Unsatisfied with the regulation of commercial cyclists, a group of Upper East Side residents took matters into their own hands.
For a few evenings last month, members of the East 72nd Street Neighborhood Association stood in the lobbies of five Upper East Side buildings, monitoring the bike delivery persons that came and went. After evaluating the information they collected, they compiled a report card rating restaurants by their messengers' adherence to laws and regulations.
"Commercial cycling has been a real problem on the Upper East Side," Valerie Mason, the association's president, said. "There's a real density of population. People do a lot of takeout, so these guys are very visible."
The neighborhood association's survey took place on the evenings of Nov. 15-17, with the group noting whether delivery riders wore reflective vests, displayed identification or used electric bicycles.
Delivery riders using electric bikes, which are illegal but nonetheless common, merited their restaurants an automatic F. In all, nearly half — 29 out of 64 restaurants — failed.
Just four restaurants got A grades. Their delivery persons were wearing vests with proper identification and were using bikes without motors. Riders lacking vests and other safety features earned their affiliated restaurants B and C grades.
Mason said the survey's goal was to "come up with something that will make these cyclists obey the law." The group also canvassed from 68th to 78th Streets between York and Third Avenues, noting restaurants that had electric bicycles stationed nearby.
Mason said that residents in her Upper East Side neighborhood often complain that commercial cyclists are riding in the wrong direction and breaking other road rules. Because police can only dedicate so much time and manpower to ticketing lawbreakers, the neighborhood association decided to take on this project "to see if what we were seeing anecdotally we could really see analytically," Mason said.
The city's Department of Transportation declined to comment for this article.
Cafe Evergreen received an F grade, but its owner, Frank Moy, denied that his First Avenue establishment employs delivery messengers who use electric bikes. "I have no idea what kind of a statement people make, but we've always been trying to comply with regulations," Moy said, adding that his cyclists also have vests with proper identification. "We do the best we can."
Sophie's Cuban, on East 68th Street, also received a failing grade, but its owner, Mike Mendoza, said he is careful to abide by the rules. "All my delivery guys have vests and have numbers," Mendoza said. He acknowledged that two of his messengers have electric bikes, but said he has asked them both to remove the battery that powers the illegal motor.
"I think one of them actually got pulled over by a cop and he came and told me what happened," he said. "I didn't get a chance to follow up with the precinct, but I said if that's what the cop told you to, make sure that you do that. Both the folks with e-bikes don't have the battery pack on the bike, so it's essentially like a regular bike." Mendoza and Moy said they have had their messengers attend workshops held by the Department of Transportation on proper commercial cyclist conduct.
Council Member Ben Kallos, who represents the area, said some restaurants may count fines for e-bikes as part of the cost of doing business. "I've made a very simple request going on two years now saying 'I'd like [residents] to no longer accept deliveries from people who show up with e-bikes," he said. "Ultimately I think that if a restaurant gets fined $100, that's the cost of doing business but if they lose 100 customers in a night, that has an impact." While his office did not assist in the data collection of data, Kallos said he fully supports the idea of the survey and would suggest it to other communities that feel they have a commercial cycling problem. "Hopefully other neighborhood associations in this district, as well as around the city, will see this as a model and start working so that instead of just complaining about e-bikes people are actually empowered to do something about it," he said.
Mason said her organization isn't "against cyclists," and was quick to say she didn't want to resort to ending her patronage at the poorer scoring restaurants. Mason was recently hit by an electric bike in Queens, and wants everything possible to be done to increase her neighborhood's safety. Ideally, Mason would like to see the Department of Health include adherence to commercial cycling rules in their letter grades for restaurants. "We're hoping that the restaurant community will be responsive," she said. "We want to keep the restaurants in business."

A $2,000 scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding "Little" who is graduating High school and entering college or technical school.

What is a major difference in children of this generation and children of the past?
Children today do not live in a 3D world. Think of life before television; what did children do? I'm sure when not working or doing chores to help the household, they created their own toys, their own games, and they ran around being a part of nature. Essentially, they were active and engaging all of their senses and enhancing their motor skills. They were living in and experiencing their worlds.
Children today spend a lot of time living in a 2D world. What does that mean? How much time is spent by today's youth playing video and computer games and watching TV. What about all of the apps that claim to help children increase academic performance? My philosophy is it still is not as stimulating as experiencing real life! Watching a screen is passive, even if it claims to be interactive! It is still sitting down and looking at a 2D object.

Up for reelection in November, Ducey faced the dilemma ensnaring other Republicans in 2018: avoid angering Trump, who has a viselike grip on the party, while placating the GOP establishment epitomized by McCain, who dominated state politics for more than three decades.
"Jon Kyl is a safe choice for Governor Ducey as he tries to balance his reelection and the McCain and Trump factions of the Arizona Republican Party," said Dan Eberhart, an Arizona-based Republican donor. "Senator Kyl is filling the shoes of John McCain and Barry Goldwater before him. That is much easier said than done, but he is a very high-quality, consensus pick."
Kyl, 76, said he was willing to serve through at least the end of the current Congress, injecting a degree of uncertainty about the future of the seat. If Kyl leaves in January, Ducey or his successor must appoint a Republican to fill the seat, according to state law.
Once he is sworn in Wednesday, Kyl will cast crucial votes in the coming weeks on Kavanaugh's nomination, government spending and possibly billions for a U.S.-Mexico border wall, and perhaps another round of tax cuts.
If he remains through 2020, he could face a vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act, which the GOP failed to scuttle in 2017 largely because of McCain's thumbs-down.
Ducey's choice of Kyl comes after an emotional week.
Ducey asked Kyl if he would accept the appointment on Aug. 25, the day that McCain died, according to two people close to the governor. Kyl tentatively said he would but added that he needed to check with his wife, Caryll. Within days, he said he was a firm yes.
Kyl confirmed the details recounted by the people close to the governor, calling them "essentially correct."
Trump had sparked outrage after he initially refused to issue a statement lauding the Vietnam POW as a "hero" and keep flags lowered to half-staff until his interment on Sunday. He later reversed course, but several of McCain's longtime colleagues, family members and other allies heaped criticism on the president — directly and indirectly — over five days of services honoring McCain's life, culminating in a scathing denunciation of Trump by the senator's daughter Meghan McCain during a tearful eulogy at Washington National Cathedral.
By Tuesday evening, it was clear that Ducey's appointment of Kyl had succeeded in bringing about a rare moment of harmony, with Trump, McCain's family and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a vocal critic of the president, praising the move.
"Jon Kyl will be an extraordinary Senator representing an extraordinary state, Arizona," Trump said in a tweet congratulating Kyl. "I look forward to working with him!"
Both Meghan McCain and her mother, Cindy, tweeted their support for Kyl, whom they described as a friend of the family and a statesman who is well suited to take up McCain's mantle in the Senate.
Kyl served alongside McCain in the Senate from 1995 until 2013, rose to the No. 2 GOP leadership post and was a consistent conservative vote. Since his retirement, he has worked as a lobbyist for pharmaceutical and defense companies, among others, records show.
At a news conference announcing his choice on Tuesday, Ducey declared that there is "no one in Arizona with the stature of Senator Jon Kyl."
With McCain's passing, the Senate has lost a voice that served as a strong check on Trump's actions. Those who know Kyl say he is more likely to be a bridge-builder than a Trump antagonist along the lines of McCain, Flake or Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).
"That's not his style," former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) said when asked whether Kyl will be as fiercely outspoken as McCain and other Trump critics. "He sees things as they are and tries to make them better."
That doesn't mean that Kyl won't have a stern word or two for Trump. Since he retired in 2013, the Arizona Republican has registered more concern about the president than most sitting Republican senators.
In a February interview with Phoenix-based radio station KJZZ, Kyl described Trump as a "phenomenon that has to be dealt with" and took aim at his combative manner. "I don't like his style. Much of it is boorish. I think he's his own worst enemy," Kyl said of Trump, adding that he "could be much more effective if he were more politic, more diplomatic."
In remarks last week at a memorial service for McCain at the Arizona State Capitol, Kyl also made what many interpreted as a swipe at Trump's overly friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"When others were looking into Vladimir Putin's eyes, with an eye of understanding him and reaching accommodation with him, John, of course, said: I looked into his eyes and saw KGB," Kyl said.
Kyl said Tuesday that he stood by his previous remarks about Trump, though he struck a somewhat softer tone.
"I think sometimes, his desire to jump into the middle of a fight or maybe even create a fight — by the way, that reminds me of somebody — but sometimes, that can be detrimental to what he's trying to achieve," Kyl said, in what appeared to be a veiled comparison to McCain.
He added that he doesn't "really have a relationship with President Trump" and only met him once, several months ago. Still, he said he was honored to be supporting Kavanaugh's nomination.
The governor informed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) about his decision early last week, according to two other people familiar with the situation. Beyond that, Ducey and his allies held the choice very close in the days leading up to the public announcement.
It was only on Tuesday morning that they gave the White House a heads-up on the selection, according to one of the Republicans close to Ducey. And Ducey told Cindy McCain about his pick Tuesday morning. A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when they learned of the choice.
Ducey made his selection primarily on the basis of Kyl's reputation and ability to hit the ground running in the Senate, one of the people close to him said. But inside his orbit, there was also a recognition that he could appeal to a broad slice of what has become an increasingly divided Republican Party.
People describing the behind-the-scenes discussions spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive private conversations.
Kyl's appointment to the Senate comes after he ruled out a return to Congress in his February interview with the Phoenix radio station.
"No," Kyl said flatly when asked whether he might one day serve again. "And I don't wish I was still there."
Lott said he was surprised by his former colleague's decision but that it was in keeping with his character.
"It's typical of Jon," Lott said. "He's doing it for the cause."

irobi, Dec 2: A Kenyan athlete on Friday denied receiving over $7,600 in overseas allowances from the government despite not competing in the Rio 2016 Olympics Games in Brazil.
London 2012 Olympics men 5000m bronze winner, Thomas Pkemei Longosiwa, was among four runners listed in the government-appointed Rio 2016 Probe Committee findings as having received allowances fraudulently without making the travelling party for the August Summer Games in Brazil, reports Xinhua.
Stung by the reports, Longosiwa said he was ready to produce his bank statements to prove he did not receive any overseas allowances complaining his me may have been used to withdraw money from the Kenyan Olympics kitty by wayward officials at the Ministry of Sports, Arts and Culture.
Longosiwa, 34, who won bronze at the 2015 All African Games was called up in the provisiol squad for the Rio Games but did not make the fil cut, admitting he was paid local allowances and receiving some official Team Kenya kit.
"This is meant to tarnish my me and I will not allow anyone to get away with using athletes for selfish gain. Initially, I was called for the camp but eventually there was no communication from the officials as to whether or not I was part of the team.
"How can they say I was paid oversees allowances yet I didn't know about their travel arrangements?" the bitter long distance runner lamented.
"They kept telling me I was going (to Rio) until the last minute when they were issuing flight tickets. It is only then that I found out that they did not have my ticket. I sought clarification from Coach Julius Kirwa who assured me that my issue would be resolved and that it was merely a hitch. They took me round in circles until I filly realised I wasn't going to travel," he claimed.
"I would like the truth to come out, because this is really soiling my me. Everyone should carry his or her own cross. Whenever I tried inquiring about the travelling issue I was treated coldly as an enemy. "I thought and said to myself that I'm not an upcoming athlete and have been in this field for a long time, so I could not cry over not travelling to the Olympics," Longosiwa who made the provisiol squad by finishing fourth at the Kenyan Olympics Trials in July, added. The probe committee report that is yet to be officially released cited him alongside All-Africa Games 400m silver medalist Boniface Mweresa, Kiprono Kosgei and government official Maurine Mutuku as having received overseas allowances yet they did not travel to Brazil. However, the government official who fell ill on the eve of travelling to Rio, returned her money to the state. IANS

How corporate training and development leads to the success of your business?
- 10 November 2016
- Written by: bemelmans
- Categories: E-Learning, Procurement, Supply Chain
The fast-paced and ever changing corporate world needs training and development programs to keep up with different challenges. The annual report that analyzes the 'FORTUNE 100 best companies to work for' states that the 100 best companies are committed to employee development as a top strategic priority. Employees are considered to be the most valuable asset of a company and investing in their training further enhances their capabilities and productivity. A three-year researched project commissioned by Middlesex University's institute for work based learning found that from a 4300 workers sample, 74% felt that they were not achieving their full potential at work due to lack of development opportunities.
The result of this research highlights the importance of training and development to ensure successful business continuity. There is a myriad of benefits that companies enjoy by incorporating training and development in their strategic plans, some are more obvious than others: Sales and product knowledge training leads to increased revenue and market share, service training leads to better customer service experience and brand loyalty, innovation training generates new ways of thinking, potentially leading to new products and services.
Here are 10 more ways how training and development can positively impact an organization:
- Achieving a sustainable competitive advantage
One of the main challenges of a company is to stay ahead of its competitors. Developing a competitive advantage can be tedious. Different strategies need to be implemented to stand out of the crowd. Training and development plays a big role to make a real difference. By making sure that staffs are constantly progressing, the company automatically gains more value and continues to move forward with a strong position in the market.
- Ensuring employee satisfaction
Training has been found to link with improving job satisfaction and employee intention to stay in a company. It has a direct impact on motivation which reduces employee turnover and increases productivity. This leads to more profitability. In other words, investing time and money in employees make them feel more valued, leading to a positive relationship between company and worker.
- More internal promotion opportunities
Let's face it: recruiting new employees often involves additional costs. With the implementation of training, your existing staff becomes more eligible for internal promotion. This can be a real advantage as unlike new staffs, existing employees have better insights about the organization along with the required skills. They are people with whom you already have a certain trust and they already know how the company operates.
- Tackle Shortcomings
Training and development is the best way to figure out what are the skill gaps in your company. For instance, at Procurement and Supply Chain Academy, individual learning plans are assigned to employees, following an in-depth buyer assessment and gap analysis. This allows each buyer to get a clear picture of which competences need training and how much. This critical overview allows managers to determine whether the employees have the necessary skills to meet the company's objective. In this way, skills shortcomings are tackled and improved for more productivity.
- Employee retention
Studies have shown that 60% of employees would opt to stay with an employer that invests in their professional development, rather than go to an employer that pays more but does not invest in professional development. It is indispensable to keep employees engaged at work. Higher retention rates and less labor turnover is crucial for the success of your business. All this can happen with a good training and development plan to keep the employees motivated. Besides, the cost of retaining existing employees is much less than replacing them. According to CED Magazine seven out of ten respondents in a 2015 survey said that job-related training and development opportunities directly influence their decision to stay in a company.
- Increasing Productivity
It is no surprise that training and development naturally leads to more productivity. By making sure that necessary training is given to employees to improve their skills, the company is in turn ensuring a higher productivity rate. Well trained employees show both quality and quantity performance. This leads to less wastage of time, resources and money.
- Attracting the best employees
Every company wants the best employees for greater chance of success. Training and development is a way to attract new talents since it is a key feature people usually look for during their job search. Training incentives create a positive image for the company and this definitely has an impact on potential candidates for a future job vacancy.
- Implementing latest technology
Technology is constantly evolving and companies need to ensure that employees are using the latest technology at its full potential. Technology is giving businesses the ability to boost communication and coordination of purchases. If applied efficiently, it has the capacity to increase revenue and significantly reduce costs. Companies have already gone a long way as far as implementing new technologies is concerned but there is more to go. This is why ongoing training about new technologies needs to be implemented for the best results.
- Optimizing time and effort
By providing training to the employees, employers are actually optimizing their own time and effort. Appropriate training of employees enhances their skills and knowledge about their respective jobs which means that less supervision is needed. In this way, employees have a better understanding of how to deal with their job responsibilities efficiently and effectively for more productivity.
- Keeping up with industry changes
It is essential to make sure that your staffs are updated about industry changes. Ongoing training helps them to stay aware of what's happening in the industry. This will allow the business to avoid being left behind and comply with any industry regulation. Therefore, staffs knowledge and skills about this matter need to be up-to date.
Training and development benefits not only the employees' personal evolution but also impacts on the company's productivity and profitability as a whole. It reinforces the goodwill of the business, allows it to maintain the competitive edge and leads to higher customer satisfaction, lower costs and faster growth. At the end of the day, the most valuable training aligns the employees' way of working to the company's own culture and core objectives.

Lonely nights; empty days, use me up so many ways.
You came along and stole my heart away.
I just wanna hold you darlin', tonight,
knowin' that the love between us is right.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.
What can I say? What can I do? I'm so in love with you.
Got to be strong; but, for how long must I have this feeling?
Won't go away.
Take me back to yesterday, I just wanna fade away
Closer to you that what we used to be.
Are we really gonna let it die? Close the book and give it one more try.
I can't believe that you'd ever let me go; oh, no.

I think most of you have heard of Lean Startups and maybe also UX for Lean Startups. Ok if not I will explain it shortly.
In Lean Startup you use something called hypothesis instead of User Stories if using Kanban or any other tools. The main different with a hypothesis regarding a User Story is mostly the way you describe it and its purpose. A user story template often look like this
As a <type of user>, I want <some goal> so that <some reason>.
User stories are short, simple descriptions of a feature told from the perspective of the person who desires the new capability, usually a user or customer of the system.
In Lean startups you use hypothesis that is an assumption when user story is not.
Lean Startup strategies are designed to test assumptions about customers and the market target.
While User Stories are the description of a technical solution that we can test in our system then Lean hypothesis is a description of an assumption we need to test on the market, the users.
The template looks something like this:
I believe [target market] will [do this action / use this solution] for [this reason].
You simple add that description on your card (post-it) or digital Kanban board. I often want different colors on my cards to increase the visualization better. Bugs are red cards, things I need to look up maybe blue cards, user story a yellow card and hypothesis maybe green and so on. I want fast feedback what's going on when I look at a Kanban board that's why I add more visualization to it so I don't need to spend too much time understand what's going on in this sprint or iteration.
In Microsoft TFS Online you can't change the color of the cards based on card types when this blog-post is written (2015 Oct 9). But you can change colors on the card based on styling rules in TFS Online. The cool thing with styling rule is that you can add criteria based on mostly anything that exist on a card and make it show up in different colors. In this case I use Tags and the contains criteria in this demo to add another color to my hypothesis cards. I will show you how to do this in TFS Online.
First of all open you TFS Online project. Add a card. In this case I added my first hypothesis .
Then go to the board settings (The icon in the right corner (1)).
Go to the Style option (2) and add a new rule (3).
After that just add your criteria. Remember that you can add many different criteria. In my case I will first add a criteria for a tag. And next add a criteria that check if title contains some words. Like the words "I believe" as the hypothesis template starts with.
On the image above I added a rule based on tags. If the tag HYP is added then show green card.
Next image show you how it can look like if the criteria contains text in the title .
If using Tags make sure you add your tag to the card.
If you used the "contains" criteria just save the settings. And the card will end up green on the board.
That's it… Happy playing around.

Figuring it out
I made a mistake in how I set up a system for the team. And I was afraid I'd lose a bunch of work they had done. But I figured it out. I didn't give up. And we didn't lose the work.
The end of an era with a couple buddies. Not a lot of friends came but oh well. It was okay. Also I'm grateful for the reminder that I do not plan things with Amazon people because they are mostly fickle. Instead…it's one on one stuff…or just let others plan it and I show up. Good reminder and glad to not be upset but grateful for that reminder. 🙂
Got to come straight home. Organize myself. And rest. It was brilliant and beautiful. So grateful for a lovely evening at home to start this time off.

Many RVers like to take their furry friends with them on the road, but keeping pets properly hydrated in an RV, especially during travel, can pose a challenge. Conventional water bowls slosh and spill easily, and do nothing to filter water that may have come from an unknown source. The TORUS water bowl by New Zealand-based Heyrex uses its walls as a water reservoir to ensure an ample water supply, keeping the water free of dust and other contaminants. The reservoir automatically replenishes the bowl to a low-slosh level, and even filters it with a replaceable active carbon filter. Two sizes are offered: two liters ($59.95) and one liter ($54.95). TORUS is PBA-free, comes with a 12-month warranty and does not require a power source. Available from a number of online retailers.

Guard Targeted in Armed Robbery
Remember, the threat during an armed robbery isn't to the money or possessions; armed robbers are threatening your life. Your Active Self Protection is far more about life than possessions, but if you're going to resist an armed robbery you MUST do so with ferocity and intelligence!
If you value what we do at ASP, would you consider becoming an ASP Patron Member to support the work it takes to make the narrated videos like this armed robbery? https://get-asp.com/patron gives the details.
News story with some details on the armed robbery (Google Translate required): https://get-asp.com/efqw
What does this video teach us about defending ourselves against an armed robbery?
- Many times an attacker will give pre-attack cues during the "warmup" phase of an armed robbery that defenders can use to anticipate what is coming. One of the most common is looking around, either for witnesses or for escape routes. If you're interviewing/being interviewed, and in your talk notice someone who exhibits other danger signs looking left and right away from you, consider that a significant clue that something is wrong and place yourself in the best possible place to avert or deal with the potential attack.
- The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but the hands are the windows to the intent of a person (and the source of danger in an armed robbery). If you're in a potential conflict, ALWAYS pay attention to what the aggressor is doing with their hands. They might have a force multiplier in their hand, or they might be hiding their hand so that you can't see what is in it or using their hand to conceal something. If their hands are empty, there is a difference between someone with fists and someone whose hands are open and relaxed. As a self-defender your situational awareness must include seeing the hands of any potential threat in your vicinity, so watch the hands!
- If you know there might be danger around (and as a bank guard, there is always danger around and an armed robbery is a more likely event for you), you cannot stand there flat-footed with your hands at your side. That's a great way to die. Instead, if you think danger might be coming but not imminent, get your hands up protecting your head, neck, and chest. I do this by tucking one hand under the other elbow, and the free hand on my chin as if I were in deep contemplation. Others do it using the "interview position" with both hands as if they're holding a pad and pen. Getting your hands up shaves split seconds off your reaction time, but that might make the difference between life and death if you can prepare.
- The "Five Ds Plus 1" are a tool that we use at ASP to organize our training and preparation for defending ourselves against an armed robbery when we are not armed ourselves. (or if we are armed but outdrawn such that we must deal with the problem with our hands) First, before the others, we need to control Distance. (it's the plus 1…it stands by itself and is the gateway to the others working) Then Deflect, Dominate, Distract, Disarm, Disable. We pursue them from first to last, in order, to give us the best chance of successfully defending ourselves against an armed opponent. Close the Distance to the place where we can effectively use our empty-handed skills. Deflect their force multiplier, Dominate as much as possible (best is the whole person, second is the arm with the tool, last is the tool itself), Distract the attacker (usually using pain, redirection, movement, etc.), Disarm the attacker, and Disable the attacker.
- Spiritual fitness is an important part of Active Self Protection against an armed robbery or any attack. You don't often get any advance notice of the last day of your life, but we see over and over that self-defense isn't a guarantee of winning every fight you might be placed in. You want to be at peace with your loved ones and with God, because you'll need that peace on the day that you meet Him. Since you can't guarantee advanced notice, make peace today.

Miley Cyrus may have a TV role in her future on Two and a Half Men, her first stint on the small screen since hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2011 and the first scripted television show since she was Hannah Montana, but her co-star doesn't know much about it.
The singer will reportedly play the love interest of Angus T. Jones on the show, CeleBuzz reported. With her role on Hannah Montana having ended along with the show last year, Miley Cyrus' new TV role will mark her return to the world of television comedy.
Miley Cyrus will play the role of Missi, a friend of Ashton Kutcher's character Walden, who comes to visit for a two-episode arc. She meet's Jones' character, Jake, who is on leave from the Army, and the two develop a relationship.
Aside from Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has had a number of roles coming up. She appeared in the film LOL and also completed production on So Undercover, which also features Jeremy Piven and Joshua Bowman.
Though Miley Cyrus' TV role has been making headlines, her reported on-screen love interest told E! News that he doesn't have any knowledge of Miley Cyrus role on the show.
"Honestly, they don't tell me anything about what the future shows are going to be," Jones said while promoting The Creative Coalition at the Republican National Convention in Tampa. "But if that's what's going to happen it will be cool. I've met her a few times before and it would be fun to work with her."
Jones did say he was enthusiastic for what Miley Cyrus could bring to the show.
"Whatever it's going to be, it's going to be interesting," he said.
Miley Cyrus' TV role is the first time she's been in the news for her chosen craft, acting. She made waves in the past weeks for her engagement to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth and for chopping off her hair to create a platinum blonde pixie cut.

We're cosigning this flick for three reasons. First, we've been riding with Seth Rogen before most of ya'll even knew his name. Second, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have proved their comedic chemistry on two twisted British flicks (Hot Fuzz, and Shaun of the Dead) we enjoyed. And third, Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) has made some great movies (so far). On another note, we're not sure if we can stand watching an American Dad's Roger-looking extraterrestrial in computer-generated blubber. But the storyline seems exciting---filled with bouts against alphabetized thugs---and we're pretty certain that it'll provide us with some good laughs. Watch the trailer above, and expect to see the film this upcoming spring.

Four years after Donnie Farrell's murder, will a cold case heat up?
By Damian Biniek
The Donnie Farrell Project
GLASSBORO – It is Homecoming 2011, and Rowan University's campus is gearing up for a busy Saturday night.
The Profs football team beat Buffalo State University, 36-29. As evening falls, a cluster of cars is parked near Wilson Hall, where the annual step show is being held. A few police cars and a single ambulance sit idling outside the building's main entrance.
Closer to Route 322, traffic lights illuminate the few people moving along the main road cutting through the campus. Students walk along in groups, headed for apartments and townhouses in the distance.
The campus is very much like it was when sophomore Donald J. Farrell III was fatally attacked here four years before.
"It didn't seem any more crowded or busy than a normal night on a college campus," said Jacklin Hordes, who was part of the group of friends that Farrell, 19, was with that night.
But that carefree fall night ended in a burst of violence, with a sudden death that changed lives forever. A wound opened on Oct. 27, 2007, one that won't heal until a killer is brought to justice.
Since September, The Donnie Farrell Project has worked to recreate the details of the unsolved murder and trace the investigation of the case. Through dozens of interviews with Farrell's friends and family, Rowan administrators, criminal investigators and witnesses – including one previously unknown to detectives – the Donnie Project will tell the story of the crime that took Farrell's life, talk about the family and friends still waiting for answers, and describe a campus forever changed.
Gone In An Instant
It was the weekend before Halloween, and Farrell and his friends were headed to a party. Some in the group were students, others friends from Farrell's hometown of Boonton, Morris County.
One of the group stopped to buy cups at the XPress Food Mart, a convenience store along 322 near Old Heston Road. While Farrell and the rest of the group waited, they encountered a group of five men.
There was an encounter and some talk of parties. It wasn't confrontational, just brief.
But as Farrell and his friends walked away, one of the men came up behind him and threw a punch. Farrell fell to the ground. There was a brief shoving match as one of Farrell's male friends tried to push away the assailant, who was grabbing at Farrell's pockets, looking for valuables.
According to police, three members of the group then ran to the right, across the intersection and toward Beau Rivage townhouses. The other two men ran to the left, toward the XPress Mart parking lot. A witness later said she'd seen one of the men talking to people in a car.
At first, Farrell's friends didn't realize that he wasn't moving. One of the girls, hysterical, dialed 911 at 9:13 p.m.
"We received a call that someone had been assaulted by possibly three or four black males," said Det. Kevin Fennal of the Rowan University Department of Public Safety. At the time, Fennal was newly promoted and not scheduled to start working as a detective until the following Monday.
He responded to scene minutes after Glassboro police and Rowan security, plunged into his new job by circumstance, and has worked the case since.
Police got there quickly, but not soon enough. The location of the crime offered a half-dozen routes of escape, and the red-light cameras that now monitor the intersection weren't yet in place.
There were leads: A witness reported seeing one of the men earlier, standing outside of what appeared to be a dark four-door Honda Accord, talking to the occupants as they were parked outside of the XPress Mart. Farrell's wallet, containing his identification, was later be found by another student across Bowe Boulevard, near Beau Rivage townhouses.
From the XPress Mart, the suspects could have headed west on Route 322, and had easy access to Route 55, a highway that offers speedy connections to the rest of the state. In any other direction from the XPress Mart, they could have been hindered by local traffic and the more residential streets of Glassboro.
'Smoke,' and a Jacket
Few physical clues were found at the scene, but witnesses provided enough detail to build a solid lead. First, there was the jacket, a limited-production item that wasn't widely sold.
"This was the one thing that stood out, that was consistent," says Detective Lt. Langdon Sills, the Gloucester County Prosecutor's lead investigator on the Farrell murder. "That was the jacket he had on, red and grey."
It's an eye-catching design, described in press releases as "a Coogi Heritage hoody with a gray body and red arms, decorated with a number of logos including a British flag on the left chest area and the number 69 on the arm."
The prosecutor's office sent reporters a sketch of the jacket and a still photo taken from security camera footage inside the XPress Mart. The store turned out to be a key place of interest for them following the events of that night.
Glassboro police issued a county-wide alert to local police departments to be on the lookout for the alleged assailant and the vehicle which had been seen in the area. Photos of the man in the Coogi jacket, who remains a person of interest, flickered across television and computer screens and appeared in newspapers.
"We were able to determine what brand of jacket and located the different stores that sold that actual color combination," said Sills. "In all there were 23 stores that sold it, and only 50 jackets actually put out. They were all in North Jersey and the New York area."
Unfortunately, no credit card records existed for these purchases.
The jacket was featured heavily in the early coverage of the case and in investigations and remains the strongest visual symbol of the case. From the surveillance video, investigators identified another witness, a Glassboro woman the man in the Coogi jacket tried to flirt with, detectives said.
Police were unable to obtain suitable fingerprints from the counter area or on the exit doors at the busy XPress Mart.
The Investigation
Four years later, the motive for the attack remains unclear. Police say they doubt robbery was the main intent.
"Donnie had a cell phone on him. He had a gold chain. He was with other friends who weren't robbed," Sills said.
Officers interviewed the witnesses who had remained, including the two friends who had been standing closest to Farrell when he was struck.
Jacklin Hordes was there, as well, but said officers didn't take a statement from her at the time. She recently spoke to Sills about the events of that night.
Investigators have also probed what may have brought the assailant and their group to campus – the earlier football game, where Rowan had played Montclair State, the Halloween parties around campus, the step show, or just the usual Saturday night scene.
The step show had begun at 7 p.m., but there was a fence between the activity there and the crime scene. If the show had drawn the attacker and his group to Glassboro, it's possible they would have parked close to Wilson Hall during the show. They could have parked in the lots near Wackar Stadium, but would have had a long way to run to their vehicles.
In the last four years, investigators have followed up on a number of leads and interviewed numerous individuals who they felt might have information on the case. Some of them were even administered a polygraph in order to test their reliability.
"We've done six or seven polygraphs," said Sills.
Investigators use the results to corroborate what these projects revealed or claimed. He could not comment on the results of these tests, but admitted that at least one of their subjects failed when they were asked about information in this case.
"He's still on our radar," said Sills.
Keeping the Case Alive
As the fourth anniversary of Farrell's murder passed, the case sat in a sort of limbo, awaiting the discovery of anything that will lead to an arrest. The reward remains unclaimed, a killer walks free.
The Farrells – parents Don and Kathy, and Donnie's brother and sisters – spoke to The Donnie Project in October in their first extensive interviews since the crime. They keep him alive through charity events and gatherings in his name, and in bittersweet remembrances of the engaging young man whose absence bored a hole in their close-knit Irish Catholic family.
As the years pass, the detectives are still looking for additional tips and information, hoping it may coincide with a press release timed with an anniversary, or with the occasional release of new details. They revisit old leads and clues, assessing what they might have missed or overlooked along the way.
"Sometimes we revisit people that we've already talked to," said Sills. "People that we even polygraphed in the past, we might go back just to talk to them, just to keep it out there. Just to breathe life back into it."
Initially, both Farrell's family and police investigators thought that they would find a suspect quickly. With so much publicity and media attention, which extended to New York media through the Farrells' connection to North Jersey, it was surprising to many involved with the case that it led to a dead end.
"It was on TV," said Don Farrell. "The police really felt that they would have it solved [quickly]."
The murder and information about the person of interest was even spotlighted on America's Most Wanted. Investigators considered the idea that the assailant may not have realized Farrell died and say they don't think it was an intentional murder.
"All indications in our investigation is that it was a random act," says Sills. "That makes it really hard for law enforcement."
Looking for help
James Gannon is a retired homicide detective from Boonton and an acquaintance of the Farrell family whom they asked to look into the case in 2009. Gannon now works in corporate security, but continues to work as a consultant and educator in the field of investigations. The Farrells wanted an independent assessment of what investigators had researched or discovered.
Gannon brought in another former homicide detective, Tim Braun, to assist. Braun is a retired detective and task force commander from Essex and Somerset counties, who now does consulting and private investigation.
The Farrells traveled down to Gloucester County and brought the two sets of investigators together. Sills said they remain in touch on the case to this day, united in a desire to close the case.
"I asked them very hard questions," said Gannon. "They were very forthcoming."
The retired detectives didn't interview witnesses, but reviewed Sills' files on the case. Ultimately, they reported to the Farrells that the authorities had done everything they thought possible.
"They are in charge of the investigation, we are responsible to the family. We're making sure things are done," Gannon said. He remains convinced the case will break.
"You have multiple people involved. Time becomes your friend," he said. "The thing we have on our side is that relationships change. Someone's going to pick up the phone."
Newer social media technologies might disseminate news about the case to more audiences outside of the local area – some who may have never seen the initial reports of Donnie Farrell's death. Anonymous tips can be submitted to the Gloucester County Prosecutors Office or at any of the links on the "How You Can Help" page.
"With so many people involved, they may not stay friends forever," says Lt. Sills.
The $100,000 reward in the case still stands.
The search for Donnie's attacker was broad, reaching north to Essex and Morris counties and to Atlantic County where investigators followed up on a lead from a witness at the XPress Mart.
Sills now works in internal affairs, but keeps an extensive file on the case, containing every lead or rumor that has arisen. He worked with gang enforcement, drug task forces, and homicide divisions in other counties throughout the state, looking for a connection.
He still works on the case, sitting down periodically with Fennal to review their evidence to date, but he communicates with the Farrells less frequently than he used to.
"I may not call all the time, because I don't want to give them false hope," said Sills. "You've got to walk that fine line in terms of what you can tell them and staying in contact with them. A lot of times, they just want to hear your voice. That somebody cares about their son."
To his family, Donnie Farrell was a gift.
"He was my shining star," said Kathy Farrell. She described her son as a lively, outgoing kid, the kind you have a tough time tabs keeping on. As a toddler, he'd be the one saying hello, striking up new friendships with strangers.
"We used to get very concerned that we were going to lose him when he was a little kid," said his dad, Don Farrell. "He was an old soul. It was amazing. We used to worry about it to the point that two weeks before his death, we said we're finally finished worrying about it."
The Farrells were beginning to realize that Donnie was growing up and they began to let him do so on his own – to write his own story.
They agreed to participate in this project as we try to tell Donnie's story. We are all searching for where it will end.

Updating the Map: Romantic Attraction and Friendship vs. Romance
This post is for the October 2015 Carnival of Aces. The theme is aromanticism and the aromantic spectrum. Cross-posted to The Asexual Agenda.
Until relatively recently, I never considered whether I might be on the aromantic spectrum. It was patently obvious to me that I've experienced whatever feeling it is that people refer to as "romantic attraction." It didn't really matter that I've only had that happen (with complete certainty) once—if it happened once, then surely it could happen again. The potential was all that mattered. Except as the years went on, and I tried very unsuccessfully to find someone (else—I've been polyamorously partnered for the past seven years) to date, it's started to seem less and less like that potential feeling is accessible. So after much consideration, I've started identifying as greyromantic. Continue reading
