The FAMILIES! website from K-State Research and Extension is designed to share research-based educational information for enhancing the quality of personal and family life in communities throughout Kansas as well as the nation. We hope you take time to browse through our web pages to find resources that could be helpful in your daily life, whether it be with family, friends, co-workers, or other persons with whom you are connected in the community.
If you are a Kansas resident, your local K-State Research and Extension office can give you assistance with family-related resources. They can provide you with the materials listed under publications and other information as requested.
When you talk to a friend in person, on the phone, or email and text messages, you may share and listen to each other about the small details of what's happening in your individual lives and how you are feeling about it. The same thing needs to happen with family members that are very special to you. Couples who have lived together for many years may think they know everything there is to know about the other person. However, we are are constantly growing and changing, and our reactions to what is happening around us change, too. Unless that is continually shared, a spouse or other family members may have no idea about those changes.
Young couples who have an active and growing family can run into the same problem, thinking they don't have time to share and spend time with each other. That can be dangerous to a partnership as they may find themselves growing apart and not turning to each other when challenges arise. Having a deep friendship helps us turn toward-rather than away from-a special person during both good and bad times. That is important for long and enduring relationships.

Eli Martinez
March 11, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- Georgia soccer head coach Steve Holeman has announced the addition of two players with international experience to the previously released nine-member incoming class for the fall of 2014.
Joining the Bulldogs for the upcoming season will be goalkeeper Louise Högrell – a starter for the Sweden U-19 national team – as well as Florida native and midfielder/defender Eli Martinez of the Honduras U-20 squad.
Högrell comes to Georgia after playing with the U-19 team in her home nation of Sweden. Having made 13 appearances, she helped the squad qualify for the European Championship last summer, and was three times named the team's most valuable player. She also guided her club team to the Swedish Cup in 2012 and her high school team to two national championships.
"Louise is a very dynamic keeper," said assistant coach and goalkeepers coach Henry Zapata. "She's explosive off her line, good in the air, and quick to get to ground. Her vision and ability to distribute will be a great asset to our style of play. Her international experience will make her transition to the college game seamless."
Martinez will join the Bulldogs after time with the Honduras U-20 squad. Born and raised in Honduras, her family moved to a Miami suburb when she was 13. With the national team, Martinez recently attended an international tournament in El Salvador, competing against teams from El Salvador and Guatemala. Her club team – Weston FC – is currently ranked No. 1 in Florida and No. 25 in the nation.
"Eli is quick and scrappy and can play almost anywhere on the field," Holeman said. "Her technical speed is excellent and her defensive aggression is relentless. We are thrilled to add another outstanding player to this year's class."
Before the addition of Högrell and Martinez, Holeman's 2014 recruiting class was already ranked No. 10 in the nation and No. 3 in the Southeastern Conference by TopDrawerSoccer.com. The highly-touted class will supplement a returning group of three seniors, six juniors, and 15 sophomores.

This static visualization shows that the global carbon cycle is determined by the interactions of climate, the environment, and Earth's living systems at many levels, from molecular to global.
In this video from the Polaris Project Website, American and Siberian university students participating in the project describe their research on permafrost.
In this video, adapted from KUAC-TV and the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, viewers learn how one-celled organisms in permafrost may be contributing to greenhouse gas levels and global warming.
This article and slide show from the New York Times, features several scientists from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who study the effects of thawing permafrost in Alaska.
This interactive follows carbon as it moves through various components of the carbon cycle.
The U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2008 (USDA GHG Inventory) is a comprehensive assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and sinks in U.S. agriculture and forests. The USDA GHG Inventory provides extensive, in-depth emissions and sinks estimates for livestock, cropland, and forests as well as energy consumption in livestock and cropland agriculture.
This report systematically examines the market readiness of key technologies important to meeting climate change mitigation goals. It assesses the barriers and business risks impeding their progress and greater market application. The report was sponsored by the U.S. Climate Change Technology Program (a multi-agency group led by the U.S. Department of Energy) and was submitted to the President and Congress in January 2009.
An assessment of abrupt climate change events where key aspects of Earth's climate system change faster than the responsible forcings would suggest and/or faster than society can respond. This report examines four types of abrupt change in Earth's past that were so rapid and so large in their impact that if they were to recur today they would pose clear risks to society in terms of our ability to adapt.
A synthesis of the current knowledge of North America's carbon budget and its context within the global carbon cycle. This report provides scientific information for decision support focused on key issues for carbon management and policy.
The findings presented in this report draw from scenarios designed to stabilize the influence of a suite of greenhouse gases. Three climate-modeling groups independently developed a reference scenario and then developed four contrasting stabilization scenarios for comparison.

Pregnant actress Ali Landry feared she'd have to scrap a TV interview on Monday morning and dash to hospital after experiencing contractions on the set of Access Hollywood Live. The TV star was waiting backstage at the live show when her baby reminded her she was a month away from giving birth. Landry says, "They're […] [Read More]

Abdo: Another Army rejection letter
I came back from vacation this morning and wasn't at all surprised to see another rejection letter in the mail from the Department of the Army. It came from the service's Criminal Law Division and told me in no uncertain terms that it may be a long, long time before we know more about what the Army […] [Read More]

While watching the inauguration on TV with some of my agency co-workers Tuesday, I was struck by the realization that this historic event, in addition to representing a sea change in America's socio-political dynamics, also represented a remarkable example of lost workplace productivity for an economy that is already staggering under the weight of a recession of unprecedented proportion.
Even if you concede that, statistically speaking, in the neighborhood of seven percent of the million or so employment-aged souls massed between the steps of the Capital Building and the Washington Monument no longer have jobs to go to, that still leaves a significant number of inaugural attendees who were presumably workplace MIAs.
Whether you regard that phenomenon as a sign of optimism that things will get better soon, or indicative of a "things can't get much worse, so I may as well call in sick and take in the spectacle," attitude isn't really important. What is important is to realize that a new administration alone isn't going to make things right. Now that the inaugural flags have been folded, the bunting stowed, and the echoes of the newly elected president's speech have faded, it's up to "We the people" to get back to work, grab a metaphorical shovel, and do what we can to help dig our way out of this economic mess.
For me, that means looking for every opportunity to enhance my value to my agency and to our clients. Taking on additional responsibilities. Delivering more than what's expected. Working harder, smarter—and yes, even longer—if that's what it takes to keep the revenue spigot flowing. In an economic environment in which it's becoming a privilege and a blessing to still hold a job, how could anyone feel good about doing anything less?

Couple arrested for assault, child abduction
Sanford Steven Mull, 53, and Kim Morgan Mull, 49, both of Big Island Road in Forest City, were taken into custody by Cleveland County deputies after breaking and entering into an Ellenboro residence, assaulting the residents and abducting a child on Tuesday afternoon.
Shortly before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, deputies with the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to Asheland Drive in Ellenboro in reference to a domestic dispute.
According to a report filed by deputies, the Mulls arrived at the home of John and Shirley Morgan, where Kim's 8-year-old daughter was staying, and forced their way into the residence in an attempt to take the child.
During a dispute that broke out, the child ran outside and the Morgans were able to push the Mulls back outside, the report advised.
Once outside, Sanford Mull assaulted John Morgan by striking him in the face, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement. Kim Mull also assaulted Shirley Morgan while outside, according to the report.
John Morgan was taken by ambulance to Cleveland Regional Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries and later released. Shirley Morgan did not receive medical attention.
The report further stated that the Mulls got the child in their vehicle and left the residence.
After further investigation by deputies, information obtained led to an address on Lake Houser Road in Cleveland County. Deputies with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office were contacted and located the Mulls and the child at the Lake Houser Road residence Tuesday evening.
The Mulls were turned over to Rutherford County deputies and subsequently taken to the Rutherford County Detention Facility.
The Department of Social Services was also contacted to get the child back to Shirley Morgan, who has legal custody.
Sanford Mull and Kim Mull were each charged with abduction of a child, felony breaking and entering and assault and battery. They remain in custody at the detention facility under $46,000 secured bonds.

I loved the idea that I really did not have to worry about how much XP per hour I was getting and could focus on exploring and doing interesting missions.

Grind is excessive repetition. Quests are reduced repetition, by varying activities. Pretty straightforward.

And that was a very common complaint, people simply didn't want to grind when there was an alternative, the relative non grindiness of wow was one of it's major selling points and celebrated feature.
Also how many posts do you see everyday with people saying "Bring back xp gaps so we have to grind!" or "Reduce quest xp or remove quests, i want to just grind!".
The wow (or singleplayer rather) style quest feature/system is horrible, outdated and archaic for an mmo today but it is a huuuuuuuuuuge step up from pure meaningless grind which is why it was implemented in the first place. The next huge step is going to be GW2's dynamic events, fixing so many problems that are inherent in the singleplayer inhereted quest-system.

Just because more people play WOW then play Risk, doesn't make Risk not as much fun..
Thats like saying, more people have seen the grandcanyon, then have been to the moon.....does that mean the grandcanyon is a better view? no...deffinitly not.

Instead point out actual reasons why it has so much subs in comparison to other mmos like the poster below you.

You are comparing two things with unequal value.
Now compare the local restaraunt that has been around for 7 years with the new restaraunt that just opened up. You only have enough money to go out to eat once a month. On the one hand you have a restaraunt that has been around for a while, has evolved its menu to fit the demands of the customers and has reliable service and is clean. Now on the other hand you have a new restaraunt with its new cuisine, but maybe the menu is missing some of those favorites you were hoping for, maybe the waiter is new and gets some of the orders mixed up, and maybe the place isn't as friendly as the old place.
10 million players have chosen to enjoy the menu that has evolved to fit their tastes, with reliable service, and a well polished place to enjoy it. They may be eating the same food, but they are enoying it, have many friends who eat there too that they can sit and have dinner with, and they are comfortable knowing that tomorrow the restaraunt will still be there and still serve their favorites.
Stop acting like everyone who plays wow is some bottom feeding moron who is being zombified into playing a shitty game because they are hopelessly addicted.
Risk may suck to many people so it being fun is not definitive.
Someone may find the view of the Grand Canyon with its many colors, winding waters, and wildlife more appealing than a grey rock floating in a black void with white dots in the sky.
It is all subjective and your opinion isn't the one in which the world runs itself.

My favorite part is when he says "Do we still need old FPS games to come out? I SAY YES!"
This is relevant to the discussion because old school MMORPGs are subject to time passing just as much as old school FPS. We just need old school developers to make old school games and then we need to buy those games to support them and get as much advertising for them as possible.
Really wish there was a Dark Age of Camelot 2 but there may never be one. I'll just have to wait for some kind of old school throwback to come along and support the brownies out of it.
Big gaming companies who make games like Call of Duty just don't make games like Serious Sam, Tribes, id software shooters, or Duke Nukem. They focus on competitive esport gaming. Even id software does that now with Quake 3/QuakeLIVE and failed then dropped out of that contest to make RAGE to lick their wounds. It takes small indie companies to make awesome pointless games just for fun because that revolves around ideas that may not make money whereas competitive esport gaming does.
The difference is a long time ago the only games were made by small indie companies who risked sticking their necks out in gaming industry fields that were new like the first internet based games. There is plenty of information you can find on startup companies like that. Meridian 59 has a game history page for example that says they were one of the first internet games programmed by a formal computer science major. Imagine that.
Now that we have big gaming software companies it's their job to crush their competition (that's just business) so obviously the small indie developers can't compete with the shear amount of software those machines can pump out so they get crushed. That's just life apparently.
No other way around it. Just have to support the indies. Course it's really hard to when the big companies offer such well polished content. One good example is I supported Trine 1 when the developers said they would make a coop option in the game if enough people liked it. So I bought and supported Trine 1 by gifting the game to other people through Steam and told people about it. There is now a Trine 2 with 3 player coop (and it's awesome and I love it). Feels good to make a difference with my wallet!

Quests are the stupidest, most boring and braindead crap combined with instances I've ever experienced in MMORPGs and yet more and more games are having this poor excuse of game design.
Really hoping ArcheAge will feel this void for us.
Bad examples for comparison. CAN you get to the moon? I certainly do not have the capability. A 5 star restaurant gets that rating from a few critics, not the populace. Have you ever voted to give a 5 star rating? Does your 5 star rated restaurant have plates with a tiny spot of food with lots of pretty squigglies on it for a main course charging $100 for "the experience"?
Now, back to WoW. I don't think it is the greatest game ever. However, 10,000,000 people find it fun enough to subscribe. Check the underlined portion in the quote. This is not a statement about how great a game is, it is a point about what people find "fun". I tend to believe people vote with their pocketbooks. If they are having fun, they play a game. If not, they quit. Kind of a simple way to gauge if people are having fun playing a game, don't you think?
Remember, it is not a question about whether or not *you* (or I or anyone else personally) think it is fun. It is about what other gamers (en masse and in general) find fun.

The 30-40 Champions online PvE was pretty decent, getting up there was rather painful though. I still find that game incredibly broken as all hell, but the monster island theme, and the end of the world theme were actually pretty decent.
The iconic sense of mmo questing, really never made any sense to me unfortunately. It just seemed rather pointless to have to run back to the appropriate npc after every quest. I mean really, how is dumbledore going to know if I killed 10 whatevers? Collection quests do make sense, but then that leaves me to ask the question, since when did Heros become an errand service?

Thing is to make gameplay more interesting than just killing respawning mobs and allow players to group up in open world and not punishing them for it (nowadays if I group up with someone who is not on the same quest either I have to repeat quests I already done with him or he has to).

As an example, the fastest you can level in WOW is by grouping (and you can spend 40-99% of your time grouping, depending on your class role.)
And ironically running dungeons 99% of the time in WOW sometimes doesn't feel a whole lot different than the old Endless Monster Grind (which is actually a strike against it, even though it's my favorite way to level.)

Now in the McDonalds addage I don't see why it doesn't work. Just take the money in the food anolgy and turn it into the game anolgy it equals time.
So WoW (you hop on for 30 minutes and play) way less time then say FFXI where you can to play for like 3hrs (short for hours)
and Mcdonalds you buy a burger for 2 bucks....whereas you go to a nice place you'll pay 30.00 for that steak.)
Its honestly the same thing, And saying that more people play WoW = more fun...its very narrow minded of you. (i'm calling you thick in the head)
I added the pictures so maybe this time you can follow along.

The Senate easily defeated a Republican amendment on Thursday that would have let employers opt out of providing any health care coverage that they say violates their conscience or religious beliefs, agreeing to set it aside by a vote of 51 to 48.
The death of the controversial amendment, offered by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., to transportation legislation, is unlikely to end the acrimonious battle over women's health. "This fight is not over. I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of Congress to protect the rights that make our nation great," Blunt said after the vote.
Blunt offered the amendment last month, just before the Obama administration came up with a work-around to rules saying all employers must cover birth control free of cost to women as part of any health insurance offered. Some conservative and religious groups wanted an opt-out for religiously affiliated groups, such as hospitals, but rejected President Obama's compromise.
Democrats largely have used the issue to say Republicans are restricting women's access to health care; Republicans say the administration is infringing on religious freedom. The fight has not split purely along party lines, however.
The contraception battle has also dominated the campaign trail. On Wednesday, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said he opposed the Blunt amendment during an interview on the Ohio News Network. His campaign quickly walked back those comments, saying Romney supported the amendment.
Most Republicans aren't eager to keep focus on a birth control battle that Democrats view as a political winner. Senate GOP leadership aides say they want to turn the focus back to jobs and the economy, using high gas prices as a way to needle Obama.
House Republicans haven't moved quickly to undo the contraception rule. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has not scheduled a markup of legislation similar to the Blunt amendment, despite House Speaker John Boehner's pledge to repeal the contraception rule last month.
Senators took to the floor ahead of Thursday's vote to voice their positions on the contraception vote. One surprise came from Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who said she would support the Blunt amendment because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius did not clarify how the rule would apply to religiously affiliated employers who pay for their own health insurance.
"Sadly, the administration once again skirted the answer," said Collins, whose 2011 voting record National Journal rated most-liberal among Senate Republicans.
Sebelius made an unusual public statement opposing the amendment Wednesday night.
"Any employer could restrict access to any service they say they object to. This is dangerous and wrong," Sebelius said.
"The Obama administration believes that decisions about medical care should be made by a woman and her doctor, not a woman and her boss. We encourage the Senate to reject this cynical attempt to roll back decades of progress in women's health."
Four senators crossed party lines. Democratic Sens. Robert Casey of Pennsylvania, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Ben Nelson of Nebraska voted against tabling the amendment. Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, who announced her retirement on Wednesday, was the only Republican to vote to table the amendment.

The Things They Carry: Lessons by Jay Z and Beyoncé
Or rather, filtered through the minds of Leandra and Amelia
When I saw Beyoncé gyrating around her little black chair on Sunday night during her opening number at The Grammys, I felt 50% better about my short hair. This, even in spite of how much I like my short hair.
When Jay Z came out, knees bending, hands jiving, microphone held so close to his lips one was left to wonder where his mouth began and the mega speaker ended, I felt 60% better about having married a man who can not only rhythmically bop his knees as well as the former but who I really, really love. This, even in spite of how good I feel about what is indubitably the best decision I have made.
But when the patriarch of hip hop and the empress of everything else exited stage left, the former's arm over the latter's shoulder, a piece of me shriveled and putatively died.
And I could tell that I wasn't alone. America was left to question its capacity to love — scrutinizing what we'd done wrong and they've done right, own personal romantic championships notwithstanding.
I watched that close-up Grammy-cam hone in on the spectators' reactions as evidenced by their facial expressions, which, in line with mine, said it all: How the fuck did Beyoncé and Jay Z manage to pull this off? The this in question, of course, is everything — the empires and camraderie and family they've built in tandem. That they are not just, as the title of their collaborative track would suggest, "Drunk in Love," but are also sober in love, spectacularly in love, so selflessly and selfishly and unilaterally in love that they actually have the ability to make perfectly happy couples in their unwitting peripheral feel like they're missing the secret sauce is a point of their victory that I am determined to wrap my head around.
Which is precisely why, by gleaning the information Amelia and I have culled from observing the two and asking anyone who is willing to answer what they believe might be a paramount blueprint of their universal success, we have made it our business to understand how Jay Z and Beyoncé have seemingly become the sole benefactors of that early 2k zeitgeist-y book, which neither of us have read, The Secret.
So without further ado, a list:
1. Don't throw all your eggs into the Susan Miller basket. I know it's tempting but if they'd have listened to her theory on why Saggitarians (Mr. Z) and Virgos (Beyoncé) are an unfortunate match, they'd have probably had to settle for lesser versions of one another. I am now feeling really conflicted about having agreed to stay home on New Years Eve like she told me to.
2. The anonymous albeit extremely wise and opinionated "they" say that once you get married you should never stop dating. Well, remember that time Jay and Bey were not only on a date, but sat on the same side of the table and then sang Coldplay's "Yellow" to each other? That's exactly what "They" are talking about.
3. Try to get Oprah to council you on your relationship. Oprah gave Beyoncé great advice to never talk about a relationship (just like Fight Club!), B took it to heart, and it worked. This is Oprah's phone number, good luck: 1-888-943-8696.
4. Put meaning behind the word "lover" and have sex. (Safely!) If you're wondering how we inferred this from Beyoncé and Jay Z's notoriously private marriage then I encourage you to re-listen to her newest album and revisit this here point.
5. You and your partner may just need nicknames. Sometimes he's Hova and she's Sasha Fierce. Sometimes he's that double hand diamond symbol for short, and she's Bey. Nicknames become especially handy when considering role playing for tip #4. We would also like to point out that nicknames make life more fun, not just relationships.
6. The conspiracy theorists in us needs to point out that they can't really trust anyone else except for each other at this point, but trust is important in any relationship. If you trust someone so much that you're willing to fall blindly into the unknown, that's love, man.
7. They are immune to jealousy. If you were Beyoncé, who would you be jealous of? No one. Same goes for Jay Z. This is harder for regular humans, so pretend you're one of them and let your self-esteem rise. (This works great at job interviews to. Walk in there like Hi, I'm Jay Z, and I rule at literally EVERYTHING. Bam, you just got a job.)
8. Jay Z doesn't awkwardly try to belt notes that he couldn't reach and likewise, Bey isn't freestyling over sampled tracks. They let each other do what they do best, allowing their drinking partner in love to shine.
9. They're role models and they understand that. This keeps both of them on the straight and narrow — no drugs, no prostitutes, no public drama, which, if you ask us, sound like three pretty solid things to avoid in relationships and daily life no matter what letter your name starts with.
10. Somehow they are completely and utterly grounded. Considering they're the celebrity equivalents of high school sweethearts, a lot of their deep roots can probably be attributed to growing up in the spotlight together. They've been able to keep each other tapped into what's most important, which is, at the end of the day, a record deal. Just kidding. It's love. EL OH VEE EE, love.
It's important to remember though, you don't need to be in a relationship to apply these tenets. Amelia, for one, is quote single as fuck unquote. Run the world because you can.

Currently, if you were to surf Best Buys online store for smart televisions in the screen range between forty two inches and fifty five inches, you may notice the average price range for such a television is anywhere between eight hundred dollars and seventeen hundred dollars. With rumor to believe an Apple smart television is on its way, the retail price is suggested to be anywhere between fifteen hundred and two thousand dollars which means you will be paying a much larger amount solely for the big Apple logo slapped on the Television set.
Now, the reason why Apple has not yet tried to make way into the Television business just yet is because, well, it is simply not the companies forte nor something they desperately need to focus on. However, with this being said the rumored Apple Television is still just that, a rumor and until we hear more from Apple directly we must cross our fingers and hope Apple will come out with something genius to set them selves apart in the Television market.
Jame McQuivey gave his own opinion on his Forrester Research Blog stating the following:
"Here's me putting on the record what I've been telling clients behind closed doors for more than a year: Apple should sell the world's first non-TV TV. Instead of selling a replacement for the TV you just bought, Apple should convince millions of Apple fans that they need a new screen in their lives. Call it the iHub, a 32-inch screen with touch, gesture, voice, and iPad control that can be hung on the wall wherever the family congregates for planning, talking, or eating — in more and more US homes, that room is the dining room or eat-in kitchen. By pushing developers to create apps that serve as the hub of family life — complete with shared calendars, photo and video viewers, and FaceTime for chatting with grandma — this non-TV TV could take off, ultimately positioning Apple to replace your 60-inch set once it's ready to retire."

We've been going to and picking up and having delivery from Boston Pizza for years and years. The gyros are amazing as are their pizzas including the white pizza with garlic. Their tuna grinders are terrific as are all their salads.....fries...cheesesteak...Always consistent

The BEST Tuna Grinder in Philly. Come on... who else gives you fresh green peppers on your hoagie! Great gyro. Wonderful cheese fries, made with real cheddar cheese. Delish slice. My fav whole pizza is the Boston Special (but w/out the anchovies. I'm Irish and that is just punishment). My daughter and I went to Ireland for a couple weeks and the first place we went for a Philly meal was Boston Style for a mushroom cheese steak w/ Herr's chips. ...and no, I am not the owner nor related to that wonderful family.

Only wish they were working at normal speed instead of slow-mo. Seems like the service and prep staff are in another world.

Good food at a good price. A nice place to have in the neighborhood.

Food is good, have been going here for a while. It sounds like someone who owns (or manages) the restaurant wrote the first review for each Boston Style Restaurant. It's just a regular pizza place.

Been going to Boston Style for a few years now and have never been disappointed! Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection and the taste is superb! I can honestly say it is my favorite deep dish pizza! =) I highly recommend!

Corzine gives back funds to donor charged with fraud
Posted By Michael Symons On August 28, 2009 @ 7:16 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Gov. Jon Corzine and the Democratic State Committee this week gave up campaign contributions they had received from Democratic Party fund-raiser Hassan Nemazee, a New York City based investor arrested Tuesday on charges he tried to defraud Citibank of $74 million by lying about his assets while trying to secure a loan.
A growing number of Democratic Party officials [1] have been moving to either return past donations to Nemazee, as Corzine did Wednesday, according to campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith, or give the money to charity, as the DSC will be doing, according to party spokeswoman Alescia Teel.
Nemazee — who is free on a $25 million personal recognizance bond — donated $1,500 to Corzine's re-election bid in July 2008. He gave $2,500 to the state Democratic Party in 2002.
BTW: According to a New York Times story [2] about Nemazee's arrest, he was interviewed Sunday about the alleged fraud by the FBI at Newark Liberty International Airport, where he was about to check in for a flight to Rome.

Any Happy Gilmore fans? Seems to me that Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio is very Shooter McGavin: I'm going to be at the game so it's hard for me to get a post up timely after the game. And win or lose, I'm usually tired. So I'm putting this post up before the game, […] [Read More]
