Salinger, J.D. (Literary Masters)
J.D. Salinger
|Jerome David Salinger is born on 1 January in New York City to Sol Salinger and Miriam (née Grace) Jillich Salinger. His only sibling is a sister, Doris, eight years his senior.
|During the summer Salinger attends Camp Wigwam in Harrison, Maine, where his acting skills are acknowledged.
|The Salinger family moves to 1113 Park Avenue. Having attended public schools on the Upper West Side, Salinger is now enrolled in the McBurney School, a private high school on West Sixty-fourth Street. He writes for the school newspaper, manages the fencing team, and continues to act, playing female roles for which his performances are praised. Salinger's academic record is mediocre.
|After attending summer classes at the Manhasset School on Long Island in order to be eligible to return to McBurney, Salinger enrolls in Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania, where he has greater academic success. He is a member of the school's dramatic club, Mask and Spurs, and shows a growing interest in writing fiction, reportedly writing stories at night in bed with the aid of a flashlight.
|Salinger graduates from Valley Forge. In his senior year he is the literary editor of the yearbook, Crossed Sabres, in which appear a song for the graduating class to which he wrote the lyrics and his tribute to the founder of the school, Col. Milton S. Baker.
|Salinger matriculates at Washington Square College of New York University, but his academic experience there is unsatis-factory, and he attends no more than a year. At his father's suggestion, Salinger travels in the fall to Europe in order to improve his French and German and to learn more about his father's trade, the ham- and cheese-importing business. Salinger continues to write stories during his European trip and submits them to magazines in the United States, but none of them are accepted for publication.
|In the spring Salinger returns to America. He attends Ursinus College, a liberal-arts school in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, where he writes movie and theater reviews in a column titled "The Skipped Diploma" for The Ursinus Weekly, the college newspaper. Salinger stays no longer than one semester at Ursinus and returns to New York to live with his parents.
|Determined to focus his attention on writing, Salinger enrolls during the spring semester in a creative-writing class at Columbia University taught by Whit Burnett, the editor and cofounder of Story magazine.
|Salinger's first published story, "The Young Folks," appears in the March-April issue of Story. "Go See Eddie" is published in the University of Kansas City Review in December, after having been rejected by Esquire.
|Salinger is now being represented by a literary agent, Dorothy Olding, of the Harold Ober Agency. His stories appear for the first time in the "slicks," well-paying commercial magazines with wide circulation. "The Hang of It" is published in Collier's in July, and "The Heart of a Broken Story" appears in Esquire in September. The New Yorker accepts "Slight Rebellion Off Madison." It is Salinger's first story to be accepted by the magazine and the first to feature the character Holden Caulfield—later the protagonist of his novel, The Catcher in the Rye (1951)—but publication is delayed until 1946. Salinger volunteers for military service but receives a medical deferment because of a minor heart condition. He meets Oona O'Neill, the daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill, and carries on a romantic relationship with her until 1942. (Oona subsequently becomes involved with the actor Charlie Chaplin and marries him in June 1943.)
|Salinger is reclassified by the military and drafted into the army. He sells "Paula" to Stag, but the story is never published. "The Hang of It" is reprinted in The Kit Book for Soldiers, Sailors and Marines: Favorite Stories, Verses, and Cartoons for the Entertainment of Servicemen Everywhere, the first book publication of a Salinger story. On 27 April he reports to Fort Dix, New Jersey, and is assigned to duty with the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. He applies for admission to Army Officer Candidate School but is rejected and sent to the Army Air Force Basic Flying School in Bainbridge, Georgia, where he serves as an instructor of aviation cadets. "The Long Debut of Lois Taggett" is published in the September-October issue of Story, and "Personal Notes on an Infantryman" appears in the 12 December Collier's.
|In June, Salinger is transferred to Nashville, Tennessee, and promoted to the rank of staff sergeant. "The Varioni Brothers" is published in The Saturday Evening Post in July. Salinger is transferred to Patterson Field in Fairfield, Ohio, and performs public-relations work. He applies once more to Officer Candidate School but is again rejected. At the close of the year he is transferred to Fort Holabird, in Baltimore, Maryland, where he is trained as an agent in the Counter-intelligence Corps (CIC). Salinger's orders come through by October.
|The Saturday Evening Post publishes Salinger's "Both Parties Concerned" in February, "Soft-Boiled Sergeant" in April, and "The Last Day of the Last Furlough" in July. "Once a Week Won't Kill You" appears in the November-December issue of Story. In March, Salinger is in Tiverton, Devon, England, to receive counterintelligence training. In the invasion of Normandy on 6 June he lands with the Twelfth Infantry Regiment of the Fourth Infantry Division on Utah Beach and goes on to participate in five of the bloodiest campaigns of World War II. After the liberation of Paris in August, Salinger meets Ernest Hemingway.
|Salinger's "Elaine" is published in the March-April issue of Story. "A Boy in France" appears in The Saturday Evening Post in March and "This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise" in the October Esquire. In December Collier's publishes "The Stranger" and "I'm Crazy," which is Salinger's first published story to feature Holden Caulfield. Salinger is discharged from the army in November. He marries a Frenchwoman named Sylvia and remains in Europe after signing a six-month contract with the U.S. Department of Defense. His duties are unknown but are probably related to denazification.
|Salinger returns to the United States with his wife, but she remains only briefly. After returning to France, Sylvia files for a divorce. Salinger completes a ninety-page novelette about Holden Caulfield that is accepted for publication, but he with-draws it from consideration. He agrees to Burnett's request to publish a collection of his short stories, to be called The Young Folks. The book is supposed to be published by a Lippincott imprint, Story Press, but Lippincott rejects it. In December The New Yorker finally publishes "Slight Rebellion Off Madison."
|In January, Salinger moves from Manhattan to Tarry town in Westchester County, New York. "A Young Girl in 1941 with No Waist at All" is published in the May issue of Mademoiselle and "The Inverted Forest" in the December Cosmopolitan. Salinger moves to Stamford, Connecticut.
|Salinger's first story featuring the character Seymour Glass, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," is published in The New Yorker in January. It earns him a first-reading contract, the terms of which require him to submit his new work there first, and marks the beginning of a long association with the magazine. The New Yorker also publishes "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" in March and "Just Before the War with the Eskimos" in June. "A Girl I Knew" appears in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, and "Blue Melody" is published in the September Cosmopolitan.
|Salinger is living in Westport, Connecticut. The New Yorker publishes "The Laughing Man" in March, and "Down at the Dinghy" appears in the April issue of Harper's. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," "The Long Debut of Lois Taggett," "A Girl I Knew," and "Just Before the War with the Eskimos" are reprinted in various fiction anthologies. Salinger has his first meeting with an editor concerning the publication of The Catcher in the Rye. He gives a guest lecture at Sarah Lawrence College.
|On 21 January, Samuel Goldwyn Studios releases My Foolish Heart, a motion-picture adaptation of "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut." Salinger is appalled by the screenplay and the sentimentality of the movie. "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor" is published in The New Yorker in April and is reprinted in Prize Stories of 1950: The O. Henry Awards. Salinger studies Advaita Vedanta (a school of Hindu philosophy) in New York.
|In May, Salinger sails for England to meet with Hamish Hamilton, who is to publish the British edition of The Catcher in the Rye in August. Salinger tours literary sites, including the Lake District, where William Wordsworth lived. In July The New Yorker publishes "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes." The Catcher in the Rye is published in America by Little, Brown and Company on 16 July. It is a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, and Salinger gives an interview to author and New Yorker fiction editor William Maxwell for the Book-of-the-Month Club News. The novel reaches fourth place on the best-seller list of The New York Times. In December, Salinger attends the funeral of Harold Ross, the founding editor of The New Yorker.
|Salinger travels to Florida and Mexico. "De Daumier-Smith's Blue Period" is published in the May issue of the World Review in London, after having been rejected by The New Yorker. Salinger is named one of three distinguished alumni by Valley Forge Military Academy but does not attend the award ceremony.
|On New Year's Day, Salinger moves to Cornish, New Hamp-shire, where he has bought a ninety-acre plot of land and a small house on the property. "Teddy" is published in The New Yorker in January. Salinger meets Claire Douglas, a student at Radcliffe College and daughter of the British art critic Robert Langton Douglas. A collection of some of Salinger's short fiction, Nine Stories, is published by Little, Brown. It is published in England by Hamilton as For Esmé—with Love and Squalor, and Other Stories.
|In January the novella "Franny" is published in The New Yorker. Salinger and Claire are married on 17 February. Another novella, "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters," is published in The New Yorker in November. The Salingers' daughter, Margaret Ann (Peggy), is born on 10 December.
|The novella "Zooey" is published in The New Yorker in May.
|Salinger objects to the paperback edition of his story collection published in England by Harborough as For Esmé—with Love and Squalor because of the provocative cover illustration on the book. He severs his relationship with Hamilton. In the spring, while writing the novella "Seymour: An Introduction," Salinger leaves Cornish and family distractions for New York. "Seymour: An Introduction" is published in The New Yorker in June. In December, Salinger writes to the New York Post protesting a law barring prisoners with life sentences from seeking parole. He denies Burnett's request for permission to publish "The Young Man in the Stuffed Shirt" and "The Daughters of the Late Great Man" in Story, although he had earlier submitted them to Burnett for publication.
|The Salingers' son, Matthew Robert, is born on 13 February. In Cornish, Salinger resists reporters' repeated attempts to invade his private life.
|"Franny" and "Zooey" are published as Franny and Zooey by Little, Brown on 14 September. The book climbs onto the New York Times best-seller list, where it remains for six months and reaches number one.
|Salinger rejects Hamilton's advance and offer to publish Franny and Zooey in England and accepts a smaller advance from another British publisher, William Heinemann, who brings out the book in June.
|"Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters" and "Seymour: An Introduction" are published by Little, Brown as Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. Heine-mann publishes the book in England.
|Salinger rejects Burnett's request to include one of his stories in Story Jubilee, an anthology of early works by well-known writers that had originally been published in Story. Salinger writes an introduction for the anthology, but Burnett does not use it because it focuses on Burnett rather than the Story authors. "Hapworth 16, 1924" is published in The New Yorker in June.
|Salinger and Claire divorce.
|Salinger takes his children on a vacation to England and Scotland during the spring.
|Salinger rejects a request from Burnett to include one of his stories in another anthology, This Is My Best in the Third Quarter of the Century (1970).
|After reading a cover story in The New York Times Magazine and seeing a photograph of the author, an eighteen-year-old Yale University student named Joyce Maynard, Salinger writes her several letters. Maynard moves into his house, but the relationship lasts for less than one year.
|Salinger breaks his long-held public silence after learning that an unauthorized, two-volume edition of his uncollected stories is being sold in San Francisco. He calls Lacey Fosburgh, a San Francisco-based writer for The New York Times, and an FBI investigation into the matter of the pirated edition ensues, but the persons responsible for the books are never found.
|Salinger contributes an epilogue, "A Salute to Whit Burnett, 1899-1972," to Fiction Writer's Handbook, in which he praises his former teacher's ability to present writers' works to students without diminishing the value of the works.
|Salinger attends a school play at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire, in which his son, Matthew, performs.
|In July, Salinger travels by train to New York and makes a surprise appearance at a retirement dinner for an army colleague, John L. Keenan, who went on to serve as a chief of detectives in the New York Police Department.
|In June, Salinger meets with Betty Eppes, a reporter for the Baton Rouge Advocate, and responds briefly to her questions. Eppes's interview is published in The Advocate, The Boston Globe, and, during the following summer, The Paris Review.
|Salinger attends his daughter's graduation at Brandeis University.
|A suit filed on Salinger's behalf against booksellers who sold the unauthorized edition of his uncollected stories is settled in his favor. As biographer Ian Hamilton's "J. D. Salinger: A Writing Life" is about to go to press, Salinger seeks a preliminary injunction to block publication, arguing that he has not authorized Hamilton's use of quotations from his unpublished letters. In November, Judge Pierre N. Leval of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York rules against the injunction. In December, Salinger petitions the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
|Salinger's appeal of Leval's ruling is successful, and a preliminary injunction is granted. In September, Random House, Hamilton's publisher, petitions the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a review of the lower-court decision. In October the Supreme Court denies the petition.
|Hamilton's revised version of his biography, In Search of J. D. Salinger, is published.
|In October a fire destroys a major portion of Salinger's house in Cornish. By this time he is married to a nurse named Colleen O'Neill.
|At a Sotheby's auction in June, Maynard sells fourteen letters written to her by Salinger between 25 April 1972 and 17 August 1973. Computer software entrepreneur and art collector Peter Norton buys the letters for $156,500. Respecting Salinger's privacy, Norton says that he will do with the letters whatever Salinger wishes—return them or destroy them. Salinger makes no public comment.
|Salinger's daughter, Margaret, publishes Dream Catcher: A Memoir, providing an account of her family life and her relationship with her father.

Salinger at Work
In an author's note for the publication of his story "Down at the Dinghy" in Harper's in 1949, Salinger said, "I just started to write when I was eighteen or so and never stopped."1 He took the most important step in his literary career when he was twenty and enrolled in Whit Burnett's story-writing course at Columbia University in the spring of 1939. Salinger...

Salinger's Era
During the first ten years of Salinger's life as a child and schoolboy in New York, the American economy was enjoying a bull market that seemed to many as if it would have no end. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925) Jay Gatsby's houseguest...

(The entire section is 33860 words.)
Salinger on Salinger
Salinger has refused to admit visitors to his grounds and home in Cornish, New Hampshire, and he has denied nearly all requests for interviews. Rarely has he answered letters or responded to inquiries of any kind. Furthermore, he has steadfastly prevented publication of his letters, always one of the best sources of information about any public figure. So extreme has Salinger been in observing a vow of silence with respect to his personal life that shortly after the publication of The Catcher in the Rye, he began rejecting even his publisher's requests for biographical material to be used in the promotion of his work. Those who have sought facts about Salinger or his opinions concerning his life and writing...

Salinger as Studied
MARK TWAIN (1835-1910): Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), like The Catcher in the Rye, features a first-person narrator who speaks with a distinct voice in the American idiom. Both novels follow in the tradition of the quest narrative and provide strong criticism of American society. Alienated from their societies, Huck and Holden retain moral purity while affirming goodness and opposing whatever demeans other human beings. Both books present social indictments and attack hypocrisy and pretentiousness. Perhaps one of the most interesting comparisons between Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The...
(The entire section is 1601 words.)
Study Questions
- Critics in the 1950s and 1960s frequently compared Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye with Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, arguing that both novels were in the tradition of the quest narrative. In what way is Holden Caulfield's journey a quest? What has he been seeking, and what have been the results of that search?
- In "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor" the narrator points out that the first part of the story is about love and the second part about squalor. Why does the narrator shift from a first-person to a third-person point of view and refer to himself as Sergeant X in the squalor part of the story?
- Critics have noted that the last two...

Deadlift specialist, Brent Howard has studied the routines and solicited input from some of the best deadlifters and deadlift technicians in the world. He outlines a deadlift routine designed to dramatically increase your pull!
The All-World Deadlift Program
AtLarge Nutrition Supplements Get the best supplements and help support Wannabebig!
Hypertrophy Cluster Training - HCT-12 - If you want big gains in size and strength, huge decreases in body fat, or both - check out HCT-12.
Can I have some lean muscle & strength please? My Training Journal
...Does it has something to do with westside? If it doesn't, what's the point of even reading it? lol...
Sorry. I'm such a westside freak.
Addressed to SGT ROCK or whoever, I love too deadlift and so I was excited too read about the deadlift program but I have a few questions? Is this program appropriate for a strictly raw lifter? On speed days are we suppose to just follow a three week WBB wave, and do we do speed squats and deads? Also because were doing alot of back work on deadlift day, should we lay off of back work on upper body day or just take it lightly? Thanks Derek
read it, not bad but nothing special...

thanks for good read.
nice share. I was looking for something on deadlifts.
that seems like a lot of volume on the back work, has anyone tried this?
To answer a bunch of other inquiries in one shot here, my most recent contest was WABDL worlds where I went 3 for 3 with a 755 pull at 234bw to win the open 242 class (the gent in 2nd did 751 so I took what I needed to win). I pulled a solid 775 in training for that show. I did a version of that routine for the worlds, very similar but had to make adjustments to train around a few injuries and to try out a DL suit I had not yet worn in a contest (Velocity). I have been modifying that routine and am still using a similar routine now to peak for my next contest. The basics of the routine are to mix it up and work your weaknesses. It is easy to train your strengths, but often hard to grind out work that will take care of your weaknesses.

John McCririck insists he played 'pantomime villain' at tribunal
Racing pundit John McCririck said he had been encouraged to play the part of the "pantomime villain" on screen and portrayed himself as a crusader against "age discrimination" on the first day of his employment tribunal.
The 73-year-old is taking former employer Channel 4 and TV production company IMG Media Limited to the tribunal, alleging that he had lost his job purely based on his age.
McCririck - known for his bling jewellery, sideburns and deerstalker hat - was dropped when the station unveiled a new presenting team headed by Clare Balding.
The case started today but was adjourned until tomorrow morning while its panel of judges reads witness statements and watches clips of McCririck's appearances on television.
ITV News correspondent Sejal Karia reports:
McCririck said the loss of his job had left him depressed and reduced to watching daytime TV, adding: "I have worked all my life, I have never missed a day's work, I have never been late, I live to work."
Speaking after this morning's brief hearing, McCririck said he had been the victim of age discrimination
– John McCririck
It's an age thing, they use the word 'freshen up'. Freshen up is a euphemism for kicking out older people.
People in their 30s onwards live in fear in this country that the new suits and skirts will come in and just go for new and trendy. It's totally wrong.
I am saying it's not an unstoppable fetish. If this tribunal gives punitive, exemplary damages then no employer would ever dare sack somebody because of their age.
This tribunal, if they act decisively, could end age discrimination.
Mr McCririck also insisted he was not "anti-women" and that his apparent sexism was part of a pantomime role he claimed had been encouraged, especially on reality TV shows like Celebrity Wife Swap and Celebrity Big Brother.
"Because Captain Hook is horrible to Peter Pan and kids in Peter Pan, it doesn't mean the actor playing him goes around abusing kids in the street," he said.
"All this is a pantomime villain thing that Channel 4 encouraged."
A Channel 4 spokesman said:
– channel 4 spokesman
We are grateful to John McCririck for his contribution towards Channel 4 Racing over many years.
However we reject the suggestion that discrimination on the basis of age played any part in the decision not to include John in the Channel 4 Racing team from 2013 and we are vigorously defending this claim.
The tribunal will reconvene at 10am tomorrow.

Carbondale Police say a murder suspect they have been searching for has been found in Arkansas.
Kely Yajid Valentino Arbuckle was arrested Friday in St. Francis County, Arkansas on the outstanding Jackson County warrant charging him with first degree murder.
Police say his capture was a result of the investigative work conducted by the City of Carbondale Police Department, with assistance from the United States Marshal Service, Arkansas State Police, and the St. Francis County, Arkansas Sheriff's Office and the Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force.
Carbondale Deputy Chief Stan Reno says Arbuckle was an acquaintance of the victim, Toren Stanley, 20, of Marion.
Police were notified of the crime when Stanley was being treated at a local hospital for a gunshot wound March 9 in Carbondale.

The Jasper County Coroner has released the names of two women killed in a head-on collision Wednesday on US 17 near the Back River Bridge.
Tonya Bergelt, 35, of Bluffton, and Rebecca Pirkle, 32, of Savannah, died in the wreck that occurred at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday on the other side of the Talmadge Bridge, less than half-mile north of the Back River Bridge. The road was closed for more than three hours but has since reopened.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol said Tonya Bergelt was driving a white Lincoln heading northbound when she swerved into the southbound lane, striking gray sedan head-on driven by Pirkle. She is originally from Alabama and recently moved to Garden City.
Firefighters had to extricate both women from their vehicles.
Pirkle was declared dead at the scene. Bergelt was airlifted to Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah where she later died.

The 'Gurge, Meanies And More To Perform Benefit For Blackie
As you may have heard, Hard-Ons legend Peter Black was recently bashed by a (since-apprehended) pair of teenagers, leaving Blackie with a skull fracture and swelling of the brain.
After a planned Sydney Hard-Ons show turned into a benefit for Blackie, a massive roster of talent will take to The Tote to pass the hat around for the much-adored musical figure. And when we say a massive roster of talent, we mean a massive roster of talent.
Hitting The Tote for Blackie will be Regurgitator, The Meanies, The Spazzys, Dead and Bat Piss.
And if that epic lineup isn't enough to get you down to The Tote, keep in mind all proceeds from the evening will go towards Blackie.
Benefit For Blackie takes place at The Tote on Saturday June 9. Tickets available at Oztix from Monday May 28.

[FONT=Verdana]Recently the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) Battle group put on a spectacular display as a demonstration of its capability followed by a static display which was well attended by the local population.
The display began with the securing of a landing zone for Kiwi Helicopters which inserted a section of infantry that married up with a troop of APCs. Once this exercise was completed all the vehicles lined up on a soccer field on the outskirts of Dili and set up a static display which was surrounded by curious children, teenagers and adults.

Canon to begin acquisition of the ".canon" Top-Level Domain name
TOKYO, March 16, 2010—Canon Inc. announced today that it will begin the acquisition process for the top-level domain name ".canon," based on the new generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) registration system.
The non-profit organization ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), which maintains and regulates the Internet's addressing system, has rigorously evaluated the current gTLD string of characters' societal value, utilization purpose, and use in an organization's operations. At its International Public Meeting held in June 2008, however, ICANN approved the relaxation and liberalization of the new gTLD system adoption rules. Following this meeting, a number of disputes arose surrounding whether the entry procedures were fair and adequate, and it was expected that the new gTLD system would commence registration application within 2010 at the earliest. The new gTLD system is expected to allow a company name, brand name, geographic region, or service type to be used as a gTLD within website and e-mail addresses.
Along with its expanding global business activities, Canon will continue to provide online information and services to its users, consumers, and other stakeholders, across the world's countries and regions. With the adoption of the new gTLD system, which enables the direct utilization of the Canon brand, Canon hopes to globally integrate open communication policies that are intuitive and easier to remember compared with existing domain names such as "canon.com." Canon has made the official decision to begin necessary procedures to acquire ".canon" upon the introduction of the new system. Following approval for the new gTLD system, which is expected to take place after the latter half of 2011, Canon will make full use of the new domain name to increase the convenience and effectiveness of its online communications.
About Top Level Domain (TLD) and gTLD
A Top Level Domain is the string of characters located in the right-most side of a domain name, and represents the "source" within the hierarchal structure of a domain name. There are two types of TLDs: gTLD (generic Top Level Domain), based on usage application or sector, such as ".com," and ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain), based on country or region, such as ".jp."

No Tool will Solve the OutOfMemoryError
tl;dr; No tools out there will really help you to solve the leak. At best you get a lot of data. But no solution.
What we discovered was that none of the existing tools does precisely what one might expect them to do – you get vast amount of data but only seldom an actual solution to your problem. Whether you use a memory profiler, a heap dump analyzer or an APM solution – you need to be both lucky and a performance expert to get useful data and be able to interpret it.
We have tried seven different tools over the course of the series: three memory profilers, two command line tools bundled with the JDK, a heap dump analyzer and an APM solution. Even getting our hands on some of them was not an easy quest. From five APM products in our list we were able to get only one in our labs, and that took us a week! Kudos AppDynamics, you are not afraid to show your product. But the rest of you guys out there – why do I end up in your sales dept if I just want to evaluate your product. Like, really?
Installing all those tools was somewhat easier. "Only" two of them required more than four hours to get them up and running. Again – guys – what are you thinking? Why do I have to go through all this mess to get things up and running?
Still, completing these tasks was often the only reason to rejoice. From the seven tools we tested only one (one!), gave us adequate information on how to solve the leak. With the others we had a variance of results:
- crashes, sometimes together with the application;
- tons of flickering dashboards, graphics, buttons, bells and whistles, but no answer;
- console full of cryptic text and java class names;
- … or application adapted for snails and turtles, with response times increased 5-350 times.
I do agree that if you have solved hundred memory leaks in your life prior to the one currently at hand then you do stand a chance. But Kirk Pepperdine aside, how many developers actually stand a chance of noticing the patterns in something that looks like a complete gibberish?
All that proves that when a year ago we decided to bring our own memory leak detector to the market, with the aim to shedding some light into this shadowy valley of misery and despair, our assessment of the current situation was correct. Now, when Plumbr has detected 300+ memory leaks for our customers already, it seems that the dawn is coming.

It is our opition, that profilers give you a lot of information and insights into your running code. Top consumers, heap usage dynamics, that kind of stuff. Using all this information and your knowledge of the application you can make some guesses as to what is the source of the problem. Then you need to confirm those guesses and fix the problem.
In Plumbr it is our aim to give the exact answer: what objects are leaking, where they were created and where do they reside in memory now.

Hi. My team wrote a book about Java Enterprise Performance with one chapter on Memory Management. You may want to check it out. It covers topics such as "how the different JVMs and GCs work", "Tuning GCs", "Root cause of High Memory Utilization", "Classloader related memory issues", ... - start reading the full book here: Java Enterprise Performance

We have the lowest unemployment rate in the country. And state leaders want to attract even more people to fill all the positions still available.
The North Dakota Economic Development Foundation is working with the state to start a new campaign which they plan to use to target people in other states to let them know why they should come here to work and raise a family.Just a quick drive around town and you will likely see several help wanted signs. And a new public-private partnership hopes to target people around the country to move here and fill those positions.
"The message is, there's opportunity here," says Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley. "It's waiting for you and your family in the background and the skills and the expertise that you have. And when you get here you're going to find a quality of life, quality of opportunity, safe streets to live in. You're going to find a place that you can call home."The campaign will target people in several states. Possibly by using a series of television ads, but mostly by using digital media."What we want to do is collectively go together on some of these things and build a recruiting network, not just everybody recruiting on their own," says Wally Goulet of the North Dakota Economic Development. "But we'll go into another state, or we'll go into a base situation and bring all of these forces together rather than everybody doing it on their own."Hess Corporation has contributed $400,000 to help get the campaign started and the state has agreed to contribute an additional $400,000 from the Commerce Departments budget. But of course attempting to fill an estimated 76,000 jobs by 2020, with new residents, will put some strain on an already strained housing market. "Our economy is up to the challenge and we're meeting that. But we all know that we're having some growing pains while were doing that. This is one of those growing pain issues. But we certainly intend to have housing starts, apartments, things like that for this workforce, we have to," says Goulet. They hope to launch the Find the Good Life in North Dakota website in May.
The website will target individuals looking for positions in a variety of industries including engineering, healthcare, energy, transportation and information technology.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria City Councilman Gary Sandberg is appealing the decision of the Peoria Elections Commission that removed him from running in the First District.
The Commission ruled against Sandberg citing a section of the Illinois Municipal Code which requires an "Alderman" to live in his "ward" for a year before running for office.
But Attorney Robert Hanauer argued in his appeal that the Commission was looking at the wrong section of the municipal code.
Hanauer said the proper section concerning council/manager city governments only requires residency in the municipality for a year.
The civil lawsuit seeks to prevent the printing of city election ballots until after a judge's ruling is made.
A hearing is expected within 30 days.

Colts' success in recent drafts shows Vikings therColts coach Jim Caldwell said the credit for those picks goes to the front office, led by President Bill Polian, general manager Chris Polian and director of player personnel Tom Telesco. Caldwell is amazed by the research and knowledge they gather, which he says negates the disadvantage of picking late.
"It's uncanny just in terms of what they can predict, what they know," Caldwell said in March at the NFL owners meetings. "The big thing that I notice is that they have a real good sense of what everyone else's needs are. Those guys have a great sense. There may be a guy on the board that I'm looking at and Bill will say, 'They're not going to take him. He doesn't fit what they're looking for.' Not only do they know the schemes but they also know the people involved. That, to me, is unbelievable."
"You try to cover every single scenario, and I think we do," Caldwell said, adding that the front office narrows the number of players the Colts will have a chance to select. That allows the team to focus on a select group of players and put them in a pecking order so the Colts will be prepared when they make their selection.
"Through experience, through knowledge, through understanding exactly what everyone else is doing in terms of their needs, there are very few surprises that happen to us on draft day," Caldwell said.
The key to any draft is preparation, according to Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who was known for his wise personnel moves while in charge of the New England Patriots for most of the past decade.
The Colts FO pukes must be using my mock drafts to guess at what other teams needs are.
On a side note, maybe this isn't as much of a gamble as some believe.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

I'm a Wizards fan, so I've spent much of the past year venting about how general manager Ernie Grunfeld has mismanaged my favorite team. The latest example is not re-signing D-Leaguer Alonzo Gee, a diamond in the rough that seemingly got away due to a lack of preparation on Grunfeld's part. Grunfeld could have had him easily, but fell asleep at the wheel and didn't display enough urgency to lock him up before the Spurs swooped in.
As mistakes go, I'd put that one at the top, even if it's just Alonzo Gee. Grunfeld lost him because he wasn't prepared, and there's no greater sin in sports management than not being prepared. But then I thought back to something Grunfeld said on Saturday in a hastily-called press conference before the Wizards' game against the Utah Jazz.
"I think I'm pretty good at what I do. I have a pretty good track record and we'll see when new ownership takes over what happens," Grunfeld said. "I think we've done a pretty good job here, and if you look at the other places I've been, I've rebuilt several teams, many times over. So I'm confident in my abilities. It's a good challenge and I'm looking forward to it."
Now, Grunfeld is not going to say he's not good at his job, but he's also completed one of the worst 12-month stretches of any general manager in NBA history. And yet ... he's right in one area: he does have a decent "track record" of success. A Knicks team he mostly constructed made the NBA Finals in 1999, and the Bucks went to the Eastern Conference Finals under his watch. He also did have some success with the Wizards before injuries and everything fell apart. All this despite overpaying free agents everywhere he's been, neglecting the draft and leaving all three times in shambles because the overpaid core he built stagnated.
The question then is, how important is management anyway? Does good management spur a team to contention, or does a team contend and thereby make management look better? Right now, the two best teams in the East are managed by men who dramatically overpaid Larry Hughes and Rashard Lewis, respectively, while some of the dregs of the league are managed by highly successful people like Joe Dumars, Geoff Petrie and Rod Thorn. Danny Ferry and Otis Smith have made good moves, sure, but they've also made bad ones (Smith trading away Trevor Ariza, Ferry with his disastrous 2005 summer shopping spree) and have been saved by having LeBron James and Dwight Howard on their teams. Meanwhile, as bad as Grunfeld, Dumars, Petrie and Thorn have been recently, they've also never had that great superstar to build around (no, Patrick Ewing in his mid-30s doesn't count). That's one thing Andrew Sharp's compelling piece on who deserves max money ignores: it's not like GMs can pick a max player from an assembly line. Sometimes you have to overpay the 15th-best player in the league and do what you can to make it work.
At the same time, great management can make a major difference when you don't have that once-in-a-generation player. Kevin Pritchard, for example, made several shrewd moves to end up with Brandon Roy and keeps hitting on his draft picks (with the notable exception of Greg Oden). Sam Presti lucked into Kevin Durant, but also cleverly used his cap space to add more young pieces to surround him. Donnie Nelson in Dallas has extended his team's window to over a decade despite having Dirk Nowitzki, a talented but flawed player, as his best guy. Mark Warkentien has kept Denver in contention despite inheriting a terrible cap situation. John Hammond has found perfect guys to fit Scott Skiles' system in Milwaukee and made two great decisions to keep Andrew Bogut and draft Brandon Jennings. It's safe to say that none of those teams would be where they are right now without good management, and none has that once-in-a-generation player.
So I guess the answer to the fundamental question is ... well, I don't know. This is where you, the reader, jump in and give your thoughts. About the only thing we can say for sure is that Ernie Grunfeld isn't winning any titles as Washington's general manager in the near future.

That's right, we have a new team at the bottom of these rankings. That's what happens when you lose 16 in a row down the stretch after losing 15 in a row at the beginning of the season.
Also, with nothing else to be proud of, the Wolves are unveiling a campaign to name Corey Brewer as the league's Most Improved Player. Supposedly, they're going to try to emphasize Brewer's improvement as a shooter, because anytime you go from historically bad to merely below-average, you deserve the most improved player award. #wordaapp

28. New Jersey Nets: 10-65 overall, 3-1 last week
SBN Blog: NetsDaily
Last week: 30.
Congratulations are in order for the Nets winning their tenth game last night in San Antonio and avoiding being the worst team of all time. I know it's a silly thing to cheer for, but you have to applaud the team for never giving up. They showed some really nice signs in the second half of the year, and it all paid off this week with three very solid wins. Now, they can focus on all the good things going for them: young talent, oodles of cap space, a crazy owner that has deep, deep pockets and potentially the number one pick in the draft. Yes, things are looking up in New Jersey, and not a moment too soon.
27. Detroit Pistons: 23-50 overall, 0-3 last week.
SBN Blog: Detroit Bad Boys.
Last week: 26.
On the other hand, the Pistons might have the most depressing situation of anyone in the bottom 10. They don't have cap space like the Nets, Timberwolves, Wizards, Kings, Clippers or Knicks. Their young talent is essentially Rodney Stuckey and Jonas Jerebko, which doesn't compare to Golden State, Sacramento, New Jersey, Philadelphia or even Minnesota. They don't have a player as good as Andre Iguodala, Monta Ellis, Tyreke Evans, Danny Granger or even Blake Griffin (assuming he recovers), and they also have a pretty bad fan situation thanks to the way the surrounding area has been hit by the recession. It's really too bad, because Detroit really has a great tradition and some great diehard fans that really understand the game. Here's hoping they figure a way out of this.
26. Golden State Warriors: 21-52 overall, 2-1 last week.
SBN Blog: Golden State of Mind
Last week: 28.
The Warriors have found a diamond in the rough in D-League callup Reggie Williams, which is key because the organization is too cheap to spend money on anyone else. (Just kidding, but not really). Just check out his numbers, which are really quite good for someone who was on nobody's radar entering the season. His performance has convinced Warriors fans to start talking about where he fits into the teams' future plans. Can the Warriors survive with him at point guard? Do they even need John Wall? Is this conversation worth having?
Is he better than Stephen Curry at making cakes?
25. Sacramento Kings: 24-50 overall, 0-3 last week
SBN Blog: Sactown Royalty
Last week: 24.
The list of walking wounded grows, to the point where Beno Udrih had to play basically the entire game against the Cavaliers on Sunday because he's the only healthy point guard on the team. If there is ever a legitimate push by teams to shorten the regular season, I'd think the Kings would be leading it.
24. Los Angeles Clippers: 27-46 overall, 1-2 last week.
SBN Blog: Clips Nation.
Last week: 23.
Before the season, I thought the Clippers could make the playoffs. I looked at the names of the players rather than the name of the franchise. Next year, I'll probably fall into the same trap and forget that there's a reason this organization hasn't done anything over the past 25 years. Sometimes, you can't escape your history.
23. New York Knicks: 26-47 overall, 1-2 last week.
SBN Blog: Posting and Toasting
Last week: 21.
Longtime Knicks legend and broadcaster Walt "Clyde" Frazier turned 65 this week, so we'll use this space to wish him a happy birthday. In honor of Clyde, let's just say I'm zipping and slipping past this spot in the Power Rankings to write about other teams.
22. Philadelphia 76ers: 26-47 overall, 2-0 last week.
SBN Blog: Liberty Ballers
Last week: 25.
The 76ers didn't lose this week, which is something that hasn't happened all season. And yet, they have to deal with the legendary hitman known as "Western Conference Scout" bashing their team.
"They are having dunk contests before games; they are running plays sloppily or not all the way through; and they aren't listening to (coach) Eddie Jordan. They have quit. They know Eddie is gone (after the season) and they think they don't have to listen anymore. The thing is, they are making themselves look like a-------. These guys think that just because Eddie is gone they will be back (next year). But nobody wants guys who give up when things go bad. Eddie's offense was a bad fit for this roster - they have to find a way to play more up-tempo - but these guys are embarrassing themselves. And everyone around the league knows it."
Ooooh, burn!
21. Indiana Pacers: 27-47 overall, 3-1 last week
SBN Blog: Indy Cornrows
Last week: 22.
The Pacers apparently remembered that they're best known for winning 30-35 games every year and never getting anywhere past mediocrity, because they just won five pointless games in a row before falling to Atlanta on Sunday. Oops.
On the bright side, Danny Granger has been unbelievable recently, playing like the all-star he was last year. And for that, he can thank ... an elbow to the face?
The secret to Danny Granger's recent success just might've been that elbow to the face in the final minute of the Charlotte game on March 16. Granger missed the next outing, a five-point loss in Cleveland and ever since he returned has been ablaze.
In the six games since bonk to the noggin, Granger has averaged 31.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.83 steals, shooting .529 from the field and .452 from the 3-point line. This, of course, includes his career-high 44-point outing against Utah Friday.
"Everybody keeps telling me that," said Granger. "Maybe something got knocked right in my head that was wrong before. For the most part since I got that blow to the head, spent the night in the hospital and then I get hot. I don't know. I can't figure it out."
In his 10 previous games, Granger had averaged 23.7 points on .425 shooting.
Maybe the elbow to the face got Granger going, but it also might have downgraded the Pacers' draft pick from Derrick Favors to Cole Aldrich. Maybe it wasn't worth it.
20. New Orleans Hornets: 35-40 overall, 1-2 last week.
SBN Blog: At the Hive
Last week: 19.
The 2010 draft class could be historically deep, if only because so many underclassmen are going to declare early instead of waiting for 2011, when a lockout might be on the horizon. And yet, the Hornets might not be able to take part. They're going to be way over the luxury tax in 2010/11, meaning they need to do some serious salary dumping. Considering they have tons of really bad contracts, they might have to give away their lottery pick to convince a team to take on that bad contract.
They might not, of course, but don't be surprised to see it happen.

SBN Blog: Raptors HQ
Last week: 18.
Can we just give Cleveland a bye into the second round of the NBA playoffs? It's depressing to watch both these teams right now, yet one of them will make the NBA Playoffs instead of the up-and-coming Grizzlies. At the very least, we can accelerate all the speculation about what happens to Chris Bosh this summer.
(Oh wait, nevermind, we're already speculating. I forgot that discussions about the Summer of 2010 are special in that they can take place anytime).
17. Houston Rockets: 36-36 overall, 0-3 last week
SBN Blog: The Dream Shake
Last week: 16.
The Summer of 2010 drug is so dangerous that it may have even infected Yao Ming. Yes, the same Yao Ming that hasn't played since last May due to another debilitating foot injury.
Apparently, Yao still hasn't ruled out opting out of his contract and becoming a free agent this summer. Yes, really.
Though it has long been assumed Rockets center Yao Ming's foot injury and extensive surgery would prevent him from opting out of his contract after this season, Yao said Saturday he was "not sure" if the uncertainty with the NBA's labor negotiations would lead him to become a free agent this summer.
Wrong answer, beep. Yao, nobody's going to sign you to a big contract because you haven't proven you can stay healthy. Sorry, but it's the truth. I don't care how many free throws you can shoot.
Although it is true that the Wizards have cap room...
16. Memphis Grizzlies: 38-35 overall, 0-2 last week
SBN Blog: Straight Outta Vancouver
Last week: 15.
For argument's sake, let's assume the NBA scrapped conferences and just gave the 16 best teams playoff berths, regardless of record. Here would be our matchups if the season ended today:
1. Cleveland vs. 16. Charlotte
2. LA Lakers vs. 15. Memphis
3. Orlando vs. 14. Miami
4. Dallas vs. 13. Milwaukee
5. Utah vs. 12. San Antonio
6. Boston vs. 11. Portland
7. Atlanta vs. 10. Oklahoma City
8. Denver vs. 9. Phoenix
Hmm ... now we have some interesting playoff series! Especially at the top. The Grizzlies have given the Lakers problems this year, playing them tight, particularly in Memphis. They have the frontcourt strength to bother the Lakers, and while Kobe Bryant would probably go off, O.J. Mayo can be a great defender when motivated. It would definitely be a great series, no doubt about it. This would also allow Charlotte to slide down to play a Cleveland team they've beaten three times, meaning the Cavs won't get the walkover they'd get from facing Toronto or Chicago in the first round. Suddenly, those two series become really, really interesting.
Alas, Memphis will have to settle for showing signs of progress. Oh well.
15. Charlotte Bobcats: 38-35 overall, 3-1 last week.
SBN Blog: Rufus on Fire
Last week: 14.
The Bobcats are about to make the playoffs with Theo Ratliff as their starting center. I don't know whether this means I should praise Larry Brown or bash the rest of the East for being really, really bad.
14. Miami Heat: 40-34 overall, 3-0 last week.
SBN Blog: Peninsula is Mightier
Last week: 14.
Five wins in a row for the Heat, which shows they could be a tough out in the playoffs if only because they play their game and squeeze the most out of their talent. I know I keep harping on that point, but it's true - on paper, they should not be a playoff team. Better yet, Miami's winning against teams right in their tier, with victories over Chicago, Milwaukee and Toronto this week. They won blowouts, and they won close games, so they're capable of playing any sort of game. Could they beat Atlanta or Boston in the playoffs? I don't think it's out of the question.
13. Milwaukee Bucks: 40-32 overall, 1-2 last week.
SBN Blog: Brew Hoop
Last week: 10.
It took a couple injuries to throw the Bucks off their rhythm, but they went right back to their winning ways in defeating the Grizzlies in overtime on Sunday. I would be shocked if they dropped out of the fifth spot.
Also, it's good to hear that Carlos Delfino will likely recover from this terrible injury (fast forward to the 1:10 mark). I'm honestly surprised that we don't see more people accidentally stepping on players on the floor when trying to grab a rebound.
12. San Antonio Spurs: 44-29 overall, 2-2 last week
SBN Blog: Pounding the Rock.
Last week: 11.
The Spurs seem content to make their point when needed and rest their players otherwise. One night after emphatically blowing out the Celtics in Boston, the Spurs held Manu Ginobili out against the Nets with some phantom injury. I'm saying "phantom injury" because Ginobili looked just fine doing this against the Celtics the night before.
I guess I see the logic in making sure your team is fully healthy for the playoffs, but if you're San Antonio, would you rather face a team like Dallas or Utah, or the Lakers? The choice seems pretty easy, which is why I'm confused about the Spurs giving up games in the race to get out of the eighth spot. After the Lakers, it's a pretty big free-for-all in the West. Why not give yourself a better chance at advancing in the playoffs?
11. Oklahoma City Thunder: 44-28 overall, 2-1 last week
SBN Blog: Welcome To Loud City
Last week: 12.
Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers was the second one in about a week where the Thunder were outsmarted in a close game at home by a more veteran team. It happened against the Spurs on March 22, and it happened again against a Blazers team led by Andre Miller and Marcus Camby. Now, close games are essentially coin flips, and it could just be that the coin came up on tails twice in a row. However, there's also some skill involved, and it's concerning that the young Thunder can't finish off the teams they're competing with for playoff positioning in key late-season home games.
Is this a product of being a young team? Perhaps. The Thunder's execution on Kevin Durant's last-second three-point miss against Portland was pretty bad, and it's not the first time they've struggled to run a late-game play properly. As defenses tighten up in the playoffs, offensive execution matters even more. The Thunder will have to improve their late-game execution to get anything done come playoff time.
10. Portland Trail Blazers: 45-29 overall, 3-0 last week.
SBN Blog: Blazers Edge
Last week: 13.
On the flip side, the Blazers are a team that executes what they need to execute extremely well. Thank Andre Miller for that. The veteran point guard has ultimately become everything the Blazers hoped he would be when they signed him last summer. They desperately wanted someone who could execute in the half-court and take pressure off Brandon Roy, and Miller has become exactly that. It's why I think Portland might be the most dangerous of the lower-seeded Western Conference playoff teams.
9. Denver Nuggets: 48-27 overall, 1-4 last week.
SBN Blog: Denver Stiffs.
Last week: 4.
Denver misses Kenyon Martin and George Karl badly. If they don't get them back soon, their title hopes are done. Simple as that.
8. Atlanta Hawks: 47-26 overall, 2-1 last week.
SBN Blog: Peachtree Hoops.
Last week: 9.
Josh Smith. Game-winning putback dunk. That's all that needs to be said.
7. Boston Celtics: 47-26 overall, 2-1 last week.
SBN Blog: Celtics Blog.
Last week: 6.
The Celtics were playing really, really well until they got blown out at home by the Spurs on Sunday. Just when we thought they were rounding into shape, they took a giant step back.
How giant? Well, Jeff Clark of Celtics Blog sums it up pretty well.
Bad habits are sometimes hard to break. I was hoping that this team had put the habits they formed in that 18 - 19 bad run of the season behind them. Not so much. They showed up again tonight. Slow rotations. Lack of hustle to loose balls. Poor rebounding. Lack of offensive flow.
Now, I don't want to overreact too much to one game. If you put this game into the context of the last 10 and you could make the case that these things happen from time to time. The troubling thing is that it reminds us too much of what we've seen way too often this year since Christmas.
The Spurs are a solid, veteran team and Ginobili is healthy again and looking great. But this Celtics team is good enough to beat anyone and simply didn't bring it tonight. I'd like to see how they respond in the next game, but it is safe to say that this game is concerning.
Then again, what are the Celtics really playing for at this point? They clearly don't need home court advantage, judging from their struggles at home this year. There really isn't too much of a difference between getting the three seed (facing Miami) and getting the four seed (facing Milwaukee). They probably match up better to Orlando than Cleveland, but they certainly have a better shot of beating either of those teams than Atlanta. So really, what's the point of charging hard into the playoffs? There isn't one, really.
6. Phoenix Suns: 47-26 overall, 2-0 last week
SBN Blog: Bright Side of the Sun.
Last week: 7.
Seven in a row for the Suns, who keep sneaking up the Western Conference playoff ladder. There's a tendency to look at them and wonder how they're doing it, but they're still doing it, so perhaps you're looking in all the wrong places.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, Amare Stoudemire thinks you're "retarded" if you think his recent surge is just a contract year push. Obviously, his choice of words was wrong, but he does have a point. He made an even bigger surge in the second half of the 2007/08 season, and he wasn't playing for a new contract then. I don't see this year's surge as a contract year push either, unless you want to say he was distracted by all the trade rumors before the break and now isn't.
(And ohbytheway, another day, another ho-hum posterization by Amare).
5. Utah Jazz: 49-26 overall, 3-1 last week.
SBN Blog: SLC Dunk
Last week: 5.
Utah's place in this hierarchy is tricky, if only because they have achieved more regular-season success than postseason success since their run to the Western Conference Finals in 2007. A lot will depend on who they match up against in the first round of the playoffs. If they draw San Antonio, they'll be in good shape. If they draw Oklahoma City, well, that's going to be an issue. It'll be interesting to see who they ultimately get.

If you're still questioning the wisdom of letting Hedo Turkoglu go and getting Vince Carter instead, read this please and get back to me. Vince ain't perfect, but he's worked out way, way better than Turkoglu has in Toronto.
2. Los Angeles Lakers: 54-20 overall, 2-2 last week.
SBN Blog: Silver Screen and Roll
Last week: 2.
Two bad losses for the Lakers this week - one in blowout fashion to the Thunder on Friday and one last night to the Hornets. I hate to say they're the third-best team in a three-horse race, but I like Orlando and Cleveland's chances to win the title better at this point. In order to win, the Lakers need to be getting lucky and hitting their outside shots. It could happen, but I also don't think we can say they're the favorites at this point.
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: 58-16 overall, 2-1 last week.
SBN Blog: Fear the Sword
Last week: 1.
Earth to the Cavaliers: great teams don't keep changing their uniforms. They keep it simple and stick to one style. You don't see the Lakers or Celtics throwing out 100 zillion road and alternative uniforms, do you?

Opinions on Long Beach Boardwalk Unveiled
Among the Long Beach residents called to speak at Wednesday's meeting at City Hall on rebuilding the Hurricane Sandy-damaged boardwalk, some said the new structure should remain true to its name and be built of wood, while others want a concrete center lane that will withstand heavy fire equipment. Residents voiced these and other opinions after Amy Engel, director of Sustainable Long Island, gave a slide presentation on the findings of the public input the Farmingdale-based non-profit organization helped gather for the city.
Horse Rescuer Sues Prosecutor

Comic Book Store Opens
Escape Pod Comics, which just opened in Huntington village last week, puts the emphasis on the word "book" in comic book store. Unlike the comic book store in Big Bang Theory, or many others in the area for that matter, this store has no figurines, no card games -- just books. From superheroes to unique stories, there is a comic for everyone, just as their motto suggests. "Part of the reason the shop is laid out this way is that, if you have an interest in any kind of story -- you like a certain kind of movie, a certain kind of book, or a certain kind of musical -- we're going to have something that matches that," store owner Menachem Luchins said.
Residents Peeved Over Industrial Area Form Task Group
A group of Kings Park and Commack residents banded together recently to form a task group to unite residents who live near the intersection of Old Northport and Lawrence Road to stop what they say are hazardous smells and noises emitted from the nearby industrial area. Town officials seem to agree that something does indeed stink, though they are not sure they can pinpoint it.

Two Glen Cove intersections may soon know the flash of red light cameras, according to Mayor Ralph Suozzi. Nassau County's Department of Public Works is considering placing the cameras on Forest Ave. at the intersections with Dosoris Ln. and Walnut Rd., Suozzi said. The County owns Forest Ave. and has final say over the decision, he said, although a third proposed for the Pratt Blvd. intersection has been opposed by the City.
