Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to Ancient Greece. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1582. Brooke and Painter were Shakespeare's chief sources of inspiration for Romeo and Juliet. He borrowed heavily from both, but developed minor characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris, in order to expand the plot. Believed to be written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. This text was of poor quality, and later editions corrected it, bringing it more in line with Shakespeare's original text.
Shakespeare's use of dramatic structure, especially his expansion of minor characters and use of subplots to embellish the story, has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more adept at the sonnet form over time. Characters frequently compare love and death and allude to the role of fate.
Since its original publication, Romeo and Juliet has been adapted numerous times in stage, film, musical and operatic forms. During the Restoration, it was revived and heavily revised by William Davenant. David Garrick's 18th century version, which continued to be performed on and into the Victorian era, also modified several scenes, removing material then considered indecent. Performances in the 19th century, including Charlotte Cushman's, restored the original text, and focused on greater realism. John Gielgud's 1935 version kept very close to Shakespeare's text, and used Elizabethan costumes and staging to enhance the drama.

It is that wonderful time of year: a month into school, sports seasons in full swing.
My playing career has ended, but I can still remember some of the issues I dealt with in high school, in the years leading up to college. Those things that were in "gray areas," and were left to be figured out on your own time. I can certainly remember the things I wish I'd known and the habits I wish I had already developed.
As a former athlete and a current sports enthusiast, I'm here to help you, the high school athlete, and your family navigate the murky streams of high school sports that abruptly drop you into the large lakes of college athletics.
The time will fly by. I remember the corner of The Post building where I sat finishing class work, at the Winter All-Met photo shoot in 2007. It feels as if I blinked my eyes too hard, and magically became a Georgetown alumna, and recipient of The Post's Distinguished All-Met Award four years later.
While there is no "one-size fits all" formula, some things remain the same across sports — namely, hard work. As I survey the college athletes I know, a common theme arises: "I wish I knew how to work hard before college."
Don't get me wrong. I'm sure many of you have already accomplished success in your various sports and probably work very hard, in your own mind. But the fact of the matter is, collegiate athletics are a level of competition that has yet to be unveiled for you. It is a level of competition that you won't know until you know.
My intent is by no means to scare you, just to give you caution. While your current coaches coach out of passion, college coaches rest their livelihoods in the ability of their players to produce. It is their job to get the maximum level of production out of you, their player.
So I'll do it when I get there, you may think. Not that easy, if you haven't already developed the habit. Change your attitude now; build your work ethic now. My resident assistant (RA) at Georgetown posted a quote by Abraham Lincoln on his door, and it just so happened to coincide with one of the most hellacious preseasons of my career: "Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then… find the way."
That quote must embody your attitude now, as a high school athlete. Take the challenges you are facing now, and view them as exercises building your strength for what is to come. If this sincerely becomes your attitude, then hard work will not be a question. It will mean nothing to you to be at practice early, and leave late because you are working on your game. Your attitude toward daunting tasks will become, "just something to do that ultimately makes me better."
In your mind, buddy up with the family named Hard Work. You should be BFF's with High School Hard Work; this way, when you meet his bigger, stronger, tougher, older brother, College Competition, you will already be a close friend of the family.

Most tick bites are painless and cause only minor signs and symptoms, such as redness, swelling or a sore on the skin. But some ticks transmit bacteria that cause illnesses, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In general, to transmit disease most ticks need to be attached for at least 24 hours.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if you develop:
The rash gets bigger. A small red bump may appear at the site of the tick bite. This is normal. But if it develops into a larger rash, perhaps with a bull's-eye pattern, it may indicate Lyme disease. The rash usually appears within three to 14 days.
Also consult your doctor if signs and symptoms disappear because you may still be at risk of the disease. Your risk of contracting a disease from a tick bite depends on where you live or travel to, how much time you spend outside in woody and grassy areas, and how well you protect yourself.
If possible, bring the tick with you to your doctor's appointment.

STI e-Outlook › STI country profiles › Chile
General features of the STI system: Chile is a small open economy. It is the world's leading producer of copper, on which its exports largely depend. Chile's economic performance over the last decades was driven by economic reforms and institution building. However, average GDP growth has slowed markedly in the 2000s, owing in part to the need to strengthen various aspects of the innovation system. The business sector plays a modest role in R&D; BERD accounted for only 0.16% of GDP in 2010 (Performance index (d)), the lowest among OECD countries. Business R&D performance suffers from a relative lack of the competitive pressures that stimulate innovation. Many firms innovate through adaptation of imported technologies, which is not tracked by R&D indicators. Chilean framework conditions continue to be a challenge: the ease of entrepreneurship index is below the OECD median (Index (j)). Scarcity of human capital is also a major concern: all indicators are below the OECD median (Index (s)(t)(u)(v)). Over 2008-10, 55% of total scientific articles had international co-authors (Index (q)) and 31% of total PCT patent applications were international co-inventions over 2007-09 (Index (r)), both above the OECD median, owing in part to the small size of the national scientific and research community.
|Key figures
|Labour productivity, GDP per hour worked in USD, 2010
|GERD, as % of GDP, 2010
|(annual growth rate, 2005-10 )
|(annual growth rate, 2005-10)
|Environmental productivity, GDP per unit of CO
|GERD publicly financed, as % of GDP, 2010
|(annual growth rate, 2005-09)
|(annual growth rate, 2005-10)
Recent changes in STI expenditures: Following a substantial increase in public spending, Chile's GERD was 0.42% of GDP in 2010, among the lowest of OECD countries with Mexico and Greece. The government's objective is to increase spending on R&D from 0.4% to 0.8% of GDP. In 2012 the public budget for science, technology and innovation rose to USD 500 million to help reach this objective.
Overall STI strategy: The National Innovation Strategy for Competitiveness, presented in 2008 by the previous government, has three main pillars: i) the development of human capital; ii) the strengthening of the science base to address socio-economic needs; and iii) the improvement of business R&D and innovation activities. The current government's 2010-14 Innovation Plan has eight major axes; these include greater emphasis on entrepreneurship and on technology transfer, global connection and dissemination.
STI policy governance: Since the establishment of the National Innovation Council for Competitiveness (CNIC) in 2005 to advise the president on a national innovation strategy, there has been no major change in STI policy governance. An emerging debate in this respect concerns giving CNIC responsibility for monitoring the implementation of the strategy and evaluating its impacts.
Science base: Chile's science base is weak. Public R&D expenditure was only 0.16% of GDP in 2010, the lowest among OECD countries (Index (a)). The scientific community is small (Index (v)) and quality research is concentrated in only a few universities. Public research does not do enough to meet the needs of the productive sector.
Entrepreneurship: Limited financial resources and administrative burdens have hampered start-up activities. In response, a law was passed in January 2011 to lower regulatory barriers for young companies and reduce the time to start up a business. Programmes such as Fondo Capital Abeja aim to ease access to credit for small enterprises and women, and the Support for Entrepreneurial Environment programme aims to foster entrepreneurship skills and competences.
ICTs and scientific infrastructures: As part of the objective to strengthen the national science base, the government has increased funding for the modernisation and improvement of S&T infrastructures, notably through the recently established Fondequip, with a budget of over USD 10 million in 2012.
Knowledge flows and commercialisation: The Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO) promotes collaborative research by companies, researchers and PRIs in priority sectors (e.g. aquaculture, the food industry, mining). It offers a number of incentives to improve technology transfer (e.g. support for IPRs and programmes to strengthen universities' transfer and licensing offices). Go to Market, a programme launched in 2011, aims to facilitate the commercialisation and export of the results of applied R&D carried out by enterprises and researchers.
Globalisation: Start Up Chile, launched as a pilot programme in 2010, seeks to attract entrepreneurs from abroad by offering equity-free seed capital and a temporary one-year visa to develop innovative start-up activities. A programme to attract international centres of excellence for competitiveness aims to facilitate the installation in Chile of international centres of excellence in R&D. Collaboration has already been established with the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (Germany) in biotechnology, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) (Australia) in mining and mineral processing, Inria (France) in ICT, and Wageningen UR (Netherlands) in the food industry. It focuses specifically on generating capacity in priority sectors such as aquaculture and mining. The Global Connection programme supports the internationalisation of Chilean entrepreneurs.
Human resources: The improvement of the quality of the national education system at all levels is a priority. The Teacher Vocation Scholarship, launched in 2010, encourages good students to become teachers, and a quality assurance system was introduced in 2011. Chile VA! (2011) is a programme to promote S&T vocations by organising science camps. These programmes are complemented by an increase in scholarships and a reduction in the interest rate on guaranteed student loans. A programme for placing researchers in enterprises has been implemented to enhance researchers' involvement in activities that support private innovation.
Emerging technology fields: Through CORFO, Chile has developed a programme to strengthen strategic productive sectors in five fields: food, mining, global services, aquaculture and special interest tourism. With a budget of USD 1.1 million for 2012, the programme focuses on co-ordination of work between public and private institutions, companies, researchers and academics to promote the competitiveness of these sectors.
Green innovation: The Ministry of Environment, established in 2010, is in charge of implementing the National Plan on Climate Change 2008-12. In 2009 the Renewable Energy Centre was created to help build national capabilities to address related challenges.

The felhunters still devoured my enslave but only like the last one (that was still alive). Maybe a fear macro for the pit lord would be useful.
Agro the 3 felhunters asap and kill them asap. turn their back to the pit lord also. kanrethad should be attacking your pit lord btw. and you should have no dots on you, and available cds or 3 embers if destro
I just killed this stupid bastard of a demon and got mah green fire!
I got him down with 480 ilvl gear with no T14 4pcs bonus and 3 PvP items rest LFR and heroic gear. There was NO WAY I could have killed him without purification potion, I just can't focus on DPSing him with all the chaos going on in this fight.
Took me about 50+ wipes over the course of 2 days.
This fight was BRUTAL and I loved every second of it! I actually wish I could somehow do it again just for fun.
Thanks everyone for all the tips and good luck!!
This fight reminded me how finnicky LoS is... I'm sorry I wasn't far enough behind the pillar for you.
Anyway, majority of my wipes were to me having absolute shit luck. The seed debuff would, without fail, be the ursol's vortex thing if I was LoSing in the corner so I would be literally trapped.
My kill came with a purification pot on the 3rd extra set of imps. I focused so much more on avoiding things than killing him.
Last edited by Drikkink; 2013-03-20 at 11:21 AM.
Got him down after about 40 odd tries.
Few pointers, which i've also seen mentioned earlier or in videos.
Use the Demonic Gateway as if your life depended on it, which it actually does.
Bind /petmoveto to a easy accessible key, this for positioning the Pitlord for imp phase, and felhound phase.
I found that imp phase was best handled by chucking a few ROF on the gate and wait a second or two, then Pitlord flame and use Shadowfury to lower the incoming damage from the casting, and a few more ROF to finish them off.
For Felhound phase I highly recommend moving the Pitlord behind a pillar, i used the demonic circle placed off to the right to quickly get there to send the Pitlord, as the boss will follow after him after he is done with summoning the Felhounds.
And before the Felhounds spawn, Soulshatter and pop Unbound Will to clear debuffs and ROF the gateway where they are spawning.
I found this tactic worked really well for Felhounds as that was the one I mainly struggled with, them devouring my enslave, and this also prevents the boss from casting Chaos Bolt on you, if you have positioned the Pitlord far enough behind the pillar.
Note after the Felhounds are dead, have the Pitlord come out, as he otherwise might be out of range to Charge the boss when he casts Cataclysm.
Other than that, it's all about managing the chaos that's going down.
About 30ish tries and I just got him down.
I'm 491 ilvl without any set pieces. Had plenty of time left on doom at the end as I luckily managed to avoid his first dooms until after the first Cataclysm.(I dunno how tho).
Got this as affliction 507ilvl the other night.
Will lay out how I did it step by step:
Put Gateways down just to the left of the large grate in the centre
Put portal down to the left of the bosses gateway (round the pillar to the immediate left of the gate, NOT the large pillar that is one of the 4 in the room, that is too far) after you have started the event to maxmise its 6 minute up time.
Pop everything and nuke him at the start, you can use your cooldowns here and they will be ready for the fel hunters
Cast glyphed enslave demon (simple macro) just as he finishes his pit lord cast
/target pit lord
/cast enslave demon
Either use Imp sacrifice or be efficient with the pit lords breath to cleanse your debuffs (Avoiding the annoying imp makes the fight much smoother and the breath will remove both agony and seed if you stand in it for a few seconds).
Your Doomguard can be great when it soaks the first chaos bolt allowing your SP to be used on other things.
You can Stun him as soon as the pit lord is enslaved as he won't do a cataclysm before the cooldown is off.
SB:SoC on the imps as they spawn and Harvest life them, a second SB:SoC if needed to finish off the imps that spawned after the 1st popped. There will likely be a chaos bolt during the imps, if you've made sure you are below threat on the boss your pit lord will take the hit instead. If not, SF the imps, siphon demon and SP to soak it.
Remember to have the pit Lord stun the boss at the start of a cataclysm cast and continue to stand in the breath for the debuff removal (just after interrupting the cataclysm is a nice time to remove debuffs)
Keep nuking and be ready for the felpups spawning, about 30 seconds after the first cataclysm he'll summon the felhunters, be ready and command move your pit lord to where your portal is. Move in the opposite direction to where your pit lord went and SB:SS nuke the felhunters down there (they have little health when theres nothing else to be doing), ensure you have Glyph of soul consumption to be at max health after they are dead. Use SF if you need a couple more seconds when they spawn. Be sure that you don't pull them into the room, keep them level(ish) with the Bosses demonic gate to ensure they do not come into LoS with the Pit lord
If you are quick on killing them you should have no problem with the next cataclysm cast, if not be sure to take your pit lord off "move here" so that he can be in range to stun the bosses cataclysm cast. Use this time to cleanse your debuffs with his breath.
Another 30-40 seconds and he will summon his first Doomguard, just banish it instantly with a similar macro to the enslave. Forte Exorcist will warn you when it is almost out of banish so you can re apply it.
Repeat this process for the next imps and felpups (remember to make ample use of siphon demon and breaths).
For the second Doom Lord keep him feared or have the pit lord attack him/breath etc to get him aggroed off you.
Having the pit lord hide round the corner for the pups makes the fight sooooo much easier. The boss will just follow him provided he is the highest aggro.
If you are having problems with the Pit Lord's enslave running out before you finish the fight, once you are at a calm phase (just after a cataclysm possibly, when you have no adds up) just un-enslave the Pit Lord SF him and Re-enslave, or just be far enough from him to re-enslave before he gets to you. Be sure you have Soul Shatter off CD so you can quickly get the boss back onto the Pit Lord and avoid any nasty Chaos bolts.
Of course if you are unfortunate to have him cast the CB on you instead just be ready to portal behind the pillar or siphon demon and SP

I killed the bastard today in an attempt that was botched from the start. I was too late at enslaving, so the Pit Lord charged me. I had to emergency mitigate a chaos bolt because I was too slow. I missed half a dozen imps at the first gate who started to run rampage through the fight. But the felhunter phases went smoothly, so I went on. And killed him, finally. At the last Imp gate I had him down to 9%, rain of fired the gate, hit all defensive cooldowns and threw 8-10 shadowburns at him and he finally went down
Does anyone have some very specific pointers with regards to the fel hunter transition? I'm managing to figure out every which way to fail: send pit lord to pillar too early and end up with lots of dots, soul shattering too late and losing aggro on fel hunters, not managing to lose aggro on Kanrethad despite using portals and soul shatter.
Your comments are duly noted and ignored.
I punch a hobo every time someone says 'it's not a rotation it's a priority list lol'.
the drop rate for the Tome is horrid. I'm done, this shit is stupid.
Finally did it! after 25+ wipes, using gateway on cooldown made the whole difference. I dealt with both felhunter's phases banishing the doomlord, dismissing the pitlord and fearing him, glyphed. You need to kill all felpuppies in 20 sec or so, before pitlord's fear break.
Good luck!
While I understand that this is meant to be a challenge, ITS JUST SO DAMN HARD. I just cant do it. Even a tiny nerf like increasing Kanrethads cast times would be cool with me
With Fire and Brimstone I light my path.
With Pain and Shadow I smite my foes.
With Demon and Fel I raise my armies.
They change something? After 60 rare kill i dropped my tome 3 days ago. Today i dropped 3 book O_o
Consistently getting past all of the normal phases now. Of course now I'm finding even more ways to fail. Got a bigger buff display so I won't lose track of Curse. Ironing out imp phase so I don't flip out and die on those. Got him to 12% and then died on an imp phase (doh!). Last try, I think I killed my pit lord by using the heal too much so I'm going to try to focus on survivability next.
Your comments are duly noted and ignored.
I punch a hobo every time someone says 'it's not a rotation it's a priority list lol'.

City of Saint John 2017 Construction Projects
In 2017, the City of Saint John is investing $8 million towards storm sewer and street upgrades and up to $42 million to improve water and sewerage systems and facilities. An additional $265 thousand is allocated for the City's annual asphalt maintenance program. The projects indentified on the map are from four main categories as follows: Asphalt Maintenance Resurfacing
In order to achieve the maximum service life from the City's street network it is necessary to resurface the streets on a regular 12-15 year cycle. The top 40mm layer of asphalt is milled off and then a new layer of asphalt is applied to resurface the street.
Street Reconstruction
The service life of a street can be extended by asphalt maintenance resurfacing but eventually streets will need to be fully reconstructed. Street reconstruction involves excavation to remove the existing asphalt with replacement of the granular material below the asphalt and installing new concrete curbs and sidewalks where required and then reinstating the asphalt. The street reconstruction may include the renewal of underground utilities such as water, sanitary and storm sewers.
Water and Sewer Construction
Water and sewer construction is carried out to replace deteriorated underground pipes or to install new systems to support growth and development. Construction work is also required to upgrade the City's water and sewerage pumping and treatment facilities to ensure the systems are maintained in a reliable state.
Safe Clean Drinking Water Project (SCDWP)
The SCDWP includes the design and construction of a new Water Treatment Plant (WTP) on the east side of Saint John, a new Wellfield on the west side of Saint John, new transmission mains and the rehabilitation of existing transmission mains at various locations in Saint John.

History and information about FASS and their products.
FASS Fuel System (Fuel Air Separation System) is a combination diesel FASS fuel pump and fuel filtration system that is designed to improve your diesel trucks fuel mileage, engine performance and extend the life of your diesel injection system.
FASS fuel system manufactures from American made components that are then assembled and tested in house using the highest quality components. FASS Diesel systems fit most Ford Powerstroke, Dodge Cummins, and GM Duramax Engines.
With a FASS Fuel Pump or FASS fuel filters only the purest quality fuel is delivered to your diesel engine by removing dirt, water and air through a two step filtration process while switching the fuel delivery process from a suction delivery to a pressure delivery, eliminating the possibility of reintroducing air back into the fuel after it has already been removed. FASS Fuel Filters (diesel) have a rating as low as 3 Micron, which provides superior protection from debris in your diesel fuel and engine. If you're in the market for a Fass Duramax Fuel Filter Delete Kit, look no further!
Titanium Series diesel FASS fuel pumps are a compact design with a very powerful motor designed and manufactured to hold up to the most extreme conditions. The FASS Titanium Series pump utilizes a motor that is capable of flow rates up to 260 gallons per hour and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all light duty diesel applications.
FASS Titanium Series Fuel Systems are beneficial for both modified and stock motors. An improved filtration process can help extend the life of your Bosch injection system, especially the injectors that are prone to failures.
FASS produces the most versatile High Performance Fuel Pump (pump only) on the market (The FA Series). The FA Series allows the customer to tweak the fuel pressure to the engine on-the-fly, delivering unmatched versatility. Flow rates from 95 – 260gph and fuel pressure from 0 – 75psi!

BARSTOW, Texas (AP) - A collision between a freight train and a water-hauling truck in West Texas has left two people hurt and more than a dozen cars and locomotives derailed.
Union Pacific Railroad spokesman Jeff DeGraff says crews worked Monday to repair and reopen the line near Barstow. That's about 50 miles southwest of Odessa.
DeGraff says three locomotives and 10 cars on the eastbound train derailed Sunday afternoon but remained upright. The train was hauling cargo containers from California to Shreveport, Louisiana, when the collision happened at a rural crossing.
DeGraff says the trucker was transported to an Odessa hospital. His name and further details on his condition weren't immediately available.
DeGraff says a conductor suffered a minor arm injury that did not require medical attention.

Skip to comments.Virgil Goode submits 14,000 signatures for ballot, with help from Independent Greens
Posted on 07/25/2012 6:30:17 PM PDT by mnehring
With a little help from his friends, former congressman Virgil Goode has taken a key step toward getting his name on Novembers presidential ballot in Virginia, submitting more than 14,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections....
..Goode was a Democrat for much of his career, then became an Independent and finally a Republican for his last six years on Capitol Hill. Now Goode is getting assistance from yet another party, the Independent Greens, whose members have collected thousands of signatures for him....
...Virgil supports rail, and thats our big issue and hes with us on that, said Carey Campbell, a member of the Independent Greens executive committee. Weve had for many years a good relationship with the Constitution Party folks....
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Your post makes no sense, Artcore.
During the Korean War it was possible for American units to be attacked by BOTH Chinese and N. Korean troops.
They didn't shoot at one and ignore the other. They realized BOTH were enemies and had no qualms about shooting either.
I love Pennsylvania!
I hope Romney hands Obama his skinny A$$! ;-)
You are right, barry won't have his teleprompter so you never know what brilliant, on the spot idea he'll share. BUT he will have the questions in advance, don't doubt it. And as back up he'll have one of those nifty little ear pieces for someone to feed him answers.
Watch for long pauses while he waits to hear what the puppet masters have him say.
Your Post #13 is spot on.
At this immediate point, Goode could end up being to us what Ralph Nader was to the Dems in 2000.
"9,809,662 Republicans voted for Romney in all the state primaries, according to Real Clear Politics. I guess these Republicans are all wrong. There is a point here and I am wondering if you catch on."
....and how many of these idiots mindlessly voted for Bloomberg without bothering to find out what he stood for just because he had an "R" behind his name?
Tell me who you will vote for mnehring.
Tell ALL OF US.
Or STFU.
It really boggles the the mind that you folks hold more contempt for Romney than Obama, even after what you've witnessed the Marxist do to our nation. Equally nauseating is the fact that you can make post after post without even mentioning Obama.
>Goode was a Liberal Democrat congressman. <
And you don't know what the sam hill you're talking about. Why don't you go post about Texans, you sure as fire don't know squat about Virginian Virgil Goode.
That's good....very good....but it's missing something....
We mustn't forget my old "pal" Ron Paul......
I've said many times I will vote to fire Obama by pulling the lever for Romney, the only alternative.
Well, Goode was elected as a Democrat and served two terms as a Democrat before turning independent and finally running as a Republican. Sounds to me like a pragmatist, better known as an opportunist.
This thread is about Goode's collecting his signatures for appearance on the Virginia ballot.
I would recommend that you hold your liberal candidate's feet to the fire so he stops with the foolish dash to the left. Otherwise he'll lose more conservatives than just me.
I have this theory that Romney, a radical liberal, was run in order to discourage conservatives and re-elect Obama.
In other words, insider Romney supporters are actually Obama supporters.
So since you want another 4 years of Obama (actually the rest of our lives since once his policies are fully entrenched they would be virtually impossible to get rid of them) - what does that make you?
There's no logic in this. Romney is a placeholder. There is a 0% chance Obama getting re-elected will result in Obamacare being repealed and a whole host of other policies being halted that are merely being put, but you'd rather take a sure bet on damaging / ruining the country vs. not fully trusting Romney to not do the same things?
Yeah Virgil Goode is a rock rib Reagan conservative, that's why he got on the ballot with leftists' help in an effort to return communist Obama to the White House.
Virgil Goode is rat piss.
"Conservative" my ass. Goode is a phony.
Virgil Goode did what Gingrich, Santorum, and Perry were unable to do. He figured out how to get on the ballot in Virginia.
How do you do it?
You team up with the competition to gather signatures.
Pretty creative, I think.
BTW, Perry, Gingrich, and Santorum considered Virginia's system unconstitutional and took it to court.
In short, Goode beat a rigged system.
They didn't shove him down our throat...our voters chose him fair and square. It's not the choice I made, but it is a choice the majority of conservative voters made on the whole and it certainly was not within him facing major obstacles along the way...he did not just get it by default. These choices were made simultaneously while the same voters overwhelmingly tossed long entrenched establishment figures in other races. Your comments time and time again simply defy logic, truth, and common sense. Why do you continue to post arguments and rationale you have to know are not true?
Like Romney?
Hardly. He was chosen by only a third of the voters, at best, and they included crossovers and democrats bored because Obama was running unopposed.
He had a totally complicity media to include Fox News, the only conservative outlet. (And don't tell me otherwise...I know bias when I see it.)
He also buried his opponents with lies about their records due to a huge money advantage over them.
So, Romney has no more legitimacy as the nominee than I do.

Carving pumpkins the normal way is a lot of work, even if it is a lot of fun. Fortunately, a science teacher named Mr. Bergmann showed his chemistry class a much more fun, much quicker way to carve a pumpkin. The key, boys and girls, is science. The best way to carve a pumpkin is via explosion.
How does it work? I don't know. One thing I can tell you for sure is that you do NOT want to try this at home, unless you're a chemistry teacher. Apparently, this teacher has a whole YouTube channel where he performs cool science stunts, so if you liked that, you'll want to visit CBergmann12's YouTube homepage. Also, you may want to wear eye protection, just in case the science gets too awesome for your brain to handle and it makes your eyes blow out.

For the fourth consecutive year, Evergreen Fine Art Gallery will host a group of 56 of the country's most celebrated Western artists. The Weekend in the West Art Show and Auction is an invitational event that welcomes painters and sculptors from across the Mountain West, giving art-lovers a rare opportunity to watch those talents at work and take home a masterpiece created before their eyes.
Buffalo Bill was in Evergreen on June 11 to tell his story — dressed to the teeth in a light-tan buckskin jacket with fringe, knee-high black boots, a trimmed goatee and a cowboy hat.
Was it really THE Buffalo Bill Cody of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show fame of the late 1800s?
Of course not.
It was truly the "Year of the Horse."
Saturday's Evergreen Rodeo Parade featured sawhorses on wheels made up to look like the real thing, and genuine equines that left behind plenty of all-too-real evidence of their attendance.
For John Steinle, director of the Hiwan Homestead Museum, the hobby horses presented their own challenges.

Bear Creek Dippers - Forest Hawks
Conifer High School senior Kooper Hackmann has been on a running kick lately.
Former Inter-Canyon fire chief David MacBean blames a lack of oversight and his own personal problems for stealing $647,000 from the district.
In an exclusive interview with the Courier, MacBean, who pleaded guilty in April to two counts of theft and one of embezzlement, also said the nominal stipend he received as chief led him to resent the job, and to use the district credit card "to surround myself with stuff."
He faces up to 27 years in prison at sentencing on June 24.
Kai Bianco is being called a "miracle baby" by Evergreen Fire/Rescue paramedics and Flight for Life personnel.
Kai, who turned 1 on Saturday, was bitten in the head by the family dog on March 4. Not only did he survive, but according to his parents, he's back to doing everything he was doing before the accident: pulling himself up to standing, babbling like babies do, and feeding himself.
Colorado Civil Air Patrol cadets in military uniforms and bright yellow vests were seen on Highway 73 on Saturday, searching for a hiker reported missing near Cub Creek Park in Evergreen.
Fortunately, the search-and-rescue effort was just a ground training exercise for some CAP members and cadets. The nonprofit group includes an Evergreen squadron and several teenage cadets.
The cloudy skies parted Saturday long enough for the first patriotic Field of Honor ceremony to take place at the Evergreen Elks Lodge.
Elks Lodge 2363, with the assistance of Evergreen's American Legion Post 2001, dedicated 60 flags honoring servicemen and women as a precursor to Memorial Day. The flags, which can be seen from Fireweed Drive, will be flown until June 8.

Our opinion: Public officers who betray the public trust should lose their pensions, but a law that supposedly does that exempts most current employees and lawmakers. That needs to change.
Public employees and elected officials who commit a felony risk losing their pensions — excepting, that is, most of the public employees and elected officials on the state's payroll today.
Moreover, the law passed by the Legislature two years ago and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo doesn't cover every felony a public official might commit in office; it covers just three possible scenarios.
Now why is that, do you think? Could it be that the people who wrote and enacted this law made sure to give themselves and their colleagues a pass?
The law, for example, doesn't affect state Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, who stands accused in an alleged scheme to bribe his way onto the Republican line in the New York City mayor's race, or Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, D-Bronx, who's charged with taking money in exchange for trying to arrange legislation that would have protected the operators of a day care operation from competition. Mr. Smith was elected in 2000, Mr. Stevenson in 2008.
For that matter, no legislator who voted for the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011 is subject to the provision that could cost them their public pensions if they ever commit a crime in office. The law applies only to people who entered the state pension system after Nov. 13 that year, and only to acts committed after that date.
The act's intent — or so we were all told — was to help clean up the culture of corruption in New York government and politics. The aim of the pension provision was to create a potential punishment so costly and long lasting that even the most corrupt public officials would think twice before selling out for quick financial gain.
The stated reason for this huge exemption was that the state constitution prevents public pensions from being diminished. Even, yes, for those who betray the public trust.
Well then, why not change the constitution, as a bill by Sen. Liz Krueger, D-Manhattan, would do? Why not carve out an exemption that's in the public's interest rather than the Legislature's?
It's hard to imagine that voters, who must approve such a change, would reject the idea. The real trick is getting two successive legislatures to have enough integrity to pass it so that a public referendum can be held.
Lawmakers could also take a cue from state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli — a former assemblyman himself — who says the current law needs toughening. He'd make more acts of official misconduct felonies so that they'd be covered by the law, and create a new crime of "abuse of public trust" that would carry enhanced penalties.
A legislature that's as shamed as this one has been by the seemingly endless corruption in its ranks doesn't instill public confidence with loophole ridden "ethics" laws. But with a few truly sincere reforms like these, it might begin to restore citizens' trust.
