Stud Plans for Big Brown Due Thursday
Big Brown will not race past his 3-year-old year as stud plans for the Derby winner are set to be announced May 15, according to IEAH Stables' Michael Iavarone.
Big Brown will not race past his 3-year-old year as stud plans for the Derby winner are set to be announced May 15, according to IEAH Stables' Michael Iavarone.
IEAH Stables and Paul Pompa Jr.'s Big Brown had his presence announced on the Churchill Downs track shortly before 7 a.m. May 11 with a loud clap of thunder. Unfazed, Big Brown went about his morning activity, jogging one mile with Michelle Nevin up accompanied by a pony.
Rick Dutrow, who once ran Golden Man at Monmouth on a Saturday and at Delaware the following day (finishing third and second, respectively), is not thrilled about having to run Big Brown back in two weeks in the May 17 Preakness Stakes.
Thoroughbred racing treads a fine line between its loftiest peak and its deepest abyss. Once again, celebration and sorrow clashed in the Kentucky Derby.
Michael Iavarone, an accomplished investment banker, hopes Big Brown pays big dividends in the Run for the Roses.
Probable Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) favorite Big Brown turned in his final serious work April 24 at Palm Meadows training center, breezing five furlongs in :58 3/5 under exercise rider Michelle Nevin.
Florida Derby (gr. I) winner Big Brown, likely favorite for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), breezed five furlongs in 1:00 3/5 at Palm Meadows Friday with regular exercise rider Michelle Nevin aboard.
Florida Derby (gr. I) winner Big Brown drilled five furlongs in 1:00 3/5 under regular exercise rider Michelle Nevin Saturday morning at Palm Meadows Training Center.
Kip Deville had not raced since winning the NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) last October. The question coming into the $300,000 Maker's Mark Mile (gr. IT) April 11 was obvious: How would the 5-year-old respond to the long layoff?
NetJets Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) winner Kip Deville makes his 5-year-old debut April 11 at Keeneland, but will have to take down 10 talented older horses in order to defend his Maker's Mark Mile (gr. IT) title, including multiple graded stakes winner Einstein.
Despite suffering from a case of laryngitis and unable to speak much, trainer Rick Dutrow Jr. said that Florida Derby (gr. I) runaway winner Big Brown came out of the March 29 event in good shape.
IEAH Stables and partners' Benny the Bull chased down Idiot Proof in the final yards to score by two lengths in the $2-million Dubai Golden Shaheen (UAE-I) March 29 at Nad al Sheba, giving trainer Rick Dutrow and jockey Edgar Prado their second victory on Dubai World Cup day.
Four Roses Thoroughbreds' Diamond Stripes scored the biggest victory of his career March 29 at Nad al Sheba in Dubai, bravely battling back on the rail in the final sixteenth to take the $1-million Godolphin Mile (UAE-II) by a length under Edgar Prado.
Normally a grade I race like the Florida Derby would be pretty clear-cut, filled mostly with horses who have proven themselves. Not so this year; not with unknowns such as Big Brown and Tomcito, two of the most intriguing Triple Crown hopefuls seen in quite a while.
Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) runner-up Elysium Fields and impressive allowance winner Big Brown turned in works this week in preparation for the $1 million Florida Derby (gr. I) March 29.
Seven 3-year-old fillies, including a pair of Breeders' Cup starters, will contest the Feb. 9 event at Santa Anita.
In winning for the second straight time, Benny the Bull nearly broke the track record Jan. 26 at Gulfstream Park.
The 5-year-old gelding faces six in the Jan. 26 sprint at Aqueduct.
Benny the Bull will look to tackle 10 rivals Jan. 26 in the Sunshine Millions Sprint at Gulfstream Park.
Benny the Bull saved ground in the early going, angled four-wide entering the lane and then pulled away for a one-length victory in the Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash (gr. I) at Laurel Park on Nov. 24, scoring the first graded stakes win of his career.
Buckram Oaks Farm's 4-year-old Silver Train, winner of the TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I), worked six furlongs in 1:14 Friday morning at Palm Meadows as he prepares for his expected season debut in the $200,000 Richter Scale Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. II) going seven furlongs March 4.
It was a sunny December afternoon, with temperatures reaching the 50s and gusty winds blowing in from the northwest. The 2,453 hardcore racegoers who ventured to Aqueduct Racetrack on this Friday in 2003 had no way of knowing that they were witnessing the birth of a future winner of the Breeders' Cup Classic - Powered by Dodge (gr. I) and the leading candidate for Horse of the Year honors.
Although High Fly will have to wait until Tuesday morning to earn his way into the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) field during a scheduled half-mile workout at Churchill Downs, stablemates Noble Causeway and Sun King punched their tickets to Pimlico Race Course after pleasing trainer Nick Zito with their respective five-furlong workouts Monday morning
Fit Performer beat Drexel Monorail by 4 1/4 lengths Thursday in the $81,600 Interborough Handicap at Aqueduct.
The middle market was strong Monday during the opening session of the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale of 2-year-olds in training, with the median price increasing 10.0% over last year's comparable figure.
Joseph Allen's Roar Emotion, winner of the Demoiselle Stakes (gr. II) at Aqueduct on Nov. 30, heads a field of six entered for Saturday's $100,000 Cicada Stakes (gr. III) for 3-year-old filles at the Big A.

Leona Beldini, a 74-year-old Democrat, is accused of accepting $20,000 in illegal campaign contributions from a government informant who posed as a developer offering bribes in exchange for building approvals. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in prison.
Her lawyer has argued the charges were based on ambiguous statements taken out of context by prosecutors from video recordings secretively made by a government informant.
The informant, Solomon Dwek, spent five days testifying against Beldini, annotating the videos he surreptitiously produced with a miniature camera while posing as a developer trying to trade cash-stuffed FedEx envelopes for building approvals.
Dwek began cooperating with the FBI after being charged with bank fraud in 2006. His work to charges against 46 people. Beldini is the first to stand trial.

BURNHAM - An employee is in critical condition in an Allentown hospital after an explosion and fire occurred Wednesday afternoon at Standard Steel in Burnham.
Standard Steel reported in a press release that the explosion took place at around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Mifflin County Regional Police Department said the incident occurred in a building that is used as a locker room and shower area by employees. The building, which an employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity said was largely empty, is located between the machine shop and axle shop, adjacent to the plant's shipping and receiving facility.
Public Safety Director Phil Lucas said the report came into the Mifflin County Communications Center about five minutes after the blast and fire departments in the area were on the scene quickly. Lucas said at the time of the incident the initial cause was still undetermined, but that police were investigating.

Fire and EMS crews work at the site of a Wednesday explosion at Standard Steel in Burnham.
"We believe it to be a mechanical failure of some kind," he said. "It didn't have anything to do with manufacturing, it was not where they melt the steel or anything like that."
MCRPD Cpl. Arthur Stanton said the explosion was caused by a gas leak. He said the explosion occurred in a washroom that is attached to a storage facility.
"The explosion happened during a shift change," Stanton said. "This helped to minimize the injuries."
The washroom where the explosion happened is used by employees to shower and change clothes after a shift. Stanton also said the explosion caused a small section of the building and a nearby awning to collapse.
One employee, James Stringfellow, of Reedsville, was injured in the explosion, and all other employees were accounted for. Stringfellow was transported to the Lehigh Valley Hospital Burn Center, where he is listed in critical condition, according to an on call public relations correspondent at the hospital.
A member of Stringfellow's family told The Sentinel that he was responsive prior to being flown to the burn center and that a Mifflin County emergency medical technician told the family member that Stringfellow had burns over about 20 percent of his body, and they were believed to be first- and second-degree burns.
The family member also said Stringfellow identified the device that exploded as a gas-fueled, on-demand water heater. This family member said Stringfellow said he smelled gas in the room and tried to leave ahead of the explosion.
The statement from Standard Steel said routine plant operations were not affected and operations throughout the day continued as scheduled with no interruptions.

Equity Valuation in the Coal Seam Gas Industry

22nd Australasian Finance and Banking Conference 2009
The coal seam gas industry is an important and rapidly developing sector of the Australian mining industry and the economy as a whole. This sector provides an excellent site to test the relevance of the Hotelling Valuation Principle (HVP) in explaining the market capitalisation of this industry sector. In addition, the test enabled the test of which reserve classification best explains the market capitalisation of firms in the industry.
Currently, the majority of listed firms in this sector do not have positive cash flows from the sale of gas. The HVP posits that market values are a function of company reserves. We test five measures of firm reserves as explanations of market capitalisation. After controlling for scale differences, we find that 2P Reserves have the highest explanatory power. No other measure of reserves or resources plays any significant role in explaining market capitalisation. We conclude that the effort and cost undertaken by the industry in arriving at classification below the reserves category, the contingent and possible resource classification, has no meaning to capital markets.

on January 13, 2013 - 1:00 AM
Recently Bruce Caley suggested that I write a column about astronomical events occurring in 2013. I find this a compelling idea as I am just now in the process of annotating my own calendar for the year, copying birthdays and anniversaries in the new calendar from last year's. (If I don't do this, I end up invariably guessing the date of our anniversary wrong.) Thus this task will fit in perfectly for me, and I recommend it to you as well.
It is appropriate in any case to associate astronomical events with the calendar, for the calendar itself is largely defined by astronomy. The year corresponds to a revolution, the time it takes our Earth to pass once around the sun. Because the year takes 365.2422 days to complete one of these orbits, we have leap-year adjustments. Since 2013 is not divisible by four, this will not be a leap year and our calendar will have 365 days. (Very few of us will be around when that rule is next contradicted in 2100.)
Our day corresponds to a rotation of the Earth around its axis. And our month corresponds at least approximately to one of the moon's cycles through its phases. Since this takes 29.53 days, 12 of these lunar months is 354.36 days, more than 10 days short of a year.
Canadian science and science-fiction author Edward Willett has this to say about months: "Early societies corrected their lunar calendars by throwing in an extra month or days as necessary. There were literally hundreds of variations of these 'lunar-solar' calendars; the Jewish calendar, still in use, is one of these. The Roman Empire originally used a lunar-solar calendar, but it ended up in a hopeless mess because the people charged with keeping the calendar started fiddling with it to lengthen their terms of office or hasten or delay elections." And he adds, "Calendars change; politicians do not."
Two binding adjustments essentially fixed our modern calendar of months, days and years: the first by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, the second by Pope Gregory, whose mathematician Christopher Clavius developed the rules, in 1582 CE. These rulings were named for their sponsors as the Julian and Gregorian calendars. We continue to live under the latter today.
Only the week has no connection at all with nature. It is associated with Judeo-Christian tradition and the Biblical story of the Earth's creation in seven days. Although most of us consider this number of days in a week universal, historically there have been "weeks" of length varying from three to 10 days.
Here are the few local astronomical highlights that will occur this year.
April 28: Saturn will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the sun. This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons.
May 28: Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. The two bright planets will be within one degree of each other in the evening sky. The planet Mercury will also be visible nearby.
Oct. 18: Penumbral lunar eclipse. The sun, our source of natural light, has width. For that reason, two kinds of shadows occur on the side of the Earth away from the sun: a cone of complete shadow is called the umbra and the region partly hidden is called the penumbra. In this case the eclipse will be penumbral (partial) and will occur at about 7 p.m. Another penumbral lunar eclipse will take place on May 25, but so little of the moon will be in shadow that it will not be noticeable.
Meteor showers: April 21-22, Lyrids (20); May 5-6, Eta Aquarids (10); July 28-29, Southern Delta Aquarids (20); Aug. 12-13, Perseids (60); Oct. 21-22, Orionids (20); Nov. 17-18, Leonids (40); Dec. 13-15, Geminids (60). The number in parentheses represents the maximum number of visible meteors expected each hour.
Full moons: Jan. 26, Feb. 25, March 27, April 25, May 25, June 23, July 22, Aug. 20, Sept. 19, Oct. 18, Nov. 17 and Dec. 17.
On the first Saturday of each month, Buffalo Astronomical Association members sponsor a public night of viewing at the society's Beaver Meadow Nature Center in North Java.

Welcome to Mag and Tyre Direct!

If you cant find what you want when you search our wheels then please contact us. Perhaps we have them coming or know where to get them.
With such a variety of wheels we found the local tyre suppliers could not keep up. We needed specific sizes to fit our wheels on your vehicle. We now stock thousands of tyres covering nearly all sizes. If you need a hard to find aftermarket tyre or just a run of the mill size it is likely we have it.

We are striving to open more so that an even greater number of New Zealanders can take advantage of our super deals. Nearly all of our prices include fitting etc. There is no extra to pay. You will find our overall package is nearly always best.
Terminology Explained
Below you will find easy to use guides explaining the technical terms used to describe the features of wheels and tyres. Click on the top tabs to go to each section.
Wheel size is determined by the the diameter of the wheel (inches). The measurement doesn't include the rim flange. On a road tyre you will see a code such as 225/70R14 (please see our tyre section for a full explanation). The final number in the example '14' is the rim size measured in inches and therefore the wheel diameter.
PCD (pitch circle diameter) is often referred to as stud pattern. This is the diameter of a circle drawn through the center of your wheel's bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimeters and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have. Many American cars use the old inch format. To convert to the modern mm pcd simply multiply the inch measurement by 25.4. Example: if you know you have a 5x5 inch pattern the correct mm pcd is 5x127. If the pattern has an even number of mounting holes (four, six or eight lugs) simply measure from the center of one stud hole directly across the center of the wheel to the center of an opposite stud hole. With a five stud pattern, measure from the center of one stud hole to the center of the center hole and then double the measurement. For example, a vehicle with a bolt pattern of (5 x 120) means this vehicle's hub has five bolts or lugs, which measure 120 millimeters apart from one another diagonally. If you are at all unsure then consult one of our stores. We will know the stud pattern for your particular car.
Wheels have to be fitted with specific lug nuts/wheel nut on wheel studs/bolts to the wheel purchased. They are usually either flat, tapered, or ball seats,which means that the mounting surfaces are correspondingly flat, tapered, or spherical.
This refers to the center bore in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. In an ideal world the wheel should be a neat fit on the hub. To achieve this we carry a large range of center locating hub rings. Hub rings are hard plastic/aluminium rings that link the wheel to the vehicle. This centers the wheel and makes your wheel hub centric. Without hub rings it is possible to get vibrations even if the wheel and tire package is completely balanced. At Mag and Tyre Direct we probably carry the largest range of hub rings in New Zealand if not the world.
At Mag and Tyre Direct we probably carry the largest range of Center locating hub rings available in New Zealand and quite possibly the world.
What is Offset (et)? Your car requires a unique offset. Often referred to as ET this is where the wheel will sit in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle and is measured from the center line of the wheel.. Offset is usually stamped on the wheel and is measured in millimetres of et (et is the short form of the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which literally translates as insertion depth). Positive Offset A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned towards the outside face of the true centerline of the wheel. Most factory rims will have this type of offset.
Zero Offset When the hub mounting surface is centered within the rim, it is known as a zero offset.
Negative Offset If the hub mounting surface is on the inside (brake side) of the center line of the rim, it is considered a negative offset and is often associated with deep dish wheels
Offsets on aftermarket wheels can vary from factory original. If you are unsure please consult one of our stores for advice. We will know what works on most cars and a simple trial fit can confirm on the few we do not.
Construction Type: A letter which indicates the vehicle type/class or usage for which the tyre is intended (eg. P - passenger car)
Section width: The width of the tyre in millimeters from the widest point on both edges
Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the height of the tyre wall to the total width of the tyre (percentage).
Casing Construction: Indicates the construction of the tyre itself (eg. R - radial)
Rim Diameter: The diameter of the wheel (in inches) that the tyre is designed to fit
Load Index: ives the maximum load in pounds each tyre is designed to carry (see separate section for Load Index table)
Speed Rating: Indicates the max. speed the tyre can operate at (see separate section for Speed Rating table).
Tread: This section of the tyre provides contact with the road and is essential to maintain grip and stability whilst cornering. It also has to be protection against abrasion, impact and high temperatures.
Grooves: The channels within the tread to improvestability whilst driving, traction and braking ability.
Sipes: small slots cut/moulded into the tyre tread intended to improve traction in mud, ice, snoa and on wet road surfaces.
Shoulder: Positioned between the tread and upper tyre sidewall. It has to provide good heat dispersal.
Cap Plies: These are not found in all tyres, mainly in those with a higher speed rating. Constructed from polyster fabric they are belts which aid in keeping all tyre components together at high speed.
Steel Belts: In steel belted radials these serve to protect from punctures and also to keep the tread area remain flat for maximum contact on the road.
Bead chaffers: Or Apex reduces/minimises bead distortion and protects the bead against impact.
Bead: Braided steel cords holding the tyre in place on the wheel itself and creating the vacuum which keeps the tyre inflated.
Asymetrical ; Most new patterns are now going asymmetrical. This pattern features a distinct inside and outside. Combining 2 patterns across the tread allows for good dry weather grip and long wear. They are also able to achieve a quiet ride which was difficult to come by in the directional high performance tyres.
Directional; The Dirctional tread pattern is predominantly arrow shaped and is designed to run one way. The grooves running from the center of the tyre to the shoulder are to maximize the dispersement of water to the outside of the tyre thus enhancing wet weather grip.
Non Directional; Most of the smaller sizes tend to be non directional pattern. The performace is even no matter which way the tyre is rotated. This helps extend tread wear given the tyres can be swapped to any position on the car.
A: Commercial name
B: Country of Manufacture
C: European ECE type approval mark/number
D: Load capacity, Speed rating and tube type/tubeless
E: indicates exterior wall for fitting
F: Uniform tyre quality
G: Load and pressure information
H: Department of Transport marking
I: Brand Name
The 89 refers to the load rating of the tyre. You can check the load ratings in the table below. In this instance the load rating of 89 means 1279 pounds or approximately 600 kg. Multiply this number by 4 (assuming your vehicle has 4 wheels) and you have the total weight your vehicle can safely carry on this set of tyres.

Harry Whittington suffered an "asymptomatic heart attack," said Peter Banko, the administrator of Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Whittington underwent a successful catheterization to determine the extent of the damage and was moved back into the intensive care unit after undergoing the procedure, which showed that one BB-size pellet had entered his heart.
"Some of the bird shot appears to have moved and lodged into part of his heart in what we would say is a minor heart attack," Banko said during a news conference.
While at a ranch in Texas over the weekend, Cheney, 65, accidentally sprayed birdshot into Whittington while trying to hit a flock of quail. Whittington was "bruised more than bloodied," the Houston Chronicle reported.
"This all happened pretty quickly," Katharine Armstrong, whose family owns the 50,000-acre Armstrong Ranch, told The New York Times. Whittington, she said, "did not announce – which would be protocol – 'Hey, it's me, I'm coming up,' " she said. "So when a bird flushed and the vice president swung in to shoot it, Harry was where the bird was."
On Monday it was also revealed that Cheney violated the law over the weekend by failing to have a proper $7 upland game-bird stamp on his hunting permit. He is being issued a "warning citation" that carries no fines or penalties, the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife announced.
In a statement issued late Monday, Cheney's office blamed the parks and wildlife department for failing to include the stamp in the $140 cost of permits for Cheney's hunting trip, but added that "the vice president has sent a $7 check" to the agency, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Don't Cry For Private Equity
Does financial engineering always pay for Private Equity?
Despite the optics, yes.
As Dan Primack writes today:
When a company goes public, its initial success or failure often is gauged by comparing where its IPO priced against its proposed pricing range. So when crafts retailer Michaels Stores came in at the low end of its $17-$19 range last night, the immediate impulse was to view Michaels as a disappointment. In fact, someone said to me: "Bain and Blackstone can't be too happy about this."
Bain and Blackstone, of course, are the two private equity firms that originally took Michaels Stores private in the summer of 2006 for approximately $6 billion (existing investor Highfields Capital rolled over a small minority stake).
So here is what "not too happy" means in this particular case: The private equity sponsors committed approximately $1 billion of equity to the deal, the rest of which was leveraged financing. They never contributed additional equity, even though Michaels Stores appeared to be in trouble during the recession. At $17 per share, their aggregate stake is worth around $2.77 billion. Moreover, the sponsors last year pulled out $714 million via a dividend recap. They also received a $30 million termination fee related to the IPO (or $28 million if Highfields is excluded), because most LBO firms insist on being paid for work not done.
So it appears to be around a 3.5x cash-on-cash return right now (albeit mostly on paper). I guess happiness is in the eye of the beholder.
PS: Note that this is just the debut price and has little to do with the post-debut "pop" which makes for great optics but is actually terrible for the company.

It is heartbreaking when people get so involved in simply wanting their bird to stop a particular behavior that they simply don't care to find out why her behavior changed in the first place. Care enough about your friend to understand what motivates her current behavior — good or bad.
1) Always act with love, kindness and compassion. Be observant. Your bird depends on you to anticipate situations that may make her uncomfortable. Consider your home and your bird's experiences from her point of view. You are her entire world. Assess changes in the home, your routine or your health. Your bird may be fearful and her new or sudden "bad" behavior may be a desperate cry for your help.
2) Make your home a safe and harmonious environment for everyone, human and animal. Yelling or other heavy-handed techniques are never needed. Correction of negative behaviors can be as subtle and simple as just walking away from your bird for a few moments whenever she misbehaves.
3) Be your bird's best friend. Let her know that you will not subject her to anything that she perceives as dangerous. If she knows that you've "got her back," she will trust you implicitly and be considerably more tolerant of unfamiliar objects or situations.
4) Establish clear and comfortable physical and emotional boundaries for your bird and have everyone in the home reinforce them in the same manner.
5) Teach some simple, but important commands, such as: stepping off and onto a hand or perch; stopping whatever she is doing when you say "no"; coming to you when asked; readily accepting being placed in her cage.
6) Familiarize your bird with a portable playgym and a carrier long before they are needed. Do not use the carrier for only veterinary or grooming visits. Take your bird somewhere nearby and fun, or even just walk around the house with her in the carrier and offer her treats while she is inside.
7) Periodically change things around in your bird's area of the house to help her become more flexible. For a bird who is fearful of new objects or changes, this can be subtle, such as moving a chair or changing throw pillows on nearby furniture.
8) Teach your bird that visitors to your home can be positive and even a potential source of treats. Supervise her interactions with new people and praise her for accepting them. Never force your bird onto the hand of someone she does not feel comfortable with. Also, do not have people handle your bird if they are uncomfortable with birds.
9) We often confuse birds (and people) by only interacting with them when they are misbehaving and fail to teach them what behaviors we actually like. If you make it clear to your bird what you consider good behavior, your bird can develop a clear sense of what you like and don't like her to do.
10) Your bird is your best friend and a beloved and interactive family member. She needs to be kept aware of any changes in the environment. When there are changes in your home or family, talk to her as you would a small child. By explaining a divorce, an illness, a death, a move or a child going away to college for example, your bird may not understand exactly what you are saying, but she will understand that you are reassuring her and that everything will still be OK. This will help your bird feel more comfortable through whatever happens.

Donald Hertel, 43, of Rockaway Township, now faces being sentenced to up to 10 years in prison on second-degree endangering, and will be required to register as a Megan's Law offender.
After the jury of six men and six women, which deliberated the case over four days, could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charge of second-degree sex assault, Superior Court Judge David Ironson declared a mistrial on that count.
Three jurors, Linda Eckert of Succasunna, Marie Andersson of Kinnelon and Barbara Pressman of Lincoln Park said the vote was 11-1 in favor of not-guilty on the sex-assault charge, but there was no hope of changing the mind of the lone holdout.
"It was a difficult and strained effort to get to the count we did agree on," Eckert said. "There really were no smoking guns."
• Jury deliberations continue for Rockaway man accused in 'shower game' with boy at YMCA
• Jury to resume deliberations in case of Dover chaperone accused of sex assault of 11-year-old boy
• Closing arguments focus on 'shower game' in sexual assault trial of Morris County youth director
• Judge upholds charges against youth director accused in 'shower game'
Whether Hertel's intent was sexual during the 2006 incident was the key point argued in the trial by attorneys on both sides. As for the finding of guilt on child endangerment, Pressman said, "A big part of the argument was coming up with why this game was played in the first place."
Hertel, who was volunteer director of the Lenape Valley Municipal Alliance Committee, was accused of telling the boy to hold the front of his bathing suit open and then splashing water onto his genitals, alternating between hot and cold sprays.
As they did Thursday, the jury announced today in the morning and again in the late afternoon that it was a hung jury on the sex-assault charge and could not reach a unanimous verdict. Ironson then declared a mistrial on that charge.
The deliberated for some 18 hours over three days.
"We are very satisfied with the jury's guilty verdict," said Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi, adding that he now must decide whether to retry Hertel on the sex-assault charge.
However, even if re-tried on that offense and convicted, in all likelihood sentencing would merge with the endangering offense, meaning Hertel would not necessarily face any more prison time, Bianchi said.
Morris County Assistant Prosecutors John McNamara and LaJuan Tucker were the prosecutors, while Hertel was defended by Gerard Hanlon.

green green glass of home
Last week I was in Astana, the (administrative) capital of Kazakhstan. Sir Norman Foster is the man behind a new building, the Khan Shatyr, that will be shortly opened there and I went to help with the PR for this event. The building is quite something, but then so is Astana.
Originally and probably still in the hearts of most Kazakhs the capital of this country (popn 16 million, size 4 x Texas) is Almaty, but with an influx of oil dollars and some complex ethnic issues, it was decided to relocate the main city to a more central location. Pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
So they started building about 10 years ago, from a small town in the present location, and they continue building. This is the second Foster building to go up, following a glass pyramid some years back.
Its all interesting stuff, the state of public works says a lot about whats going on in a place, which is the purpose of course. Astana has all the bling of place starved of anything glamorous for a soviet length period of time, and the mix of different hues of glass reflects the multiethnic background. As well as being a historical melting pot pitched between Asia and Persia below it, it also served as Stalins dumping ground for unwanted peoples from across the Soviet Union. The stories of midnight mass deportations are as numerous as they are horrific. I once documented the remnants of an Italian diaspora living quietly (under invitation of Nicholas II during the 1850's) in the Crimean peninsular until they were dispatched to Kazakhstan during the 39-45 war. There were also Volga Germans, Kalmyk Bhuddists, Chechens, the list goes on and on.
So from this grimness it is good to see something grow. The climate is profound continental, with bitter winters, and this itself provided a problem for construction of the Khan Shatyr, as well as the inherent difficulties of what is essentially a massive tent - a canopy strung from an enormous central tripod. The location was a massive obstacle too. That didn't stop them putting a beach in the top floor.
And yes to Western taste Astana may have a little to much that jumps out into one's eyes, and maybe some of the interior decisions might seem far fetched. But they will stand as monuments to this time, and its background. Better to have started something and see where it leads, than not at all.
The soldiers pictured here seemed happy to have their pictures taken, they had just been demobilized. A little chapter in life was over and they were off back to a town somewhere out in the steppe. It all seemed fairly natural to them to be wandering around amongst the sky scrapers in the early morning being photographed by someone from another country. Tastes differ, as do approaches to what life happens to hold, for a country, or for the individual, and I've started to find it difficult to make judgments as to what is good/bad, right/wrong in this respect. I think its better to try to understand what is behind it, which is of course pretty impossible, and show it as it is. Awareness I guess. The camera never lies.

My test was earlier today and I felt awful after drinking that stuff. I still have nausea pretty bad on a regular basis, but I could barely keep myself from throwing up. I also got really dizzy/faint on the drive to my OB and had to pull over for a minute.
That damn little bottle should come with a warning!

2 Pa. priests removed over abuse allegations
PHILADELPHIA -- The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has removed two priests from ministry after an investigation into allegations that they sexually abused minors more than 40 years ago.
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said in a statement Sunday that separate investigations found that the Revs. James J. Collins and John P. Paul are unsuitable for the ministry.
The archdiocese said the cases were referred to the district attorney's office, which declined to press charges.
Both men can appeal the verdicts to the Vatican.

Halloween forecast: Temps in the mid-60s, clear skies across Dallas-Fort Worth
Here's tonight's trick-or-treating forecast from staff writer Natalie Posgate:
The mild weather should be a treat for all the boys and ghouls out trick-or-treating tonight.
After a warm day with a high around 75, clear skies will stick around once the sun goes down. For those who don't want their kiddos out after dark, the sun should set at 6:38 p.m.
After sundown, the cool-down won't be too drastic, according to Matt Mosier, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
"The temperatures will start to decrease once the sun goes down, so it will be in the mid-60s when everyone's out," he said.
After today, the first half of the week is looking warm, with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the 50s.
A cool front will pass through on Wednesday night, as well as a 30 percent chance of rain between 7 and 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday will see lows in the lower 40s and highs in the 60s.
The next possibility for rain comes Saturday, when there's a 20 percent chance.

Guess That Tag! Rumble: Bright Coloured Lines Winners Announcement2013-06-03 7 6 Share Tweet
Skies, lines, color, and silhouttes — that's what we based our previous Guess That Tag! Rumble from. And my, was it a guessing game!
We asked you to randomly guess three tags from the three Lomographs we provided. I suppose the Guess That Tag! Rumble was meant for people with very good luck. Let's stop the guessing for here are our winners of 10 Piggies each!
Crazily, nobody guessed the right tags for photo number 3 (in which almost everyone guessed "bridge, sky, or xpro — sorry guys!) so we had to choose a random winner using a Random Result Generator. And hey, luck is on pinkpix for she was picked!
Congratulations, everyone! Until the next! :)

How To Build Your Own Pan & Tilt
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Bobby Brown: Great video! Ive been looking at prices for a pan and tilt head before I seen this. Surprisingly Servocity has already caught my eye. After pricing the head that would work for me, I started considering a build. Your video helps me understand my option to build or buy with much more understanding. Thanks for sharing.
joesiv: For those interested still. Servo city actually sells a pan/tilt of similar design now for under 700. It has routing channels for cables, and the controller and speed controller. I just bought one, it comes pre-assembled. I got the mpt1100-ss. First impressions are very positive. Though I wish the low/high speed ratios were wider without adjusting the pots
TheRoadcarreview: It was and still is a big build
MrUnder30seconds: must be a big scratchbuild. (:
Jon Keller: You mentioned that you use this to film events, presumably in/near Muncie where you got the aluminum. I live in Lafayette, and am interested in building a similar pan/tilt rig, for timelapse landscape and astrophotography. Would you mind telling me of some events you'll be filming at, and could I stop by and take a look? Thanks!
EthereelProductions: How much did the pan and tilt ultimately cost?
TheSignSeeker: Really great, detailed explanation. Thanks for sharing.
lennartkns: i am the 20 000 viewer :)
Jayson Carey: if what you were trying to cut with the chop-saw was that aluminum tube, you wouldn't have needed that metal cutting blade, a normal wood blade works wonders.
MrTravelchannel: The gearmotors are pretty quiet, however I always take and use another method to record without being close to the motors. As for the gears, just jump on servocity and look for hub gears. They carry a variety to fit your needs. I've built my pan and tilt now to carry a load and thus the gears are aluminum.
7afsus: Man I like your video, you make it so simple. I'am now making a pan and tilt head mostly like yours, i know that at a slow speed the gearmotors are silent, but what about gears? specially if i'm installing a 15 kg camera on it? can you give me your opinion? Thank you. NB: Please excuse any mistakes in english :)
Mike Grant: I like you videos. very informative. I also build a bit of similar equipment you might like to see the pan and tilt head I built at my channel mikegrant865. I also use servo city stuff and find them good to work with. Regards Mike
scott bryce: can you make a shopping list, were you got the parts and list of parts. would greatly appreciate :D
Weaponeer: Servocity is a great company to work with. just worked with them on a special project of my own. using a worm drive, speed controller, and dual servo driver. and it works great.
DIY Video Equipment: @Slacknutz The motors are pretty quiet on their own. The pan is a 21 rpm model and the tilt which I still have not finished but have most all of the parts is 6 rpm. The 21 is what you need to move things fast. The speed controller makes it smooth. When the 21 is cranked up and moving at it's max you can hear the motor but it is very low. At slow speeds not at all. I get around it by relocating the mic through xlr cables. I have other videos at tlk40us. Most of the dance ones have cranes
kdj69: Many thanks for the reply...I understand now. One last question, I've come across some speed controllers from BaneBots - if you type the following into Google:- BaneBots Robot Parts: BB-3-9 ESC ...they are only $28 would they work just as well or in your opinion would it just be easier to buy the servocity speed contollers? Many thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to seeing some of your music video footage. Thanks again.
DIY Video Equipment: @kdj69 @kdj69 The 12v goes to the goes to the speed controller then back to the joystick. The single joystick is all that is needed to run both the pan and tilt. You will need to speed controllers. One for each. The single power supply will run both. Servocity will help you through the process. The only thing I recommend is buy the motors with a higher RPM. I've got this wild hair to build servos in the crane to lift and spin the unit while I sit in a chair and watch a monitor. Not yet!
kdj69: Like this video...you explain it really well. So the 12v power goes into the speed controller and not into the joystick? If I have two speed controllers for the pan & tilt does that mean I need two 12v batteries (one to each speed controller) ...and if so would the joystick then be able to convert 2 x 12v down to 6v? Is the joystick designed to take two speed controllers? Or would I need two joysticks - one for each controller? Just want to be sure before I order from servocity !
DIY Video Equipment: @GTImotion I just found out that for each motor you must have a speed controller. These speed controller modulate the power going to the unit. I wish it was the other way it would have saved a $100.
DIY Video Equipment: @GTImotion good question. My assumption was that I needed a separate speed control because each motor was controlled individually. Now that you brought it up, I'm going to find out. If one can run both, you just saved me $100. I'll get back with you.

Hi, everyone, Merry Christmas! Have you enjoyed our free Diablo 3 gold seckill on CheapDiablo first Free SecKill? We prepared a great gift for all customers on Dec. 25 for Christmas! You can get the chance to get free gold with joining our 100000K Diablo 3 gold seckill. To make you a better time in the game, you can come to CheapDiablo to buy cheap gold for Diablo 3 at any time! Now, I would share some ideas about gold inflation in the game!
What is the gold in Diablo 3?
Gold is the currency put in place by Blizzard to give players an easier way to trade than in their previous installment of Diablo which completely relied upon weighing the worth of specific items and making item for item trades. Gold has little to no intrinsic value in the Diablo world. It is required for two absolutely necessary things on Softcore and only one on Hardcore. You are required to repair your gear, this only really effects Softcore players, and to upgrade your gems.
How is gold relatively useless?
The weight of gold is determined by the demand for higher tier gems and gear you can craft at the artisans. At the moment, creating higher tier gems takes priority over crafting gear, but this will, in time, change on Softcore. Eventually the demand for gems will decrease as players start equipping themselves with the best gems, or ones high enough for their "standards", and gold will be used to fuel the crafting of gear. Every d3 gold you find holds pure value based on the demands for gems, crafted items, stash space, and repair costs. When you boil it down you begin to see how little gold really does, but that is why there is so much of it.
What is Gold Inflation in Diablo 3?
Gold inflation, to a degree, is a good thing for you, Blizzard, and the game's health. Without it, we would be stuck with a system that inhibits a player's chance to strike it big and land themselves a comfy seat among the elite. It keeps the doors of opportunity open to the masses. Inflation is caused by the total sum of gold in the system increasing. Most active players will gain more than the overall gold-pool increase rate due to there being people less active and people who have quit or on break, etc.
What Inflation means to you?
You, as a player, will benefit from inflation as long as you are increasing your wealth at a steady rate in proportion to the inflation rate. You will also be hurt if your wealth is increasing at a slower rate. As long as you are progressing toward that global economic growth rate you are benefiting from inflation due to its nature of giving players access to better gear quicker, alleviating repair costs, and overall helping you catch up to the big fish in the Diablo world. Once your progression declines you begin to see the negative effects which involve you falling behind in the race to the top.
With all these information I mentioned, you should never worry about gold inflation in the game! Just take it easy and enjoy every minute with your Diablo 3! CheapDiablo will very glad to provide you cheap d3 gold all the time! Have fun!

INDIANA - Members of the 420th Engineering Company (Clearance) were greeted with thunderous applause and tears during a welcome home ceremony on Wednesday at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
The 135 Army Reservists based out of Indiana returned home after a 11-month deployment to Afghanistan.
Family and friends cheered as the soldiers entered the arena and saw their loved ones for the first time in months.

Friends and family cheer for the returning reservists Wednesday at IUP.
"It doesn't get easier," said Mary Crook of Cherry Tree.
Crook and her husband, Dayton, stood in the cold outside of the Memorial Field House anxiously awaiting the arrival of their son, Staff Sgt. James Crook, 38, of Bradenville.
"I cried yesterday," Mary Crook said. "I prayed for him every day."
John and Cheryl Fleck of Altoona said it was hard at times to cope with the first overseas deployment of their son, Shea Fleck.
"It was very difficult," Cheryl Fleck said. "There wasn't a day that went by that we didn't think about him."
Indiana Mayor George Hood stood outside, shaking hands with each soldier as they exited their bus.
"I'm just elated and happy," Hood said.
Hundreds of individuals gathered at IUP to welcome the Army Reservists home. The troops were ushered inside the basketball arena to see their loved ones as members of the IUP ROTC helped unload and organize the soldiers' gear.
After being released to their loved ones, the troops and their families embraced on the basketball court for the first time since Thanksgiving, when some of the troops were on leave.
"Those are our babies that are over there," said Patty Miller, whose son, Sgt. Adam Duraso, served as one of the group's senior medics.
Miller said she was constantly thinking of her son and anxiously awaited his return to the states.
"First thought in the morning, last thought at night," Miller said. "If you wake up at night, that's the thought you have."
"These guys did it extremely well, and I know you're very proud of them," said Capt. John Forte, as he spoke to the crowd.
In addition to dozens of combat medals, 14 Purple Hearts were awarded to the unit, Forte said.
The soldiers completed 480 missions over the past 10 months, which equates to about one and a half missions per day, Forte said.
About 70 percent of the soldiers in the unit saw combat, he said.
Linda Cassarly of Altoona said a slight paperwork error forced her to drive to Philadelphia to pick up her son, Sgt. Peter Cassarly.
"I feel very humbled and blessed that he and the whole unit have come home ... it was a very good year," she said. "I would have gone to the Afghan airport if I had to. I think that they deserve the recognition of coming home."
For Sgt. Adam Duraso, who worked as a medic in addition to serving in combat, adjusting to life at home and not having to worry about his phone constantly going off was a relief.
Does it feel good to be home?
"Beyond," Duraso said.

Best dive bars in Chicago
The best dive bars in Chicago offer low-key nights out and greasy snacks, plus cheap beer and cocktails
Fancy nights out are fun and all, but sometimes you just want to pull up a barstool to a bar that doesn't require a dress code. We love these dives because the bartenders won't give you the side eye for ordering the cheapest beer on the menu and many offer karaoke—and even craft beer. And lucky for Chicago drinkers, hole-in-the-wall dive bars exist on just about every other corner of the city. Visit one of these no-frills beer bars and neighborhood taverns, but don't forget to stop by the ATM before ordering your drink—many of these bars are cash-only.
RECOMMENDED: Best bars in Chicago
Chicago's best dive bars
Alice's Lounge
This long, wooden bar is helmed by a few middle-aged women who, on Sundays, mix huge batches of kamikazes and sell them for $2 a pop—but the real draw here is karaoke. If you get there and the door's locked, don't get discouraged. Just ring the bell over and over again (sometimes the bartenders can't hear it over yet another version of "Don't Stop Believin' ").Read more
This inconspicuous bar is equal parts after-work dive and Antiques Roadshow. Amid dusty knickknacks and bric-a-brac, the family who runs the place will pour you a stiff drink and then try to sell you a Civil War–era revolver, a set of buffalo-themed shot glasses or anything else lying around—anything except for the patriarch's wall-mounted marlin and the Hamm's sign hanging out front.Read more
A silver disco ball throws bright spots onto tomato-red walls and a mini karaoke stage at one of the longest-standing Polish joints in this area. Cocktails may be 50 cents more during Saturday-night karaoke, but Mondays still offer $5 pitchers, and a penny-pincher special can be had on nearly every other night of the week (especially if you're into kamikazes). Go quick before this one goes the way of Wicker Park.Read more
Carol's Pub
A honky-tonk in Sheridan Park with $1.50 domestics on Mondays, country & western karaoke on Thursdays and the house band Diamondback on weekends, featuring sassy little Reba singin' and strummin' rhythm with a darn good gee-tar picker on lead. A pool table in back, greasy grill turning out late-night burgers and Hank-filled jukebox round out the grit fest.Read more
Chipp Inn
Vodka Collins? No. Margarita? Sorry. Apple martini? Not a chance. Better just grab a beer or a shot of whiskey and sit down. The history of this blue-collar watering hole is told through the flyers and newspaper clippings that clutter the walls. From what we can tell, looks as if the place hasn't changed much at all.Read more
George's Cocktail Lounge
Though old George has been bellying up to the big tavern in the sky for decades, his small tavern survives untouched, save the digital juke. A true dive, within these smoke-stained, wood-paneled walls, the beer's mostly canned and on-tap suds are limited to Bud and Bud Light. Not exactly what we would call selection, but the construction crews who frequent George's like it just fine.Read more
Gino's North
In this gem of a bar/pizza parlor, a statue of a Rubenesque woman is the center of the room, and regulars gather around her to sip Bloody Marys and debate this and that. The kitchen puts out a nice deep-dish, with a crispy crust and a well-spiced (if slightly sweet) sauce. We'd tell you to go for the Gino's "special," with its chunks of sausage and strips of green pepper. But really, with this atmosphere, your night's going to be special no matter what you get.Read more
Happy Village
A gurgling goldfish pond, picnic tables galore and a lush lawn all around is the scene at this West Town dive. But when it rains (or at 11pm, when the garden closes), pack up the ciggies and head back inside, where the smell of whiskey and cheap beer hangs in the air, drunks angle for a turn on the Ping-Pong tables, and the jukebox coughs out the Cars and Madonna.Read more
J&M Tap
As at the nearby Rainbo Club, the hipness quotient at this stripped-down Ukie V stalwart known as the Secret Squirrel has shot through its nicotine-stained ceiling, paralleling the changing demographics of the neighborhood. You can still belly up with a couple of actual Ukrainian expats in the afternoon, but eager twentysomethings with energy (and hormones) to burn rule the night.Read more
L & L Tavern
The Clark and Belmont hood is a unique mix of Boystown dwellers, wasted Cubs fans and local renters who love a bargain. This no-frills Lakeview tavern keeps the madness at bay in favor of friendly bartenders who buy rounds during afternoon Jeopardy!, a $2 beer-of-the-month and a great collection of two-dozen Irish whiskeys.Read more

"The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'" This Scripture from Psalms 14:1 best captures the debate, says Ray Comfort.
Click play for a CBN Newswatch segment on the debate.
The face-off between two Christians and two atheists airs May 9 at 11:35 p.m. EST on ABC's Nightline, and can be viewed in segments beginning Wednesday May 9 at 1:00 p.m. on ABC's Web site. Look for part II Thursday May 10.
Holding back a laugh, Comfort told CBN News that the greatest strengths on his side of the debate were "my good looks and humility and Kirk Cameron's ability to teach."
All joking aside, the issue at hand during Saturday's recorded Nightline debate in New York was very serious: "Can God's existence be proven?"
Living Waters' Comfort and Kirk Cameron tackle this topic against atheists Brian and Kelly, co-founders of the Rational Response Squad.
Preparing Hearts
Before the debate began, Comfort was pleasantly surprised by his challengers' parents.
"The mother of one of the atheists we debated contacted me. She said 'I am a Christian. I watch your television program twice a week, and I am earnestly praying for you guys, and thank you for befriending my son,'" said Comfort.
"The female atheist - the other one who was debating us - her mother is a Christian," added Comfort. "She was sitting in the front row of the church. She came up and said she was earnestly praying for us and thanked us for doing the debate."
Comfort told CBN News that Brian and Kelly were deliberately not listening to the evidence proving God's existence. Yet he said, "I pray that God opens the eyes of these guys."
Let the Debate Begin
When asked what the audience could expect as they tune in to Wednesday's segment of Nightline, Comfort described the setting.
"We felt like two goldfish in a bowl of piranhas. There were 100 people allowed in the church, 50 percent atheists and 50 percent believers," said Comfort. "The believers were polite and quiet. The atheists were rude and loud."
Learn more about witnessing to atheists by clicking on a review of Comfort's best-selling book God Doesn't Believe in Atheists.
Comfort and Cameron presented evidence proving God's existence through creation, DNA structure, conscience and conversion. He described arguments from the other side as being baseless and anything but rational.
After telling CBN News that God's existence is obvious through all of creation, Comfort referred to Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
Opening the Door
With approximately 19 million visitors being informed about the debate on ABC's Web site, and an anticipated 5 million viewing it on Nightline Wednesday night, Comfort sees the face-off primarily as a witnessing opportunity.
He hopes the debate will open doors to future public debates about God's existence, creation science vs. evolution and other Christian issues.
"It's very healthy to have public debates," Comfort said. "No other country does this."
The best-selling author added that he was encouraged days after the event, "An atheist wrote to us, and he said he was at the debate and it really made him think."

At the conclusion of our interview Comfort encouraged viewers to "Watch the debate and it will educate you on how to witness to atheists, how to make them backslide."

If China Taxes Carbon, Why Can't We?
Shauna Theel, MediaMatters
China is reportedly set to impose a modest carbon tax, as well as effectively increase taxes on its coal industry. As the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases continues to take steps to curb climate change, the oft-repeated conservative argument that the U.S. can't act until China does becomes increasingly tenuous.

I was a extreme visitor of the famous xdating.com website. It was a bad habit that was killing me. I had no friends outside the network. My family and some friends were very concerned about my health and mental state. There was when I read that important email. My former classmates from school organized a trip for extreme adventures.
I went to Africa, I forget the the places exactly but I do remember the natural beauty and of course the adrenaline that I had when the adventure tour. Can you imagine hiking in Africa? in middle of white water doing rafting in an inflatable boat, or slip on a rope between the top of the trees 500 meters above the ground? How about feeding the crocodiles? this was amazing and gradually I realized that my habit by those websites was killing me and I walked away from the good that gives us life.
During this trip I found that friend of mine I usually sent romantic letters while at the school, she was single like me, did not know but she live a few blocks away from my house so I started going out to have fun until we started a relationship which is very strong until this day. I recommend you the adventure of going out your ciber life, leave the cyber world that takes us away from the good things of life. just my advice.

Gift bags — each stuffed with hand-made blankets and other trinkets — were being assembled Thursday morning at Books, Yarn, Coffee (BYC) on Commerce Street here by a number of helping hands.
"We used acrylic yarn because it's easy care," said BYC co-operator Carol Moore.
Those packages were to be picked up today by Nancy Gilliano, a supervisor with the New Jersey Department of Children and Families' local DYFS office at the state building on Broad Street here. She would also be receiving a box of other odds and ends, like coloring books and craft items, for her case workers to distribute.
"This is a true example of people in the community using their heart and their talent to partner with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to better the lives of New Jersey's children," said DCF spokesperson Lauren Kidd.
"We are very thankful for the generosity of each person who has been a part of this project and we hope that this partnership will serve as an example for other community members who find it in their hearts to work with DCF to support children and families," she added.
Moore had worked with local resident Stefanie Modri on this same project last season. It has been held for about five years with the assistance of Hazel's Helping Hands.
This year's volunteers collected 12-inch by 12-inch squares that had been crocheted or knitted by volunteers and dropped off at BYC.
For Gilliano to know who should receive each bag, the busy workers at BYC inspected the color and size of each blanket while considering the age and gender-appropriateness.
They marveled at some of the items, especially an intricate and oversized blanket that had been crocheted, which Moore said would have taken at least a week to complete. The group then fastened a slip to each bag and stacked them to the side. That pile grew quickly.
Moore and store operator Linda Eisenberg were assisted by Busy McCutcheon and others. McCutcheon had been running the squares to Emma Andrews in Millville, who would sew the individual squares into blankets.
The Downe Township Senior Center had 10 volunteers who stitched up about 20 cloth bags so the recipients wouldn't be handed their gift inside a plastic grocery store bag. There were two more women who crocheted another 15 blankets.
Those who knew of this effort were also dropping off items like deodorant for teenage recipients and playing cards.
"Churches drop off boxes of squares they made," Moore emphasized.

CORK county councillors have written to the Taoiseach and Simon Coveney, the Minister for Agriculture, Marine and Food urging them to look at State intervention to save the Swansea – Cork ferry.
A last gasp rescue plan to save the ferry, which was operated by the West Cork Tourism Co-op, failed at the final hurdle two weeks ago when Enterprise Ireland declined to stump up €400,000 for the service citing a breach of competition regulations.
Now county councillors are looking to the Government to save the service which has brought more than 150,000 visitors to Cork over the past two years.
County Mayor Tim Lombard who has long been a champion of the service said that the ferry is worth up to €30 million to the region over a two year period and as the second city in the State, Cork should have a direct sea connection to the UK.
Councillors now want the Government to purchase Fastnet Line, the operating company, from the official receiver before the process of off-loading assets begins.
Cllr Lombard said that if the State got involved it may be possible that investment would come from the local authorities in Cork and Kerry and possibly private equity as well.
Speaking to West Cork Times, the mayor said, "Councillors in Cork are very keen to support the ferry and we want to see this progressed as soon as possible.
"If we can't get a service this year we certainly want to secure it for next year at least. It is a huge loss not only to Cork but the whole region.
"We have written to the Minister and the Taoiseach together and hope to get a meeting soon to try and get things moving again," he said.

Client-side XSL? What are you smoking? XSL is fat client technology. It will only work on a very small percentage of immaculately configured machines. In other words, almost NONE. Don't expect the browser vendors to fix this either. HTML will be replaced by full motion video before that happens (i.e., NEVER). The last thing I want to see on a website is "this page best viewed with Opera and Saxon" or some nonsense like that. Chances are your content isn't vital enough to justify installing new software. I'll just click somewhere else, thank you. Doubtful I am unique in that respect. MAYBE there is a dumbed-down version of CSS that works on all browsers on all platforms. Maybe. But there is no version of XSL that even comes close. The only display technology that has nearly as much "reach" as HTML 3.0 is Flash. XSLT is great. Just don't do it on the client. Transform your XML on the server. Otherwise, you and your visitors are in for a lot of broken pages. Don't wait for IE 10 to have a "compliant" processor, whatever that is. Like CSS, XSLT will forever be a moving target. Learn from the problems of Java on the client and stick with HTML 3 and (perhaps) Flash.
