The Town of Matthews has implemented a new downtown parking plan. The new regulations include designating several parking areas as 2 hour parking, 30 minute parking and 24 hour parking. Signage detailing the new rules is now up and is easy to read.
"We hope that the new signage and marking of the spaces will make it easier for people to understand where and for how long they can park in our downtown area," said Town Manager Hazen Blodgett. The plan is the result of meetings with downtown business owners on how to better improve parking in the downtown area. "With several new businesses in the downtown area and Wingate University's increased student enrollment we want to ensure that people who are visiting our downtown understand where our short-term and long-term parking is located," he added.
The plan primarily concerns parking in and around Matthews Station Street. The area around the Village Green in front of the Matthews Town Hall and Library facility is now two hour parking. Parking behind Beantown Tavern and Wingate University is 24 hour parking on Old Depot Lane. Ample 24 hour parking is also available in a lot off Trade Street along the railroad tracks. The new parking plan offers a variety of convenient parking options for people who may be in the downtown area for 30 minutes or several hours.
In addition to the new signage a map detailing downtown parking options is available online at www.matthewsnc.com.

NUMB :: sing; plur.The feature expressing the number can take on two values: sing or plur.
RULE noun phrase (NUMB): noun part (NUMB). # EX the previous president RULE noun phrase (plur): noun part (NUMB1), coordinator, noun phrase (NUMB2). # EX the president and his wifeThese two rules express that a noun phrase consists of one or more noun parts combined by coordinators. In the latter case it is always plural.
RULE noun part (NUMB): determiner (NUMB), noun group (NUMB); # EX the red bag noun group (NUMB). # EX software engineeringThis rule has a number of alternatives, separated by semicolons. The number of the determiner has to agree with that of the noun group.
RULE noun group (NUMB): noun (NUMB); # EX bag adjective, noun group (NUMB); # EX red bag noun group (NUMB1), noun (NUMB). # EX software engineeringObviously, the last rule is ambiguous for a noun phrase consisting of three or more nouns, like software engineering conference. Other sources of ambiguity are found in the attachment of preposition phrases (not described here) and in lexical ambiguities (e.g. time as noun and verb). AGFL provides a number of mechanisms (penalties, lexical frequencies, syntactic probabilities) to help in finding the most probable analysis (rather than the set of all analyses).

Television highlights abound in 2012
As 2012 is ending, here are my picks for some of the highlights of the year's television season:
Most consistently crowd-pleasing drama:
AMC's "The Walking Dead": Can't miss series whether you're a zombie fan or a fan of outstandingly delivered television production, from the writing to the acting. Each episode this past fall in particular has been edge-of-your-seat viewing.
Best sophomore season series:
Showtime's "Homeland": Didn't know how the excellent first season could be topped, but it was. The romance between Brody (Damian Lewis) and Carrie (Claire Danes) came together in an unexpected and appealing way and added an extra reason to enjoy this taut drama centered on terrorism and the battle against it.
Blockbuster miniseries:
History's "Hatfields & McCoys": This ratings record-breaking miniseries featured Emmy-winning performances by Kevin Costner and Tom Berenger as well as an overall solid performance by a cast that included Biil Paxton, Mare Winningham, Powers Boothe, Matt Barr and Lindsay Pulsipher. "Hatfields & McCoys" proved the miniseries is still a viable vehicle for television.
Best new crime procedural with a twist:
CBS's "Elementary": Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are a pure delight to watch in this modern take on Sherlock Holmes in New York City. This show is clever, humorous and intriguing.
Best midseason finale:
ABC's "Nashville": A surprise move by young country star Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) made this midseason finale of a great new show about the Nashville music world stand out.
Best season finale:
Showtime's "Homeland": Jaw-dropping ending to a superb sophomore season that leaves viewers anxiously anticipating next season – just what you want in a finale.
Most romantic night on television:
Thursdays on The CW with "The Vampire Diaries" and "Beauty and the Beast":
"The Vampire Diaries'" love triangle between Stefan (Paul Wesley), Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) took on a new dimension with the Damon-Elena sire bond angle, and the chemistry between Vincent (Jay Ryan) and Cat (Kristin Kreuk) is really beginning to simmer on "Beauty and the Beast."
Best sci-fi dramas with heart:
TNT's "Falling Skies": Noah Wyle is a big part of what makes this show a winner as he plays Tom Mason, the wise father of three sons and a leader in the resistance against an alien invasion on Earth. Steven Spielberg serves as an executive producer for this series, which always demonstrates the importance of family. "Falling Skies" picked up the pace in its second season this past summer and features excellent special effects. Connor Jessup is also a standout as Tom's middle son, Ben.
Fox's "Fringe": This series has as much love for humans and their relationships as it does for science fiction, and it excels at combining both elements into an overall fascinating drama. Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson have been magnificent in their lead roles as Fringe team members Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop, and John Noble has made his character, eccentric scientist Walter Bishop, one of my all-time favorites on television. I'm betting the last three episodes of this show, which ends Jan. 18, will be amazing.
Best action series with brains:
Cinemax's "Strike Back": Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester do virtually all of their own stunts in this gritty, intelligent series that spans the globe in the war on terrorism.
Best spy drama:
USA Network's "Covert Affairs": Piper Perabo is captivating in her role as CIA operative Annie Walker in this adventurous, exciting drama. Christopher Gorham shines as a former CIA operative who was blinded during a mission with Army Special Forces in Iraq and is now head of tech ops within the Domestic Protection Division – and an ally of Annie's. And, after this past season's finale, their relationship looks to be headed in the romantic direction – finally!
Best new comedy series without boundaries:
HBO's "Girls": This show created by Lena Dunham centering on four girls in their early 20s in New York City is frank and funny. Dunham and her costars, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet and the predicaments they find themselves in are just compelling to watch.
Best resurgence of a long-running drama:
Showtime's "Dexter": As a longtime fan, I was displeased with last season's finale in which Miami Metro Lt. Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) discovered her brother and co-worker Dexter's serial-killing ways – and thought she had romantic feelings for her (adopted) brother. But this season the show has redeemed itself with stellar writing and acting performances by Hall and Carpenter – and a disturbing season finale.
Most consistently funny comedy:
ABC's "Modern Family": Still can't watch this show without laughing out loud. All-star relatable ensemble comedy cast and superior comedy writing – need I say more?
Best singing competition series:
NBC's "The Voice": Blind auditions continue to make "The Voice" the most appealing singing competition reality series in my book (having Tishomingo resident Blake Shelton and Adam Levine as two of the coaches doesn't hurt either) and the third season featured phenomenal singers and an amazing live finale show.
Most addictive mystery drama:
ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars": This show continues to be unchanging in its ability to keep viewers guessing about who's behind the ever-elusive "A" and the conspiracy to terrorize teen friends Aria (Lucy Hale), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Emily (Shay Mitchell).
Each episode has been full of twists and turns and the series has constantly kept viewers wondering what's going to happen next – a fun treat for fans of mysteries with lots of teen drama involved.
Best comedy veteran return to TV:
Matthew Perry in NBC's "Go On": Perry excels at what he does best – sarcasm with a touch of sweetness – in this new show that manages to make a grief therapy group and each of its members humorous in a tasteful way.
Best no-nonsense take on the crime procedural:
A&E's "Longmire": Australian actor Robert Taylor portrays Walt Longmire, the straightforward sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, based on the Walt Longmire Mystery novels by Craig Johnson, in this new drama.
Taylor plays Longmire in a strong but slightly vulnerable way that is always engaging, and he has plenty of worthy backup in fellow cast members Lou Diamond Phillips, Katee Sackhoff, Cassidy Freeman and Bailey Chase.
Most addictive family drama:
ABC Family's "Switched at Birth": Centering on two teen girls who were accidentally switched at birth as newborns in the hospital, "Switched at Birth" continues to be consistently well-written and acted and features story lines relatable to teens and their families.
Lea Thompson, D.W. Moffett, Constance Marie, Katie Leclerc, Vanessa Marano, Lucas Grabeel and Sean Berdy headline the solid cast, with Leclerc as hearing impaired teen Daphne and Marano as her switched at birth associate Bay, and deaf actor Berdy delivering standout performances.
And these highlights are just the tip of the iceberg – there's lot of good programs out there and there's something for everyone.
Here's to 2013 and another stellar year of quality TV!

UN official urges emerging economies to support Palestinian refugees
|UN News Service

|UN News Service, UN official urges emerging economies to support Palestinian refugees, 9 March 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4f6082f32.html [accessed 30 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
"We hope that other countries will step to the plate, share the burden of this important effort which is important to the stability of the region and beyond," said the Commissioner General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Filippo Grandi, in his appeal, which included a particular focus on the group often referred to as the BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
UNRWA provides assistance, protection and advocacy for nearly five million registered Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the occupied Palestinian territory. The agency is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN member states, and in January it launched an emergency appeal for just over $300 million.
At a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York, Mr. Grandi said some of those countries, notably Brazil and India, area already "stepping up to the plate" with contributions to UNRWA.
"We wanted to specifically send a message to the BRICS countries, those countries that are emerging on the international scene as new economic and political powers," he said, adding that Arab States are also chipping in, with Saudi Arabia emerging as the third-largest donor to UNRWA last year.
Mr. Grandi said the Israeli blockade of Gaza had caused an economic depression, noting that the economy there could no longer be sustained as it was in the past by a vibrant private sector that used to export into Israel and the West Bank.
"Those two markets continue to be barred and prohibited because of the blockade, something that we have encouraged our Israeli interlocutors to lift, not because UNRWA is directly involved in that particular aspect of the situation, but because the poverty that follows from the blockade generates humanitarian needs that we then have to support or meet with increasingly difficult resources to obtain," said Mr. Grandi.
He noted that the 2010 easing of the blockade had allowed the implementation of some of UNRWA's reconstruction projects.
"Unfortunately since the middle of last year no more projects of UNRWA have been approved for implementation," Mr. Grandi said. "We hope, and we have said this may times to our Israeli interlocutors, that situation of no approval will be soon be overcome and we will be able to again receive positive responses to our requests to build schools and build houses because these are the two key projects that need to be carried out in Gaza by UNRWA."
In regard to Lebanon, Mr. Grandi called for the implementation of legislative measures passed a year and half ago by its parliament to expand the right to work for the Palestinian refugees.
"They not yet been implemented partly because of the successive political transitions in Lebanon that have somehow slowed down the action of government, but we believe, and I have said so the Prime Minister whom I met just a few days ago, that we believe that the time has come to implement those measures," he said.
On the situation in Syria, Mr. Grandi reiterated a call by other UN officials for access for aid workers to reach those in need of assistance there, including Palestinian beneficiaries of UNRWA services in that country.

I have a few libraries I use in my project that are unsigned. Because my application is strongly signed, the libraries must be as well.
I sign these libraries using:
"%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\ildasm.exe" /nobar /all /out=library.il library.dll
"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ilasm.exe" /dll /key=MyKey.snk library.il
The problem is that any metadata, such as version numbers, get lost in the now-signed DLL. This is a problem because now some dependencies between the libraries are broken. How do I retain the version numbers without resorting to actually compiling the source code of those libraries?
It's actually a particular DLL that shows this problem and I've found out that is built using ILMerge. Perhaps this is causing the problem. Just to be clear: the DLL that is produced by ILMerge does have the proper metadata, only after disassembling and reassembling it, the metadata disappears.
I opened the DLL in Reflector and it appears that at least the version number is still there. I was checking using the file properties dialog/details tab in Windows Explorer all the time. So I figure it is the manifest that is missing instead.

Cellulite: why it really happens
Sure, we all have it, but what exactly is it? Cellulite is subcutaneous fat in the skin's second layer that protrudes to the surface, producing a puckered texture. The severity of cellulite comes down to how fat is packaged in the septae (fibrous threads that bind fat cells together). "In men, fat cells are smaller and tighter, so they're unable to penetrate the skin's surface.
In women, however, fat is packaged loosely and their cells are a different shape—protrusion of their fatty tissue makes them more prone to cellulite," says Dr Phillip Artemi, from the Australasian College of Dermatologists. Cellulite can stem from genetics (if your mum or sisters have it, chances are you'll have it too), rapid weight gain or a high-carb diet "which raises insulin levels and promotes the formation of fat," explains dermatologist Dr Cathy Reid. It worsens with age, "although we don't really know why fatty deposits increase as women get older," says dermatologist Dr Stephen Shumack. Pregnancy can also be a factor, he adds: "Women gain weight around their abdomen, hips and thighs, which makes cellulite more obvious. Although it's difficult to eliminate completely, you can diminish the appearance of subcutaneous fat—exercise and a good diet certainly help."
The food and fitness link
Yes, what you eat can help! Tone skin by tucking into plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, protein, carbs (such as wholegrains or legumes) and cut alcohol intake. "There's no one food that increases cellulite," says nutritionist Dr Joanna McMillan. "It's down to genetics, how much fat you have and the connective tissue or the dimpled look of the area. Eating fresh foods and exercising to reduce your body fat levels can improve the shape of your body and the appearance of cellulite."
Make sure you include lots of foods that are rich in vitamin C (think broccoli, blackcurrants, guava, citrus and kiwi fruits) in your diet, as research from the Journal of the American College of Nutrition revealed it can help you blast up to 30% more fat during exercise!
High-tech treatments that target cellulite
PRODUCT: HYPOXI Hypoxidermology and Hypoxi L250 machine
Tester: Beauty editor, Aimée Leabon
How it works: I've always been naturally slim, but I wish my hips, butt and thighs were smaller and more toned. The Hypoxidermology (HD) and L250 machines are used in conjunction to promote weight loss, reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone and texture, all top of my list in the lead-up to summer.
The experience: I'm zipped into the HD suit, which contains a network of 400 integrated pressure chambers around the stomach, hip, buttock and thigh region. The air is sucked out, which feels strange at first, but I'm told the machine boosts circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage so I relax and soon I'm in a state of bliss. After my 20-minute 'massage', I'm transferred to the L250—a reclining bike encased in an airtight capsule that uses vacuum technology to increase circulation and blood flow, accelerating fat burn and the breakdown of cellulite. After 30 minutes, I'm just breaking into a sweat.
The verdict: It's a huge commitment—three times a week for four weeks. You're encouraged to exercise on your 'off' days, too. But the results were well worth it.
Cost: The HD and L250 are $690 each, for 12 sessions. Visit hypoxi.com.au to find your nearest HYPOXI studio.
PRODUCT: Pevonia Botanica Green Coffee Wrap
Tester: Editor, Jacqueline Mooney
How it works: Like most women, I tend to carry any extra weight around the hips and thighs, and having a few less dimples has long been on my wishlist. Pevonia's Green Coffee Wrap is a multi-step treatment designed to detoxify, refine and smooth. It works in two stages, causing an immediate reduction in measurements due to a diuretic effect and a progressive stimulation of lyposis (fat breakdown). I'm used to drinking coffee, rather than wearing it, but I'm told the 19 minerals, 17 amino acids and three vitamins in green coffee will do wonders for my skin.
The experience: First, I'm treated to an all-over body scrub to get rid of dead skin cells and boost circulation. Next, anti-cellulite gel is massaged in. And yes, it was cold! Finally, my lower half is covered in crushed green coffee (which smells pleasantly earthy), then wrapped in plastic and layers of blankets. After 20 minutes it's washed off and a moisturising massage is applied.
The verdict: While a minimum of six treatments is recommended to see the full effects, my skin definitely looked better and felt smoother after one session.
Cost: Treatment starts from $120 per session. Visit pevonia.com.au to find your nearest Pevonia salon.
PRODUCT: VelaSmooth
Tester: Editor-in-chief, Sue Wheeler
How it works: I've loved my lower half so much over the last few years that a pair of thigh-hiding board shorts have become my beach look of choice! VelaSmooth is the first non-invasive medical solution for the reduction of cellulite to be cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration. The Body Applicator is a vacuum with special rollers that manipulate, suck and smooth skin, while infra-red light and conducted radio frequency trigger the release of stored energy and shrink the fat chamber. It also improves lymphatic drainage.
The experience: A photo is taken of my legs so that I can compare 'before' and 'after'. I lay on a bed and they roll the applicator over my thighs. It feels like someone's giving me a good iron. I'd been warned it could be uncomfortable, but it wasn't at all. There was an occasional prickle, but it was actually quite relaxing.
The verdict: I didn't expect to see a difference after the first treatment, but I did. My thighs looked smoother: the larger lumps looked smaller, which made the cellulite less noticeable. After four weeks my legs were significantly smoother and felt harder and firmer to touch.
Cost: A course of 8 treatments (two per week) for one area is around $1250. Visit velasmooth.com.au for more details. Sue was treated at The Clear Skin Clinic, Sydney.

First, you're going to rip the broccoli into delicate little florets. It's a pretty word, "floret". It makes one expect to see a tiny squirrel running through it. You could probably name your daughter Floret if you wanted her to grow up to be weird.
I will have to remember that word the next time I am forced to play Scrabble. Here is what ripping broccoli to florets looks like:
Put all the florets in the bowl. When you're finished you can just pretend the stem is somebody you don't like and throw it furiously into the trash can. And spit on it if you want.
Then pour two tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the florets. Mix them together.
Since we are on the topic, I would like to discuss that olive oil that you see there in the wine bottle shaped container. I paid $50 for that olive oil.
How did that happen? Well, I had never bought olive oil before.
I mean, I'd used it, but I had a bottle lying around that came in a gift bag ages ago, so I'd just been working my way through it. It ran out and – this is not the real America – there's an olive oil store in Grand Central station so I figured I would just pick some up there.
The woman asked me what flavors I wanted in my olive oil which should have been a sign. The fact that there were no prices on anything should also have been a sign. I said I wanted my olive oil "sweet" (I'm worried that this is like someone being asked if they want a dry martini and replying 'no, I'd like it wet, like a liquid should be,' but I will probably never know). She stared at me for a second and then fetched me this one and had me sample it.
It was fine. It tasted like olive oil.
"I will take this one!" I said, "how much is it?"
And I did wonder for a bit if that was normal. My thought process went something like this:
"Well, I suppose everyone does say that using olive oil makes you live well into the Methuselah range, and they do serve it in lieu of butter at nice restaurants, which means it must be a luxury ingredient, and it is from the Mediterranean which is truly a culinary fairy-land and perhaps things from there are somehow difficult to transport what with Onassis being dead, and it does last for a long time, and yes, yes, I guess $50 is what olive oil costs. That makes sense."
Then, after I bought it, I went to a grocery store.
That does not make sense.
Olive oil costs $8 at a grocery store. Jesus Christ.
This is going to be my only PSA of the day: DO NOT PAY $50 FOR OLIVE OIL. IT ONLY COSTS $8.

Friday afternoon NBC Montana obtained video and audio interviews between Jordan Linn Graham and investigators.
It is a first look at what happened in the days after her husband Cody Lee Johnson's death.
After four days of trial, Graham pleaded guilty to second degree murder and the U.S. Government agreed to drop two other charges of first degree murder and lying to authorities.
Graham admitted to pushing Johnson off a cliff in Glacier National Park in July. But the recordings show she wasn't initially honest to police.
Tell me "what you know about last time you talked to your husband, what's going on as far as where he might have gone or who he might be with," asked Sgt. Chad Zimmerman with the Kalispell Police Department. Click here to view the full interview.
"I got a message saying he was going to go for a ride with some of his out of town buddies who are visiting, and they're from Washington, so my guess is Spokane or Seattle," Graham answered in an interview at the police station on July 9, just two days after Johnson was reported missing.
Then the next day on July 10, Graham told the same story to Detective Cory Clarke and Melissa Smith.
"So he walked out, made a call, or something," Graham said. "I don't know if he made a call he was in the garage then I got a text saying he was gone and then he left."
In that same interview on July 10, Graham brought up an email from someone named "Tony" telling her Johnson was dead and to call off the cops.
"Seems kind of sketchy," said Detective Clarke.
That concerning message was later traced back to a computer at Graham's parents' home in Kalispell; Graham sent it to herself.
Later in the interview Graham cries, her mother who was temporarily in the room comforted here.
"I just want to go," Graham said.
Finally before Graham left the interview room she turned over her phone to be searched and was read her Miranda Rights.
It wasn't until after Johnson's body was recovered on July 11, that the FBI interviewed Graham. July 16, Agent Stacey Smiedala got Graham to confess. Click here or here for the full interview.
"He went to grab my arm, and my jacket and I said no, I'm not going to let this happen this time, I'm going to defend myself," Graham said. "So I kind of let go and I pushed and he went over, and then I took off…"

Imminent Departure
Imminent Departure — If you need a passport on short notice
If you need a passport within the next two weeks, e.g. because you have an emergency situation, your application will require a personal appearance by appointment during our morning opening hours (8:30 to 11:30 am).
If you are stranded in transit without a valid passport, need to travel within the next few days, no appointment is necessary but you can only visit during our morning opening hours (8:30 to 11:30 am). You will find more information on what constitutes an emergency further down this page.
Please bring the following with you:
- Proof of your emergency, e.g. hospital correspondence, doctor's statement, or other.
- Either the DS-82 passport application form (if you have an undamaged, full validity, 10 year passport issued within the last 15 years) OR a DS-11 passport application form (for all others) – see also our section on Passports for Minors for additional requirements for children;
- Your old passport – click here if your passport was lost or stolen;
- One U.S. format (2"x2" /5Cm.x5Cm.) color photo. Dutch format photos cannot be processed! See our photo specifications pages;
- The appropriate Passport Services fee must be paid in cash, euro or dollars, or by credit card. PIN payments cannot be processed.
Is it an emergency?
All full-validity passports are now printed in the United States, except in a few special and limited situations. Here are some guidelines as to what constitutes a true emergency:
If your passport is lost or stolen, if you received a Red-Cross message (military) or have a family or medical emergency, you may qualify for an emergency print passport.
If you realized too late that your passport has expired, has run out of empty pages for visas, or is not valid long enough for travel to certain countries, we will not be able to accommodate your request for an emergency passport. However, we can process new, full-validity passports in 7-10 days from your application appointment. We can call or e-mail you when it arrives, so you can pick it up right away.
Processing time
We are able to issue full validity replacement passports within seven to ten days. U.S. full validity passports are printed in the United States.
In case of an emergency you may apply for an emergency limited-validity (three months) passport, which cannot be extended. Same day issuance is available if you can demonstrate and document your emergency to the satisfaction of the consular officer.
Our ability to issue passports on the day of the application can be affected by a number of factors, and can only be considered on a case-by-case basis in response to a verifiable emergency.
Do I Need an Appointment?
Short Notice Passport
Pictures are important
On Emergency Passports
Two consecutive emergency passports cannot be issued. If you are issued with an emergency passport, your next application must be for a full-validity passport, which will be printed in the U.S. and will take approximately 7 to 10 working days.

Research Summary
I am presently working on the use of narrative in the forensic psychiatry context, particularly as it applies to the "performance" of the forensic specialist—both in written and in oral forms. The second project focuses on clarifying how the forensic psychiatrist can perform the necessary roles while maintaining eyes on parameters that are rooted in solid narrative ethics. The robust ethics base is especially important when the forensic performance is at risk for undue influence from socio-cultural factors.

Tamaqua man, wanted for decade, caught by police
POTTSVILLE - After 11 years, Schuylkill County detectives last week caught a Tamaqua man who did not appear in court for a probation revocation hearing in two cases.
Christopher S. Gerlek, 39, had been wanted since May 29, 2002, when Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin issued a bench warrant when he failed to appear for a hearing the day before.
"He was missing for about 11 years," Assistant District Attorney Robert M. Reedy said at Friday's hearing after Gerlek surrendered to county detectives.
Judge Jacqueline L. Russell set Gerlek's total unsecured bail at $2,000.
"I've been trying to be good," a weeping Gerlek told Russell. "I never even knew it until two days ago. I want this done. I didn't do this on purpose."
Gerlek said he had been in Tamaqua most of the last 11 years, although he did spend some time in Stroudsburg. He said he has had no legal trouble for those 11 years and is disabled.
"I've been sober for over 12 years," Gerlek said.
However, Chief County Detective Dennis Clark said after Friday's hearing that Gerlek did nothing about his cases for years.
"He was aware ... of the charges," Clark said. "We don't know where he was."
Clark also said Gerlek did not turn himself in until after detectives had started to look for him.
"We received a tip on our tip line," he said.
Reedy said the district attorney's office would determine before the end of the month whether to continue proceeding against Gerlek.
Gerlek originally pleaded guilty on Dec. 27, 2000, to corruption of minors and selling or furnishing liquor to minors in one case and corruption of minors in the second. Dolbin accepted Gerlek's plea and sentenced him to serve 23 months on probation and pay costs.
Charges in both cases were filed n July 2000.

Barton's O.C. deathMischa Barton is being killed off in 'The O.C.'
The brunette star's troubled character, Marissa Cooper, will reportedly exit the hit US teen drama after taking a drug overdose.
A source revealed: "Mischa is definitely going. She hasn't been happy for a while and producers think its best she leaves. It is the perfect end to the current series."
News of Mischa's departure comes in the wake of reports suggesting she was trying to get fired from the show by pulling a host of sickies.
The 20-year-old actress had allegedly become worried about the show's spiralling ratings and was concerned about being typecast as a teen brat.
In the last few months Mischa has frequently called in sick or arrived late on set to the displeasure of her bosses, according to US reports.

Buy A Home, Get A Car Free
What if you could by a house and get a free car, would you? Maybe not, but what if that car was a Lamborghini, then would you?
According to our friends at Top Speed, owners of penthouses in Damac Maison, The Dubai Mall Street, in Dubai are giving away free a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster if you by one of their penthouses. It's part of a promotion for the 2014 Dubai Festival.
The Lamborghini is priced at around $445,300, so how much is the home for them to give one of these jewels away. They start at $2 million.
The penthouses for sale are part of the first service hotel apartment project in Damac Maison. The project was designed by German architects Koschany & Zimmer. Also, other properties for sale by the company will offer either a BMW or a Mini Cooper free with purchase, depending on the size of home.
If you have the money to shell out for the penthouse, then getting the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is a sweet deal.
The Roadster is an open-top all-wheel-drive sports car with a 6.5-L V-12 engine rated at 700 hp and 509 lb-ft of torque that's matched with an ISR seven-speed gearbox. It can sprint from 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.0 seconds and has a top speed of 217 mph. The Roadster will also offer a cylinder deactivation system to keep CO2 emissions down and improve fuel mileage.
The roof is made entirely out of carbon fiber and comes in two pieces weighing only 13 pounds each. They can be removed and easily stored in the front luggage compartment. The redesigned rear pillars functions are for supporting the roof, has an automatic protection system for the passengers and provides extra ventilation for the engine.
The engine bonnet has a central column with two pairs of hexagon windows at the sides. This helps to cool the engine better, along with better drainage for rain water and gives a view of the engine. The body can be ordered in a variety of colors including an all-new light metallic blue similar to the 1968 Miura Roadster.
A new set of Dione wheels made of forged aluminum are 20 inch on the front and 21 inch on the rear.
The interior will feature two LCD screens: one for the instruments and one for the stereo and navigation system. It will also feature a special leather called "Sabbia Nefertem."
Standard equipment includes ABS with electronic brake distribution, anti-slip control, speed-dependent servo-tronic steering, hill start assist and ESP stability control. It also features a Driver Select System for the engine (transmission, differential, stability control and steering) that can be set in three modes: road, sport and track.
If you're in the market of buying a home in Dubai, why not purchase one in the Dubai Mall Street and get a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster as a bonus. But if you just want the Lamborghini, it will set you back the $445,300 in the US, plus an additional $3,700 gas guzzler tax.

BOSTON (AP) -- The FBI has released photos of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings and is asking for the public's help in identifying them.
FBI Agent Richard DesLauriers says one of the suspects is believed to have planted a device outside a restaurant near the finish line of the race. He says both suspects are considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Within moments of the FBI releasing the images on its website, the agency's website crashed.
The explosions Monday killed three people and injured more than 180.
The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the victims, including an 8-year-old boy.

Restaurant employees at Old Town face layoffs
New concessionaire aims to shut out union
Fernando Robles isn't too concerned about economic ideology these days. All he wants is to keep his job.
But the 50-year-old bartender at Old Town State Park's Casa de Reyes restaurant is one of about 150 employees – most of them union workers – who have been given pink slips as a new company prepares to take over the park's largest concession.
The company, Old Town Family Hospitality, is taking on the money-losing contract from New York-based Delaware North, and as part of its financial turnaround plan, it wants to shut out the union that represents employees at two of the concession's three restaurants.
Under federal law, if Old Town Family retains more than 50 percent of the union employees formerly employed by Delaware North, the union, whose latest labor contract expired in August, remains in place.
So everyone has been laid off, and no one knows how many, if any, of about 130 union employees will be rehired. The other 20 employees, nonunion managers and retail workers at various shops, were also given layoff notices and invited to reapply.
"A lot of people with experience have been working here for years," said Robles, who has been a bartender at the park since 2005. "I just want to work and support my family. In this economy, it will be tough to find another job. We need to find a solution."
Delaware North last month told its employees that they will be terminated March 7, the day before the Old Town Family is expected to assume operations of the Plaza del Pasado's dozen shops, as well as three restaurants within the park.
The new contract holder has invited all 150 employees to reapply for their jobs, but with no guarantees. And it has made it clear that many won't be rehired because the company doesn't want to inherit the union.
Chula Vista restaurateur Chuck Ross, who controls Old Town Family, acknowledged that the mass firing is a "sensitive issue" but said it is a matter of dollars and cents.
To keep the union in place will cost his company an additional $3 an hour per employee, he estimates.
"Our intention is to start over as nonunion, with a new staff for the new business we are opening," Ross said. "With the economics of this deal, and the troubles this operation has had, it's not financially feasible to keep this as it is."
The union organized at Old Town in July 2005, and the first labor contract went into effect in August 2007, said Daniel Rottenstreich, a spokesman for Unite Here Local 30, which represents the 130 union employees.
Among other things, the union at that time negotiated free or low-cost health care benefits through three different plan offerings.
Rottenstreich predicts that much of the savings that Old Town Family hopes to realize will be "by taking away or radically increasing the cost of health care for workers and their families."
Rottenstreich said the union, whose members have picketed Old Town over the issue and plan future picket actions, hopes to persuade Ross to retain the current work force.
"Clearly the new operator's intention is to cut labor costs as much as possible," Rottenstreich said. "We welcome a new company that wants to make Old Town successful and profitable, but it's unacceptable that the profit comes on the back of workers."
There has been little talk of profitability since Delaware North won the concession contract in 2005. At the time, Delaware North pledged to spend $12 million on renovations and pay a minimum of $2 million annually or a percentage of its gross income, whichever was greater, to the state.

Unfriendly fire
International | For the Christians of Beit Jalla, patience with both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict ran out long ago
When Israeli tanks rolled into Beit Jalla Aug. 28, soldiers took up a command post above the town on Mt. Gilo. From there they could see at once the predominantly Arab Christian town and the Jewish settlement of Gilo they were trying to protect. The promontory was symbolic high ground for Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), who have battled Palestinian gunmen in the area since the latest intifada began last October. This time they showed up in force to wipe out the opposition once and for all.
Beit Jalla is also a kind of ground zero for understanding, or at least attempting to understand, this almost 1-year-old cycle of conflict. For the town's historically Arab Christian community, polarized by the two forces, Israelis and Palestinian Authority, neither political leadership represents its interests.
But for two days, the longest single incursion in the 11-month intifada, the two sides battled over Beit Jalla. The IDF replied to Palestinian gunfire with tanks, rockets, and bulldozers. Their attack killed a Palestinian policeman and wounded at least seven others. Dozens of homes were bulldozed or set ablaze by IDF mortar rounds. But in the end, the Israeli government caved to international pressure, chiefly from the United States, and removed both troops and weaponry.
The Bush administration reprimanded Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for using "excessive force." U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell took two days from a vacation to negotiate a truce between Mr. Sharon and Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat, whom he persuaded to order an end to sniper attacks in exchange for the Israeli withdrawal.
For a town of 15,000 living in the shadow of both nearby Bethlehem and Jerusalem less than 10 miles away, Beit Jalla figures heavily in the ongoing conflict. It is located just inside the West Bank, where encroaching Jewish settlements have fueled Palestinian resentment. Last October Muslim gunmen set up their artillery in Christian neighborhoods to target Gilo and other Jewish enclaves south of Jerusalem. Those attacks coincided with Mr. Arafat's demand for Arab control of Jerusalem. Fighters targeted the gunfire and occasional rocket launches to draw the Jewish settlement into the conflict. Residents say the Palestinians sometimes fired only into the air just to get the attention of Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian gunmen confined their shooting to the city center until two weeks ago, when the sudden presence of IDF troops drew fire from all parts of town. "What had previously been a nightly occurrence and fairly predictable became all day and night with no predictability," said one Christian resident. Although he has lived with his family in Beit Jalla for two years and is accustomed to speaking freely about the conflict, he now asks not to have his name used because of the increasing danger. "We understand the Israelis' need for security but feel the response to gunfire on Gilo has been extreme and disproportionate," he said.
Residents say that when the tanks arrived, they drew sniper fire from every area as gunmen took up posts in both abandoned and occupied buildings. Longtime residents with no allegiance to either side were caught in the crossfire. Israeli rocket launches destroyed many homes. As both children and parents remained indoors, gunfire grew louder and closer. Fear and isolation for the Christians only increased.
"We give our lives, you give your homes," the Muslim fighters told Christians. Some residents believe their tactics are designed to lure Christians to fight as much as to taunt the IDF. Palestinian Christians frustrate Palestinian Muslims by not joining "the struggle." The Palestinian fighters also believe that if the IDF fired on churches or nearby Christian "holy sites," it would move Western sympathy their way.
For Christians, who make up 75 percent of Beit Jalla, patience with both sides in this conflict ran out a long time ago. They fear the Muslims want to take over Beit Jalla, but they fault the Israeli government for longstanding treatment of Palestinians as second-class citizens. The government subjects Beit Jalla, like other West Bank towns, to border closings and curfews. The collective punishment means the Christian community, which is not implicated in any of the violence, suffers with everyone else. Residents say barriers have not kept suicide bombers from reaching their targets, while they have prevented the nonterrorist majority from earning a living.
The intifada is economically devastating. Many Arab Christians have been without jobs and paychecks for 10 months. Tourism is flat, even though foreigners may move freely where Palestinians may not. Enrollment at Christian schools, including Bethlehem Bible College in downtown Beit Jalla, is down by more than 25 percent. Although Bethlehem plans to reopen this month, its graduation ceremonies were disrupted last spring and its campus is near a Palestinian refugee camp where fighting continues.
Until the fighting, the Bible college was a success story amid the Arab Christians' many struggles. Founded by local Arabs, both enrollment and facilities for the 22-year-old institution have grown steadily. Students are all Arab-Palestinian and all courses are taught in Arabic. But the school has become a casualty of the battles going on around it. Artillery exchanges in April shattered 67 windows on campus and damaged the school's central electrical system, an outdoor mural, and rooftop water tanks. In what witnesses described as unprovoked fire, an Israeli artillery shell hit female teacher Samia Ata while she unlocked her car door. She received serious shrapnel wounds.
Drawing fire into Christian areas, the Arab Christians say, has been the idea of Hamas and Islamic Jihad more than of Mr. Arafat. "It's more to Arafat's advantage, and he understands that, to have more Christians here," said the Christian resident. "These [radical Islamic] groups are a greater threat to his political stability than is the Christian community."
But the longer fighting drags on, the more clearly it is self-defeating for the Palestinians involved. If they wanted to make a statement about Israeli oppression, destroying the neighborhood has been a poor way to go about it.
The overwhelming use of force by Israel can also backfire. One Jewish resident in Gilo showed a Reuters reporter her washing machine, its top melted by hot shrapnel from Israeli tank fire (even as the laundry continued to churn inside).
As protection from both enemy and friendly fire, the government over the last month has bulletproofed at least one room in each of Gilo's apartment buildings. All the rooms, fitted with bulletproof windows, allow some protection from sniper fire now. But residents aren't as grateful as expected. "All we are asking for is a return to a normal life," said apartment dweller Yaffe Levy. "We don't want to live in a prison, in bulletproof rooms. We want to get our lives back again."

The Softer side of Mike's
Mike wants to remind all of us,
October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.
1 in 8 women will be affected
Why Pink Lemonade?
Pink Lemonade is a natural extension for the Mike's Franchise. It is an iconic, all-American beverage favorite; Mike's is a populist American icon that makes great tasting, refreshing hard lemonades.
(Aug thru Oct)
Why partner with the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation?
At Mike's, we've got a reputation for
being hard. But that doesn't mean
that we don't have a soft side, too.
To help mark our 12th anniversary and
in memory of Jacqueline S., a part of the
Mike's family since we were founded, and a really great woman who left us way too soon, we will be making a
contribution to the
Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
(Breast Cancer Research Foundation)
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is an independent 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers
worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health.
The BCRF has received exceptional recognition from several organizations that monitor and provide comprehensive, unbiased information on charities. In 2009, the Foundation has received the highest rating from Charity Navigator,
four stars, for the eighth consecutive year,
which means BCRF has outperformed 99.8% of more than 5,400 evaluated charities in efficiently managing its finances.
In addition, the American
Institute of Philanthropy has re-evaluated BCRF's" A" rating since 2002,
and awarded BCRF an "A+" rating.
This is the highest possible rating by AIP. BCRF is recognized by AIP as one of the "Top Rated"cancer organizations, and is the only breast cancer organization to appear on its"Top Rated Charities".

Codger: JB said that HE can not get it to work, so they started to listen to the Ducati guys at Haydens side, and found a better direction. Now the Carbon frame was not good but Ducati (with Phillip Morris Money) changed to what Rossi wanted (because he was payed to win) because Rossi and JB said we can not sort the Carbon frame, but if you put a Yaonda frame in there we can do wonders. Did they? Both Rossi and Hayden said it was the best so far, but did they improve no. Face it Ducati with Marlboro money tried everything they could to please Rossi which was no particular direction just change of frame parts and hoping it would work, because JB and Rossi said it would.
What I am saying is that they can work in a direction they want, which mean that the whole Garage including Pramac (because they did not have the frames as Rossi and Hayden) can work together, that is 4 bikes with info Not 1 Rossi 1 Hayden with 2 different directions. This is why Honda and Yamaha is fast to develo

Bunny Daugherty was a legend without question, and her legacy continues to live on.
Concluding my look at some of the local pioneers of football I take a closer look at the roster of the former NFL team, the Louisville Brecks
Today I continue my look at those early Louisville pioneers of football in this multi-parter (I'm pretty sure that's a word) sports legend of the ville segment
When football was in its infancy the city of Louisville had a large impact on the game. Here I look at some of those early local icons who were a part of the infant National Football League.
I'm already looking toward the Olympics, and as such have turned my attention to a local standout at the last "summer games."
Cyclocross has been gaining more attention in area sports, and this is set only to increase with one of the sport's biggest events making its way to Louisville.
Greg Page is yet another important chapter in the saga of area athletics, a boxing champ and so much more Page proved his work ethic and integrity inside and outside of the ring.
Bubba Paris is today known as a motivational speaker and football legend based out of California, but his story starts here in the Derby City.
Fred Pfeffer is a legacy in the baseball community, as such I thought it'd only make sense to take some time to look into this Louisville native.
Donta Smith is currently playing basketball around the world, lending his talents to teams both nationally and internationally but before all that he was a standout at Oldham County high school.
Ruddell Stitch has cultivated a true hero's legacy- and while he is known as a great boxer inside the ring he's probably even more so known as a great man outside it.
D.J. Johnson established himself as an athlete and a broadcaster but it all started in his hometown.

The Queen's Flower
That is, Strelitzia reginae, discovered in South Africa in the reign of George III, and named for Charlotte von Mecklenburg-Strelitz, then queen of England. The Real World Consultant grew two or three strelitzias from seed about eight years ago, and very kindly gave me one. It is finally about to flower, and the suspense is killing. In the course of eight years, what has developed is two upright fans of leaves, one beside the other. The leaves resemble those of a banana, to which the plant is related, with long, stiff stems and paddle-like ends, and standing about four feet tall. Quite handsome in their way, and with at least the merit of looking thoroughly exotic in darkest Aberdeenshire, but unexciting. However, in the course of April, the plant slowly put out another leaf which, as it developed, began to look less and less leaflike. For the six weeks, the end of this has been gradually declaring itself to be a future flower, acquiring the shape of a peacock�s head, and declining on the stem to an angle which makes it look remarkably like a bird in inquiring mood. Today it is sunny, and the �beak� has begun to open at last. What will happen from now on is the gradual development of a splendid purple head with a an elaborate crest like a bird of paradise in orange and metallic blue. Or at least, that�s what is says in the book. I hope to find out. I�ve seen strelitzia flowers on sale in places like the achingly posh flower shop in Neal Street, where for (I suspect) something like a tenner a stem, you could find out for yourself. But it�s the waiting eight years that makes it really special.

I asked in another question why arraylist seemed faster than linkedlist when reading a file and to create the lists. I've now tried adding to the front of the list or the back of the list. Arraylist was still faster.
i just want to make sure i'm using these things right. here's what i'm doing:
public class LinkedListTest {
private List<String> Names;
public LinkedListTest(){
Names = new LinkedList<String>();
Then I just using linkedlist methods ie "Names.add(strings)". And when I tested arraylists, it's nearly identical:
public class ArrayListTest {
private List<String> Names;
public ArrayListTest(){
Names = new ArrayList<String>();
Am I doing it right? In fact, changing the list type in the constructor method from ArrayList to LinkedList was pretty much the ONLY change I made in the code when comparing the speeds. Is that the right way to go about it?
EDIT: Oh, and I just do System.currentTimeMillis() before and after the add function to measure time.

More than 25% of homes in county worth less than mortgage balance
New data comparisons track severity of housing bust
"I don't have buyer's remorse. I'm completely happy with my purchase," Wright said. "I came into this knowing absolutely nothing about home buying, and everybody's coming up to me with questions, and I feel good to have the answer that's right."
Of course, the question on every nervous homeowner, buyer and seller's mind is what's in store for the rest of the year.
At Seattle-based Zillow.com, a Web site that estimates the values of individual homes, spokeswoman Jill Simmons said site traffic was up 30 percent from December to January and 61 percent year over year.
San Diegans' interest was up 20 percent from December and 79 percent over January 2008 levels. She said the increases are much higher than the normal seasonal fluctuations.
"One of the theories is that there is tremendous interest among buyers who want to look what's on the market, what's it selling for, where are the best bargains," she said.
Zillow previously looked at declines in home values and found homeowners nationwide lost $3.3 trillion in value last year and a cumulative $6.1 trillion since prices peaked in 2006. For San Diego, the company estimated home value losses at $70 billion last year.
A study released this week by Moody's Economy.com predicts prices will bottom out nationally and in San Diego by the fourth quarter, six months later than it projected last year.
"This report is more pessimistic than the previous two reports," said Andres Carbacho-Burgos, a Moody's economist and co-author of the report.
San Diego, having entered the downturn earlier than most regions, stands poised to recover sooner, he added, thanks to its strong biotech industry and relatively vibrant tourism market.
But he said the new stimulus package approved last night in Congress is unlikely to change that schedule for San Diego or any other metro area. He said some other areas, particularly in Florida, are not likely to hit bottom until sometime in 2011.
For San Diego, Moody's analyzed data from Standard & Poor's monthly Case-Shiller Home Price Index and concluded that prices here will fall to 50.5 percent below the all-time peak in late 2005.
DataQuick put the median home price in the county at $300,000 in December, down about 41 percent from the peak.
Frank Riley, San Diego field office director for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said he has detected a new sober-mindedness among would-be buyers.
"I think everyone with the American dream of homeownership is still certainly there," he said, "but I think it's different."
Buyers now know they have to save for a down payment, build up good credit and expect that appreciation will occur, but not overnight.
"It's good thinking because it stabilizes the market," Riley said. "Not everybody can afford to buy a home, and those people that can afford to buy a home should be qualified."

How to Make Your Own Glazing Medium for Oil Painting
Have more control over what goes into your paintings with this medium. The medium: dries in a moderate amount of time,contributes a moderate gloss to the paint film, sets up stiffly, when glazed thinly, allowing some degree of over painting while still wet, yellows less than linseed oil mediums
1Take a large jar and combine stand oil and mineral spirits(or turpentine), 40% and 60%, respectively, by volume. (using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, measure 4 parts stand, 6 parts spirits)
2Screw the lid on tightly and shake until combined.
3Add a small amount to the brush while painting, or mix directly with oil colors out of the tube.
Community Q&A
Answered QuestionsAdd New Question
Ask a Question
- Add additional mineral spirits to the medium when painting the under layers so that the top layers of your painting are higher in oil content than the under layers.
- 10% damar varnish may be added for a higher gloss and faster drying, but only to mediums containing turpentine as damar varnish in not completely soluble in mineral spirits.
- Turpentine and Mineral Spirits are toxic. Avoid skin contact, and use this medium only in a well ventilated studio.

Agency Punishes Bus Line That Stranded Riders In Caroline
A federal agency has shut down a bus line that stranded dozens of passengers last month in Caroline County. 53 passengers became upset when some replacement buses did not show up until the following night. They were left to fend for themselves at a bus stop on Interstate 95 halfway between Richmond and Fredericksburg. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says All Nations Coach is basically the same New York-based company it closed down last year because of safety violations.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
Twospotted spider mite eggs are laid on the undersides of leaves and are spherical, clear, and colorless when laid but become pearly white as hatch approaches. Nymphs, adult males, and reproductive adult females are oval shaped and generally yellow or greenish in color. There are one or more dark spots on each side of their bodies, and the top of the abdomen is free of spots. Adult female twospotted spider mites may cease to reproduce during the coldest winter months in production areas of colder inland valleys. Diapause is indicated by a change in color to bright orange.
Carmine spider mite, a close relative of the twospotted spider mite, is bright red in color. It is commonly found at low densities in southern California and San Joaquin Valley growing regions. Populations usually decline as temperatures warm in spring.
Spider mites can cause leaves to yellow and eventually die and drop from the plant. Loss of leaf surface reduces energy available to maturing fruit. Entire plants in heavily infested areas of the field may be defoliated. These mites also produce webbing on plants where they feed. Damage frequently occurs in 'hot spots' such as areas of the field near dusty roads.
Monitor fields weekly from June through August. Look for plants with yellowish leaves or defoliated plants. Examine plant leaves for webbing, especially on older leaves in the middle of the plant with symptoms. For spring-planted fields that are pruned in early July, treat after pruning for better coverage.
