Playing without Rajon Rondo — due to the point guard's one-game suspension — the Celtics beat the Knicks, 102-96, Monday night at Madison Square Garden. It marked only the Celts' second three-game winning streak of the season.
The Celtics have now beaten the Knicks — who lost just their fourth Eastern Conference matchup in 18 tries this season — in 19 of the teams' last 23 meetings.
Filling in for Rondo was Avery Bradley, who finished with 13 points and five assists. Leading the offense for the Celtics was Paul Pierce, whose three-pointer :46 helped seal the deal for the visitors. Pierce finished with 23 points.
Helping matters for the Celtics was a horrific shooting performance by New York's Carmelo Anthony, who had scored at least 40 points in two of his last three games and averaged 30 points in each of his past four contests against Boston. This time, Anthony shot just 6-of-26 from the floor, finishing with 20 points.
Also contributing for the Celtics were Kevin Garnett (19 points, 9 rebounds), and Jeff Green, who had 16 points off the bench.
The win boosts the Celtics' record to .500 (17-17). It was also just the Knicks fourth home loss of the season.

We discuss the suspension of Ray Rice, and how the act he committed certainly seemed like it warranted a harsher penalty from the strict front office of Roger Goodell.
We tackle four topics, all sparked by our interest in the story about the Browns fan peeing on Art Modell's grave this past week.
Mut and Villani are talking about whether the Red Sox will give Jon Lester the type of contract he is looking for, or whether they might be shopping him with rumors of the Red Sox scouting Cole Hamels.
Mut and Villani are talking about the MLB All Star Game, Adam Wainwright and Derek Jeter, and what are some of the worst ideas in sports.
With the trade deadline looming, the next few days will be defined by how teams value prospects -- and their potential long-term contributions -- against big leaguers with established track records who can address immediate needs. Are prospects being valued accurately? Red Sox left-hander Andrew Miller -- once one of the two key chips that sent Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins to the Tigers -- assesses the matter.
A compelling case can be made that July 24, 2004, represents as significant a landmark as any date in modern Red Sox history. On that day, a memorable brawl between the Red Sox and Yankees served as a catalyst for an epic 10-9 walkoff victory for the Red Sox over New York and indomitable closer Mariano Rivera, a game cited by many members of the 2004 team as pivotal in Boston's first championship run in 86 years. Ian Browne, who covers the Red Sox for MLB.com and authored Idiots Revisited, discusses the landmark game.

The holidays are the time to be thankful for what you have and give to those less fortunate.
Adopting this mantra early in life, Kate Diaz - a 15-yr-old singer, decided to write an original song called "Christmas Smiles" and donate her entire December earnings. HooplaHa she plays acoustic guitar and donates all funds to CureSearch, a cancer research charity.
"I came up with the idea to use music to raise awareness and raise funds for children's cancer research. Just to take one month and give all my tips and CD sales to children's cancer is just a cool thing for me to do. Doing it around the holiday time is a great because everyone is grateful for what they have," said Kate.
In addition to playing "Christmas Smiles" solo, Kate wrote a 22-part arrangement performed by her school orchestra. During the past 3 years, Kate's performances and music sales have raised more than $2,000 for CureSearch.

Gov. Rick Snyder has signed legislation establishing the Organized Retail Crime Act to protect consumers by cracking down on the increasing prevalence of retail fraud.
Both State Rep. Vicki Barnett and Sen. Vincent Gregory, who represent Farmington and Farmington Hills, voted in favor of House Bills 5843 and 5902, sponsored by state Dist. 51 State Rep. Joe Graves (R-Argentine Township), which would make it a felony punishable by up to five years' imprisonment if a person is found guilty of knowingly committing organized retail crime.
This includes the theft of retail merchandise with the intent or purpose of reselling, distributing, or transferring the stolen retail merchandise to another retail merchant or to any other person personally, through the mail, or through any electronic medium, including the Internet, in exchange for anything of value. The measures are now Public Acts 455 and 456 of 2012.
"Organized retail crime is a sophisticated operation conducted by professional criminals and can act as a gateway to finance even more serious crimes," Snyder said. "These crimes are costing our businesses and our communities too much and law enforcement will now be better able to combat this growing threat."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement calling on the Senate to pass the House-approved FAA extension:
"Last month, the House passed a responsible measure to extend FAA funding with bipartisan support. Since that time, the Senate has dragged its feet and played politics with tens of thousands of American jobs rather than passing the House bill or producing something of their own. If the Senate had significant objections, they should have acted on them, but they again did nothing. With millions of Americans out of work, it is more than irresponsible for Leader Reid and Senate Democrats to continue to put partisanship over jobs."
NOTE: Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) agreed to pass the House FAA extension bill, saying "sometimes you have to step back and find out what's best for the country and not be bound by some of your own personal issues." Later, he changed course. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told reporters yesterday that it's "time for the Senate to take action, which they can do today, and the president will sign it."

That backward flop into the audience has been a staple of Gabriel's live shows for years, and it gets riskier as his audience gets bigger. But he insists on keeping it in the show – a decision, says everyone around him, that's completely in character for a guy who simply isn't changed by fame and fortune.
"My lifestyle hasn't really changed," Gabriel says, shrugging. "I've lived comfortably for five to seven years now, but I still look to save a few pennies here and there, because that's a very hard habit to get out of." He has no plans, he says, to move out of the quiet English community in the Cotswolds where he lives. Nobody there makes a fuss about the resident pop star unless he's on Top of the Pops.
But he does want new video equipment and an upgraded studio, and he wants the time to experiment by making videos for all the So tunes not yet turned into clips. He would like to mount a performance-art piece and tour smaller halls next summer. And he's still interested in the idea of an alternative park that would be "a mixture of amusement park, art gallery, university and holiday camp." It combines many of his current fascinations: high technology, behavioral research, environmental and interactive art. Plus some old-fashioned thrills, courtesy of the author and psychiatrist R.D. Laing, who has talked with Gabriel about a Ride of Fears, in which the most common phobias would be presented with increasing intensity until the rider conquers them all or pushes a panic button.
And would Gabriel make it through without pushing that button?
"I don't know," Gabriel says, laughing. He once learned to control a fear of snakes with the help of a friendly python. On the other hand, he says, "when I was skiing, I got to the edge of a cliff and experienced vertigo, went to jelly."
The mixture of science and entertainment seems typical of Gabriel, who's certainly got the only rock & roll tour program that includes an Anne Sexton poem, a conversation with a signing gorilla, photos of artwork done by mental patients, a child's letter to God and pitches for Amnesty International and the University for Peace (a Costa Rica-based organization for which Gabriel and Little Steven Van Zandt organized recent benefit concerts in Japan).
Near the front of the program, there's a picture of Gabriel making a funny face and a caption that reads, "How did I get this far?" But now, as he heads to Los Angeles for the final two nights of his most triumphant American tour ever, he seems satisfied rather than surprised.
"People can put it down to luck, or good fortune, or..." He trails off, his face barely visible in the darkness of the cabin. "But I don't think you succeed by accident."
Ahead, Los Angeles is waiting for Peter Gabriel: there, the fans will pass him above their heads until he's halfway back in the huge hall, farther than any other audience has done on the tour; there, Sting and U2 have been calling for tickets to the shows; there, Joni Mitchell and Don Henley and Robbie Robertson will show up at the Forum, outside Los Angeles, and later at a party for Gabriel thrown at a trendy West Hollywood restaurant.
It sounds like a line from Gabriel's new single: "I'll be a big noise with all the big boys." This is Peter Gabriel's big time, and for a minute the way he introduces the song onstage sounds more appropriate than ironic. "Once upon a time there was a man from a small town," he says. "But he had big, big, big ideas."

Longtime New Tampa area residents age 65 and older might have a reason to celebrate.
Hillsborough County Commissioners agreed Feb. 20 to approve a bigger property tax break for older homeowners. Instead of the $40,000 homestead exemption longtime residents now get, the amount will rise to $50,000 starting in the 2014 tax year.
The additional homestead exemption applies to people 65 and older who own their homes and have lived in them for at least 25 years. The value of the home must be under $250,000 and there are certain income requirements.
Commissioners had a public hearing Wednesday about the proposed increase in the exemption, but no one from the community turned out to speak. Commissioners, however, did have a few things to say before voting 7-0 to approve the measure.
Let Patch save you time. Get great local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone everyday with our free newsletter. Simple, fast, sign-up here.
Commissioner Kevin Beckner was concerned that residents wouldn't know about the new exemption or how to file for it. Staff assured him the Property Appraisers Office would make information available to seniors.
The new tax break is effective for the 2014 property tax year.
Information on how to claim the exemption will eventually be made available on the Hillsborough County Property Appraisers Office website.
The break is expected to reduce the county's ad valorem tax revenues by $178,900.
What do you think about the tax break for low-income seniors? Do you agree with the move? Are there other special groups you think the county should provide assistance to? Share your thoughts below!

TACOMA, Wash. -- A proposal to require paid sick leave for all Tacoma small business employees was the focus of a town hall meeting Thursday night.
A group of more than 30 community organizations, unions and business owners organized under the name "Healthy Tacoma" aim to gain support for a proposed city ordinance that would make paid leave mandatory.
Dowd's BBQ is one of many businesses in favor of it.
"Offering sick pay would be an extra incentive," said Terry Hayes, employee at Dowd's BBQ.
The company has five employees, none are offered paid sick leave. Hayes believes that incentive would not only improve employment turnover, it would also make workers feel more valued.
"I think it would enhance the business personally," said Hayes.
According to "Healthy Tacoma," two out of five workers in the city don't have paid sick leave. That amounts to about 41,000 people or 41% of the local workforce.
"It's terrible," said Alma Gutierrez, a former server.
As a single mother of three, Gutierrez often put the needs of her family ahead of her personal health. During a shift, she fell and broke a bone in her foot. Her company did not offer her paid sick leave.
"Less than two weeks they called me and said you have to show up tomorrow otherwise you're fired," she said.
In fear for her job, Gutierrez used a knife to cut off her cast and showed up to work the next day wearing a splint. The bone didn't heal properly and still gives her problems.
Supporters of the proposal say even if people can stay home when they're sick and still get paid, it's a public health issue.
"They don't want their servers or bartenders ill while they're being served," said Rose Perrino, who attended the town hall.
Under the proposal, there are caps to how many hours employees can take depending on how big their company is and how long they've worked there.
While still in the planning stage, the hope is to have either the city council or voters approve the proposal as soon as possible.
The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce is already fighting it. It believes mandating sick pay would be yet another financial hit to businesses still beat up by the recession.

Reflection & remembrance unfold on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks; President Obama addresses the nation on Syria; new Apple iPhone price stirs concerns; and the NYC Democratic primary declares Bill de Blasio as the winner. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus gets naked; Emily Blunt is expecting her first child; and celebrities step out for the 2013 Toronto Film Festival.
9/11 anniversary a time of remembrance, reflection, http://rtvote.com/17WQe4d
Today the United States steps back from the brink of conflict with Syria to reflect and remember the nearly 3,000 victims from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In New York, hundreds of friends and families of the victims stood silently as bagpipes played in the background. President Obama marked the anniversary with a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House.
The Story of an Unsung 9/11 Hero, http://rtvote.com/17WQRe0
On the anniversary of 9/11 the country is taking time to reflect on the many heroes that emerged from the crowd on that terrible day. One of those heroes was Benjamin Cark, a chef who saved hundreds of lives in the South Tower.
Planned as Call to Act, Obama's Speech Became a Plea for Time, http://rtvote.com/1ei7sQP
President Obama addressed the nation on Tuesday evening from the East Room of the White House to discuss the U.S. response to the crisis in Syria. In his speech he postponed a vote in Congress that would have decided whether or not the U.S. takes military action in Syria. This delay was announced in order to allow more time to pursue diplomatic options.
Apple falls on concern about iPhone pricing, http://rtvote.com/1ei6t2P
Apple revealed two new iPhones on Tuesday that will cost a cool $549 without a two-year cell phone contract. Apple shares dropped more than 5% in afternoon trading on Wednesday over concerns that the new iPhone 5c is priced too high. Analysts believe that it is too pricy to have appeal in emerging markets.
New York City
DeBlasio tops NYC mayoral race; Spitzer loses, http://rtvote.com/15kl1JH
With 98 percent of precincts reporting, de Blasio had 40.2 percent of the vote with former Comptroller Bill Thompson in second place at 26.2 percent. He easily topped his field of competitors in the Democratic primary to succeed Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

I'm Back + ICFF 2012
Hey, remember how I said I'd "see you Wednesday" and now it's the Tuesday after? Man, I'm sorry about that. Coming back from ICFF left me playing the catch-up game hard core and even included an inbox/whale carcass exploding incident. It was messy. BUT! I'm back! And ICFF was awesome:
I met and hung out with so many cool people!
I had dinner with awesome people!
I saw tons of incredible designs!
I got a fake tattoo!
I stayed with one of my favorite people ever!
I even got to meet Jonathan Adler (OMG)! OMG.
Like I said, it was awesome. If you get a chance, go! You can also see loads more photos from this trip (and all my other adventures) on Instagram at CapreeK.
Meanwhile, I'll be back to regular posting this week!

General Preventative Steps
Written Assignments:
- Explain to students what constitutes plagiarism. Provide examples of citation you expect in written assignments.
- Students are often tempted to misuse electronic sources (e.g., academic papers are readily available on the Web for acquisition or purchase). Remind students of their obligation to do their own work, and of the ease with which electronic sources can be located if students' work is called into question.
- Change topics each semester, if possible.
- Require students to submit an outline and/or an initial reference list, which must be approved before they proceed. Require submission of an intermediate draft and/or notes with the final paper.
- Students increasingly use electronic means to locate and retrieve source materials. Consequently, it may be worthwhile to perform a search of the Web using one of the popular search engines (eg., Lycos, Infoseek, Google, Yahoo or Turnitin.com)
- Have students sign an honor statement on exams and papers attesting that all work is their own that no unfair advantage has been taken.
- Prohibit talking or any communication among students during exams; for questions about the test, have them talk to you
- Number exams and include the number at the top of each page.
- Use a sign in sheet for each row, by exam numbers, to record where students sit.
- Do not allow the students to leave during the exam.
- Have students sign each page of exam in ink.
- Require written excuses for make-ups or extensions, and check for authenticity.
- Encourage students to sit away from study partners or friends during exams and to cover their work.
- Give oral and written instructions regarding which materials can or cannot be used on the test.
- Have students put away books, notes, or other prohibited items and store them out of sight.
- Change exam questions often, preferably every semester.
- Do not permit programmable calculators or require students to "clear" all programs before exams begin.
- If you provide sample questions or study sheets, do not use the exact same questions on the exam.
- Have students turn in blank blue books to you at the beginning of class before the test, mark to show you've seen them, and redistribute at random, or have students pass blue books two seats down.
- Require students to begin writing on a certain page in their blue books, leaving a specified # of lines/pages blank.
Watch for:
Crib notes up sleeve, under leg; inside pockets, clothing, pen, calculator cover, or cap brim; written on hands, arms, pencils, desks, chairs, blackboards, walls; visible on clipboard or floor, binders or backpacks; stored in programmable calculators or electronic date books; pre-written in blue book; or hidden in a bathroom or a nearby classroom.
Also watch for:
Students leaving room without submitting test (to use notes or key outside class); attempting to sneak completed exam back into room at end of exam, or into faculty office, or having accomplice "find" and turn in "lost" exam later.
Deterring copying or collaborating during exams:
- Use multiple exam versions, "scrambling" the order of questions or changing key variables.
- Use alternate seating. If no extra rooms are available, combine classes for exams seating students from each class alternately. Use different color exams for each class so it's obvious if those from same class are seated adjacently.
- Put multiple choice and true/false questions at the bottom of page where it's harder to copy.
- Refuse credit for correct answers unless ALL WORK is shown.
- Require students to remove hats and dark glasses during exams, unless they have a medical reason.
Watch for:
Wandering eyes; talking; passing notes; or other communication (e.g., cell phones, headphones, and pagers can transmit and receive information by voice, e-mail, data transfer, message function, or "pager code").
Avoiding fraudulent re-grade requests:
- Photocopy graded tests/scantrons before handing back.
- Mark wrong answers or blank space with an "X" or slash mark.
- Use numbered exams and sign-in sheets
- Have one person review all re-grade requests and record changes.
Watch for:
Erased or changed scantron answers; new, correct answers in place of previously blank or incomplete response; test that has been photocopied with original answers and grading marks blanked out, then redone with correct answers and forged grading marks; pages or entire exam with higher scores stolen from return bin, name changed, then submitted for more credit under thief's name. Red flag: poor-quality "second generation" copy inconsistent with original exam; copies of staple hole; entire pages erased and re-written (to avoid detection of different handwriting).
"Ringers" and loss/theft of exams:
- Count the number of exams handed out, of students taking the test, and or exams turned in (before leaving room), and make sure numbers match. Use exam numbers and sign-in sheets.
- Collect exams from students while still seated rather than having a chaotic rush to the front.
- Have consistent "loss-proof" method of transporting papers between class, office, and home (e.g., locked briefcase). Keep office and desk locked, papers secure when you are out.
Watch for:
Ringer taking test for enrolled student (who may be present or not). Ringer may do own test, then re-copy scantron for student. Or, ringer may do real exam while enrolled student does "fake exam". Fake exam is discarded or submitted with phony name.
Also watch for:
Theft of ungraded exams/papers for submission pile/box; or from office, computer lab print-out tray; or other student's computer, account, backpack, or room. Thief erases name and submits as own work, or copies/alters work and submits as own. May destroy original work to avoid detection. Student may come to test (or earlier section), take exam copy (or have friend get copy) then go study before own section test/scheduled make-up. Rarely, exam questions or answer key taken from faculty office or computer.
Still more to watch for:
Student who fails to submit paper or exam, then claims faculty error caused loss of work (goal: make-up exam or extension).

If you've never heard a real owl, or for that matter seen one up close, then you don't want to miss out on this fascinating nature walk. Join our naturalist on a 30-45 minute walk along the woods. Owls will be called … listen closely to see if they respond. Hopefully you'll see one up on his perch, wide-eyed and regal as he surveys his woods. After the hike, stick around for a bonfire and s'mores and storytelling.
No pre-registration is required and event is held rain or shine. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather as you will be outside for the duration. Bring something to drink, a roasting stick if you have one, camp chair, flashlight or miner's cap and a great outdoor or nature story to share.
The Owl Prowl program is FREE, however a Recreation Passport is required for vehicles entering any Michigan State Park. The $10 Recreation Passport is available when renewing your license tabs at the Secretary of State or at any state park office. For more information: www.michigan.gov/recreationpassport

In normal times, buying a new computer is a rather fun experience. In addition to the endorphin rush caused by plonking down a huge wad of cash for such a small – but often 好看 (that's Chinese for good looking) – piece of hardware, you get to take it home and play with it and discover all the new and fun things that are different about the new toy. Even if it's still running Microsoft Windows, your new vendor has probably come up with some new set of stuff to include with the machine. Or, far more common with me, my last attempt to finally come up with the "ultimate organisation of my hard disk™" was a miserable failure, and I'm excited about trying out something new.
So, imagine my disappointment when I recently upgraded my 15" Powerbook G4 to a shiny new 15" Macbook Pro.[Read Rest of Article]

Isla By Virgil Suárez
In Los Angeles I grew up watching The Three Stooges,
The Little Rascals, Speed Racer, and the Godzilla movies,
those my mother called "Los monstruos," and though I didn't
yet speak English, I understood why such a creature would,
upon being woken up from its centuries-long slumber, rise
and destroy Tokyo's buildings, cars, people—I understood
by the age of twelve what it meant to be unwanted, exiled,
how you move from one country to another where nobody
wants you, nobody knows you, and I sat in front of the TV,
transfixed by the snow-fizz on our old black and white,
and when Godzilla bellows his eardrum-crushing growl,
I screamed back, this victory-holler from one so rejected
and cursed to another. When the monster whipped its tail
and destroyed, I threw a pillow across my room; each time
my mother stormed into the room and asked me what,
what I thought I was doing throwing things at the walls.
"¡Ese monstruo, esa isla!" she'd say. That monster, that island,
and I knew she wasn't talking about the movie. She meant
her country, mine, that island in the Caribbean we left behind,
itself a reptile-looking mass on each map, on my globe,
a crocodile-like creature rising again, eating us so completely.
—for Jarret Keene

Caffeine Crazy
There are few people on the morning shift at Fox Chicago who don't drink coffee. I have to have it – enough to get up extra early (2:38 a.m.) in order to grind Starbucks coffee beans and brew it fresh. On Friday afternoons, I often stop in at one of the gazillion Starbucks so I can refuel, stay awake and shift to "normal" hours for the weekend.
I've been a Starbucks addict for so long, "Starbucks" and "coffee" were among the first words my daughter could read! It's strange since I didn't even try coffee until after I graduated from college. My boss at TVB News in Hong Kong invited me to lunch soon after I moved over from the States. It was a place where the waiters knew him so well, they knew what to serve and then naturally poured coffee for both of us after we ate. I was too intimidated to admit I didn't drink coffee. And it wasn't watery, starter coffee. We were at a fancy, schmancy restaurant that served coffee so strong, it was opaque and almost syrupy. Whoa, was I flying after that lunch!
So now I start every day with what my husband calls "industrial strength" coffee. On top of that, I used to drink just as much Diet Coke. I would actually have one or two cans a day. But I gave it up cold turkey about six months ago after talking with a nutritionist. I switched to drinking water. I suppose that balances out all the coffee, right?

A Michael York tribute highlights this year's Mostly British Film Festival
FILM Swinging London had a brief, faddish life in movies in terms of actual representation, far more fleeting than its influences on music or fashion. But the general cultural shift it signaled did bring some lasting changes to English cinema, notably a new kind of leading man — the period's celebration of youth and dandyism made it OK for men onscreen to be coltish, vulnerable, androgynously attractive. The prime specimen was Michael York, unabashedly pretty and a bit of a toff — certainly no working-class rough like Angry Young Men Albert Finney or Michael Caine.
The Oxford grad joined Olivier's National Theatre in 1965, getting cast in a production directed by Franco Zeffirelli, who then put him in his filmed hits The Taming of the Shrew (1967) and Romeo and Juliet (1968). But it wasn't until 1972 that he was seen by everyone as the Christopher Isherwood figure in Bob Fosse's exceptionally sharp Cabaret, the Broadway musical drawn from that author's fictionalized memoir. Never mind that he (nor Liza Minnelli, for that matter) would never really be a box-office star; as a name, he was made.
York had a good run through the 1970s. He was D'Artagnan in Richard Lester's Musketeer films (1973 and '74), the titular tunic-wearer in 1976's Logan's Run, among the stars committing Murder on the Orient Express (1974), John the Baptist in Zeffirelli's 1977 TV miniseries Jesus of Nazareth, and straight man in both The Last Remake of Beau Geste and the hardly-last Island of Dr. Moreau remake (both 1977).
But the favorite film he's chosen for his in-person tribute this Saturday at SF's Mostly British Film Festival is comparatively little-remembered. You could view 1973's England Made Me as riding the coattails of Cabaret — after all, here he is again as another affable, genteel but cash-poor temporary English émigré to Germany just as the Weimer era is getting tramped by the stormtrooper boots of National Socialism. But the Graham Greene source material (first published in 1935) is strong stuff, intelligently handled by director and co-adaptor Peter Duffell.
York's Tony Farrant is a pleasant, callow young failure, hopeless at any endeavor that might pay the bills. Having lost yet another job (this time in the Far East), he blows into Berlin to visit Kate (Hildegard Neil), the sister whose queasily inappropriate affections he's oblivious enough not to have recognized as such, yet. She's ensconced herself as mistress and second-in-command to Krogh (Peter Finch), international financial titan skating on thin ice amid Hitler's increasingly nationalistic economic policies.
Once again in need of employment, Tony looks to get fixed up by big sis — in fact, his pleasing, sociable English manners could be quite useful to a man as brilliant yet uneasy with people as Krogh. Then again, his gabby naiveté could also jinx matters much bigger than he grasps. It's inevitable in Greene's universe that cruel fate should choose the least guilty party in a web of corrupt intrigue to fall upon, like an anvil from a rooftop.
The role could hardly fall more squarely in York's comfort zone. Yet it would be a mistake to take the seeming ease with which he delivers Tony's very easy personality as anything less than very deft work. No wonder it's a personal favorite — you can sense his engagement in a hundred fresh, surprising, perfectly in-character touches.

Panetta orders ethics training review for officers
Citing a string of ethical lapses by senior military officers, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to review ethics training and to brainstorm on ways to steer officers away from trouble. The move is a reflection of the depth of concern triggered by a series of misconduct cases in a military that prides itself on integrity and honor but has suffered an unusual number of stumbles after a decade of war.

With the 2013 spring and summer fishing season appearing to many who lost their homes and boats in Superstorm Storm as a pipe dream, the annual debate on fishing regulations for the state's most popular recreational species is moving ahead as it normally does during the off season.
Next week, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission will meet, with a subcommittee expected to approve several regulatory options – one of which the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council will ultimately choose next year's summer flounder regulations.
All of the options on the table before the ASMFC take into account an approximately 15 percent cut in quota from the 2012 season, where the minimum size limit fell to 17.5 inches after years at an 18 inch minimum, which anglers considered excessively high.
Recreational anglers were allowed to harvest 1,090,407 fish last season, but will be limited to 977,998 in 2013. According to federal fisheries data, anglers overfished their quota last year, harvesting a total of 1,153,975 fish.
"The 15 percent required reduction represents the difference of the 2013 target in relation to the 2012 harvest estimate," documentation before the ASMFC reads. "Constraining the season has been effective for reducing harvest."
In 2012, summer flounder season was open for 147 days, from May 5 through Sept. 28.
The ASMFC will consider approving the following season options for New Jersey for 2013:
SIZE, DATE BAGSummer Flounder 2013 SIZE (in inches) OPEN SEASON BAG LIMIT 17.5 May 24 – Sept 21 5/day/angler 17.5 May 18 – Sept 16 5/day/angler 17.5 May 4 – Sept 5 5/day/angler 18 May 18 – Sept 26 5/day/angler 18 May 11 – Sept 20 5/day/angler 18 May 1 – Sept 12 5/day/angler 18.5 May 1 – Oct 31 5/day/angler
All of the options represent between a 15.3 and 15.6 percent cut from the 2012 season, which ran from May 5 to Sept. 28 with a 17.5 minimum size limit and five fish bag limit.
The ASMFC will vote on whether to approve New Jersey's proposed options at its winter meetings, slated to be held Feb. 19 through Feb. 21, next Tuesday through Thursday.
Whichever options are approved by the ASMFC will then go to the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council, from which council members will vote to enact one of the options as the official regulations for the 2013 season.
The Marine Fisheries Council is scheduled to make that determination March 7 at 4 p.m. at the Galloway Township Library, Jimmie Leeds Road, Galloway.

Daily Star
---- —
None of my calendars at home or at my other workplaces show that April 27 is Arbor Day. Dates can vary from year to year, but in general the modern-era day is observed in April. In our area in 1927, Arbor Day was observed on Friday, May 6. A number of springtime tree planting projects from that year are still around today, all in the interest of re-forestation.
Seen today along county Route 9 in the town of Oneonta, near the Oneonta Country Club, there is a wooded park area that provides access to Otego Creek. Until not long ago and still seen on some maps, this site was called Hemstreet Park. The origin of this park dates back to April 1927.
Mrs. Florence Hemstreet was a member of the Oneonta Woman's Club and was giving a report to the club on Tuesday, April 26, that caught everyone by surprise. The club had a forestry committee, which Mrs. Hemstreet had chaired for four years. She presented a plot of some seven acres on the western side of the Otego Creek, to be known as the Woman's Club Park. At some point it was renamed in Hemstreet's honor.
As reported in the April 27 edition of The Oneonta Star, "The announcement was received with hearty cheers for the enthusiastic chairman of the committee, who has devoted practically all her time for the past three weeks since the land was acquired in preparing it for presentation to the club." Somehow she managed to keep the project a secret as several people went to work at clearing brush and dead trees on the site and planting some 7,000 small trees, furnished by the state of New York.
Driving along state Route 23 today in the town of Pharsalia, Chenango County, one will see a state historic marker featuring a game refuge, said to be the first such area acquired by New York in 1926.
It was reported on Monday, May 2, 1927, that about 2,000 of this tract of 4,500 acres of abandoned farmland would become a "demonstration forest," with about 500,000 trees to be planted during the season.
Arthur S. Hopkins, assistant superintendent of State Forests said, "The area is essentially a rolling upland with a few steep slopes or deep ravines. There is excellent cover for food for game birds and animals; also excellent trout waters in a network of brooks which comprise the headwaters of the Canasawacta creek."
Oneonta High School students had a half-day of school on Friday, May 6. In observation of Arbor Day, the Oneonta Rotary Club brought several students out to upper East Street to plant about 10,000 spruce and pine seedlings.
"The planting this year will be on the Gifford farm, located on the westerly side of East street near the school house a short distance from the city line," the Star reported. The schoolhouse referred to is the former District No. 4 school, also known as the Yager Hollow School. This planting was to protect the city's watershed. Another group of students had planted seedlings here four years earlier.
John D. Clarke, a U.S. Congressman, was a speaker at a Men's Club dinner of St. James' Episcopal Church in Oneonta on Wednesday, May 4.
Clarke was a resident of Arbor Hill, a residence in Fraser, near Delhi.
Clarke was the author of the Clarke-McNary bill, for the application of reforestation across the country.
Clarke truly believed in his theories of reforestation, beginning with his own planting of numerous rows of spruces surrounding Arbor Hill.
Clarke spoke of how 20 million trees had been planted in the state during 1926, but there was plenty of room for improvement on those numbers, as "this number could be planted on the idle acres of Delaware county alone."
On Monday: Oneonta was visited many times by movie stars in the 1940s and '50s.
City Historian Mark Simonson's column appears twice weekly. On Saturdays, his column focuses on the area during the Depression and before. His Monday columns address local history after the Depression. If you have feedback or ideas about the column, write to him at The Daily Star, or email him at email@example.com. His website is www.oneontahistorian.com. His columns can be found at www. thedailystar.com/marksimonson.

Kate Middleton style: Every single flawless look
By FASHION Staff | December 20th, 2011 | 10:30 am
Kate Middleton style, from the beginning »
We present your complete guide to everything Kate Middleton/Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge/the Future Queen of England has worn since officially becoming destined for the throne. Since her first appearance alongside Prince William in a cobalt blue Issa wrap dress upon the announcement of their engagement; she's wowed as the new heir to The People's Princess throne. Like Diana before her, Kate's got a way with fashion, which this time around has translated to the best high low mix we've ever seen on the celebrity front. Frequently mixing designer pieces with High Street one offs, Kate Middleton's style is as synonymous with Alexander Mcqueen as it is Topshop. The Duchess is also known for introducing little (or at least lesser) known designer labels to the mainstream, making household names of Erdem, Christopher Kane, LK Bennett and Jenny Packham.
We've been following Kate through the stages of her wedding, her inaugural visit to North America (wassup!), and most recently, her pregnancy. It's safe to say Kate Middleton style is a fixture of this here website, but hey, we don't need to convince you. Fancy a gander at any and everything she's outfitted herself in over the past 3 years? It's all here! Just try to pick a favourite. We dare you.

Someone essentially lend a hand to make seriously articles I'd state. That is the very first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this actual submit incredible. Magnificent activity!
Do you realize that you've missed three of the Duchess's outfits since Remembrance Day? Her blue outfit at the Remembrance Day ceremonies, her grey coat and black slacks at the children's hospice, and her blue suit when she signed the book of condolence at South Africa House. What's up? You're slipping!
She is amazing! Love her!
