There's no way to dance around it: In a season with plenty of ugly hockey to choose from, Friday night was the absolute worst the Flyers have looked.
The thing is, it didn't start out that way. On their way to a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of the Washington Capitals, the Flyers actually started out with some jump.
But when they lost it, they lost it entirely.
It's hard to fathom, at the close of this one, that the Flyers actually held the Capitals to 15 minutes without so much as a shot on net to start the game. It seems like ancient history that Claude Giroux was working hard on the power play, that Steve Mason was his typically reliable self, that the newest Flyer Steve Downie led the way with the first shot of the game.
That's because it was the Capitals who owned this one after fighting past their rocky start. Joel Ward had a hat trick. Nicklas Backstrom had two goals. Jason Chimera and Troy Brouwer added goals of their own. And, by the way, Caps sniper Alexander Ovechkin wasn't even in the lineup.
The Flyers, simply put, had no answer for a Capitals team that's only in sixth place in the Metropolitan Division and not even at .500.
There's no excuse for the product the team put out on the ice.
Restless natives
How frustrated were fans at the Wells Fargo Center Friday night? Frustrated enough that a loud "FIRE HOLMGREN" chant broke out toward the end of the second period, in reference to the Flyers' general manager, and that a chorus of boos kicked off the second intermission.
The building was half empty by the time the third period rolled around.
Shortly after the Capitals' seventh goal, things deteriorated entirely: There was a total line brawl complete with a goalie fight. Caps netminder Braden Holtby wanted absolutely nothing to do with Ray Emery, who completely let loose on him.
The crowd went absolutely wild. At least the Flyers gave them something to cheer about.
Other notable fights: Downie lost a match to Caps winger Aaron Volpatti earlier in the game, and Wayne Simmonds, whose fight with Tom Wilson kicked off the line brawl, easily won his.
Turning point
The turning point of this one was definitely the Caps' first goal of the affair, a Backstrom one-timer that flew over Mason's shoulder. After that goal, the floodgates opened. While the Flyers lead in shots at the end of the first, 8-4, by the time the end of the second period rolled around, they trailed 19-17. And it got worse from there.
Turnover trouble
What's the best way to throw away more than 17 minutes of decent hockey? To make fans forget that your team kept the opponents without a shot on net for 15 minutes? The answer: Make sloppy plays and allow yourself to get outworked. Turnovers led to each of the Caps' three goals -- and could have led to more, had the Flyers not experienced at least a little bit of luck.
Unhappy stat
Friday marked the first time all season the Flyers were not tied, down by a goal, or leading by a goal entering the third period. They were, of course, down by six goals.
Line switches
You have to credit coach Craig Berube for trying something -- anything -- to get his Flyers going. Mid-game, he shuffled up the team's lines, hoping to redirect the evening's course.
Most notably, he took Downie and Vinny Lecavalier off the top line and replaced them with Scott Hartnell and Jakub Voracek, then moved Lecavalier to center the second line where he moved Brayden Schenn (who also had a particularly rough night) to the wing with Simmonds. Downie joined the third line with Matt Read and Sean Couturier.
Goalie report
Turns out, Mason is human after all.
After allowing the game's third goal -- and on just eight shots -- Mason was pulled from the game and replaced with Emery. Mason, it must be noted, shouldn't be blamed for what transpired Friday night. He received hardly any support from his teammates, and that's putting it mildly.
Emery, who replaced Mason in the second period, didn't fare any better. He allowed four goals on 15 shots. And then, following that aforementioned goalie fight, Emery was tossed from the game and Mason returned.
The new guy
Welcome to Philadelphia, Downie! The newest Flyer fought Volpatti late in the second period, and took a punch that cut his face dangerously close to his eye. That one will be black and blue in the morning.
Downie finished the game with two shots in 11:20 on the ice.
Adam Hall returned to the lineup after spending two games as a healthy scratch, so Jay Rosehill sat Friday night. On defense, Andrej Meszaros and Hal Gill were also healthy scratches.
Interestingly, PA announcer Lou Nolan declared Tye McGinn, too, was a healthy scratch … but McGinn was in the Adirondack Phantoms' lineup in Glens Falls, exactly where he was expected to be when the day began.
Up next
Thankfully, it's a quick turnaround for the Flyers, who will take a trip up the New Jersey Turnpike on Saturday and face the New Jersey Devils in less than 24 hours.
In net for the Devils, coach Peter DeBoer confirms will be Martin Brodeur. Emery is finally expected to see some playing time with the Flyers.

Topcoder certainly isn't about benchmarking. Undoubtedly, it would be absolutely awesome to be able to use Haskell in topcoder... but it wouldn't say anything about speed. My guess is that practically no topcoder submissions fail by exceeding the allowable time limit. The competition (the alg one, which is the only one anyone really cares about) is about solving problems quickly (in programmer time) and accurately. But wow, that would be great!

- European Grand Prix
Red Bull still favourite for pole - Alonso
- Race:
- European Grand Prix
- Championship:
- FIA Formula One World Championship
- Drivers:
- Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso believes one of the Red Bulls will take pole position at the European Grand Prix, despite outpacing both and setting the fastest lap in Friday practice.
Alonso was 0.297s clear of Sebastian Vettel in the second practice session and over half a second faster than Mark Webber, but still does not fancy his chances of taking his first pole position of the season.
"The car seems to handle well, therefore we can tackle qualifying with confidence, aware that we are up against very strong rivals: it's not by chance that Red Bull have always taken pole in the first seven races of the year and clearly they are still the favourites," he said. "Overtaking here will be easier than in Monaco, but grid position will nevertheless be important."
He added that the Friday practice times are fairly meaningless: "The track characteristics are well suited to our car, but it is too early to say where we are compared to the others. Already, in the past, we have gone well on the first day only to see ourselves losing out by a second in qualifying, therefore I don't even want to consider today's time sheet. In FP1 and FP2 you try so many things and the track changes very quickly - even more so on a street circuit like this one - so it is really impossible to make predictions."
Ferrari has struggled on Pirelli's harder tyre compounds this year, and Alonso said much of his Friday practice time was dedicated to trying out new solutions.
"We got through all our planned programme, working mainly on tyres, where the chief element at this grand prix is the first appearance of the medium [compound]," he said. "It was important that we were able to do so many laps, because on a circuit like this one, getting a lot of kilometres under your belt helps you gain confidence in the car, looking for the limits and thereby improving performance."

Group Leader: Syria Releases 30 Muslim Brotherhood Militants
Around 30 imprisoned members of Syria's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, a religio-political organization active in north Africa and the Middle East, have been released, the organization's leader, Ali Sadreddine al-Bayayouni, told AFP Thursday.
He said that, according to information directly from Damascus, the militants had been released Wednesday.
There was no details as to their identities or the circumstances of their liberation, Bayayouni added, speaking by telephone from his London residence.
The Paris office of Syria's main human rights organization, the Committee for the Defense of Democratic and Human Rights in Syria (CDF), said earlier Thursday that "dozens of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience were released Wednesday" from prison in Syria.
The spokesman, Ghayath Naisse, said there were "members of the Muslim Brotherhood and various left-wing parties" among them, but added that he did not know the exact number of prisoners released nor their identities.
According to the CDF, there were around 1,500 people held for their beliefs in Syria before this round of releases, compared to 14,000 ten years ago.
The amnesty comes two weeks after Bashar Assad was elected president to succeed his late father, Hafez, who died on June 10th -- LONDON (AFP)

All good ideas are eventually oversold. Corporate vision and values are no exception.
The "vision and values thing" in business took off in the late '70s. To empower workers to focus on quality and service, companies ditched their four-pound policy manuals and instilled "spiritual" ideals about "what's important around here" that leave lots of room for individual initiative.
The idea was -- and is -- right. But there are caveats. Before you know it, a value set becomes more rigid than the rule book it replaces. It ends up stifling the very initiative it was meant to induce.

Two-sided story: Schools, parents debate twins' placement
Trevor is a quarter inch taller.
Justin has a scar on his foot, while Trevor has one on his chin.
But the 8-year-old identical twins share a bond that no school should separate, their parents say.
�We�ve always felt that it was better to keep them together because of that special twin bond,� their father, Tony Ciebell, said. �We felt, far be it from us to break that.�
Tony and his wife, Paula, recently pulled the twins out of Harmony Elementary School because the school refused to put the twins in the same second-grade class.
The Ciebells� disagreement with the Milton School District highlights a debate that has gone on for years among schools and families of twins: Should twins be put in different classrooms or the same room? When is the right time to separate them?
And who gets the final say?
The answer to the first two, at least, is different for every family.
Some believe twins should be separated at a young age so they can develop their own personalities and not rely on each other, according to research from the University of Wisconsin Twin Center in Madison.
Others worry that separating twins can cause emotional problems.
In the Ciebells� case, the school thought keeping the twins together was hindering one twin�s development, according to a letter the parents received from Principal Jeanne Smith.
�Over the course of the last two years, we have noticed that while at school, Justin appears to be emerging as the dominant twin, and Trevor has taken a more subordinate role,� the letter says.
Tony and Paula say that�s ridiculous. Both twins have excelled in school, and if anything, Trevor seems to be the pushier one at home, they said.
�This was totally unexpected for us,� Paula said.
This isn�t the first time the parents have tangled with the school over the twins� placement. The school wanted to separate the boys in first grade, Paula said, but it allowed them to stay together after receiving a letter from their pediatrician saying the boys would experience separation anxiety if separated.
That�s not a far-fetched idea.
A 2004 British study found identical twins separated at age 5 experienced more instances of withdrawal and anxiety and had lower reading scores than twins kept together. Identical twins separated at age 7 experienced similar results, though some twins separated at both ages were perfectly fine.
�The decision of classroom separation is one that should be made on an individual basis, keeping in mind the characteristics and personality of each twin,� the UW Twin Center concludes in a newsletter reviewing the study.
But who makes that decision?
The Ciebells feel it should be the parents. They�re following legislation passed in Minnesota and being considered in other states that gives parents final say over whether twins are placed together or apart
�The parent�s voice comes first,� Paula said.
The Milton School District doesn�t have a policy on twin placement, but administrators get the final say on classroom placement for any student, Superintendent Bernie Nikolay said. The district usually accommodates the parents� wishes with twins, but in this case, the principal thought there was an overriding reason to separate them, he said.
�We�ll do what we think is best for the kids,� he said.
Here are some things parents and schools should keep in mind when deciding whether to keep twins together or separate them, according to the University of Wisconsin Twin Center:
-- The skill level of each child. Teachers and peers often compare twins� abilities to each other. So if one twin is better at sports or academics, the other twin might feel the difference more if the twins are in the same class.
-- The ability of the twins to interact with other children. Although twins are often each other�s closest friends, they still need to be able to develop relationships with other children. If the twins only interact with each other, it may be best to separate them.
-- Any extenuating circumstances that might make keeping the twins together a necessity. For example, if the twins are going through a stressful time such as a divorce or death in the family, they might need each other for support.
-- The thoughts and feelings of the children.

Hey, I don't know if anyone reads this forum any more but I recently installed DoW soulstorm and was advised to get the dawn of skirmish mod as well. The ai works very well but I keep getting an error whenever I select a unit: LOCALIZER -- Requested string ID '5800001' does not fit in a valid key range!
This shows up on the right side of the screen as "No range $5800001". I know this error is coming from the heroes special mod and that the string the game is looking for is the one that gives the rank of the selected unit. If anyone knows how I might go about fixing this please help, thanks.

Ahh yeah sure you grabbed the Soulstorm Advanced AI v3.20? You have Soulstorm 1.20 installed, right? It sounds like you either have the Dark Crusade Advanced AI for Soulstorm installed OR Dark Crusade with the Soulstorm Advanced AI v3.20 installed as the "Requested string ID '5800001' does not fit in a valid key range!" error is caused if you have something missing or installed in wrong location.

The Worst Undershirt in America: Faded Glory
I'm a pretty low maintenance kind of guy. I'm not into fashion, I just like clothes that are comfortable so when I find a brand of jeans I like I buy them for ten years or so.
That said, I've tried more brands of undershirts than I think most men have, at least I would hope so. You name it I've tried them. Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Calvin Kline, Jockey, Gap, Old Navy and I'm sure a few others.
Why do I have a thing for undershirts? Well, for one I'm hairy and no one wants to see my chest hair popping out of a shirt at work. Trust me. Secondly, I…uh…tend to perspire quite a bit and they help prevent pit stains on my nice shirts. That means the undershirts take the brunt of the offense and do eventually stain. Yeah, time to get back to the issue at hand…
A few months back I was in the wilds of Wisconsin on business and lost my luggage. The only store nearby was Wal-Mart so I swung by to get clothes for the next day. I got some underwear, socks, polo shirt and undershirts.
The Faded Glory brand is Wal-Mart's in-house clothing line I guess. I remember my wife buying some underwear for Carter there once just to try them.
I unrolled the first shirt from the bag and immediately could feel how flimsy they were compared to the Jockey Staycools I'm currently using every day (yes, these are the ones Tim Tebow shills). I figured I'd wear the Faded Glory shirts out quickly and toss them, giving more life to my other undershirts. That didn't take long. A week later one of the shirts ripped when I was taking it off. There were three tears right underneath the collar in the front. Otherwise known as the one part of the shirt people see.
In the trash.
Even after a few washes the material of the other two remaining shirts feels itchy; not at all as soft and lush as those Tebow-specials.
The collars on the Wal-Mart shirts haven't lost their shape yet though which is good. Those Hanes commercials where Michael Jordan talks bacon neck…that does happen. In my experience it happens most to Calvin Klein and Hanes undershirts.
I can't recall how much they cost for a three-pack but I'm pretty sure it was over $10 yet cheaper than the Fruit of the Looms that Wal-Mart also stocked. The Jockeys are relatively expensive at $20 a two-pack. You have to wait for a sale.
I'm not a Wal-Mart hater either. We have one a quarter mile away from our house and it is amazingly convenient and certain things are cheaper there than anywhere else…like printer ink.
They just happen to sell the crappiest undershirt I've ever worn.
*In Googling the name of the Jockey Staycools I discovered there is actually a site called The Undershirt Guy. So clearly there is someone who has tried more undershirts than me.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I plead no consent to a petit theft charge and the disposition was withheld adjudication after I paid my court cost and,my fine. I paid everything in full but nothing has changed. I thonk the,company i paid my fine to didnt let the courts know i paid them. What do I do next?

1 Answer from Attorneys
Joseph Justice The Justice Law Firm
In some cases (for example a theft from a retail store like walmart) the company sends a letter threatening action if a fine is not paid. This is totally different than the fees imposed by the court. If you paid the company directly the money paid does not have an impact on your criminal case (where the state is considered the aggrieved party). In general your court ordered fines must be paid to the clerk of court.

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.
Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.
Life should be great rather than long.
Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.
I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.
Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.
A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.
So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.

"With MatchUp, its B2B recommendation engine, AboutOurWork will identify opportunities among those 97 percent of U.S.-based small businesses - wedding planners with wedding photographers, web designers with web developers, and more... automagically,"
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) February 27, 2013
Today, AboutOurWork, a web-based small business connection network, introduces its proprietary B2B recommendation engine, MatchUp™, making the process of discovering new business opportunities easier than ever.
AboutOurWork, often described as the "eHarmony for small businesses," identifies and automates B2B introductions for the small business community. Small business owners can create a free company profile at http://www.aboutourwork.com, and MatchUp will intelligently recommend potential business connections for them, using key data points from the profile.
"Even with the advent of social networking, the major networks and business directories have failed to contribute to the small business community in a meaningful way, particularly businesses focused on B2B relationships," said David Hunegnaw, co-founder and chief executive officer, AboutOurWork. "Even though serendipitous business-to-business opportunities abound online, many of the existing channels provide more noise than signal to the business owner."
Over 97 percent of all businesses in the U.S. are considered small businesses, with fewer than 10 employees. "With MatchUp, AboutOurWork will identify opportunities among those 97 percent of U.S.-based small businesses - wedding planners with wedding photographers, web designers with web developers, and more... automagically," Hunegnaw continued.
"In today's fast paced business environment, it can be difficult for entrepreneurs to get too far away from the core activities of their business," said Michael Bowers, director, Ohio Small Business Development Center. "With minimal time for networking, how do they find the right partners and people to work with that will allow them to succeed? AboutOurWork.com is helping solve that problem through their 'MatchUp' system of facilitating business connections on the web. This online network building is a revolutionary step forward for small business owners looking to strengthen their organizations and expand their reach in the market."
About AboutOurWork
AboutOurWork, based in Columbus, Ohio and led by central Ohio serial entrepreneurs David Hunegnaw and Brooke Paul, is on a mission to connect small businesses, redefining how they network and connect with each other to accelerate their success.

I'm not really one for surprises, but occasionally it's nice to be surprised by a book that you're pretty sure you won't like. This usually happens to me when the characters, writing style and story transcend the elements of the book that don't appeal to me. A few examples:
I have a soft spot in my heart for precocious protagonists—adolescent characters wise beyond their years, sometimes living in difficult circumstances, who can be both hilarious and heartbreaking. When I was a child I loved Harriet the Spy and I'm still delighted by smart-alecky kids—in literature, not in real-life!
Like writer Sarah Vowell and perhaps Bill O'Reilly, I am fascinated by presidential assassinations. Perhaps it is the mere thought that the leader of the Free World is no safer than anyone else. The library shelves are full of tomes on the deaths of Lincoln and Kennedy, but can you name one book on the death of William McKinley, our 25th president? I suggest Scott Miller's
On Saturday, August 2, Oklahoma lost one of its most beloved authors, Billie Letts.
While public perceptions are changing, there are no doubt still plenty of folks out there who think of spinsters with buns and orthopedic shoes when they hear the word librarian. In some ways I fit the stereotype; I'm a middle-aged woman who likes books and cats, I wear glasses, and I like to create order out of chaos. But in other ways I like to defy the stereotype. I'm not a spinster, I sometimes wear sexy shoes, and I love rock 'n' roll.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Kevin Van Trump has over 20 years of experience in the grain and livestock industry.
Like I have been saying, and most are in agreement, the USDA must have simply underestimated last year's crop. Many in the trade continue to talk about how corn ending stocks could jump from 632 million to over 950 million bushels by the time all of the smoke clears and dust settles. My guess is there will be 250-350 million fewer bushels of corn used for feed; fewer bushels of US corn exported; and certainly more corn imported (rumors of 8-10 Argentine cargoes already purchased). Net result...much higher old-crop ending stock number coming down the pipe. I should point out, it is not just old-crop supplies that are growing, but you now have to believe new-crop ending stocks could be push closer to 2.0 to 2.5 billion bushels. We should quickly learn more in the upcoming April 10th USDA crop report, my suggestion, "hold onto your hat," we are still in extremely rough waters.
For the rest of the story including more insight into what traders believe are influencing market prices currently, sign-up here to receive a RISK-FREE 30-Day trial of my daily Grain and Livestock commentary.

• Take a walk on the wildside in the Amazon. Wildlife lovers should not skip this.
• Spot some of Peru's 3,000 varieties of potato at the markets, including Pisac's market in the Sacred Valley.
• Take a boat trip around Lake Titicaca and visit the Uros and Taquile Islands to see some of the traditional ways of life in Peru.
• You don't need to hike the Inca Trail to enjoy Machu Picchu. The views from within the site are stunning, and you can climb Huayna Picchu for more picture-postcard, bird's-eye views.

Nevers glass figure, any of the ornamental glassware made in Nevers, Fr., from the late 16th century through the early 19th. Only a few inches high, they have been mistaken for fine porcelain but were made of glass rods and tubes and were often made on a wire armature. The subjects are religious, mythological, historical, allegorical, or anecdotal. Nevers glass owes its origins, like Nevers faience, to an influx of Italian workers in the 16th century, notably to the Sarode family. The first known French glassworkers in Nevers were Jean Prestereau (1595) and his son Léon. Allegedly, Louis XIII, as a child, played with toy glass animals from Nevers. Similar glass objects were made elsewhere in France; and often it is difficult to distinguish Nevers wares, though the figures are, like Nevers faience, generally dull yellow, white, red, or blue.

One of Noël Coward's most successful comedies. Set in the early 1950s, Relative Values is about the uproarious culture clash between the glittering world of Hollywood and the stiff upper lip of the English aristocracy.
There is consternation at Marshwood House when the young Earl announces he is to marry a Hollywood film actress...but the family is well and truly flummoxed when it comes to light that the starlet's sister is none other than Moxie, the Earl's mother's maid. In an attempt to cope with this deeply embarrassing situation, Moxie is dressed up in her ladyship's cast-offs as the aristocratic family endeavours to pass her off as one of their own.

Andre Villas-Boas sends Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor to train with the youth team
Emmanuel Adebayor's reputation has been on a slippery downwards slide since leaving Arsenal all those years ago.
The now Tottenham striker is currently in Togo with AVB citing personal reasons, and will return to London on Monday.
However, the 3rd choice striker has been informed that he won't be joining up with the senior squad upon his return.
Instead, he'll train with the youth team until Villas-Boas thinks it's 'appropriate'.
A rather large blow to his hopes of first team football this season.

Addressing the bridge concerns
Dear Editor
This letter is in response to Jerry Strubinger's letter in the June 30th edition of The Time News.
In his letter he basically says that it is a horrible idea to have the upcoming bridge project in Jim Thorpe proceed as planned. Let me address his concerns individually.
1 - "The possibility of a traffic back-up on the hill going up to the liberties." While its possible that on a few weekends per year you could see a traffic back-up on that hill, the fact is that traffic on that road is extremely light compared to routes 209 and 903. Where the bridge is currently located it presents traffic back-up problems for the much more heavily traveled roads. I'm sure anyone who regularly drives through our town has experienced trying to make a right hand turn to get to the east side and not being able to get to the turn lane due to the back -up. Its also gets backed up into the downtown area when truck traffic comes through, which has the side effect of deterring people from stopping at one of the local businesses and thereby costing the local community tax revenue.
2 - "Replacing the bridge in the exact same spot." This creates a traffic disaster during the period the bridge would first be torn down and then rebuilt. How many people on either side of town want to cross town by driving through Franklin Township every day? It's just not logistically smart, plus it would basically be imposing a fee on borough residents since they would be forced to drive many miles out of the way. I would think that you as a Jim Thorpe School Board member would have thought this through and realized how much of a fuel increase, and thereby a tax increase this type of plan would impose on residents.
3 - "A deadly situation on the liberties hill". How about a deadly situation on the bottom of North Street? Surely you remember that a home was destroyed at the bottom of North Street due to the sharp turn at the bottom. Plus, driving through there on a daily basis shows me just how badly we need that road straightened. How many times do tourists stop in the middle of that turn and cause a truly dangerous situation? Besides that, people live on Front Street and it is a hazardous situation each and every time someone crosses that street due to the blind curves on both ends.
4 - Railroad improvements. This is mind boggling to me. I would expect that someone who has served in an elected position for as long as you have would understand the process by which funds are allocated for projects. You cannot take money that was earmarked for a bridge 10 years ago (Thank you Mr McCall) and all of the sudden move some of it to a railroad project. That is not reality. Besides, why would you want to hand a private company money that is marked for improving public transportation. If this is how you have been doing school district budgets, then I think that it's time that we had an independent audit done.
I would ask you first to think before you speak. Secondly if that is how you are doing things on the Jim Thorpe School Board, to resign.
Thoughtfully yours,
Don Wilson
Jim Thorpe

Legal Services Of The Hudson Valley And The Legal Aid Society Of Rockland County To Receive State Grant
State Senator Thomas Morahan announced today that Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and the Legal Aid Society of Rockland County have been awarded $145,725, aggregately, through the RFP process instituted by the New York State Office of Court Administration. The award is part of $3 million of new funding secured in 2007 for civil legal services.
Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, a non-profit agency providing civil legal assistance to low-income individuals and families, contracts with the Legal Aid Society of Rockland County to provide these services to Rockland County families.
"The infusion of state funding will have a beneficial impact on those who cannot otherwise obtain representation in civil legal matters. I vigorously support programs that ensure community access to legal counsel; that foster an environment in which every person is treated with dignity, equality, and fairness," said Senator Morahan.

When I asked Tabitha Cobb and Charles Drinks to explain why young people shouldn't give up on graduating from high school, they rarely talked about "I."
They talked about you, we, us and our.
"We're the future," Tabitha, who is a junior at Stanton College Preparatory School, told me. "If we don't have degrees or an education, we won't be able to get jobs … that won't be good for anyone."
"Our generation, we have to care about each other," said Charles, who is a sophomore at William Raines High School. "The Bible teaches us to care about each other's success in life … you don't want to walk down the street and see someone who is having a hard time because they didn't finish school."
Recently, Tabitha and Charles offered their suggestions on how to help more of their peers finish high school and in effect forgo a destructive act that will invariably make their adult lives harder than whatever troubles they're experiencing that is causing them to want to quit school.
They appeared with three other students — Matthew Iglesias, a junior at Bishop Kenny High School, James Snee, a senior at Terry Parker High School, and Mercedes Trapp, a sophomore at Florida State College at Jacksonville — on a youth panel during the recent GradNation education summit.
The summit, one of 100 held around the country, is co-sponsored by America's Promise Alliance and is aimed at raising the nation's high school graduation rate to 90 percent.
Right now it's 80 percent. In Jacksonville, that rate is 72 percent, which is an improvement over previous years but still below the state average of 75 percent.
But the students on the panel tried to show everyone that even as the future is upon them, certain forces of the present might be causing some students to jeopardize that future and what could be done to deal with those forces.
Mercedes said her mentors talked to her in terms of "we," as in "we're going to do this," helped her to feel that someone empathized with her struggles.
Tabitha said she believed that giving students more chances to improve academically — even after they've failed more than a few times — would make many of them more hopeful about their chances of succeeding in school.
And Charles said that anti-bullying efforts should be stepped up and that more understanding should be directed toward African-American males as they struggle to get an education amid the negativity and pressures they often face.
"More security at the schools might be a solution for some of the bullying because that can be frustrating to a lot of kids," he said.
"As for the black males, a lot of them are raised by their mothers, and I think by them not having a male example in the house they have to make up their own definitions of what a man should be … the gangs and the rappers give them that [definition]."
What would Charles say to a young man thinking about joining a gang?
"I would tell him to think about his future and how it will affect him," he said. "There's so much competition out there, and we have to be prepared."
But first, we have to get them through high school. And maybe youths like the ones on the GradNation panel can help give them that generational push to show them how a high school diploma or a GED is a key step that can lead to possibilities.
For them, us, we and our.

Two Union men drug- and alcohol-related charges after one stole a bottle of liquor and the second was in possession of marijuana. Union police responded to Mobile on the Run Friday, Nov. 23, after 6 a.m. after the clerk reported that a man took a bottle of Jagermeister and concealed it in his clothes.
The suspect and a second man, both 18, then left the store.
The following day, police responded to the same store at 4:34 a.m. after the teens returned.
The suspect who took the bottle was "very intoxicated," police said. He was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The man also was in possession of a digital scale with drug residue on it.
A passenger, who was passed out in the vehicle, was awoken. He was in possession of a bag of marijuana, a marijuana pipe and alcohol, police said.
The passenger also had a checkbook stolen from a vehicle in the Strawberry Fields subdivision in his backpack.
A rifle also was stolen from the same vehicle. The suspect denied that he stole the checkbook or the rifle, police said.
Union police still are investigating the theft of the weapon.

The extensive developments in microelectronics over recent decades have triggered a digital revolution with computers as the driving force. While we still think of a computer as a desktop or a laptop, digital computing and digital signal processing have become vital for many of the products in our everyday life such as cars, mobile phones, tablets, cameras, household appliances, etc. more. The Electrical and Computer Engineering program focuses on the areas of communications, digital signal processing and control, including the enabling digital processing elements and their programming.
Electrical and Computer Engineering
BSc undergraduate program
Program Structure and Content
Year 1
Take 3 CHOICE Modules, at least one free selection
Introduction to Electrical Engineering
The module comprises the classical introduction to Electrical Engineering (EE) in general. Starting from the basics of the electric phenomenon, its fundamental elements (charge, current, potential, energy, etc.), its interaction with materials (conductivity, capacitance, inductance etc.) and its manipulation by man-made structures (electronic components and circuits), the course then develops into a wide set of general principles, laws and analytical tools to understand electric circuits and electric systems in general. The module also offers a solid foundation on which specialization areas in EE (e.g. Communications, Control, etc.) are built.
Year 2
Take 3 CORE Modules, at least 2 from study program
The module comprises the essential contents of digital communications. Starting from first steps to understand
modulation and demodulation procedures with and without noise, students will learn the basics for modern wireless communications starting from wireless channel properties to wireless transmission and system aspects. Additionally, the information theoretic foundation is provided that determines the possibilities and methods for error analysis, data compression, communications, and encryption.
Electronics and Noise
The module offers a solid background in electromagnetic theory, circuit analysis & design and the theory of noise. To this end, the concepts of electric and magnetic fields are introduced, followed by Maxwell's equations in vacuum and matter, and a discussion of how these lead to lumped element models on the one hand and field-based descriptions on the other. The design course (lecture+ lab) treats a variety of combinations of linear and non-linear circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers, logic gates, and flip-flops) from a modular design perspective (supplies, amplifiers, switches, triggers, registers, counters and timers). Noise as a ubiquitous challenge, in particular to mobile technology, is presented based on a focused introduction to probabilities, random variables, their distribution functions leading to a discussion of random voltages and rules for their treatment in electrical circuits.
Signal Processing
The Signal Processing module covers Signals & Systems and Digital Signal Processing together with their corresponding labs, which summarizes knowledge standard for all EE / ECE programs worldwide plus some additional introduction into digital communications as a possible DSP application. The module comprises in depth treatment of all linear transforms, such as Fourier series, Fourier transform, Laplace and z-transforms (one- and two-sided), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and its fast counterpart FFT. Furthermore, digital filters are discussed in detail and methods that are essential for speech, audio, and video processing, such as subband coding, linear prediction, Discrete Cosine Transform to name just a few.
In the digital communications part, the description and components of baseband, single-carrier, and multicarrier transmission are described, including matched filter, whitening filter, and equalizer structures.
Labs will provide practical aspects starting from simple signal processing tasks, up to programing a signal processor, including computer architectural aspects.

Catherine Murphy pays close attention to the mundane and unobtrusive; her extraordinary, hauntingly beautiful paintings are of things seen on the quick, in a glimpse: a child's plastic wading pool, a red brick chimney, a wide, black belt cinching the waist of a woman in a striped dress, the view through a screen porch window of the lush woods beyond. All are rendered painstakingly, and with great precision, as if by virtue of a stare that never seems to end.
There's a deep sense of quiet in Murphy's paintings, of breath both held and released. She fuses her realism with geometric rigor and painterly sensuality; it's not that she moves from realism to abstraction but that she's found a space between the two. As you spend time with a painting -- staring, say, at the child's wading pool -- your eyes adjust, and the space begins to open up. You look at the painting up close, then you move back. You see oddly angled, vertiginous spaces. Variegated light and color sneak up on you.
Time is the key to appreciating Murphy. She obsessively devotes several years to a single painting, working on the canvas for only a few hours each day as light permits; her art is as much a form of behavior as a product of craft. She expects her viewers to take their time as well. In a quick-take era, she demands that you pause and pay attention. You contemplate every autumn leaf, every pine needle, trash bag and roof shingle, and each rewards you. Simultaneously, you feel the sudden reality of a specific place and you appreciate the painting, distinct from its subject. You are conscious of the painting as a space filled with forms, of Murphy constantly locating herself -- and you -- within a grid, a place where the traditions of art connect with life.
This particular show combines circular and rectangular shapes with intricately lyrical textures. For My Shadow, On Stucco the artist freezes a moment of light and shadow on a blood-orange ground. On closer inspection, the illusory stucco becomes an incredibly complex terrain of whirling eddies and shifting crosscurrents formed by deliberate, minuscule strokes.
Cinched Waist hearkens to '50s nostalgia (think Brigitte Bardot or Fiestaware) while setting up a subtle interplay of nature, culture and the feminine. To either side of the cropped hips are triangular patches of forest. Moreover, skittering staccato dabs of paint coalesce and dissipate across the horizontal bands of the dress. The right side is hit squarely by early-morning (or late-afternoon) sun and fairly shimmers with yellow-golds, dark tans and iridescent blues. The surface of Cinched Waist may seem cold, even impenetrable. But as an unending entanglement of dab, stroke and line, the painting delivers a ravishment of sensations, a feeling of infinite density.
The power of Murphy's paintings resides in the absence of a bravura style. She doesn't show us the trappings of a settled, happy life or make sentimental paeans to the landscape. Rather, her paintings are about seeing and the responsibility one brings to the act. Porch Screen is a fastidiously detailed study of light and shadow. Formally austere, it's divided into quadrants by a thick, green window frame. Sunlight splinters through the screen and distant firs, revealing translucent layers of green, pink, lavender and cream. Scattered across the picture plane are leaves, varying light-green and brown daubs against the increasingly dense verdure of the background. The effect is sumptuous and absorbing.
As the eye lingers, individual marks detach themselves from the picture's surface. Light along the sides of the trunks becomes merely linear skeins of white; the plush tangle of leaves becomes dabs of green. Some of those dabs seem to twist at odd angles to the overall flow; others remain as brushy, gestural shapes on a flattened ground or push forward, defying their roles as signifiers of depth. But none of this seductive play of the paint robs the work of its representational vigor. At any moment, a dab of paint can snap back to being light on the side of a leaf or a receding depth in the woods.

In the painting of a child's wading pool, leaping dolphins embossed in the cheap plastic mold form a yin-yang sign, while yellow-orange leaves that have fallen across the blue basin indicate a change of seasons. In Helium Balloon, a round mylar balloon floats in the corner of a blue-walled room. At the balloon's center is a ballerina in a pink tutu; pink silhouettes of more ballerinas line up behind her.
Even more steeped in everyday obscurity is Trash Bags, in which two bundled bags are placed in pristine, luminous snow. Murphy paints the dark black-green bag in the foreground with rhythmical, seemingly effortless graphic virtuosity, evocative of Ingres, spinning lines across the canvas. Nature is visible here, albeit in hiding.
All the paintings maintain a kind of cool, iconic presence. They are emblematic of a quieter pace, a slower ravishment that seduces us with craft, wit and poetry. These are hard-won paintings, clear indications of Murphy's discipline and formal intelligence. With this group, she insists that paintings can be magical places where virtually anything is possible.
Paintings by Catherine Murphy will be on view through March 8 at Texas Gallery, 2012 Peden, (713)524-1593.

Fresh off a family outing to Coney Island on a 100 degree day, stopped at Hicksville Sweet Shop around 6pm on a Monday for ice cream. There were only two other tables occupied, but it took 10 minutes for the waitress to bring a menu, and 20 minutes more for 4 sundaes. 2 of which were not what was ordered.
Not the end of the world, but of the 6 flavors of ice cream tasted, 4 were icy.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
A check of the Register of Actions in Scott Kessler v. City of San Diego shows that last week, Plaintiff has filed the required Jury Fee Deposit for trial.
Kessler, a former city employee, alleges he was forced out of office (wrongful eviction) after Mayor Jerry Sanders discovered that Kessler had cooperated with FBI, San Diego Police, and federal Housing and Urban Development Inspector General investigations relating to business improvement district contracts and improperly-used community development block grant funds.
The Mayor has denied any involvement but lost a motion to prevent him from testifying at a case-related deposition.
See Don Bauder's SCAM DIEGO blog and CITY LIGHTS articles here at the Reader for more information on the Kessler v. San Diego lawsuit, including important background information.
Trial is set to start on October 15 and may provide an interesting context for any City Council's sales tax increase on the November ballot.

New Plan To Beef Up Drunk Driving Penalties
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Jay Inslee and a bipartisan group of lawmakers have unveiled a plan that would make changes to the state's impaired driving laws, including arrest on the first offense and mandatory jail time if offenders don't enroll in a sobriety program after a second arrest. The measure announced yesterday also would prohibit people from purchasing alcohol for 10 years after a third conviction for drunken driving. The legislation comes in the wake of two recent fatal accidents.

Joe Orton is one of the more fascinating figures in modern British theatre. His plays were as brilliant as his personal life was controversial, being an out homosexual in the mid-to-late-1960s. His plays, including "What the Butler Saw" and "Loot," still stand up as some of the best farce written in the 20th century.
The Stephen Frears-helmed 1987 film Prick Up Your Ears, based on John Lahr's biography of the same name, pays Orton loving tribute in a way that would make Orton himself proud – unflinchingly honestly.
Told using one of the most tired conventions of the bio-pic genre (the "story told in flashback through the eyes of the biographer/reporter/other investigator-type"), Prick Up Your Ears follows Orton (Gary Oldman, looking remarkably like a younger Dana Carvey) from university through his early struggles and his fame, along with his lover Kenneth Halliwell (Alfred Molina).
Every biographical film has to pick an aspect of its subject life, lest it turn into a documentary. There is no way to sum up someone's accomplishments in two hours, but as Robert McKee writes in "Story," the goal is to find the meaning of the subject's life, and then cast him as the protagonist of his life's genre." Prick Up Your Ears is a love-gone-wrong story between Orton and Halliwell, which is a wise move cinematically even though it leaves out a great deal of interesting information about Orton's work.
Oldman is fantastic as the sexually-obsessed Orton. What made the real-life Orton so successful was not just his talent, but also his charm. He was a boyish figure, one that looked like the son every mother would want – until, that is, until he would duck into a public restroom or pick up someone on the elevator. Oldman is not only perfectly cast for that at this time in his life, but also walks the line between charm and sex fiend beautifully.
Molina does well with Halliwell as well, though his character's desperation is hard to follow due to the film's out-of-sequence presentation. Credit also goes to Vanessa Redgrave and Wallace Shawn (best known, of course, as Vizzini in The Princess Bride) for holding together the well-worn biographer shell story together.
The major detraction to the film is the score, which at times is simply ridiculously out of adjustment with what is going on in the film. Whether that is a nod to Orton's farcical instincts or not, it is distracting.
The DVD
The film is available in anamorphic widescreen and pan and scan, one on either side of the disc. The widescreen version looks older than its age (17 years); colors are faded and it's very difficult to distinguish anything in some of the film's darkest scenes. The pan and scan version is, well, pan and scan.
The dialogue is easily understood on the disc's 2.0 track. The score is problematic at times, quickly starting and stopping, but that may have less to do with the transfer than with the score itself (see the above review).
There's a trailer and English, Spanish and French subtitles. Any DVD release focusing on a historical figure, especially not well known to mainstream (read: non-theater-going) America, that gives no supplementary information on said figure is woefully lacking.
Final Thoughts:
Prick Up Your Ears is a quick-hit DVD release, the type studios give to films just to brag about their large catalog of titles on the market. That's a shame, as this is a mostly well-done film about not just a famous playwright, but also an interesting relationship at an interesting time. The film itself is worth seeing enough to push the disc into the recommended category.

President George W Bush disappointed millions of Zimbabweans yesterday when he said America would defer to South Africa's quiet diplomacy on changing the behaviour of President Robert Mugabe's regime.
Having stoked up expectations in recent weeks with statements from Washington calling for Mr Mugabe to stand down, Mr Bush gave way to the more cautious, non-confrontational approach of President Thabo Mbeki.
During a joint press conference in the gardens of the South African presidential lodge in Pretoria, Mr Bush said Mr Mbeki was "the point man" driving international policy on Zimbabwe.
"He is the one who is most involved," said Mr Bush in South Africa as part of a five-nation African tour. "He believes he's making good progress. I don't have any intention of second-guessing his tactics. We want the same outcome."
But crushing any idea that American policy had changed, Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, indicated in an interview with the BBC that the softly, softly approach towards Mr Mbeki's handling of the Zimbabwe crisis was taken to prevent a row overshadowing the stop-off in Pretoria on Mr Bush's Africa tour.
Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change was left fuming by Mr Bush's comments, as America has been the standard bearer of international efforts to bring pressure on Mr Mugabe. But Mr Powell reiterated that America's hardline policy towards Mr Mugabe's regime had not changed.
Last month Mr Powell called for a change of regime and branded Mr Mugabe "ruthless and violent".
The recent increase in America's anti-Mugabe rhetoric was the result of diplomatic pressure from London for Washington, which is harder to accuse of neo-colonialism, to tackle the Zimbabwe issue.
Controversy has dogged Mr Mbeki's policy of failing to condemn publicly Mr Mugabe's abuse of the rule of law, murder of political opponents, harassment of independent judges and electoral skulduggery.
He claimed his policy was making progress as it had led to direct negotiations between Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF and the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
"We have urged the government and the opposition to get together. They are indeed discussing all issues. That process is going on," Mr Mbeki said.
But this was immediately denied by Morgan Tsvangirai, the MDC leader, whose willingness to take part in secret negotiations with the Mugabe regime has been sorely tested by his repeated arrest and detention on treason charges.
"Statements claiming that there is dialogue going on are patently false and mischievous," Mr Tsvangirai said. "Such statements are manifestly partisan, designed to buy time for the beleaguered, illegitimate Mugabe regime and ward off potential genuine brokers.
"Since the aborted talks between the MDC and Zanu-PF in April 2002, there has been absolutely no political engagement between the two political parties.
"The Mugabe regime has remained intractable and sustained an arrogant and defiant programme of violence, torture, murder, rape and all manner of crimes against humanity."
Mr Bush and Mr Mbeki used their press conference to paper over their disagreements over the war in Iraq. They did not refer to it, preferring to dwell on bilateral economic treaties and the promise made by Mr Bush to donate up to £9 billion to Africa to help fight the Aids pandemic.
Mr Bush praised South Africa's attempt to encourage regional stability across Africa by deploying its first peacekeepers to two countries, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, although peace is still a long way off in both countries.
The resentment of Mr Mbeki's government towards America for sidelining the United Nations over the war in Iraq remains strong.
Outside Pretoria's Union Buildings, where Mr Mbeki formally greeted Mr Bush, about 1,000 demonstrators protested against the presidential visit. Marchers included hippies, anti-war pacifists, Leftists and anarchists. "Go away, we've got enough Bushes in Africa," read one placard.

No one seemed to bristle at all last week when the Washington Redskins' DeAngelo Hall told reporters that he would target Tony Romo's injured ribs in the teams' week three matchup Monday night. Members of the Cowboys and the media alike seemed to dismiss the comments, and Hall's stated intentions, as "part of the game."
But not everyone shrugged the comments off. Former Buccaneers and Raiders' defensive lineman Warren Sapp, somewhat ironically nicknamed "The QB Killa," took issue with Hall's statement. In his new gig as an NFL Network analyst, Sapp called the comment "way out of line," adding that Hall has more pressing concerns than aggravating Romo's midsection.
"And even more than that, DeAngelo Hall, last time I remember, you're not one of the most feared hitters in this game, so you should be asking for a safety over the top with the burn rate you have, giving up the third-most touchdowns in the NFL," Sapp said, via the Dallas Morning News. "There are a couple things you need to do other than worry about Tony Romo's ribs."
