Long Island Memories
I am sure I would not be here today. Patrolman Raynor deserves more than a letter of praise, but as I am not in a position to reward his good work other-wise, I am writing my sincere and humble thanks to the man who saved my life. Signed - D. Johnson It was my misfortune to have my car stolen while it was parked on the Merrick Road. It was my good fortune to live in Freeport, where an efficient police force had the car back in my possession within four hours. I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that I appreciate the efficiency and cour-tesy shown me by the men of your force. Signed --J. H. Pratt I want to thank the Freeport Police Department for their kindness in helping my young son today. We just moved to Freeport, and he is not familiar with the streets as yet. He started home in the wrong direction and one of your officers found him. He was bringing my boy home when I met them. The kind-ness and pleasant manner of the officer who picked him up will mean a lot to 'Mack' and his impression of policemen. Signed - M. Ballinger Z ONING BOARD NEWS The following cases were considered at the public hearing of the Zon-ing Board of Appeals, held June 17, 1953 : 1. Appeal and application filed by Louis Grossman, 198 West Seaman Avenue, Freeport, New York, for variance from Section 5G of Ordinance No. 10.1 to permit the erection of rear room 12X8 feet, which would reduce the rear yard area to 13.93 feet. No objections to the application were filed and erection of this room would not in any way interfere with or detract from the value of the surrounding property. The application was granted. 2. Appeal and application filed by Charles V. Brady, 65 Oakfield'Avenue,Free-port, New York, for variance to permit the erection of rear open porch with a yard of 13.46 feet, which is in violation of Section 5G1 of Ordinance No. 10.1 . No objections to this application were filed. The erection of a rear open porch would not in any way interfere with or detract from the value of surrounding property. Application was granted. 3. Appeal and application filed by Alice Cleary, 93 North Ocean Avenue, Free-port. New York, for variance to permit conversion of two-family dwelling to a three-family multiple-dwelling, which is a violation of Section 6D of Ordinance No. 10.1. No objections were recorded to this application. Inasmuch as no structural changes are involved, there being adequate floor space at the pres-ent time to accommodate three families,the Board granted the application. 4. Appeal and application filed by Blanche C. Millette, 190 West Seaman Av-enue, Freeport, New. York, for variance to permit erection of new dwelling in Residence "AA" district, which requires 7500 square feet of land; this plot to contain approximately 7,000 square feet and to be located on the west side of New York Avenue, 96 feet north of Seaman Avenue. This would be in violation of Section 5D of Ordinance No. 10.1. The applicant in this case desires to di-vide existing property - which she owns - on a portion of which now exists a dwelling. The division, to accommodate a second dwelling to be erected, in-dicates a shortage of approximately 500 square feet in land area. There were no objections voiced to the application and there is no indication of any reason for refusing .to permit the use of the land for this purpose. The application was granted. FREEPORT Your Home Town The Friendly Village Vol. 2 - Nos. 7-8 July - August, 1953 NEW WATER RATES A new schedule has been announced for use of water through out the Village. This marks the first substantial increase in Water Rates since 1928. The new schedule was adopted by the Board of Trustees after an investigation by the engineering firm of Barker & Wheeler, and a study of conditions cover-ing nearly a year. Increased costs resulted in the operation of the Freeport Water Department in the red, so thatthe amounts not paid by water users were made up annually in taxes. An investigation shows that the Freeport Water Department is con-stantly undergoing growth and change. Several developments will become ur-gent within a couple of years. These include: (1) Another large well, with its pumping equipment to cost about $90, 000 ; (2) Replacement of outmoded and small mains with modern large mains for about $85,000. The new schedule is intended to make possible the creation of those new facilities, which will prim-arily be financed out of a bond issue. The new rates will add approximately 15% to present water bills, and will still be considerably below those of water users in communities supplied by private services through out the State. The new r'ates are as follows: FLAT RATE SCHEDULE First outlet, minimum charge $8.50 Wash tubs " 1.25 Bath-room (without toilet) 2.50 Shower room (without toilet) ' . 2.50 Shower bath (with tub) .2.50 Shower bath (other than in bath-room) 3. 75 Toilet • 2.50 Extra'basins 2.50 Urinal 2.50 Foot tub 2.50 Extra bath-tub 2.25 Hose bib 3.75 Hose bib - (used as first outlet) 8.50 Additional family - using same fixtures with first family 5.00 Garage-residential -same as dwelling rates Store with first outlet - sink or residential -same as dwelling rates Store with first outlet - sink or basin 8. 50 Kitchen sink (not fi r'st outlet) . 2. 50 Combination Sink and Wash-tub 10.00 METER RATE SCHEDULE Minimum charge - per quarter (includes 7500 gals, per quarter) 5/8" and 3/4" meter 1 " meter I1/,," meter First 7500 gals, in a quarter - - - - - per 1,000 gals.

A. has sent a vote of appreciation to the Village Board for making Dean Street east of North Columbus Avenue to Rut-landRoad to Grand Avenue oneway streets. Observation in the past two months - the P. T.A. reports - are proving this plan successful. BASKETBALL FOR YOUNGSTERS The Freeport Park Commission has made arrangements for the use of Village parks to participate in basketball games. Nothing is necessary except to report to the Northeast Park -located on Parsons Avenue, or toRandallPark on SouthGrove and Front Streets. Two supervisors, Bill Dodd and Frank Riley will be on hand to register applicants and assign them to teams and appropriate age groups, where they will be taught the basic elements of proper basketball play, and will engage in competitive games with other teams. The facilities are opennot only to younger children, but also to bigger boys and girls. Games will be supervised from 9 A. M. to 12 Noon for the young-age group, and from 5 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. for the older youngsters. At the Northeast Park, Dodd's tiny tots will play from 9 A. M. to 12 Noon, and the older youngsters will play from 1 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. Time will also be allotted for those who are over 21, and have an urge to participate in competitive basketball. With the co-operation of the School Board, plans have been made to transfer the games to the School Gymnasiums whenever the outdoor facilities are not available. NEW ORDINANCES AND AMENDMENTS NewOrdinances and Amendments to existing Ordinances adopted since the last publication, are as follows: 1. Change of zoning from Residence "A" to Business "A" of Babylon Turnpike Woodside and Columbus Avenues. 2. Change of zoning on the southwest corner of Southside Avenue and So.Grove Street from Residence "AA" to Business "A". 3. Amendment to Building Code prohibiting use of old frame structures for the erection of new business buildings in the business areas. 4. Extending the parking-meter zone to areas on North Main Street; WestSun-rise Highway between Ocean and Long Beach Avenues; on East Sunrise Highway between Henry Street and the east Village line. 5. Amendment to Zoning Ordinance so as to make possible, after public hear-ing, creation of parking fields in various sections of the Village, where conges-ted conditions make such improvements necessary. 6. Amendment to Ordinance 7.2, providing that where there is a hardship, the permit fee to builders for use of sidewalk space for depositing materials, be reduced from $10.00 to a minimum of $2.50 per day. Bulletin issued monthly in the interest of residents of the Village of Freeport WILLIAM F. GLACKEN, Mayor Trustees Leonard D. B. Smith Cord Viebrock Seward J. Baker Edmund T.

Brown, Health Commis-sioner, proclaim a water emergency effective during the summer months, to help conserve the Long Island water supply, all of which comes from rain sweep-ing to the lower strata. Every householder is requested to co-operate with the rules generally adopted. These rules provide that no fountains, hose or sprin-klers are to be in use at any time except between the hours of 6 and 9 o'clock in the morning and between 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening. The Superintendent of the Water Department reports to the Board that there.has been practically unanimous co-operation on the part of Freeporters in this conservation move-ment. HOW ABOUT A PICNIC AT NORTHEAST PARK ? The Park Commission invites the use of the picnic facilities at North-east Park, where there is a delightfully shady grove of trees - a cool pleasant place to eat out on a warm evening. Tables and benches have been provided, as wellas fireplaces - where Dad can indulge in his culinary art and be chef for the evening, while Mother relaxes and watches Junior having a whirl in the play-ground area. Charcoal can be procured for the 'wiener roast1 -in case you are all set and find you have forgotten it. No special permit is necessary. All that is required is to register with the Park Attendant before using the fireplaces. The purpose of such registration is to safeguard the children, by having a re - sponsible adult start and 'tend to' the fire. BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED The following permits were issued in the Building Department for the month of June, 1953 : 43 Permits for new construction Cost $ 777,300. 24 Permits for additions & alterations " 50, 716.

Their quick and ready response to our call for help was greatly appreciated. Signed - K. Lewis I would like to commend the action of Patrolman C.Raynor in rescuing me from a mugging attack. If it were not for his alertness in spotting the inci-dent. on Brooklyn Avenue,and his utter disregard for his own personal safety.

Opko Health Inc. Stock Upgraded (OPK)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Opko Health (NYSE:OPK) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- OPK's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 6.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 180.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, OPK's share price has jumped by 59.61%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, OPK should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to -$5.73 million or 13.05% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -33.36%.
- 49.60% is the gross profit margin for OPKO HEALTH INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -3.37% is in-line with the industry average.
- OPK's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.11 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.97 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy The Committee today continues its crucial role overseeing the Department of Justice by examining the plans of the Civil Rights Division and Criminal Division to ensure that the voting rights of all Americans are protected in the upcoming national election. Protecting the precious right to vote is one of the primary missions of the Justice Department. Today, less than two months from a presidential election, we examine the adequacy of the Department's preparation to safeguard the rights of all Americans to vote and have their votes count. I thank Senator Cardin for chairing this important hearing. For the past several months, our Nation has been engaged in a critical debate over the future direction of our country. This national discussion will be meaningless if Americans are prevented from casting their votes and having them counted. Not only does the right to vote secure the effective exercise of all other rights, it also protects a basic principle of our democracy: All American citizens deserve to have their voices heard in their government. The government's duty to ensure Americans' fundamental right to vote should be above politics. Yet, during the most recent mid-term elections, we witnessed partisan attempts to obstruct the path to the ballot box for political gain. In Arizona, we saw overt threats by armed vigilantes attempting to intimidate Hispanic-American voters at the polls. We witnessed cross burnings intended to intimidate African-American voters on the eve of an election in Louisiana. We also saw organized efforts in Maryland to deceive minority and low-income voters with false information about polling locations and phony endorsements. Two years after opening investigations into these incidents, we still await answers from the Justice Department on who will be held accountable for these organized efforts to suppress voters. We also know that photo ID laws have already disenfranchised voters this year. In a committee hearing four months ago, Stanford Law Professor Pam Karlan informed us that "[t]here are already more nuns in Indiana that have been disenfranchised in one election than all the proven in-person vote fraud in Indiana history." I remain disappointed that the acting head of the Civil Rights Division - an institution long committed to expanding voter access - asked the Nation's High Court to uphold Indiana's photo ID law, even though it will limit minority voters' access to the ballot. These observations come at a time when the Justice Department's reputation has already been tarnished by revelations that it allowed politics to affect - and infect - the Department's priorities, from law enforcement to the operation of the crucial Civil Rights Division. On the brink of an important and historic presidential election, the American people deserve a Justice Department that will protect the right to vote without even a hint of partisanship. I look forward to learning what preparation the Department has made in advance of Election Day to safeguard the right to vote. First, what is the Justice Department doing prior to Election Day to prevent problems at the polls? During the recent reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act, we learned that the ongoing presence of discrimination in voting underscored the continued need for Federal oversight of elections. I hope today the Department will offer us more transparency on how many Federal observers and monitors it will use this November, where it plans to send them, and how it chooses where they go. I also look forward to hearing if the Department will consult and coordinate with civil rights organizations to identify potential voter suppression hotspots. Second, I want to know that the Justice Department has a comprehensive plan for responding to emergencies on Election Day. Last May, in a hearing on protecting the right to vote, we heard from civil rights organizations about new concerns that could potentially disenfranchise significant numbers of newly registered minority voters. I want to know the Department's Election Day plan to address the problems that may arise from the anticipated large turnout of new voters attempting to cast their ballots. For example, how will the Department address the need to extend hours at polling places, in case of long lines or lack of ballots, to ensure that all eligible voters can cast their ballots? On a related matter, I am concerned about the Department's practice of using the FBI and U.S. Attorney's offices to provide election coverage. Because law enforcement officials are primarily trained to combat election crimes, I worry that their use in election coverage could be perceived by voters - especially minority voters - as intimidating and, ultimately, chill voter participation. I also hope the Department will assure us that its prosecutors are currently being trained to avoid influencing election outcomes. My concern is exacerbated by the recent rewriting of the Justice Department's guidebook on "Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses." It not only changed from the "red book" to the "green book," but the traditional practice of not bringing last-minute investigations and actions was turned on its head. I hope the Department will assure us that these guidelines will be changed back to the time-honored rules. I want to hear the Department's plans for vigorously enforcing the recently reauthorized Voting Rights Act. I am particularly concerned about the Civil Rights Division's recent shift away from enforcing statutes mandating access to the ballot toward a new emphasis on measures that restrict access to the ballot, namely the partisan pursuit of phantom in-person voter fraud. Last May, I joined several members of this Committee in a letter to the Attorney General asking him to direct the Department to vigorously enforce the Voting Rights Act so that novel photo ID laws would not infringe on the voting rights of racial minorities. We received an insufficient response to our letter. I want to know if the Department will enforce the Voting Rights Act's anti-discrimination provisions against state photo ID laws that deter minority voter participation. Recent election controversies remind us of the critical role the Justice Department has in protecting the fundamental right to vote. I believe that vigorous oversight - combined with a proactive Civil Rights Division and a reactive Criminal Division - is part of the formula for ensuring that the 2008 Presidential Election will be as open and fair as possible. We continue that process today. I welcome today's witnesses, and I look forward to their testimony. # # # # # |

Both Tim and Jane are also reinvigorated by seeing Jonathan on stage. "It's so exciting, and I know those feelings, and the adrenaline rush one gets," Tim says. Jane adds, "When you see your kid do it, you say, 'Oh, I remember that.' It helps you to keep that going and reconnect."
Tim elaborates: "When you do a special piece like Next to Normal and you get to play Gabe, or you do Les Miz and you get to play Jean Valjean, or Margaret in The Light in the Piazza, oftentimes it's a while until you get to have that kind of experience. Those are pinnacle roles. Especially very early on in a career, when you're very impressionable, you'll always take that experience with you and want to have something that will equal it or surpass it."
So, what keeps Tim going? "In some ways, it's continuing that quest to find whatever will make it a mountaintop or pinnacle experience," he says. "Whether you're commercially successful, or you're pursuing artistic interests, or a career, just immerse yourself in it and to become part of that whole tapestry. I also love the community and the ensemble experience of theatre. All of us collectively coming together in one room — from the production team to the actors, the vehicles, the vessels out there on stage who get to tell the story."
18 Dec 2012
"It's just part of keeping the fire lit. You have to keep going." Jane observes. "We're always seeing shows that we look at and go, 'Oh, Jonathan would be great in that part,' or we come to each other with suggestions."
All three are absolute in saying they wouldn't have selected another path. Storytelling, music and the shared joy of being on stage are in their blood. "In all of our passions and in all of our spirits, we have to explore what's going to ultimately propel us to be a giving, loving human being who's going to make an impact in this life. I celebrate anybody who finds whatever that passion is to go on and nurture it," says Tim.
Could the three be tempted to appear together on stage if the right project came along? "Oh, we should! We'll have to see how it all goes," Tim says. "Jonathan is on a real quest [with his own career]. Jane and I are both having phenomenal experiences with our shows." A father and son duo, perhaps? Tim is quick with a title, "A Pair of Shews!"

I would like more Lucas Arts games in general, such as Outlaws. Especially, Outlaws. And any Star Wars games they can get their hands on.
All Monkey Island Games, Indiana Jones, hell all point and click awesome games!!!
I agree! The Dig, Curse of monkey Island, OUTLAWS, Tentacle...all of them!
Where are you marshall? Don't be a fool marshall!
More? How about at least one to start with?
As great as this would be, it seems it won't be happening for quite a while (and that's assuming it does happen).

To sign LucasArts, GOG needs to sign Disney. Disney has always been rather strict about copyright protection and DRM in general, so good luck with that .
LucasArts isn't dead, it's just no longer a development studio. Most of the games they've released were already developed externally (they only developed six games in the last ten years: Republic Commando, both Force Unleashed titles, one adorable puzzle platformer that looks like an indie title, and two obscure console-exclusive titles). While we have fond memories of the LA of yesteryears, the one that made all these adventure games, and Dark Forces + Jedi Knight; the fact is that most of the people who made this old LA have since gone to Telltale Games, Double Fine Productions, or other companies. Very few of the old crew had remained until the end.
Now that LucasArts is dead, GOG.com and CD Projekt RED can buy their licenses and publish all LucasArts games on GOG... and maybe create some oldschool sequels :D
I would guess so. Let's hope the rights are easier to deal with now
So now that LucasArts is dead, does Disney have the rights for these games?
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and The Fate of Atlantis, The Dig and Loom are on steam as are "special editions" of the first two Monkey Island Games, but there is no official support anywhere for or place to purchase Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, the original Sam & Max, Monkey Island 3, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle, or Zak McKracken. It is frustrating that there exists no legal way of buying these today.
Shouldn't that be "*Any* Lucas Arts adventure games"? ;)
Not only Adventure games... All kind of games from Lucas Arts !
And to think that all Lucas Arts adventure games work really well in SCUMM (http://scummvm.org). Meaning that if/when the rights are acquired to these titles, there would be no further effort required.
It's a shame that currently one cannot legally acquire Day of the Tentacle, the best game of the 90's. Unless someone goes totally crazy and sells his box on eBay.
Anyone who has been around gaming a long time will have a deep seated love for any of the old Lucas Arts point and click adventure games. I cant wait till i see GOG selling Full Throttle :)
This probably isn't hte right place for this request, but I'm still +1'ing the crap out of it. I grew up on The Curse of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, and they will forever hold a special place in my heart.
@megarock58 Disney might listen. They're pretty good with their fans from what I've heard.
Any would be nice. Even Zak McKracken would make me happy.
I'd love to see Full Throttle, Dig, Monkey Island series and the rest of the good old 'adventure' games...
Should this now read "More Disney Adventure Games"? :P
"More"... funny.
More? How about "any"?
@Tychoxi they don't listen anyway.
this is a wish you should be directing at LucasArts. Seriously, get into their forums, write letters, send emails and etc.

My wife and i attended an easter seals function to benefit a friends child who has cerebral palsy. They had a bunch of silent auction stuff but 2 in particular caught my attention: a joe paterno autographed helmet and a football, autographed by Joe.
Before we left the bid on the helmet was $200. I put a bid down of $325 and it went for 350. BUT we won the autographed football.
I need some help finding a nice case. The ball is flat and in a box. Do I inflate it? Do i leave it in the box?
I would inflate it but others might disagree. if you inflate it, you could get a real nice case to display it in. Amazon is usually where I get my cases.

Its a nike 3500 with Joe's signature in silver marker. Its deflated but still in the box with the tips covered
Inflate it, display it and enjoy it.
I have never understood the collectors that do not enjoy their collections, but just store them because the item would lose its value. (Not implying you are one of them).
To me, Jay Leno and his cars are the epitome of how a collector should enjoy his collection.
My son bought a football display case at AC Moore if you have one of those around. You can probably look it up online. I have two that Joe signed, one from "An evening with Joe" banquet, and another from a charity auction. The charity auction sits in its original cardboard box with the letter from PSU requesting 'only every other year' so I keep that intact, but the one my wife got signed is on display. It also has about 60-70 players signings from B-W games.
"We want the warriors"
I have the signed Joe Paterno "game used" football from the Rose Bowl with both USC and PSU logo's. It's so awesome and I have it in a case and displayed in my home office. Have lighting on it and it is so sweet!!! Highly recommend a good case, good lighting, and display it proud. Definitely inflate it and show it off!!
Im not sure if its this seller, but I have a few of these cases. My father has given me a football every year since I was a kid, since Im older now he gets me a signed ball (Elway, Favre, Polamalu, JoePa/Bradley, etc).
They arent top line quality but they do the job well.

High-end interior store in Paterson to move closer to Bergen clientele
Gross said the company's decision was prompted in part by a need to be closer to its customers, many of whom come from Bergen County. Other factors include the diminished need for such a large showroom in an era of online sales and concerns about doing business in Paterson, Gross said.
"Paterson has a perception issue, and people do not feel comfortable here," she said. In the past, she said, customers didn't mind coming to Paterson because they grew up there. However, the store is increasingly selling furniture to their children or even grandchildren who have less of a connection to the Silk City.
"It's a foreign place for them to go," Gross said. "Paterson is what it is. It's always been a dirty, gritty city. The fact that we ran this extremely high-end enterprise in downtown was an anomaly."
The decision to leave also was prompted in part by a 2006 citywide tax reassessment that doubled Greenbaum Interiors' tax bill, she said.
The company expects to sell or develop the eight buildings that make up the current showroom and its parking lot — perhaps for housing. Together, they make a 1-acre tract in the heart of Paterson, located one block from City Hall and bounded by College Avenue and Washington Street.
Greenbaum Interiors was founded in 1952 in Paterson by Jimmy Greenbaum, Gross's father, who is still active in the business. It produces small runs of furniture, half-dozen to a dozen pieces, or makes custom furniture to meet customer needs, sometimes producing prototypes for designers or manufacturers. In recent years, the company has increasingly gotten involved in providing interior design services as well, Gross said.
The decision to close the showroom comes as the furniture industry is struggling to rebound after the recession and the real estate collapse, diminished demand and the declining ability of consumers to buy expensive items.
The decision follows the announcement in 2012 of the closing of 81-year-old Bograd's, an upscale furniture store in Riverdale with roots in Paterson, when owner Joe Bograd, the son of the founder, retired. At the time, Joe's son, Mark Bograd, said the business model of running a single, large showroom with furniture owned by the company tied up too much capital and wasn't feasible when business was slow.
In recent months, several furniture vendors that serve affluent consumers, but are less pricey then Greenbaum Interiors, have arrived in North Jersey, among them Stickley Audi & Co. and Signature Leather, both in Paramus, Arhaus in Hackensack and Design Spree in Maywood.
While manufacturers and other businesses have been leaving Paterson for decades, there have been relatively few high-profile retail departures or closures in recent years. The last prominent one was the closure about 18 months ago of a store owned by the national Foot Action chain of athletic shoe outlets, said Sheri Ferreira, director of the Downtown Paterson Special Improvement District.

U.S. Department of Transportation and Better Business Bureau Collaborate to Fight Distracted Driving
U.S. Department of Transportation and Better Business Bureau Collaborate to Fight Distracted Driving

Arlington, Va.
– U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation and Better Business Bureau will collaborate to educate consumers and businesses about the dangers of distracted driving.
The USDOT and Better Business Bureau are calling on businesses across the country to adopt distracted driving policies as part of their employee culture. A strong distracted driving policy helps companies save lives, reduce time lost from work due to accidents and injuries, reduce insurance premiums, and save money.
"Distracted driving has become a deadly epidemic on America's roads," Secretary LaHood said. "We know that educating people about the risk of distracted driving works, and we are pleased to be working with BBB to raise awareness and help businesses and consumers fight this problem."
"BBB is very pleased to help the USDOT spread the word about the dangers of distracted driving," said Stephen A. Cox, president and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. "Raising awareness about the dangers of multi-tasking while driving is vital. We are pleased to help promote this good work of the USDOT."
The national website of the Better Business Bureau will feature a link to a free tool kit that provides employers with suggested distracted driving policies to help keep their employees safe. The kit, created by the USDOT and the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), contains materials such as a sample company policy, a sample memo to employees on that policy, and a sample company press release.
In addition, Better Business Bureau's national website will feature videos from USDOT's "Faces of Distracted Driving" video series. The videos include heartbreaking stories from family members who have lost loved ones due to distracted driving accidents. Better Business Bureau will also provide a link to
, a complete resource on everything having to do with distracted driving.
Nearly 5,500 people in the U.S. were killed and almost half a million were injured in accidents related to distracted driving in 2009. Eighteen percent of those fatal accidents involved the use of a cell phone.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's campaign against distracted driving is a multi-modal effort that includes automobiles, trains, planes, and commercial vehicles.
On September 30, 2009, President Obama signed an Executive Order directing federal employees not to engage in text messaging while driving government-owned vehicles; when using electronic equipment supplied by the government while driving; or while driving privately owned vehicles when they're on official government business. The order also encourages federal contractors and others doing business with the government to adopt and enforce their own policies banning texting while driving on the job.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) banned commercial truck and bus drivers from texting while driving in September 2010, and proposed a ban on the use of cell phones by commercial drivers in December 2010. In September 2010, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposed a ban on the use of electronic devices by drivers operating a motor vehicle containing hazardous materials, in conjunction with the proposed FMCSA ban.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) banned rail employees from using cell phones or other electronic devices on the job following a September 2008 Metrolink crash in Chatsworth, California that killed 25 people.
After a Northwest flight crew distracted by a laptop overshot their destination by 150 miles, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) advised air carriers to create and enforce policies that limit distractions in the cockpit and keep pilots focused on transporting passengers safely.

No-one Can Change the Truth About Fatherhood. Love Your Father. Be a Good Father
No matter what the US Supreme Court says, marriage is what it is. So too are fathers and mothers. No court, no legislature, no movement for cultural revolution can change the structure of reality.
Do Fathers really matter? Do mothers really matter? Does marriage really matter? Does a child have a right to a Father and a mother? Of course! Our Nation is rushing headlong into moral collapse as we jettison the unique gift and role of fathers and mothers for some profane counterfeit of two mommies or two daddies, in a social experiment which is dangerous for our children, destructive of family and devastating to the common good of the social order. Today, let's pause to honor Fathers and Fatherhood.The activism, prayer and sacrifice which lies ahead will come soon enough.
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - It is Fathers Day; a secular Holiday with extraordinary spiritual meaning and vital social importance in a culture which is rejecting the unique gift of fatherhood, motherhood, marriage and the family and society built upon them.
I write at the beginning of the week when I expect the U.S. Supreme Court to issue its opinion in two cases on marriage.
Marriage and family have been inscribed by the Divine Architect into the order of creation. Marriage is ontologically between one man and one woman, ordered toward the union of the spouses, open to children and formative of family. Family is the first vital cell of society; the first church, first school, first hospital, first economy, first government and first mediating institution of our social order. The future of a free and healthy society passes through marriage and the family.
Marriage as existing solely between one man and one woman was not an idea manufactured by the Christian Church. It precedes Christianity. Though affirmed, fulfilled, and elevated by Christian teaching, the truth that marriage can exist only between one man and one woman is not based on religion or revelation alone, but on the Natural Moral Law, written on the human heart and discernible through the exercise of reason.
No matter what the US Supreme Court says, marriage is what it is. So too are fathers and mothers. No court, no legislature, no movement for cultural revolution can change the structure of reality.
Do Fathers really matter? Do mothers really matter? Does marriage really matter? Does a child have a right to a father and a mother? Of course! Our Nation is rushing headlong into moral collapse as we jettison the unique gift and role of fathers and mothers for some profane counterfeit of two mommies or two daddies, in a social experiment which is dangerous for our children, destructive of family and devastating to the common good of the social order.
Today, let's pause to honor Fathers and Fatherhood.The activism, prayer and sacrifice which lies ahead will come soon enough.
St Paul wrote to the early Christians: "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."(Ephesians 3:14 - 19)
Those profound words were written to the Christians in Ephesus. The Greek word for Father and family are connected. Paul is using them in a sort of play on words to make a profoundly important theological and ontological point. Fathers are the foundation of families, they give them identity and meaning in both life and in death. The Catholic Catechism says, "The divine fatherhood is the source of human fatherhood; this is the foundation of the honor owed to parents." (CCC#2214)
The Biblical understanding of naming someone was a far more significant action than many contemporary approaches to choosing names communicate. To name was understood to confer identity and introduce the child into an ongoing relationship. Naming still confers identity and relationship. Understanding the implications of that fact takes a lifetime, and beyond.
On this weekend when we all stop the frenetic pace of life to honor and remember fathers, we have an opportunity to reflect on what really matters most in our lives. The ones who have "named" us, our fathers, have helped to give us our identity. They are a gift to be received from the very hand of God the Father. We should thank them if they are still with us, and shower them with affection. If not, we should still thank them, honor them, remember them - and continue to learn all we can from the example of their lives as we seek to live our own in love.
I lost my father in 2001. Lord how much I miss him. It does not go away. It is hard to believe it has been that long. In that same year, my beloved wife also lost her father, my father in law, with whom I also had a wonderful relationship. We refer to that year still, with a heartbreaking sadness, as the year of our two fathers. When father's day rolls around, we still grieve, even as we laugh and remember them both.
Just recently I lost my beloved mother. This is the first year I will face Fathers Day without a mother or a father. At least, physically present. I know they live on; not only in the Lord, but in my life as I seek to live my own vocation as husband, father, grandfather and deacon of the Church. So, this year seems to be especially hard. As I age, I realize how much I am like my father, both for good - and not so good.
My expressions, my tone of voice and my temperament, all reflect his influence. As I age I grow in my respect for him and all of the sacrifices he made for me, my brothers, my sister and my mother. I also wish I had had more time with him. Trusting in the mercy and love of God, and growing older, I now know that wish will come to pass. I eagerly await it.
My father's favorite song was the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World". Each father's day since he died, in a melancholy mix of mourning and memories, I listen to that song and shed more than a few tears. As the years go by, its words and insights open up in their simplicity and wisdom.
My father understood that the words spoke to the things that really matter - once everything that pretends to matter is stripped away. As his life unfolded in those later years, when his congestive heart failure seemed to take its greatest toll, he loved the song and the sentiment it expressed even more.
As the years have passed, my sense of loss has not dissipated. It has only changed. As I so often tell grieving family members at funerals in my ministry as a Deacon, the pain of loss on the memory of our deceased loved ones is just another manifestation of the eternal nature of all love.
This weekend, I will know the truth of that insight once again as I watch the smiling eyes of our sixth grandchild who lives with us, along with his mother, our dear youngest daughter. I only wish my Dad were with us to enjoy these precious moments. When we are with our own children and grandchildren, we tell the stories of our fathers with fondness and ever deepening gratitude.
My father grew in tenderness and compassion as he faced death. It is funny how difficulties and struggle, suffering and strife, seem to be the most effective means of refining us all. He finally died of the heart ailment which had claimed so much of his vigor.
However, like every struggle my father faced, he did not give up. He was a fighter and he did not want to go. In fact, I was at his death bed a couple of times, or so we thought it was his death bed. He decided he had more jokes to tell and more love to give.
It was that fighting spirit which I have particularly grown to admire as the years have passed by. Thank God he passed it on to me. Oh, as a younger man, he perhaps fought some of the wrong battles. I know I certainly did. We all do. But, that does not really matter any longer.
Life smoothes it all out and time presses us into deeper love. I see now that it only gave him time to smooth off the rough edges of a hard life and to simplify. So it is doing with me, his son. I hope he is proud.
How my father loved to hear from us as he grew older. Sadly, in retrospect, I regret just how little we really called. How I would love to have just one of those conversations today. I miss him. I think back on those final years with my own father and I still have regrets.
Though we can't get those years back, time is meant become a tutor as its highway stretches out before us. The lessons abound. The memories of the time I did have with him take on new meaning as I walk along the path that he did, raising my family and trying to love in both word and deed.
Now, at fifty eight years old, I remember him in his fifties, and his sixties. I cherish the last times we had and I share with my own grown children, and grandchildren, the stories, and his humor. In fact, in what is the most common experience of all, I actually tell his jokes, use his expressions, both facial and verbal and, in so many respects, I have become just like him. When I was in my twenties, it was one of my greatest fears. Now, it has become one of my greatest honors. How I love him more with each passing year.
Our earthly fathers and our relationships with them reflect the great meaning they symbolize in the eternal framework. Our Heavenly Father has given us His very name, His identity. In and through Jesus Christ, His only Son, we have now become "sons (and daughters) in the Son" - through our Baptism of new birth in water and the Spirit. We are a part of an eternal family, and as the apostle Paul told the Christians in Rome, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord, not even death. (Romans 8:38, 39)
I am always glad when Fathers Day falls on a Sunday; it gives me a special opportunity to pray at Mass for my father and my father in law. Fathering is a great gift and a great responsibility. I cannot live it in its fullness without grace, the Divine Life of God which is given to us through Jesus Christ and mediated through our life in His church, in Word and Sacrament. In the Holy Eucharist we receive the One who is the Source and means of all grace.
As a Catholic Christian, I know - not just hope- that I am still joined to my father and my father in law in the communion which stretches through time and into eternity. Living in the Church is a participation in an eternal communion of love. At that moment in the Canon of the Mass when we pray for those who have died, I always pray for them both and will do so on Father's day. As a Deacon, I feel honored to be so close to the Altar when I offer that prayer.
I miss my father this Father's Day. I guess, following my own instruction, it simply shows me how much I loved him - and still love him. If you still have your father with you, love him openly and affectionately and let him know how important he is to you. Together, let us celebrate the Gift of Fatherhood and kneel before the Father from whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named in deep gratitude for the very gift of Fatherhood.
On Fathers Day.Remember, no-one Can Change the Truth About Marriage, Fathers and Mothers. Love Your Father. Be a Good Father.Happy Father's Day.

Wow, I'm surprised by the number of people who support (or at least seem to support) gay marriage browsing this site. I'm surprised at the people saying that this article is hateful or promotes hate. There is language firmly but not harshly denouncing same-sex relationships and the gay marriage agenda. There is no language of hate, no language of intolerance, no more so than a priest saying, "Kids, you shouldn't steal from the snack machine even if you really have a craving for those Pop Tarts. No, there's no exception if you have an eating disorder that compels you to put on weight and you're out of quarters."
Some--no, a lot of people--will be offended, but that is no reason to stop telling the truth.
There is no definite proof that children raised by same-sex parents do as well as those raised by heterosexual parents with all other factors accounted for. Most same-sex households with children have a history of divorce. The studies that have tested those that are "pure" same-sex households without histories of divorce have faulty population samples that are not random and not, from a professional objective standpoint, able to represent the overall gay population. Many of the popular research studies used in court rulings have drawn from the biased research of a limited pool of pro-gay advocates.
There cannot be the same love in a same-sex relationship as in a heterosexual relationship, because the object of their "sexual intercourse" (two men or two women can't really be said to be able to have true sex) is not to give of themselves with the possibility of bringing forth new life but to gain pleasure for themselves. They cater to each other's desires, but they do not love each other enough to say, "You know what, I have an STD, and I don't want to give it to you, so let's be celibate from now on." They don't love each other enough to say "Hey, I don't want to do this with you because it is likely to lead to infections and perforations, and I don't want to hurt you." The practicing gay population has a ridiculous rate of STDs and STIs. It is also becoming increasingly obvious that, especially for men with same-sex attractions, monogamy is not necessary or expected in gay culture. Gay marriages are often not monogamous but "monogamish." They are "emotionally faithful" to each other but have sexual exploits with others, as well, with each other's permission. This is practiced because they believe that at least men are "not made to be monogamous." But, while this may give them more "variety," it also drastically increases the chances of contracting STDs and STIs. This is not so much love as lust. If these people cannot restrain themselves with knowledge of the extreme risks to their health, then there is something wrong with them, just like people with eating disorders. It does not mean that they should be ashamed of their struggles, but it should be addressed as a problem that needs to be fixed, not promoted.
People want to make this unhealthy lifestyle a part of "normal marriage"? People want children to be raised in these families and grow up to be AIDS orphans? That is not love.
No Catholic organization wants to lose tax-exempt status, but if that is the alternative to being forced to promote something so sinful and unhealthy, then we will gladly accept this whip of persecution. This is for the sake of our God and Savior, and for the sake of the people who suffer from same-sex attraction and are deluded into harming themselves spiritually and bodily. Rome, a nation that promoted same-sex relationships, fell, leaving only the Church. The same will happen again as moral problems like these naturally eat away at the legal and economic structure of our society. -

Thank you for standing in solidarity with family and most particularly fatherhood! As I stated on another post, quite a few in my generation are taking these teachings to heart and learning from them, encouraged by them. Far too many have not had the wonderful father that you've had. Most of us who have been raised by the cultural norms of same sex or single parents are searching for a better way. We already have experienced what doesn't work and want more for ourselves and our own children. If not for men such as yourself, we would have nothing to go on but the shouts of your opponents. Keep on teaching. Keep on leading .. We're listening .. Show us the way. A father to the fatherless. That's what I see in you. God Bless you and all the men out there who choose to lead us out of the confusion of our times.

TO MY FATHER, My COMPASS, My GUARDIAN
Father from whom my life did sprout
very proudly from the rooftops I shout
what an exceptional father "thou art"
our Heavenly Father did set you apart
to fulfill a strenuous multitask
raising 9 kids, what more could you ask.
you forgot about yourself completely
you lived your life very discreetly
it was all about us, your kids
never about you, Heaven forbids
father, thru all the years of hard labor
you never acted as a ferocious dictator
you loved us with all your might
having you as our dad was a delight
everybody could always count on you
you never said no even if you wanted to
father, the one we always relied on
except now that you are gone
to join our mommie your beloved wife
for ever together now in the afterlife
telling you "I love you" the pain does soften
I wish I would have told you this more often.

I was going into my fourth year in college in 1978 when I lost my father. From then a vacuum had been created in my life. When I contrast this with some modern African children who would not care a dime whether their father lived or not I tend to wonder the future of fatherhood. This is more so when most of the western world celebrating and clamoring for gay marriages (and indeed this is growing by the day in the developing nations). How will these set of people give birth to children that will call them either father or mother? Despite this I still think God has wonderful plans for his creatures and so human fatherhood and motherhood will blossom to the full glory of God through Jesus our Lord.

Thank for another honest article. The Liberal Leftists and Homosexuals that HATE what you articulate in this article HATE what Jesus Christ says in the Gospel. This goes back to what Christ said in the Gospel, "They will HATE you for serving me". Truth be told Liberals and Homosexuals HATE God, Jesus Christ, and Christianity. Why?? Because God does not tolerate their perverse behavior and they know it. God LOVES all of us sinners and wants us to be reconciled with him. It's a choice. Do we accept God's Love or be ruled by our carnal desires.

Hebrew 2
"[1] Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.[2] For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;[3] How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him"
Fathers are troubled today by a reduction in standards outside the family ... that reduction is not from a new type human...coins do not have piety for women and children .It's great to become a Father... and to do so at times without any concern for the current events or anyone's economic state.
Father's Day does have a companion...Mother's day. There are children mind you, that need not be troubled with who indentured them to whom first...then next...and next. They are satisfied with just being present...and so should we then.
Happy Father's Day... -

How sad are the times we live in. We all know what a natural family is, we all came from one,no matter how fragmented.
As the article states eloquently, we are influenced by our families.
How is that children will not be influenced to become gay by their "family" of 2 men, or 2 women?
I think children deserve our protection, for they are the future. I read in the San Diego union
newspaper about a boy taken from his mother for being unfit. The judge gave custody to 2 gay men, who not only sexually abused him, but sold him to their gay friends. How can 2 gay men not have sexual feelings towards a young man they have custody of? They could condition the child to accepting sex with their 2 fathers in the that " family unit! Why would people want to make it lawful that gays have an absolute right to adopt children by supporting gay marriage? Words have meaning, and signify rights at times, so don't call a union between 2 same sex persons a marriage.
I will draw the furious hate of many social experimenters upon me for saying so, but I don't believe the country will have much strength if sexual acts between 2 men or 2 women become a new norm forced upon us in the name of equality, to prohibit "discrimination". A "gay" gene that forces people to be homosexual is not a proven fact. Its mentioned by gays to justify their type of sexual behaviors, which they must be ashamed of inwardly.
Gay marriage is just an invention to let homosexuals feel better about the type of acts they engage in which inside they know are abnormal.
Why such hatred toward the deacon who expresses the value of fathers so well?

NSS New York Roundup {Figs and Ginger}
categories: life, sunday finds, the rest
Another find from the National Stationery Show in New York. For me, Figs and Ginger really stood out at the show, their work was different, quirky and eye catching, not to mention displayed beautifully.
All of Figs and Ginger's items are made in the mountains of North Carolina with sustainable harvested wood. I especially love the cake toppers and wedding bunting, and how perfect are the coat hangers? I see many wedding shots of beautiful bridal gowns and bridesmaids dresses hanging on a not so nice coat hanger – these are the perfect solution!

Good Morning! Areas of fog and freezing drizzle developed overnight, creating some slippery roads as temperatures fell below freezing. The clouds this morning will move out later this morning, so most of the day will be sunny. It will be breezy with a north wind at 15-30 mph. This afternoon's high will be near 17*. Clear skies will remain for tonight, and combined with lighter winds, will make for a chilly night. Low near -3*, with a west wind at 0-10 mph.
Temperatures will be on the rise this weekend, as a warm front begins to move through. Expect highs to be in the 20s on Saturday, and possibly 40s for Sunday. The pleasant weather continues into next week, with highs into the 20s and 30s.
