Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012



Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.


Shhh. The state Legislature would really prefer that no one say anything about, or even notice, the quiet drive to hike its members’ pay until it’s a done deal.
The commission that will pull the trigger on the salary increase held one “public” meeting Tuesday . . . at 11 a.m. in Albany. The next one is in Manhattan — Friday at noon at the SUNY Global Center, 116 East 55th St. Is that convenient for you?
Created this year by one of those “three men in a room” deals, the New York State Compensation Committee will announce its pay-hike recommendation early next month — and it’ll become law unless the Legislature rushes back to Albany for a special session to vote it down. (Pigs will fly first.)
The roundabout secrecy is meant to keep all fingerprints off the move, because pay hikes for lawmakers poll really badly.
That’s why the “three men” put the decision in the hands of the state and city comptrollers, Tom DiNapoli and Scott Stringer, plus two ex-comptrollers, Carl McCall and Bill Thompson — who now head the SUNY and CUNY boards. That is, four politicians who’d prefer to keep the Legislature’s goodwill. Expect a generous pay hike.
To be fair, lawmakers’ pay has been flat since a 1998 increase; it hasn’t even had a cost-of-living adjustment. Meanwhile, ethics reforms have cut down their ability to earn outside income — even perfectly ethical ones.
On the other hand, base pay starts at $79,500, which is still more than your average New Yorker makes. And legislators get a few perks, too — including per diem expenses covered whenever they’re in session.

Subject: Update from the Faustman lab



Updates from the Faustman Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital.

 Dear Friends,

This was a monumental year at the Faustman Lab.  We published long-term data on patients from the BCG clinical trial program who have been followed for at least five years.  The results were published in Nature Vaccines and presented at eh 78th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) as well as the 54th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).  The positive feedback and media coverage was overwhelming.  EASD even scheduled a press conference to announce the results.  We also published the second edition of our book, BCG, TNF and Autoimmunity, which is based on the third international conference on BCG and autoimmune diseases.  The 150 patient Phase II trial is also proceeding; all 150 patients have received at least two doses of BCG or placebo.   

BCG is a generic vaccine that holds the promise of an affordable treatment option for type 1 diabetics -- for patients of all means.  As you know, we are operating outside the traditional funding models for clinical trials because BCG is a generic drug.  All of our funding comes from private philanthropies and individuals who are impacted by the disease.  We are the open source approach to clinical trials -- a clinical trial by the people for the people.

We have a lot of work to do before we can bring BCG to market with an FDA approved indication for type 1 diabetes.  We are also actively planning and enrolling new trials including a pediatric trial and an Expanded Access IND.  Anything you can do to help us meet our fundraising goals and turn our full attention back to the research is appreciated.

Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.  Here is a link to the latest newsletter from the lab Fall 2018 Newsletter for the Faustman lab.



With Kind regards,
