Summertime Safety
Ah, summertime…just about everyone looks forward to shrugging off the long, cold winter nights and welcoming an abundance of hot, sunny days. Warm weather allows us to spend more time outdoors with our family and friends—and our pets. Both you and your dog can enjoy a carefree, fun-filled summer by following these simple safety tips.
Car Safety
Do not leave your dog in the car—even "just for a minute." You'd be amazed by how quickly the temperature in your vehicle can rise during warm weather. According to the National Weather Service (NOAA), a dark seat or dashboard can reach a temperature of over 200°F when exposed to the sun! That heat warms the trapped air inside the car, and even leaving the windows open does not do much to dissipate it. In just two minutes, your car can heat up to an unsafe temperature.
Cool Off
Some new products on the market are designed to keep your pet cool while he's lounging around the house or sitting outside. Beds and mats that use water or other materials designed to cool him off can be a great help during the warm summer months.
Ease Up on the Cardio
We all know that exercise is good for dogs. But avoid strenuous exercise with your pet, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Unlike humans, dogs don't really sweat. They lose a bit of moisture through their foot pads, but they mostly cool themselves through panting, which is not very efficient in hot weather. This means that dogs have a tendency to overheat quickly. A nice walk early in the morning or after dinner will help get some of his energy out while protecting him from the heat.
Paw Protection
Although your dog's foot pads may seem tough, they can (and will) burn on hot surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and metal. Avoid surfaces that have been baking in the sun. Walk him on grassy spots, and if need be, carry him over surfaces that are too hot to stand on. Consider purchasing dog booties, rubber boots that fit over your dog's paws to protect him from hot (or cold) sidewalks.
Shady Stuff
If your dog spends time in your fenced-in backyard, he will need shady spots to rest during the day. If your yard has mature trees, you're in luck! Otherwise, you'll need to add an awning or some kind of shelter that provides relief from the sun. Don't let your dog stay outside for long periods of time. A small kiddie pool filled with water placed in the shade will also help on those hot, humid days.
A dog's coat is meant to protect him from all types of weather, including the sun. However, if your dog is hairless or shaved for the summer, he will need to wear sunscreen. The tip of a dog's nose, especially if he's pale-nosed, can burn. And if your dog likes to lie on his back to get some rays on his belly, use sunscreen on that area as well. The sunscreen you choose should be pet-safe and non-toxic, as there's a pretty good chance he will be licking it at some point.
Parasite Protection
Summer means more time spent outdoors, so your dog will have greater exposure to pesky parasites like fleas and ticks. Protect him with a preventive topical medication recommended by your veterinarian. Check your dog for fleas and ticks after he's been playing around outside, and ask your vet about the safest way to remove any parasites you do find on your dog.
Water, Water Everywhere…
Yes, it seems obvious, but it's easy to overlook how much more water your dog will need when the weather turns hot. Make sure that he has a constant supply of cool, clean water available. Bacteria can grow quickly in the summer heat, so keep the bowl clean. Consider installing a pet fountain in your backyard. (It dispenses water when a pet is in close proximity.) And if you are traveling with your dog, bring some bottled water with you to keep him from becoming dehydrated.
Wet and Wild
Many dogs love the water; some breeds, like Labrador Retrievers, carry the ability to swim in their DNA. But not all breeds are Michael Phelps in the making. Take the Bulldog, for example—his heart may be willing, but his body will most likely not be up for the challenge. According to PetMD.com, an estimated 40,000 dogs die each year due to drowning. Dog owners with pools in their yards need to keep a close eye on their pets. A dog who accidentally falls in—even if he's a strong swimmer—may not be able to climb out. If you are vacationing by an ocean, lake, or other body of water, the same cautionary measures apply.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the Washington Redskins trademark registration, calling the National Football League team's name "disparaging to Native Americans," the Washington Post reports.
The case before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, was filed on behalf of five Native Americans, the newspaper said. It was the second time such a case was filed.
"We decide, based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans at the respective times they were registered," the agency wrote.
"The Board ruled that the Trademark Office should never have registered these trademarks in the first place," Jesse Witten, the plaintiffs' lead attorney, said in a press release. "We presented a wide variety of evidence - including dictionary definitions and other reference works, newspaper clippings, movie clips, scholarly articles, expert linguist testimony, and evidence of the historic opposition by Native American groups - to demonstrate that the word 'redskin' is an ethnic slur."
The ruling announced Wednesday comes after a campaign to change the name has gained momentum over the past year. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has vowed he will never change the name.
The decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is similar to one it issued in 1999. That ruling was overturned in 2003 in large part on a technicality because the courts decided that the plaintiffs were too old.
The new case was launched in 2006 by a younger group of Native Americans. A hearing was held in March 2013.
Just like last time, the Redskins can retain their trademark protection during an appeal.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

BOUND BROOK — A car fire inside a gas station garage spread to the building structure, destroying the garage and closing Route 28 for hours.
At about 11:32 a.m., police received a report of a car on fire inside a garage bay at the Bound Brook BP gas station at 606 West Union Ave., also known as Route 28, according to Lt. David Czarcinski of the Bound Brook Police Department.
Fire units arrived to find the garage fully engulfed in flames, police said.
Although the car and the garage were a total loss, the attached food minimart received extensive smoke and water damage but only some fire damage, police said.
There were no injuries, but the gas station and minimart will most likely remain closed indefinitely, police said.
Route 28 was closed from the Bridgewater border to Thompson Avenue, and remained closed as of 3 p.m., with N.J. Department of Transportation detours in place.

Welcome to Hell's Kitchen and other reality nightmares. Has anyone paid a visit?
A very kind food friend recently advised me to watch "Hell's Kitchen," a restaurant reality show aired Monday nights on Fox 5.
I recorded the program and finally tuned in the other night. Dang, was that stressful! No offense, but I'll never do that again. "Top Chef" does the same thing to my blood pressure. Sure, it's addictive but oh, so carefully edited and oh so embarassing for the culinary egos involved. I guess that's entertainment.
Back in the televised days of "The Restaurant" with Rocco DeSpirito and Jefferey Chodorow, I found the show terrifying and nightmare-inducing. It was every horrific thing imaginable happening in the sacred heart of an eatery --- all on camera.
Think about it: Ego tripping executive chef Rocco rides to his restaurant on a moped (close up on brand name) sometime in the mid-morning to see a line of job applicants circling the block. (Note: Any notable, self-respecting chef with an interest in a business just about to have a Grand Opening would get into work early in the morning. Oh, oh --- and show me a real New York City restaurant with an eager a crowd of potential waiters --- and a really good pool of people at that --- queuing up for a job. Yeah, right.)
When "Rocco's" --- that was the name of the TV-ready restaurant --- opened to the public, there was one episode where food critics and customers alike were freaking out in the dining room (food wasn't coming out, waiters were turning on the drippy, phony charm, captains and runners were darting around exasperated and confused, people quit/were fired during service) while Rocco's mama calmly rolled the meatballs. Calmly. I felt like THROWING meatballs at the TV after watching that.
Oh, the agony. After two episodes of the American Express-sponsored nonsense, I couldn't watch anymore. Jeez, the show really got under my skin. These people looked like buffoons and made a mockery out of my wonderful profession. I wrote a letter to AMEX complaining of the absurdity of the whole concept. Doesn't Rocco shop the Greenmarket? Doesn't Rocco go to the Fulton Fish Market? Alas, AMEX still hasn't replied to the rantings of a real, live restaurateur.
Well, "The Restaurant" and "Rocco's" are long gone from the food-scape. I can't say the show did much for either Mr. DeSpirito's or Mr. Chodorow's reputations. But I guess it's pretty significant that I remembered AMEX sponsored the circus.
What's your take on reality food shows?

Jersey City mayoral hopeful Steve Fulop released another plank in his platform this week, saying as mayor he would require all department directors to live in Jersey City, eliminate all non-essential city vehicles and sponsor a referendum asking voters if they want to move city elections to November.
Fulop, also the Downtown representative on the City Council, is challenging Mayor Jerramiah Healy in the May 14 city race. The councilman's latest platform – on government structure and modernization – is one of four his campaign has released, and it would help "restore our residents' full faith" in city government, Fulop said.
"By modernizing our operating practices and technology, evaluating and improving the structure of our departments and city government as a whole, and promoting ideas that put the people first, I believe Jersey City can be the example other cities look to when adopting best practices in governmental operations," he said in a statement from his campaign.
The newest platform is a 13-point plan, available on Fulop's campaign website, that also includes a two-term limit for elected officials, a redesign of the city's website and a "meritocracy-based" hiring system that would require the city to review at least three résumés for every position with an annual salary of $60,000 or more.
Fulop would also seek to replicate New York City's popular 311 help line, which allows residents to report non-emergencies while not clogging the 911 system.
City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said Fulop's proposals have already been implemented by the Healy administration.
The city's current website is "robust" and "award winning," and in the middle of a redesign, while GovQA already handles non-emergency calls from residents, Morrill said.
"In addition, interfaces to other third-party products such as Qscend and SeeClickFix are also being examined to ensure that no matter how constituents choose to enter their requests, the correct data is recorded and forwarded to the appropriate agency for action with minimal duplication of effort," she said.
Fulop campaign spokesman Bruno Tedeschi said he is "not surprised" to hear the city's claims that Fulop's proposals are essentially old news.
"The reality is that with streets that have trash all over them, graffiti popping up on buildings, city parks covered with weeds, and constituent concerns not being addressed, it is hard to say that our plan won't be an improvement," Fulop spokesman Bruno Tedeschi said.

CORNWALL, Ontario -- Farm Boy Fresh Market, an independent operator based here, is reaching for a piece of market share with a large, powerful produce format that owners Normand, Daniel and Jean-Louis Bellemare claim is the freshest around. "First and foremost at Farm Boy, we are produce," said Daniel Bellemare, Farm Boy's director of human services. "We like to call ourselves a fresh market as opposed to a grocery store, because we're offering groceries as a complement to the fresh foods. ...

One would think being part of a cartel that controls 75% of the dynamic random access memory market would be enough clout to help turn a profit. Yet five years of losses perhaps explains why Infineon Technologies (NYSE: IFX ) resorted to price-fixing to boost performance. It would seem those chickens are now coming home to roost.
Four executives of the stepchild of German industrial behemoth Siemens (NYSE: SI ) will be going to prison for four to six months for their role in the DRAM market price-fixing scheme. Although most are German citizens, the Infineon executives will be wearing American correctional facility stripes and will each have to pay $250,000 in fines. That's in addition to the $160 million in fines the company paid two months ago.
Infineon, with Samsung, Micron Technology (NYSE: MU ) , and Hynix Semiconductor, dominate the DRAM market. Those other three companies have announced that they, too, have received subpoenas from the Justice Department in connection with its price-fixing investigation.
The four sales executives admitted to meeting with other unidentified co-conspirators to discuss DRAM pricing, agree on prices for DRAM chips, and exchange customer information to monitor the prices charged. The customers affected by the price-fixing scheme were Dell (Nasdaq: DELL ) , Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) , Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) , Gateway, IBM, and Compaq, but none would comment on the latest events.
Samsung and Hynix were identified as being involved in the price-fixing scheme through court papers filed in a separate court action between the suppliers and Rambus. An executive at Micron plead guilty to obstruction in the Justice Department's price-fixing investigation, and the company has since entered an amnesty program. The department has said the investigation is still "very active and far-reaching."
Infineon went public in 1999 after being spun off from Siemens. After reporting a profit the first year, the company has been hemorrhaging red ink ever since, racking up losses of more than $3.7 billion. Faced also with a CEO who resigned "for personal reasons" earlier this year and the specter of the price-fixing scandal, the company and its stock have been in the doldrums, though the stock price has rebounded some 20% from its summer lows.
The DRAM market is a $27 billion industry, and its chips are found in everything from personal computers and cell phones to PDAs and other consumer electronic devices. Samsung is the market leader with a 30% market share, followed by Micron, Hynix, and Infineon, respectively.
The DRAM maker's U.S. operations are based in San Jose, Calif., not so far from San Francisco Bay -- and Alcatraz penitentiary. Perhaps a fitting reminder for this widening scandal as other birds come home to roost.
Fool contributor Rich Duprey thinks Alcatraz is an excellent model for the penal system. He does not own any of the stocks mentioned in this article.

The Rap Sheet,
We need to support each other in positive ways as we are all in this together.
To make this point more clear, all anyone has to do is look at Officers Jason Sery (who shot and killed James Jahar Perez in 2004) and Chris Humphreys. Both of these officers were very well respected by everyone they worked around, both citizens and fellow officers. They exemplified everything one could imagine a police officer should be. They were dedicated, professional police officers doing the job when something tragic happened. Both of these officers were involved in different situations that, when reviewed objectively, were found to have done everything right. They were both cleared by the grand jury, and every subsequent level of oversight. Yet both of these officers have been crucified by some in the media, some members of the public, and worse of all, publicly ignored and discarded by the administration. The sad reality of police work in Portland is, every single one of us is just a radio call away from being mistreated the same way. This is why we should remember that we are in this together. If you see these officers, give them your support. More importantly though, when you engage the citizens of Portland in discussions about police work, take a moment to express your support for them then too.
While we all know we will never gain the support of every citizen of Portland, I wholeheartedly believe we still have the support of the majority of the citizens. We will once again enjoy a time where it will be socially acceptable to praise the police publicly. Maybe if we can get the citizens to start PUBLICLY speaking in support of us during socially charged incidents, we can get the administration to do so too. Until then, we have only ourselves to rely on.

The wedding plans were kept so tightly under wraps that an editor from The National Enquirer remarked that JFK Jr. could "run the CIA." The evening ceremony took place in the tiny Brack Chapel of the First African Baptist Church, which was lit by candles and kerosene lamps. The 40 guests included the late Senator Teddy Kennedy and John's sister Caroline. The bride wore a silk crepe bias-cut gown designed by Narciso Rodriguez. (Its simple, body-skimming sheath silhouette influenced bridal fashion as we now know it, making it okay for brides to wear sexier, non-traditional designs.) Rachel Lambert Mellon, who created the White House's Rose Garden for President Kennedy, chose the flower arrangements, and the reception was held at the nearby Greyfield Inn.Getty Images

I'm impressed, this week's photo was a bit more difficult than we've had in the past couple of contests and still you guys all came through!
Once again we have a couple of Honorable Mentions:
swinger469: "OK the hunters are gone now get me down from here !!!"
scottbrodeur: "Trying to blend in as best as possible, Bob Moose goes to retrieve his sandlot team's baseball from the grumpy neighbor's yard."
More after the jump...
We also had a couple of odd entries that insisted that this was something other than a properly labeled moose, like a reindeer or an elk. I won't mention any names but I'll just say, it gave me a chuckle so thanks for that orangemass and Carl8. Heh!
Now without further ado, here is this week's Caption Contest - moose for sale edition winner!
Congratulations go out to tummyrub! Remember to claim your bragging rights as soon as possible as they do have an expiration date, once I post the next caption contest photo on Sunday the rights will expire on the Moose for Sale edition.
Tune in next week when things are really going to get strange with some odd Easter preparations.

Amazing flower painter teaches at Brushstrokes
SMOKEY POINT A Lakewood-area resident with a Stanwood address, Coleen Allen paints outstanding close-ups of flowers as well as animals, especially horses, and still lifes. Although its not happening at the moment, Allen said she has supporter herself with her art in the past.
She believes that art has the potential to heal all not only the artist making the art, but also the viewer who enjoys the art.
My parents bought me my first set of paints when I was 13 years old, Allen said. A Northwest native, Allen grew up in Clearview and graduated from Snohomish High School. Largely self-taught, Allen has continued painting steadily through her life, and has enjoyed teaching to children in schools and to elders at senior centers. She teaches wherever she happens to be living, having taught in Monroe in Sultan before she moved to this area.##M:more]##
Now she is teaching two weekly classes at Brushstrokes Art Supply in Smokey Point and will offer a free watercolor demonstration Saturday, Oct. 28, from 1 - 2:30 p.m.
After attending Seattle Academy of Art, Allen has attended many workshops through the years, at the Coupeville Arts Center on Whidbey Ilsand and at the Monroe Art Center as well as from artists in British Columbia and Seattle. She has enjoyed learning from Kiff Holland and Sandra Freckleton, whom she calls a very good artists.
Kiff does landscapes and still lifes. Hes very well rounded, Allen said she personally really likes to use bright and bold colors and puts lots of movement into her paintings.
I paint every day, she said. It keeps me going.
Her weekly classes at Brushstrokes focus on watercolor painting, from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesdays and from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday evenings. They cost $75 for six weeks. Each class is two hours.
The classes is very structured with lots of notes, Allen said. And we all paint together. She said her regular classes have been attracting 6 or 7 people and they all seem to be bonding together.
Everybody likes to share their own favorite techniques, she said.
Allen show her work at Serendipity in La Conner and at Offset Corner in Snohomish.
I was in Gallery in the Loft on Camano Island but just pulled out of there, she said.
Feeling strongly that art should be taught in schools, Allen has taught through the years in a variety of different contexts, including public schools from Gold Bar to Snohomish, and at senrio centers.
In an effort to diversify, Allen is looking into having her designs printed onto different itms like mugs and triets.
I taught in my studio before I oved to Lakewood, but I dont have room now.
She has one grandson and is teaching art in his class in Alger. Allen has taught painting at the Stillaguamish Senior Center and at Ben Franklin in Monroe
I was paid sometimes, sometimes not, she said. I do it because I really believe that art is important, especially to children.
Allen also enjoys gardening and often spends time shooting pictures to paint from in her own yard, and at nurseries, when she wants something more exotic.
I?like to paint from life, but dont object to painting from photographs.
Allen is a member of Stanwood-Camano Art Guild and Camano Island Arts Association.
She has painted race horses on commission and did a watercolor of wheat fields for a corporation in Montan last summer,
She finds her clients primarily through word of mouth,
I think art is healing and inspiring. When I was working with elderly people I saw some who finally had a reason to get up in the morning. Art helps people suffering from a loss. It can be inspring for all age groups.
In her short time of teaching at at Brushstrokes, Art Supply, she has already made friendships with people in the class and the students are all getting to be friends, too, she said.
The host of the class, Linda Wright, said its true. The group seems to have a lot of fun. One student, Arlington business woman, Penny Peeters, Penway Printing, just started taking the watercolor class. Im excited to try some watercolors. Ive never done that.

—Put everything in the cooker.
—Set the timer for six or eight or 10 hours.
Her fish chowder is more complicated. There's a third step, sauteing an onion, and another calls that for adding half-and-half during the last hour of cooking.
But if she were writing the recipe today, says Good, who with her husband, Merle, owns Good Books Publishing based in Intercourse, Pa., "I'd add the fish at the end."
Fish in the slow cooker seems counter-intuitive, doesn't it? Fillets cook quickly — albeit with a narrow window between done and dry, especially when they are baked. The most common reaction to my recent kitchen experiments has been: What's the point?
In our house, fish is often an afterthought. My fussy teenage daughter won't eat the stuff, but my partner, Dan, doesn't eat terrestrials. So if the menu I'm preparing for my kid has meat, he'll coat a hunk of fish with packaged breading and slap it in a frying pan a few minutes before dinnertime, leaving a crusty surface and a lingering odor.
In the meantime, I've fallen hard for my slow cooker. Preparing meals just seemed too easy. A chicken thrown into the pot before I head out for the day is fall-off-the-bone succulent several hours later; lamb stew simmers all day. I even made a lasagna that emerged with its layers intact. The cooker uses little energy and doesn't require anyone to stand over it. I was so enchanted, I wanted to share the love with Dan.
My first attempt at slow-cooker fish was alarmingly successful: a drizzle of oil in the ceramic insert, some coarsely chopped shallots and smashed garlic, a hunk of farm-raised salmon. I squeezed lemon juice over the fish and set the cooker to low. An hour later, a creamy, kind-of-poached salmon emerged. With a smattering of chopped fresh dill, it was dinner.
A similar preparation appears in "The New Slow Cooker," Brigit Binn's book for Williams-Sonoma. She sets her salmon in a tarragon-and-white-wine-based broth that has already heated for 30 minutes. Yet the results are the same: "The texture is amazing," she says. The low-and-slow method of cooking fish, she adds, "kind of approaches sous vide."
Since the publication of Binn's cookbook in 2010, one of her most frequent reader inquiries has been about fish. (She says another is, "Does it matter which crockpot I have?")
Today's slow cookers are more sophisticated than their forebears, with removable inserts for easy cleaning and serving, plus digital timers that shift to "warm" when the cook period ends. Some even boast of stove-top-safe inner receptacles, for browning meat or sauteing an onion in the same pot.
Technique has evolved, as well. "You can't just dump and go," says Julia Collin Davison, executive food editor at America's Test Kitchen, which publishes Cook's Illustrated. The more hands-on approach is what most slow-cooker fish recipes call for.
"To me, slow cookers were a gimmicky appliance," Davison says. But after working on both "Slow Cooker Revolution" (2011) and "Slow Cooker Revolution Volume 2: The Easy-Prep Edition," coming out in September, she has changed her opinion: "With the right recipe, you can produce a well-crafted meal."
(Makes 6 to 8 appetizer servings)
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (pimenton; may substitute sweet paprika)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds extra-large (26-30 count) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Combine the oil, garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes in the slow cooker, stirring until blended. Cover and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp to coat evenly; cover and cook on HIGH for about 10 minutes, then stir to ensure the shrimp are cooking evenly. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until all of the shrimp are just opaque.
— Adapted from "The Slow Cooker Revolution, Volume 2: The Easy Prep Edition," from America's Test Kitchen (September, 2013).

India's state-owned mining operation Coal India Limited, the world's largest coal producer, is riding roughshod over the rights and land of vulnerable indigenous communities in pursuit of corporate expansion plans, Amnesty International says in a new report.
Christian Aid has welcomed Energy Secretary Amber Rudd's announcement that the UK will stop using coal and also notes a new OECD agreement to tighten restrictions on exports of coal technology.
Activists have welcomed the overturning of a decision to allow liquidators for Scottish Coal to abandon environmental obligations at former opencast mines.
The UK government has been accused of making an empty pledge on overseas fossil fuel projects, in another blow to its green pretensions.
The grim facts of environmental degradation are causing worldwide economic loss and that means greater poverty and health problems, says Fr Shay Cullen, focusing on the ecological and financial cost of coal, and upon the impact on East Asia. Time and again short term benefits are mostly for the rich while the environmental damage hurts the poor, he says, citing a report commissioned by the G8 and the United Nation's Environmental Programme.
World Bank funding for coal power stations has soared 40-fold over the last five years to hit a record high of $4.4 billion in 2010, new figures reveal.
Ministers been accused of going "backwards", by delaying plans to introduce an Environmental Performance Standard (EPS) for power companies.

BERNARDS — Republicans are looking for more candidates to join the two who have announced they'll run in the June primary for an open Township Committee spot on the November ballot.
A Democrat is running in June as well.
The Bernards Township Republican Municipal Committee will conduct a screening for potential candidates to run on the Republican ticket in the June primary for one open Township Committee seat, according to John Bayeux, municipal committee chairman.
The one open township committee seat is being vacated by Scott Spitzer, who has chosen not to run for re-election.
The screening will be held at 7 p.m. on March 18 at the Liberty Corner Fire House, 95 Church St., in Basking Ridge.
Carol Bianchi, chairwoman of the Bernards Township Planning Board, and Kevin Orr, chairman of the zoning board, both announced in February that they would seek the municipal committee's endorsement to run in the Republican primary for township committee.
Bayeux said that the township committee has a long conservative tradition of fiscal responsibility to serve the interest of all its township constituents. The five-member committee is currently all Republican.
"For the first time in years, we will not have an incumbent running for re-election, Bayeux said. "We will therefore be looking for a solid candidate who will work with the other four members of the committee to continue this tradition."
Bayeux said Senator Tom Kean, R-21, Assemblyman Jon Bramnick, R-21, and Assemblywoman Nancy Munoz, R-21 will attend the screening, as will Freeholder Pat Walsh and Sheriff Frank Provenzano.
Prospective Republican candidates must contact Bayeux at 908-542-0653 by March 16 to be placed on the agenda for the screening process.
On the other side of the aisle, David Ferdinand will be running in the June Democratic primary, and so far he is unopposed in his party primary. It's his second try for a committee seat.
"It's a very Republican town," Ferdinand said. "Part of what I want to be is the loyal opposition, trying to do politics a different way. It's important to get rid of the old methods and instead concentrate on issues and talk about them rationally."
Ferdinand said that one of his top issues is the state of the electrical power system in the wake of storms like Sandy, or the 2011 snow storm.
"It's ridiculous to me that one of the greatest towns in the U.S. goes for between one and two months a year without power in the 21st century," Ferdinand said. "The regulations environment makes any kind of change impossible, and the public utilities commission is absolutely toothless."
Ferdinand said that we are reaching the end of an era as far as the power supply in this country is concerned, between the reliability, supply and price of oil and the outmoded power distribution system.
He said that JCP&L is spending tens of millions of dollars – but it's really the taxpayers' money — on outdated technology.
"Burying the power lines would be a capital improvement they can borrow to pay for or would pass along to us" Ferdinand said. "But it's an infinite expense not to bury the lines and have to keep repairing them every year."
Ferdinand thinks that in 50 years the grid will be comprised of small capacity generation spread through the grid and localized to where the service is needed.
"And what better place on the planet to try it out than a rural town like Bernards," Ferdinand said.
While Ferdinand has big ideas about what he'd like to get done, he's also taking a pragmatic stance on this chances.
"Let's say I win — it would still be one Democratic vote against four Republicans," Ferdinand said. "What makes it hard to run as a Democrat is that these (Republican Township Committee) people are doing a great job. But still, 40 percent of registered voters are Democrats, and they are going unrepresented. I'd like to do something about that."

There are four men and four women now remaining in the 2013 French Open. The list of eight remaining players is a strong one, and we should have at least three, if not four, very intriguing semifinal encounters over the next couple days.
The top two contenders on each side are still very much alive. Unfortunately for the men, the two favorites have a battle in the semis instead of the finals.
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have combined to win 10 of the last 12 Grand Slam singles titles, but they must play in Friday's semifinal round after meeting in the finals of Roland Garros in 2012.
Another interesting factor for the men's semis is that for the first time since the 2010 French Open, there will be a Grand Slam semifinal contested without one of the Big Four in men's tennis (Djokovic, Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray). Murray withdrew from the tournament due to a bad back while Federer was upset in the quarters by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
The Frenchman Tsonga will be looking to advance to his second career Grand Slam final (Australian Open 2008) while David Ferrer has never won a major semifinal.
The two women's favorites are the two top seeds—defending champion Maria Sharapova as well as world No. 1 Serena Williams. Not always known in the past for their play on the clay, that has really changed in the past two seasons.
They are joined in Thursday's semifinal matches by 2012 runner-up Sara Errani and two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka. All four players are currently ranked in the top five in the world.
Within the next 96 hours, we will have two more Grand Slam champions crowned. Let's preview the four semifinals, in order of compelling factor.

**UTPA and The College of Arts and Humanities Advisory Board will host the CODA Concert at 2 p.m. June 3 at the Fine Arts Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.**
The first time Dr. Dahlia Guerra set foot on The University of Texas-Pan American campus and entered its Fine Arts Auditorium she was a teenager about to meet her new piano teacher.
"I remember walking in there and it seemed huge to me, the seats were so bright and red, and the pianist on stage with her sparkling dress," Guerra, dean of UTPA's College of Arts and Humanities said. "She played the most beautiful piece, which later ... has become one of my most beloved pieces that I play, it is my signature piece by Granados 'The Maiden and the Nightingale.' Even now when I walk in there I still picture my teacher on stage playing."
Guerra recalls when she was first allowed to play on the stage as a student after winning a competition, a major achievement since students were not allowed to perform on stage. She also remembers numerous other performances there as a faculty member, as a soloist with the Valley Symphony Orchestra, and with the UTPA Mariachi Aztlán.
"I have a gamut of memories of that place," she said.
On June 3, Guerra, joined by fellow artists and patrons of the Fine Arts building, will bid adieu to the place that has served as a cultural center of the Rio Grande Valley for more than 40 years, as well as a second home for Guerra, who had rehearsed and performed there as a student at the University.
UT Pan American will host its CODA Concert at the Fine Arts Auditorium, which will feature a duet by Guerra, a classically trained pianist, accompanied by one of her former teachers, Dr. John Raimo, music faculty emeritus of UTPA. The concert also includes theater, music and dance performances by current and former faculty members, students, alumni and others who have performed at the auditorium throughout its existence. The College of Arts and Humanities Advisory Board is sponsoring the event.
The name coda comes from the musical term signifying the end of a piece. Organizers of the event said it was a fitting name to mark the end of an era and prepare for a new one with the new Fine Arts Complex to be completed by 2014. (The University is raising money for a recital hall in the new center, which was not included in the initial funding it received to build the complex.)
"It's a gathering place," Guerra said. "It was the heart of the community and just a symbol of how important the arts are in the community."
Over the years, UT Pan American's Fine Arts Auditorium hosted numerous performances put on by UTPA faculty, as well as the Valley Symphony Orchestra, student music competitions and theater productions. It also hosted famous musicians such as pianist Jorge Bolet and public figures including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and author Maya Angelou.
The new fine arts center will provide more rehearsal and classroom space for the University, as well as state-of-the-art equipment, which Guerra and other faculty said is much needed for their students and others who use the facility.
"We're going to enjoy the new building, and I'm looking forward to that," Guerra said. "We have to look at what are the improvements for our campus and community, so this is a huge plus for us. But I'll never forget this one."
Dr. Peter Dabrowski, professor of music at UTPA and music director of the Valley Symphony Orchestra and Chorale, called the Fine Arts Auditorium one of the most important buildings in the Valley because it served as the center for cultural activities in the area. The CODA concert is a tribute to the building and all it offered the Valley in terms of arts, as well as a celebration of the construction of the new state-of-the-art Fine Arts complex, scheduled for later this year, Dabrowski said.
"It's a tribute to all the years the building was home to so many different groups, so many different varieties of performances," Dabrowski said. "It's a joyful celebration, in my opinion, because it's like saying thanks, thanks to so many years of providing this great opportunity to perform and display talents of students, faculty and guest artists. It's an acknowledgement, and at the same time, it's saying welcome to a new phase, a new chapter in the history of culture in the Rio Grande Valley."
The event will include a theatre presentation by Dr. Marian Monta, faculty emeritus of UTPA and founder of the UTPA Theatre, a commemoration by the Valley Symphony Orchestra, and performances by:
• Dr. Guerra and Dr. John Raimo, pianist and faculty emeritus of UTPA, performing the piano duet" Scaramouche" by D. Milhaud;

Adam Bonanni sees the Lehigh Valley as the backdrop for a new TV show.
Bonanni, a Nazareth native, is part of a film crew developing "Goody Goody," a comedy show that sets Colonial-era women in the 1750s amid contemporary problems. The cast of characters sounds like a roster of former locals, with the last names Knecht, Werkheiser, Schmidt and Kostenbader all making an appearance.
Bonanni says filming begins in May and is scheduled to highlight Jacobsburg state park in Bushkill Township and the Sun Inn in Bethlehem. The show has its own Indiegogo.com campaign that wraps up in five days to help offset expenses.
Bonanni's family was recently featured in a Cooking Channel special on Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine on "My Grandmother's Ravioli." The show has not aired yet.
The cast and crew are a mix of actors and actresses from New York, Los Angeles and the Lehigh Valley.
Actress Lori Beth Denberg, known for her role on Nickelodeon's "All That," Thea Brooks from HBO's "True Blood" and Steve Blanchard, known for his role as Beast in Broadway's "Beauty and the Beast," are all set to star in the show.
Diane Wagner joins the team as a co-creator and writer. Wagner is the director of the theater department at Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Performing Arts. LVPA faculty member Kelly Minner-Bickert and Civic Theatre's artistic director William Sanders will also have roles. Bonanni is part of the cast as well as the creative team behind the show.
Bonanni says the show's promotion and fan-voted wins on indiewire.com has helped them get a consultation with media streaming site SnagFilms (thanks to being voted Project of the Week and Project of the Month), and a consultation with the folks at Tribeca Film Institute and Festival.

MOBILE, Alabama -- A Mobile man today admitted to submitting fraudulent paperwork so that one of his employees could obtain a government-backed loan to buy his Atmore company for more than $1.5 million.
Mark McWilliams, 46, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit loan fraud. According to a summary of the offense in his plea agreement, he wanted to sell Poston Buick Enterprises to Jennifer Daw in 2008. Defense lawyer Dennis Knizley said the company sold specialty car parts.
Small Business Loan Source in Houston agreed to lend Daw $1.59 million, with the Small Business Administration guaranteeing 75 percent of that total. But the institution required Daw to make a $260,000 down payment, which she did not have, according to court records.
So Daw and McWilliams conspired to make phony bank statements, checks and certificate of deposit receipts to make it appear as though Daw had received the money as a gift from her grandmother. Investigators discovered that the grandmotherâs signature was not on the checks.
Daw pleaded guilty to a criminal offense in July and awaits sentencing.
The business failed shortly after McWilliams sold it, and Daw defaulted on the loan. When bank officials investigated why the loan went sour so quickly, they discovered the illegal arrangement between Daw and McWilliams, according to court documents.
Because the amount of money is so high, McWilliams likely faces prison time under advisory sentencing guidelines.
Prosecutors seek a court order holding McWilliams liable for $1,380,486, the balance on the loan as of Dec. 30, 2011. Knizley indicated that he disputes that figure.
"We'll be arguing that substantially," he said. "It's not going to be clear because I think the reasons for the default will come into play."
Knizley said his client acknowledges his criminal conduct with regard to the loan. But he said mismanagement of the company after McWilliams sold it should be a mitigating factor.Follow Brendan Kirby on Twitter: Follow @BrendanKKirby

The Indians improved to 5-1 on their road trip, after Josh Tomlin led the Indians over the Mariners and Felix Hernandez last night, 2-1, in Seattle. After a 1-4 start, the Indians have moved up to second place in the AL Central. Optimism is certainly brewing among Tribe faithful, as seen in today's Comments of the Day.
Airethor writes,
Tomlin ( love this kid) faced 29 batters...one less than Hernandez without a walk. Donald looked like Omar (I am in Maryland, didn't watch, read the results)...Perez Nailed it down. I love this team. Hannahan is proving his strong finish last year was no illusion. Add Carlos with a double and his obligatory walk. These guys are real. Pronk is back.
rruss1 posts,
Watched the Mariners telecast; their opinion that was Hernandez' best pitched game going back to last year. Yes and the tribe still won. Even though he got 12 strikeouts, he had to throw a lot of pitches, and therefore was not able to pitch the ninth. Tomlin made a statement last night. Great win making it a successful road trip. Now let's win a couple in Oakland.
sonofcleve82 says,
Way to go and win the series Tribe!! Josh Tomlin once again showed that he has real poise and confidence, which then spreads to the rest of the team. The Indians have started off 5-1 on the road...that is tremendous and shows that our guys have come out ready to play. Now let's take 2 or 3 from Oakland and keep this early momentum going.
Can the Indians keep it up this weekend in Oakland? Post your comments below.

Tagged: iPad, Technology
Source: online.wsj.com - Read the full article
Posted: 6 years 38 weeks ago
The unveiling of Apple Inc.'s iPad renews a classic gadget debate: Do consumers want purpose-built devices that do one thing and one thing well, or all-in-one wonders that try to accomplish many different tasks?
Amazon.com Inc. proved that there is a market for a single-purpose digital-books reader with its Kindle, which features a black and white E Ink Corp. screen that's supposed to be easy on the eyes and battery—but doesn't do much more than show words on a page. After less than three years on the market, Amazon says the Kindle has become the most-popular item the giant online store sells.
Yet with new tablet devices that promise to be the digital equivalent of Swiss army knives, Apple and other electronics companies are arguing that the Kindle's days are numbered.
This year "is going to be the beginning of the tablet revolution," said video-chip maker Nvidia Corp.'s Chief Executive Jen-Hsun Huang at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month.
Even before the iPad was unveiled Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard Co. had showed off a slate computer designed to display printed content and video. Lenovo Group Ltd. in June will begin selling a $999 hybrid device called the IdeaPad U1 that splits into two pieces. Separated, it's a color touchscreen tablet that's good for reading and browsing the Web, and snapped together it becomes a full-power laptop with keyboard. Virginia startup EnTourage Systems Inc. is selling what it calls a "dualbook," a fold-up device with a color touchscreen on one side for Web browsing and a black-and-white screen on the other that's optimized for long-form reading.
Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs on Wednesday drove home the all-in-one idea that with the iPad. He said the device, which starts at $499, lets consumers email photos, watch video, listen to music, play games in addition to reading e-books. The iPad is "so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone," he said.
How successful this new generation of multi-purpose tablets will be depends on having the right content for a 10-inch screen, said Taiwanese computer company Micro-Star International Co., which launched a Windows-based tablet device several years ago. "It has to fit into the user's daily life," said Jason Lee, director of component marketing at Micro-Star.
Micro-Star's tablet and others like it haven't sold well in the past. Still, analysts say Apple's iPod is entering a more promising market where more consumers are getting used to the idea that all of their electronics devices must be Internet-connected. Today, people use their computers not only as a work or study tool but as entertainment devices to read news, socialize with friends, or watch video.
Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos declined to comment on the iPad. But in past interviews, he has vociferously defended the need for a device that's really good just for reading.
"The best analogy I can give is cameras," Mr. Bezos said at the launch of the second-generation Kindle. "I love having a camera on my cellphone, but I also have a compact camera and I have a SLR camera. If photography is important enough to you, you want a device that is perfect for that. Reading is important enough that it deserves a dedicated device."
Despite Mr. Bezos's stance, there are signs that even Amazon is hedging its bets on convergence. In the last year, the Seattle company has developed software that allows Kindle books to be read on devices such as the iPhone, iPad and PCs. Last week, Amazon disclosed it would inviting software developers to create programs that would allow the Kindle to run "active content," akin to the apps used on smart phones and tablets.
"Kindle is capable of offering readers a broad range of content that goes beyond what the book is today," Drew Herdener, an Amazon spokesman said at the company's announcement.
Some analysts, including Gartner Inc.'s Alan Weiner, suspect Amazon could still yet come out with its own multi-media tablet device.

Why age Does not Equal Maturity
Growing up, there was one particular phrase that would drive me bananas, which was used commonly by adults. The phrase:
"You'll understand when you're older."
What exactly was I to understand? Good question.
Growing up , I realised that there were certain things that children simply couldn't "understand" to the same degree adults could. Like the nature of love, and loss, and heart break. What it's like to have a job, obligations and responsibilities. The things that one must experience directly to understand. And that's fair enough.
However, when I hit about 16 years of age, I noticed that adults kept using this expression to kids my age. What's more, they'd apply it in the same context they had always done when I was a mere child. "You'll understand when you're older, you're still a teenager." And then I got to thinking, "Hang on a second. When I was four, they told me I'd understand when I was ten. When I was ten, they told me I'd understand when I was 16. Now I'm 16, and I still don't understand."
Now, I'm 24. I've joined the adult world (ha-ha-ho) the only thing that I know for certain, the only thing I really understand, is that nothing is certain, and that I still don't really understand. (Yes, that's a paradox. Clap-clap). Everything that baffled and bamboozled me about life back then, still baffles and bamboozles me, now. Nothing really changed.
This might be a reflection on me, and what I think I might know, but don't really know. But I beg to differ. You see, the fundamental problem I have with the expression, "You'll understand when you're older," is that it assumes some sort of ultimate truth that can only be reached with age. It also assumes that everyone will eventually and invariably arrive at the same conclusion.
What conclusion? Good fucking question.
Who knows what I'll come to understand one year, five years, or ten years from now? To assume that age brings about a special sort of wisdom, or even knowledge, is to make an ass out of u and me. I know plenty of adults who lead delightfully ignorant/wisdom-less/"immature" lives. It's not uncommon. But what is common, at least from my own experience, is that the adults most inclined to use the expression, "you'll understand when you're older," are also usually the ones who don't understand much.
Another thing I've determined is that children understand life better than adults. We are the ones who've a lot to learn from them.
The lens's of children is clean. Their vision is still untainted by the adult world, and all it comprises. Children don't look upon life with dread, weary at the thought of another working week. They are free spirits. Imaginative geniuses. Not shackled down by the prism of their "self." They are mature beyond their years because they live immaturely, without superimposed thoughts demanding them to be otherwise.
Actually, my girlfriend just told me a story quite fitting for this post.
Today, while she was on the bus, she noticed a mum and her son, a four-ish year old, talking together. The mum was explaining to the son everything that his life would comprise of when he grew up: He would go to school, then he'd go to university, then he'd get a job. He'd find a girlfriend, then get married, and then grow old like grandpa. The son responded, in all innocent seriousness, by simply stating "and then I'll die?" To which the mum became a bit awkward, not knowing how to respond. There, the kid just exclaimed, completely content, "well, that's okay. I'll need a rest by then anyway."
Isn't that a great way to look at death? Without all the complications that adults attach to its concept? So innocent, yet so perfect.
Ultimately, it's plain to see that age, as defined by a linear time-keeping system, does not at all equal maturity. It can equal maturity, sure, but it can also equal immaturity (the "bad" kind). All that age signifies is just that, age. That's all. It's rather simple.
So, for the parents, or anyone else dealing with kids on a frequent basis out there, here's a know-it-all 24 year old farting some advice your way:
The next time your kid says, "but I don't understand… why?" Instead of resorting to the common denominator that so many adults are hell bent on walking on, instead of merely stating, "you'll understand when you get older, sonny Jim (or girly Sue), try to explain it to them.
Explain to them why you think love happens, or what you think death might be. Give them your best shot at drawing on why people work from 9-5, Monday through to Friday. Tell them that the world's a weird and confusing place, and that there are some questions that no one has any answer for. Be real with them, be authentic and raw. Kids are a hell of a lot smarter than we give them credit for, and they see and feel things that they're not necessarily capable of expressing through words. Be open to learning from them, in the same way they are open to learning from you.
And here's a crazy idea, tell them the truth. Tell them that you your self don't have all the answers. Period. Tell them it's their own job to create an answer, to build on a conclusion of their own. Cause isn't that what life's all about?
Humans-are-often-blindly-arrogant-in-their-ignorance. Children know best.

That story about the kid on the bus cracked me up! And by the way, you're 24? Really? Well, that simple fact proves your point that age does not automatically grant one maturity and wisdom.
You just mathematically proved that getting older does not result in a person acquiring secret knowledge and new truths. Truths granted to us by some magical wisdom fairy only because you turned 29.
"Happy birthday!" she says as she hovers over you and taps you with her Wand of Wisdom. "You now understand women!"
When I turned 29 that didn't happen to me! There was no magical fairy. I just turned 36 and I still don't understand women!
But that's OK. I like mysteries.
When I turned 29, I was four years into the longest relationship I had ever been in. Before this relationship my record was three months (17-25 were fun years!).
So at 29, I was in unchartered territory. So I sat down with my brain and had a chat with it. As any rational person does right?
Me: "Brain, how does this gig pan out? Marriage? Kids? What's the deal with whole thing?"
Brain: "How the hell would I know? I haven't been here before either! Don't put this shit on me! This is on you! Good luck tosspot. Knowing your record though, you'll figure it all out 2 years too late."
Quick aside: We broke up after 7 years together. We are still friends and would do anything for each other so it's all kind of ok.
It turns out my brain was right. You don't really learn anything until you experience it. To equate age with wisdom is pure arrogance.
So we have to be humble sods. We don't know it all and we never will. Age will not bestow upon us grand insights that will make us wiser beings.
Just live. Oh, and tell kids the awful truth! It's funny! Teach them how to play poker, how to make a fake ID or hustle a Roulette Table at Crown Casino.
It's a lot of fun, and you will never be asked to babysit by your auntie : )

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Gabriella Velardi Ward of Graniteville is one of the New York City Roman Catholics who are concerned about the impending mergers and closings of parishes in the Archdiocese of New York under the "Making All Things New" pastoral planning initiative and are mobilizing under the umbrella group Call to Action.
Ms. Velardi Ward plans to attend a Call to Action presentation, "Preserving Parish Communities in a Time of Fewer Priests," on Jan. 26 in Manhattan. The question "Is Your Parish Closing?" is posed in a promotional email for the Sunday afternoon event.
"Our concerns about the process of 'Making All Things New' are two: the fact that the final say is from the hierarchy and the manner in which proceeds resulting from the closed churches will be distributed," said Margaret Meehan of Manhattan, vice president of the New York City chapter of Call to Action.
"While parishioners are given a voice through various stages of this process, the decisions are made by the hierarchy and these decisions do not always seem to be in the best interest of church communities and the people they serve," said a promotional email about the event.Sister Kate Kuenstler, an independent canon lawyer who successfully appealed to the Vatican to keep open churches in Cleveland, Ohio, that had been shuttered by their diocese, will speak. Sister Christine Schenk, founder and retired executive director of the Cleveland-based FutureChurch, which has advocated for parishes threatened with closure, also will talk.
Founded in 1976, Call to Action has been striving for a more inclusive church by advocating for church employee rights, lay leadership, women priests, racial equality and LGBT acceptance.
Ms. Velardi Ward, an architect who designed the building that houses the Carousel for all Children in Willowbrook, is "saddened" about the fact that all Staten Island parishes will be required at minimum to share ministries and that some will be merged or even closed under the pastoral planning initiative. The fact that all Island parishes are working together in clusters to determine their future viability is a red flag that Ms. Velardi Ward believes signals church closings.
She speaks from experience, having watched a similar process play out while she was an active volunteer in RCIA and other programs at a church that she still attends in the Diocese of Brooklyn. Ms. Velardi Ward, a member of the Committee to Save Mount Manresa, occasionally attends a church on the Island, but said, "It's very conservative, so I don't find nourishment there."
Few Island churches are within walking distance of each other, Ms. Velardi Ward noted, meaning that it will be more of a challenge for Roman Catholics to attend services and other activities when their parishes share ministries, merge or close.
"When parishes are clustered, the identity of the parish is lost," Ms. Velardi Ward said. "The members are kind of treated invisibly, anonymously."
Ms. Velardi Ward who is one of about 160 women throughout the world who are Roman Catholic women priests, also disputes that a key reason for the mergers and closings is an aging and dwindling priest population.
"There is not really a shortage of priests," Ms. Velardi Ward said. "They're not looking at anybody except single males for the priesthood. They could be recognizing the vocations of women and married men and not have to close."
An independent spiritual director for over 18 years, Ms. Velardi Ward works with victims of child abuse, including some at the hands of priests. The Call to Action event will be at 3 p.m. in a townhouse at 20 Washington Square North in Manhattan.
