Four indicted in Bergen County cocaine ring
Two men who had been living in a Hackensack apartment were indicted along with two others Thursday on drug charges related to a cocaine-trafficking ring they allegedly ran in Bergen County, state law enforcement officials said.
The four men were arrested last year at a warehouse in Metuchen, where police found 40 kilos of cocaine worth $1.4 million, and $1.1 million in cash, Jeffrey S. Chiesa, the state attorney general, said in a statement.
The cocaine was found in hidden compartments in two cars at the warehouse, and the cash was found in a false fuel tank in a truck that investigators observed leaving the warehouse about 30 minutes after it arrived there, Chiesa said. Police said they found an additional $30,000 in cash in an apartment on Gardner Place in Hackensack where two of the defendants, Cesar E. Perez, 53, and Divanis A. Mendoza, 35, had been living.
The warehouse, Chiesa said, was the hub of a drug trafficking network that operated out of Bergen County.
Perez, of Metuchen, and Mendoza, of New York City, were indicted Thursday, along with Carlos R. Marroquin, 51, and Juan C. Roque, 30, both of Los Angeles, on charges of first-degree possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, first- and second-degree conspiracy, first-degree money laundering, and third-degree cocaine possession. Perez and Mendoza also were charged with third-degree money laundering.
The four men are being held at the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, where they have been held since they were arrested by the state police on July 24, in lieu of $250,000 bail apiece. They were indicted by a Mercer County grand jury, but the case will be heard in Superior Court in Hackensack, Chiesa said.
The arrests were the result of an investigation by the state police, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the New York/New Jersey Drug Enforcement Task Force and the Metuchen Police Department, Chiesa said. He said the suspects face 10 to 20 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines if they are found guilty of the first-degree charges.
They allegedly were trafficking in "millions of dollars in narcotics," Chiesa said, and the Metuchen warehouse, located on High Street, was being used as a "hub for shipments."
The state police superintendent, Col. Rick Fuentes, said the use of hidden compartments, which could be opened electronically, indicated that "this was a sophisticated criminal enterprise."

This was pretty good, but I did think it could use some more flavor. Next time I would increase the basil and maybe add some onion salt. The parsley doesn't add a lot to the taste although it makes the bread look wonderful to serve.

Dennis Walden

Comment: After reading the reviews on the Scorpion Helmets, decided to buy the clear visors to go along with them. Perfect compliment to the helmet, so we now have the smoke visor and the clear for night riding.

Comment: Everything I expected, fast shipping. Love this helmet and the ease of swapping visors. Would recommend jafrum!
Buffalo NY
Comment: I purchased the clear shield and it has been worth the money. Easy to swap out with the smoke shield that comes with the helmet. My only recommendation would be that you offer the clear shield with the helmet purchase for convenience. I put the clear shield on and haven't used the smoke shield at all.
Comment: Glad I had this visor in addition to smoke visor for my recent long trip. See my "Really Good Helmet" review of the Scorpion EXO-100.

2008 Tour de France: Results
Stage 1: Valverde Takes the Lead
A final surprise assures a memorable start to the 2008 Tour de France
James Startt
Alejandro Valverde
James Startt
Tour de France organizers tried everything to make the start of this year's Tour unlike any other in modern history. And by eliminating the prologue as well as time bonuses, stage one of this year's race promised to take on new meaning. The fact that it skirted through the sinuous and narrow country roads of Brittany seemed to assure particularly nervous racing from the get-go of the 2008 Tour de France.
With high winds along the coastal roads, many feared that the race would splinter into several groups during the 197.5-kilometer stage from Brest to Plumelec. There would be crashes. Favorites would lose time. The face of the Tour would be dramatically altered after only a single day of racing, many predicted.
Riders appeared nervous at the start. "It's going to be a lot more complicated today," said Australian veteran Stuart O'Grady just minutes before taking off. "It's much more serene with a prologue when everybody has already lost a minute."
But despite the predictions, despite the fears, much of stage one appeared like that of any other year.
Ironically only two kilometers into the stage, an eight-rider breakaway formed. And they stayed away until the final kilometers of the race. What happened to the incessant attacks? What happened to the constant crashes? Well, that's bike racing
So instead of non-stop suspense, the Tour enjoyed a gentle start.
No one was surprised to see Frenchman Thomas Voeckler in the first break. In 2004 similar tactics won him the yellow jersey for 10 days. And nobody was surprised to see Spaniard David De la Fuentes in the mix either, as he won the most aggressive rider award in the 2006 Tour.
Along with the other riders, the group rolled through the lush countryside of Brittany. First there were the colorful villages of the Finistere region, with houses in pink and blue. Then there were the picturesque villages of the Morbihan, with house of warm stone.
There were also the fans that typically held up hand-made banners encouraging the riders and the race. "Vive le Tour," said many. "Vive le Velo."
Others simply used the occasion to purport personal views. "No gas in cars!" one supporter manifested. Alas the Tour offers something for everyone.
At one point the break amassed an eight-minute lead before the peloton ignited and started the chase. And from that point on, the traditional early break prepared for its inevitable demise, one where the final riders would be caught in the final kilometers.
Fortunately, however, Tour organizers prepared for such a scenario. And they had a plan B that would assure that there would be nothing routine about the finish. By placing the finish at the end of a nearly two-kilometer climb the mass field sprint was virtually impossible.
Although the American Team Columbia did its best to lead out their up-and-coming British sprinter Mark Cavendish or all-around rider Kim Kirchen, once the road climbed toward the final finish in Plumelec attacks exploded the field.
Until the final meters, German Stefan Schumacher appeared headed to victory, but as his pedal stroke faltered in the final 200 meters the pack again closed in and finally Spaniard Alejandro Valverde bolted off the front for a dramatic victory.
"Well," one could almost hear race director Christian Prudhomme sigh. "We did it. We avoided the inevitable field sprint!"
In fact the race did much more than that. Valverde is a top pick for the final podium in Paris. And he is already wearing the yellow jersey after the first stage.
"It's a great start to the race," Valverde said afterward. "It's an ideal way to kick off."
And few would disagree. He has a strong chance of keeping the jersey tomorrow as the stage is much flatter and should give sprint teams a chance for a bunch finish. He may even keep it until the Cholet time trial on stage four.
But then the Tour will take on a different face and even Valverde knows that race will begin. Putting today's performance in perspective he cautioned, "You know, the most important thing is to have the yellow jersey when the race finishes in Paris."

Inside Collection: Advanced Algebra II: Activities and Homework
Summary: This module provides sample word problems which develop concepts related to further uses of radicals.
Let's start off with a bit of real life again, shall we?
Albert Einstein's "Special Theory of Relativity" tells us that matter and energy are different forms of the same thing. (Previously, they were thought of as two completely different things.) If you have some matter, you can convert it to energy; if you have some energy, you can convert it to matter. This is expressed mathematically in the famous equation
The following figure is an Aerobie, or a washer, or whatever you want to call it—it's the shaded area, a ring with inner thickness
Aerobie |
OK, that's enough about real life. Let's try simplifying a few expressions, using the rules we developed yesterday.
Let's try some that are a bit trickier—sort of like rational expressions. Don't forget to start by getting a common denominator!
And now, the question you knew I would ask…

NAACP's Beth Glenn Talks African American Youth and Education
"The glaring disparities experienced by black students cries out for leadership from a race-specific lens."
In advance of the NAACP's 8th Annual Leadership 500 Summit, which will hit Destin, Florida, May 24 through 27, we sat down with the new guard of the 103-year-old civil rights organization to discuss the biggest issues impacting African Americans today and what we can do about them.
These five dynamic young women are leading the march toward equality in these decidedly turbulent times. Today, we talk to Beth Glenn, Director of Education Programs.
Name: Beth Glenn
Age: 37
Title: Director, Education Programs
Joined NAACP Staff In: 2009
Previous NAACP Position: National Voter Fund Volunteer
Loop 21: What drew you to work with the NAACP?
Glenn: When I helped register voters and get them to the polls in 2002 in Florida, I was reminded of the power and potential of the NAACP. When the opportunity arose to help the association reinvigorate its education organizing infrastructure, I saw it as a privilege and opportunity to work with the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Plus, the glaring disparities in the quality of teaching and learning experienced by black students really cries out for leadership from a race-specific lens.
[ALSO READ: A War On Higher Education?]
Loop 21: What is your background in the education sector?
Glenn: My mom was a public school educator for 20 years and later a teacher educator, so I grew up talking and thinking about how to improve schools. I was drawn to education policy when I was a reporter and editorial writer for newspapers, and then focused on it again during my graduate policy studies. Serving as a staffer for an African-American member of Congress and later an education policy tank only solidified my conviction that reshaping the school experience for students of color is central to the health of the nation and the African-American community.
Loop 21: What is the biggest education issue facing the black community today?
Glenn: The education crisis facing black students is really a crisis of investment and opportunity. We fail to invest in experienced and skilled teachers at schools serving poor students and students of color. We fail to invest in support for their learning, from reading specialists to chemistry labs, and as a result, we deny them the opportunity to succeed in school that ought to be every child's birthright. The biggest challenge we face is assembling and targeting the resources — be they human or material — to make sure each black child has his or her needs met and is able to realize their potential.
Loop 21: Why is the Leadership 500 Summit integral to addressing that issue?
Glenn: Leadership 500 seeks to bring together young professionals and inspire them to activism that transforms our communities. Attendees inherently understand that successful students and schools are integral to the success of their communities. The target audience is at a stage in life when they are building for the future in their professional and family lives. We want to encourage them to prepare for and contribute to the future health of the communities that will nurture their children and shelter them as they age.
[ALSO READ: Higher Education Linked To Longer Life]
Loop 21: How does the NAACP engage its youth membership in the fight to improve education in this country?
Glenn: Youth experience the inequities in our educational system perhaps most acutely and directly. They are the ones whose opportunity is stifled when they are expelled and suspended at twice the rate of their peers because of school policies. They are the students held back because they are reading and doing math two to three grade levels behind their peers. The NAACP tries to lift up the issues that individual young people bring to show them how to advocate for systematic change that improves their opportunity to learn and that of other black students.
Loop 21: What's the most challenging part of your job?
Glenn: It's challenging to keep the fight going on so many fronts, all of which are critically important to making a better future for black students and families.
Loop 21: What's the most rewarding part of your job?
Glenn: The most rewarding part is when we see real improvements in the policies and practices that help black kids learn more, more easily and more joyously, putting them and our community on the road to sustained success.

Father Thanks Rescuers For Saving Family From Floodwaters
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013
More Autos Articles
A man from Southend, England, thanked friends and strangers after they braved floodwaters to save hims and three children from his sinking SUV.
Scott Swinford was driving through Essex on Sunday with his eight-year-old son, six-year-old niece and four-year-old nephew when they were stranded by rising floodwaters. Friends Hannah King and Emma Burles waded into the flood to help pull the children through the SUV's open windows.
"A lot of people were standing around at first but I don't think they realized how serious the situation was. It's such a crazy thing to happen," Burles told The Guardian. "When I saw there were three children inside I think my mother's instinct kicked in. At first the children were calm but when the water came up to their legs they started to get scared. They were really cold, the girl's lips were blue."
Three young men watching the flood joined in the rescue. Once the children were free, Swinford escaped. Shortly after everyone exited, the SUV bobbed down into the water, almost completely submerged.
Swinford told The Guardian his vehicle is seven feet high and that he has driven through flood conditions without problems in the past. The current was stronger this time, and as soon as he tried to back away, the water lifted the vehicle off its tires. Swinford said he was grateful to all of those who helped.
"I just want to say to everyone who helped us – a big thank you." Swinford told The Guardian.

"I celebrated my birthday in the city last year and sheri was on hand to do my hair and makeup for the special night out. she even helped assemble an outfit for the occasion. there is no limit to what she will do for her clients. she did an awesome job, i looked and felt great for the occasion! cant wait for another opportunity to use her services."
Alanna C. July 11, 2011
"Sheri helped me and my bridal party looked their absolute best for my wedding! She was great with my consultations, finding the right hair style for me and coaching me throughout the whole process to be "glowing" on my special day. Sheri was honest in her recommendations and always professional, which made me trust her 110% to get the job done right. I loved how my makeup wasn't heavy and I still looked like me - Sheri picked the right colors and style for my face and personality. From preparation, to the touch ups throughout the day (I did not have one wedding picture with a shiny face!), to the hair and make up change midway into the reception, Sheri took care of me while having so much fun that even grandma got into the action! There is nothing else to say that she's fabulous and you'll miss out if you don't hire her for your occasion. "
marie A. July 8, 2011
"Sheri has done my make up for a few fitness competitions and photo shoots. She is totally awesome and knows her craft. She even did my niece's make up for her wedding. She looked absolutely radiant that day...Thanks to Sheri. I highly recommend Sheri for any event that you have going up. If you want to look FABULOUS...Sheri is it!!!"

Like a small-town railroad depot in the 1880s, the Colorado Railroad Museum's main building features wide eaves and a bright-yellow exterior. The building reflects the Museum's overall goal: to hark back to Colorado's railroad era, a time when the state relied on its groundbreaking, narrow-gauge mountain railroads for supplies and information. Since 1959, the Museum has showcased the machinery of that time with an array of locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, and cabooses. Alternatively, they present visitors with a glimpse of Table Mountain on the Museum's train rides, enabling them to ride the rails in a bygone style without just taking the subway in an Abe Lincoln costume. To supplement its trains, the Museum hosts thousands of related rare photographs and artifacts, such as a replica of a 10,000-gallon water tank, humorously dubbed No Agua, that was once used to refill steam locomotives on the Chili Line to Santa Fe.

Homer Hoyt founded the glass-arts school Glasscraft in 1970, the same year he penned the book Glassblowing: An Introduction to Solid and Blown Glass Sculpturing. Both creations have aged well: his book remains in print, and his school, staffed by qualified instructors who teach the intricate art of molding glass, continues to thrive. Inside safe, clean studios, students learn to decorate the surface of beads with swirls of color and create sculptures with solid insides perfect for concealing genies from jealous family members. Guest artists often visit the school to lead workshops centered around their specialization.

Hank Williams Jr.: Alec Baldwin responds to anti-Obama rant
Inasmuch that the NFL season officially begins tonight with the clash between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, it's interesting to observe what's happened the past days with one of the iconic symbols of the league.
Actually, a former iconic symbol of the league.
That would be Hank Williams Jr., who lost his gig as the opening voice of Monday Night Football ("Are you ready for some football?!?!?") a couple of years ago after comparing Barack Obama to Hitler.
Turns out Hank Jr. was in grand form this past weekend when, at a Dallas-area concert, he said the following, per the Dallas Morning News, "We've got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him!" Williams said, as the crowd let out a loud but less-than-unanimous cheer." http://dallasne.ws/R7RtIJ
That caught the attention of noted actor Alec Baldwin, who took to Twitter to express his reaction, per the Huffington Post:
• "I think we need to call Hank Williams Jr what he is.... A broken-down, senile, racist coot."
• "If Hank Williams Jr wasn't such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I'd have a talk with him."

Brett Keisel (born September 19, 1978) is an American football defensive end for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Brigham Young University, and was chosen in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Steelers.[1]
College career[edit]
Keisel was redshirted his freshman year at BYU. He played defensive end his sophomore year and then the following year transferred to Snow College. He then returned to BYU to finish his college football career. Keisel had a total of 66 tackles, with 39 being solo tackles, 9 quarterback sacks, and 19 stops behind the line of scrimmage.
Professional career[edit]
Pittsburgh Steelers[edit]
Keisel was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the seventh round (242nd overall) in the 2002 NFL Draft. In his rookie year, he made five appearances, making four tackles.
In 2003 he was on the injured list for the entire season after undergoing surgery on a shoulder injury. He returned in the 2004 season with 13 appearances and nine tackles. The following year, he appeared in all 16 games recording 33 tackles and three sacks, the first of his NFL career. After the departure of Kimo von Oelhoffen via free agency for the New York Jets in March 2006, Brett signed a new four-year contract with the Steelers worth a reported 14 million dollars.[2] That season he won the 1st team position at right defensive end and played in all 16 games making 55 tackles and 5.5 sacks, a career high. In 2007, he made 16 appearances recording 39 tackles and two sacks.[3]
On August 31, 2009, the Steelers signed Keisel to a new five-year contract worth $18.885 million, including a $5 million signing bonus.
In 2010, Keisel had his first career interception and first career touchdown in week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he intercepted a pass thrown by Josh Freeman and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown. Keisel was also added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster for the first time in his career.
Keisel lettered four times in football and basketball and twice in track at Greybull High School in Greybull, Wyoming. He was a four-time All-Conference selection and earned All-State honors as a tight end and linebacker (1995–96), was the USA Today Wyoming Player of the Year in his final season, and earned Sportslink Player of the Year and Conference Player of the Year honors in 1996.
Keisel excelled at both football and basketball and initially wanted to go to college for basketball. He researched the statistics of players that were in the NBA at the time and found that his size wouldn't compare to those playing basketball at the professional level. He then turned his attention and athletic ability to football.
Brett is the son of Connie and Lane Keisel. He has three sisters: Peggy, Kalli, and Codi; and four brothers: Tom, Lance, Chris, and Chad. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Sarah. The couple has a three-year-old son named Jacob and a one-year-old daughter named Grace.
"Da Beard"[edit]
Keisel began growing "Da Beard" while on a summertime hunting trip with his father.[4] Keisel's facial hair gained fame during the end of the 2010 NFL season.[5] Many NFL players grow "rally beards" during the playoffs to bring them good luck, but Keisel's has a significant following. His beard has its own Facebook page and Twitter account and has been mentioned repeatedly in the media during the Steelers' playoff run. In an interview on Steelers.com, he explained that he had decided to grow out his beard after having a discussion about the lack of characters in the NFL. In another interview, though, to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he said he wanted to change the team's luck, because it missed the playoffs the previous season.[6] Keisel refers to his beard as a "beautiful thing" and "the greatest beard of all time"[6] and has encouraged other Steelers to grow beards as well. After the Super Bowl several videos were made about Keisel's beard, including one that portrayed him as a Hasidic Jew.[7] On February 24, 2011, "Da Beard" was removed during a ceremony titled "Shear the Beard" in downtown Pittsburgh. The event raised over $40,000 for the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC. Keisel stated that "Da Beard" would most likely return for the upcoming season. "Da Beard will decide when the time is right to come back," he said, "and it will all of a sudden appear." Keisel dubbed the 2011 season "Da Beard Revenge Tour." On February 9, 2012, Keisel held "The Second Annual Shear the Beard Event." Just as in the previous year, proceeds raised went to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. It was announced on January 8, 2013, that "The Third Annual Shear the Beard Event" would be held on February 7, 2013, at Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Warrendale, PA, with all proceeds benefiting the cancer program at Children's Hospital. It was announced on January 14, 2014, that "The Fourth Annual Shear the Beard Event" would be held on February 5, 2014, at Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Warrendale, PA, with all proceeds benefiting the cancer program at Children's Hospital.

Question?: Read your article, "Marietta was once home to two stove Manufacturers." Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your readers. My husband and I purchased a home in Marietta in 2006 that housed a Nye stove that we donated to The Castle in Marietta. We felt it would be better appreciated by the community being on public display. As we researched the stove, we were told the Nye family once lived in The Castle, so we decided the Nye stove deserved to live at The Castle, rather than in our basement/rec room. I believe the gentleman, Mr. Hausser, you mentioned in your article would have been the man who came to dismantle the stove to remove it from our home. Again I appreciate your column and am not trying to be difficult, but Mr. Hausser was not the person who actually donated the stove, we did. Sincerely, Mark Ruff Family, Marietta.
Answer: After receiving your e-mail, I contacted George Hausser. He tells me he donated a Nye stove that belonged to him to The Castle, which he states today is on display in The Castle's carriage house. He states he also orchestrated The Castle's acquisition of your stove you donated to The Castle, which you were given a deeded gift certificate and a charitable gift receipt based on actual appraisal of your stove. I think it was very nice of you and your family to make such a fine donation to The Castle and the history of Washington County and sorry I didn't mention your donation.
Q.: My son has a Liberty $2.50 gold coin dated 1847 and in good condition. Where can he sell it and get the best price? - (no name or address)
A.: First of all, you need to get it appraised. I do not appraise coins. To find out what it may be worth, contact Heritage Coin Auctions at 1-800-872-6467 or email Heritage at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q.: I'm sending a four-page list of old 78 rpm records that I rescued from going into a dump. They are from the Blue Door Antique shop that once was located on Scammel Street. I acquired them about 1962. They were to be trashed with a truck load of other things. Can you tell me they're worth and who would be interested in them? Some have dates of 1903.
A.: Value depends on the condition the records are in, and if they are rare and other factors. Send your four-page list to Nauck's Vintage Records Purchasing Department, 22004 Sherrod Lane, Spring, Texas, or email email@example.com. You may also want to contact Joe Lauro Historic Music at (631) 466-2768 or email email@example.com.
Correction: Thanks to Ted Bauer for emailing me on where the Marietta Commercial College was once located. The college occupied the entire top floor of the former First National Bank building at the southeast corner of Second and Putnam streets.
Readers, always happy to hear from you, but when emailing me, please give me your name or initials, and where you are writing from. Also please write clearly.
Larry Koon is the author of several price guide books on antiques and collectibles. His column appears every Monday on Life. Send letters to Treasure in the Attic, c/o The Marietta Times, 700 Channel Lane, Marietta 45750; or e-mail him at email@example.com. When writing, send a complete description of the item, along with size, color, any markings on the item along with condition the item is in, and how the item was obtained, and any other information. If possible, send a photograph. Letters will be answered through this column.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State has fired women's basketball coach Kellie Harper after four seasons.
The school said Tuesday that the 35-year-old coach wouldn't return after missing the NCAA tournament for the third straight year. Harper, a former player under Tennessee's Pat Summitt, was the successor to late Hall of Famer Kay Yow, who died in 2009 after a long fight with cancer.
Harper's first team went 20-14, made a surprise run to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament final and reached the NCAAs in 2010. But that season ended up being the high point.
The Wolfpack never reached 20 wins again, going just 50-50 with a 16-32 mark in ACC play and two trips to the WNIT in the past three seasons. Her overall record was 70-64.

7/21/13 |
A: Yes, crayfish and bullfrogs are the only two fish species that can legally be taken using just your hands. Everything else requires the use of fishing gear, tackle, or traps.
7/2/13 |
A: Cold coupled with elevation. Indeed it is cold in the Snake River, but it's also nearly 1,000 feet lower in elevation (assuming you are referring to the American Falls area, where bass fishing is good). As such, it has a longer growing... Read more

A: Not removing or checking crayfish traps is a misdemeanor in Idaho. Fine will probably be around $100.

3/28/13 |
A: Yes, freshwater mussels can be used for fish bait.
In Idaho, there are no limits or restrictions on harvesting mussels. Once mussels are removed from their shells, they cannot survive, so they are not considered "live" bait.
3/27/13 |
A: It is legal as long as you remain with the jug. You can have one fishing line in Idaho (or 2 lines with a two-pole permit) and it must be tended. So, if you teather a line to float/jug, you must remain with the float/jug for as long as... Read more

Streaming-audio app Play-Fi takes on Sonos and AirPlay
How do you listen to your music at home? Is it through a radio, an iPhone connected to a hi-fi system, or even an old-school CD player? While music on the move is arguably standardized now -- many people use a smartphone and a pair of headphones -- there are myriad ways to listen to music at home.
For many people, the holy grail is a whole-home wireless audio system, but the current options, like Sonos and AirPlay, tend to be expensive, proprietary, and lacking some high-end audio features that enthusiasts are looking for. That's the niche the DTS-backed Play-Fi standard is trying to fill.… Read more

Build a culture of partnership through communication and commitment
So, my question is, how can co-packers and their customers both protect themselves while remaining strong partners? The answer: very simply, is by learning as much as you can about your customer or your co-packer, and by doing your part to improve the communication between you. A contract packager can be defined as a vendor who becomes responsible for managing complex supply chain events by aligning schedules, materials and product to achieve a goal set by its customer. That's a true statement, as far as it goes, and it's how many within the industry view the customer/vendor relationship.
The awesome responsibility that a co-packer accepts by being that brand's bridge to the marketplace must be recognized by both customer and co-packer at all professional levels. If the relationship is not supported by well-defined culture, procedure, competence, ability and capacity, the results can be catastrophic for both parties.
Choosing the correct packaging partner to protect a brand's life and keep the public safe is paramount. A culture of partnership must exist on both sides, sharing the critical mission to act flawlessly –– never making unrealistic demands, never over-promising, never operating with opposing goals.
Very often, prudent customers become comfortable with a co-packer through a series of initial and ongoing audits in the areas of safety, security, quality and –– ever more increasingly –– socially. This examination leads to senior decisions to become partners in business. From that point on, the vendor/customer relationship needs to become intensely aligned, and what has been promised must be performed––on both sides––perfectly and without question.
Working together with a clear understanding of the other's capabilities and constant communication that is pure, open and honest is the key to success. When challenges arise, step back, sit down together, review the options, weigh potential results and make a go or no-go decision together.
There is no magic here. A Hero is one who performs, not one who promises to perform and fails. Understanding the emotions of this industry and critical market deadlines, I have no doubt that every co-packer and customer will find themselves with plenty of unplanned situations requiring decisions. When they come, going beyond the emotions and developing solid plans will protect both companies. The bottom line is that once a co-packer has been chosen by a customer, both must become an extension of the other, never losing track of the one goal they share.
Please continue to support the CPA's initiatives to create platforms and opportunities to align our services with customer demand in an ongoing and ethical support of those that are the reason for our industry.

Economic Feasibility of V2G Frequency Regulation in Consideration of Battery Wear

Abstract: An economic feasibility study of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) frequency regulation is performed in consideration of battery wear. Usually, a transaction for frequency regulation is made in terms of power capacity while the battery-wear proceeds in proportion to the absolute amount of energy transferred. In order to relate the two quantities, we first estimate the amount of transferred energy in terms of contracted power capacity, and hence regulation income, by analyzing actual regulation signals and transactions. On the other hand, the amount of transferrable energy during the life cycle of a battery is estimated analyzing some pervasive specifications for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The expected V2G income is then estimated and compared with battery prices to judge the economic feasibility of V2G regulation. In the latter part of the paper, the assessment result is validated with actual cycle life data of an EV battery cell. As a result, it is concluded that the estimated profit exceeds current market price of EV batteries, indicating that V2G regulation is an economically feasible service.

Verona, PA - The Rick Santorum for President campaign is proud to announce that it has received the endorsement of All-Pro Quarterback and Decatur, Alabama native Philip Rivers.
Philip Rivers said: "I am supporting Rick Santorum for President because of his stance on issues that attack vital Christian values our country was founded upon: no abortion, upholding traditional marriage, defending religious freedom, no euthanasia. Rick Santorum will also fight to create jobs and expand opportunities for all Americans. I am proud to endorse Senator Santorum and do what I can to help him secure the Republican nomination for President of the United States."
Philip Rivers, a Decatur, Alabama native was the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft from North Carolina State University. Rivers is a four-time pro-bowl selection for the San Diego Chargers, leading the Chargers to the 2007 AFC Championship Game. Rivers' career passer rating is third best all-time among NFL quarterbacks. Rivers and his wife Tiffany established the Rivers of Hope Foundation to help abandoned and orphaned children find loving homes. The Rivers are the proud parents of six children.

I am sure the contributions are original, as it was contributed over time from a variety of sources, which I am willing to believe are all in the US Air Force; but the material is not original but part of the institutional culture. Again, my concern is that the article is being used to catalog humor that occurs elsewhere, rather than write new stuff. Comparable to our catalog of foreign-language dialects and swears.

- There are probably a lot of articles like this, we only noticed this one when a vandal added something stupid and got reverted. Perhaps it could be locked for now. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 16:52, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
I didn't revert him. If the article belongs on site, it ought not be frozen against him or future contributions, but that's a big if. I will ask the voters on VFD. It might also merit a Forum. Spıke ¬ 17:08 7-Mar-14
