The Federal Communication Commission today voted to reduce the rates prison inmates and their families pay for out of state phone calls, CNN Money reported.
The change would appear to affect New Jersey, whose rates are a few cents higher than what the commission agreed upon.
The commissioners voted to impose a cap of 21 cents a minute for a debit or prepaid call, the news web site reported. It also imposed a 25-cent a minute limit for a collect call, which gets charged to the person who the inmate is calling.
In New Jersey, state inmates now pay 33 cents a minutes to call anywhere in the United States, said state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Deirdre Fedkenheuer.
A 15-minute, state-to-state call costs $17 in some states, CNN Money reported.
It will take about 120 days for the new rates to take affect.

Tennis Dieting?
(1/2) > >>
How many of my fellow posters here actually watch their diet for tennis? I wish I could say I did, but I have been gettign worse as time goes on. Case in point, last night I get home from a match at 9:00 and I was hungry. So I snack down some of the pizza in the fridge.
I am not overweight, but I do weigh 5-6 pounds more than I did a year ago when I went to Nationals. 5-6 pounds is not bad, but when you are 5'-4" tall it is proportionally more than someone 5'-10" gaining 5 pounds. I can tell I am not in the shape I was 5 years ago, but I still will hit longer than more of my league mates...
My Dad and I placed a bet when I was 14. See, every male in my family is overweight. Not grossly overweight, but a good 50-60 pounds sporting the belly look. He bet me $50.00 that I would be overweight by the time I was 30. If it was motivational intent or not, I will be collecting my $50.00 on Feb 12th 2005.
But what do you guys/gals do to control the eating and stay focused for the tennis? This is an area I am really not the familiar with. Back in high school I played tennis 3-4 hours every day and lifted weights most days. I ate what I wanted to and basically non stop. I need to be in better shape especially as I am getting older. I don't really lift weights anymore because it hurts my shoulder, and I need it for tennis. Jogging is boring for me, so all I do is play tennis. I play 3-4 times per week, but a lot of that is no officially doubles. I do have a singles hitting partner that I hit with for about 3 hours at a time, and that feels great to hit that long.
The direction I am headed in recently, if my Dad made the bet for 31 years old I probably would of lost. : )
I can eat anything and not put weight on! Maybe thats 'cuz i do alot of running.
How old are you?
I would be in big trouble if I did not play tennis, especially singles. I am 5'10" 180lbs and 43 yrs old and my diet is not very healthy at times especially around the holidays!!!. But since I started playing tennis, Ive managed to keep my weight and waistline the same for the last two years.
Funny thing is my waist line looks the same, I am not sure where the weight I have gained is. I hope I never find it. Just shed it.

55 - at the corner of irony & insight
on the edge of night,
this white yugo pulls beside us
like end of the world coming
motioning the window down
yo brake light out on da drivah side
beddah git dat fixed;
orange rooster tail of sparks
flaring from his muffler dragging
as he speeds
out of sight.
Tell a story in 55 words. Give it a try or just read more, go see g-man.
I am sure he was just being helpful, not concerned with my splinter while blinded by the log in his eyes. None of us are, right? Smiles.
Have a great Friday everyone!

I had to smile at this,Brian...we just drove down to Florida from Michigan (got here today!) and yesterday we got pulled over by a very southern Alabama trooper who took forever to get out of the patrol car...we couldn't figure out why he stopped us...finally he comes over and says the light over our license plate in the back was out and "we'd better mosey on over and get it fixed because it is illegal". ?? WTH? He didn't give us a ticket (thankgoodness) but weird...he just left then..well, he mosey'd on over to his car and left. Whew!

I too thought there were no more Yugo's out on the road. I thought they had all died and gone to Yugoheaven. Are you sure it wasn't another ghost that you were seeing? Yup, it had to be a ghost car, not sure where the driver came from though.
Yugo and have a nice weekend now, ok.
God bless.

It's wonderful that people are still considerate. Helpful. And willing to help another avoid a ticket.
I know I always point those things out. Only I'm not spewing orange sparks. Or, dragging my muffler. Yet. lol.
I think that was sweet.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Audiences may have quickly embraced Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT ) Windows 7 last year, but they have been slower to give Office 2010 a bear hug.
Retail tracker NPD Group is characterizing consumer sales of Office 2010 as "a bit disappointing" in its first two weeks on the market.
In terms of units and dollars, NPD reports that Office 2010 lags behind what Office 2007 raked in during its initial two weeks of retail availability.
There's plenty riding on Office 2010. The productivity suite franchise was a drag on performance during Microsoft's latest quarter. Without the software giant's Windows operating system division, revenue would have actually clocked in with a slight dip during the period.
Office 2010 -- available for corporate installations in May and in its retail boxed version last month -- should have taken the Windows 7 baton and run with it, but it's not surprising to see a slow start when Office 2007 and even Office 2003 are perfectly capable platforms for current users.
"The one strong opportunity for Microsoft and its retail partners is to add installations onto PCs where once the productivity software choice was Works or nothing," NPD suggests. It points to Best Buy's (NYSE: BBY ) Next Class PCs that came pre-installed with Office 2007 last summer.
There's also the cloud-computing threat. Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) Docs and Oracle's (Nasdaq: ORCL ) Open Office provide free alternatives to commercial, PC-stored solutions. They may be simplified and require connectivity, but that may be just enough to fit the needs of casual users.
NPD doesn't see the Web-based upstarts as a problem -- for now.
"It is a virtual certainty that the slower than expected initial sales of Office 2010 have nothing to do with free alternatives," the company writes in its blog. The roadblock is mainstream consumer awareness that cloud-based freebies even exist.
That will change, of course. At the very least, Microsoft's triple-digit ransoms for its products may be history in this apps-driven economy. The highest-grossing download for Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iPad has been Pages, a $9.99 word processing program that is compatible with Office 2010's Word.
Most consumers may not realize that free -- or nearly free -- alternatives exist, but the inner penny-pincher and viral marketer in us all won't keep that quiet for long.
Will Web-based productivity suites ever surpass computer-based software programs? Share your thoughts with me in the comments box below.

One of the world's greatest purveyors of the notion of Political Correctness has been caught telling an ethnically-incorrect joke? Hang 'im, I say:
London Mayor Ken Livingstone faces controversy today after it emerged he made a joke about Muslims in a magazine interview."Blimey! Did I say that?"
Mr Livingstone was asked by a journalist to tell a joke and responded with a story that name-checked Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie, Yasser Arafat and Shia Muslims in general.
According to today's Evening Standard, Mr Livingstone made the joke during his first mayoral campaign in 2000 in an interview for the now-defunct magazine The Face.
Journalist Alex Needham asked him: "Can you tell us a joke?" The then independent candidate responded with a gag in decidedly dubious taste.
"Salman Rushdie was on a train and it pulled into a station," said the future mayor.
"He saw Yasser Arafat and his entourage of bodyguards and was so overcome with the emotion of seeing his great hero, he raced to embrace him.
"But the bodyguards weren't very well versed in modern literature and had no idea who he was.
"So they shot him dead, thus proving the value of that old adage: never go for a Shi'ite while the train is in the station."
In more public moments, Mr Livingstone has gone to considerable lengths to court the Muslim community.
Dr Rowan Williams told Radio 4's World at One that the UK has to "face up to the fact" that some of its citizens do not relate to the British legal system.
Dr Williams argues that adopting some aspects of Sharia law would help maintain social cohesion.
For example, Muslims could choose to have marital disputes or financial matters dealt with in a Sharia court.
He says Muslims should not have to choose between "the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty".
In an exclusive interview with BBC correspondent Christopher Landau, ahead of a lecture to lawyers in London later on Monday, Dr Williams argues this relies on Sharia law being better understood. At the moment, he says "sensational reporting of opinion polls" clouds the issue.
He stresses that "nobody in their right mind would want to see in this country the kind of inhumanity that's sometimes been associated with the practice of the law in some Islamic states; states; the extreme punishments, the attitudes to women as well".
But Dr Williams says the argument that "there's one law for everybody... I think that's a bit of a danger".

New Jersey School Children Take The Stage To Talk About
Dangers Of Smoking On Great American Smokeout Day
-Acting Commissioner Dr. George T. DiFerdinando, Jr. announced that
fourth, fifth and sixth-graders statewide are writing letters today
to an important person in their life asking them to quit smoking.
The letter-writing campaign is part of the second annual "Tell
Someone You Love" program, sponsored by the New Jersey Department
of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), and Scholastic, Inc. to mark
the Great American Smokeout on November 15.
initiated this program last year to educate and inform two important
groups: our children, and smokers who may be looking for ways to
quit," said Dr. DiFerdinando. "Children need to know the
important role they can play in another person's life. Children
who take part in 'Tell Someone You Love' learn that smoking is not
only a risk to the smoker, but to those around them. They also learn
that their actions can have powerful results."
program is the first of its kind in the U.S. in which students learn
about smoking and the power of addiction. The students are given
flexibility to write to whomever they wish - a family member, friend,
entertainer, or a sports personality who smokes.
Inc. sent program materials to school administrators, nurses and
11,000 teachers in 1,845 schools. The kits include a detailed program
guide designed to facilitate an interesting and fun classroom session.
Students are then asked to write a letter expressing in their own
words why someone they love should quit smoking. For example, the
letter may emphasize the risk of contracting cancer or heart disease,
the dangers associated with smoke in the home, or the importance
of setting a good example to others.
Victoria Portales of Highland Park, New Jersey received a letter
from her 11-year-old daughter last year. "I've always known
that I needed to quit smoking, but the reality was I just couldn't
or wouldn't do it. That changed when I realized what quitting meant
not just for me, but to my children," says Ms. Portales, the
mother of four. Maria has now been smoke-free since July.
"Tell Someone You Love" program emphasizes the dangers
of tobacco addiction, including the serious health risks posed by
environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to infants and children. ETS has
been linked to an increased risk of low birth weight, sudden infant
death syndrome, asthma, ear infections, severe lower respiratory
infections, and fire-related injuries. According to the American
Lung Association, ETS causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths
in the U.S. each year in people who don't even smoke.
Tell Someone You Love program is one of many youth-based initiatives
sponsored by DHSS and supported with funds from the Master Settlement
Agreement (MSA) between 46 states and the tobacco industry. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently ranked New Jersey
as 11th among the states in committing a substantial portion of
MSA funds for tobacco control programs. New Jersey's Comprehensive
Tobacco Control Program is designed to reduce the sickness, disability
and death among New Jerseyans associated with the use of tobacco
and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. All Tell Someone You
Love letter recipients will receive information about New Jersey's
free and low cost quit-smoking resources, including New Jersey QuitnetSM,
New Jersey Quitline and New Jersey Quitcenters.
Jersey's QuitnetSM, Quitline and Quitcenters
Jersey Quitnet, www.nj.quitnet.com,
is a FREE innovative online resource that provides comprehensive,
individually tailored smoking cessation options, peer support, and
access to the advice of trained counselors. Registered New Jersey
Quitnet users can access an array of quitting guides to help plan
a quitting strategy, referrals to local programs, and information
about treatments 24 hours a day - seven days a week.
Jersey Quitline, 1-866 NJ-STOPS (1-866-657-8677), offers toll free
telephone counseling in 26 languages Monday through Friday from
8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Trained counselors
work with callers at every stage in the quitting process, developing
treatment plans that meet the needs of the individual.
Jersey Quitcenters, the latest addition to New Jersey's customized
smoking cessation services, are counseling clinics with services
available on a sliding fee scale according to income. They are currently
located at 15 sites throughout the state. People can call NJ Quitline
or log onto NJ Quitnet to find a location near them.

Sunday, March 4
Luke 4:1-13
Lent is the time when we prepare ourselves to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from death. So why do we begin by thinking about temptations? Because the temptations belong not just to Jesus, but to us as well. Temptations arise in every area of life, even for the most faithful, as we approach the events of Easter Sunday.
Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16; Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13
Genesis 9:8-17; Psalm 25:1-10; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Mark 1:9-15
Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7; Psalm 32; Romans 5:12-19; Matthew 4:1-11
Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Luke 4:1-13
"Tell me a story." No bedtime liturgy would be complete without these four magical, sacred words, or the four magical words that follow: "Once upon a time. . . ." Story shapes us. Fantastical bedtime stories fill us with fervent hopes for lives full of high adventure and romance, through which we learn chivalry, fidelity and courage.
Genesis 9:18-17
On the island of Hawaii, you can hike across an active volcano. It doesn't look a bit like the models I made in grade school, where a triangular papier-mâché mountain spouted dry ice smoke and red yarn lava from a small hole at the top. No, this volcano is an enormous crater whose hot lava spills underground and pours into the sea.
Genesis 2:15-17; Matthew 4:1-11
Imagine being brilliant—Massachusetts Institute of Technology kind of brilliant. You've aced the course work in electrical engineering and computer science and you're ready to work as a Wall Street analyst. But there's one test left, and it has absolutely nothing to do with electrical engineering or computer science. You have to swim 100 yards.
As I write this, the kitchen table is shaking. If our table is shaking, I worry that the church's beautiful stained-glass windows, desperately in need of repair, are also shaking. The parsonage is attached to the church and shares the same foundation. Seven feet away all hell is breaking loose. Several blocks of businesses that have served this neighborhood are being knocked down by giant backhoes and inflated real estate prices to make way for towering apartments.
Genesis 9:8-17; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Mark 1:9-15
Sometimes I'm watching TV news and reach the point where I cannot take in all the violence and destruction. So I turn off the television and try to get involved in something that will take my mind off the news. God, however, does not have that option. God does not have a remote control to change the channels. God cannot move to the suburbs or close a door to hide from the violence. God's eyes are not averted. God's heart is not numbed.
John 11:1-45
I didn't want to come back. My consciousness hovered somewhere above the body lying on the gurney. It was all over, I thought. The last sensation I remembered had been incomprehensible pain, then a tunnel, and a grinding noise as described in other near-death experiences. But unlike other people who tell of "NDEs," I saw no lights, no angels, no dead relatives, no friendly saints; rather, I found myself very much awake in a weightless, imageless, gray hyperreality. I experienced a blessed clarity, freedom and relief, and a stunning sense of the illusory nature of the life I'd left behind.

Keeping the cat indoors definitely has it's advantages. Indoor cats live twice as long as indoor/outdoor and don't have to worry about cat fights with FELV/FIV cats, dog attacks or being HBC (hit by car). An outdoor cat's lifespan is a fraction of what it could be. But with this safety, comes boredom! There's no chasing mice, pouncing through piles of leaves or catching birds (eww).
Boredom can lead to behavior such as inappropriate urination, destructive behaviors like scratching, aggression, depression lethargy and over vocalization (usually when you want to sleep!). It can also lead to over eating, same as us :(
It's very important to keep them mentally stimulated and physically active. It's not getting spayed or neutered that gets them fat (MYTH). It's too much food and not enough exercise. So....is your house 'cat-friendly'? If not, here are some suggestions to prevent boredom:
1-Create a view! Consider a bed near a nice window. Put a bird or squirrel feeder outside the window so they can watch :)
2-Get em a scratching post-it helps them shed the outer layer of the nail, stretch their muscles and mark territory. (Better the post than your couch!)
3-Find the right toys-Some like paper/crinkle sounds, others like feathers. Mine like those little mice with fur on 'em. All cats are different, so you may need to test a few kinds out with your kitties.
Send in your suggestions and pics of your cats 'getting their exercise'!!

More than a decade after Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was captured and murdered in Pakistan, Pakistani security officials captured a former terrorist leader who is believed to have planned the crime.
Qari Abdul Saeed, also known as Asadullah, was arrested Sunday by the Pakistani Sindh Rangers, according to reports Monday citing unnamed Pakistani officials. He is accused of two decades of terror activity.
Pearl's parents, Judea and Ruth, said in a statement released Monday, "We are gratified with this latest arrest and hope that justice will be served in a timely manner on all of those who were involved in the abduction and murder of our son, Danny."
Pearl, The Wall Street Journal south Asia bureau chief, was researching a story about Islamist militants when he was kidnapped in Karachi in January 2002 and murdered a month later.
His final words as he was about to be beheaded -- an act that was captured on camera and widely distributed following his death -- were "My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I am Jewish."

Ryan Higgins allowed just four hits over six innings and Gavin Wallace, who had two RBI, aided a five-run sixth that lifted Madison to a 7-4 victory over Newark Academy in the opening round of the Highland Classic in Berkeley Heights.
Wallace drove in a run in the fifth to tie the game at 2-2 and, after Newark Academy went ahead on Mike Gibbons' RBI double in the sixth, added an RBI with Tim Azzolini, Ian Weber and J.P. Ralston when Madison rallied to a 7-3 lead in the sixth. Higgins allowed two earned runs before Jack Donald pitched the final inning for the save.
Gibbons finished with two doubles and two RBI for Newark Academy.

In the journalistic equivalent of a piledriver, a St. Petersburg Times reporter informed former pro wrestler and reality show star Hulk Hogan that his wife of 24 years had filed for divorce, claiming the marriage was "irretrievably broken."
"Thank you for the great information," Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) told the reporter on Friday, when informed that Pinella County court records showed that Linda Bollea had filed the papers several days before. He hung up and called back five minutes later, saying: "You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."
The couple starred in the VH1 reality show "Hogan Knows Best," in which they discussed divorce but reconciled after marital counseling.
More recently, they have been grappling with the legal troubles of their son Nick, who faces reckless driving charges after a car crash that left a friend critically injured.
Linda Bollea is seeking half of the couple's assets, which include two Pinellas County properties estimated at nearly $10 million.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Last year we spread the news about the late Staten Island artist Gabe Perillo and explained that upon returning from World War II and studying under Norman Rockwell, he chose to draw and paint boxing scenes, that told a poignant story à la Rockwell's "Saturday Evening Post" covers.
Word now comes our way, from Gabe's son, Gabe Jr., a boxer himself, that this is the inaugural year for a boxing museum housed within the New York State Athletic Commission, Manhattan, designed to recognize fighting greats from the state.
Inside out photos 4-19-2012
We have learned that boxing dignitaries were in attendance for the inaugural New York State Boxing Hall of Fame Induction Dinner, where boxing stars and trainers recently joined a sold-out crowd of 500 at the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame, sponsored by Ring 8, an organization of veteran boxers who raise funds for donation to boxers in need, at Russo's on the Bay, Queens, where boxing legends such as "Sugar" Ray Robinson, Jake LaMotta, Mike Tyson, Carmen Basilio, and Vito Antuofermo, among others, were inducted into the organization's very first class.
At this writing Gabe Jr. donated a 22x28-inch canvas print portrait of "Sugar" Ray Robinson — who has been dubbed the greatest fighter who ever lived — one of the 50 greatest athletes of the century and painted by his dad, to the museum, where it will find a permanent home.
It should be noted that Perillo's work includes some of the greatest athletes of all time: Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Joe Montana, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano and Walter Payton — not to mention Sly Stallone and Elvis Presley.
Perillo also created portraits and new-idea originals for ESPN and was commissioned to do the art for "The 50 Greatest Athletes of the Century." Perillo's book, "The Boxing Art of Gabe Perillo," which includes 50 pages of his realistic renderings, is on sale at Clove Lakes Book Store, Sunnyside.
The elder Perillo passed away in 2002, at age 76, leaving a legacy in the arts and sports world.

A sold-out fundraiser to benefit Michael's Cause March 30 that saw 500 guests converge at the Vanderbilt on the South Beach Boardwalk, was a tremendous success thanks largely in part to the Michael's Cause committee. Michael was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy within the past year at just 4 years of age and since that time family members and friends have founded the non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The event raised about $50,000 for Michael's Cause and an additional $20,000 in monetary donations.
Among the larger contributors were 1st Choice Industries (main sponsor) and Titanium Construction Services, The Dr. Theodore A. Atlas Foundation, Raineri Jewelers and the NYPD Sergeant's Benevolent Association.
Floral arrangements were provided by Eltingville Florist. Funds raised by Michael's Cause will be directed to research to help for better treatments and a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
In addition to individual and corporate donors, family members and friends, also to be acknowledged are faculty members and staffers the PTA at PS 36, Annadale.
Note that the Capolongo family, Michael's Cause founders, parents, Jennifer and Michael, are extremely grateful for all of the support received. Future events, including dinner dances, golf outings, etc. are being formulated. Visit Michaelscause.org, for additional information.

Lee MacQuarrie will suit up for the Cape Breton Capers men's basketball team for the final time on home court this weekend.
T.J. Colello - Cape Breton Post
Published on February 12, 2014
Cape Breton Capers women's basketball veteran Tanira McClurkin will see action on home court for the last time this weekend.
T.J. Colello - Cape Breton Post
CBU hosts Dalhousie on Friday, Acadia on Saturday
SYDNEY — Lee MacQuarrie will step onto the hardwood at Sullivan Field House this weekend for the last time as a member of the Cape Breton University Capers men's basketball team.
It'll be a "surreal" feeling for the 22-year-old forward from Sydney, but one he almost didn't get to experience. MacQuarrie missed most of 2012-13 campaign with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) that put his playing future up in the air.
"There was definitely a little bit of doubt, especially in the beginning when it happened. Missing an entire season was pretty tough," he said. "There was definitely that doubt, but as it got further through the process and my coaches and teammates were behind me, I felt a lot of support and it made me realize it was something I wanted and something that I needed to do, to get back to full strength to help this team this year."
After surgery and rehab, he rejoined the Capers this season on Nov. 16 at home against the Memorial Sea-Hawks.
"It was a little nerve wracking at first, but I was able to get in there and I played fairly well my first game back," he said. "It was just a great feeling to be back playing and it was great that it was on home court."
The CBU basketball teams host Dalhousie on Friday and Acadia on Saturday in their final home games of the season. It's been a long road to this point for MacQuarrie, who joined the Capers in 2009-10 as a member of their practice squad, and has worked his way up the ladder and through injury into a regular role with the club.
The Sydney Academy Wildcats graduate said being a local player suiting up for the Capers is a dream come true.
"It's definitely pretty hard to believe. It really flew by," he said. "I've been lucky enough to have a lot of amazing coaches and teammates over the years and coming into my last weekend, I've been thinking a lot about the past and how it's flown by, and it's been a great experience."
Tanira McClurkin will also take to the hardwood at Sullivan Field House for the last time as a member of the Capers women's squad.
"I still feel like a rookie it went by so fast, all four years I've been here," she said. "I've enjoyed every bit of it this year. This year, I grew and understood every player."
At season's end, the fifth-year guard from Baltimore, Md., will leave a team that's looking to the future. The rest of the players on the Capers are either in their first or second year of eligibility.
McClurkin said she's proud to say she's played a part in the development of the up-and-coming roster.
"It's a tremendous change from last year to this year," she said. "The group of girls we had last year and the incoming players this year, these girls are willing to work. That was the first commitment that I saw in a lot of girls and there was a lot of talent around us. Everybody had different talents they can bring and all they had to do was put it together.
"Now, it's slowly connecting and clicking and they slowly understand it. The girls are good on and off the court, their attitudes, and they love to play the game."
Teams hit the court on Friday at 6 p.m. (women) and 8 p.m. (men) and Saturday at 2 p.m. (women) and 4 p.m. (men).
The fifth-place Capers men (9-8) are riding a five-game winning streak, while the second-place Capers women (9-8) have won their last two games.

Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color (PlayStation 2) review
"In case you haven't heard, Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color is a role-playing game that eschews the massive world, grand storyline, and extensive inventories so many consider staples of the genre. Instead, it embraces a system through which gamers collect magic crystals and parts, then use them to create just about any character they can imagine. For the first time, we have the chance to play a role-playing game that isn't limited so much by hardware, but rather our own imaginations."

My Friendly Freedomlander friends have been pushing for years now to have a plaque placed on the site where America's Theme Park once stood in the Bay Chester section of the Bronx.
But for whatever reason, they've always met resistance to the idea of a marker whose sole purpose was to let future generations know where the much-loved park — dubbed the Disneyland of the East Coast by some — existed from 1960-1964.
But now it seems Freedomland will finally get the recognition it warrants.
A group of Freedomland fans is raising money to pay for the cost of the marker. And in doing so, they're making the fund-raiser very attractive to collectors.
A former Freedomland employee donated a sizable collection of authentic souvenir tokens that were actually used at the park's entrance turnstiles more than 50 years ago.
Proceeds from the sale of the tokens will go toward the purchase of the marker, which the group is hoping to have dedicated this spring.
The marker will be placed near the park's entrance, where flags flew spelling out FREEDOMLAND, within full view of incoming guests.
The cost is $10 per token plus $1.50 for postage and handling. All funds (after Internet fees) will be used to purchase the memorial marker.

Some Emmaus residents are being advised to boil water before drinking and cooking with it because of a water main break that occurred at noon in the Lehigh County borough.
The break has been repaired, but it caused a loss of pressure in part of the system.
"As a result, there is an increased chance your water may contain disease-causing organisms," states an advisory issued by the borough.
The advisory applies to residents living in small area on the west side of the town -- Orchid Circle, Stoklea Drive, the 900 and 1000 blocks of Liberty Street, the 300 block of Iroquois Street and at 14 Golf Circle.
Those residents are advised to boil their water before drinking or cooking with it until further notice.
The warning will not be lifted for at least two days, until after testing confirms the water is free of bacteria.
The borough will notify all impacted customers by phone when their water again is safe to use without boiling.
More information is available on the borough's website.

Sara, 17, has been volunteering since she was in eighth grade, specifically with raising puppies for "The Seeing Eye" organization in Morristown and was recently honored with a national award.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is the largest award program in the United States that is focused on community service, recognizing students of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of time to the community and country.
"Getting involved is really important and seeing the people it impacts is so cool. It's something you do because it is fun and exciting and turns into something meaningful," Sara said Thursday afternoon.
Sara is a senior at Woodstown High School and has been raising seeing eye dogs for years. Additionally, Sara has gotten involved with missionary work in Taylorsville, N.C., and Camden.
"Her main priority is always helping others. Some students just do community service because it looks good on a resume, but Sara really enjoys it. It is gift to see that need when people need help," Woodstown High School Principal Dr. Scott Hoopes said.
"People who are honored with this award serve as a prime example in their community of generosity and kindness," he added.
Sara said she was excited and shocked when she discovered her recognition. She was one selected out of six students who applied from Woodstown High School.
Woodstown guidance counselor Gabrielle Heyel applauded Sara's involvement for the simple reason of loving what she does.
"I'm always impressed with how much she gives on a daily basis and her kind and generous spirit. I am proud of her."

U.S. Appeals Court Denies Citizens' Right to Sue Wiretapping Telecoms
Jason Mick
January 2, 2012 2:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Quick Meme)
But court lifts previous ban on suing the government over warrantless wiretapping campaigns
If you have a problem with federal warrantless wiretapping campaigns, sue the government, not the telecoms.
That was the key message in the Thursday ruling handed down by the
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
, a federal appeals court that covers high profile cases appealed in nine western states, including California.
I. EFF is Greenlit for Class Action Against the NSA
The decision was still a quasi-victory for the
Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF), who was leading the push against the warrantless wiretaps, at it prevents the most sweeping of protections on the domestic surveillance system, giving U.S. citizens at least one avenue to challenge the campaigns in court.
The EFF was less-than-thrilled that the court upheld the immunity for telecoms who served as the government's accomplices, helping federal agents spy on their customers. The telecom immunity was
granted by the "Protect America Act"
of 2007 (
Pub.L. 110-55
The EFF was seeking class action status for a lawsuit against AT&T, Inc. (
) and the
U.S. National Security Agency
(NSA). The EFF accuses AT&T of conspiring with the NSA to divert its customers voice, SMS, and internet traffic into special secure rooms at its facility across the country, giving the NSA the ability to freely snoop on whatever private communications they pleased.
The operation was called "an unprecedented suspicionless general search" by the EFF, which accused it of being unconstitutional, based on the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (part of the Bill of Rights), which states:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
II. Lower Court Ruling is Partially Reversed, Telecom Immunity Restored
A lower court had granted the EFF permission to go ahead with a class action lawsuit against AT&T and NSA, prompting the
U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) to appeal to the 9th Circuit.
The 9th Circuit's decision partially reversed the lower court's ruling. Unlike the lower court, it ruled that the government granting immunity to its business accomplices was Constitutional. However, it refused the DOJ's request that the federal government also be made immune on "state secrets" grounds, saying lawsuits against the government were the place to challenge the Constitutionality of such programs.
[Image Source: Minding the Media]
Judge Margaret McKeown
, a member of the three-judge appeals panel,
(PDF; pg. 21589), "The federal courts remain a forum to consider the constitutionality of the wiretapping scheme and other claims."
The differentiation was an interesting one, in that it dealt a partial victory, partial loss to both the DOJ and EFF.
It is important to note that the Appeals Court did not deliver an opinion on the legality of the warrantless wiretaps themselves.
III. Most 2012 Presidential Candidates Support Warrantless Spying
The irony of the Protect America Act was that it modified the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 ("FISA" Pub.L. (Public Law) 95-511, 92 Stat. (Statute at large) 1783, enacted October 25, 1978,
) installing the kind of unregulated surveillance permissions that the FISA was originally designed to
at the time of its post-Watergate passage.
The FISA's original authors recognized the danger of abuse if unregulated wiretaps were granted to federal officials and police. After, all at least one U.S. President -- Richard Nixon (R) -- used such powers to spy on his political rivals.
Despite the strict FISA President George W. Bush (R) openly defied the law in the post 9-11 (2001) era, resuming warrantless wiretapping. President Bush convinced Congress to retroactively legalize the effort by modifying the FISA. With Congress's weight behind the unregulated domestic spying effort the President gained the unregulated spying power that had once led to the impeachment of President Nixon.
When new President Barack Obama took office, he promised reform and to cut back on the warrantless spying, but once elected that
"hope" turned to "nope"
as President Obama proved remarked "Bush-like" and pushed to expand the program and
vigorously defend the immunity
for cooperative telecoms.
President Obama and his predecessor President Bush agree on many things, including that the federal government should be granted unregulated spying on its citizens.
[Image Source: WhiteHouse.gov]
It appears unlikely that the warrantless monitoring is going anywhere, anytime soon. Aside from President Obama support, most of the leading Republican candidates appear supportive of the practice, with many voting to support President Bush with the Protect America Act. Of the major candidates, the only one who has voiced major concerns about the federal spying is Ron Paul (R).
Minn. Rep and Tea Party chief Michele Bachmann supports unregulated, warrantless federal wiretapping. Ron Paul is the only major presidential candidate to oppose it.
[Image Source: Bachmann.House.gov (left) and RonPaul.com (right)]
It is unknown exactly how many telecoms participated in the government's plot to spy on citizens. However all three of America's largest cellular carriers -- AT&T; Sprint Nextel Corp. (
); and Verizon Wireless, the joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (
) and Vodafone Group Plc. (
) -- were all listed as defendants in the EFF suit.
They are now free to resume helping President Obama and Congress spy on American citizens without warrant, without having to be legal responsible for their actions.
The EFF is contemplating whether to appeal the decision to restore the immunity provisions to a higher federal court.

JACKSON, MI – It's hard to imagine Zehlin Storr struggling to get wins on the mat during his wrestling career.
But when the Leslie senior first joined the sport, he typically found himself on his back.
That all changed when he took a trip with his dad, Lance, and two younger brothers, Griffin and Kanen, to the individual Michigan state wrestling finals.
"I got beat up a lot and I wasn't that good, but it made me want to get better," Storr said. "Just being able to go out and witness (the state finals) when I was in middle school, that's when I set my goals and I was like, 'I want to be here someday and I want to wrestle in college."
Storr has since been to the state finals all four years of varsity wrestling, and won two individual Division 3 state titles, including the 140-pound title this season.
He was so dominant, he went unbeaten the past two seasons, capping his career with a 61-0 record his senior season.
For his accomplishments on the mat this season, Storr was named the MLive Jackson Wrestler of the Year for the second straight year.
"It's been an interesting ride. … Basically over the four years, I've learned a lot, from how to train properly and how to handle losses," Storr said. "Over the four years, I lost a couple that really helped and I've won a lot because of those losses, so it's been a good four years."
Storr capped off arguably the best career of any Leslie wrestler by taking home a state title with a 3-1 decision over Dundee's Doug Rojem.
He finished with an impressive four-year record of 213-11, replacing Nick Atwood, who had 199 wins when his career ended in 1999, as Leslie's all-time winningest wrestler.
Storr will continue his education and wrestling at the University of Michigan and is expecting his career to come full circle once he begins.
"I'm going to go into a room with a bunch of stars and basically get my butt kicked, just how I started wrestling, but it's going to make me better," Storr said. "I'm just ready to get to that next level, and on top of that, I'm going to get one of the best educations you can get."

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Three women had their heads shaved today to protest the planned closing of the Ida Benderson Senior Center in downtown Syracuse.
Surrounded by a handful of supporters holding signs and singing, Sue Hollister, Mary Carr and Virginia Dolin stepped up one by one to have their hair shaved off by James Shields, who works in the center's kitchen. "A woman's hair is her pride," said Carr. "It means a lot to do what we're doing."
Mayor Stephanie Miner in August announced plans to close the 36-year-old center in downtown and merge the program with the Salvation Army's Adult Day Senior Services Program.
City officials told seniors the center cannot provide adequate medical support and other services to frail seniors, and it can no longer afford the $120,000 annual rent.
Miner has urged seniors to attend the Salvation Army's program several blocks away. The center will close Oct. 1.

Michael Moore I Says Fat Marxist Wealthy American's Money penis is Not Theirs his, it's 'Ours' 'A National Resource' We Need To Take It From Them him with rusty scissors and stick it in his mouth to shut him up.
Mikey, of course, thinks he'll rely on legions of braindead myrmidons to do the heavy lifting for him, because he knows if they really want a class war they're going to go down in great bloody swaths, and reap absolutely jack shit for reward in the end.
He can't be arsed. So many twinkies, so little time.
If you think it's yours come and try to claim it, Mikey. Please. You gutless tub of shit. Still playing the "rich people suck" card off a country that made you a quarter ton worth of millionaire. You've taken more cash directly from the pockets of the less wealthy via the box office than any ten wall street bankers combined. You feed on the gullibility and stupidity of the undereducated your side of the aisle creates with its public schools, and even when they've made you richer than 90% of the "rich" you despise, your perverse hunger is unsatisfied.
Oh, Mikey, when the revolution comes, you're going to burn for days. You're gonna be Wyatt's Torch, Mikey, and it'll be the first and only time in your entire miserable life that your foul existence ever did anything to illuminate the world.
Moore is directly encouraging entitlement minded individuals to steal from those whom they are told are "rich".
Things keep piling up.
If we don't start something soon, we won't be able to start anything.
Michael Moore came from a wealthy family and uses the poor to make money for himself. Like most socialist he believes the poor need to be controlled for their own good. He isn't ever going to give up any of his millions for another human, but he will play the game.
Michael Moore is a festering pile of self-loathing, self righteous douchebaggery.
^ to eleven.
Someone needs to drop him off in the ocean about a 100 miles of the coast of Japan where their wailing ships can find him.
Take money away from rich people, Mikey??
Fine. We'll start with yours.
^ It's not HIS! It's OURS........
Dear Michel Moore
I could sure use some of that money that all the rich people are holding onto, why don't you send me ten grand
Thank you
It ain't money! it is opportunity, you fat ass. Get out into a sector of the economy that obamsa hasn't tried to destroy yet and take it.
Gwillie, you know I meant Mr more, moore, moor.
Too bad copyrights don`t last long enough. Jesse James said it first! (...had the same problem too; hardly ever got laid...)
I've been looking at that big ol' fat guy and I think he's hiding something. Follow my logic here: Why are piggy banks so fat? That isn't blubber ... he's full of money! Bust him open, and I'll prove it!
One should lead by example, Mikey.
(What? Well, yeah, but all socialists are hypocrites.)
I want that t shirt....
Thar he blows!!!!!! Save a whale, harpoon Michael Moore......
I like the way PeggyU thinks.
"Things keep piling up."
Things like ammo, firearms, supplies, ancillary equipment, etc.
We may not start it, but we'll sure as hell finish it.
Why doesn't he just emigrate to Cuba already?
I'm surprised nobody remembered that former first lady Hilary Clinton said just about the same thing during a campaign a while back:
"In 2004, Hillary Clinton spoke in San Francisco and was quoted as saying: "Many of you are well off enough that [President Bush's] tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to have to take things away from you. We're going to have to have to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

UPDATED 12:14 PM CDT May 10, 2013
It's official: the 2016 Olympic Swim Trials will be held at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha for the third time.
City officials were on hand Friday for the signing of the contract at the Chamber of Commerce.
Omaha won the bid to host the trials over St. Louis and San Antonio.
USA Swimming and the United States Olympic Committee announced that Omaha had won the bid last month.
Omaha has previously hosted the Swim Trials in 2008 and 2012.
Last summer, the event saw the most success in its history with more than 164,000 fans attending the eight-day competition.

Superior Underwater Vision in a Sea Gypsies
Anna Gislén, Marie Dacke, Ronald HH Kröger, Maths Abrahamsson, Dan-Eric
Nilsson & Eric J Warrant 2003
"Superior Underwater Vision in a Human Population of Sea Gypsies"
Humans are poorly adapted for underwater vision. In air, the curved corneal
surface accounts for 2/3 of the eye's refractive power, and this is lost
when air is replaced by water. Despite this, some tribes of sea gypsies in
SE.Asia live off the sea, and the children collect food from the sea floor
without the use of visual aids [2]. This is a remarkable feat when one
considers that the human eye is not focused underwater and small objects
should remain unresolved. We have measured the visual acuity of children in
a sea gypsy population, the Moken, and found that the children see much
better underwater than one might expect. Their underwater acuity (6.06
cycles/degree) is more than twice as good as that of European children (2.95
cycles/degree). Our investigations show that the Moken children achieve
their superior underwater vision by maximally constricting the pupil (1.96
mm compared to 2.50 mm in Eur.children) and by accommodating to the known
limit of human performance (15-16 D) [3]. This extreme reaction-which is
routine in Moken children-is completely absent in European children. Because
they are completely dependent on the sea, the Moken are very likely to
derive great benefit from this strategy.

Dear Provider,
Generic ciprofloxacin (Cipro) tablets have been available since fall 2004. The IV formulation is expected to come off patent later this year (2006). �Oral ciprofloxacin is a good alternative to the branded fluroquinolones (such as Levaquin,�and Avalox) for the treatment of gram negative infections, such as those that commonly cause urinary tract infections. Branded Cipro costs $5.00 for the 500 mg tablet while the generic is 9 cents or $0.09. �(Please note that while ciprofloxacin is an excellent choice for gram negative infections, it should not be used for the treatment of gram positive infections, such as those that cause community-acquired pneumonia.) �Using generic options like ciprofloxacin when appropriate saves outpatients money on their co-payments or out of pocket expense.
If you have any questions about ciprofloxacin, please feel free to contact the Vanderbilt Pharmacy at 615-322-2374.

MILLVILLE — Everyone is a little bit Irish on St. Patrick's Day, especially students at Rieck Avenue School.
It was a sea of green outfits, make-up, jewelry and even a sparkling green streamer wig one girl wore, among the clover-theme classroom.
And topping off their morning, just before lunch, a special visitor came to greet the students.
Miss Cumberland County Angelica Nardi, a 21-year-old Millville resident, chose the lucky kindergarten class as one of very first appearances under her new crown.
"We are so proud of her," said Margo Cerami, kindergarten aid to the class and long-time family friend of Nardi.
"My family and I have been following Angelica for many years, we just love her," Cerami said.
The event began with the royal lady taking a seat at the front of the class room and surrounding the children in front of her.
She then read them a story and let them gaze at the colorful St. Patrick's day theme illustrations, to which they often times reacted with delight to the story as Nardi held their attention close.
"We're very excited to have Miss Cumberland County with us today," said teacher Joann Cuff. "The students are doing special activities today to celebrate St. Patty's day and it's a blast having Miss Cumberland County with them."
After the story time, Nardi took a group picture with the students, then brought them back to their seats for a coloring exercise.
As the students colored drawings of four-leaf clovers, Nardi brought her warm smile and bubbly personality to each student, asking them about themselves and their favorite part of St. Patrick's day.
"It's fun to take a break from all the busy schedules and spend time with the children," Nardi said.
Nardi is a student at Cumberland County College, studying nursing and just spent the past week in mid-term exams.
"It's been a busy few weeks, but now I'm on spring break so I'm buckling down on arranging my schedule as Miss Cumberland County," Nardi said.
This was her second appearance with her new crown, her first was in Mrs. Calvert's class at the same school.
"This month I'm focusing on spending time in schools and with children," Nardi said. "In April, I'm bringing more focus to my platform."
Her platform that she announced at the pageant early last month, is inspiring self-discipline among the community.
Nardi is also a former Miss Vineland and former Miss Heartland and will compete for the title of Miss New Jersey this coming June in Ocean City, N.J.
