Bill Anderson chased down Newark Mayor Cory Booker across the bridge to Philadelphia where Booker was making his comedic debut. It was a fundraiser for the Variety Club.
Mayor Booker was received like a celebrity at the event and made light of a few controversial issues he's faced while mayor and on the campaign trail.
He joked about his relationship with celebrities like Oprah, his superhero persona, the videos he did with Governor Christie and even some of the accusations that opponents have thrown at him.
People really responded when he took on some of the critics even joking about similarities between him and President Obama, noting that Obama went to Harvard while he went to Yale.
"I'm kind of tired of people comparing me to President Obama," he said. "I coordinated neighborhoods; he organized them."
Anderson said that the crowd really gravitated towards Booker and most thought he was pretty funny.

This is a photographic record of a journey which started in Bangkok and continued through Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. It covers those parts of the journey which were in Thailand and Laos.
While the two countries are different, for instance one is economically an Asian Tiger with a constitutional monarchy, the other one of the poorest countries in the world and ruled by a dictator, they have much in common. Their histories overlap, they have both been dominated by other regional powers and they share a religion.
This book tries to capture something of their history, religion and culture as seen through two western eyes.

Cartoonist's take on Welsh politicsby Nick Powell
Since the early 1980s, Welsh politicians have had to worry about how the cartoonist Mumph will portray them -and dread that he will ignore them. Now a selection of his work has gone on show at the Galeri in Caernarfon.
Mumph has drawn over 3,000 cartoons for the Western Mail alone and has also produced work for Daily Post and currently for the South Wales Echo. His first political cartoons were for the Welsh language newspaper Sulyn and he's regularly supplied political programes on both ITV Cymru Wales and the BBC. His cartoons are the prizes at the annual Wales Yearbook political awards.
– Mumph
My work has always been for newspapers, magazines or television. As a result, I've never given it much consideration as original artwork. Once the images are published, I move on to the next job, the next news story or article.
Despite Mumph's policy of moving on to the next job, politicians have often bought framed cartoons of themselves to hang on their office walls. Now his work provides a unique view of the last 30 years. The exhibition, 'Drawing The Line', is at the Galeri, Victoria Dock, Caernarfon until 5 July.

Who is Generac?
Since 1959, Generac Power Systems has been designing and manufacturing backup power generators for residential, commercial and industrial applications. They have grown to be the world's largest provider of residential standby generators. Generac generators has revolutionized the commercial market with the first cost effective product line meeting the needs of small and mid-sized businesses.
The 6240 standby generator package from Generac includes a 100 amp Load Center with automatic transfer switch. The automatic system keeps your home supplied with up to 14,000 watts of power during outages―even if you are not home―to help keep your family and property safe by keeping important and essential circuits running. The package includes a 5-year, limited consumer warranty.
Generac's 6240 generator will produce up to 14kW of power on either LP gas or natural gas, and conversion between fuels is an easy step performed during installation. The units are factory set for natural gas. The rate of fuel consumption is directly related to the electrical demand placed on the generator and changes continuously. Hourly LP gas consumption at half load is about 1.9 gallons while natural gas consumption runs about 177 cubic feet. Required fuel pressure to generator fuel inlet at all load ranges 3.5" - 7" water column for natural gas or 10" - 12" water column for LP gas.
Generac designed the 992cc overhead valve industrial engine specifically to meet the tough demands standby generators place on an engine. They incorporated a fully pressurized lubrication system, Spiny-Loc cylinder wall construction for extra rigidity, and plateau honed cylinder walls with plasma moly rings for a long life, reduced oil consumption, and an extended 2 year/200 hour maintenance interval―crucial for operation during extended outages. The engine has oil and temperature sensors that allow the engine to shut down if low oil levels or high temperatures would damage the unit.
At the heart of any standby generator is a control unit, and the 6240 uses Generac's state of the art Evolution Controller. It constantly monitors utility power and detects outages immediately. After a 10 second delay (dealer programmable from 2 to 1500 seconds) it starts the generator and signals the automatic transfer switch to supply emergency power from the generator. When power is restored, the house is put back on utility power and the engine runs for about one minute to cool down.
Other features include a programmable exercise cycle, programmable maintenance alerts, status display, smart battery charging and advanced fault reporting. The color coded membrane keypad with LCD display and brighter LED indicators make using and programming the controller easier than ever before.
During generator operation, the Evolution ensures utility-quality power by regulating generator voltage and keeping engine speed constant.
With the addition of the optional Mobile Link messaging system, you can receive alerts and status updates on your cellular phone via text messages. Mobile Link also has an online dashboard accessible through a website from tablets, laptops, and smart phones―from inside your home or anyplace that has internet service. View generator status, schedule maintenance, or program exercise periods.
Wireless monitor options allow you to view generator status from inside the comfort of your home. The basic model uses LEDs to indicate generator status, while the advanced model includes an LCD display to view status updates or program maintenance schedules and exercise cycles.
The 100 amp automatic transfer switch and load center has 14 breaker positions and is prewired for 12 circuits (240 volt circuits use two positions each). During normal operation, it supplies the load-center circuit breakers with utility power from the main breaker panel and switches automatically to backup generator power during an outage. The transfer switch includes two conduits and wiring; one for connection to the main panel and the other for connection to the generator.
The power generating unit is a revolving field design with skewed stators for exceptional power quality with low electronic noise that is suitable for powering sensitive electronics. This efficient, brushless design allows better voltage control, even when under heavy loads or supplying high surge currents for starting large electric motors.
The 6240 was designed to fit into residential neighborhoods with a low, 66db noise level and steel enclosure that measures 48 inches wide, 29 inches deep, and 25 inches high. The powder-coat paint keeps the unit looking good for years to come. The generator can sit on either a bed of gravel or concrete slab, depending on local ordinances and practices.

I am a contractor in Michigan. I had an important customer ask me to install standby power. I purchased the unit through Norwall and received a great deal. My electrician subcontractor has installed many Generac units, so hookup was quick and easy.
Posted by Michael at Lortonbuilders.com on 22nd May 2014
Got what I expected, a well made unit, installed as it should have. I recommend a professional for any installation as dealing with Natural Gas and heavy wiring to your house can be dangerous but it's well worth every penny. Couple suggestions for Generac if your listening. Why does the top cover of the transfer panel contact the white/neutral wire when installed? Its easy enough to bend it out of the way but this could be fixed with a redesign. Secondly, please check your wiring in the transfer case as mine came with the small red and white wires reversed. Third - you could use a better method for attaching the ground wire to the transfer case. A screw down lug would be great. Fourth - How about making a little more room for another size battery? It would be nice to be able to use a red top or yellow top battery that lasts longer than regular batteries but there's no room and they don't make a 26R. Other than that very happy! Works perfect!
Posted by Ron on 28th Dec 2013
This generator is easy to install. Norwall and all their sales people are there to assist you if you have any problems. They are courteous and knowledgeable. Their delivery was on time. I will use Generac and Norwall Power Systems again!!!!!
All generators include 24 hour delivery notification and residential delivery. Liftgate service is available on all air-cooled generators and some liquid cooled units – Please call for verification. Free Shipping is curbside service only. Curbside service means the freight company will deliver to your address and lower your generator to the ground. The freight company will not back down driveways, place a generator in a building or where it is being installed. You are responsible for arranging the movement and setting of the generator.
Some restrictions apply to "Free Shipping" you may either view our

The $85 billion federal budget sequestration — a stopgap solution to the federal spending cut impasse between the White House and Democratic allies in Congress and conservative Republicans — will force a temporary and likely brief shutdown sometime after May of NOAA's Northeast regional office, which employs about 200 people in Gloucester's Blackburn Industrial Park.
Globally, NOAA has 12,500 employees, including hundreds involved in weather forecasting.
The furloughs and the dates have not been finalized, said Allison McHale, a special assistant to Northeast Regional Administrator John Bullard. A NOAA source in Gloucester said the likely duration of the furloughs was four days. Who would be furloughed and whether some employees would be bypassed has not been announced, the source said.
"Continued fiscal uncertainty and tight budgets have required that many government agencies, including NOAA, make tough choices," NOAA's director of communications, Ciaran Clayton, said in an email Friday. "Unfortunately, after much serious deliberation, in order to help address current budget shortfalls, we are moving forward with union consultations in order to implement furloughs across the agency,"
"When looking at the budget situation for fiscal 2013, we faced some serious challenges. While we have implemented options to help offset this, including a hiring freeze, unfortunately, furloughs are necessary to help close the gaps," she said. "NOAA has taken steps to ensure that this step will not impact life- and property-saving missions, or any other critical products or services the American public has come to rely upon."
"Agencies are responsible for identifying the employees affected by administrative furloughs based on budget conditions, funding sources, mission priorities (including the need to perform emergency work involving the safety of human life or protection of property), and other mission-related factors," Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank said in a March 8 memo to all employees of the department, which includes NOAA, and its subsidiary the National Marine Fisheries Service.

AuSABLE FORKS — Local vocalist Susan Richards will give voice to the plight of independent theaters in the digital age with a performance this Sunday.
And actor James Tolkan of "Back to the Future" fame will also help the Hollywood Theatre to stay alive.
Proceeds from "A Tribute to the Classics," a musical salute to a selection of great American film soundtracks, will go toward purchase of a digital movie projector that the Hollywood needs in order to stay in business.
The show will feature clips from some of America's favorite films throughout the years and a musical performance of various soundtracks performed by Richards, accompanied by Eric Klotzo.
Richards, a native of Keeseville and currently a resident of the Town of Jay, has performed with Tony and Emmy Award winner and star of Broadway George Hearn and his wife, Leslie Hearn, in such productions as "Chicago," "Mame" and "South Pacific."
She has entertained audiences throughout the North Country with her vocal talents, including appearances at the JEMS Coffeehouse.
Tolkan, a Lake Placid resident, played Principal Strickland in the "Back to the Future" film series and Stinger in "Top Gun."
He will sign autographs before Sunday's fundraiser.
Tickets for the event are $20 per person with all of the proceeds donated to the Hollywood Theatre for use in the ongoing campaign to "Go Digital or Go Dark."
"Recent mandates from distributors have forced small independent theaters to complete a digital upgrade by the end of 2013," a press release explained. "Films will no longer be available for showing in 35mm format, but will be shipped to theaters on hard drives."
Conversion costs $50,000 or more, and some local theaters have been forced to close.
When Richards heard of the situation Hollywood Theatre owners Corey Hanf and Sierra Serino were facing "it became obvious that I had to do something," she said.

The City of Troy will soon be a smoke-free city. Tuesday night, the city council passed an ordinance banning smoking in public places.
"People can still smoke at home, in their own cars, and in other private places," said City Council President Johnny Witherington.
Business owner Richard Jones, who owns a Hookah bar, said the ordinance has diversified his business. "Now, the non-smokers still get to come inside and have a good time, and if you want a hookah, you can go to the outside area." Jones says it still works in his favor.
The legislation strengthens a 2006 ordinance that previously allowed
some businesses such as bars and restaurants to have smoking if they had
a separate, smoke-free area.

Raise taxes, cut services or use the BP settlement to address a revenue shortfall? Those are the options Bay County commissioners are considering as they enter a crucial phase of the Fiscal Year 2014 budget process.
For the past several years, the county has experienced declining property tax revenues. Although the latest projection indicates a 1% increase for the current year, county officials say it won't offset expenses and the result will be a shortfall of about $4 million.
County staff has presented commissioners with a budget of $81.6 million for 2014, an increase of 0.92%. The increase is blamed on higher costs for health insurance due to the Affordable Care Act and state-mandated retirement plan funding.
Commissioners haven't decided how to deal with the shortfall, but its $8.7 million BP settlement could help bridge the gap. In prior years, the county tapped its cash reserves instead of raising the millage rate.
"BP money helped us replace a lot of those reserves and we probably will have to use some of them to defray or eliminate any tax increase this year," Commissioner George Gainer said. "We've kept the taxes real low and we're going to continue to try to do that."
Gainer said another option could be a reduction in services, although the county has cut nearly 100 jobs in recent years and finding new areas to cut could be difficult. "We simply have to run this county on the amount of money that our tax base provides and before we raise the taxes we've got to cut the services," Gainer said.
County employees haven't received a pay raise in six years. At the June 18 commission meeting, County Manager Ed Smith asked whether the board would consider a pay increase – or at least a one time payment – for the county's workforce.
"All the county employees have made the sacrifices that we've asked them to and we've gotten by with less people and less money than we've ever had to get by with before," Gainer said. "If there's some room or some area that we can reward some of those folks, then I expect the county would do that... if not, then I doubt very seriously anybody will get a raise this year either."
In September, county commissioners will conduct two public hearings to adopt the millage rate and final 2014 budget.

A former deacon at St. Joseph's School in West Warwick pleaded nolo contendere to three counts of second degree child molestation on Tuesday.
72-year-old Laurence Gagnon was sentenced to 10 years at the Adult Correctional Institute and 9 years suspended with probation for molesting three students. The terms will be served concurrently and Gagnon will have to register as a sex offender, undergo counseling and have no contact with the victims.
Initially Gagnon was charged with 14 counts of child molestation but 11 of the counts were dismissed by the state.

This joyous acoustic tune proclaims the awesomeness of spending the entire day in the pool, complete with a bubbly "Yellow Submarine"-like instrumental break. Adam Selzer and the rest of his Nashville-based Couch Potatoes recorded "Swimming, Swimming, Swimming!" for their kids' music debut album, One Size Fits All...!
"Green Grass of Summer" - Dog On Fleas
The superb pastoral pop and cosmic lyrics of "Green Grass of Summer" could only have come from Dog On Fleas, a collective of musicians based in New York's Hudson Valley. This tune from When I Get Little sees a woodland creature eagerly awaiting the warmer months.
"Ridin' the Big Waves" - Charity and The JAMband
Whatcha got here is basically a follow-the-leader activity song set to some twangy surf rock. Charity Kahn and her San Francisco-based band are paddlin', chillin' out, and droppin' in on this tune from Peanut Butter and JAM.
"Her Sound is Sunshine" - The Dreamtree Shakers
Falling somewhere between the groovy pop of The Cowsills and the lo-fi indie rock of Lou Barlow, "Her Sound is Sunshine" evokes the laid-back feel of summertime. Chicago's Dreamtree Shakers recorded this tune, from their Dream and You Will See album, about a mole who likes to cook. Sure, why not!
"Surfer Shake" - The Baby Grands
If you could imagine an acoustic version of The Ramones with Jack Johnson as their lead singer, you got "Surfer Shake," an energetic ode to all things gnarly. The Atlanta-based Baby Grands released "Surfer Shake" on their self-titled kids' music debut.
"Summer/Sunshine" - Rebecca Frezza & Big Truck
The drone of mandolins and acoustic guitars, along with the stream of consciousness lyrics, evoke the feeling of a lazy summer day. "Summer/Sunshine" can be found on Special Kind of Day, the fourth kids' album by New Jersey's Rebecca Frezza.
"Mary Ann" - Father Goose
This popular calypso tune has been recorded by Xavier Cugat, Burl Ives, and Terry Gilkyson & The Easy Riders. Ansel Cridland from The Meditations joins fellow Jamaican Father Goose on this version of "Mary Ann" from It's a Bam Bam Diddly!
"Sunny Day" - Ernie & Neal
"Sunny Day" is from Ernie & Neal's fourth CD, Rock & Roll Band, and sounds as if Grand Funk Railroad went the kids' music route, complete with horn break and guitar solo. The crunchy, loping rocker by Philly/west New Jersey's head bangin' duo explores the endless possibilities of a sunny summer day.
"A Day at the Beach" - Bari Koral
Bari and her band spend "A Day at the Beach" diggin' the kites, surfers, waves, and sand. This twangy rocker can be found on NYC-based Bari's 6-song EP Family Rock Band.
"Shine On Me" - D. Jay
New Jersey's D. Jay (Dennis King) celebrates the wonderfulness of a summer day with his self-described "Folk-stomp" musical style. Buggy Baloo features the tune "Shine On Me," highlighted by D. Jay's strident acoustic guitar and warm vocals.
"Say Hello to the Sun" - Cathy Heller
A great mantra for everyone's summer: take notice of everything around you, slow down and make memories, "Say Hello to the Sun." This breezy pop tune is the title track from southern California-based Cathy Heller's kids' music debut.

"For the first time, business users have a choice between what services IT is offering and what users can requisition on their own," he says. "But until the CIO can get a firm grasp on what it costs to deliver IT, he or she won't be able extend meaningful choice back to business users. This will only serve to supply more oxygen to the fire of shadow IT."
IT concession No. 6: You will never have enough hands on deck
IT departments often want a fairer shake when it comes to outsourcing and head count reductions, but they're not likely to get it, says Meikle.
Because the tech outsourcing industry is much more mature than, say, legal services or HR outsourcing, IT is often the first to suffer when corporate bloodletting occurs. That's not likely to change.
The solution to IT manpower problems, says Meikle, is to take advantage of third-party outsourcers and integrate with them as much as possible. The bodies are still available; they're just not under your own roof anymore.
Also, says Meikle, be sure look out for No. 1. Keep your tech chops current with an eye on the next job before the current one evaporates.
"IT pros need to understand they work for themselves first, the organization second," he says. "They need to continue developing their network and contacts, marketing themselves, and developing a personal brand even when they are employed. Like it or not, IT pros may have to pony up some dough personally to pay for their education and marketability, but that will pay dividends when the chips are down."
IT concession No. 7: Your network has already been compromised
Everybody wants their networks to be easy to manage and hard to breach. What they usually settle for, though, are racks and racks of security appliances that are hard to manage and easily compromised, says Joe Forjette, a senior project manager at enterprise security appliance vendor Crossbeam.
"The worst part is that each appliance needs to be constantly patched and updated," he says. "The result is a sprawling, highly complex, and costly security infrastructure."
It's also not working all that well. According to the Computer Security Institute's most recent survey, 4 out of 10 organizations experienced an incident such as a malware infection, bot net, or targeted attack in 2010; another 10 percent didn't know if their networks had been breached.
A smarter approach is to start with the assumption your network has already been compromised and design security around that, says Wade Williamson, senior threat analyst at network security company Palo Alto Networks.
"Modern malware has become so pervasive and so adept at hiding within our networks that it is increasingly common for enterprises to assume they have already been breached," he says. Instead of slapping yet another layer of patches onto the corporate firewalls, security pros can spend more time looking for where the nasties may be lurking, such as inside a peer-to-peer app or an encrypted social network.
The notion of a "zero-trust architecture" is gaining traction among many organizations, says Williamson.
"This is not to say that these companies are simply throwing away their security," he says, "but they are also turning their attention inward to look for the tell-tale signs of users or systems that may be already be infected or compromised."

It is recommended that you mail a return receipt request, for your records.
Each year thereafter, a Subsequent Year Letter (along with assessment results—see below) must be filed with both your local school superintendent and the Maine DOE by Sept. 1.
Download the Notice of Intent and Subsequent Year Letter forms as PDF files below. You may print the forms and complete them by hand, or you may enter the information on your computer, print, and sign.
- Notice of Intent (PDF, 241KB). If your child is a new homeschooler, you must file this form with the Maine DOE and your local school superintendent.
- Subsequent Year Letter (PDF, 254KB). Every year after your child's first year in homeschooling, you must file this form with the Maine DOE and your local superintendent by Sept. 1.
Annual assessment results must be submitted by Sept. 1, along with a Subsequent Year Letter, to both the Maine DOE and the local school superintendent's office.
Students must annually submit the results of an assessment from one of the following options:
- Results of a standardized achievement test

After spending the night in jail after Cleveland airport police discovered a loaded 45-caliber handgun in his luggage at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, defensive tackle Shaun Rogers is formerly being charged with "carrying a concealed weapon".
A Cleveland city prosecutor filed the fourth-degree felony charge Friday. It alleges that Rogers carried a .45-caliber Kimber semiautomatic with eight rounds in his carry-on luggage at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
Bond was set at $1,000. Defense attorney Patrick D'Angelo says he was posting the bond and expects Rogers to be released promptly.
As of this posting, Rogers was released from jail, but is scheduled to attend an arraignment Saturday at 8:30 A.M. Cleveland Browns President Mike Holmgren issued a statement that the team is reserving comment and allowing the legal process to take its course.
Browns fans are full reaction mode at Dawgs by Nature now.

Congress created the fifth employment-based preference (EB-5) immigrant visa category in 1990 for qualified foreigners seeking to invest in a business that will benefit the U.S. economy and create or save at least 10 full-time jobs.
The basic amount required to invest is $1 million, although that amount is reduced to $500,000 if the investment is made in a rural or high unemployment area. Of the approximately 10,000 EB-5 green cards available each year, 3,000 are reserved for foreign nationals who invest.
To encourage immigration through the EB-5 program, Congress created a pilot program in 1993. The program specifically sets aside 3,000 visas annually for foreign investors who apply through a United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) designated Investment Program.
We are a private enterprise or corporation with a targeted investment program within a defined geographic region. Our program in many ways mirrors long active and successful investment-employment based programs in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other foreign nations.
An investor seeking an EB-5 immigrant visa through us must generally make a qualifying investment of $1 million and demonstrate that at least 10 jobs were directly or indirectly created through the investment. Certain rural, high unemployment or Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) qualify for a lesser capital investment of $500,000. The Yareton Investment Fund LLC is a designated investment that focuses solely on qualifying projects within targeted employment areas.
An investor seeking an EB-5 immigrant visa through us must also demonstrate that at least 10 jobs were directly or indirectly created through the investment. The Yareton Investment Fund LLC utilizes a USCIS approved job methodology to measure and verify a qualifying project's required job creation.
Before participating in an EB-5 investment program, each investor independently petitions USCIS for an EB-5 visa. Qualified investors investing receive a conditional green card valid for two years. The investor, spouse and unmarried children (under age 21 at the time of petition) can then apply for permanent residency based on investment. If approved, the investor and his immediate family become permanent green card holders and can later apply to become U.S. citizens. Upon receipt of conditional permanent resident status, the investor and immediate family are entitled to the same benefits as other lawful permanent residents.

In a way, it's amusing to see the public support for Stan Van Gundy after he took the unprecedented step of confirming rumors that Dwight Howard wanted him out as the Orlando Magic's head coach. These kinds of power plays happen all the time behind the scenes in the NBA. When the superstar wants the coach gone, the coach usually ends up being let go.
But it also makes perfect sense. As the old saying goes, perception is reality. In revealing the truth of the rumors, Van Gundy was capitalizing on the public perception of Howard and putting himself in a no-lose position. We now essentially think of Van Gundy as the anti-Howard, and that's exactly how Van Gundy wanted it.
The only thing that Van Gundy needed was a moment to strike. He said several weeks back that he didn't care about being fired, and I don't think he was bluffing. All along, Van Gundy had to know the reality -- while he may be fired, he wouldn't be unemployed for long. When you compile as impressive a record as Van Gundy has in Orlando (four 50-plus-win seasons with mediocre rosters outside of Howard, a 66-percent winning percentage), you immediately vault to the top of the coaching free-agent talent pool. That was going to happen this summer regardless, even with a deeper-than-usual applicant list.
Going by that logic, all Van Gundy needed was an opening to make his move. He couldn't just volunteer the information when Howard could have still been traded, because that would make him look petty. Howard could have used this as a reason to justify his trade demands. But when WKMG in Orlando put out this report after the deadline passed, citing "league sources," Van Gundy had his opening. As he said at the 1:41 mark of this video:
"Since everything came out yesterday, I'll be honest: you think about what you're going to be asked and how you're going to respond and the whole thing," Van Gundy said in the video. "The only thing I'm ever uncomfortable with is bullshit."
He was probably taking a shot at Howard, but it also sounds like he'd been contemplating what he did on Thursday ever since the report came out, and possibly sooner. Oftentimes, that a coach has thought about how to respond to rumors would go without saying. That Van Gundy decided to admit that he was thinking about the report anyway, though, displays that he knew what he was doing.
And what was he doing, exactly? He was taking a stand and living with the consequences. That is, doing everything that Howard himself refused to do all season. Howard's decision to delay his free agency by one year was the ultimate cop-out. He didn't take a stand to leave Orlando, nor did he proclaim any sort of long-term commitment to the franchise. Howard failed to realize that, stay or leave, he was going to have some group of people happy with what he ended up doing. He was going to piss some people off, sure, but he was also going to end up landing on his feet just fine with his new team. Had he signed in Brooklyn, you know Nets fans would have been very forgiving. Instead, he tried to placate everyone and only ended up pissing off everyone.
From the sounds of it, Van Gundy had enough a long time ago. All he needed was a moment to make his point. The moment arrived, and now, Van Gundy has earned respect for doing the one thing Howard still refuses to do: take a stand.
The funny thing about all this? Because of Van Gundy's calculated actions, nobody is questioning him for selling out his superstar in the thick of a playoff race with all the drama seemingly put on the back burner. That's the value of perception and actually taking a stand.

As the minutes dragged by with no word of Dan Wheldon's condition, the faint hope he had somehow survived Sunday's terrifying IndyCar Series wreck at Las Vegas seemed less and less realistic.
ABC's television cameras showed a shot of Danica Patrick crying. The drivers quietly shuffled into a meeting room at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, then emerged with solemn faces and tears in their eyes. Tony Kanaan sat on the pit wall and broke down.
At home, viewers watched with a sinking feeling in the pits of their stomachs that only grew deeper. After the worst crash many fans had ever seen, it didn't seem likely Wheldon would be OK.
But some of us still held out hope. After all, there had been so many times in the last 10 years – both in IndyCar and NASCAR – when drivers walked away unscathed from horrifying crashes. And so maybe, just maybe, Wheldon was going to pull through.
He was gone, though. With a deep breath, IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard announced Wheldon's death from "unsurvivable injuries" shortly after 3 p.m. local time on Sunday.
The motorsports community was helpless and heartsick over what was taking place before their eyes. No! Not Dan Wheldon! This couldn't be happening. The 33-year-old had been the feel-good story of the season just five months ago, winning the Indianapolis 500 in a major surprise.
And now he was dead, leaving a wife and two young sons behind.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Not for Wheldon, and not for IndyCar.
All season long, the Las Vegas finale had been one of the primary focuses of Bernard's new IndyCar agenda. He initially offered a $5 million prize for any non-IndyCar driver to win the race, but settled on Wheldon after the England native spent the season unemployed (and no other takers could be found).
Sunday was to be a joyous 2011 finale for the series. Not only was the championship on the line, but Wheldon would start in the back of the field and be challenged to get to the front before the checkered flag waved.
In addition, there was word he had a ride lined up for next season. The cheery, affable Wheldon had even more of a reason to smile than usual.
But by now, you know what happened next. Wheldon drove into a wreck that had already begun to happen in front of him, and his car went airborne. It twisted at a sickening angle toward the catch fence and slammed into it, bursting into flames.
The driver was extracted and airlifted to a local hospital, but his injuries were too significant to overcome.
Though the wreck was as bad as it looked, it was still stunning to actually learn Wheldon was gone. Some of us in racing have developed an "Ah, he'll be fine!" attitude whenever we see a crash these days – particularly those of us who have only started following motorsports in the last 10 years.
NASCAR has not seen any fatalities since Dale Earnhardt's Daytona 500 wreck in 2001; the inexperienced Paul Dana was the last IndyCar Series driver to suffer a fatal crash before Wheldon, that coming in 2006.
If Michael McDowell can survive his NASCAR crash at Texas and if IndyCar drivers can walk away from wrecks that leave their car scattered all over the track – the biggest driver injuries typically seem to be bruises and soreness – we tend to view accidents without much fear.
HANS devices, SAFER barriers, sturdier builds and more secure cockpits. It's all lulled us into a false sense of security.
While racing may be "safer," it will never be "safe." All too often, we only pay lip service to the dangers of the sport: Yeah, something bad could happen, but it probably won't.
On Sunday, though, it did happen. Dan Wheldon, one of the sport's great champions, is gone.
We all could have done without the reminder.

The Civil Air Patrol has joined in the search for a missing Jamestown woman.
78-year-old Ruby Grenz of Jamestown has been missing since 5 p.m. Tuesday, when she was last seen leaving the 2nd Avenue Beauty Salon on the north end of Jamestown.
Grenz drove away in a silver Dodge minivan and hasn't been seen since.
The wing deployed 23 of its volunteers to the Jamestown Airport this morning along with four Cessna search aircraft.
One of the planes has a thermal imaging sensor.
Two ground teams have been deployed to assist other ground searchers.
Grenz is 5-foot-2, 138 pounds, wears glasses with brown and blue frames and was last seen wearing a rust-colored fleece Columbia coat, red sweater and brown pants. Her vehicle is a silver 2005 Dodge Caravan with North Dakota license plate HNW560.
The patrol is urging the public to check property and buildings for Grenz and her vehicle.

Kara Adanalian had been hiding her nerves behind a smile all day, but it fell away as she scanned the contents of a wicker basket that would make or break her next hour. The gastronomic gauntlet had been thrown down.
Refrigerated pie-crust dough. Bell peppers. Tomatoes. Cantaloupe. Avocado. Banana. Jalapeño. Pineapple.
Adanalian and her fellow finalist had one hour to turn the pie crust, two other items from the basket and several ingredients of their choosing into a dish for the five judges in the final round of Del Monte's "Find Your Inner Chef" National Cook Off.
The cook-off, held Saturday at Miami Dade College's Miami Culinary Institute, was in the style of the Food Network show Chopped, on which contestants race the clock to turn a basket of mystery ingredients into a winning dish.
The competition's initial online round, which opened April 15, drew more than 1,000 recipes, said Véronique Vatinelle, marketing manager for Del Monte Fresh Produce, whose North American office is in Coral Gables.
"We just want to give a chance to ordinary people to show off their talents and passion," Vatinelle said.
And Adanalian fits the bill, sort of.
The 57-year-old graphic designer from Fresno, Calif., is a cooking-contest devotee who has won three national contests, one them sponsored by Fine Cooking magazine, earning prizes including top-of-the-line kitchen gear, trips to New York and thousands of dollars.
But, she said, the prize she won Saturday tops them all: a four-day trip for two to the Culinary Institute of America's Napa Valley campus.
One of the judges, Miami Culinary Institute director John Richards, said he was impressed with the complex flavors Adanalian was able to create in a short time in her winning dish, Red Pepper and Avocado Stuffed Chicken Breast with Pastry Gremolata and White Wine Reduction.
Adanalian said marathon Chopped viewing sessions had taught her to focus and to use the mystery items in innovative ways during the cook-off.
She was in the zone, barely looking up as she worked. Once she finished the five judge's plates, she shot her hands up in the air and mouthed the word "Done."
"The cooking part for me was the easy part," she said. "The hardest part was being under the gun."

BreakThrough, a full-service casting company, credits its success to our ability to go above and beyond what most casting companies offer. We have access to some of the finest talent available in the Greater New York region as well as Austin, TX and provide a seamless experience from start to finish. With BreakThrough you get our full support, our attention to detail and a loyalty to the enterprise long after your project has wrapped.
I am a dreamer. I didn't have the courage early in life to dream out loud. I grew up in Corporate America and learned from some of the best leaders and innovators in the world but throughout my career, I never lost my desire to work in the entertainment industry. I could often be heard from my corporate office telling my colleagues that "someday I will…" I was saying "someday I will …" for more than 20 years and like so many of us, it took a difficult life-altering event to wake me up. The creation of BreakThrough was the day I said "today is the day."
When I think of perfect casting, I don't need to look any further than the ladies beside me – Johanna and Dana. Individually, we offer unique and specific strengths. Together, we complete the perfect casting puzzle .
Sometimes, just saying "today is the day" is all it takes for a BreakThrough.
I love working with actors who have it all: substantial acting skills, a business-minded strong work ethic and a generosity with others while maintaining modesty with themselves. As a working actor of over 20+ years on stage with regional, national tour and broadway credits and on-camera with regional and national commercial credits, I've been very fortunate to work with this caliber of talent, who I view as "gems". So every day, I'm out in the field at auditions, bookings, attending shows and screenings, constantly searching for that quality actor. It's a switch I can't seem to turn off because honestly, I'm still striving to be a "gem" of an actor myself.
Wearing both casting and acting hats, is thrilling. Living between both worlds while working side by side with friends who are the best at what they do, is pretty much a perfect fit, and for myself, my own professional BreakThrough.
Sometimes it takes a little longer for some people to find their "calling". My calling is in film and most particularly, in casting. I have worked for over thirty years as an actor, drama instructor and director for the stage and understand the necessity for every facet of the play to be consistent with the vision of the director. Finding the right principals to capture the character and then populating the background with the perfect faces that tells the whole story, is a dream job. Meeting that need in any project is a very personal goal of mine.
My association with Pat Gallio and Johanna Tacadena has been a life-changing and propelling experience. We are who we say we are; we are BreakThrough.

This piece looks so cute on the website, but the quality is actually very poor. It is mainly made of particle board and mine arrived with chips on the painted surfaces - the particle board shows right through. The screws that hold the pieces together show on the outside of both sides. There are 6 screws showing on each side of the nightstand, which isn't clear from the photo. Turns out it would cost nearly 60$ to return it! All in all, a very disappointing purchase.
This nightstand was fairly easy to assemble -just time consuming. All the necessary parts were included and holes seemed to align fairly well. However, it is constructed of cheap particle board and I don't expect it to hold up very long. The matching chest is already (after just 2 weeks) giving us some problems. If you plan to use this in a spare room (just for looks), it would probably be ok. However, for everyday use you would be better off to go ahead and spend the extra money for a better quality construction.
The finished product looks nice, but the materials.. Yikes. Can anyone say pressed cardboard? You really do get what you pay for. When putting it together "slightly" pressing the dowles into the underside of the top board, it cracked the top of the nightstand and now it's a mess. (BTW There was no hammering, only hand pressing that did this.) If you are going to spend the money, spend a little more and get some real wood in your furniture.
I had originally wanted a 3-drawer nightstand as I have a tall bed that needed a tall stand, but opted for this model instead once I saw the dimensions. The drawers are a good depth and hold all that I need them to and more! One of the drawers sticks a little, but I'm not sure that's the case with each model or if perhaps there's a screw that wasn't tightened properly in self-assembly. Be careful to check that each piece is being attached as shown in the assembly diagrams as attention to detail is necessary. The top shelf has 2 holes that are supposed to be in the front of the unit, but were mistakenly put in the back, and once the black plastic "covers" have been snapped into the screws on the side, you may not be able to remove them again!
I really like this night stand it has a nice finish it is sturdy and the drawers glide very well on the rollers/ smoothly. Even better than the other chest I bought so the drawers glide and its a nice piece of furniture. assembly is required
This was fairly easy to put together.i did it myself in about 45 minutes. looks nice we will see how it holds up over time.
This night stand was relatively easy to assemble and had easy-to-follow instructions. It was shipped well so nothing was damaged when it arrived. It looks nice overall too.
Black, clean crisp. Nice knobs. Metal runners with wheels. Good quality for the price.
I love my purchase. It was very easy to put together too. Size Height was just what I was looking for and very sturdy. Look at all other nightstands but this one has 2 drawers and the price was RIGHT!
I really love this nightstand! I love the shelf above the drawers to put my remotes on. The drawers slide very easily. I am extremely happy I purchased this night stand after looking at several options!!

Donor Intent Resource Library
We have assembled an extensive resource library as part of our ongoing commitment to preserving, strengthening, and celebrating the principle of donor intent. Our resource library will direct you to the best articles, books, and panel discussions on the topic of establishing and preserving donor intent.
Protecting Donor Intent
How to define and safeguard your philanthropic principles. This guidebook by Jeffrey J. Cain offers detailed guidance to philanthropists who want to ensure that the assets they dedicate to charity are disbursed as they intend. It identifies common pitfalls, explains relevant tradeoffs, and describes successful strategies used by other donors. It lays a broad range of options before you, and suggests ways you can define, secure, and perpetuate your charitable intentions.
An Unconventional Foundation Life
Though not a conventional choice, sunsetting can be an effective philanthropic strategy asserts Frances Ostrower in her remarks at the 2012 Annual Meeting.
'New York Times' Cites Roundtable on Preserving Donor Intent in the Arts
In its recent piece on balancing museum management with respect for donor intent, the 'New York Times' cites Roundtable president Adam Meyerson and 'Protecting Donor Intent' author Jeffrey J. Cain. Click here to see the piece and to learn more about safeguarding philanthropic principles.
Commitment to Protecting Donor Intent
The Philanthropy Roundtable is committed to preserving, strengthening, and celebrating the principle of donor intent. We believe that respect for donor intent is essential to philanthropic integrity. Read more about our commitment to protecting donor intent here.
Mission Possible
When defining your mission, what may seem obvious to you may not be obvious to others. Kim Dennis of the Searle Freedom Trust and Linda Childears of the Daniels Fund share from their first-hand experience what they have learned about writing an effective and enduring mission statement.
Recovering Donor Intent If It's Lost
Can a philanthropic organization left with no clear road map still honor its founder's charitable intent? In this companion piece to his recent guidebook, Jeffrey Cain discusses means of rediscovering donor intent after it has been lost, and then preserving it into the future.
When Philanthropy Goes Wrong
In this Wall Street Journal essay, Adam Meyerson warns donors against the risk that their gifts will be redirected into purposes they did not intend and offers advice on how to prevent violations of charitable intent.
Giving It All
Alan Barnhart and his brother Eric owned a $250 million company. Owned. Past tense. Because they gave it away.
100 Years of Experts Armed with Money…
...sure didn't do much for Cleveland. Community foundations at a milestone.
An Ugly Parks Plan
If New York's new mayor, Bill de Blasio, gets his way, the Big Apple will undo one of the most successful philanthropic experiments of the past three decades: transforming Central Park from decaying and dangerous to vibrant and verdant in just a few short years.
Creating a Mission Statement to Preserve a Philanthropic Vision
With a clear and effective mission statement, a foundation can enact its vision and preserve the intent of its founding philanthropist.
Every Cause Is Not Alike
A legal battle with a New Jersey animal shelter proves to be a win for donor intent.

Regenepure Precision Minoxidil Spray
Based on 4 Reviews
Ryan C.ColumbusSeeing Results!Regenepure's Precision Minoxidil Spray is a great product. When I called to ask about their minoxidil spray , one of the customer service representatives told me that I should start to see results between 4-6 months. Next week will have been 4 months and I can honestly say I am already seeing improvement in regrowth. I am looking forward to see what 6 months or even a year will do!posted Jul 15, 2014Link to this post

Lauren A.Miami, FloridaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Minoxidil YetI purchased this product for my husband. He has been a long time user of minoxidil & wanted to try something different. We had tried a few different applications (dropper mainly and some foam), and then found this application, which seemed different than the others. It sprays onto the scalp & doesn't run off the head. He still massages it in, but it gives just the right amount. Just a note that the first time you use the sprayer, you should give it a few pumps for it to work properly. But he likes this application much more than anything he has tried in the past. It is working like a charm & regrowing his hair. I would recommend this to anyone interested in a better form of minoxidil.posted Jul 10, 2014Link to this post

Keith C.Great ApplicatorI've been pretty curious about Regenepure because I've read a lot of positive reviews so I decided to give their precision minoxidil spray a try. I have also tried using a foam but it was pretty messy. The applicator on this precision minoxidil is just how the name describes it...precise.posted Jun 25, 2014Link to this post

Larry B.Best Way To Use MinoxidilI think this minoxidil spray is the best way to use minoxidil. I was using Rogaine for years (foam) and I saw this new way to apply it (spray). Decided to give it a shot and it has worked wonders for my hair.6 out of 6 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $85
A very comfortable helmet that has multiple sizes available. A great helmet for ice climbing, rock climbing, and mountaineering. Comes in multiple colors.
- Very comfortable fit
- Multiple sizes
- More side coverage than other helmets
- Could use more ventilation
- Heavy
This is a great helmet. I own several different climbing helmets and this one has by far become my favorite across all climbing sports.
I have a large head and the multiple sizes allow me to get a good fit. Some one-size-fits all helmets are tough for me to fit.
One of the most important features I have found is the improved side protection around the ears. This prevents the helmet getting pushed to the side when I lean my head against the rock on tougher climbs.
It is also a great mountaineering helmet as it doesn't bounce around much while hiking.
It does get a bit hot in the sun. but is not much worse than any other helmet I own.
I don't have this helmet, but I have to say it is very comfortable on my head. To compare to the BD Half Dome that I have: The cushioning is a bit softer, making it feel more comfortable. The turning wheel in the back to tighten the fit is more solid, as is the main shell of this helmet. It does seem warmer, and here in Japan at least it's also more expensive. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I used the helmet less then a dozen times before the suspension in the helmet broke in the back.
I don't recommend buying from Grivel in North America anymore. I took it back to the shop so they could get it warrantied, but there is no longer a distributor in North America so you cannot get it warrantied without sending it to France.

Price Paid: $82.50
I've been in the market for a climbing helmet for quite some time. My problem is that I have a small melon. Kid's size even! I've tried a variety of small helmets. Some fit OK but were "kid colored" or decorated with "cool" or "rad" graphics. Some adult helmets, like the Petzl Elios, are available in a small size too, but the fit just wasn't right. The regular size (size 2) was too large, and the small (size 1) looked like I had a 2 lb. margarine tub on my head! Not enough coverage.
I found the Grivel Salamander (size small) online and decided to give it a try.
Pros: This helmet fits great. It's really light and offers full coverage of the top and back of my head without limiting mobility of, or rubbing, my neck. Even though I got the small, there are still a number clicks left in the adjustment band allowing me to wear a helmet liner, or even a wool cap. The suspension system is a lot more comfortable than the Petzl Elios, and it's less complicated too. There is a clear or smoke colored visor available for this helmet to protect your eyes from ice, dust and small debris while on belay.
Cons: The headlamp retention system could use some beefing up - front and rear elastic cords only, no side clips. Adequate, but minimal. The decals that come on the Salamander are a bit much, but they came off easily and cleanly
This helmet is not currently available at REI as this site states. I got mine at http://www.mountaingear.com/pages/product/product.asp/imanf/Grivel/idesc/Salamander+Helmet/Store/MG/item/210189/N/0

You have probably read about or heard about the new female libido drug that is currently undergoing trials with the FDA. This means that if they approve the medication, sex could be revolutionized compared to how we view it now.
Most of the times when we hear about low libido our thoughts turn to women over forty who no longer have a sexual desire. It is true that low libido is a real problem for women, but it is for men as well. Aging, as well as other problems, such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, diabetes and Peyronies Disease can cause low libido in men and lack of interest in sex. Women may not feel comfortable helping their partner deal with his problem, because women hold back and are reluctant to take the lead in sexual intimacy.
If your partner has difficulty with his libido or becoming excited after taking an erectile medication, there are things you can do that will help inspire him in the bedroom. Below are suggestions to help add boom and spark to your 4th of July Celebration!
1. Begin by talking about the issue. Hiding it or sweeping it under the rug will only intensify the rejection and resentment. Reassure your partner by helping them understand everyone has problems in the bedroom, and since there isn't a goal, enjoying one another intimately is what they both want to strive for.
2. With men, everything relies on blood flow. Studies support the Mediterranean diet as being the best diet for overall health and heart health. Men are also visual, so if you feel that you have gained a few pounds, going on the Mediterranean diet together can have a bonus effect in losing weight and achieving a higher libido.
3. Less focus on intercourse is the key to success when your partner suffers from low libido. Below are several ideas of what men may find exciting.
• Most men like women who are adventurous and enjoy intimate time, but if your partner is feeling intimidated, slow down.
• Flirt with him by leaving sexy emails, texts or voice mails.
• Text him at work and tell him what you are wearing.
• Buy sexy lingerie or take him with you to help get something you both like. Some guys prefer silky nightgowns, some prefer lacy teddies, and some prefer you wear their shirt to bed (if you are worried about how you look, then purchase one that covers unflattering body parts).
• Turn romantic music on (whatever that is for you), and use perfume both of you like.
• Lighting should be low. Amber light is best for most bodies because it flatters the body and allows men to see the body (remember guys are visual).
• Do not have a goal in mind other than enjoyment. It doesn't matter if it is watching a movie in the living room or sharing a drink in the bedroom; either if fine.
• Men enjoy watching a woman love her body. This is seen when she feels pretty and shows him that. Dance for him or make an appetizer. This is love, this intimacy, this is sex.
• Massage is good for blood flow and being touched in erogenous areas heightens men's blood flow (and women's). Scents that contain lavender, spice, and amber are usually preferred, but ask your partner what he prefers.
• Roll play can add another dimension to a tired libido. It allows an escape from worries and interjects play into the bedroom. Something as simple as a blind fold can help excite by emphasizing touch and allowing yourself to passively enjoy.
• Watching movies, love stories or reading exotic stories to one another is another way to help excite your partner.
Sexual problems are made worse when the couple doesn't talk about the issue and when they are reluctant to experiment and try new things. There is no right or wrong way to have sex, and the broader your definition of sex is, the more likely you are to achieve great sex. Getting out of your own way and allowing yourself to enjoy one another will help create fireworks in your bedroom.
