Yesterday, the Dallas Morning News posted a video in which Stacee McWilliams, a Dallas resident who happened upon the aftermath of the car wreck that was caused by Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent and killed linebacker Jerry Brown, describes how she had to urge Brent to pull his friend and teammate out of the burning car.
In the video, which you can watch below, McWilliams claims that when she arrived at the scene of the accident, Brent was pacing near his overturned car, and did not immediately alert her to the fact someone else was in the car. It was not until flames near the engine got larger that McWilliams claims she heard Brown crying for help from inside the car, at which point she had to convince Brent to try to pull Brown out of the car. "I want people to understand that Josh Brent is not a hero," McWilliams says.

Police are combing the East River and Queens shoreline after a human arm, a torso and pair of legs were found just southwest of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, and the family of a missing teenager has been contacted as part of the investigation.
Authorities reached out to the family of missing Queens teenager Avonte Oquendo after some clothing was also found, family lawyer Daniel Perecman said.
Sources said the torso and legs were found in a pair of Old Navy jeans and size 5 1/2 Air Jordan sneakers, which is what Avonte was wearing the day he disappeared more than three months ago.
A pair of underwear found with the remains does not match the brand or size Avonte was wearing, sources said.
The remains have been taken to the medical examiner for DNA testing. Perecman said the parts are so decomposed and damaged by water that it's impossible to even identify the skin color.
Oquendo's mother has turned over Avonte's toothbrush and a copy of his baby footprint so investigators could see whether the DNA matches that of the remains, said Perecman.
The left arm washed ashore near Powell Cove Boulevard and Endeavor Place in College Point and was found by a resident at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday, police said.
Police then found the other body parts in the rocks in the water nearby.
The location is about 9 miles by waterway from Avonte's school in Long Island City, which is also along the East River and where he was last seen on Oct. 4. (See map below) The flow of the East River, which is actually a tidal strait and not a river, changes direction with the tide.
The disappearance of the autistic and mute teen launched a search that spanned the city and extended even into the suburbs.
Perecman said the child was last seen on surveillance video in a park right along the water. But, he said, the teen is afraid of water and the family doesn't believe he would have voluntarily crossed a shoreline barrier.
"Which is why we thought early on it would have been highly unlikely for him to go over that fence," he said.
Avonte's mother is "not going to be convinced this is her son until there's enough to convince her," Perecman said.

| 4.9°C Belfast
Russell Crowe said he has no interest in reuniting with Sir Ridley Scott for the filmmaker's forthcoming production about Scottish warrior William Wallace.
The Hollywood star, who has Scottish ancestry, has teamed up with Sir Ridley in the past to reinvigorate old legends, rebooting the sword 'n' sandals genre with 2000 blockbuster Gladiator and more recently with their darker take on Robin Hood in 2010.
But the New Zealand-born star said he has no interest in becoming the second Australasian William Wallace, picking up the baton from Mel Gibson's Braveheart, in the planned television mini-series about Wallace and Robert the Bruce produced by Sir Ridley's Scott Free Productions for the Discovery Channel.
"Not if it's a TV show - I've got other things to do mate," Russell said at a fans' premiere of his new biblical adventure Noah at the Filmhouse in Edinburgh.
He chatted with fans and journalists in the Scottish capital about his respect for Noah director Darren Aronofsky, the Pope who he recently visited at the Vatican, and the Scottish people with whom he shares a common ancestry.
"My grandfather's name was Wemyss, but he was not from the town of Wemyss", said Russell.
"I think Scotland's a pretty fascinating place. I'd love to come back."
His heritage may entitle him to register for Scottish citizenship under the SNP's plans for independence, but he said he had no strong opinion on the matter beyond a recognition of Scotland's "very clear and certain cultural identity".
Noah has caused controversy over its depiction of the biblical prophet who is revered in all three Abrahamic religions, leading the film's crew to visit the Vatican to discuss the film.
"Given all the controversy it would have been very easy for the Vatican to rescind the invitation that they put forward, but the fact that they didn't I think shows a consistent kindness," he said.
"The Pope's message has always been the same but just recently the tone seems to have changed, and I don't ever remember feeling any connection to any other Pope but I feel quite close to this fella."
He added: "Noah is mentioned in every ancient religious text so at that point to me it's not about religion.
"It pre-dates religion as such, and becomes more of a shared human experience.
"Our geology will talk about flood mythology. Archaeology will talk to us about flood mythology. I lean towards it's a historical point.
"Whether it was 10,000 years ago as stated in the Christian bible, or 100,000 years ago or a million years ago I don't really know.
"That's one of the great things that Darren does in this movie, he obviously has an on-point message in terms of the biblical story, but on the other side of it he leaves quite a large gap for Darwinian theories of evolution.
"It was a grand challenge, combining that with a request from a filmmaker whose work I've been following.
"I've liked Darren's movies in the past, but Black Swan was particularly impressive to me. I've seen it three times. It's the kind of phone call that you wait for really."
Crowe was accompanied in Edinburgh by his young British co-star Douglas Booth, who plays his son Shem.
Douglas said: "Darren Aronofsky is one of the greatest filmmakers alive so when he asked me to work with him it was just a dream come true.
"Russell has such a great presence and a great energy, and when he comes on set you just don't know what he's going to do so it's very exciting to work with him."

This weekend Stella went on a road trip to see her Uncle Kyle. Kyle is playing baseball at Oklahoma Panhandle State University. We left on Thursday evening because of the snow storm that had started that day, we wanted to make sure that we were able to get out of town. This was Stella's first snow storm and she loved the snow hitting her face, she would giggle everytime we went out in the snow. It is a 7 hour drive to Guyman, OK were Kyle's school is located, this is the longest amount of time Stella has ridden in the car and she did great! Stella was also able to stay in her first hotel this weekend. Stella also fell off her first bed this weekend. It was her first big oops! It was of course mom's fault and I felt like the worst mom in the world. Stella did love watching the baseball games, while it was snowing here in AR, it was awondeful 68 degrees with the sun shineing in OK. Stella also had a second tooth break through this weekend, we now have two teeth on the bottom.

'Sister Wives' -- Not Backing Down from Season 2
'Sister Wives' Not Backing Down from Season 2
They're still in the middle of a criminal investigation -- but the polygamist family featured on "Sister Wives" has officially agreed to do another season of their TLC reality show.
The Kody family -- 21 members strong -- drew the eye of Utah officials right after their show debuted earlier this year. Authorities completed an investigation and turned the case over to the County Attorney ... who will ultimately decide whether or not to prosecute the family for bigamy.
Season 2 is set to debut in March -- no word if the family will address the investigation on the show.

H.S. Teacher Loses Job Over Facebook Posting
Cohasset Supervisor Resigns Over Remarks About School, Students
A Cohasset teacher, unschooled in the ways of Facebook, learned a stinging lesson this week after she lost her job over comments she put on her page.
The postings on the social networking site were discovered by Cohasset parents on Tuesday, but in just one day they caused such a furor that by Tuesday afternoon the teacher, Dr. June Talvitie-Siple, a supervisor of the high school's math and science program, was forced to resign.
"Clearly, Dr. Siple didn't know how to work Facebook. Maybe she's a great bio teacher, but the Internet is not her thing," said senior Olivia Yerardi.
The teenagers get it, but Siple learned the hard way that her Facebook postings, which were supposed to be private, were not.
"It's not smart, but if you are in professional position, maybe you shouldn't be putting what you really feel about your job or whatever on Facebook," said student Terry MacCormack.
On her Facebook page, Siple called the residents of Cohasset "arrogant and snobby," and said that she is "so not looking forward to another year at Cohasset schools."
As the high school supervisor for math and science, Siple was making more than $92,000 a year.
"I think that's pretty ungrateful, taking that much of the town budget going into the schools, filling up the position, teaching kids when her heart wasn't in to it," said resident Sam Green.
In a telephone interview, Siple said she is not apologizing for her comments, but that she is sorry that they went public. She said she was referring to the political situation in the school, which she called "very stressful," and she said she thought she was only blowing off steam with friends in private.
But back in February, when Siple got sick, she wrote on her page, "Now I remember why I stopped teaching kids. They are all germ bags."
Siple said her Facebook friends knew it was a joke.
"It's horrid. Who says that about children you are teaching, children you are raising that you are a role model for?" said parent Susan Wilcox.
Siple said she honestly thought she had set her Facebook settings on private and she took full responsibility for not doing so.

Yesterday lunchtime my doorbell went, this usually spells some sort of aggravation either by a misguided religious twit who wants me to join their troubled organisation, a rubbish salesperson who clearly hasn't taken food in a week or one of Cunt's acquaintances, the latter being a very rare occurrence on account of his character and its similarity to that of underachieving plankton.
I was confronted by a short middle aged cockney gentleman bearing a flat cap and staring at me with piercing blue eyes, each with more than a hint of mischief/violence and I instantly amused myself with thought of him tucking his thumbs into his waistcoats and whistling My Old Man prior to collapsing on the pavement gasping to death with Consumption… He cheerily enquired of the (my) bike concealed under the tarp and would I like to sell it…
Alarm bells tinkled, how did this fellow know that was my bike? I don't park it outside my flat, and how did he know to ring on my bell? Having never seen this bloke before, or anything like him since I saw Mary Poppins when I was 9, my mind went through a gamete of options, questions and responses. Something wasn't at all right. I was then told it 'nevah turned a wheel' before him asking me if it was a Harley, at which point I slammed the door in his chirpy fucking face. It was such a puzzling encounter I'm half convinced I made it up; even so, I spent the remainder of the afternoon checking on my bike every 30 minutes.
The weekend begun after a loathsome day at work at the pub with Frank, we had a very congenial chat and a couple of guest ales before I returned to my gaff to get it ship shape for Saturday. The flat is on the market and I'd already been informed that humans were coming to look at it at 2pm on Saturday… So on Saturday morning I got up earlier than the norm to get some keys cut for the agent, I met her, gave her my house keys and took a lift with another agent with whom I'd some viewings. I was taken to four different properties in south London, two in Streatham despite my categorically saying 'I don't want to live in Streatham' and being told that, 'actually, I did really. I just hadn't seen the right place'.
The first property was hideous, as was the pebbledashed street. The agent nearly had her car rammed by a Gilray-esque female, who was wearing so much rolled gold it's a wonder her head hadn't rolled off, who embarked on a string of expletives after the agent parped her horn to warn this inbred monster she was about to reverse into her. Frankly, following this incident the house, a few doors down from where this gold-strewn pig lurked, could've been free and I still would've shunned it like screaming Ebola.
The second place was expensive and clearly inhabited by vermin, I then directed the agent that, in no uncertain terms, did I wish to live in fucking Streatham and to take me somewhere else, at once. The third was ex 'local authority' sort of in the Wandsworth area (what ever happened to 'council house', the cunts) and not too bad except the décor within would have taken me 7 lifetimes to undo let alone decorate to some sort of standard of decency and the fourth property, despite being alright, was a burglars wet dream. That was my Saturday afternoon, a complete waste of time.
I plodded off to Sainsbury and returned home feeling disheartened. My flat no longer felt like mine as I clumped upstairs with armfuls of shopping, even if I didn't know for sure that they had, it felt like strangers had been inside my space peering at my stuff and making assumptions as to the state of my being. It was 5pm, plans for the evening hadn't really materialised -partially by my own design- and I planned on gorging myself with roast beef and all the necessary accoutrements. By 9 pm feeling much better after downing half a bottle of Minervois I had a fucking enormous plate of food under my nose. I ate this watching Gosford Park which seemed awfully apt, it was enormously gorgeous and I roundly patted myself on the back and celebrated by getting thoroughly pissed and rocking out until the small hours. Marvellous.
Sunday was always going to be geared around the Moto GP. I got up after lunchtime and nursed my hangover with a kipper the size of a pike and lots of toast and tea, after watching the Moto GP preview in the afternoon I did some writing, including some of this, and undertook household chores (I've another viewing this very afternoon) and took a bath.
The GP wasn't due to begin until 8pm, it's the first round and … (watches people leave) okay, I'll keep it dead brief, The English rider (double World Superbike champ, but because he doesn't cluster fuck, punch celebrity weathergirls or cheat on vacuous popstarlets, no one has heard of him –yet he's a world champion, twice crowned…) did incredibly well, 2nd on pole, 6th to finish –for a debut that amazing. Also, it was the first time Moto GP has takenplace at night, dead exciting it was…
Myfwt came back just before it finished and I made supper, we watched Oscar winning Crash, won lots of Oscars apparently, utter fucking tosh.
Metal Monday…

I have a Bengali friend here whom I visit quite often. Once I took along murmura chivda for her and she loved it.. Siad that it reminded her of Zhaal Muri, a bengali chaat/snack. She told me how its prepared(plus minus some ingredients) and served.. As a true chaat lover, returning back home, my first task was googling for the recipe.. found it at some places and finally prepared a mix n match combination.. Tasted lovely.. Next time my friend visited me, I said I was preparing sukki bhel(dry) for her. She had the first bite and said "This tastes exactly like Zhaal muri".. Now this was the real compliment and confirmation I was waiting for. :) So this perfect bengali favourite chaat goes for Nupur's "Z of Indian Vegetables"
I just thought what were the other words that come to my mind when i think of Z.. in general, just for timepass.. firstly zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, ofcourse sleep :) secondly Z for Zebra and Zoo, strong basics :) Z for zucchini, a common vegetable here in europe, Z for zunka, a maharashtrian vegetable dish, Z for Zimbabwe, thanks to my love for cricket few years back.. Z for zero, my childhood score for drawwing paper where I painted the sun green and the mango blue. :D Z for zhakkas, my favourite appreciatory word meaning awesome when extremely happy with something... Z for..........Wondering if I have missed some important Z words? :D
Preparation Time:
15-20 mins
2-3 servings
What you need:
2-3 cups crisp Puffed Pice(Mamra/Murmura/Muri)
1 Onion, finely chopped
1-2 Potato, boiled and finely diced
1 Tomato, finely chopped
Cucumber chopped (1/4 cup)-Optional
2 tbsp roasted Peanuts
1 tbsp roasted Cashews-Optional
3-4 Green chillies, finely chopped
Jucie of 1/2 Lemon
1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2 tsp Corriander Powder
A pinch of Turmeric
2 tbsp chopped Corriander
1 tbsp fresh grated Cocunut
Salt to taste
How to proceed:
1) Mix all the ingredients.
2) Garnish with corriander and cocunut.
3) Serve freshly prepared before mamra's become too soft
I served it topped with crushed Paprika flavoured Potato chips
* Best way to serve....
* A tsp of Mustard oil is usually added at the end before serving. I didnt have it and so didnt opt for it.. The quantity of lime, salt and red chilli powder should be adjusted as desired!

The R-C Morning Report for June 2
A 36-year-old Topaz Ranch Estates man is scheduled to be arraigned this morning on four felonies in connection with the sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl. Joseph Bruan Bonilla is charged with three counts of sexual assault against a child under age 14 and one count of lewdness with a child under age 14. Bonilla was arrested in January in connection with the incidents that allegedly happened this time last year.
Today is the beginning of the end for early voting in the June 10 primary election, which will continue through Friday. More than 2,200 people have taken advantage of early voting so far. If you count absentee voting, 10 percent of the electorate has cast a ballot. Depending on the turnout for the primary, that could end up being between half and a third of those who vote in the primary.
There's a red flag warning for Western Nevada today starting 2 p.m. with gusty winds and low humidity. Expect winds 15-25 mph, gusting to 40 mph and a possibility of thunderstorms. The high temperature should say in the 70s today.

Soccer Player's Hilarious Mistake Costs Him Easy Goal [VIDEO]
It's the shot laughed at 'round the world.
A soccer player in Venezuela identified as Anderson Fredrick missed a surefire goal from about four yards away when instead of just tapping in the gimme goal, he decided to roar back and blast it like a missile, sending the ball above the crossbar and viewers around the world into hysterics.
After watching Fredrick, all we can say is if he ever decides to go out hunting, we're locking ourselves inside our homes. Maybe he was jumping the gun and thinking about how he planned to celebrate the goal.
Check out Fredrick's epic blunder and see how it stacks up compared to other botched goals.

Wild Turkey Tamale
- Thighs and legs of 1 wild turkey
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 Tbl of Cumin Seed
- 1 Head of Star Anise
- 2 Tbl of black peppercorn
Take all of the above and place in a 8 qt stock pot. Place cumin, anise, and pepper corns in a piece of cheese cloth and tie off with butchers twine to make what looks like a little tea bag. Cover with water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and simmer for 2-3 hours. The foam that may accumulate on top of the water, skim off as it develops. remove the meat, onion chunks and set in a container and cover to let cool. Reserve 4 cups of the broth and set aside. Once cool, shred the meat and onions. A food prossesor works great for it.
- 4 cups Masa flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup corn oil
- Reserved broth
Mix dry ingredients together, with you hands mix in the oil, and broth )1/2 cup at a time) until mixture has a cookie dough consistency. Should take 2 and 1/2 to 3 cups of the broth.
Get some Tamale Corn Husks and soak in warm water until pliable (about 45 minutes) Directions for how to do this, and asseble the tamales should be on the side of the package of the husks. Asseble as the package directs and tie 3-4 together in one bunch. To cook, stand vertically and steam in a large pot with just enough water to barely touch the bottom of the Tamales for about an hour. You may have to add a little water here and there to keep the steam going. I have a collapsable veggie steamer basket that fits perfectly into the bottom of my stock pot.
- 2.5 lbs of Tomatillos (those little green looking tomatos with the husks on them.
- 1 Jalapeno
- 1 Serrano
- 1 green bell pepper

Using Technology to Increase Student Engagement Inside and Outside of the Classroom
written by
Mario Belloni
Physics education research has documented that students who are in active learning environments learn more than students in more passive learning environments. With the creation of numerous PER-based and -inspired interactive pedagogies and with digital libraries such as ComPADRE providing high-quality material to teachers, the inclusion of these new pedagogies and resources is easier than it has ever been. Even with all these materials, it is still the personal touch and expertise of a teacher that is required to meld these materials and methods together. This report describes how physics teachers at Davidson College have used a variety of pedagogies, such as Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) in combination with simulations, such as Easy Java Simulations, Physlets, and Open Source Physics, to generate environments that emphasize personal teacher-student interactions.

Despite bruised right elbow, Miller may not miss turn
Cardinals rookie struck by liner in first inning, says elbow is sore but 'nothing hurts'
ST. LOUIS -- Four hours after taking a liner off his right elbow, Cardinals rookie right-hander Shelby Miller felt encouraged enough about his early progress that he refused to rule out making his next start.
Whether Miller will stay on turn will be determined by how his pitching arm responds in the coming day. Regardless, the consensus in the Cardinals' clubhouse after a 13-4 loss to the Dodgers was that the club dodged what could have been a much more severe injury.
"You always think the worst things when something like that happens, especially when you have the trainer trying to get you to grip stuff and you're just in shock," Miller said. "But coming in here, I got ice on it, making sure it wasn't going to swell up. The trainers were taking really good care of it. It's feeling better. It's probably going to be sore [Thursday], but at the same time, when I do certain pitching motions, it's just sore. Nothing hurts. I'm optimistic about it."
Miller threw only two pitches in what was his 22nd start of the season. On the second one, Dodgers' Carl Crawford sent a line drive back up the middle, and, with Miller unable to get out of the way as he finished his delivery, the ball ricocheted off his pitching arm and into shallow left field. Crawford legged out a double. Miller crouched down near the mound.
Manager Mike Matheny and trainer Chris Conroy made a short visit before walking off the mound with Miller. The rookie righty was diagnosed with a bruised elbow, and X-rays were negative. The ball, which left seam marks on Miller's arm, hit him in between two bones.
"I lucked out there," Miller said. "It's scary. No pitcher really likes comebackers, especially coming off your throwing arm. At first, you have no feeling in your arm and you don't know what to expect. But I came in here and got good results. I'm feeling good about it."
Reliever Michael Blazek took over and stranded Crawford to end the inning. Without a designated long reliever in the bullpen, the Cardinals then turned to Thursday starter Jake Westbrook to get the club into the sixth.
Miller's turn in the rotation will come up Tuesday, in the team's series opener against the Pirates. However, with an off-day Monday, the Cardinals do have the flexibility to skip Miller's spot. That would give him until Aug. 17 to recover without requiring a move to the disabled list.
"We've all agreed that it's a good chance I'm not going to miss any time," Miller said. "We have an off-day coming up, that's going to help. I'm sure Mike will maybe switch it up a little bit. But I feel like I'll be ready to go when my time comes around. It's going to feel like a little sore arm. That's it."

[Amended 7-18-2011 by Ord. No. 11-17]
Subject to the approval of the Mayor, the enforcing agency and the Board of Appeals may adopt rules for their internal regulation, not inconsistent with any specific provisions of law or regulation.
[Adopted 1-14-1993 by Ord. No. 93-3[1]]
Editor's Note: The provisions of this ordinance were originally adopted 4-6-1992 as Ord. No. 92-9, subject to review by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). Upon the completion of such review, these provisions were readopted as Ord. No. 93-3.
As used in this article, the following words and terms shall have the meanings indicated, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
- Any housing unit with an acquisition price or rent level not exceeding the maximum resale or rent level for low- and moderate-income housing as set forth in N.J.A.C. 5:92-12.
- The New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing.
- Money paid by an individual, person, partnership, association, company or corporation for the improvement of property as permitted in N.J.A.C. 5:92-18.
- The value of a property determined by the Township Tax Assessor through a process designed to ensure that all property in the Township is assessed at the same assessment ratio or ratios required by law. Estimates at the time of building permit may be obtained by the Tax Assessor utilizing estimates for construction cost. Final equalized assessed value will be determined at project completion by the Township Tax Assessor.
- A determination by COAH approving the Township's housing element and fair share plan in accordance with the Fair Housing Act of 1985, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-301 et seq., and the rules and criteria adopted by COAH.
The purpose of this article is to establish a schedule of development fees and a Housing Trust Fund, to provide for the creation and preservation of affordable housing in the Township of Bridgewater. The New Jersey Supreme Court, in Holmdel Builders Association v. Holmdel Township, 121 N.J. 550 (1990), determined that mandatory development fees are both statutorily and constitutionally permissible. The Court further anticipated that COAH would promulgate appropriate development fees rules specifying, among other things, the standards for these development fees.
Any fees collected prior to December 13, 1990, shall be retained by the Township pursuant to COAH's rules regarding the retention of development fees.
Residential development fees shall be a maximum of 1% of the equalized assessed value for residential development, provided that no increased density is permitted.
[Amended 5-2-2005 by Ord. No. 05-13]
Where there is a zoning change that permits increased residential development, the Township may impose a development fee of up to 6% of the equalized assessed value for each additional unit that may be realized as a result of the rezoning. For example if a rezoning allows two extra units to be constructed, the fees could equal 1% of equalized assessed value on the first unit and 6% of equalized assessed value on the two incremental units.
[Amended 5-2-2005 by Ord. No. 05-13]
The Township may allow developers of sites zoned for inclusionary development to pay a fee in lieu of building low- and moderate-income units, provided that COAH determines the Township's housing element and fair share plan provide a realistic opportunity for addressing the Township's fair share obligation. The fee may equal the cost of subsidizing the low- and moderate-income units that are replaced by the development fee. For example, an inclusionary development may include a twenty-percent set-aside, no set-aside and a fee that is the equivalent of a twenty-percent set-aside or a combination of a fee and set-aside that is the equivalent of a twenty-percent set-aside. Any such agreement must be reviewed and approved by COAH.
[Amended 12-4-2017 by Ord. No. 17-23]
Affordable housing developments, developments where the developer is providing for the construction of affordable units elsewhere in the municipality, and developments where the developer has made a payment in lieu of on-site construction of affordable units shall be exempt from development fees.
Owner-occupied residential structures demolished and replaced as a result of a fire, flood, or natural disaster shall be exempt from paying a development fee.
The Township may collect fees exceeding those permitted in this section, provided that it enters into agreements with developers that offer a financial incentive for paying higher fees. The financial incentive may be in the form of a tax abatement. No agreement may provide for a voluntary development fee without also providing for a comparable offsetting incentive. All agreements are subject to COAH approval.
Within all zoning districts, nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall pay a fee equal to 2.5% of the equalized assessed value of the land and improvements for all new nonresidential construction on an unimproved lot or lots.
[Amended 5-2-2005 by Ord. No. 05-13; 12-4-2017 by Ord. No. 17-23]
The Township may collect fees exceeding those permitted in this section, provided that it enters into agreements with developers that offer a financial incentive for paying higher fees. Such agreements may include, but are not limited to, a tax abatement, increased commercial/industrial square footage, increased commercial/industrial lot coverage and/or increased commercial/industrial impervious coverage in return for an increased fee. The fee negotiated must bear a reasonable relationship to the additional commercial/industrial consideration to be received. All agreements are subject to COAH approval.
Nonresidential developers, except for developers of the types of development specifically exempted, shall also pay a fee equal to 2.5% of the increase in equalized assessed value resulting from any additions to existing structures to be used for nonresidential purposes.
The nonresidential portion of a mixed-use inclusionary or market-rate development shall be subject to the development fee of 2.5%, unless otherwise exempted below.
The fee of 2.5% shall not apply to an increase in equalized assessed value resulting from alterations, change in use within existing footprint, reconstruction, renovations and repairs.
Exemptions for nonresidential development.
Nonresidential developments shall be exempt from the payment of non-residential development fees in accordance with the exemptions required pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46, as specified in the Form N-RDF, "State of New Jersey Non-Residential Development Certification/Exemption" form. Any exemption claimed by a developer shall be substantiated by that developer.
A developer of a nonresidential development exempted from the nonresidential development fee pursuant to P.L. 2008, c. 46 shall be subject to it at such time the basis for the exemption no longer applies, and shall make the payment of the nonresidential development fee, in that event, within three years after that event or after the issuance of the final certificate of occupancy of the nonresidential development, whichever is later.
If a property which was exempted from the collection of a nonresidential development fee thereafter ceases to be exempt from property taxation, the owner of the property shall remit the fees required pursuant to this section within 45 days of the termination of the property tax exemption. Unpaid nonresidential development fees under these circumstances may be enforceable by the Township of Bridgewater as a lien against the real property of the owner.
Except as provided for in § 62-8 above, inclusionary developments shall be exempt from development fees. All other forms of new construction shall be subject to development fees.
Development fees may be collected when an existing structure is expanded or undergoes a more intense use. The development fee that shall be collected shall be calculated on the increase in the equalized assessed value of the improved structure.
The Township shall not reduce densities from preexisting levels and then require developers to pay development fees in exchange for an increased density.
Developments that have received preliminary or final approval or final approval prior to the imposition of a Township development fee shall be exempt from development fees unless the developer seeks a substantial change in the approval.
No public agency, hospital or educational institution shall be obligated to pay any development fee required herein.
The Township shall collect up to 50% of the fee on any specific development at the time of issuance of the building permit for such development. The remaining portion shall be due upon and as a precondition to issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
Equalized assessed value.
If the estimated equalized assessed value is less than the final equalized assessed value, the difference shall be paid by the developer within 10 business days from receipt of notification from the Township of such difference. In the event that the developer fails to make timely payment to the Township of such difference, it shall become a lien upon the property which the Township may file without further notice to the developer. The Township shall be entitled to add to the amount of such deficiency the reasonable costs, including attorney's fees, of filing and discharging such a lien.
If the final equalized assessed value exceeds the estimated equalized assessed value, the Township shall promptly refund any excess paid to the developer once such determination has been made.
All development fees, including those previously collected, shall be deposited in a separate interest-bearing Housing Trust Fund. In establishing the Housing Trust Fund, the Township shall provide whatever express written authorization may be required by the bank to permit COAH to direct the disbursement of development fees pursuant to § 62-15 or to N.J.A.C. 5:92-18.18.
The Township may use revenues collected from development fees for any activity approved by COAH or the Superior Court, Somerset County, for addressing the Township's fair share. Such activities include, but are not limited to, rehabilitation, new construction, regional contribution agreements, purchase of land for low- and moderate-income housing, improvement of land to be used for low- and moderate-income housing, extension and/or improvements of roads and infrastructure to low- and moderate-income housing sites, assistance designed to render units to be more affordable and administration of the implementation of the housing element.
[Amended 12-4-2017 by Ord. No. 17-23]
Funds shall not be expended to reimburse the Township for past housing activities.
At least 30% of the revenues collected from development fees shall be devoted to render units more affordable. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, down payment assistance, low-interest loans and rental assistance. This requirement may be waived in whole or in part when the Township demonstrates the ability to address the requirement of affordability assistance from another source.
The Township may contract with a private or public entity to administer the implementation of any part of its housing element, including the requirement for affordability assistance.
No more than 20% of the revenues collected from development fees shall be expended on administration, including, but not limited to, salaries and benefits for municipal employees or consultant fees necessary to develop or implement a rehabilitation program, a new construction program, a regional contribution agreement, a housing element and an affirmative marketing program. Administrative funds may be used for income qualification of households, monitoring the turnover of sale and rental units and compliance with Council monitoring requirements. Development fees shall not be used to defray the costs of existing staff.
The Township shall complete and return all monitoring forms related to the collection of fees, expenditure of revenues and implementation of the plan certified by COAH or approved by the Court. Quarterly financial reports, and annual program implementation and auditing reports, shall be completed on forms designed by COAH.
[Amended 12-4-2017 by Ord. No. 17-23]
The Township shall submit to the Superior Court, Somerset County a spending plan for the development fees collected by it, which plan shall include the following information:
A projection of revenues anticipated from imposing fees on development, based on historic development activity.
A description of the administrative mechanism that the Township will use to collect and distribute revenues.
A description of the anticipated use of all development fees.
A schedule for the creation of rehabilitation of housing units.
If the Township envisions being responsible for public sector or nonprofit construction of housing, a pro forma statement of the anticipated costs and revenues associated with the development.
The manner through which the Township will address any expected or unexpected shortfall if the anticipated revenues from development fees are not sufficient to implement the plan.
Occurrence of any of the following may result in the Court taking an action pursuant to Subsection B below:
[Amended 12-4-2017 by Ord. No. 17-23]
Failure to meet deadlines for information required by the Court in its review of a housing element, this Development Fee Article or plan for spending fees.
Failure to obtain substantive certification in a timely manner.
Failure to address the Court's conditions for approval of a plan to spend development fees within the deadlines imposed by the Court.
Failure to address the Court's conditions for substantive certification within deadlines imposed by the Court.
Failure to submit accurate monitoring reports within the time limits imposed by COAH.
Failure to implement the plan to spend development fees within the time limits imposed by the Court, or within reasonable extensions granted by the Court.
Expenditure of development fees on activities not permitted by the Court.
Revocation of certification.
Other good cause demonstrating that the revenues are not being used for the intended purpose.
In the event that any of the conditions described in Subsection A occur, COAH shall be authorized, on behalf of the Township, to direct the manner in which all development fees collected pursuant to this article shall be expended. Should any such condition occur, such revenues shall immediately become available for expenditure at the direction of COAH upon the Township Clerk's receipt of written notification from COAH that such a condition has occurred. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Township shall, in establishing a bank account pursuant to this article, ensure that the Township has provided whatever express written authorization may be required by the bank to permit COAH to direct the disbursement of such revenues from the account following the delivery to the bank of the aforementioned written notification provided by COAH to the Township Clerk.
The ability of the Township to collect development fees shall expire with their substantive certification unless the Township has filed an adopted housing element with the Council, petitioned for substantive certification and received COAH's approval of its Development Fee Article.

Knoxville Black Foot Soldiers have issued a statement condemning the lives, families and people and friends mourning for reparations offenders Sawyer Webb and Crestus Roser and praising Devin Ackron Jamison and Jaron Harris as courageous reparations protesters who continue the noble fight for the unatoned for atrocities committed against the millions of African Americans in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.
"Whether it be on the government level or on the street level, the denial of our people's rightful reparations is an act of racial terrorism that we must defend ourselves against," Knoxville Black Foot Soldier Thomas Searcy is quoted as saying in a meeting Soldiers reportedly held near the University of Tennessee to show disrespect for Webb and Roser and show support for Jamison and Harris.
"We know that it was Webb, Roser and those like them who stand in denial of our Holocaust and in denial of those items our brothers claim on the street level who are the racial terrorists our people have historically fought against and even fight against to this day.
"We know that it is the righteousness of God who fills our brothers with the courage to stand up against these generational racial terrorists who present themselves as good. Webb and Crestus, today we not only demand brothers Devin Jamison & Jaron Harris be released into our custody, we join them in spitting on your hypocritical concepts of good."

ON THE MOVE: Guests at L'Uomo Vogue and Citroën's "So Chic, So Stylish" cocktail party Monday night gathered inside Milan's Galleria Christian Stein and adjacent Studio Giangaleazzo Visconti for Champagne and the chance to bid in the silent auction benefiting Women Create Life, an organization that uses art and design to generate resources for women's and children's health worldwide. The prize, a shiny Citroën DS3 Cabrio with L'Uomo Vogue in gray lettering near the back window, was parked between galleries, where large-scale L'Uomo Vogue photographs lined the walls.
L'Uomo Vogue editor in chief Franca Sozzani and Citroën Italy's director general Pablo Martin Puey greeted guests including the Camera della Moda's Mario Boselli; Costume National's Ennio and Carlo Capasa; Moncler's Remo Ruffini; Vionnet owner Goga Ashkenazi; Gaia Trussardi; Luisa Beccaria, and Adrien Brody.
"We're opening a new men's store near Corso Como in March," revealed Ennio Capasa, referring to the cool Milanese street that has undergone extensive construction.
While gearing up for the upcoming women's shows, Ashkenazi said she fell sick with a flu, and, to help her feel better, one designer from her team took her to church, while another gave her a gold necklace with a cornicello, or horn amulet, for luck. "It's endearing — I nearly cried," she said, touching the pendant at her neck and reaching to pull designer Diego Dolcini in for a hug.
Some guests offered their take on the prospects for 2013 amid Italy's political confusion and lingering economic malaise.
"I've seen very beautiful products of high quality this week," said Tod's chief Diego Della Valle. "Kudos to all the Italian entrepreneurs who are doing a good job fending for themselves." His brother Andrea chimed in, saying: "There are some positive signs this year. Italy is starting to come out of its troubles."
Diesel chief Renzo Rosso was more lukewarm in his assessment. "In Italy, we need another few years to get back on our feet," he said. "There's still no spending power here."

I was abysmal at the kind of writing that gets you good grades in English classes, so I never wrote much until tenth grade, after my ninth grade teacher embraced my creativity. Since then I haven't been able to stop.
The best way to describe myself would be complex. I lettered in two sports (Bowling and Baseball) in high school and captained two academic clubs (Science Olympiad and Math League. I'm a jock who likes to write, who watches Star Trek, who cares about LGBT issues and human sexuality. I'm a nerd that plays with legos and builds model railroads, but can also play sports. One day I'll read about psychology, then movies, then hockey, then history.
I've written four full novels, a couple dozen short stories and somewhere around five hundred poems. As a writer I derive inspiration from Rowling, Orwell, Crichton, and a number of Star Trek novelists as well as every movie I've ever seen. I like fantasy, things that can't happen in real life, the creation of entire worlds in which both author and reader can immerse themselves. I like ambiguous characters, neither good nor bad. I like insidious heroes, bastards with hearts of gold, people that make you laugh and think at the same time.
And I love to converse, so if you're like me, track me down somewhere and say hi.

Right now, our Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency program is in the process of moving to our new training facility at UBC as part of the National Soccer Development Centre (NSDC). As part of that, our players will need billet families in the UBC area, which is a crucial part of their development.
If you're interested in becoming a billet home for a future 'Caps star, I strongly encourage you to do so, and here's why.
My adventure away from home
I was 20-years-old when I first moved to Vancouver in 1979. It was a big step for me at that time. Before coming here, I was still living at home with my Mum and Dad and four sisters back in England, so this was a huge adventure for me.
My first couple of years I had a really good roommate in Bruce Grobbelar and we really hit it off right from the start, as he too had just moved here from South Africa.
But what made moving to Vancouver easier for both of us was being adopted, metaphorically, by the Colclough family. Marge and Norman had two kids, Nigel and Karen, who lived in a beautiful home in Burnaby and they were big Whitecaps fans. In fact, Marge worked with the Whitecaps on game days. Bruce and I were 21 and 20 and could of got into a lot of trouble or been home sick if it was not for the kindness and understanding of this wonderful family.
We would eat there more times a week than at our apartment, which meant that we were eating a lot healthier and kept focused on our job at hand, which was making the Whitecaps starting eleven. Even though we were in our 20s, we had the potential to make a number of bad decisions with no family members around to support us, but the Colclough family always were on the lookout for our best interests. We may not have realized this at the time, as you are living the dream as a young pro athlete, but having that family environment was extremely important to keep us grounded.
I realize now that I was quite smart as a youngster because in my third year in Vancouver I moved in with my adopted family to really experience that homely feeling. It was amazing to always feel like one of the family, which was so important, especially when things were not going well on the field.
Being so far away from your own family is tough as you are trying to make the grade at the top level and having a stable environment at home is extremely important for any young player, and from what Marge and Norman said it was very rewarding for them too.
If you too want to share in this experience, then sign up today to become a billet family at whitecapsfc.com/billet.

Optima Neuroscience is a biomedical research company developing innovative technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Drawing on years of research in EEG analysis, Optima is dedicated to creating products that will improve the quality of patient care for those suffering from acute and chronic neurological disorders.
More than 10 million patients are hospitalized every year due to acute brain injuries including head trauma, TIAs and stroke, and no technologies exist to automatically detect and predict seizures in these patients. As a result, up to 27% of these patients are misdiagnosed annually, resulting in preventable brain damage and loss of neurological function due to ongoing but untreated seizures. In addition, individuals suffering from seizure disorders such as epilepsy are often left searching for better solutions than currently available medical and surgical therapies.
Optimas initial product lines feature neurological status monitoring technologies designed to directly address these needs.

1. The Conditions of Socioeconomic Development Exploring the Legitimacy of Social Norms, Trust, and Corruption in Chile and Argentina
- Author: Daniel Míguez, Matias Dewey
- Publication Date: 11-2018
- Content Type: Commentary and Analysis
- Institution: Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies
- Abstract: A growing body of research, based on large-scale international comparisons, has associated socioeconomic development with several intervening factors, such as levels of respect for social norms, interpersonal trust, degrees of confidence in public institutions, or incidence of corruption in governmental bodies. The paper contributes to this body of scholarship by comparing the differing socioeconomic development experienced by Chile and Argentina between 1983 and 2013. Specifically, the paper inquires whether the greater socioeconomic development experienced by Chile was actually related to greater legitimacy of the law, higher levels of trust in public institutions, lower perceived levels of corruption, and greater interpersonal trust. The results of our exploration do not completely confirm or disprove this thesis. Instead, they reveal not only the need for a nuanced approach to how these factors relate to socioeconomic progress but also for their forms of association to be considered in the context of politically, socially, and economically fluctuating conditions.

It is times like these where Yankee-haters even must bow down to the catnip that is Derek Jeter's machismo. Maxim's Hot 100 list contains six women who've been romantically linked to the Yankee shortstop.
Depending on Jeter's next conquest, he's entering the rarified air of such cooze-hounding heavyweights like Robert Evans, Kelly Slater, and Scott Baio. (Oh, and Bo Belinsky.)
Let's gaze longingly and agogingly (author's note: not a real word) at Jeter's bodycount:

Russell Crowe and the makers of his film Noah attended Pope Francis' general audience but didn't get what they most wanted: a papal meeting.
The actor had lobbied for a papal thumbs up for his biblical epic and the ensuing publicity a Francis blessing would bring.
The film has been banned in much of the Muslim world because of its depiction of the prophet, while US conservatives have complained it took liberties with the Biblical account of the flood.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev Federico Lombardi, said the request from Noah's producers for a private audience was immediately turned down.
In an email to The Associated Press, Lombardi said there was similarly no scheduled "meet and greet" after the general audience, when VIPs can often get a quick word with the pope.
"They could have been at the audience like anyone else," Lombardi said.
It had been reported that the Noah delegation, including Russell, director Darren Aronofsky, producer Scott Franklin, and the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, Rob Moore, had met with the pope.
But in an email to AP, Paramount merely said the delegation "went to hear" Francis' address at the audience.
Russell was spotted in the VIP section of St Peter's Square, but was too far back to reach the pope.
After the audience, the star tweeted: "Thank you holy father @Pontifex for the blessing," and "What a privilege, attended the Udienza with the holy father @Pontifex."
Russell had avidly sought Francis' blessing for the film, tweeting in recent weeks: "Holy Father @pontifex, it would be my deepest pleasure to bring the @darrenAronofsky film to you to screen. That this may happen Inshallah."
Despite his general aversion to papal publicity, Francis did make an exception and greeted Philomena Lee and the makers of the Oscar-nominated film Philomena during a recent general audience. The film is based on Lee's story of being sent to a Catholic-run boarding house in Ireland where she was forced to give up her son for adoption.
