CLARK—The Township of Clark is planning on holding another Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) Program in the fall, if there is sufficient interested. The township has previously conducted four classes for the general public and one class for various teachers and administrators in the Clark Public School System with good attendance in all the classes.
The CERT concept dates back to 1985, when the Los Angeles Fire Department recognized that in the early stages of a major disaster local emergency responders could be overwhelmed, and basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills could improve the ability of community members to help themselves until responders or other assistance arrived. This program, which now exists in every state, is promoted by the Federal Government through the Citizens Corp. program and the NJ State Police Office of Emergency Management. New Jersey presently ranks among the top states in the Country based on the number of CERT programs within each state.
This program is a 24-hour training program that provides information on a variety of topics. Participants will receive training in such areas as: CERT team organization and Incident Command System, identifying hazards most likely to affect their homes or community and general disaster preparedness, basic fire knowledge, basic first aid training, light search & rescue, and terrorism. This program is not intended to train people to be first responders for fire or first aid purposes, but it is designed to train people to be better able to help themselves and their families, to possibly help their neighbors, and, if they choose, to help their community by assisting the various township emergency services in a major emergency situation.
CERT members that volunteer to help on a community level during an emergency situation could be used for a number of things including: staffing of emergency operations centers or shelters, providing food and supplies to the police department, fire department or first aid squad personnel, providing assistance or transportation to people who may have to evacuate their homes, or delivering pumps and/or generators to other residents in time of flooding or power outages.
Anyone interested in participating in this program should contact the Office of Emergency Management at 732-388-3600 Ext. 3007. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Those poor dudes of 1971. Imagine them rushing home from work to eagerly unwrap the live woman who's trapped in the USPS package only to be surprised with a sad plastic blob thing. Your heart just breaks for them!
These ads from 1971 really drive home the fact that sex dolls are different than most sex toys — they're stand-ins for real women. They have names like Judy, come with wigs and nighties, and are "life-like in every detail." Speaking of, that Judy is a real trouper: "She'll follow you anywhere, even into the pool, tub, or shower. She's not scared of water. Judy's not scared of anything."
Later, Judy gets into the fact that she's "not modest," and so isn't shy about telling you how "beautiful she is." Finally, a woman who gets it, am I right??

"Vitiligo Results" - Vera B
01 Dec 2017
Since June this year I use Boost and Five a Day. I started using it because I have vitiligo and had read some very good reviews. I think it's fantastic to mention that I have great results! For 24 years I have vitiligo and I have tried a lot to get rid of it but without results. I am so happy and excited that I finally found something that really works! I really want to share my story on the internet.

I purchased this product for my son who has vitiligo spots on a quarter of his body. He is only 8 but we started taking it a year ago. We have been going very slow with the 5 a day and the boost but over the course of a year he has repigmentation on several of his white spots and it is still continuing. I don't usually post but think this might be helpful to others with vitiligo. He also takes a vitamin d and b supplement. This is working and we couldn't be more thrilled!!!
"Thrilled" - Carol
27 Apr 2012
I've had vitiligo (the condition Michael Jackson famously suffered from which causes you to lose pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin) ever since I was a small girl. Only people who have had this condition really understand how devastating it is and how totally it undermines one's confidence and self-image. There is no known cure and, because it is not a life-threatening disease, very little research goes into finding an effective treatment and most doctors simply tell patients to "go away and live with it". The progression of the condition tends to continue over time and rarely improves on its own. Having read about the ingredients in Boost, I thought it was worth trying to see if it would stimulate the melanin in my skin. Nothing had ever worked for me before, so I was staggered when – within a matter of weeks – new pigment started to appear in the white patches. The pigment started as freckles and these have gradually joined up to produce almost normal coloured skin. To say I'm thrilled is an understatement that only another vitiligo sufferer would appreciate I also take Xenca Five a Day + because research suggests that people with vitiligo need higher doses of antioxidants in their diet.

One of the biggest risks to Apple's stock price and profit growth, ironically, stems from one of the company's most amazing strengths:
Its shockingly high profit margin.
Profit margins for hardware companies are normally in the single-digits, because hardware is generally a brutally competitive business. The big profits, meanwhile, have gone to the software providers--like Microsoft--which have low cost-of-goods sold and can sell the same product to different hardware manufacturers.
By building integrated hardware and software devices, however--and achieving enormous scale and market share--Apple has turned this normal relationship on its head.
And with the mind-blowing success and profitability of its biggest product, the iPhone, Apple's profit margin has steadily increased--to the point that its margins now blow away those of most software companies.
Here's a chart from Y Charts showing the steady increase over the last couple of years through March of this year:
Those margin gains have helped Apple's stock price blast to $600 and beyond... because there's nothing the market likes more than a fast-growing company with expanding margins.
But all good things usually come to an end, and margin expansion has to stop--if not reverse--somewhere.
One of the big risks for Apple's future stock performance, therefore, is the threat that its profit margins will now either peak, or, worse, begin to decline.
And there are many reasons to think that that may happen sooner rather than later:
- Apple's profit margin has now hit an amazingly high level for a hardware company, and nothing goes up forever (especially profit margins). Apple's margin is now nearly 30%, after tax. This is nearly unthinkably high.
- The competition is getting much, much better. Apple is able to generate this profit margin because it usually has the highest prices and lowest unit costs in the industry. But the latest generation of phone from Samsung is arguably better than Apple's current iPhone (which may be part of the reason for Apple's weak iPhone sales this quarter) and Google's latest tablet, meanwhile, is getting rave reviews--and will sell for half the price of the low-price iPad.
- Apple's sales mix is shifting toward lower-priced products. One of the reasons for Apple's weak June-quarter results and low margin guidance for the September quarter is the mix of iPhone and iPad sales. Both products are seeing a higher percentage of unit sales coming from lower-priced versions than the state-of-the-art versions. This suggests that price will become more and more of an issue, especially with smartphones and tablets further penetrating the mass market and the competition rapidly improving.
- The next 1-billion smartphone and tablet buyers are going to be much more price-sensitive than the first 1-billion. There are now about 1 billion smartphones in the world, out of a total of about 6 billion cell phones. Smartphone growth, therefore, will continue apace--but the incremental buyers are likely to be much more price sensitive than the first generation. Why? Because they have a lot less money.
- The iPad is accounting for a bigger and bigger share of Apple's overall revenue--and iPad margins are lower than iPhone margins. The average selling price of the iPad also dropped sharply year over year, on account of the mix of lower-priced and higher-priced versions. Apple's iPad unit sales jumped 84% year over year, but revenue only rose 52%.
- Apple may be planning to roll out a new smaller table to compete with the Kindle and Google's Nexus 7, both of which are priced at $200. It seems highly unlikely that Apple will generate the same profit margin on this device than it does on the current iPad.
Put all of this and other important factors together, and we have just seen the first quarter in recent history in which Apple's profit margin declined year over year, albeit very modestly. (Given the shortfall in iPhone sales, it's actually remarkable that Apple's margin didn't decline even further).
Specifically, Apple's profit margin declined to 25% in the June quarter, versus the 25.5% posted last year.
There were also several seasonal and macro-economic factors that hurt the company this quarter--namely the upcoming product transition to the iPhone 5 and economic weakness in Europe. And the company's margin will likely leap again in the December quarter, after the iPhone 5 arrives.
But, overall, it seems as though big clouds are gathering with respect to the outlook for Apple's future profit margins. And that risk will continue to weigh on the stock price. Because as much as the market loves expanding margins, it loathes contracting ones.

South Korea's vibrant, resilient economy has earned it a rank among the so-called Asian tigers, although its export-driven industries have created volatility for its markets and economy as it has grown to global prominence over the last 40 years.
South Korea's status today is a far cry from where it was in the fall of 1997, when the Korea's currency — the won — sank against the dollar and the nation was at the door of the International Monetary Fund seeking a $57 billion loan.
But that financial crisis, which started in Asia but affected the global community, was a turning point. It exposed the weakness of Korea's financial systems and corporate structures. And government officials and corporate executives quickly learned from their mistakes.
This special report on investing in South Korea will look at the nation's economy today, and how a build-up in foreign exchange reserves, as well as a stronger financial system and fiscal spending, have left the country in better shape to withstand the current global turmoil.
That might not be evident in the Korean Composite Stock Market (Kospi), which has had a roller coaster ride of a year thanks to the global turmoil triggered by continuing debt problems in Europe and — of particular interest to Korea's exporters — a slowdown in China. But analysts generally expect the Kospi to recover before the end of the year, in part from policies in China to stimulate growth.
Investing in Korea can take some skill, however. The country has exposure to export-driven industries and large numbers of foreign investors and is dominated by large family-run conglomerates, all factors that lead to high volatility.
Most investors know Korea for its information technology companies and auto industries. But Korea's big exporters also include materials and industrial goods makers, as well as refiners and shipbuilders.
The nation also has an emerging class of stocks that are making inroads as exporters, including smaller companies that support the auto and information technology businesses, and consumer goods companies.
While these smaller companies may be raising their profiles, the country remains dominated by the chaebols, Korea's family-run, multi-national conglomerates. The chaebols include Korea's best-known brand names, such as Samsung , Hyundai , and LG Electronics. That's unlikely to change anytime soon, but the chaebols are under increasing pressure to become more transparent and accountable, and many already have.
One issue that adds a bit of volatility to South Korea — but not as much as investors might think — is the uncertainty posed by North Korea. The death of Kim Jong-il in December, and the ascension of his son, Kim Jong-un, has thrown North Korea into a new state of flux, and it remains unclear how this will affect its neighbor.
One of Kim Jong-un's first actions was the provocative launch of a satellite in April, an action many considered a cover for the nation's attempt to develop a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead. The launch ended in failure, however.
Despite clear threats and uncertainty posted by North Korea, Moody's Investors Service considers the relationship only a "moderate geopolitical risk" to South Korea, similar to those faced by Israel, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.
One reason is that North Korea hasn't launched an attack on South Korea since 1950 — and this is because they don't have the backing of Russia or China as they did then, says Tom Byrne, senior vice president at Moody's.
"North Korea would be on its own if it did such a provocative act," Byrne says. "We do recognize that the leadership transition ... has heightened uncertainty about North Korea's behavior, about regime behavior and longevity. "No one would be surprised if regime collapsed tomorrow," he says, but added: "We think these risks are contained."
The market largely takes these concerns in stride.
"History says whenever markets go down (because of) North Korea that proves to be a buying opportunity," says Seok Yun, head of research at Samsung Securities.

(Redirected from Teiglin)
The Taeglin was a river in Beleriand, a tributary of Sirion. It rose in the Ered Wethrin and flowed southeast through Brethil to join Sirion on the borders of Doriath. It had two minor tributaries: Celebros and Malduin.
The river could be forded at the Crossings of the Taeglin, near the western border of Brethil. A road ran through it from Nargothrond to Minas Tirith.
[edit] Etymology
The element taeg means "boundary".[1]
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In earlier writings, the river was called Teiglin. As revealed in the The History of Middle-earth series, the rivername should actually have been spelt Taeglin ("Boundary River").[1] This was a relatively late change which was not adopted into the published The Silmarillion, which uses the old name, as does The Children of Húrin.

WASHINGTON, July 11 (UPI) -- Many U.S. elite troops -- Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers -- who saw a good deal of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan are struggling at home, experts say.
A survey of special operations forces, with troops drawn from all four branches of the U.S. military, showed some are struggling with alcohol abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and emotional numbness, USA Today reported. One-in-4 admits sleeping 5 or fewer hours each night.
One-in-five commandos said if given the chance again, they would have married someone else or not at all, the survey said.
An executive summary of the survey -- conducted online late last year and involving 12,000 troops and spouses -- was provided to USA Today.
Between combat deployments and training trips overseas, special forces may spend eight or nine months each year away from their families and this hurts many marriages.
U.S. Navy Adm. William McRaven, who leads the nation's 66,000-member Special Operations Command, said his force has become "frayed" after more than a decade of war and it has taken a toll.
McRaven appointed Navy SEAL Capt. Thomas Chaby, to lead an effort to restore the force.
"'Frayed,' I don't think captures how dire some of the findings are," Chaby told USA Today.
Only 4 percent of these troops seek therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, alcohol abuse and other emotional issues -- potentially leaving thousands untreated, Chaby said. The survey found 10 percent said they showed signs of alcohol abuse or dependency, 8 percent showed signs of PTSD and 11 percent said they suffered from emotional numbness.
"If we don't address [the strains] now, we're going to have major problems," Chaby told USA Today. "That's all we ask of the nation is give us a chance to implement this program."
No survey details were provided.

So Noah and Desi got a ginormous LEGO present from some wonderful people from our church, and I must say, I've been enjoying them quite a bit. I made the joke when they gave them to us that it may be more of a present for me than them.
I've even got Tree respecting the LEGO brand with comments like "I don't think we need any more LEGO." (There's no such thing as 'Legos'.) Granted, her statement as a whole was the most evil of lies, but there's something to be said about saying the wrong thing the right way.
So the boys and I were building the other day and this is a little something I cooked up. My second official MOC. (My Own Creation in the LEGO community) Nothing much, just a little ship. I just wanted to show it off.
What can I say. I like my ladies with a little junk in their trunk.

(CNN) -- How would the likes of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin feel about the way the United States has turned out 232 years after declaring its independence?
Most Americans say they're proud to be citizens, but most also think the Founding Fathers wouldn't be pleased.
Not pleased, a majority of Americans recently polled said.
According to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey, 69 percent of adult Americans who responded to a poll June 26-29 said the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be disappointed by the way the nation has turned out overall.
Twenty-nine percent responded "pleased," the only other choice given to the 1,026 respondents of the telephone poll.
Americans "didn't always feel that way," according to Keating Holland, CNN polling director. "In 2001, 54 percent thought that the signers of the Declaration of Independence would be pleased with the state of the country today."
Still, most who responded to last month's poll took great pride in their country.
Sixty-one percent said they were extremely proud to be Americans; another 28 percent said they were very proud. Seven percent answered "moderately," 2 percent said "only a little," and 1 percent answered "not at all."
The percentage saying "extremely proud" was virtually unchanged from 2005. In 2003, 70 percent said they were extremely proud, and 55 percent said so in 2001. All polls were taken in the same time period, June 26-29, as the 2008 poll.
Another question asked in June: How often should a U.S. presidential candidate wear a flag pin (when dressed in other than casual clothes)?
Forty-one percent of respondents said a candidate should always wear one. Another 13 percent said "frequently," 16 percent said "sometimes," 19 percent said "only occasionally," and 9 percent said "never."
The questions carried a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points, except the flag pin question, which had a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Bowling Balls & Bags for the Lane
Head to the lanes and aim for a strike: Shop the bowling collection at DICK'S Sporting Goods for quality gear.
Every bowler needs the right combo of great-fitting bowling shoes, a convenience-maximizing bowling bag and a perfectly weighted bowling ball. Select from polyester and resin bowling balls. Polyester balls are ideal for beginners bowling in dry conditions. Resin balls perform best on well-oiled lanes and are provided the greatest strike potential.
Match your personal style and your bowling bag with bowling balls in a variety of hues and designs.
Shop popular bowling brands, including Ebonite®, Etonic® and Dexter®.
How to Choose the Right Bowling Ball & Gear
Keep in mind the following factors when selecting your bowling gear:
- Avoid choosing a bowling ball that is too heavy is difficult to control. Many novice bowlers make the mistake of choosing a large ball. To find the best weight for your game, simulate the arm-swinging motion of bowling with weights.
- Bowling shoes widely vary in width, but finding the right size is essential for your game. Bowling shoes that are too tight cause blistering while a fit that' s too loose throws off your balance. Never overlook the importance of comfort and support in your bowling shoes. Padded collars, cushioned insoles and padded linings minimize movement for better stability and balance on the lanes.
Pack up for the lanes with a bowling bag that offers convenient storage. Look for durable materials and straps or handles on bowling bags that are comfortable to carry. Shop the full selection of bowling accessories, including grip tape, wrist control bands and even bowling ball cleaner.

Underground heating oil tanks can pose many potential problems to both home buyers and sellers. They have been the source of many environmental problems such as contamination of surrounding soil and ground water.
Leaks are generally caused by the rust inside underground tanks or by an electrical condition sparked by electric utility lines.
Buyers should always have the tank inspected to make sure that it is structurally sound. Buyers who do not want an underground fuel tank can arrange for an above ground tank to be installed in the basement and the underground tank to be shut off. Cleanup of any leaks will also have to be taken care of.
For buyers, the underground heating oil tank should be written in the sales contract. For sellers, your lawyer should make sure that the description and condition of the underground heating oil tank is accurate and up-to-date.

By Mike M. Ahlers and Melanie Whitley , CNN
updated 5:32 AM EDT, Thu August 2, 2012
Washington (CNN) -- TSA officers rescued a woman from two kidnappers as a group of travelers passed through a security checkpoint at Miami International Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.
In the July 5 incident, the two TSA behavior detection officers, trained to spot terrorists in passenger lines, noticed the 25-year-old woman trembling and trying to hide facial injuries at an airline ticket counter. The woman at first said she was fine, but later broke down crying and said she had been kidnapped, the TSA said.
The officers separated the woman from her four travel partners, leading to her rescue and the arrest of two women in the group on kidnapping and other charges, the TSA said.
"Our officers recognized that the woman was in danger and acted immediately to protect her," said Mark Hatfield, the TSA's federal security director for Miami International Airport.
The incident was first reported Tuesday by Miami television station NBC 6, a day before a congressional hearing on TSA screener misconduct. Several TSA officials said the timing of the news release was coincidental.
Nonetheless, TSA Deputy Administrator John Halinski mentioned the kidnapping case as an example of good work being done by agency employees.
TSA to speed flight attendants through security
"We stopped a kidnapping basically though the quick thinking and the abilities of our BDO (behavior detection officers)," he told the committee.
A North Miami Police Department report gave this account:
The incident began when the victim and four friends came to Miami from New Jersey to celebrate the Fourth of July. The following day -- July 5 -- the woman was alone at a Best Western hotel when her four friends returned from an outing, apparently intoxicated.
While the victim was lying in bed, one woman accused her of having intimate relations with her boyfriend and "began to violently punch her numerous times in the face." When the woman stopped punching her, a second woman punched her in the face several times.
The victim locked herself in a bathroom, but her two attackers struck her again when she left the bathroom. The two other friends "refused to get involved," the report says.
The attackers took jewelry from her, took money from her purse and went to an ATM, where they withdrew money from the victim's account, it says.
The group took a taxi to the Miami airport, and while they were at a ticket counter, a TSA behavior detection officer noticed the victim's injuries. The officer said that one woman "didn't seem comfortable with the people she was traveling with," the TSA said in a statement. The victim at first said she was fine, but a TSA officer "re-engaged the woman and she broke down crying and stated she was kidnapped," the statement said.
"The victim was pulled away by TSA Agents before reaching the travel document check point and Airport Police were called," the TSA said.
Police questioned the woman's four travel partners and arrested the two women. Police identified the women as Tori Beato, 19, of Secaucus, New Jersey, and Melissa Pineiro, 25, of North Bergen, New Jersey.
Beato and Pineiro are charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment and related charges. Both have been released on bond, police said, and efforts by CNN to reach them were unsuccessful. Beato's listed phone number was no longer in service, and Pineiro did not immediately return a call for comment.
At Wednesday's hearing on screener misconduct, the TSA defended its workforce, saying that most screeners behave professionally and that the agency works aggressively to weed out unprofessional workers.
Deputy Administrator Halinski said criticism of the agency comes chiefly from the media, bloggers and politicians. Of the 600 million passengers screened every year, about 750,000 initiate contact with the TSA, and less than 8% of them register complaints, he said.
TSA: Eight Newark officers fired for violating procedures
"When you look at the large number of passengers that are going through, I think that statistic speaks for itself," Halinski said.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Alabama, chairman of the subcommittee, agreed that only a small subset of TSA workers are unprofessional, but he said the frequency of TSA misconduct "is a symptom of a larger problem."
"In some cases, we've seen poor screener performance going uncorrected or, even worse, being encouraged or covered up or by TSA management," he said, noting a 2011 case in which TSA employees at a Honolulu airport were failing to check baggage for explosives.
"TSA's own federal security director was in on it," Rogers said. "One of these cases is too many, but there have been others disturbing since then, including airports in southwest Florida, Philadelphia, JFK and Newark."
Said Halinski: "I'm not saying we're different from any other group of Americans. I'm saying we're exactly like any group of Americans."

For example, the power capsule battery can provide up to 60 hours of extra battery to powerbeats2 wireless headphones.Will the power capsule portable charging case charge my activity tracker or other wearable device? You bet! For example, the power capsule portable charging case can provide up to 55 days of extra battery to a Fitbit Flex.Will the power capsule portable charging case charge my smartphone or tablet? The power capsule battery can provide hours of charge to a smartphone. However it will not provide a complete charge to a smartphone. We do not recommend using the power capsule battery to charge a tablet.Which port is used for charging my device, and which port is for recharging the power capsule battery? To charge your device, connect the supplied USB cable (or the USB cable that came with your device) to the rectangular USB port on the inside of the power capsule case. When you need to recharge the power capsule battery, connect the supplied USB cable to the smaller micro-USB port on the outside of the case and to any power source with a USB out, like a USB wall charger or a computer's USB port.Once I connect my device to the power capsule portable charging case, how do I start charging? Charging begins automatically once you connect your device to the power capsule portable charging case.Can I charge my device while recharging the power capsule battery (Priority+ pass-through charging)? Yes. When you're recharging your power capsule battery, Priority+ pass-through charging provides power to a connected device first, before the power capsule battery starts to recharge.Why aren't the LEDs blinking while my power capsule battery is charging? After connecting the power capsule portable charging case's micro-USB port to a power source, the LED status indicators will start blinking to indicate charging. The lights will turn off after 30 seconds allowing for a good night's rest. Remember to check the status indicator before you disconnect. When all four LEDs are lit, your power capsule battery is fully charged.How many times can I recharge my power capsule battery? You can recharge your power capsule battery for over 500 full cycles. A full cycle is when you recharge the battery from 0% to 100%. Partial cycles, like charging from 25% to 100%, will not count as a full cycle until all of the partials equal 100%. After 500 full cycles, the power capsule battery may provide less than 75% of its original capacity. This is normal for any product with a lithium-ion battery.

So, I've had an idea in my head for quite some time. And up until now I really didn't know if it was possible, or worse yet, if I could pull it off. The idea was to swap or install a steel bed floor where a wood bed once was. The idea came to me because I'm very rough with my things and tend to abuse them more than the average Joe.
When John from Deuces Wild Hotrods & Customs asked me what I was going to do with the bed floor, I pitched him the idea. His face lit up because I think he'd wanted to do the same thing on a pickup. We brainstormed on how to accomplish such a task and came up with a simple answer – LMC Truck.
LMC has several different steel beds that replace the factory '73-87 Chevy bed floors and practically slip right into place. For my application I used part number 38-9566-T for a shortbed truck. When I say it almost slipped into the factory bed, I wasn't kidding. The LMC floor is so close, all I did was trim it in a few spots to make it fit.
The only issue I ran into was the wheel well openings were off on one side by 6-8 inches, but my wide 285/35/R18 Nitto tires fit with no problems. Since I was also planning to raise the bed floor to clear my C-notch, the wheel well opening was not an issue. Note, if you don't plan on raising the bed floor, everything should still fit. Since this truck is being built for autocross, adding weight is probably not the best idea, but we are adding the weight in the back where we need it. Besides, I want to use the truck for just that – a "truck."

Kluk kluk is a style not a design name from the sound it makes when poured from.
any idea on rarity or price...not that I'm selling!!! I can't bear to part with such gorgeous things :-) But, I would like to know whether I paid too much or hopefully got a bargain :-)

Bristol Palin recently returned to the headlines by panning Tina Fey and "Saturday Night Live" for mocking the verbal yo-yo exhibition her mother put on while endorsing Donald Trump last month. "Saturday Night Live and Fey have been clinging to this impersonation a little too long," the younger Palin wrote in a blog post. "It's getting pathetic."
Sure, Fey debuted her Sarah Palin imitation in 2008, which seems like eons ago in the national political timeline. But the former "Weekend Update" anchor's latest "SNL" gig didn't feel old as much as old school: She offered a master class in meta comedy by lampooning a performance by Palin that played to many like a Tina Fey caricature.
Fey's return came in an "SNL" election year season in which comedians boasting long histories with the show are taking center stage. Amy Poehler donned her 2008 Hillary Clinton wig and frosty smile for a dueling Hillarys bit with current cast member Kate McKinnon. Former cast member and current "SNL" announcer Darrell Hammond has pulled double duty with his dead-on Trump and Bill Clinton impressions.
But "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David stands out as the season's most ballyhooed cameo-maker, with two appearances as Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. And why not: They look alike. They sound alike. They grew up just six years and a couple of Brooklyn neighborhoods apart.
They both come across as agitated contrarians who sweat the details (David as Sanders assailing big banks: "Why do they chain all their pens to the desk?").
"SNL" gets to feel the Bern this weekend when David hosts for the first time, fresh off Sanders' strong showing in the Iowa caucuses. Both men, to put it in cheesy Seinfeldian terms, are as hot as one of George Steinbrenner's favorite calzones.
David's grumpy persona won't allow him show whether he's feeling - to borrow his own favorite phrase - pretty, pretty, pretty good about hosting a show after seemingly burning his bridges three decades ago during a brief stint as a writer.
The off-told story goes like this: David, who was having trouble getting sketches on the air, quit in dramatic fashion and stormed out. He later panicked and returned to work as if nothing happened.
If that sounds familiar, it's because David used his experience as fodder for his self-destructive TV alter ego, George Costanza, on "Seinfeld," the show that made him rich, though not immediately famous.
David's gained a post-"Seinfeld" following through his HBO show, "Curb Your Enthusiasm." His recent turn in his Broadway play, "A Fish in the Dark," offered a showcase for live performing chops left largely dormant since his stand-up days and his role on the short-lived early 1980s ABC sketch show "Fridays."
Like Sanders, David's acquired-taste appeal crosses age groups. The comic's public detente with "SNL" started with his cameo on last year's 40th anniversary special, which brought together decades worth of performers, with little sign of generation gaps.
"SNL" isn't "pathetic," as Bristol Palin suggests, as much as keeping up with the times - even when that means turning back the clock.

MADRID, May 9 (UPI) -- World No. 1 and defending champion Serena Williams dropped just two points on serve Thursday in grabbing a berth in the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open.
Williams needed just 64 minutes to oust 13th-seeded Maria Kirilenko 6-3, 6-1. She took an amazing 32-of-34 points on serve.
Williams had four breaks in eight receiving games and, combined with taking more than half the points off Kirilenko's serve, won 68 percent of the points in the match. Williams is 7-0 in her career versus Kirilenko.
No. 2-ranked Maris Sharapova overcame three breaks in a 6-2, 7-5 decision over Sabine Lisicki. Sharapova, however, had six breaks in Lisicki's 10 games serving.
Other third-round matches Thursday saw No. 7-seeded Sara Errani beat Varvara Lepchenko 7-5, 6-3 while Ekaterina Makarova ousted 14th-seeed Marion Bartoli 6-3, 6-2 and Kaia Kanepi advanced over Daniela Hantuchova 6-3, 6-4.
The quarterfinals have Williams playing Anna Medina Garrigues and Makarova facing Errani in one half of the draw while Sharapova meets Kanepi and sixth-seeded Angelique Kerber goes against No. 16 Ana Ivanovic in the other.

Stockton, CA
Jane Johnson
Dec. 20, 1923 - Oct. 22, 2013
Mary Jane Johnson, known fondly by all as "Jane," passed from this world on October 22, 2013, at the
age of 89, with her loving children Thomas R. Johnson of Stockton, and Deidre L. Johnson of Sacramento by her side. She survived major abdominal surgery in July, but succumbed to complications. Jane is also survived by her grandchildren Aaron J. Johnson of Seattle, Washington; and Jillian Q. Johnson of Petaluma, California; along with Jane's sisters Jeanne Jankovsky of Montana, Rosemary Meskiel of Florida; and her brothers Don Scarmuzzi of Ohio, and Joe Scarmuzzi of Florida. Jane was preceded in death by her
husband of 62 years, Quentin L. Johnson; and her brother Gerald J. Scarmuzzi of Ohio.
Jane was born in Niles, Ohio in December 1923, and graduated in 1944 from St. Elizabeth's Hospital School of Nursing in Youngstown. She served as a nurse in the United States Army for two years, and, in 1947, married Quentin, a career Army officer who fought in both World War II and the Korean War and received many injuries and medals. As a military officer's wife, Jane cared for her family in various locations including Colorado, Georgia, Japan and Germany. Upon Quentin's disability retirement in 1959, the family moved to Santa Clara, California, where Jane returned to work as a registered nurse at a hospital and then at Pacific Bell (now AT&T). With Pac Bell's assistance, Jane pursued a higher education and obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the College of Notre Dame in Belmont in 1978, becoming an employee assistance counselor. Jane then secured her Master of Arts degree in counseling from Santa Clara University 1n 1981. Throughout her career, Jane listened to people suffering from a wide range of personal problems, and was well respected for her dedication and uplifting attitude. In 1985, she retired, continued as a consultant in Santa Clara County, and then moved to Sun City West in Arizona.
In 1996, Jane and Quentin moved to Stockton to be nearer to their children and grandchildren. Following Quentin's passing in 2009, Jane resided in an independent living apartment at the O'Connor Woods retirement community, where she sang in the choir, was an avid bridge player, enjoyed good books, and was an outgoing, social member of the community. As well, Jane was a dedicated member of the international Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO), promoting the educational advancement of women, and St Anne Episcopal Church. Jane embraced an exuberant outlook on life and emphasized enjoying each day.
A memorial service will be held at the Chapel at O'Connor Woods, 3400 Wagner Heights Rd., Stockton, on Saturday, November 2, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests remembrances be made to the American Cancer Society or the O'Connor Woods Resident Assistance Fund. Please sign the online guestbook at www.cherokeememorial.com.

3 Surfacec) Volcanism and society: geotourism, hazards, resources
Volcanoes play an important role in human's life: (1) an economic – as supplier of raw material, (2) a dangerous – as
cause of natural disasters and (3) an educating – as key role for public understanding of Geosciences. In the
session we want to discuss examples or trends for the use of volcanic raw material in research and industry (e.g. as
alternative energy) the risks of volcanism or therewith related activities in Central Europe (e.g. monitoring of mantle
gases as indicator for magmatic events) and the significance of volcanoes for the popularization of geology (e.g.
volcano routes) because of their impressive character. An important aim of the session and the entire conference is
the networking and exchange between scientists and people with different technical and social approach to Cenozoic
magmatism and its remains. Therefore, we invite contributions to these three topics from geoscientists, mining
engineers or technologists, tourism experts, regional planning or administration persons.

A labor union was an organization that developed where members of a workforce who had a common trade or worked at the same establishment banded together in order to take advantage of the increased power of collective bargaining.
Chief Miles O'Brien proudly claimed that his ancestor, Sean Aloysius O'Brien, led his union into the eleven-month Anthracite strike of 1902, before being killed one week before the strike's end. His body was found in the Allegheny River, riddled with bullets. (DS9: "Bar Association")
The formation of a labor union was forbidden and severely punished in Ferengi society. (DS9: "Bar Association")
Rom formed a union in late 2372, after Quark became even more ruthless to his staff. Brunt and the Ferengi Commerce Authority became aware of it and took steps to destroy it. To avoid further trouble with the FCA, Quark gave all of his staff an increase in wages in exchange for Rom dissolving the union. (DS9: "Bar Association")
Rom cited the union as having no effect on Ferengi attitudes to him, although his brother caustically told him "they didn't want anything to do with you before you formed the union..." (DS9: "Body Parts")
In 2374, Quark shouted at two idle Ferengi waiters, saying "What is this, a union meeting?" (DS9: "Resurrection")

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky said in interview excerpts broadcast Monday that a key witness against him misinterpreted him showering with a young boy in Penn State football team facilities more than a decade ago.
Sandusky told documentary filmmaker John Ziegler, in recordings played on NBC's "Today" show, that he does not understand how Mike McQueary concluded "that sex was going on" when he witnessed Sandusky showering with a boy in 2001.
"That would have been the last thing I would have thought about," Sandusky said during what Ziegler described as 3½ hours of interviews. "I would have thought maybe fooling around or something like that."
McQueary, a graduate assistant in 2001, testified at trial that he heard "skin-on-skin smacking sound" and had no doubt he was witnessing anal sex.
In a transcript posted online, Ziegler said he asked Sandusky about McQueary's claim he made eye contact with Sandusky at the end of that incident, but Sandusky said he did not recall seeing McQueary or even know who had made the complaint until years later.
Sandusky acknowledged, however, that McQueary avoided contact with him about a decade later — around the time the investigation against Sandusky was heating up.
McQueary's father, John McQueary, declined comment, and there was no answer at McQueary's lawyer's office early Monday. Mike McQueary has filed a defamation and whistleblower lawsuit against Penn State over how he was treated after Sandusky's arrest.
The boy, identified as Victim 2 in court records, was not a witness at trial. A team of four lawyers has said they are representing Victim 2 and posted online audio recordings of voicemails purportedly from Sandusky and left for the boy.
The lawyers — Joel Feller, Matt Casey, Justine Andronici and Andrew Shubin — issued a statement Monday saying Victim 2 and their other clients "have heard enough from Jerry Sandusky" and are focusing on "healing and holding Penn State accountable for choosing to protect Jerry Sandusky and themselves instead of protecting children from years of horrific sexual abuse."
Sandusky also told Ziegler he was not sure whether head coach Joe Paterno, who was fired after Sandusky's November 2011 arrest, would have let him keep coaching if he suspected Sandusky was a pedophile. Sandusky was investigated by university police for a separate shower incident in 1998, but remained one of Paterno's top assistants through 1999.
"If he absolutely thought I was, I'd say no," Sandusky said in the audio recording. "If he had a suspicion, I don't know the answer to that."
Sandusky said he did not touch the boys inappropriately, Ziegler wrote.
"Yeah, I hugged them," Sandusky said, according to Ziegler. "Maybe I tested boundaries. Maybe I shouldn't have showered with them. Yeah, I tickled them. I looked at them as being probably younger than even some of them were. But I didn't do any of these horrible acts and abuse these young people. I didn't violate them. I didn't harm them."
Ziegler, who is working on a defense of Paterno, said the interviews were conducted during three sessions, and told the AP on Monday that additional excerpts will be posted online over the coming days. The transcripts were posted by Ziegler on his site, www.framingpaterno.com.
He describes himself as an author, broadcaster, commentator and maker of films, including the 2009 movie "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted."
Along with the Sandusky interview material, Ziegler posted a piece about himself that anticipates critical media coverage of his background. As an example, he noted he has been "fired in radio lots of times for saying things which seem outrageous."
"This is actually true. It is totally and completely irrelevant to the findings of my findings on the Sandusky scandal and whether Joe Paterno was railroaded by you, but yes, this charge is mostly true," Ziegler wrote.
Wick Sollers, a Paterno family lawyer, said in a statement released Sunday that Sandusky had an opportunity to testify at trial but "chose not to do so."
"The Paterno family would prefer to remain silent on this matter, but they feel it is important to make it clear that they had no role in obtaining or releasing this recording," Sollers said. "Moreover, they believe that any attempt to use this recording as a defense of Joe Paterno is misguided and inappropriate."
Penn State issued a statement that said Sandusky's latest remarks "continue to open wounds for his victims, and the victims of child sexual abuse everywhere."
Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence after being convicted last year of 45 counts of child sexual abuse. He maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.

Mexican Toy Dealer Pleads Guilty In Drug Money Laundering Case
Plea Part of Probe into L.A. Toy Company Tied to 'Black Market Peso Exchange
LOS ANGELES - A Mexican businessman pleaded guilty today in federal court to conspiring with the owners of a Los Angeles area toy wholesaler to launder thousands of "narco dollars" for drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.
Luis Ernesto Flores Rivera, 54, of Guadalajara, Mexico, faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiring to launder financial instruments. As a result of today's guilty plea, Flores becomes the first defendant to be convicted in Los Angeles on money laundering charges arising from this type of scheme, which is commonly referred to as a "black market peso exchange."
Flores was among eight defendants, including Woody Toys in the City of Industry, indicted in April for allegedly using "structured" cash deposits in the United States to launder illicit proceeds generated by drug trafficking organizations based in Mexico and Colombia. A "structured" deposit is less than $10,000 and is designed to avoid laws that require any cash transaction of at least $10,000 to be reported to federal authorities. According to his plea agreement, between 2008 and 2011, Flores conspired with Woody Toys to launder between $70,000 and $120,000.
"This investigation has brought to light the extreme methods used by drug dealers to hide their illegal profits, and how the complex web of drug trafficking reaches well beyond the neighborhood drug seller," commented Drug Enforcement Administration Acting Special Agent in Charge Briane M. Grey.
As part of the money laundering scheme, the indictment in the case alleges that foreign toy retailers in Colombia and Mexico would contact currency brokers to buy discounted U.S. dollars, which they would use to purchase merchandise from Woody Toys. The dollars being sold were allegedly proceeds from illegal drug sales that had been deposited in the toy company's accounts or had been delivered to the business in the form of bulk cash. To complete the circle, the Colombian and Mexican pesos used by the foreign toy retailers to purchase the discounted U.S. dollars were remitted by currency brokers to drug trafficking organizations.
"Money laundering is an nefarious practice that plays an integral role in narcotics trafficking," said United States Attorney André Birotte Jr. "Here, Mr. Flores stooped to using children's merchandise as part of a scheme to hide illegal proceeds - a practice that serves to demonstrate how desperate drug trafficking organizations are to evade law enforcement's efforts to cut off their flow of money."
"Those who conspire to help launder profits for drug trafficking organizations should be on notice there will be a high price to pay for enabling these dangerous criminal enterprises," said Claude Arnold, Special Agent in Charge for Homeland Security (HSI) Los Angeles. "HSI will continue to aggressively target individuals and businesses whose actions are contributing in no small way to the devastation wrought by the international drug trade."
Leslie P. DeMarco, Special Agent in Charge of IRS-Criminal Investigation's Los Angeles Field Office, stated "Mr. Flores attempted to put illegally generated 'narco dollars' into the legitimate financial system by structuring his cash deposits, and then he used that tainted money to purchase toys from Woody Toys. This is money laundering and it will not be tolerated by the federal government. IRS-Criminal Investigation is working hard to ensure criminals do not use the United States banking system to legitimize their illegal profits."
According to the indictment in this case, Woody Toys took in approximately $3 million in out-of-state cash between 2005 and December 2011 without filing the required paper work with the government. During that same time, Bank of America records show that another $3 million in out-of-state cash was deposited into Woody Toys' accounts at the financial institution.
Flores pleaded guilty before United States District Judge R. Gary Klausner, who is scheduled to sentence the defendant on October 15. As a result of his guilty plea, Flores faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
In addition to Woody Toys and Flores, the other defendants charged in the case include the owners of Woody Toys - Jia "Gary" Hui Zhou, 43, and Dan "Daisy" Xin Li, 43 - three of the company's employees, and another Mexico-based toy (see: http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/states/newsrel/2012/la041612a.html). The remaining seven defendants are scheduled to go on trial on October 16 before Judge Klausner.
The probe targeting Woody Toys began in November 2010 based on evidence uncovered during a similar investigation into another Los Angeles area toy wholesaler, Angel (see: http://www.justice.gov/usao/cac/Pressroom/2012/021.html). Several former employees of Angel Toys subsequently went to work for Woody Toys.
Investigators say the "black market peso exchange" benefits criminal organizations by giving them a means to launder illicit proceeds using international trade. The system also gives foreign retailers access to discounted U.S. currency, which enables the foreign retailers to avoid steep exchange rates and other fees. And, for the U.S. based company, the scheme is a way to substantially increase sales volume.Today's guilty plea by Flores is the latest development stemming from a long-term probe by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement'(ICE) Homeland Security (HSI), IRS - Criminal Investigation, and the multi-agency Southern California Drug Task Force, which is spearheaded by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Chipley- Roll call is a thing of the past in Washington County Schools. Students now check in with finger scanning devices.
School Superintendent Sandra Cook said the old method just wasn't cutting it.
"We got to talking about attendance in our district and how it was inconsistent," said Cook.
The systems have been up and running for two months inside the schools, but since the majority of students ride the bus every day, district officials decided to move the devices there.
But the transition hasn't been easy. One of the biggest challenges they've faced is where to put the devices on the buses. State safety codes require the isles to be kept completely clear, so one of the ideas they've discussed is to put a laptop on one side of the steering wheel and the finger scan system on the other.
The school district plans to test the equipment in a handful of buses in the next week and hopes to have each one operational by November or December at the latest.
"When it's all said and done, we're going to find that this is going to be one of the most monumental things that Washington County has ever done," said Cook.
The finger scan device costs the school district about $30 per student each year. Parents can still opt for their children to sign in the traditional way.
