Former Carolina Panthers coach John Fox will remain in a Charlotte-area hospital overnight Saturday after he became light-headed while playing golf.
Fox, who is now the head coach of the Denver Broncos, with a group of friends and family on a golf course near his offseason home when he started feeling dizzy, said team spokesman Patrick Smyth. The Broncos are currently on their bye week.
Smyth said Fox did not suffer a heart attack, refuting an earlier report by ESPN that Fox was taken to the hospital after he began experiencing symptoms of a heart attack.
Smyth said Fox was "in good spirits and undergoing additional testing at (the) hospital."
Later Saturday, Denver officials said Fox was being held in the hospital overnight for observation.
Fox is in his third season as Denver's coach after a nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers.

Losing Yourself In Relationships Has Its Upsides Too
I could have chosen to feel sorry for myself, give up and go home, but I didn't. Sometimes the lesson is in making the difficult but empowering decision. And sometimes we don't get what we plan, but most of the time; we do get what we need. I kept the open mind and embarked on a journey that taught me about myself, my strength, my level of commitment and my courage. I would say I became more spiritually connected to my higher self and the journey I took, back to me, was the gift I needed most.

Quartz Crystals left, Sugar Crystals right |
Last week, we learned about crystals. First, we took a field trip to the mountains where we found quartz crystal in a stream bed. Later, we looked at sugar crystals under the microscope. The kids were pretty amazed that sugar was made up of crystals that looked so similar to quartz crystals. The last time we went to the mountain, we had bought some rock candy. This time we didn't stop in the same shop so the kids had the great idea, "Hey, mom, can we make rock candy?!" Silly question. Of course we could make rock candy! (I have quite a sweet tooth. I should be much fatter than I am.)
This is how we did it. The only downside is that you have to wait 7 days to eat it. In all honesty our crystals were pretty small. It might have been wise to wait a few days longer, but we were so excited that we just had to try them. At least they were easy enough to make again in the near future!
What makes the crystals grow?
Two different methods will contribute to the growth of the crystals on the string. You have created a supersaturated solution by first heating a saturated sugar solution (a solution in which no more sugar can dissolve at a particular temperature) and then allowing it to cool. A supersaturated solution is unstable—it contains more solute (in this case, sugar) than can stay in a liquid form—so the sugar will come out of solution, forming what's called a precipitate. This method is called precipitation.
The other is evaporation—as time passes, the water will evaporate slowly from the solution. As the water evaporates, the solution becomes more saturated and sugar molecules will continue to come out of the solution and collect on the seed crystals on the string. The rock candy crystals grow molecule by molecule. Your finished rock candy will be made up of about a quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) molecules attached to the string.
from Exploratorium.com, a very awesome website
Floating M&Ms!
Another fun experiment is Floating M & Ms.
How To Do It:
Soak M&Ms (Skittles will work, too) in water and pay close attention to what dissolves and what floats!
What makes the letters float?
While soaking in the water, the candy shell dissolves. However, the white letters on M&Ms and Skittles are printed with edible ink that does not dissolve. So, the letters peel off and float. Too cool!

Two Sources Now Confirm That More Than 20 Members Will Oppose Boehner
From Breitbart:
In an appearance on CNBC, American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer said there are more than 20 House Republicans willing to vote for someone other than Boehner on Thursday when the 113th Congress convenes to elect a Speaker. Another source from a different organization has similarly confirmed that more than 20 have planned to oppose Boehner. Meyer and AMA correctly predicted Republican opposition to Boehners fiscal cliff Plan B" and the overwhelming House Republican opposition to Vice President Joe Bidens and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnells fiscal cliff deal that passed the House on Tuesday evening. Outgoing Louisiana Republican Rep. Jeff Landry made a similar prediction earlier in the evening, telling Breitbart News that between the required minimum 17 members and 20 were on board at that point. Despite rumors that he might do so, Boehner did not resign at a Republican conference meeting Wednesday night. The reason why some, including Landry, thought Boehner would resign Wednesday is because that group of members supposedly approached Boehner and offered him a way to avoid the public fight that will likely take place on Thursday. An emergency Republican conference meeting was called on Wednesday evening and Boehners decision not to resign sent a message to those who want to unseat him that he believes he will survive tomorrow's vote. Freshman Rep. Steve Stockman of Texas is on the record publicly stating hell oppose Boehner on Thursday, but the members also need a leader to rally around. Though there has been speculation that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor may emerge, his spokesperson would not respond to Breitbart News inquiries about whether he would. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy also would not go on the record as supportive of Boehner. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/03/Quiet-before-the-storm-Boehner-moves-to-the-right-to-try-to-keep-job

2. Shortly after convening at Noon. So the dude who was wrong yesterday is predicting today, too.
http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/03/16323916-first-thoughts-boehner-boxed-in?lite First Thoughts: Boehner boxed in .... ...like never before But he will still likely win re-election as speaker .... By Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Brooke Brower .... ...Boehner likely will once again win election as speaker. ... .... *** But he will still likely win re-election as speaker: As noted above, with todays start of the 113th Congress, the House of Representatives will vote to elect a speaker of the House. While it is likely that John Boehner will be re-elected as speaker, per NBCs Frank Thorp, we could see the first second ballot for speaker since 1923 if 16 conservatives decide to vote against Boehner. Thorp adds that the 113th Congress will convene for the first time at noon ET, after which the House will vote to elect the speaker. Members will be called by name alphabetically and asked for their vote. This vote is different than typical votes, which are done electronically during a set period of time. The speaker needs a majority of all votes cast to be elected. If all members were to vote, Boehner would need 217 votes, unless there are members who are absent for the vote, or members who vote "present" (for no one). By the way, it seems that the House No. 2 Republican, Eric Cantor, was caught selling out the king in the Sandy mess. Here was Christie at his press conference: I was called at 11:20 last night by Leader Cantor and told that authority for the vote had been pulled by the speaker. Just askin, but when Cantor decided to share with Christie his version of what happened to Sandy relief, did Cantor know Christie would go public? Remember all those stories about Cantor and Boehner becoming closer? Um, yeah how do you spell a-w-k-w-a-r-d? *************UNQUOTE************* |

9. The lead source is Ron Meyer
whose prediction that only 50 house repubs would vote for the fiscal cliff deal was off by 35 votes, which suggests one should take his predictions about who will and won't support boehner with a large dose of salt. The second source is unnamed. (A third source is an outgoing one-term tea party member of Congress who was redistricted out of a job by his own party. All of this is being reported by Beibart.
So I think I'll await some credible information. |

Children's Literature
This engaging title offers a child's eye view of the changes in one family as a mother suffers from and conquers cancer with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. The daughter Clare ostensibly keeps a journal in which she clips and attaches medical information of interest, sketches her dog and her butterfly experiments, and relates the changes in family activities and her mom's appearance and vigor. This collage-style book with whimsical drawings and what seem to be true-life photographs and drawings from the Spelz family covers the gamut of feelings related to having a parent with cancer and the physical progress of the disease and recovery. Set against a calendar of months and normal activities that have been disrupted or changed, the narrator discovers new skills and strengths in herself and her family. Particularly satisfying is a family round-up of the good things which came from the mother's cancer, such as discovering just how wonderful and caring other people can be and how a family where everyone supports each other can become even closer in adversity. Laced with humor and offering a realistic story of one family's journey through cancer, this book will answer children's questions while offering support and a vehicle for family communication. The back matter includes an excellent list of resources in text and on the web. 2003, Magination Press, Ages 8 to 13.—Elisabeth Greenberg

US 4017377 A Abstract Process, structure, and aqueous bath for recovering oil from tar sand, known also simply as oil sand. The process includes the steps of passing the tar sand through, or subjecting the same to a diluent, to reduce the internal fluid friction or viscosity of the oil layers surrounding each sand particle, and then bringing together the "sand", i.e. the sand particle plus its thinned oil layer, and an aqueous bath having a slightly raised specific gravity and also a wetting agent. The purpose for the wetting agent is to allow the sand particles to fall to the bottom of the processing tank as sludge. The raised specific gravity of the water, which is still substantially less than that of sea water, by the Archimedes' principle, causes the released globules or droplets of oil to be accelerated rapidly to the surface of the water, thereby escaping recapture or admixture with the descending sand particles. The now dilute oil is recovered, separated, and the diluent is reused in the tank. In-situ recovery by the above process and bath is likewise practicable.
Claims(8) 1. A process for recovering oil from tar sands including the steps of: providing tar sands; subjecting initially said tar sands to a non-aqueous, hydrocarbon, tar-oil viscosity-reducing diluent environment; providing a separating tank having an aqueous bath of ambient temperature condition not exceeding 100� F. and with a specific gravity greater than one but not exceeding 1.01, said aqueous bath including a wetting agent; directly introducing, for settling, said tar sands, containing diluent from said environment, into said aqueous bath immediately after said subjecting step, whereby to release oil from said tar sands to float upwardly in said bath in a quiescent area thereof; and recovering said oil.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous bath has a diluent layer disposed thereover, said subjecting step comprising dropping said tar sands into and through said diluent layer.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous bath is provided with an upper diluent layer, said subjecting step itself comprises the successive steps of, first, separately premixing said tar sands with diluent and, second, dropping said tar sands through said upper diluent layer.
4. The process of claim 1 wherein said diluent zone comprises at least one of the class of diluents consisting of gasoline and naphtha.
5. The process of claim 1 wherein said aqueous bath includes, for increasing said specific gravity, sodium carbonate in amount of the order of 1/8 ounce per gallon H2 O.
6. The process of claim 5 wherein said aqueous bath includes, as said wetting agent an equivalent of 41.5 Baume sodium silicate solution in quantity of from 6 to 12 drops per 8 oz. of water.
7. The process of claim 6 wherein the volumetric proportions of water, sodium carbonate, and sodium silicate in said aqueous bath is of the order of 280:1:4.
8. A process of separating oil from tar sands comprising the steps of: providing crushed tar sands containing entrapped oil; mixing as a mixture a non-aqueous, hydrocarbon, tar-oil viscosity-reducing diluent with said tar sands to reduce the viscosity and specific gravity of said oil; providing an aqueous bath of ambient temperature not greater than 100� F. for receiving said tar sands, said aqueous bath being provided with a wetting agent and having a specific gravity greater than 1, greater than that of said oil as diluted and not exceeding 1.01, whereby to permit silt and residual sands of said tar sands to be settled out, and directly introducing said mixture into said aqueous bath.
Description This is a continuation-in-part of copending patent application entitled "PROCESS AND FLUID MEDIA FOR TREATMENT OF TAR SANDS TO RECOVER OIL", Ser. No. 462,206, filed Apr. 19, 1974 and now abandoned. The present invention relates to processes concerned with the separation of bitumen or oil from tar sands. Tar sands have been studied extensively over the past two decades. It has been found that elemental tar sands will respectively comprise a sand particle encased in a water droplet, which in turn is provided with a spherical, bitumen or tar oil layer disposed about the sand and water. The bitumen may vary in character, depending upon where the tar sands are found. In any event, prior processes concentrate upon the application of hear in bursting the bubble of water about the tar sand particle so as to "explode" the bitumen bubble for separate capture. The necessity for the application of heat prevents a number of problems, not the least of which is expense. Also, because many of the fields are remote, accessible fuel supplies may not be available, or, if the recovered bitumen itself is used as fuel, the output is just that much reduced. Prior art processes are illustrated by the following United States patents: ______________________________________No. 2,903,407 (Fischer)No. 3,300,415 (Black)No. 3,547,803 (Barkman)No. 3,644,194 (Kelly)No. 3,660,268 (Kelly)______________________________________ The approach of U.S. Pat. No. 3,547,803 has been simulated as in the case of utilization of brine or sea water which approximates a specific gravity of 1.07, but the use of sea water precludes the settling out of silt and other fine granular matter; instead, a murky solution-like substances obtains which appears to preclude the generation of froth, despite attempts at aeration. In any event, elevations in temperature beyond that disclosed herein renders oil droplet recovery, even though such were recoverable therein, somewhat sticky, having a tendency to remain with the diluent as a brownish impurity. This precludes the clean-separation recovery accomplished in the present invention and also lowers usage of the diluent through needed recirculation, and this in addition to experienced loss of some of the water-soluble oils. As to aqueous recovery systems using normal water, much of the oil, even though separated from the sand by heat, will often sink and form part of the sludge that is removed from any operation system. Also, there has been the problem heretofore of maintaining the fluid oil droplets in a separated condition relative to the sands, even after the heat separation takes place. In the prevent invention no heat is needed in the method in order to separate the bitumen or tar oil, hereinafter referred to as "oil", from the tar sand particles. In fact, the process works best in cold water, a practical limit of operation is where the ambient water temperature does not exceed 100� F. and preferably where the water temperature does not exceed 90� F. Water temperatures above this cause recovered oil to become sticky and to prevent maximum recycling of diluent used since the latter will tend to carry the oil and, at such high temperatures, becomes brownish in color. Initial separation of oil from the sand is accomplished by a thinning of the bitumen or oil cover of each sand particle prior to the acqueous separation. The now dilute oil from the so-called sand particles are introduced in an aqueous bath of ambient temperature condition, i.e. not greater than 100� F., wherein the specific gravity of the water has been raised slightly, as indicated hereinafter, and a wetting agent introduced therein. The purpose for the inclusion of the wetting agent is to effect a dropping out or separation of the sand particle nuclei so as to cause a freeing of the dilute bitumen or oil. The purpose for raising the specific gravity of the water in the bath is to cause a rapid upward acceleration of freed oil droplets so that a maximum separation of oil from sand particles is achieved. Thus, the specific gravity of the water will be between that of the oil and that of the sand particles dropping out. The pre-mixing of the diluent with the tar sands can be accomplished in a separate premix step. Another way that is providing successful experimentally is simply to drop the tar sands through a diluent layer as may be disposed on top of the water bath. A third way is to combine both the premix or pre-soak step with the step of dropping the now soaked tar sands through an upper diluent layer carried by the water. Whatever one of the above approaches is used, the wetting agent's function in penetrating the thinned oil layer of the sand particles and in freeing the water layer and ultimately the sand particles themselves, for droppage as slude into the tank, plus the rapid acceleration induced in the now-freed oil droplets as caused by the increased specific gravity of the water, assures an essentially complete separation of oil from sand and enables optimum oil recovery proximate the surface of the aqueous bath. As to the wetting agent, sodium silicate is preferably used; optionally, Treato-lite or another type of wetting agent may be employed. In making the water heavier, preferably soda ash, known generally as anhydrous sodium cabonate is used. Optionally, common table salt, i.e. sodium chloride, might be used, howbeit considerably less effectively. As to the diluent, naptha and/or gasoline are preferred since the low-boiling character of these petroleum fractions enable a self-vaporization possible without the application of heat, therefore facilitating automatically a clean separation of recovered oil from diluent. Other suitable diluents are stove oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene. In-situ recovery may also be practised. Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new process for treating oil sands or tar sands, as they are known, to free and separately recover the oil therefrom. A further object is to provide a new and improved tar sand, oil recovery process which does not require the application of heat. an additional object is to provide a process for recovering bitumen from tar sands wherein oil is freed from its particles and ensured clean separation from particles as it ascends into an appropriate diluent bath. A further object is to provide an aqueous solution for the recovery of oil from tar sands. The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The present invention, both as to its organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which: The sole FIGURE represents a schematic diagram of the process of flow sheet of one embodiment of the present invention. Either the separate pre-soak step or the aqueous bath's diluent layer may be deleted as aforesaid, if desired. In the present invention, as shown in the drawing, a preferred initial step is to pre-soak crushed tar sands in a diluent. The diluent may comprise one or more of the following by way of example, naptha, regular gasoline, diesel oil, stove oil, kerosene, and so forth. The lighter diluents such as naptha and regular gasoline are much preferred since much less is needed of these lighter fractions; furthermore, these will tend to vaporize at customary ambient temperatures so that a clean separation of diluent from recovered oil, as hereinafter desribed, may be obtained without the application of heat. Of course, if one chooses to apply some heat at the separation step, to accelerate separation of diluent from oil, he may still do so within the purview of the invention. It is convenient to use the same type of diluent or mixture of diluents in both the pre-soak equipment utilized for such initial first step and also at the diluent region in the process tank as disclosed. It is noted that crushed tar sands are introduced in this initial step. This should be of the order such that a majority of the pieces are less than 11/2 inches in maximum rectilinear dimension. Of course, the finer the sands are crushed, and even ground, the greater the rate of throughput possible. Also, if the sands are crushed such that a majority of the same pass, say, a minus 10 screen mesh, then the sands may be directly introduced advantageously into the process tank without a prior pre-soaking. Nevertheless, even here a pre-soak, from perhaps a few seconds to one half hour, is desirable to obtain a maximum recovery at a maximum throughput rate. In any event, we now come to the primary step which is to introduce the tar sands into the process tank such that the same progressively fall through the diluent layer contained in such process tank, to achieve disposition in the lower aqueous region of the tank. Here, the diluent layer, if employed, may comprise one or a mixture of known solvents, but preferably consists of naptha, gasoline, or a combination of the two. It has been found that the lighter the specific gravity of the diluent used, the greater effect in decreasing the viscosity of the oil layer surrounding each sand particle. As to the aqueous region within the process tank, the same should have an increased specific gravity over that of plain water (H2 O), i.e. 1 gm/ml. A preferred way of increasing the specific gravity of the water is to introduce soda ash therein, namely, anhydrous sodium carbonate. The proportion by volume should be 1 ml. of soda ash to 280 ml. H2 O. The so-called "light" soda ash is used having a density of 49.5 pounds per cubic feet. Permissible variations are from 0.2-2.8 ml. of soda ash for each 280 ml. of plain water. Of course, common table salt may be employed, but this has proven experimentally less satisfactory than the utilization of soda ash. The water must be less than 100� F. in temperature and preferably less than 90� F. The most desirable results are obtained where simply cold or tap-temperature water is used, this so that the released oil droplets will not disperse through the diluent employed. Rather than using a specific gravity raising salt, as above explained, heavy water (H2 O2) may be used, howbeit considerably less effectively. Also to be added to the water in the tank is a wetting agent such as sodium silicate or a substance known by the tradename Treato-lite, by way of example. Sodium silicate is preferred. The sodium silicate employed is a sodium silicate aqueous solution having the following characteristics: 1.401 specific gravity 41.5 Baume 11.67 lbs./bal. 38.3% solids It has been found that the range of permissible usage of the sodium silicate solution is quite restricted and should be from 6-12 drops per 8 oz. of water, 20 drops thereof equalling 1 ml. or 1.36 grams. As to the soda ash additive, making the specific gravity of the water greater than 1, the same is added such that the specific gravity of the final solution is much less than that of brine or sea water (1.07) and indeed cannot exceed 1.01. If such a figure is exceeded, then there is no clean separation of oil from silt and sand since the silt present is precluded from sinking to the bottom of the container. The wetting agent has proven in experimentation to serve uniquely in permitting the sand particles of the tar sands to drop to the bottom for withdrawal as sludge. The function of the diluent layer in the tank is to further lower the specific gravity and decrease the viscosity of the spherical oil layer, and this immediately prior to entrance of the oil sand particles in the aqueous region. When the sand falls into the aqueous region, the wetting agent coacts with the diluent-plus-oil droplets in effectively freeing the spherical oil layer from the water layer that encases the sand particle. Such wetting agent has been found extremely effective, during such separation, in thus effectively freeing the sand particles from the released oil droplets so that the sand immediately falls to the bottom of the tank. The increased specific gravity of the water is relied upon to ensure that the now formed oil droplets bubble upwardly very rapidly and therefore ascent immediately to the diluent region of the tank. If the water's specific gravity had not been raised, much of the oil would actually descend in an admixture state with the sand to the bottom of the tank. Optimum results are achieved when the wetting agent such as sodium silicate is of the ratio of 4 ml. to each 280 ml. of water. Subsequent steps are shown in the drawing. Thus, the oil plus diluent are recovered and then separated into respective fractions of oil and diluent. This may be accomplished simply by the natural vaporization of the diluent from the oil under ambient conditions. Final steps are to separately recover the oil and also to recover and recycle the diluent back to the process tank. The following tests made are illustrative: Uniform amounts of crushed tar sands, approximately filling an 8-oz. cup, were placed in each of 6 containers labeled No. 1-No. 6. 114 ml. of clear diesel fuel as a diluent was premixed with the tar sands. Then 116 ml. of an aqueous solution (No. 1) was added to containers No. 5 and No. 6 and the latter agitated for 30 seconds. The aqueous solution contained one drop, per ounce of water, of 40% sodium silicate solution and 1/8 oz. of soda ash per gallon of water. (here equalling a specific gravity of 1.001). In a separate container 50 ml. of Great Salt Lake brine water was diluted to 150 ml. of cold tap water to approximate the concentration of ocean water, and this (No. 2 solution) was added to containers No. 2 and No. 3 which were agitated for 30 seconds. All containers were allowed to stand for approximately 3 minutes. 160 ml. of warm solution (No. 1) above described, at 90� F. was added to container No. 4 and such container agitated for 30 seconds. Agitation was used to shorten the time of stratification and separation. Containers No. 5 and No. 6 received additions of the above described (No. 1) aqueous solution, including the soda ash and sodium silicate as aforesaid. Container No. 1 received 150 ml. of warm, equivalent ocean water (No. 2) and agitated for 30 seconds. All containers were then allowed to stand for 3 minutes. The following results were obtained: Containers No. 5 and No. 6 showed clear separation and stratification of oil at the top, clear water in the center, and fairly clean white sand at the bottom. Container No. 4 showed excellent clean separation and stratification of tar and oil on top, clear water in the center, and fairly clean white sand at the bottom. Containers 1, 2, and 3 showed slight incomplete separation, sands were not clean in appearance, and the water and oil emulsion which resulted did not separate. The crux of the present invention, therefore, is to provide a solvent whereby to reduce the viscosity and specific gravity of the oil trapped in a tar sand particle, and then raising the specific gravity of the water bath such that its specific gravity is between that of the now dilute oil and that of the sand particle. Hence, upon supplying the necessary wetting agent to effect an initial separation of the sand particle from the oil, then the dilute recovered oil bubbles rapidly upwardly through the water, whereas the sand drops down. The lighter the diluent, such as naptha, the more effective the separation. The subject invention therefore provides a novel method and composite agent whereby oil may be recovered from tar sands in an inexpensive manner and without the application of heat at the process tank step. The character of the water bath within the tank is such as to assure, by virtue of the Archimedes' principle, that the freed oil droplets are rapidly accelerated upwardly to the diluent layer contained within the tank so that these droplets are not carried down by descending sand particles. Further, the sand particles themselves are initially separated, and are retained in their separate conditon by virtue of the wetting agent as aforesaid. Thus, the basic feature of the invention is in the process of introducing tar sands into an aqueous solution of specific gravity greater than one and also having a wetting agent. As to the diluent needed, the same may be either premixed with the crushed tar sands, or comprise an upper layer disposed over the aqueous bath, or both. Finally, an advantage appears to exist where there is an admixture of diluent with the sands immediately prior to entrance of the sands into the water bath; hence, some preference is given to practising the method where the aqueous bath has a diluent layer disposed thereover. Where in-situ recovery is to be practised, as by production of a rubble chimney below grade, then the above described aqueous solution may simply be pumped into the fractured tar sand area. The viscosity of the sand in its natural state, in possibility, can be sufficient such as to producing a bubbling upwardly of recoverable oil from the tar sand deposit therebelow. Where the deposit is of the usual hard or dense-bitumen nature, then one of the above diluents can be pumped first down into the tar sand area, such step being followed by a pumping down or other introduction of the aforesaid aqueous solution or bath in such area. While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects, and, therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

Family sells-off final property from original 3,000 apartment portfolio.
The Kislak Company, Inc. recently completed the $26.9 million sale of Olde Forge West, a 123-unit apartment building located at Max Drive and Speedwell Avenue in Morris Township, New Jersey.Jeffrey P. Wiener, president and co-managing director, brokered this sale on behalf of his long-time clients, Ronald and Anthony Giancristofaro. Robert J. Holland, senior vice president and co-managing director, represented the buyer, a large pension fund.
Olde Forge West is located in an upscale area of northern New Jersey, convenient to the vibrant downtown of nearby Morristown, New Jersey and within commuting distance of New York City. The apartment complex consists of one, two and three-bedroom units in colonial, garden-style buildings situated within park-like grounds.
The Giancristofaro's provided Wiener and The Kislak Company with the exclusive right to sell Olde Forge West. This investment sale transaction marks the final property to be sold that was originally part of a portfolio of over 3,000 apartments throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California and Florida. The portfolio was owned for over 30 years by the Giancristofaro's.
"My long-term relationship with Ron and Tony is based on trust and loyalty, something that I personally pride myself on and one of the cornerstones of The Kislak Company1s success in the investment sales marketplace. It is not everyday that I encounter such nice, down-to-earth people. It was truly a pleasure getting to know them and working with them," said Wiener.
"Over the years, Kislak was instrumental in helping the Giancristofaro's buy and sell most of their multi-family portfolio.
"More recently, given the unprecedented demand in the market, we sold the majority of the portfolio. This has not only been a long-lasting friendship with the Giancristofaro's, but a great business relationship as well," he added.
"The Giancristofaro's were able to turn their first purchase of a nine-family cold-water flat in Jersey City into a significant portfolio of outstanding properties across the country. I am thrilled that we were a part of their success. "

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A local veterans group has been raising money to support the wife and children of Sgt. Robert Bales, the U.S. soldier accused of killing 17 Afghan civilians.
"They will need it all," said Carlos Alameda, Veterans of Foreign Wars state commander, who was introduced to the staff sergeant at an event before he deployed. "They will need more than that."
The Tacoma News Tribune reported Sunday that the group's chapter in Tacoma raised nearly $2,000 for the family earlier this month.
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 91 in Tacoma also arranged for Kari Bales and her children — a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son — to ride in a float during the Daffodil Parade.
The children got a kick seeing characters and a fire truck at the parade staging area, said Elmer Clark, the VFW post commander.
Bales is charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. The military says he left his base in southern Afghanistan and went on a nighttime shooting rampage through two villages on March 11. Nine of the dead were children.
Kari Bales and the children were moved from their Lake Tapps home onto Joint Base Lewis-McChord over concerns they might be targets for retaliation when Robert Bales' name went public March 16.
Bales is being held at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
VFW officials said they're simply carrying out their mission, even if it involves a military family thrust into the brightest of spotlights amid allegations of the most serious war crime committed by a U.S. soldier in the decade-long conflict.
"It's helping other veterans or families that have a need," said Tom Darling, the veterans organization's state chaplain. "We have done a lot of things like this in the VFW."

Tags: graduation, prayer
I've been in situations where prayer was TOTALLY inappropriate and I have complained.
I hope that somehow you can and maybe will complain.
I just can't believe the college felt it was appropriate and that they didn't think they'd be in some sort of legal trouble.
I hope my university doesn't invite anyone of faith (pastor, Imam,rabbi) etc to lead us into prayer.
I doubt it would happen since we're a pretty diverse campus. We have a pretty decent Muslim student population.
It was not a gradition that I went to but a MLK remembrance ceremony. They had a pastor speaking and a choir singing. I was a bit shocked because I thought that the "higher-ups" would have used rational thinking in their decision making about college events, lol, I guess I was wrong. I left close to the end when they wanted everyone to stand up, hold hands, and sing old slave hymns.
I have to say though that the african american churches were a favorite of mine to visit when I was a christian.

Great Sports Watch This is a very nice advanced function affordable sports watch. Face is glass, large and easy to read. Plastic watch case is much lighter than anticipated, so it should be great for active sports. All functions work as described, although watch band looks to be a bit flimsy. Time will tell if it survives weekend rides, hikes, and climbs. Overall, a nice watch for the price.

Fox Orders More 'Napoleon Dynamite' & 'Allen Gregory,' 'Torchwood' Gets Good Start on Starz & More TV News
According to Vulture, 'Gregory' received an order for six new scripts and 'Dynamite' got seven.
More script orders could happen this fall if Fox continues to like what it sees.
Look for 'Gregory' to premiere Oct. 30 after 'The Simpsons' traditional 'Treehouse of Horror' special. 'Dynamite' is set for mid-season.
In other TV news ...
Fox Pilots Snap Judgment: Our First Reactions to the New Shows
This is designed to get you excited for some new shows ... and to warn you to curb your enthusiasm for others. Just keep in mind that we'll have full reviews of the final pilots closer to airdate, in the fall or midseason. For now, here are our snap judgments of all of Fox's new shows for the 2011-2012 TV season.
There are seven shows total -- the good ('New Girl'), the bad ('I Hate My Teenage Daughter') and the why-the-hell-did-this-happen (animated 'Napoleon Dynamite') -- and plenty of varying opinions from Mo Ryan, Maggie Furlong, Jean Bentley, Chris Harnick, Alex Moaba, Alexis Moore and Laura Prudom.
Here's how we're breaking these down:
Watch It - awesome show, can't wait for more
Skip It - it's either horrible or just totally not their thing
DVR It - there's potential, will give it a second chance
Fox Announces 2011-2012 Schedule
The long-delayed 'Terra Nova' finally gets its official debut this fall, with the Steven Spielberg-produced dinosaur show airing Monday nights at 8PM before 'House.' 'The X Factor' takes over 'American Idol''s time slot, and will help launch a new comedy on Wednesday nights.
Another interesting tidbit to note: 'America's Most Wanted' has been discontinued as a regular TV series; after 23 years Fox has decided to bring back the show in the form of occasional specials.
Check out the full lineup after the jump.
'Napoleon Dynamite' Cartoon Series Coming to Fox
According to the Live Feed, the original cast members -- including star Jon Heder -- will be lending their voices to the cartoon. 'Simpsons' veteran Mike Scully, along with Jared and Jerusha Hess, are writing and executive producing the project.
Fox has also ordered another teen-targeted cartoon, this one from 'Superbad' star Jonah Hill and 'Yes Man' writers Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul.
'Napoleon Dynamite' Animated Series Headed to FOX
When it comes to comedies, FOX knows where its bread is buttered: animation rules; live-action series fail miserably. Thus, it's not surprising to hear that the network is developing a new 'Napoleon Dynamite' series as its latest animated endeavor.
Based on the cult 2004 movie, the pilot will feature the original cast members -- including Jon Heder as the title character, Aaron Ruell as Kip Dynamite and Jon Gries as Uncle Rico -- voicing their animated counterparts. Also involved are Jared and Jerusha Hess, who wrote and directed the original film. To what extent they will be involved is unknown. Most likely they'll be special advisers to the project to make sure FOX doesn't totally botch the feel of the characters and the environment.
Whether or not this animated version of 'Napoleon Dynamite' will be picked up hasn't been determined. Should it be greenlit for a future television season, it will be interesting to see where it's placed on the schedule. Does it usurp a spot on the network's Animation Domination lineup, or will it anchor a new night of comedy? Stay tuned.

- 6 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- Healthy
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 whole sprigs, plus 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 6 (3-inch) strips lemon zest, cut from 1 lemon
- 1 small head fennel, thinly sliced (2 cups), fennel tops reserved
- 1 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed

- A 2-3 inch piece Parmesan rind, optional
- 2 carrots, sliced (1 cup)

- 3 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, plus extra for passing
- Lemon juice
1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the onion and crushed red pepper flakes and cook until the onions begin to soften, 5 minutes. Meanwhile, tie the parsley sprigs, lemon zest, and fennel tops together. Add the herb bundle, broth, 2 cups of water, and, if using, the cheese rind. Bring to a very gentle simmer and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones in large strips, and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, add the sliced fennel, carrots, and celery to the broth and season with salt, to taste. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are just tender, 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles and cook until just al dente, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved chicken, baby spinach, and Parmesan until the chicken is heated through and the spinach is wilted.

Next time i won't add the parm rind because it left melted cheese on the bottom of my pot. i'll only use the grated parm as a garnish. I added a couple of pinches of salt and pepper to adjust the seasoning for me. No harm since we used low sodium broth.
i added sausage tortellini's instead of the noodle. the spiciness of the meat added another welcome flavor layer.
i also used a 1/2 of cooked chicken instead of the breast meat, only because that is what i had on hand. It still tasted great.
next time i might try kale as an alternate to the spinach. But the spinach did taste great.
i got a pizza dough from my local pizza joint and baked it with rosemary, sea salt, and evoo; quick and easy fresh bread to serve with this excellent soup.
i'll make it again for sure.
