A New Jersey developer will continue his quest to build a Middle Smithfield strip club despite suffering a stroke that has delayed hearings in a lawsuit seeking to overturn township approval for the project.
A New Jersey developer will continue his quest to build a Middle Smithfield strip club despite suffering a stroke that has delayed hearings in a lawsuit seeking to overturn township approval for the project.
Daniel Russo had the stroke in November after his HOTTPA corporation sought to intervene in a lawsuit by 15 residents challenging the township's 2011 procedural approval for the conditional use application.
Conferences among the three parties in the case with Monroe County Judge Arthur Zulick have been postponed while Russo recovers.
"I want to go forward with it," Russo said. "Nothing has changed. I'm making a recovery," he added. "It isn't quick."
Attorneys are scheduled to meet privately with Zulick April 16.
Residents have charged that township supervisors illegally approved the strip club, which is proposed for the Werry's Motel property near Route 209 of then-Supervisor Bob Spano Sr. The residents have cited nine grounds for overturning the 2011 procedural approval, including charging that Spano, while supervisor, voted illegally to approve the club despite a conflict of interest. Spano contends he was allowed by law to vote, after citing his own conflict, to break a tie.
Spano and then-Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott Schaller, who also voted to approve the club, have since been replaced by a township board that expressed opposition to the project. The township filed a motion last fall asking to present "additional evidence" that its 2011 approval violated the state Municipalities Planning Code.
The township says Spano and Schaller voted to appoint Donald Karpowich as a hearing officer and to accept Karpowich's decision on the proposal as final, if HOTTPA agreed. They contend HOTTPA, through Russo's attorney, Joseph Wiesmeth, agreed to the condition, so Karpowich's recommendation to reject the application should have been final.
The township says Spano failed to honor a subpoena by residents to testify at the township hearing, that Spano and HOTTPA failed to produce the sales agreement for the property and that HOTTPA wasn't a legally registered corporation when the application was filed.
The residents also filed a similar motion stating that HOTTPA wasn't incorporated until two months after the HOTTPA township application. The residents say HOTTPA and Russo have no legal standing to be a party in defending the lawsuit against the township's approval.
The residents' attorney, Don Miles, is confident his clients will prevail.
"There will likely be hearing at some point," Miles said.
Wiesmeth didn't return calls seeking comment.

Skunks have a pair of specialized sacs located in their anus; each sac is connected to the outside by a small duct that opens just inside the anus. The sacs are merely pouches that store an extremely foul smelling secretion produced by glands that line the sacs.
Therapeutic laser is the application of light energy to areas of the body to stimulate healing. This light–tissue interaction is called photobiomodulation. In the past, therapeutic laser was often referred to as low-level or cold laser (as opposed to a surgical or hot laser).
Therapy pets are animals that visit hospitals, retirement homes, hospice centers, nursing homes and schools. Although most therapy pets are dogs, other species such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses are good candidates. These lovable pets are well trained, have good temperaments, and are people-friendly. Plus, they have a good work ethic!
The underlying philosophy of all alternative medical therapies is the 'holistic' approach, in which the patient is treated as a whole being rather than as a collection of organs and parts. The patient is treated as an individual rather than as a diagnosis, and the treatment is determined by the way that he or she is responding to illness.

Greek plane lands safely in Israel after emergency
JERUSALEM (AP) — A Greek plane landed safely in Tel Aviv without anyone being hurt on Thursday after issuing a rare mayday call on its approach to Israel's Ben Gurion international airport.
The plane had apparently suffered a hydraulic problem around noon and was forced to take measures for an emergency landing, said airport spokesman Ofer Lefler.
All 170 people on board, passengers and crew, were safe and well, said police spokesmen Micky Rosenfeld.
Tel Aviv was the plane's original destination and was part of its regular flight routine.
Mayday signals are rare and security-conscious Israel went on high alert around the airport after Thursday's call.
Israeli media reported that the emergency call prompted large numbers of ambulances and rescue teams to rush to the airport and hospitals were put on standby.

Looking to get Pink concert tickets for the wife up here in Canada. (I know, there's no accounting for taste).
Of course, on ticketmaster, it sold out in minutes, so I'm off to the secondary market.
Stub Hub's prices are way out of whack, even considering I will be paying higher than face value.
I see there's Ticketnetwork, TicketsNow, etc. At least those sites' ticket prices are more in line.
Haven't used them before.
Was wondering if anyone had, and what your experiences were?
Looking for feedback on online ticket brokers (except Stub Hub)

Bald & Beautiful Alum Writes Books to Help Children with Cancer
Brianne (Lytton 01) Banning will always remember an education class with Dr. Robyn Miller (85). Brianne learned about writing a children's story, but didn't think she had the creativity to achieve it. Today, inspired by her daughter's cancer battles, the author of two children's books finds that day humorous.
"I really thought I didn't have any story to tell, and that I probably wouldn't have one in the future to tell," Brianne said.
A few years after graduating from OC with a degree in physical education, her daughter Baylee was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer at just six months old. The cancer was at stage four, and involved seven tumors. Baylee underwent six rounds of chemotherapy and a two-month stem cell treatment.
"We were totally shocked to learn that our baby had cancer," Brianne said. "We never even looked on the Internet to learn more about the disease. We knew the statistics for survival were not good. Plus, we knew there was only one physician who could heal her and that was the Great Physician."
Nearly four years later, Brianne and her husband Aaron received a final clear scan indicating the cancer was gone. But Baylee began having stomach pains the next year, just before starting kindergarten.
"As a parent of a child who has had cancer, every little illness scares you and can make you flip out," Brianne said. "But you can't ignore anything. Once again, I found myself on my knees praying, 'How am I going to do this?'"
The doctors discovered that Baylee had a Wilms tumor on her ovary, a different cancer than before. Fortunately, the cancer was not on a kidney, so the doctors were able to completely remove it. Baylee once again had to receive 15 rounds of chemotherapy, but none were as harsh as her first cancer treatments.
This time, Brianne really struggled with telling Baylee about how she would lose her hair.
"I looked and looked for books that would help me, but so many were dark and very cancer-centric," Brianne said. "I needed something else."
Brianne found the answer in Baylee.
"I told her about losing her hair again and she just laughed. She thought it was funny," Brianne said. "So we sat down and wrote a story about a little girl who had to lose her hair. We came up with the idea of a hair fairy, and we really just wanted the story to have positive, affirmative messages. We didn't even want to mention cancer.
"After we developed the story, Baylee looked forward to the day the hair fairy would come and get her hair, and then when the fairy would return it for Baylee being so strong and brave."
After Brianne told others of the story, friends encouraged her to turn it into a book. She self-published "The Beautiful Bald Princess" with illustrations by Tricia Weber, a friend and fellow member of Northside Church of Christ in Wichita. Tate Publishing contacted Banning and agreed to publish the book.
"The book has really allowed us to give back," Brianne said. "We've worked with the Ronald McDonald House, where we had stayed ourselves. I spoke to nearly 1,000 women at the Women Walking with God conference. Friends and church members have bought the books and asked me to give them to children they know. So many people helped our family, and we are more than willing to share our story to help others for God's glory."
Another way Brianne has been able to give back is by visiting children in hospitals – dressed as the hair fairy – and reading the book to patients.
This year, Brianne developed a book for boys called "The Brave Bald Knight." Both books and other materials are available at bravebaldandbeautiful.com. Brianne wants the books to get into the hands of parents and children who need them.
Today, Baylee is cancer-free. Her final treatment was in February 2013, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation is helping her get to Disney World in September.
"It is so exciting to see her play soccer," Brianne said. "People don't know how God has worked in her life."
That perspective reminds Brianne of her time in her mentor's class, Teaching The Disabled Child, taught by Dr. Max Dobson.
"Working with kids with disabilities in his class allowed me to look at difficult situations differently," Brianne said. "There are positive ways to help, and there is always something you can do to brighten their day with a story."

Pope Benedict's Resignation Could Open Door to Latin American Pontiff
Pope Benedict XVI's stunning resignation could set the stage for the Vatican's first Latin American Pope in history.
Benedict, 85, announced on Monday he will resign on Feb. 28 because of his declining health. The news sent shock waves in the Catholic Church and ignited intense speculation as to who will replace him.
The College of Cardinals will hold a conclave to elect a new pope by mid-March, and while there are no obvious front-runners for the position, Hispanic Catholics in the United States are praying for a Latin American leader that would sympathize with Latino culture and provide a voice which can cement Hispanic influence worldwide.
"The possibilities of an African or Latin American pope are certainly there," said Miguel H. Diaz, who was the first Hispanic U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. "But one has to be fair, we've had two popes in succession that are not Italian. There could be a desire to go to back to the Italian pope."
Of the estimated 1.2 billion Catholics around the world, 42 percent are from Latin America, the largest group in the Church, according to the Population Reference Bureau. A study in 2007, by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, found 68 percent of U.S. Hispanics are Catholic.
Hispanics are considered critical to the Catholic Church in the United States, which has witnessed a significant drop in membership in recent decades. Since 1960, Latinos have contributed to 71 percent of the growth of Catholic Church in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Spanish is the most spoken language in Catholic churches across the world.
Current speculation of which current Latin American cardinals who could ascend to the papacy include:
Cardinal Leonardo Sandri of Argentina: Born in Buenos Aires to Italian parents and is 69 years old, he held the third highest position as chief of staff of the Vatican from 2000-2007. Sandri is the prefect of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches.
Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras: The Archbishop of Tegucigalpa and 70 years old, he was proclaimed Cardinal by Pope John Paul II. He is considered a moderate, a major advocate for the poor, and is known for his criticisms of capitalism.
Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz of Brazil: The 65-year-old took over the Vatican department for religious congregations in 2011. Brazil is the world's most Catholic country with 130 million out of nearly 200 million.
Cardinal Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino: The 76-year-old has been the Archbishop of Havana, Cuba, since 1981. He has been a strong voice in Cuban-American, and a negotiator of sorts between the Cuban exile community in the U.S. and Cubans still in the island.
Marilyn Santos, president of the National Catholic Network de Pastoral Juvenil Hispana, said the Vatican would be smart to pick a successor in the Latin American community.
"There is no other stronger message: You matter. You are valued," Santos said. "For so many years, in spite of the advances, the majority of us are still marginalized, and to now become the center? The celebrations and the tears of joy, it would just explode."
While the Vatican is in Italy, the center of the Catholic Church and its future lies south of the equator in Latin America and Africa, experts said. The election of a Hispanic Pope would not only serve as a symbolic victory, but it would also emphasize a shift in Catholicism in the United States.
Many have abandoned the Catholic Church, alienated by the church's views on abortion, gay issues and women's rights. Latinos, however, tend to be more conservative on social issues and thus have remained more loyal to the church. Many Latinos, particularly those from modest economic backgrounds, also view the Catholic Church as playing an important role in uplifting the poor.
"Latinos are not caught in the liberal vs. conservative Catholic Church debate," said Timothy Matovina, a theology professor and executive director of the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Latino Studies. "Latinos care about 'how are we going to equip the church to serve our people?'"
Matovina, author of the book "Latino Catholicism: Transformation in America's Largest Church", believes a Latin American Pope would prioritize a "mission mode" style for the Catholic Church, meaning leaders would concentrate on programs that relieve social ills.
Mario Paredes, director of Catholic Ministries of the American Bible Society, said while a Latino pope is imminent, it will not happen this time around.
"We just don't have the right candidates, mainly, because of their ages," said Paredes. The Catholic Church will look for a younger candidate whose health won't impede holding office for a longer period of time than Pope Benedict XVI.
If a Latin American pope is not elected by the College of Cardinals, U.S. Catholic leaders believe José Horacio Gomez, the 61-year-old Archbishop of Los Angeles, will be ready for the job should it become available again.
Gomez is the first Hispanic to serve as Archbishop of Los Angeles and is the highest-ranking Hispanic bishop in the United States. In four years, he is expected to become the first Hispanic Cardinal in U.S. history.
But experts say the Vatican would never appoint an American to the post because U.S. candidates tend to not have the same linguistic abilities to speak all the necessary languages. The Vatican is also leery of polarizing Muslims and others religious groups because of American foreign policy, and are particularly against choosing a pope from a superpower nation.
Still, Paredes believes the next in line after Benedict is more likely to be an American than a Latin American. He thinks Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York City is a viable candidate.
"He's well liked in Rome, young, very popular, and very personal," Paredes said. "The Cold War is over, we live in a globalized world…if we chose a German pope after Hitler, we can choose an American pope."

Currie type clinical thermometer, 1800-1810
Scottish physician James Currie (1756-1805) pioneered the clinical thermometer. This early example is one of a type he devised. The clinical thermometer differs from an ordinary thermometer. It measures only over a limited temperature range relating to body temperatures. Such instruments were used in medicine for some time before 1850. However, it was only then they began being used as a precise means to diagnose disease. They were also used to predict a disease's course through recognising the different temperature patterns of specific diseases. This example has a Fahrenheit scale. It is thought to have been made in England.

Editors note: Records and Information Management Perspectives, Part 1: Legislative and Legal Developments, appeared in the June/July 2003 issue of the Bulletin.
Records and Information Management Perspectives
Lee S. Strickland is visiting professor in the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland. He can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com
Concerns have been present for some years that our laudable drive for openness has led to the inopportune disclosure of sensitive information affecting our national security. However, the renewed importance of homeland security in the face of threats from international terrorism have required that we diligently re-examine our policies on public access to government information both in terms of voluntary releases, such as publication on government websites, and mandated disclosures under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and numerous other disclosure statutes. As a matter of policy, how should we balance our rights to government information as members of a democratic society when, at the same time, such information could benefit terrorists?
Indeed, the issue of openness is even broader given the following permutations: First, consider the various holders of sensitive information from corporations that fear providing information to the government to private scientific publishers who value the importance of scientific information exchange but nevertheless acknowledge that certain information may present national security risks. Second, consider that we must address not only sensitive national security issues but individual privacy issues as well. As citizens, we generally applaud openness until we realize that our personal information may be threatened with disclosure. And third, consider the growing role of private information brokers for government information. Does the insertion of private enterprise in the lifecycle of government information mean that citizens risk the integrity of critical information as well as their rights under existing law to require accuracy and amendment as necessary? In sum, the question presented: Where is national information access policy today and tomorrow?
Openness and National Security. Beginning more than five years ago, certain sectors of the Executive branch and Congress began to fear that mandated FOIA releases were, in the aggregate, revealing information harmful to national security. This was perhaps most evident in the actions of former Department of Energy Secretary OLeary in the Clinton administration and her push for openness that resulted in Congressional direction to review immense volumes of information that had been cleared for release. And it was more recently evident also beginning several years ago but accelerating in the aftermath of September 11 where many agencies have reconsidered information currently on the Web or otherwise available to the public. These changes in access ranged from documents impinging on intelligence sources and methods related to Gulf War Veterans Illness to worst-case scenarios prepared for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to mandated disclosures on community water treatment programs by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). By way of very specific examples, the EPA removed some 9,000 documents (including many scientific research papers that referenced nuclear or chemical or storage) as well as Envirofacts database that allowed people to search for information about environmental issues in their neighborhoods and received more than 100 million hits a month. The critical point is that each of these instances, and hundreds of others, presented a very real conundrum between the needed release of information of great import to Americans and the feared benefit to our adversaries.
It was for such reasons that Attorney General (AG) Ashcroft on October 12, 2001, announced a reversal of the policy of former AG Reno who had urged discretionary releases unless it was "reasonably foreseeable that disclosure would be harmful. Indeed, Ms. Reno had established a presumption of "maximum responsible disclosure of information that the government must ensure that the principle of openness in government is applied in each and every disclosure and nondisclosure decision that is required under the Act." As she explained the issue, the "American public's understanding of the workings of its government is a cornerstone of our democracy [and] we make government throughout the executive branch more open, more responsive and more accountable."
The new policy allows governmental agencies to withhold whenever there is a legal basis to do so and is based, according to the Department of Justice, on "the importance of protecting sensitive institutional, commercial and personal interests that can be implicated in government records such as the need to safeguard national security, to maintain law enforcement effectiveness, to respect confidentiality, to protect internal agency deliberations and to preserve personal privacy." In other statements to highlight the deference that will be given to individual agencies in their withholding decisions, Mr. Ashcroft has stated that "when you carefully consider FOIA requests and decide to withhold records, in whole or in part, you can be assured that the Department of Justice will defend your decisions unless they lack a sound legal basis or present an unwarranted risk of adverse impact on the ability of other agencies to protect other important records."
Following this policy change, Andrew Card, Jr., the White House Chief of Staff, directed agencies on March 19, 2002, to reexamine how they protect information that could be used by terrorists and report the results of their efforts to the Office of Homeland Security within 90 days. Specifically the memo calls for the classification or reclassification of information on weapons of mass destruction, directs agencies to classify such information if it has never been classified, irrespective of age, provided that it has not been disclosed to the public under proper authority, and further directs reclassification of sensitive information concerning nuclear or radiological weapons if, although it had been declassified, it had never been disclosed under proper authority. The directive further suggests that "sensitive but unclassified" information could be protected under other FOIA exemptions including Exemption 2 for information about the "critical infrastructure" where disclosure of internal agency records might cause a risk that laws or regulations could be circumvented or Exemption 4 for information voluntarily provided to the government by the private sector.
The primary concern with all of these efforts to reduce openness is not that certain previously available government information may prove of value to terrorists and perhaps should be protected but that there are no standards for making the new determinations.
Most recently, federal legislative action on openness has been in the context of legislation to establish a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the House and the Senate taking significantly different approaches. Initially (in 2002), the House version of the Homeland Security Act (HSA) included a broad new FOIA exemption for information voluntarily submitted to the new department with somewhat vague definitions and also preempting all state open records laws. The Senate version included a fairly narrow FOIA exemption for documents submitted to the new department that concerned vulnerabilities and contained no preemption of state open records laws. However the change in the Senate resulting from the November 2002 elections resulted in passage of a final HSA that included the broad exemption for information supplied to the government. Section 204 of the act specifically encourages the sharing of information with the DHS by the private sector, state and local governments, and individuals. It does so by providing that information voluntarily provided by non-federal parties to the DHS that relates to infrastructure vulnerabilities or other vulnerabilities to terrorism is not subject to public disclosure under the FOIA even if such information is forwarded by DHS to other federal agencies.
Research and Further Information Guide
See www.ombwatch.org for detailed information on federal government information withdrawals. Also note that such security concerns have not been limited to the federal arena and have been major concerns in the states. Many legislative proposals were criticized because of the lack of standards for withholding. (For example, in Maryland, it was proposed that a government official could deny access to records relating to public security simply if the official "determines that inspection of the information would constitute a risk to the public or to public safety.") And many openness advocates such as the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press have also noted that the public has incredibly strong interest in knowing what the government is doing to protect the public." In the end, most of these state proposals were generally rolled back to more reasonable levels with definitive reference to specific information to be protected. (For instance, Maryland SB 240 authorizes withholding of specified response procedures or plans prepared to prevent or respond to emergency situations; specified building plans, blueprints, schematic drawings, diagrams, operational manuals, or records of other buildings or structures operated by the State or any of its political subdivisions; or specified records prepared to prevent or respond to emergency situations provided and only to the extent that access would jeopardize the security of a structure, facilitate the planning of a terrorist attack, or endanger the life or physical safety of an individual.).
Openness and Individual Privacy. While openness policy tends to focus on national security interests, there is also a significant contest between openness and individual privacy in various contexts: required disclosures under the FOIA (or state equivalents), growing access facilitated by expanding e-government services and the exploding access provided by private data aggregators and the concomitant loss of practical obscurity.
We will briefly consider these in turn. First, the frequent invocation of the FOIA by private companies for information on individual citizens speaks for itself many citizens and most courts believe that even the fact of communication between an individual and a government agency bears an expectation of privacy.
Second, the benefit and curse of e-government is less visible. We appreciate easy access to real estate and court records until we realize that our easy access is the same for everyone. At the present time, the federal and state courts are struggling with the issue of whether and to what extent the paper files (available to all in the courthouse) should be available online.
And lastly, we must consider the multiple risks posed by private data aggregators businesses that compile and sell government information in electronic form that are largely unregulated and that present enormous privacy implications. Consider by way of example, www.rapsheets.com, a company that has begun selling national criminal background checks for a small fee based on their compilation of some 50 million criminal records in 36 states, as well as any number of other companies selling all sorts of public record information including bankruptcies, divorce data, civil lawsuits or property ownership. First, there is the direct potential for an invasion of privacy by eliminating the concept of practical obscurity a term of art used to recognize that privacy interests may exist in isolated data generally unknown to the public. And second, there is the equally real threat that in a de facto manner the public record may be corrupted. Consider the implications if such companies become the de facto holder and supplier of public record information. While the official public record would continue to be available at various courthouses or state agencies, few would have (or avail themselves of) access since the primary vehicle of dissemination and access would become the electronic version held by the private data brokers. The question then presented: What becomes of the rights granted to citizens by state and federal privacy laws (for example, right of access, correction and accounting for disclosures)?
Research and Further Information Guide
See Department of Justice v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749 (1989), a FOIA case where access was sought to criminal history records. The U.S. Supreme Court held, inter alia, that privacy interests can exist even though the information has been made available to the general public at some other place and point in time thus establishing a "practical obscurity" standard.
In Sum
Records and information management (RIM) is no longer an arcane world of primary interest to a few. Our information age has converted the issue to one of critical importance to every corporate manager and each citizen as information has become a key business asset and is similarly valued by individuals in terms of personal privacy. While we as information professionals tend to think in terms of availability, authenticity and reliability as key objectives for our RIM efforts, we must also verbalize another security from theft. This has been one of the many concerns to the Cobell court, it is a vital concern in e-government implementations and is becoming a central focus of business information managers as they become cognizant of the significant liability issues. We shall consider in future installments a number of the legal and policy issues at play in the protection both of corporate data and customer data held by business.

City owners set for MLS franchise in New York
The head of the owners of Manchester City is reported to be close to buying the franchise for a second MLS team in New York, the New York Times has reported.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan, part of the Abu Dhabi royal family, whose private investment group owns City, is ready to invest a $100 million "expansion fee" to create the 20th MLS team. It will be based in Queens, may be called New York City FC and could begin playing in 2016.
The paper reported that a deal for the construction of a privately-funded $340 million stadium in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park was close, and an announcement on the new franchise could be made prior to May 25, when City face Premier League rivals Chelsea in a New York friendly.
Last week, the New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, told reporters: "Hopefully, we're getting close to announcing a new soccer stadium here in Flushing Meadows Park."
Recently-deposed Premier League champions City will be making a third visit to the US in four years. Their City in the Community programme has seen pitches built across the country, including in Manhattan, in recent years.
Despite the franchise deal reportedly being at an advanced stage, the New York Times also reported that hurdles remain.
These include concerns over park space being lost to the stadium, and the need to gain planning approval for it.
City officials recently confirmed that they were in "active discussions" with the MLS about the proposals.
Stefan Szymanski, a professor of sports management at the University of Michigan, was quoted in the New York Times report as saying: "These are long-term investors - the Warren Buffetts of the Middle East.
"It almost doesn't matter what plays inside the stadium. It's the location, the city, that indicates it's a good investment."
Manchester City have not commented on the report.

Fight Clubbed
Ultimate fighting ought to be a great American sport. Instead, cable companies, Sen. John McCain, and a squeamish public are killing it.
Fight Club, a movie about a fictional organization of men who strip down and beat each other to pulp, has provoked more than its share of media hand-wringing, particularly diatribes about Hollywood's infatuation with violence and Faludi-esque ruminations about the emasculated American male. Fight Club, however, has not sparked an iota of interest in a real organization of men who strip down and beat each other to pulp: the Ultimate Fighting Championship. UFC's flameout from national sensation to total irrelevance is a tragedy of American sports, a cautionary tale of prudishness, heavy-handed politics, and cultural myopia.
UFC began in 1993 as a locker-room fantasy. What would happen if a kickboxer fought a wrestler? A karate champion fought a sumo champion? Promoters built an octagonal chain-link cage, invited eight top martial artists, and set them loose in no-holds-barred, bare-knuckles fights. "There are no rules!" bragged an early press release. Contestants would fight till "knockout, submission, doctor's intervention, or death." UFC allowed, even promoted, all notions of bad sportsmanship: kicking a man when he's down, hitting him in the groin, choking. Four-hundred-pound men were sent into the Octagon to maul guys half their size. Only biting and eye-gouging were forbidden.
The gimmick entranced thousands of people (well, men).
But a subtle sport was emerging from the gimmicks and carnage. My passion for ultimate fighting (which is also called "extreme" or "no-holds-barred" fighting) began when I saw the finals of UFC IV.
UFC's caged matches revolutionized the idea of fighting. Nursed on boxing and Hollywood, Americans imagine fights as choreography, a dance of elegant combinations, roundhouse kicks, clean knockouts. The UFC punctured this. Boxers floundered. Experts in striking martial arts such as karate and tae kwon do, who fancied themselves the world's greatest fighters, found themselves pretzeled by jujitsu masters, who pulled them to the ground and slowly choked or leg-locked them. "UFC immediately debunked a lot of myths of fighting, of boxing, karate, kung fu. It showed the reality of what works in an actual fight," says Dave Meltzer, editor of Wrestling Observer.
Instead of being carnivals of gore, UFC fights looked strangely like ... sex. Almost all fights ended on the ground, one man mounting the other in missionary position, the pair of them wiggling mysteriously along the canvas for five, 10, even 30 minutes. There were few spectacular knockouts. The referee--yes, there was always a referee--stopped many bouts, and in most others, fighters "tapped out," surrendering to mild-looking but agonizing chokes and joint locks. It was not barbarism. It was science.
The UFC spawned a new breed of "mixed martial artists." World-class wrestlers learned to kickbox. Champion kickboxers learned to grapple. (The karate experts learned to stay home.) They became, without doubt, the best fighters in the world. (Click
UFC's promoters predicted that it would supplant boxing as America's martial art. Instead, it fell apart. The collapse began in 1996, when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., saw a UFC tape. McCain, a lifelong boxing fan, was horrified at the ground fighting, kicks, and head butts. It was "barbaric," he said. It was "not a sport." He sent letters to all 50 governors asking them to ban ultimate fighting. The outcry against "human cockfighting" became a crusade, and like many crusades, it was founded on misunderstanding.
UFC fell victim to cultural determinism about what a fight is. In countries such as Brazil and Japan, where no-holds-barred fighting has a long history, it is popular and uncontroversial. But Americans adhere to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. A fight consists of an exchange of upper-body blows that halts when one fighter falls.
Any blood sport can be barbaric, whether it's boxing or wrestling or ultimate fighting. It is impossible to draw a bright line between ultimate fighting and boxing. If anything, ultimate fighting is safer and less cruel than America's blood sport. For example, critics pilloried ultimate fighting because competitors fought with bare knuckles: To a nation accustomed to boxing gloves, this seemed revolting, an invitation to brain damage. But it's just the reverse: The purpose of boxing gloves is not to cushion the head but to shield the knuckles. Without gloves, a boxer would break his hands after a couple of punches to the skull. That's why ultimate fighters won't throw multiple skull punches. As a result, they avoid the concussive head wounds that kill boxers--and the long-term neurological damage that cripples them.
Similarly, the chain-link fence surrounding the octagon looks grotesque. Critics have demanded that UFC install ropes instead. But ropes are a major cause of death and injury in boxing: Fighters hyperextend their necks when they are punched against the ropes, because nothing stops their heads from snapping back. The chain-link fence prevents hyperextension.
When I tell people I'm an ultimate fighting fan, they invariably respond: "Don't people get killed all the time doing that?" But no one has ever been killed at the UFC--though boxers are killed every year. No one has even been seriously injured at the UFC. On the rare occasions when a bout has ended with a bloody knockout, the loser has always walked out of the ring.
But this does not impress boxing fans, who are the most vigorous opponents of extreme fighting. McCain sat ringside at a boxing match where a fighter was killed. When I asked him to explain the moral distinction between boxing and ultimate fighting, he exploded at me, "If you can't see the moral distinction, then we have nothing to talk about!" Then he cut our interview short and stormed out of his office.
But logic has not served the UFC well. Where McCain led, a prudish nation followed. George Will opined against UFC. The American Medical Association recommended a ban. New York state outlawed ultimate fighting, as did other states. The Nevada Athletic Commission refused to sanction UFC bouts, barring the UFC from the lucrative casino market. (One public TV station refused a UFC sponsorship ad. The only other organization the station ever rejected was the Ku Klux Klan.) Lawsuits blocked or delayed UFC events all over the country, forcing the promoters to spend millions in legal fees. The UFC was exiled from mega-arenas to ever-smaller venues in ever more out-of-the-way states: Louisiana, Iowa, and Alabama. The match I attended in October 1997 was held in the parking lot of a small Mississippi casino.
The cable TV industry struck the fatal blow. In early 1997, McCain became chairman of the commerce committee, which oversees the cable industry. In April 1997, the president of the National Cable Television Association warned that UFC broadcasts could jeopardize the cable industry's influence in Washington. Time Warner, TCI, Request, Cablevision Systems, Viewer's Choice, and other major operators stopped airing UFC events, saying they were too violent for children. Never mind that 1) UFC only aired on pay-per-view, so children could not see it unless their parents paid for it; and 2) the same cable outfits carried boxing matches, R and NC-17 movies, and professional wrestling shows far more violent than UFC. The UFC's "addressable audience"--the potential number of PPV subscribers--shrank from 35 million at its peak to 7.5 million today.
"It was a very cheap way for the cable companies to portray themselves as anti-violence. It did not cost them much and it made them look good in Washington," says Carol Klenfner, spokeswoman for UFC's parent company, SEG.
The ultimate fighting industry did little to help its own cause. The UFC promoted itself less as a serious sport than as a circus of carnage. Its early ads emphasized extreme fighting's potential for death. UFC folks accused McCain, without any evidence, of opposing the sport as a favor to campaign contributors. Extreme fighting was tarnished when fighters from the other ultimate fighting operation, the now-defunct Battlecade, were arrested for violating Canadian prizefighting laws when they fought on an Indian reservation outside Montreal.
In the past two years, an increasingly desperate UFC has been trying to assuage its critics. The competition, which had been gradually adding safety rules since the first fight, imposed even more. It institued rounds and a "10-point must" scoring system. It banned head butts and groin strikes. You can no longer kick a downed man or elbow someone in the back of the head. Fighters are required to wear thin martial arts gloves (a purely cosmetic change). The UFC imposed weight classes, ending the David-and-Goliath mismatches that made early fights so compelling.
None of this soothed the cable operators, who have kept UFC off the air. The pay-per-view audience has plunged from 300,000 per show to 15,000. UFC can no longer afford its best fighters: Some are fighting overseas. Others, notably Ken Shamrock (Frank's brother), have become pro wrestlers. Fights have deteriorated. UFC is limping along, but it has been reduced to scheduling events in Japan and Brazil.
"Sports fans want to grow with the sport," says former UFC fighter David Beneteau. "They want to recognize the athletes. They want to see the same fighters come back. When you compare UFC now to what it was, the fighters are not the same, the rules are not the same. The fans have no story to follow."
Even as it disappears from public view, ultimate fighting is returning to its roots. Away from the scrutiny of the major media, state legislators, and McCain, kids are still learning mixed martial-arts techniques, and small-time promoters are quietly staging events. You can see Kage Kombat competitions at Dancing Waters nightclub in San Pedro, Calif. You can watch the Warrior's Challenge at a small Indian casino outside Sacramento. Texans compete in Houston's Dungal All Styles Fighting Championship. Tribal casinos in Northern Idaho are hosting small Pankration tournaments. The Extreme Fighting Challenge is popular in Iowa. The money is low; the crowds are small; and there's not a TV camera in sight. Ultimate fighting should have become boxing. Instead it has gone underground. It has become Fight Club.

Why do you think I went up in flames from the word 'go' as it were? I could have told you that if you asked me you see. People like Neos never listen to reason, treat the one book that supports their views as Holy Writ and discard the others giving any number of reasons and, in a nutshell, they are not interested in correcting their mistakes (in this particular subject or similar -i.e. that Greeks are actually aliens, one my uncle is particularly fond of- ).
So the only thing you can do is either ban such (mis)users of the forum or reply giving the right etymology (or whatever; depends on the subject) so that others will know the truth without however expecting this will really change anything for the original poster.
Amadeus wrote:Uh.... yeah... no. I just said Neos' posts feel like spam because they are unsolicited. Instead of posting a query, or helping others with their Greek, or inviting people to join in this activity of searching for etymologies, he keeps writing new threads in this one-sided, I-am-the-teacher manner, when no one is asking to be taught.
Lucus Eques wrote:Whoa! Will, sorry man, I really must have lacked clarity if you took what I said in that way.
My purpose for the above post about identification: a lot of unnecessary negative emotions are produced when we, as human beings tend to do, over-identify with a form or an idea. These attachments can and do lead to strife, discord, even violence.
I am not a relativist, and certainly not in matters of science. Not only am I fully convinced of a single truth, I believe we can come to know it.
and all that identity talk I assumed you had been exposed to a lethal dose of some post-modern theoretical delirium.
Man, altho it's a shame you're kind of peeved at me, I love your word choices!
Well, in the way I was describing (which has nothing to do with etymology), we are; specifically, all people at one time or another are guilty of being emotionally attached to ideas and beliefs, concepts that may or may not be true.
Finally, there are lots of good reasons to be annoyed when presented repeatedly with falsehood. If I ask someone if it's raining outside, and they mislead me, then I can get annoyed for reasons that have nothing at all to do with my self-concept or identity, though getting soaked might have an impact on my ego.
This is going tangentially away from the whole etymology thing entirely, but lets explore it.
Why do you feel annoyed when you get soaked?

International Transcripts and Evaluation
Students who have attended an institution of higher education outside of the United States are strongly encouraged (and may be required) to submit an official "Course-by-Course Evaluation" of their academic credentials. You may use any NACES-member organization to complete the evaluation. NACES-member organizations typically provide us with your official documents and thus separate transcripts may not need to be submitted to our office. The course-by-course evaluation can greatly assist your academic program office in determining any possible course waivers or transfer credits, as applicable.
If you choose not to submit a course-by-course evaluation, you must provide us with official academic transcripts and marks sheets from all post-secondary work, as well as an official English translation (if applicable). If your institution does not provide more than one official document, a certified, notarized copy of your transcripts is required.
It is recognized that educational systems in other countries differ from that of the United States. Generally, a first university degree can be considered as comparable to its US counterpart, provided that the degree was earned at an institution that is officially recognized by its country's Ministry of Education. The comparability of international course work and degrees will be determined exclusively by Suffolk University's Office of Graduate Admission.
English Proficiency Requirement
Proficiency in English is required of all international applicants. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit official test scores from one of the following exams:
- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL examination is given in internet-based (iBT) and paper-based formats. A minimum TOEFL score of 80 in the iBT scoring system (with no subscore lower than 17) or 550 on the paper-based is required to be considered for full admission. Suffolk University's code for TOEFL test scores is 3771.
- International English Language Testing System test (IELTS). A minimum score of 6.5 (with no subscore below 6.0) is required to be considered for full admission
- PTE-Academic (Pearson Test of English). A minimum score of 65 is required to be considered for full admission.
You must have an official copy of the test result sent directly from the testing service. English-proficiency test scores are also a consideration in the awarding of merit fellowships. Scores are valid for two (2) years from the date the exam is taken.
Applicants are exempt from submitting the TOEFL/IELTS/PTE-Academic if:
- They have received a degree from an accredited college or university in the US within the last two (2) years
- They are permanent residents of the US (and must submit a copy of the Permanent Resident card, front and back)
- Their first/native language is English and they are from one of the following countries:
American Samoa
British West Indies
New Zealand
South Africa
Virgin Islands

Massachusetts might not be the natural habitat for any really exotic animals (no, squirrels and pigeons don't count), but that doesn't mean you can't have an animal adventure. We're talking kangaroos at Southwick's Zoo, gorillas at the Franklin Park Zoo, and penguins at the New England Aquarium. Lots and lots of penguins. If you're looking to check some more birds off your list, the Berkshires is one of the best bird watching locations in the country. Then there's horseback riding, with ranches for riding and learning all over the state. And if your kids like to get up close and personal with the animals, petting zoos at destinations like Smolak Farms and Lookout Farm will give them the warm and fuzzies. Just make sure they don't take anything home.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
Elijah Tindall
Elijah's public speaking journey can be traced back to his childhood sermon "Chula lula says". It was a four year old impression of an evangelical preacher he had heard preaching on the book of Revelation. It seemed he was diplomatic enough to replace the original "Jesus says" with "Chula lula says"...for Chula lula was the family dog....and honestly, if the message were a bit off target...well, it came from a dog.
His path to become a communicator seemed to be taking form when in high school he was proudly elected Class Clown 2 years in a row.
Elijah became an on air personality known as Sky Walker (on the number one top 40 station in that region) by the time he graduated high school.
Having a love for helping people and hope to make a difference with his life, Elijah began working as a youth pastor in his early 20's. That journey led him to become a gifted speaker in matters of self improvement and faith.
It was during that time that Elijah felt a need to connect with the entertainment industry. He quickly identified the fact that it was entertainment that influenced the teenagers he had been working to help for so long.
Elijah began his stand up comedy career and began making a splash in no time.
"It's the shock factor" he explains, "People are shocked when they realize that my act is clean".
This family friendly approach mixed with his unique high energy way of not only connecting with multiple ages and people groups, but connecting those groups together by the end of the show as well.
This earned him 1st place as Oklahoma's top comic in 2007, multiple media and television appearances including, ABC family, TLC, LA INK, 700 Club, TBN, cover story of Edmond Outlook, and much more. He has a fan base of thousands following him and an international traveling career as a stand up comic and motivational speaker.
If you've never been to an event where Elijah Tindall does his thing....well friend, that would explain why you still have a face (He made me type that last part...sorry).

It took a couple of years before Susan Still felt emotionally strong enough to speak to audiences about the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her former husband.
By Marian Rizzo
It took a couple of years before Susan Still felt emotionally strong enough to speak to audiences about the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her former husband. Today, she travels throughout the United States, telling other women there is hope.
Still will be the guest speaker on Saturday during Marion County's second annual Walk of Hope, sponsored by the Family Violence Prevention Workgroup of the Marion County Children's Alliance. Still will give the welcome address at 8 a.m. at the Ocala Police Department prior to a 3.2-mile walk to the College of Central Florida. She plans to participate in the walk and will give a video presentation in the fine arts auditorium.
"I'm happy to come and share and give hope anywhere that I can," Still said in a phone interview. "I'm hoping that even if there's one person out there in a situation, they'll know there is help out there for them, places they can go where they can be safe. I want to tell them, 'You can get out. You can be OK. You can heal and your children can heal, and you can have a good life.' "
Still has told her story in TV interviews with Diane Sawyer and Oprah Winfrey. During her marriage, Still endured 24 years of emotional, mental and physical abuse, which escalated in the last couple of years. At one point, her husband forced their 13-year-old son to video-tape him beating her. He was convicted on several assault counts and was sentenced to 36 years in prison. Still said she remained in the relationship too long.
"Hindsight is 20/20," she said. "At the time you're in it, you don't understand it. They come to us as Prince Charming. They don't come and beat us. Slowly and methodically the control creeps in and you don't even realize what's happening to you. People who are not in it ask, 'Why doesn't she just leave?' A lot of people don't understand that when we do leave, that is the most dangerous time."
Still was invited to speak at the event because of a recommendation by Marion County Sheriff Chris Blair, who heard her presentation at a law-enforcement function.
For Blair, domestic violence is more than a job-related concern. It also struck him on a personal level.
"My sister was murdered by her husband and then he committed suicide, so I know the impact of domestic violence and how it affects the family," he said. This (event) is to bring awareness to women that it's so important that you report it, so that you can get the help you need. There are people here that care about you."
Monica Bryant, MCCA family violence prevention coordinator, said last year's Walk of Hope went better than was expected. Nearly 500 people participated.
"It was a wonderful sight seeing hundreds of people walking over that State Road 200 bridge," she said. "It was not just women, but some of their husbands, and sons, little kids in strollers and people walking their dogs."
Nearly 3,000 domestic violence cases are reported every year in Marion County, Bryant said. The sad thing is, it's difficult to get people involved in preventive programs, she added.
"There is that stigma to it. Most women are embarrassed that this has happened to them," Bryant said. "We just want to get the word out to young women, especially, that they don't have to stay in these unhealthy relationships. There are resources out there."
The walk's co-organizer, CF professor of psychology Karla Wilson, said that because Still's presentation is rather graphic, a group of teacher education students will offer separate activities for young children.
Wilson said several positive things happened at the college following last year's program.
"We had a lot of students who became really passionate about this issue," Wilson said. "Several students formed a club, Student Anti-Violence Advocates. We also have a resource room, just to provide opportunities to give students information. We want to focus a lot on prevention as well as early-intervention."
Resource information tables will be set up on the grounds outside the college auditorium. Other outdoor activities will include an appearance by the CF Patriot Dancers and school mascot, a jazz performance by humanities professor Peter Smith, and a reading of poetry written by Debra Vasquez, a former CF professor who was shot to death by her husband in front of the Ocala Police Department in 2004.
The collection of poetry will be for sale for a minimum donation of $5, with funds going to the Family Violence Prevention workgroup.
Also on the agenda, Cynthia Barnes, an Ocala Police Department district service officer, will lead a Break the Chain dance, which was choreographed for One Billion Rising, a global movement against domestic violence.
"If you listen to the words of the song, you'll see how appropriate it is to domestic violence and putting an end to it," Barnes said. "It does bring awareness. We have to realize, we are our brother's keeper and our sister's keeper. It doesn't have to do with race, sex, age or economic status. And, kids get involved so soon. We need to put the information in their hands as soon as possible."

You know that feeling, when a film comes out that you really want to see but it's only showing at 22 cinemas – 15 of which are in London – and you live in Barnsley?
Well, you're not alone and Curzon are trying their hardest to meet the needs of the avid cinema-goer – or would-be cinema goer, if only prices were lower and cinemas closer and babysitters more available - with the launch of Curzon On Demand.
"The unique thing about Curzon On Demand is that you can watch some new cinema releases at home, on the same day as their cinema release," explains CEO Philip Knatchbull. "We just had great success with this, releasing Aki Kaurismaki's latest film, the Cannes Palme D'Or nominated Le Havre, simultaneously in cinemas and on Curzon On Demand."
Unlike other film on-demand providers, you only pay for films you actually watch - £10 per new release, £4 for recent releases, £2 for older films - and there's no joining or monthly fee.
Their dramatic, tongue-in-cheek video trailer sums their plans up rather nicely, pledging to take you to a place of "unfettered film fantasy".
It's all a very nice idea, but can anything really replace the buzz of - however expensive, or far - simply going to the cinema? And how does this compare to experiences of similar services? Let us know if you've come across any other similarly good-sounding ideas and we'll be sure to publish them, so other readers can share the unmatched joy of a box of popcorn and a good flick, whatever the surroundings.

Car Review
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee: New Car Review
The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee can trace its roots to when the merger between Chrysler and Mercedes was still alive and well. As a result, the Grand Cherokee benefits by having its platform and some suspension parts shared with the rock-solid Mercedes-Benz ML. This odd union has created a Grand Cherokee unlike any before it, with a rigid chassis, meticulously tight-fitting body panels and an interior that can finally compete with overseas rivals. To cover all its bases, Jeep gives the Grand Cherokee shopper a choice of potent engines -- including a new turbodiesel V6 -- and three different 4-wheel-drive systems.
Statistics tell us less than 10 percent of SUV owners take their 4x4 vehicles off-road. Most seem quite content with a simple all-wheel-drive system that will get them through snow or aid when pulling a boat up a slippery ramp. So why did Jeep endow the 2013 Grand Cherokee with so much off-road-capable equipment when the numbers say owners will likely never use it? Well, if they didn't, the Grand Cherokee just wouldn't be a Jeep. And, to many owners, it's the ability to go off-road (or through deep snow or loose sand) that draws them to this legendary 5-passenger SUV.
What's New for 2014?
The 2014 Grand Cherokee gets an exterior makeover, a turbodiesel V6 engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission and an updated interior as well.
What We Like
Superior off-road capability; first-rate build and interior quality; good driving dynamics; torquey and fuel-efficient turbodiesel; it's a Jeep
What We Don't
Poor fuel economy with all-wheel drive; no third-row seat; pricey upper-level models; narrow interior
How Much?
$29,790 to $64,190
Fuel Economy
Sporting an 8-speed automatic transmission across the board, the Grand Cherokee starts with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that's good for 290 horsepower and 17 miles per gallon city/25 mpg hwy with rear-wheel drive.
Optional on most models is a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel rated at 240 hp and a serious 420 lb-ft of torque. Efficiency is expected to approach 30 mpg on the highway, but Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy estimates were not available as of this writing.
The available 5.7-liter V8 pumps out 360 hp but still manages 14 mpg city/22 mpg hwy with rear-wheel drive (14 mpg city/20 mpg hwy with 4-wheel drive).
Finally, the SRT8's extreme 6.4-liter V8 churns out 470 hp and gets a dismal 13 mpg city/19 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee is available in five trim levels -- Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit and SRT8.
The Laredo ($29,790) might be the entry-level model, but its interior shows no sign of cost-cutting. The dash, door panels and seats are covered in premium materials, and the standard equipment roster looks like some competitors' high-end options lists.
Move to the Limited ($36,790) or Overland ($44,190) trims and the Grand Cherokee offers an interior to rival the best from BMW, Audi or Land Rover. Available features worth noting include a power rear lift gate, heated rear seats, a panoramic glass moon roof, Garmin navigation, adaptive cruise control, front park assist and ventilated front seats.
The Summit ($48,990) comes standard with practically every luxury available, including 20-inch wheels and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
The performance-oriented SRT8 ($64,190) boasts a ridiculous 6.4-liter V8 and an array of go-fast goodies, including a lowered suspension that ironically makes this Jeep practically useless off-road.
Options include a rear-seat entertainment system with Blu-ray capability and a towing package.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has front-side impact, side curtain airbags, and electronic traction and stability control. Available features include a blind-spot warning system, radar-based Forward Collision Warning and Rear Cross Path Detection system and a brake system that helps dry the rotors when it's wet outside.
In government crash tests, the Grand Cherokee scored four stars out of five, including four stars for frontal protection and five stars for side protection.
Behind the Wheel
On paved roads, the Grand Cherokee delivers a solid driving experience, with excellent marks in ride comfort, handling, acceleration and driver feedback. Its independent rear suspension not only improves the Grand Cherokee's handling, it allows for greater vertical wheel travel when off-roading. Another off-road plus is the Jeep's narrow body, which allows easier maneuvering in tight spots. You can even tow up to 7,400 pounds with the 5.7-liter V8.
The Grand Cherokee can be ordered as a rear-wheel-drive-only vehicle or equipped with one of three 4-wheel-drive systems. Laredo trims feature Quadra-Trac I, which is essentially a permanent all-wheel-drive system. Optional on the Laredo and standard on the Limited and Overland is the Quadra-Trac II system, which features a 2-speed transfer case, hill-descent control and the Selec-Terrain system. V8-equipped Grand Cherokees use the Quadra-Drive II, which adds an electronic limited-slip rear differential. The SRT8 gets its own version of the Selec-Terrain system with settings for Auto, Sport, Tow and Track.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Edge -- The Edge offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine nearly as powerful as the Jeep's V6 and with much better fuel economy. Unlike the Grand Cherokee, the Edge is not a true off-road vehicle, and its tow rating is limited to 3,500 pounds.
Toyota Highlander -- The Highlander isn't off-road capable and doesn't offer the same level of sophistication or the Grand Cherokee's V8 engine. Conversely, the Highlander can seat seven, has superior resale history and offers a high-mileage hybrid model.
Land Rover LR4 -- The Land Rover offers the same advanced off-road technology as the Grand Cherokee, and it carries the added bragging rights of being a luxury SUV. But for less money as a base LR4, you can get a loaded Overland with more features, a better ride, better resale and better fuel economy.
AutoTrader's Advice
If venturing off-road is one reason you're buying a Grand Cherokee, we'd take a turbodiesel model with the optional Quadra-Trac II and Selec-Terrain systems. We'd probably throw in the navigation and upgraded audio systems. If luxury is more important to you than rock climbing, go with the Overland model. We'd avoid the V8 engines (they're just too fuel-thirsty) unless you need to tow large items -- and unless your year-round weather precludes ever seeing snow, we'd also advise against the rear-wheel-drive models. After all, a Jeep is meant for tackling snow and mud, and going off-road. If you're only driving on dry paved roads, plenty of vehicles make better sense (and get better fuel economy) than the Grand Cherokee.

Actress Nicole Sullivan Sheds 35 Pounds of 'Baby-Weight' on Jenny Craig, Showcasing a Fit-At-40 Bikini-Body for the Mother of Two
Actress-Comedienne and Mother to Flaunt New Bikini Body in National Television Commercial
CARLSBAD, Calif // PRNewswire // -- Jenny Craig, Inc, one of the nation's leading authorities on weight management, announced today that actress-comedienne and mother of two Nicole Sullivan has reached her goal weight on the Jenny Craig Weight Management Program, losing 35 pounds in 16 weeks*. Nicole, who will turn forty on April 21st, will showcase her new, better-than-before-baby bikini body in a national television commercial airing March 22nd.
The 5' 4 1/2" comedienne, who recently signed on to join William Shatner in the new Twitter-based CBS comedy pilot "S**t My Dad Says," is the mother of two boys under the age of three. After trying various fad diets, cleanses and unhealthy methods to drop weight after her first child, Sullivan found herself coping with mood swings and weight loss that only lasted a few weeks at a time. Following her second pregnancy, Sullivan joined Jenny Craig after her son was six weeks old and pledged to follow Jenny Craig's clinically proven weight management program for safe, moderate weight loss.
"I am beyond thrilled with my success on the Jenny Craig program," said Sullivan. "Before starting Jenny Craig, I really felt like I had tried every diet under the sun, and nothing worked – not to mention how crabby I always was from taking unrealistic steps to lose weight! With Jenny, I finally feel like I have a partner in achieving my goals and staying accountable. My consultant Becky has made losing the weight easy for me and kept me motivated along the way.
"After having Beckett, I dreamed of a day where I'd feel comfortable enough in a swimsuit, let alone a bikini, to join my husband on pool-side play dates. Getting into a bikini again and feeling as good as I feel now, especially now that I am almost forty, is such an amazing feeling. Jenny Craig has truly made a difference in my relationship with food and with my body, and the best part of it all is that now my two children will always see Mommy as healthy! And my husband Jason can't be more thrilled; he's lost 25 pounds of 'sympathy weight' to boot."
Sullivan followed the food-body-mind principles of Jenny Craig by meeting with her consultant weekly, following a nutritional balanced menu and gradually increasing her activity over the course of four months from walking 1-2 times a week up to 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. Nicole lost 35 lbs on the Jenny Craig program in 16 weeks* by adapting portion control and walking. After she hit her goal weight of 124 lbs, Nicole wanted to get toned and worked with trainer Christopher Lane once or twice a week for four weeks to firm up by incorporating mom-friendly traditional exercises in her home such as squats, lunges, push ups and sit ups.
"We are so proud of Nicole for not only achieving her weight loss goals with Jenny Craig but to find that confidence she'd been missing," said Steve Bellach, Vice President, North American Marketing, at Jenny Craig. "She has such an inspiring story for women – especially mothers – who have struggled with their weight while trying to balance all of life's demands. We congratulate her on her success and wish her all the best in maintaining her great new physique!"
The national television commercial featuring Sullivan's new bikini body will begin airing Monday, March 22. Sullivan joins an exciting roster of Jenny Craig celebrity clients who have already achieved their weight loss goals or are well on their way, including Valerie Bertinelli, Jason Alexander, Sara Rue, Phylicia Rashad and Queen Latifah.
