By Rudy A. Rodas
A high voter turnout for Trenton's upcoming mayoral elections would likely prevent the enactment of policies that favor only a few and would increase accountability at City Hall. Just as a disengaged voter base leads to poor and skewed leadership at City Hall, Trenton's poor voter turnout is also a major reason why the city lacks the political capital it needs to have its interests considered at county, state and federal levels.
For Trenton to succeed, it needs to develop a healthy relationship with these higher-level decision makers. At first glance, this relationship appears damaged by former Mayor Tony Mack's poor and corrupt leadership. For example, when Mack requested $10 million from the state to hire more police officers, Republican Gov. Chris Christie refused to acknowledge the mayor, stating, "I have no response to anything that the indicted mayor of Trenton has to say."
In another example, Democratic State Senate President Stephen Sweeney remarked that state officials did not trust Mack. He said, "Right now, you are basically in a time warp, you are frozen in time, until someone comes in that the state is going to trust that every dollar that is going to be spent is the way they said it is going to be spent." With Mack in office, high-level officials from both major political parties were deterred from helping the city of Trenton. However, Mack's removal does not ensure that Trenton will receive the outside support it needs to move forward.
Due to its disengaged voters, Trenton has weak political standing in a state where similar cities and municipalities are competing for resources. This was evident during the 2013 gubernatorial election. Gov. Christie sought to widen his profile as a viable presidential candidate by actively seeking voters and political endorsements from traditionally Democratic urban areas. Based on the news coverage, the governor's campaign was very active in Jersey City, Paterson, Orange and Union City, but not as active in Trenton. These cities (including Trenton) are heavily Democratic, have majority minority populations, and have poverty rates above the national average of 15 percent. Given the similarities, why was the state capital not a major part of the governor's (a presidential contender) urban outreach strategy?
Trenton's voter participation was a factor. Although Paterson and Jersey City had the same low voter turnout as Trenton (29 percent) in their last mayoral elections, they had substantially more voters participate (19,477 and 39,639, respectively) than the capital city (11,632). Alternatively, Union City (28,503) has significantly fewer registered voters than Trenton (37,407 as of 2011), but had a much higher voter turnout (42 percent) and more participating voters (12,113) in its last mayoral election.
It appears Gov. Christie's campaign strategists purposefully decided not to focus campaign resources on Trenton. In retrospect, it was a strategically sound decision, as only 12,291 Trentonians voted in the gubernatorial election. In Jersey City, 30,719 people voted, while in Paterson, 20,028 people voted, easily dwarfing the amount of participating voters in Trenton. As for Union City, it produced almost the same amount of voters as Trenton (11,252) even though it is a substantially smaller city. Following Union City's lead, Trenton will be relevant in the state only if it can make up for its small size with large participation from its electorate.
Candidates' failure to engage voters has tremendous consequences, from the local level to the state and federal levels. With only two months left before the election, it is disappointing that voter engagement does not appear to be a priority for most of the candidates. To my knowledge, only one of the candidates has visited the Polish establishments in North Trenton and engaged the residents from that community. If more than one-third of the city speaks a non-English language at home, there is no reason why most candidates have not published non-English language campaign literature. Instead of directly appealing to Trenton residents, some candidates have spent time soliciting endorsements from the same people who helped a now-convicted felon become mayor.
Failure to exchange ideas with the different groups in Trenton shows a complete disregard of their value to the city. Résumés and endorsements may help win the election, but without increasing voter turnout, the winner will not have the credibility or the mandate to sway outside decision makers to make Trenton a priority. The organizing done by city residents to lobby Gov. Christie to build a new high school is a small sample of what Trenton's engaged voters can accomplish. Trenton's next mayor should act with the understanding that the city's political livelihood and revitalization depend on its voter turnout and engaged residents.

If I had more money I would go for one from weightvest.com, I mean, I guess it's a worthy investment but 300 just kills right now... thanks for the input fellas.
I just found this one at Z-fitness: http://www.4fits.com/index.php?main_...roducts_id=262
I wonder if it's any good since the price is so dramatically lower than the other brands.
If I had more money I would go for one from weightvest.com, I mean, I guess it's a worthy investment but 300 just kills right now... thanks for the input fellas.
I went ahead on got the 80 pound one for a total of $169 including shipping. I will report back as to the quality of it. 80 pounds should be plenty for a long time. I will probably only use 20-25 pounds at most initially with upper body and use about 50 for lower body workouts. This will be interesting.
I was thinking that I'm going to wait a little on the weight vest and start doing more one-arm or one-leg work. I'm going to start progressing into one arm chins, pistols etc. I figure there's still plenty to be done with just bodyweight alone. I'll probably still get a vest soon, but going to wait and see if a used 60pounder pops up...
I've been looking around as well and by what everyone says, the cheaper vests will fall apart or aren't as comfy as the weightvest.com type. I don't mind putting money down on something of great quality and will get lots of use. No bad reviews for weightvest...
Dag this thread is old. I'm laughing looking at my goals, but at least I'm still pursuing them.
As luck would have it, a friend sole me his vest from weightvest.com a 50lb vest for $100 and I've been using it a lot.
I need to work outdoors more often or join a gym already. I think my home workouts are limiting mostly due to the height issue. I have a door frame bar at my apt and do hang rings from it but I can only do a few things from it, dips and some holds. Pull ups or anything where I'd be hanging off them (except front and back lever progressions) require me to tuck my legs so it's hard to work on any explosive movements like the muscle-up ... and I'm not strong enough for a no momentum muscle up yet.

A law firm employee worked in tandem with an employee from a Kenner chiropractic office to steal about $70,000 from the chiropractor over about a year, according to a Kenner police report.
Angel A. Junio, 35, from Kenner, and Alisha B. Thibodaux, 29, from Luling, have both been booked with theft greater than $500, conspiracy to commit theft greater than $500 and forgery.
Thibodaux had no comment and Junio could not be reached Monday.
Junio was a case manager at a New Orleans law firm that handled personal injury claims of people seen by Chiropractic Strategies Group in Kenner, according to a Kenner police report. When lawsuits were settled, the law firm would make out checks to the chiropractic group, the report said.
But Junio took those checks, cashed them in a personal checking account and made out a cashier's check or money order for a lesser amount, the report said.
Thibodaux, working as a collections manager at the chiropractic office, would alter the account balance on the computer system, said Brian McGregor, Kenner police Department spokesman.
The two split the difference, he said.
An operations manager at the chiropractic group suspected the theft and reported it to the Police Department, McGregor said.
Junio was released from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center June 9 on $15,000 in personal surety bonds. Thibodaux was released June 30 on $80,000 in personal surety bonds.

The biggest question facing the nation's largest military shipbuilder is how will Congress pay for the next generation of ballistic missile submarines, the head of Huntington Ingalls Industries said Thursday.
Aircraft carriers and amphibious warships aside, CEO Mike Petters said the funding strategy for replacing Ohio-class submarines is the number-one issue for the industry, not just the company.
"That could become our greatest opportunity and could also become our greatest risk, if it's not done right," Petters said at the Credit Suisse Industrials Conference in Florida.
The Navy plans to replace its aging Ohio-class submarines with a new 12-boat fleet. It...

Adam Wallerstein threw six touchdown passes and ran for one touchdown to lead Lakeland to a 47-27 victory over Demarest in Wanaque on Friday night.
Wallerstein was airing the ball out all game long and five of his six TD passes were 25 yards or longer. Steven Thompson caught three of the touchdown receptions on passes of 35-yards, 25-yards and one more 25-yard score. Brandon Ortiz scored on a 55-yard pass from Wallerstein and Jake Catalioto caught a 14-yard TD reception. Tony Calabro scored a 5-yard TD pass from Wallerstein to end the scoring.
Demarest quarterback Matt Liparini had a big game and scored on two long TD runs and passed for one. His first score came on a 70-yard run to tie the game at 6-6 in the first quarter. In the third quarter he connected with Anthony Doran for a 60-yard TD pass. His second rushing touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a 25-yard carry.

Imagine you're a big burly maple tree. It's in your DNA to drop your seeds and start baby maple trees growing. But you can't pick up your roots and trundle along to find the optimal spot for them. What do you do? Rely on wind power.
A diverse number of plants harness the movement of a stiff breeze to disperse seeds. The maple is well known, because it's fun to watch the helicopter rotor-like seeds — my family calls them whirligigs — spin to the ground.
Many tree seeds are designed to glide, spin or sail at least a few feet out of a parent's shadow, even farther when caught by a wind draft. Ash, weeping willow, sycamore, tulip poplar, linden and birch trees fall into that category. Likewise, elms have a little disc with a seed embedded in the middle that sails to earth.
The Eastern cottonwood tree is impossible to miss when its seed capsules split open and release oodles of small seeds tethered to cottony strands that float with the air currents.
Lightweights like the cottonwood seed can travel great distances, as can the parachutists. The classic parachute seed, and one of the earliest we'll see this spring, is the ubiquitous dandelion. A gusty day can disperse tons of them, although it may not match the lung power of a determined pack of kids blowing on the puffy dandelion globes.
Milkweed pods contain hundreds of parachute seeds, with a tuft of silky hairs attached to each to send them airborne. Velvety brown, cigar-shaped cattail spikes also are packed full of seeds with poufs of silky hairs in tow. Seeds from the spiny thistle lift in the wind due to their feathery thistledown.
Infinitesimally lighter and smaller than the parachute seeds are the minute spores that moss and ferns use to reproduce. "Their spores are so small they blow in the wind forever," said New Jersey botanist Karl Anderson. To improve their chances of success, the capsules holding moss spores have caps on their ends.
"This cap stays open in dry weather but closes when it's damp so that the spores don't get dumped out and stick to the closest damp surface," said Anderson.
The seeds from some plants reside in cup-like pods that the wind can bend and shake to tip them out a few feet. One example is the columbine, whose lightweight, black seeds spill out of their seedpods with wind assistance.
Plants that shoot their seeds might benefit from the wind but they are so intriguing that I wanted to mention them. "Geraniums are built so that when the seed pod is ripe it pops open at a touch and flings the seed some distance," said Anderson.
You'll hear a snapping sound when witch hazel ejects its seeds up to 30 feet from the plant, also giving it the moniker, snapping hazelnut. The aptly named touch-me-not plant explodes open when a ripe seed pod is touched, throwing its seeds all around. Wild iris, lady slippers, and violets also fall into this group.
Soon plants will be bursting out all over, and with the growing season upon us I'm going to take more note of what seeds I find blowing in the wind.

The Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club Special Olympics Sailing program, canceled last year because of the effects of Superstorm Sandy, resumes this year and volunteer skippers and coaches are needed.
For the special needs athletes who take part, mostly young adults, the program provides a unique outing on the water once a week during the warm months. The experience is also special for the volunteers, said program chairman Mike Young.
"It's a really rewarding way to give back," Young said. "The amount of good feeling for the coaches and captains is special."
Volunteer skippers use their sailboats, typically from 18 to 35 feet. Two athletes are aboard each boat, accompanied by two volunteer coaches. Coaches should have at least basic sailing experience.
The program runs Tuesday evenings, June 3 through Aug. 12, followed by a party Aug. 19. The sessions begin at 6 p.m. for about two hours. Volunteers are asked to commit to participating in at least four sessions, Young said.
For more information and to volunteer, email Young at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Get ready to launch
Finally, it's spring, and our thoughts turn to our neglected boats, peering out from under their winter covers. While there is likely plenty of cleaning, sanding and painting ahead, here are some thoughts on items to check after the tough winter.
If water collected and froze in the cockpit and deck, the thaw will start at the top but ice may remain below and the drains may remain frozen. Check for damage. You may have removed hoses while preparing your engine for the winter. Make sure they have been reinstalled and tightened with marine-grade hose clamps.
Clear any cockpit drains of leftover fall leaves and debris, so that any rain yet to come has a place to run out.
Engines can be damaged if they were not properly drained of water before the freeze. The problem will show as leaks around seals, said Beth Leonard, technical director at BoatUS.
Thaw and freeze cycles creating moist air spell corrosion for electrical connections. Also in the electrical department, batteries should be properly charged, preferably using a proper marine charger to deliver the right charging cycle for the battery type.
A weak point, often the cause of sinking at the dock, are sea strainers, where engine cooling water is drawn in, damaged by freezing. Check for cracks on the thru-hull fitting. Make sure the strainer is properly in place.
On inboard engines, the stuffing box, where the propeller shaft passes through the hull, should be inspected before the boat is launched. When the boat is in the water, final adjustment is made to allow just the right amount of drip when the engine is running to lubricate the spot.
Stuffing box failure can sink a boat, said Charles Fort of Boat US. Stuffing box hose clamps must be inspected, he warns, especially the hard-to-see bottom part. The clamps should be stainless steel.
Boats covered for the winter are more susceptible to mold and mildew.
Air the boat out, Leonard said, and wipe down trouble spots with a vinegar solution. Use a good cleaner for carpeted areas.

Nasal antihistamines and decongestants
A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Nasal antihistamines and decongestants are agents, which when delivered into the nostril help relieve symptoms of hay fever and congestion.
Nasal antihistamines block the action of histamine, which is released on exposure to allergens. They are used to relieve hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and other nasal symptoms.
Nasal decongestants cause vasoconstriction in the nasal passages and relieve nasal congestion. Nasal congestion is caused by dilated blood vessels.

But even if Paul has yet to exhibit a broad range as an actor, it's a character he does well: a nice-guy loser with a drinking problem and a haunted look behind his watery eyes that hints at the reasons he can't just dig himself out.
It served him well in "Breaking Bad," and it serves him well in director Kat Candler's "Hellion," a gritty drama set in Nowhere, East Texas, and which boasts both emotion and edge -- and all set to a heavy metal soundtrack (with a snatch of zydeco thrown in).
Still, if there's a revelation in "Hellion," it is 14-year-old newcomer Josh Wiggins. He plays Paul's troubled son Jacob, an angry and wounded kid whose constant scrapes with the law -- coupled with the troubles of Paul's single-dad character -- have prompted authorities to remove little brother Wes from their home.
Jacob is bitter. He is defiant. His is full of venom, even if he's not really sure why. And the absence of Wes has only made things worse.
Jacob dreams of a motocross career, one that will help him escape his hellhole of a hometown. And he's good enough -- and daring enough -- to perhaps have one someday. When he's not on the bike, however, he finds other, far less acceptable -- even criminal -- outlets for the considerable aggression that he can no more control than he can explain.
He is, in other words, his own worst enemy, a kid with a frustratingly wide self-destructive streak. He is also exactly what you'd imagine Jesse Pinkman -- Paul's "Breaking Bad" character -- was like when he was but a mere punk.
What's more, Wiggins makes all of that abundantly clear with a performance that offers hints at the star he might one day become. He does it not just through his line delivery, but also through his ever-present scowl and through a tightly coiled demeanor that suggests a power keg that is about to blow.
It takes a lot to stand out in a cast that includes the likes of Paul and Juliette Lewis, but Wiggins proves up to the challenge. It'll be exciting to see where his career takes him next.
The question as "Hellion" builds to its agonizingly intense third act becomes this: Will Jacob and his father be able to put aside their grief, anger and lack of self-control long enough to convince authorities that Wes belongs with them? Or will Jacob be claimed by the state as well and shipped to a juvenile detention center?
What's more, are either of them equipped to take the steps necessary to mend their respective broken hearts and salvage what they can of their strained relationship?
The resulting coming-of-age story isn't necessarily an uplifting one. It is harsh. It is melancholy. It is sometimes uncomfortable to watch and predictable here and there. But it also boasts a feeling of authenticity, drawing a portrait of the kind of teenage angst that comes with living on the outskirts of society and with the world seemingly against you.
Granted, Candler's character-driven story is a touch raw, a bit rough around the edges at times. But her technique is not. Hers is an impressively shot outing.
Even without the emergence of Wiggins, "Hellion" would be a rewarding film. With him, it becomes that much more so.
3 stars, out of 5
Snapshot: A gritty indie drama about a drunk father and his delinquent teenage son who must try to pull themselves together long enough to convince the state to return to them the youngest member of their fractured family.
What works: The young actor Josh Wiggins is a revelation in the lead role, with a moving performance that suggests the arrival of a potentially major talent.
What doesn't: The whole thing is awash in a certain indie-world familiarity.
Cast: Wiggins, Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis. Director: Kat Candler. Rating: Unrated, warrants R for language, violence and disturbing situations. Running time: 1 hour 38 minutes. Where: Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center.

By BUFFY SPENCER
SPRINGFIELD - A man whose mental health has been questioned by the defense testified on Tuesday that he saw Phillip Ayala firing a gun at the same time Clive Ramkissoon was shot and killed in June 2007 on Wilbraham Road.
Robert Perez, the prosecution's key witness in the murder case against the 37-year-old Ayala, testified at the end of a day filled with discussion of whether he would take the stand. His testimony is to resume Wednesday.
Jurors had reported for duty at 9:30 a.m. but did not hear testimony until nearly 3 p.m. As jurors waited behind closed doors, lawyers and Hampden Superior Court Judge Peter A. Velis spent the bulk of the day discussing Perez.
Velis granted defense lawyer Greg T. Schubert's request to hold off on his cross-examination of Perez, 32, until today. Schubert wanted a defense expert to review records about Perez's mental health.
Perez's mental health was the subject of hours of discussion among Schubert, defense lawyer Richard J. Rubin and prosecutors Donna S. Donato and Bethany Lynch with the judge. The discussion was held at the judge's bench, out of the hearing of anyone in the courtroom.
Perez consented to Velis' request that he undergo an analysis by a court psychiatrist to see if he was competent to give testimony. Results of that exam were not given publicly, but Perez did take the stand.
Ramkissoon, 32, of Windsor, Conn., was shot outside 336 Wilbraham Road in the early morning hours of June 10, 2007, after he left an after-hours party with Perez and a woman.
Perez told the jury he is an Army veteran and has worked as a salesman at various car dealerships. He also testified he had served a probationary sentence, beginning in 2000, for an unarmed robbery conviction.
Perez also testified he was arrested for larceny last summer and served a sentence for violating his probation because of the new charge.
In connection with the shooting, Perez testified he and Ramkissoon saw a woman walking on a city street and stopped to ask her where they could find a party. She got into their car to take them to the after-hours party on Wilbraham Road, Perez said.
Perez told the jury he was reluctant to go into the area where the woman was directing them. "It's not the best area as far as crime goes," he testified.

Holiday Health Tips
Page Content
December 20, 2012
Santa Clara County, CA.
The holidays are a time to celebrate, give thanks and reflect. They are also a time to pay special attention to your health. Here are 10 ways to stay healthy this holiday season.
1. Wash your hands often. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
2. Travel Safely. Don't drink and drive, and don't let someone else drink and drive. Wear a seat belt every time you are in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your child in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt according to his/her height, weight, and age.
3. Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and breathing other people's smoke. If you smoke, quit today! Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or talk to your health care provider.
4. Get check-ups and vaccinations. When you find health issues early the chances for treatment and cure are often better. Vaccinations help prevent diseases and save lives. Schedule a visit with your health care provider for a yearly exam and ask what vaccinations and tests you should get.
5. Watch the kids. Children are at high risk for injuries. Keep an eye on your kids when they're eating and playing. Keep potentially dangerous toys, food, drinks, household items, choking hazards (like coins and hard candy), and other objects out of kids' reach.
6. Prevent injuries. Injuries can occur anywhere and can happen around the holidays. Use step stools instead of furniture when hanging decorations. Wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or skateboarding to help prevent head injuries.
7. Prevent burn injuries. Most residential fires occur during the winter months. Keep candles away from children, pets, walkways, trees, and curtains. Never leave fireplaces, stoves, or candles unattended. Don't use generators, grills or other gasoline- or charcoal-burning devices inside your home or garage. Install a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in your home.
8. Handle and prepare food safely. As you prepare holiday meals and other meals, wash your hands and surfaces often. Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs (including their juices) away from ready-to-eat foods and eating surfaces. Cook foods to the proper temperature, refrigerate promptly and do not leave perishable foods out for more than 2 hours.
9. Stay warm. Cold temperatures can cause serious health problems, especially in infants and older adults. Stay dry and dress warmly in several layers of loose-fitting, tightly woven clothing.
10. Eat healthy, and be active. With balance and moderation, you can enjoy the holidays the healthy way. Choose fresh fruit as a festive and sweet substitute for candy. Select just one or two of your favorites from the host of tempting foods. Find fun ways to stay active, such as dancing to your favorite holiday music. Be active for at least 2½ hours a week. Help kids and teens be active for at least 1 hour a day.
Your health is important so use these tips to stay healthy. Visit

Dog DNA Test Nabs Mystery Poopers
Posted on Mar 19, 2013 by Jason
by Justin Knapfel
Pets Uncaged Contributor
A stroll through the neighborhood can be refreshing and relaxing. What is not refreshing is stepping in a pile of dog waste. A dog DNA testing franchise is hitting the scene to identify the offending owners who leave that stinky mess behind.
It's illegal to leave dog waste behind and could land a fine of up to $250 in Fairfax County Virginia, where I reside. Unfortunately, this law that is not enforced. According to Fairfaxcounty.gov, not one summons has been issued since the law was put into effect in 1999. Since the law is not enforced, it's up to residents to keep the neighborhoods clean.
Some neighborhoods across the country are trying to step up the effort to clean up their properties by enforcing the laws. In Houston, The Fairmont Museum District apartment complex has signed on with PooPrints, a company that uses DNA testing to identify the dog and its owner who left behind that pile of poo.
The new pet policy will require residents of the apartment complex to register their dogs with the property manager. The dog's DNA will be registered from a swabbing of the dog's cheek.
This new program will allow property management to track down the owner and fine them up to $500. When dog waste is left behind, management would be able to scoop up a sample and send it off to PooPrints for analysis. Once a match is found, a warning or fine would be given.
Since the DNA registration will include a small fee, current residents will not have to register until they are ready to renew their lease.
PooPrints is a growing company and has 25 franchises throughout the United States. They are even helping keep neighborhoods clean in Singapore, Canada and Israel. The growing business suggests this may be the future of enforcing pet waste laws.
It may seem an extreme way of enforcing the pet waste laws, but there are serious health concerns. It's not just about fouling up a pair of shoes. It can end up in your water supply.
The dog waste can infect humans with toxocara canis, commonly known as large roundworm. Along with roundworm, bacteria can be present and cause cramps, diarrhea, kidney and intestinal illness and even death to people.
With the new plans to catch the offending owners, dog walkers better arm themselves with gloves and plastic bags to avoid health issues from handling dog waste as well as the hefty fines.
What do you think? Is this a great idea, or a violation of a dog's privacy?

Directed and co-written by Pierre Salvadori, "Priceless" is a refreshingly simple romantic comedy that weaves the ridiculous with the heartfelt into one deliciously sweet film.
On its exterior, the premise sounds trite: Irene (Audrey Tautou) is the desperate (though not vacuous) gold-digger who mistakes Jean (Gad Elmaleh), the kindly hotel bartender, for another wealthy candidate.
But the well-developed script's interior moves this trite premise beyond the expected, layering the leading characters with sympathetic motivations and the plot with plenty of comic twists.
The film is also wonderfully paced, unfolding carefully to reveal convincing characters and a plausible, while far-fetched, plot. Elmaleh's portrayal of the smitten and unrelenting suitor is magnifique, and (as always) Tautou's charming screen presence is worth the price of admission. Stir into the mix some slapstick and the south of France and you've got a fun 1 hour 44 minutes at the theater.
"Priceless" is playing at the Manlius Art Cinema through Thursday. French with English subtitles.

The official countdown to Signing Day is at 58 days, but Penn State made strides with their 2013 recruiting class by landing three commitments on Sunday.
Penn State hosted numerous recruits this weekend for official visits and Saturday and Sunday were dates Bill O'Brien had circled on his calendar for quite some time. The Nittany Lions' head coach mingled with recruits and their parents at Saturday's men's basketball game and by Sunday morning three more players were on board.
Central Dauphin linebacker Zayd Issah, linebacker Jonathan Walton and cornerback Anthony Smith gave O'Brien their verbal commitments after spending the weekend at Penn State. Issah originally committed to Penn State but then re-opened his commitment once the NCAA's sanctions were announced in July.
Issah was recruited by Larry Johnson and with the three commitments the Lions' 2013 class stands at 16. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker was the most highly-touted player of the three verbal commits and gave O'Brien his word over the likes of Arizona State, Oregon, Boston College, Iowa, Maryland and Pittsburgh.
Walton chose Penn State over Arkansas State, Minnesota, Troy and South Alabama. The Alabama native was recruited by defensive coordinator Ted Roof and gives Penn State three linebackers in the class. Brandon Bell previously gave his verbal commitment to Penn State in June.
The biggest unknown of the entire recruiting class is Smith. The 6-foot-1 cornerback from Valley Forge Military Academy had no other offers from large programs and had interest from schools such as Gardner-Webb, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Central Connecticut State. Linebackers coach Vanderlinden and secondary coach John Butler were responsible for recruiting Smith.
It didn't take long for news to spread about the commitments as other recruits were on Twitter posting congratulatory messages to their new potential teammates. Cedar Cliff tight end Adam Breneman and highly-touted quarterback prospect Christian Hackenberg were both on campus this weekend and offered well wishes to Issah, Walton and Smith.

Chapter framing question: What are the options and consequences for using groundwater in agriculture?"
(contributed documents)
Groundwater will be an enduring gauge of this generation's intelligence in water and land management" (Tushaar Shah, 2001). Groundwater is a secure source of supply and has always been used by most of the economic activities, particularly for urban supply and industrial use. As farmers invest in individual water supply, groundwater becomes a preferred resource option. Asia today uses some 500 m3 of the total 750 m3 of groundwater uses for agriculture. Between 1970 and 1995, the rapid growth of groundwater irrigation in South Asia and the North China plains was at the heart of an agrarian boom. This placed asia's groundwater socio-ecology under siege. Groundwater depletion, pollution and water quality deterioration now causes concerns that are fueled by worries about their environmental consequences. However, equally important concerns are raised by the fact that agrarian economies and millions of rural livelihoods now depend upon groundwater irrigation. In Africa, South and central America groundwater resources are still underdeveloped but are getting a growing interest.
Chapter purpose: To bring the most important messages from the field of groundwater to the water, food and environment communities.
Groundwater is a promising but limited resource. It seems urgent to understand what is happening and its extent. It is why the Comprehensive assessment decided to have a specific synthesis chapter on groundwater use. That chapter aims to address questions such as:
This chapter is prepared by a "groundwater chapter author team" lead by a small writing team (Tushaar Shah, Jake Burke, Karen villvolth) . That team met in India (21-24 February 2005) to review key trends, the state of the art of groundwater use, and key responses to the situation. An extended team is also preparing a synthesis book on groundwater governance in agriculture, that will be a key basis for the CA synthesis chapter. In particular, the workshop identified critical issues - Key messages on groundwater & water management in agriculture. An online discussion inviting a large network of experts from diverse disciplines and background was organised late June.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A loud noise at the Visy Paper Plant in Travis -- initially described as an "explosion" -- startled residents on the borough's West Shore Friday night.
Emergency officials received numerous 911 reports about the noise, believed to be coming from the plant at 4435 Victory Blvd. at approximately 6 p.m.
There were no reports of flames, fire or injuries, and officials later deemed the incident to be "a steam valve popping," according to transmissions.
A worker at the scene told a news photographer it was "a rush of steam," and not an unusual occurrence.
One West Shore resident who phoned the Advance described the noise as steady and loud, and said it sounded more like a "jet" hovering over the area and not an explosion.

Emerging filmmaker and producer Allison White is hoping to bring new contacts and knowledge back to the province from her trip to Los Angeles, Calif., to participate in the Produced By conference. — Submitted photo
"The thing that I'm fearing the most is the thing that I'm looking forward to the most," says Natasha Lawlor, associate producer at Take the Shot Productions, the production company behind "Republic of Doyle."
This June, Lawlor is heading to the Produced By conference in Los Angeles, as part of an entourage of 10 emerging and mid-level television and film producers from Newfoundland and Labrador. The group was hand-selected by the Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corp. (NLFDC), who partnered with Film Nova Scotia to send them, along with 10 producers from Nova Scotia, to the prestigious conference.
In between talks and workshops led by film industry luminaries like Mark Gordon, executive producer of "Grey's Anatomy," and Lynette Howell, producer of "Blue Valentine," Lawlor will sit down with big-time American producers to pitch the second season of "Republic of Doyle" for the American television market.
"I'm terrified!" she says. "But I'll make sure I'm prepared as well as I can be, so that will override the nervousness."
As part of the initiative, the NLFDC has invited Catherine Tait, a consultant and renowned film industry veteran, to come to
St. John's and meet with the group April 18 and 19.
Tait will meet with producers individually to gauge where they are in their careers and discuss projects they hope to pitch to executives in L.A. Then, depending on her assessment, Tait will set up one-on-one or group meetings between the Newfoundland producers and Hollywood producers.
Lawlor, representing a well-established company, is hoping for a successful one-on-one meeting.
Filmmaker and producer Allison White, who is earlier in her career than Lawlor, has slightly different expectations.
"As a pretty green producer, I don't know what kind of meetings I'll get," she says. "If I had the opportunity to pitch to producers in L.A., that would be invaluable. But the idea is that we go down there and we meet people and we learn, and then we bring that knowledge back here, while having helped show people in L.A. that Newfoundland is a place where we make great films."
"Newfoundland is so unique, it's like a pitch in itself," agrees Lawlor. "The fact that it's so far away from L.A. and a completely different place, but we still have crew and the resources here to do these projects — that will definitely speak for itself."

Hi I'm Gregory
About Me
I am 43 and in the "going back to school" phase of my life. My favorite sports to watch are The Tour De France and Golf. When I grow up I will most likely be a family counselor and teach golf. I like to watch other sports like football, baseball, basketball but don't seem to make time for watching them.
Why I am a Mormon
I certainly wasn't expecting to be a Mormon I can tell you that! I really didn't know anything about them but knew "they have to be weird" and "this is not for me." This is the only church on the planet that I know of that has no paid clergy. After all how much money did the early Apostles receive for preaching the gospel? Further I have gained a witness from the Holy Spirit that the teachings of this church are the real deal. What every other church hopes or wants to be this church has.
Personal Stories
Could you talk about your baptism?
I was baptized at the age of 26. . . October 1995. I was far from home living in Los Angeles. The morning of my baptism I told the mother of the family that had introduced me to The Church of Jesus Christ that. . ."I don't want you to get your hopes up. I have been baptized before and nothing is going to change." Her response was "ok" with a cheshire cat's grin. Upon baptism I felt that my ability to discern had immediately gone up. Then upon confirmation. . .or the baptism of fire (the Holy Ghost) or receipt of the Holy Ghost I definitely felt like I was on fire! I felt as though I had just got done working out! My heart was beating quickly and I felt very warm and good. For the next three days I felt wonderful. Then I became concerned that I might get addicted to feeling so great and the feeling left. (boy that was not so bright) Going to church each Sunday gives me that same feeling.
How I live my faith
I am thrilled to attend 3 hours of church every Sunday. It takes a little bit of stamina to build up to. . .but it is totally worth it. I visit 2 families that I am assigned to "watch over" every month hoping that I can teach or be of assistance to them spiritually or in any other way.

To critics of former Newark Mayor Sharpe James, the Rolls-Royce he owned was a symbol of selfishness, if not outright corruption.
Where did he get the money for a luxury vehicle when he'd spent his entire career in government service, including two decades at the helm of a city with more than its share of poverty?
But the car is a detail jurors in James' corruption trial now unfolding in federal court won't be allowed to hear.
"The suggestion of the Rolls-Royce is inflammatory, potentially inflammatory, and that's not this case," U.S. District Judge William Martini said last week, denying an effort by prosecutors to bring up the brand of the car through testimony.
It was just one legal skirmish, but it underscored a continued challenge for prosecutors: how to convince a jury of James' corruption in a complex land-fraud case in which the defense has repeatedly pointed out that not "a dime" is alleged to have flowed into the mayor's own pockets.
Instead, James stands accused of steering cheap, city-owned land to his girlfriend and co-defendant, Tamika Riley, to satisfy his own "personal desires."
Throughout his long career as a powerful mayor and state senator, the Democrat raised eyebrows by amassing yachts, several luxury vehicles and eight properties in three states. Those are familiar details to those who have followed his political career and campaigns. But they are unrelated to the charges against him, and James' fate now rests with a group of jurors who know little of him. Many said during jury selection they don't follow the news closely.
The U.S. Attorney's Office had hoped to paint jurors a portrait of a lavish lifestyle of the former mayor they believed would provide a powerful backdrop for the fraud and conspiracy charges against him.
Initially, the indictment against James included allegations that he bilked the taxpayers by using two city credit cards to pay for $58,000 worth of personal vacations, meals, movie tickets and other entertainment with friends, associates and female companions, including Riley.
But the judge delivered a serious setback to prosecutors when he severed the case, ruling the land charges were the "heart of the case" and should be addressed at an initial trial. He said the credit card allegations, which he said would only serve to confuse jurors, would be dealt with at a second trial.
As a result, prosecutors have often struggled to tease out testimony about James' possessions from witnesses, with only occasional success.
The government found one opening in witness Prentiss Thompson, a member with James in an organization called the "Rainbow Yacht Club," a fact prosecutors needed to establish to show the two men's long association. Prosecutors asked several witnesses about James' yacht and membership in the club.
"Yes, he did have a boat. He had two or three .¤.¤. they were quite large yachts. I remember a 48-foot and I remember a 53-foot," Rose Marie Posella, the mayor's longtime personal secretary, said under questioning from Assistant U.S. Attorney Judith Germano.
The government also may have benefited from an offhand remark during the testimony of Adelino Benavente, a former member of the mayor's security detail.
In the past, when James was chided about the Rolls, he said he worked hard for what he got and there was nothing wrong with him having nice things. As for the yacht, the former mayor would answer critics by saying it wasn't a yacht to him, it was more like a boat. As both mayor and state senator, James earned about $235,000 a year.
At the trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Perry Primavera asked Benavente if the mayor had a yacht or a boat, and what the difference was. "To me, a yacht is something I definitely can't afford," the police officer responded, drawing a rare burst of laughter from the jury.
But prosecutors have been less fortunate in eliciting details about a shore house James once owned in Bayville.
"What kind of home was that?" Germano, the prosecutor, asked another police bodyguard, Robert Moore.
"A shore home, summer home. I don't know," he said, with no further description of the waterfront home James sold for $825,000 in 2005.
Often, prosecutors have been thwarted in bringing up details of the mayor's assets by defense attorneys, as in the case of the Rolls-Royce, which James allegedly brought along on a trip with Riley to Sag Harbor, Long Island, in July 2004.
When another police bodyguard on the trip took the stand, Germano asked him the make of the car, but defense attorneys objected. The issue was hashed out in a sidebar conference, out of the jury's earshot. Thomas Ashley, James' lead attorney, argued it was "very prejudicial" and irrelevant to the government's case.
"If it were a Ford, if it were a Chevy, it wouldn't matter, judge," Ashley said. "The whole idea of getting before the jury that Sharpe James had a Rolls-Royce is to have the suggestion that he's a politician, drives a Rolls-Royce, and how did he get a Rolls-Royce?"
Martini asked why it mattered, and prosecutors said it was relevant as they try to establish James and Riley had a romantic affair, which they said motivated him to rig city land deals for her.
"It goes to the personal nature of this trip, that this was not just a city trip with city vehicles, but he specifically had his personal car out there," Germano said.
The judge was unconvinced, allowing prosecutors only to establish that James took his "personal car" on the trip.
"In my mind, there's no need to bring out the Rolls-Royce," he said, adding, that "may be the next case."
Jurors in James' federal corruption trial had yesterday off and Martini also gave the group Friday off in observance of Good Friday. The trial in Newark resumes today.
