Unknown to us there was already a Guinness World Record for "Largest Group Stop, Drop & Roll". We were excited to get 500-1000 people to do it. After applying for the opportunity, they informed us that the current record is held by the Indianapolis Fire Department in 2011 with 1,719 people. It has been a friendly back and forth between Iowa State Fire Marshal and Indianapolis Fire Department breaking each others records through past years. Here is a video of a record breaking attempt in Iowa back in 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfotog9Gpwo . We have an awesome community as well as surrounding communities. We believe that we can jump in front of Iowa and Indiana and show them what its like to be Jersey Strong! Also, how neat it would be to be a part of history as well as a part of a Guinness World Record. If the record is broken each participant will be able to order a Guinness World Record Certificate!

O.K. here is my take! Left out the peppers because neither my husband or I like them and substituted celery instead. Did cut the recipe in half and still had left-overs! Substituted white wine for the sherry and did not use any water at all. I also used egg noodles and added some linguine to make up my shortfall. The end result was "spectacular" and my husband said it was a super recipe and please, please, make again!
I didn't read the reviews before making this recipe first. I didn't pay attention to how much it made. We have tons of leftovers! I ended up using wide egg noodles as I had them on hand. I didn't add the additional 2 cups of water because the chicken broth was already watery enough. It makes me wonder if the gal who posted this recipe intended to put chicken broth granuals or something for all the water that it calls for. Anyway, I omitted it on my own. I suggest using less sherry. I used Marsala wine and it gave was too much flavor. I can imagine the same would happen with cooking sherry. And we omitted the peppers as my husband hates them. Overall, we'll have it again. But will cut the recipe in 1/2, use little or no wine/sherry, no additional water after the broth, and will leave out the peppers.
I am glad I read the reviews on this first and realized that the recipe was for 12 people. I shortened it to 6 and it was wonderful. Everyone had seconds!! The only thing I did different is cut the water down to 8oz . The first time I made it, it was a little watery. I would definately recommend this recipe!!!

Women escape bedroom fire
8:22am Sunday 18th November 2012 in News By Steven Smith, Chief Reporter
TWO women were given oxygen by firefighters on Saturday night after a fire started in a bedroom.
Crews from Springbourne and Christchurch were called to Shelley Road East, Boscombe, at around 11.30pm.
The fire, which was in a first floor bedroom, was out when they arrived.
The two women had suffered from smoke inhalation.
A fire service spokesman said an unattended candle started the fire and that the occupants were alerted by a smoke alarm.
The spokesman reminded people to check their smoke alarms were working regularly.

Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Animal lovers from across Oklahoma roamed the halls of the state Capitol on Thursday urging their local legislators to oppose legislation that would pave the way for a horse slaughtering facility in the state.
Officials with three animal rights groups sponsored Humane Lobby Day and briefed about 50 participants on how to lobby their elected officials.
"We certainly don't want to be known as the place where horses are trucked in and slaughtered for meat that will be shipped to other countries," said Cynthia Armstrong, Oklahoma director of the Humane Society of the United States.
The House and Senate each passed bills designed to end Oklahoma's 50-year ban on horse slaughtering and allow a facility to open that would package horse meat for export. The sale of horse meat for human consumption still would be prohibited within Oklahoma.
Supporters say the bills would help curb an increase in the number of abandoned horses and prevent the animals from being shipped to Mexico for slaughter.
"There's a plant in New Mexico that's about 60 days away from opening. There's a plant behind that in Missouri, maybe two. We would not be the only plant. We would not be the first," said Rep. Skye McNeil, R-Bristow, who is sponsoring one of the bills.
McNeil added that the animal activists weren't helping the animals.
"All they're doing is sending them to Mexico," McNeil said. "If they want to protect a horse, let's do it humanely in the United States, in Oklahoma."
Federal officials have suggested they might soon grant the inspection that's needed to start processing horse meat at slaughterhouse in New Mexico, but President Barack Obama's administration has urged Congress to reinstate a ban on equine slaughter.
Prior to 2007, there were three major horse slaughter facilities in the United States but those facilities closed after Congress prohibited the use of federal funds to conduct inspections.
In Oklahoma, the possession or sale of any quantity of horse meat for human consumption has been banned since 1963.
The legislation from McNeil and Sen. Mark Allen, R-Spiro, seek to end that prohibition. McNeil's bill passed the House on an 82-14 vote, while Allen's cleared the Senate with a 38-6 margin.

We cover the intersection of money and politics.
I've long admired Warren Buffett and still do. I've heard him tell many times how his secretary pays a larger percentage of her small income on taxes than he pays on his large income. Sometimes he elaborates; sometimes he doesn't. When he doesn't, he does a great disservice to the cause of financial literacy in this country and, inadvertently, I'm sure, stokes the embers of class resentment. This is not a good time to be doing that.
I was traveling and didn't see his August 15 New York Times opinion piece on that topic, but I saw and heard lots of references to it. I don't think any of them got to the heart of the matter. Instead, it was, as usual, all about the unfairness of rich people paying a smaller share than poor people. I'm sure that fed and inflamed the preconceptions of lots of well-meaning, but uninformed voters, whose emotions are already running ahead of the facts.
I tracked down the piece to see if it was as bad as its superficial coverage suggested. It wasn't, but you wouldn't know that from the title, "Stop Coddling the Super-Rich." The highlighted phrase was "Billionaires like me should pay more taxes." I'm sure most taxpayers would agree with that, including those who don't actually pay any federal income taxes because their incomes are below the taxable threshold.
The point—the heart of the matter—is that most of Mr. Buffett's income consists of dividends and long-term capital gains that are currently taxed at a 15 percent rate. This is true of many money managers whose "carried interest" is taxed at that favorable rate. Somehow that doesn't seem fair. But the picture clouds once you consider that this is not the first time that income is taxed. The corporation was first taxed on it, possibly at the high marginal rate of 35 percent, the same as the highest earned-income marginal rate on individuals. Thirty-five plus 15 add up to a 50 percent total. Thirty-five plus another 35, which Mr. Buffett presumably would suggest would add up to a 70 percent total—a pretty hefty tax on capital.
Mr. Buffet did not demagogue in his piece as one would assume based on its reporting. He gave a fair analysis of the issues involved. My experience tells me that he probably didn't choose the title put on his piece by the editors. But I'm guessing serious damage was done by the title and the short-hand, slip-shod coverage of his piece in the popular press.
Frankly, I don't have a firm position on the issue of carried interest or the taxation of professional investors. It still seems unfair even when you recognize the logic of it. The lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal had a good analysis of various aspects of the issue on August 17, which, as one would expect is just a predictable as the New York Times position.
Perhaps they should leave the favorable treatment as it is up to a point, but then have some minimum tax that must be paid if gross income is above some level. They might call it an "alternative minimum tax." But, wait! I think we tried that already, and it didn't work out so well.
I'm big on financial literacy too. So I took the trouble to look at Berkshire Hathaway's financial statements (There is a link in my post on the subject). BH's total income tax expense (federal, state and foreign) under generally accepted accounting principles has been between 26% to 30%. Much of that is deferred, cumulatively 32 billion. Also there is no corporate tax on the unrealized appreciation at the shareholder level. The tricky part is figuring out how much corporately taxed earnings and profits are included in the market capitalization of the stock. I'm not confident that I nailed that, but I'd love it if someone else would take a look. I make it that when WB sells some BH stock (which does not pay dividends) there is about 7% of corporate tax (federal state and foreign) embedded in his proceeds.
Mr. McTeer,
18,000 "American" companies are based out of one address in the Cayman Islands. I would be curious to see how many American Companies pay no tax to the good old USA. The Cayman's is but one of many tax shelters.
You are wrong that American companies pay 35% before giving any to their investors. Maybe a few still do, but offshore licenses are the norm and not the exception.
Even for those that are "American" companies there are numerous laws to keep the corporation or its shareholders from paying tax or granting a reduction in tax; look up S corporations (only one example).
You are also wrong in figuring that the 15% paid as capital gains would then be added to 35% to make a total of 50%.
I pay 29% of my income in tax, which is a greater percent than Mr. Buffett pays. This is just wrong.
I am also "double taxed" for if I get a tax refund in any given year; I pay tax twice on that refund.
We do need to change the rules to be fair to all.
I pretty much agree with your conclusions BUT you are also contributing to the poorly written presentations. One would not ADD 35% tax on corporations to the 35% tax on individuals as at best (or you can see it "as worst"), the one tax acts upon the other and mathematically reduces the total (or really, the "net"). Also, there is the fact that in few instances is the entire profit "passed through" in dividends (which are usually, in well run companies, a fraction of the profits, the balance being retained to aid in earning future profits.
The problem with fixing the carried interest problem, if it is a problem, is that it flows from fundamental principles of partnership taxation. The partnership form (which includes LLC's) is currently one of the best vehicles for start-ups, althought a lot of venture capitalists still seem to favor C corporations (go figure) for their investees, if not their funds.
The only fix that I can think of that would not create havoc in other areas would be to deny Subchapter K treatment to purely invesment entities. What is proposed instead is Code Section 710, which will add about 3,000 words to a Code that many think is already a little too long.
On the bright side, it will be a white collar jobs program for partnership tax experts.
My main problem with people that say it will income will be taxed at 35% is that corporations rarely pay the full amount. If they do they should fire their accountants.
Also it seems obvious to me but taxing income at 35% and then at 15% does not equal taxing at 50% it is less you can not just add them together. If people are going to write articles about calling Warren Buffet at least take the time to inform people on what really happens. Everyone keeps throwing around the worst case scenarios on both sides of the coin and it doesn't do anyone any good.
Right. The other thing is that if a stock is trading at a multiple of book value, which is generarlly the case, the gain that the shareholder has will not have been subject to corporate tax. That is the trickiest part to figure out.

Here come Bennie B and tha QE3
Pilin' on our misery

Messin' up our econ-omy
I believe the professional view is very different from the general view. It's like all things in life, perception is the percievers reality. Most folks see this as an issue of look what shape the country's in and it's big corporations and their wall street bankers that caused this. I sure as hell didn't screw the economy up and cause millions to be unemployed and getting kicked out of their homes. Then worse, we've got all these politicans referring to people who, through no fault of their own, have been unemployed a long time as the "poor" and "unemployable" and a huge drain on the economy.
Now, from the perception of the new "untouchables" caste, there are a lot of rich people ripping off what were the middle classes and less fortunate. Now all this seems like a bunch of left wing drivel except that it has become reality for far too many of our citizens. They are being marginalized by the banking and financial types and the TeaParty and numerous politicans saying we've got to cut spending when there seems no rational reason for doing that with so many people without.
Warren's effort to take the other view based not on how the tax laws read but on how they should read (perceptions) during the current situation is probably more realistic to the general population than the professional view. Many news commentaters and finance analysts have made the point that there is no lack of accrued funds for investment. So, just letting the super-rich or even the rich continue to lounge through life without extracting some of those earnings, and let's face it, those are earnings which many of the general populace do not have and have no prospects for, doesn't seem like good policy. Keep in mind the general view is the companies in BH's portfolio have made so much money they were able to pay taxes on it and still dispense enough of it out that those recipients had to pay more taxes and they still made a bundle. That doesn't sound overtaxed to them.
So, what about the rich paying more in taxes to reduce the deficit untill everybody else gets back to being taxpaying citizens? Is it good policy? Would a higher tax on high incomes result in serious consequences, other than some rich folks and their political allies suffering a little bit too?
All the articles trying to figure out where Warren got his numbers from and show why he's off base may mean something to the Wall Street crowd, but they're way off base to the rest of the people. Higher taxes on upper income earners are appropriate at this time, mostly because there's no impact on the availability of capital. All these numbers and analyses really don't mean squat if you simply look at it from the perspective of how much will it help or hurt in the current context.
Our approach to applying economic principles is far to restrictive for something that has almost no real empirical proof to it. We look at high level numbers and make decisions based on them that may be completely wrong when those decisions are applied to individual everyday transactions.
First of all Mr McTeer needs a quick math lesson. If the corporation pays 35% (doubtful) and Buffet pays 35%, that would be 57.75% not 70%. Mr Buffit would only pay 35% on the portion that is left after the corporation paid their tax.
Secondly, what if I make $100 and have to pay 35% in income tax. Then I pay my yard guy the $65 I have left. Should he have to pay tax on that money since I already did? Mr McTeer thinks not. Each dollar should just get taxed once, then we mark it with red ink and never tax it again.
Of course that is ridiculous but apparently not when applied to dividends and corporations.
Finance schminance, taxes too. I'll be more brief this time. Buffet is being savaged by his own kind.
He's not wrong when he says that rich folks are getting rich through their purchase of favorable tax, financial, and legal treatment from the government. It ain't a matter of coddling, it's a matter of purchase price.
Just as a matter of curiosity, I wonder just how many Members of Congress have had more than 3 semester of economics in school or better still how many are degreed economists?

As discussed previously, the emergence of a "reasonable physician" standard of care affects both human and veterinary practitioners, defining our approach to error management. Under this standard, adverse events previously defensible by deference to custom might now result in decisions of negligence if it is determined that such events were easily preventable.
The commission of errors is an unavoidable part of human existence. While errors might be as benign as misplacing car keys, their existence in the medical arena might be disastrous, causing injury or death.
Many new graduates are not ready or able to reach productivity that will make them profitable to employers.
Veterinarians average $312,360 in revenue production and the average medical malpractice premium hovers at $197...

I enjoy writing about my marketing agency which focuses on results.
Advertisers lost control of the media years ago when the Internet gave all the target audiences the power to run their own message delivery systems.
I'm not sure we'd fully recovered from that peaceful revolution when another gigantic wave hit us, then another and another: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, blogs, Yelp, Foursquare, and on and on.
The whole Social Media thing can be very confusing which partly explains the problems some companies are experiencing with it.
Consider a prospective client we visited a few weeks ago. They showed us their website, some of their Twitter and Facebook work and mentioned interests in Pinterest and LinkedIn.
I asked about their overall strategy, especially as it relates to acquiring new customers and communicating with the customers they already have.
They looked at me as if I'd asked them to explain Unified Field Theory.
After a little gentle probing, I learned the company's Social Media marketers work in silos:
· The Facebook people don't send prospects to the company's website; they offer products right on Facebook.
· The Twitter Group is trying to increase followers by chasing their target market through hashtag (#) searches.
· The people in charge of the website don't capture prospect information because they can't.
· Nobody in the company is working to create real gold: a prospect and customer database.
When I got back to the office, I started to develop a theory: Big companies have the Social Media thing under control, medium and small companies don't.
I figured the big guys had the resources and management discipline to make Social Media work. And, of course, it would be planned around the basic objective of all businesses which is "To Get & Keep Customers".
Naturally, being a direct marketer, I tested the theory and when I did I almost fell off my chair.
The test started with Twitter and a short list of obvious major companies off the top of my head: 3M, Coke, Pepsi, Budweiser.
· @3M exists, has 400 followers and has never tweeted.
· There's a squatter sitting on @Coke but
· @Pepsi has over a million followers.
· On the other hand, @Cocacola has 600,000+ followers and posts alternate English and Spanish tweets.
· There's a squatter on @Budweiser.
· Whoever owns @Bud has been suspended.
· @BudLight? Another squatter.
How about hashtags?
Oh my goodness. Search #3M and you discover that the company has all kinds of Twitter accounts, like: 3@M_SkinWound, 3@Minnovation, 3@M_Infection. It's like a secret world with its own code.
#Cocacola? Every language under the sun, confusing.
So much for my theory. It took me 30 seconds to learn that a lot of big businesses do not have this thing nailed down yet.
Well, some do. Ford, for instance. They have a brilliant and complex Social Media strategy revolving around the Millenials (roughly the children and grandchildren of baby boomers).
Bottom line? In almost no time, I found companies working in silos, sometime at cross purposes, confusion about basic company names, languages, objectives. And that's just Twitter. Most of them are better at Facebook but I get the impression that companies of all sizes are not taking Social Media seriously yet, at least not seriously enough to develop a coherent plan with Background, Objectives, Strategy, Metrics. They seem to have zoomed past all that to Tactics which, like children, are all of the fun and none of the responsibility.
I hope that somewhere in every company, someone's thinking about the essence of business. In the meantime, I'm working on new theory. What is your and how is social media working for your company? Please comment below.
3M has over 11,000 followers and tweets all the time?
I'm not surprised. The history of marketing adoption of new media is littered with similar problems.
Personally I've seen people who have limited grasp of what the companies strategic aims are given the job of implementing important projects in non-main stream media because the people in charge of the organisation don't understand, nor seem to want to find out, about what may be the opportunities and possible pitfalls of a new or unusual routes to market.
It's not that long ago that many directors of FTSE 100 companies had no idea of what to do once they had turned a PC on. They had people to do that for them. So it is with Twitter and Facebook. Until they needed to interact with their own peers in order to engage with the movers and shakers in the remuneration committee they do not appear to see any point in the medium.
The closing down of various spoof, but amusing, twitter accounts by heavy handed lawyer driven actions on behalf of large companies who seemed incapable of seeing the opportunity of building upon the interest that the spoof accounts, and the followers that they generated, is a classic case in point.
My own pet peeve is companies and organisations who use QR codes but have them point the resolved URL to their large, often over bloated with images and stuff that will not fit onto a mobile phone screen, main websites when anyone who has ever used a QR scanner will tell you that they won't be carrying their main PC with them when they scan the QR code. They will almost always scan it into their mobile phone. So, you either have to forward it to yourself, or else discard it as a useless way to communicate with their potential customers…
Lois, you nailed it on the head with this piece..My company's blog has numerous articles saying the same thing with different words. It is the absolute truth, like you said: "Big companies have the Social Media thing under control, medium and small companies don't."
My company is one of only a few nationwide that cater to the small or mid-sized companies. I can tell you without a doubt, smaller businesses are overwhelmed and frustrated when it come to social media. The name of my company, Social Babies, was created because of that reason. After the first few months in business and talking to a couple of hundred owners I realized they were like babies when it came to social media. They get mad and pout like a baby when discussing social media. Why? Because like a baby, when you don't understand something you get frustrated.
Great piece Lois!
Love this comment. Was discussing this with some colleagues at the BMA recently.
Big companies hire professionals to plan and implement wraparound programs.
David Ogilvy used to say the trouble with smaller companies is they tend to cut their advertising or switch agencies to save a buck all the time.
Social media fails with smaller participants because they hire unqualified tweeters and posters for $3 an hour from eLance and GURU and all the writer bid sites. (Sorry. It offends me.)
So good for them. They want to compete with Fortune 100s but want to spend two bucks on a few free social media platforms.
Doesn't fly that way. I'd like to sell enriched uranium and guidance navigation systems to global governments too. Or insulin for type I diabetics.
Inelastic demand.
Unfortunately for smaller fish, they have to get it together if they want to have a prayer in social media.

I wish I could offer a great counter example… I think perhaps @loisgeller is the best at it, @MichaelHyatt is also very good. Both of them connect their work to their followers with regular tweets. If you decide to follow them, you are invited to their blog/site. When you visit, you are greeted with inticing offers. If you respond, you receive a thank you and an invitation to participate at a higher level. I'm fairly sure all those contacts are automated, but in both cases, they make me feel like a part of what they are accomplishing… perhaps even a friend.

I cover Brazil, Russia, India & China.
If congress does nothing, taxes will go up on Jan. 1 for every single American, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.
"Middle class families cannot afford that right now and businesses, by the way, can't afford it either," he said during a talk today.
If taxes go up on the middle class, the Small Business Administration estimates that it will take $2 billion out of their collective pockets. CEOs from Hewlett Packard to Coca-Cola have high-tailed it to Washington to discuss the fiscal cliff with Congress in hopes to avoid a political made-for-TV showdown, similar to that of the August 2011 debt ceiling debate.
The fiscal cliff countdown to making a decision on where to raise and where to cut taxes is just 33 days away. The president said he is hoping to get a deal done by Christmas.
Obama is sticking to his plan to keep the tax cuts for those earning under $250,000. Those earning over that will be taxed more than they are now.
Warren Buffett said on CNBC this morning that he would indeed tolerate a 28 percent tax rate for his billionaire dollar income. Buffett has been touting the so-called Buffet Tax on millionaires all year, but Republicans have been hell-bent on keeping tax breaks in place for all income earners.
Obama also said that many Republicans were coming on board with taxing America's wealthy one percenters. It has become clear now that many on the right wing of the party have been following the marching orders of old-time GOP ideologue and strategist Grover Norquist, who seems focused on simply shutting government down completely as part of some sort of personal life goal.
But enough people are getting involved now, including big named corporate execs, who are adamantly against a Norquist-style Congressional drama to undercut solutions to the fiscal cliff.
What exactly would a $200 a month tax hike mean? Over $2,000 a year in extra taxes for average wage earners, which means people earning the median U.S. income of under $50,000 annually. People would have to reduce costs, including necessary costs like medication and college loan payments.
"I'm asking Congress to ask to the people who sent us here to serve," the president said. "I'm asking Americans to make their voices heard and tell Congress what a $200 tax hike would mean to you," he added, announcing a Twitter hashtag called #My2k.
"I am ready and willing and able and excited to get this issue solved so that American citizens and American businesses have this behind them. We can do this in a balanced way, providing we do not raise taxes on the middle class," he said.
Obama heads to Pennsylvania on Friday to meet with small business owners in the state.
Market participants are worried that a Congressional drama would lead to a big sell off on par with what occurred in October 2008 when Congress rejected the Troubled Assets Relief Program under George W. Bush.
for someone considered to be smart I am not sure why Warren Buffet doesn't expect a good return on the money he gives to government. I think overall he is an super good man. He gives billions to charity. I just don't see how he can't see that he can help society or individuals a lot more by giving money to efficient charities instead of giving it to an totally inefficient government. I just wish one journalist would ask him what charities he is going to cut out when his taxes go up.
At this stage in Warren life the vast majority of his income goes to either the government or to charity, In fact this is another reason why his tax rate is low, he gets a deduction for his charitable giving. If however the government takes more of his income the money is gone, he cant give it to charity. Which is why society loses, I would say the government operates at about 30% efficiency. Where as a good charity probably has 80%+ efficiency. He could help more seniors by end running the government and going direct through charitable organizations that work with seniors. If the government gets his money a charity doesn't. Ask yourself this question. If I really wanted to help my fellowman by donating money would I donate it to the government or would I find a efficient charitable organization. If we are honest we know down deep government may mean well it just terribly inefficient.
Oh it is fun banging my head! Obviously there is a role for government. however we do need to take stock of our resources. Why in every facet of life do we demand value for our dollars. We expect the best bang for our buck on every purchase we make. The house we buy down to the bananas we select in the grocery store. Does the government really need to be involved? If so why do we not demand excellence. I would submit if there was no such thing as payroll taxes and each individual had to cut a check at the end of the year to pay their taxes there would be a tax revolt. Most people would demand better. If we got better from the government, maybe some day we can pay down some of our generations debt even at current taxation rates!
I very much believe you need a socialist government in power anyways when you hit rock bottom, as otherwise people only assume the reason the government is cutting or deregulating & lowering taxes is because they have no heart or to protect their rich friends.
Much like Robert Lange did when the labor party changed New Zealand around in the 1980′s.
Liberals truly do want to help people but once they run out of other peoples money they realize the only way they can help the less fortunate is through free markets.
New Zealand went from practically bankrupt to one of the top.

Six New Jersey food banks, including the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, will receive a portion of $225,610 in Community Services Block Grants from the state Department of Community Affairs.
"As a result of these grants, food banks will be better able to serve the towns and cities in New Jersey's 21 counties, ensuring that more donated food gets to the tables of struggling families," said Richard Constable, III, commissioner of the state Department of Community Affairs.
The funding was announced by the state departments of Community Affairs and Agriculture today at the Lacey Food Bank in Forked River.
Funding to the food banks is based on the poverty level of the counties they serve. The grants will be distributed as follows: $23,867 to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, $149,355 to the Community Food Bank, $28,212 to the Food Bank of South Jersey, $9,850 to Mercer Street Friends, $4,791 to NORWESCAP and $9,535, to Southern Regional Food Distribution.
"The food bank is the primary provider of food resources and assistance for Ocean and Monmouth counties," said Carlos Rodriguez, executive director of the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. He added that last year the organization served more than 260 charities and 127,000 individuals, 51,000 of which were children.
The number of individuals the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties helps comes down to one in 10 people. If the food bank were to line up all the people they assist, they would reach Belmar to Trenton three times, he said.
"We continue to see new faces. It's very different faces," he said, as numbers continue to grow due to economic circumstances. "It's uncommon to come to one of our programs and see someone who used to donate and help with the food drive and is now on the other side of the line."
Approximately 30 percent of the 127,000 people helped were senior citizens, the remaining are unemployed, he said.
"Food is what brings us to the proverbial table. The most important thing to know about food is that everyone deserves a seat at that table," he said.
The grants will be used to help the food banks distribute and store donated food, including Jersey Fresh fruits and vegetables. The funding was made available through the DCA Division of Housing and Community Resources Community Services Block Grant, a federal anti-poverty grant program. The focus is on addressing nutrition.
The Jersey Fresh program is the oldest in the country at 26 years old, Secretary Douglas Fisher of the state Department of Agriculture said.
"We're very proud of the products produced in the state," he said. "People are desiring locally produced products. By every measure Jersey Fresh is a growing force in the state."
The program benefits both the hungry and New Jersey farmers, Fisher said.
"We are at the height of the New Jersey growing season, with a wide variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables available for the food banks to provide to those in need," said Fisher. "This funding will help food banks improve their storage and distribution of Jersey Fresh produce and other food."
Food banking is unique because it brings together various sectors of society to solve a problem, Fisher said. But the goal is not to end or alleviate hunger, he said.
"The challenge is to create significant food security in our communities so that everyone has access to affordable nutritious food when they need it, how they need it, so they can live a healthy life," he said. "And that's what we're doing today. We start with a bag. We start with some produce and go on from there."
The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties continues to improve the nutritional value of the food that's distributed, although it's a challenge, Rodriguez said.
"As soon as you pull them from the ground, the clock starts ticking…but we know it's important to make sure that the meals our families receive are the best possible," he said.

The Vistani share their secrets -- both magical and otherwise -- only with those who are also vistani. Once you have been welcomed into a vistani caravan and accepted as a member, you undergo a ritual led by a vistani elder. During the ritual, some of your blood is shared with that of someone in the caravan. As your blood mingles with that of the vistani, your eyes grow dark, and you become one with the rest of the caravan, which grants you access to the feats, powers, and other options available to all vistani.

Splashin' Safari at Holiday World Overview:Opened in 1993, Splashin' Safari was one of the earlier waterparks built next to an existing theme park. (Customers wouldn't go for roller coasters and water slides in one location, industry naysayers used to believe. What the heck was Coney Island and all of the other seaside amusement parks, then?) Today, water parks are de rigueur, and Splashin' Safari is among the best. In fact, it's among the best and biggest parks even when compared to standalone water parks.
The towering 102-foot tall ZOOMbabwe, among the world's tallest enclosed water slides, is one of the featured rides and is a real winner. Other attractions included Bakuli, a bowl ride and the Zinga funnel ride. With two wave pools, two lazy rivers, and two interactive water play structures, the attractions can accommodate a lot of guests and the park doesn't feel out-of-control crowded, even on busy, hot days.
Accessible from both the "dry" Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, the Pilgrims Plunge shoot-the-chutes boat ride is a real hoot. Guests are allowed to board the ride in bare feet and bathing suits.
The theme is African (that's the "Safari" part), hence the silly ride names. The schizophrenic park also has a California theme (that's the "Splashin" part) and plays Beach Boys and other surf tunes over the loudspeakers.
The family-owned park has an almost religious devotion to customer satisfaction. The grounds are spotless, the prices are reasonable, and the ride ops and other staff are unfailingly polite and cheerful. While other parks seem intent on wringing every last cent out of their guests, get a load of what Splashin' Safari includes at no extra charge: free parking, admission to the water park with Holiday World admission, complimentary inner tubes, unlimited soft drinks, and free sunscreen. Now, that's what I call putting customers first.
