During the twentieth century, black Greek-Letter organizations (BGLOs) united college students dedicated to excellence, fostered kinship, and uplifted African Americans. Members of these organizations include remarkable and influential individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr., Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, novelist Toni Morrison, and Wall Street pioneer Reginald F. Lewis. Despite the profound influence of these groups, many now question the continuing relevance of BGLOs, arguing that their golden age has passed. Partly because of their perceived link to hip-hop culture, black fraternities and sororities have been unfairly reduced to a media stereotype—a world of hazing without any real substance.
The general public knows very little about BGLOs, and surprisingly the members themselves often do not have a thorough understanding of their history and culture or of the issues currently facing their organizations. To foster a greater engagement with the history and contributions of BGLOs, Black Greek-Letter Organizations in the Twenty-first Century: Our Fight Has Just Begun brings together an impressive group of authors to explore the contributions and continuing possibilities of BGLOs and their members.
Editor Gregory S. Parks and the contributing authors provide historical context for the development of BGLOs, exploring their service activities as well as their relationships with other prominent African American institutions. The book examines BGLOs' responses to a number of contemporary issues, including non-black membership, homosexuality within BGLOs, and the perception of BGLOs as educated gangs. As illustrated by the organized response of BGLO members to the racial injustice they observed in Jena, Louisiana, these organizations still have a vital mission.
Both internally and externally, BGLOs struggle to forge a relevant identity for the new century. Internally, these groups wrestle with many issues, including hazing, homophobia, petty intergroup competition, and the difficulty of bridging the divide between college and alumni members. Externally, BGLOs face the challenge of rededicating themselves to their communities and leading an aggressive campaign against modern forms of racism, sexism, and other types of fear-driven behavior. By embracing the history of these organizations and exploring their continuing viability and relevance, Black Greek-Letter Organizations in the Twenty-first Century demonstrates that BGLOs can create a positive and enduring future and that their most important work lies ahead.

…Our Fight Has Just Begun is a must read for anyone interested in the future of BGLOs, generally, or their own! –Sylvia Cyrus-Albitron, Executive Director, Association for the Study of African American Life and History
Comprehensive and thorough in its scholarship, Black Greek Letter Organizations in the Twenty-First Century … is a must read for members of the organizations, prospective members, the general public, and especially for student service personnel. –Robert L. Harris, Jr., Vice Provost and Professor of History and Africana Studies at Cornell University, and co-editor of The Columbia Guide to African American History Since 1939
… More than a history of the "divine nine," Our Fight Has Just Begun guides the reader through 21st century of Black Greekdom... Can the fight be won? The authors are plainly honest in this smart, engaged scholarship about what it will take for BGLOs to remain contributory and relevant.
–Robin Means Coleman, Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Afro-American and African Studies at the University of Michigan
As recently as fifteen years ago, the body of critical scholarship on Black Greek Letter Organizations was negligible. And yet at various points in history, these organizations have played seminal roles in the African American freedom struggle. Now, with the appearance of … Our Fight Has Just Begun, Gregory S. Parks and other contributors have stepped into this breach with an ambitious collection of essays. –Kenneth R. Janken, Professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and author of Rayford W. Logan and the Dilemma of the African-American Intellectual
In the history of American fraternal orders and college fraternities, African-American contributions have long been overlooked. Dr. Parks has successfully organized a distinguished group of scholars and writers who have created a book that fills this oversight… –Mark A. Tabbert, Director of Collections, George Washington Masonic National Memorial, and author of American Freemasons: Three Centuries of Building Communities
This work is incisive as to the actions Black Greek Letter Organization's research can examine; scholarship is a critical need in our community and has a chance to be achieved with some guidance and inspiration from our groups. We commend the writers for their in depth comments and thoughts and for a retelling of the history of these important groups. –Cornell Leverette Moore, Grand Sire Archon of Sigma Pi Phi
As a fraternity man, I thought there was very little left for me to learn about the Greek experience. [Our Fight Has Just Begun] proved me terribly wrong. It's a must-read, must-have and the most comprehensive examination of Black Greekculture in print today.–Derek Fordjour, Artist/Producer, The Black Sorority Project
Our Fight Has Just Begun is a masterpiece of multidisciplinary scholarship that clearly demonstrates the contemporary relevance of black fraternities and sororities by critically examining their remarkable history and thoroughly analyzing their present-day problems. It lays the groundwork for a fertile new field of scholarly inquiry and is a must read for anyone interested in African American culture and community. –Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Assistant Professor of History and The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University
… In assembling an impressive range of scholars, research methodologies, and disciplinary frameworks, Gregory Parks has given this under-researched topic the level of critical attention that it deserves. In particular, the contributors reject purely romantic or cynical postures in favor of theoretically sophisticated and personally informed investigations into the contours, complexities, and contradictions of BGLOs. This volume will stand as a central text for anyone interested in the rich legacy and vibrant future of Black sororities and fraternities. –Marc Lamont Hill, Assistant Professor of Urban Education & American Studies at Temple University
Gregory Parks' latest contribution to the documentation and analysis of historically black fraternities and sororities should be celebrated and widely read. The impact of these groups on African-American and mainstream American life in the 20th century must be understood. And Our Fight Has Just Begun will offer considerable insight into their unique histories, challenges and modern-day issues. –C. Brian Williams, Founder and Executive Director, Step Afrika!

Consumer Sentiment Hits 6-Year High
Americans are feeling comfortable now, but the future is weighing on their minds.
Improving consumer sentiment can signal that more economic growth is ahead.
A popular consumer sentiment index jumped to its highest level in six years in July. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index came in at 85.1, the organizations reported Friday. The reading beats consensus estimates of 84.0 and July's preliminary reading of 83.9.
Because the consumer sentiment index is based on surveys asking people how they feel about the economy, it's hard to know exactly what factors are driving it upward. However, the latest readout may be a sign that Americans are feeling the effects of an improving labor market. In June, employers reported adding 195,000 jobs, according to the Labor Department, a figure that surprised analysts.
[READ: New Jobless Claims Jump 7,000, But Still Improving Slowly]
"Not only has job growth been good, but it's beat [Wall Street] estimates of it. That could lead people to think things are better," says James Marple, senior economist at TD Economics.
Not only is an improving consumer sentiment index a sign that the economy has been improving; it can signal that more economic growth is ahead.
"Ongoing improvement [in consumer sentiment] is a good leading indicator that spending acceleration will continue," says Marple.
Then again, Americans also seem nervous about the future. The survey also measures two other components: consumers' estimations of current and future economic conditions. Americans' views of current conditions posted healthy growth, from 93.8 to 98.6, but the expectations index fell slightly, from 77.8 to 76.5.
Currently, the index is in a place it had last seen in July 2007, when it hit 90.4, before taking a fast tumble precipitated by the financial crisis. In the depths of the crisis, in late 2008, the index hit a low of 55.3.
[ALSO: New Home Sales Hit 5-Year High]
Though it's exciting to hear that consumer sentiment is at a six-year high, it's also important to remember that consumers' opinions are subjective. The economic crisis may have recalibrated how Americans view the economy, meaning that a reading of 85 now is not the same as an 85 in 2007, just as the economy is in nowhere near the same place as it was in 2007.
"What's more important to look at right now is it's moving up, rather than comparing it to previous levels," he says.

Some of our favorite reviews
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHROME BACK PACK AGAIN.........I can tell this one will last forever!5/21/13 by CCUpgrading from a North Face bag that has failed me. The stitching is precise and strong, material is top notch and it feels great to buy american made. The Orlov is "the smallest" but will easily fit everything a North Face Jester will and probably more. The rolltop design gives me confidence that all my stuff will stay dry.
Orlov Review4/26/13 by AaronThe Orlov is a great day bag. I have used this for when my girlfriend and I go on day trips or bike rides to the beach. I've thrown a bottle of wine in there and I was totally confident that even if the bottle leaked or broke that liquid would stay in the waterproofed seamed sealed main compartment. Over the weekend I went to China Camp State Park for a 4 hour hike. The Orlov held my hoodie, a long-sleeve shirt, girlfriend's change of clothes, water bottle, camera, sunscreen, sunglasses, knife, and a lighter. Totally stoked on this smaller version of our roll-tops.
First rolltop I've ever met with visibility!4/26/13 by AlexAs a long time messenger bag-user I have been eye-ing the rolltop packs for ages. The problem always was that as a 5'7" girl, my shoulder and ribcage were always narrower than the bag was designed for. Early rolltop packs stuck up outboard of my shoulder, and changing lanes became a new kind of terrifying. (Burrito delivery is a great way to test bags btw.) Smaller, cuter backpacks were not up to the challenge of my daily haul. When the Orlov came out I was super excited. My Chrome Metropolis bag has been faithful for many years, but my left shoulder and my various vertebrae have been dying for a change. The new rolltop is everything I hoped it would be. I have always loved the Chrome quality of craftmanship, and here it is in a rolltop pack that I can fit all my daily stuff in AND see around in traffic! True, the new visbility line and bag shape took a few days of getting used to, but my shoulder and I are pleased as punch with the results. Thanks Chrome!

I love what Hollywood could be, but I must say that I don't love what it is. I can't accept that while my daily life is filled with black and brown women, they are completely absent, erased, when I look at a TV or movie screen.
We now live in a time in which Beyonce has made "bootylicious" a compliment, Jennifer Lopez is twerking, Meghan Trainor claims to be "bringing booty back," and Kim Kardashian is called hot for her selfies.

President Obama can -- and must -- fix the policy of turning women away in the extreme cases of life-endangering pregnancies or those resulting from rape. Until Congress does the right thing and overturns the harmful law in its entirety, he can take a first step to ensure that U.S. programs are part of the solution, not the problem.
There is little reason to believe that the widely held claim that black and Latino students enter selective universities as comparatively inferior students will not cease to rear its ugly head. It is a pervasive stereotype that minority students must face from matriculation to graduation.
No matter how well you're managing your money now, you need to also be thinking about retirement. (Yes, even if you're only 25 or 30.) The good news is it's never too early to start planning for your retirement. It's also never too late, if you've been slacking up to this point.

Human beings sometimes have a troubling inability to hold two thoughts in mind at the same time -- not only when the two thoughts contradict each other but even when they simply appear to be in conflict with each other but actually aren't. And nowhere is there a greater need for us to get past this tendency than when discussing the ongoing war on drugs. It should be possible to say that, as a first step toward ending this shameful chapter in our country's history, we should continue with the movement toward the decriminalization of marijuana. And we should also be able to say that as we decriminalize, we should take every step possible to minimize the harm, since there is scientific evidence of the dangers of pot on adolescents and young adults. So as we move toward legalization, let's put the science front and center.

The Democratic slate for Camden County freeholder easily defeated their Republican challengers Tuesday, keeping the county's governing body all Democratic.
Incumbents Jeffrey Nash (116,969 votes) and Ian Leonard (110,586) joined newcomer and current Gloucester Township Councilwoman Michelle Gentek (113,045) in declaring victory.
Republicans received roughly half of those votes in this blue-colored county. The vote totals are: Jim Pearce (58,697), Ian Gill (53,286) and Eugene Lawrence (52,211).
All vote totals are unofficial until certified officials. Because of Hurricane Sandy's effects on the state, all mail-in ballots must be accepted until Friday at 8 p.m., although the wide margins of votes make it highly unlikely that the freeholder race's outcome will change.
Camden County also went blue for other races:
Barack Obama/Joe Biden (D): 136,009
Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan (R): 62,275

Network Registration
- Remote Scan: This year we are happy to launch "Remote Scan," a site where students can pre-screen personally owned computers to verify that they meet the security requirements for access to Loyola's network. Please click here for more information so you'll bypass the lines at ResNet's drop-in clinics and be ready to connect to Loyola's network your first day on campus
- REGISTER NOW: Please select the campus you are currently on (must be on campus to complete), registrations will carry over if you travel between campus. Once you select the campus, please follow the instructions to register your personal technology device(s).
- WHAT IS LOYOLA NETREG? Every new device connecting to the network via wired or wireless must be registered. Registrations are maintained for 120 days or for 14 days of inactivity, which ever comes first. The following are the five most commonly asked questions regarding Loyola's Netreg.
How does it work? The Network Access Control (NAC) system provides a small program that is run on your computer. If the program detects that your system is not up to the appropriate standards, you will not be allowed on the network until you fix the identified problems with your system. If your system meets requirements, the program erases itself after it is run.
- What standards does it look for? The NAC program checks to make sure that you are running a current operating system, that you have installed important security patches, and that you are not running certain peer-to-peer software programs. If you are using a Windows Operating System, it also checks that you are running anti-virus software with up-to-date anti-virus definitions.
What is Network Access Control? Network Access Control (NAC) is a way to control what devices are allowed on Loyola's network. This ensures that Loyola's network is used to serve the University's instructional, research, health care, administrative and public service missions.
Why does it check for peer-to-peer software programs? Please refer to the University Information Security Office and their policies on peer-to-peer software.

There's been chatter about Google having done some type of algorithm update this week that's having an impact on rankings. Now it's finally confirmed, a new change meant to allow more domains to appear in search results.
The head of Google's spam fighting team Matt Cutts tweeted this about it:
Just fyi, we rolled out a small algo change this week that improves the diversity of search results in terms of different domains returned.
Lately, more and more people have been noting that Google's search results can sometimes be dominated by pages that all come from the same domain. In other words, do a search, and all the listings seem to come from the same web site.
Here's an example of this from last month, when we wrote about the problem:
If the new change was designed to correct this, so far for the search shown above, it's had no impact. The results today are still dominated by the same time.
However, in other cases, perhaps it is helping allow more variety in web sites being shown in a search. We'll update as we get more information.

Every once in awhile it's necessary to indulge in a li'l treat, whether it's the chocolate-encrusted doughnut you cut out of your diet months ago or a luxurious day at the spa. Yet when we indulge, we often forget about our poor hair, which we subject to heat styling, chemical-laden products and dyeing more often than not. There are a million different ways we can damage our hair, whether it's from a weekly swim or just being out in the sun unprotected. So what's hair's version of a chocolate-encrusted doughnut topped with sprinkles? A regular dose of one of these intensive treatments that are guaranteed to leave you with healthy hair. See products
Rebecca Brown has suffered from trichotillomania for the past six years. The trichotillomania causes her to want to compulsively pull out her hair. Some pull it out in clumps from their bodies, but Rebecca pulls it out from her head.

I'll admit it -- I'm a busy lady, which means I typically don't wash and dry my hair every morning. And when I do, it's always a long, arduous process full of waiting, heating, and styling. Which is why I don't know what I ever did before the invention of dry shampoos. Talk about an absolute game changer. See products

If a little bit is good, then a lot must be better, right? Not when it comes to your beauty products. According to experts, the products we use on a daily basis adhere to the Goldilocks principle.

So -- you just walked out of the salon with your freshly dyed hair. It's vibrant, it's shiny, it's beautiful and you love it. But then, day after day in the shower your pricey, gorgeous hair color starts swirling down the drain. Not pretty. So what's a girl to do? One word: condition. Okay, let's make it three words: color-protecting conditioner. Using quality hair care products is honestly all it takes -- well that and staying out of the sun (which you should be doing anyway). Since coloring hair too often can damage your tresses (not to mention put a fat dent in your wallet), you need to make your color last as long as possible. The way to do this is by using hair care products that will lock in color and prevent fading. See products

Hair Care Information and Advice
If you're like most women, then you're concerned about the appearance of your hair, and will do what it takes to take care of it. Starting now, it's time to banish dull and dry hair from your life, and take better care of your hair to get lustrous locks that will turn heads. To help you, Total Beauty offers you expert tips on hair care for shiny, glossy hair.
If your hair is in good condition and is healthy, then your hair care regime will only need a few tweaks to keep your tresses looking great. One way to have healthy hair is to maintain a healthy lifestyle; your mane will be in better condition, naturally. Your daily diet should include plenty of water, as well as lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Opt for grilled or baked dishes rather than fried food, and limit your intake of cola or coffee, which have excess caffeine.
Perming, bleaching, or coloring frequently cause damage to your hair as they strip the shaft of its natural oils. Experts say that hair should have at least eight percent moisture for it to look silky and shiny. Using products meant for chemically treated hair can protect your tresses and make them look smooth and glossy.
Look through Total Beauty's hair care section to discover great secrets for gorgeous locks. Total Beauty offers some of the best hair care advice on the web, so you can have great hair all the time.

On Friday I had received a phone call from a plumbing subcontractor. A subcontractor that I have been dealing with for years.
While speaking with him it was brought to my attention that a homeowner was in the process of building a new construction home. During the process the General Contractor already built the structure and had many of the fundamentals completed. The only problem was that the few subcontractors had yet to be paid for the job(s) they performed.
The very next day, Glen and I met with the homeowner and found out that the GC walked out on the job. The man was extremely nice, yet he was promised to be in his home by this week. The last 3 months nothing was done and no promises were kept. That being said I took down the name of the General Contractor, spoke to a couple of subcontractors and to my surprise I found out some very interesting information.
1. The General Contractor put his name as being in charge of all the jobs for the home being built. Which means that the title company was under the impression he was doing all the work. The checks were not cut out to the subcontractors as protocol. The General received all the money to disburse as he sought to be fit.
2. Several subcontractors called and wanted to be paid out for the job since they completed most all the work. Usually subcontractors are paid out in the beginning to cover partial labor and materials. The GC had explained to the subcontractors (I had spoken with) that the Homeowner was being extremely hard to deal with and wanted so many extras for free and that was the reason why they were not getting paid due to the extra amenities and the main reason why he walked out on the job.
3. I had received the name and location of the General Contractor that was in charge of doing the work and... SURPRISE! Absolutely no listing at all on the internet of the said General Contractor that I could find anywhere in the Lake County area or surrounding.
4. The Homeowner was referred by the Reality Company to do the work for the Homeowner and existing lots that are available to build. Extremely disappointing when you trust in your Real Estate Agent and this is the kind of out come you get?
This particular situation upset me, especially working side by side with a General Contractor such as Glen Gorsline, as I assist in overlooking the jobs to completion. I felt to write this article because this is the exact reason why General Contractors are given a bad name along with negative reputation. With the list above, I would like to clarify and deliver you some information if your ever decide to remodel, build a home, or add on to your house.
1. A GC is to obtain permits and list ALL subcontractors that are performing the work. Especially when it goes through a title company and big payouts are given. It guarantees their payout and the money goes to them for the job. If a GC puts their name down as being in charge of everything, they get the money and the subcontractor risks getting nothing.
2. When a GC makes up excuses throwing the Homeowner under the bus, it's called a blame game and not taking responsibility for their mistake. When I spoke to the contractor in charge of the HVAC work and the reason I heard why he wasn't being paid, I question, what do the "extra amenities" the homeowner requests (if that is to be true) have anything to do with the actual necessity a home needs?
A home needs plumbing, heating, A/C (if you like to live in comfort... hehe) and electrical along with other things such as carpentry etc. Those were the items these hard working individuals are supposed to be paid out on no matter what the issue is with the homeowner and GC.
3. No matter what it is you hear from a referral... Check References! Research the company online to make sure they are who they say. Find out how long the company has been in business. See if the have a website. Not only up-to-date photos but photos that are also taken from over the years. Word of mouth goes a long way.
Testimonials are a good thing to ask the GC to produce. What affiliations is the GC associated with? It goes a long way. Stay away from "buddies" and friends of friends. Anyone who is your friend will refer another friend to do work just to get them business. Yet if they have a great name and you can check references and get the same positive results, then be my guest.
Then again, sometimes that can cause problems down the road and it may be something to think twice about. Make sure when finding a GC, ask about the longevity the subcontractors have working for them. It is very important you have a team of people that can work together well. It makes for a smooth sail when the job is being done.
After my dealing with the situation, I found the homeowner to be a down to earth individual who trusted in the General Contractor he hired. There was no difficulty or pettiness going on regarding the GC and the negative attitude the homeowner had. It was all about the excuses the GC had made to walk off the job and pocket the money leaving the client to go out on his own to find someone he can trust to making sure the job gets done.
The unfortunate thing about this entire situation is that there are great subcontractors that have almost completed their job and have not received their money for all the hard work they put into this home. With Gorsline into this project, it will be a work in progress working with the extended companies that assisted in monies to build this home to making sure we are able to come in and complete this job in making this homeowner happy and subcontractors compensated for what they have lost. I can't wait to blog about the end result
Some homeowners choose to hire subcontractors to do the job and that is another area that can be considered. At times it can be successful. Then again at times when a sub-contractor goes to do a bid, not all sub contractors figure in what needs to be done yet they forget to add certain odds and ends which in turn can boost up the cost to what you "the homeowner" thought was a reasonable bid. Then who takes the hit? The homeowner.
When signing any proposal, make sure that it is clarified it is the responsibility of the contractor to take the hit of the work that was missed if it was included in the bid and not figured into the signed off proposal. That can also be a conflict down the road. Things need to be done carefully if you are in charge of your own job(s) with all T's crossed and I's dotted.
Many Homeowners find that a GC can be a tad higher in price than having to do the job on their own or many subcontractors involved to be in charge. But when we look at the big picture, in the long run it actually is a money saver and the job done at hand will be a "job done right". When a GC comes a bit higher on their proposal, keep in mind that the GC is running the entire job for you, the homeowner.
It creates less stress, and the GC is able to make sure that the subcontractors are doing things in a timely fashion. A GC obtains all permits, schedules the tasks in order of and if any bumps are in the road, the homeowner is not part of the picture to deal with the burden. The GC is in charge of the process. In addition, when a GC proposes a job and a homeowner signs off on the proposal, and the General Contractor has already figured in the amount including the materials and labor for the job that needs to be done, the GC is the one who takes the hit on the error that was made if the proposal was signed and a dollar amount for the project was missed. Less hassle for the homeowner. Again, the General Contractor responsibility.
When a General Contractor as I mentioned above complains they can't pay a subcontractor for work they have already completed, or near to completion and comes up with excuses that "the homeowner wanted extras", that is where change orders come in to play and revisions are made with the subcontractor to perform the extra work. Not the existing work that was already proposed and signed off. I can't stress that anymore than I already have.
Please feel free to contact us at, 847-362-1732 if you should have any questions or feel free to leave a comment.
Here is an article I came across that was similar to some of the things I mentioned and other tips to think about before taking that big step... ENJOY!

Butler was a four-time Pro Bowler for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was voted all-NFL three times and was one of two defensive halfbacks on the NFL's all-decade team for the 1950s.
The St. Bonaventure alum played on only two winning teams and never appeared in the postseason, but -- for a franchise loaded with Super Bowl champion defensive stars -- Butler was one of only 16 defensive players to make the Steelers' 75th anniversary team of 2007.
Yet when I asked Buffalo Bills assistant general manager Doug Whaley if Butler made a bigger impact on the game as a player or a scout, the answer wasn't easy.
Whaley whistled while mulling the question.
"I'd say as a scout," said Whaley, a Pittsburgh native who came from the Steelers organization.
Butler, 85, died this morning in Pittsburgh from heart failure. He also had been battling a staph infection in his left leg since November, son John Butler told The Buffalo News.
Butler was executive director of BLESTO, an influential co-op scouting service founded in the 1960s. It stood for the Bears, Lions, Eagles, Steelers Talent Organization. The office was located on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh and became the proving grounds for future NFL scouts and executives.
Among those Butler mentored were Steelers GM Kevin Colbert, Steelers college scouting director Ron Hughes, Saints college scouting director Rick Reiprish, former Bills president Tom Donahoe, former Bills college scouting chief Tom Modrak and former Steelers and Jets personnel director Dick Haley.
"What he would do is get local high school coaches to come in as interns and teach them about scouting," Whaley said. "He harvested a lot of the scouts of today. There's a major contingent of former Pittsburgh high school coaches that came up through BLESTO and went on to prominence."
Butler intercepted 52 passes for the Steelers. That was second all-time when he retired and ranks 26th today, even though seasons lasted only 12 games back then. He had 10 interceptions in 1957, when teams threw 23 times a game. Nobody has intercepted more than 10 passes in a season since 1981.
As fantastic as his play was on the field, his presence will be felt longer in front offices around the league than on grainy NFL footage.
"If you look at Jack Butler's tree, it's still reaching out farther today," Whaley said. "I could say I'm one of those branches because I started under Tom Donahoe and cut my teeth under Kevin Colbert.
"His impact lives on. He's one of the forefathers of this business."

A man being held in the Tuesday robbery of an Avenel gas station may be the same robber who held up another Avenel gas station back in December.
Woodbridge police arrested Arthur Allen Montague, 27, of Avenel on suspicion of the armed robbery of the BP gas station on Route 1 South on January 15 at 8:13 pm.
Police said a white male wearing a black hoodie pulled down around his face appeared at the BP station and confronted the attendant while holding a knife on him. The robber demanded all the attendant's money, plus two cartons of cigarettes grabbed from a box on the floor.
The suspect, police said, grabbed a white cordless phone and fled in an apparent attempt to keep the gasoline station attendant from calling for help. The attendant wasn't injured in the robbery.
An immediate search of the area brought police to Montague's door, which was at City Motel on Route 1 where he resides, just down the road from the BP station he robbed. The cigarettes and money was found nearby.
A further investigation resulted in Montague being charged in the December 19, 2012 holdup of a Fuel One gas station, also located on Route 1 in Avenel.
Montague was charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of possession of a weapon, and two counts of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
He was transported to the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Facility in North Brunwick, where he is being held on $40,000 bail with no 10 percent option.

Found January 22, 2013 on Fox Sports Arizona:
PLAYERS: Lindsey Hunter, Alvin Gentry, Dan Majerle, Lance Blanks, DeMarcus Cousins, Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown
TEAMS: Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers
TEAMS: Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers
The Phoenix Suns own the worst record in the Western Conference, so they're hoping a coaching change can provide a jolt. The Sacramento Kings aren't much better, and their potential changes include packing their bags. Lindsey Hunter will make his coaching debut as the Suns attempt to win for just the third time in over a month Wednesday night when they visit the Kings. Phoenix (13-28) seems to be on its way to a third consecutive season out of the playoffs after losing 13 of 15 since a season-high four-game winning streak, falling to the bottom of the West. Those woes continued with Thursday's 98-94 loss to Milwaukee, a defeat that resulted in coach Alvin Gentry and the club mutually agreeing to part ways. That was the initial move in a shakeup that also has seemingly led to the departure of assistants Dan Majerle and Elston Turner, who were among those interviewed to replace Gentry. Instead, it'll be Hunter - the team's player development director - at the helm for the remaining 41 games. "I think the simple answer is that the organization needed a jolt," general manager Lance Blanks said. "We needed something that would shock the system of us, the players, and risk trumps safety in this business. We felt this was the right person to take the risk on." Hunter spent 17 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2010, winning NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit. The three practices since his hiring have been longer than the ones Gentry ran. "I know these practices are a lot longer than they are accustomed to, but we've got a lot to get accomplished," Hunter said. "Like I told them, I don't watch the clock. I just watch what they do, and we have to work until we can't forget what we're supposed to do, not until we get it. We have to work until we can't forget it." The emphasis on defense may help the Suns since they give up an average of 104.1 points on 40.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc while going 3-17 on the road. "I'm a defensive guy," Hunter said. "That's the identity that we're going to try to create, is being a tough, nasty, defensive-minded team, and we'll go from there." The Kings (16-26) may be headed for an identity overhaul of their own, possibly relocating to Seattle and becoming the SuperSonics. While the move is still awaiting approval from NBA owners, Sacramento is making efforts to keep the team. The Kings are returning home for the first time since the Maloof family announced that they were selling their entire 65 percent share for 525 million to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen on Monday. Hours following that announcement, Sacramento fell 114-105 at New Orleans to lose for the sixth time in nine games. The Kings are allowing an average of 111.7 points in those defeats. DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and 13 rebounds against the Hornets, and is averaging 23.0 and 13.0 over the past five games. The center has 20.9 points per game and 9.6 boards over seven meetings with the Suns, but turned in one of his worst performances of the season against them in a 101-90 loss Dec. 17. Cousins finished with nine points and 10 rebounds while making only 1 of 10 attempts from the floor. That was Phoenix's fourth consecutive win in the series, and Jared Dudley is averaging 18.0 points over the past five meetings. The swingman had 20 points against the Kings last month, while Shannon Brown poured in 22 while sinking 10 of 13 from the floor. Brown, who averages 12.3 points, has totaled 41 over the last two games.

It's still unclear whether Sandy will be a devastating storm or just a bad one.
It is clear, however, that Sandy will be remembered as the storm that broke all the rules and baffled the nation's top weather forecasters.
Early Saturday morning, the National Weather Service downgraded the storm from a hurricane to a tropical storm — only to return it to hurricane status a few hours later. Either way, forecasters warn, "widespread impacts" are expected along the coast.

OOooh, Darling is nice!
I've always liked Underwood. I think it's handsome. Whenever I played the sims when I was a kid I'd use Underwood for their last name.

I love French Canadian surnames, for some reason. Especially the ones that end in "eau"/"eaux". Another French favourite is Levesque. I agree with Baudelaire; I love the sound of it too.
I also really like the surname Wetherall/Weatherall. I have come across a couple of book characters with it and i love everything about it. Plus, the characters with it are some of my favourite fictional characters of all time.
My own name is a four syllable, hyphenated, ethnic name that no one, and I mean NO ONE, ever pronounces correctly, but I do appreciate its uniqueness, and wouldn't change it save for maybe going by one of the hyphenated names.~Izzy, looking for a new nickname

Ahhh, I totally have surname envy, and I'm so glad someone asked this question. My husband's surname and mine are both Anglicizations of (much more interesting) Norwegian names. Wish we were still Amundsen or Emmanuelsen.
Otherwise: I love the British surname Trevelyan. Or a couple of Irish surnames in my family tree: Carricko and Costelloe.

Birth Place: Hartford, Illinois, USA
TV western star Clint Walker was born Norman Eugene Walker along with his twin sister on May 30, 1927, in Hartford, Illinois. The tall, robust actor is famous for launching the western craze on television due to his role as Cheyenne Bodie in "Cheyenne." Prior to launching an acting career he held jobs as a sheet metal worker, nightclub bouncer, Mississippi River boatman and golf caddy. He joined the Merchant Marine at 17 and eventually wound up on the west coast. While working at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, many suggested his height (6'6") would be a great asset in Hollywood. In 1956 he was introduced to Cecil B. DeMille and landed a role in "The Ten Commandments." This led to his casting... Continue Bio >>

NORMAN — Humbling experiences have different effects on teams. Some shy from situations where their pride is truly put on the line. Others want a chance to redeem themselves.
Which side of the line Oklahoma falls on should be revealed at 3 p.m. today when it faces No. 3 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. It will be the season's first meeting between the programs, but it will mark the third time this season the Sooners have met a team that is considered elite.
The second was last Saturday's 69-60 loss to No. 11 Kansas State. The first, however, was Nov. 23 against No. 10 Gonzaga. The 72-47 loss to the Bulldogs was a learning experience in every sense.
"We talked about it afterwards and we just wanted to learn from it," OU forward Romero Osby said. "The one thing that we learned was that the elite teams are physical on both ends of the court, and they do a good job executing their sets and being hard and tough. We took all that from that game and we're a lot better now than we were then."
The Sooners (14-3, 4-1 Big 12) have shown signs of serious growth since that 25-point loss in Orlando, Fla. After all, they are in a three-way tie with Kansas State and Baylor for second place in the Big 12 Conference.
Nevertheless, if you want to be considered a serious contender in this league, you must be able to go toe-to-toe with the Jayhawks (17-1, 5-0).
OU found out in November it was nowhere near that level. Gonzaga exposed that early and often. There wasn't a facet of the game where OU wasn't bested. It was a mental and physical beating that some teams have a difficult time recovering from.
The Sooners did recover. In fact, they've been a better team since. There's been obvious growth in the time since. Junior forward Amath M'Baye and guards Buddy Hield, Je'lon Hornbeak and Isaiah Cousins will all play in their 18th game as Sooners today. The Gonzaga game was their fourth. Fourteen games put teams in a lot of situations and countless opportunities to grow.

ABC's political thriller starring Kerry Washington as a Beltway crisis manager returned for Season 3 Thursday with a series-best 10.5 million total viewers, according to Nielsen.
Maybe more important, the season premiere easily won its 10 p.m. time slot and was the second best-rated program of the night -- surpassed only by CBS' sitcom smash "The Big Bang Theory."
PHOTOS: Leading ladies of the fall TV season
That sure looks like a hit.
So how'd it happen? "Scandal" -- which got mixed reviews from critics -- saw its ratings swing up last season, as viewers discovered the same mix of real-world workplace settings and juicy soap-opera conventions that creator Shonda Rhimes exploited in "Grey's Anatomy."
Also, it probably didn't hurt that BET started airing repeats from the first two seasons in the weeks leading up to the Season 3 premiere.
Whatever the explanation, ABC has a 10 p.m. hit on its hands.
And these days, just uttering the phrase "10 p.m. hit" is news for broadcasters.
