Nonprofit organizations across the country are closely watching
Maine as it considers becoming the first state to impose property taxes
on hospitals, private colleges and summer camps.

Gov. Paul LePage is mistaken in his logic.
If he can separate the other nonprofits from the churches the others will be taxed.
The separation is not possible.
If it is attempted Main will vote Democrat.

he would be happy to comply with possible additional disclosure
requirements.

Those of us who don’t have this natural bliss benefit are more likely to be anxious, and to self-medicate.

"In a broader sense, Dr. Lee’s study has important implications for
personalized medicine. Imagine you are a soldier returning from war with
PTSD. With a simple blood test looking at gene variants, we could
discover whether you were biologically adept at fear extinction, which
is essentially the basis of exposure therapy for PTSD. If you had a
mutation that reduced your ability to extinguish fear, your therapist
would know you might just need more exposure — more treatment sessions —
to recover. Or, perhaps a different therapy altogether that doesn’t
rely on exposure, like interpersonal therapy, or medication."
The work continues.

The weather pattern over the Pacific had been expected, but it is
described as so weak that it is not likely to bring much-needed rain to
California.

Rob Speyer’s company is rushing to qualify for a tax break on a
big residential complex in Queens without a key part of Mayor Bill de
Blasio’s agenda: affordable units.

The subsidy is well worth some schmoozing.

Whether the service, called Schwab Intelligent Portfolios, is
truly free — or is just intended to seem that way — is a matter of
debate.

I trust my broker and I know of another who seems trustworthy.
Ask me directly and I will pass on names and numbers.
This automated service from Schwab does not appear to fit your circumstances.

The F.D.A. ordered that labels on testosterone drugs warn of heart
attack and stroke risks, and advised that the drugs should not be
prescribed to treat symptoms in men brought on by age, such as declining
sexual drive.

Responses to an Op-Ed article, “How to Make College Cheaper.”
Tuition; Colleges and Universities; Student Loans
An education is a speculation.
The institutions should bear much of the risk.
Government as the agent of the national society should carry more of the risk.
The student is betting several years on the process.
The risk is personal. The loss should be bearable.
There are no guarantees in the process.
The present system that places all the risk on the student should end.

Mr. Henning is over interpreting the decision. Justice Scalia is wrong again.
