Rutgers Cancer Institute and Univ. of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center Awarded $4.25 Million Grant to Develop Innovative Clinical Trials
New Brunswick, NJ, March 21, 2014 — Precision medicine, or the movement to 'personalize' cancer treatments, has grown significantly over the past few years, with researchers from large universities and cancer centers from across the nation making advances in identifying targeted therapies and understanding what drives them.
Aiming to further build on that momentum with the development of innovative early-phase clinical trials examining genomic and therapeutic biomarkers is Robert S. DiPaola, MD, director of Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
Dr. DiPaola, who was just awarded a competitive $4.25 million grant (UM1CA186716) by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health to support the precision experimental therapeutics endeavor, will collaborate with investigators from the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center on the research that will have a nationwide reach.
For the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, this grant comes on the heels of the recent recruitment of Howard L. Kaufman, MD, FACS, as its new Associate Director for Clinical Science. Dr. Kaufman — who most recently was director of the Rush University Cancer Center in Chicago — has extensive experience in developing clinical trial protocols and seeks to increase the scientific depth of studies developed at the Cancer Institute.
"While NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers including Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey are making great strides individually with precision medicine research, collaborative efforts between such centers offer a synergy and access to resources that can further advance such exploration at a more rapid pace," says DiPaola. "By working together with colleagues at UW Carbone Cancer Center, we have enhanced opportunities to develop new mechanisms by which to guide more tailored therapies for patients."
"This grant and collaboration between Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the University of Wisconsin exemplifies the importance of building bridges within and beyond our university to advance our research," says Brian L. Strom, MD, MPH, chancellor, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. "I applaud the efforts of Dr. DiPaola and his team at the Cancer Institute."
The Cancer Institute and UW Carbone Cancer Center already have an established relationship, having jointly developed clinical trial protocols for the NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) over the past five years. The aim with this new initiative is to enhance scientific understanding and provide more trial opportunities to be offered through the CTEP program.
An existing collaboration between the Cancer Institute and RUCDR Infinite Biologics, the world's largest university-based biorepository located within the Human Genetics Institute of New Jersey at Rutgers University, will allow access to cancer tissue samples for genomic analysis and sequencing.
A long-standing relationship between the Cancer Institute and the Simons Center for Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton will augment the team's ability to discover mutations and patterns and interpret results. This grant also will support collaborations on imaging research with the Rutgers School of Engineering.
"The Wisconsin and New Jersey (WIN) Alliance in Precision Experimental Therapeutics is a great example of team science, as each institution brings forth unique strengths and resources can be combined to meet the challenges and needs for the NCI's Early Therapeutics – Clinical Trials Network," says Glenn Liu, MD, UW Carbone Cancer Center, who is the co-principal investigator on the grant with DiPaola.
Through the CTEP program, the trials will have the ability to accrue patients not only from New Jersey and Wisconsin, but nationally, as the studies would have an opportunity to open at other cancer centers across the country.
Once trials are designed and offered to patients, extensive monitoring and evaluation by the Cancer Institute and UW Carbone Cancer Center team will take place in order that investigators can refine the studies.
Another aim of the initiative is to develop management approaches that will further streamline the clinical trial process and make it more efficient. The funding will support this work over the next five years and in particular will help strengthen the Cancer Institute's emphasis on its clinical research program — including a major focus on clinical trials.
"Genomic analysis, identifying new biomarkers and other innovative advances in recent years have accelerated the pace of cancer discovery, thus making more information available than ever before," notes Kaufman. "By combining both research and clinical strengths, investigators can maximize this data in designing clinical trials with novel approaches. This new grant will support our teams in doing just that."
The initiative through Rutgers is among the first cancer research collaborations with a fellow member of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the academic arm of the Big Ten Conference.
The consortium comprises 15 top-tier universities, including the University of Chicago, the members of the Big Ten and the Big Ten's incoming members — Rutgers and the University of Maryland. Rutgers joined the CIC July 1, 2013, a year before its entrance to the Big Ten. CIC member universities engage in $10.06 billion in funded research each year.

Stone Group has named its chief bean counter Simon Harbridge as CEO to try to fill the hole left by predecessor James Bird.
Bird flew the coop back in October over a disagreement with VC backers RJD Partners, believed to hinge upon the timing of an exit strategy - he wanted out sooner than they did.
In a statement issued today, Stone confirmed that Harbridge, who was involved in the firm's two management buy-outs in 2005 and then again in 2008, beat a bunch of other candidates to the role.
"His appointment creates a degree of consistency across the organisation," Stone said.
Steering a UK system builder is no easy task - most of the local PC and server makers bit the dust years ago and those that remain have focused on B2B verticals.
That said, public sector supplier Stone ground out a relatively decent set of calendar 2011 numbers, with sales dipping to £65.5m from £69.7m in 2010 but operating profits rising 42 per cent to £1.9m.
Long term debts stood at £31.1m at the back of last year, so Harbridge needs to figure out ways to ensure a sustainable and workable operating profit.
The company recently shuttered its Rock business which made heavy duty gaming laptops claiming it saw no potential in the future of the operation. ®

What's that you're doing, Mr. Hinrichs?
Gunnar Hinrichs, 38,
has been with Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg for 11 years
"I'm using a 3D scanner to digitalize a radome (the nose of an aircraft). With the scanned data, I can produce the exact replica we need to repair damage, such as dents, to the radome. Unfortunately, a dent cannot be straightened, so we have to cut out that section. Once we've done that, we place the radome nose-first into my radome replica – a perfect fit. My colleagues then place strips of fiberglass across the hole to fill it. These strips are still as soft as fabric when they are laid down, so we apply a special resin to harden them. Then we seal the radome with the copy in a large vacuum bag and put it into a huge oven to bake at 175 degrees Celsius for up to 7.5 hours. When we take the radome out again, the fibers are fused together and hard. The repaired radome is now as good as new."

Jacksonville officials want to know what residents think of their city.
Jacksonville officials want to know what residents think of their city.
�This is about what people think of you when you�re not telling them what you are,� said Glenn Hargett, assistant city manager.
The city is asking residents to take a community branding survey which will determine the tourism brand for Jacksonville. The branding includes events, activities and places where people new to Jacksonville may wish to visit. A brand is not a campaign theme, tagline or slogan. It�s an expression of a compelling, unique experience offered by a certain place, according to North Star Ideas, the consulting firm performing the survey. North Star specializes in creating awareness about a community�s visitation and destination potential.
�A brand is not created; it is discovered within the spirit of a place,� according to North Star.
The brand is meant to be what makes Jacksonville special. The survey will discover what is in the hearts and minds of people who call Jacksonville home and then to capture what others think of the community, according to information from North Star.
The brand and image for Jacksonville must appeal to audiences of all types including everything that can help Jacksonville and all of its organizations achieve their full potential, according to the Jacksonville Tourism Development Authority.
�This was prompted by the desire of the Jacksonville Tourism Development Authority to provide awareness for the lodging facilities we have available and to fill those facilities,� Hargett said, adding that the branding will help the entire area draw in more tourists.
The branding work is funded by the city�s occupancy tax, which is collected from overnight stays.
The branding will help increase overnight stays for hotels within the city. The branding will also be used in projects meant to boost overnight visits.
A link to the survey can be found on the city�s website, ci.jacksonville.nc.us. Surveys will also be available at City Hall at 815 New Bridge Street.

TNA has reached another Turning Point in their history. The rematch between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle topped off a somewhat lackluster PPV, but showed that there are big things on the horizon for the group. A star-studded spectacle filled with many close calls, near finishes and spectacular moments proved that TNA is ready to take their game to the next level and provide some serious competition to WWE.
It was the main event, "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe was set to go up against the man who broke his 18-month long winning steak in TNA, "The Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle. The stage was set and the intensity level was off the charts. The Impact Zone was shaking as the modern day irresistible force met the modern day immovable object. It was the moment in which TNA would reach another big Turning Point in their quest to success.
The match itself displayed what real wrestling is all about. Joe and Angle matched each other with vicious clotheslines, a series of suplexes which included a huge overhead release suplex on Angle, as well as a mix of reversals back and forth as both competitors jockeyed for position over the other, with Angle getting the better of most of the exchanges. Olympic Slam attempts were plentiful, however only one actually connected, but it wasn't enough to put Joe away.
Joe attempted to hit the Muscle Buster, but Angle rolled through and locked in the Ankle Lock. Angle and Joe traded submission finishers, with both men escaping time and time again. Joe was eventually able to reach the ropes and break the chain. Joe got to his feet and Angle charged at him, catching an elbow and flying into senior official Rudy Charles. Joe then locked in the rear naked choke, forcing Angle to tap, but their was nobody around to recognize the submission.
Joe got up to check on Charles and was hit from behind with a low blow. Angle went to the outside and grabbed a chair, he came charging in again at Joe and wound up hitting the rope and having the chair bounce back at him. Dazed and confused, Angle fell into another rear naked choke and tapped out, giving Samoa Joe the biggest win of his career. A true Turning Point in TNA.
Match One - Ron "The Truth" Killings and Lance Hoyt vs. Serotinin (Johnny Devine, Frankie Kazarian and Matt Bentley)
Things are starting to take shape for Serotinin. It's beginning to develop, but a lot of work still needs to be done on them. Serotinin showed some hope, with Kazarian getting in some offense and preventing Hoyt from taking a high risk leap onto Devine. After some back and forth action Kazarian got caught and planted with an axe kick courtesy of "The Truth." After the match, Kazarian was punished with a series of kendo stick shots from Raven.
Winners Via Pinfall - Ron "The Truth" Killings and Lance Hoyt
Match Rating - 5/10
The show began with an interesting opener that mixed TNA and Santa Claus clips. Odd, but effective.
Match One - PCS 5 Way Elimination Match - Jay Lethal vs. Senshi vs. Alex Shelley vs. Austin Starr vs. Sonjay Dutt
Kevin Nash came out to join Mike Tenay and Don West on commentary for the first part of the Papparazzi Championship Series. Good opener, could have been much better. Nash was hilarious on commentary, sticking to his claims that Dutt is on steroids. Shelley and Dutt went at it, with Dutt locking in a Camel Clutch. The ref was distracted while Starr pulled Shelley away from the ropes, leaving him no option but to tap out.
Elimination One Via Submission - Alex Shelley (Earns 1 Point in the PCS)
The other competitors hit the ring and tagged in and out. Lethal charged at Senshi and was met with a flying pair of boots, knocking him down and out of the contest.
Elimination Two Via Pinfall - Jay Lethal (Earns 2 Points in the PCS)
Senshi and Starr teamed up on Dutt. Dutt locked in a Camel Clutch on Starr that for some reason was broken up by Senshi. Either way Starr got a second chance and took full advantage of it, hitting a 450 and putting away Dutt.
Elimination Three Via Pinfall - Sonjay Dutt (Earns 3 Points in the PCS)
Starr went at Senshi and hit his swinging elbow drop. Starr continued his assault and went to the top to land another 450 splash. Shelley came back down and distracted Starr long enough for him to miss the 450 and get rolled up by Senshi.
Elimination Four Via Pinfall - Austin Starr (Earns 4 Points in the PCS)
After the match Starr and Shelley argued to Kevin Nash who told them to work it out.
Winner - Senshi (Earns 5 Points in the PCS)
Match Rating - 6/10
In the back, Jeremy Borash was with Eric Young. Young was nervous about the Bikini Contest, but Borash encouraged him on and told him that he had the cajones. Funny bit.
First Ever TNA Bikini Contest - Ms. Brooks w/ Robert Roode vs. "Showtime" Eric Young
Ms. Brooks won the coin toss and went first. West and Tenay were drooling all over her. Young came up next, removing his robe to show a T-Shirt with an airbrushed bikini. Roode said that wasn't proper attire and he should be disqualified. Young said he wasnt finished. He continued on to reveal Spongebob Squarepants boxers. Roode again claimed it was inproper attire. Young again stated that he wasn't finished. He continued on to reveal a pair of small Spongebob Squarepants briefs that ultimately got him the win. Roode attacked Young, who slid out of the ring and up the ramp. He then yelled at Ms. Brooks and told her to do whatever it takes to get Young to sign with Robert Roode Enterprises, and if she didn't she would be fired.
Winner - "Showtime" Eric Young
Rating - 1/10 (It was funny, but it didn't deserve a real rating.)
Latisha was in the back looking for VKM who was doing a DX knockoff. She knocked on the door, but it went unanswered. A Big Dick Johnson ripoff came from behind and grinded her against the door. She ran away as the ripoff knocked on their door. It again went unanswered so he went looking for catering.
Match Two - TNA X Division Championship Match - "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels (C) vs. Chris Sabin - Special Guest Referee: Jerry Lynn
Lynn called it right down the middle. Sabin showed a ton of fight, sending Daniels crashing to the floor, tossing him on the entrance ramp. Sabin caught Daniels with a wicked Tornado DDT, but Daniels was able to recover and hit a DVD for a near fall. Sabin continued to match Daniels punch for punch until Daniels caught Sabin with a kick that laid him out and a BME that put him away, thus allowing the champ to retain his title. Afterwards, Lynn took the belt and told Sabin to show some respect. Daniels just wanted his belt and eventually snatched it from Lynn, telling him he didn't care about Sabin. This infuriated Lynn who slapped Daniels as security swarmed the ring to separate them.
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL TNA X Division Champion - "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels
Match Rating - 7/10
Jim Cornette came to ring and was joined by AJ Pierzynski, Dale Torborg, David and Rick Eckstein. David Eckstein promoted his brand new book. Pierzynski and Torborg mocked him, tearing pages out of the book and ultimately attacking the Ecksteins. Lance Hoyt came down and made the save as the Ecksteins stared down Pierzynski and Torborg. Ugh.
Jeremy Borash was interviewing Rhino in the back when he was jumped by AJ Styles. The two brawled all over the Impact Zone, cracking walls in the process. At one point, Styles was nearly dumped directly on his head on the concrete after Rhino threw him. The fight final made it's way to the ring, thus officially starting...
Match Three - "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. "The War Machine" Rhino
Another good back and forth match. Rhino dominated a good portion of the match, planting Styles with slam after slam and huge spinebuster that might have re-arranged the back of "The Phenomenal One." The end came with Rhino launched Styles to the outside and apparently injured his knee. The trainers and referees came down to check on Styles and were about to call the match when Styles broke away and rolled up Rhino from behind for the win.
Winner Via Pinfall - "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles
In the back, Latisha ran into a Vince McMahon impersonator, complete with a rooster, who threatened to fire her. Probably the best VKM segment yet.
Back to ringside, AJ Styles and Rhino continued brawling and were eventually separated by security.
In the back Jeremy Borash stood with LAX who promised to bring the violence and defeat AMW.
Match Four - Flag Match - LAX w/ Konnan vs. AMW w/ Gail Kim
Winners Via Hanging Their Flag - LAX
In the back, Storm said Harris quit and that what happened was a disgrace. He went on to say that Harris had till Impact to apologize to him. Storm and Harris breaking up again? Ugh.
VKM came out dressed like DX. They did the spiel and out came a bunch of Spirit Squad knockoffs. They hit the ring and fell down before VKM could hit them. One member was stuck in the ring as the Big Dick Johnson knock off came down and superkicked him. VKM then said that it was all a parody. They ripped off their masks and said that the truth is they want to issue a challenge. They made a million dollar challenge, where it would be them vs. DX in a legit shoot fight. BG James laid down the gauntlet and said that if Vince McMahon didn't accept, he was nothing more than a piece of $#@#*. Wow.
Christian Cage and Tomko talked with JB backstage, saying that the title reign of Abyss was about to come to an end.
A surprisingly bad encounter. Sting had his moments to shine. Abyss got knocked around for a majority of the match and Cage had occasional offensive flurries, but nothing more. Tomko and Mitchell both tried to get involved, but each was knocked down for their efforts. Thumbtacks were brought into play by Mitchell, Abyss tried to use them, but instead got stomped head first into them by Tomko. Sting tried to talk sense into Abyss not to bother with Mitchell anymore, but he wouldn't listen. Sting then locked in the Scorpion Deathlock, but was attacked from behind with a steel chair by Cage. Abyss got back to a vertical base and caught Sting for the Black Hole Slam. As Sting was spinning around, he hit Cage and knocked him from the ring, allowing Abyss to plant him and get the pin. Terribly sloppy finish.
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL NWA Heavyweight Champion - "The Monster" Abyss
Jeremy Borash caught up with Kurt Angle who said that this would be his last encounter with Samoa Joe. They played the hype video again and went into...
Match Six - "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle
Winner Via Submission - "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe
Match Rating - 8/10
They showed replays of the match and teased another rematch as Turning Point came to an end.
Overall Event Rating - 6.5/10

Ever increasing energy costs have caused consumers to take a serious look at the solar alternative," said George Briewa, NASS CEO "Our new solar store brand will clearly communicate where homeowners can come to get expert assistance and high-quality solar products.
NASS is a network that is an outgrowth of a group of well established, locally owned Hearth & Home stores. NASS is creating a nationally recognized solar store brand to meet the solar energy needs of each community by providing solar PV and solar thermal from reputable and trusted sources. The growing NASS network currently includes 26 brick and mortar Hearth & Home, HVAC or alternative energy stores, with more stores coming very soon.
The highly fragmented solar industry is currently undergoing a fundamental change. With the abundance of federal and state tax incentives, homeowners and small businesses now realize the full potential of solar power. The North American Solar Stores network recognizes the vast benefits solar energy provides for the general public and works to assist consumers by making solar easily understood and accessible.
Each solar store sends their solar technicians to continuing education classes and field training to learn about the latest solar technology and solar installation best practices. The mandatory on-going training through the NASS Solar Training Institute in Madison, WI guarantees consumers will receive the best assistance and knowledge at any of the NASS locations.
The NASS mission is to provide consumers and small businesses with the resources to carefully guide consumers through the solar purchasing process.
The NASS solar store network provides four distinct advantages for solar consumers.
Collective Buying Power
The size of all of the North American Solar Stores together allows the network to negotiate large-scale purchases of high quality solar components for a lower cost. Each store then capitalizes on the shared buying power and offers prices competitive with all other local solar retailers to their consumers
Highly Trained Professionals
Each of the member solar stores have their own installation and service crews to operate their long standing businesses, so adding rooftop solar panel installation and servicing to their repertoire is easily accomplished with the specialized NASS training. These service technicians also have a solid understanding of the various mechanical systems in each home, which allows them to easily navigate the intricacies of solar installations. Each solar technician is required to attend hands on training and education at the NASS Solar Training Institute in Madison, WI. These on-going training courses guarantee that every consumer who visits a NASS network store will receive the best service in the industry.
The NASS curriculum was created under the direction of ISPQ Certified Master Trainer, Chris LaForge in partnership with the MREA (Midwest Renewable Energy Association). The Solar Training Institute has a rigorous schedule of requirements that provides our professionals with a real competitive edge over other solar providers. Best practices are shared throughout the NASS network building continuously on our commitment to continuing education.
Strong Local Reputation Backed by a Nationally Recognized Brand Name
Many other solar energy equipment providers lack a successful track record and reputation. However, NASS partners exclusively with existing well established stores, so each brick and mortar solar store in the network has been in business for years operating in a related alternative energy industry. These stores have spent many years establishing a reputation of high quality service and customer satisfaction in their local community and continue to meet this high level of customer satisfaction in the solar industry.
Consumer Focused Retail Model
While large-scale solar projects have dominated solar news, a sustainable future lies in the hands of the everyday consumer. NASS strives to help consumers adopt an economical alternative energy resource. NASS helps consumers incorporate solar into their home improvement strategy, by making solar understandable and accessible to all homeowners and small business owners.
NASS member stores are currently located in Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin, and the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario. There are also NASS locations coming soon in many other states and provinces across North America.

Why Have an Irrevocable Trust?
June 23, 2010
Wills, revocable trusts, and irrevocable trusts are all estate planning devices. Revocable trusts are a type of trust that can be changed, modified, or revoked at anytime. This type of trust allows you to change your mind with regard to all aspects of the terms of the trust. These trusts are very flexible.
Uses of a revocable trust:
1. Revocable living trusts avoid probate. The assets in the trust at the time of the death of the individual who made the trust pass directly to the beneficiary. The trust does not have to be probated.
2. It is private document. Wills need to be probated. This opens up the terms of the will to review by a court. Once the will is filed with the courts it becomes a public document and other individuals can obtain copies of the will. An example is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's will in Manhattan. So many people wanted to see it that it was displayed to the public mounted it under plexiglass. The details of your assets and the individuals who receive your assets remain a private matter.
3. It establishes a plan that deals with mental disabilities such as Alzheimer's disease and other mental illnesses that effect seniors. When you place assets in a revocable trust and the person who created the trust becomes disabled, the trustee or alternate trustee supervises the trust and distribution of the assets therein. If you do not have this type of trust or a power of attorney, it becomes necessary for your loved ones or next of kin to bring a guardianship proceeding under article 81 of the New York Mental Hygiene Law to appoint a guardian for you.
Should you have questions regarding revocable trusts contact the trust attorneys at the law office Elliot Schlissel at 1-800-344-6431 or by email.
Recovering from Injuries Caused by Stairway Accidents
June 17, 2010
A property owner has an obligation to make sure that staircases are maintained in a safe condition. It is also the property owner's obligation to see to it that the staircases do not fall into disrepair. Most injuries on staircases are caused when an individual slips, and falls or trips.
Staircases should be clearly marked. Changes in floor surface, modifications in decorations, or even changes in the handrails are ways that people who are walking on stairs are alerted to potential problems. Staircases that are visually confusing or feature distractions, changes in the height or depth of the stairs, or material on the stairs that makes them slippery create potentially dangerous situations. Staircase should be appropriately lit and made with nonslip surfaces.
In the event you, a friend or a loved one trips and falls on a staircase, recovery for the injuries may be possible. Email or call the New York and Long Island slip and fall lawyers at the Law Offices of Elliot Schlissel for a free consultation at 1-800-344-6431.
Recovering from Accidents in the Work Place
June 15, 2010
Work place injuries are quite common. They may result in serious injuries and even death. In the event you receive injuries related the your employment, you maybe entitled to compensation for your injuries. If your employer is responsible, workers compensation could provide you with financial remuneration for your injuries. In the event there are other individuals, companies, or circumstances involved you may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit.
In addition to physical injuries you may suffer psychological and/or emotional injuries for which you may be entitled recovery. In the event an injury leads to your death, your family could be entitled to recovery.
Some injuries can cause permanent disability. Other types of injuries only cause what are known as partial disabilities. A partial disability or impairment may result in your having difficulty performing some aspects of your job. If you receive an injury related to your employment it is very important that you contact experienced knowledgeable attorneys to protect your rights. The New York and Long Island accident attorneys at the Law Office at Elliot Schlissel are here to help you 24/7. Contact us for a free consultation at 1-800-344-6431 or email us.
Alternative Programs for Juvenile Offense Punishment
June 10, 2010
Governor David Patterson has established a juvenile justice task force authorized to investigate circumstances and procedures for sentencing juveniles in the State of New York. The task force has suggested that New York should stop sentencing low risk juvenile offenders to facilities far from their family residences. The task force has suggested in the alternative that they be sent to lower cost community based programs.
The community based programs would closely monitor the juveniles. They would establish mentoring programs for these children. There would be curfew checks, review of school performances and detailed after school programs to keep them busy. The study has shown that low risk juveniles who have been placed in similar programs can be rehabilitated without the need for institutionalization.
The task force recommendations are excellent. However, the State of New York will not be carrying them out. The budget submitted by Governor Patterson does not contain funds or programs that would encourage localities to develop the recommended community based alternative programs.
Under the current system, New York State reimburses localities for about half the cost of operating pretrial detention programs for juveniles. These costs can be as high as $200,000 per child, per year, to incarcerate a juvenile in a large institution. Presently the state has no program to reimburse localities for community based programs. These programs can cost as little as $5,000 per year.
Senator Velmanette Montgomery, a democrat from Brooklyn has proposed a bill in the State Senate to set aside $12 million to encourage programs for juvenile criminal offenders. These bill is a step in the right direction. Hopefully the legislature of the State of New York will approve it.

Should Terrorist Get Miranda Warnings?
June 8, 2010
Miranda warnings given to individuals arrested in th United States are given based upon the United States Supreme Court's decision in Miranda v. Arizona. The Miranda warnings require the police officer, FBI agent or other governmental arresting officer to advise the arrestee that anything they say or do could be held against them, that they have a right to an attorney and if they cannot afford an attorney, an attorney will be appointed for them.
President Obama is considering supporting a law that would either delay or eliminate the Constitutional Miranda warnings when dealing with individuals charged with terrorism. Constitutional attorneys and former prosecutors have discussed a terrorism exception with regard to giving Miranda warnings to individuals arrested for terrorist acts. They suggest a terrorism exception could last up to 48 hours before the Miranda warnings would have to given to the suspect. There has also been a discussion of a statue authorizing emergency detention of individuals suspected of having committed terrorist attacks.
The United States is currently the only country in the world that gives individuals suspected of being charged with crimes various warnings to protect themselves from making statements that could be used against them at trial.
I personally believe that the Miranda warnings are important protections for individuals suspected of committing crimes. However, a 48 hour exception to the Miranda rule should be carved out for suspects charged with terrorist acts. We live in a world in which terrorists seek to take away the basic freedoms that we have fought so hard to protect. This minor exception to the Miranda rule in certain circumstances maybe necessary to protect the lives of Americans against catastrophic terrorist attacks.
Vehicle Searches Incident to Arrest
June 2, 2010
When can police officers search a vehicle? When they are arresting the occupant of the vehicle. In 1981, the United States Supreme Court in the case of New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, stated "when a policeman has made a lawful custodial arrest of the occupant of an automobile, he may as a contemporaneous incident of that arrest, search the passengers compartment of that automobile and any containers therein." The court rendered this decision based upon a "generalization that articles inside the relatively narrow passenger compartment of an automobile are in fact generally within the area in to which an arrestee might reach in order to grab a weapon or evidentiary item." Fran Simmel v. California 395 U.S. 763.
In a decision of April 2009, the United States Supreme Court in the case of Arizona v. Grant narrowed the circumstances under which there can be a search incident to arrest. In the Grant decision the United States Supreme Court stated that police may now search a vehicle incident to the arrest of the occupant of the vehicle only if the person being arrested is "unsecured and within reaching distance of the passenger compartment at the time of the search" or "it is reasonable to believe the (the passenger compartment) contains evidence of the arrest."
The court stated in this decision "when the justifications are absent, a search of the arrestee's vehicle will be unreasonable unless police obtain a warrant or show that another exception to the warrant requirement applies."
In the a situation where the police arrest an individual driving a vehicle, place him custody, in hand cuffs and remove him from the vehicle and place him in the squad car there would be no reason for the police to engage in a warrantless search of the occupants vehicle unless a crime was committed involving contraband or a gun and police were searching for the contraband or gun.
Unfortunately this decision has not filtered down to most police organizations. Police routinely search vehicles when they put an occupant under arrest without justification. The prosecutors then seek to use any evidence obtained from said searches in the prosecution of the driver or other occupant of the vehicle. Based on this new United States Supreme Court decision, motions can be made to preclude the entry into evidence of material obtained through improper searches. If you or a friend or family member have been arrested and a vehicle was improperly searched feel free to give our office a call at 1-800-344-6431 or email us.
Parental Alienation- Wars Between Parents
May 31, 2010
When custody or child visitation issues occur between separated or divorced parents, one or both parents sometimes seek to curry favor with the child or children. The parent takes this action either to ensure that he or she will receive custody or receive child support payments. In addition to currying favor with the child, some parents seek to undermine the relationship between the child and the other parent. When the child develops a strong resistance or rejection of a parent, that is disproportionate to that parent's behavior, and this undermines that parent's relationship with the child, this is referred to as parental alienation syndrome(PAS).
In a Canadian study conducted between 1989 and 2008 involving claims of parental alienation, there were allegations that parental alienation syndrome was present in 175 cases. The study showed that in 106 out of 175 cases, the courts found that there was parental alienation present. In 60% of the cases the mother was the parent involved in alienating the child from the father. In 31% of the cases the father was the parent involved in alienating the child against the mother. The study found that although there were gender differences involved in the alienation of children, mothers were more likely to make unsubstantiated claims of alienation against fathers. The study also found that alienation is most commonly perpetuated by the custodial parent against the noncustodial parent.
In the Canadian study the most common judicial remedy of dealing with parental alienation was to modify the custody arrangement.
Parental alienation is being recognized by the courts in New York more readily then it has been in the past. There is still a reluctance among many judges to use changing custody as a means of addressing this issue. Parental alienation may have the impact of reducing one parents access to visitation with his or her children. The more significant affect of parental alienation is to deprive a child from having a relationship with two loving parents.
Should you have any questions or issues concerning parental alienation feel free to contact Elliot Schlissel, Esquire at Schlissellawfirm.com or 1-800-344-6431.

Browsing Working papers by Subject "utopia"
Now showing items 1-1 of 1
Elgaard Jensen, Torben (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In various ways, this paper makes the counter-intuitive claim that the utopian and the material are thoroughly interdependent, rather than worlds apart. First, through a reading of Thomas More's Utopia, it is argued that Utopia is the product of particular kinds of relations, rather than merely a detachment from the known world. Second, the utopianism of a new economy firm is examined. It is argued that the physical set-up of the firm – in particular the distribution of tables and chairs – evoke a number of alternatives to ordinary work practice. In this way the materialities of the firm are crucial to its persuasive image of being the office of the future. The notion that utopia is achieved through material arrangements is finally related to the analysis of facts and fictions in ANT. It is argued, that even though Utopias are neither fact nor fiction, they are both material and effective on the configuration of networks; Where facts tend to stabilise the network by 'holding' others, Utopias tend to 'push' the network by evoking the possibility of others.

Creepy glue: Dam firm settles in death, dodges questions
The company that keeps Charlottesville unsure whether to laugh or cry over its work on the community's 50-year water plan helped dry some tears in Boston recently. Two years after one of its projects became a deathtrap for a mother of three, Gannett Fleming has apparently agreed to help pay $28 million to the woman's family.
Survivors of 38-year-old Milena Del Valle will receive the money, via a settlement with Gannett Fleming and other companies involved in construction of a flawed auto tunnel in the Big Dig, a mammoth Boston highway project, it was announced the night of September 30.
A passenger in a car driven by her husband, Del Valle died in July 2006, after a nearly three-ton concrete panel in an Interstate 90 connector tunnel fell from the ceiling. Gannett Fleming had designed the ceiling panels and the anchoring system.
Gannett Fleming attempted to defend its system of hanging the heavy panels by anchoring threaded bolts in epoxy-filled holes rather than tying in to structural members. After the suit was filed, blame fell particularly hard on the firm that supplied the epoxy, with Massachusetts charging the fastener firm with manslaughter.
A 132-page report by the National Transportation Safety Board, finding that Gannett Fleming failed to understand that the glue could creep out of the holes, declared that the firm demonstrated "no consideration of the service life of the adhesive anchors."
The state reached a wide-ranging, $458 million settlement with several of the Big Dig's lead construction and design firms in January. The September 30 announcement marked the end of a private lawsuit.
Gannett Fleming's Charlottesville work has not been lethal, but it has been been controversial. In February, before the extent of the controversy became evident, a former Charlottesville City Councilor said, "When they want you to do something, they make the numbers as low as possible. When they don't, they make them as high as possible."
Subsequently, on something Gannett Fleming tried to malign, dredging, private contractors began submitting proposals for as little as one tenth of the company estimate. Then, on September 22, what Gannett Fleming had long touted as a $37 million dam turned out to cost about $100 million.
Reached by telephone one day later, Gannett Fleming engineer Aaron Keno demanded that all questions get submitted in writing, so ten questions were submitted within the hour. Two days later, Keno emailed a brief statement about the company's willingness to help the citizens of Charlottesville.

So what were the questions submitted to the engineer?
"In addition, within the last several years, concrete, steel and fuel, which are all required to construct the project, have experienced dramatic price increases." And this caused 90% decline in the estimates fordredging? I should change my name to Cville Hot Air Dectector.
That's why we love you, Dr. Hong. You are truly a caring, compassionate man - in Johnston & Murphy shoes - who is a joy to come to see...even if the news is bad. If anyone had to deliver bad news to me, I would want it to be you. So even though I'm far away in the middle of corn country, I remember how wonderful you are and wish I was still able to be your patient.

Here, You Throw This Away
I believe strongly in freedom of religion. Let me correct that. I believe strongly in freedom of religions that don't hand out pamphlets.
I don't picture God up there at the temple mount saying, "I give unto you these ten commandments. And this brochure. I've only got this one copy, but if you need more, you can use the corporate account at Kinkos."
I'm writing this column in response to the rash of Jews For Jesus pamphleteers in my neighborhood. I use the word rash not because I view them as a disease, but because I bet they'd go away if I were to repeatedly cover them in ointment.
My problem with Jews For Jesus does not stem from my disagreement with their philosophies. My problem is their open and constant disagreement with mine. I'm Jewish, but I'd be just as annoyed by their presence if I were Christian or Muslim or Zoroastrian. If you've never run into any Jews For Jesus, let me help explain what they're like. Picture your friend who ALWAYS has to be right. Now hand him a stack of pamphlets.
The term "Jews For Jesus" is a bit misleading. You know what Jews For Jesus used to be called? Christians. That's right - someone came up with the idea of fusing the old and new testaments together long before a few guys did it on a subway platform. The term "Jews For Jesus" is an insult to Jews and Christians alike.
By definition, Jews aren't for Jesus. Once a Jew decides he's for Jesus ("goooo, Jesus!"), he becomes a Former Jew That is Now For Jesus. Or the Artist Formerly Known as Jew. The same goes for deciding to worship Buddha or Mohammed or Apollo or Elvis. If you find a new belief system that makes you happy, good for you. But you can't simultaneously keep the old one. In that way, religions are a lot like girlfriends. Unless you want to be struck down, you should really have one at a time.
Jews For Jesus is basically a marketing ploy. It's a way to convince Jews that they can still be Jewish and yet also support Jesus ("goooo, Jesus!"). And while some people may want to have their cake and eat it, too (what's the point of having cake without eating it?), that only works for me if the cake is kosher.
Imagine if there were people out there calling themselves "Christians For Moses." Do you see how ridiculous this notion is? This kind of marketing does not permeate other areas of our lives. There are no Met Fans For Jeter, no Democrats For Bush. Well, Clinton was, but in a different sense of the word (badum!). Most religions are based on the premise that they are divinely correct, and thus they don't need to market themselves. If marketers got their hands on religion, the new testament would have been called "Testament II: This Time, it's Liturgical."
The oddest thing about Jews For Jesus is where they've been handing out their pamphlets. The house call of a Jehovah's Witness makes sense - you're home so you may have some time to re-evaluate the path you've chosen. But I had a Jew For Jesus accost me outside of Shea Stadium. As if I'm going to say, "Maybe if I gave Jesus a shot, Leiter could get his fastball down. Alright, I'm in."
I like my religion - and not just because of all the holidays. I like it because it's mine, and I like yours because it's yours. Any belief system that preaches morality and honor and integrity is a good one, and I don't care if yours and mine don't completely match up. If we're both happy with them, cool. I have no problem with anyone's beliefs, as long as they lay off mine.
If there are any Jews For Jesus reading this and preparing to send me angry letters, then I have done my job. Not because I've made you question your beliefs - but because you'll spend that much less time handing out brochures.

Today, many people of all ages are taking control of their futures by making sure their end-of-life healthcare wishes will be carried out.
An advance directive is a legal document that clearly states, in writing, how you want to be medically cared for if you can no longer speak or act for yourself because of accident or illness.
"You never know when something is going to happen to you. So I think we need to put in order all our decisions about what to do with our body&"
"As a husband and father, choosing to do this ahead of time to let them know that it's okay to think about these things & Nobody wants to think about death or leaving, but this is something that needs to be done. And having it on paper, a legal document, will help them make decisions later."
Two documents make up an advance directive: a living will and a healthcare power of attorney. The living will details what kinds of end-of-life medical treatments you want if you cannot speak or act on your own. The healthcare power of attorney document allows you to assign a trusted friend or family member to make medical decisions for you when you cannot. Make sure to fill out both forms to have a complete advance directive.
"Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Sanborn."
You don't have to have a lawyer to write your own advance directive. But, because advance directive laws are different in every state, you may find one helpful. Your healthcare provider will also know about the specific steps you need to take in your state to complete an advance directive, and can help you.
There are forms available for free on the Internet. Just make sure you fill out forms for your state. Forms are also available at your doctor's office, local hospital, state's attorney's office, nursing homes and even some pharmacies. The next time you have a doctor's appointment, ask about getting the advance directive forms you need. If you are in the hospital and are interested in making an advance directive, talk to the hospital staff about getting more information and about the forms you need to fill out.
By putting your wishes in writing, you are taking steps to make sure you remain in control of your future no matter what the future holds. It's never too early to take control. Do it now, well in advance of any life-threatening event or illness.

washed charcoal cotton chambray in a six-panel newsboy with contrast top-stitching. lightweight, breathable, and versatile.
matching button on top. front of crown is stitched down to peak.
made.to.order in your size with your name in it.
style: 6-panel newsboy
color: charcoal chambray
shell: cotton
lining: cotton
band: cotton
peak: leather stiffener, cotton exterior
The Willis is a six panel newsboy cap based on the Brawler cap, but with slimmer sides and slightly deeper crown. Looks great on both men and women. The leather peak stiffener provides a natural curve that adapts to the handling habits of the wearer yet will not crease or dry out. Each cap is individually handcrafted with strong attention to detail.
If your Willis becomes soiled, I recommend hand washing in cool water with mild soap. Air dry. Do not put your cap in a clothes dryer with the heat on as it may shrink the cap and dry out the leather peak.
To properly determine your cap size, measure the circumference of your head at the widest part, or where your caps generally sit, using a soft measuring tape or string and ruler. See the chart below to determine your size. (Measurements are all +/- 1/8")
I recommend buying a cap that will fit snug (not tight) upon the first wear. With just a little bit of time, the cap will shape and mold to your head, providing the perfect, comfortable fit.
*Everyone wears his or her cap differently and every manufacturer has different size specifications. I developed my size chart based on inch measurement with 3/8" increments between sizes.

Giving Back and Eliminating Childhood Hunger
Over 30 million children across the United States participate in reduced or no-cost school lunch programs, and many of them go without food on the weekends. The CE Shop Foundation is committed to eliminating childhood hunger, and we make a difference through backpack programs. These programs are administered in cooperation with elementary schools and local food banks to ensure that young children have enough food to eat when they're away from school.
Our Partners
We've partnered with Food For Thought, a local non-profit, to collect funds for school-aged backpack programs in Denver, Colorado. Through our partnership, children get the nutritious food they need over the course of a weekend. All donations to The CE Shop Foundation go to hungry children in the Denver region.

In Douglas and Elbert counties, we've partnered with Help & Hope Center, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to people who are in serious economic need, at risk of homelessness, or in a similar crisis. They address immediate needs by consistently providing food and other necessities for homeless, low income, and the working poor in their community.

Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity" is one of those films that lends itself very easily to critical hyperbole. What separates it from the rest of the pack, however, is that it deserves every word.
Alfonso Cuaran's "Gravity" is one of those films that lends itself very easily to critical hyperbole. What separates it from the rest of the pack, however, is that it deserves every word.
The first thing one notices is the overwhelming visual beauty of the film. Emmanuel Lubezki's breathtaking cinematography is the film's centerpiece, leaving the audience adrift in space with the film's two protagonists through a series of long, uninterrupted takes (a Cuaran trademark). But what really lingers is the silence.
In space there is nothing to relay sound, and Cuaran uses this to great effect. As the debris from a broken-up satellite destroys the space shuttle of American astronauts Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) and Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), we see the carnage play out in almost utter silence, broken only by the voices of the astronauts and the occasional use of Steven Price's score.
What little we do hear is muffled, far away, almost as if we are underwater. It's a bold departure from the usual aesthetic of space adventure films, but "Gravity" is something of a blockbuster game changer.
Suddenly without a shuttle and adrift in space, Stone and Kowalski are all each other has, and their only hope of returning back to Earth alive is to stick together, or they risk spinning off into the void of space to certain death.
In an age where summer tent pole movies are reaching marathon lengths of over two and a half hours, "Gravity" runs a lean hour and a half. Cuaran uses his time wisely, and the film doesn't overstay its welcome. It is minute for minute the most exciting film of the year, a briskly paced adventure epic that could have easily been another 30-40 minutes longer with no problem, but Cuaran instead chose it keep it simple, much to his credit.
The film has drawn comparisons to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," although the resemblance is mostly superficial (outside of a clear visual homage with Sandra Bullock floating in a fetal position). Cuaran doesn't quite have the lofty philosophical aspirations of Kubrick's masterpiece, as "Gravity" was first and foremost designed to thrill. His last film, "Children of Men," managed to do both and remains his best work (along with 2001's "Y Tu Mama Tambien"), but there is something to be said for a smartly crafted piece of pure entertainment.
Rarely does the big screen see such powerful exercises in pure cinema. Cuaran is a visionary director, and here he unleashes all of his skill to deliver one of the most awe-inspiring entertainments to come along in years. It is a film that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible, one where the price of the 3-D upgrade is actually worth it. This is the kind of film for which 3-D was made, and lest anyone think this is just a throwaway piece of sci-fi fluff, Bullock delivers the performance of her career, adding emotional heft to the jaw-dropping special effects.
This is blockbuster filmmaking done right, a big screen spectacle on par with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy that isn't afraid to leave lingering questions (I still don't think the ending is exactly what it appears to be). "Gravity" is a wondrous experience, a space epic on a grand and rare scale that is one of this year's can't miss films.

I have copied this over from the discussion area on the private FB page.
RM2E has a lot of skills. Most often they conflict. Example, Stalk/Hide and Perception. I don't care for the rules in the Companion that cover that example and there are no other rules for opposed skill rolls – so I'm making one up.
If you are making a skill roll, resolve as normal, but subtract the skill bonus of your opponent who may be opposing you with a skill. Break 101 as normal, you succeed.
If both you and your opponent are engaged in this at the same time, both of you apply the bonus of the other person's skill as a negative to your skill roll.
One of you will fail. However, in instances where both of you succeed (rare) then the actual rolls will be compared. High roll wins.
I am going to implement this. But your comments are welcome and I will take anything you have to say in to consideration.

Snooki Polizzi Gets Diet Offer After 'South Park' Portrayal
Snooki Gets Diet Offer After 'South Park' Portrayal
Snooki just scored a lucrative offer from a diet company after her gremlin-esque depiction on "South Park" this week ... but the company may not be doing her any favors.
AcaiSupply.com -- a diet company -- claims it's outraged the show mocked Snooki's issues with obesity ... so they've offered Snooks a cut of the profits and a free year's supply in exchange for a "glowing testimonial."
Here's the rub -- the company's letter to Snooki essentially calls her overweight ... and as you may know, she's had serious weight issues ... claiming she "almost died" from anorexia a few years back.
We're guessing Snooks is gonna 86 the deal anyway -- 'cause she's been telling everyone she likes the way she looks on the show.

A quick hello from an ex-r/c aircraft modeller from the midlands UK.
I built a small garden railway last year using peco nickel silver code 100 track, it is just a double track around the edge of my small lawn. It is my first foray into railway modelling and I have bought a few items from Smallbrook in the Emmett style which I am hoping will trundle around the garden on the occasional dry sunny day.

Except for modest increases in tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccination overall and in human papillomavirus vaccination among women, 2011 noninfluenza adult vaccination coverage in the United States showed little improvement compared with 2010 coverage, according to the CDC's Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report(www.cdc.gov) (MMWR).
The agency based its findings on an analysis of data from the 2011 National Health Interview Survey regarding coverage of vaccines recommended for specific adult populations based on age, certain medical conditions, behavioral risk factors (e.g., injection drug use), occupation, travel and other indications.
In an editorial note that accompanied the MMWR report, the CDC said that with little improvement in coverage rates for the pneumococcal, herpes zoster and hepatitis B vaccines, coverage levels among adults remain "unacceptably low" and are well below the respective target levels set by HHS' Healthy People 2020 initiative.
"These data … highlight the need for continuing efforts to increase adult vaccination coverage," the CDC said. "Substantial improvement in adult vaccination is needed to reduce the health consequences of vaccine-preventable diseases among adults."
The CDC defined a "successful vaccination program" as one that combines
- education of potential vaccine recipients and publicity to promote vaccination;
- increased access to vaccination services in medical and complementary settings, such as workplaces and commercial establishments (e.g., pharmacies); and
- use of practices shown to improve vaccination coverage, including reminder-recall systems, efforts to remove administrative and financial barriers to vaccination, use of standing order programs for vaccination, and assessment of practice-level vaccination rates, with feedback to staff members.
The CDC also noted that physician vaccination recommendations are associated with patients actually getting vaccinated.
"Routine assessment of adult patient vaccination needs, recommendation and offer of needed vaccinations for adults should be incorporated into routine clinical care of adults," the CDC said. "The adult immunization schedule, updated annually, provides current recommendations for vaccinating adults and a ready resource for persons who provide health care services for adults in various settings."

A Tisha BAv Rendezvous
The wedding of a child of D. L., a one-time student of the Hebrew-speaking department of Yeshivat Ohr Somayach in Jerusalem, who is today the head of a kollel, brought back memories of the unusual way this Torah scholar found his way to Torah Judaism.
Raised in a very secular kibbutz, he had virtually no knowledge of Jewish tradition. One Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av when Jews fast night and day and mourn the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash, he passed a synagogue while visiting Haifa. Out of curiosity he peeked inside the hall from which wailing sounds could be heard. When he saw the congregants sitting on the floor reading Lamentations, he asked one of them what the meaning of all this was. He was invited to sit down and hear an explanation of the day and the laws and customs associated with it.
This experience aroused his curiosity about Torah Judaism, and eventually led him to Ohr Somayach. It was only at a later stage that he took a serious look at the family tree so revered by his parents, and discovered that he was a descendant of the great Chassidic leader known as the Chozeh of Lublin. What came as an even greater surprise was the discovery that the Yahrzeit (day of death) of the Chozeh was on Tisha B'Av, the day that his descendant came to life.

Shelburne County (Nova Scotia) Archives and Genealogical Society Newsletter
The summer issue of their newsletter arrived with some sad news – the retirement of Canadian genealogist, Eleanor Smith.
I have known Eleanor since the early 1990s, and she was always been most helpful in my many projects (especially the Port Roseway Associated Loyalists). She was always willing to explain Shelburne County genealogy to me, and I will always be grateful for that.
She wrote a number of books - Loyalist Foods in Today's Recipes; Land of my Fathers, Vol 1 & 2; and Descendants of Alexander and Agnes (Hamilton) Hogg Family of Nova Scotia. She edited Lost Mariners Vol 1, and co-authored The Veterans of Shelburne County: A Memorial Vol One and Two. They are available at the SCA&GC website at http://nsgna.ednet.ns.ca/shelburne.
I interviewed her in 2009, and it was published in the May/June 2010 issue of Internet Genealogy under the title of "Going Back to Her Roots: Eleanor Robertson Smith".
In the Family Bible section of the newsletter, they have reprinted marriages, births, and deaths from the King family of Shelburne, and in the article, "News from Yesterday", they have excerpts from The Coast Guard, Clark's Harbour and Yarmouth, 5 May, 1809 newspaper.
The last article is an excerpt of the book by Gerald MacApline called "Mason's Division Stories of Jordan Bay and Jordan Ferry in Shelburne County" in which he talks about the great forest fire that swept through the village of Roseway in August, 1911, and how the Halifax newspapers spearheaded donations to the county.

This fine piece in Wired about a "perpetual window into Gmail" caught my attention this weekend for two reasons.
First, I live in Gmail. It's my primary, personal email haven. Second, considering the data-sucking sounds Path made this month, the idea that Google has left open some potentially serious paths to users' data is alarming.
Here's the rub: Oauth, the standard that lets users grant Web apps permission to connect to another without having to type in a user name and password every time, has made it so simple for users to federate access between Web services that people aren't preserving their privacy any longer.
With people connecting dozens of apps to their Google, Facebook and Twitter accounts, it opens up security risks.
Further reading
However, said Wired, Gmail is the worst transgressor. Services connected to Gmail via Oauth are issued a token that gives unlimited access to your complete Gmail history."
Updated: Thanks to Wired, I can trace the apps I gave permission to talk to my Google account
Gmail account. Though Gmail isn't among my list, this still gives me a good idea of all the little tunnels I've potentially created for my Google account.
Now, it's not that I think these apps, many of which are also made by Google, will abuse my privacy or hijack my data for malicious purposes.
But as Wired sagely noted, some of these apps are built by college kids, part-time workers or even employees with less than honorable intentions:
"Any of these services becomes the weakest link to access the email for thousands of users. If one's hacked or the list of tokens leaked, everyone who ever used that service risks exposing his complete Gmail archive."
It sucks to think that
I and so many others have opened dozens or hundreds of little vulnerabilities. I've They've inadvertently, though willingly for convenience sake, created dozens of paths for perpetrators to exploit to access their Gmail--if someone so desired.
If those apps they connect Gmail with are hacked, cracked, hijacked or otherwise misused ... well, there's their Gmail data for anyone to see. And they wouldn't ever even know about it if the perp was careful and devious enough.
I guess we should be grateful Google has a link next to each app that will let users revoke access for the app to Gmail. Users can also change their passwords to revoke Oauth token access.
Even so, it's a disturbing thought. Are you concerned, or is this overblown?

It's your boy Lil B
I'mma tell it like this:
When I get I tracks I choose..
And it's very rare, if I get on your song you're lucky!
[Verse 1 - Lil B]
Nigga keep the lean right up under the speakers
Certified street nigga, bruh, you couldn't believe it
Quit fucking with me, you know I got the AK
Wait a second bitch, you know I got the 50
In New York I had a talk with 50
Real street nigga made a freak 360
Forever be a thug and I'll forever be 6th street
Forever be 7th, you niggas got me fucked up
Because I'm positive you niggas think that I'm a sucker
Til I pull that 9 out and have you sleeping in the river
My old G said "B you better dump the bitch!
How you got a girlfriend and you don't even love yourself?"
Now I understand: wisdom over knowledge
Bossed up nigga and I ain't even went to college
And I ain't dissin niggas mad at my opinion
Wishing I'mma fall, people hating from a distance
But they don't really know I got the forward simulation
Pull 211, make your whores stripping
Nigga look back, I never Scott Pippen
Michael Jordan king of the forest
And after this, Scottie Pippen rich
Don't compare me to them other little kids
I got more hustle than a girl selling houses
Dope up in the roof, nigga skiing over mountains
Dope up in my nose and I'm looking like a skeleton
Depressed in the hood, it's worse than it's ever been
Dear Lord, please protect me from the Devil
It's these motherfuckas actin' like we friends but they hatin' me
Word to my mom, I won't let the game break me
Million Dollar Spot, I'll put the money where the breaks be
All up on the the block with my heart in...
Thank God I stay free: angel's prayer

"We don't look at Derrick as a freshman," said Memphis's Joey Dorsey of Derrick Rose, who scored 25 points in that win over UCLA. And for some reason, a reporter asking Dorsey what they think of Rose as a freshman playing well, prompted Rose — standing two seats over — to lay out a little hot-mic expletive.
Now one has to wonder what Rose was afraid his teammate was going to say about him. "What do we think of him? I mean, once you get past the premature ejaculating and toenail eating, he's a pretty nice kid who can make things happen on the court. It's a good thing too, we almost forgot his Cabbage Patch Kid doll on the trip. That really would have put us at a disadvantage tonight."
Derrick Rose Does His Best Clay Davis Impression [The Sporting News]
(Aside: Snipped from this 30 seconds of press conference goodness was John Calipari using my favorite noncommittal phrase. "There ya go." It can basically get one out of any situation without breaking a promise, lying, or letting someone down. "Hey, maybe we could go to my sister's volleyball game after dinner." It's almost instinctual, the reaction. But in this case it's the cynic's catch-all safety valve. Just a remarkable phrase all around.)

I'm Back…Sort of46 Comments
I'm sorry I have been gone from my blog for awhile. My Mom passed away so not only was food the last thing on my mind but we all traveled up to upstate NY for her funeral. We got back yesterday.
It's going to take me a couple of weeks to get back into cooking and thinking about food and I'll be back to posting then.

DIY Hummingbird SolutionLeave a comment
This is a very easy "recipe" if you want to make your own food for hummers. Don't use any food coloring to turn it red ~ they don't need it and it's really not good for the birds (at least that's what I have been told by birders).
I put my feeders out late on Saturday and the hummers were feeding by Sunday morning.
The pictures are of my feeders!
DIY Hummingbird Solution
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups water
Mix sugar into water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside until completely cool. Fill feeders. If there is any left store in the refrigerator and use within a week.
I always double this recipe for 2 feeders and I never have any leftover.

Easy Frittata ~ PW StyleLeave a comment
We LOVE frittatas. They are a perfect dish to make when I don't feel like cooking much. This recipe comes from the Pioneer Woman.
This frittata was super easy to make and you can use whatever veggies you happen to have hanging around or need to get rid of. I added mushrooms and left out the olives and spinach instead of kale.
Easy Frittata ~ PW Style
12 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese ~ use more if you like
2-3 dashes of hot sauce
3 tbsps butter
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1 baked potato, cooled and diced
2 cups fresh baby spinach or kale leaves
2 whole roasted red peppers from a jar, thinly sliced
8 ozs mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped black olives
Preheat your oven to 375º.
Whisk the eggs together with the salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese and hot sauce. Set aside.
In an oven proof skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and saute until soft and golden. Add mushrooms and saute until soft. Add potato and saute with the onion and mushrooms for a few minutes. Add the spinach and continue sauteing. Finally, add the red peppers and olives and continue cooking until all ingredients are hot.
Pour in the eggs tilting pan carefully until all ingredients are coated. Let it sit on the burner for a few seconds until the edges begin to cook. Put the skillet in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the eggs are well cooked and frittata is beginning to brown. Mine took about 20 to get the eggs cooked they way we like them.
Slide onto a cutting board or platter and cut into wedges.
Makes 8 servings.

Chicken Enchilada Pasta BakeLeave a comment
This recipe intrigued me. It really is nothing like enchiladas except in the taste ~ and the taste is fantastic!
I found a couple of recipes for this dish and both were just a little different from the other but this particular recipe is the one I chose. I did add a can of black beans just because I like them. I did make my own enchilada sauce ~ recipe HERE!
The recipe used up the entire jar of sauce I made so I remade it the next day so I could add some when I reheated it so the casserole wouldn't totally dry out. If you would prefer to use beef, I think it would work.
Chicken Enchilada Pasta Bake
1 lb penne pasta, cooked and drained
1 tbsp olive oil
1 whole red onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
1 (8 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with chilis
1 pkg taco seasoning or use your own taco mix ~ I used HOT
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
2 can red enchilada sauce ~ or use THIS RECIPE
2 cups shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
optional toppings like avocado, fresh, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, tortilla chips
Preheat oven to 350º.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the onions and peppers until soft. Add the chopped chicken, can of tomatoes, salt and pepper, black beans, and taco seasoning and heat through. Add in 1 cup of the enchilada sauce and 1 cup of the cheese and mix. Remove from heat and add in all the penne and mix thoroughly.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Spoon the pasta mixture over the top of the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and bake, covered, for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and remove cover. Top with remaining 1 cup of cheese and return to oven, uncovered, to bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top with your favorite toppings.
Makes 6 servings.

Very Easy Enchilada Sauce4 Comments
I came across an enchilada pasta bake a few weeks ago on pinterest and along with that recipe was a recipe for enchilada sauce. The ingredients were some that I already had in my pantry so I gave it a shot. Anything is better than the stuff in the can. It was so easy to make and tasted fantastic! I used it all for my pasta bake and then I made it again when I reheated the pasta bake to add into the casserole so it wouldn't dry out.
With Cinco de Mayo coming up, give this a try if you are making enchiladas. It's fantastic!
Red Enchilada Sauce
2 tbsps canola oil
2 tbsps flour
4 tbsps chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp oregano
2 cups chicken broth
In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the flour and stir over the heat for one minute.
Stir in all the rest of the spices. Gradually add the broth and whisk constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thick.
Use immediately or store in a container in the refrigerator for no longer than 2 weeks.
Makes 2 cups.
