Archie Griffin supporting Olympic hopeful J.D. Bergman
three-time All-American and NCAA Division I runner-up for the Ohio State wrestling team, has joined the Ohio Regional Training Center in supporting seven Olympic hopefuls, including himself.

"J.D. will compete in a wide open 96kg weight class, and we are very excited about J.D.'s potential to win numerous world medals during this quadrennium," says a training center press release.
The seven Olympic hopefuls will represent different weight categories at the 2012 Olympic trials. On Feb. 2, the center will hold a fundraiser at Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons. The featured speaker will be two-time Heisman Award winner and former OSU football player Archie Griffin, but Bergman will speak as well.
Other speakers are Russ Hellickson, Mark Ellis, Olympic hopeful and 2008 Olympic alternate Shawn Bunch (60kg), Lance Palmer, Mitch Clark, Jesse Leng, and Oak Harbor wrestling coach George Bergman. Olympic hopefuls also include J Jaggers (66 kg), Tervel Diagnev, Steve Luke (74-84kg), and James Yonushonis (84 kg).
Local television news broadcaster Jerry Anderson will be master of ceremonies at the fundraising dinner. Cost is $100 per person, which includes dining, draft beer, wine, and an event gift. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner served at 6:15, and the program follows. Registration must be complete by Jan. 26.
. The Press also has registration forms available for the dinner in its sports department.
Wood County Dartball
In the night's other surprise, Salem recorded three wins at home against then second-place Stony Ridge. Salem, which moved out of the league cellar ahead of Bowling Green Nazarene, won the season series with SR, 4-2. The sweep marked Salem's second of the campaign. Of Salem's 10 victories on the season, six have come via sweeps.
BG St. Mark's and Bethlehem No. 1's 14-inning game in the opener of their series Monday marked the longest game in league play so far this season. Seventh-place BGSM moved to within five games of first place and is just three out of third.
BGSM's 19 runs for the night matched its season best from November 2 at BG Trinity United Methodist. BGTUM's 19 runs in its opening-game win against BGN tied the league's second-highest mark for the year (along with B-2). B-1 owns the league high mark with 21 against PP on November 2. BGTUM's 29 runs over its three games on Monday evening were also a team best for the year.
New Rochester's 13 runs in its middle-game win at BG Cloverdale marked a season high as were its 20 runs for the evening. BGN's 12 runs (in three defeats) matched its second-best total for the year. PP's sweep was its second of the year and first since November 16 at NR.
January 4 game results (week 13) are Pemberville Methodist (0-6-2) at Zion Luckey (5-11-5); Stony Ridge (5-1-0) at Salem (6-2-3); BG St. Mark's (6-4-9) at Bethlehem No. 1 (5-5-2) – 1st game (14 innings); New Rochester (6-13-1) at BG Cloverdale (3-4-3); BG Nazarene (7-2-3) at BG Trinity United Methodist (19-3-7); Pemberville Presbyterian (4-8-2) at Bethlehem No. 2 (3-0-1).
Standings are Bethlehem No. 2 (27-12), Zion Luckey (27-12), Stony Ridge (25-14), BG Trinity United Methodist (24-15), Bethlehem No. 1 (23-16), Pemberville Methodist (23-16), BG St. Mark's (22-17), Pemberville Presbyterian (18-21), New Rochester (16-23), BG Cloverdale (11-28), Salem (10-29), and BG Nazarene (8-31).

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee County Sheriff's deputies arrested three teens on vandalism charges this morning, after bright green paint on one of the suspect's arms gave them away.
Deputies were proactively patrolling the Lee Boulevard business corridor in the early morning hours, when they encountered three juveniles acting suspiciously in the area of Hazelwood Avenue. During the encounter, the deputy noticed one of them had the paint on his arm. Realizing the teens may be involved in recent vandalism (graffiti) to area businesses, the individuals were detained.
During subsequent interviews, information was developed linking the three juveniles to the recent vandalism at St. Raphael's Church as well as recent incidents at Beef O' Brady's and Max'D Out Fitness. A 16-year-old from Lehigh Acres, a 15-year-old also from Lehigh Acres,and a 14-year-old with an unknown address were each charged with Burglary and Criminal Mischief with Property Damage $1,000 or more.
The investigation is ongoing to determine if the three juveniles are responsible for other vandalism in the community

A member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant of the Labour Party in Ekiti State, Opeyemi Bamidele, has accused Governor Kayode Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress of breaching the directives of the Independent National Electoral Commission on erection of billboards and posters.
The INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, during a stakeholders' meeting in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, had warned aspirants in the state against the pasting of campaign posters and billboards ahead of the lifting of ban on electioneering in Ekiti.
The governorship election in the state is scheduled for June 21 this year.
Bamidele raised questions on why the Fayemi government and his party violated the electoral law.
He told LP members that the election would be peaceful and that the party would obey all the rules but asked the governor to also play according to the rules.
He said, "I assure you that Ekiti 2014 election is going to be a peaceful one. I know INEC is going to do its best; we are a law abiding political party. We have kept to INEC directive on erection of billboards and pasting of posters.
"We have removed all our billboards and posters on the streets but we are surprised that the governor's posters and billboards are all over the place and nobody is talking about it.
"The governor has continued to paste posters everywhere. The INEC gave 24 hours deadline to all aspirants to remove posters and billboards.
"I want to appeal to our supporters to give peace a chance, we are government in waiting."
However, the Director of Publicity, Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Bimbo Daramola, said, "INEC was specific about the kind of posters and billboards that should be removed and those are the ones in which aspirants are asking for votes before the official date to the commencement of campaign. The billboards of Ekiti State Government being referred to are those on the achievements of the Fayemi administration.
"Let it be on record that Fayemi or his campaign organisation has not put out any campaign poster. The governor is law-abiding and understands the provisions of the Electoral Act clearly. The governor has also warned that no one should put up posters in his name until when campaign begins."

RICHMOND, Va. - The Federal Communications Commission is targeting $2.1 million toward boosting access to high-speed Internet to rural Virginians.
The FCC's Connect America Fund will help CenturyLink Inc. connect more than 2,000 locations statewide to broadband service. Under the deal, CenturyLink must complete two-thirds of its new broadband installations within two years, and the rest by the third year.
FCC officials say that about 7,000 more people in Virginia will be able to access high-speed Internet through these efforts.
About 744,000 Virginians _ nearly 38 percent of the rural population _ lack access to broadband, the agency said. Virginia has the eighth-lowest rural broadband access in the nation.
While many areas of Virginia have access to high-speed Internet, the federal agency said that more than 80 percent of the population in places like Highland, Surry, Giles, Dickenson, Madison and Amelia counties lack broadband access.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said in a news release that access to broadband means access to jobs and economic opportunities, as well as better education and health care.
Connect America is a national public-private effort to connect 19 million rural Americans to high-speed Internet by 2020.
As part of the first phase of the effort, officials say the more than $100 million in early public funding will be matched by tens of millions of dollars in private investment, serving 36 states with unserved rural communities. Officials say that nearly $46 billion in public investment from the Connect America Fund over the next ten years will spur billions more in private investment.

Marathé married and, when she was 28, moved with her husband to the United States, where she began exploring her roots and developing her love of cooking. Years later, she launched her own catering company, Un-Curry, specializing in Marathi food, a regional Indian cuisine that's rarely found (outside of private homes) in the U.S.
After a successful launch at Surfas in November, Marathé began hosting The Un-Curry Table, an occasional pop-up supper club. Inspired by the traditional Marathi wedding dinners of her youth, the next event will be held this Saturday, January 29. ($35/person. Spots are still available. Location revealed when diners RSVP.)
Squid Ink: How did you get into cooking?
Kaumudi Marathé: I'm a journalist by profession, but when I got married I started writing down my grandmother's Marathi recipes. "Marathi" means "people from Maharashtra." I was fairly westernized when I went back to India. So for me, that kind of traditional food was something I looked forward to when I went back to visit.A small publisher in Bombay approached me. I wrote a book for him of family recipes from both sides of my family, "Maharashtrian Cuisine: A Family Treasury." For the longest time, it remained the only book of its kind in English. The thing is with a lot of Indian food abroad, it is north Indian food like samosas and tandoori or south Indian fast food. The whole rest of the country has been ignored until recently. For me as a journalist, this was a great way for me to explore my roots. And the more I did it, the more I found there was a need to do this before it was lost.
SI: When did you come to the United States?
KM: I moved to the U.S. in 1996 and came to Los Angeles in 1998. My husband was going to the university of Texas, and actually they have a great Indian collection. I started cooking my way through all the big cookbooks in the U.S. Over the years I developed an understanding of where Indian food was in the scheme of things, and I developed a jargon to explain Indian food to the west.
Americans look toward French food from the west, as their Mecca. I look at French food from east of there. I think that Indian and Chinese food are extremely sophisticated and complex and, as far as Indian cuisine goes, I think it needs to get its due.
SI: What did that develop into?
KM: In 2005, I pitched a book to Penguin. It was, again, the food of my region, but it was more representative of my whole state: Hindu, Muslim, Christian, different castes, different areas. It was only released in India and came out in late 2009: "The Essential Marathi Cookbook." They sold out the first print run in 6 months. Both books are written in English because my mother tongue is English.
SI: How did your cooking career develop?
KM: When we moved here, it was because my husband went to school and I was on a spouse visa. I couldn't work for money, so I just worked on my projects. Then, in 2007, I got my work papers and could finally start working. By then it had become clear to me I wanted to do something with food.
For two years, I researched the roots of the word "curry" to write an article for Gastronomica. It became clear to me: What I really wanted to do was share Indian food with southern California and dispel the myths about Indian cuisine. The way I explain it is that India is the size of Europe, and each region is like a different country. That's why I called [my catering company] Un-Curry.
SI: What distinguishes Marathi cuisine from other regional Indian cuisines?

Marianna, FL---The Chipola Indians have clawed their way into a tie for second place with Gulf Coast in the Panhandle standings.
The Indians beating Northwest Florida Wednesday night 6-5. Chipola got two doubles and 3 rbi from Chase Nyman while building a 6-0 lead through 7.
In top of the 8th the Raiders scored one on a wild pitch and a Nick Masonia grand slam to get within a run, but Cole Evans works a 1-2-3 9th to save it.
The Indians move to 31-19, more importantly 8-8 in league play, same as idle Gulf Coast. Tallahassee's already clinched the title. The top two teams in the conference earn a berth to the State Tournament next month.
Chipola now heads into a two game set with Pensacola, at Pensacola Friday and in Marianna Saturday.
The Commodores get two with Tallahassee, hosting the Eagles Friday and playing in Tallahassee Saturday.
Then Monday and Wednesday, the Indians and Commodores head to head, the first game in Marianna, the second game, the final game of the regular season, at Frazier Field on the G.C. campus.
It's shaping up to be a thrilling finish for that second state berth in the Panhandle Conference.

Jon Stevens Corzine (born January 1, 1947) is an American financial executive and politician. A Democrat, he was a United States Senator from New Jersey from 2001 to 2006 and was the 54th Governor of New Jersey from 2006 to 2010. He also worked as CEO of Goldman Sachs[2] during the 1990s and was CEO of MF Global from 2010 to 2011. He was charged by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in connection with MF's bankruptcy in 2011.
Corzine began his career in banking and finance. In the early and mid-1970s, he worked for Midwestern banks (Continental-Illinois National Bank in Chicago, Illinois and BancOhio National Bank in Columbus, Ohio) during and after his master of business administration (MBA) studies at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. In 1975 he moved to New Jersey to work for Goldman Sachs. He became Chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs and the leading advocate in the firm's decision to go public. In 1999, having lost a power struggle with Henry M. Paulson, Corzine left the firm. After his departure from Goldman Sachs, he earned what has been estimated to be $400 million during the 1999 initial public offering of the company.[3]
Corzine served five years of a six-year U.S. Senate term representing New Jersey before being elected Governor in 2005. He was defeated for re-election in 2009 by Republican Chris Christie. In March 2010, Corzine was named chairman and CEO of MF Global Inc., a financial services firm specializing in futures brokerage. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2011 after losing $1.6 billion of customer money[4] and Corzine resigned on November 4, 2011.[5][6]
Corzine was born in central Illinois, the son of Nancy June (née Hedrick) and Roy Allen Corzine.[7] He grew up on a small family farm in Willey Station, Illinois, and near Taylorville. After completing high school at Taylorville High School,[8] where he had been the football quarterback and basketball captain,[9] he attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and graduated in 1969, earning Phi Beta Kappa honors. While in college, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve and served from 1969 until 1975, attaining the rank of sergeant. In 1970 he enrolled in the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, from which he received a Master of Business Administration degree in 1973.[10][11]
His first business experience was in the bond department of Continental Illinois National Bank, where he worked days while attending the Booth School of Business MBA program at night.[9][12] He then moved to BancOhio National Bank, a regional bank in Columbus, Ohio, that was acquired in 1984 by National City Bank. Corzine worked at BancOhio until 1975 when he moved his family to New Jersey and was hired as a bond trader for Goldman Sachs.
Over the years, he worked his way up to Chairman and CEO of the company in 1994 and successfully converted the investment firm from a private partnership to a publicly traded corporation. Corzine also chaired a presidential commission for Bill Clinton and served on the U.S. Treasury Department's borrowing committee.[13] As a Goldman Sachs senior partner, he was summoned to help develop a rescue package for the hedge fund Long Term Capital Management when the leveraged fund's collapse in the fall of 1998 threatened contagion across the U.S. financial system.[14] According to U.S. News & World Report, Corzine did not get along with co-CEO Henry Paulson,[15] who came from the other major area of the bank, investment banking.[16] When Corzine decided to help the bailout, Paulson seized control of the firm.[17] As co-chairman of the firm, he oversaw its expansion into Asia.[18] When Goldman Sachs went public after Corzine's departure,[15] Corzine made $400 million.[3]
Corzine has participated in meetings of the Bilderberg Group, a network of leaders in the fields of politics, business, and banking, from 1995–1997, 1999, 2003 and 2004.[19]
After being forced from Goldman Sachs in January 1999, Corzine campaigned for a New Jersey Senate seat after Frank Lautenberg announced his retirement. Despite initially trailing behind his opponent in the Democratic primary by 30 percentage points,[20] Corzine won the nomination and was subsequently elected to the Senate by a four-percent margin over his Republican opponent four-term United States Congressman Bob Franks in the November 2000 election and was sworn into the Senate in January 2001. He spent over $62 million of his own money on his campaign, the most expensive Senate campaign in U.S. history – over $33 million of this was spent on the primary election alone, where he defeated former Governor James Florio 58%–42%.[3][21][22] Franks had been a last-minute choice because New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman had been expected to run for the Senate.[23] The record $62 million amount surpassed Michael Huffington, who spent nearly $28 million in an unsuccessful 1994 Senate race.[24]
During the campaign, Corzine refused to release his income tax return records. He claimed an interest in doing so, but he cited a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs. Skeptics argued that he should have followed the example of his predecessor Robert Rubin, who converted his equity stake into debt upon leaving Goldman.[25]
Corzine campaigned for state government programs including universal health care, universal gun registration, mandatory public preschool, and more taxpayer funding for college education.[3][26] He pushed affirmative action and same-sex marriage.[20] David Brooks considered Corzine so liberal that although his predecessor was also a Democrat, his election helped shift the Senate to the left.[27]
During Corzine's campaign for the United States Senate, he made some controversial off-color statements. When introduced to a man with an Italian name who said he was in the construction business, Corzine quipped: "Oh, you make cement shoes!" according to Emanuel Alfano, chairman of the Italian-American One Voice Committee. Alfano also reported that when introduced to a lawyer named David Stein, Corzine said: "He's not Italian, is he? Oh, I guess he's your Jewish lawyer who is here to get the rest of you out of jail."[28] Corzine denied mentioning religion, but did not deny the quip about Italians, stating that some of his own ancestors were probably Italian,[29] or maybe French.[7]
Also in 2000, Corzine denied having made payments to African-American ministers, although the foundation controlled by him and his wife had paid one influential black church $25,000.[30] Rev. Reginald T. Jackson, director of the Black Ministers Council, had campaigned against a form of racial profiling whereby police officers stop minority drivers and had gotten New Jersey state police superintendent, Carl A. Williams, fired. Corzine had donated to Jackson prior to getting what appears to be a reciprocal endorsement.[31]
Corzine entered Congress in a class of ten new senators, eight of whom were Democrats. According to U.S. News & World Report, Corzine, Hillary Clinton and Jean Carnahan were the more notable new Senators in 2000.[32] During his five-year senatorial career, he was present at 1503 of 1673 votes, co-sponsored 1014 bills, sponsored 145 bills (11 of which made it out of committee), and had one sponsored bill enacted.[33]
He co-authored the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In the aftermath of Enron, he co-sponsored (with Barbara Boxer) legislation, which was later propounded by Ted Kennedy,[34] that reforms the 401(k) plan to minimize the risk of investment portfolios.[35][36][37] The plan was opposed by United States President George W. Bush and faced strong opposition in Congress.[38][39] Restrictions on retirement account allocations were in direct opposition to the contemporaneous movement towards self-directed individual retirement accounts for social security.[40]
Corzine was a sponsor of the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Act. He supported providing a two-year tax break to victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and help grant citizenship to victims who were legal resident aliens. He supported gun control laws, outlawing racial profiling, and subsidies for Amtrak. He was the chief sponsor, along with U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, of the Darfur Accountability Act.[41][42] He voted against the Iraq War Resolution. Corzine was the prime sponsor, along with U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg, of a federal version of John's Law, in memory of Navy Ensign John R. Elliott of New Jersey, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate who was killed by a drunk driver. The legislation provides federal highway safety grant incentives to encourage states to impound the cars of DUI suspects. He was an early contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.[43] In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks, Corzine and Peter Fitzgerald attempted to mold a more disciplined bailout of the airline industry, but even the redesigned plan was not entirely satisfactory to Corzine.[44] Corzine opposed the reduction in low-income student eligibility for Pell Grant funding caused by changes in the "expected family contribution".[45][46]
Corzine tried and failed to introduce legislation for chemical plant regulation six weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Subsequent efforts by then-Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman in 2002 were also squelched.[47] Along with Hillary Clinton, he was one of the few senators who attempted to pressure the Bush administration to clamp down on regulation of the chemical and nuclear-power industries.[48] His efforts helped make New Jersey one of the stricter states in the nation in terms of chemical plant regulation.[49]
In 2001, Corzine coauthored (with Bob Graham) a tax-cut proposal aimed at lowering the marginal tax bracket from 15% to 10% on the first $19,000 of taxable income.[50] In 2002, he proposed a tax cut that exempted the first $10,000 of income from the $765 of Social Security taxes for both employers and employees.[51] Despite his liberal tax cut suggestions, he is also a proponent of making dividend payments tax deductible to companies as a form of economic stimulus.[52]
While in the Senate, he chaired the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from 2003–2005.[53] In this role he was influential in convincing certain potential candidates to not run in order to avoid costly primaries in three key states during the 2004 United States Senate elections.[54] He also played a role in the selection of Senator John Edwards as a running mate for Senator John Kerry.[55] Oddly, his resolution to congratulate Bruce Springsteen on the 30th Anniversary of Born to Run for his contribution to American culture was derailed in all likelihood due to Springsteen's support of Kerry.[56]
In 2002, Corzine called for the resignation of United States Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Harvey Pitt.[57]
In the Senate, Corzine was a member of the Committees on Banking, Intelligence, the Budget, and Energy and Natural Resources.
Corzine and his opponent, Republican Doug Forrester, spent $73 million on their gubernatorial campaigns by the week before Election day. This included $38 million by Corzine and $19 million by Forrester for the general election. The primaries accounted for the difference.[58] Since Corzine had spent over $62 million on his 2000 United States Senate elections,[59] the combined expenditures for Corzine's run for the Senate and Governorship exceeded $100 million. The main campaign issues were property taxes and the Bush administration. New Jersey had averaged $5,500 in 2004 property taxes, and Corzine tried to link his opponent to Bush.[60]
The campaign for the post of Governor of New Jersey was successful with 54% of the vote. Forrester, a businessman and a former Mayor of West Windsor Township, in Mercer County, won 43%. Corzine received 1,224,493 votes to Forrester's 985,235. A total of 80,277 votes, or 3%, were scattered among other candidates. Corzine won 13 of New Jersey's 21 counties: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Mercer, Middlesex, Passaic, Salem, and Union. Corzine won the three most populous counties (Bergen, Essex, and Middlesex), five of the top six, and seven of the top nine.[61]
Corzine ran for re-election in the 2009 New Jersey gubernatorial election.[62] Early on, Rasmussen Reports indicated that Republican challenger Chris Christie led Corzine 47% to 38%.[63] Later polls showed Corzine closing the gap, and in some cases, ahead.[64] In the end, Corzine lost the race to Christie by a margin of 48.5% to 44.9%, with 5.8% of the vote going to independent candidate Chris Daggett.[65]

Corzine officially declined his $175,000 salary in 2006.[66]
After taking office in January 2006, Corzine's approval numbers were very low. Many polls seemed to indicate that much of this negative polling was a result of the 2006 New Jersey State Government shutdown. An April 26, 2006, polls from Quinnipiac University Polling Institute showed Corzine at a 15% approval with a 72% disapproval.[67] A February 28, 2007, poll from Quinnipiac University showed Corzine at 50% approval with 34% disapproval.[68] When Corzine released a controversial plan to monetize the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, his approval rating fell to 30% in January 2008.[69] In conjunction with this fall in approval rating, an initiative to recall the Governor was started for the first and only time ever in New Jersey history. The recall effort failed after gathering less than the required 1.2 million signatures.[70]
Corzine had long insisted that state employees must bear part of the cost of their health benefits after retirement. As of July 1, 2007, in agreements with the Communications Workers of America, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, and the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, active State employees in those unions (as well as certain other non-union employees) are now required to contribute 1.5% of their salary to offset health care costs. State and local employees' contributions to the two largest pension systems increased by 10%, from 5% to 5.5% of their annual salaries and increased the retirement benefit age for new public employees, from 55 to 60 years.[71] In 2008, Corzine approved a law that increased the retirement age from 60 to 62, required that government workers and teachers earn $7,500 per year to qualify for a pension, eliminated Lincoln's Birthday as a state worker holiday, allowed the state to offer incentives not to take health insurance and required municipal employees work 20 hours per week to get health benefits.[72]
As part of his attempt to balance the budget, Corzine has decreased funding to most programs and localities including state universities and colleges. The first of these decreases came with the 2007 budget. Rutgers University and other New Jersey state universities have raised tuition, cut hundreds of sections of classes, and several sports teams.[73] With the latest decrease in funding for 2009, most state institutions have less funding than they had a decade ago. Despite the $15 million in cuts, Rutgers went ahead with previous agreed upon raises of $15 million to their executive faculty. This resulted in Rutgers making $30 million in cuts.[74]
Corzine has been the only New Jersey Governor in recent memory to make any headway in addressing the crisis of municipal funding. While not directly touching the third rail of New Jersey governance – property taxes – Corzine's reform of the school funding formula (passed and signed in January 2008) resulted in significant relief to many New Jersey towns with outsize school costs but limited tax base.[75] The plan survived a legal challenge and was declared constitutional by the New Jersey Supreme Court on May 28, 2009.[76]
Corzine has championed expanding government health and education programs. He planned to require every resident to enroll in a health plan and have taxpayers help pick up the tab for all the welfare low- and middle-income residents. In June 2008, state legislators voted for the first phase of that program mandating health care coverage and Corzine signed it into law in July.[77]
Corzine spent some $200,000 of New Jersey money on advertisements to promote a referendum on the 2007 New Jersey ballot to borrow $450 million to fund stem cell research. The referendum faced strong opposition and was rejected despite the fact that $270 million had previously been approved to build stem cell research centers.[78]
Corzine, a death penalty opponent,[79][80] as Governor supported and presided over abolition of the capital punishment in New Jersey and replacing it with life imprisonment. After the legislature passed and he signed it into law, New Jersey became the first state to legislatively eliminate capital punishment since 1965.[81] Although the bill was not passed until late in 2007, New Jersey had not executed any criminals since 1963. Because the penalty was never used and often reversed upon appeal, it was viewed as a form of extended suffering for victims' families by some supporters of its abolition.[82] Before the enactment of the new law, he commuted the death sentences of all death row inmates to life in prison.[83] Corzine also has supported early New Jersey efforts at gun control.[84]
Corzine was one of several United States Governors – including Martin O'Malley of Maryland, Mike Beebe of Arkansas, and Eliot Spitzer of New York – who were early supporters of Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.[85] He raised $1 million for her campaign.[86] He, Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer, Chuck Schumer, and Charlie Rangel co-hosted Clinton's October 25, 2007 60th-birthday party.[87] He remained a committed Clinton superdelegate late into the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primary season.[88] In the event the Democratic National Committee would have decided to recontest the Michigan and Florida primaries, Corzine and Ed Rendell were prepared to spearhead Clinton's fundraising in for those races.[89] Towards the end of the primary season in April 2008, Corzine made it clear that although he was a Clinton supporter, his superdelegate vote would be determined by the popular vote.[90] After her win in the April 22, 2008 Pennsylvania Democratic primary and a calculation of popular votes that excluded caucuses and included the controversial Michigan and Florida Democratic primaries, Corzine reaffirmed his support for her.[91] Once Barack Obama became the presumptive nominee, Corzine became a prominent spokesperson for Obama's agenda.[92]
Corzine was among a group of big (in terms of population) state governors, such as Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger, who moved his state Republican and Democratic primaries to February 5, 2008, the date of Super Tuesday, 2008.[93][94] He was also among a group of prominent Democratic politicians (that included Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama) who received political contributions from Norman Hsu that he ended up donating to charity.[95]
In November 2008, in response to the ongoing economic downturn, Corzine proposed an economic recovery package consisting of additional massive spending, accelerated capital improvement spending and reforms and cuts to the corporate income tax.[96][97] As of December 2008 many elements of the plan had been approved by the Democrats in the NJ Legislature.[98] On January 2, 2009, Corzine joined the governors of four other states in urging the federal government to provide $1 trillion in aid to the country's 50 state governments to help pay for education, welfare and infrastructure as states struggle with steep budget deficits amid a deepening recession.[99]
Corzine, in attempting to pass the 2007 fiscal year budget, clashed with a few fellow state Democrats in the New Jersey General Assembly, particularly over the proposed increase of the state's sales tax from 6% to 7%. Corzine said that he would not accept a budget that did not include the sales tax increase. After the legislature failed to pass Corzine's budget by the midnight deadline of July 1, 2006, he signed an executive order[100] that immediately closed down all non-essential state government services, such as road construction projects. Legislators failed to resolve the situation by July 4 and casinos, among other governmentally-regulated industries, closed their doors at 8:00 am on July 5.[101] Corzine called the shutdown "deplorable," though he refused to negotiate with legislators and accept alternate plans that did not increase the sales tax. It is estimated that the state lost several hundred millions of dollars of revenue every day the casinos remained closed, because of the budget impasse.[102]
After six days of state government shutdown, Corzine and Assembly Democrats agreed to raise the state sales tax to 7% with half of the 1% increase going to the state budget and the other half going to property tax relief. On July 8, 2006, the $30 billion state budget, with the sales tax agreement, passed both houses and Governor Corzine signed the budget into law ending the budget impasse.[103]
Initially, Corzine opposed privatization of the New Jersey Turnpike.[104] On January 8, 2008, to address ongoing structural budget issues, Governor Corzine proposed a four-part proposal including an overall reduction in spending, a constitutional amendment to require more voter approval for state borrowing, an executive order prohibiting the use of one-time revenues to balance the budget and a controversial plan to raise some $38 billion by leasing the Garden State Parkway, the New Jersey Turnpike, and other toll roads for at least 75 years to a new public benefit corporation that could sell bonds secured by future tolls, which it would be allowed to raise by 50% plus inflation every four years beginning in 2010.[105][106] Corzine vowed to get that plan through the state legislature by March, but held off for nearly a month before releasing the details.[107] Upon learning how the plan would work, New Jersey native residents railed against it, comparing it to using one credit card to pay off another, pointing out that it would create hardship for commuters and noting that it would actually increase the state's $32 billion debt.[108][109][110]
Corzine, who was running for the United State Senate in the spring of 1999, met Carla Katz, the then married president of Local 1034 of the Communications Workers of America, in the same apartment building where he resided in the City of Hoboken; the CWA represents the largest number of state workers in New Jersey. As Katz later recalled, Corzine offered her a job on his Senate campaign, but she declined the offer.[111] Corzine and the still married Katz were soon dating, and they began appearing in public as a couple in early 2002, shortly after Corzine's unofficial separation from his wife Joanne. (The Corzines divorced the following year.) For more than two years Corzine was romantically involved and living with Katz. She lived with him at his apartment building in Hudson County City of Hoboken from April 2002 until August 2004.[112]
After Corzine's breakup with Katz, their lawyers negotiated a financial payout in November 2004. According to press accounts, the settlement for Katz exceeded $6 million, including cash (in part used to buy her $1.1 million condominium in Hoboken), a college trust fund to educate her children, a 2005 Volvo sport utility vehicle,[112] and Corzine forgave a $470,000 loan that he had made to Katz in 2002 so that she could buy out her ex-husband's share of their home in Alexandria Township.[112][113] Katz enrolled in Seton Hall University School of Law on a full scholarship in 2004. Corzine later admitted that he had also given $15,000 to Carla Katz's brother-in-law, Rocco Riccio, a former state employee who had to resign, after being accused of examining income tax returns for political purposes. At the time, Katz was president of the Communications Workers of America Local 1034,[114] which bargains on behalf of many state employees.[115]
In the summer of 2005, when Corzine was running in the New Jersey gubernatorial election, news first emerged of his relationship with Katz and the money she had received. Corzine was elected governor despite the scandal. In the fall of 2006, during an impasse in contract negotiations between the Corzine administration and the state's seven major state employee unions (including the CWA), Katz contacted the governor by phone and e-mail to lobby for a renewal of the negotiations. Their relationship and the financial settlement Katz received after their breakup led to allegations of many potential conflicts of interest in labor negotiations while Corzine was governor.[112] A state ethics panel, acting on a complaint from Bogota mayor Steve Lonegan, ruled in May 2007 that Katz's contact with Corzine during negotiations did not violate the governor's code of conduct.[112] Separately, New Jersey Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson filed a lawsuit to release all e-mail correspondence between Corzine and Katz during the contract negotiations. On May 30, 2008, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Paul Innes ruled that at least 745 pages of e-mail records should be made public, but Corzine's lawyers immediately appealed the decision.[116][117]
Corzine won his case on appeal, and on March 18, 2009, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that it would not hear arguments in the case, effectively ending the legal battle to make his e-mails with Katz public.[118] Corzine spent approximately $127,000 of taxpayer funds to keep the e-mails secret. Despite these efforts, on August 1, 2010, The Star-Ledger published 123 of the Corzine-Katz e-mails, revealing the extent of their personal contact during negotiations over a new state government workers contract in early 2007.[119]
Corzine continued to serve in the U.S. Senate while running for Governor, which ensured that he could resign from the Senate and appoint a Democrat as his successor if he won and allowed him to retain his Senate seat if he lost. Speculation was that he would appoint a Democrat from one of the congressional districts in New Jersey, perhaps Congressmen Rob Andrews, Rush Holt, or Frank Pallone. He appointed Governor Richard Codey although on November 23, 2005, he announced that he was not interested in pursuing the seat. On December 9, 2005, Corzine named his friend, who lived and lives in the same apartment building, U.S. Rep. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, to succeed him.[120]
One of Corzine's first nominations was that of Zulima Farber as New Jersey Attorney General. She served for approximately seven months until an ethics investigation concluded that she had acted improperly by going to the location where local police in Fairview, New Jersey had stopped her boyfriend, Hamlet Gore, for driving with a suspended license and an expired vehicle registration.[121] Corzine said he did not ask for Farber's resignation.[121][122]
On February 9, 2006, after many scandals regarding financial mishandling at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Corzine nominated Robert Del Tufo, the former Attorney General of New Jersey and U.S. Attorney, as chairman of the board of trustees. Corzine also nominated Oliver Quinn, Prudential Financial's vice president and chief ethics officer, as vice chairman of the board.[123]
Corzine's commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection and Chief of Staff, Lisa P. Jackson was nominated as the administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. She was confirmed by the Senate on January 22, 2009.[124]
On April 12, 2007, Corzine and 25-year-old aide Samantha Gordon were injured in an automobile accident on the Garden State Parkway near Galloway Township while traveling from the New Jersey Conference of Mayors in Atlantic City to Drumthwacket, his residence in Princeton, to meet with radio personality Don Imus and the Rutgers University women's basketball team.[125]
The New Jersey State Police determined that Corzine's SUV, driven by a state trooper, was traveling in excess of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) with its emergency lights flashing when the collision occurred.[126] A pickup truck drifted onto the shoulder and swerved back onto the lane, and another pickup truck swerved to avoid the truck and hit the Governor's SUV, causing the SUV to hit the guardrail. The State Police reviewed roadside camera recordings and E-ZPass records to track down the driver of the truck; he was not charged with any violation.[127][128]
Corzine and the trooper were flown by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, a Level I trauma center. The aide was taken by ambulance to Atlantic City Medical Center. Neither the NJ State Trooper nor the aide was seriously injured, but Corzine suffered broken bones, including an open fracture of the left femur, 11 broken ribs, a broken sternum, a broken collarbone, a fractured lower vertebra, and a facial cut that required plastic surgery.[129] The Governor was not wearing a seat belt. Friends had long said that they had rarely seen him wear one.[130] When asked why the state trooper who was driving would not have asked Corzine to put on his seat belt, a staffer said the governor was "not always amenable to suggestion".[131] The Superintendent of State Police has also noted that the trooper could be charged if the crash was preventable.
By April 23, 2007, Corzine's doctors had upgraded him from critical to stable condition.[132] He was sedated and unable to speak because of a breathing tube in his throat, and as such, was unable to perform his duties as Governor. In accordance with the New Jersey State Constitution, New Jersey Senate President Richard Codey assumed the position of acting governor for the short period from April 12 until May 7, 2007. In 2005, voters had approved an amendment to the state constitution to provide for a Lieutenant Governor who would succeed the governor in the event of a vacancy, but that position would not be filled until 2010.[133]
Corzine left the hospital on April 30, 2007.,[134] sped to Drumthwacket, where he recuperated and which had been outfitted with a videoconferencing center (at his expense) so he could communicate with legislators.[135] He issued an apology, paid a $46 ticket (issued at the behest of his staff) for not wearing a seat belt,[136] and he appeared in a public service announcement advocating seat belts which opened with the words "I'm New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, and I should be dead."[137]
It was reported that Corzine would pay his own medical bills rather than bill taxpayers.[138]
During the first months of his administration, Corzine experienced favorable approval ratings. According to a March 2006 Fairleigh Dickinson PublicMind Poll, 47% of New Jersey voters approved of the job Corzine was doing, while 16% disapproved.[139] Peter Woolley, director of the PublicMind, noted, "the numbers are pretty good for a New Jersey governor heading full tilt into an unprecedented budget crisis".[139] Much of the good will that was indicated by the March poll was quickly diminished, and in April 2006, a PublicMind poll showed that Corzine's approval rating had eroded to 39% while his disapproval rating increased to 36%.[140] By July 2006, the Governor's ratings recovered to some extent from the April decline and in September of the same year it was clear that Corzine's approvals had not suffered from the summer conflict over the budget and the sales tax hike; 51% of New Jersey voters approved of the governor's handling of his job while 31% disapproved.[141] His PublicMind poll ratings remained relatively stable and healthy through the rest of 2006 and 2007 with his average approvals at 54% and his average disapprovals at 29%.[142] His car crash and injuries had no effect.
In January 2008, prior to the State of the State address Corzine was at 48% approving 32% disapproving, according to the PublicMind poll.[143] But another FDU PublicMind poll taken in late January, after the State of the State address, showed that governor's ratings were slipping; 41% of voters approved of the job Corzine was doing while 39% reported that they disapproved.[144] The decline was largely in response to the governor's plan to raise tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.[145] February 2008 was not any kinder, as a PublicMind poll indicated that his numbers continued to slip with disapprovals catching up to approvals with 42% of voters approving and 43% of voters disapproving.[146] Woolley remarked on the decline saying, "Considering the beating he has taken on his toll plan, it's remarkable that his numbers are not a good deal worse."[146] The governor's approval ratings showed no recovery through September 2008 with his approvals and disapprovals averaging 42% and 43% respectively.[142] Coincident with the presidential campaign, Corzine's approval ratings saw some improvement.[142]
In January 2009 he stood at 46% approving and 40% disapproving. Woolley asserted that the governor was faring relatively well in public opinion considering "the enormous and growing pressure on the state budget and on the governor to protect various constituencies".[147] Come March 2009, the PublicMind Poll found that, "Gov. Jon Corzine's standing with the New Jersey public is suffering along with the economy," and as a result his approvals began to slip with 40% of voters approving and 43% disapproving.[148] His approvals continued to decline in April as he contended with the budget and the financial crisis with 40% approving and 49% disapproving.[149] At the end of his term, in January 2010, Corzine's approvals landed at their lowest point during the administration with 33% approving and 58% disapproving.[150]
Corzine was appointed CEO and Chairman of MF Global, a multinational futures broker and bond dealer, in March 2010.[151]
MF Global's stock price declined two-thirds in the final week of October 2011 and its credit rating was reduced making its debt high-yield debt following huge quarterly losses.[152][153] On October 31, 2011, trading was halted on shares of MF Global prior to the market opening, and soon thereafter MF Global announced that it had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Shortly afterwards, federal regulators began an investigation into hundreds of millions of dollars in missing customer funds.[154] Corzine resigned as CEO on November 4, 2011, after having retained the services of defense attorney Andrew J. Levander.[155] It was reported that Corzine declined a severance package worth $12.1 million.[156] MF Global's collapse was one of the ten biggest bankruptcies in U.S. history.[157]
Corzine was subpoenaed to appear before a House committee on December 8, 2011, to answer questions regarding missing money from MF Global client accounts.[158] On January 30, 2012, it was reported that officials investigating the case believed most of the money is unrecoverable.[159] In March 2012, Bloomberg reported that a memo produced by congressional investigators quotes an internal company e-mail as saying Corzine gave "direct instructions" to use customer money to cover the company's own shortfalls prior to bankruptcy. A Corzine spokesperson responded that Corzine "never gave any instruction to misuse customer funds and never intended anyone at MF Global to misuse customer funds".[160]
In February 2013,"a court approved a settlement deal among commodities firm MF Global's bankruptcy trustees that will reimburse its customers for 93 percent of the value of their accounts, from which about $1.6 billion had disappeared during the firm's bankruptcy.
In June 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed civil charges against Corzine for using funds from MF's customer accounts for corporate purposes. "Corzine is charged with one count of failure to segregate and misuse of customer funds and one count of failure to supervise diligently", a news report said. The commission drew on extensive taped Corzine phone conversations in filing the complaint. Corzine's attorney Levander issued a statement contesting the charges when they were filed.[161]
Corzine, and managers including Bradley Abelow and Henri Steenkamp, are appealing a court ruling calling for 100 percent repayment to customers of the bankrupt brokerage. The ruling was made on Nov. 5 by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn and would allow all missing customer funds to be returned by the end of the year.[162]
As of 2010[update] Corzine served as a partner at J.C. Flowers & Co., the private equity firm founded by his friend J. Christopher Flowers. Flowers owned a 10 percent stake in MF Global[16] and is also a former Goldman Sachs partner.

Corzine married his high school sweetheart,[163] Joanne Dougherty, in 1969 at the age of 22,[8] and their 33-year marriage produced three children: Jennifer, Josh, and Jeffrey. The couple separated in 2002 and were divorced in November 2003. In November 2005, Dougherty told The New York Times that Corzine "let his family down, and he'll probably let New Jersey down, too." This quote was used by gubernatorial opponent Doug Forrester in a campaign advertisement.[164]
Corzine had lived with his wife in Summit.[165] After their separation, Corzine moved to a condominium apartment building in Hudson County, city of Hoboken, in the same building as NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning and Jesse Palmer.[166]
In April 2010, The Huffington Post announced the engagement of Corzine and psychotherapist Sharon Elghanayan, whom he had been dating since 2004.[167] On November 23, 2010, Corzine married Elghanayan in a ceremony presided over by Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court Stuart Rabner, according to an announcement in The New York Times.[168]

Prosecution, defense rest in Webster trial; defense calls only one witness
MANCHESTER - Both prosecution and defense rested Monday morning in the attempted murder trial of Myles Webster, 23, in Hillsborough County Superior Court North.
Webster is accused of shooting Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty at Wayne and Rimmon streets after a foot chase March 21.
The final prosecution witness, Dr. Robert A. Catania, a surgeon at Catholic Medical Center, described the wounds Doherty sustained and said, "Nine out of 10 times the wounds would have been fatal."
Defense attorney Caroline Smith presented only one defense witness, Sgt. Michael Biron.
She asked him what Doherty said at the hospital immediatedly after the shooting. Biron said Doherty told him: "Hispanic male, heavyset, ponytail, black clothing. He shot me."
The defense claims Webster is a victim of mistaken identity and that police conducted their investigation in a way to ensure the conviction of Webster, the man they arrested the night of the shooting.
The defense then rested.
Abramson then sent the jury home and said closing arguments will be given Tuesday morning.

Women are curious creatures. Sliding more readily along the Kinsey scale, allowing for sexual attraction and interaction with both men and women, it is said that most women are bisexual, just to varying degrees. As far as the women of Females on Shemales are concerned, well, quite frankly, I'm throwing out the book on sexual classifications, guys. Pornstar women sucking and fucking former male, now female transsexuals who haven't yet completely joined the fairer sex (i.e.: they're pre- not post-op) - that's something you surely don't see everyday, not even on the World Wide Web of sexual debauchery. Stand up straight and pay attention, 'cause Females on Shemales has got something to say!
If you've got a thing for shemales but often find their generally unimpressive lower appendages a bit disappointing, head on over to Joey Silvera's Evil Angel site, I Love Black Shemales. Filled wall-to-wall with, well, black shemales sucking, fucking, and stroking themselves off to orgasmic nirvana, I Love Black Shemales is a true original, a decidedly hardcore take on two of porn's most undervalued niches: African American women and chicks-with-dicks.
Visit I Love Black Shemales | Read I Love Black Shemales review
They say the simple things in life are often the best, so a site called Shemale Scenes seems like a great place to find some hardcore transsexual porn that cuts through the bullshit to deliver the best this woefully undervalued niche has to offer. Is that the case, though? Is Shemale Scenes such a thrilling ride for the tranny-fan in need of video and photo smut so perfect it's quite simply a must-see, or is it something else entirely? The truth, dear reader, as always, lies somewhere in between.
You might be the kind of guy to resolutely reject any homosexual, bisexual, or transsexual advance, but what if the tranny is, like, über hot? After all, as long as you don't dive below the belt, she's a woman from the waist up, am I right? Giving in to their pro-op tranny fetish, the guys getting blown at Shemale Blowjobs don't seem to mind the stiffening meat-pole swinging beneath their cum dumpster's thighs; in fact, the very fact that these chicks-with-dicks are chicks-with-dicks is what led to the hummer in the first place. If you, like these guys, are prone to a little gender-bending curiosity, Shemale Blowjobs could be just the place to get your dick sucked real good, like, and maybe throw one your new ladyboy's way as a thank you. Hey, when in Rome...
Tranny Pack bills itself as "the one all access pass for all your favorite tranny websites!" It's hard to believe, though, that a 7-site network with 52 photo and video sets currently on it would fulfill all (or even the majority) of your tranny desires. Sure, there's some hot hardcore action on these sites, but is it enough to make up for high prices and a small content archive? (Answer: probably not.)
You no doubt know how men masturbate - for all I know you could be in the midst of demonstrating it to yourself this very second - and you've surely seen plenty of evidence to suggest a few different standard methods women use to attain self-pleasure, but what about those who bridge the gap between male and female, transsexuals? At Tranny Solos members are treated to more than 70 scenes of cock-stroking, breast-caressing, nipple-twisting, ass-fingering fun courtesy of some of the finest shemale models this increasingly less obscure porn niche has yet seen. Whether you're here to get tips for your first tranny-loving experience or you simply like to watch, Tranny Solos adds a feminine touch and presents a unique perspective on man's favorite pastime.
When one pert-breasted, well-endowed (penally speaking) transsexual hottie just isn't enough and even two won't cut it, why not gather up four lovely he-ladies and quadruple your pleasure with Wild Shemale Orgies. Sitting quite comfortably on the SheMax network of all-transsexual, all-hardcore adult sites, Wild Shemale Orgies gathers up four gorgeous shemales in each scene and presents them with an offer: fuck or walk. Not surprisingly, they all fuck, but not before indulging their flamboyant sides with a rousing game of Twister, foosball, or even a food fight. Talk about fun! (Oh yeah, there's four-way dick-in-ass tranny train fucking, too!)
Those of you who've worked yourselves into a tizzy over a stiff-dicked, small-tittied, brown-skinned ladyboy know exactly what the title of Femboy Fever refers to: a tingling, chilling sensation that overtakes your body immediately upon seeing an attractive shemale. As part of the SheMax network, Femboy Fever is the latest site to endeavor to offer prospective members the most scintillating glimpse of hardcore transsexuality on offer. With HD videos, high-res photos, and some of porn's prettiest ladyboys, Femboy Fever just might be able to overcome its inexperience. Why not give it a helping hand?

Alan Stubbs' free transfer move from Celtic in July 2001 was a dream come true for a lifelong Evertonian. He had overcome testicular cancer at Celtic and took over from Richard Gough at Everton, partnering David Weir at the back in his first season, as the Club drifted towards the sacking of Walter Smith.
Stubbs was a rock at the heart of the defence, strong, committed, good in the air and a leader on the pitch helping Everton to Champions League qualification in 2005. Surprisingly Stubbs rejected a new contract at the end of that season and departed for Sunderland, but he returned to the club in January 2006 after just six months on Wearside. He settled back into the Everton side, again helping them to European qualification during 2006/07.
The arrival of Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott pushed him down the pecking order and he left for Derby County in January 2008. But Stubbs was to return once againas the under 21's coach, working under both David Moyes and Roberto Martinez before departing to become manager of Hibernian in the summer of 2014.
