Judge dismisses homicide indictment against Hawthorne man in Franklin Lakes' SUV-train crash
A judge on Monday dismissed an indictment against a Hawthorne man accused of recklessly crashing into a moving train in Franklin Lakes last year and causing the death of his best friend.
Bergen County prosecutors had charged Jeffrey Cohen, 20, with first-degree vehicular homicide, based on an expert report that he was driving under the influence of marijuana when he slammed an SUV into a train at the Pulis Avenue railroad on Jan. 24, 2011.
The crash killed the front-seat passenger, Marcus Ruta, a 20-year-old Hawthorne High School graduate and popular former athlete. Cohen suffered minor injuries and was released from the hospital the following day.
Cohen, Ruta and another friend who was in the back seat were returning from a day of snowboarding at Campgaw Mountain in Mahwah.
Blood samples were taken from Cohen while he was at the hospital a few hours after the crash. An expert who analyzed the sample found traces of marijuana and concluded that Cohen must have been under the influence at the time of the crash.
Defense attorney Matthew Priore, however, offered an opinion by another expert, who found that marijuana tends to stay in the body for several days after being consumed, especially in the case of a regular marijuana user like Cohen.
Once the prosecutors' expert was presented with the evidence that Cohen was a heavy user, he was unable to conclude with certainty whether Cohen was under the influence at the time of the crash, or whether the traces found in Cohen's body was "residual marijuana" from a much earlier consumption.
State Superior Court Judge Liliana DeAvila-Silebi made the rare decision to dismiss the indictment on Monday, with no objection from Bergen County prosecutors.
"He was absolutely not under the influence and there was no other reckless conduct," Priore said. "He was not speeding or he was not talking on his cell phone. Some accidents are just accidents."
Martin Delaney, an assistant Bergen County prosecutor, declined to comment Monday.
Priore said Cohen's and Ruta's mothers have been in contact over the last two years and have supported each other.
Cohen is now a student at Bergen Community College, Priore said. His plan to join the U.S. Coast Guard was postponed while charges were pending against him, he said.
"It's been very difficult for him to live with the tragedy that occurred," Priore said. "It was his best friend that was lost in the accident."

Even though the Indianapolis Colts have depended heavily on its rookies and first-year players this season, they know the importance of Sunday's game at Kansas City.
The Colts are just one win away from clinching a spot in the AFC playoffs. Indianapolis, though, has been inconsistent away from Lucas Oil Stadium.
Even facing a 2-12 Chiefs team, the Colts -- to a man -- know that their job will not be an easy one.
"I think we realize what's on the table. If we can win, a chance to get into the playoffs," rookie quarterback Andrew Luck said Monday.
"I think we are excited about that opportunity and realize this is the biggest game we've played yet this year against from what we see on tape, on the offensive side of the ball, an unbelievable defense who plays hard, fast, physical. I think as far as the expectation, we understand if we win, playoffs. If we don't, I guess it's still there. But we want to win."
Luck understands that a loss to Kansas City would put the Colts into a must-win scenario against AFC South champion Houston on Dec. 30.
That's why Indianapolis' players and coaches would much prefer to handle their business on Sunday. The Colts expect the usual raucous crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
"We are well aware, the older guys especially who have been there, of what kind of atmosphere it is," Luck voiced. "They have told us about it. We will prepare for elements as well, but as far as silent count, we've practiced it all year for every away game. We will continue to do that.
"Defensively, they play much better than their record indicates. One of the top defenses that I think we've faced all year. They play hard, they are fast, physical, they make plays. It's going to be a great challenge for us, offensively."
Outside linebacker Robert Mathis, one of the few remaining long-term veterans on the Colts roster, knows that Kansas City will throw everything at Indianapolis from an offensive standpoint as well.
"It's the NFL. You can't underestimate anybody. Last year, we were sitting in the same spot, not many wins, but at the same time we came to play each and every week," Mathis said.
"That's what they do. They get paid to do a job and they do it very well."
It will be the Colts' job to win and earn a playoff spot.
"The [playoff] atmosphere is alive and well, just knowing that we want to be playing in January. We want our coach, Chuck, to lead us out so that's a little extra added motivation," Mathis added.
Zbikowski upgraded – Strong safety Tom Zbikowski has not played for the last three weeks due to a shin injury. On Monday, interim coach/offensive coordinator Bruce Arians had ruled Zbikowski out of Sunday's game at Kansas City.
Arians, though, reversed himself on Wednesday. The former Notre Dame defensive back is now listed as questionable for the Chiefs game. He saw limited work in Wednesday's practice.
Injury list – Running back Delone Carter (ankle), inside linebacker Kavell Conner (hamstring), and center Samson Satele (ankle) will not play at Kansas City.
Sitting out Wednesday were inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman (thumb), outside linebacker Dwight Freeney (ankle), center A.Q. Shipley (knee) and nose tackle Martin Tevasue (illness).
Nose tackle Antonio Johnson (ankle), offensive tackle Winston Justice (biceps) and Zbikowski were limited in practice. Safety Joe Lefeged (knee) and Luck (knee) both fully participated in the workout.
Freeman watched practice from the sidelines but had his left hand wrapped. His status for Sunday remains undecided.

Upcoming XACML Training Workshops
With the advent of APIs in the enterprise comes the need for a new security model. An effective runtime security strategy for the type of open integration environment created by APIs requires the deployment of three intertwined elements – a policy enforcement point, a policy decision point and an attribute service.
Layer 7's SecureSpan API Proxy fits into this strategy as the policy enforcement point. The API Proxy verifies/authenticates any incoming message before assembling a standard XACML request, which is then sent to the policy decision point. Layer 7 offers easy integration with leading policy decision point technologies from Axiomatics and Radiant Logic.
To help enterprise architects understand how XACML is used for this kind of integration, we've been organizing a series of workshops in collaboration with our friends at Axiomatics, Radiant Logic and SailPoint. Coming up, we've got events at the Mikrotek Training Facilities in San Francisco, Chicago and New York. Here are the details:
- San Francisco
February 27, 9am-5pm

NEW YORK (AP) - A person familiar with the negotiations tells FOX 5 News that free-agent catcher Brian McCann and the New York Yankees are about to complete a five-year deal for around $85 million.
McCann's agent tells FOX 5 News on Saturday night that the contract is expected to include a vesting option for at least another year.
The move would be the first major addition for the Yankees since they missed the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years. They finished fourth in the AL East this season.
The Yankees made finding a catcher a priority this offseason, and McCann was the best available. The seven-time All-Star played all nine of his big league seasons with the Atlanta Braves.

The Washington Post
College costs loom large in the parental mind. According to a 2013 report by Sallie Mae, half of parents are putting away money for their kids' education. Those who aren't are fretting about it, saying that they feel "frustrated," "overwhelmed" and "annoyed" when they think about college savings.
But most parents will deal with an even larger kid-related expense long before college, and it's a cost that very few of them are as prepared for: day care.
A report by Child Care Aware of America, a national organization of child-care resource and referral agencies, found last fall that the annual cost of day care for an infant exceeds the average cost of in-state tuition and fees at public colleges in 31 states.
The biggest gap is in New York, where day care will set you back nearly $15,000 a year but in-state college tuition averages just $6,500 — a difference of over $8,000.
Maryland, Massachusetts, Colorado and Oregon also have large gaps. Maryland, for instance, is ranked fifth in the nation when it comes to the annual cost of putting an infant in day care, at $13,055. But it's in the middle of the pack with regards to in-state college tuition, at $8,220 per year. This means Maryland parents will pay nearly $5,000 more per year, on average, to put a kid in day care than they will to put the child through college.
At the other end of the spectrum is South Carolina, where in-state tuition is higher than the cost of day care by about $4,000 a year. This is in part because the state cut funding for higher education by 67 percent from 1980 to 2011, according to the American Council on Education, forcing parents to pick up the slack in the form of higher tuition.
In addition to differences in the size of their higher-education budgets, states rise and fall on the list because of variations in overall cost of living and — more importantly — the stringency of regulations and licensing requirements for day-care providers. Stricter rules may mean safer toddlers, but they are also likely to mean bigger monthly day-care bills.
Unlike the high cost of college, the high cost of day care may come as a bit of a shock to the family wallet. While couples have years to prepare for college costs, there is little if any time to save for child care. A baby is born, and parents typically have to go back to work in just a few weeks.
It typically takes 18 years to sock away a sufficient college nest egg. Considering that child care is an equivalent, if not greater, expense — and that the average maternal age at first birth is now 26 — this suggests that people should start putting away money to care for their future children by the time they're roughly 8 years old.
Sorry, kids: Half of your third-grade allowance is now going to be set aside in the day-care fund.
This may not be a realistic solution. But it does raise the question: How do people cover the enormous cost of child care? A report out Tuesday by the Pew Research Center finds that an increasing number of parents are simply avoiding child-care costs by staying home.
Nearly 30 percent of moms now drop out of the workforce or never enter it, up from 23 percent in 1999. For many families, it simply makes more financial sense for a parent to stay home with a young child than it does to incur thousands of dollars in day-care costs.
Who are these stay-at-home moms? Pew reports that just 5 percent of "U.S. married stay-at-home mothers (with working husbands) had at least a master's degree and family income exceeding $75,000."
"Stay-at-home mothers are younger, poorer and less educated than their working counterparts," Pew reports. " For example, 34% of stay-at-home mothers are poor, compared with 12% of working mothers. They are also less likely to be white and more likely to be immigrants."
This suggests that stay-at-home motherhood is primarily driven by people having too little money, rather than having the luxury of an expendable second income.
What can be done? For the college-bound, there is always the solace of myriad sources of potential financial aid for students who need or deserve it. Some day-care providers also offer sliding-scale payments based on income.
So far, however, no matter how smart the kid may be, there are no merit-based scholarships for day care.

This film is an evocative, effective entry into the holiday blood-spray subgenre in its own right. And if it doesn't make your skin crawl ... you probably ate too much Christmas dinner.
Silly, obvious, clumsy, and just gruesome enough to keep jaded genre fans from angrily throwing popcorn at the screen.
Where the first film was a seminal forerunner of early stalker classics like "Halloween," this version feels as stale as old gingerbread.
Props to the Weinstein Brothers for having the guts to release a slasher film on Christmas Day. Too bad this one is the cinematic equivalent of tryptophan.
Bad film fans will think Christmas has come early, everyone else should ask for the receipt.
The product itself isn't so much afterthought as afterbirth -- a bloody mess to be dumped discreetly.

Feb 2, 2013The 2006 remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS was doomed to fail from the very beginning, and yet it is surprisingly one of the most entertaining entries the Slasher genre has seen in years! Glen Morgan never attempts to recreate the suspense and mystery of the original, and instead delivers an absurdly hilarious and over-the-top gorefest to bring some holiday cheer to Horror fans. Once again, the Delta Alpha Kappa house is receiving intimidating phone calls on Christmas Eve, the same night when a deranged psychopath killed his family at that very house years earlier. What they don't know is that Billy has escaped from the mental institute and returned home for the holidays! From the very beginning, we are introduced to both villains, which destroys the ambiguity of the original story. In doing so, however, we get to see the makings of these two insane killers in a series of twisted flashbacks. It is no wonder Billy turned into such a model citizen given his pathetic childhood and abusive mother. Back on the loose, he and his inbred daughter wreak terror on the dopey sorority sisters in an eye-popping extravaganza of bloody mayhem! Literally, eye-popping, eye-eating, eye-stabbing... Morgan has found more ways to gouge out people's eyes than anyone ever thought possible! All the while, the onslaught of violence is set to the ironic "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as one idiot character is mercilessly killed after another. Robert Mann's infuriated performance as Billy earns some great laughs as he sets up the character's building rage, but thankfully the mindless sorority girls are quickly dispatched. A guilty pleasure to be sure, BLACK CHRISTMAS is too much fun to be tossed away with the other garbage Slasher remakes like SORORITY ROW or APRIL FOOL'S DAY. -Carl Manes
I Like Horror Movies… Expand
Aug 13, 2010This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Christmas, the latest entry in a long thread of horror remakes, is no different than any other. Pointless and unnecessary, Black Christmas follows the plot of the original, without maintaing any sense of spook or scare which the first one offered (the longest chase scene displayed here was somewhere along 20 seconds).
Initially, the film seemed like a decent slasher film without many deficiencies. But after multiple viewings, and watching Bob Clark's stunningly macabre original take on the film, the reverence wears off, and the flaws start surfacing all but too blatantly obvious.
For one, the backstory and insight offered to the audience regarding our killer, Billy, had gallingly sunk the level of enigma and mystique surrounding the character so low until the antagonist had become nothing but a one-dimensional killer whose inevitable fall you would be awaiting ever so restlessly as the minutes crawl by. Though certainly, he could not have been any worse than the boneheaded stick figures Morgan had standing around like dishes in an all-eyeballs-you-can-eat buffet whose actions scream, "Kill me now!".
The exasperatingly predictable ending was so used and recycled over and over again that you'd be daft not to see the killer's encore in one brutal mortuary scene. I mean, come on, Hollywood! Spring for a new climax every once in a while.
Moving on, performances by the band of ogle-able eye candies were stodgy at times, although a few of the leads did not do all that badly as relative newcomers standing so close to the spotlight. Katie Cassidy and Crystal Lowe did good jobs, seeing as how this is the first time they possess screen times greater than 15 minutes. Although we've seen better from Michelle Trachtenberg and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, they're not to be blamed completely. On a second thought, all of them performed ably, considering the poorly-written screenplay they were forced to reenact.
However, not all is completely bad with the film. I, for one, remarkably found Black Christmas to be visually stunning and optically magnifect. It's a treat to the eyes, though not to the ears, as Shirley Walker's final score composition is not nearly as decent as could be, with the cues taking sharp turns up and down at supposedly "boo" moments (plus, one or two of them sounded like direct rip-offs from GarageBand). Nevetheless, the disorienting angles set up by Morgan is a job well done, as it gives the film a wonderful sense of eeriness and discomfort it would alternatively lack.
Black Christmas's entertaining use of over-the-top gory spectacle also ends up in favor with the film, as it provides a sort of "campy" style one might find difficult to see in slashers nowadays since most of them would prefer to obtain a PG-13 rating rather than give viewers their money's worth. Despite that, the film's just one more eyeball-pop away from being labelled "torture-porn". Therefore, Morgan has found just the right equilibrium that keeps the film's gore at hand. Additionally, there are quite a number of decent and memorable kills here. And on that note, I'd also like to direct my sincerest kudos to Morgan for an eerily horrifying flashback sequence, concerning a rolling pin, a cookie cutter and fresh milk.
The set and production designs were top-notch. They did a wonderful job in assuring that they get the feel and the look right. Although present sorority house may look comfy and cheerful, there's a hidden disquieting note, dubiously emphasized by excellent use of lightings. One more asset worthy to note is the film's short duration. Those not a fan of gore will only have to sustain 80 minutes of this film before the credits roll over. But then again, if you're not a gorehound, why even bother?
Despite Morgan's well intentions to recreate a strong slasher film from the 1970s, his visage of this re-imagination never succeeds to strike the right note. Regardless of some high points, Black Christmas is better off skipped, especially if you're not exactly a fan of carnage.… Expand
Jun 5, 2014Hilariously Dimension films thought that this film would market better by having Christmas related death scenes added to the trailer, of which none appear in the actual film. This should have been the first indication that maybe the movie needed to be tweaked. Far too much in your face and not enough suspense.… Expand

MT. VERNON — Three local couples will be recognized during the third annual Black Married Couples Hall of Fame dinner scheduled Saturday, Nov. 9 at the Rolland W. Lewis Community Building at Veterans Memorial Park.
Couples will walk the red carpet at 5:30 p.m. Hors d'oeuvres and a catered dinner will be served. The dinner is for individuals 18 years of age and older. Tickets are $25 each or $50 per couple.
Tim and Kelly Brinson, pastors of the Antioch International Assembly, 228 S. Ninth St., are the featured speakers.
"This will be the third year for this event," explained co-organizer Cleo Holt, representing Threefold Ministry. "It's an event we put together to recognize married couples in the community."
According to an organizational flyer, Black Marriage Day was started to create a cultural change in the black community to "rethink the way to look at marriage." It began in 2003 in response to low rates of black marriage and was created by Nisa Muhammad, executive director of the Washington based Wedded Bliss Foundation.
This year, three couples have been identified to be recognized. They were nominated by local community members and selected by an out-of-town committee. The couples to be recognized include: Anthony and Rose Moore, Elder James and Shirley Gordon and Timothy and Terria Westbrook.
Holt said the organization conducts studies throughout the year to help solidify marriages. Past studies have included: The Five Love Languages, Experiencing God as Couples, Marriage by the Book and Courageous.
"We invite anyone to come that want to participate," Holt said. "We discuss marriage, and specifically, how to make it better."
This is a catered event. Organizers are asking attendees to RSVP by calling the Holts at 214-8257 or 214-2111 or Elbert Cain at 237-8161. No tickets will be sold at the door.
Holt said the last two events have averaged between 55 to 65 people.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) -- Kenny Perry shot a 2-under 70 Sunday for his second Champions Tour title, cruising to a five-shot victory in the ACE Group Classic.
Perry birdied three of his first eight holes, and no one ever got closer than four shots after that. Perry totaled 24 birdies -- two short of the tour record for a 54-hole event -- and tied Allen Doyle (1999) for the largest margin of victory in the 25-year-old tournament.
Last year's Champions Tour rookie of the year set the tour's 36-hole scoring record in relation to par at 18 under following a 62 in Saturday's second round.
Defending champion Bernhard Langer eagled No. 17 for the third straight day and finished in second place after a 70. A bogey on the final hole dropped Perry into a tie with Langer for the tournament scoring record Langer set last year.

Ayurveda and Asana
Virasana (Hero Pose), Siddhasana (Easy Pose), and Padmasana (Lotus Pose) are very calming poses which sedate vata's agitated nature. These meditative poses are excellent for calming the nervous system, which aids in the healing of anxiety, nervousness, sciatica, and muscle spasm. The most calming pose of all is, of course, the supine Savasana (Corpse Pose).
People of vata nature should avoid asanas that are overly stimulating to the nervous system, such as repetitive Sun Salutations, and those that place excessive pressure on sensitive joints in the body. The cervicothoracic junction�the bony region where the neck meets the shoulders�is one of these areas. Here, large vertebrae stick out like "sore thumbs." People of vata nature and imbalance tend to have weaker bones, less fatty padding, looser ligaments, and more susceptibility to pain. For these reasons, Salamba Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand) and Halasana (Plow Pose) should be avoided or modified by placing a blanket under the shoulders for extra padding. This also decreases the extreme flexion the neck is placed in. Even so, people of vata nature or imbalance should not hold these poses for very long, or they will risk injury.
Asanas for Pitta
Asanas that help balance pitta are those that place pressure on the naval and solar plexus region, in the small intestine where pitta resides. These asanas directly affect the liver and spleen and help regulate the strength of the digestive fire.
Ustrasana (Camel Pose) is very beneficial for pittas. Kneel with the buttocks lifted as though you were standing on your knees. Place your palms on your buttocks. Move your thighs and pelvis forward as you extend the lower back, bringing your hands to your heels. Gently extend your neck. Remember to breathe. This asana opens up the abdomen, solar plexus, and chest, allowing for freer movement of energy through these regions.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) are also excellent solar plexus extension poses for pitta. These asanas can play a role in the treatment of ulcers and hepatitis.
To perform Cobra Pose, lie face down with your feet together and ankles extended. Bend the elbows and place your hands flat on the floor by your lower ribs. (Less flexible people may choose to place the palms on the floor at shoulder level.) Upon inhalation, extend the elbows and raise the head, chest, and abdomen off the floor while keeping the pelvic bones on the floor. The head may be held in a neutral position or in extension.
Headstand should be avoided for people of pitta imbalance or constitution. Headstands heat the body, and much of this heat accumulates in the head and the eyes. The eyes are an organ controlled mainly by pitta. For this reason, Headstands can help cause or worsen diseases of the eyes. If a person of pitta constitution with no serious imbalance chooses to do Headstands, then the Headstand should be held for a very short period.

Jackson Avery
Meredith Grey and Jackson Avery have a lot in common: both have to suffer the pressure that comes with carrying famous surnames. The super-hot grandson of famous surgeon Dr. Harper Avery (for whom the prestigious Avery Award, which Richard Webber was short-listed on, is named), Jackson is a surgical resident who joined Seattle Grace after the hospital's merger with Mercy West. Although he developed a crush on Cristina, which culminated in a drunken kiss at a party, she's made it clear that she isn't interested. Despite his nickname ("Pretty Boy"), Jackson has shown himself to be a promising surgeon, performing admirably under pressure during the hospital shooting.

Jace McTier has always loved art. One of his earliest memories is traveling to Washington D.C. with his mother, who was commissioned to paint then President Ronald Reagan."When I got back to preschool the next day, I had a picture of the president for show-and-tell and nobody else had one. I thought that was pretty neat and I understood then the art world was pretty special," McTier said.While art has taken the McTier family all over the world, their most recent project can be seen right in their own back yard, Downtown Wrens.
"It was first commissioned by the Wrens Better Homes Inc. and they wanted to honor veterans through the wall that faces the park," said Lucy McTier, Jace's mother. "We were blessed to give an idea of what we might have in mind."An idea that stretches along a 70-by-11-foot wall and took about 3 weeks, 30 painters and 10 gallons of water resistant paint to complete.The McTier family says every image captured in the mural is based on family photos and letters from local military veterans who served during the Vietnam and Second World wars."What's meant the most to me is when a veteran will come by and just stop. We've seen some break down to tears and the best comment I've heard was from one of those men who just looked at me and my mom and my dad and said, thank you for remembering," Jace said.The adjacent Veterans memorial park is special to the McTier family. Several of their relatives who fought in wars are honored there and an image of Hammond McTier, Jace's great-uncle is part of the mural.

Air Emissions:
Status of Regulatory Activities and Permitting on Alaska's Outer Continental Shelf
GAO-14-187R: Published: Jan 9, 2014. Publicly Released: Jan 9, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, amended the Clean Air Act to transfer regulatory authority for air emissions on the outer continental shelf (OCS) off Alaska's north coast, including the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the Department of the Interior. Since the act was passed on December 23, 2011, there has been limited activity subject to air emission regulations or permitting on the OCS off Alaska's north coast, according to officials at the EPA and Interior. EPA officials stated that, before the act was passed, EPA had issued to Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc. and Shell Offshore, Inc., collectively, three air emission permits for drilling and other activities on the OCS off Alaska's north coast. Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is responsible for reviewing and approving plans for exploration, development, and production activities; this process includes projections of air emissions. According to a BOEM official, after the act passed, Shell conducted exploratory drilling on the OCS off Alaska's north coast in 2012, but it did so under its existing air emissions permits from EPA. Ancillary activities, such as surveys of the seafloor, have also been conducted. On November 6, 2013, Shell requested that its EPA permits be terminated. On the same day, Shell filed an exploration plan with Interior for the 2014 open water season in the Chukchi Sea on the OCS off Alaska's north coast. Interior officials were reviewing Shell's plan at the time this report was issued.
Interior's air quality regulations have not been substantively updated since 1988, and the department is developing a proposal to amend its current oil and gas air quality regulations. According to BOEM officials, the proposed rule under development will address not only the change in jurisdiction from EPA to Interior for the OCS off Alaska's north coast, but also update the regulations to reflect changes in pollution standards, modeling, and technology. For example, BOEM officials said the proposed rule will incorporate by reference current EPA-defined national ambient air quality standards and certain modeling criteria. Interior officials said that the department is still developing the proposed rule changes, including defining the issues that will be addressed in this or future rulemakings, as well as the expected time frames for completion.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, mandates GAO to report to Congress on the processes for Interior and EPA permitting of OCS air emission activities on the OCS north of Alaska. This report discusses the status of such activities.
What GAO Recommends
This report contains no recommendations.

"The government submits that a sentence of 30 to 35 year\'s imprisonment strikes a fair and just balance between the aggravating and mitigating factors applicable to Headley."
"While there is no question that his criminal conduct was deplorable, his decision to cooperate, and the uniquely significant value that cooperation has provided to the government\'s efforts to combat terrorism, support the government\'s recommendation," Attorney Gary S Shapiro said in a 20-page governments position-paper as to sentencing factor related to Headley.
US rules out extradition for Headley
The US government\'s seeking 30-35 years imprisonment for Headley is far less than when compared to what it had sought for Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who has held guilty by a federal grand jury for providing material support to Lashkar-e-Toiba and planning a terrorist attack against a Danish newspaper in Copenhagen.
Last week, the court sentenced him for 14 years followed by five years of supervised release.
"Headley played an essential role in the planning of a horrific terrorist attack," the US Government said, adding that his advance surveillance in India contributed to the deaths of approximately 164 men, women, and children, and injuries to hundreds more.
"Undeterred by the shocking images of death and destruction that came out of Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark less than two months later to advance a plan to commit another terrorist attack," the US attorney said.
Headley played important role in 26/11 mass murder: US
Washington: Even though Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley played a supportive role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, but it was unquestionably an essential role contributing to the mass murder, the United States said.
In a submission before a Chicago court, the US government said Headley provided video of and intelligence about the locations that later were targeted during the Mumbai terrorist attacks.
He also assisted in plotting out a portion of nautical route that the attackers would take, and recommended the landing point that they later used to enter Mumbai without being detected, it said.
"Headley played a supporting role to the attacks, but an essential one that unquestionably contributed to the mass murder that took place," US government informed the Chicago Court through Attorney Gary S Shapiro.
According to Shapiro, from 2002 to 2005, Headley attended five separate Lashkar training camps where he was indoctrinated on the merits of waging jihad and trained in combat skills.
When Lashkar leaders decided that Headley would better serve them by conducting advance surveillance, he changed his and enlisted the assistance of his friend, Rana, to travel to and stay in Mumbai without detection starting in 2006 and continuing to 2008, Shapiro said.
Shapiro told the court that before the Mumbai attacks took place, Headley was instructed by his Lashkar handler to travel to Denmark to perform surveillance for yet another attack.
After seeing what took place in Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark in January 2009, he said.
There, he gained entry to two separate facilities for the newspaper, using the same cover story provided to him by Rana that he used in Mumbai, Shapiro said, adding that in February and May 2009, he met with Ilyas Kashmiri, who encouraged Headley to break away from Lashkar and plan the attacks in Denmark with his group.
"Kashmiri directed Headley to meet with associates in the United Kingdom, and inform them that the plan was to take over the newspaper building and fight to the death with responding Danish forces. Specifically, Kashmiri told Headley that he wanted the attackers to behead hostages and throw the heads on the street in order to heighten the response from Danish authorities," it said.
According to Shapiro, Headley traveled to the UK to meet with those associates in July 2009, and thereafter visited Copenhagen a second time, where he took more video of the intended target.
In early October 2009, Headley was arrested at O'Hare Airport, where he was set to travel to Pakistan to again meet with Kashmiri, as well as Sajid Mir.
"In sum, Headley worked to advance the violent goals of terrorist organizations and terrorist attacks for approximately seven years," Shapiro said.

- AveragemangiaDined on 8/19/2014The menu looks promising but the execution fails. Panzanella is just a decent salad with some fresh(!) lumps of bread. Gnocchi drown in way-way much of tomato sauce, which is much too sour - one can only taste that sourness. Decent wine list.
- Very Nice Evening!1ActonMomDined on 8/19/2014Yummy lobster stuffed pasta in a cream sauce!!! Loved it!Special Features:
- Too coldSJaddouDined on 8/17/2014Everything was good except that I felt like I walked into a fridge.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good local chain restaurantrockdocsteveDined on 8/8/2014I don't usually like to go to chain restaurants, but this one in Concord is the exception to my rule. Everyone from the front desk host to the waiter AND the manager made our visit here very enjoyable. We came with a Living Social offer and we were treated extremely well. The salads are HUGE and can easily be shared (and probably should be @ $7-8:50). The entrees are generously portioned and very tasty. We enjoyed our visit and will definitely return here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow Dinner Service, but Great FoodHdhejVIPDined on 8/3/2014The dinner took forever to come out today and it was an early dinner. The food was great and we were not in a rush, so everything was okay. The kitchen and wait staff were not in sync today. Mom ordered gluten free rolls that showed up 30 minutes after we ordered. Then came 2 more! I had the swordfish special with a risotto cake. THe meals tend to lack veggies, so I ordered asparagus on the side and that came right away.
- best salad specialApaolinoDined on 7/31/2014delicious special of the day Spinach salad with grilled peaches, I added a side of grilled salmon - DELICIOUS!!Special Features:
- BISCOTTIAregularVIPDined on 7/30/2014This restaurant has it all, ALMOST; Great service; great food; great Managers, BUT, NO BISCOTTI! How can you achieve true GREATNESS with out a good offering of great BISCOTTI????????Special Features:
- Luv2doWIneVIPDined on 7/24/2014Excellent Italian food in Concord. Service was fabulous and waitress made accommodations on our food creations. Highly recommend. Fresh food prepared to order. We will be returning :)I would recommend this to a friend.
- The food was great, atmosphere tooOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014Derek our server did a great job and was attentive the whole night. We never had to go look for him. Thank you for a great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No longer worth the tripOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/14/2014Food quality was poor 2 entrées of salmon were both dry and taste less. My order of chicken was tasteless and somewhat dry the side of potatoes was overcooked too while the sautéed spirit och was tasteless too. Overall the food has gone way down hill. This is the 2nd straight time at this restaurant that the food was far from its old standard. Don't think we will be back
- Pizza was ok.Linda1954VIPDined on 7/9/2014Pizza was ok. I probably won't get it again unless I forget how mediocre it was.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/20/2014Always a pleasure to dine here. The food is consistently good and the service excellent.Special Features:
- Safe betanguspodgornyDined on 6/17/2014We go to Pappa Razzi-Concord many times in a year for lunch, brunch and dinner. Very good food, excellent service and good value. There are good surprises with their specials.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedHowardDined on 6/17/2014We visit this restaurant every few months but this time we found it exceptionally noisy--deafening in fact. We were told sound-absorbent tile was scheduled for installation. Can't be soon enough. The food was about as before, but the coffee was lukewarm. I will add that the service was not at fault.
- Tired, againj12551VIPDined on 6/15/2014We keep coming to Papa Razzi in Concord because the whole family can usually find something to their liking and the prices are not too high. That said, the last few visits have honestly been mediocre. It seems this chain restaurant is starting to lose its edge. If we have another so-so visit here, I am going to be forced to write this one off as yet another blah blah pizza/Italian restaurant so abundantly available in the area. I wish someone would get in the kitchen and get it really sharp again.Special Features:
- It has been betterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/15/2014Out service was not as good as we expected. The evening was very busy - Father's Day, and we had long periods of inattention when we were actually hoping for attention. The food was great, the service could have been better.Special Features:
- DinnerJlljDined on 6/13/2014I love the food but we had a 7:30 reservation and had to wait another 20 minutes to get seated- Frustrating! Service was fine but the waitress forgot my second glass of wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RuffRonyDined on 6/6/2014Food was hot and delicious .... waitress was very attentive. Excellent cosmos!Special Features:
- Miss the old menu!Linda1954VIPDined on 6/4/2014Wish the new owners would bring back the old menu. Just not enough vegetarian options.Special Features:
- Large partyItaliangirlDined on 5/30/2014My family and I have been to Papa Razzi's a few times now, and have been pleased with the food and service every time. Recently, however, I reserved a table for a large party for a weekend night, my friends were all there on time, and since it was a surprise bday celebration, it was a little frustrating that we could not be seated for 30 minutes. Why make the reservation then? We will go back, but I would be hesitant to book another function for a large party.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A big step downout2dinnerVIPDined on 5/29/2014As long time Papa Razzi fans, we were very disappointed by our recent visit. The new owners have really gutted the menu, and taken away the special touches. The food is now bland; in this recent case, underdone roasted potatoes and broccolini, smaller sized drinks and glasses of wine. Our waiter was pleasant but unknowledgeable, and his timing was way off. In general, this once consistently delicious and pleasant destination bears all the earmarks of ruthless cost cutting, and they've lost a customer in us.
- SusieQVIPDined on 5/25/2014Papa Razzi is typically very consistent; good service, good food, good experience. Everything was off this Sunday evening.
- local gem!foodloverVIPDined on 5/24/2014Papa Razzi Concord is definitely our go-to restaurant. We can always count on excellent service as well as consistent and delicious entrees. Along with our ever favorite chicken parmesan, we enjoyed a sword fish special this visit that would rival any high end, gourmet restaurant, anywhere. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were outstanding. We especially enjoy the ambience when we eat in the bar area.Special Features:
- Fresh ingredients/food allergiesLittleItalianMamaDined on 5/11/2014I have food allergies and was able to find plenty of choices on the Papa Razzi menu. I believe they cook food to order and use top-shelf ingredients -- a rarity in the restaurant world these days. Plus the food was tasty and well-presented. Brunch is a great deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always come backtaximom4evaDined on 5/10/2014just a fun convenient place with a consistently good selection on the menu. we dine out often and this is the best in the area and the prices are reasonable as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediocreChristineVIPDined on 5/10/2014Food was not timed well. Main course overlapped our appetizers. I had the shrimp with polenta and arugula. My dish was almost cold while all the others were piping hot. For ~$28 I got 4 shrimp that were not cleaned of the vein. The other dishes were very oily and my family all had abdominal issues after eating. We were seated in a side room, the only four top table where the rest were tables of 10. It was so loud we couldn't speak to each other. We will not return.
- The following 264 reviews are from the Papa Razzi-Concord reviews archive.
- Superb servicePastramimanDined on 5/4/2014We recently had an 88th birthday party with 13 people, including four (well-behaved) kids age six and under. The staff was extraordinarily attentive. The food was hot when it arrived. The poached eggs were runny! At the risk of making the place too crowded, I urge you to go there for weekend brunch.Special Features:
- ReliablejimphelanDined on 5/2/2014There aren't many good restaurants in the western Boston suburbs, but PapaRazzi's stands out. I met a friend for dinner and both of us enjoyed our food, drink and company. Wine list is very good and prices are reasonable.Special Features:

- Consistently goodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/20/2014Papa Razzi's in Concord is our favorite local restaurant when any of the family is in town. The food is consistently good, the service very friendly and professional and the prices are reasonable.Special Features:
- Excellent service, great foodWifnDined on 4/19/2014Our server was incredibly friendly and proficient. She knew the menu in and out. The entire staff was great. The food was great and the portions were reasonable instead of being so huge you can't finish them. Absolutely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What did you say?8MyPlateCleanDined on 4/18/2014I asked in advance for a quiet spot for our group of 6 because my Mom is hard of hearing and yet we found ourselves in the middle of the main dining room where the acoustics are terrible and you can hardly hear yourself think. People at the table were having to lean over the person next to them to have a conversation. The chicken mushroom risoto was exceedingly salty even though I asked for a low salt preparation. I guess the days of personalized preparation the way you want it at Papa Razzi is a thing of the past. Salad was good and so was desert.
- Home away from homeladybugDined on 4/13/2014I love Papa Razzi, it is a place that offers the best Italian food at a good price with a staff that always makes you feel at home.Special Features:
- A+ for the nightApaolinoDined on 4/12/2014Recently our Papa Razzi in Concord has been through new mgmt and has been suffering - our dinner Saturday night was a great blast from the past! the service was as expected, the food very good and delivered in timely manner and the mgr came over to comment and ask how we were doing in light of a recent review for poor service. They even provided dessert and dessert wine on the house for the past experience. It was a very welcome gesture and one that made us feel they were listening and wish to maintain our business. GREAT Job! and we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dinnerflight608Dined on 4/11/2014Went here for a second date, the atmosphere and food were perfect. We had an amazing time and were able to feel as though we were the only two people thereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a great mealEatieVIPDined on 3/30/2014The food here was very good. Excellent presentation and the flavors were all present. I hate eating bland food. This was not the case! I was really surprised because the name of the restaurant was kind of corny and I wasn't sure how the food would be but it was delicious. The wine was a bit pricy but overall I will definitely stop in here again if I am in the neighborhood.Special Features:
- has changed for the worsefechVIPDined on 3/28/2014Our all time favorite restaurant has changed for the worse with the change in management. The food was mediocre, the caesar salad which we love, was very soggy. I ordered the special rib eye and was so surprised at the way it appeared on the plate in small sliced up pieces. I thought I was going to get a full ribeye steak. The cut or the way it was cut made it appear and taste less than what I had hoped, such as all different heat consistency, some pieces were well done and others were medium rare when I asked for medium. the veal parmagiana and pasta was also smaller in size than in the past. Many of our friends that were repeat customers have also discussed the change and the disappointment in food portion and quality.

Some residents near the fires outside Lolo are moving back into their homes but officials say the blazes are likely to keep burning until "season-ending" weather comes.
According to a fire official on the Lolo Creek Fire, two crew members were injured over the weekend. One crew member suffered a respiratory issue due to asthma; the other crew member suffered from a broken arm. The crew member with the broken arm is from the Panhandle Hot Shot Team in Idaho.
Both firefighters are back in fire camp. The crew member with asthma is back on the fire working light duty.
Fire information officers Tom Kempton and Dellora Gauger say moisture will make the difference in the Lolo Creek and Gold Pan complexes burning in Montana and Idaho.
Cooler weather is forecast for next weekend, but there is no guarantee that a big rain or cold weather is imminent.
Residents west of Lolo are moving back and checking damage to their properties. U.S. Highway 12 has reopened after being closed last week.
The Lolo complex was 47 percent contained Monday after burning more than 17 square miles.
In the Bitterroot National Forest, the Gold Pan Complex is zero percent contained.

There is a grocery store in Chestnut Hill where employees in chef's hats slice cheeses and desserts, bake breads, roll sushi, serve up sandwiches, and make hot meals behind sparkling glass counters. Prices are fair and the aisles are immaculate.
This ideal market isn't a Whole Foods store or boutique neighborhood grocer. It's a Star Market, remodeled in a fashion that will be repeated at as many as 20 Shaw's and other Star Market stores in the next year, in an attempt to revive the struggling New England chains.

Tim Duncan played 24 minutes and Manu Ginobili played 17 in what was likely their final game before the regular season tips off next Wednesday night. Meanwhile Tony Parker looked on rather suavely from the bench in a jacket and expensive shirt. After the game Coach Pop was non-committal as to whether the three will play against Houston on Thursday, but my bet is they won't. That means 10 young, fresh-faced Spurs and Matt Bonner will be tasked with outdueling Dwight Howard and Harden's beard. Let's think good thoughts for them.
After a sluggish start, the Spurs dominated the Magic for three-and-a-half quarters and several young players saw significant time. Everyone's favorite Irish-Australian, Patty Mills, was the star of the night with 22 points in 23 minutes, including a fantastic five-point burst where he drained a three, stole the inbounds pass and made a lay-up among the trees.
Slainte on the barbie, young Patty Mills. Slainte.
Kawhi Leonard contributed 19 points and 5 rebounds in just under 21 minutes, but he's probably still young enough to be able to handle the pending epic preseason finale against the Rockets Thursday night. Marco Belinelli pitched in 16 points including a fantastic shot at the 10:00 mark of the 2nd quarter.
With a pump fake from the baseline, his defender jumped to block and Belinelli made a wild shot underneath him with legs flying and arms flailing and Spurs fans could almost see the bald spot starting to grow on the back of his head as the heir apparent to Manu.
As the final tune-up for the core group (excluding Parker of course) prior to the regular season tip-off next week, it was a fine effort.
Standard Pop Quote
You guys have a good weekend.
-Coach Pop, on a Tuesday night.
Game Boss
Patty Mills with 22 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists,5 steals and 2 blocks in 23 minutes. 2 blocks in case you missed that.
By The Numbers
- 0: Points by Boris Diaw in 17 minutes.
- 92: Percentage of otherwise normal people that lose their minds when the Coyote comes out with a T-shirt cannon.
- 0: Free throws made by Tiago Splitter, and also the number of times he levitated.
- 7: Number of times our waitress in the terrace apologized for messing something up. It's preseason for everybody, Leah. No worries. Keep working on your game.
Odds And Ends
- Even though Diaw went scoreless in 17 minutes I am still totally asking him to play on our neighborhood softball team. Boris Diaw in sweat pants and a beer in one hand playing rover in the outfield and smashing homers for my softball team? Let's make this happen.
- The Coyote hit James Silas' #13 jersey in the rafters with his T-shirt cannon. He's definitely in mid-season form.
- My assistant, Keith, told me a story about the stadium emcee that looks like a skinny Tony Parker. Skinny Tony worked at Sea World and always wanted to be a trainer, but could never pull the 100-pound weight* up from the bottom of the dolphin tank. He tried for years but could never pass that test to become a Sea World trainer. It was very frustrating but the story has a happy ending. Keith went back to Sea World after having been away for a decade and saw the skinny Tony Parker emcee, finally in a wet suit, triumphantly training the dolphins. It was like a scene from Men of Honor, he said. He had finally pulled that weight up from the bottom and achieved his dream of training dolphins and now he's entertaining thousands at the AT&T Center two or three nights a week.
* 100-pound weight is just an estimate.

Going forward, the Spurs need to...
...Continue to have success in the transition game. Lots of layups and easy buckets. Of course the competition will stiffen, but breakaway dunks and layups are easy money. Teach Danny Green and Jeff Ayres how to finish. The latter might be easier than the former, but seeing both would be real nice. Find some minutes for Mills. His energy and work on defense was great to see. I'll take 5 steals in 23 minutes every Tuesday please.

Corey Pronman on the USA U20 Camp
Shane McColgan, Right Wing, New York Rangers: McColgan was an early cut, but from what I saw of him in limited time, he showed spurts of top-end ability in his skating and puck skills. He's the kind of prospect who could go any which way in his development, but there's certainly the upside with McColgan to go way up. J.T. Miller, Center, New York Rangers: Miller played extremely well at the camp, and was the USA's best forward. His skating and overall speed looked above-average, he made some nice defensive plays, and his physical play was very good along the walls and when pressuring defenders on the forecheck. He also made a lot of above-average plays with the puck in regards to his puck-handling and distribution of the puck. Some NHL sources see top-end upside with Miller and while I'm not sure I would go that far, I think I may have to upgrade my projection of Miller as he certainly has top six skills. My main knocks on Miller have been his sense and decision-making, but at the camp both of those aspects actually looked above-average.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Let me see if I got this straight, concerning the new reservoir that "will be built" in Anderson.
Quinn Ricker, who is president of Ricker gas stations and owns half of all gas stations in Anderson, was the first to propose the idea of a reservoir. The political Republican machine started the propaganda to get the ball rolling. People of the business community and those of power joined the bandwagon. The owner of Mounds Mall is overly excited at a chance to sell the place, just as owners of other empty buildings are also glad to unload their investments to the taxpayers. I'm sure they will be well compensated as they are part of the business community.
The reservoir gets built. Now, the Ricker family will own the marinas on the reservoir. The price of gasoline at marinas is about twice the cost of gas on the street. The Rickers now have a playground for the family and the money keeps rolling in, "cha-ching, cha-ching."
I'm for the reservoir being built, as my daughter, her husband and my grandchild will benefit from it. I just like to tell the "rest of the story," as Paul Harvey would say. Have a good day.

Mike Newell in Premiere MagazineMovies
December 30, 2003, 10:56 AM
Page sent us this bit from Premiere's February 2004 issue, from a section called "Year of the Director." Mike Newell made the list. Quotage:
"The tricky thing [with Mona Lisa Smile] was making a Julia Roberts movie at the same time that you were making an ensemble movie. You have a story in which an inspirational teacher comes in and affects the lives of her students. Well, we've seen that one before. But in this story, the students have an equal and opposite effect on the inspirational teacher, so it's a two-way street."
On an unrelated note, thank you for all of the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful one, due in no small part to everyone who remembered. :)

Introduction to the projections
Fluctuation in the U.S. economy is nothing new.
When it comes to the things we produce and the work we perform, in fact, the one constant is change. The predominant
industries and occupations of the present—and the future—are
different from those of 100 years, 60 years, and even 10 years ago:
The pace of employment change is not always so dramatic, especially
in the shorter term. But because of the dynamic nature of the U.S.
economy, the speed of technological innovation, and the changing demands
for skills by employers, it is essential that the best and latest
information is made available to individuals who are making decisions
about education, training, and careers.

Though you can get all but two songs on Turn to Stone, I still suggest whoever's a Pentagram fan to buy this album for the two that's not on Turn to Stone. One thing I love about this album it's the kind you just want to crank the **** out of it.
5/5 for good guitar, bass, drums and vocals.
