The last time voters in central East Jefferson decided a contested judicial race was October 2002, after Ronald Bodeheimer left the 24th Judicial District Court in Gretna amid a federal investigation that eventually sent him to federal prison.
On March 27, those same voters return to the polls to decide another judicial contest necessitated by dubious circumstances. Three candidates are vying to replace Joan Benge, whom the state Supreme Court removed from office last year because of a ruling she made in a personal injury lawsuit in 2001.
Don Klotz, Ray Steib and Debbie Villio, all Republicans, want to serve the nearly five years left in Benge's term and earn an annual salary of $118,165.
Aside from portions of Kenner, where voters also will consider municipal races, the judicial race is the only matter on the ballot for the remainder of the district, which includes portions of Metairie, Harahan and River Ridge. If the candidates agree on anything, they expect voter turnout to be low. If needed, a runoff will be May 1.
Don Klotz
The son of a New Orleans police officer who was raised in a home he describes as inherently tough on crime, Klotz said the public underestimates the value of the legal experience he earned during 19 years in the Air Force and Army Reserve.
He has defended and prosecuted criminal cases in military courts, and has overseen local and regional military legal offices, he said. While an Air Force lawyer, he was appointed a special assistant U.S. attorney, prosecuting civilians accused of minor offenses in federal court in New York.
He has advised commanding officers on criminal investigations, ensuring their cases stand in military courts, he said. And he spent nearly a year in Iraq as an advisor to a panel of military officers weighing the fates of 2,300 foreign nationals, he said.
"People don't understand about the military and what the lawyers do in the military," Klotz said, adding that his military experience is relevant to civilian courts.
"There's not a huge difference between the two," he said. "In my mind, it translates over to state court very easily."
He is a partner with the Ungarino & Eckert firm, defending civil cases.
"A judge is elected to move his dockets along and fairly apply the facts to the law," Klotz said. "The public doesn't ask very much of a judge other than to do that."
Ray Steib
Two years after he placed third in the race to unseat former Judge Martha Sassone, Steib launched another campaign because he believes "there are some problems in the Jefferson Parish court." Benge's removal from office, he said, "gives a black eye to lawyers and to judges."
Steib, who is solo practioner in Gretna, said he grew up in a large, working-class family where money was tight, and he paid his way through law school working as a parking lot supervisor at the Louisiana Superdome. He said he would bring his hard-earned work ethic to the bench if elected.
Too often, he said he has observed how some judges manage their dockets ineffectively as attorneys and their clients wait to argue cases.
"We got a lot of poor people in Jefferson Parish who really can't afford attorneys fees on almost any case," Steib said. "But when they're sitting there and their time is being wasted and they're paying attorneys for not accomplishing anything, that's a real problem, especially in the domestic docket."
Steib said he has a stronger resume than his opponents, encompassing both criminal and civil law and involvement in organizations designed to improve the legal profession. He said he would bring honesty to the bench.
"When it comes to being involved in Jefferson Parish courts, not politics, who has given of themselves to try to make this a better place for lawyers to work, to make the process move along?" Steib said. "That's what I think people need in a judge, somebody who's been trying to work on fixing the problems for the last 10, 15 years."
Debbie Villio
Villio has the endorsements and financial backing from the parish's top law enforcement officers, and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand is her campaign manager. District Attorney Paul Connick's private law office has given to her campaign. She started her legal career as a prosecutor in New Orleans, before doing the same in St. Tammany and Jefferson parishes.
"I believe that the wealth of trial experience, coupled with my experience as (Jefferson's) community justice director, lends itself to those areas that certainly my opponents cannot bring," Villio said. "I am the only experienced prosecutor in prosecuting violent criminals in our parish, and that is why I believe law enforcement stands behind me as their candidate for the bench."
Challenging her opponents' claims she lacks experience in civil law, Villio said she managed "thousands" of civil cases as code enforcement director, helping parish attorneys prepare litigation involving blighted property and negligent property owners.
"They haven't spent their career protecting the public in two areas I think affect the public most: Crime and quality of life, which I have done as a prosecutor and as director of code enforcement," she said.
But she also is campaigning at a time when her former boss Aaron Broussard, who appointed her as director of code enforcement nearly two years ago, has resigned amid a federal investigation of his administration.
Last June, parish politicians hosted a fundraiser that netted over $57,000 to help Villio to pay down campaign debt from her unsuccessful 2007 judicial campaign. Among her contributors were Parsons & Sanderson Inc., and Pipeworks Plumbing & Demolition LLC, later accused of bribing former St. John the Baptist Parish President Bill Hubbard, which combined gave her $3,000, records show. Lagniappe Industries, the private insurance company owned by Broussard's top aide, Tim Whitmer, who also is under federal investigation, contributed $250.
"I am typically unaware of who is giving contributions," Villio said, adding she never solicited the money and donated the Lagniappe contribution to her church. "You have people who prepare your (campaign finance) reports. You have a treasurer who reviews them."
She pledged to move cases through her court, particularly criminal cases to help ease overcrowding at the parish jail.
"I have strived over the course of my 21-year career to bring innovation and professionalism to our justice system,'' Villio said. "I will bring those same qualities to the bench."

People will be eyeing the grill warily this Memorial Day weekend, after stories surfaced of people ingesting wire with their grilled meat – the result of owners vigorously cleaning the grill with a metal brush and leaving a filament or two on the grill. Hardly visible to the eye, which is how it is easily embedded in that burger patty or slab of steak you have on the grill.
A man in River Edge nearly died after the short thin wire perforated his large intestine. Similar cases have been reported around the country.
Here's the skinny from Consumer Reports: Check your BBQ grill manual to see what kind of brush you should be using. And if the brush you have has loose bristles, toss it. Look for a run on steel wool and stone cleaners at your nearby hardware store.

FLUSHING TOWNSHIP, MI – Township officials continue to search for the answer to police service for its more than 10,000 residents.
The township board recently approved a three-month contract with the Genesee County Sheriff's Department that extended its from Jan. 1, 2013, until March 31, 2013 -- the end of the township's fiscal year -- to allow township leaders more time to discuss options for police service.
A previous township board last February eliminated the township police department, saying the township could get police services for less money that running its own department.
Now, after a majority of township board members were replaced in the November election, Supervisor Rian Birchmeier says he has considered seeking public input on police service.
"It's still a suggestion that I'm looking into," he said of providing a space on the township's website for residents to comment on what they want for police service. "It's just a matter of our system, our website, being able to handle that type of thing."
Birchmeier said possible scenarios include the township rebuilding its own police department, sharing police service with another department or staying with the sheriff's department.
He said a potential discussion with city of Flushing officials, including City Manager Dennis Bow and Police Chief Mark Hoornstra, is "on my list to talk to them, but I have not yet done that." Birchmeier said he also plans to meet with Montrose and Clayton townships.
Previous township leaders discussed the possibility of consolidating with Clayton Township before the Genesee County Board of Commissioners approved a contract for four full-time deputies and 40 percent time from a detective sergeant from March 2012 through Dec. 31, 2012.
"With regard to the police consolidation, I think that the township is wrapping up litigation issues right now," said Flushing City Manager Bow in an email, citing a consolidation plan previously crafted by himself in November 2011 to continue receiving Economic Vitality Incentive Program, of EVIP, funds.
The plan states Flushing's department has lost half of its officers "since the economic downturn of 2008," and is down to nine full-time and seven part-time staff, which it can fund for two years.
"Beyond two years, looking at regional data may help to determine and deploy officers in a different manner, through consolidation of several police departments on the west side of Genesee County," states the plan, with an example model using Montrose, Flushing, Swartz Creek, Village of Lennon, Montrose Township, Flushing Township and Clayton Township."
The city's financial situation in 2011, which had seen a more than 39 percent decline in property tax revenue over a three-year period, has stabilized, Bow said, and he noted "At this point, our finances should be in decent shape for at least the next three years. This can be affected by the property tax situation."
"There's no rush in this matter, even if we have to ask for more time from the sheriff's department," Birchmeier said.

BATON ROUGE - The $26 billion state budget bill is on its way to Gov. Bobby Jindal's desk after the House late Sunday reluctantly signed off on a spending plan that restored many of the cuts authorized earlier in the session.
"Certainly I would have loved for the bill to be in a different posture than it's in right now," said Rep. Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro, who authored the budget bill that was heavily reworked by the Senate.
The 66-34 vote on House Bill 1 came after a push from the governor, who sent a letter to House members urging them to adopt the Senate version. Although the plan cuts far less spending than some House conservatives were pushing for, Jindal called it a "responsible budget" that makes "targeted reductions" while also protecting state services.
The governor also praised the Senate's budget for taking into account new projected deficits for the current and upcoming fiscal years that have not yet been officially recognized by a forecasting panel.
"Some may argue that the House should reject the Senate changes, so that more reductions to higher education and healthcare can be made in the current budget," Jindal wrote. "Others will argue that a conference committee is necessary to restore funding to the cuts maintained by the Senate."
House members also agreed to a companion bill, House Bill 1358 by Fannin, that plugs a $580 million shortfall in the current-year budget, mostly by using one-time money, including dollars from the state's rainy-day fund.
Jindal had already made it clear last week that he preferred the Senate's version of the budget to the plan crafted by the House, which contained deep cuts to public hospitals and higher education and raided an economic development incentive fund that the administration is using to lure large industrial projects.
The Senate's version used various pots of one-time money to restore much of the money cut by the House, but also reduced private Medicaid providers and the higher-education management boards more than the version that passed House.
The budget eliminates nearly 3,000 state jobs, including about 1,300 filled positions, and lowers spending in virtually all state departments and agencies.
Still, some House conservatives said the Senate's version used too much one-time money and leaves lawmakers in a tough position heading into next year, when federal economic stimulus money that's propping up state spending will be gone and Medicaid costs are projected to spike.
"All the hard work they put into it was lost between this body and the one across the hall," said Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Jefferson, who joined all but 11 House Republicans in voting against the main budget bill.
House and Senate leaders had been at odds for weeks over the spending plans, with their differences centered largely on how to incorporate rainy-day dollars into the budget and when that money must be paid back. In the end, the Senate prevailed on nearly all the arguments.
"There is another side to this body and we have to work through the process," Fannin said. "That's where we're at now."
Among the few budget issues left to be settled is whether "member amendments" - money that legislators earmark for pet projects in their districts - will be part of the mix. The House had included nearly $13 million, but those amendments were stripped by the Senate.
Although the money has not been included in the main budget bill, there are still other spending bills working their way through the process where the money could be included.
The final deal also requires action by the Revenue Estimating Conference, a four-member panel that determines how much the state can spend each year. Earlier this month the panel deadlocked on whether to recognize the latest deficit figures, and also balked at incorporating the rainy-day money and money from a tax-amnesty program into the budget picture.
Both pots of money already have been incorporated into the budget bills, and the forecasting panel has scheduled a meeting for Monday afternoon to update the revenue picture.

Does CBS Want Charlie Sheen Back on "Two and a Half Men"?
CBS is known as the "Eye Network" . . . so it would be ironic if they were the ones who BLINKED in the staring contest with CHARLIE SHEEN, right? But that might be what happened.
There are reports all over the World Wide Web of Misinformation that CBS is trying to get Charlie back on "Two and a Half Men". And CBS President Les Moonves . . . who's been the target of some of Charlie's TRUTH TORPEDOES . . . is even involved.
Sources say he's been speaking with people at Warner Brothers TV about re-hiring Charlie. Warner Brothers produces the show, and they're the ones who actually canned him.
He's also spoken to "Two and a Half Men" creator CHUCK LORRE, telling him, quote, "Let us handle Charlie."
Why does CBS want Charlie back so badly? Because he's WINNING. Duh. (???)
One source says, quote, "They saw how popular his tour has become, how it has been selling out, and when word spread that he started talking to Fox about a late-night show, some decision-makers got a little antsy."
Obviously, Charlie's return depends almost entirely on whether or not he and Lorre can work together again after all the HATRED that's been spewed between them over the last few months. (–Mostly from Charlie. At least publicly.)
We assume Charlie would also have to drop his $100 million lawsuit against Lorre and Warner Brothers.
Charlie may not be looking to return to CBS, though. Yesterday, he dropped a Tweet that made it sound like he's serious about heading to Fox.
He said, quote, "#Foxball; Perhaps a new lair…..? A Fox and a Warlock? epic. ybw c." It was followed by a link to a picture of a Fox logo. (–You can see it here.)
Meanwhile, he seemed pretty welcome on ABC last night . . . he appeared as an unscheduled guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", interrupted Jimmy's interview with billionaire MARK CUBAN . . . and kissed Jimmy on the lips. (–Charlie has talked to Cuban about doing a show on his cable network, HDNet. Here's the video.)
After he soaked up a ton of applause, he autographed the BRETT DENNEN album on Jimmy's desk and gave it to someone in the audience . . . before Jimmy'd had a chance to introduce Dennen as the musical guest.
Then he did a really brief, not-that-crazy interview . . . tossed out a bunch of t-shirts with stuff like "winning" and "tiger blood" on them . . . and gave Jimmy a mug with a fox on it, which was obviously a reference to his recent talks with Fox.

Not really but I'll share my thoughts. The standard Rohn ginpole is fine for 25G and 45G but is not "factory rated" for 55G plus it only has a 12 foot mast.

The WB0W fixture is more robust than the Rohn so coupled with an appropriate mast will give you more capability. What you're describing is what I use for BIG loads but my mast is 2 inch OD and has 1/4 inch wall. I'd talk to Gaylen to see if your 1.915" mast will work - I think his fixture is designed for 2 inch.

I'm really leary of your mast. I'd prefer using a 2 incher with a thicker wall. I don't have any scientific reason - just gut feel.

Kevin Kerr certainly won't be lonely inside the coach's office at Perani Arena this season.
If anything, the office might not be big enough because the Flint Generals are going to have the largest coaching staff in the club's 15-year history.
Assistant coaches Peter South and Steve Pronger were on hand Monday for the first day of training camp and they had company on Day 2, when former General Jason Muzzatti reported for duty as the club's goaltending coach.
Muzzatti played for the Generals last year after a career that saw him play four seasons at Michigan and 16 more as a professional. He spent six seasons in the NHL and five in Italy --- representing that country in the 2006 Winter Olympics --- before ending his career in Flint last season.
Muzzatti, who is also working as a goaltender coach for several youth associations, said he expects to be in Flint a few mornings per week to tutor net-minders Chad Alban and Eric Marvin.
That's good news for Kerr, who pretty much was on his own when he made his pro coaching debut with the Generals last season.
"The days are over of teams having coaches do it all by themselves," Kerr said after watching the Blue team beat the Yellow 4-3 in the first scrimmage of training camp. "The organization is committed to being successful. It's not easy doing it all by yourself. I'm excited about having guys to bounce stuff off. Jason Muzzatti is very knowledgeable."
Kerr said Muzzatti was something of an unofficial assistant coach last season, when the Generals made the playoffs for the first time in three seasons.
"He's been there --- in the NHL, the Olympics --- and knows the game very well," Kerr said. "He'd bounce stuff off me on several occasions last season. Peter South and Steve Pronger are guys who have been around hockey a long time.
"It's good to have guys you can bounce different ideas off. I don't have all the answers. It's an easy game but at the same time, it's a very complex game when it comes to little things."

New Delhi: Global retail giant Wal-Mart has registered a new company in India as it prepares to enter the countrys lucrative multi-brand retail market with a new partner.
The retailer has registered a new company called Wal-Mart India Pvt. Ltd. in the country, according to the data available with the ministry of corporate affairs.
According to the information, the new entity was registered on 15 January 2014.
After parting ways with Bharti group in October last year, Wal-Mart had said it was studying the feasibility of Indias foreign direct investment (FDI) policy in multi-brand retail before finalising plans to enter the segment.
The retailer and Bharti Enterprises had last year decided to independently own and operate separate business formats in the country. Wal-Mart is looking for a partner in India.
In December 2013, Wal-Mart received the green signal from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to purchase Bharti groups almost 50% stake in their Indian joint venture for wholesale stores business.
The joint ventureBharti Wal-Mart Pvt. Ltd.was set up to operate wholesale stores under the Best Price Modern Wholesale brand. It was not catering directly to retail consumers in the country.Wal-Mart has been lobbying with American lawmakers since 2008 for facilitating its entry into the Indian market, according to lobbying disclosure reports filed by the company in the US.
A probe, ordered by the Indian government in December 2012, into lobbying activities undertaken by Wal-Mart to enter Indian retail market remained inconclusive.
The one-man inquiry panel, in its report tabled in the Rajya Sabha last month, could not conclude in the absence of any material evidence available on record up till now, that Wal-Mart indulged in any lobbying/bribery to Indian officials.
Lobbying is a legal activity in the US, but all the companies and their registered lobbyists need to file quarterly disclosure reports with the Senate and the House of Representatives. In its Action Taken Report on Wal-Mart probe, the government had said it would initiate fresh action against Wal-Mart if an ongoing foreign corrupt practices probe by the US authorities reveals any violation in India by the retail giant.

Typhoid fever is caused by a type of bacteria called Salmonella typhi.
This is not the same type of bacteria that can cause salmonella food poisoning, but the two are related.
When someone with the infection has a bowel movement, they may pass faeces that contain the Salmonella typhi bacteria. If they do not wash their hands properly after going to toilet, they can contaminate any food they touch. If this is eaten by another person, they will also become infected.
Less commonly, the Salmonella typhi bacteria can spread after a person urinates. Again, if an infected person handles food without washing their hands properly after urinating, they can spread the infection on to someone else who eats the contaminated food.
In parts of the world that have poor levels of sanitation, infected human waste can contaminate the water supply. People who drink contaminated water or eat food that has been washed in contaminated water can contract typhoid fever.
Other ways that typhoid fever can be contracted include:
If typhoid fever is not treated, an estimated 1 in 20 people who survive the infection will become carriers of the condition. This means that the Salmonella typhi bacteria continue to live in their bladder, and they can still spread typhoid fever in their faeces or urine. However, carriers of typhoid fever do not have any symptoms themselves.
After a person eats or drinks food or liquid that is contaminated with the Salmonella typhi bacteria, the bacteria will move down into their digestive system. The bacteria will quickly multiply, triggering the initial symptoms such as a high temperature, abdominal pain and constipation or diarrhoea.
If the person is not treated, the bacteria will spread into the bloodstream, intestines, liver and bone marrow. The spread of bacteria out of the bowel causes the symptoms to get worse during the second and third weeks of the infection.
If the organs and tissue become damaged, it can cause complications, such as internal bleeding or a section of the bowel splitting open.
Bacteria Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease and others are good for you.
Bone marrow Bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue in the centre of bones that produces blood cells.
Diarrhoea Diarrhoea is the passing of frequent watery stools.
Stools Stool (also known as faeces) is the solid waste matter that is passed from the body as a bowel movement.

"Officer Peach" gets his man; lawyers have no sense of humor
February 18, 2013 - Andrea Johnson
An English cop had some fun at the expense of the prosecutors last week when they asked for a police report from "PC Peach."
According to the Daily Mail, PC Peach is a police dog, but the lawyer apparently thought he must be a human cop. PC Mark Tissington, the handler at the West Midlands Police Station, happily obliged and wrote up the following police report for the 4-year-old Alsatian: "I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy, Peach." The witness statement was signed with a paw print.
The cop pinned the "witness statement" on the station bulletin board for everyone to chuckle at. Unfortunately, one of them enjoyed it so much that he took a picture of it and posted it on a police humor website. Another cop at another UK police station enjoyed it so much that he reposted it on Twitter.
The lawyers were not amused at being the butt of the joke. They have complained. Tissington is facing an investigation by the internal discipline unit. He referred himself and is probably not going to be reprimanded.
To that, all I can say is: "Bad crown prosecutor. Bad boy."
Give Officer Peach a big, juicy bone and his handler a box of doughnuts.

The fans voiced their opinion in a big way this week and in total over 7,600 votes were tallied for our six candidates. This week's Morris County Player of the Week is…
George Scalley, RB/LB, Dover
Scalley received 61 percent of the votes this week. In second place was Delbarton TE/FS Matt Oplinger who received 19 percent of the votes. The voting results are as followed:
George Scalley, RB/LB, Dover: 61%
Matt Oplinger, TE/FS, Delbarton: 19%
Jimmy Sivolella, QB/DB, Hanover Park: 14%
Chris Heredia, QB, Butler: 4%
J.R. Reese, QB, Jefferson: 1%
Sean Robbins, QB, Kinnelon: 1%
Scalley had a great performance last week despite his team's loss to Jefferson. Scalley finished the game with 160 yards rushing on 24 carries and also threw for a 10-yard touchdown pass. On defense, the linebacker made nine tackles, recorded two sacks and picked up a fumble recovery. Dover is still searching for their first win of the season, but Scalley has been a bright spot for the team.
This weekend should bring more great performances in Morris County high school football. Thank you to all those who voted this week and be sure to look out for our week 4 nominees on Tuesday.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Faxes have started rolling into Auburn's Signing Day headquarters, and AL.com's beat writers are publishing profiles of each signee as Tigers coach Gus Malzahn announces the next prize in Auburn's 2014 signing class.
Xavier Dampeer
School: Copiah-Lincoln Community College (Wesson, Miss.)
Position: Center
Height, Weight: 6-foot-2, 300 pounds
247Sports Composite: Dampeer graded out as a three-star prospect, according to the recruiting services. The big lineman was named the No. 2 center in the country and the No. 28 player in Mississippi.
Other schools: Louisiana Tech, Troy
How he fits into Auburn's plans: Dampeer, who only played one year of center at the junior college level after beginning his career as a defensive tackle, might be the heir apparent to Reese Dismukes, the Tigers' rock at center who will graduate after next season and open up the position for the first time in four years. Dampeer, an athletic player who moves well, can also play guard, but down the road, his future is likely at center, where Dismukes will leave a big hole once he graduates.
Projection for 2014: Still a little raw after one season at the junior college level, Dampeer has landed in the perfect situation. With four returning starters on the offensive line -- and all three on the interior -- Dampeer can spend his season being tutored by line guru J.B. Grimes, redshirt and keep both years of eligibility going into the 2015 season. If he emerges as Dismukes' backup, he could also see time if the big center were to go down with an injury, although he's only missed two starts in three seasons as Auburn's man in the middle.
What we've written about Dampeer:
- Malzahn: JUCO signees Derrick Moncrief, Xavier Dampeer provide help at positions of need
- JUCO center Xavier Dampeer: Auburn 'fit like a glove'
- Auburn picks up commitment from JUCO lineman Xavier Dampeer
- Auburn brings in five early enrollees, led by wideout D'haquille Williams

Live blogging the 2009 Academy Awards
There have already been some surprises at the red carpet, but we're gonna get a lot more during the show itself.
Usually, this prognotiscator is at a party in the hills, but we're taking a break this year to watch it with a number of Indiewire peeps and a good buddy from Variety. So, get ready for some very catty responses.
You've been warned.
Tim Gunn is asking Amy Adams movie questions. Sort of odd.
Woot. Sarah Jessica Parker is in the house as Jess Cagle of EW interviews her and Matthew Broderick. Could a "Sex and the City" shout out be in the works for tonight's show?
Gunn interviewing Valentino, who has a documentary about his life "Valentino: The Last Emperor" headint to theaters. I am guessing most people would like to see Robin Roberts who is with the entire "Slumdog Millionaire" cast. It's really great all the kids could make it.
What a star rundown. Robert Downey, Jr., Anne Hathaway, Kate Winslet and Viola Davis all in a row. Short and sweet, but they are pushing the star power.
Anyone notice all the movie ads this year? The Academy lowered their restriction against theatrical advertising and we've already seen adds for "Angels and Demons" and "Knowing."
Cagle with Meryl Streep and her daughter. Is this her first red carpet? "Oh, no. I've done this a number of times before." Priceless.
Nice piece on Michael Gaccinno, the show's musical director, hyping up his take on the show's score and the production designer describing the 100,000 crystals that make up the show's curtain.
Now its time for the big show.
Thousands of hours of campaigning, screenings, TV spots, ADs, screaming publicists and more behind-the-scenes drama then you'd ever believe.
Wow. That is one pretty set.
Jackman comes out for some quick comments. Uh oh, he's doing an opening monolugue. He promises an opening number. "His own tribute to this year's films." Um, "Your craigslist dancers"? Yeah, that flew over everyone's head. He grabs Anne Hathaway from the audience. That's a nice bit. She's auditioning for her first musical number. Hathaway should host next year! Sweet moment for Hathaway. Don't really get "The Reader" bit, but it's short thankfully. And he fit in a shout out to "Wolverine." Fox is happy and so is the audience with a standing ovation.
Streep gets a shout out from Jackman and she winces at being reminded of the 15 times she's already been nominated. We get a nice rundown of many of the past Supporting Actress winners. Look at that. Five previous Best Supporting Actress winners on stage. Eva, Whoopi, Tilda, Goldie and Angelica. Nice touch.
The nominees are already crying! Whoopi has a nice nun tie in. And kudos for a former host appearing as a presenter. Who knew she had such a big tatoo? Fodder for The View on Monday!
One question: What is up with Goldie Hawn's breasts? Is her dress too tight or what?
Winner: Penelope Cruz.
Personally, I thought Davis was going to upset, but you can't knock this great win by Cruz. And a very touching and heartfelt speech.
Tina Fey and Steve Martin come out and knock the crowd out. You gotta say, the presentation and look of the show is freakin' first rate.
Dustin Lance Black wins Best Original Screenplay. He says all the right thing in his speech. Well said.
Simon Beaufoy wins Best Adapted Screenplay for "Slumdog Millionaire." First of many wins for "Slumdog" tonight. It's been a long road for Beaufoy since his last nomination in 1997 for "The Full Monty."
Great DreamWorks/Pixar joke by Jack Black. We get our first movie "Yearbook." WALL E pulls out an Oscar tape. Who ever thought "Space Chimps" would weasel it's way on the Oscars? Nice shot of all the characters behind him. Who ever thought we'd see Kung Fu Panda and Wall E in the same animated frame?
Your winner: "WALL E" (and correctly pronounced by Aniston too!) Pixar wins again!
Black and Aniston are back with some truly witter banter. They should host next year! But, no, it's just the Best Animated Short category.
Your Winner: Surprise. "Les Maisons en petit cubes." Not the winner most were expecting including myself.
Wait: did the winner just qoute a Styx song?
James Bond and Carrie together! Nice. They actually kept both's participation secret. And, again, another great set. At the least, it's gonna be hard for other Oscar producers to top these looks.
Art Direction goes to: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Yep, the only love Fincher's movie is gonna get this year is in the technical categories.
Fincher just described as a "wonderful human being." A rare statement in Hollywood.
Costume Design goes to: "The Dutchess." Just as I predicted (makes up for getting Cruz wrong).
Make Up goes to: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Not a surprise although that work on Blanchett at the beginning and end was scarily bad.
(He looks scared out of his mind.)
And it's time for a look at romance through the Academy "yearbook." And not only does it have a song actually from the past decade (finally), it has a gay kiss too!
I wonder where Hugh is. It's been awhile...
He's back and he's introducing Ben Stiller nad Natalie Portman. Stiller doing a Joaquin Phoenix joke. Portman looks like she's trying not to laugh and then finally breaks down as Stiller/Joaquin wanders around the stage.
And the Oscar for Best Cinemtography: "Slumdog Millionaire." As predicted...especially after the American Society of Cinematographer's win.
Jessica Biel tries to make us believe the Scientific and Technical Awards are worth our time. Thankfully, she isn't on screen too long.
Judd Apatow's short film with James Franco and Seth Rogen reprising their "Pineapple Express" categories. Laughing at "The Reader." That's awesome. Franco looking at Franco in "Milk." Double awesome. Janusz Kaminski hangs with them. Triple awesome.
Janusz! Hit of the show!
Best Original Live Action Short: "Toyland." Sadly, these wins by Holocaust films are too predictable. It's really the honest truth. It's a good movie, but not the best of the bunch. Easy pick for your pool.
Change is here! The musical has taken over!
It's the Hugh Jackman Baz Luhrmann musical number. And we get Beyonce and sexy girls in tuxedo outfits. Here comes Vanessa Hudgens and Amanda Seifrriend. Wait, is Zac Efron there? Oh, yes. A homage to "High School Musical."
O.K. That was dissappointing. Seriously dissapointing. They needed Baz for that?
Time for Best Supporting Actor. And no Javier Bardem. Word was he couldn't make it. Mix that in with the rumors he "was" dating Penelope Cruz and figure that out for yourself.
Alan Arkin mispronounces Philip Seymour Hoffman's name. Ouch.
And we get a shot of John Mayer with Jennifer Aniston as the camera looks in at Josh Brolin and Diane Lane.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. has a nice "Shaft" joke for Robert Downey, Jr. Any attention for Cuba is good for Cuba. Brotha needs work!
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger for "The Dark Knight."
The Ledger family makes its way to the stage in the midst of a standing ovation. The entire country of Australia and geeks everywhere are on the edge of their seat.
The stars look more emotional in the audience than the family does. Sort of bizarre. Poignant shots of his former co-star Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie who seem truly moved. A nice shot out for Ledger's daugther Matilda.
Quick jump to Werner Herzog as the Doc "Yearbook" begins. Overall, these segements have been much less painful than in previous years.
Here comes Bill Mahr, star and co-producer of "Religulous," to give out the documentary awards.
And the winner for Best Feature Documentary: "Man on Wire." Whoo hoo. The directors invite Philippee himself to com up on stage. Let's hope he doesn't try a stunt! And Philipee performs two magic tricks. Great, great stuff. Who knew the doc category could be so fun?
The winner of Best Documentary Short is: "Smile Pinki" Um, somewhat of an upset. And the director looks stunned too!
Nice action montage. Gotta love the Iron Man.
Will Smith! Another show surprise.
Best Visual Effects: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Well done gentlemen, although I had a soft spot in my heart for "iron Man." Digital Domain's first big win quite awhile.
Now, after a Smith flub, it's time for Sound Editing. The winner is: "The Dark Knight." Way to go Batman.
Best Sound Mixing goes to: "Slumdog Millionaire." Geez, anyone think it's not gonna win Best Picture? "WALL-E" got robbed here.
Smith, "They still have me here. I believe Hugh is napping." Ouch. Well, they are saving time with grouping Film Editing here.
And the winner for Best Film Editing: "Slumdog Millionaire." Now, be honest, were you really surprised?
Trivia note: Chris Dickens got his shot directing "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" for Edgar Wright. And now he's an Oscar winner. Imagine. Good guy too.
Jerry Lewis Lifetime Achievement award and appropriately, Eddie Murphy, who remade his "Nutty Professor" character (with a third one in the works), presents.
Lewis looks odd as he walks out to his standing ovation, but he gives a classy and very, very short speech.
Efron and Keys come out on the podium. Is there a closet around? They announce best original score: A. R. Rahman, "Slumdog Millionaire."
Rahman gives a shout out to my peeps at ID-PR! Nice.
Now it's time for Best Original Song nominees...and stepping in for Peter Gabriel is John Legend. And now it's "Jai Ho!" (Suggestion: add it to your ipod. Great to run to!) Interesting mix mash at the end. The mixing seemed off, but great idea.
And the winner is: "Jai Ho" and "Slumdog Millionaire." It's only lost one award so far! A. R. Rahman is now a two-time Oscar winner. Imagine that!
Box office superstar Liam Neeson and Freida Pinto present Best Foreign Language Film.
Best Froeign Language FIlm: ABSOLUTE STUNNER. "Departures" from Japan wins! Regent Entertainment has an Academy Award winner! AMAZING. Again, STUNNING. Biggest upset of tehe night.
Queen Latifah sings "I'll Be Singing You" as we remember the movie industry's fallen. Nice shot of Ricardo Monteblan as Kahn. And of course, Paul Newman. Very, very, very nice.
Reese Witherspoon steps out to present Best Director. Her dress is interesting, but she's funny and always a crowd-pleaser.
And the winner is: Danny Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire."
He jumps on stage like Tigger in "Winnie the Pooh." Thanks the show (nice). Stephen Daldry looks annoyed in the audience. His time will come. You've come a long way from the outsider filmmaker in "Trainspotting." Way to go. Great speech too.
Which five Best Actress winners will be there?
Sophie Lauren, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotilliard and Shirley MacLaine. To a standing ovation! Fantastic! Great moment.
Omigod. How much work has Sophie had done? Dearl lord.
And the winer goes to: Kate Winslet, "The Reader." Finally!!!! Angelina looks genuinely happy for her. Welcome to the club girl and no, it's not a shampoo bottle now. Great moment with Winslet's dad. Wow, shout out to Peter Jackson for her first big role. And a wonderful moment when she tells Meryl she has to just "suck it up."
(Interesting, no thanks to Harvey Weinstein. Hmmmm.)
Which actors will we get to present?
Robert De Niro, Ben Kingsley, Anthony Hopkins, Adrien Brody and Michael Douglas. Another standing ovation.
Best line of the night: "How did he do it? How did Sean Penn get all those roles playing straight men?"
And the winner is: Sean Penn, "Milk." As, cough, predicted.
Great run by Rourke, but it's hard to overcome that SAG loss.
Another great line: "You commie loving, homo-loving sons of guns."
Second great line: "I know how hard it is to appreciate me often."
Way to go Sean to bring up Prop 8. Thank you. And a great shout out to Mickey Rourke.
And here to present Best Picture, Steven Spielberg. Sigh.
Nice montage of comparing current nominees to past Oscar winners and nominees.
And the winner is? Is there any doubt?
"Slumdog Millionaire."
Great image of the whole cast up on stage. Especially the young kids from Mumbai. A great underdog story. A movie that was almost dumped on DVD wins 6 Academy Awards. Pretty amazing when you think about it.
The final images of the clips of upcoming movies from 2009 had our first looks at "Public Enemies," "Amelia" and "The Boat That Rocked." Not bad. Let's hope it stays a tradition.
Hope you guys enjoyed the recap. Not a bad show considering the lack of drama.

Another Super Bowl Sunday without the Jets. You'd think I'd be used to it after 36 years, but it still sucks.
Through my years of watching and fanatically rooting for Gang Green, I've seen hated teams like the Patriots and Giants win multiple Super Bowls. I've seen Elway finally get his Super Bowl win. I've seen Favre get his Super Bowl win...with the Packers, of course. This year I see a team like the Cardinals get to the promise land, for goodness sake.
Where does it end?
Every year I wear my "colors" each Super Bowl Sunday. I hear all of the smartass comments, but it doesn't matter. I have to represent my team even though it won't be participating in the ultimate game once again.
There have been moments I thought it was going to happen. 1982 Mud Bowl loss to the hated FISH in the AFC Championship Game. The double-overtime loss to the Browns in the divisional round. Another AFC Championship Game loss, this time to the Broncos in 1998 and two more divisional round losses against Oakland and Pittsburgh most recently.
Still, no trips to the biggest game in the world since the 1969 Super Bowl III victory over the Colts. 40 years and counting for the franchise I spill blood sweat and tears over each and every season since I've been old enough to understand the game.
Our latest hope was hired two weeks ago in the way of Rex Ryan. He stated the Jets will be there in the next four years. If that is the case I will certainly be ready for it. After the amount of time I've been waiting, 4 years is like a walk in the park.
Now, it's off to watch another Super Bowl involving two teams, neither of which is the Jets.
I'm getting pretty tired of it.

HARTFORD, Conn. – Maya Moore cared more about her team's stellar play than breaking another record.
The senior All-American had 27 points to pass Angel McCoughtry as the Big East's all-time scoring leader as No. 2 UConn routed 14th-ranked Oklahoma 86-45 on Monday night.
"It's the icing on the cake because if we had come out and played really poorly, it would be really hard to celebrate," she said.
Moore needed 11 points to pass the former Louisville All-American, who scored 2,779 points from 2006-2009. Moore drove the lane and made a one-handed scoop shot with her right hand to set the record with 7:52 left in the first half.
"There's nobody else like Maya in the country," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "When she's playing like that, everyone else feels like they can get involved as well."
She also moved past McCoughtry into 16th place on the career NCAA Division I scoring list. Jackie Stiles, who played at Southwest Missouri State from 1998-2001, is the career scoring leader at 3,393 points.
Moore scored 18 of her points in the first half, helping Connecticut build a 46-18 lead at the break. She finished 12-for-18 from the field with seven rebounds, seven assists and six steals.
"Maya is an amazing person to watch," UConn teammate Lorin Dixon said. "She rightfully deserves everything she gets. I'm in awe of her."
Connecticut (25-1) won its 14th straight game overall and 76th straight at home.
Stefanie Dolson had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies, Tiffany Hayes scored 13 points and had seven rebounds and Bria Hartley added 11 points.
Danielle Robinson led Oklahoma (18-7) with 14 points and Nicole Griffin added 10.
UConn shot 56 percent from the field (36-for-64) and held Oklahoma to 30 percent (19-for-64). The Huskies outrebounded Oklahoma 49-28.
"UConn had competitive fire on every possession and I am embarrassed," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "I am embarrassed by our lack of fight. In 15 years, I have to say that this is the worst loss."
It was actually Oklahoma's biggest defeat since losing to Stephen F. Austin 106-54 on March 8, 1978, in the Southwest AIAW Championship.
UConn made 20 of 32 shots in the first half and led by scores of 14-4, 23-6 and 35-8. Carlee Roethlisberger's 3-pointer with 4:53 left in the half got the Sooners within 37-13, the closest they had been since trailing 27-6 five minutes earlier.
"The way we came out to start this game was incredible," Moore said. "Everyone had a lot of energy. Couldn't have asked for a better effort from my team.
The Sooners shot 25 percent from the field in the first half and missed 12 of their 13 3-point attempts.
"(UConn) has three people diving after loose balls and there wasn't one (Oklahoma) jersey on that side of the floor," Coale said. "That's the stuff that drives me crazy."
Dixon fed Moore a pass along the baseline which led to a layup and gave UConn a 23-6 lead with 9:14 left in the first half. UConn made 10 of its first 16 shots (63 percent).
Hayes made two free throws with 12:52 left in the first half to cap an 8-0 run and give Connecticut a 14-4 lead. The Sooners missed 14 of their first 17 shots.
Huskies cruise as Moore becomes Big East's career scoring leader

Azsherae Gary '11 is a Sociology major with a concentration in African American Studies. Her mentor is Mary Osirim. Azsherae is interested in learning about different and effective approaches for reaching African American boys. More specifically she is interested in how young black boys understand their worlds. By focusing on strategies (academic and social) that work within a particular organization, she hopes to use her research on a mentoring organization in Philadelphia as a template that better understands the success of young black men and how we can better help them. Her project currently seeks to answer the following question what social practices and components within a local community organization influence high school graduation rates for black boys? This summer Azsherae participated in the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Research Training Program at the University of Chicago.
Felicia Meekins
'11 is a Growth and Structure of Cities major. Her summer project
focused on city planning and low income families. She is interested in the
socioeconomic conditions of low-income families; primarily, how neighborhood
initiatives create stability for families and rebuild strong communities. This
past summer, Felicia had an internship at a non-profit organization in
Philadelphia, achieveAbility, whose mission is to permanently break the cycle of
poverty for single parent, low-income families, many formerly homeless, by
providing a range of support services including: education, job readiness, and
housing assistance. Working with the staff, Felicia helped achieveAbility to
establish a comprehensive financial literacy program for their clients. In
addition to following the progress of the financial literacy program, she
explored the problems with financial literacy and homeownership for families in
poverty and its relationship to the economic growth of the city. Her research
will also include how different cities reach a successful intersection of
grassroots organization and top-down planning. Her mentor is Gary
Jennifer Pierre '11 is a Political Science Major at Bryn Mawr College. Her two mentors, Professor Michael Allen and Professor Kalala Ngalamulume, will assist her in analyzing as well as dissecting the role of the United Nations in post conflict societies. More specifically, she hopes to identify the UN's role as being either advantageous or detrimental to these countries, and predict the UN's role in future or current conflicts such as those taking place in Darfur or the DRC. Since she is a new Mellon, she has not yet narrowed down her broad subject to particular case studies. This summer, during her internship with the United States Mission to the United Nations, she hopes to accomplish this task while also acquiring foundational information about the UN and its peacekeeping missions. In future summers, Jennifer hopes to participate in research programs that would allow her to focus exclusively on her research topic alongside professors in her field.
Katherine Sepulveda, '11
As philosophy major, I am excited to participate a search for knowledge through asking and seeking to find answers to questions about humanity and its place in the world. I am interested in the interaction of the self in the world and hope to pursue (and to narrow!) my interest through studying Heidegger, a 20th century continental philosopher. Heidegger portrayed Being as an action rather than as a static entity and used his background in the history of philosophy and thought from his primary teacher, Husserl, to promote a new understanding of Being and its place in time. In my project, I will explore the potential Heidegger's thought offers to develop a historically influenced understanding of the self's place in the world, an understanding which also remains adaptable to the changes which will shape our development and pursuit of knowledge both today and in the future. This past summer, I focused on background reading--Augustine, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche--and in the fall, I look forward to directly concentrating on Heidegger with my mentor, Professor Robert Dostal. I also delight in listening to other ideas and in hearing about other disciplines. If you, the reader of this little blurb, would ever like to find out more about my project or to share a thought, feel free to drop me a line at: email@example.com .

So about a year ago I received a call from a friend who had free sneak preview tickets to some movie called "Superbad." I had no idea what the movie was about and I had never even heard of it. I quickly went to YouTube and typed in "Superbad trailer." I could not stop laughing and I immediatly called my friend back and told him I would go with him. The rest is history.
"Superbad" has proven to stand the test of comedy time. There have been many attempts to overthrow this movie from its throne, but it continues to stay strong. "Stepbrothers" was a funny movie, but it contained no where near the amount of one liners that "Superbad" did. The makers of "Superbad" tried to recreate the magic with "Pineapple Express," and they sort of did. "Pineapple Express" definately had more of a plot line, but once again, "Superbad" outnumbered "Pineapple Express" with the quotable lines.
Teenagers love to quote movies, and that is why "Superbad" is still on top. One day there will be a movie funnier than "Superbad" because that's that way of the film industry.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Mike Aviles rounded third Sunday and headed straight for yesteryear.
Mr. Aviles, meet Mr. Lofton.
Aviles' scoring sprint against Seattle from second on a roller in the dirt in front of home plate brought back, except for the context, Kenny Lofton's pell-mell dash from second to score on a passed ball in the clinching game of the 1995 American League Championship Series, also against Seattle.
Aviles' play was more thrilling than Willie Mays Hayes scoring on the silver screen from second on a bunt in "Major League."
Sunday's Mariners pitcher, Felix Hernandez, had to cover home because catcher Jesus Montero was occupied in fielding the ball and pivoting to get a better angle for the throw to first. But Hernandez froze and left no one home and, frankly, no light on.
The play showed that these Indians can win with the long ball and the itty-bitty ball, the latter because of their speed, something that simply didn't exist in the recent past except for the brittle Grady Sizemore.
It's not just the fleet outfielders in Michael Brantley, Michael Bourn and Stubbs, whose backups include wall-bangers Aviles and recent AL Player of the Week award-winner Ryan Raburn. Only Sizemore and Lofton could really fly in the last generation of Indians' outfielders.
Lofton was a world-class athlete, the sixth man on a Final Four basketball team at Arizona, and a wall climber whose equal was maybe Spider-Man. He could be fooled by a big swing into taking the wrong break on the ball and still outrun his mistake. He could not, however, outrun the initial misread when Brady Anderson's pop fly dropped in to extend what became a season-ending Tribe playoff game against Baltimore in 1996.
It's not just in the fleet base-runners, either. A double steal by Bourn and Stubbs in the Mariners series didn't even draw a throw from Montero. Bourn started Sunday's game with a double. The extra base was earned by his legs.
One of the biggest changes in this Indians team compared to the station-to-station ball of the Eric Wedge era or the stat-geeked lineup of not very larrupin' lefties last year is the judicious use of speed by the current Indians. Sheer hustle by Carlos Santana affected the concentration of Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen, who dropped a throw that would have meant the final out of the game Monday. The Indians tied the game, 7-7, on the play and came back again to win on Yan Gomes' three-run home run in the 10th, 10-8.
When the Indians won two of three at Detroit, a venue in which the Tigers had usually been the car and the Indians the road pizza, Bourn showed how much things have changed in grasping the subtleties of the game. In the 10th, Bourn was on first with Carlos Santana on second when Mark Reynolds singled to left. Bourn could have probably gone from first to third, but if he were thrown out, Santana's run might not score before he was tagged. So he deliberately got himself in a rundown to make sure what turned out to be the winning run scored.
The flip side of that was a base-running mistake that cost a game in the 1990s era. Glorious as those teams were in many ways, they sometimes had, as former Boston Herald columnist Michael Gee once wrote, "the inside-baseball sense of a fungo bat."
Manny Ramirez, the Tribe's wandering wayfarer, was on third, Omar Vizquel on first, and the Indians were down a run when what seemed to be a game-tying sacrifice fly was turned into the third out by Ramirez's nonchalant jog home after tagging up and Vizquel's inexplicable attempt to move up to second on the same play. Vizquel was tagged out well before Manny sauntered across the plate.
Manager Mike Hargrove turned his post-game wrath on Ramirez, a young player at the time, not Vizquel, a veteran. But, while Ramirez definitely could have spared everyone the home run trot to the plate, the play was behind him, and it was in front of Vizquel, who really had no excuse for his play.
Wedge spent a lot of time harping on playing fundamentally sound baseball during his seven years in the Indians' dugout. The reverse often occurred, although seldom to the extent of the traveling circus he has brought to Cleveland in this series.
Baseball is more of a team game than many think. There are sacrifices, such as Bourn's rundown, that are never recorded in the box score. It's only the quarter-pole of the long season, but there are encouraging signs that early contention will have some durability for a change.
The Tribe can outslug you, outrun you, and -- who'd have thought it off the recent model? -- out-think you.

Each week in this space we take a look at the Jets' upcoming opponent. Conor Orr does a great job with the Jets' film review, this is an attempt to give you a condensed peak at what their foe did the past week. Last Sunday, the St. Louis Rams tied the San Francisco 49ers 24-24.
These three players deserved kudos for their work
Danny Amendola. The wide receiver had 11 catches for 102 yards, proving upon his return from a shoulder injury that he is Sam Bradford's favorite target. But he's not only a reliable pass catcher, he's shifty after the catch as well, with 58 of his yards coming after he made the reception. In many ways he's like Wes Welker (even coming from Texas Tech), who has given the Jets so many problems all these years. His biggest play, an 80-yard catch and run on the first play from scrimmage in overtime that would have set up the Rams at the 49ers' 2-yard line, was negated by an illegal formation penalty. There he lined up out wide, instead of the slot where he usually works, and blew by the 49ers' cornerback.
Chris Long. Long caused havoc for the Niners' pass protection. Though he had just one sack, he also had two quarterback hits and Pro Football Focus counted eight hurries. He continuously collapsed the pocket, on one play driving right tackle Anthony Davis straight back until he was almost at arm's length of the quarterback.
Special teams trickery. How about the chutzpah the Rams showed Sunday? They ran not one but two fake punts. The first was gutsy, with punter Johnny Hekker throwing out of his own end zone with 49 seconds remaining in the first half and the team on its own 10-yard line. The result was a 21-yard completion. Then the Rams did it again in the fourth quarter from their own 33-yard line. This time they faked an end-around, had Hekker roll out to his left and loft a pass over a jumping defender for a 19-yard gain. The play sustained a drive that ultimately led to a go-ahead TD with 1:09 remaining.
These players might get a rebuke
The offensive line. Let's say there were some issues. The Niners sacked Bradford twice, hit him six times and hurried him 11 more times. But the raw numbers alone don't say enough. The second quarter ended with two straight plays where left guard Shelley Smith first gave up a pressure then a sack to Aldon Smith, both of which came on stunts. It was the same play and Smith, again, that ended their drive in overtime with a sack. Rodger Saffold's illegal formation penalty negated an 80-yard catch in overtime. Of the Rams' 13 penalties, six were committed by the offensive line.
The linebackers. The Niners ran for 183 yards, at 5.3 yards per carry. Not all of that was on the linebacking corps as QB Colin Kaepernick rushed for 66 yards. James Laurinaitis and JoLonn Dunbar both graded out negatively in run defense by Pro Football Focus.
Isaiah Pead. He was a non-factor as a kick returner, averaging 20 yards on four returns. Worse, he fumbled on a return midway through the fourth quarter. The Niners recovered at the 20-yard line and Frank Gore ran it in on the ensuing play.

Vornado Needs a Spinoff Strategy That Makes Sense (and Money)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After years of losing bets on investments outside its core real estate business, Vornado Realty Trust
If those rumors from earlier in March are true, it wouldn't be the first real estate investment trust to go down that road.
American Realty Capital Properties
For Vornado, whose shares trade around $98 and are up over 10% for the year to date, a spinoff would continue be another part of the REIT's plan to simplify.
Vornado was founded in 1962 and became a REIT in 1993. It has a portfolio of over 73 million square feet, primarily located in the New York and Washington, D.C. areas, the source of about 80% of its earnings. The company also owns retail properties primarily in the Northeast, California, and Puerto Rico. The chairman and CEO is Steve Roth.
When Vornado has made investments outside its core business of high-quality office and retail properties, things haven't gone very well. It took an investment approach similar to that of a mutual fund strategy in an attempt to diversify revenue.
That strategy had Vornado making debt and/or equity investments in numerous companies in whichthe REIT didn't have control including investments in Roth's company Alexander's Inc.
The bets haven't paid off and the company has been working feverishly to shed the non-core assets ever since.
In September Vornado sold its remaining 13.4 million shares in J.C. Penney

The gesture is largely symbolic.
But the pitch follows widespread efforts to persuade Oregon consumers and those elsewhere to ditch big banks in favor of local ones and credit unions. And, of course, Saturday marks national Bank Transfer Day.
Others politicians, including some in Portland, have proposed similar ideas. But it's not one the city has embraced. Portland, like other governments, bases its investment decisions on many factors to protects its funds. The proposed shift probably wouldn't produce profound changes.
Smith acknowledged that on The Huffington Post.
"Our proposal is admittedly a humble step -- it won't bring many jobs
home, narrow much of the growing wealth gap, or put enough people to
work," he wrote. "It will shift some of our deposits to local nonprofit
institutions. It's a smaller proposal about a bigger thing."

Deputies cry foul over labor practices
"A relationship already strained by a labor contract stalemate took another turn for the worse last week when the deputy sheriffs' union formally accused Kitsap County of an unfair labor practice.The complaint filed with the state Public Employees Relations Commission alleged the county unfairly refused to negotiate with the union over changes in the deputies' medical coverage.Contract negotiations between the Kitsap County Deputy Sheriffs' Guild and the county are at an impasse. The guild claims that while the negotiations were reaching the point that both sides requested arbitration last month, the county unilaterally increased the insurance premiums for the employees' health coverage.County administrator Malcolm Fleming denied the alleged missteps by the county.A state labor board might rule within eight weeks on the union's accusation of unfair labor practices, according to Jim Cline, an attorney representing the deputies. He said the case could delay the start of a new contract, once the latter is dictated by a state arbitrator.The two sides are in the process of choosing an arbitrator who will conduct hearings on the contract dispute and then make a binding decision on a new deal.Cline, one of the deputies' negotiators, has accused the county negotiators, including Fleming, of stonewalling other contract issues because of the wide difference over wages. The deputies are working under the terms of a former contract - also reached through arbitration - that expired Dec. 31 last year. They want a new two-year deal with 5 percent salary increases for both years. The county is offering 2.5 percent raises a year over three years.On the medical coverage issue, Cline said the the coverage changes made unilaterally simply reflect Kitsap County's continued amateurish approach to labor negotiations. It's about time they got their act together.Fleming said the claim of unfair labor practice isn't necessary to resolve this issue. We have a difference of opinion. I thought we were going to resolve it through arbitration. If the arbitrator awards something different than what we want in the contract, we'll make it retroactive to Jan. 1."

I think anything under 7 is a strong buy. Too bad I'm out of loot.
I thought under 8 was, too.
Yeah, problem is you just don't know where the bottom is with panic selling. It could go down to $5 by tomorrow or go back up to $8. Nobody knows.
If it gets down to $5.30 I'll pick some up which is why I'm watching this stock even though I don't have any shares. The potential is huge but the risk are also sky high, Couple that with all this craziness surrounding the resignation of Chief R&D officer and it's just too crazy right now.
If you believe in the company ..pick a number.. I did, unfortunately from $8.50 down. Maybe support now at $6.70...we can be hopeful. This sets up all the marbles at ASCO. If they don't hit it out of the park...UGH!

Sleepover Party Review
January 25, 2010 12:53 pm by: Guys Go Crazy • 4 comments!
Hugh Hefner would be proud to see Tommy Rogers in silk pajamas. Hugh would be equally proud to know that they would soon be coming off.
There was no sleeping and after repeated viewings from every angle, I have yet to find a skateboard. But hey, it was another fun loving history making GGC party.
"Romantic" is not a term that would immediately come to mind when describing down and dirty GGC parties. (The first romantic gathering was the candlelit After Dark party and Alex Merritt, awkwardly, tells Keith in their interview on the blog that GGC parties are filled with romance.)
Well, who would think that a sk8r sleepover party would warrant that description? It's one of the many things that makes GGC so interesting.
Always wild power bottom Tommy Rogers and super active top Thomas Lee open the sleepover intertwined romantically. Nicholas Shay is over them with his POV cam as they kiss, slowly undress and fondle.
The underwear worn by Thomas Lee, Thomas Friedl and the cute guy in the brown trunks was awarded following this party. (type "bananas" into the search engine to the right and you'll learn all about it.)
This party will be known for the earliest two cumshots. Try and find a party where two guys cum in segment one. Thomas Lee blows his load and the big armed small dicked (but cute) guy (he was a star at the Spring Break '07 party) drops his load onto Tommy R. Speaking of cumshots, this party has to be known for the quickest cumshot. Notice that Rune Gartner arrives on the scene wearing orange shorts. After getting a little head and sucking on Matt Dominic he quickly blasts one of his very impressive, splattering high flying loads across Thomas F. and the gathering of hunks on the bed. Rune began at the Masquerade party demonstrating his early and repeated cumshots. He's always up again in about two minutes. Rune also has to be the most impressively versatile party goer. He is as voracious a bottom as he is a top.
At this early point too, Felix LeCroix takes a six guy bukkake load. Per usual, Chris Cool stands out with his typically rich and powerful load. Felix, still jock clad and with a totally glazed face, delivers an impressive blast himself.
The party has to also be a record breaker for the number of guys on the bed. Speaking of records, I don't know how many cold showers it will take me to get through this review.
Other noticeable high points include a cam guy, in English, saying in seg four that "every shot is taken on the bed. We need others." Other English was a real turn on when Franco is plowing Rune missionary style and Rune says (with his Danish accent,) "like that? yeah, give me some dick." A real power fuck pairing, Rune and Franco seal it with a nice kiss.
Seg two begins with Felix LeCroix' jock clad ass preparing for its major workout. Pajama clad Daniel Student does the honors with the opening fuck and some fun spanking and jock snapping (hope to see more jock strap fucking at future parties.)
Felix getting gang banged (which he obviously loves) is a continuing theme. Underscoring GGC's commitment to safety Felix after getting fucked pulls the condom off of his partner before sucking. Felix vocalizes his enjoyment really well here. Next up Chris Cool does a nice (albeit brief) job as he takes his turn on Felix.
Matt Dominic is another real standout in his striped shirt. He looked so cute with his eyes closed next to our hairy assed friend.
Seg three opens with a three-way including cute hairy assed guy, Franco and Denis. Keeping all of those shorts on to frame dicks and asses is always a welcome touch. On the scene arrives a tall flabby guy whom I have not seen since the Fleshdance party when he got to fuck Brad Marcus (yes, Brad's only bottoming performance and it was at the very first party.)
Franco has his way with jock clad Felix. It was particularly cute to see Felix, grasping his tail as he runs away from always aggressive Franco. Rune does a nice group of toppings including camera carrying Nicholas, whose low hanging balls are showcased beautifully at this party. Rune then gets a kewl header from Matt D. while rimming Franco. Something else unique is that faces (including Keith's) occasionally peek through the brilliant blue and green curtains obviously wanting to catch some of the action.
As the finale opens curly haired beauty Chad Driver takes it from Rune to the tune of "Let's Hear it for the Boy." Another vintage power plow ensues as Franco hits Mike Gate. Then the order comes for EVERYBODY to pile onto the bed. Talk about a fleshfest!!! Most notable is a Jose Fernando/Franco Gregorio double fuck of the dark haired vet whose name I still don't know. Of course Franco's stand up/screaming cumshot elicits an enthusiastic response from the gang.
Well, another GGC soiree is in the history books. Now, I'm so wound up that a Rune/Daniel/Chris/Franco type splash is imminent. Til the next party it's Jamie Tando your exclusive GGC party reviewer saying have fun, stay safe and keep loving. Don't forget that GGC RULES!!!
