West orange, new jersey man faces federal charges for armed robbery of money courier
July 13, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A man allegedly responsible for the May 19, 2011, armed robbery of a courier delivering cash to a Newark business appeared in court today to face federal charges related to the daylight heist, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
James Sodano, 68, of West Orange, N.J., is charged by Complaint with one count of conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act robbery and one count of using a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. He appeared this morning before U.S. Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz in Newark federal court and was detained.
"As we enter a summer already marred by violent crime, these charges are an example of many levels of law enforcement working together to stop the senseless bloodshed that destroys lives and creates fear in the people of Newark," said U.S. Attorney Fishman.
According to the Complaint filed July 8, 2011:
On May 19, 2011, Sodano and another armed man confronted a retired police officer working as an armed money courier for a check cashing service as he was delivering a bag containing $400,000 to a Newark bar, shooting him multiple times.
Sodano was arrested by Newark police officers as he attempted to flee the scene in a getaway car, but crashed the vehicle as a result of a gunshot wound he sustained. A bag containing $400,000 was recovered from the vehicle.
The second gunman fled the scene on foot and remains at large.
The charge of conspiracy to commit Hobbs Act Robbery carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of using a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime carries a minimum potential penalty of 10 years in prison, to run consecutively to the sentence for the underlying crime, and a maximum of life in prison.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark; the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, which filed the initial charges, under the direction of Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray; and Newark Police Department, under the direction of Acting Director Samuel Anthony DeMaio, with the investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mala Ahuja Harker of the U.S. Attorney's Office General Crimes Unit; and Robert Frazer of the Office's Organized Crime/Gangs Unit in Newark.
The charges and allegations contained in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the
defendant is considered innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Anyone who has information which may be relevant to this case is encouraged to contact
the Newark Division of the FBI at 973-792-3000.
Defense counsel: K. Anthony Thomas. Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Newark

Anyone think the bird is a Garuda?
"I'm just a passing through Pokemon Trainer,"
the end for the legendary dragon series!!!! now i think its dark/psychic type for the bird and steel/psychic for the buck!
I think the deer might be inspired by the ancient extinct deer, Megaloceros giganteus, that is known for its oversized antlers.
Did anyone notice the antelope has an X in its eye? :D
I'm extremely excited for this new Generation to begin. With all of this new info in mind, I'm suddenly for some strange reason becoming nostalgic for B/W like I never appreciated it enough, haha. I love all of the new Starters regardless of the comments on the designs of Froakie and Chespin, it's a step up, and it all looks appealing. I'm happy to see old Pokémon making a return! The battling is awesome, Psyduck got quacked.
But anyway on the subject of the Legendary mascots, I am so so so excited and happy! I haven't been this excited for Legendarys since Ruby & Sapphire came out.
Their designs are very original, which is step up for GF after BW, (For me, Reshiram and Zekrom weren't all that, I felt they drew them up quick or something just to match in with the colour differences of the Games. Then after bringing in Kyurems relation to them with basically morphing with them? That still hasn't made sense to me, lol).
I LOVE both of the Legendarys here, and I can't wait to see what their types are going to be! And this is the first time I've ever wanted both versions because both of the new mascots seem too appealing and wondrous to not have.
Works for the Stag cause of(according to wikipedia) abundant exudation, which is basically a great flow, of water, or the sparkly stuff in its antler. More importantly, that large tree in the background could be the world tree, I know there are many but still there's one that's a bit bigger, and the hawk makes sense. If the 3rd one is a snake though to complete the trio, well then we have our motif! Unfortunately we won't know till much later. :C
Awesome legendary bird is awesome.
Fan of Generations I, III and V
I'm going to wait for more info before deciding which version to get (obviously) but considering past patterns and its already awesome appearance, I think I'll have to pick Y. I mean, seriously. That is one kickass dragon.
I hope they make few legendaries this time around. I'm sick of having 10+. They're less and less special every generation that passes. I hope there are no more than 5 legendaries, like in Gen I.
Grass psychic for deer
Flying Dark for Eagle
water fighting for the unrevealed one if it exists :-P
I'm actually hoping that there will only be two. Trios are way too common. I'd much rather have another Ho-Oh-Lugia situation than another 'trio' where #3 is unannounced and with an extra bit of data or something allotted to it to distinguish it from the other two, offsetting the balance.
Rayquaza's BST and ability.
Giratina's Origin Forme.
Kyurem's ability to use its brethren as armor.
Do not like.
What if the trio members are one of the first decedents of all pokemon.

A Catholic Way of Being Green: We Need a Human Ecology
Technology that dominates human beings deprives them of their humanity.
The Catholic Church has been green for a lot longer than any modern environmental movement. We are called to a relational environmentalism; one of stewardship with the earth which God has made and entrusted to us to care for and to share. Some in the current "green" movement have lost their way.
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic online) - We recently published a "tongue in cheek", well written article by Peg Luksik which touched upon environmental issues within a comedic framework. Most of our commenter's understood it was to be received, as it was written, in a lighthearted manner. Some did not. I must admit I felt like offering the sage advice my oldest son used to give me in response to one comment in particular, "lighten up."
However, the responses also prompted me to again address the subject of environmental concerns. One writer asked "if someone could enlighten me regarding the relation between the Catholic Church and the energy crisis, I'd appreciate it. I'm aware that the environmental movement brings with it certain connotations, but I don't see anything contradictory with ensuring a just and sustainable future for the people on this God-given planet. Just as we need to respect our bodies as gifts of Christ, so must we respect the home he has given us, I believe. And research is part of getting to that point. What do you think? Do you have any insight?"
Let me give it a try. The Catholic Church has been green for a lot longer than any modern environmental movement. We are called to a relational environmentalism; one of stewardship with the earth which God has made and entrusted to us to care for and to share. Some in the current "green" movement have lost their way. The most obvious example is the inherent contradiction of worrying about polluting the atmosphere with toxic chemicals and at the same time supporting making toxic chemicals available to be ingested by mothers in order to kill the children in their womb. We need a new way of being green, a Catholic way.
On June 9, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI received the credential letters of six new ambassadors to the Holy See. He gave a speech addressing them. In his speech the Pope sounded a theme which is common in his locutions and writings; he spoke of a "Human Ecology". He recalled the "innumerable tragedies that have affected nature, technology, and the peoples" this year. He suggested that "the States should reflect together on the short term future of the planet, on our responsibilities regarding our life and technology".
He said "Human ecology is an imperative. Adopting a lifestyle that respects our environment and supports the research and use of clean energies that preserve the patrimony of creation and that are safe for human beings should be given political and economic priority". He called for a "change in mentality" in order to "quickly arrive at a global lifestyle that respects the covenant between humanity and nature, without which the human family risks disappearing." He said that "every government must commit themselves to protecting nature and assisting it to carry out its essential role in the survival of humanity."
Then, he addressed technology saying, "It is also helpful to ask ourselves about the appropriate role of technology" because "believing it is the exclusive agent of progress or happiness carries a reification of humanity that leads to blindness and misery. ... Technology that dominates human beings deprives them of their humanity. The pride that it generates has created an impossible economism in our societies as well as a hedonism that subjectively and selfishly regulates behavior. The debilitation of the primacy of the human person provokes a loss of the meaning of life".
The Pope noted "it is urgent that we match technology with a strong ethical dimension. ... Technology should help nature develop along the lines envisioned by the Creator. In working together, the researcher and the scientist adhere to God's plan that desired humanity as the apex and the administrator of creation. Solutions based on this principle will protect human life and its vulnerability, as well as the rights of the present and future generations".
There was nothing new in these words. They comport with what this Pope has written and said since assuming office. However, some Press reports focused on his encouragement of "clean energy". In some instances the reports implied the Pope had somehow joined the "Green movement". I thought back to 2009 when Pope Benedict XVI sent a letter to participants in the World Day of Peace entitled "If You Want to Cultivate Peace, protect creation." In fact he referred to that letter in that 2011 address.
In that 2009 letter he also used the term "human ecology" and said similar things as he said on June 9, 2011. The Press explicitly reported it as some kind of papal "conversion" to a green ideology. Reuters report bore the headline "Pope Goes Green". The Pope simply reaffirmed the Catholic understanding of our relationship with the goods of the earth and our call to stewardship of the planet which has been given to us by the Creator as a gift. Here are some salient excerpts from that 2009 letter:
"Without belief in the true God our efforts are in ultimately fruitless, in fact not only fruitless, but they bear poisonous fruit if the Church's magisterium expresses grave misgivings about notions of the environment inspired by ecocentrism and biocentrism, it is because such notions eliminate the difference of identity and worth between the human person and other living things.
"In the name of a supposedly egalitarian vision of the "dignity" of all living creatures, such notions end up abolishing the distinctiveness and superior role of human beings. They also open the way to a new pantheism tinged with neo-paganism, which would see the source of man's salvation in nature alone, understood in purely naturalistic terms."
The reports tried to fit the Pope's letter into a simplistic "green" template, demonstrating they had not read it. In that letter, and in his address to those ambassadors, the Pope repeated themes developed in his Encyclical Letter entitled Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth). Those themes are a part of Catholic Social teaching. They are found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and have their roots in the Bible and the Christian Tradition.
The Pope called for an "integral human development" which recognizes the centrality of the human person and the primacy of our relationships with one another in family and society. He underscored the truth that creation is a gift, given to human persons by a God of love who entrusts us with responsibility for one another - and therefore for the goods which promote our human flourishing. We all have a responsibility for one another. We need to live together as good stewards of creation, recognizing the need first for a "human ecology".
Here is another excerpt from the 2009 letter: "The Church has a responsibility towards creation, and she considers it her duty to exercise that responsibility in public life, in order to protect earth, water and air as gifts of God the Creator meant for everyone, and above all to save mankind from the danger of self-destruction. The degradation of nature is closely linked to the cultural models shaping human coexistence: consequently, when 'human ecology' is respected within society, environmental ecology also benefits".
"Young people cannot be asked to respect the environment if they are not helped, within families and society as a whole, to respect themselves. The book of nature is one and indivisible; it includes not only the environment but also individual, family and social ethics. Our duties towards the environment flow from our duties towards the person, considered both individually and in relation to others."
"Hence I readily encourage efforts to promote a greater sense of ecological responsibility which, as I indicated in my Encyclical "Caritas in Veritate," would safeguard an authentic "human ecology" and thus forcefully reaffirm the inviolability of human life at every stage and in every condition, the dignity of the person and the unique mission of the family, where one is trained in love of neighbor and respect for nature. There is a need to safeguard the human patrimony of society. This patrimony of values originates in and is part of the natural moral law, which is the foundation of respect for the human person and creation."
What Pope Benedict presents is a Catholic Environmental vision which is pro-life, pro-family, pro-poor, pro-peace and fundamentally relational. We are to receive one another as gifts. We must never use human persons as objects. We should receive creation as a gift, our common home, to be shared with one another, and not as an object of use. He articulates a vision for a "human ecology" which can promote a path to authentic peace.
He concluded that 2009 letter with these words, "The Church, for her part, is concerned that the question be approached in a balanced way, with respect for the "grammar" which the Creator has inscribed in his handiwork by giving man the role of a steward and administrator with responsibility over creation, a role which man must certainly not abuse, but also one which he may not abdicate. In the same way, the opposite position, which would absolutize technology and human power, results in a grave assault not only on nature, but also on human dignity itself.
"If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation. The quest for peace by people of good will surely would become easier if all acknowledge the indivisible relationship between God, human beings and the whole of creation. In the light of divine Revelation and in fidelity to the Church's Tradition, Christians have their own contribution to make."
"They contemplate the cosmos and its marvels in light of the creative work of the Father and the redemptive work of Christ, who by his death and resurrection has reconciled with God "all things, whether on earth or in heaven" (Col 1:20). Christ, crucified and risen, has bestowed his Spirit of holiness upon mankind, to guide the course of history in anticipation of that day when, with the glorious return of the Savior, there will be "new heavens and a new earth" (2 Pet 3:13), in which justice and peace will dwell forever.
"Protecting the natural environment in order to build a world of peace is thus a duty incumbent upon each and all. It is an urgent challenge, one to be faced with renewed and concerted commitment; it is also a providential opportunity to hand down to coming generations the prospect of a better future for all."
"May this be clear to world leaders and to those at every level who are concerned for the future of humanity: the protection of creation and peacemaking are profoundly linked! For this reason, I invite all believers to raise a fervent prayer to God, the all-powerful Creator and the Father of mercies, so that all men and women may take to heart the urgent appeal: If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation"
One of the more accurate reports on the Pope's 2009 letter came from Giuliano Ferrara, the director of the Italian daily Il Foglio who wrote "The Pope denounces the ecological crisis but does not belong to the church of Al Gore. Benedict XVI in no way denies human abuse of nature. He notes that he does not share the 'the environmentalist religion or environmentalism as a religion'. The Pope has another faith, based on the transcendence of a God that creates man in his image and likeness to entrust nature to him ... He has, evidently, no need for replacement beliefs, of ideologies feigned as science."
We need to embrace a lifestyle which understands our place with one another - and in the world which God created for all of us to care for, steward and share. We need a human ecology, a relational environmentalism, a Catholic way of being green.

Good article, Environmentalism has been a Christian value for centuries. Environmentalism was in play long before EPA. Example; During the Gold Rush of California, there were companies that used Hydraulic Mining to extract gold from the hills. What they soon learned was that the mining created an enormous amount of erosion that had a negative impact on the rivers and farms down stream. It was halted. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America were created by Christians as a means to appreciate and respect wild life. The Marxist and Radical Left-wing movements created the "Green" movement Earth Day. This is a deceptive weapon against Capitalism. The EPA has shut down our industries under the excuse that they are "Polluting the Air" and Killing Polar Bears. China is now enjoying our industries over there while employing millions of Chinese.

Great article. I have to come at this from another perspective though. I live in Champaign County Ohio where 40,000 other brothers and sisters in Christ live. We are facing the installation of over 150 industrial wind turbines 500 feet high. The manufactures web sites say they should be sited 1500 feet minimum from homes. They are sighting these 900 feet from homes. These appear to be nice green windmills churning in the sky, but after being one who was supportive and now, after no less than 1000 hours of research, have found myself in a position of being totally against. These monsters kill wildlife, including eagles and bats, which offsets the bug population. Whats more, we do crop dusting and our local crop dusters have told us, they won't go anywhere near fields with these because they create turbulence that reach out over 1000 feet, hidden behind them. Additionally, they bust apart. Many have said this is rare but there are videos all over the internet with turbines blowing up. In fact, they just installed and turned on 51 of these 2 counties north of us and just last night, shut them all down because flying pieces of metal from one flew over 1000 feet. These can be placed 500 feet from a road. Imagine metal or ice flying into your car. Also, the magnets for these turbine generators are made in China and it's one of the most polluting plants in the world. Everyone looks at the turbine once it's built and running, but never what its true carbon footprint is in production. Lastly, when the blade comes down and passes the main tower, there is an air compression that occurs that creates a 'womp' sound that is not within the range of the human ear, but falls into the category of ultrasonic waves. These waves effect sleep, hearing, and the fight or flight mechanism when folks are within 3000 feet of the turbine base. It travels across the ground, through walls and into homes. Lastly, recent studies show that home values within 3000 feet of a turbine are reduced 30-50%, if the houses can sell at all. We live in a semi-rural area where people come from Dayton and Columbus to live. The market has been dead for 2 years because of the promise of turbines. All in the name of green energy. They aren't green, these effect people and they effect our very right to own property (see Pope Leo 13th for more on that) I own 20 plus acres and tend another 100. Use heavy machinery, would never think of dumping oils and gases on the ground, but green energy has turned into big greed energy. Lots of tax payer dollars going into these things before they even get turned on. And they don't make a lot of electricity. Nuclear is by far, safer, the greenest and most productive, but turbines are being pushed all over, while Europe has realized, they don't work. The movie Windfall is a good one about this topic that recently came out. I believe God has a plan, the CCC is a narration, narration of that plan, as is the Bible. We have our part to play, but believe God also gives us the means to produce energy in such a way as to not harm our environment and not harm other people. The Green studies are questionable and there are as many now that show the earth is not getting warmer, or the studies are flawed, or the earth goes through natural cycles. God's got our back, at every minute and as long as we aren't being greedy or harming the environment in a purposeful way, I can't help believe He has mechanisms in place that help the earth regenerate. Plus China, India and Russia are putting tons of greenhouse gasses out while our energy goes up and our product and food prices go up, while they laugh at us. As much as I believe we are to be stewards of the earth, simply look at the two commands given to Adam and Even in the garden, only two. 1 – work the garden 2 – be fruitful and multiply. Work the garden, IE, work the earth, take care of it. Too bad we fell and now have to deal with hard tough ground, thistles and thorns. I'd also like to note that most Catholics are NOT doing a good job with the 2nd command in the garden, multiply. Most I know are on contraception, again, we were given two simply commands. Interesting that Eve had no children until AFTER the fall. What were they thinking? Was not having children part of the fall? I often wonder what a pre-fallen child would have been like. But alas, the devil likely knew Christ would come through man and stopping Adam and Eve from procreating might have been his plan. Where am I going with all this. The green movement is very much in control of US dollars and pumping abortion and contraception into Africa and other countries. They feel we are overpopulating. I see nowhere in the Bible that too many kids is bad. All is see is many passages where many kids are a blessing, arrows in the quiver. Our Risen Jesus, save us from the fires of hell and help us to learn and achieve a greater state in your heavenly kingdom through your mystical body. Sure looks like we aren't doing very well right now and the Green Movement is contributing to this.

Deacon Keith: A thought provoking piece! One that is not only true and informative to the reader, but as I read it, I am also reminded of How many do not believe or understand this Truth, based on some people's belief system's of today... be it: Technology, Science w/out God, Me, Myself and I, Superior Ego and Hardness of Heart, which usually equates to no belief system at all, and any other idols one desires to put before God. Some people, coming from this stance, think, as you know, if we believe that God gave us this green earth to take care of, we are to be pitied, still believing in what they believe is "simply superstition". I could not help but have these thoughts of others from my past, or now, enter my mind as I prayerfully read this. To me, this article is a mixture of Information, Truth, and Humility. It tells me more than ever, to continue in humility to those I meet who are not as fortunate as I believe I am. And therefore, I to continue in prayer, and whatever good examples I can show others. And that, I can do only with the Grace of God. A very informing article. A very True article. One that needed to be written. Thank you. Prayerful Blessings...

A serous & truthful article. Environmental issues addressed in terms of the Human Heart, to the cleanliness of body & Soul, which radiation through the works would keep the human & natural environmental to be clean, in the way it is meant to be, to the saying clean the inside before cleaning the outside, which makes the core of its truth to man himself, but again since Man by himself in fault through sin, is unable to keep the environment as seen, but by & In Christ. Unfortunately the world brings out the concerns not by tackling the root of the Problem to all his problems which is in Man himself, but the concerns reflected, arising through the British Monarchy, unfortunately off centered to worship of earth in different names, which is to Paganism & its false notion like the worship of idols is to connecting with God, to a Krisn'a who professes that worship of idols is to worshiping him, that old way of the Baal, is to the same belief ,as if mother earth worship would cleanse earth to its environment, against the truth that man was made for the earth & not earth for man.

Posted August 19, 2009
I recently (Mar. 27, 2009) retired and built myself a hobby shop. I equipped the shop with a new table saw, planer, drill press, new router table, compound miter-saw, cabinet makers work bench, dust collector, and a small wood lathe. A metal lathe and small mill will be my next additions. My third non-repair project was the mailbox bank truck that uses the mailbox door sold by Rockler. I downloaded the plan many months ago and finally purchased the mailbox door this past July. I also purchased the wheels and headlights listed below it. In addition I purchased the small steering wheel sold by Rockler. I built the truck per the downloaded plan and used the wheels (see my review of the mailbox door for more details). I experienced none of the problems mentioned by other reviewers. The wheels seemed strong and adequate with no loose spokes or other defects. I would agree though that any toy using these wheels that would be actively played with should probably have the spokes reinforce with additional glue. Otherwise the wheels are of high quality and very well suited to my purposes.

Had to add a little extra glue. I had three come apart, two were dropped and one just squeezed. The spokes are loose in the hub. They will fall out when they come apart.I guess I should say that I used them for drop spindle whorls for spinning wool into yarn, not model cars that will sit on the shelf. Still I have not had one come apart again after being glued better.

Looks good & machined well. Spokes are merely glued to the surface of a rabbet on the back of the "tire". If using for a kid's toy, I recommend filling the back of the "tire" with wood epoxy to reinforce the attachment of the spokes.

George Patton biography
George Patton was born in San Gabriel, California on November 11, 1885. Considered one of the most successful combat generals in U.S history, he was the first officer assigned to the Tank Corps in WWI. During WWII, he helped lead the Allies to victory in the invasion of Sicily, and was instrumental to the liberation of Germany from the Nazis. He died on December 21, 1945 in Heidelberg, Germany.
Early Life
Born November 11, 1885, in San Gabriel, California, as a young boy, George Patton set his sights on becoming a war hero. During his childhood, he heard countless stories of his ancestors' victories in the American Revolution and Civil War. Striving to follow in their footsteps, he enrolled in Virginia Military Institute in 1904. A year later, he attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, graduating on June 11, 1909. In 1910 he married Beatrice Ayer, a childhood friend.
In 1912 Patton competed in the Pentathlon at the Stockholm Olympics. He did well in the fencing portion and placed fifth overall. In 1913 he was ordered to the post of Master of the Sword at the Mounted Service School in Kansas, where he taught swordsmanship while also attending as a student. Despite his grace with a sword, Patton had a reputation for being an accident prone young man. Some even speculate that his explosive temper and incessant cursing were the result of a skull injury in his 20s.
Military Career
Patton had his first real taste of battle in 1915, when leading cavalry patrols against Poncho Villa at Fort Bliss along the Mexican border. In 1916 he was selected to aide John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces in Mexico. In Mexico, Patton impressed Pershing by personally shooting Mexican leader Julio Cardenas during the Battle of Columbus. Pershing promoted Patton to captain and invited him to lead Pershing's Headquarters Troop once they left Mexico.
In 1917, during WWI, Patton was the first officer assigned to the new U.S. Tank Corps. In France, at the Battle of Cambrai, Patton established himself as one of the leading experts in tank warfare. He earned the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism for his brilliant maneuvering of almost 350 tanks at the frontlines, and for taking a bullet in the leg during battle.
It was during WWII that Patton hit the high point of his military career. In 1943 he used daring assault and defense tactics to lead the 7th U.S. army to victory at the invasion of Sicily. On D-Day in 1944, when the allies invaded Normandy, President Eisenhower granted Patton command of the 3rd U.S. Army. Under Patton's leadership, the 3rd Army swept across France, capturing town after town. "Keep on advancing… whether we go over, under, or through the enemy," Patton told his troops. Nicknamed "Old Blood and Guts" due to his ruthless drive and apparent lust for battle, he wrote home to his wife, "When I'm not attacking, I get bilious."
In 1945, Patton and his army managed to cross the Rhine and charge straight into the heart of Germany, capturing 10,000 miles of enemy territory along the course of the 10-day march, and liberating Germany from the Nazi's in the process.
Death and Legacy
In December of 1945, General George S. Patton broke his neck in a car crash near Mannheim, Germany. He died at the hospital in Heidelberg 12 days after, on December 21, 1945. In 1947, his memoir, War as I Knew It, was published posthumously.
In 1970 the film Patton explored Patton's complex character, which ran the gamut from seemingly ruthless to surprisingly sentimental. The film garnered seven Academy Awards. To this day, Patton is considered one of the most successful field commanders in U.S history.

For college students and graduates, already facing a collective $1 trillion in debt for their education, the fiscal cliff threatens to reduce financial aid available and strip some help for paying student loans.
"Cuts in these programs will push college, and the social and economic stability it provides, further out of reach for millions of families," said Rich Williams, higher education advocate with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
If automatic cuts take effect:
• About 2,260 fewer Ohio students would receive financial assistance from the federal work study program if $3.2 million is cut in the state.
• Colleges would have to cut either 50,000 student employees or reduce the hours or wages for up to 680,000 students under an $85 million cut to the federal work study program, Williams said.
• 11 million families nationwide who claimed the American Opportunity Tax Credit will see that credit eliminated, Williams said. The credit is worth up to $2,500 per student each year, and would revert to the lesser Hope Scholarship Credit, according to the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
• The student loan interest deduction, which allows individuals earning less than $60,000 or couples filing jointly at $120,000, to deduct up to $2,500 in student loan interest, would revert to an older law only allowing deductions in the first five years of repayment at a more limited income, according to NACUBO.
Additionally, originating fees on federal student loans would increase slightly, and Congress will have to act again by July 1, 2013 to keep the interest rate on subsidized Stafford Loans from doubling to 6.8 percent. And although the federal Pell Grant, the cornerstone of federal financial aid, is exempt from the fiscal cliff, it does face a massive $6 billion funding shortfall in 2014-15, Williams said.
Institutions are also bracing for reductions to their research if automatic cuts to the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and Department of Energy take effect, according to NACUBO.
Staff writers Barrie Barber, Steve Bennish, Jackie Borchardt, Margo Rutledge Kissell, Chelsey Levingston and Meagan Pant contributed to this report.

Crazy horse policy
Jul 09, 2008
By Steve Cornett
It's crazy.
Here's a place to go read something crazy.
It's a page of comments on a story about activists' efforts to keep the government from euthanizing the thousands of wild horses that, left to nature would be happy to eat much of the west into dust.
If you click into the foundation's home page, you see the dilemma facing the livestock industry. The comments on the CNN story have both points of view represented. However, notice that the foundation has got a nice financial boost out of the publicity.
If you buy into the proposition that wild horses are a greater symbol of the American west than are cattle and ranchers, the story affords a nice easy way to find a way to contribute money to your cause.
Moreover, it's an easy cause to get your heart into. Who doesn't like the thought of wild horses running free? Of perfect black stallions rearing just like Zane Grey dreamed of? That's why people who think with their hearts—and that includes a bunch of hillbilly singers, including Lacy J. Dalton, founder of the foundation in question and her fellow wild horseman, Willie Nelson—tend to get involved in these issues.
If, however, you think with your brain instead of your heart, and regard it as folly that the government should be buying up scarce feed resources and spending scarce public monies to keep 30,000 unwanted animals, to whom would you contribute
Nobody, near as I can tell. There is not a "Let 'em die" foundation or a "Slaughter 'em and let the French enjoy 'em" foundation.
There should be, although the founders might choose more oblique names. Western Way of Life foundation, for instance. Ranchers Defense Fund maybe. Society for the Protection of the Public Lands.
Don't get me wrong. I like horses fine. I like Lacy J. Dalton fine. I even like Willie Nelson, when he shuts up and sings or writes songs like "I'm crazy for crying and crazy for trying."
But my theory goes like this: You spend too much time in honky tonks and smoking dope, you get cloudy in your thought process.
How crazy is it to use public lands to breed horses for which the only use is going to a tax-supported welfare program?
If you want to have a breeding herd, fine. But then put them to use. Sell them. Eat them. Turn them into dogfood. Anything else is crazy.

For all of you who continue to spread the proganda of the "movie stars" and groups that are making a fortune off your donations while they spread twisted opinions - do your OWN fact finding.... and while you do that, ask Sheryl Crow how many BLM mustangs she's adopted (you can tell a mustang by the freezebrand on the left side of their neck)- NONE! and has she even talked with the BLM to make sure there is a balance to what she is saying?? Probably NOT!!! Oh yea, how about the Humane Society of the US?? the ones that are saying, let them starve on the range instead of humanely enthanizing them... how many homes have they found for the BLM mustangs.... few to NONE!! Then there's the head of the Cloud's Foundation - don't even get me started on that one!! Finally!! Let's keep this discussion to the issue - it's a "unwanted horse issue" instead of pointing fingers at the cattle - there are a bunch more NATIVE species (animals and plants) that are suffering AND the cattle ranchers are in the business of selling beef - they don't turn their cows out when there is NO FEED but they do continue to pay their fees whether they are using the land or not (not to mention provides the wild species with the water rights THEY own!!)

To Anon that posted " loved the article and agree 100%...and why are they having trouble getting homes for the mustangs? Because horses are so cheap now you can buy one that is already broke or even have one given to you!! Way to go activists!!!!"
You have it wrong, It's way to go over breeders. Someone needs to tell the AQHA that if there is a surplus, that means stop over breeding. The AQHA is the number 1 contributor to horse slaughter. 137,000 foals last year vs. 100,000 horses slaughtered.

I raise cattle too. I say leave the horse alone they are part of the web of life as we are. What we do to the web we do to ourselves--who's next?
4:52 PM Jul 10th
Just a thought, but no one here seemed to mention that horses are NOT native to the U.S. They were brought here by Spaniards, and some escaped, forming the original breeding herd of 'wild' horses. The horses increased in numbers from a handfull in the early 1600s, to (if I believe Jon) MILLIONS in about 200 years. To me, that seems like unsustainable population growth.
I think C. J. Has the right idea, we need some REALISTIC policies to fix the problems we have in the REAL world.
I keep hearing the argument about whether the wild horses, or rancher's cattle do more to 'eat the west into dust'. To counter-point this, how many of those cattle are costing the taxpayers money?
1:02 PM Jul 10th
Ironic that when wild horses numbered in the millions, range grasses remained so thick and lush that they attracted opportunist stockmen who reaped quick fortunes running colossal herds of cattle and sheep which, in less than ten years, turned centuries of lush range to dust.
Ironic that, for decades, no complaints were uttered by these newly-rich opportunist stockmen despite over 3 million wild horses competing with their livestock for grass – simply because these same opportunist stockmen were also reaping fortunes selling horses for railroad and street car use, and shipping them by the thousands to Belgian, French and German-owned slaughterhouses in our own US cities where horsemeat was canned for shipment to Europe, and also sold cheap in our own US cities masquerading as beef. In fact, these greedy western stockmen couldn't breed horses fast enough. And, of course, horse theft was rife.
In other words, millions of wild horses competing with livestock for grass was not a problem for western stockmen - not until the introduction of electric street cars and, the final death blow to their easy profits, the bicycle. By the 1890's, despite a good decade of advance notice to curtail their massive overbreeding, even the numerous mid-western and eastern foreign-owned slaughterhouses didn't want the western horses anymore – there were now plenty for sale in every city. So, despite western ranges turning to dust by 1868, it was not until 1894 (when there was no longer a financial advantage in it for them) that western stockmen first demanded iradication of all wild horses.
History repeats itself. Today, despite a good decade of advance notice to today's greed-blinded overbreeders who've been enjoying easy profits at the expense of gross unnecessary cruelty to horses at the hand of a foreign-demand-driven horsemeat trade, the last slaughterhouse in USA is closed and Americans are hell bent on keeping American horses out of Canadian and Mexican slaughterhouses.
Therefore, western stockmen today have no right to be whining that today's pathetically small number – a mere few thousand – wild horses eat grass meant for their some 7 million cattle. What is left of our wild horses do still have a few rights to protection from exploitation, as do our public lands. Under the Taylor Grazing Act (which took decades to get through Congress due to protests from self-centered greedy western stockmen enjoying free reign over our public lands), it is mandated that, in the event of range depletion, AUMs be suspending and/or cancelled. Obviously, the need for a massive cull is within BLM. Heads should roll for this century's gross mismanagement of America's wild horses and America's public lands.

Why is it that the less informed someone is about a subject the more they think anger and indignation make them right. More of the beef produced in the US is consumed in the US than what is exported. Everyone cries about the cost of food now, see what happens if you would take all of the cattle just out of the state of Nevada. A burger at McDonalds would cost $20. The cattle in the west are managed to reduce the environmental impact they cause. This is exactly what the people commenting here are against for the horses. It is a fact of nature that they reproduce and overpopulate certain areas. Their numbers have to be reduced to eliminate starvation and disease. Everyone that is against horse slaughter should have to watch one starve to death or die of dehydration and see which option seems more humane. Also anyone who would like to learn more about how these horses are gathered should go to this website http://www.wildhorseroundups.com/ they tell the story like it really is. Not like the activists would like you to believe.

Whom ever wrote this is a back woods hillbilly themselves!What moron wrote this?Why is there no name here attached to the article here?I can only guess that they wrote this to get a rise out of people and i see they have mission accomplished here.Because any one with a BRAIN knows it is the millions of cattle grazing the "west into dust"
My guess who ever wrote this "TRASH" is himself a cattle rancher! I personally blame the BLM for this.They should have a program to prevent this.We see the round ups every year,why not castrate the young colts and keep only what breeding stallions that should be allowed instead of rounding them up,keeping them into holding pens and selling the mustangs to the meat buyers?The BLM is long over do to get some one with brains on their pay roll.They would rather waste millions in round ups and care for these horses then turn around and kill them, than come up with a plan that would make every one happy including the horses.
This situation is out of hand and it is the BLM who is to blame for this and no one else.IMO there are 6 million to many cattle grazing the west into dust not the mere few thousand of the wild horses we have left!

We need to start a new political party in this country....THE REALIST PARTY.
Real people, dealing with real issues in a REAL MANNER, and comming up with REAL SOLUTIONS!!!!!!!
Maybe it is time to impeach the District of Columbia!
7:20 AM Jul 9th
I love the "it's the cows fault" line of BS... I'm not sure where they get their information but I DO know that just about everyone I know that has grazing leases in NV aren't even using them because there's no feed!! Yet many of them continue to allow the horses access to their water rights - I THANK those "cow ranchers" for ALL they do for many of the HMAs out there!! and I thank the BLM - they take so much flack yet continue to show up and help! (here's some basic trivia for those "experts" out there.... how many HMAs are there and of the total, how many HMAs are in Nevada alone???)
6:11 AM Jul 9th
Do the math, with just the sheer numbers, we can all see where the damage is being done. I totally agree with the commenters that disagree with the way that the BLM is mismanaging these animals and we can all see where their loyalties lie (and the lies that they will tell to advance their own agendas). The taxpayers have not had to pay for the mustangs/burros until the BLM got the bright idea to round them all up and then whine about how much they cost to be held in captivity. The horses, deer, elk, etc. were all living in harmony the way nature intended it prior to man's intervention. When are people going to wake up and do something about these greedy jerks in our government? Will we wait until all is destroyed by man's engineering? What legacy are we leaving the future generations (or do they even think that far ahead?). Leave the mustangs/burros alone. They'll handle their own business and the ranchers need to take care of theirs too.. nobody wants meat full of garbage, hormones, and antibiotics...fix the cows rather than spending so much time sticking your noses into the horses. And thank God for the activists.. somebody has to make some sense in this botched up country.

It is time to get in the real world..........keep the wild horse herds at respectable levels, open up and build more horse processing facilities, so those that CHOOSE to can participate.
It is suppose to be a free country??????????/ right! Those that have no financial interest are dictating policy to those that do....BS!
4:38 PM Jul 8th
I loved the article and agree 100%...and why are they having trouble getting homes for the mustangs? Because horses are so cheap now you can buy one that is already broke or even have one given to you!! Way to go activists!!!!
3:26 PM Jul 8th
Ranchers are only paying 10 cents on the dollar for grazing rights to our taxpayer-owned land. I wish my business had a subsidy like that!
1:10 PM Jul 8th
There are what about 3 Million cattle to maybe 25-27 thousand horses on the range. Who is turning the west into dust?? Cows eat EVERYTHING. Horses do not. I agree the cows are NOT given away for free like the BLM want to do the horses. Actually 97% of cows eating up the west are not even eaten by Americans so this is not about wild west cattle ranchers needing land to feed Americans their beef either. So don't try romanticizing the "cattle rancher" they are feeding the beef every where else except America. The wild horses have just as much right to be there as wild deer, big horn sheep, rattlesnakes and every other wild animal that roams free. The reason so much resources are used on these horses is because they have been rounded up which costs money and fuel to fly helicopter, and then it cost money to feed these animals day after day and to keep them in pens. Guess what these horses would be feeding themselves,which costs nothing, if they were not all in pens. So who is the one that mis-managing the money, hmmmm sounds like the BLM is wasting money from tax payers, not the horses. You want to blame some one Blame them the BLM and the cattle ranchers who want all the land for themselves to exploit. The horses are just in their way, if they were all gone which is the eventual goal, cattle ranchers, hunters, and even oil companies can exploit the rest of the land all they want, all at tax payer expense.
1:03 PM Jul 8th
more resources are used with the cruel and stupid hellicopter roundups than the horses consume. And why are they a problem? Because ranchers want their cows to have the 'free' range instead of the wild horses, do they give that beef away? Nope. If this free range is being given away, I'd rather the horses use it than have it bloat the pockets of some rancher. Its not private land.

"It's a page of comments on a story about activists' efforts to keep the government from euthanizing the thousands of wild horses that, left to nature would be happy to eat much of the west into dust."
30K horse versus the western US cattle herd...which one is the more serious danger to "...eat much of the west to dust"?

Pittsburgh Marathon – running for a reason
This weekend, thousands upon thousands of people will descend on Downtown Pittsburgh for the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon on May 5. Parties, pasta dinners and other events will take place in the days leading up to the big race, which takes place less than three weeks after the April 15 bombings at the Boston Marathon. The Marathon, Half-Marathon and Marathon Relay are all sold out.
Last week, The Almanac ran an article that touched base with Pittsburgh Marathon staff, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and local runners. All were in agreement – the show must go on. Everyone has worked too hard for too long to throw in the towel. In fact, planning for the 2013 race began immediately after the 2012 race. For those employed by the Pittsburgh Marathon, each race is a year-long project that involves multiple tiers of tasks, from course logistics to promotions to, of course, the safety of all involved.
The City of Pittsburgh works diligently, providing police officers, planning alternate traffic routes and, again, putting the safety of the runners, spectators, and all volunteers and staff first.
And lets not forget the runners – training to run 26.2 miles is not something that can be done a mere month in advance. Runners train for months, years sometimes, to prepare. For some, it's something to cross off of a personal bucket list. Others do it to raise funds for charity, in memory of a loved one and simply because they love to run. This year many have added another reason to run – honoring the victims and runners of the Boston Marathon.
Extra safety measures have been put into place, including the banning of backpacks, duffle bags and large purses carried by runners. If spectators or volunteers carry such bags, they will be submitted to inspection during the race and after, and at the Finish Line Festival following the race at Point State Park.
If all goes well, this year's Pittsburgh Marathon will go down on the books as another success for the city and for the Marathon.
Here's to a safe, smooth and – relatively – quick 26.2 miles.

In the small town of Huguenot, Timothy (Matthew Knight) approaches his thirteenth birthday, unaware this milestone marks the time of his transformation. His mother Rachel (Rhona Mitra) fears her son's health is deteriorating. But those around him—those who have guarded him since birth—know Timothy is a half-blood and that when the red moon is full, he will finally have the power to control his family's destiny. They also know that Timothy's gift puts his life in grave danger.
Meanwhile, two packs of Skinwalkers watch the night sky. Bound by blood, divided by principles, and hellbent to survive, they understand that this rising moon signals the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. Consequently, the packs are prepared to wage a fierce battle for possession of the one who holds the key to their future and their way of life.

We saw the "Hurt Locker" last night. I highly recommend it.
We saw the "Hurt Locker" last night. I highly recommend it.
Night Falls On Manhattan
The Wash
Men In Black 2
Over the weekend, I watched Desperation (excellent IMO), and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I just watched Due Date...loved it. My favorite part is when the character is going to empty his father's ashes in the Grand Canyon and he starts off by saying "Daddy, you were like a father to me...." So stupid but I laughed really loud.
I finally got to see Avatar this weekend. Ya, I don't get out much. Thought it was pretty good, not going to be one of my all time favs, but I enjoyed it.
I just watched Little Miss Sunshine. That's one of those movies that I can watch a million times and never get sick of.
Last nights movie was Shutter Island. Thank you NetFlix. I loved this movie.
I saw Back up plan few days ago with my friend! It was a funny and a wonderful movie. Jennifer Lopez did a great job.

Meanwhile, Clark County gambling revenues of nearly $672 million were down 13 percent compared with 2011.
Downtown saw gambling revenue drop 17 percent, while the Boulder Strip had an even bigger fall at 26 percent.
The authority says Las Vegas tourism is up 2 percent so far this year.

Travel to U.S.: West: Downtown Dallas IIIDowntown III is the downtown of the last decade. The economy is modestly more diversified than it was in 1980. More importantly, life is returning as people choose to live in renovated office buildings. Call it a central-city display of the New Urbanist ideal: a mixed-use, compact, and even architecturally traditional community. That's the goal, at least, and you can make the "half-full" argument about as well as the "half-empty" one. Make default image size larger Here is where it began. It's the Harrison and Abramovitz-designed Republic Center of 1954, which replaced Republic Bank's old headquarters--now the Davis Building and also now apartments--on Main Street. Empty for 20 years, developers arrived in 1997 and made The Republic Center into 183 apartments. The conversion of such buildings continues, here with the renovation of the Mercantile National Bank Building of 1943. It's been empty for years if not decades, but Forest City Enterprises is converting it to condos. The building opened in 2009, along with a new linked companion, here shown on the right. Apartments already fill the Wilson Building of 1903. Titche-Goettinger operated a department store in the lower floors until moving to a grander home in 1929. Post Properties converted the building to apartments in 1999 and in 2008 sold it to Forest City. Entrance. A similar conversion to apartments has taken place here in the Kirby Building, originally the office building built by Adolphus Busch to accompany his grand hotel. Downtown attracts mostly young residents. Until 1996, the Main Tower, built in 1972, housed federal offices, especially Health, Education and Welfare. In 2005, DTZ Rockwood of New York City began converting the building to condos under the name The Metropolitan. Potential buyers were offered this tour in 2007. A warehouse gets the same treament. It's the Higginbothan (sometimes spelled Higginbotham)-Bailey Building begun in 1914, expanded at least twice, and converted in 1984 to offices. A new downtown residential population needs support of many kinds. One is supplied by new hotels, bringing excited visitors to town. Downtown has half a dozen hotels now, including a couple of boutiques, including the Joule, a Starwood Luxury hotel built in the old Dallas National Bank building. Its rooftop pool can be seen here, cantilevered over the sidewalk. A more down-to-earth amenity: a small but good supermarket. The "IB lofts" refers to the apartments in the same building, which once housed the Dallas Interurban Terminal and, later, Trailways. Main entrance to the Interurban Building. Entrance. A park is in order; several, in fact, mostly on all parking lots but in this case on top of a new underground garage. In the distance, the old municipal office building. The Woodall Rogers Freeway, an accomplice is the devastation of downtown. Think a pedestrian can get across, or even under with pleasure? That's why a park is planned right here, covering a block-square piece of the freeway and opening a path between downtown on the left and uptown on the right. A set of museums has been created, most modern but here shaped handsomely, both in and out, from Old Red, the courthouse of 1893. New Urbanist developments are popping up all over the city. Compact, mixed-use, and neo-traditional, they cluster particularly along the tracks of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system but are common also in the general area spreading from downtown's western edge north into the very busy area called Uptown. Here, in conjunction with a DART line, a new apartment building comes up. DART tracks, with the same Chipotle sign shown in the previous picture. A few blocks away and with Fountain Place rising in the background, another mixed-use development comes along. And yet another, the development called West Village. The track here belongs to the sentimental McKinney trolley, restored in 1989 after a hiatus of over 30 years. West Village styles vary, but the general formula is shops down, apartments up. Several restored streetcars run past. Some older homes survive in the face of this growing urban intensity. This house, like the previous one, is in the neighborhood called State-Thomas, which at least until the 1940s was a black neighborhood in a very segregated city. Another survivor. Uptown, which rims downtown on the north, is evolving into a combination of low- and high-rise buildings. Uptown's revival began with this building, the Crescent, designed by Philip Johnson and opened as a hotel in 1985. Across the street from it is the Robert A. M. Stern-designed Ritz-Carlton, a hotel and condominium project that looks older than The Crescent but opened only in 2007. Five years later, the owner of an 8,000 square foot penthouse on the 21st floor put it on the market for $14 million. A few blocks to the west is the W hotel and condominium, part of the much larger project called Victory Park, wedged between Uptown and Interstate 35. Another view of the project, which also adjoins the American Airlines Center. The Center is itself part of Victory. The airline paid $195 million in 1999 for naming rights. Just east of the Central Expressway, Trammell Crow and Winthrop Rockefeller funded in 1965 the creation of the Lincoln Development Company. On a 337-acre site, Lincoln built a 7,300-unit apartment complex which is now being gradually demolished and rebuilt as part of the overhaul of the city's inner and especially its northern fringe. Here's a bit of the older apartments. Not half bad. Another view. Here's the newer stuff, which rises three floors instead of two and so packs more units on an acre. |

Not my most detailed pic ever BUT LISSSS'N.
One of the main ideas I was running with for an original series (I had like 6 or 7 scripts for full episodes wrote out and had plans for like 10 more) was.. wait for it... set in a highschool and followed the shenanigans of a bunch of oddball students and their wacky teachers!!!11!11 Can you say "original"? Regardless, I was gonna' put my usual fucked up humor spin on it so hopefully it would be miles different from the norm. I MIGHT go back to this series one day since I think it was actually pretty good - fun writing episodes and whatnot, but something I don't think I'm ready to take on yet. Who knows.
Still, one of the characters from that show is this little munchkin (I am a faggot) Wether or not I decide to go back to that show, no matter what original series I decide to make in the future, I am undoubtedly gonna' be using this character in it! She is, OF COURSE, the absent-minded, fragile-as-a-leaf, ditzy, naive, clumsy, dumb-as-a-brush-but-god-b less-her-shes-adorable super kawaii love interest. Yeah, call her Cat Valentine McFluttershy O' Donna Ditz all you want, I still like her design and would love to use it in a series. She certainly wouldn't be the main central character, but would definately be a love interest. From saying that, you're probably picturing this series as a tween-sitcom with way too many "SRS TEENAGE LUV" moments but no - its still gonna' have my fucked up humor in it, relax. Oh and Kessa's a pretty gay name, might change it.

The beach, the pools, the view – these are major reasons why we travel to the Caribbean. And when we can get all in one, that's ideal. So we scoured the islands to find the best infinity pools in the Caribbean. These spots – with gorgeous views overlooking the ocean – are perfect for sitting back, relaxing, and soaking up that sun.
Four Seasons Resort Nevis
This Four Seasons sits on a large, attractive beach on the small island of Nevis. The gorgeous rooms here may be the highlight, with up-to-date technology, massive bathrooms, and pretty yellow-and-blue decor. But the reflection pool, an adults-only pool overlooking the ocean, is a major perk as well. Poolside guests can enjoy free snacks, as well as poolside lunch and drink service, throughout the day. The hotel also features two other slightly larger pools as well.
