Lone & flocking legal eagles
In the turnpike corruption case, one deputy attorney general sits alone at the prosecution table across from nine defense attorneys.
Those defense lawyers in hearings to date often have separate arguments.
That contrasts sharply with the virtual army of prosecutors the Attorney General's Office sent to court in Bonusgate and Computergate trials in 2010 and 2011.
Particularly in the case against House Democrats — where former Democratic Whip Mike Veon of Beaver County was the highest-profile figure — more than a half-dozen lawyers and agents would frequent the courtroom. That was a full-blown trial with super high stakes for former Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett, who was running for governor. Corbett won both the governor's race and the trial. Veon remains in prison for overseeing a scheme to award legislative staffers with taxpayer-paid bonuses for campaign work.
In a pretrial hearing on the turnpike case last week, Senior Deputy Attorney General Laurel Brandstetter squared off against nine defense attorneys, the vast majority with serious experience in criminal law. There are six defendants remaining in the "pay to play" portion of the case involving allegations of bid-rigging and bribery.
During the Bonusgate trial, Veon's attorney, Dan Raynak, constantly complained about the large prosecutory team. It was paid for with tax money, the very thing at issue in the trial, Raynak said.
Attorney General Kathleen Kane, when stung by criticism about the scuttled sting case, cites a list of public corruption cases she has pursued that includes the turnpike. She's a Democrat. The defendants are Democrats. And to her credit, she pursued it upon taking office in 2013. She dismissed the legislative sting — an informant doling out cash to lawmakers — last year for an array of legal reasons she claims made it "unprosecutable."
She's fulfilling a campaign promise to investigate why Corbett took almost three years to charge serial predator Jerry Sandusky. Her investigation of the investigation to date has taken about 14 months. The salary, benefits and expenses paid to a law school professor to compile the report cost $120,000 so far, Pennlive.com reported last month.
Don't be surprised to see Kane, in her report, comparing hours and costs of Bonusgate versus the Sandusky case.
At trial, some argue having a "second chair" is essential, if for nothing else than organizing the case, handling matters such as lining up witnesses. "Can you do it yourself? It's very difficult," said Bruce Antkowiak, a former federal prosecutor who teaches at St. Vincent College.
There's another school of thought that appearing by yourself, against a team on the other side, creates a strong impression on the jury.
It suggests you're the underdog, said William C. Costopoulos, a defense attorney. The second lawyer might do cross-examinations, handle expert witnesses or do the opening, Costopoulos said.
Is it essential? "Not at all," he said.
On her own now, Brandstetter was the lead attorney in Veon's second trial where he was convicted for misusing tax money that went to a nonprofit. She was paired with prosecutor Frank Fina in that 2012 case.

BRADENTON, FLORIDA -- On Monday Dec. 10 we left a prescription from our doctor off at 12:00 P.M. We were told it would be ready the next day after 2. I told her that was fine as we didn't have to have it the same day. The following day I called to confirm pickup and was told it wouldn't be in until the next day (Wed) after 2pm. On Wed I called and was told it wasn't ready yet as they were busy!!!!
If they cannot fill a prescription in a reasonable amount of time they should have told us so we would have gone somewhere else. I think this is very unreasonable and will have to think of somewhere else to go for our prescriptions. If they don't have enough people working there they should hire more people. This isn't even the BUSY SEASON when all the northerners are here??? This happened at the Cortez Rd. Walmart in Bradenton Florida in December of 2012.
TUCKER, GEORGIA -- My husband who is 82 years old took two prescriptions to be refilled at the Tucker, Georgia WalMart Pharmacy, which he didn't realize refill date had expired. ** called his doctor several times before being able to reach her, and then called him at home to let him know they had been approved and would be ready for him to pick up. We appreciate her kindness to him so much - She is an asset to your Company. We have had good experiences with the Pharmacy employees at Tucker.
ALAMOSA, COLORADO -- Two weeks ago I dropped off 6 prescriptions at store# 0869 in Alamosa, CO. One scrip required pre-approval from my insurance company. I had to make 2 trips back into town for a total of 100 miles. No big deal, but my problem started when I registered for online access so I can refill online when I need to. Walmart's website took my information and what happened afterwards was too stupid to comprehend.
The website stated the following: patient can't be found, date of birth is incorrect, prescription numbers invalid, and store number can't be found. Bear in mind, I had just had 6 pres. filled with 3 refills on all of them totaling a years worth of prescriptions. I then called Walmart's customer service number 6 times and was told by 5 reps that I'm not in the system. One representative said she found my info but can't understand why I'm not able to access my prescription history. I was told I have to go back to the store and talk to the pharmacy manager and have them reset my account.
I went in this morning and talked to the manager and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. I had also e-mailed Walmart 4 times and kept getting the same response that I must input the correct information. I called Walmart's main HQ in Bentonville, AR and was hung up on when I tried to explain the problem. The store has my info on file correctly, as the pharmacy manager went over with me to ensure the correct info was in the system. Looks like I'll be transferring my prescriptions to another company since not one single person is willing to help.
WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS -- There is a very rude foreign guy that's the pharmacist. He cussed at me and told me he was going to hang up on me all because I was questioning why no one faxed my mom's doctor to refill her meds. Needless to say I kept saying I would like to talk to someone over him and he kept saying he was the boss that no one was over him. So I asked for manager he hung up on me. So I called back to report him and spoke with store owner that said he was going to take care of it. I was very pleased with their managers there taking care of this. This man was awful.
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON -- My wife had a prescription filled last evening in a WALMART pharmacy (Vancouver Washington) which had been charging $15 for a three month supply and was charged nearly seventy dollars (they originally quoted $81.) She is on a three month supply program at a fixed rate and this was such a surprise she just paid it in a daze, not my style,
I wanted to go back and make a scene (my style) but she is far more reserved than I am. She asked I do not embarrass her in a public place but this is about WALMART ripping off a customer and that customer is my wife. I went to WALGREEN's asking about how much they would charge for the same quality and quantity. They told me about thirty dollars for three month's worth, our business will go to the competitors in the future.
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON -- I arrived at Walmart and went right to the pharmacy to give my new prescription. There was not a person waiting so I was pleased that my medication would be ready soon. I went shopping and returned 1 1/2 hours later and my prescription had not even been started. It wasn't because of lack of help, since there were 4 women and a man back there, plus a checker. I will never go to that pharmacy again. They make Safeway Pharmacy look great.
CLIO, MICHIGAN -- It is very sad when you go to a pharmacy to get your meds and have to wait 2 hours. They told me it would be 30 minutes. I was not the only one who had to wait. It was ridiculous. I asked what was taking so long. I was told they were busy. The pharmacy at Walmart which I have gone for 10 years in Ohio was wonderful. The Walmart pharmacy in Clio, Michigan is horrible. I have had to have 3 scripts filled at different times and it was always the same. The computer was down, someone was on lunch, etc.
This past Saturday was the last straw I will not go there again. They have two Indian pharmacists, I am not pointing fingers at races, but they are extremely rude. On Saturday I guess someone was on lunch and I waited for 15 minutes for them to even come and take my script. The pharmacist told me just a moment three times. No explaining that someone was on lunch just you have to wait. When he did come to the window he again said I was just going to have to wait.
Finally after I was upset he took my script, and again went on and on..I finally told him to just stop I was mad enough at his rudeness, well he then tried to grab my arm. I am not sure why. I told him not to touch me.. Finally he said it would be 20 minutes due to my saying I hope I don't have another 2 hour wait.
While waiting I did some shopping to come back to seeing him tell the girl associate about me. I was not a happy lady. I told her I was not going to bite her head off. Only the rude pharmacist. As I was leaving I told him what I had seen. He tried to get me to come back to the pharmacy by calling ma'am, ma'am... I ignored him.. Needless to say this Walmart has lost my business. I will try the one near Burton, Michigan on Belsay Rd... Hopefully I will have better luck. Stay away from Walmart in Clio, Michigan.
LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS -- I made a mistake of having my prescription filled at a WalMart pharmacy. Sure, it's cheap, and the pharmacist is a nice guy who does a great job. But leave it to the WalMart management to screw up every shopping experience.
The business card for the WalMart pharmacy says that the pharmacy is open 9am-9pm Monday through Saturday. To make sure, I called the number as well, and the opening hours were listed as 9am to 9pm on the answering machine.
Yet, when I got to the store in Lynn, MA at 1:40pm in the afternoon on a Friday, the pharmacy was closed. There on the window there were the same business cards listing pharmacy hours as 9am-9pm, yet the window was closed shut. A small sign said that the pharmacy will close for lunch 1:30pm-2pm if there is only one person working. There was no schedule showing how many people work in the pharmacy on any given day. People waiting for the pharmacy to open said that this WalMart has been closing the pharmacy in the middle of the day for years - but it never bothered to update its pharmacy business cards or correct the message on the answering machine.
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE -- Walmart 2020 Gunbarrel Road, # 250, Chattanooga, TN 37421 Dates: 10/12-10/14 2009. Monday 10/12/09 @ 5:37 pm I got in line at the pharmacy to pick up my Rx. At 6:10 pm I was told it would be 15 min more by the cashier. At 6:25 I got back in line. My Rx was ready, however a customer in front of me needed a refund. A CSM was called, where she proceeded to take 45 min in attempting to do a refund tying up the only cash register. After 45 min, she told the customer that she could not do the refund.
By this point I was infuriated and said in a very calm voice I wanted my Rx rung up. She then proceeded to change register tape. I told her I did NOT want a receipt, I wanted to leave. It was now 7:10pm. I only got half my Rx as that was all they had. This was 1.5 hrs to get half my Rx. On 10/14, I got back in line at 5:50pm. Told again that it would take 15min. to get the other half of my Rx ready. The pharmacist called for a member of management twice in 30 min and no one showed up.
I went to the front, asked for a manager. A CSM took me back to the pharmacy and tried to get my problem fixed. A store manager was called. She spoke to the CSM about what was going on. He explained what I had told him. She walked right by me without a hello or an apology. Needless to say, 1.5 hrs later, I finally got ALL of my Rx. 1.5 on 10/12 and 1.5 on 10/14 is 3 hrs to get one Rx. Do you see where I have a problem with all this?
My wife and daughter were diagnosed with H1N1 on Friday 10/9. I spent 3 hrs away from them waiting for an Rx.
I find this to be unacceptable under ANY circumstances. I was given an apology only from the cashier. It was neither her fault NOR her responsibility to provide an excuse or an apology. That is what they pay their managers for and they failed in that capacity. Please give me one, just one, reason why me, my family or anyone I know, should ever get their Rxs filled at Walmart Pharmacy ever again?
Decided to give Walmart a tumble with new prescription. Went in, gave script to pharmacist. They had 6 of the pills in stock (prescription calls for 2 pills per day.) They said come back in a few days for the rest. (I live 20 miles away) I said no but I was going to another town with a Walmart so could I have the script back... They said they would put in computer and any Walmart could access it. So I said OK.
2 days later went to Walmart in Grand Rapids, MI and asked for prescription.... They couldn't find it in computer, had to call Adrian store (15 minutes wasted) then when they found it they didn't have the medicine (fosinopril the generic for Monopril....common as rocks.) I told the pharmacist to either get into the drug business or get out because they were pissing off a lot of people.
Then I tried their mail order prescription filling service.... days go by, no meds, I call them.... "What's going on?" They tell me can't fill for two more days because of insurance and I ask why they didn't call and inform me of that.... duh. I called Bentonville (Walmart home office) and explained all this to them. They said they would have a representative call me.... a month now and I'm still waiting for the call. Bottom Line... Walmart Prescription service is a bad joke..... avoid at all costs.

When leafy greens and summer squash are served straight from the garden under a setting sun, who wouldn't want to eat their vegetables? Medway Community Farm on Aug. 27 will host its first Farm to Fork Fundraiser – a farm-to-table dinner with fresh food prepared by a professional chef and paired with beer and wine.
When leafy greens and summer squash are served straight from the garden under a setting sun, who wouldn't want to eat their vegetables?
Medway Community Farm on Aug. 27 will host its first Farm to Fork Fundraiser – a farm-to-table dinner with fresh food prepared by a professional chef and paired with beer and wine.
A combination of comfort and appreciation comes with knowing where produce was grown and who grew it, and it is even better when enjoyed right on location.
"(The farm) opens people's eyes. It's two young farmers, and they do a fantastic job," said Mary Ellen Slater, the farm's marketing director. "The quality of the food is amazing, and it's a real treasure for Medway to have this farm."
The fundraiser will benefit Medway Community Farm – 10 acres tucked away on Winthrop Street – and help to complete farmhouse renovations. The town owns the land, which it leases to the nonprofit farm. A board of directors oversees its operations. Medway residents purchase crop shares and enjoy the yield. The farm is run by Brittany Sidway and Kevin Overshiner.
"The mission is to heighten awareness of the benefits of local food, and the benefit of this particular event is everything is going into the educational center, which is an old farmhouse that is being restored," said Slater.
The renovated farmhouse will have a community kitchen for classes and educational programs throughout the year for both adults and children, as well as a place for the live-in farmers to call home.
"(The farmers) are living in a trailer next to the farmhouse, and the hope is for them to ultimately live in the upper floor," said Slater, who hopes the farm will raise enough money to have the farmhouse completed for next year's growing season.
The farm has never before held an event of such proportions, Slater said, but it has been expanding and is now ready to increase its community involvement and programming.
"Our desire is to celebrate the treasure we have in the Medway Community Farm, to honor our amazing farmers and the incredible community of support we have through our (Community Supported Agriculture) members and many volunteers, staff and the town of Medway," said Jeanne Raffa, the farm's board president.
The Farm to Fork Fundraiser - on Aug. 27 from 6 to 10 p.m. - will include entertainment provided by Little Jed and the Phat Daddies, a band from Millis.
Chef Ben Lacy will prepare a pig roast paired with seasonal vegetables grown at the farm, and served with Peak Organic Beer, two Chilean wines and champagne. Vegetarian options will also be available.
Tickets are $75 and can be purchased through Tastings Wine Bar and Bistro, 201 Patriot Place, Foxborough, by calling 508-203-9463.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

iHerb Customer Reviews
After trying several different varieties of Tulsi, this one is by far preferred.
As I write this, the product is sold out, and I'm not surprised. This tea has such a wonderful, delicate flavour. I enjoy it in the evening after dinner, or just while relaxing. I don't even take the leaves out, and I've found that it never gets too strong, and is never bitter. Highly recommend this tea. It definitely has that basil flavour to it, but basil is one of my favourite herbs, so it's perfect for me.

Following yesterday's news that a new vulnerability had been found in the Apple iOS mobile platform, one security company has predicted that hackers will exploit it via Twitter.
The vulnerability was discovered and used by a hacker known as Comex to build a jailbreak app for the latest iOS version.
The jailbreak enables users of Apple's mobile devices to download tools that haven't been approved by Apple.
Security company F-Secure said on its blog that hackers could use microblog site Twitter to exploit the vulnerability, but that hackers were more likely to use the vulnerability to annoy users than infect them with malware.
"We can easily imagine hackers tweeting links directly to jailbreak PDF files. When somebody clicks on such a link from their Twitter app, it would open Safari – as Apple doesn't allow for other default browsers – and then Safari would attempt to view the PDF. And then... jailbreak."
With the iPhone and iPad devices in particular seeing a greater level of penetration into the enterprise, these security concerns will come as bad news to IT departments.
Once jailbroken, the iOS is considered by security analysts to be more at risk from malware.
F-Secure advises Apple users to be cautious when visiting Twitter until Apple patches the vulnerability.
"You might want to be very careful what you click on between now and the time Apple releases iOS 4.3.4."

Spokane rallies past the Storm
Spokane won its fourth straight game, this one a hard-earned 55-52 victory over visiting Tampa Bay on Monday night.
Erik Meyer tossed five touchdown passes and added another rushing. Terrance Sanders scored on a kick return and interception return and the Shock defensive line pretty much took over the game in the fourth quarter.
My unedited game story is below.
Spokane snags road win against Tampa Bay
Spokane took control in the fourth quarter, holding Tampa Bay scoreless on its last three possessions, to register a 53-41 AFL road win Saturday.
Erik Meyer tossed six touchdown passes and added two more TDs rushing. Brandon Thompkins had 127 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Derrick Summers finished with three sacks and rookie defensive back Bryant Nnabuife had his first interception of the season.
Game recap below.
Shock rally past Storm, 63-49
It looked like a repeat of the first meeting for a while, but Spokane found its stride late in the first half and rallied for a 63-49 road win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Erik Meyer tossed seven touchdown passes, five to Brandon Thompkins, as Spokane avenged a 70-62 loss to the Storm in April.
Game recap below.
Shock back to work in Tampa Bay
Spokane returns to the field tonight against Tampa Bay in a rematch of an April game that was won by the Storm, 70-62, in Spokane.
Here's my game preview and another from Florida. The big question: Will Storm quarterback Adrian McPherson play? He missed Tampa Bay's last game two weeks ago with a knee injury. The Shock expect McPherson to be in the lineup tonight.
Shock can't overcome sloppy first half
Spokane played its worst half of football of the season, fell into a 28-7 hole and couldn't complete a second-half comeback as Tampa Bay posted a 70-62 victory Saturday at the Arena.
My unedited game story is below.
Shock suffer first loss

Shock, Storm set for AFL clash
Good evening from the Arena where No. 1 Spokane (5-0) and No. 4 Tampa Bay (3-2) meet at 7.
The Shock will be without 'Jack' linebacker Terence Moore (shoulder). DB Patrick Stoudamire will step in as the starter. WR Jeffrey Solomon (shoulder) is suited up after missing the last two games. Game preview here.

Shock finish season with home victory
Spokane closed the AFL season with a 63-53 win over Tampa Bay on Saturday at the Arena. The victory gave Spokane a 10-8 record and put an end to the playoff hopes of Tampa Bay (8-10).
Here's a link to my game story that will run in Sunday's S-R.
Storm rough on Hansen, Shock
Spokane dropped to 4-6 with a 51-42 home loss to Tampa Bay, which turned its pass rush loose and overwhelmed fill-in quarterback Casey Hansen. S-R article here.
Shock, Storm tangle
It should be an interesting one tonight when Spokane, with Casey Hansen under center, and Tampa Bay, with Brian Zbydniewski at the controls, collide tonight at the Arena.
Hansen joined the Shock earlier this week after the team lost quarterbacks Bill Stull and Kyle Rowley to injuries last Saturday. Tampa Bay cut Mike Potts, who started in the season opener, then lost Grant Gregory to injury about a month ago. Gregory is back, but ex-Shock reserve Zbydniewski has started the last three games, including a win over Kansas City last week.
Here's my game preview.
Tampa Bay coach steps down
Tampa Bay's Tim Marcum, the winningest coach in AFL history, stepped down this morning, three days before the beginning of training camp.
Last month, it was reported that Marcum had pornographic and racist emails on his work computer, after he was deposed in a lawsuit involving the team's former owner, Robert Nucci.
Marcum guided the Storm to the ArenaBowl championship last season, falling to the Spokane Shock at the Arena. Spokane entertains the Storm on May 20th.
Day after ArenaBowl
I just exchanged text messages with Shock majority owner Brady Nelson, who spent the night in the hospital while his team was winning ArenaBowl XXIII. Texted Nelson: "Just heading home. A win sure helps."
Nelson said NFL Network wasn't available at the hospital, so he listened to the radio broadcast and got updates from his wife, who stayed in touch with general manager Adam Nebeker during the game.
On the field, Spokane dominated, 69-57. Only Milwaukee (72) and Orlando (75) scored more points against Tampa Bay this season. Spokane's 69 points tied an ArenaBowl record (San Jose in 2004, Chicago in 2006).
Bunch of reading material this morning and an update on AFL teams that appear to be on the move. A recap of S-R coverage: Game story (nice headline - Rookies of the Year), Chris Anderson's photos, Nelson's surgery and John Blanchette's column. A quick fix to my gamer: Brookins replaced Mulder (not Teems). Here's a recap on arenafan.com and another here.
On the relocation front, league sources indicated that three franchises could have new addresses next season — Alabama to Atlanta, Bossier/Shreveport to New Orleans and Oklahoma City to Seattle. Atlanta seems to be a lock (more here) with the other two scenarios likely. The addition of Seattle and San Jose would give the AFL five western teams (Spokane, Utah, Arizona). San Jose, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are joining in 2010.
Shock leave no doubt in ArenaBowl
The Spokane Shock finished off the Arena Football League season in style Friday, thumping Tampa Bay 69-57 in ArenaBowl XXIII at the Arena.
The Shock earned the AFL title in their first season in the league, which returned from a one-year absence in 2009. Spokane did the same thing in the franchise's inaugural arenafootball2 season, winning the 2006 ArenaCup.
You can read my game story here and my sidebar on Shock majority owner Brady Nelson missing the game to have an emergency appendectomy. Here's a game story I filed for the Tampa Tribune and another in the St. Petersburg Times by the S-R's John Blanchette.
Shock put it all on the line
All kinds of stuff to post tonight. First, here's my game preview that will run in tomorrow's S-R. Here's the view from the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune, Here's a look at the starting quarterbacks for Friday's game.
If you have an ArenaBowl ticket, then you also have a ticket for the Washington State-Montana State season opener. More here. The Shock's successful first season led to a couple of proclamations from Spokane and the State of Washington.
The AFL announced Rod Windsor as rookie of the year, Les Moss as coach of the year, Danny White as assistant coach of the year, Gabe Nyenhuis as defensive player of the year and Chris Greisen as offensive player of the year. If you're scoring at home, the Shock didn't win any of the eight player/coach awards.
Marcum, ArenaBowl, expansion and lawsuits
A variety of items to pass along this morning.
Here's a link to my article on Tampa Bay coach Tim Marcum, who was in on the AFL's ground floor and has been winning ever since.
Not much in the way of ArenaBowl articles out of the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area, but there was this on a lawsuit involving Marcum and a former team owner against another former team owner.
Arenafan.com opined on the AFL old guard vs. AFL neophyte angle. Earlier in the week, arenafan.com had a comprehensive look at ArenaBowl facts and figures.
The AFL has plans to bring back an original AFL franchise, Pittsburgh, the Tribune-Review reported. Pittsburgh would be the fourth addtion to the 2011 season, along with San Jose, Kansas City and Philadelphia.
More on the incoming Storm
The ArenaBowl matchup is set: AFL neophyte Spokane vs. AFL traditional power Tampa Bay.
The Storm, seeking their sixth AFL title, beat Orlando 63-62 in a wild finish that underscored the value of accurate kickers and the nuances of the arena game (a late Predators touchdown came when a pass intended for Bobby Sippio instead hit the goal post — or the netting, according to one article — and bounced back into the arms of teammate T.T. Toliver). This will be ArenaBowl 23, and Tampa Bay will be playing in its ninth title game.
All the details of Tampa Bay's victory can be found here, here, here, here and here. Find the Tampa Bay-Orlando game stats here. And here's the address to a Storm blog in the St. Petersburg newspaper.
We'll get the S-R coverage rolling with a visit to Shock headquarters Monday.

How often do you think about Sam Cassell's injury in the 2004 playoffs — a hip thing, I think, right before the conference finals against the Lakers? Flip Saunders: All the time. It was his hip. He made a shot out of the corner against Sacramento in Game 7 [of the conference semifinals], and he did his little Big Balls dance, and from that, he created a little avulsion fracture in his hip. No question, I think about that dance all the time. But that's the NBA. I went to four straight conference finals in Minnesota and Detroit, and we had injury issues in each one. The team that wins the title is usually the healthiest team.
In five years working under Flip Saunders and Randy Wittman, Cassell was able to see the Wizards rise from league-wide laughingstock to a legitimate playoff contender. Wall and Beal both credited Cassell for helping them improve. Wall ranks second in the league assists and third in steals and Beal has been slowly recovering from a left wrist injury that kept him out the first nine games. "It was great," Cassell said of working with Wall and Beal. "I don't think John had a great playoffs last year. He was solid. He was solid. Like I always tell him, 'John, you're the best decoy we can have.' It's just not him scoring the ball, it's all the other intangible things John Wall brings to the basketball court that's going to make him one of the best guards in this league."
Pierce's move to Washington was the most stunning non-LeBron free agent decision last summer, but it became a source of amusement a few weeks later when the man who helped make it happen was gone. "I couldn't be around for him," Cassell said with a chuckle. Pierce "understood my situation when I explained it to him, my situation. He understood it. Him being a professional … he understood it. Did he get pissed off? I don't think he got pissed off, but he gave me some jabs."
David Aldridge: Was Washington your first choice? I heard all summer you wanted to go home to L.A., to the Clippers. Paul Pierce: Obviously, this is my first time in free agency. I really didn't know where I was going to end up. Truthfully, I thought I was going to end up back in Brooklyn, with Kevin [Garnett]. I told Kevin, if you're not going to retire, then I probably will come back. But when Brooklyn didn't give me an offer, it was like, I talked to him, and I kind of started looking at my options then. I thought I probably would end up with the Clippers with Doc [Rivers], but they wound up signing Spencer Hawes [and using the full mid-level exception] at the time. That's when Sam Cassell gave me a call, shortly after Trevor Ariza signed with Houston. That kind of happened so fast. He signed, and Sam called me, and [asked] what I thought. We both were in Vegas at the time, talking on the phone. Then met him for lunch. Then met him again for dinner. It took some convincing, because I never really thought about Washington. It just wasn't on my radar. But I started thinking about it, and everything he was telling me, based on what they did last year, the guys they have here, he talked about the culture, he talked about Coach [Randy Wittman], Ernie [Grunfeld, the GM], talked to him.

Supportico Lopez has the pleasure to announce "The Word Today Serves No One Except To Say To The Grocer Give Me A Pound Of Lentils", a group exhibition that features new and historical series of works that reach from traditional to extended practices of painting and is determined to serve as a declaration of intention.
The status quo of contemporary art critically refrains from making painting, possibly emanating from its traditional identity and complexity, or perceives painting in all as a commercial tool, that is certainly not detached from its toxic esthetical value and, bluntly speaking, decorative power.
is painting Tizian?
Can painting be considered complicated?
Is painting a major means?
Supportico Lopez is pleased to announce Go and Come Back a group show with works by Julian Beck, Marco Bruzzone, Henri Chopin and J Parker Valentine. The show takes place in Venice, California at Paradise Garage; the two galleries have swapped venues for one month.
Go and Come Back refers to the way we keep people and places close to us on our journey. Supportico Lopez brought the name of a little, chaotic Neapolitan street to Berlin and now to LA. Julian Beck and Henri Chopin have been part of our journey since the beginning and we are happy to present a selection of their production on the occasion of this show. The idea of a cyclical process, with the possibility of going further and coming back, and without deconstructing or deleting the entire process, is central to the work of J Parker Valentine. The photos on the wall are of shadows sculpted on a bathroom floor. They create an uncanny experience always on the edge of nearly becoming something, someone, then again someone else, in a space between memory and imagination.
Marco Bruzzone works in a place between art and life, and during the last four to five years has focused on the politics of food. Food sustains our bodies, but is itself alien; functioning in our memories as a symbol and sustaining memory itself. Perhaps memory is nothing but food, reorganized. On Bruzzone's flag presented here, a coffee bean seems to levitate in a state of suspension, as though it were hanging on a wall as a curio or relic in a museum, like something that had a meaning somewhere in a different time.
At the age of 18 Julian Beck dropped out of Yale in order to paint and write in his home city of New York. Less than two years later, in 1945, he would earn his first exhibition ever, "Art of this Century," alongside Rothko, Pollock, Motherwell, Kline and De Kooning, at Peggy Guggenheim's groundbreaking gallery. He would continue to exhibit at other important venues (MoMA in New York, Pittsburgh International Carnegie Institute, Bernard-Ganymede, and Tibor de Nagy) until 1958. Although inspired by the prominent group of abstract expressionist painters he was associated with, fascination with Beck's lively paintings derives from his extensively varied techniques and styles. He preserved his "autodidact's willingness to try anything"; Go and Come Back exhibits a selection of drawings and a painting realized between 1944 and 1952.
Henri Chopin (Paris 1922 Norfolk UK 2008) was an avant-garde artist, poet and musician, widely considered to be a pioneer in the recognition and distribution of sound-poetry. Henri Chopin was a little-known but key figure of the French avant-garde during the second half of the 20th century. Known primarily as a concrete and sound poet, he created a large body of pioneering recordings using early tape recorders, studio technologies and the sounds of the manipulated human voice. His emphasis on sound is a reminder that language stems as much from oral traditions as from classic literature, of the relationship of balance between order and chaos. His personal production — consisting of typewriter-poems and sound performances — is an inspired attempt to open the medium of poetry into a form described by Chopin as 'a poetry of spaces': demonstrating 'the sensory superiority of sound as opposed to normal speech, and [...] free man from the straightjacket of words and letters and from his obedience to didactics.'
The little section of the show Greetings from Napoli are "postcards". The artists of the gallery are sending us as a form of necessary, possible, hidden, continue, poetic, trascendental, accidental, point of connection.
To Elena Mantoni
In 1965, a group of artists and theater-makers, collectively known as The Living Theater, headed by the Gesamtkünstler Julian Beck and his wife, Judith Malina, arrived in Berlin as a start to their self-imposed exile, after a series of futile court cases with the United States Internal Revenue Services (I.R.S.). Berlin, through the figure of actress Helene Weigel, opened its arms wide to embrace these great and radical artists. This year, 2014, Berlin, through the figure of the Berlin-based gallery Supportico Lopez in collaboration with the Fondazione Morra, will open its arms a second time for the homecoming of Beck's art, with an exhibition of his paintings and drawings created between 1944 and 1958.
Julian Beck, born 1925 in New York City, is mostly recognized for his foundational role in The Living Theater—which name itself begins to approach the depth, versatility, and sense of human engagement that makes their work enduring still. It is a theater that lives, that allows all aspects of the human experience—political, religious, sexual, etc.—to form and to inform the work; it is a theater of change, in constant flux, a mode of theater that attempts to understand, and en route to understanding, a theater that comments on our world. However, Julian Beck began as a painter, and as a painter, he became a theater-maker. Beck's oeuvre allows us to look at the living artist: for that which must be said is given the freedom to find its unique form, and in such an overflow of media, even a painter who no longer paints still inhabits and senses the world as a painter.
In 1943, Beck met his future wife and collaborator, Judith Malina. Together, they attended Erwin Piscator's theater workshops, performing their earliest experiments in their New York City living room. By 1947, they began to envision a new kind of theater, which would soon be inaugurated "The Living Theater." It would take however, nearly another ten years before they would receive recognition for their work, and which would be, concomitantly, around the moment when Beck would stop to make paintings. Whether Beck ever stopped to see the world around him through a painter's sense of movement and color, is not our question. Beck perhaps stopped to make paintings in the conventional sense, because the Theater, in its fluidity and multiplicity of formal possibility, began to take precedence.
Surrounded by such landmark figures as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jonas and Adolfas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, as well as the artists around Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century Gallery, including Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, as well as the older generation of European Surrealists, it could be said that Beck and Malina were deep in the nucleus of some of the most exciting and radical departures in the history of American art. Upon looking at Beck's fecund body of paintings, drawings, as well as his set and costume designs, one cannot help but note the influence that this creative hive exerted on his work. But Beck is, first and foremost, an autodidact, and so is able to bring together such diverse influences into a vigorously idiosyncratic Weltanschauung—or perhaps his work arrives more closely to the word syncretic. It is as if the spirits of Mondrian, Kandinsky, Picasso, Cocteau, the Surrealists, as well as mystics, Norse Gods, and the bodies of Blake's visions passed through his body to make an impression or, perhaps, with more urgency, an expression in charcoal, ink, pastel, oil, and collage onto the living surface of his support—his cave wall.
Beck's earliest works were created roughly between 1941 and 1943, during his brief time at Yale University. Unfortunately, most of these works have been either lost, destroyed, or remain obscure. But, from what information we have about these works, we can confidently assume they were mostly ink drawings and other experiments produced by "an artist as a young man" still hacking his way through the thicket of external influence and self-discovery. His major influences seem to have been the Surrealists as well as Jean Cocteau.
Upon his withdrawal from Yale in May 1943, Beck returned to New York City, where he became acquainted with Peggy Guggenheim. And it is precisely at this moment that Beck self-consciously dedicated himself to making art. Around this time, all of the most important components of Beck's later career began to roll into action—his friendship with Jackson Pollock and the other New York School artists, as well his introduction to Judith Malina. Works of this period were exhibited at Peggy Guggenheim's gallery; and seemingly in dialogue with the contemporaneous Abstract Expressionists, the paintings are "non-figurative" explorations of the tactility of his materials. And yet they go beyond craft: they grope toward an expression of reality in its fullness, toward the reality of the unconscious, as well as the pulse and experience of the world as it happens around a human being and his or her art.
Once Beck began to unravel the energy of his inner world and its relations to physical reality, his production became nearly inexhaustible, and it is in this spirit, between 1950 and 1955 that he created nearly 50 percent of his entire body of visual work.
After 1955 until his last painting in 1958, Beck's work became increasingly experimental, using all available means including painting, drawing, collage and the incorporation of objets trouvés. By the end of the 1950's however, Beck halted work in this direction, creating his penultimate painting, The Sugar Industry, in 1958. In its manifestly political subject matter, The Sugar Industry looks out onto the vista of innovation that The Living Theater would continue to engage with in its dedication to political action and critique. It is as if Beck had reached the logical point of departure from painting on a flat surface, already indicated by his inclusion of three-dimensional objects erupting out of the works, to arrive at a new kind of painting of the body, painting in space, that is, a physical theater developed through a painter's extended touch.
'It's Easier To Love Your Song Than It Is To Love You'
I opened my mouth to speak, but a much better point was made. This was as much to my surprise as to everyone else's. Initially stunned, agreement followed. The first few exclaimed "That's it!" and then soon others "Yes, that's the answer to this whole thing!" I was right but I didn't realise why. Not straight away at least. In time I understood what I had said and like everyone else, agreed wholeheartedly. But I had not the slightest inkling of where the thought had come from. In fact, I intended to say something else, but a garbled mix of two sentences using mostly all the same words, but with entirely different meaning, was brought forth to unanimous praise.
Tonite let's all make love in London
"Tonite let's all make love in London" is a project that intersects formal choices of different kinds, while continuing to comply with those that are the axioms of my artistic research, connected with a focus on the cognitive/perceptive processes of the human mind. The direction here is not scientific/speculative, but political, in a certain sense; the artwork contributes to expand awareness, to widen and "raise" consciousness of the self, of the other, of history and space.
Psychedelic (*) music, among the various expressions of modern rock, is the best soundtrack for my path of "liberation of the self," both from a private and artistic viewpoint.
The show includes an audio work, a 40-minute track – realized with the Neapolitan musician and sound designer Marco Messina – that combines through cut-ups and today's tools of sound design, American and English psychedelic songs from the 1960s: the idea is that certain combinations of sounds are truly capable of triggering particular perceptive mechanisms in the listener.
I cannot imagine any journey towards cognition and perception of the existing world without considering the relationship with color. The monochrome canvas is interpreted in its possible shadings, corrupted by the presence of material elements: the suggestion is to look at the world around us, renouncing assertive (obtuse?) determinism in favor of openness to the possibilities of doubt: blue is not always itself, and the same goes for yellow, though without denying the precise essence of blue and yellow in common and shared perception.
(*) The term "psychedelic" – that comes from the Greek, and is composed of two words, psykhé (soul) and dêlos (visible, clear) – was coined for the first time in 1956 by the psychiatrist Humphry Osmond, who in a letter to Aldous Huxley used it to define substances that "free thought from the superstructures of social patterns."

From Morn' Till Midnight is the title of a painting dated 1946 by Julian Beck (*1925, died 1985), founder of the Living Theatre, abstract expressionist and poet. Alongside Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Yves Kline his lively paintings were exhibited at Peggy Guggenheim's groundbreaking gallery "Art of this Century". Although inspired by this prominent group of abstract expressionist painters he turned the act of painting into a live gesture which involved the whole body, making the picture and the painter a single entity. Along with his wife, actress Judith Malina, he was the original engine of the avant-garde performance group "The Living Theatre" established in 1947. This is where he would fuel his artistic fervour until the end of his life, promoting ideas of anarcho-pacifism and liberalism throughout Europe, South America and the US.
From Morn' Till Midnight tries to translate his idea of living acts into the concept of possibilities and time. Imagining the time lapse of a day as representation of a life-time-action, the space is conceived as stage for creation, destruction and poetry. The artists involved share the common trait of a demand for confrontation with action, voiced by dynamic gestures, opposing time that elapses passively but provoking change though active participation.
The central visionnaire installation by Tobias Madison and Flavio Merlo is an in-situ work that uses water to amplify sound. The work is intended as a play activated and performed by the computers, the gallery itself through its water and workers as an actual Frankenstein. The recording of the performance Frankenstein by the Living Theatre held in Berlin in 1965 is filtered, edited and sent back through the help of water; a swimming pool and sculpture of a stage that recovers the idea of action and freedom.

S (where a muted impression slips in)
Xerox prints hung on a wooden box covered with raw canvas.
Raw is the materiality of what can be seen, the canvas is unprepared and stands as a vertical plinth.
The xerox prints in the space are painted with spray paint on the back and oiled on the front in order for the spray paint to break through them.
Break, they take a rest to dry a bit.
Rough colour particles in the air, then "came the desire to exhibit its nudity".
The images on the prints stand as backgrounds which enhances the post production work on the paintings, each print is burnt with the same image, a metronomic branding that leads to an hidden loop which has to be broken at one point.
"S" like a broken loop or "the place where one was conceived matters much more than the place where one was born", nevertheless each painting speaks with different voices, their mental approach leads to different directions, as the light shifts color a journey with different ambiances, with different tones, from early morning golden micka flakes on the shore, to outdoor sodium light lamp on a coast road at night where insects and bats flap around it.
"S" like a broken loop, due to the instability of the xerox prints which breathe according to the hydrometry of the space, they settle in, stretched when the air is dry, they get loose like a felt curtain when it rains outside. An emotional unpredictability.
"S" as if the gaze confined inside the glass tube of a neon which causes its radiant light, finally found the trick to break the loop it was trapped in. Now released the gaze spreads its raw nudity and vanishes in the air, the paintings could be seen as an attempt to catch it back, or at least some traces of it, but how does one catch something as immaterial as a transparent gaze?
After the rest, after the break.
The oiled prints are covered with large brush stroke of poppy oil, these brush stroke are applied blindly as the oil is transparent, this surface is then covered with spray paint to transfer the raw color of the spray can, in some kind of DIY printing process. The surface on which the prints are transferred with pressure, is the plywood panel the painting frame are made of, one can not predict the result of what's gonna be printed on the wood neither what will be left on the print itself, the only thing of what we are sure of in this process is, the color of the can will be caught in its very materiality such as a neon tube gaze could be. The printed traces on the wood are blanked behind the raw canvas the frame is covered with, the loop is softened …
There is this distance, this very distance beyond which, one can't read the details that balance the paintings, one slips into an interstice, an interstice is implied in the constellation of details which balances the paintings. Therefore the whole is forgotten, but the presence of the set remains printed as a negative image in one's memory, it recalls us in a muffled way, muted like a drone sound as one is snatched by the details.
Break, they take a rest.
The structure of an empty frame lies on the floor, oversized in a little room, covered with the stigmata of the painting's printing process, a patchwork display of leftover debris out of which emerges a fluttering image that one could grasp. Radiant light dots over the muffled loop, a Chinese ghost in the crowd breaks its flow, where "the language became a series of "blank", "muffled" tonalities"*, it just floats.

This upcoming edition of the Berlin Gallery Weekend is dedicated to the French avant-garde poet Henri Chopin (1922-2008). Through Peppe Morra, director of the Morra Foundation in Naples, one of Chopin's close friends and supporters, we have the possibility to exhibit the manuscript La Crevette Amoureuse (1967/1975). It is part of the trilogy of Le Dernier Roman du Monde, which Chopin started to write in 1961. La Crevette Amoureuse, however, was never printed until 1994 and only had its exhibition debut in 2012, as part of the group show "Ecstatic Alphabet" curated by Laura Hopman at the MoMA in New York.
The manuscript is a continuous movement of construction and deconstruction of meaning itself.
True to Chopin's style, a certain Dada spirit hovers over the narration. We will open these 146 pages to the public in collaboration with the architects Kuhn-Malvezzi who will design the display of the show.
Wild Parrots have infested the park by where I live. A company of twenty moved in, and never left. Parrots are incredibly loud and bossy – like a gang of random thoughts loitering in the public space. They spot the ground and trees with their color, and fill the air with their speech. I imagine these birds, these organic recorders of other people's sounds, collecting fragments of thought from the people passing by. When the Parrots take flight, their voices fill the air with the amalgamized chatter they have collected – overheard ideas and wonky propositions, repeated elsewhere for the benefit of others.
I stroll with one of these birds, the colored body tucked beneath my arm, re-telling ideas I've had about this and that, making them mean a little more. Models and metaphors are explained in detail. I tell accounts of one thing so I can explain another. Thoughts gathered into a story after being loosened. Surfaced in a way that only a good walk can bring about.
As the parrot takes flight, the stories become part of the air. This bird floats through the trees, talking as it goes. Vocalized propositions filling the atmosphere, residues of speech and thought settling onto the landscape below. Ideas about one thing are collected into forms of another.
Parrot Soup is the telling of stories, where thoughts about the big are relayed through the small
Parrot Soup is thoughts collected on the surface of a panel
Parrot Soup is a mobile – 64 eyeballs, a color spectrum, a form of black, and one of pattern
Parrot Soup is language in space

24 November 2012 – 6 January 2013
Who Made Who
When we talk about drawing we inevitably talk about movement within time, a stroke, a line, a cut, a present molded instantaneously into a past, another line and a future descends, passes again, past becomes present and the future is long gone. Time travels, utopic in essence.
But when is the decision made, at what point is it finished? Even though she could re-work it again and again, travel further, movement is freedom, inherently we don't say stop, so when does it suffice? So many decisions to make none of them bigger than that final one, judgment unnecessary, the question of right or wrong has left the game.
We can say that there are factors of sales, expectations, pressure, but if we believe, and we continue to share an optimism not based on opinions but interest, a belief that there is a moment of purity, that the right decision is nothing but personal instinct, a personal moment of clarity, sincerity a necessity, seeing something there that is full, rich and the closest possibility to an end. In this moment the work is free to stand alone to be taken and loved or hated, put in reference, closed and finished, reopened again.
Finished only when placed or hung, J. Parker Valentine's practice moves from the studio into the exhibition space, where pieces are set in close dialogue with the space surrounding them. Her drawings are mapping devices, prototypes for impossible sculptures, utopic architectures.
Taken in various apartments she has lived in between 2004 to 2009, the video montage in the small room tells a fictional story seemingly placed in one location. Looking out the window it gives us directions, situates us in space, with the impending leave-taking of someone. The moment of departure, the letting go, mirrors the artistic process of the artist while it functions like drawing as we generate lines wherever we go. The photos on the wall are shadows sculpted on a bathroom floor – Gestalten. The artist draws with the shadows to create an uncanny experience always on the edge of nearly becoming something, someone, then again someone else, in a space between memory and imagination. The two large fabric pieces further investigate space creation. Talking to the artist she highlights the importance of the negative space in the works, the body relations, the form that happens between.
Who Made Who is a statement with a feeling of a question, a palindrome that moves back and forth, Who interchangeable with What, the subject of discussion is object. The title implies authorship. It is a phrase about power and control, at the same time referencing found objects or allowing things to happen without control. In this sense the show gives way into the interior world of J. Parker Valentines practice. Although the discrete pieces act on their own, they are connected physically by a structure creating movement through the space that allows for collisions and relationships. A moment arises in which we can find a consensus, not by opinion, but by association and memory that leaves open what we see as the beginning or end for us, finished or unfinished – a reference point to something we have seen before or not yet.

Who Made Who is a double solo show realized at Galerie Max Meyer in Düsseldorf and Supportico Lopez Berlin.
Natalie Häusler's installation Case Mod (from: Case Modification) exacts from the gallery space a field in which intimate and reciprocal encounters between audience and art practice are put to the test. Häusler compiles a situation, combining several elements derived from a simultaneity of studio and writing practice. Emerging forms, in this case, watercolor, sculpture and poetry, query whether they can uphold their fragilities and force of expression when exposed to the viewer and to each other. They articulate their mutuality when arranged in the exhibition space, producing crosscuts and intimacies, of visual, written and audio material, as well as of object and spectator/reader/listener. The audience becomes belated witness of the art practice as such, which the installation at once showcases and archives. Yet the present moment is highlighted, as the visitors leave their own marks on the piece, subtly shifting the color palette or destroying it altogether. Audio recordings of the voices of close friends, who are practicing artists and writers, reciting the poems, track down their intimate reception by an audience that is involved in both activities, production and reception. They capture the moment of surprise, when the poem was read for the first time. The intimacy of this contact is shared with the passing visitor, who must come close to the audio shelf, to be able to hear the individual reading. These shelves, each of which is cut and built from one sheet of stained glass, and customized for its assigned set of outmoded electronic equipment, serve as seductive support and hazardous repellant at the same time. The temporary construction of a space of this kind is part of Häusler's inquiry of forms of intimacy, risk, close contact with the material, and inclusion to question modes of reception.
The book "Watercolors" documenting a one and a half year long correspondence in form of watercolors sent via email between Natalie Häusler and Californian artist David Horvitz is part of the exhibition. A book launch will be held on January 12th at Motto Berlin.
NATALIE HÄUSLER, born 1983 in Munich currently lives and works in Berlin. She received her MFA in 2011 from Bard College/Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, New York and a Diploma with honors and Meisterschueler degree from Braunschweig University of Art. A selection of recent exhibitions include: +6|2012 Shortlist Columbus Art Award, Kunsthalle Ravensburg, La Lucidezza, Reception, Berlin (2012), Als Morandi mit der Kinematographie liebäugelte, Supportico Lopez Berlin (2012), An Impossible Distance, Border, Mexico City. Her work has been shown at PS122 Gallery, New York, Soi Fischer Projects, Vancouver (hosted by Butcher Gallery, Toronto), Chelsea Art Museum, New York, Galerie Warhus Rittershaus, Cologne and Schnittraum/Lutz Becker, Cologne. In 2010/11 she received a one-year DAAD scholarship for New York and will be the holder of a grant for the Cité des Artes, Paris in 2013. She is a co-founder of the poetry press American Books (Natalie Häusler/ Ed Steck/ Brett Price).

EGG HARBOR TWP. — Garden State Parkway officials are promising smoother rides and fewer accidents with the widening of a 10-mile stretch that becomes congested during the summer tourist rush to the Jersey shore.
The project will add a third lane in each direction between mileposts 38 and 48 through the Atlantic County communities of Port Republic, Galloway and Egg Harbor Township.
Representatives of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the parkways operating agency, touted the benefits of the project during a public hearing last week at the Egg Harbor Township Community Center.
John Withers, the authoritys supervising engineer, predicted there will be significant improvements to traffic flow and safety when the heavily traveled toll road is widened in this area.
We saw 14-mile backups in the summertime. They are going to be a thing of the past, Withers said. People will no longer give a second thought to traveling because the traffic wont be as bad as in the past.
The project represents the next phase of a $900 million widening of the southern part of the parkway from Toms River into Atlantic County, including improvements to the bridges spanning the Mullica and Bass rivers.
The projects northern stretch between mileposts 63 and 80 was completed in 2011. As construction moves south, work crews continue to widen the road, along with making related improvements to bridges, culverts and other parts of the parkway.
Widening of the 10-mile section through Atlantic County is scheduled to begin by the third quarter of next year, with completion in 2016 and 2017.
Parkway motorists who attended the public hearing said they supported the project, especially if it fulfills the highway authoritys promise of making their commutes faster and safer.
When they did it up north in the Forked River area, it really improved traffic patterns. If it worked up there, it should be successful down here, said Paul Casaccio, an Upper Township, Cape May County, resident who uses the parkway for business trips to Trenton.
Jean Lawless of Northfield said she is eager to see the project completed, hoping it will cure the bottlenecks she and her husband, Charles, encounter during rides up to Bass River State Forest at Exit 50.
I like the idea very much, because I see bumper-to-bumper traffic, she said. I definitely think it needs to be widened.
Charles Lawless said he tries to avoid driving on the parkway during busy weekends, particularly when there are big concerts or other special events to draw tourists to the shore.
You can tell when there is big-name entertainment or something else big going on, because its a full house, he said of the parkway congestion.
Lawless said he hopes the widening project will reduce air pollution because cars, trucks and buses wont idle as much if theyre not stuck in traffic jams.
Port Republic City Council President Craig Rummler said the project should improve access to his town, but he expressed concern that residents living next to the parkway will have to deal with more noise generated by extra traffic. He said Port Republic officials asked for sound barriers of some type to be installed but were told by the highway authority that they wouldnt be needed.
They said it wouldnt create more noise. But I think theres going to be increased noise. Its got to be louder, Rummler said.
Withers and Lamis Malak, the highway authoritys senior highway engineer, said the project does not have any controversial aspects. When the widening project originally began, environmental groups and others criticized it because it led to the cutting of scores of trees along the wooded roadway.
Most of the tree-cutting needed for the stretch through Atlantic County has already been done, although an additional 3.9 acres of trees will have to be chopped down for stormwater basins, Withers said. He did not have an estimate of the number of trees that will be cut down in that area.
As a companion to the widening project, the parkway has begun building full exits at Interchanges 44 and 41 in Galloway. Those exits are scheduled for completion in 2015 at a cost of $32.6 million.
Plans call for Interchange 41 to have a new southbound and northbound entrance at Jimmie Leeds Road, where motorists are able to access the parkway through a service plaza that is not officially marked as an exit.
Parkway food contractor HMSHost Corp. will build a new $7 million service plaza related to Interchange 41s reconstruction. The new service plaza is scheduled for completion in 2015.
In addition, a new $13.5 million New Jersey State Police barracks is being built at Interchange 41. Completion of the barracks is set for 2014.
Interchange 44, at Pomona Road, will be upgraded into a full exit with new traffic lights and ramps.

The Gamecocks already have some pretty sweet uniforms, and now they'll be adding some "battle" uniforms to the mix. These will be worn against LSU next weekend when the number 3 Gamecocks travel to Baton Rouge to face the number 8 Tigers.
Personally not a fan of the camo pants.

"Like him or hate him Floyd brings boxing to the masses" IF you say so. You have to pay to see him fight so in my book he's not bringing anything to the masses–they're bringing it to him.Posted May 12, 2013 10:31 pm

I'll admit that the fight was boring, but that' s not Mayweather's fault. Regardless of how anyone feels about Mayweather, he's still the number one draw and PPV king. He'll draw in the crowd no matter who he fights. Face it.Posted May 12, 2013 11:24 am

Maywether schools him this year. A fight for Canelo vs Cotto and one maybe 2 more and he beats Floyd in a year or year and a half. Not ready yet.Posted May 12, 2013 9:17 am
I`ve been wondering recently why I do not come onto this website as much as I used to. A fight hits 1 million PPV buys, so what! Could someone get this business-related nonsense off this site? It is not very interesting!Posted May 12, 2013 5:47 am
Terror Tim – imagine that, Floyd vs Canelo in the Azteca stadium on Mexican Independence Day. 100K seats sold out, 3M PPV. Not too bad an idea, won't happen.Posted May 12, 2013 5:44 am

If Flyod was real smart he would learn to speak Spanish. If you are a boxing star you want to cater to those fans. Instead of throwing your money away on a useless music label by some Rosetta Stone CDs, better investment. Also fight Canelo at Estadio Azteca. That would be a huge event. Fighting in the same city all the time isn't the best way to market yourself.Posted May 11, 2013 5:34 pm

Good job for Mayweather. Don't understand people who find excuses for why it happens. In the end he is good for boxing because he brings the sport to the masses. Of course having the fight on Cinco De Mayo weekend helps, that is why he does it. Should he put the fight on a random Monday so no can watch? No you put on a weekend where people plan to watch a fight. Like him or hate him Floyd brings boxing to the masses and that is something all of us boxing fans should appreciate. Now just do it more often and give us the fights we want to see.Posted May 11, 2013 5:30 pm

Well the fact that it was Cinco De Mayo helped a lot. Watching the fights has become a part of the that holiday apparently. Plus those Mexicans were probably drunk enough to buy the fight.Posted May 11, 2013 10:39 am

Rushed out, Mayweather didn't have the skills to compete with Mayweather?Posted May 11, 2013 3:59 am
Most definitely is. Now folks will say they are lying about the numbers but they can't do that. They would get hurt from the IRS if that where to happen. Plus Floyd gets a certain amount of money per each PPV after a certain point. Great job Floyd. You truly are the PPV kingPosted May 11, 2013 1:38 am

East senior Austin Young had an amazing senior season on the football field, and so far he's having an all-conference basketball season, too.
East senior Austin Young had an amazing senior season on the football field, and so far he's having an all-conference basketball season, too.
Young led the E-Rabs with 24 points and nine rebounds in East's loss to Boylan on Friday. The 6-3 guard is averaging 14.3 points for the 5-2 (2-1 NIC-10) E-Rabs. This is coming off a football season where he led the NIC-10 in receiving with 1,076 yards on 44 catches.
"Everything that's come his way this year in football and now, the kid absolutely deserves 100 percent," East basketball coach Roy Sackmaster said. "He works harder than any kid in the school, so he actually earns any accolade or any recognition he gets, because he has put the time in."
Hononegah defense
It wasn't just the loss that hurt Hononegah when the Indians dropped their conference opener to Belvidere on Nov. 30. It was the fact that Belvidere scored 74 points on their defense.
"We learned in that game that defense is the heart and soul of our team," Hononegah senior Jacob Doyle said. "If we play good defense, that leads to our offense. That's the key to our team."
Since that loss to the Bucs, the Indians' defense has returned to form. Hononegah has won its last three conference games over three of the toughest teams in the NIC-10 — Auburn, Jefferson and Boylan — and opponents have averaged just 44 points.
"We really went back to basics after that Belvidere game," Hononegah coach Mike Miller said. "We had a brutal film session and just said 'Alright, here's the way we need to be.' And we've been pretty solid defensively ever since."
Sportsmanship winner
Oregon won this year's Northwest Illinois Volleyball Officials Association Volleyball Sportsmanship Award. Each year, members of the association rate each school's sportsmanship in three areas — team, coaches/administration and fans. Oregon received the top rating and will be awarded a gym banner.
The other schools finishing in the top five were Polo, Freeport Aquin, West Carroll and Forreston.

How come I can't change locations on my local news. Mesa everytytime. I'm in Sunnyvale, Ca.
Let me change location(s). Set my own default. It should be pretty easy to do.

Every time you make a change, the local news and weather address changes and will not stay where I live. Are you too incompetent to make this work???
Beeler Nation commented
the problem is, I think, his IP address is coming out of mesa. I live in far NW Oklahoma and my IP is in
OkC and area surrounding. I would also set mine to my actual location and it would change back to metro area. this is a 170 mile trip. I Think, do not hold me to my idea, suggestion.
Never had a problem getting the Local news from Chicago, which is where I live.
So when did I move to Dallas, which is suddenly my Local news?
Brittster commented
Gotta love Anonymous. I'm all the way cross Country and Yahoo gives me, you guessed it,
Sunnyvale California. The more Yahoo improves the worse it gets.
wsin twelve commented
i think "yahoo" is run by ISIS. They're definitely acting as confused as ISIS is anways....
Same here. Yahoo thinks I'm somewhere I'm not. Let me change location(s). Set my own default. It should be pretty easy to do.
SavvyCat commented
I keep deleting Bedford, Texas and it keeps adding it back. It kept making it my location until I followed the suggestions to claim my true location, but even though it now has the right location, it keeps including Bedford as a second one no matter how many times I remove it. It's WRONG! I finally deleted the module. It's the only way to get rid of remedial programming code.
Jethro commented
My problem is slightly different. I live in Springfield, MO. My location shows as Springfield, MO. The "Local News" panel on my home page used to contain news from, you know, Springfield, MO. Now I get a steady diet from Waynesville, MO (90 miles away, and a place I'd never heard of until this) and St. Louis, which is 250 miles away. Why must this be?
I agree. I hate that my news and weather reverts to Sunnyvale every time. When I change it, it may or may not pick a closer location. Even if my actual location comes up it changes when I leave the page. Don't like ads mixed in the news articles either.
Thomas commented
Hey, I'm in Corpus Christi, TX, but my default weather location is sometimes New York, more often San Francisco. I've called support three times, but they don't seem to have a clue. What gives?
John Carnes commented
Safari defaults to Washington DC. I am in Nashville TN. Please fix this or allow me to pick my default location!
Bruce commented
It thinks I am in Charlotte, NC. Birmingham is a long way from Charlotte. When is this going to be fixed?
Same problem in Connecticut. It shows my location as New Haven but I am 60 miles north east of there.
I also don't live in Sunnydale Ca. I live in Tn. and am tired of resetting every time I turn the computer. I think it's time to go to a home where things work!!!
When you read through the comments/suggestions, you will find "location" issues at least five different times. In fact, I don't see any other subject that ****** off more people than being forced to see the weather in Sunnyvale, CA if you don't live there. How can it be that other sites do the "location" thing easily, consistently, but Yahoo just can't seem to get the hint...or muster up the technical expertise to give the customers what they want?
Fix it or allow me to pick my own default location. This problem is getting old.
Aaaaaand here we are nearly six months later, and has this been fixed? NO - of course not. Don't be silly.
don't live in Sunnyvale, Ca...don't care what their weather is!
I am also getting an incorrect current location and I don't care where Yahoo THINKS my IP addressis coming from!!!! Please let us set our own default location, even if it happens to be far away from where we truly are.
I'm in Texas, not Germantown, Maryland. Don't care what their weather is. This shouldn't be difficult. Guess this launch was like passing obamacare - let's launch it and see if it works.

Public Meeting Tonight for Proposed City Hall
Poulsbo Tom Bates had three sharp red pencils and an open mind at the ready.

He was fielding questions Wednesday night from Poulsbo City Council members about what parts of the new Municipal Campus might look like — on the eve of the public's first chance tonight to get a look at a rough architectural draft of the $14.4 million building.

"We encourage you to come with your questions, your concerns, your suggestions," Mayor Kathryn Quade said.

The red marks on the blueprints told the story after Bates, the principal architect for BLRB Architects of Tacoma — the firm designing the building — had marked changes suggested by city staff members and council members.

The building is envisioned as a three-story, 30,000-square-foot structure. It includes a parking garage on the bottom floor, a council chambers almost twice the current size and a 21/2-story sunlit atrium as an entryway.

So far, there has been some debate over amenities inside the building and out — in particular, over the sloping-roof style proposed, Quade said.

Wednesday night, Councilman Dale Rudolph urged people to attend tonight's meeting to help better determine a look appropriate to Poulsbo and to Northwest architecture.

The city is in high gear working on the project to place a new municipal campus east of Highway 305 near Lincoln Road and the Olympic Property Group building.

A report on the soil conditions — a major concern of now-Mayor Quade when she served on the council — is awaited.

Public Works Director Jeff Lincoln said BLRB likely will present the city with plans in August, at which time he suggested the city should close on the property purchase. The longer they wait to close and move forward, the more costs go up, he said.

"It could be up to six figures to take a break," he said.

A new police station not connected to the city hall is planned for later.

If all goes as planned, the city hopes to move into the new municipal campus in November 2007.

Municipal Campus Meeting

What: Public meeting on new Poulsbo Municipal Campus

Focusing on serious crime, you'll explore the practice and theory of criminal activities, including how crime is detected and policed, methods of social control, and sanctions.
By examining different theoretical standpoints, you'll form an understanding of various Western legal and social traditions and how they compare to each other.
You'll investigate issues such as organised illicit trade and criminal enterprise, using case studies of criminal activities including financial crime, human trafficking, and violence prevention.
Our modules will let you specialise in other areas of interest too, such as the nature of violence, terrorism, and policing transnational crime.
Most of your teaching will take place in research-seminar format to allow you to develop critical thinking, but your learning will also be supported by lectures, guest speakers and debates. You'll have a chance to contribute to our research seminar series, and take part in our annual criminology study trips abroad.
