Boehner: House Won't Pass 'Clean' Spending Bill
WASHINGTON — House Republicans will not simply pass a temporary spending bill from the Democratic Senate after it is shorn clean of a tea party plan to "defund Obamacare," House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday.
"I don't see that happening," Boehner told reporters. He added that "I have no interest in a government shutdown" and still doesn't expect one to occur on Tuesday, even though the House move appears to raise the risk of one.
At the same time, the Ohio Republican said House GOP leaders would unveil legislation to lift the government's borrowing cap, but only if the new health care law is delayed for a year. He defended that measure's relatively modest spending cuts even as some rank-and-file conservatives pressed for more.
"It does not cut spending significantly. It does not fix the problem," Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., said of the debt ceiling package. He said he was undecided about whether to support it. "We need to significantly cut federal government spending, or long-term have a balanced budget constitutional amendment."
President Barack Obama again vowed he won't negotiate over the debt ceiling measure.
"The entire world looks to us to make sure that the world economy is stable. You don't mess with that," Obama said at a community college in Largo, Md. "And that's why I will not negotiate on anything when it comes to the full faith and credit of the United States of America."
Pressure is building on fractious House Republicans as a partial government shutdown looms at midnight Monday if a bitterly-divided Congress can't send a temporary spending bill to Obama on time. Republicans are breaking from longstanding tradition by trying to use the short-term spending bill to jam GOP agenda items past the Senate and Obama.
Meanwhile, the Senate trudged ahead toward a Friday vote on stripping the defund Obamacare provision from the House-passed stopgap funding bill. Boehner's remarks mean the House will return the stopgap measure to the Senate over the weekend, but he declined to describe what measures Republicans might add to it.
A partial government shutdown would keep hundreds of thousands of federal workers off the job, close national parks and generate damaging headlines for whichever side the public holds responsible.
The timeline is daunting since delays in the Senate — where tea party favorite Ted Cruz, R-Texas, promises to filibuster any bill that doesn't block Obamacare — could mean the first partial shutdown since the 1995-96 government closures that bruised Republicans and strengthened the hand of Democratic President Bill Clinton.
"When we send this legislation back to the House, Republicans have got to put an end to the tea party temper tantrums and pass our bill without any gimmicks and without any games," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash.
A 21-hour talkathon by Ted Cruz whipped up the GOP's tea party wing even as it complicated efforts by House GOP leaders to assemble rank-and-file support for a temporary spending measure.
Cruz wants to derail the spending bill to deny Democrats the ability to strip out the anti-Obamacare provision, a strategy that has put him at odds with other Republicans who say the move won't work and fear it would spark a shutdown.
Many GOP senators, including the Senate's top two Republicans, have said they'll vote to advance the measure rather than filibuster it to death, a vote that promises to give Democrats controlling the chamber a procedural edge in a subsequent vote to kill the tea party's effort to use the must-pass bill to derail Obamacare.
Wednesday evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., unveiled his version of the stopgap spending bill, which would keep the government running through Nov. 15. He set in motion a key vote on Friday that promises to expose the divide between Cruz and more pragmatic Republicans. Senate passage of the spending bill — stripped of the Obamacare provision — was expected no later than Saturday.
The simplest thing for Republicans to do would be to accept the Senate bill and send it to the White House for Obama's signature, a prospect that's unappealing to Republicans because it would make them look like they're surrendering. Boehner originally preferred a plan to deliver to Obama a stopgap funding bill without the Obamacare provisions.
Now, GOP leaders are exploring adding face-saving options — like the repeal of a tax on medical devices, which many Democrats also oppose — to the stopgap spending bill. There's also sentiment to take away the health insurance subsidy awarded lawmakers now that they'll be required to purchase health care on Obamacare exchanges.
The House is expected to approve a measure this week allowing the Treasury to borrow freely for another year, although that legislation, too, would include a provision to carry out the Republican campaign against Obamacare. While no final decisions have been made, party officials said a one-year delay was likely to be added, rather than the full-fledged defunding that is part of the spending bill awaiting action in the Senate.
The GOP's demands on the debt limit involves far less dramatic spending cuts than Republicans demanded from Obama in a debt showdown two years. Then, Republicans extracted $2.1 trillion in cuts over a decade for a similar increase in the borrowing cap. Now, GOP leaders are mulling a 14-month borrowing increase that would increase the debt ceiling by almost $1 trillion but are considering only modest cuts, like an increase in the contribution federal workers make to their pensions.
Shutdown-averting stopgap spending bills traditionally have been steered clear of these kinds of battles for fear of a politically damaging shutdown. But with the new health care law poised to enroll millions of people into Obamacare starting Oct. 1, there's a new urgency among opponents to pull out all the stops to try to derail it.

After weeks of waiting, I reached the top of the library reserve list for Going Rogue and will review it Monday. An offbeat incident from the memoir involves a shower that friends gave for Sarah Palin when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and pregnant with her daughter Piper:
"My friends and I still did a lot of things together, including clay shooting, and I continued to visit the range while I was pregnant. So in a nod to our Second Amendment, my friends Kristin Cole and Judy Patrick threw me a baby shower at the Grouse Ridge shooting range – complete with a cake in the shape of a Piper airplane."

Judge OKs $4B BP oil spill criminal settlement
NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? A federal judge on Tuesday approved an agreement for BP PLC to plead guilty to manslaughter and other charges and pay a record $4 billion in criminal penalties for the company's role in the 2010 oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Before she ruled, U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance heard testimony from relatives of 11 workers who died when BP's blown-out Macondo well triggered an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and started the spill.
BP agreed in November to plead guilty to charges involving the workers' deaths and for lying to Congress about the size of the spill from its broken well, which spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil. Much of it ended up in the Gulf and soiled the shorelines of several states. The company could have withdrawn from the agreement if Vance had rejected it.
Neither the Justice Department nor BP presented arguments to the judge before her decision in New Orleans.
Vance said the plea deal was "just punishment" considering the risks of litigation for BP and the alternatives to the settlement. She told victims' relatives who were in court that she read their "truly gut-wrenching" written statements and factored their words into her decision.
"I've heard and I truly understand your feelings and the losses you suffered," she said.
She said she also believes BP executives should have personally apologized to family members.
"I think BP should have done that out of basic humanity," she said.
The deal doesn't resolve the federal government's civil claims against BP. The company could pay billions more in penalties for environmental damage.
BP separately agreed to a settlement with lawyers for Gulf Coast residents and businesses who claim the spill cost them money. BP estimates the deal with private attorneys will cost the company roughly $7.8 billion.
For the criminal settlement, BP agreed to pay nearly $1.3 billion in fines. The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Justice Department was a $1.2 billion fine against drug maker Pfizer in 2009.
The criminal settlement also includes payments of nearly $2.4 billion to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and $350 million to the National Academy of Sciences.
In a court filing before the hearing, attorneys for BP and the Justice Department argued that the plea agreement imposes "severe corporate punishment" and will deter BP and other deep-water drilling companies from allowing another disaster to occur.
The Justice Department has reached a separate settlement with rig owner Transocean Ltd. that resolves the government's civil and criminal claims over the Swiss-based company's role in the disaster.
Transocean agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating the Clean Water Act and pay $1.4 billion in civil and criminal penalties. U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo has scheduled a Feb. 14 hearing to decide whether to accept that criminal settlement. A different judge will decide whether to accept Transocean's civil settlement.
Many relatives of rig workers who died in the blast submitted written statements that were critical of BP's deal. Twenty-eight-year-old Gordon Jones' family members said BP's sentence should include a personal, face-to-face apology to his widow and children by BP executives. A brother of Jones also had urged Vance to consider stiffer penalties that prohibit or limit the company's ability to operate in U.S. waters.
Vance, however, said she couldn't get involved in plea negotiations and only could impose a sentence that adheres to the agreed-upon terms if she accepted it.
Also killed were Jason Anderson, 35, of Midfield, Texas; Aaron Dale "Bubba" Burkeen, 37, of Philadelphia, Miss.; Donald Clark, 49, of Newellton, La.; Stephen Ray Curtis, 40, of Georgetown, La.; Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, Jonesville, La.; Karl Kleppinger Jr., 38, of Natchez, Miss.; Keith Blair Manuel, 56, of Gonzales, La.; Dewey A. Revette, 48, of State Line, Miss.; Shane M. Roshto, 22, of Liberty, Miss.; and Adam Weise, 24, Yorktown, Texas.
Four current or former BP employees have been indicted on separate criminal charges. BP rig supervisors Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine are charged with manslaughter, accused of repeatedly disregarding abnormal high-pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble just before the blowout.
David Rainey, BP's former vice president of exploration for the Gulf of Mexico, was charged with withholding information from Congress about the amount of oil that was gushing from the well.
Former BP engineer Kurt Mix was charged with deleting text messages about the company's spill response.
A series of government investigations have blamed the April 20, 2010, blowout on time-saving, cost-cutting decisions by BP and its partners on the drilling project.

NEW YORK — The daughter of a man pushed in front of a subway train and photographed a split-second before his death said Wednesday after a suspect was arrested that it "would have been great" if someone had helped her father up but "what's done is done."
A freelance photographer for the New York Post was waiting for a train Monday afternoon when he said he saw a man approach 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han at the Times Square station, get into an altercation with him and push him into the train's path.
Naeem Davis, 30, was taken into custody for questioning Tuesday after security video showed a man fitting the suspect's description working with street vendors near Rockefeller Center. Police said Davis made statements implicating himself in Han's death.
Davis, who police said was homeless, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge. He was in custody, and it wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer. He has several prior arrests in New York and Pennsylvania on mostly minor charges including drug possession.
Han's only child, 20-year-old Ashley, said at a news conference Wednesday that her father was always willing to help someone. But when asked about why no one helped him up, she said: "What's done is done."
"The thought of someone helping him up in a matter of seconds would have been great," she said.
Ashley stood with her mother, Serim Han, inside their Presbyterian church in Queens. The family came to the U.S. from Korea about 25 years ago. They said Han was unemployed and had been looking for work. Their pastor said the family was so upset by a front-page photo of Han in the Post that they had to stay with him for comfort.
"I just wish I had one last chance to tell my dad how much I love him," Ashley Han said.
The Post photo in Tuesday's edition showed Ki-Suck Han with his head turned toward the train, his arms reaching up but unable to climb off the tracks in time.
The photographer, R. Umar Abbasi, told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that he was trying to alert the motorman to what was going on by flashing his camera.
He said he was shocked that people nearer to the victim didn't try to help in the 22 seconds before the train struck.
"It took me a second to figure out what was happening … I saw the lights in the distance. My mind was to alert the train," Abbasi said.
"The people who were standing close to him … they could have moved and grabbed him and pulled him up. No one made an effort," he added.
In a written account Abbasi gave the Post, he said a crowd took videos and snapped photos on their cellphones after Han was pulled, limp, onto the platform. He said he shoved them back as a doctor and another man tried to resuscitate the victim, but Han died in front of them.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Han, "if I understand it, tried to break up a fight or something and paid for it with his life."
The suspect's last known address was in a working-class neighborhood in Queens. The only neighbor who even vaguely remembered Davis was Charles Dawes, 80, who stays with his son two doors down.
Davis "came and went, came and went, and he always looked serious," Dawes said. "But I haven't seen him for three or four months."
Subway pushes are feared but fairly unusual. Among the more high-profile cases was the January 1999 death of Kendra Webdale, who was shoved to her death by a former mental patient.
Straphangers on Wednesday said that they were shocked by Han's death but that it's always a silent fear for many of the more than 5.2 million commuters who ride the subway on an average weekday.
"Stuff like that you don't really think about every day. You know it could happen. So when it does happen it's scary but then what it all comes down to is you have to protect yourself," said Aliyah Syphrett, 23, who sat on a bench as she waited at Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan.
Diana Henry, 79, a Long Island resident, was waiting for a train at 34th Street. She stood as far from the platform as possible – about a dozen feet back, leaning against the wall.
"I'm always careful, but I'm even more careful after what happened," she said. "I stand back because there are so many crazies in this city that you never know."

As a second-year SLIS student, I've talked to quite a few new students in my program who are anxious about securing library jobs. I can understand how they feel; after all, one year ago I was a freshly minted SLIS student. I had never gotten paid to work in a library. I came to library school with the sage advice of my mentor, a very recent library school grad, ringing in my ears. She had conveyed to me in no uncertain terms that I should work as much as I could while going to school to build my resume. Because of her, I came to library school knowing I needed to jump right in—-but that didn't make the process any easier.
By now I've held several jobs and it has led me to realize that my real education happens when I go to work every day. I view my coursework as something to get through; if my classes are enjoyable it's a plus. I have taken enthralling classes, practical classes, boring classes, and enragingly irrelevant classes. They've fallen all over the spectrum. So while I attempt to do well in them, my main priority is working as much as is feasible. I firmly believe that library jobs should always trump coursework because if you do not work, you will not get a job in a library upon graduating. We could squabble about the particulars (maybe you could get a paraprofessional position without experience) but I don't think it's contestable. The library job market is intensely competitive and the more library experience you have, the better off you will be.
With that said, the following are a few tips I have for new students looking to work while in library school.
1. Reconsider "waiting to settle in" before getting a job. I'm not trying to be callous; I understand the hectic nature of moving a few days before classes start, unpacking, dealing with a new living situation, navigating an unknown city and campus. At times, applying for jobs seems like it can hang out on the back burner as you switch to survival mode for the foreseeable future. However, I'm always wary when I hear this because it's altogether too easy to let a month, then a semester, slip by. By the time you begin applying for student jobs, you may realize that it takes longer to land a student job than you initially thought. If you are pursuing the average MLS-seeking timeline of 2 years–that's a significant chunk of a fabulous window of opportunity that you end up not working!
2. Be enthusiastic…and not too picky. Especially if you are coming to library school without prior library experience, you'd better plan to bust out the charm. Just like competition for professional positions, competition for student positions is fierce (at least at my university). Personality and enthusiasm means a lot. Also, don't be too selective in the jobs you are applying to. If you want to be an archivist upon graduation, of course apply for any and all archives jobs that come up… but for your first semester, grab whatever position you can in the library system rather than holding out for the "perfect" job. In my library, the common wisdom is that it is easier to get a job you love after you have another job in the system. You're seen as less of a wild card that way.
Be aware of the difference between being too picky and settling, though. You very well might need to initially take a non-library job or a less-than-ideal library job (book reshelver, for instance) to pay the rent, but stay actively on the lookout for library jobs. Don't let a temporary setback become a barrier to building a strong resume that will make you competitive for professional jobs.
3. Have a resume, CV, and sample cover letter on cloud storage. I would recommend Dropbox or Google Docs for this purpose. At the very least, include your resume as an attachment archived on your email account. There is power in having access to this document any time and place you can get on the internet; instead of an arduous process, updating these documents becomes simple and no longer tied to location. At my institution, sometimes supervisors for widely coveted jobs like reference assistant stop accepting applications after a window of only a few hours, so time is of the essence. You don't want to have to either start from scratch since you're at school all day or chance it by waiting until you get home to apply. The cover letter will need to be tweaked, but I always find it much easier to adjust one that is already created than to start from scratch on a blank page.
4. Find your balance. Everyone comes into library school with a different set of responsibilities that then affect their classes, work, and life for the duration of their program. Work within your own circumstances to determine the workload you're comfortable with—-preferably one that allows you to maintain your classes, personal responsibilities, and some semblance of life satisfaction.
A big distraction to finding this balance can be comparing yourself to your peers. Keeping up with what they are doing and taking inspiration from their accomplishments can be a great motivator but it can also lead to feelings of inadequacy, especially during the beginning of your library school career. Challenge yourself without getting bogged down by comparisons.
5. Be tenacious. I believe that amazing growth is possible in library school, but it requires toughening up. Learn to get comfortable going through every step in the job application process: the giddiness you feel when you see that job posting, the whirlwind compilation of application materials, the nervewracking interview you leave not knowing if it went well or not. A few days later, if you get the dreaded email that you haven't been selected for a position, compose a short, gracious response thanking the person for considering you. Then immediately archive that junk! After all, you don't need it poisoning your inbox and bruising up your ego every time you glance at it. Allow yourself to mourn the loss of that perfect student job that you fell so hard for. Rejection rarely fails to sting (even after you have other successes keeping you buoyant) but keep in mind that everyone, even those library heroes you put up on a pedestal, has experienced it. I try to remind myself that success is often just another word for tenacity. So keep applying… before you know it a job will stick!
How do you approach finding jobs as a library school student?

BETHLEHEM, PA.—A Pennsylvania high school wants its students to cut back on the body spray.
Freedom High School in Bethlehem says one of its students was recently taken to a hospital after being exposed to Axe Body Spray. Now, officials are asking students to stop using it as a cologne or fragrance while attending the school.
Unilever, which makes Axe, says it is looking into the report. The company says in a statement that the safety and well-being of users "is always our first priority" and consumers with concerns should call the toll-free number on the back of the package.
School officials say the affected student is severely allergic to the spray. It wasn't immediately clear what type of reaction the student had or what chemical may have been involved.

White House, GOP draw red lines in debt debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Struggling for the upper hand in the next round of debt talks, Republicans and Democrats this weekend drew lines in the sand they said they'd never cross when it comes to the U.S. debt limit.
The tough talk on the Sunday morning talk shows doesn't bode well for voters who are frustrated by the political gridlock.
"I believe we need to raise the debt ceiling, but if we don't raise it without a plan to get out of debt, all of us should be fired," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Last week's deal to avert the combination of end-of-year tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" held income tax rates steady for 99 percent of Americans but left some other major pieces of business unresolved.
By late February or early March, the Treasury Department will run out of options to cover the nation's debts and could begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Economists warn that a default could trigger a global recession.
Also looming are deep automatic spending cuts expected to take effect at the beginning of March that could further erase fragile gains in the U.S. economy. Then on March 27, the temporary measure that funds government activities expires, and congressional approval will be needed to keep the government running. That's one more chance to fight over spending.
Republicans say they are willing to raise the debt ceiling but insist any increase must be paired with significant savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other government benefit programs. President Barack Obama has said he's willing to consider spending cuts separately but won't bargain over the government's borrowing authority.
"One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made a similar remark Sunday in insisting the two issues — raising the debt ceiling and reducing spending — shouldn't be coupled.
"Right now we have to pay the bills that have been incurred," Pelosi said. "And if you want to say cut spending for what we do next, fine, but don't tie it to the debt ceiling."
But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said spending cuts would have to be part of the equation if the proposal was to get any kind of GOP support.
McConnell on Sunday suggested Republicans were prepared to see the nation default on its spending obligations.
"It's a shame we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to deal with the biggest problem confronting our future, and that's our excessive spending,"
Meanwhile, Democrats said further tax increases for the wealthiest Americans were still possible as Congress looks to close the gap between revenues and expenditures. They say Obama has already agreed to significant spending cuts, and that the latest deal only gets the nation to about half of the revenue it needs to resolve the red ink.
"Trust me, there are plenty of things within that tax code — these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes. These are things that need to be closed. We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit," said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.
But McConnell bluntly declared that the "tax issue is over" after last week's agreement.
"We don't have this problem because we tax too little; we have it because we spend too much," McConnell said.
McConnell spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," ABC's "This Week" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Pelosi was on CBS' "Face the Nation." Durbin and Graham appeared on CNN's "State of the Union."

Crawligator ReviewBy: Rebecca RomoMy daughter has developmental delays and we are always looking for ways to prop her up to make tummy time easier and encourage the use of her hands and arms. In addition, we are always looking for ways to promote the positioning of her knees underneath her...the Crawligator does both. In the past we rolled up blankets, used my leg or a couch cushion but none of these promote movement in the way the Crawligator does. We see physical therapy twice a week and I showed our PT the product and she agreed that it does the things we are trying to promote. As a bonus the product is so fun looking that my toddler is very interested in it. Having him involved always increases enthusiasm and duration of tummy time, so it's a win win that he loves the look of the Crawligator. At the moment she isn't able to make it move, we're solely using it to provide support under her chest so that she can explore with her hands and learn to put weight on her hands. It positions her knees perfectly to give her the feel of what's to come and I'm excited to see her discover the movement aspect as well.
For the full review please visit - https://www.capecodmoms.com/mommy-blog/crawligator-review
Wow! What a great review. This looks like a wonderful product with many benefits. After reading your story about your daughter, I am interested in getting one for my granddaughter. There is a professional promo code for PPT's 50% off. Code: PPT20201.

A line from Notorious New Jersey that I've been thinking about since last week's corruption sweep: Jon Blackwell noted that when the governor asked residents to suggest new slogan for the state back in 2006, someone proposed "Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted." How long would that one have been true even if it hadn't lost to "New Jersey, Come See for Yourself"?

100 Reasons Not to Move to New Jersey, Including the Real-Life Tony Soprano
From the Aaron Burr-Alexander Hamilton duel to anthrax-laced letters
Notorious New Jersey: 100 True Tales of Murders and Mobsters, Scandals and Scoundrels. By Jon Blackwell. Rutgers/Rivergate, 406 pp., $18.95, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
Three hours before the start of a murder trial in New Jersey last week, someone gunned down the mother of a witness's girlfriend. Defense lawyers dismissed the killing as a coincidence.
We have a lot of coincidences here in New Jersey, and Jon Blackwell serves them up in fine style in Notorious New Jersey. In this lively collection of 100 true-crime tales, Blackwell deals mostly with events so scandalous they made national news, or should have.
Take his profile of the Newark mob boss Ruggiero "Richie the Boot" Boiardo, whom Sopranos creator David Chase has called an inspiration for Tony Soprano (a fact oddly unmentioned in the book). Blackwell notes that the gangster lived in a stone mansion that Life magazine described as "Transylvanian traditional":
"The road past his home in Livingston, New Jersey, was flanked by a pedestal on which stood a dozen painted busts of his family, staring blank-eyed like porcelain dolls. A statue of Boiardo himself, astride a white horse, towered above them. Vegetables and flowers grew in a grassy expanse marked by a sign, 'Godfather's Garden.'"
Ruggiero turned to his son Anthony "Tony Boy" Boiardo and lieutenants like Anthony "Little Pussy" Russo when he needed help collecting kickbacks or disposing of bodies. At the age of 89, he became "the oldest mobster ever to be put on trial, anywhere" when the state tried to send him to jail for running a Mafia syndicate:
"Pleading ill health, he had the charges dismissed. He died four years later, having outlived his son and every other vestige of New Jersey's swaggering gangland glory years."
For all of its mobsters, Notorious New Jersey is more than a dishonor roll of leg-breakers of yesteryear. Blackwell's masterstroke was to define "scandal" broadly. His book covers the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and the anthrax-laced letters slipped into a Princeton mailbox in September 2001, the Aaron Burr-Alexander Hamilton duel and the 2002 murder conviction of the philandering Cherry Hill rabbi Fred Neulander.
Then there are the corporate scandals, such as the cover-up at the Johns-Manville asbestos plant that Blackwell rightly calls "one of the worst corporate horror stories in U.S. history." For decades the company withheld from its workers the news — gained from employee medical exams and X-rays — that many were gravely ill with lung-scarring asbestosis or other illnesses. The resulting litigation forced Johns-Manville into bankruptcy and has cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
Why does scandal thrive in New Jersey? In the weakest section of the book, Blackwell tries to explain it by saying that the state attracts gangsters because, with 566 municipalities, it has "many nooks and crannies where bribery can flourish." That's true as far as it goes.
But most of Blackwell's scandals don't involve bribery, and some have more complex causes than he implies. New Jersey is the most densely populated state, and density creates opportunity. The state also has entrenched political machines, powerful unelected officials whom voters can't remove, and a legislature that refuses to close legal loopholes that foster corruption. The advent of casino gambling didn't help, either.
The scandals — whatever their cause — are here to stay. Blackwell provides a useful recap of the events that led to the resignation of governor James McGreevey in August 2004, some of them overshadowed by his declaration that he was gay:
"In the summer 2004, McGreevey's knack for choosing bad friends came back to haunt him. That July, one of his top fund-raisers, David D'Amiano, was indicted on bribery charges. It emerged that a Piscataway, New Jersey, farmer was upset at being offered too little money for his land as part of an eminent domain proceeding. He turned to D'Amiano for help, and the money man promised to sweeten the deal in exchange for $10,000. The farmer would supposedly know the deal was on if a certain state official used the code word 'Machiavelli' – and McGreevey was afterward heard using that very word in conversation with the farmer, who wore a wire. The governor insisted his use of the word was a coincidence."
Best line: On Bruno Hauptmann's trial for the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.: "H. L. Mencken was only half-joking when he called it 'the greatest story since the Resurrection.' Crowds of ten thousand people mobbed the Hunterdon County courthouse on especially dramatic days of testimony. Vendors sold them miniature kidnap ladders and phony locks of the Lindbergh baby's hair."
Worst line: No. 1: "Of the fifty states, maybe New York, California, Texas, and Illinois can match New Jersey for sheer sensational crime, but no place surpasses its blatant rascality." Blackwell appears to be discounting all the "rascality" against blacks before the Civil Rights era. If you count lynchings — and you should — any state in the Deep South might surpass New Jersey. No. 2: In a section on Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palmero, Blackwell leaves the impression that the DeCavalcante crime family may have inspired The Sopranos when the Boiardos seem more likely models www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/revealed-the-real-tony-soprano-444869.html.
Published: December 2007 rutgerspress.rutgers.edu/acatalog/notorious_nj.html
Furthermore: Blackwell is a copy editor at the New York Post. Notorious New Jersey should not be confused with the popular Weird New Jersey books, which deal with offbeat or lighter-weight topics such as legends, unsolved mysteries and a family that keeps a bowling-ball collection on its front lawn.
One-Minute Book reviews is for people who like to read but dislike hype and review inflation.

Weed varsity get wins: Etna JV teams win in their matchups
On Tuesday, Weed High School traveled to Etna to take on the Lions in Shasta Cascade League action.
The Etna junior varsity boys walked away with a narrow victory, 56-54. They improve to 8-10 on the year and receive their first win in the Shasta Cascade League (1-3). The JV Lady Lions picked up a 14-point win, 39-25. They are now 13-4 this season and 3-1 in the SCL.
The varsity girls came into the game missing one of their starting guards, Elida Pelayo, due to injury. The Lady Cougars took the close win 48-42 and remain unbeaten in the SCL at 3-0 and are 9-6 overall.
For the Lions, Sara Hoyt led with 14 points. Hannah Little added in another 10. Etna fell to 8-5 overall and 1-2 in the SCl.
Etna head coach Les Helsey was proud of the way his team played, he said. "Kelsey Eastlick did a great job defending Karene Marshall, holding her to 14 points. I am proud of the team for making adjustments, including losing a player to injury. They fought hard and fought back."
With the loss, Etna falls to 8-5 overall with a 1-3 record in league play.
In the varsity boys game, Weed cruised to a 62-36 win against Etna. The Cougars improved to 14-2 for the year and 3-0 in the SCL. The Lions fell to 3-9 overall and 0-3 in the SCL.

I previously reported on the closure of the Georgia Archives, effective 1 November 2012. Since then quite a bit has happened, including the termination of seven of the ten remaining employees, leaving only three employees to service all of the Archives' functions.
At noon on October 3, the Coalition to Preserve the Georgia Archives and the Friends of the Georgia Archives & History will be leading a rally at the Georgia Capitol Rotunda. It is very important that this rally has a large turnout, in order to truly influence the decision-makers. If you are anywhere near Atlanta, please try to make it to this rally. See the flyer below for more information.
For those of you who cannot make it to Atlanta on October 3, you can still help by signing the petition to keep the Archives open. At the time of this writing, the petition has just under 16,000 supporters. It has been promoted by archivists, historians, genealogists, and librarians in states around the nation. More help is still needed. The petition has a goal of 20,000 signatures. To be sure that our voices are heard, we should try to surpass that goal.
Governor Deal has vowed to keep the Archives open. That was before 70% of the employees lost their jobs. Ironically, he also declared October as "Archives Month." Hopefully, we are making the Secretary of State reconsider his decision, but so far nothing has changed. We obviously need to do more.
Visit the Friends of the Georgia Archives & History's website at http://www.fogah.org/ for more actions you can take to help.

It is an old song. I've sung it for years.
Reuters was hacked recently and many blame WordPress, though most honest reporters are quick to state that it is the webmaster/site owners fault for not updating. Seems they were running a version from over a year ago.
According to PC Magazine's Security Watch:
With the latest attack, [Mark] Jaquith said there was still no way to know whether the outdated version was the culprit, "unless Reuters shares what they've learned about the breaches." He said it was just as possible the attackers got onto the server some other way, and once in, went looking for the WordPress installation.
…"WordPress and its Plugins are definitely primary attack vectors for many attacks," Carey said.
Attacks on the platform are also not that unusual. There have been many WordPress blogs over that past year that have hacked with the Black Hole exploit kit to serve up malware.
"This isn't a knock on WordPress directly: the blame lies with site owners and administrators who fail to keep up with patches," Carey said, adding that while updating software is a "basic step," there is "evidence of a lack of execution in this area."
There are many ways to hack a website. Vulnerabilities may exist in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and other supporting programs that WordPress relies upon. I've been a victim of an attack on my site from a web host being careless with their server settings, something I had nothing to do with, nor did it have anything to do with WordPress, but it provided a gateway into my site.
While it is easy to blame WordPress, remember that it's your job to keep the site updated. WordPress is amazingly responsive when a vulnerability is found.
Here is the rule of thumb to follow:
- If a full update is released, update within a few days. WordPress is tested extensively nowadays before it is released to the public, so trust it. keep WordPress Themes and Plugins updated, too, and you will rarely have compatibility issues.
- If a mandatory update is released, update immediately. There are no compatibility issues, nor upgraded features to worry about. It is a security fix so respond immediately to protect yourself.
Hackers, evil doers, and time wasters are targeting WordPress because it is the Windows of its day. It's a big target.
Luckily, WordPress is up to the challenge.
Don't risk it. Update now.

Where will my shoes be made?
Almansa, Spain - The Shoemaking Capital
Your leather will be sourced from CONCERIA NUOVA ANTILOPE in San Miniato. The #1 rated tannery in Italy.
We launched in 2018 with the confidence that we can craft better dress shoes, boots, and sneakers than any other footwear brand on the market. We never intended to price our shoes below $400, but as a small workshop going against corporate giants, in an already saturated market, we knew we had to stand out. In 2019 Idrese pivoted towards the direct-to-consumer business model. We cut our margins tremendously, while maintaining the same premium quality we started with.
The average American spends approx. $1,580 a year on shoes. The reason is because many footwear companies are essentially marketing firms selling low-quality footwear made of glue and mesh. With Idrese, one pair will last you years, so there is no need to constantly buy shoes. The return on investment outlasts the initial cost and the quality remains long after the price is forgotten.
Our team is made up of fifty-one craftsmen and four serial entrepreneurs who work together to provide you quality that is unmatchable. With over twenty years of experience, every pair produced by our craftsmen is a work of art. With each pair comes style and durability, so you can expect compliments for years, not just months.
What you get here is a personal touch. We promise value in the footwear you buy from us. The quality of the materials and the craftsmanship is costly and labor intensive and we sacrifice much of our profit margin to price our footwear below market price. We understand that durability is just as important as style so we provided you with both at an amazing price by having a lean business model that focuses our efforts on production over gimmicky marketing. You've never had a pair better than this before.
To speak to one of us please text us or email us,
+1 (718) 717-2636 / email@example.com
Our return process is hassle-free.
Idrese accepts unworn, undamaged goods purchased within the last 14 days. Exchanges begin production immediately before receiving the old pair back to ensure you are receiving your exchange in a fast manner.

BOSTON — The city of Lowell played a major role Thursday morning as lawmakers and economic-development policy experts met to discuss a new report issued by MassINC that calls for injecting $1.7 billion into the state's 24 Gateway Cities.
Lowell, and in particular the ambitious Hamilton Canal District project, were singled out as successful examples of what can happen when the private and public sectors collaborate on a common investment.
Ben Foreman, executive director of MassINC's Gateway Cities Innovation Institute, told breakfast attendees that "projects like Worcester's CitySquare and Lowell's Hamilton Canal District should serve as a rallying cry that we can do better and we can do more."
The MassINC report does, however, point out that the Hamilton Canal project is still "hobbled by financial uncertainty" and mentions the $14 million renovation of the Freudenberg Nonwovens building as being a tough space to court commercial interests given its mammoth size and the rehab needed to spruce it up.
Trinity Financial Inc., the Boston-based real-estate company at the forefront of the Hamilton Canal project and the Freudenberg rehab, is also helping to jump-start a similar initiative in Brockton.
Regarding Hamilton Canal, Trinity Financial President Jim Keefe said he's "not staying up at night worrying about whether or not we're going to lease it."
"We put together a great plan and have a great community behind us," he added.
Assistant Lowell City Manager Adam Baacke pointed out that the timing of the Hamilton Canal District project "couldn't have been worse," as approval of the master plan arrived just in time for the dawn of the Great Recession in the 2000's.
He added that the city has witnessed "about $100 million in development" within the blocks ringing the 15-acre Hamilton Canal site.
"That gets at the heart of why projects like these have legs," he said.
Keefe said Lowell's journey actually began in the 1970s, decades before the Hamilton Canal project, when the late U.S. Sen. Paul Tsongas spearheaded efforts to create the Lowell National Historical Park.
"We're ahead of a lot of our peers but there's a long way to go," he said. "A city like Brockton is really at the beginning of this journey."
One aspect of Brockton's challenges that Keefe said caught him by surprise was the fact that "there has not been one Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit project, a routine resource."
Baacke pointed out after the meeting that in the past, there had been competition between cities like Lowell and Brockton, whereas now programs like the Gateway Cities initiative are encouraging more teamwork.
Greg Bialecki, the state's Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, called the MassINC paper a "terrific and important report" and said "you can't imagine a prosperous and successful commonwealth where we have cities under-performing and trailing the state's unemployment average."
Bialecki also called for aggregating different state spending programs and following the money to see where "we can think about re-prioritizing funds."
"We know the report calls for additional funding so the challenge of looking for more resources is a big one," he said. "It's going to have to be a real collective effort to get there."

A daughter of "the Mennonite equivalent of the pope" goes home
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home. Holt, 241 pp., $22.
By Janice Harayda
A librarian here in New Jersey found recently that books about the Amish now outnumber Amish people.* If the attention this memoir is getting is an indication, Mennonites are the new Amish — a paradox given that Mennonites are, in fact, the old Amish: The Amish tradition arose in the late 17th century as an offshoot of the more liberal Mennonite faith.
Rhoda Janzen is a daughter of "the Mennonite equivalent of the pope" who returned in middle age to the religious community of her youth. She had left it first for "studded black minis, enormous hair, fuchsia lipstick, and preposterously high Manolos" and then for a career as a poet and English professor. But several events drove her back to California, including a serious car accident and a divorce from her husband of 15 years, who left her for a man he met on Gay.com. She describes her sojourn in Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, a slangy and often amusing report on her experiences in a land of soft two-tiered buns called Zwiebach, served with homemade rhubarb jam. One experience involved the Mennonite equivalent of a pick-up line. Janzen says that a male rocker once approached her in a supermarket parking lot with: "If you're a single woman of God, I surely wish you'd e-mail me."
For a self-declared "grammarian," Janzen shows a oddly shaking command of the nuances of English usage. She uses "shoe-in" for shoo-in, "timber" for timbre and has a weakness for the cute, which shows up when she tries to explain Mennonite views on sex. "Keep your pervy pecker in your pants, mister," she writes. "Mennonite gals do not put out, no matter how alluring we are in our bonnets and aprons." Janzen also seems unwilling or unable to reflect deeply on how her strict upbringing might have fed her decision to stay for so long with an emotionally abusive husband. She says she remained in her marriage because her parents never fought during her childhood and getting divorced "was something other people did" — a explanation that isn't fully persuasive when she had broken by then with many other Mennonite traditions.
But the tone of the book so breezy, you waft though it. And occasionally Janzen lets you see how perceptive she can be when she drops the shtick and describes her life straight up. One such moment occurs when she reconnects with a friend who, though much like her, had stayed within the Mennonite fold and lived a more conventional life within it:
"Here was Eva, who could have made such different choices with her education and career path. Here was I, with my decades of restless travel, my brilliant but tortured ex-husband. And how sad it suddenly seemed to be buffeted by the powerful currents to which we had yielded our lives. So many years had passed. My childhood, my early friendships, my long marriage, all seemed to hang from an invisible thread, like the papery wasps' nests outside my study window."
*I couldn't confirm this, and it may refer to number of copies in print, not titles. There are about 225,000 Amish in the U.S. and more than 170,000 books printed.
Best line: No. 1: Janzen on her mother: "This was a woman who had once departed for Hawaii with a frozen fryer in her suitcase, on the theory that the chicken would be thawed by the time her flight landed in Honolulu." No. 2: The last lines of the review above.
Worst lines: No. 1: "—she patted her heinie significantly." No. 2: "Al's enrollment at St. Veronica's had not been a shoe-in, but Phil and Hannah had decided that Christian guilt was better than bad math." No. 3: " With a pattern of dodgy behavior already established, I was a shoe-in for further scrutiny." No. 4: "Aaron sang close harmonies in a madrigal group, his rich-timbered baritone blending like butter." No: 5: "Keep your pervy pecker in your pants, mister. Mennonite gals do not put out, no matter how alluring we are in our bonnets and aprons." No. 6: "I am woman, hear me pee!" No. 7: "Fresh out of grad school, I agreed to be the faculty adviser to a sorority whose members were commonly referred to as 'the Campus Hotties' or 'the Ones in Deep Doo-Doo for Trashing Four Hotel Rooms Again."
Furthermore: The Wall Street Journal article "They're No Bodice-rippers, but Amish Romances Are Hot" has more on the boomlet in books about the Amish. Third Way Café has an answer to: "What's the difference between Mennonites and Amish?".

Trout, Harper voted Rookies of the Year
NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels became the youngest AL Rookie of the Year on Monday and Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals was voted the second-youngest winner of the NL honor.
Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the Baseball Writers' Association of America's AL panel. The center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in 2008.
Trout, who hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, received the maximum 140 points. Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was second with 63, followed by Texas pitcher Yu Darvish (46), who joined Trout as the only players listed on every ballot.
Detroit second baseman Lou Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he was 2 months, 26 days older than Trout when he took home the award.
In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous AL winners were Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Tim Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr., Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk.
Trout, a son of former Minnesota minor league infielder Jeff Trout, spent some time in the majors last year but still retained his rookie status. He began this season in the minors and made his first big league appearance this year on April 28 — the day of Harper's major league debut. Trout's season put him in contention for the AL MVP award along with Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of Detroit. That voting is announced Thursday.
For winning the award, Trout earned a $10,000 bonus on top of his $482,500 salary.
Harper turned 20 on Oct. 16. The outfielder got 16 of 32 first-place votes and 112 points from the NL panel. Arizona pitcher Wade Miley was second with 12 first-place votes and 105 points, followed by Cincinnati slugger Todd Frazier with three firsts and 45 points.
Harper was the top pick of the 2010 amateur draft and batted .270 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs as Washington brought postseason play to the nation's capital for the first time since 1933. Only Tony Conigliaro (24) hit more home runs as a teenager.
Harper became the youngest position player in All-Star history. At 20 years, 27 days on Monday, he was 24 days older than New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden when he won the NL award in 1984.
At this time last year, Trout and Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League. The pair were among a record five rookie All-Stars.
