Jeff Bridges to release music album
Hollywood actor Jeff Bridges is set to launch his own acoustic guitar music career after winning an Oscar for his performance in Crazy Heart.
In the film he played a down-and-out musician looking for a break, but it seems to be a matter of life imitating art, as Bridges looks set to release his first studio album this year.
Due out in the summer, the work has been produced by T-Bone Burnett, Music Mix reports, and Bridges will be performing a number of original pieces, as well as covers of classic tracks from Tom Waits, Bo Ramsey and Greg Brown.
He secured the record deal with noted jazz label Blue Note - which also sports artists including Norah Jones and Amos Lee.
Elsewhere, Fleet Foxes lead singer Robin Pecknold recently told NME magazine that the band's latest album was partly inspired by the dreams he had while trying to give up smoking.
"It [kind of] got to the point where I'd put a nicotine patch on before going to bed to see what would happen," he said, claiming that the patches made his dreams both "vivid" and "fun".

New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division
Decided: February 27, 1979.
AMELIA HELEN BIXENMAN AND WILLIAM THOMAS BIXENMAN, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS,v.CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH PARISH HOUSE, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Ocean County.
Fritz, Bischoff and Morgan. The opinion of the court was delivered by Fritz, P.J.A.D.
[166 NJSuper Page 150]
There is no essential dispute with respect to the facts of the matter presented. As is appropriate in such case, the trial judge entered summary judgment. It is from this judgment in favor of defendant that plaintiffs appeal.
Amelia Bixenman, the injured plaintiff (hereafter simply plaintiff) -- her husband sues per quod -- is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church of Ocean County. In May 1975, and for several months prior thereto, that church, having no sanctuary of its own, was permitted to use premises owned by defendant and "loaned to them until such time as they have built and can move into their own Church." In exchange for this privilege the Greek Orthodox Church paid a nominal rental, euphemistically called a donation. Evidence that this amount did not cover the cost to defendant is uncontroverted.
Sometime during that May, Amelia had attended church services after which she had gone to the parish house. While leaving the parish house she "was caused to fall" down five steps from a platform at the door of the parish house "by a stone that was beneath my foot." In this suit she seeks damages for resulting injuries.
At the outset we observe that the serious question as to whether the accident as described demonstrated a prima facie case of negligence was not argued below or here. In fact, plaintiffs in their brief before us claim that their motion for summary judgment was "in essence, to strike the defendant respondent's defense of charitable immunity," and that "defendant respondent was cross-moving to establish charitable
[166 NJSuper Page 151]
immunity in the defendant respondent." While neither party has favored us with the motion papers, the motion below was argued by both parties solely on the ground of charitable immunity vel non under N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-7 and we confine our review to this aspect.
Plaintiffs argue first that the leasing of the church property or the giving of it to another for its use is not within the ambit of the "performance of the charitable objectives for which [the lending or leasing church] was organized" and therefore plaintiff could not have been a "beneficiary * * * of the works" of that church. We reject this argument out of hand. It seems perfectly apparent to us that the facilitating of the worship of the Deity, albeit by others than their own parishioners, even those of a different Christian denomination or, for that matter, a different faith, is among the foremost of the religious, charitable and educational works for which a church exists and that such effort comes well within the statutory intendment. No less confining a definition was proposed by the recognition of the "propagation of religion" as an appropriate criterion of the church as a "charitable institution" in Bianchi v. South Park Presbyterian Church , 123 N.J.L. 325, 330 (E. & A. 1939).*fn1 That same long-respected authority notes further,
Such activities are plainly classable as a secondary church function in aid of its primary purpose. They serve as well to exemplify
[166 NJSuper Page 152]
religious doctrine. And, wholly apart from their religious significance, they are essentially charitable in nature as designed to advance the common interest in basal particulars. The vitalization of the spiritual concept of the brotherhood of man -- the bond that "makes all men one" -- fundamental in the social compact as expressed in our American democracy, is of paramount public concern. * * *. [123 N.J.L. at 332-333; emphasis supplied]
While Bianchi dealt with the use of a church house, appurtenant to the church edifice, for the meeting of a scout troop, and its language is geared to that social purpose as an extension of the primary religious purpose, it is evident that the Bianchi court refused to limit the immunity of the church to parochial activities. The trial judge in the matter before us was satisfied that the situation was controlled by Bianchi. We believe the Bianchi rule is a fortiori here.
Plaintiff leans on the denial of immunity in Sommers v. Union Beach First Aid Squad , 139 N.J. Super. 425 (App. Div. 1976), and Book v. Aguth Achim Anchai of Freehold, N.J. , 101 N.J. Super. 559 (App. Div. 1968). But each of these turned (the latter in part at least) upon the fact that the injured plaintiff was not a beneficiary of the works of defendant but rather "one unconcerned in and unrelated to and outside of the benefactions" of defendant. N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-7. Needless to say, the bingo-for-profit in Book is also quite distinguishable from the purpose of the letting in the matter before us.
Plaintiffs' remaining argument is that if defendant's purpose came within the statute, it was the Greek Orthodox Church and not Amelia who was the recipient of defendant's benefactions. The argument is frivolous. We do not tarry long with the metaphysics of the fact that while a church may be a religious and corporate entity, it is not corporeal and receives benefits only as its members or beneficiaries are benefited. Rather, we simply note that Amelia was physically present on the premises of Christ Episcopal Church and was there for the purpose of receiving the benefits being offered. If a spectator at a little league ball game
[166 NJSuper Page 153]
is a beneficiary of the little league's works (Pomeroy v. Little League Baseball of Collingswood , 142 N.J. Super. 471 (App. Div. 1976)), or a wife at a library merely to keep her husband company is, while casually viewing exhibits and maps there on public display, a beneficiary of the society maintaining that building (Peacock v. Burlington Cty. Historical Soc. , 95 N.J. Super. 205 (App. Div. 1967), certif. den. 50 N.J. 290 (1967)), or a nonmember spectator guest at a church wedding is a beneficiary of the works of that church (Anasiewicz v. Sacred Heart Church , 74 N.J. Super. 532 (App. Div. 1962), certif. den. 38 N.J. 305 (1962)), or a visitor to a patient at a hospital is a beneficiary of that charitable foundation (Boeckel v. Orange Memorial Hospital , 108 N.J.L. 453 (Sup. Ct. 1932), aff'd o.b. 110 N.J.L. 509 (E. & A. 1933)), then we have no doubt that Amelia was a beneficiary of the works of defendant. We cannot perceive any rational basis for a determination that she is, to the contrary, "one unconcerned in and unrelated to and outside of the benefactions of" defendant. Nor do we need the support of N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-10, i.e. , that the immunity statute is remedial and is to be liberally construed, to arrive at this conclusion. Mayer v. Fairlawn Jewish Center , 38 N.J. 549 (1962) and Sommers v. Union Beach First Aid Squad, supra , cited by defendants are readily distinguishable.

State of New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division Third Judicial Department
December 31, 2009
IN THE MATTER OF TIMOTHY P. NAPOLI, PETITIONER,v.THOMAS P. DINAPOLI, AS STATE COMPTROLLER, RESPONDENT.
Calendar Date: November 23, 2009
Before: Cardona, P.J., Rose, Malone Jr., Stein and Garry, JJ.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 (transferred to this Court by order of the Supreme Court, entered in Albany County) to review a determination of respondent which denied petitioner's application for accidental disability retirement benefits.
Petitioner retired from his position as a detective specializing in crime scene investigation for the City of Newburgh Police Department in November 2007. Earlier that year, petitioner applied for accidental disability retirement benefits alleging that he was permanently disabled as the result of an incident that occurred in 1997 when he fell from an eight-foot-high ledge while processing latent fingerprints outside a second- story window of a home that had just been burglarized. After his application was disapproved, he requested a hearing and redetermination. Following the hearing, a Hearing Officer concluded that the incident did not constitute an accident within the meaning of the Retirement and Social Security Law and denied petitioner's application. Respondent accepted the Hearing Officer's findings of fact and conclusions of law, prompting this CPLR article 78 proceeding.
We confirm. A "[p]petitioner bears the burden of proving that his [or her] injury was accidental and [respondent's] determination in that regard will be upheld if supported by substantial evidence" (Matter of O'Brien v New York State Comptroller, 56 AD3d 937, 938 [2008], lv denied 12 NY3d 708 [2009]). Moreover, "[a]n accident within the meaning of the Retirement and Social Security Law is a sudden and extraordinary event that is unrelated to the ordinary risks of employment" (Matter of Santorsola v McCall, 302 AD2d 727, 728 [2003]), and "injuries that arise out of an employee's own misstep or inattention will not merit an accidental disability determination" (Matter of Magrino v DiNapoli, 64 AD3d 868, 869 [2009]).
Here, petitioner testified that his job duties included investigating, searching for, documenting, protecting and evaluating evidence. To that extent, in addition to dusting the window for fingerprints, petitioner was on the ledge looking for any evidence that the burglar may have left behind, such as tools, cigarettes, gum, footprints, hair or other DNA evidence. Petitioner described the ledge -- which he had been on for approximately 10 minutes prior to his fall -- as three feet wide, easily accessible from the back of the house and covered in a tar-like, rubbery substance. Despite realizing after he fell that there was moisture on the surface of the ledge where he slipped, petitioner also testified that the incident occurred on a warm, sunny day and the ledge appeared to be dry as he was moving across it. Accordingly, inasmuch as the foregoing suggests the inference that petitioner's injuries were the result of his own misstep or inattention while he was engaged in the performance of his ordinary employment duties, respondent's decision is supported by substantial evidence and we decline to disturb it (see id.).
Rose, Malone Jr., Stein and Garry, JJ., concur.
ADJUDGED that the determination is confirmed, without costs, and petition dismissed.

"We get requests for shirts all the time. They're probably more popular than we are, actually," says agency co-founder Cal McAllister. "The real reason we're doing it is to develop Wexley as a brand. That's always been our goal. It's not about people buying our swag, we've been in a couple boutique stores in Brooklyn (like Watts on Smith) and here in Seattle for about two years and they're selling out." Besides useful information on space and time travel on the Bi-Lateral Organisms of Gloms (B.L.O.G.) and flash videos capturing various moments in history, the site has five styles of T-shirt and one baby wrapper for sale for $28, which includes shipping.

text: Google-translated site: Google Translate The executive summary (my interpretation): the LX7's new sensor - which is not a Panasonic design, BTW - offers the about same IQ as the previous, despite being a touch smaller. The Google-translated phrase is, "basically no difference". I think we've all seen in that past that phrases similar to "basically no difference" sometimes mean, "slightly worse, but most people won't notice". Of course, the smaller sensor does allow the faster lens to fit in the LX7 body, which is only fractionally larger than the LX5. I wonder if the low-ISO output of th enew MOS sensor will compare favorably to the CCD sensor of the LX5... some people believe that CCD's produce better low-ISO output than (C)MOS. The SRP for the LX7 is $499 (in USA) which, when released in approx. 1 month, will place it only about $100 cheaper than the Sony RX100. While the LX7 does have some advantages over the RX100 - faster lens, conversion lenses, hotshoe, available EVF - the Sony has more pixels, better IQ and is more pocketable.

The general manager of the ambulance company threatened with a lawsuit by an attorney for jockey Laffit Pincay Jr. says the Hall of Fame rider declined assistance following the accident at Santa Anita that ended his career.Stacy O'Bryan, general manager of the Huntington Ambulance Service, said that if the lawsuit is filed, she's confident any allegations against her company will prove groundless."I feel confident in saying that (Pincay) was treated professionally and exactly according to the state law," O'Bryan said. "He was also given every opportunity to go to the hospital and declined. When you look at the laws we're governed by, we cannot force a patient to be treated. We absolutely cannot force anyone of sound mind to be treated if they absolutely don't want to.
"I will not settle and I will tell my attorneys not to settle, that's how confident I am that (Huntington Ambulance) followed procedure correctly. The bottom line is that if these attorneys want to find out our side of the story here, we'd be happy to tell it. But so far, nobody has bothered."In a bloodhorse.com report Friday, attorney Neil Papiano said Pincay plans to file a lawsuit this week over the care he received in the minutes following his career-ending spill at Santa Anita on March 1. The attorney said the lawsuit will name Santa Anita, Huntington Ambulance and physician's assistant Angel Delgadillo as defendants."Huntington Ambulance failed to follow appropriate procedures following a serious collision ... the ambulance group permitted Pincay to walk under his own power to the ambulance and then to the first aid station operated by Santa Anita," the suit will allege, according to Papiano.
O'Bryan said Saturday that she previously knew little about the possibility of impending litigation aside from receiving requests for medical records regarding the incident. She said she notified her company's attorney upon reading the bloodhorse.com story.
"(The lawsuit) is all hearsay as far as I'm concerned," O'Bryan said. "I've been in contact with our attorney and told him as much as I know now, which isn't much. The only correspondence we've had with any (of Pincay's) attorneys is when they requested records on the incident, but those belong to the track. Unless we transport to the hospital, those records are property of the racetrack, which employs us."
Huntington ambulance has served the Southern California racing circuit since 1968 and at Santa Anita specifically since 1978.
