Nassau County, New York

: There is also a Town of Nassau. Nassau County is a county located on Long Island in the state of New York. As of 2000, the population was 1,334,544. The name of the county comes from an old name for Long Island, which was at one time named Nassau, after William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, who later became King William III of England. The county colors, orange and blue, also are the colors of the House of Orange. Nassau County's county seat is Mineola. Nassau and Suffolk counties are generally referred to as "Long Island" (as distinct from New York City) by area residents, although the New York City boroughs of Queens and Kings County make up the island's westernmost counties. As of 2004, Nassau County is the richest county per capita in the State of New York and the sixth richest in the nation with a median household income of $78,762.

History
Nassau County was originally part of Queens County, when New York was divided into 12 counties in 1683. The area was originally contained in two towns: Hempstead and Oyster Bay. In the American Revolutionary War, the town of Hempstead was split into two, when pro-revolutionists in the northern part formed the new Town of North Hempstead, leaving royalist majorities in the Town of Hempstead. Following the 1898 formation of Greater New York, the part of Queens County that was not annexed to New York City, consisting of the two towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay and most of the town of Hempstead (excluded was the Rockaway Peninsula, which did join Greater New York), was constituted as the new Nassau County, but not until a year later in 1899. Several other names had been considered: Matinecock (note that a village in the county currently has that name), Norfolk, (presumably because of the proximity to Suffolk County), Bryant, and Sagamore, but Nassau had the historical advantage of having at one time been the name of Long Island itself. In 1910 (some sources state 1918), The Village of Glen Cove, in the Town of Oyster Bay, became a city and seceded from the Town of Oyster Bay. In 1918, the Village of Long Beach was incorporated in the Town of Hempstead. In 1922, it became a city and seceded from the Town of Hempstead. The United Nations Security Council was temporarily located in Nassau County from 1946 to 1951 -- in the village of Lake Success near the border with Queens County. It was here on June 27, 1950 that the Security Council voted to back US President Harry S. Truman and send a coalition of forces to the Korean Peninsula, thus kicking off the Korean War. During the latter part of the 20th Century, Nassau County saw an influx of migrants from the five boroughs of New York City, especially Brooklyn and Queens, who left their urban dwellings for a more suburban setting. This led to a massive boom in population in the county, especially on the south shore. In the early 1950s, William Levitt built his first planned community in Nassau County, called Island Trees (later renamed Levittown). In later decades, communities such as Wantagh, East Meadow, Massapequa, Massapequa Park and Franklin Square began to grow. By the 1980s, Nassau County became the epitome of suburban life. In the 1990s, Nassau County saw huge budget problems, forcing the county to near bankruptcy. The county government increased taxes to prevent a takeover by the state of New York. This has led to the county having notoriously high property taxes, leaving some migrants from New York City who are seeking suburban life to move to Suffolk County, Hudson Valley, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. In recent years Nassau County has recovered from its economic malaise of the 1990s. Since 2000, housing prices in Long Island have been the highest in the country. The economy has been booming and according to the United States Census Bureau, residents of Nassau County have one of the highest per capita wealth in the country. Nassau County has also experienced heavy urbanization in many areas, such as Hempstead, Mineola, and Westbury, leading some to say that some parts of the county resemble the outer boroughs of New York City rather than a suburb of it.
Law and government
The county legislature has 19 members, 10 Democrats and 9 Republicans : The head of the executive is the county executive, a post created in Nassau County in 1938. The current county executive is Democrat Thomas Suozzi who was elected in 2001, becoming the first Democratic county executive in 30 years. The District Attorney is Republican Denis Dillon, first elected in 1973. He is currently endorsed by the Republican, Conservative, Independence, Right to Life and Liberal parties. On November 8, 2005, Dillon was defeated by Democrat Kathleen Rice who will take over as district attorney at the beginning of 2006. The county comptroller is Howard Weitzman, a Democrat, the county clerk is Republican Karen Murphy, who is retiring and being replaced by Republican Maureen O'Connell, and the county assessor is Harvey Levinson, another Democrat.

Politics

Like its neighbor, Suffolk County, in U.S. Politics the county was long controlled by the Republican Party. In the 1990s, it began to swing Democratic. Democrat Bill Clinton won the county in presidential elections of 1992 and 1996. Later Nassau voters gave a large margin of victory to Al Gore in 2000 (57.9% to 38.5%) but John Kerry won in 2004 by a slimmer margin (52.2% to 46.6%). Democratic strength is mainly concentrated in the central part of the county around Hempstead and Uniondale, where there is a huge minority population. Also, the northern half ot the county, with the exception of parts of Manhasset, is heavily Democratic. This includes Great Neck, Glen Cove and Roslyn. There are also pockets of staunch Democrats in the Five Towns area in the southwest part of the county and in Long Beach. Republicans are mainly concentrated in the suburban hamlets of Garden City, Franklin Square, Levittown and Massapequa. The political volatile areas of the county are in Farmingdale, East Meadow, Mineola, Oceanside and Rockville Centre. Long Island's only Republican member of Congress, Representative Peter T. King is from Nassau County, his district includes heavily populated suburban neighborhoods like Massapequa, Levittown, Hicksville, and Glen Cove, but Nassau County is also home to the popular gun-control advocate, Democrat Carolyn McCarthy, whose district includes Garden City, Hempstead, and Rockville Centre. McCarthy defeated a Republican congressman in 1996 and has held on to her seat since. Nassau County's other two congressmen are both Democrats. Representative Gary Ackerman, represents the northwestern part of the county, including Great Neck and Port Washington. Steve Israel's district is mainly in Suffolk County, but also includes parts of Plainview, Old Bethpage, Jericho, Syosset, and Woodbury in Nassau County. All of Nassau County's (As well as Suffolk County's) state senators are Republicans, which is largely the reason the state senate is still in GOP hands.

Oligoryzomys rupestris

Oligoryzomys rupestris is een knaagdier dat bekend is van de Cerrado van Alta Paraiso (Goiás) en Pico das Almas (Bahia), op grote hoogte. De soort is genoemd naar de campo rupestre, de speciale vorm van Cerrado op grote hoogte waar hij voorkomt. Dit is een kleine Oligoryzomys-soort met een grijze kop, een geelbruine rug en een grijze buik en staart. Deze soort heeft het laagste aantal chromosomen (2n) van zijn geslacht: 46, op de verwante O. sp.2 na. Het autosomaal getal (AN) bedraagt 52. Van de twee karyotypische vormen beschreven door Silva & Yonenaga-Yassuda (1998) is er waarschijnlijk één (sp.1) identiek aan O. rupestris, terwijl de andere (sp.2) nauw verwant is.
