TRENTON — A teenage murder suspect was handed a second gun when the first gun failed to fire during a 2013 confrontation over a $30 debt, officials said yesterday.
It's the newest development in the nearly year-old case of Kareem McNeil, 23, of Trenton who has been charged in connection to supplying the now 16-year-old alleged assailant, also from Trenton, with the murder weapon.
Security footage along with testimony from two eyewitnesses all place McNeil at the Roger Gardens Apartments, where the shooting took place on May 25, 2013, Mercer County Assistant Prosecutor Tom Meidt said. One of the witnesses has said that they saw the teen — whose name has not been released since he is a juvenile — with a different gun minutes before the shooting took place.
He held the first gun, which apparently was unloaded, while initially confronting the victim, 19-year-old Devahje Bing, before walking over to McNeil and exchanging it for one with a fully loaded clip, Meidt said. That's when the teen shot Bing, allegedly over the debt, according to Meidt.
The information was revealed during a bail reconsideration hearing yesterday, at which McNeil's attorney, Laura Yaede, argued that his $500,000 bail should be lowered to $200,000, in part because of the length of time the state has taken to move the case forward. Though McNeil has been incarcerated for the charges since June of last year, an indictment has yet to come through the system.
Meidt said that any case involving minors typically takes much longer to progress due to the need to coordinate with juvenile facilities.
Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mark Fleming, who set McNeil's initial bail, upheld it at $500,000, saying the figure was properly set and that he believed the state had been working in good faith to move the case along.

Will the Redskins' O-Line get bigger?
Feb 25, 2014, 11:25 AM EDT
Jay Gruden has not been a head coach for very long but he seems to be as good as any of them when it comes to answering questions without giving out much information.
Last week at the NFL Combine he was asked about the offensive line a couple of times. Here is what he said the first time.
"We're looking very closely out our scheme from last year, looking for what to carry over into next year's playbook. Obviously, there's some good things we did with the outside zone. That will still be part of our offense, no question about it. The key to football nowadays is being diverse. You have to be able to run the football outside zone, you have to be able to run some gap-blocking schemes and some draws. We'll get everything introduced and figure out what we're good at, and go from there."
A bit later he addressed the line again:
"Those are good players, but sometimes on third and eight, they get pushed back a little bit. They've done some great things in their career, obviously. But if you get the bigger guys that don't move quite as well, then you lose Alfred Morris and his strength, and that's the outside zone and the stretch and finding lanes and holes to cut through. So, it can come back and bite you if you want to go big, depending on what you're doing. You have to get better. But I like the guys we have on our team and we can work with them."
Much has been made out of the fact that the offensive linemen that Gruden worked with in Cincinnati were bigger than the group that started in Washington the last two seasons. But, as Gruden pointed out, bigger isn't necessarily better, especially when it comes to taking advantage of what Morris can do best.
As noted, Gruden wasn't giving many hints about any changes he might be contemplating along the line. But it does appear that he is delivering a message to the current members of the offensive line.
Hey, Tyler Polumbus! If you want to play right tackle at 305 pounds, that's fine. But you'd better be able to blow back the man in front of you when we need you to or I'll find someone who can. And Kory Lichtensteiger, I can live with 284 at guard if it helps you get over and block for Alfred on the stretch plays. But you'd damn well better stonewall pass pressure when it comes up the middle. Or I'll find someone who can.
Polumbus don't have to turn into a Joe Jacoby-like mauler. But by adding some strength and using the right technique a smaller offensive lineman can be successful in moving a defensive end from Point A to Point B against the defender's will. And proper technique (and perhaps some use of the quarterback's mobility) can go a long way towards Lichtensteiger tightening up the blocking on those third and eight plays.
- internetcareer - Feb 25, 2014 at 11:50 AM
well we will have some idea of the plan in 2 weeks when free agency begins. Our first clue will be if the Skins Replace one of the interior offensive linemen with a MASSIVE free agent.
- shermanp79 - Feb 25, 2014 at 12:37 PM
I think they have to make changes up the middle. Polumbus only gave up 4 sacks compared to Williams who gave up 8. Now he was hurt and continued to play plus he goes up against top pass rushers I think we need a new C and at least one G. I hope Hurt who is bigger can win a starting spot. I don't think Gettis stays he is small and If they keep smaller guys it would prob be last years starters. I know we don't want to lose the stretch where Morris is the most effective but it would be easier to find a different back than to find a new franchise QB. Truthfully I don't care which way they go but in passing situations the middle of your line can't be getting run over every time. It would benefit us if the guys we have got better, it would be less change. I just worry with more WR routes and a more open attack the guys there won't get it done. For RG3's health it needs to be corrected and corrected this year. I said in another past post, maybe we can trade a guy or two?. The line was better in 2012 than last year RG3 was holding the ball longer and I don't think Cousins was sacked that much. There still was pressure up the middle I remember in the last game the Giants were in the backfield a lot with pressure. It will be interesting what their plan is not only the line but the team as a whole. I am looking forward to see how they put this team together. Protecting RG3 has to be a priority.
- timwillhidetimwillhide - Feb 25, 2014 at 5:07 PM
Did you ever think that Polumbus only gave up 4 sack because he is on the side the QB can see it coming and can get rid of the ball?
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:57 PM
I can't recall if it was ProFootballFocus or Football Outsiders that ranked the Skins O-line third bet in the league. Crazy. But their analysis showed our Aqaba had plenty of time to throw. Obviously our run blocking was superb. Also our receiving corps ranks near the bottom in DVAR and catch percentage. But I do believe one guard and the RT can and should be upgraded. I believe a top vet receiver would go a long ways in reducing the sacks.
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:49 PM
Well said. I keep forgetting we have Hurt
- kenlinkins - Feb 25, 2014 at 1:30 PM
I agree 100%, I for one have been looking at the draft way to much. Are first clues will be which one of our Free Agents we keep, 2nd clue will be which Free Agents we sign from other teams. This should give us some idea of what the GM and new coach have in mind for 2014.
- kenlinkins - Feb 25, 2014 at 11:58 AM
Is this a smoke screen? As soon as I read it I run another Draft simulator: G D. Yankey (Stan), OT J. James (Tenn), WR D Moncriff (Miss), WR D. Street (Pitt), SS H Smith (Lou), CB Phillip Gains (Rice). I think there are 3 starters in 2014 unless Coach Gruden is not telling the truth which would mean we would have new back ups on O-line). Also, I really like Phillip Gains, he is a project at CB but would play Special teams in 2014. (and if I get a 4th starter in H Smith at Safety we are in big trouble).
- Rich Tandler - Feb 25, 2014 at 12:05 PM
I know draft simulators are fun but I would put zero stock in the results. Do the people putting it together really know the needs and draft strategies of all 32 teams? Specifically on the Redskins, do they have any clue how a first-time head coach and a GM with final say for the first time are going to proceed?
Seriously, if you base anything on those you're heading in the wrong direction.
- captblood3000 - Feb 25, 2014 at 5:30 PM
I checked out one of these and I won't put much stock in it either. It showed Aaron Donald (DT, Alabama) available at #34 and Morgan Moses (OT, UVa) available at #96, both of whom I would gladly take with those picks. It had the Redskins picking Zack Martin (OL, Notre Dame) at #34. All you get from these or any mock draft is an idea of the quality of players who will be available when the Redskins pick. And mock drafts make some assumptions about front offices, like Dallas defies logic and the Ravens and Patriots make the best picks. These are generalizations at best; even blind squirrels find nuts sometimes.
We won't know the Redskins Big Board and won't see the results of it until the Draft.
That said, I'm cautiously optimistic about this draft. Assuming that the Redskins franchise or resign Orakpo, they are in decent shape at all the positions where teams reach in the draft, though I hope they address more areas of need in free agency. If they pick the Best Player Available at #34, they will likely get a player ranked in the low 20s on their board (and don't be surprised if this is a tight end). And they can replay that scenario through round 5 (pick #130), drafting for talent because they have so many needs.
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 4:10 PM
I too am optimistic about this draft. I feel the stock of players fits our needs the most. Since we have our skill positions settled (QB, LT, OLB, CB) we won't necessarily need a 1st round pick. Our needs are typically addressed in the 2nd and 3rd rounds like OG, RT, 3-4 DE, Safety, nickel DB. We could walk away with three starters in rounds 2-4.
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:52 PM
I can't imagine drafting a safety and starting him along side Phil Thomas, who is by all means another rookie. This is why I haven't selected any safeties in my drafts.
- kenlinkins - Feb 25, 2014 at 1:26 PM
Rich, you have made your point again, What do you think the Redskins are doing right after the Combine?
- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:11 PM
I like what you say about getting a new starting center and guard. That is definitely the weakness of the o line. We have all seen what a rookie center can do with the pounceys of the world out there. I know they were taken pretty high but I think we can find an immediate starting interior lineman out of the draft. Polum should develop and some other FA or rookie should compete with him. Between chester and Lich, I like Lich he seems to move better.
- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:19 PM
Rich, the redskins.com website as of 2/25/14 says Josh Wilson is on the roster along with other notables that have been cut like Josh Morgan, anywhere I can find an updated roster. This way you dont have to tell me they are cut or FA.
- Rich Tandler - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:21 PM
Morgan hasn't been cut, he's a free agent. They will update the roster on March 11, when the free agents officially come off of the roster. Here's a list of pending free agents. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/01/01/2014-free-agents-washington-redskins/
- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:22 PM
Rich, my buddy and I were trying to figure out the Tanard Jackson situation as well. From what we understand he was cleared from the suspension before the first week of the 2013 season, yet the league would not let him play. I know this info is wrong thats why I am looking for answers, we thought he could have helped the Safety situation last year.
- Rich Tandler - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:24 PM
Jackson was eligible to be reinstated after a year (start of 2013 season) but he was not. That's up to the league and confidentially prohibits them from explaining why or why not they have ended a suspension. Bottom line, it's an indefinite suspension and it continues. He should not be considered to be part of the picture.
- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:27 PM
Wow, that really hurt our options, I didnt know he had that many infractions that the league would hold him back from making a living. Wait, dont tell me we were paying him?
- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 3:22 PM
- colmac69 - Feb 25, 2014 at 4:07 PM
We sometimes forget that last yr the skins ranked first in rushing then top ten this yr with a line thats been criticised from pillar to post…is there weakness in aspects of their play definitely for sure but is making 2, 3 changes going to solve the issues?if u can read between the lines of gruden comments then it would appear that changes initially will b minimal but with a warning that current line will nd to step up their game..would like to think young linemen like Compton. .gettis..leribius will b in better position to challenge for starting role…its an area we have struggled to develope players at for countless yrs…
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 4:31 PM
Last year's weakness was third-down conversion and red-zone scoring. In my small opinion, the two O-line blocking schema in both are opposite, Third-down requires sustained pass blocking whereas goal-to-go blocking is more of a power scheme, of which our line is obviously inadequate. I think the third-down woes can be improved with a better wide receiver corps, likely a possession guy like an Art Monk type. The outside zone running won't produce many TDs so it's likely a beefier line will be needed. And Lich, at a mere 284 lbs is a good starting point. But he's such an over-achiever. I'd keep him on the roster but give LeRib, Gettis, or Hurt a try. Now that the infamous Shanahan doghouse days are behind us I think we will
- timwillhidetimwillhide - Feb 25, 2014 at 5:10 PM
I'm happy to see that everyone is finally starting to see that the O-LINE's PASS BLOCKING was the Problem last year
- Rich Tandler - Feb 25, 2014 at 5:13 PM
The blocking wasn't great. But PFF charged 10 of RG3's 38 sacks to RG3. I didn't check that on film or anything but it isn't too far off. He held on to the ball too long too often.

- alextwrs - Feb 25, 2014 at 9:28 PM
Nice little stat there Rich.
- timwillhidetimwillhide - Feb 25, 2014 at 9:33 PM
It sure didn't pass the Eyeball test.
- eataylor87 - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:25 PM
Rich. Two names: Anthony Collins and Geoff Schwartz
- eataylor87 - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:27 PM
Actually, Rich, three names. Anthony Collins, Geoff Schwartz and 3rd round pick Cyril Richardson/Gabe Jackson.
Talk about adding some athletic maulers on the line. Get 'er done Jay.
- jaxjoe - Feb 26, 2014 at 3:46 PM
The other issue is $$$. You can replace Lich and Chester and save > $10 mil. Footbal Outsiders has Chester as the least performing and Lich is too small. You should be able to draft a starting guard with the 2nd pick and elevate either LeRib or Gettis and get arguably better production while saving big bucks.

Dear Bob,
First of all, "Thanks!" to you and your staff for working with us and making us feel most welcome. We know you worked your bottoms off for our big group! It was nice to familiarize ourselves with what you have down there, just a short drive from Sierra Vista. Those who golfed enjoyed their time on the course, and those who needed a cold drink appreciated the convenience you provided.
The feedback from the picnic was very positive. The burgers and hot dogs were tasty and substantial; great job with quality selection and BBQ skills! The consensus seems to be that your grass is both beautiful and fun to play on… very accommodating to our jumping castles, inflatable obstacle courses, volleyball, croquet, and other activities. The surrounding trees offered shade and the mountains off in the distance created a lovely backdrop to the festivities.
Thank you again for everything, and please also thank the folks behind the scenes. You all helped create a memorable day for our 12th Annual Lawley employee family picnic. We would very much like to discuss a repeat next year, if you are willing and able to accommodate us.

I was at a local community college getting my teeth cleaned by a dental student yesterday, and she was having problems trying to get her scraper to scrape precise areas on my teeth without having it suddenly slide into my gums. Yes … it hurt. Because this was a learning experience for her, she did what every student should do — she asked for help.
The instructor mentioned the importance of the student's fulcrum* — where she was resting her hand. The place where her hand rested needed to be the central pivot for her work with the scalpel. As soon as she moved her hand to a steadier, more reliable fulcrum, the scalpel stayed where it was focused and my gums were safe once more.
The tool was a good tool. Her hand was a good control panel. It just wasn't enough.
Perhaps you're focused.
Perhaps you have all the right tools.
Perhaps you have plenty of knowledge.
Where is your fulcrum?
*Fulcrum: prop: a : the support about which a lever turns
b : one that supplies capability for action

The Handbooks in the UBS Handbook Series are detailed commentaries providing valuable exegetical, historical, cultural, and linguistic information on the books of the Bible. They are prepared primarily to assist practicing Bible translators as they carry out the important task of putting God's Word into the many languages spoken in the world today. The text is discussed verse by verse and is accompanied by running text in at least one modern English translation.
Over the years church leaders and Bible readers have found the UBS Handbooks to be useful for their own study of the Scriptures. Many of the issues Bible translators must address when trying to communicate the Bible's message to modern readers are the ones Bible students must address when approaching the Bible text as part of their own private study and devotions.
The Handbooks will continue to be prepared primarily for translators, but we are confident that they will be useful to a wider audience, helping all who use them to gain a better understanding of the Bible message.
This module includes the complete New Testament series. The total book price is $605 but some volumes are currently out of print.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- A 30-acre chunk of the Mayfair neighborhood in Huntsville's medical district is in line to be rezoned to keep out townhouses, apartments, duplexes and condos.
Wednesday morning, city zoning committee members discussed a petition from Mayfair residents who want to change the zoning along Alabama and Pansy streets, Center and Dawn avenues and part of Whitesburg Drive.
A public hearing has been scheduled for the Planning Commission's Dec. 21 meeting.
Lisa Leddo, an urban planner with the city, said some Mayfair residents were not aware that the current zoning allows construction of multifamily residences until developer Blake Mullins proposed building 10 townhouses facing Dawn Avenue.
"They said, 'Wait a minute, we want to just have single-family development,'" she said.
About 45 Mayfair property owners have signed a petition asking the city to change their zoning from Residence 2-A to Residence 1-C, which permits only single-family homes. Tailor-made for older neighborhoods with small lots, that's the zoning used in Five Points and Lowe Mill Village.
The zoning change would apply to about 100 homes between Bob Wallace and Thornton avenues.
Acting Planning Director Marie Bostick said the rezoning request would not affect the townhouse project because Mullins submitted his development plans well before the petition drive began.
Mullins, whose MB Group has built several new houses in Mayfair, wants to put the two-story "cottage townhomes" on .68 acres where two duplexes previously stood. He has said they would sell for between $180,000 and $220,000 each and fit in architecturally.
Alabama Street resident Tammie Berzett said she worries the townhouses will drag down property values and aggravate a serious on-street parking problem.
"We're doing this (rezoning) to preserve the integrity of the neighborhood," said Berzett, who attended Wednesday's meeting with two of her neighbors.
Mullins was forced to alter his townhouse drawings slightly to comply with the city's minimum front and rear yard requirements. The modified plans, which will be presented at next week's subdivision committee meeting, shift the townhouses about three feet closer to Dawn Avenue.
Ed Starnes, who chairs the Planning Commission, said what's happening in Mayfair is likely to make people in other neighborhoods more aware of their zoning.
"Whatever we do is probably going to become a model for other neighborhoods that have that same fear" of multifamily residential development, Starnes said.

It passed largely along party lines, 247-161. U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer, D-Battle Creek, voted yes.
President Barack Obama immediately signed it into law.
The bill will save 140,000 teacher jobs across the country, including 4,700 in Michigan, according to Schauer's re-election campaign.
The state department of education did not have any information Tuesday on what the money would be used for and referred comment to the governor's office.
Tiffany Brown, spokeswoman for the governor's office, said she expects the money to arrive within 30 to 45 days. She said there will be an application process for schools to access the money.
The state also expects to receive more than $300 million in Medicaid funding but less than it had anticipated earlier in the year.
In a recent statement, Schauer said the bill would also close special tax loopholes that reward companies for outsourcing American jobs.
"It's time to stop rewarding companies for shipping our jobs to China," Schauer wrote.
The state aid bill is being paid for, in part, by cutting about $12 billion from the food stamp program by ending monthly benefit increases in 2013 that were to be paid for by the stimulus. According to the Food Bank Council of Michigan, that would reduce benefits by $60 a month in 2013 for a family of four.
Robert Randels is executive director of the Food Bank of South Central Michigan, which provides food in eight counties, including Jackson. Randels said he hopes Congress doesn't "vote to rob Peter to pay Paul."
He said 50 percent of those who use food stamps have children. It seems counterintuitive to talk about wanting to help poor children and then cut food stamp funding, he said.
"We're seeing an ever increasing number of people showing up to pantries that never thought they were going to be there," Randels said. "It's not a good time to be making cuts on hunger programs."
In Jackson County, distribution was up 33 percent in 2009, and he said it has increased 12 percent so far this year.
As for the cuts it makes to food stamps, Schauer campaign spokesman Zack Pohl wrote in a statement that "No bill is perfect, but Mark believes Congress needs to make some tough choices to save and create jobs, and finally close tax loopholes that reward companies for shipping American jobs overseas."
Karen Holcomb-Merrill, state fiscal project director for the Michigan League for Human Services, said her organization supports passage of the bill but wishes it didn't include cuts to food stamps.
"Not only will it help the Medicaid, it will free up additional general fund dollars and alleviate cuts," Holcomb-Merrill said. "We think it's a really unfortunate situation that Congress feels the need to cut those benefits. We do not support those cuts."
But, she said, if those benefits are going to be cut, at least it is going to support Medicaid.
"That's certainly far better than other ways they may choose to use that money," she said.

While yesterday was full of company info today brings the life of the party out by talking about the real life to the console. The games. Companies like Konami, Nintendo and Microsoft have flooded the floors with massive stages full of games and music so loud you'd almost swear you had a subwoofer implanted in the back of your head.

E3 2003 Pre-Show ReportAnother year another wave of gaming to make us all go broke once more. Today started off the first day of E3 2003.

Lets quit the chit chat and get down to the real discussion before you all mob me.

Fragmart HighlightsAfter 4 days of intense competition, I am sad to announce that Fragmart 2002 is officially over. I left Richmond Winter Club with plenty of new friends, a humbling Quake 3 experience and lots of fond memories.
August 27th, 2002
Fragmart Day 1 ReportThe date is August 22, 2002. The place is Richmond Curling Club. The event ? Fragmart 2002. Today marks the LAN Gaming event with more than 160 eager young gamers pitting their skills against one another in CS, Quake3 and DoD for more than $10,000 in prizes.

Nintendo Trans-Canada Tour ReportNeoseeker was recently invited by Nintendo to attend a trans-Canada event, where members of the press, retail reps, and young 'uns alike get go to hands-on with playable demos of upcoming Nintendo titles showcased at E3. Being that the event would be there for one day only before moving on to other Nintendo offices across Canada, we couldn't resist.
August 2nd, 2002
E3 2002 ReportMany people would do anything short of selling off their own family members to attend an event such as this. The biggest exposition of next gen gaming in the 2002/2003 year for North America. This year I was very fortunate to take part in this event and break it down to everyone else in this writeup. The expo this year consisted of games and features to steal just about anyone's eyes if they were in the right direction. Companies like Nintendo, Logitech, Microsoft, Sony and others went all out to showcase their new products and impress the crowds.

Neoseeker Server Project 2002In early 2001, we were caught by surprise when our server started going ballistic. As more and more users became aware of Neoseeker?s existence, our traffic had slowly started to mount up - to the point where we were literally growing too fast for the server to keep up. We had already undergone several painful server transitions, and we were faced with the hard decision of HOW to alleviate the server load.

Xbox Birthday Bash ReportThe Xbox, Microsoft's entry into the console videogame arena, is finally launching across North America and to celebrate its release here in Canada, Microsoft had organized the "Xbox Birthday Bash" event to kick off the system.

E3 2001 Report Day 2Being fully rested and recharged from a good night?s sleep and a ?hearty? continental breakfast (consisting of grapefruit juice and a bagel for me), we made our way back to the circus that we all call E3. Because we had arrived relatively early, there wasn?t a crowd yet but people were beginning to trickle in. Since we had already explored a lot of South Hall already, we decided to go downstairs to Kentia Hall (the ?Forgotten Hall? as some people call it) where some international developers and other smaller companies made their home at E3.
June 1st, 2001
E3 2001 Report Day 1So there I was, with Allan (who was along for the ride and acting as my photographer) at E3. Supposedly, this is where the best, the ?l33t? folks of the gaming community go to hang out every year in order to show off their new products or to take a closer look at said products. Although the conference portion of E3 had started a day earlier, the exhibits opened that day on May 17. Being an E3 virgin, I didn?t really know what to expect other than the fact that there would be new games, assorted gaming paraphernalia, and booth babes on display. There is one thing that I have to say at this point, and that is no matter how much you?ve read about E3 in the past, or how many pictures you?ve seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer size of the event.

COMDEX Canada West 2001ReportCOMDEX is a haven for anyone and everyone interested in today?s computing technology.

COMDEX Canada West, which is held in Vancouver, BC, is a much more modest event with just over 100 exhibitors. While not the gala event that we know of COMDEX Las Vegas, COMDEX Canada West still has some interesting presentations and displays, including a sweet Quake3 setup.

The brass locater buttons have number 1 stamped on them. The shell plate has number 2 stamped on them. The powder flaring tool when placed up next to a sized .45acp brass touches the shoulder. There is a D stamped on this part. I don't see how I am going to get much if any flare. Did I get the right parts inside the conversion kit?

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - The Your Friends & Neighbors group home could soon be shut down by the state of Indiana for "no cause".
We've learned Your Friends & Neighbors' contract has been terminated by the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration.
Your Friends & Neighbors CEO Justin Beal said his family-owned company signed a contract with the FSSA that said either party could end their relationship for no cause with 60 days notice.
Meanwhile, FSSA officials have exercised that right not once, but twice.
"I think the end of the era is here I think that sometimes these clients could be better served with another company," said Former Your Friends & Neighbors Employee Shannon Miller.
Your Friends & Neighbors recently appealed to a judge and won the right to keep their clients.
However, the FSSA said contractually they have the power to make the "decision of ultimate authority" and ruled their contract termination was valid.
Your Friends & Neighbors serves 200 clients and employs nearly 500 people.
However, some former workers told Indiana's NewsCenter the group home still owes them money.
"There's very little communication until something hits the news or hits the media, or something else, then they wanna you know contact somebody and say something but you gotta have better communication than that," said Miller while shaking her head in disapproval.
Your Friends & Neighbors officials said they plan on paying all former employees.
Meanwhile, former CEO Ernie Beal was sentenced to prison earlier this year for stealing clients' money.
Current CEO Justin Beal would not say if he thinks his father's conviction had anything to do with the contract termination.
However, Beal would not deny that fact either.
Your Friends & Neighbors is working with their legal counsel to appeal the decision.
Beal added he can not believe that state used their own employee to review the case.

Profits of Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank up by 41%
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), one of the UAE's leading financial institutions, Tuesday announced a net profit for the third quarter 2004 of AED 216.8 million against Dh 153.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of 41 per cent. For the nine months ended September 2004 net profit increased to Dh 520.7 million, compared to Dh 428.1 million in 2003, representing an increase of 22 per cent over the previous year.
"ADCB continues the implementation of the strategic business initiatives begun in early 2003 and the results are reflected in the improved 3rd quarter figures" said Saeed Mubarak Al Hajeri, Chairman of ADCB. He went on to say "the results we are witnessing are a reflection of the hard work and commitment of everyone at ADCB; the Board, management and staff" "The challenge we gave ourselves to rebuild the foundations of the Bank and build sustainable success is apparent through the Bank's positive performance in 2004 and particularly the 3rd quarter."
"Activity in 2004 has focused on creating a new and powerful dynamic through the realignment of the branch network into sales and service outlets, the introduction of new products and services and a new contact centre. We are confident that the results of the third quarter, the business environment and the strong pipeline of new business make the prospects for the future performance of the bank very good," stated Eirvin Knox, Chief Executive Officer of ADCB.
"Significant progress with recoveries of non-performing loans and the launch of the Bank's new branding and corporate image have been highlights of the year. Also, the Bank's investment in people and IT systems continues to be a main focus in order to provide the highest levels of efficiency while significantly increasing customer satisfaction," concluded Mr. Knox.

And a cardboard sign on the front door reads: "Closed -- Opening Soon."
Residents have heard rumors about what caused the tiny town's only late-night eatery to shutter. Most, though, simply shrug their shoulders.
"It's very sad," said Sandy Dick, who co-owns Main Street seafood restaurant Dick's Dock with her husband, Bob. "That was Metuchen. It's definitely missed."
But James Koukourdelis, who has owned the diner since 1974, said he hopes to re-open it by the end of September.
And the mystery of the Duchess? It apparently comes down to money. Koukourdelis said the gasping economy played a role.
"It was a couple other problems, too," he said without specifying. "I have a lot of bills. I have a big mortgage. It's very difficult for a small business to survive in this economy."
The Duchess, which sits on Lake Avenue with its teal roof and stone facade, has been a Metuchen landmark for half-a-century. Longtime residents remember when it was an old silver boxcar diner.
Police officers and rescue squad workers ate there when the other restaurants in town shut down for the night. High schoolers from neighboring Edison stopped by on prom night when the diners along routes 1 and 27 are too crowded.
"They always had customers there," said Colin Masterson, a 20-year-old Edison resident who works at Dick's Dock.
But Main Street has blossomed over the last decade. Trendy restaurants now dot the three-square-mile borough of 13,000 people, drawing business away from old-town eateries like the Duchess.
"The last number of years, I've seen less and less people go in there," Mayor Thomas Vahalla said. "It didn't seem to have the same number of cars as it used to."
The Duchess closed in October. One rumor blamed delinquent taxes, but Vahalla said the diner's taxes have been paid on time.
Some residents say they haven't missed it. That they now grab breakfast at the Friendly's in town. And, the Menlo Park Diner in Edison isn't that far away.
But Koukourdelis plans to renovate the Duchess with new carpets and wallpaint before reopening.
He also hopes the buzzing in the lot across the street will help bring back customers.
Construction workers are demolishing the long-vacant former Stop & Shop site on Lake Avenue to make way for a 5.85-acre mixed-use development called The District At Metuchen.
The $70 million complex is slated to include shops and residences -- most notably, the first supermarket in town since the Stop & Shop closed. The project is up for final approval with the borough planning board on Aug. 20. Construction could begin next summer, the mayor said.
"That's a big help for me," said Koukourdelis, who also owns the property around the Duchess, including the land where Precision Motorsports sits and a house on Center Street that was destroyed by fire in December.
"It will bring more people in town who will come to shop and stop for breakfast."

Alabama doesn't let anybody have the spot light for long, does it? Here's looking at you, Oregon.
Literally one day after Oregon released pictures of its new $68 million dollar football facility, Alabama let us inside its new renovations.
It seemed impossible for anybody or anything to outdo Oregon's futuristic and sleek new home, but of course, Nick Saban and his program found a way to do so.
Sporting News posted an article that featured tweets from Chase Goodbread of NFL.com, Andrew Gribble of AL.com and Cecil Hurt of tidesportsextra.com.
Let's compare those pictures to the ones GoDucks.com released yesterday, using a fictitious conversation between the two schools.
This should be mind-boggling.

Alabama: We counter with billiards and an arcade (also awesome).

Oregon: Well, our locker room is slick:
Alabama: You were saying?
Oregon: Fine, but nothing can beat our cafeteria. You've got to admit that.
Alabama: Anti-Gravity Treadmill.

Oregon: ...(walks away).
Oregon may have walked away in the hypothetical that took place in my mind, but there's no doubting the fact that the Ducks' new program is still pretty awesome.
Who has the edge in this "debate" though?
Alabama really went above and beyond to recognize former great players, and that arcade really caught my inner nerd. Bonus points for the waterfalls and Anti-Gravity Treadmill, and if I had to pick, I'd give the slight edge to 'Bama here.
What do you think? Sound off below.

The owner of the 1940s-inspired All Gussied Up said Friday she will turn off the stereo outside her store in answer to complaints from neighbors.
She said she's received positive feedback about the music at the shop she opened in June at 139 S. Main St., and during this economy any gimmick to attract customers is worth a try.
South Main Street neighbor Sheria Wells said she couldn't study due to the music. She told borough council at a meeting earlier this month she started studying at night because it was the only time it's quiet.
"I can hear her music all the way through my entire house," Wells said. "It's nothing personal, but when I am trying to study, I can't focus. I can't go in any part of my house to have that peace and quiet. It put me behind in my schoolwork."
Councilman Carl Fischl, who lives next door to All Gussied Up, said he and his wife both have been disturbed by Pettis-Brush's music.
"When she would play it, it was audible in all the rooms of our house," Barbara Fischl said. "It really was over-the-top loud."
Council members referred Wells to borough code enforcement officer Dennis Huth. Pettis-Brush said Huth visited her business two weeks ago and said the decibel level was fine. Huth did not return repeated phone calls to verify that.
Nazareth police Chief Thomas Trachta has received at least two complaints about Pettis-Brush's music, although neither complainer was willing to testify in district court on the matter. Trachta said he would cite Pettis-Brush with disorderly conduct and amplification for advertising if someone was willing to go to court.
Pettis-Brush initially played the tunes until 7 p.m. four days a week and then knocked it back to just Fridays and Saturdays. This past Friday, she said she would turn off the stereo for good.
Pettis-Brush doesn't want to have the neighborhood turn against her.
"I just want to have a successful business in town," Pettis-Brush said. "To me a lot of people come into my shop and say, 'Oh my goodness, I would have never knew you would be there' until they heard the music."
Council members in 2011 had amended the borough's noise ordinance after two complaints about the Internet Cafe and Deli's open mike night led to a disorderly conduct citation.
The revised law requires council approval for an outdoor event such as an open mike or karaoke night. The borough reinstated open mike night at the cafe as a borough-sanctioned event and spent an estimated $180 on a noise meter.
Former owner Steve Nikles has since sold the business.
"The hardest thing is you're coming into a business with not a lot of money, you're taking everything you have to put into the business," Nikles said last week. "If I knew now the way I was going to be hassled, I would have moved my business to Bethlehem."

It's been a rough week for Chip Kelly's offense, and they haven't even taken the field yet.
First Phil Simms of CBS ranked Kelly's offense as one of the "five worst units" in the entire NFL. Now ESPN analyst Merrill Hoge is taking his shot.
Speaking on 97.5 the Fanatic, Hoge seemed less than impressed with Kelly's offense. Here is what Hoge has to say according to Eagles 24/7.
"In college, the bottom line is my athlete is better than your athlete. I'm gonna win a high percentage of the time. In the National Football League, it's about matchups," Hoge said. "You have to do something each and every week to put your best guys in the best matchups you can create. And I will tell you this, every week when I plug in the Eagles' offense, it's the most vanilla."
Hoge then went on to take shots at Kelly's playcalling.
"They start out with the bubble screen, they have the three wide receivers on one side, the option," Hoge said. "But I think the thing that's probably most disturbing is it's starting to take its toll and you're starting to see the effects of a college system being applied to the National Football League."
Is he right? Vanilla or not, it's hard to argue that the Eagles offense isn't effective. Kelly's unit is currently third in total yards per game, averaging just over 425 yards. They are also first in rushing yards with an average of 165 yards per game. It is also interesting that Hoge would point out matchups, as Kelly's entire offensive premise is based on getting the right matchups based on what the defense is showing him.
Still, there is no denying that Kelly's offense has not been the crazy, unpredictable unit many thought it would. Save for a trick-play on an extra-point against Kansas City, or splitting the offensive tackles out wide once, there has been no "wow" play or revolutionary offensive formations.
As long as the offense is producing, however, it's hard to imagine Kelly taking Hoge's opinion to heart.

Why am I so tired?
Lately I have been having consistent (consistent in that I've had them every day for the past few days, not consistent enough to time), BH contractions, and I'm pretty sure I have lost my mucus plug as of yesterday...I'm also really tired!
I'm definitely not depressed, but I've noticed I've also been sleeping a lot more the past few days. Did anyone else sleep a lot before they went in to labor?
It could be your body gearing up for labor!
When I went into labor with Claire I'd been having contractions most of the day and then 10:30pm rolls around and I'm juuuuuust about to head to bed when my water broke lol so it was to the hospital we went!

State Police Troop B and the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office will team up to conduct a sobriety checkpoint Friday night in St. Bernard Parish. The checkpoint will begin at 7 p.m.
The State Police news release does not specify where in the parish the checkpoint will be set up. Law enforcement routinely advise drivers when, and in which parish, sobriety checkpoints will be conducted.
State Police said in 2012 nearly 40 percent of the fatal car crashes in Louisiana involved alcohol.
To report dangerous drivers or hazardous roadway conditions, call *LSP (*577) from your cell phone, State Police said.

WETUMPKA, Alabama -- A judge will decide whether Harvey Updyke should pay more than $1 million to Auburn University for the poisoning of the iconic Toomer's Oaks in September.
A restitution hearing in the case has been set for Sept. 18, according to an order filed Thursday by Elmore County Judge Jacob A. Walter III. Auburn University is seeking restitution in the amount of $1,042,79.34.
Updyke, 64, pleaded guilty March 22 to one count of unlawful damage of an animal or crop facility as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
He was sentenced to 6 months in jail under a 3-year split sentence and is now serving five years of supervised probation since his release from jail on June 10. Updyke had 104 days of jail credit at the time of his sentencing.
Updyke poisoned the iconic oaks on the Auburn University campus sometime after the 2010 Iron Bowl. The oaks were cut down on April 23. The university plans to redevelop the corner before the start of the 2014 football season.
The university claims that the cost of the work associated with the damage to the trees and the expenses paid by the Alabama Department Agriculture and Industries for analysis on soil samples totals $521,396.74.
That amount was doubled due to Alabama law requiring anyone convicted of animal or crop damage to pay double to amount of damages.
Updyke's attorneys, Andrew Stanley and Margaret Young Brown, have objected to the restitution stating the amount was "unduly excessive, burdensome, and will result in unjust enrichment for the victim, Auburn University," in an objection filed June 12.
Updyke is reportedly living with family in Louisiana and will not attend the court hearing.

Voters in just two Somerset County regional school districts, Montgomery and Hillsborough, will decide proposed 2012-13 tax levies and choose candidates to fill open seats on their school boards today, April 17.
That's because school boards in every other district in the county voted to move board member elections to coincide with the November general election. New Jersey school districts that hold candidate elections in November no longer need voters to approve the tax levies that support their budgets, so long as the year-over-year increase in the levy doesn't exceed 2%.
Rocky Hill and Montgomery Township voters will choose among four candidates to fill three three-year terms on the combined nine-member school board. Newcomers Jeffrey Grant and Judy Humza and incumbents Humberto Goldini and Adelle Kirk vie for the three open seats.
Voters will decide a $65,391,607 school tax levy to support the district's proposed 2012-13 current expense budget of $72,118,811. Tax payers in Montgomery Township will kick in $63,874,144 of the total levy. Those in Rocky Hill will have to come up with $1,517,463.
The proposed levy represents an increase of $904,973, or 1.4%, over the current year's assessment.
The district's proposed 2012-13 spending plan is $2,398,771 more than this year's current expense budget, up about 3.4%.
Hillsborough Township and Millstone Borough voters will choose among five candidates to fill three three-year seats on that nine-member combined school board. Dana Boguszewski is the only incumbent. The other candidates are Lorraine Soisson, Allen Zdroik, Deena Centofanti and Aldo Martinez.
The district has proposed spending $113,941,037 for current and capital expenses during the 2012-13 school year. That's up about $3.4 million from this year. It needs to raise $78,639,861 in local taxes to support the budget, an increase of less than 1%.
Hillsborough taxpayers will provide the bulk of the levy, $77,832,299; Millstone taxpayers will provide the balance, $807,563.
Polls in Hillsborough and Millstone are open 2-9 p.m.

I feel like we are living in a world that is obsessed with power and efficiency. It all started with the industrial revolution and the ideas that made factory lines efficient. Each factory worker had a station on the factory line and their task was to do the same thing over and over again. By setting up the tasks in this manner, workers became extremely efficient at performing their task, thus enabling the factory line to move at a higher speed. Now it is a bit different, as the current culture is that we will not settle for a lower amount of power but we also don't want to pay for it, whether that is in gasoline or electricity does not matter.
"Global Warming" is certainly another reason for the obsession of efficiency, ideally to reduce carbon emissions. One thing that this culture has caused is more standard setting organizations to be created. For computer power supplies, we have the 80 Plus group which certifies PSUs based on their efficiency rating from 80% minimum all the way up to a platinum rating with a 94% maximum efficiency. They don't just take the manufacturer's word for granted either, they push the power supplies to their max to ensure that they really meet their set standards.
The Antec HCP-850 Platinum is an 850 watt PSU carrying the 80 Plus Platinum rating. The Antec HCP-850 Platinum is fully modular featuring stealthy black sleeved cables. The fully modular cables include the first ever 20 + 8 pin ATX connector for future expansion (still 24-pin on motherboard side), as well as 16-pin connections to allow future connections. Connectors include six 4-pin Molex connections, nine 15-pin SATA power cables, one floppy cable, one 4+4 pin ATX/EPS connector, one 8-pin EPS 12V, six 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors, and one OC Link cables. The HCP-850 Platinum has four 12V rails to accommodate all of its various connectors; these rails can provide the full 850 watts of power and up to 40A on each rail. Along with the 12V rails is 25A on both the 3.3V and 5V rails, with up to 130W of power available. Cooling is provided by a 135mm Dual Ball Bearing fan with a variable speed controller. Ideally, this will keep the PSU as quiet as possible while providing sufficient cooling. Being Platinum rated also means that the PSU is up to 94% efficient, reducing overall electrical costs. A full suite of power protection circuits are included and the quality components are backed by Antec's seven year warranty.

PATERSON — A state appeals court has upheld the firing of a former Paterson first-grade teacher who called her students "future criminals" on her personal Facebook page.
Jennifer O'Brien, an Elmwood Park resident who began working for Paterson schools in 1998, claimed in her appeal that her comments were protected by the First Amendment, and that her right to express her opinion "was outweighed by the district's interest in the efficient operation of its schools."
According to court documents, O'Brien was working as a technology coordinator at the city's School No. 29, but prior to the 2010-2011 school year, was transferred to School No. 21. She was originally assigned to a fifth-grade classroom, but was quickly put in charge of a group of 23 first-graders, all of whom were either black or Latino.
In late March 2011, O'Brien made two posts to her Facebook page. The first read, "I'm not a teacher — I'm a warden for future criminals!" while the second read, "They had a scared straight program in school - why couldn't (I) bring (first) graders?"
The school's principal was informed of the comments the following day by O'Brien's former principal at School No. 29. He confronted her about them the next day, but characterized her response as "unrepentant."
News about the posts quickly hit the media, and the district sparked numerous complaints from parents and a protest, leading to a complaint against O'Brien and an unpaid suspension.
Because O'Brien was tenured, the case was sent to an administrative law judge. O'Brien argued that her comments were not racist, but were based her frustration with bad behavior by her students, including stealing and hitting one another.
However, the judge rejected her arguments, calling her comments "intemperate and vituperative" and saying they made cooperation with parents impossible. She was fired immediately after the ruling.
The appeals panel upheld the ruling this morning, swing that "the seriousness of O'Brien's conduct warranted her removal from her tenured position in the district."

Estonian weight loss stunt features starving Buchenwald prisoners
Estonian dieters have been advised about a new weight loss method via a "humorous"advert that featured Jewish concentration camp prisoners.
In what the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a leading human rights organisation, described as "sick", the advert included a photograph of emaciated prisoners and the tagline: "One, two, three: Dr Mengele's diet pills work miracles on you. There were no fatties in Buchenwald."
The offending advert was published in the comedy pages of the weekly news magazine Eesti Ekspress.
Dr Efraim Zuroff, a prominent Nazi hunter and Holocaust expert, said it was "incomprehensible" that the publication would publish "such a perverted attempt at humour at the expense of the Nazis' millions of victims".
He added: "What can one expect in a country which glorifies its SS veterans and failed to prosecute a single one of its many Nazi collaborators?"
The deputy editor of the publication defended its inclusion on the basis that it was not serious, but was rather an attempt to mock an Estonian gas company which recently had to retract and advert that used an image of Auschwitz.
"It was not targeted against Jewish people," insisted Sulev Vedler.

Two collisions along TCH in blustery Wednesday conditions
DEER LAKE One man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries Wednesday afternoon when the minivan he was driving was hit from behind by an 18-wheel truck near Deer Lake.
The collision happened during whiteout conditions on the Trans-Canada Highway, police said.
The driver of the 18-wheeler, who was on the scene and appeared uninjured, said those whiteout conditions were what caused the accident. He did not want to give his name or an interview, but did say that drivers should keep the backs of their vehicles clear, as snow covering up the vehicles' back ends can often make them camouflaged in blowing snow.
Police added that they are still finding drivers going too fast for the conditions and said they need to slow down, or the ticket they may get would be the least worrisome part of their snowy day.
Shortly after that incident, another accident took place just up the highway because of the high winds and blowing snow. Police were still investigating the crash as of 1:30 p.m.
For a day that was previously forcasted to be relatively clear of any severe weather, Wednesday saw a freakish storm whip through Deer Lake, creating hazardous driving conditions both in and outside the town.
Deer Lake superintendent Dave Thomas said snow removal crews got through the rough day.
"We've had crews out since 4 a.m.," he said
"The biggest (challenge) today is that the snow drifts. We'll clear an area and have to go back and do it again, but we're getting through it."

With three new traffic signals being installed this summer in the immediate Malone area, we will explain in this article what goes into the determination on whether or not an intersection should be controlled by stop signs or a full traffic signal.
In all cases, an engineering study is required and is normally conducted by the state Department of Transportation. This study considers traffic conditions, pedestrian characteristics, and physical characteristics of the intersection in question.
Some of the data obtained from the study includes the number of vehicles entering the intersection from each approach, vehicular volumes for each traffic movement from each approach, traffic classification by vehicle type, pedestrian volume counts and whether they are young or elderly.
Other considerations include the physical characteristics of the intersection, vehicle hours of stopped time (vehicles waiting to enter intersection), gaps in traffic on the main street, and crash data.
Federal guidance says a traffic control signal should not be installed unless an engineering study indicates at least one of nine criteria, also known as traffic signal warrants, is met and engineering judgment indicates that a signal would improve the overall safety and operation of the intersection and not seriously disrupt the progressive flow of traffic.
Satisfaction of one or more warrants shall not in itself require the installation of a traffic signal at a given location. Before a final determination is made that a signal should be installed, other remedies, such as turning lanes, should be considered.
The nine warrants considered are:
-Eight-hour vehicular volume - intended for intersections where there is a large volume of intersecting traffic and considers the vehicles per hour on the major street and the minor street over an 8-hour period.
-Four hour vehicular volume - similar to eight-hour warrant but considers four-hour volumes.
-Peak hour - intended for use at a location where traffic conditions are such that for a minimum of one hour the minor street suffers undue delay.
-Pedestrian volume - considered where the traffic volume on the major street is so heavy that pedestrians experience excessive delay in crossing.
-School crossing - intended where the fact that school children crossing the main street is the principal reason to consider a traffic control signal.
-Coordinated signal system - considered where progressive movement in a coordinated signal system necessitates a signal to maintain proper platooning of vehicles. This is not applied where another signal is within 1,000 feet.
-Crash experience - used where the frequency and severity of crashes is the principal reason to consider a signal.
-Roadway network - used to encourage organization of traffic flow on a roadway network (nothing locally).
-Intersection near a railroad crossing - not normally used.
To satisfy the above warrants, tables of vehicle volumes on both the major and minor streets as well as pedestrians are utilized. If the numbers equal or exceed the value in the tables, it may be justification for a signal. It is not a case of just saying "this would be a good place for a signal". As drivers, we all like to think we are also traffic engineers, but we aren't. Let's leave that to those who are.

moRon Paul Says We Shouldn't Have Killed Osama bin Ladden!
Ron Paul, the GOP's cranky old uncle, has been spouting his isolationist, appeaser-styled foreign policy ideas for decades but with this bin Ladden business he has again gone too far. Now Ron Paul says we should never have killed Osama bin Ladden.
Ron Paul says he would not have authorized the mission that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, and that President Barack Obama should have worked with the Pakistani government instead of authorizing a raid.
As to if he would have given the go-ahead to kill OBL, Paul said:
"I don't think it was necessary, no. It absolutely was not necessary," Paul said during his Tuesday comments. "I think respect for the rule of law and world law and international law. What if he'd been in a hotel in London? We wanted to keep it secret, so would we have sent the airplane, you know the helicopters into London, because they were afraid the information would get out?"
So, moRon Paul would go to our avowed enemies and ask them if pretty, pretty please will they help us capture the guy they love and have been hiding from us for more than a decade.
Ron Paul is an idiot in the extreme on foreign policy. He is Chamberlainesque at best and self-destructive at worst… maybe those are synonymous, anyway.
It's bad enough that moRon Paul is such a Jew hater, but now he is foolish enough to imagine that our enemies will help us achieve our foreign policy goals if we go hat-in-hand to them and ask them nicely. Ronald Reagan Ron Paul is decidedly not.
If this guy ever became president we would be in major trouble. It's no wonder he can never get more than 3% support and those that DO support him are usually weirdos.

Fun Home, the musical based on Alison Bechdel's graphic novel, and Appropriate, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' play about an unhappy family reunion, were among the big winners at the 59th annual Village Voice Obie Awards, presented May 19 at Webster Hall. Fun Home took home Obies for its music (Jeanine Tesori), book and lyrics (Lisa Kron), and direction (Sam Gold). In addition, ten-year-old Sydney Lucas was honored for her performance and she sang a number from the show at the ceremony. "I've wanted to be an actress from as long as I can remember," she said in her acceptance speech, "like since I was four. That's half my lifetime, so it's a long time to me." Lucas is the youngest winner in Obie history. Fun Home had a limited engagement at the Public Theater and has also won awards from the New York Drama Critics Circle and the Outer Critics Circle. There are reports it might be moving to Broadway next season.
Appropriate, produced at Signature Theatre Company, won for its direction (Liesl Tommy), performance by cast member Johanna Day, and playwright Jacobs-Jenkins took the award for Best New American Play which also included his other work An Octoroon presented by SoHo Rep. Another Signature Theatre Company production, The Open House also won for author Will Eno's script and Oliver Butler's direction. Eno is currently represented on Broadway with The Realistic Joneses.
The awards were hosted by Hamish Linklater (The Crazy Ones) and Tamara Tunie (Law and Order: SVU). Estelle Parsons, who recently appeared on Broadway in The Velocity of Autumn, received the Lifetime Achievement Award and regaled the rowdy crowd with anecdotes of her early career Off-Broadway including appearing in a revue with one audience consisting of four people — who left at intermission.
Presenters included Betsy Aidem (All the Way), Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots, Casa Valentina), Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Andy Karl (Rocky), playwright David Bar Katz, Cristin Milioti (Once), Kelli O'Hara (The Bridges of Madison County), and Stephen Trask (co-creator, music and lyrics, Hedwig and the Angry Inch).
The 2014 Obie Award Committee is composed of critic Michael Feingold (chairman); playwright-composer Kirsten Childs; Nicky Paraiso, director of programming for The Club at La MaMa and curator of the annual La MaMa Moves!; Tony winning actress Tonya Pinkins (Caroline or Change, Jelly's Last Jam); critic Michael Sommers (new Jersey Newsroom); and fight director Rock Sordelet.
