CLAYTON — Malakhai Stewart was cold, hungry and maybe suffering from shock when an employee found him in the rear of Four Seasons Landscaping in Clayton Thursday morning.
Malakhai, 7, wandered away from his foster family's home on Mallard Street sometime around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday. Relatives and friends went searching for him first, but after about an hour, called police.
The boy has several disabilities, including fetal alcohol syndrome, according to Police Chief Dennis Marchei. Earlier reports erroneously indicated the child had autism.
The 3-foot, 10-inch boy had wandered away from home before, at Christmastime, Marchei said. Police found him in a short time then. A chopper went up to look for Malakhai Wednesday night, but never got off the ground this morning.
Tracking dogs were used and turned up a lot of scent as police believed the child had wandered into nearby wooded areas.
The spot where he was found was about a half mile away, "as the crow flies," Marchei said, "but we're pretty sure he wandered around for awhile."
Malakhai was found just before 8 a.m. and transported to Kennedy University Hospital in Washington Township to be checked out.

There has always been great passion to bring about change.
evaluate the validity of this statement using x, x, x, and x.
(prompt from 22 reals)
Throughout history, current events, and even literature, there has always been a great passion to bring about change. From the scientific revolutions of the modern era and the Rennaissance, to the pressures of political reform during the French Revolution and the American Civil Rights movement, this statement cannot be disputed.
Great minds such as Sir Isaac Newton, Ptolemy, Galileo, and Albert Einstein viewed the world in profoundly different ways from other people. In their search for the "true" nature of the universe, they managed to uproot old, traditional thought and put in its place radically different, but true, models of the universe. Einstein, with his theory of relativity, shattered everything knew about time and space, while Ptolemy defied religious dogma by replacing the Earth with the sun as the center of the "universe". Galileo and Newton shattered common notions on gravity and basic mechanics with their models of gravity. All of these changes have helped civilization in advancing technology for the betterment of humankind.
On a more political note, we can look to the French Revolution, which was a massive upheaval of traditional monarchial governments. The American Civil Rights Movement, Headed largely by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, defied the old American racism. Even today, people are constantly striving for change.
Over the course of history, it has been obvious that the great passion for change not only succeeds in dismantling old, traditional concepts, but that it also provides a benefit to society as a whole; Therefore, change is no only inevitable, but beneficial.
(length is comparable to that of the 5/5 essay in 22 reals, but i think i ended it on a bad note...)

Joos van Cleve (active 1505/08-1540/41)

Joos van Cleve (active 1505/08-1540/41)
Katlijne van Mispelteeren, The Artist's Wife c.1535-40
Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2016
This portrait forms one of a pair in the Royal Collection, however the images are not universally accepted as that of the artist, Joos van Cleve, and his second wife, Katlijne van Mispelteeren. This difficulty partly stems from the fact that they were identified by Abraham Van der Doort in 1639/40 as depicting 'Sotton Cleve' and his wife. Van der Doort seems to be confusing Joos with his son Cornelis (1520-67), known as 'Sotto' or 'foolish' Cleve, apparently because he went mad towards the end of his life. Others made the same mistake, writing as if Joos, not Cornelis, were 'Sotto' Cleve. The most striking aspect of the panels is the arrangement of the hands. The man addresses his wife and is spreading his fingers as if to reinforce a point. This rhetorical gesture is mirrored in Katlijne van Mispelteeren, with a more passive, contained placement of the hands gently laid one above the other and holding a rosary. Consequently the two portraits are perfectly balanced, conveying a sense of harmony and understanding between the couple. The background of both paintings is plain green and both figures are dressed in dark, sober garments, the black of the man's hat complementing the starched whiteness of the woman's headpiece. The artist experiments with illusionistic conceits by including strong shadows behind the sitters. These not only unite the two by indicating that they are lit from the same source, they are also employed to trick the viewer by throwing shadows of the picture frames onto the background, blurring the boundaries of reality and fiction.

1891 – The Dublin Working Boy's Home, Lord Edward Street, Dublin
Designed by Albert E. Murray, this former Boy's Home is now a backpackers hostel and still well maintained. The original aims of the charity were to "afford comfortable and healthy lodgings at cheap rates for boys who were earning their bread". Purpose built as a hostel for boys, this fine building at the top of Lord Edward Street adjacent to Christ Church Cathedral has four floors of accommodation over several retail units. The retails units still possess their original facades which are integrated into large brick arches. The building has much decorative work around the windows, notably the windows over the main entrance and on the gables at the top of the building. The interior has a fine wooden staircase. Published in The Building News, July 3rd 1891.

Equality and Human Rights Commission Background
The Equality and Human Rights Commission replaced the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) and Disability Rights Commission (DRC). It came into being in 2007 amidst vocal opposition from across the political spectrum to the Human Rights Act, the increasing influence of human rights legislation emanating from the European Court of Human Rights and the legislative project that would eventually become the Equality Act 2010.
The transition from the three legacy commissions it replaced was difficult, but recently the EHRC has begun to take strides towards finding its distinctive institutional voice on the national stage. However, it continues to be buffeted by powerful political crosswinds, and it has remained largely peripheral to mainstream debate.
In 2009 the Commission joined the family of 66 'A' status accredited National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) at the United Nations, becoming Great Britain's first accredited NHRI and the UK's second – joining the Northern Ireland Human Rights Institution which was awarded 'A' status in 2006.
The EHRC forms part of a worldwide community of NHRIs. Over the past twenty years national human rights commissions and human rights ombudsmen have emerged in every continent and subregion of the world. This institutional innovation is broadly defined as a body which is established by a government under the constitution, or by law or decree, the functions of which are specifically designed in terms of the promotion and protection of human rights.
Accounts of the number of NHRIs now in existence vary from around 120 to 178, established in approximately 130 countries. By conservative measures, since 1990 the population of NHRIs has witnessed a staggering fifteen-fold increase (at the rate of over five new institutions established per year).
For more information on NHRIs see here.

Why make a big deal out of having a job fair and when the people show up tell them to go on line and fill out an application. I think it was a huge waste of peoples time its not like they interviewd anyone. Any thoughts?
I have been involved in a few jobs fairs as an employer. Some companies took applications on site, but most were there to answer questions about the jobs available and do some education about the company. Applications were handed out and asked to mail them to a dedicated box.
There are some like BMW and Boeing had that were specifically for them and applications were taken then, but I think interviews were scheduled after Human Resources or the equivalent sorted out the applications for suitability.
Taking applications on line is certainly an improvement over dealing with written paperwork, some of which were hard to read. I discarded any application I had difficulty reading.
And in this economy, there are so many applications and the staff has to sort through all of those for the few jobs available.
One reason to go to the job fair is to find out who is hiring and for what positions. It also allows you to talk to the employers and see if it's a company you want to work for and maybe discuss your qualifications.
It's not a wate of time if you don't have a job.
are junk. When you're asked, "Are you currently employed?" if you check "NO" then your application is automatically rejected.

ESCANABA - The Escanaba Eskymos may have proved Tuesday evening that offense really is the best defense.
Escanaba and Negaunee both displayed great defense on the volleyball court as both teams appeared evenly matched, but Esky's power hitting and consistent game may have been the difference in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 25-19) victory.
"They just played with more momentum and excitement than us tonight," said Negaunee coach Annette Gleason of the Eskymos. "I that that kind of hurt us. They're a great hitting team and they've improved since we last saw them."

Keith Shelton |?Daily Press
The Escanaba Eskymos celebrate after scoring off a kill during the third set, Tuesday evening against Negaunee at Escanaba High?School.?Escanaba won 3-0.
The Eskymos showed a lot of heart and a penchant for timely runs as well. They held a tentative 19-17 lead late in the first set before Kami Fritz reeled off a six point service run to put that one in the books. Three Miners' hitting errors during that run were key.
Negaunee seemed to have control in the second set as it led 15-9 and 18-12, but the undaunted Eskymos fought back. Down 21-17 late, Ashley Cook came up to serve and she didn't relinquish the ball, reeling off an 8-0 service run that the Miners were powerless to stop, despite a couple of long points that could have gone either way.
The run may have been a backbreaker for Negaunee, as the Miners headed into the third set down 2-0.
Gleason said her defense certainly wasn't to blame.
"Our defense was really great, especially our right side back," she said. "Rosalie Anderson always plays great defense for us. We just need to work on hitting and completing the play. We struggled with communication and that's something we can always work on."
On the other side of the net, Escanaba's Ashley Cook had another outstanding game, getting her hands on nearly every ball that came her way. Cook came up with 14 digs, though it certainly seemed like more, and three aces.
"I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times. Ashley is probably one of the best libero's I've seen in the U.P., she touches every ball," said Esky coach Teresa Heidt.
The Miners started the third set strong but it didn't take long for the Eskymos to overwhelm. Syd Gafner got things rolling with back-to-back aces as Escanaba went on a 10-2 run to give them an 11-5 lead that would not be relinquished. Escanaba led late 20-14 but the Miners fought till the finish, scoring five of the set's final 10 points. Cook again closed the game out with a 3-0 service run.
Negaunee was led by Aubrey Nyman's five kills. Anderson added four kills with an ace and a block. Jayda Johnson came up with seven digs and seven assists and Hannah Laurila had six digs and five assists.
The victory ended a four game losing streak for the Eskymos (4-4). Fritz led Escanaba with seven kills and three solo blocks. Jade Heliin had four kills, Alexa Langsford had 11 assists and Brittany Bruce added five digs.
"We've been working on our serving," said Heidt of the Eskymos reason for success. "It's always been a factor for us - giving points away. So we improved our serving and our communication, and we've been consistent. Our consistency tonight was right on top."
Escanaba hosts Gladstone Thursday evening.

Triple-A game budgets will keep going up says Guillemot
Yves Guillemot, boss of French publisher Ubisoft has been sharing some of his views on the direction that triple-A game development is going in.
Guillemot admitted that he believed that games budgets were only going to continue rising and publishers and developers may need to seek alternative streams of income in order to continue funding the triple-A titles.
When asked if game budgets would continue to rise he said: "Yes. I think so, on the high definition formats, yes. So we just have to make sure we get more revenue and diversify."
Ubisoft's answer is to expand into TV and film production based on their major IPs. Guillemot added: TV work is really complementary to the games. If you can have 20 per cent or 30 per cent of your content that is created for the TV series that you can reuse in your game it's a way to reduce the cost of the game or to do a better game."

WASHINGTON – U.S. President-elect Barack Obama says his family's decision about a family dog has been more difficult than choosing a new Commerce secretary, but he, his wife and daughters are getting closer to a decision.
"We're closing in on it," Obama said in an interview with ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos". He said his daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, had decided they wanted a medium-sized dog and were looking closely at a labradoodle or a Portuguese water hound.
Obama also said the girls wanted a shelter dog.
The president-elect promised his daughters during the campaign that whether he won or lost the election, he would grant their wish for a dog.
Their choices of dog breeds are limited because they need to pick one that is hypoallergenic because of Malia's allergies.
"This has been tougher than finding a Commerce secretary," Obama said. His initial pick for that post, Bill Richardson, withdrew from consideration saying a legal inquiry in his home state would have complicated his Senate confirmation for the job.
The Obamas, who are staying at the posh Hay-Adams hotel across from the White House and will move into the executive mansion in just over a week, are also looking at local Washington churches.
The Obamas used to attend the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, but left after a controversy developed over controversial comments by Trinity's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
"One of the things that Michelle and I will be doing is probably visiting some churches and seeing what's comfortable," Obama said.
"It is tougher as president," adding that visiting churches can be difficult because of security involved when he goes anywhere within Washington.
"You don't want to subject your fellow church members, the rest of the congregation, to being magged (walking through metal detectors) every time you go to church. And so, we're going to try to be balancing, not being disruptive to the city, but also saying we want to be part of Washington D.C.," Obama said.

And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us," Obama said at the start of his victory speech. ******His predecessors dating back several administrations had dogs and yes, a few cats occupied the White House too.******Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, is also getting in on the act. He told reporters traveling with him earlier that his wife had promised him a "big dog" if he got elected.******Jill Biden had taped pictures of different dogs on the back of the seat in front of him on his campaign plane to inspire the candidate as he criss-crossed the country in the final sprint to election day.******"Jill had said the only way you are getting a dog is if you are president … we didn't think about vice president," said Biden. "She said at least if you live in the White House you are home."******He dropped out of the presidential race but when Obama asked him to join the ticket, his wife Jill said if he did so she would let him have the dog he wanted.******Click here for more Reuters 2008 campaign coverage.******- Additional reporting by Sue Pleming******- Photo credit: Reuters/Jason Reed (Obama family emerges on stage at victory rally in Chicago)

Terrier Town
Summer of '49
Publication Year: 2003
Debate still rages on about who invented baseball. But one thing is certain...it was alive and fractious in southwestern Ontario in the summer of 1949.
It was a remarkable summer. For Charlie Hodge, just finishing his last year of high school, the summer of 1949 begins with great fanfare and excitement. He has made the Galt Terriers' roster and will be riding the bench with a star-studded team, many of whom had played with the major leagues. When those seasoned pros arrive in town, big things are expected, and they don't disappoint. There is the towering home run that Goody Rosen hits into the Grand River; the frozen baseball scheme that backfires; and the busload of promotional cooking oil hijacked just before game time. It all comes down to Game 7 in the Terriers' semi-final series with the Brantford Red Sox, when a convicted gambler, playing centre field that night, makes one of the most controversial plays ever seen at Dickson Park.
Based on exhaustive research and extensive interviews, David Menary recreates that post-war season in Terrier Town through the eyes of Charlie Hodge. While Charlie is a fictional character, the other players are not. This is a story that will resonate with young and old alike, baseball fans or not. This is a team that became a vital part of the town, and the town an elemental part of the team. This is a time rapidly fading from memory — a summer of myths and legends. This is a story of how life could be in the small southwestern town of Galt. And all this is our heritage.

Irvine, CA--Exercise bikes used in health clubs rack up about 10 hours of use per day. Therefore, to be competitive in today's hot exercise-equipment marketplace, Tony Koselka, engineering manager at Tectrix Fitness Equipment, must design his firm's bikes to last from five to seven years. Helping to give Koselka a jump on the competition is a newly designed thermoplastic composite pillow block, the structure that supports the bike's drive shaft. The design rewarded Koselka with a lighter, less costly component than the steel version it replaced.
The material selected, Verton(reg) RF, a long-glass-fiber-reinforced nylon 6/6 structural composite, is formulated by LNP Engineering Plastics (Exton, PA). And in making the switch from steel to the composite, Tectrix realized an immediate cost savings. Steve Agnoff, president of the Efson Div. of power-transmission component maker Fenner Drives (Wilmington, NC), the firm that produces the pillow blocks for Tectrix, explains why.
"By turning to the composite, we could use one design for two interchangeable parts, eliminating the need for two separate steel parts," says Agnoff. "The less parts to fabricate, the greater the cost savings for our customers. Moreover, the composite gives the part the high-impact, fatigue resistance, wear properties, and the structural integrity required for the application."
"When compared to conventional short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, Verton structural composites have enhanced mechanical properties, while remaining lightweight," adds Dick Sabo, Verton product market manager. As an added bonus, this combination of properties cut the weight of the pillow block from eight to one and one-half lbs.
"We did lifetime testing to make sure the material didn't creep over time," Koselka notes. "We also did some strength and testing. The composite gave us the performance we needed."

LAWRENCE -- Two men, one of them from Ypsilanti, were arrested after troopers seized $50,000 worth of heroin in a traffic stop on Interstate 94 in Van Buren County, the Michigan State Police said.
The seizure of more than one kilogram of the drug is believed to be one of the largest ever of heroin in southwestern Michigan, Lt. Wayne Edington said.
Troopers found the heroin hidden in two compartments built into the back-seat area of a car that was stopped at about 8:35 p.m. Wednesday for a traffic violation on I-94 in Lawrence Township, west of Kalamazoo, a news release said.
A 22-year-old Chicago man and a 20-year-old Ypsilanti man were arrested, each on a charge of possession with intent to deliver heroin.

NEW ULM - The St. Peter Saints volleyball team came marching into the New Ulm Eagles gym and pretty much had their way in a 25-17, 25-13, 25-17 sweep of the home team.
New Ulm, which is now 1-9 overall and 1-3 in the South Central Conference, lost the match and an opportunity to beat a conference foe.
"We just really didn't do anything," Eagles coach Chris Otto said. "They (St. Peter) had a good blocking night and this was one of our weakest passing nights of the year. We were really flat tonight."

New Ulm High School's Bree Friedman (5) digs the ball as teammate Katie Forst looks on during the Eagles' match against St. Peter Tuesday at NUHS.
The Eagles had hope early on as consecutive aces by Sarah Nelsen gave New Ulm a 4-2 lead in the first set. However, after a 4-4 tie, the set went downhill for the Eagles. St. Peter built a 18-11 margin before three unforced errors and a kill block by Katie Forst brought New Ulm back to within three, 18-15. A 7-2 run by the Saints ended the set, with the Eagles committing 13 unforced errors from the floor and behind the service line.
After a 3-3 tie in the second set, St. Peter took command behind a combined four kills from Olivia Hass and Tailor Raymond. By the time Raymond was finished from the service line, the Eagles were down 14-4. New Ulm finished the set with two unforced errors, setting up a more competitive third set.
There were six ties up to 7-7, with the Eagles hanging tough through the middle of the set. Kills by Forst and Lizzie Rummel kept New Ulm within one at 12-11 and 14-13, but after St. Peter was up 18-16, things began to falter for the Eagles.
Two kills and two kill blocks by the Saints plus three unforced errors ended the night for New Ulm.
The Eagles resume play at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at home against St. James.

Hey there. I added the vandalism warning to your page, not because of vandalism, but because of several nonconstructive edits. None of the admins will view you as a vandal, it was intended to give you a way to access wiki policy information. All of your questionable edits seem to be innocuous, and I recognize that. That being said, there is a trend here, and I only wish to help give you the resources to clarify and be as constructive as possible. I look forward to reading your future contributions! -- Tiktaalik 20:43, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

On Stage Now and Upcoming Shows
Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Sept 16 – Oct 9
Inspired by Neil Simon's early career experience as a junior writer (along with his brother Danny) for Your Show of Shows, the play focuses on Sid Caesar-like Max Prince, the star of a weekly comedy-variety show circa 1953, and his staff, including Simon's alter-ego Lucas Brickman, who maintains a running commentary on the writing, fighting, and wacky antics which take place in the writers' room. Max has an ongoing battle with NBC executives, who fear his humor is too sophisticated for Middle America.
A Wonderful Life
Dec 2nd – 23rd
Frank Capra's film classic has been brought to vibrant theatrical life through the remarkable collaboration of Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Sheldon Harnick and Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Joe Raposo.

The first candle represents our grief. The pain of losing you is intense. It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This second candle represents our courage. To confront our sorrow, to comfort each other,
to change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory. For the times we laughed, the times we cried, the times we were angry with each other. The silly things you did, and the caring and joy you gave us.
This fourth candle we light for our love. We light this candle that your light will always shine.
With our family and friends, we cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us.
We love you. We remember you.
224th SWAT members and all of our guests. We are the 224th SWAT Gaming
Clan. Our clan is run by 224thFlatline and is assisted by
224thWhiteWolf. Our clan is about respect for our members, guests and
our server. We strive to have the best & most enjoyable
battlefield there is in Battlefield Bad Company 2, but we cannot do it
without the
help of our members and guests. Our server is based in the United States of America-the best country in the world.
We have a new website. Please visit regularly to receive
updates on what is happening at the 224th SWAT Clan. Our server is currently running in Conquest Gamemode: All 11 Conquest Maps maps, 2 rounds each.
We are about fair play and equal rights to all players, especially new players, meaning we don't think very high level players should be on a server for new players to the game, making it hard to level and get equipment, while they get easy kills and points. The reason we feel you see so many high level players on "noob"servers is because they can have easy kills and fast points. They have experience in the game, but lack the skills to play against others their level. So they take the easy way to points to make themselves feel like they have skills.
To achieve this, our members train in game. Members are trained in REAL WORLD military/law enforcement tactics. The Clan Instructor is WHITEWOLF583, who has real life training and experience in military/law enforcement tactics.
If you are looking for some fun, would like to level and get your kits and would like an easy introduction into the Battlefield Bad Company 2 game, 224th SWAT is the place to be.
"I want the 224th to be a place the players will call their home and come to have fun, and get themselves leveled up- because when all is said and done, at the end of the day, everyone goes home." - 224thFlatline Clan Founder
At this time, we are are recruiting new members. We are looking for active members. Rank is not important.
We are a very unique clan that are more like a family then just any gaming clan. We ask that you play the objectives and communicate well with other clan members-have a microphone and teamspeak2.
Thanks for stopping by and we all hope you enjoy your visit.

Voorhees High is ready to try and make it two in a row in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County Tournament.
The defending champion Vikings took their first step Friday, advancing to the quarterfinal round as they attempt to repeat.
"We're excited to be defending our county crown," Voorhees Head Coach Taylor Vidak said. "It's somewhat of an added pressure (to be the defending champions) but that's motivating to the girls. We have experience in the tournament, but we always take one game at a time."
Voorhees, the second-seeded Hunterdon/Warren bracket team, defeated visiting Wallkill Valley 3-0 in Friday's opening round with Kathryn Roncoroni, Emma Garcia and Ashley Kerekgyarto scoring for the Vikings.
The victory came just one day after a 4-1 loss to Warren Hills in regular-season Skyland Conference play, as WHHS avenged an early-season 2-1 overtime loss.
"We were very excited to bounce back from our loss at Warren Hills with a tournament victory," Vidak said. "Our intensity and ability to anticipate helped to contribute to our win. We also stayed determined throughout the game, which we did not see consistently versus Warren Hills."
Each of the three times the Vikings have lost this season, they have responded with a victory. That included the victory over Warren Hills on Sept. 17 after a loss to South Hunterdon three days before.
"We have definitely learned from the mistakes that contributed to our losses this season," Vidak said. "We feel those lessons will carry us through the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex tournament in addition to the state tournament, when losing means elimination."
Leading the way for Voorhees (9-3) this season has been Roncoroni, who'd scored 21 goals entering this week. Kerekgyarto has eight goals and Garcia five. VHS's leader in assists is Tori Crans, the 2012 tri-county tourney "Most Valuable Player," with nine.
Voorhees also won the tri-county championship in 2010, one year after the Hunterdon/Warren Tournament (1985-2008) added Sussex County. VHS also had a three-peat from 2006-08 and won back-to-back titles in 2001 and '02 as well as 1997 and '98. Its first county title came in 1993.
SHHS 5, North Warren 0 — Kaycee Zelkovsky had three goals and one assist and Ashley Eick two goals and an assist Saturday when South Hunterdon (11-1), the top seed in Hunterdon-Warren, trounced visiting North Warren (3-7-1), the ninth seed, in the opening round of the tri-county tourney.
Brett Lelie also had an assist for the Eagles, who held a 23-6 margin in shots, and goalie Samantha Soscia made six saves. SHHS, which led 3-0 at halftime, faces Hackettstown in the quarterfinals.
HCHS 6, Newton 0 — Hunterdon Central (9-2),seeded No. 3 in Hunterdon-Warren, easily advanced in tri-county tourney action Saturday as Jane Higley led the way with three goals and Julie Hyland, Sarah Pulkowski and Brianna Semanchik rounded out the scoring against the visitors (3-6-1).
Kailey Dalgauer and Kendall Nickel had two assists each and Ally Baligian and Veronica Fostik added one apiece. Central, which led 3-0 at halftime, out-shot Newton 22-1. HCHS takes on Sparta in the quarterfinals.
High Point 2, DelVal 1 — Katie Maddalena scored a second-half goal for Delaware Valley during Saturday's Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex County Tournament opening-round loss in Sussex.
Brittany DeLima and Alexis Ambrosino scored in the first half for unbeaten High Point, which won its 10th straight game while limiting the ninth-seeded Terriers (5-6-1) to just two attempted shots.
SHHS 4, North Plainfield 0 — Zelkovsky fired in three goals Thursday to lead South Hunterdon past visiting North Plainfield.
Amber Dey also scored for the Eagles and Brett Lelie had three assists against the winless Canucks, who trailed just 1-0 at halftime before falling for the 11th straight time. SHHS had 41 shots on goal.
DelVal 1, P'burg 0 — Brianna Skripko's shot with 11:38 left in Thursday's game lifted Delaware Valley to a victory at Phillipsburg (2-7-2). Terriers' goalie Morgan Davies made eight saves.
Bridgewater 3, Hunterdon Central 2 — Samantha Giordano's goal off an Emily Miller penalty corner with 5:18 left in overtime Thursday gave visiting Bridgewater-Raritan (9-1) the victory in a battle of Skyland Conference state powers. The Panthers' only loss this season was to HCHS on Sept. 10.
Kailey Dalgauer's shot had given the Red Devils a lead five minutes into the game before Miller scored late in the opening half. HCHS's Jane Higley, assisted by Kendall Nickel, then scored with just 30 seconds left in the half for a 2-1 Devils' lead.
Miller's goal with 10:44 left in regulation forced the overtime.
The Panthers held a 12-8 margin in shots and Central goalie Hannah Cechini made nine stops.
Warren Hills 4, Voorhees 1 — Warren Hills (8-3-1) scored twice in each half Thursday on the way to knocking off visiting Voorhees and avenging an earlier overtime loss.
The Vikings' Emma Garcia, assisted by Hannah Schiavo, scored with 4:41 left on WHHS's artificial turf field, cutting their deficit to 2-1. But the Blue Streaks' Nikki Profita scored on a rebound off the goalie with 1:28 to go and Sydney Muntone finished off the scoring with 40 seconds remaining.
The Streaks dominated the contest from the outset. WHHS took 22 shots to just three by Voorhees and the home team also held a 12-4 margin in penalty corners.
VHS lost goalie Kathryn Boyce, who splits time with Lauren Pianucci, to a hamstring injury early in the second half after she made a tough save. Pianucci, who had 15 stops, played the rest of the way.
HCHS 2, Ridge 1 — Sarah Pulkowski scored a pair of second-half goals off assists from Kendall Nickel and Taylor Barrett to lift Central past Ridge (5-4) on Oct. 1 in Bernards Township.
Central held a 17-12 edge in shots over Ridge, which led at halftime. Central had fallen to Ridge 2-1 in the season-opener Sept. 6.
SHHS 2, Belvidere 0 — Zelkovsky, assisted by Brett Lelie and Ashley Eick, scored in each half Oct. 1 when South Hunterdon knocked off visiting BHS (3-6-1). The Eagles held a 29-1 margin in shots taken.
VHS 7, Somerville 1 — Kathryn Roncoroni had three goals and Tori Crans one plus three assists Oct. 1 when host Voorhees, which did all of its scoring in the opening half, crushed Somerville (0-9-1).
Ashley Kerekgyarto had a goal and an assist and Hannah Ryan and Emma Garcia rounded out the VHS scoring while Maggie Freibergs and Lexi Crans chipped in assists. The Vikings held an 18-2 difference in shots taken.
DelVal 1, Montgomery 0 — Katie Maddalena, assisted by Brianna Skripko, scored a first-half goal and it stood up Oct. 1 for a Terriers' victory over visiting Montgomery (4-5). Goalie Morgan Davies made seven stops for DelVal, which had just three shots on goal.
Bridgewater 8, NHHS 0 — The Lions managed just one shot on goal Oct. 1 during their loss to visiting Bridgewater-Raritan (8-1), which is among the state's top-ranked squads. The Panthers, who took 21 shots, scored five times in the opening half.

After years of delays, the first checks from the De Beers Class Action Settlement were finally mailed on August 31 to the jewelry resellers (including retailers) who filed claims. While you may have already cashed your settlement check, your customers will have to wait a little longer. According to the De Beers Diamond Class Action Settlement website, www.diamondsclassaction.com, distribution to other subclasses (including consumers) should take place within the next few months.
While some in the industry are happy with the results, jewelry customers who expected a big payment could be disappointed once the checks finally arrive. Jewelers of America offers the following tips to help manage expectations and answer consumer questions about the settlement:
- Let Customers Know the Wait is Almost Over: Jewelry customers may have heard that jewelers have received checks in the mail and ask why they have not received one. Tell them that consumer claims have yet to be finalized and distributed. The good news is that this should to take place in the next few months.
- Manage Expectations: If asked, remind customers that the amount that any individual could receive depends on the amount of the claim itself, and how that compares to the total number of claims filed in the consumer class.
- Note Payment Limits: Consumers should not expect to receive a full refund on the diamonds or diamond jewelry they purchased. Their pro rata share of the settlement fund is up to a "recognized claim percentage" of the purchase price. More information about the calculation of claims can be found in Appendix B of the Notice of Proposed Settlement.
- Jewelers' Claims Do Not Impact Consumer Claims: Consumers and jewelers are in separate sub-classes, and the De Beers Diamond Settlement fund has been divided between them. The total number of jewelers' claims has no impact on the amount individual consumers ultimately receive.
- Direct Customers to the De Beers Settlement website: www.diamondsclassaction.com includes important updates and provides detailed information for the consumer subclass.

Bikesider and Bikerowave volunteer Kyle Pfister recently posted the account below (on Bikerowave's forums) about his terrible experience with UCLA bike lockers.
Before I give you Kyle's account – some editorializing. Since I first got involved cycling issues, planners have trotted out lockers as the holy grail of bike parking. Kyle's account aptly summarizes why I think bike lockers are way way overrated. Bike lockers require lots of supervision. In addition to being expensive, any bike locker system requires regular maintenance, as well as administrative oversight. Some bike locker systems, like the one at UCLA, use a reservation system which requires additional supervision. Bike lockers are expensive to buy, tough to maintain, and ask a great deal from the user, relative to bike racks.
There's no substitute for a cheap, well placed, and properly installed bike rack. I have one in my living room! Mihai Peteu managed to get some installed in his UCLA building. When done right, they do the track. Done right (and they usually aren't) bike racks are examples of good design: simple, functional, and nearly self explanatory.
Kyle before:
I'm headed up to UCLA for a lecture tonight and was worried about locking up my bike, did a little searching and found this:
I just signed up for this service and reserved a locker for my bike, will report about my experience
How do we get these things everywhere?
Kyle after:
YIKES! UCLA bike lockers are not all that I'd hoped for, maybe this is something everyone already knows about, and I'm late to the party, but I don't know if I'd bother with this again.
1. Web & Phone interface for reserving the lockers is so bare bones, I had no idea what the per hour rate for the locker was prior to reserving it, and was not informed anywhere that when you call to reserve it, it is immediately yours IE don't call in advance call when you get there.
2. Parking attendants didn't even know where lockers were, and they were located in a rather out of the way and secluded place on the bottom floor
3. It was clear this was a very underutilized system and that no maintenance or cleaning had taken place since installation
4. When I typed in the combo that was given to me over the phone line, A DIFFERENT LOCKER OPENED UP, NOT THE ONE I RESERVED!!!!!!!!!!! and there was a bike inside! worse yet it appears that that bike had been abandoned, so I called again to get a new combo making sure to type in the correct ID for the locker I wanted and the wrong one opened again.
5. Third time was the charm, went ahead and ran my u-lock through my frame and back wheel just in case, almost didn't use the locker but I was running late for my lecture so went through with it.
6. Because the wrong door kept opening, when I called to get the combo to get my bike out, it was unclear whether I was starting a new reservation or finishing my old one, I suspect I will be charged for several reservations and for all I know the computer thinks my bike is still in there, good thing a day is only a dollar, and I got the phone number for customer service so I'll call them later
So while I thought this system would offer me total piece of mind during the lecture I was almost as worried about my bike being stolen as if I had locked it up outside, however at least my bike was out of sight, and someone would have to be a member to get the door to open so I guess theft was unlikely, but because the system didn't seem to work properly and the interface was so confusing I'd be unlikely to try it again.

Funding Sources - WASH & Clean Cooking
Akvo Foundation - Akvo is a non-profit foundation with staff in the Netherlands, Britain, Sweden and California. It helps to facilitate private donations to WASH projects.
Alcoa Foundation - WASH funding is primarily geared toward conserving clean and safe water resources as part of a broader environmental program that addresses climate change and environmental sustainability. Funding goes to education and awareness programs about water conservation as well as to organizations that develop technology and infrastructure – watersheds and hydropower systems.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – Focuses on improving safe and sustainable sanitation services by stimulating household demand for sanitation, promoting affordable market-based sanitation solutions, and encouraging the creation of effective sanitation policies at global and national levels.
Coca-Cola Foundation, Inc. - Funding for WASH aims to offset water used for Coca-Cola's production process through two primary activities: improve water access and restore watersheds. Water access funding includes the development of technological solutions to increase safe water access such as in-home water pumps, rainwater harvesting, community water treatment systems, and distribution networks.
Conrad N. Hilton Foundation - Funding for safe water-access programs for the world's most poor, enabling environments, and information dissemination. Partners to support and fund a comprehensive WASH+ continuum (water access, sanitation, hygiene + livelihoods) in order "to support and enable sustainable and scalable access to safe water, improving the health, education, and livelihoods of the ultra poor.
Foundation Center-WASHfunders.org - WASHfunders.org is a hub of information and resources for grantmakers working to improve water access, sanitation, and hygiene, around the globe. It addresses a critical challenge in philanthropy — knowing who is funding what, and where — so that the community of funders can more effectively, and collectively, meet global challenges.
Humanitarian Innovation Fund - The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) Water, Sanitation and Hygiene-promotion (WASH) pavilion gives solvers the opportunity to develop innovative WASH solutions to help save lives and reduce suffering during disasters and humanitarian crises.
PepsiCo Foundation, Inc. - The foundation seeks to ameliorate the effects of the global water crisis in communities with severe water shortage or lack of clean water. It also funds innovative approaches to improve local sanitation conditions and protect cleanliness of water sources.
Rockefeller Foundation - The foundation hopes to expand WASH funding in 2011 by exploring a multiple use services concept (MUS) which is an integrated approach to water service delivery and accounts for water's many purposes – drinking, domestic tasks, agriculture, and small-scale production. Current work is focused on better understanding the potential barriers that limit the scaling of multiple use servies approaches, and possible interventions to reduce those barriers and support opportunities for scaling.
USAID Development Innovation Ventures - Through DIV, USAID awards grants to compelling new development solutions, rigorously tests them, and helps scale those that are proven successful to become development grand slams.

We present 3-D spatial and kinematical models for the distribution of neutral and ionized gas in planetary and proto-planetary nebulae that are based on data from our NICMOS/HST observations. Interactions between the dense neutral envelope, the UV radiation field, and the fast stellar wind result in a menagerie of PN shapes, many of which include strong asymmetries. One of our NICMOS targets is the hot young PN, NGC 7027. Images that isolate H2 emission show two bright intersecting rings, which we interpret as brightened rims of an inclined biconical structure. This structure encloses the roughly elliptical ionized region. Our models mimic very well the observed structure of this object, and reveal the 3-D characteristics of the photodissociation front and ionized core. The structures seen in molecular hydrogen emission and in tracers of the ionized core appear different and spatially distinct. This type of two component morphology is seen in several of our NICMOS targets. We discuss discrepancies between the data and models; these differences provide additional information about the detailed structure of the nebula. Details of the modeling and results are discussed, including the effect of orientation on our perception of nebular appearance for the inferred 3-D structures. Additional ground-based observing programs, including velocity structure measurements and mid-infrared imaging, are providing further constraints.
This work is part of a detailed study into the evolution of circumstellar material exposed to strong and time-variable ultraviolet radiation fields. It is supported by a NASA Long Term Space Astrophysics Program grant and Hubble Space Telescope General Observer grants.

"He Thought He Could Forget The Past. He was Wrong." COMICS! Sometimes I Find A whole New Way To Bore You!
Posted by: John Kane on February 2, 2016
Categories: Reviews
Of late I've been a regular Chatty Cathy and no mistake, so as a change of pace I've scanned in some House Ads which ran in DC Comics from (and it's totally arbitrary this) March 1989 to August 1990. I always enjoy looking at these things when I dig out my back issues; they remind me of stuff I have tucked away (and even sometimes forgotten), or nudge me about stuff I mean to pick up at some point before…I come to my senses and start acting my age. Sometimes they just make me shake my head and wonder how that turned out for everyone. Heck, it's just fun looking at them, basically, and I hope you share my fascination…… Read More…
