Victor Hill was sworn in as Clayton County Sheriff on Thursday morning.
According to Drew Findling of Findling Law Firm, by law in the state of Georgia, any candidate-elect who has won an elected seat can be sworn in within weeks of the upcoming New Year.
Even though Hill was sworn in by a probate judge, he still has to win the court battle against multiple felony charges and a possible suspension from the governor.
Hill is facing a 37-count felony indictment that essentially accuses him of running the sheriff's office, during his previous term from 2004-2008, like a criminal enterprise for his own personal gain.
Gov. Nathan Deal's Chief of Staff Brian Robinson said in November, "Once he is sworn in, the fact that he is under indictment will trigger our office to start a three-person panel."
That panel will look at the matter and decide if Hill needs to be suspended while the case is pending in court.
"I'm yet to see a panel recommend that someone under indictment remain in office. They almost always recommend suspension because an indictment is such serious business," said Robinson.
CBSAtlanta.com will have more on this story as it becomes available.

Cavs Owner Rips Lebron - Legal Implications?
3 comments:
Assuming Dan Gilbert actually issued this open letter, I think it is clearly actionable, but I can't imgine LeBron James taking the bait. He knew the lumps were coming, and he will let them run their course over the weeks to come. I doubt that he really cares. My view. Check out the Cleveland Plain Dealer on line. It's professional sports. It's not real life. Move on Cleveland. Meanwhile James will be checking out high priced real estate in South Beach.

This is the start of an epic rivalry.

I can understand how this owner can be very upset that not only is he losing a superstar on his team but a meal ticket. Not only did Lebron sell out the arena for him but he made a small fortune for Gilbert selling jerseys and other stuff.
But to turn around and blast Lebron or any other player in this fashion is complete lunacy! Who wants to play for a team with an owner like that? Ok, besides Dallas with Mark Cuban but he is the kind of crazy owner you want as a player.
Should legal action be brought against Gilbert? Probably but I am sure it won't and that is fine. I heard that David Stern has fined him $100K.

Thompson backers jump ship for de Blasio, but carefully
As former supporters of Christine Quinn lined up behind Bill de Blasio on the steps of Borough Hall in Brooklyn today, it seemed even some of Bill Thompson's supporters had switched allegiances.
Several of Thompson's most vocal backers came out to endorse de Blasio at a rally announcing widespread support for the Democratic candidate by progressive groups and labor unions.
Among those Thompson defectors were state Assemblymen Walter Mosley, Karim Camara and Rafael Espinal, and Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez.
Mosley said his change of heart did not come easily, and "has nothing to do with being against Bill Thompson," with whom Mosley said he spoke today.
"It wasn't something I took lightly," he said. "After careful consideration [and] having my staff break down the numbers and seeing how convincing the victory was and how much Brooklyn really voiced their opinion for the support of Bill de Blasio, I just felt that it was the appropriate thing to do."
Mosley and Camara were two of Thompson's most active supporters, and their constituencies comprise some of the Brooklyn districts that the Thompson campaign had depended on winning, but went to de Blasio instead.
"[Elected officials] only serve as mouthpieces to the districts we represent," Mosley added. "If the district says one thing, I think it's your obligation as a public servant … to really support the will of the people."
Mosley and Camara separately expressed the same concern that a special election could be harmful to party unity and prevent the Democratic Party from holding the mayor's office for the first time in two decades.
Moreover, they both believe de Blasio would win a special election.
"I don't even think it was a matter of switching [support from Thompson to de Blasio]. I just look at is as making a pragmatic decision," said Camara, who was careful to note his respect for the way de Blasio's focus on inequality has resonated with voters. "It's inevitable that Bill de Blasio will be the nominee whether it's a runoff or not."
Mosley said he "commend[s] the public advocate for a fine race." But when he supported Thompson, Mosley had sharp words for de Blasio, particularly when it was reported that de Blasio concealed some meetings he had with lobbyists.
"Mr. de Blasio continues to prove through his hypocritical behavior and nonsensical campaign promises that he is more concerned with sharp sound bites than actually helping New York's struggling working families," Mosley had said.
Today, Mosley dismissed his earlier fighting words.
"Right now, the issue is not me and what I've said in the past," Mosley said firmly. "The issue is getting Mr. de Blasio, the public advocate, to become the next mayor of our great city."
But Councilman Lew Fidler, who spoke with Mosley on a conference call with reporters regarding de Blasio's lobbyist meetings, told Politicker that Thompson supporters should wait until all the votes are in next week before abandoning their candidate.
"I would tell them to grow a pair and stand tall," Fidler said.

There is a new business along Highway 52. And grinding coffee is just one of the
many things owner Carter Hughes prepares for his day. Valley Vegetables Espresso Shop
opened up this past summer and Hughes created the space with his bare hands.
"I've had a little bit of help
here and there, but all of the construction, plumbing, everything. So, that's
taken me a little while. Good learning experience. But, I guess the building
probably means more to me because of that," says Hughes.
And, in order to keep challenging him
everyday, Hughes is trying to master making every beverage, hot or cold, under
30 seconds, so his customers don't have to wait too long.
"When one pulls up and they get
their drink and take off down the road and 30 seconds later, I get a
"like" on my Facebook page from that person. It tells me something's
going right," says Hughes.
Hughes starts his day by leaving his
home at 4 a.m. and walking to work. But, his commute isn't too long because his
house and his business are on the same property.
"It's unreal how nice it
is. If I could manage to make it work, I'm never going to do anything different,"
says Hughes.
Vegetables Espresso Shop offers a wide range of specialty coffees and even some
baked goods. The business is located just
8 miles east of Minot.

The Plus One Program in Criminology and Criminal Justice provides an opportunity for the best of Northeastern's undergraduate criminal justice majors to complete both the undergraduate program (BS) in criminal justice and the graduate degree program (MS) in criminology and criminal justice in less time than if the programs were completed sequentially.
Students earning a Bachelor's and then a Master's degree from the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Northeastern University would need to earn a total of 160 semester hours of credit (128 semester hours for the BS and 32 semester hours for the MS). However, in the Plus One program, students are allowed to take up to 16 semester hours of graduate courses in their junior and senior years, thereby reducing the total number of semester hours required for both degrees to 144.
Admission to the Plus One Program (sample)
Undergraduate students may apply to the Plus One program at the beginning of their junior year, contingent upon having completed the following courses in the undergraduate criminal justice major:
CRIM 1100 Introduction to Criminal Justice
CRIM 2100 Criminal Due Process
CRIM 2200 Criminology
CRIM 3600 Criminal Justice Research Methods
CRIM 3700 Criminal Justice Statistics
Formal application to the program is limited to students who have an undergraduate record with an overall GPA of at least 3.500 in courses taken to date and have completed at least 64 semester hours of undergraduate credit. Although formal application occurs at 64sh, Plus One advising begins as soon as the student has expressed in an interest in pursuing the Plus One program.
The Program
Once a student is admitted to the Plus One program, the graduate courses in which the student enrolls would replace up to 16 semester hours of upper-division criminal justice electives. Upon admission, students would typically complete the following Master's core courses during their junior and/or senior years to earn these 16 semester hours:
CRIM 7200 Criminology (3sh)
CRIM 7202 The Criminal Justice Process (3sh)
CRIM 7206 & 7207 Statistical Analysis + Lab (4sh)
CRIM XXXX Grad Elective* (3sh)
CRIM XXXX Grad Elective* (3sh)
Once all undergraduate degree requirements have been met, including the completion of at least 128 semester hours, students will graduate with the Bachelor's degree and formally enter the Master of Science program. Students then complete an additional 16 semester hours of graduate coursework in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice to earn the Master's degree.
How to Apply
Undergraduate students who think they might be interested in eventually pursuing the Plus One program should make an appointment to meet simultaneously with the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice undergraduate academic advisor (Gail Horn 617-373-3327) and the Graduate Advisor (Laurie Mastone 617-373-2813) at the earliest opportunity to make sure the program is right for you. Early contact and ongoing advising are key to successful Plus One programs.
At the beginning of your junior year, if the School has determined that you are eligible to apply for the Plus One Program, you will be given a Plus One Internal Admission Application.
Submit this form, along with any additional materials required, to the College of Social Science and Humanities Graduate School, 180 Renaissance Park.
Once you have submitted your application it will be entered into the ApplyYourself application system by Graduate School staff and your recommenders will be notified by email to submit their letters via this system.

Two lanes of the Tri-State Tollway in north suburban Gurnee remain closed Friday afternoon, more than two hours after a six-vehicle crash that sent 14 people to area hospitals.
The crash occurred at 10:49 a.m. on westbound I-94, one mile before the Grand Avenue exit, which is also the exit for the Great America theme park.
The crash involved a semi, three SUVs and two passenger cars, according to Tollway District State Police.
A total of 14 people were taken to area hospitals, a state trooper said. Police did not immediately have information on their injuries or conditions, though at least two helicopters had been called to the scene.
As of just after 1 p.m. the right two lanes of I-94 remained shut down, the trooper said.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
A suspect accused of driving while intoxicated, giving a false name, assaulting an officer and running from police Friday night is in custody.
Russell E. Allender, 30, faces a litany of charges racked up when officers pulled over a red Chevrolet Camaro he was driving in the 1200 block of Brown-Delaware Street. Allender remains in the Madison County Jail on $12,000 bail, according to arrest log records.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Allender was using the car horn excessively while driving southbound late Friday night. Officers pulled over the vehicle, which had no license plate, near 13th Street.
Allender was reportedly slurring his speech and had red, bloodshot eyes. He told police his name was "Dustin Thomas." When an officer attempted to handcuff Allender, he allegedly pushed the officer out of the way, forced the handcuffs off and ran toward a cluster of houses on 13th Street.
Police created a perimeter and tracked down Allender nearby about 15 minutes after he escaped. He was transported to Anderson St. Vincent Regional Hospital for treatment, according to the affidavit. Allender was wanted on charges of probation violation and failure to appear.
Allender has a long history of criminal activity. He pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and theft in 2003 and served a five-year prison sentence. In sentencing, Madison Circuit 6 Judge Dennis Carroll claimed aggravating factors included a "history of delinquent activity, including juvenile adjudication for molestation, and a number of violations while incarcerated, including acts of violence and use of contraband," according to court records.
Allender also pleaded guilty to charges of criminal confinement and intimidation in 2007 and driving while suspended in 2012, according to court records.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Brava! Speaking of dressing rooms, the last show Anika did in New York was Unbroken Circle, which is playing at St. Luke's on 46th Street (where Disaster! now is). The dressing rooms are basically as small as my role was in The Ritz... and that's pretty small. Anika gave us a tour of her Beautiful dressing room and the fact that I would love her bathroom stall as my actual dressing room shows how amazing it is.
On New Year's Day, we went to Julia Murney's annual pancake all-day breakfast. Every Jan 1 (for more than 20 years) Julia stands in the parents' kitchen and makes pancakes and bacon, along with orange juice and coffee, starting at noon. This year, we were the first to arrive! But we were also the first to leave, because we wanted to go to Christine Ebersole's party at her house in New Jersey. We knew we'd have to catch the 1 PM train if we wanted to get there with enough time to enjoy ourselves. Julia told us that instead of taking the train, we could borrow her car. So nice! Since she does the pancake breakfasts at her parents' apartment, I needed to go to her apartment to get the keys. She told me it was in the next building over so I hightailed it there. The front door to the building was unlocked, but it was taking me forever to get her apartment door open. I thought I had the wrong apartment number, but I double-checked and it was correct.
I finally called Julia after much frustration, and she explained that she meant the next building to the left of her parents, not the right. So, first of all, I spent 15 minutes aggressively trying to unlock a stranger's apartment. That would have been fun if the door had opened or the police had been called. And when I was asked by everyone why I simply didn't check the name listed downstairs, I told them that I had, and when I saw a completely different name attached to Julia's apartment number, I assumed it's because she's a Broadway actress and hoped to discourage people from stalking her by confusing them with the name "Peter Fong."
Part Two of the pancake debacle is that a few days into Juli's winter vacation I commented about how amazing it is that she gets two full weeks off. When I was growing up on Long Island we only got 10 days. James told me that he always got two weeks off when he was a kid and he was happy Juli was getting to enjoy two weeks as well. But, truth be told, she wasn't entirely enjoying it. We kept promising her we were going to do exciting and special family things: Go to a movie in a theatre we haven't been, ice skating etc. We put it off for the first week and a half, but decided that we'd begin all of our fun stuff the day after New Year's Day.
So... at the New Year's Day party, James asked Julia where he should park her car on the way back. She told him that anywhere was fine, but not in front of the local school because it would have to be moved since school was about to start back up. Huh? James told her that school actually started back up on Monday. She told him it began Thursday. He looked it up online... and then had to break the news to Juli. That's right — not only were there no fun family adventures in the future, but all the homework she had been saving for the last few nights was suddenly due the next day. Yay?Continued...

This allows three inmates to pursue and attempt to attack another inmate, who jumps from the second story of a cell block. Miami-Dade corrections is looking into the possibility that an officer might have had something to do with the breach.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed a man was ordered to verify his identity by two officers in the palace's gardens at around 6pm on Wednesday.
The confrontation came after an intruder had scaled a fence and got inside the palace on Monday night, before being arrested by police.

Toronto's Pfaff Automotive and Canadian agency Lowe Roche are redefining the definition of "direct mailings." In a new campaign, they targeted affluent homes and then photographed one of the dealership's Porsches on the street outside of each house. They used these photos to produce individualized mailings in which the car appears to be in the potential customer's driveway. Featuring the headline "It's closer than you think," the postcards were printed in a van on the street and dropped in each house's mailbox. As a result of the personalized ads, the dealership saw 32% of recipients log onto their website to schedule a test-drive!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (6/18/13) – The latest Kentucky graduation rates were some of the most improved in the nation, according to a recent report in Education Week, which is a positive sign for Lexington educators who've launched special initiatives to help get more students in a cap and gown.
The graduation rate in the state moved from 63.7 percent for the class of 2000 to 77.2 percent for the class of 2010 (the latest data available), an increase of 13.5 points and the third most improved among all states.
Vicki Ritchie is the director of public high schools for Fayette County. As a former principal of Lafayette High School, she's had first hand experience in working with students to get them ready for graduation. She said Fayette County works really hard to set high expectations.
"We understand in order to get kids college and career ready, and that means lots of different things to lots of different kids, we have to individualize our education," she said. "That personalization is the shift that's been happening over a period of time and is going to continue happening in the future."
Ideally all stakeholders in a student's life should be actively involved in his or her education in order to achieve the best results.
"There's family engagement, there's community engagement, there's faculty engagement, and of course, there's student engagement," said Ritchie.
Ritchie said the schools measure college readiness primarily through ACT benchmarks and end-of-course exams. Career readiness is determined in part through career pathway courses that consist of a series of three classes either offered in the high schools or at technical centers.
The career pathways include nutrition, nursing, culinary arts, and education. Some schools offer industry certificates in areas such as welding and nursing.
Ritchie said the district has made an effort to put students in the most difficult classes they can take.
"We want to challenge kids to their highest potential, to their highest level," she said. "So, we've put a big emphasis on offering students engaging classes."
Schools are now offering more AP courses, which are comparable to college-level courses and give students an opportunity to receive college credit after an end-of course assessment. Also, through partnerships with various colleges, schools are offering dual-credit courses that can give students credit in high school as well as in college.
Paul Laurence Dunbar Principal Betsy Rains said her school has implemented a plan known as the Learning Connection Program to help students behind in their academics to catch up with their classmates.
"It's a program for kids who are disengaged, they're unmotivated, they might not have the support they need outside of school," she said. "They might be just unmotivated but very capable."
Rains said every student in the program is one to three years behind in school. She said the program helps students recover the credits they need to graduate.
"We get them involved in mentoring, and we take them out and have them do some job shadowing," she said. "We take them on field trips and have them do team building. We take them to colleges and universities and let them see what their options are."
The program is now in its third year, and Rains said of the 70 students involved this year, 35 graduated. These students were not classified as seniors prior to entering the program. Rains added that Dunbar is a customer service school, meaning teachers will do home visits in order to develop a more personal relationship.
"Whatever the grade level is, we relate the visit to that. That has been very successful," she said. "It's kind of eased parents' minds so they know what is coming up in the year and it makes our teachers more approachable. We want everyone to feel welcome to come volunteer and come and share with us ways we can help."
Rains said Dunbar's initiatives were actually not established to improve graduation rates, but to improve the lives of the students.
"I knew that we had kids who were sitting in class in the back of the room hiding," she said. "They're capable, they're very smart, they're intelligent, but they don't have any encouragement. They're just being overlooked because they're not a behavior problem. They're just there. We just know these kids are there and they need our help. That's what we're here to do."

Ref: Robbery/Shooting
Date: June 27th 2012
San Juan County, NM – On 6-27-12, at approximately 1103 hours, deputies were dispatched to 3681 US 64 (Valley Meadows RV Park), in reference to an Armed Robbery. Deputy Carlos Loomis arrived first on scene. The victim, Lou Brandy 67 years old, was sitting in his kitchen when the suspect entered his residence. The suspect was wearing camo pants, a black form-fitting shirt, a ski mask (or bandana with the eye holes cut out), gloves and a ball cap. The suspect was holding a gun as he demanded the man's wallet. The victim set the wallet on the table and the suspect told him to take the money out and hand it to him. The victim handed him the money and the suspect asked where the man's wife was. The victim said that he did not know (she was in another room within the residence). The suspect then went out and got into a white, single cab, newer truck with tinted windows with either a grey out-of-state license plate or a plate covered in duct tape. As the suspect turned around in the driveway the victim grabbed a double barrel 410 and shot at the tires. When he saw no effect, he shot into the driver's door.
There was not any broken glass or blood evidence on scene to indicate if the suspect was hit. The victim says the suspect appeared to be a white male, approximately 5'9″ with a slender build. The incident occurred at County Road 3681 US 64. Detectives recovered 2 spent 410 caliber shot-gun shells and other evidence at the scene.

COLEMAN, Ga. (BP) -- For 145 years, Vilulah Baptist Church in Coleman, Ga., has served as the backbone of its small community about 60 miles west of Albany.
The Brotherhood and Woman's Missionary Union have been part of that backbone for as long as anyone can remember.
It's small actions like that taken by the Vilulah Brotherhood on a dark night 42 years ago that underscore the need for ministry groups led by men in churches of all sizes -- groups that rally around those in need in the community and provide a Christian witness.
Terry Tobert, one of many farmers who call Vilulah their church home, remembers his father Jack taking him to Brotherhood and associational meetings when he was a boy.
"Back then that's about all there was going on in the county, so it was exciting for me," he said with a chuckle.
"My dad and uncle, Herbert Blackburn, were leaders in reaching out to others in need in our community, and that's where I learned those values. If a house burned they would help raise the money and actually help rebuild the home. They regularly went door-to-door to ask for funds to help others.
"As you get older you realize that your dad was an even better man than what you gave him credit for," Tobert said.
"Back in those days the Brotherhood had a pretty active card ministry to soldiers as well as our missionaries. They met once a month but they had a strong group, meeting for about three hours for Bible study."
Tolbert's father died in 1987. In September, just before a letter was received from a Vietnam veteran, the remaining two Brotherhood members who participated in sending the cards died.
When Jack Tolbert and Henry Blackburn and others wrote those notes to U.S. servicemen in 1970, the Brotherhood numbered about 15; now it is down to about a half-dozen and the church has dwindled to 50 members.
Bivocational pastor David Murphy, who has served the church since 1998, said increasingly there are fewer people in Randolph County because of the recession and residents moving elsewhere to seek employment. In fact, the city of Coleman was abolished by Georgia House Bill 1120 effective Jan. 1, 2007. Only 149 residents were recorded in the 2000 census.
Yet churches like Vilulah continue to play an important role.
"Our Brotherhood is important on so many different levels," the pastor said.
"It provides a sense of community for the men, an opportunity for Bible study and spiritual growth, and offers a channel for community outreach. The men regularly take up a collection for those in the community who are in need," Murphy said.
"In our little community the men will pull together to get groceries or cut an ill neighbor's grass, cut up a downed tree after a storm. It's really like a small version of Mayberry. We look after each other in the name of Christ."
Murphy remembers well the day he pulled the letter from Jack from the church mailbox.
"When I saw it, I thought it was from someone sending a memorial contribution in memory of someone who had passed away. But as I began to read it I was deeply touched, having served in the military myself.
"The letter made me real proud to know that the Brotherhood did something like that and made a difference in a stranger's life. When you're in the military far from home it really lifts your spirit to know that someone is thinking of you.
"As a soldier once, changing airplanes in St. Louis during the war, a fellow soldier and I were spit on by some protesters in the airport. This gesture by our Brotherhood affirmed Jack and others and let them know they were appreciated in the middle of a very unpopular war," Murphy said.
"I knew that our Brotherhood was a nice group of men, but this lets you know they are nicer than nice. They could have said, 'We don't know anyone serving over there. What difference will it make to send cards to strangers?' Jack's response is the answer to that question.
"I can't tell you how much it has meant to our church and the entire community," Murphy said of the letter. "Because we live in such an economically depressed area, something like that -- a pat on the back -- really boosts our spirits. I've shared the story many times and folks comment on how rare it is to get a reply like that.
"You know, I believe that if someone has impacted your life, you need to thank them for it and let them know they made a difference in your life. It's like sending flowers to someone before their funeral.
"Don't wait too long. Thank someone for the blessing they have been while you have the chance and while they can still hear it," the pastor said.

text:
The gist of the statement is essentially that the current proposal is insane and a horrible deal for Rutgers, but let's talk. Obviously, you have lots of different factions at play here. Ralph Izzo on the BoG is very close to Chris Christie, but he also has to recognize how bad this deal is; but on the other hand, his loyalty is to Rutgers, not Rutgers Camden, and Izzo won't hesitate to negotiate for a better deal. On the other hand, you have Camden professors and students who are opposed to a deal under any circumstances. To them, all I can say is that if the Rutgers BoT/BoG releases a statement that does not outright dismiss the proposal, like it or not, it's time to make preparations that your campus is going to be traded for a medical school. If the deal is right, that always has been and always will be a very easy choice for Rutgers. Of course, this deal is not right, not even close. Rutgers needs to torpedo all of the Newark proposals, refuse to take on UMDNJ's debt, stop George Norcross from using the Rutgers name, extract additional financial concessions, and maybe even consolidate the law schools in New Brunswick. The Sweeney proposal could not possibly be a worse piece of legislation, which is why Loretta Weinberg's statement of praise, and support from other Senate Democrats like Paul Sarlo and Joe Vitale (a traitor to Middlesex County if there ever was one) are enough to induce vomit. As for Farmer's article, the points are correct with respect to Sweeney's awful proposal. However, as to the broader idea of separating Rutgers-Camden, I don't really agree. It's clear that Norcross U would be a clown college with no academic prestige, and it would be completely devoid of funding as all resources are shifted into debt-ridden Cooper Medical School. Therefore, there is no chance that it would pose a genuine threat to Rutgers. The thing is though that this so-called university cannot be allowed to use the Rutgers name, and that Sweeney's idea to designate Rowan as the research university for South Jersey, and Rutgers as the research university for North Jersey must be eviscerated, never to return. Now and forever, Rutgers must retain its status and sole designation the state university for all of New Jersey - regardless of whether it keeps its satellite campuses in Newark and Camden or not.
As expected, the proposal includes provisions for new governing boards in Newark and Camden, which is anathema and unacceptable to the Rutgers boards. George Norcross is still free to loot the Camden campus. Other changes include: 1. As an apparent end-run around Newark's excessive desire for political bribes, Sweeney proposes that Rutgers absorb EVERY UMDNJ asset except for University Hospital. Actually, Rutgers would not want to do this, because UMDNJ is a political patronage mill more than a medical school. It does create the super-patronage mill that Essex County politicians want though, and NJIT has to feel nervous tonight that they will be next in the crosshairs to be gobbled up. 2. In an effort to further curb RU's political independence, Stephen Sweeney's proposal would increase the size of the university's board of governors from 11 to 15 members. Sweeney does concede that the proposal will change, and Newark is definitely gearing for a fight. Now it's up to Rutgers to pit these two groups of fools against each other, and somehow get out of this mess by regaining its stolen medical school.
Bob Braun has a column today where he notes that, given the choice, Richard McCormick would choose the UMDNJ campus in New Brunswick/Piscataway over Rutgers-Camden. Of course he would, because even with the downsides and problems with the Rowan deal, Rutgers still ends up far ahead in any trade. The odd thing about Braun's column though is his concern over UMDNJ's debt. Isn't most of the debt with UMDNJ's Newark campus, especially with University Hospital? There is always the possibility that UMDNJ would try to sandbag Rutgers in trying to force it to take on debt as a condition of the merger, but otherwise, I am not sure about the premises of Braun's larger article. It might take a while to unravel UMDNJ's finances, but Rutgers should stand firm on the point that it should not have to absorb any Newark-related debt. In other news, Rowan University has released its plan for a hypothetical merger with Rutgers-Camden, and it is predictably bad. (Down to the opening graphic on the front page of the report. Ocean County isn't South Jersey!) The plan demands "equal" funding at the same level as Rutgers and NJIT, which makes no sense given that Rutgers is a world-class research university. Given the legislature's lack of inclination to higher ed, that means money coming out of RU's pocket. The report also assumes that there won't be a mass exodus out of the Camden campus after a merger, which is certainly being threatened by existing faculty and students. This all seems awfully ambitious given that the Rutgers board is threatening to block any merger, though that is basic negotiating 101. Even the likes of Greg Brown, the Rutgers alumnus and Motorola CEO who is very close to Christie, are objecting. Maybe Brown can be a useful counterbalance to the influence of George Norcross with Christie. Update: the Philadelphia Inquirer today has a lengthy feature on Norcross.
This interview was just linked on Rivals. Listen Norcross, you want to sell South Jersey on a merger, we get it. But to claim that "hundreds of millions" are being spent on Rutgers football is an outright lie. Stop the lies now, or a tepid Rutgers-New Brunswick response to the merger in Camden will turn into open warfare.
That's the way it seems from this article. EVERYONE on the Camden campus - faculty, students, administrators - is revolting against joining Rowan. That raises an interesting question. Is Rutgers regaining its medical school in New Brunswick tied to giving up the Camden campus? GOP legislators obviously do whatever Chris Christie tells them with the rare exception, and South Jersey legislators votes in a block with George Norcross. Throw in an Essex County delegation that is strongly opposed to losing their subsidy from New Brunswick, and the med school merger could be in real trouble if its votes are contingent on Rutgers ceding Camden. The question becomes then whether that is a requirement or not. My guess: yes. Chris Christie owes Norcross too much for getting almost his entire agenda passed during the past two years (in a state where Democrats dominate on paper), and the other big Democratic boss, Joe DiVincenzo of Essex, is against the merger. So essentially, the Camden campus is going to be devastated if they can't figure out a compromise. Does the Rowan name have to stay in place? Can they just merge Rowan into Rutgers-Camden, and just give Norcross free reign over the hospital? Because if not, and a deal means devastating Rutgers-Camden...then the Rutgers Board of Governors basically has no choice but to go along with that. Better to have one great school than two under the yoke of low expectations. Regaining the medical school in New Brunswick is such an overwhelming positive that it negates all other factors. Update: and it looks like there will be hearings.
This is about to get real. Please don't endanger the New Brunswick merger, Please don't endanger the New Brunswick merger, Please don't endanger the New Brunswick merger... Actually, one really interesting quote from the article is that the faculty Senate president at Camden says Rutgers turned down George Norcross's overtures to build a hospital in Camden several years back, which Rowan then jumped all over. In the article, it's suggested that Rutgers would have a far better negotiating position today had they only went along with Norcross's plans for a medical school. As Norcross and all of the South Jersey partisans would probably respond in private, that line of thinking...assumes that Rutgers-New Brunswick is all that concerned for its satellite campuses in Newark and Camden. Which, it really isn't. Supposedly, the fear in Camden is that when push comes to shove, Rutgers will sacrifice them for a medical school in New Brunswick - and that's exactly what advocates for the New Brunswick campus would do in a heartbeat. With all due respect, we have to watch out for our own, which is what anyone could be expected to do. That's why the spectre of big bad boogeyman Norcross seizing Rutgers-Camden and enveloping it into his patronage mill may not be that bad of an idea. Some people on Rivals were debating the other day how Rutgers has actually suffered over the years by refusing to play ball with the likes of former Middlesex County political boss John Lynch. Here's a compromise idea for Camden. They keep the Rowan name, because of the restrictions tied to the $100m grant to Glassboro State that originally led to the renaming. However, instead of lowering standards at the Camden campus, their criteria for admissions and tenure have to be extended to Rowan. Would that work?

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Shanle said the Atlanta Falcons players acted classless on Sunday, particularly in their treatment of ex-teammate Curtis Lofton, according to a report by Michael Silver of Yahoo!Sports.
Monday morning he told WWLTV.com it wasn't specifically something that Falcons said, but more the actions in talking to Lofton that they were bothed by some of the players.
Saints cornerback Jabari Greer, on the other hand, didn't think anything of Atlanta's actions.
"That's just the nature of the game," Greer said Monday. "We're very prideful people. This is a hot-tempered game. We realize they weren't going to give him flowers and buttercups. It's not one of those games. We play a game in which emotions can go crazy."
Greer did, however, applaud Lofton for the way he approached Sunday game against the team that drafted him in the 2008 second round out of Oklahoma.
"Being professionals, we have to make sure we maintain our poise and maintain a discipline and create the chaos between the lines," Greer said. "I think Curtis did a great job of maintaining his professionalism and going out there and really playing lights out between the lines. I'm happy for him."
Lofton said very little before or after the game about playing his former team. He finished the game with five tackles and one pass breakup.
The only hint as to his emotion following the game came in a simple quote, when he said, "The team that was on the field today was the reason I came to the Saints."
Still, Silver's story paints a different picture.
Another action by the Atlanta team rubbed some New Orleans fans the wrong way.
The "D-block," a Falcons.com locker room video, included a free style rap that seemed to hint that the Falcons would win without a problem on Sunday. The rap occurs at the 11-minute mark.

Go South
On days when I sit deskbound in my office flustered by the rush of deadlines, flood of e-mails and a blinking cursor on a blank page, I stop, close my eyes and remember southern Belize.
I remember stalking permit on the flats with nothing but clouds and wind to distract me. I remember open-air restaurants. I remember a Maya mother making her traditional cocoa beverage; a cool, refreshing river flowing from a dark cave; an air-conditioned bedroom over the water; and ruins where ancient warriors played games.
Punta Gorda no doubt differs from more populated destinations farther north. But this town and the Toledo District, along the Guatemalan border, offer tremendous diversity of culture and a wide variety of lodging - from comfortable yet Spartan to luxurious, stylish and environmentally friendly.
We flew American Airlines to Belize City and then took Belize's Tropic Air down the coast, making several stops along the way. The planes fly relatively low, so you can see most of the coastal region as you travel.
Dennis Garbutt from Garbutt's Fishing Lodge (011-501-722-0070, 011-501-604-3548; www.garbuttsfishinglodge.com) picked us up at the small airstrip and drove us to the lodge, which sits on a point of land. The clean, cool rooms were built on stilts over the water. The Garbutts open their restaurant for large groups, but we ate in town, sampling fresh seafood, Indian cuisine, local specialties and Belizean beers.
On our final day, we toured a cacao farm, visited Maya ruins, ate lunch with a Maya family - we're talking exceptionally free-range chicken - and explored Blue Creek and its cave. Our tour guide, Bruno Kuppinger, who owns Sun Creek Lodge (011-501-604-2124; www.suncreeklodge.de/englisch/home.html) with his wife, Melissa, takes groups on cave swims at Blue Creek.
Kuppinger drove us through much of Toledo, where we visited with numerous lodge owners, some locally born and others who'd made their way from points around the world to southern Belize for the sheer love of the place. Those properties include:
Beya Suites, 501-722-2188; www.beyasuites.com
Coral House Inn, 501-722-2878; www.coralhouseinn.net
The Lodge at Big Falls, 501-671-7172; www.thelodgeatbigfalls.com
Tranquility Lodge, 800-819-9088; www.tranquility-lodge.com

Thousands of pounds of food were distributed out to record numbers of people in Wilson as part of a quarterly food drive by a local non-profit. The need was so intense, a couple hundred people started lining up 24 hours before the doors officially opened at 8:30 a.m.
"There are people that we just had to turn away. You just can't ever get enough food for the needy," said Howard Fisher, founder of Opportunities Industrialization Center of Wilson.
The center has been doing this for 27 years and Fischer has watched the need increase.
"People were in line yesterday to get this bag of food today," Fischer said. "It really breaks your heart to see that kind of need."
Approximately 1,500 people received food during this drive.
"This is an opportunity to get something to provide for my family so we can have something to eat," said recipient Theodore Ivy.
Some in line complained of people abusing the system.
"Anytime you get a bag, then go home and come back, that's cheating because someone else in that line gets cut short," said food recipient Hattie Jenkins.
But Fischer said only a small percentage come back for more food.
"Anytime you have 1,500 coming through, you might get 10 that get through by hook or by crook," Fischer said.

I was not sure what to expect when ordering. But this is an excellent rug. I'm sooooo happy with it. It comes with a rubber backing already on it. It's very attractive, a quality looking addition to my living space. It vacuums up really nice too. The only thing is the natural fibers have a subtle odor to them, in the beginning, but that is going away. I think I'm going to get some for the bedrooms and my office. I really love this rug that much. I'm so happy I took a chance on this purchase!
This rug is definitely sisal and jute. It is scratchy which doesn't bother me at all but my daughter whose room it went into was complaining that it is too scratchy. Not a rug to lay on or let a baby crawl around on. But my daughter(who is in college and home not that often) has a dog who threw up on it about 3 days after we put it in her room and I was like okay, here we go. BUT I blotted it and cleaned it up with a rug cleaner and you can't even see it. I like the rug, it isn't that scratchy, did not have any odor when we un packaged it. I would recommend it for sure!
Love the rug! It is perfect for what I needed it for, which is under a dining table for a house near the beach. I is very easy to vacuum and spills clean up with ease. It traps the sand brought in by the kids and the dog plus at this price it can be replaced in a few years if it starts to look too grungy. It comes with a rubber backing so a pad is unnecessary and it lays nice and flat right from the start. Be advised that this is a fairly stiff sisal so you might not want to use it in a bedroom where you would be walking barefoot often, doesn't hurt but not as comfortable as soft sisal.
It looks very elegant and classic in my dining room. It lightened up the room a lot. I have dark wood table so this was perfect. The smell of the fabric is Not bad at all. It goes away after a couple of days. The only thing is that it's not a soft rug to walk on it but I guess sisal rugs fiber is that way.
This rug has a rubber backing so saves the need for a pad. Very nice and contemporary-looking and a lot cheaper than Pottery Barn. Sisal is rough underfoot. I put it under my dining table.
This rug is so scratchy. My toddler fell on it and started bleeding because it is SO rough! In addition, the edges roll up and will not lay flat. I even tried ironing and steaming the edge to make it flat, with no luck. I am throwing this rug away.
Great rug, arrived quickly. It is true in color and high i quality
bought this rug for my dining room area... went perfect with my dining room table and decor (color was just as pictured online). provided the touch i was looking for to stay with a rustic feel to the room. price point was excellent. i was worried about how the fabric would feel and that it would be to rough but it is actually very comfortable to walk across barefoot (but not something to lay down on for a kids room by any means) overall- very very happy with this purchase
Nice rugs we are very happy with it nice material nice natural colors
This rug was exactly what I've been looking for. It does not require a rug pad due to the finish on the backside of the rug. It is in perfect shape and the rugs that I've been looking at cost twice to three times as much as I paid for this rug. I am very happy with my purchase.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The city of Newark says council president Luis Quintana is now the city's acting mayor.
Cory Booker resigned from the post as of midnight Wednesday and was sworn in Thursday in Washington as New Jersey's newest U.S. senator.
Newark spokeswoman Brenda Jones says a previously approved city ordinance established that the council president would become acting mayor.
A vote formalizing Quintana's interim position was scheduled for Thursday but not enough members showed up to take action. A new vote has been scheduled for Monday.
The city's regularly scheduled mayoral election is in May.

See the Glossary for more terms.
New processes in the works will affect how you will complete and submit your progress reports.
You will benefit from eSNAP's less stringent rules.
Beginning with progress reports due August 1, 2010, you will submit SNAP progress reports electronically through the eRA Commons. This change does not affect non-SNAP progress reports.
Around July 23, NIH plans to automatically enable eSNAP for every institution and sometime this fall will remove the option to disable it.
Don't be concerned—you will benefit from eSNAP's less stringent rules, which allow the following:
For more details, read the May 7, 2010, Guide notice. To learn more about eSNAP, go to the eSNAP (Electronic Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process) SOP.
We have more information in Send Us an Annual Progress Report in the Strategy for NIH Funding and our Progress Reports and eSNAP and Managing a Grant questions and answers.
OMB's new form has mandatory, standard fields for all federal agency progress reports as well as optional fields that NIH may use to collect extra information.
Last month, the White House's Office of Management and Budget released a new electronic progress report for all federal grantees. See its April 21, 2010, memo, Policy on Research Performance Progress Report (PDF).
The new form has mandatory, standard fields for all federal progress reports as well as optional fields that NIH may use to collect extra information. For details, see National Science Foundation's Final Format Research Performance Progress Report (PDF).
Implementation at NIH
NIH is working on its implementation strategy and plans to use the new form for electronic progress reports. We will give you more information in a future article. For now, continue using the PHS 2590.
The Idea
Here's the thinking: with a single form for all federal grants, you won't have to learn how to fill out a new form for each agency, and management processes will take less time.
Another benefit is that government executives can more easily compare science results across programs and agencies, which will help them plan initiatives and set priorities.
New dates affect some investigators who applied through continuous submission.
NIH recently issued a Guide notice that appears to redefine your eligibility to resubmit twice. But for most people, the dates have not changed—you may send a second resubmission if the original application was due before January 26, 2009.
However, new dates do affect some investigators who applied through continuous submission. If you used continuous submission, the original application's Council date determines your eligibility to resubmit twice.
For an application assigned to a Council before August 2009, you may resubmit twice. Otherwise, you get only one resubmission.
And you must submit your second resubmission by the appropriate due date in the third review cycle this year. For a list of deadlines by grant type, go to the April 15, 2010, Guide notice.
And in case you're wondering, the last possible date for resubmitting a second time is for AIDS applications on January 7, 2011, for standard receipt dates or February 7, 2011, for people eligible for continuous submission.
When we treat costs for genomic arrays as supplies, they make an outsize impact on F&A costs relative to the administrative burden they impose.
For applications submitted after May 12, 2010, NIH has a new policy for budgeting genomic arrays for high-throughput research in grant applications and contract proposals.
In each year of the project, your institution can include up to $75,000 for the purchase of genomic arrays in its F&A costs, after it meets a threshold of $50,000.
The new policy applies to new budget requests only—noncompeting awards are not affected.
NIH is taking this step due to a fairness issue. Investigators conducting research such as genome-wide association studies increasingly depend on these costly resources, which they usually buy from commercial sources through a simple purchase order.
When we treat these costs as supplies, they make an outsize impact on F&A costs relative to the administrative burden they impose.
Here's how the new calculation works.
For each year, include up to $75,000 of genomic array purchases in your F&A costs. For example, if you request $65,000 in year one and $250,000 in years two and three, your F&A base would include $65,000 in year one and $75,000 in the other two years.
We will review budget requests for genomic arrays to make sure they comply with the new policy. If a proposed budget does not comply, a grants management specialist will ask you for a revised budget and incorporate required changes into your Notice of Award.
Read the May 13, 2010, Guide notice for details.
Get direct access to NIAID's solicitation lists through FedBizOpps.
Though we used to post new contract solicitations on our NIAID Funding Opportunities List, now we're taking a better approach.
Our Contracts portal links directly to the FedBizOpps.gov site listings for NIAID:
This tack is better because you get access to solicitations, amendments, and award notices in one place, and you don't miss important changes published after a solicitation.
You can still Subscribe to Alerts for the R&D Contracts category to hear about new R&D solicitations by email. Or just watch the New Funding Opportunities section at the bottom of every issue of this newsletter.
Offerors: use the Worksheet as you prepare the Vertebrate Animal Section of your technical proposal.
Because the Vertebrate Animal Section is so important, NIH has created a Contract Proposal Vertebrate Animal Section Worksheet (PDF).
As an offeror, you can use the Worksheet to help you prepare your technical proposal.
During the technical evaluation, the scientific review group members rate your response to the five points outlined in Section L of the solicitation. If your proposal falls within the competitive range, you will need to address issues with this section during contract negotiations.
Read the April 19, 2010, Guide notice for more information on the new worksheet and explanation of offeror, review group, and NIH staff responsibilities.
We revised the Animal SOPs for Contracts to reflect the new details.

Generally, fellowships do not have carryover authority, and NIAID does not usually allow carryover since we expect grantees to use all of the institutional allowance in the year that it was awarded. Grantees can always make a formal request, but there is no guarantee that we will approve it.
To find out how to request carryover, see our Carryover Requests SOP.
See these and older announcements at NIAID Funding Opportunities List.
