Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents

5.1For the following years, it can be documented that Hitler personally directed anti-Jewish policy and regularly intervened in anti-Jewish legislation. The measures in question were mainly concerned with excluding the Jewish minority from the economy.
5.2In the summer of 1936, Hitler charged Göring with preparations for the Four-Year-Plan (Vierjahresplan), by which the German economy was to be adapted for war. The memorandum which Hitler transmitted to Göring on this subject makes clear that preparation for war and further radicalisation of anti-Jewish policy were closely associated in Hitler's thinking. Hitler's position in this matter was that a war against a supposed Bolshevik-Jewish menace was unavoidable:
Since the outbreak of the French Revolution, the world has been moving ever faster towards a new confrontation. The most extreme solution to this conflict is called Bolshevism and its content and goals are the liquidation (Beseitigung) and replacement (Ersetzung) of the hitherto leading social stratum of mankind by international Jewry.48
5.3In the memorandum, Hitler also explained that preparations for the coming war against "international Jewry" should in part be financed through expropriation of Jewish property. To this purpose he demanded two new anti-Jewish laws: the first, a law "which makes all Jews answerable for the damages which are inflicted upon the German economy and the German people by individual specimens of this criminality"49; further, he called for the death penalty for what he called "economic sabotage", (Wirtschaftssabotage) meaning the accumulation of currency reserves abroad. This demand - as further developments would show - was particularly directed against Jewish "economic sabotage": It was satisfied by the law dealing with economic sabotage, promulgated in December 1936, which in fact called for lengthy prison terms or the death penalty for the illegal transfer of property abroad; in the following period it was primarily applied against Jews.50
5.4In order to put through the other law which Hitler had proposed in his memorandum on the Four-Year-Plan - the comprehensive accountability of German Jews - a draft of a "law concerning the compensation of damages incurred by the Jews to the German Reich" was prepared at the beginning of February 1937. After this draft was rejected, because of the anticipated negative implications for the economy,51 Hitler in April 1938 renewed his proposals for a special tax on Jews which could be raised "for the specific situation - behaviour by individual Jews detrimental to the Volk". A proposal of this kind was issued by the responsible departments of the government but was once again rejected by Göring.52 Only after the November pogrom was the project realised and an "atonement payment" (Sühneleistung) of billions charged to German Jews.53
5.5But on the other hand, in the Spring and early Summer of 1937, Hitler decided not to follow through on two important antisemitic legislative projects for the moment. One was the third decree of the law of citizenship (Reichsbürgergesetz) by which among other things, a special trade symbol (Gewerbezeichen) was to be introduced for non-Jewish businesses; as Frick told Göring in February 1937, this proposal was to be enacted according to Hitler's specific order. Nevertheless, the project was once again not treated - and this at Hitler's explicit behest - since the incorporation of holdings by foreign Jews would create complications; it would not be enacted until one year later.54 Similarly, due to Hitler's specific orders, the project to enact a special document on citizenship (Reichsbürgerbrief) into law was not further pursued.55
5.6To conclude this section, one can say that Hitler continued to be intensely preoccupied with anti-Jewish policy in the years 1936-37 and was once again prepared to be flexible for tactical reasons in pressing his goals, as is apparent in the different treatment accorded to the diverse laws - in particular, in this time period, to the further economic discrimination against Jews. However, as the following paragraphs will show, he has not given up his basic aim: to remove the Jews from Germany.

48. 'Seit dem Ausbruch der französischen Revolution treibt die Welt in immer schärferem Tempo in eine neue Auseinandersetzung, deren extremste Lösung Bolschewismus heißt, deren Inhalt und Ziel aber nur die Beseitigung und Ersetzung der bislang führenden Gesellschaftsschichten der Menschheit durch das international verbreitete Judentum ist." Treue (ed.), Hitlers Denkschrift.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
Collect well documented plant genetic resources for the ARS managed U.S. National Plant Germplasm System.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Highly qualified botanists working in the countries of the former Soviet Union, will be identified then contacted to develop proposals to collect and document needed genetic resources from their country. These proposals will be peer reviewed and those accepted will be funded and managed through this SCA. Collected germplasm and associated documentation will be equally shared with the national genebank in the host country. The U.S. share of the collected germplasm and documentation will be maintained in the appropriate collections of the U.S. NPGS. All plant exploration and exchange activities associated with the SCA will be in compliance with UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the International Treaty for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.

I am considering trying a joint, glucosamine and/or chondroitin, for my knee's. I'm 57 and have a long history of running. I currently am getting started with running again. Although I recently just got over a Lateral Meniscus injury I'm in pretty decent condition. My knee's tend to get sore more often these days. When I kneel down or sit for long periods of time my knee's get a little stiff. There okay after a few steps. Okay, I know I'm getting older : | I would like to hear from any runners who have experience with this kind of supplements. There seems to be a million of them out there. I'm thinking maybe I should just stick to aspirin when I need it. Oh, and I'm cheap so i wouldn't want to get started on supplements if they don't really help.
"Peace" Long May You Run
There are so many on the market, it is difficult to find the right combination, but I highly recommend supplements because they do create a positive influence. A quality product including glucosamine with MSM would probably make a difference or maybe look at Synflex, for example. I would also recommend increasing Omega 3 Fish Oil along with Celadrin and (of course) increasing Vitamins C & E together.
I take a lot of natural supplements, but it did take some experimentation and time to identify the right products. As you stated, they are expensive and we all know there are marketing "promises" of miracle cures with a lot of things out there. I also have hip and knee issues, so I can tell you that I also started on Inositol (powder form), and it really did help in combination with the other things mentioned.
Overall, I would say the correct natural supplements are certainly worth the investment, but they also require patience in terms of the results over a more extended period of time. They really do help...it just takes awhile and a careful choices.
Best wishes.
I've taken glucosamine for a couple years (I'm 64) and honestly, I haven't noticed any difference. If my knees bother me it's from being lazy with my stride/footplant. The study results are ambivalent at best. I won't take chondroitin because it is often made from the cartilage from cows' spines. Again, studies don't show enough to justify what risk exists. Omega-3 is the only one I've seen that studies seem to support some benefits. All the others, MSM, etc., have no legitimate science to support them, that I could find. If you want "natural" vitamin c, eat an orange. There are also good food sources for other vitamins.
On the other hand, be cautious with pain relief, particularly NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen). Avoid taking then before a run and don't take any more than necessary.
Progress gradually as you restart your running. Avoid "too much, too fast, too soon". And have fun!
A newly released study found that they do no good and are of no value for joint disease or pain. You are better off taking omega 3 and turmeric both anti inflamatories. In addition strengthen your VMO muscle and anterior tibialis.
Thank you Jasko, Ultimatehlth and Len. Nice to see your still here Len. I've decide not to take glucosamine or chondroitin. I'll stick to Fish Oil/Omega3 and continue with my leg strengthening exercises. I am so grateful to be able to run again. I plan on starting out very easy and just keep my mpw to 25 - 30.
"Peace" Long May You Run
Extreme endurance runner Dean Karnazes promotes Joint Juice, which is basically a liquid Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement, but I suppose that may have as much to do with the fact that there's not much money in extreme endurance running without an endorsement or two.
I wonder sometimes if the desire to add something to the diet in order to control joint pain is as effective as finding things to eliminate from the diet. Sugar, for example, promotes inflammation in many of us, more so in those with a predisposition for diabetes. The wasting effect on the limbs due to the inability to control blood sugar is well known.
Joint problems are often the result of an autoimmune condition, and can be one of the first signs. Anything that causes your immune system to attack its own tissues is an autoimmune condition. Evidence has been presented to suggest that some dietary components that contain substances to which the immune system reacts are behind the targeting and destruction of tissues within the body. This science is evolving, but I would not wait for a final word before attempting an elimination diet to rule out or highlight dietary components that may or may not have an effect on your joints.
57 is not old enough for natural wear and tear to be a given. Even in cases where there is a "genetic predisposition" for joint problems, concomitant factors that force such gene expression cannot be easily dismissed. You may have what your daddy had, but some similarities in lifestyle too, that contribute to joint degradation. In addition to simple starches and sugars (which are quite addictive and hard to avoid in the common food supply), I would look at common allergens in grain and milk products as soon as possible. There is also data to suggest that genetically engineered foodstuffs can provoke an immune reaction when these alien substances become part of our tissues.
Behind every abnormal health problem, there is an explanation. You can go the route of having a lot of tests done, or take the matter into your own hands and try to do something. It's true that studies of joint building products are often inconclusive, but there is so much more involved with joint health than the presence or absence of a finite number of dietary components, too much for a simple study to yield credible results.
Don't make the mistake too many studies do, and widen your focus to a whole-health approach. I'll second the mention of Turmeric and its Curcumin component, along with the related root Ginger, for the anti-inflammatory effect that works along the lines of a gentle systemic NSAID without the major risks. Ditto for Omega 3s. It can take a long time for tissue to become unhealthy, and it can take a long time to change what you are made of. Avoid the quick-fix mindset, and find out as much as you can about dietary effects on joint health. Doing every positive thing and avoiding every negative can slow or stop the degradation of your joints, and may even begin to turn things around.
Having said all that to address your question, I have a question for you.. Are you sure the pain you feel in your joints is actually coming from the joints themselves? In my line of work, it is very common to encounter fake joint pains that are actually muscular in origin. The nervous system is wired in such a way that dysfunction in the muscle tissue that moves our joints often is interpreted as coming from inside the joints they move. It's called referred pain, and knee pains coming from tissues outside and acting on the joint are quite common and easily addressed. Don't assume the pain comes from where you feel it. If it fools health professionals, it can fool you. Bone up (so to speak) on referred pain to the knee joint, and determine what combination of massage, exercise, and stretching may actually solve a lot of those pains, if not all of them. You now have plenty work to do to replace that lost mileage. Good luck.

Some Like Slow Routes

In response to Richard J. Wiley's letter ["Lakeland Speed Trap," May 7], I am grateful to the city of Lakeland for the planning that has gone into the layout of our city streets and speed zones.
They have given people the option of traveling the fast track or, if needed, staying in the safe slow zones to get where they have to go.
Being elderly, I appreciate the slow zones. I am living with permanent injuries from my car being rear-ended while sitting at a red traffic light.
The lady behind me was busy on her cellphone and did not realize I was stopped. She hit me without slowing down.
I differ with Mr. Wiley about Lakeland Police creating speed traps just to make money.
The Edgewood Drive extension speed is clearly marked. There should be no question for the driver. Laws are created for a reason. We have free choice.
Also, if a law is broken, there should be a punishment. So what kind of punishment would you prefer? Should the alternative be community service or jail time? A monetary fine is an easier reminder that one has ignored the rules.
Yes, it brings in revenue, but the Lakeland Police Department serves us well, considering the overwhelming population growth and tasks it has to keep us safe.
If you have to travel the slow zones, do so with patience. It is a time to relax, enjoy the beautiful view and take a breather from the fast track until you must drive on it again.

Red Zone guru to enter state Hall of Fame
Republican-American staff writer Mark Jaffee will be inducted into the media wing of the Connecticut High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The ceremony and dinner will be held Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.
Jaffee is being honored for his long-term service of covering statewide high schools sports, spanning more than three decades.
He joins eight other media members in the CHSCA Hall of Fame, consisting of the late Bohdan Kolinsky (2005), Owen Canfield (2006), the late Hal Levy (2006), Jim Senich (2007), George Albano (2008), Kenneth Lipshetz (2009), Matt Buckler (2010) and Woody Anderson (2011). The hall of fame is at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
Jaffee, 51, a Cheshire resident, will also be honored at halftime of the UConn-Temple game Oct. 13. The game pits UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni, a Cheshire native, against his pupil, Temple coach Steve Addazio, who worked as an assistant with Pasqualoni at Western Connecticut State University and at Syracuse University. Addazio was the head coach at Cheshire High from 1988-94.
The eight coaches being inducted are Daniel Borgman, Robert Cerosimo, Nancy Grace, Patsy Kamercia, Peter Kokinis, Charles Larson, Joe Madaffari, Robert Neubauer and Barbara Startup.
Tickets for the 36th annual banquet cost $46. Make checks payable to CHSCA and mail checks to P.O. Box 632, Southington, CT 06489.
A New York City native, Jaffee joined the Republican-American in May 1996 as a free-lancer and became a staff writer in August 1997.
He earned a first-place New England Associated Press Award in 2007 for his profile on Woodland football player Leandro Santos Jr., who played with a prosthetic right leg.
He previously was a full-time staff writer at the New Haven Register from 1984-90 and a writer and copy editor at the Meriden Record-Journal from 1992-96.
In 1994, Jaffee won a 1994 New England Associated Press Award for his profile on Maloney High soccer coach Bruce Golden, who underwent a bone-marrow transplant.
He began his Connecticut newspaper career at the Bridgeport Post-Telegram in 1980 as a part-time clerk before embarking on a five-semester, three-year stint as an intern with the New Haven Register.
A 1984 graduate of the University of Bridgeport with a degree in journalism and a minor in psychology, Jaffee spent five semesters as an intern at the New Haven Register before being hired upon graduation to coordinate local sports coverage in Cheshire, Wallingford and Meriden.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Snowmass Village resident Lyn Hemley started painting because of the vanishing landscape. When you see her work, you can see her passion for landscape. The titles of her pieces share that sentiment: "Autumn Glow," "Quiet Season," "Send to Edgehill Parkway," "Once in Awhile," "Mail's In."
So let's learn about her art and the pieces she has on display at the Villas Welcome Center, across the street from the Snowmass Club. Like many of plein air artists, Hemley likes to paint in our beautiful valley. One of her special places to create is the Seven Castles area up the Fryingpan River. As for many other artists, the changing light brings Hemley the greatest challenge in painting.
Hemley began painting about 25 years ago when she was looking at the Deadhorse Mill in Crystal City, just past Marble. Like many of the artists represented in the Villas show, she has taken numerous classes at Colorado Mountain College. Her inspiration comes from past artists Robert Henri, Frank Weston Benson, Emile Gruppe and Edgar Payne. Current artists Albert Handell, Richard McKinley and Skip Whitcomb also give her inspiration. Her formal training includes a bachelor's in English from University of Wisconsin.
Hemley also serves on the Red Brick Center for the Arts gallery committee and has assisted with their installations. Her works have appeared in many juried exhibitions in Denver, Fort Collins, Longmont, Pueblo, Loveland, Greeley and Morro Bay, Calif., as well as additional exhibits throughout the valley.
"I put a directional swipe of paint on a canvas so it's no longer white," says Hemley when asked about her thinking process in creating a piece. From there, the piece unfolds. Hemley paints in pastels, oils and watercolors.
The En Plein Air show and sale is on display at the Welcome Center of the Villas at Snowmass Club until April 15. These pieces are a great way to take something home from the valley. Other artists represented are Sue Tatem, Mike Otte, Anne Byard, David Notor, Michael Kinsley and curator Georgeann Waggaman. The Welcome Center is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. For additional information, call 970-923-0391 or 970-925-2126.

Next week, the Summit County Ambulance Service celebrates National Emergency Medical Services Week with a community blood drive, free CPR classes and blood pressure checks.
"EMS week is kind of a national holiday for us, in which we celebrate our medical services and the community, enhancing public awareness and understanding," said Summit blood drive organizer and EMT-paramedic John Avery.
"We're just looking forward to giving back to the community that's always been good to us," he said. " We are humbled to be able to provide free CPR classes, wellness checks and our annual blood drive throughout next week."
The Wednesday morning blood drive is important for Summit County because there aren't many opportunities to donate in the High Country, according to Avery. If someone has a rare blood type, it's even more important to give. The supply, which goes to Denver and is then distributed throughout the state, is used for surgeries, massive traumas and blood transfers. There have been serious accidents this year and last that depleted Summit's supply, Avery said.
The drive is being run by Bonfils Blood Center, which has sufficient time and room for 66 people to donate. One pint of blood will be taken per donor.
"Last year we had a great showing of 47 donors, but would like to reach our full capacity this year," Avery said.
There are currently 16 spots reserved.
Next week's free CPR classes are important because it's a skill everyone should have, Avery said.
"It saves lives when we can't be the first responder," he said.
And, the free blood pressure checks are helpful to the public because "not everyone's in tune with their body," Avery said. "If it's high, it's a good indicator to go to a doctor."
> When: 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 23
> Where: Summit County Community and Senior Center
> To give blood, a person must be in good general health; weigh at least 115 pounds; be at least 18-years-old, or 17 with written parental consent; have not had a tattoo not performed in a doctor's office in the past 12 months; have not received a body piercing not performed with single-use equipment in the last 12 months; have not traveled to a malarial area in the last 12 months; and can pass a health and lifestyle screening.
> Donors should remember to eat well and drink plenty of water prior to blood draw.
> Reservations to give blood are encouraged. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact Bonfils at (800) 365-0006, option 2, or online at www.bonfils.org.
> 8 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 22; and 5-9:30 p.m., Thursday May 24 at the senior center.
> 12-1 p.m., Friday, May 25 at City Market in Dillon.

lol tb, yes I like Lopez. 'George Lopez' one of my favorite shows - not the TBS one, but the sitcom. lol
And I do know he is a Laker fan - sadly.
Racist or not, don't understand why Sheed needs to be a monkey with the Bruins. Being African American doesn't exclude you from being racially insensitive.
I don't care who Lopez is a fan of - his humor is still extremely lame. Good guests on his talkshow though.
alscorcho says:
to be fair, white or black, we all evolved from apes...so it's not really racist is it?
Follow these instructions:
Remove pants/skirt, boxers/tighty whities/panties, bend to a 90 degree angle, insert hand into rear, and remove the stick. After that the pick won't bother you as much.
lol QD
@alscorcho - THANK YOU! The picture isn't even meant to be racist, some people are just being ridiculous and TRYING to view it that way.
Enjoy the pic or don't comment.
@Thomas J - I CLEARY STATED that I DONT like his TBS show, I said like the sitcom show 'George Lopez' - you know, the one that comes on nick@nite. lol
exactly alscorcho! that sounds like fox news defending a monkey cartoon about the president.
Also (@ThomasJ), Sheed was just a random addition to this pic. Obviously it wasn't the best choice to put as the monkey (since all of the other guys happen to be white) but we THOUGHT it would be humorous, but some people aren't enjoying the pic, they just keep brining up race.
yeah got the Lopez comment after I wrote mine, sorry pb
OK we will get off the race angle with the pic. Nothing to do with a stick, QD. I guess I just like Sheed and think there would have been a better face there - like Danny!
1) for monkeying unnecessarily with this years team.
2) his move(s) were as logical for a championship as a monkey throwing his crap around.
If you've seen the hangover 2 youd realize that the monkey was a pot smoking crazy ass. Now if u didn't think about race and considered a Celtic to use, who would you choose? Sheed was the craziest guy we've had here in a long time. We've always used him. Not using sheed just bc he's black would have been lame.
I also just find it ironic that the black people I know that have seen the pic think it's funny and don't understand the complaints and the people complaining have been white.
Honestly it's unfair to pbb to keep at it. Just let it go. I blame Danny singe fir nit signing Chris birdman Anderson and signing POB instead. If we had birdman we could of used him and white ppl would now be happy lol. Instead Danny chose to sign 'sheed as his crazy pot smoking FA. Damn you Danny for not signing a crazy white Mofo.
Just read your last comment thomasj. I thought about Danny as well, but the thing is again of you saw the movie the monkey is cool. Danny is basically the opposite.
Also Mama Wallace says she thinks it's funny. :)
Yes JR - i didnt find it racist (being an african american) AND I MADE THE PIC! I didnt even think people would think its racist until we talked about it.All of you people are basically accusing me of being a racist for making this.
Im not racist towards blacks like Sheed, whites like Adam Sandler, asians like Jackie Chan, hispanics like George Lopez, europeans like Semih, aliens like Paul & ET, ANY RACE!! IM NOT A RACIST!! lol - just had to get the damn point across.
This reminds me of in the movie when Galafanakis talks about how he once saw a black albino polar bear.
I'm JEWISH DAMNIT!!!
Jewish is a religion, not a race.
Got it, JR. I guess I have to see the movie to know the Sheed connection to the monkey was the cool pot smoker thing. That makes sense.
But I don't know about white people liking a birdman signing, he's basically every color except white.
Why is rasheed Wallace in this pic????
scroll up and read the comments - we've been thru this already..
lol I heard about this pic and I had to see for myself! Holy Racist! haha...what about a noose? it would be even funnier...
Ignore all this PBB- I feel people are saying "it's racist" now just to say it.
I've never seen the movie The Hangover (either one) so I didn't quite get Rasheed at first either. But once JR explained it, yeah it makes sense.
Yea tb, im thinking the same.
TO EVERYONE - If you feel this pic is racist, im sorry. It was meant for a little humor, but almost everyone is looking it in a negative way - totally disregarding the fact that the whole point of this was cause the Bruins won the championship.
PLEASE stop bringing up race - Sheed was just a random addition to the pic(read JRs comment about Sheed being the monkey).
To put you all back on 'good graces' w/me, you will enjoy todays Afternoon Delight, so stay tuned.
B ignore it. I wouldn't worry about putting people in good graces either. If we spent our time trying to please everyone, we'd be phsycho. Like TB said, criticizing the pic seems to be the popular thing now. Like anon said, he/she heard about the pic before hand, so they apparently came here with a preconceived notion.
If you decide to put someone else in Sheed's place, I can guarantee that someone will find something wrong with it. Proving once again that you will never be able to please the masses. The pic is there, and it's not changing. If you try to put yourself back into good graces with these ANONYMOUS people, you're going to second guess every pic that you post from now on.
Yea I gotcha QD.
No one can please everybody - :clapping: lol
But does this criticism hurt me? - hell no
Is it getting annoying? - of course
But it doesn't matter. This isn't a big issue by any means.
The pic wont change. If you don't like it, don't look at it.
Even tho JR explained the monkey's qualities that matched up with Sheed, I still say Danny would be the best choice for the visual of being the monkey below this years champions. You just can't waste chances at championships.
Let me know the next time the C's are led by three future HOF players who will sacrafice for ubuntu

#20acts: A hash tag that is making a difference
December 23, 2012 - Art Smith
A little more than a week ago a gunman did the unspeakable at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
The press quickly descended on the town to let the world know about the events that took the lives of 26 people at the school.
Among those covering the story was Ann Curry, a NBC News national and international correspondent, and former co-anchor of "The Today Show."
Curry is a very active social networker, frequently posting to both Facebook and Twitter. On Twitter she has more than a million followers. On Facebook more than 620,000 follow her page.
She posted a simple request on both sites shortly after the shootings that people could honor those that died by performing random acts of kindness. Her first post urged people to perform 20 acts to remember the children who died. She later changed it to 26 to include the teachers and administrators who died at the school.
The movement has gained a lot of traction in the last few days with people performing acts of kindness for people that are in many cases total strangers. The phrases #20acts and #26acts being used to share acts performed by and to people across the globe.
Curry's original tweet on Dec. 16 was simple.
Many people did retweet it (RT) and thousands decided to make something good from the evil.
A search on Twitter gives examples of what some people are doing, they include things like:
Literally thousands of acts are being performed in the movement that is now worldwide. Some are small, others huge. Many recipients are taking photos of things left on their windshields, the sender numbers many acts; some are in honor of particular people that lost their lives.
The gun debate will go on for months and will be likely get nasty before a resolution is reached. It will not, in most cases, be something that citizens will have much of a voice in.
The random act movement is something that everyone can take part in and make immediate good from something so horribly evil.

This morning while heading to work, a neighbor spotted his Subaru Outback, stolen two days ago, driving down 23rd Ave E. Giving chase while calling police, he followed the car back toward Montlake and through the Arboretum. After an erratic turn at E. Miller and an unfortunate U-turn stalled by a box truck, grand theft auto got away. Police arrived moments later to set up a containment zone — but to no avail.
Keep an eye out for a 2011 silver Outback with Yakima ski rack, plate #AFV7367 — and call 911 if you see it.

The Sierra Club joined a coalition of national, regional and local conservation groups in seeking a preliminary injunction in federal court Thursday to stop construction of the Susquehanna-Roseland transmission line through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the middle Delaware River, and the Appalachian Trail.
They seek the delay while U.S. District in Washington, D.C., considers claims the power line will cause irreversible ecological and scenic damage. The National Park Service approved the transmission line Oct. 1.
The new transmission line is being built by Public Service Electric and Gas Co. in New Jersey and PPL Electric Utilities in Pennsylvania. The utilities agreed to create a $56 million fund to buy and donate nearby land to the public, as compensation for negative impacts of routing the line through the park.
The 500-kilovolt line would cut through the park near Fernwood Resort in Bushkill, following the path of a lower voltage power line that predates the park's creation. New towers twice the height of existing ones would be added, along with staging areas and new access roads.

Jersey City Fire Kills Family of Four
A four-alarm fire tore through a Jersey City residential block early Thursday, killing an elderly pastor, his wife and two grown children, the mayor said.
Mayor Steven Fulop said a communication error resulted in firefighters initially responding to the wrong address, following the fire's outbreak shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday.
Mr. Fulop said a dispatcher initially erroneously relayed to emergency responders that the fire was on Grand Street instead of Grant Avenue, after receiving a 911 call from a "panicked caller."
This led to a seven-minute response time instead of the usual three to four minutes, he said.
But Mr. Fulop said it was already a multi-alarm fire by the time firefighters arrived on scene and cautioned that it was "premature to speculate" on the impact of the mistake. "We're obviously going to have to do an assessment," he added.
The mayor said the cause of the fire, which displaced 30 residents, remained under investigation. He added that displaced people were initially taken to a community center in Jersey City; officials are now working with relief organizations, such as the Red Cross, to find them temporary shelter.
The inferno left behind a scene of devastation: four properties, entirely gutted, sat smoldering Thursday afternoon, with another two neighboring buildings damaged.
Workers were digging up the road to turn off electricity and gas cables; a huge excavator that sat nearby will then demolish the four destroyed buildings, officials said.
According to neighbors, the dead pastor lived in one of the four gutted buildings with his wife and two middle-aged sons, whom they described as disabled. The man also ran a small church at the property.
"It was horrible," said Violet Robinson, 53, who fled from one of the affected apartments into the street as the fire spread. "The house was engulfed in flames. …We all knew the pastor was in there."
Neighbors added that he had led a service at the house Wednesday night, hours before the blaze erupted.
"His daughter said he sang 'Take Me Home' [at the service]… It's so sad," resident Leotha Butler said.
A woman, who identified herself as a granddaughter of the pastor, said she was too distressed to talk. She carried away the only item she had been able to retrieve from the blackened scene: a plastic sign bearing the name of her grandfather's church.
Corrections & amplifications: A dispatcher mistakenly sent firefighters to Grand Street in Jersey City instead of Grant Avenue, where a fire killed four people. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said the blaze was on Grand Avenue and firefighters wrongly went to Grant Street.

Boy oh boy, what a crummy year, huh? A quick glance at the Wikipedia rundown of all the biggest news events of the year confirms that absolutely nothing good came of 2012.
That's not to say the news itself wasn't worth watching.
Quite the contrary: As this compilation of the year's best local news bloopers clearly proves, 2012 was a banner year for people fucking up and/or acting really strange on camera.
Here's hoping that with society's steadily growing affinity for mean-spirited schadenfreude and the increasing permanence of Internet content, 2013 will be even bloopier.

I have some mixed feelings about this show. I got there at a perfect time, about 10 minutes before set 1. When the lights went down, I have to admit, I was relatively sure we were getting a First Tube opener, because the tour had been semi-predictable so far, with a few exceptions (Silent w/o Horse, Ride Captain Ride...). Anyway, the staticky noise in the beginning became Down With Disease and the night was off.
Down with Disease: This song is always hit or miss with me. For such a fabulous song, I hate that they always rush through it. It's always too fast. Now this one was pretty standard. The jam was long and, at times, pointless, but they brought it back around really well. In the end, I wasn't upset, but I was warmed up for something on fire.
Instead, there was Farmhouse. I LOVE this song, but it's kinda like it shows up every other show now. So I sat back and enjoyed the mellow "No Woman, No Cry" jam. I wasn't upset, but I was warmed up for something on fire.
Bathtub Gin was next. Okay, the show was progressively getting better. This Gin was easy, and the jam went way out. In my setlist, I almost labelled it Gin > Jam > Gin. The lights were really cool for this too. Like DwD, it came back around really nicely. The end reprised the Trey solo riff and closed the song in an atypical fashion.
After a short pause, Wolfman's Brother. I was starting to see a pattern here, with a bunch of standard songs. Sometimes, Wolfman's is so sweet is hurts. Sometimes, I feel like they're wasting my time, move on. This one was in between. Nice jam that I definitely enjoyed, good funk. The real pattern here was that, like the previous songs, the ending, the "come back around" part of the song was incredible. Trey hit the top of the bar chords making a very rock-song noise. I was really digging that.
Guyute would follow. Aanother standard. Phantasy Phish players have got to be cleaning up tonight. I must admit, though I've seen this song more than my share of times, this version was a crystal copy of the one of TSOTG. I had to enjoy its precision. Well executed.
Train Song. Train Song?! What the hell are they doing closing a totally standard set with Train Song? Again, well played, not too sloppy. Perfect harmonies. Not let down, but never really too into it to get worked up. And Trey must've known that, because before leaving stage, out comes a set 1...
You Enjoy Myself. What the hell? Is this the second set? A sweet, tight, very short YEM wrapped up the set. Very cool. Reminded me a lot of the 7-7-99 Charlotte vocal jam with the swinging lights. I can definitely credit Chris Kuroda with me enjoying this one. He controlled the jam more than any band member. I was totally digging YEM the entire time.
SET ONE IN RETROSPECT: I was not disappointed. But everyone around me loved it and I was still waiting for something huge. I was pretty psyched for set 2 to care about set 1 at this point. HIGHLIGHTS: Wolfman's Brother jam, Gin jam, YEM.
Set Break: Met a ton of new people: Douglas, MS, D-man, Ugly Pig, 566, Dexy, Brian G... pretty cool. Also, my dad had paged me mid-set, so, for the first time, I talked to my Dad mid-Phish show. He told me he saw tix for MCI on e-Bay, but didn't bid because he assumed that I had to have tickets. He knows his son well.
Set 2 opened with Sample. My eyes rolled back and I was having flashbacks of Worcester 98 night 2, where everything was user friendly and Hoist-ish. Where the hell is my Peaches? But, alas, Sample was pretty decent, and not too long. Quick comment: Even if the song isn't my favorite, if they keep it brief and tight, I can't say I mind. As it was with Sample.
Next up was Maze. The first time for the show I was pretty pleased with the song choice. Maze gets the crowd going. And I was swinging around like a little monkey.
Free. I love this song. I got sick of it in 96 when it was on the radio every 30 seconds, but since this summer or so I relearned to love it. This was the wackiest Free I've ever heard with the exception of 11/22/95 (which ain't all that) Right before the "I've floating in the blimp a lot, I feel the feeling I forgot...." bridge part in the middle, they launched into a ridiculously long jam. Trey hit the keys and I kicked back into cruise mode. It must've gone on for about twenty minutes - a really good twenty minutes - before Trey suddenly realized they were playing Free. They returned to the song like they never left it. The set was steadily getting better.
Now listen, I don't know who called in the setlist, but there was no segue between Free and Dirt. It's certainly not a segue when feeback from the end of one song drags 15 seconds and then the next song starts. A segue doesn't just imply no noise.
Dirt. Dirt is Dirt, but you know what? This is as clean and crisp and Dirt can get. If you like this song, you'll want the tapes. As impressive as the first time I feel in love with this song.
Then it came. The song I had called: Reba. Oh, sweet mother, this was the show-maker for me. This was like watching Phish in 1993. It was so well played. I had to smile the whole time. This jam wasn't the best I've ever heard, but, son-of-a-bitch if it wasn't just as good as any moment I've had at a Phish show. I got toally introspective. I was out and back. I was watching the crowd. I was deep in my thoughts in my head. I was LOVING LIFE. This is what people come to Phish shows to see! This is why I travel to fucking Florida to watch four ugly Vermonters play music for endless hours! This is why people I've never met and I are hugging and hanging out during setbreak! This is why I am here! Phish at their humblest! But it had to end. What the hell could possibly follow that?
Halley's Comet: You know what? Not a half bad choice! This was without question the shortest Halley's I've ever even heard. I bet it clocks less than 5 minutes. It was very tight. I was impressed. Then out of absolutely nowhere -
Suzy: WHAT!? SA-WEET! This was the equivalent of injecting the crowd with an adrenaline shot. The place went wild! Maybe this was the show maker! (NOTE: This was a segue. There was NO definable pause between songs, except maybe one beat in the rhythm.) I never saw it coming. One second it was Halley's, the next it was Suzy. I love Suzy, even if she did forget the Dude's name.
SET 2 IN RETROSPECT: It built up so nice and got progressively better. Highlights include an awesome but whistling-less Reba, a pristine Dirt, and a totally cracked Suzy!
Frankenstein: Yeeeeeeeah! I was flashing back to the mega-Frank in Barcelona in August 98. This one was a powerful little number. The crowd was still flying off the walls. Gotta love Edgar Winter.
Rocky Top: Isn't everyone just happy to get a two song encore? This was a nice Rocky Top, and careful listeners heard a little Frankenstein at the end. I almost felt like they didn't want to leave the stage. Nice.
BOTTOM LINE: Well, I didn't get my First Tube, Sand, Free Thought or Jibboo (C'Mon Hampton!) This is my first show where every song was a repeat. But overall, I enjoyed myself. A Lot. Reba and Suzy were two ladies that made the night most worthwhile. Some fans keen on quality will want to check out crystal versions of Dirt and Guyute.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - After nearly 30 years of police duty, Jeff Layman wants to continue his public service in an elected role.
Layman, of Eagle-Vail, is the Republican candidate for the District 1 Eagle County Commissioner post currently held by Democrat Peter Runyon. Layman said he decided to run because he believes his life in public service is a "calling."
"I really feel it's what I was put on earth for - I've been doing it for 32 years," he said. Layman said his law enforcement background has given him the experience - and local connections - needed to be an effective commissioner right away.
That experience makes him uniquely qualified to be a commissioner, Layman said.
While Layman believes his experience with other officials in the valley gives him an edge, he added that seeing people at their worst, or most vulnerable, when he was a street cop has also given him an appreciation for treating people with compassion and dignity.
"I've had people I've arrested for DUI or domestic situations thank me later - although there haven't been many of those," he said. "But I've always done my job in the most humane way possible."
Talking about dealing with people and problems in a humane, pragmatic way, Layman said that would be the approach he'd take as commissioner to the county's next round of budget cuts.
More budget cuts coming
After preparing for a couple of years for this year's drop in property tax revenue, the county will face another drop in revenue starting in 2014, since the county has now gone through two consecutive drops in property valuations in the state's two-year cycle.
Tackling the next round of cuts is going to be tough, Layman said.
"I've never been a fan of across-the-board cuts," he said. "It's easy, and it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings, but you end up cutting services used by most people."
Layman said a better alternative is to conduct a "pragmatic, thoughtful evaluation" of all county departments.
While acknowledging the county has already taken a "back to basics" approach with budgeting, Layman said a year like 2014 will require the county to provide only the services required by state law.
To ease the strain, Layman believes the county needs to find partners in the local nonprofit community, or among the county's special districts that might be able to provide services more efficiently than the county can.
Layman, who is a member of the Vail Valley Cares board of directors, said that fund-raising nonprofit group - which operates the Thrifty Shops in Eagle and Edwards - recently awarded $250,000 in grants to a group of local nonprofit groups. That sort of cooperation could be an opportunity to better use the county's funds, he said.
What about open space?
Layman has said he has serious reservations about the county's open space program, now a decade old. That program generates about $4 million per year from a dedicated property tax levy. Layman said he was troubled by the county's first big purchases - which essentially paid local ranchers not to develop their property.
"We were buying without (public access)," Layman said. "I think that set the tone for the current unrest about (the program)."
Since those early days, though, county officials have been buying property outright, and ensuring public access to local rivers. But, Layman said, there's a problem with that strategy, too.
"The original ballot language didn't support spending on improvements," he said. "I think parking lots, boat ramps and bathrooms are improvements."
Any changes to the tax would have to be approved by voters, and Layman said he'd like to hold public hearings to determine whether residents want to abolish or change the tax.
Layman said he'd lobby for hearings even if his is the only new voice on the board.
"It's important to develop working relationships with the other commissioners on open space," he said. "We've got to find common ground."
Helping the economy
While substantial parts of the local economy continue to struggle, Layman said there are policies the county can pursue that could help businesses.
"It's important to re-develop our housing guidelines - they're too rigid now," Layman said. "We need to be able to adjust as we go."
Layman said he'd also like to see if money currently used for the county's down payment assistance program could be used to help residents stave off foreclosure.
"The government can't always be the answer to every problem," Layman said. "But there are ways the government can help."
Layman said he remains bullish on the county's economic prospects, from a Whole Foods store coming to Basalt, to Gypsum's recent approval of a power-generating plant that uses beetle-killed timber to Eagle trying to market itself to mountain biking enthusiasts and the valley's embrace of health and wellness as a business model.
"We need to support all of that, whether it's with dollars or getting out of the way," he said.
And, he said, he supports the idea of an international terminal at the county airport as a way to bring still more paying customers to the valley.
But support for business has its limits.
"Not every development is in the best interests of the community," Layman said. "But you can't start every conversation with 'no.'"

Autism Speaks U Rocks for Autism on the Vans Warped Tour
This is a guest post by Christina-Marie Drake. Christina is a 20-year-old student at Defiance College, where she is President of the Delta Pi Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, a cheerleader, editor-in-chief of the newspaper, a Citizen Leader, a pageant winner, and a Mixed Media Studies major. She is an Autism Speaks U Student Leader and helps to spread awareness and raise funds for those affected by autism.
As a San Diego, Calif. native, I started getting involved in the local music scene at age 14after spending five years in concert band where I learned to play over 13 instruments! While working in San Diego with local bands, I started putting on benefit concerts. The first was for breast cancer as part of my Teen Miss Lakeside 2006 pageant platform. The next concert I put on was for children's diabetes, which raised $6,000. Most recently, my insanely crazy but fun schedule took on another task, a self-made project called "Rock For Autism." I began working on my "Rock For Autism" (RFA) project using the contacts I have made in the 3 years I was involved. This new project, in addition to the benefit shows already put on, got me national recognition from Seventeen magazine, The Quill, and local papers around the states.
I moved to college where my sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, partnered with Autism Speaks around the same time. I was preparing to invest in the creation of my "Rock For Autism" project. After the sorority partnership, and my work at the YMCA and college with some students who have autism, I decided to contact Autism Speaks in hopes of gaining their support, too. I was then introduced to Autism Speaks U, an initiative of Autism Speaks that works with college students who host fundraising, awareness and advocacy events. They welcomed my project with open arms. By the time I got in touch with the organization, RFA had already participated on a variety of local tours with bands including The Summer Set, Every Avenue, Hotspur, There For Tomorrow, Hit the Lights, Sparks the Rescue, Four Year Strong, Blink-182, and AFI. The next undertaking was this year's Vans Warped Tour.
Vans Warped Tour is a national tour that services an average of 12,000-15,000 kids a day with a variety of acts. During the tour, RFA will have a booth set up that will be fundraising for Autism Speaks U in an innovative way that will appeal to the student demographic. RFA will have a dice game in which everyone wins for just a buck! Prizes range from pins to skatedecks and more, all while spreading awareness and education to the next generation autism will affect more directly. The tour will run June 25-August 11 and you can come by the booth at any time at any of those cities to support the cause! Click here for a list of cities.
For those of you not able to attend the tour dates, connect with me on Twitter @ChristinaRFA for immediate updates or make a donation to my online fundraising page.

The front half of the first set is pretty solid from the Landlady, into an early Possum, through the standard Bouncing and Ice. You can tell right away that the tempos are up there tonight. It sounds like the natural reverb of the room or the sound system created a strange echo effect because Glide had some timing problems, like they couldnt hear each other, and was also too fast. Jim had a really nice jam and was well played. Forbins was even too fast for my taste. The usual ridiculous story follows, with great teases from Page, before a decent Mockingbird. Maze actually was a little weak tonight, but still rocked. Usually this one is automatic, but just wasnt all there. IDK was funny as usual with Fish on the washboard for this one. Golgi had a few off spots here and there and Trey completely muffed the ending lick making for an awkward ending to a rocking set.
Second set starts off with another trip into Gamehenge with a rusty sounding Wilson, and Trey blows the lyrics. The Curtain starts off good, but almost fell apart in the middle. Trey is showing his trademark impatient behavior as he slips right into the Tweezer lick before the Curtain even ended. Tweezer rocked in the usual fashion and then we have Contact? I dont think Ive ever heard one in the middle of the set before and this one was pretty well played. Pen was super fast and had a weak ending and then the Balls come out Mikes Song starts off with a weird funky lick and I cant tell what they are teasing here. Mike goes with it anyway and the jam is a little aimless again, but it sounds like the Simple lick is really taking shape from Treys part. Hydrogen has its usual slop and little timing issues. Weekapaug had a long dynamic jam and sounds like there are more unidentified teases in there. Trey blows the lyrics to an otherwise good Fee. The impatient Trey goes right into the Tweeprise lick, like he has somewhere else to be.
The new Theres Something Wrong with My Baby moves to the encore spot tonight and I really like how all four of them sing on this one. Its pretty early in their career for Fishman to be singing leads with them. Everyone gets shushed for a decent Carolina, and then a fast and furious Rocky Top closes up the night nicely.
Its not a bad show, but Treys impatient song switching and Fish pushing the beat too fast in every song made this one just average to my ears. Im going with three stars to bring the average down on this one.

A central Missouri ethanol plant is suspending production Feb. 1, saying the extended drought has made it almost impossible to get enough corn to make the alternative fuel, a plant spokesman said Friday.
POET Biorefining plans to keep its Macon facility open and all 44 employees will keep working, spokesman Matt Merritt said. The company plans to move ahead with $14.5 million in plant upgrades, and workers will use the down time to help with some of the upgrades.
The drought that has dragged on since last spring has taken a toll on corn, and Missouri has been hit hard.
The state isn't alone. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report earlier this month showing that for the 2012 growing season, farmers harvested 10.8 billion bushels of corn, less than three-fourths of what the agency predicted last spring.
President Barack Obama visited the Macon plant in April 2010 as part of a tour of three corn-growing states — Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. During that tour, the president reaffirmed the goal of tripling U.S. ethanol production in 12 years, in part to make the nation less dependent on foreign oil.
Merritt said POET will continue to purchase corn for future use when it becomes available. There is no timetable for when production will resume.
POET operates 27 plants in seven states and is based in Sioux Falls, S.D. The Macon plant has been in operation since 2000.

It's Sewing Indie Month!!!
Guess what? Britex is a proud supporter of Sewing Indie Month happening right now! Sewing Indie Month is an online party with 21 independent sewing pattern designers and their best friends (that would be you)!
In the organizer's own words…
"Sewing Indie Month is all about making new friends and sewing great garments. See, when you're an independent sewing pattern designer sometimes you really wish you could ask your fellow designers' advice, or even just commiserate about how little sleep you get when there's an error in one of your patterns. That can seem weird and presumptuous though, asking a stranger, a competing business owner, to chat about certain things they'd rather keep private. But that's the great thing about being an indie designer, your fellow designers aren't your competition, they're your allies."
You won't want to miss the sewalongs lead by some mighty awesome bloggers (including our very own Guest Blogger Laura Mae). Sewalong themes and blogs follow:
Indie Love Affair – Wanett of Sown Brooklyn
Dressed to the Nines – Laura of Lilacs and Lace
Everyday Casual – Jenny of Cashmerette

OAKLAND -- The Raiders' hopes of reaching the halfway point of the season with a .500 record were buried under the rubble of big plays in a 42-32 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at O.co Coliseum on Sunday.
Rookie running back Doug Martin rushed for 251 yards on 25 carries and had touchdown runs of 45, 67, 70 and 1 yards as the Bucs amassed 515 yards of total offense.
Most galling to the Raiders, the Bucs got 437 of those yards and four touchdowns on 17 offensive plays of 10 yards or more.
"We talked all week about big plays and trying to prevent 'em," Raiders defensive end Dave Tollefson said. "You look at all those backbreaking scores ... we've just got to get some stuff cleaned up."
Instead of a three-game winning streak and a .500 record, the Raiders take a 3-5 record into the second half of the season, a game behind the second-place San Diego Chargers (4-4) and two games behind the Denver Broncos (5-3) in the AFC West.
Tampa Bay (4-4) had to work for it in the fourth quarter as the Raiders overcame a 35-17 deficit after Martin's 70-yard run to close within 35-32 on Carson Palmer's fourth touchdown pass of the game, a 13-yarder to Marcel Reece with 3:51 left.
With Darren McFadden out since the second quarter with an ankle injury of undetermined severity (X-rays were negative) and a big deficit, Palmer completed 39 of 61 passes for 414 yards.
The pass to Reece came after a 25-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater and scores of 4 yards and 1 yard to tight end Brandon Myers, and the final scoring drive came on patient throws underneath.
After the Raiders came up with a defensive stand and a three-and-out, Palmer and the Raiders got the ball back with 2:42 to play and two timeouts -- plenty of time to get in position for a touchdown or game-tying field goal.
Instead, Palmer threw incomplete down the left sideline to Streater on first down, then tried it again on the very next pass to Denarius Moore, throwing a floater off his back foot that was intercepted by Ahmad Black.
Black returned it 34 yards to the Oakland 22, and three carries later, Martin had his fourth touchdown of the day, this one from a yard out.
The Bucs led 42-32 with 1:49 left, and all that was left was for Palmer to throw his third interception of the game, this one by E.J. Biggers.
Palmer and Raiders coach Dennis Allen were fine with the decision to take shots downfield, although there were problems with the execution.
Allen did take exception with the Raiders' ability to tackle, particularly against Martin, who had the biggest rushing game against Oakland since Seattle's Shawn Alexander gained 266 yards on 35 carries in the rain at Husky Stadium in 2001.
Martin, a Northern Californian native, had 221 yards on 17 carries in the second half, which began with the Raiders leading 10-7 after Palmer's touchdown pass to Streater with 1:20 left before intermission.
"We had an opportunity to make a few big plays and missed some tackles, and when you miss tackles on that guy (Martin), he takes them for big gains," Allen said.
Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman completed 18 of 30 passes for 247 yards and touchdown passes of 25 yards to Vincent Jackson and 4 yards to Mike Williams.
"Doug comes out, explodes, Vincent made some explosive plays, Mike Williams made some explosive plays," Freeman said. "Guys are taking a lot of pride in their work and coming out and executing on Sundays."
Both of the scores, as well as a 64-yard pass to Jackson that preceded his touchdown, came against cornerback Michael Huff. Coming off three solid game, Huff made no excuses.
The long pass came on a third-and-15 when Huff bit on an in-fake by Jackson, only to see the wide receiver fly past him and into the clear.
"I should have stayed deep," Huff, the converted safety, said. "I should have trusted the coverage."
Strong safety Tyvon Branch, who led the Raiders with 11 tackles, said, "That wasn't our brand of football. That's not the way we've been executing the past few weeks. We've got to go watch the film, look ourselves in the mirror, come back in and fix it."

Not sure how they'll do that.
