Spanierman Gallery invites you to view the exhibition Ten Modern and Contemporary Artists, presenting works created from the mid-twentieth century to the present by ten artists: Frank Bowling, Dan Christensen, Teo González, Carol Hunt, Stephen Pace, Charlotte Park, Katherine Parker, Betty Parsons, Neil Williams, and Frank Wimberley. Please read the following review of the exhibition by Piri Halasz from her online art column From the Mayor's Doorstep. This exhibition ends this Saturday, July 16th, at 5:30PM.
July 11, 2011
By Piri Halasz
Uptown, Spanierman has turned the "historical" side of its gallery into a stage for "Ten Modern and Contemporary Artists" (through July 16—a collagist is in Spanierman Modern). The focus in the group show is on artists older than the LaViola group, and/or artists practicing the gestural painting led by de Kooning in the 50s. Among them are Betty Parsons (better known as a dealer, but occasionally piquant as a painter), Charlotte Park, Stephen Pace, Neil Williams (shaped canvases in Day-Glo colors half-way between Zox and Stella), Carol Hunt, Katherine Parker, and Teo González. The three who stood out for me were Dan Christensen, Frank Bowling and Frank Wimberley. The first two, I am sure, are familiar to most of my readers, but they may not be aware that here is a chance to see five or six fine paintings by each.
The large "LS" (1967) by Christensen, displayed in the gallery's window, is a magnificent example of the artist's softly-hued spray paintings, built up of horizontal strokes of cream and gray, hints of brighter hues peeping through. Also handsome is "Wave" (1987), a small narrow horizontal, with white and red striations across it, and especially "Bill's Drift" (1979). This was a type of painting by Christensen that I'd never seen before, with a yellow field dominated by a diagonally vertical stripe of Kelly green, and lesser accents of purple, pink, orange and blue. I also saw five paintings by Bowling – 2 from the 70s, one from 1980, 2 from last year. The two recent ones, "Old Altar Piece" and "Wreath," were both welcome and familiar, but the two from the 70s were unexpected and gave me fresh jolts. "Flame" (1975) is blended vertical stripes of color, the broadest being mauve and the narrow one next to it, a surprising red, while "Sanovski" (1977) is a knockout, with an intricate rainbow of pale colors, blended like the feathers on a peacock's tail.
Wimberley (b. 1926) is the least known of the three, and I was only able to see three paintings by him. One left me cold, but the other two were impressive. This artist works with a defiantly flat matte finish. His "Immixture" (2011) is yellow paint slathered on, in raised short, folded strokes over a black field. "Tide Murmur" (2011) is large horizontal rectangles and narrower stripes of grays and black with accents of white, mustard and a pale bluish gray. With Wimberley, as with Christensen and Bowling, there was one painting on the checklist I couldn't see, because it was out on approval. I would be irritated except that I'm happy business seems good.

The FC Barcelona jumped at the chance to put Real Madrid to eleven points and won quite emphatically at UD Levante by 0-4. With Puyol and Pique as a pair in the back after all this time, Dani Alves became the only player in the starting lineup has not been formed in La Masia. But the victory was forged with eleven youth players on the field, as Brazilian side after injuring quarter hour, his replacement, Montoya, closed the circle of a landmark: never before had formed the club with a team full of homegrown players.
The release of Jose Ignacio Martinez raised the game as it usually does: 4-2-3-1 that becomes a defensive 4-4-1-1, with lines and outputs together extremely counter as fast as possible. So took the three points the previous day, at the Riazor, where I spot check something I have not stopped saying ever since: a long time since I saw a team swing so well as do granotas. Read more »

CHICAGO (AP) _ Juan Uribe (wahn yoo-REE'-bay) hit a tying double
with two outs in the ninth inning and Jermaine Dye singled in the
winning run in the tenth as the Chicago White Sox rallied past
Kansas City 5-to-4.
Paul Konerko walked to start the bottom of the tenth and
pinch-runner Luis Terrero moved up on a wild pitch by Brandon
Duckworth, who is 0-and-3 with the loss. Dye, who entered in an
0-for-13 slump and was batting just .193, singled to center and
Terrero beat the throw to the plate.
Mike MacDougal is 1-and-0 with the win.
Chicago starter Mark Buehrle (BUR'-lee) failed in his third
attempt for his 100th career victory. Buehrle gave up four runs and
seven hits in six innings and is 1-and-1 with two no-decisions
since his no-hitter on April 18th.

Theres their website.. they have two locations. PnS North often has more subies... and if you're making the trip you may as well go to both. Last time we went, they let us into North for free because we had the stamps from the valley location. Good luck!

then make some gutter mounts, here's a diy you could modify for the loyale
and bolt it to some cross bars.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 06:41 PM
You'll want to order some of these.
I've used them for various jobs, and they do work well.
Need to get some myself to install the Factory roof rack off the '92 onto my '88.
Some type of sealant would be good to apply around all of the inserts, I'm not quite set on what to use yet. Many good types of sealants are out there. Still digging around on that myself.
Posted 14 May 2013 - 12:54 PM
Ended up returning the old rack because I didnt wanna wongleflute with drilling into my roof.. gonna find a gutter mount at some point.. just moved to Havre, Montana! Replaced my blown stock speakers with some stocks out of a legacy from the yard... and its looking like we're pretty much gonna have to do an engine overhaul sooner than later.. its leaking oil like a scyv and needs all the belts replaced. Other than that Rook is running great! Been getting roughly 30mpg still so no complaints for almost 210k!

Len Burman, Contributor
I'm a professor at Syracuse U. and focus on tax and budget policy.
In Saturday's New York Times, pro golfer Phil Mickelson complained about his high marginal tax rates.
"If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and state, my tax rate is 62, 63 percent," Mickelson said. "So I've got to make some decisions on what to do."
My first reaction is that Phil should talk to his accountant because his effective tax rate is surely lower than 60 percent. The fiscal cliff deal raised his marginal income tax rate to 39.6% (assuming he's in the top bracket). The phase-out of itemized deductions will add about 1.2% and he will also have to pay a combined Medicare tax rate of 3.8% (the regular 2.9% for self-employed people plus the new 0.9% surtax enacted to help finance the Affordable Care Act). According to the New York Times article, Mickelson will also owe 13.3% in California state income taxes because he's in the new millionaire bracket. That adds up to 57.9%, but state income taxes and 1.45% of the payroll tax are deductible from federal income tax, so that reduces their net cost by 5.8% (39.6% of 14.75%). In net, Mickelson will owe about 52% of his marginal earning in federal and state taxes.
But suppose Mickelson's upper estimate on his tax bill–63%–were right. Is he saying that a $10 million endorsement deal wouldn't be worth doing if he only got to keep $3.7 million after tax? Really? Mr. Mickelson, do you understand that the typical American would have to work about 75 years to earn that much money before tax?
Sir, you get paid astonishing amounts of money for playing golf–directly through the purses you win at tournaments and indirectly through all the endorsement deals that come with golf success. According to Forbes, you are the seventh highest paid athlete in the world, with $4.8 million in salary and winnings and $43 million in endorsements?
Do you have any idea how lucky you are?
Please stop whining and give thanks for being able to earn a fabulous living playing a game and selling golf clubs (even after tax). 99.999% of people would never have that option, no matter how hard they worked on their swing.
Len Burman is coauthor with Joel Slemrod of Taxes in America: What Everyone Needs to Know.
Follow me on twitter.
The fundamental issue here is not whether Michelson should be happy about keeping $20 million of the $50 million he earned. Rather it's about what fair basis the state has to take $30 million it didn't earn away from him.
If he quits, and that $30 million is gone, the state is the loser. Using professor Burman's mis-targeted advice, let me say to the government, "Stop whining and give thanks for your good fortune!"
I don't blame Phil Michelson. I am planing on leaving the US as well because taxes are to high.
Well Len Burman you just do not get it! Theft is theft no matter who the perpetrator is. Obama, California and every other tax and spend liberal entity MUST be defeated.
What an appalling editorial, particularly coming from a man of your academic standing. Quit whining? Shut up? Be thankful that you're privileged to pay 50-60% of your income to bureaucrats who waste it?
Mickelson EARNS his money, by being one of the BEST in the entire world. He wasn't born a champion, and didn't become one by accident. To say he's merely "fortunate" is to insult and diminish decades of hard work and competition.
Mickelson's planned move is a classic case of Capital Flight, and a man of your economic credentials should be above the simple-minded class warfare you've fallen back on. It's the DUTY of a citizen to question whether they're getting their money's worth from government, and if no accountability is demonstrated, to make appropriate changes. Mickelson is FULLY within his rights to question where his money goes, and how much of it they take.
Your sneering attempt to silence Mr. Mickelson is shameful.
This article is a joke. He's now working to make less than half of what he earns?! Good calculations on the taxes, but >50% in taxes is outrageous. He should move to Florida, at least, or another country with lower taxes.
What ever happened to freedom and making this country the most attractive place to live? If I had family and friends abroad, I'd surely move away from these historic high taxes.
Phil has the money to easily live abroad and live a similar lifestyle without all the taxes. He can easily make up for the flights in the taxes he'll end up paying.
So, Mr. Burman thinks it's acceptable for government to take over half of one's income. No need for Mr. Mickelson to apologize. I thought I was reading Forbes, not Mother Jones.
I'm sorry, but this is absurd.
Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but can you honestly justify the government taking OVER HALF your income? Telling him to shut up and pay is not how this country works. The beauty of this country is our ability to voice our disagreement and concern over how the country is being run, so Phil is well within his rights to point out an observation. I mean, would YOU be ok if the government took 63% of your money? Of course not!
Yes, he makes more money than I will in my entire lifetime, but how can liberals preach equality for all on social issues and then yell at Americans who point out the inequality in our tax code? Ridiculous and very frustrating to read.
Phil has as much right to complain about taxes as any citizen.
How much better off as a Country would we be if he were to relocate to Florida or Texas and use the resulting savings in state taxes to fund his charities?
Again, his opinion matters as much as any other.
This political position is typical of Socialist dogma: The proceeds of effort, talent and ambition belong to the government. To voice a position counter to this brings criticism and name calling; you are a "whiner." Our freedom is based on the US Constitution which restrains government. Mr. Burman seems to push all value belongs to government and we should not speak out when that government takes most of our income. Our current President has made it wrong to work hard, have talent and become wealthy. He has divided our country and academics push the cultural divide. Big government is not the answer to todays economic tsanami.

With his daughter by his side, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson returned to the Oakland County Executive Office Building in Pontiac for the first time since he was injured in an August crash.
Mary Warner, 36, accompanied her father into the Conference Center where the 73-year-old was greeted with signs that read "Welcome Back Brooks" and a standing ovation from his managers, chiefs and the media.
A tearful Patterson greeted the audience from a wheelchair. Looking much thinner and speaking softly he told the audience he managed to take 168 steps today and is determined to walk again. He recalled how
"They put in a new device—a blinking yellow—and people do not know that does not give you the right-of-way and he shot through that at full speed. He just creamed us."
For 17 days after the accident, Patterson said he was out. He doesn't remember much and that is one of the reasons he invited his daughter to speak at the press conference—to recall the early days of his hospitalization for the media. He also joked that his son, who is a chiropractor, advised him not to take any pain medication today saying it would compromise the county executive's ability to speak.
"I disregarded what he said and I took the pain pills. I told him I was going to deal with this news conference in one swell poop," Patterson said drawing a laugh from the audience.
"We knew Dad was back when the jokes started coming back," said Warner.
'It's Dad's will to be here'
Like her father, Warner is witty and has a gift for public speaking. She spoke off the cuff about the ups and the downs the family endured during the five weeks her father spent in McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac after suffering almost a dozen broken bones.
"They gave him a 3 percent chance to live," Warner said. "There is no other explanation for me and my family other than it's Dad's will to be here—and it is God's will."
Warner believes there is a reason her father needs to be here—there is something else he needs to do.
"He said to me, 'I have done the Dobson Open, which I am very proud of. I have done the Brooksie Way, which I am very proud of. And, I have some other great ideas I need to do before I am done.' As his daughter, I can't wait to see the things he's going to cook up for us in the next few years."
While Patterson's injuries have been a nightmare, it is clear the ordeal has brought him closer to his family. And, not one to wear his Roman Catholic faith on his sleeve, he said he has a new focus on religion.
Name recognition is enough
Patterson told the press he doesn't plan to do much campaigning this week. If he were in the race for his first four-year term he'd be in trouble, but voters know him after 20 years, he said.
"I have seen some polls that my campaign has done and I think my name ID is at 99 or 98 percent. People say 'Why don't you get some signs out?' For that 2 percent? I know where they live!" he joked.
Patterson faces Democrat Kevin Howley, of Huntington Woods, in his bid for re-election on Nov. 6.
"We're really glad to see Brooks Patterson is back and we are especially happy that this experience drew him closer to his family, because at the end of the day it's all about family," Howley said by phone.
Setting that aside, Howley said there are still issues that need to be addressed in Oakland County.
"We really have had nothing new out of this administration. When the election is over, people are going to want some results, and clearly I believe I am the person to move Oakland County forward."

SALEM, Oregon — Oregon's string of monthly jobs gains has come to an end after nearly a year.
The state Employment Department said Tuesday that employers cut 4,300 jobs during June.
The Oregonian reported (http://bit.ly/1meUZeL) the losses were widespread, spanning blue-collar and white-collar industries, as well as low- and high-paid jobs.
Construction companies had been adding workers at a rapid clip, but cut back by about 3,600 jobs. The figures are seasonally adjusted.
Cuts also came in the manufacturing, business services, leisure and hospitality, financial and retail sectors.
The unemployment rate remained 6.8 percent for the third straight month. It's been at about that level for much of the year.
Job growth and the unemployment rate are calculated in separate surveys.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Many of the fans lining the fairways of the Old White TPC Course Wednesday did a double-take when Ryan Palmer's group came through. Many saw a recognizable face in Palmer's caddie, but it was one that was difficult to place.
The slender man in a Taylor Made visor looked somewhat out of place without a headset and a play sheet.
Palmer, a Texas native with four PGA TOUR victories under his belt, gave his regular caddie, James Edmondson, the week off and inserted New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton in his place.
"It's going to be fun to get the advice from a hard-nosed football coach," said Palmer, who has had a long relationship with Payton. "I gave James the week off to relax, so I'm looking forward to having fun and trying to win this thing."
Payton, who will be returning to the NFL after sitting out the 2012 season as a result of a suspension levied for his alleged role in a scandal involving Saints players being paid to injure opposing players, said he originally thought this would be his vacation, as well.
But after two practice rounds and Wednesday's pro-am, he's come to a new reality.
"I certainly have a great appreciation for the job that these caddies have," said Payton. "All of the sudden it starts raining a little bit and you're one hand short. You've got umbrellas going, towels going everywhere.
"I take the opportunity very seriously in that this is how (Palmer) makes a living."
A recreational golfer, Payton said he has plenty of respect for the different brand of athletes with which he's working this week.
"If there was two things guys would want to be able to do, I think unanimously it would be golf and sing, not in any order," he said. "Ninety-nine percent of us can't do either.
"I think the challenge, and you take it for granted, but 18 holes, however many shots, however many days in a row, the ability to have 100 percent focus on every shot (is unique). I know when we jump in golf carts and drive around a course and shoot in the 90s, we might have great focus on eight shots, total. But to do that and force yourself to have that same discipline (on every shot), I think is probably a big challenge for these guys."
Payton said the other caddies on the TOUR, fighting to make a living at the craft, have treated him with nothing but respect, although there has been some good natured ribbing.
"A friend of mine, D.J. Nelson, who caddies for Chad Campbell, sent me a text saying, 'Make sure you tell Sean where our caddie dining is, and we're staying down at the Quality Inn, so we expect to see him there later this week too,'" said Palmer. "They've enjoyed it. They've talked to him on the range. It's pretty cool to hear the mindset of one of the great coaches in the game, a Super Bowl-winning coach."
Palmer doesn't plan on taking much advice from his caddie on club selection or reading greens, but he did have some words of wisdom for Payton on doing his job correctly.
"Just shut up and keep up," Palmer said with a laugh. "That's it."

If Ted Potter Jr. has any trouble gripping the golf club this week, you can probably blame fatigue in his hands.
The 2012 Greenbrier Classic champion, in just his sophomore season on the PGA TOUR, is still an unknown on many of the TOUR's stops. But back at the Greenbrier, he's almost as well known as Bubba Watson or Phil Mickelson.
"It's definitely been a treat being here this week," he said. "I played in a pro-am Monday, and the fans out there were very respectful and very nice. I've definitely signed a lot more autographs than I normally would at a PGA event."
• • •
Bill Haas had to pack more on his trip to The Greenbrier than he ever has in the past, and it wasn't because he's toting the trophy from winning the AT&T National last week.
The 31-year-old, along with his wife, Julie, welcomed his first child, William Harlan Haas III, on May 13, and for the first time his young son is with him at a PGA TOUR stop.
"This was his first week on the road, so it's kind of a learning experience for all of this week, just trying to figure that out," said Haas. "We certainly packed more stuff for this road trip than we've ever packed for any, and that's different.
"It's a different week than I've ever experienced on TOUR but all for great reasons. Luckily my wife handles most of it. I'm kind of along for the ride there."

A 20-year-old Lakewood man has been charged with murder in connection with a fatal stabbing in Toms River.
Steven Rosado has been charged in connection with the death of a man identified by multiple sources as Kevin Copes, 24 of Lakewood, Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford announced Sunday.
Toms River police were called to Community Medical Center about 1 a.m. Saturday after Copes was brought to the emergency room by friends for treatment of stab wounds.
"Toms River police immediately commenced an investigation into the incident, together with homicide detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office," Ford said. "As a result of that investigation, we determined that Rosado was involved in a fight with the victim and that we believe probable cause has been established to implicate Rosado in connection with the crime."
The initial investigation indicated that the stabbing may have occurred near or at the Briar Knolls Apartment Complex, police said.
Honorable James N. Blaney, J.S.C. has set bail at $750,000 with no 10% option.
It was unknown whether the stabbing was related to the that occurred late Friday night.
In that incident, a man was shot during a large birthday party for a 21-year-old man around 11:30 p.m. The victim ran to neighbors for help and was subsequently taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center's trauma unit in Neptune for treatment.
Anyone with information about this crime is requested to contact Sgt. Carlos Trujillo-Tovar of the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office at 732-929-2027, or the Toms River Township Police Department at 732-349-0150.

Two weeks after celebrating his 95th birthday, Billy Graham is back in the hospital for treatment of respiratory problems.
The Charlotte-born evangelist, who lives in Montreat, was taken to Mission Hospital in Asheville on Tuesday.
Mr. Graham is in the hospital with a respiratory congestion issue, similar to what he had a few weeks ago, Grahams spokesman, Mark DeMoss, said in a Wednesday statement. As was the case then, we expect he will be able to return home in a day or two.
Grahams son, Franklin, who runs the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is in Thailand this week to headline a festival, or crusade. He is not altering his plans, DeMoss said.
The elder Graham was last admitted to the hospital on Oct. 22 for a precautionary pulmonary test. He was back at home by Oct. 24.
Graham was also admitted to Mission Hospital in May 2011 with an illness diagnosed as pneumonia and in August 2012 with bronchitis.
In interviews, Franklin Graham and his sister Anne Graham Lotz, both evangelists like their father, have said Billy Graham has physical maladies common to people of his advanced age. He is frail, cannot hear or see well, and arrives at his rare public appearances in a wheelchair. But they have said his mind is still sharp.
Grahams 95th birthday party, held Nov. 7 at the Omni Grove Park Inn, drew more than 800 people, including several celebrities. Among them: former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, real estate tycoon Donald Trump, TV host Kathie Lee Gifford, pastor-author Rick Warren, musician Ricky Skaggs and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
In connection with his 95th birthday, the one-time pastor to presidents and globe-trotting evangelist also offered what could be his final public message in a 28-minute video.
In The Cross video, Graham called for a new spiritual awakening in America. The video has now been shown on the Fox News network, on about 500 local TV stations and in the homes of members of more than 25,000 churches around the country.

Financial Toolbox
Financial Toolbox provides a comprehensive suite of portfolio optimization and analysis tools for performing capital allocation, asset allocation, and risk assessment. With these tools, you can:
The portfolio optimization object provides a simplified interface for defining and solving portfolio optimization problems that include descriptive metadata. You can specify a portfolio name, the number of assets in an asset universe, and asset identifiers. Additionally, you can define an initial portfolio allocation.
The toolbox supports two approaches to portfolio optimization:
Supported constraints include: linear inequality, linear equality, bound, budget, group, group ratio, average turnover, and one-way turnover.
Additionally, you can work with transaction costs in the portfolio optimization problem definition. You apply transaction costs on either gross or net portfolio return optimization. Transaction costs can be proportional or fixed, and they are incorporated as units of total return.
The portfolio optimization object provides error checking during the portfolio construction phase. For complex problems defined with multiple constraints, validating your inputs to or outputs from the portfolio optimization can reduce error-checking time prior to solving the optimization problem. Methods to estimate bounds and check problem feasibility are available.
Depending on your goals, you can identify efficient portfolios or efficient frontiers. The portfolio optimization object provides methods for both. You can solve for efficient portfolios by providing one or more target risks or returns.
To obtain optimal portfolios on the efficient frontier, you can
Additionally, you can model long-short portfolios with or without turnover constraints.
After you identify a portfolio's risk and return, you can use the portfolio optimization object methods to:
The portfolio object supports the generation of a trade record as a dataset array. You can use the dataset array to keep track of purchases and sales of assets and to capture trades to execute.

New two-gallon planetary mixer design
March 13, 2006
New Double Planetary Mixer incorporates Teflon coated and patented "HV" blades, which enables the mixing of ultra-high viscosity formulations. The new blade design offers many other advantages including: design is capable of mixing products up to 8,000,000 cps; assists in the rapid incorporation of light and difficult to wet solids such as fumed silica; cleans the walls and bottom of the vessel during the mix cycle; the Teflon coating assists in fast cleaning between batches and color changes; eliminates climbing of viscous materials during the mix cycle; and produces a continuous, balanced mixing action, which eliminates amperage spikes and enables the mixer to handle extremely high viscosities.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, turning 40, looks ahead
Given Milwaukee's thriving theater scene, it's hard to imagine the landscape in 1975, when Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson launched the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre as what was then only the second year-round Milwaukee theater company — along with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — hiring Equity actors.
Under artistic director C. Michael Wright — to whom Davis handed the baton in 2005 — the Chamber is celebrating its 40th birthday with a five-play season titled "Something Old, Borrowed and New," in which past Chamber hits will share the stage with new plays. It all gets underway with "Master Class," a collaboration with Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Carroll University beginning Aug. 7. »Read Full Article

Reading the John Updike stories: 'The Stare"
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's "John Updike: The Collected Stories" each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
"The Stare" continues a spate of stories Updike wrote circa 1962 concerning the fallout from a man's adulterous affair and the near breakup of his marriage. The excellent "Solitaire" and "Leaves," which I wrote about over the past few weeks, focus on the man's emotional agony. Lighter in tone, "The Stare" captures that experience of being haunted by the memory of a person one no longer sees, that experience stretched to an almost ridiculous point in this story. »Read Full Blog Post

Freehold Township Police arrested a Colts Neck man and charged him with stealing, forgery, and fraud, following multiple summer incidents.
Robert Hanna, 44, faces a total of eight charges after he allegedly stole prescription blanks from the Freehold Borough CVS and Little Silver Walgreens and used the stolen scripts to obtain prescription drugs.
According to Hanna's complaint warrant, on June 18, July 23, and Sept. 25, Hanna forged the stolen prescription blanks from the Freehold Borough CVS and used them to obtain Adderall. On June 12, July 30, Aug. 13, and Sept. 20, Hanna also allegedly used the stolen prescription blanks from the Little Silver Walgreens to fraudulently obtain Adderall.
On Sept. 26, Freehold Township Police found Hanna in possession of a burglary tool, a small black hammer, and large locking blade knife, for which he had no legitimate purpose.
Since April, Hanna has been arrested and charged on separate occasions with the burglaries of St. Catharine's Church in Holmdel, St. James Catholic Church in Red Bank, and charged with a personal theft from a woman in Howell.
Hanna has been remanded for the CVS burglary to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution (MCCI) on $32,000 bail for all eight charges.

My research interests are in the areas of biological control and tritrophic level interactions. One of my goals is to increase our understanding of tritrophic interactions occurring in managed systems. Knowing how plants influence both the pest insects and biological control agents will allow us to improve our pest management strategies. One area of work focuses on the influence of plant morphological variation on the control of pea aphid by its complex of predators and parasitoids. I am taking advantage of pea lines that possess single gene mutations that drastically alter the shape of leaves and stipules. Previous work had shown that variation in plant morphology can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of coccinellid predators. Recent efforts have studied the influence of plant morphology on the occurrence of intraguild predation (IGP) between coccinellid and lacewing insect predators. Experiments tested the hypothesis that coccinellids foraging on morphologically complex plants will have better survival rates from IGP by lacewings. To test this idea, three near-isogenic lines of the garden pea that differed in leaf shape were utilized. Results so far show that coccinellids survive from potential IGP by lacewings in greater proportions when they forage in the most complex plants. Variation in plant morphology influences predator efficacy and it can also influence the frequency of IGP encounters. One given morphological trait may have diverging effects on the predator. For example, the more complex aftl (parsley) pea leaf structure hampers coccinellid predation efficacy but this leaf structure may also enhance coccinellid survival when intraguild predators are present.
Other lines of work deal with management of insect pests of turf and ornamental plants. Specifically, I have begun research evaluating the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae against Japanese and Oriental beetles which are important pests of ornamentals and turf. I am also interested in developing more information about insect natural enemies of the Japanese and Oriental beetles. To this end, a recent project determined the presence and seasonal occurrence of the parasitoid wasp Tiphia vernalis which was released in Connecticut back in the early 1930's for Japanese beetle control.

Influence of variation in plant morphology on insect predator efficacy
My current research efforts focus on the influence of plant morphological variation on the control of pea aphid by its complex of predators and parasitoids. I am taking advantage of pea lines that possess single gene mutations that drastically alter the shape of leaves and stipules. By using near-isogenic lines I can control, as much as possible, other non-morphological factors such as phytochemicals and surface waxes. I have shown that changes in plant morphology did not influence the performance of the pea aphid. Subsequent research tested the hypothesis that predator efficacy should decrease as plant complexity increased. For experiments, we used near-isogenic pea lines that could be ranked from low to high complexity. Indeed, we obtained support for our hypothesis but it appears that predators have an idiosyncratic response to plant complexity. While foraging by ladybird beetle adults and larvae (Coccinella septempunctata) is hampered by increases in plant complexity, lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla rufilabris) are less affected.
In addition to exploring the effect on plant complexity, I have also studied how two other plant morphological traits influence the foraging success of coccinellid and chrysopid predators. For example, we found that the reduced stipule trait enhances predation on pea aphids and this is a trait that could be easily incorporated into pea cultivars with, presumably, no agronomic disadvantages. I hope to continue field investigations on the advantages of this morphological character. Currently, we are working on the influence of plant complexity on the intraguild interactions of pea aphid predators and parasitoids.

The Grassroots Movement to Change the Nation's Public Restroom Laws
Over a million people suffer from inflammatory bowel disease. It may be time to rethink bathroom access.
When Lisa Bain first noticed the look of pain and horror on her daughter Ally's face, she didn't need to ask her what was the matter. The two were shopping in an Old Navy outside of Chicago, and Ally, then 14, had suffered from Crohn's disease for nearly three years.
Few people will ever understand the fear and anxiety someone with Crohn's feels at the thought of appearing in a public place while in the throes of a flare up. An immune disorder, Crohn's (and similar diseases like ulcerative colitis) is characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bleeding.
While in the midst of a flare up, a person with IBD may have to use the bathroom upwards of 30 times a day. As the gastrointestinal tract becomes more inflamed, he or she is unable to control the bowels for more than a few minutes at most. In some cases, it can be less than 60 seconds.
[READ: Lower Risk of Surgery Than Thought for Kids With Crohn's]
"Most people who have inflammatory bowel disease can always point to where the restrooms are," says Ally, now 22. "They know which restrooms are nice ones, even though when you have to use one you don't even care anymore what the facilities are like. A lot of people can map out exactly where those restrooms are within seconds after arriving somewhere. Many times people won't go somewhere unless they know where the restrooms are located ahead of time."
So after the sharp pains began needling Ally's abdomen, both she and her mother knew she had mere moments to get to the bathroom. Lisa quickly tracked down a fitting room employee and asked him where the customer restrooms were, to which he replied with a phrase every IBD sufferer dreads: "no public restroom."
Hearing those three words brought Ally from a state of anxiety to one of outright panic. As anyone who has IBD knows, the near-constant fear of humiliation is perhaps the worst aspect of the disease, worse even than the physical symptoms. For a girl like Ally, who was two months shy of starting her freshman year of high school, the idea of a life full of such humiliations was terrifying.
"I was at that point in my life when a lot of people are trying to figure out who they are, and yet I'm still battling with whether I can get to the restroom in time," Ally recalls. "So it really makes you challenge that self identity concept because I felt so helpless."
[SEE: Best Bathrooms in the United States]
Lisa, not ready to give up without a fight, asked the employee to flag down his manager. Ally, by now hunched over in pain, watched with welling tears in her eyes as the manager walked slowly over to them. When he arrived, Lisa explained her daughter had Crohn's and needed to use the employee restroom. After claiming he knew what the disease was, he said Ally wouldn't be permitted to use the store restroom -- he was making a "managerial decision." He then suggested they cross a four-lane highway to use a restroom in another store.
Within moments, Ally lost what little control of her bowels she had and soiled herself.
"It's still very scarring," she says. "For so long I fought for it not to define me or beat me, and then at that moment I felt like it had."
Lisa was seething in anger. When they returned to their car, she made a solemn promise to Ally: this would never happen to her or anyone else again.
Though that store manager may never know it, by denying Ally use of the bathroom he triggered a chain of events leading to a nationwide movement aimed at reforming state bathroom policies. In the eight years since, 13 states have passed laws forcing businesses to offer access to restrooms for those suffering from both bowel and bladder control problems. Many refer to it by the same name: Ally's Law
Why has support for these reforms suddenly exploded? Dr. James Lewis, a professor of medicine and clinical epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania, says the rise of autoimmune diseases has reached "epidemic" proportions.

County school administrators were in Pinecrest Thursday night to provide to talk to parents about plans to improve school facilities in Southeast Miami-Dade.
County voters agreed in November to allow the school district to borrow up to $1.2 billion to repair and upgrade school buildings and install new technology.
Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Assistant Superintendent Helen Blanch, Chief Facilities Officer Jaime Torrens, and School Board member Larry Feldman were at Palmetto Middle School as part of a series of meetings to talk with parents about bond-funded projects. About 600 people attended.
The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. on May 13 at Coral Gables High School, 450 Bird Road.
"Today is about ensuring promises are kept," said Carvalho, who has been going to each of the community meetings.
He reviewed the bond's "eight guiding principles", out of which he emphasized the most critical were: updating every school with wireless capability, enhancing security and surveillance equipment, and establishing a vigilant oversight committee.
"Up to a couple of years ago, we recognized that out of 450 schools only about 20 were wirelessly connected," said Carvalho, adding that technology updates in every school is the most important element of the bond, and schools will see those changes first.
Doris Carpenter, a resident of South Miami Heights and mother of one child at Cutler Ridge Elementary, said her school needs digital whiteboards and new computers.
"They can't succeed if they don't have everything that they need because they can't compete," said Carpenter. "They're sort of left behind."
Within the first year, at least 70,000 new computers and tablets will be brought into Miami-Dade classrooms, according to Assistant Superintendent Blanch.
Carvalho repeatedly emphasized the promises made during campaigning would not change, but rather, he and the school board would exceed them.
Contrary to the original bond agreement that stated every school in the county would be impacted in six to seven years, with projects totaling $200 million per year, Carvalho announced for the first time that the county will be speeding up some of the money, shortening the time of completion to four to five years.
"We were able to do this by leveraging low interest rates that were bound to go up through Bank of America," said Carvalho.
According to Facilities Officer Torrens, there are 46 projects for Feldman's District 9, in South Miami-Dade. Sixty percent of these projects will begin during the first phase of implementation. They include interior and exterior renovations, HVAC work and security.
