everybody hates when the vending machine steals their money, but most people don’t retaliate with fire. Debra Johnson was so angry about losing her hard-earned cash in a 7-Up machine outside of a Piggly Wiggly store in North Carolina, that she decided to show it just how hot she felt. Johnson allegedly lit a newspaper on fire and stuffed it into the machine, and was caught doing so on surveillance video. She’s not ashamed of what she’s done, either. Local television station KLTV-TV reported that at her preliminary court hearing the 43-year-old said, “I’ll represent myself, ’cause I’m guilty.... I don’t need a lawyer to lie for me, cause I’mma tell you I done it.” Well, she lost points with us for setting a newspaper on fire (that is our livelihood), but at least she’s all for honesty…
If you have unruly children, you may want to start putting them to bed earlier. A new study suggests that just 27 minutes of extra sleep can have an impact on kids’ behavior. Researchers took 34 children between the ages of 7 and 10 who had no prior sleep, behavior, academic or health
issues and slept an average of nine hours nightly. Then for five nights they moved half of their bedtimes up an hour and the others back an hour. The children were monitored and the ones who had the earlier bedtime got
an average of 27.36 more minutes of sleep a night while the second group got 54.04 less minutes of sleep on average. The students’ teachers were asked to record the children’s behavior, and they reported that the kids who slept more were better behaved and more alert. The study
will be published in the November 2012 issue of Pediatrics…
a south african nursery school teacher may be looking at a time out for herself after she stuffed all 19 of her students into her tiny hatchback for a school trip. Melanie Minnie was taking the kids to a local burger place when a photographer took a snapshot of the crammed Renault Clio. Minnie allegedly had three kids in the front seat, six in the hatch and 10 more in the back. The police finally came after someone noticed her unloading the kids at a shopping center. According to reports, Minnie was “startled” when she was pulled over, and stated that it was the first and last outing that she planned to take the kids on…
The county board of elections in Utica, ny, fails the election day spelling bee. Sample ballots from the Oneida County Board of Elections had Barack Obama’s name spelled as “Barak.” Local newspaper the Utica Observer-Dispatch spotted the error on the board’s website, and Election Commissioner Pamela Mandryck said the templates sent to a printer would be retrieved and corrected in time for Election Day…

Letters to the PressThe following are some reader comments posted on our website. Join the conversation at LongIslandPress.com.
sToP dUMPIng rePTILesThe schmucks letting their pet alli-
gators and now snakes go free should be left to die in the outside world just like they dumped their pets [“Boa Con-strictor Found in Mastic,” Oct. 10]. Horrible! I feel bad for the animals, since they can’t tell their owners that they are stupid for leaving them.
Stephanie Laukaitis
LeT CoPs do TheIr JobsThis is tragic, but yes, they
found the body in the same yard where, according to earlier stories, the neighbors were all complaining about the digging effort and basically saying that “the cops should leave these poor people alone, they’ve never seen a little child there, they must have the wrong house” [“Child’s Body Found in Farm-ingdale Yard,” Oct. 6]. These people need to go back to their re-runs of CSI and let the cops do their job. They know what they’re doing, as is evidenced by this awful find.
George Murphy
KaTe Is greaTWhat they are doing is terrible
[“Topless Kate Pics Published in Ireland, Italy Next,” Sept. 15]. The
duchess thought she was secure and private. She was stalked and photo-graphed from far away with a high power lens. She was not out in public topless. I feel so sorry for her. She seems like such a nice girl. Shame on whoever took those pictures.
Florence Redmond-Jackson
save Money, geT FaTI’m sure its the soda that’s making
people fat [“NYC Bans Big, Sugary Drinks at Eateries, Theaters,” Sept. 13]. Couldn’t be the triple cheeseburg-ers or the cheap dollar items at fast food restaurants. If you look at it my way, it’s cheaper to be fat; it’s expensive to be thin. Look at food prices. You go to a store and find $1 bag of chips. Then you see the healthy bag of chips and it’s $4. If people made it cheaper to be thinner, it might sway people to buy better items for themselves.
Diane Poole
sUgar overreaCTIon It’s just a limit on the size of con-
tainers to help encourage healthier choices [“NYC Bans Big, Sugary Drinks at Eateries, Theaters,” Sept. 13]. Same goes for requiring calorie counts on menus. The government isn’t telling anybody what they can or cannot drink or eat. Get over yourselves.

The JerK who shoT an arrow ThroUgh The neCK oF a Long IsLand dUCK
Why a duck? Why shoot an arrow through the throat of a tame, trusting Pekin—a bird that does not fly and has no reason to fear humans? But last weekend some sick person did the indefensible and wounded a hapless Long Island duck in North Patchogue. And now the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is offering a $1,000 reward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of this asshole archer. This was no wild mallard. It was somebody’s poor pet that became somebody else’s evil target practice. Fortunately, this duck’s luck did not run out; It was saved by a resident on Poe Place who often feeds the ducks in that part of town, and it was taken to the Save the Animals Rescue Foundation in the nick of time, where it is presumably quacking comfortably at the Middle Island wildlife rehab—although with a pierced esophagus, it will never sound the same. Perhaps when the perpetrator of this dastardly act is finally facing a judge’s grilling, this shooter will bow to justice and get jabbed in the neck with the wrong end of a gavel. Or be figuratively defeathered. Duck shooter… You’re fired!

B-liSTB-Day aMber “been There, done ThaT” rose oct. 21, 1983 Amber Rose, a Libra, is a model, recording artist, actress and socialite—at least that’s what her Wikipedia page says. We all know her for being romantically connected with Kanye West, Reggie Bush, Fabolous and currently, Wiz Khalifa; her bleached-blond head fuzz; leaked nude pictures; and becoming a stripper at the age of 15. Librans are known for having starry eyes that voraciously seek out their Prince or Princess Charming. Rose has had both. Before she met Kanye West, she had two long-term relationships with women. Because of their love for love, Librans tend to be blind in matters of the heart, which explains why diamond-toothed egomaniac Kanye West, of all people, was the man who got Rose to switch to the other team—and why a tattooed gremlin is the one who kept her there.
TheBook An Unbroken bondby edie lutnicKOn Sept. 11, 2001, 658 men and women who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center were trapped together in their offices during the terrorist attacks. None of them made it out alive. This book is about what happens in the aftermath. One of those who died that day was Long Islander Edie Lutnick’s brother Gary. In An Unbroken Bond, Lutnick tells the story of the 9/11 victims, how she lost her brother and how all the Cantor families bonded over the tragic events of that day. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Lutnick and her other brother, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, teamed up to create a fund for the firm’s families and in the process faced many obstacles and roadblocks, from political jockeying to class biases. In the book Lutnick says, “We are broken. We will never be the same. But we have persevered through the unfathomable obstacles, and we are still here with our shared humanity intact.” Lutnick shares the powerful story of this unbroken bond as the Cantor families battle the system in order to honor their loved ones. —Daphne Livingston

It has been said that death and taxes are the two irrefutable realities of our existence. By declaring the act that seeks to prolong death for every American to be a tax, the U.S. Supreme Court has neatly fused them together, making the debate surround-ing Obamacare an inescapable reality unto itself.
My election series of columns has thus far made clear arguments in favor of re-electing Barack Obama with respect to the stimulus, deregulation, foreign policy and appointing justices to the Court, with Obama winning three of the four topics convincingly and a split decision on Wall Street regu-lation. When it comes to healthcare, I must admit that I am struggling a bit. Perhaps you can help.
Intellectually, I am a fan of a single-payer healthcare system. In America, this would essentially mean Medicare for all, with no option for private health insurance. The administra-tive cost and paperwork associated with patient care would be a fraction of what they are today and with the advent of electronic medical records an argument can be made that there are significant efficien-cies to come. Practically, however, this is essentially the Canadian system and it is far from perfect.
My family is originally from Canada and most of my relatives still live there. While there is no question that general care is indeed more afford-able, available and efficient, critical care is a problem. My aunt died prematurely due to the ridiculous lengths she had to go through to receive a proper and thorough diagnosis. But this painful anecdote belies statistics that suggest the mortality rate from disease in the US and Canada is nearly identical.
Doctors in the United States are compensated much higher than doctors in Canada; but this applies mostly to specialists and not general practitio-ners. Therefore, in Canada there are far more general practitioners per capita than in the United States. Perhaps this implies that although critical care is less available, greater access to pre-ventive care mitigates the severity and incidence of diseases that require critical care. Frankly, I don’t know. But I do know, just looking at Long Island for example, that we have universal
healthcare because the emergency room at Nassau University Medical Center is just about the busiest place on the Island. This is why I am in favor of an attempt to cover every individual in the United States and, for the most part, a
proponent of the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.”
When I began working for my father 18 years ago, we covered 100 percent of healthcare costs for our employees. Now, we can only afford to cover half. Moreover, this “half ” is far more expensive than the entire amount was almost two decades ago even on an adjusted basis. It’s why I find it insulting when people suggest that Obamacare is crushing small businesses already. The fact is, Obamacare hasn’t been fully implemented yet, but this is the first year that two very significant things happened to our business:
1) We were reim-bursed several thousand dollars by our insurance company because they had failed to meet the minimum standards under Obamacare for the amount of money that must be allocated to actual care, and not administrative costs.
2) This is the first year the insurance company didn’t attempt to raise our premiums by double-digits.
So, as a small business owner, I have already benefitted from a plan
that hasn’t even been fully imple-mented. Moreover, it puts my business on a level playing field with other small businesses I know that skirt the rules by paying their people as independent contractors simply to avoid offering them health insurance.
There are other great parts of this legislation such as extending dependent care, outlawing the practice of declining coverage for anyone with a pre-existing condition, closing the Medicare “donut” hole for seniors, mandating electronic records, and
identifying best practices across the nation. But I have heard time and again that Obamacare will ultimately result in a massive decrease in reimburse-ments for physicians— forcing them to see more patients to sustain current income levels—thus jeopardizing the quality of care.
This is a practical sentiment that I can sympathize with, but many of my friends who are physicians have been complaining about this for years. This isn’t an “Obamacare” phenomenon; this
is a “healthcare-as-it-currently-is” phenom-enon. And while I agree that adding millions of additional people to the insurance pool is
beneficial for insurance companies and detrimental to the earning potential of physicians, access to preventive care and wellness visits is undoubtedly a positive step for America. I’m hoping my physician friends weigh in on this to express their viewpoints because I know many of them are tired of being
businesspeople and accountants and simply want to get back to caring for patients and growing as doctors.
The politics surrounding Obamacare have drowned out any and all reasonable debate surround-ing this issue. The mere fact that the GOP vehemently opposes this plan that was originally crafted by a conser-vative think tank, touted by Republi-can legislators and actually adopted fully by a Republican governor now running for president should indicate how toxic our politics are. On myriad levels, Obamacare is a good plan, and ultimately I am in favor of seeing it fully implemented. But if we eliminate emotion and politics, it’s fair to say Obamacare is only half of what is required.
The real drivers of cost in the system are the high-cost liability insurance, rampant pharmaceutical dependence encouraged by advertis-
ing that is unnecessary and unethical, an overly-litigious culture that forces physicians to order unnecessary tests simply to thwart potential claims, paying doctors and hospitals per procedure instead of paying for the care the patient requires, and the
extraordinary cost of end-of-life care. If over the next decade, Obamacare is married with serious attempts to tackle these issues, then it has a shot at not just succeeding but being a model system. If not, it will likely lumber along as a quasi-failure but no worse than had we done nothing at all.

And yes, in the vice presidential debate Joe Biden acted like my former wife Barbara’s Uncle Johnny at a wedding, after Uncle Johnny had chug-a-lugged God knows how many glasses of wine and was totally out of control.
Drunken Uncle Johnny would be laughing like a maniac … pushing young girls aside when he was trying to catch the bride’s garter … grabbing the band’s microphone and insisting on singing “Come Back to Sorrento” in Italian—off-key … and basically making no sense.
Uncle Johnny and Joe Biden, separated at birth.
But when you listened to the “unbiased” television commentators and read the liberal-leaning newspapers the day after the Biden-Ryan debate, they all gleefully reported that Biden, with his boorish behavior, had “re-energized” the Democratic Party.
Democrats felt that Biden’s acting like an ass was fine. It gave them an excuse to vote for Obama.
Now it starts. From this point forward Democrats will revert to being Democrats and you’ll hear how well Obama did in the second debate. Here’s the headline: “Energized Obama Easily Wins the Debate Over What’s-His-Name.”
Now we start to slide. Democrats will go into second gear, and we will have four more years of Obama.
The economy? Jobs? Dead! Forget about it. Democrats don’t care, they’re voting for Obama. Israel? Forget it, it’s gone. Democrats don’t care, they’re voting for Obama. The Middle East? Forget it, it’s gone. Democrats don’t care, they’re voting for Obama. Iran? They have the bomb. Forget it.
Democrats don’t care, they’re voting for Obama.
Watch this country turn into California. Is that bad?
Let me put it this way: Democrats in California will vote for Jerry Sandusky if he runs as a Democrat. How do I know this? Look to the state of California and you’ll see how many
intelligent Democrats ignore reality. California has 10.6 percent
unemployment. Jerry Brown, a liberal’s liberal, is looking to hike taxes on Californians making more than $250,000 a year, to bring their tax rate up to 13.3 percent. This is the kind of thinking that has already caused the cities of Stockton, San Bernardino and Mammoth Lakes to go broke.
Californians still will overwhelm-ingly vote for Obama.
The number of homeless in San Francisco has turned this beautiful city into a dingy, sad place. San Francisco is the city that keeps electing that train wreck, Nancy Pelosi, who jammed ObamaCare down our throats.
San Francisco still will over-whelmingly vote for Obama.
Look at the disaster of California and you’ll see what will happen to the United States in the next four years.
An article by Troy Senik for CFIF titled “California: First in Liberalism, Last in Everything Else,” tells how “Every year, CEO Magazine—a publication targeted at the nation’s captains of industry—ranks the 50 states based on how friendly their respective economic climates are for business. In 2012—for the eighth straight year—California finished dead last.
“‘Perhaps no other state more clearly illustrates the direct impact of excessive litigation on job creation and the ability of businesses to survive and thrive.’ As a result of these and other factors, the state’s unemployment rate is 10.7 percent, third highest in the nation.”
California does lead in something. The state has the highest number of public employees in the country.
California and the United States, separated at birth.
By 2016, the United States will be Greece or Spain. So Obama and his fellow Democrats will once again need to fire up Democrats to mindlessly vote again. If the country is in as bad a place as I believe it will be, Democrats will search for someone to blame.
Who’s to blame? May I suggest they look at that
old cartoon strip “Pogo,” where one of my favorites was the character in the swamp who said, “We have met the enemy and they is us.”

They didn’t strip down to leotards and tights, but as President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney circled each other at the town hall debate Oct. 16, they looked like they were about to turn Hofstra’s basketball arena into a professional wrestling match—with CNN moderator Candy Crowley as the hapless referee futilely trying to muscle her way in between them before they tore each other apart.
Crowley held her own—though some conservative commentators may have thought otherwise—and the two presidential contenders managed to avoid an outright smack down, in turn treating the millions of Americans tuning in to one of the most intense political confrontations since 1980 when President Jimmy Carter and Gov. Ronald Reagan went toe to toe before a national audience.
When the 90-plus minutes expired, Obama and Romney were both on their feet, though the former Massachusetts governor seemed to be walking a bit stiffly and the current occupant of the White House was smiling more broadly. Indeed, he was still shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for pho-tographs long after his Republican chal-lenger had left the ring.
Democrats on hand in the media center next to
the debate venue were ecstatic—they had reason to be, because instant polls declared Obama the victor soon there-after— the Republicans who made the rounds in the spin zone were rather testy.
“I think the moderator did a lousy job,” said John Sununu, the former New Hampshire governor and Romney advisor, who wasn’t
pleased that Crowley had called out his candidate for inaccurately claiming that the president waited two weeks before calling the death of the American ambassador in Libya an “act of terror.” Sununu told the Press that he thought “Jim Lehrer was fine” in the first debate in Denver—certainly a view not held by Democrats, who
wished he’d been more aggressive in correcting misstatements—particu-larly those made by Romney.
“Candy was right,” said Robert Gibbs, senior advisor to the Obama campaign, adding that Romney had been “extraordinarily wrong” and “looked like an amateur” in handling foreign affairs.
PoliTiCS anD ProTeSTfrom a man with a long white beard wearing half
a dozen neckties and a boot on his head to a woman dressed in a polar bear costume railing about global warming, the 2012 presidential debate at hofstra uni-versity injected much more into the national dialogue than just the issues tackled by president barack obama and gov. mitt romney inside the school’s exhibition complex.
throughout the campus, students participated in myriad events, activities and panels designed not only to continue those discussions, but introduce several topics, ranging from critical policy issues and civil liberties to human rights, student debt and health care. an “issue alley” presented a forum for students
to learn and question together, thus informing impressionable minds while expanding
their knowledge and imagination.outside along hempstead
turnpike, hundreds of people took to the streets, carrying signs, shouting slogans, chanting messages and marching in support of a litany of charged topics from hydrofracking and abortion to israel, wall street and the perils of war.
here are but a few snapshots from this historic long island
showdown and the public’s response:
BarreDafter crossing hempstead turnpike with about a half-dozen
supporters and reporters in tow recording every step, green party presidential nominee jill stein and vice presidential running mate cheri honkala stood at the western corner of the entrance to hofstra university and unfurled an american flag. “cheri and i are here on behalf of the american people,” said stein. “we are here at the barred gates of american debates to say that we need to open up this debate and make it a full, fair and inclusive debate.” “it shouldn’t just be whether or not you have billions of dollars that determine whether or not the american people can hear about your platform,” said honkala. “the commission on presidential debates makes a mockery of democracy by conduct-ing this fake and contrived debate,” continued stein, describing the process as a “hijacking of our political system.” “do you have credentials?” asked Karen o’callaghan, director of hofstra’s public safety team, as the women approached the school’s main entrance and attempted to walk past security. “this is a private university.” wrapping the flag around themselves and locking arms, the two stood about halfway up the driveway, nudging themselves up against a wall of about a half-dozen nassau county and state police. “we’re here to stand ground for the american people who have been systematically locked out of these debates for decades by the commission on presidential debates,” said stein. “let us into the debates,” she told them before sitting down on the ground with honkala. that prompted a nassau county police officer to inform them they were impeding traffic and subject to arrest. they didn’t budge until police led them away, arrested for disorderly conduct, according to police. including stein and honkala, there were only three arrests related to the debate, they said.

In the Hofstra debate—the school’s second, its first being in 2008 between then-Sen. Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain—the exchange over whether Obama had misspoke about the deaths of the four Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11 was clearly the most heated. For more than a month Romney and his backers had tried to use the tragic killings as a wedge issue because the president has consistently outpolled the governor in regards to international affairs—such as his making good on his vow to hunt down Osama bin Laden—and they seem to believe that criticizing any aspect of Obama’s Mideast policy would do the trick. The president took umbrage.
“The suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the Secretary of State, our UN Ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, governor, is offensive,” said Obama.
Whether Obama’s retort will stop the momentum Romney had report-edly gained from his superior perfor-mance in their first match-up remains to be seen. Romney won that one hands down because, as both critics and supporters said, the president “never showed up.” This time around he came out swinging.
At Hofstra, Crowley told Romney that Obama had “in fact” called it “an act of terror” when he spoke in the Rose Garden, prompting the president to proclaim, “Can you say that a little louder, Candy?” That remark drew some applause from the audience inside the hall, who had been warned to keep their reactions to themselves until the debate was over.
At another point, Romney stood a few feet apart from the president and clenched his mic in his hand like a billy club as Obama tore into his “five point plan” as “such a sketchy deal…that voters shouldn’t buy into his sales

pitch” that he could simultaneously cut taxes and raise defense spending without adding to the deficit. Crowley asked Romney if the numbers in his economic proposal added up.
“Of course it adds up!” he said indignantly, mentioning that he’s run the Olympics and the state of Massa-chusetts while Obama has doubled the nation’s debt during his term in office. “I know what it takes to balance the budget.”
In the spin room afterwards, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) discounted Romney’s assertion that he’d left the Bay State in such great shape.
“We know him better than anybody in America,” says Kerry, who lost his own bid for president in 2004. “He can’t even contest Massachusetts in this campaign. It’s unheard of that a former governor running for president can’t even carry his own state. And why? Because he lost 45,000 manufacturing jobs—twice the national average—because he left the incoming governor with a billion-dollar deficit, because the debt of our citizens became the highest per capita debt in the nation, because he outsourced jobs to India, because he raised spending in the state and the deficit went up. This is a man who talks about one thing one day, another, another. I don’t believe the American people can trust him and I think that’s what this debate showed.”

ChanCe oF a liFeTiMeKatie fenton, an undecided voter who was one
of the 10 audience members whose questions were chosen by cnn’s debate moderator candy crowley, tells the Press her experience was “absolutely surreal.” “we were a legitimate, integral part of the democratic process and as a young woman that felt very empower-ing and extraordinary,” she says, adding that she’s undecided no longer after witnessing the candidates in action. “i truly believe it was a close race, though i would have to concede that president obama took it.”

a middle-aged man wearing jeans and converse sneakers stood at the corner of california avenue and hempstead turnpike with two signs and yelled about abortion for hours on end. his first sign showed a bloody, dead fetus, while the second read “jesus loves all babies” on one side and “support romney” on the other. terri scofield of occupy mastic-shirley, carrying a “prosecute the banksters” sign, walked straight up to him and demanded: “show me your uterus!” “just because you have a uterus, doesn’t mean you can kill a baby girl with a uterus,” he blasted. “either you get a uterus or you go to hell!” she screamed in his face. “repent your foul soul,” he responded. another protester asked him: “what about when drones kill babies?” the man paused, stammered and finally stated: “but that’s an accident. abortion is murder!” later, a parade of about 150 planned parenthood supporters, carrying signs reading “don’t take away my breast exams,” among others, marched past in pink shirts chanting, “our bodies, our lives.” “what about the baby’s body?” the man yelled frantically, trying to dodge in between them. “it’s time to take women’s reproductive health out of the political arena and into the healthcare arena where it belongs,” planned parenthood advocates of new york president m. tracey brooks said. “it is not a political football.” planned parenthood nassau county action fund president and ceo joann d. smith stressed a woman’s access to contraception also had a significant impact on women’s economic situation, saying: “when women receive a full range of healthcare, they flourish, their family flourishes and their community flourishes.” the man continued his rants long after the women had gone, sometimes sparking shouting matches between him and a group of anti-drone strike protesters who were rallying on the same corner.
During the debate, responding to a question about equal pay, Romney touted his hiring record in Massachu-setts, saying he had “whole binders full of women” to choose from.
Kerry told the Press he agreed that Romney had “hired some women in the cabinet,” but said the Republican’s relations with the state legislature “were very bad… Most of the legislators there will tell you he was aloof and distant. He carved out his own elevator in the [State House] and had state police guard it so only he could use it!”
Asked why Romney couldn’t win there, Sununu told the Press “that’s about the most stupid question I have ever heard, because Massachusetts only has 13 percent registered Repub-licans and in a presidential race the Democrats are going to go out and vote [their] party.”
Before the debate some national polls showed that Romney had edged over the president in recent days, and narrowed Obama’s margin significantly in the swing states.
“All these bounces are political Viagra!” exclaimed Robert Zimmerman, a prominent Long Island businessman who’s a member of the Democratic National Committee. “By that I mean, the bounces are short-lived, artificial and if they last more than four days, get a new pollster! That being said, this is

an incredibly close race, and that’s why the Hofstra debate is so critical because it provides a chance for these candi-dates to define who they are and what issues they stand for in front of a very scrutinizing audience of non-commit-ted voters.
“Suburbanites are the swing voting bloc in America,” Zimmerman added, “and New York suburbanites are subur-banites with an attitude!”
Here on Long Island, the idea that the Gallup polling organization could find 80 Nassau residents who hadn’t made up their mind about the election struck some as incredulous.
“I have a lot of friends who wonder how on Earth anybody at this point could be undecided but Gallup found them,” Gibbs told the Press. “I think they had good questions, and quite frankly I think they represent millions of people that have the same questions.”
“Suburbs are going to decide this election like they did the last six,” said Lawrence Levy, dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra. “We know how the cities are going to go, we know how the rural red areas are going to go. It’s the suburbs that go back and forth between parties that are going to decide this thing. But not every suburb. It’s the ones in the six to eight states that are really still in play… It is fitting that this pivotal debate is in
oCCuPy long iSlanD“it’s not that people are irresponsible, lazy or stupid,”
said occupy shirley mastic’s scofield as she plopped onto the sidewalk and lit a cigarette—representing just one of several occupy contingencies that descended upon the debate, among them ronkonkoma’s occupy store-front, occupy the east end and two buses from occupy wall street in new york city. “it’s just that they’re too stressed and busy to pay attention.” scofield dismissed the oft-repeated notion from mainstream media that the movement’s power had waned since their eviction from zuccotti park: “occupy is very much alive,” she said. “we’re doing the dirty work of organizing our communities at a grassroots level. it’s a long, slow process.”
yiPPie Pie Man left-wing activist aron Kay, known as the pie
man for his pie-in-the-face attacks on everyone from former cia director william colby to former ny mayor abe beame, was in a wheelchair on the corner of california and hempstead turnpike and was yelling, “obama! romney! same old bologna! plenty of bologna inside at hofstra. white wonder bread with bologna inside!” through a megaphone held by another man wearing a tricorner hat. a woman with a heavy caribbean accent and a bright red fro-hawk paced back and forth with a white “obama” flag shouting, “obama set me free!” nearby a dozen anti-zionist rabbis in the background cried, “down, state of israel!”
a lone rubber boot rose above the glom of protestors, sitting plumly on the head of 2012 democratic presidential candidate—jimmy mcmillan’s running mate—vermin supreme. with a long white beard, at least six un-matching ties around his neck and sporting what can only be called a pimp coat, he appeared as a wizard of sorts. the self-proclaimed perfor-mance artist, anarchist and activist promised the american people that if elected president, he would pass a law requiring teeth brushing, put in place a zombie-based energy plan and give a free pony to all americans. “why a boot?” asked the Press. “the boot stands for all the american people—and italy.”

America’s first suburb, but it’s ironic that nobody within a hundred miles of here is going to cast a vote that’s going to affect the outcome of the presiden-tial campaign.”
How the debate will affect Long Island is hard to measure.
New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, a Long Island Democrat, said its price tag—Hofstra reportedly spent $4.5 million to host the historic event according to The New York Times but was helped substantially by support from alumnus and Board of Trustees member David S. Mack; police overtime will cost possibly up to $800,000, though Nassau County
Executive Ed Mangano tells the Press he’s “very optimistic” grant funds will help offset that—could result in dividends of value for taxpayers down the road.
“The marketing value of putting Hempstead, Nassau County, Long Island and Hofstra on the map—you’re going to get dividends over time moving forward that will probably be
hard to quantify,” DiNapoli said, “but I think are real and tangible and well worth the investment…”
Democrats even coined a new phrase that may forever ingrain the university in the annals of presidential debate history: “the Hofstra Barack Obama!”
“Long Island is swing-vote America,” enthused Sen. Charles Schumer, New York’s senior Demo-cratic senator. “The questions were great!
“Whatever ground the president lost in the first debate, he more than made up for it here,” he added. “This is the Barack Obama that the American people wanted to see.”
“Romney did okay,” admits Jon Cooper, the former Democratic Suffolk legislator and a long-time Obama supporter, even in the 2008 primary when most New York Democrats were behind then-Sen. Hillary Clinton. “He probably did almost as good as he did the first time. The difference is that Obama was back. He was in the room this time! He knocked it out of the park!”
And he helped put the university permanently on the map.

you gotta have ballshow dId a KId From brooKlyn wIth so lIttle end up wIth so much?by brandon steIner
The founder and chairman of Steiner Sports Marketing took his mother’s advice and created a memo-rabilia empire that led to the purchase of his favorite childhood location, old Yankee Stadium. The man who purchased sports’ greatest cathedral was always motivated by his mother’s favorite saying: “You Gotta have Balls.”
Brandon Steiner has plenty of them. He eventually got them autographed and his memorabilia empire would generate millions of dollars while delivering fond memories to people around the world. Steiner’s formula was created by his penchant to take chances in life. They would lead toward amazing connections to the entertainment industry. His strong will and desire would help him manifest extraordinary opportunities. The story of his life and how he lived it would eventually bring unprecedented success and his one-of-a-kind business to fruition. This inspi-rational book will motivate any reader to break through roadblocks in their own life that prevents a path to success. It is like having a personal mentor on your bookshelf in the form of a well-connected self-made multi-millionaire.
Most people who meet Steiner ask: “How did you get your start?” The captivating stories inside his book detail his life’s course like a roadmap. Steiner Sports Marketing was built on quality management skills learned by the author through the years. These lessons are shared with readers in a simplified format. Steiner is a student of the game; He learned it from the people in his life. As an entrepreneur, he found ways to over deliver simply by asking: “What else can I do for you?” Out of 33 “Steinerisms” featured at the end of his story, the most com-pelling is the last one: “If you use your head, you don’t have to use your feet.”
Ironically, Steiner used both his head and feet to out-hustle others. He worked hard and dreamed big. As a reader, I could not help but dream along with him. The book touches on the importance of positive connections and the expansion of influential people in our lives that can lead us on our own desired path to success. Steiner’s
connections are fun to read about and are mind-boggling, to say the least.
Readers will find it interesting to learn what professional ball player gave Steiner his first autograph and what his personal favorite piece of memorabilia is. Both answers are connected to two great captains in the New York sports market. But it was a connection to a third captain and his legendary sports franchise—one of the most famous in the world—that delivered some of his biggest breaks.
As his empire grew, so did his reputation. Steiner’s approach led to the biggest deal of his life, the chance
to purchase and eventually sell off every piece of the old Yankee Stadium. Steiner Sports Marketing earned millions of dollars selling stadium dirt and much more. Fans and readers will enjoy finding out what pieces of the old Stadium were purchased by some of the New York Yankee ballplayers. They will also be treated to a great story about how Steiner himself caught an eager baseball fan stealing “his” third base just minutes after the last out of the Stadium’s final game.
This boy from Brooklyn, who started with little in life, became the man who would eventually purchase the actual stadium that he grew up in. This is the house where he watched some of the game’s greatest legends play Yankee baseball. All it took was confidence, a plan, and some auto-graphed balls. You Gotta have Balls is an inspiring read and an inside look into the world of sports marketing. You will learn from this story that “a big part of who you are is who raised you and where you grew up.”
Whether you are a sports fan, entrepreneur or even a dreamer, Steiner’s life story will motivate you to believe that you can achieve anything you can imagine. —Felice Cantatore

beLLPorT weLCoMes new sChooL MasCoTby adele ratje-mundell the cLIPPer, bellport high school
Bellport High School’s mascot is the Clipper, named after the ship Christopher Columbus once guided towards Bellport Village.
This mascot is quite unconventional for a high school; Most are “The Eagles,” “The Tigers,” “The Bulldogs,” or some other fierce, pugnacious animal depicted with protuberant muscles. Often this is done as a sign of intimidation and
to imply that high school athletes are invincible.
Because of this, the high school has decided to change the mascot from the inanimate Clipper ship, to a living creature that it believes to be a more suitable representation of high school athletes: narwhals.
The school will embrace its new mascot as the “Bellport High School Narwhals” shortly, after the state Division of Alleged Mythical Creatures approves the selection.
For those of you who are unsure of what a narwhal is, it is a whale with a horn protruding from its left jaw; essentially, a
narwhal is a unicorn of the sea. Unicorns have magical powers,
defeating their enemies with beams of love and happiness, shooting glitter and sparkles into the air upon victory. Because narwhals are so similar to unicorns, they follow suit.
The high school chose the narwhal as the new mascot because it believes the school’s athletes should use it as a role model, an example of how to treat competition.
A statement regarding the new mascot can be found on the school’s website: High school athletes must learn to treat other teams with complete and utter respect. We feel that the narwhal is the epitome of these qualities, and will encourage athletes to defeat their
adversaries with their own powers of love and happiness.
Bellport High School feels these changes are imperative to at once boost the students’ understanding of marine biology and to improve their powers of love. There’s sure to be glitter sparkling in the air around Bellport!”
Having the narwhal branded upon the Bellport name should energize its teams, creating star athletes who might’ve normally turned the other way towards sports. The “Bellport High School Narwhals” will revolutionize Bellport’s athletic program and invigorate its athletes once again.
“It’s time for this ship to sail,” Varsity Math Coach Andrew Dunbar said enthu-siastically.

In all they released seven studio albums, and their sound has been compared to that of David Bowie, The Velvet Underground and The Sex Pistols. The Furs take the stage at the best buy Theater alongside punk/alter-native rockers The Lemonheads on sunday, 10.21. —Daphne Livingston

I was fortunate enough to at-tend the grand opening of the newEdenPURE® factory in North Can-ton, Ohio. The new plant broughthundreds of new jobs back to Ohioand reversed the common practiceof sending Midwest manufacturingjobs to China. Now, EdenPURE®
continues to ramp up productionfor the coming Winter with excit-ing new models and hundreds ofnew employees as this Made inAmerica success story continues togrow.
American Labor, AmericanQuality
With over 3 million portableheaters sold EdenPURE® is thebest selling portable infrared heat-ing system in North America.However, like any classic, Eden-PURE® has dozens of would-becompetitors who create Asiancopies at low prices using cheap,foreign labor. Don’t be fooled bythese imitations. Look for theEdenPURE® logo and the Made inNorth Canton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.
Save up to 49% on 2013 Eden-PURE®s
Now readers can save up to49% ($229 the largest savings everon new EdenPURE®s). Eden-PURE® is not just the best-sellingportable heating system in NorthAmerica. As an EdenPURE® own-er I rank EdenPURE® #1 for quali-ty, safety and efficiency. And nowis the perfect time to save like nev-er before on our expanded 2013EdenPURE® line made in ourbrand new North Canton, Ohio fa-cility.
With two models EdenPURE®
can meet all of your heating re-quirements 365 days a year.
Stay Comfortable 365 Days aYear
“Never be cold again” is theEdenPURE® promise. EdenPURE®
provides you insurance against thecold all year long. Stay comfort-able on those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season. Ilive in California but believe me itgets cold at night. Keep your ex-pensive furnace turned down untilit’s absolutely necessary. And ifwe are fortunate enough to experi-ence a mild winter as many of usdid in the Midwest last year, youkeep your furnace off all season
and save even bigger.New, More Efficient ModelsThe engineers at EdenPURE®
listened to their millions of cus-tomers and somehow managed toimprove the #1 portable heater inNorth America. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity the newEdenPURE® line is more efficientto save you even more money.
The EdenPURE® PersonalHeater now heats a larger area, anincrease from 350 square feet to500 square feet. That’s a 30% in-crease in efficiency! And Eden-PURE® is proud to introduce the2013 Model 750. The new Model750 is perfect for larger areas andheats up to 750 square feet. Butthe best thing about the Model 750is the price. We priced the Model750 at only $50 above the PersonalHeater. This means you receive a33% increase in performance foronly $50. That’s American engi-neering at its best!
The EdenPURE® can cut yourheating bills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and then start
putting a great deal of extra moneyin your pocket after that.
Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major cause
of residential fires in the UnitedStates is carelessness and faultyportable heaters. The choice offire and safety professional, Cap-tain Mike Hornby, the Eden-PURE® has no exposed heating el-ements that can cause a fire. And aredundant home protection systemthat simply shuts the EdenPURE®
down if it senses danger. That’swhy grandparents and parents lovethe EdenPURE®.
The outside of the EdenPURE®
only gets warm to the touch so thatit will not burn children or pets.And your pet may be just like mydog who has reserved a favoritespot near the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses infraredheat. And just as pets enjoy bask-ing in a beam of sunlight they tryto stay close to EdenPURE®’s“bone-warming” infrared heat.
The Health Secret is in theCopper
EdenFLOW™ technology usescopper heating chambers to takethe energy provided by our specialSYLVANIA infrared bulbs anddistribute our famous soft heatevenly throughout the room.
Now our copper isn’t ordinary.It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial cop-per from an over 150 year oldAmerican owned company in Penn-sylvania. So your EdenPURE®
heater is continuously pushing soft,healthy, infrared heat throughoutyour room.
