Lincoln School teacher aide Netta Meltzer has been holding events in North Bergen for special kids (and even for special needs adults) for more than two decades.
Over the years, Meltzer has developed an annual holiday party for special needs children, a party in January for the adults, as well as a Wednesday program and a summer camp for the kids.
"I love people but I love children," said Meltzer. "I love them and they love me."
Party time
The annual Holiday Party was held last Wednesday, Dec. 12, with 333 special people of all ages in attendance. The party has been a tradition for 28 years.
"There's no age limit on a special child," said Meltzer in an interview.
Meltzer thanked Mayor Nicholas Sacco for his support. She also acknowledged Commissioner Hugo Cabrera, who helped set up the party.
Each guest got a gift and was treated to a visit by Santa Claus, a DJ, and pizza. The gifts varied from a scooter to battery operated toy cars.
Meltzer uses a bus provided by Sacco to get the gifts, which filled up two and half rooms in her home. Not all gifts are dispersed for the holiday party, as some will be given away at the annual party in January for special needs people over 21. For that party, Melzer will pick up the guests door to door and transport them to a winter wonderland.
"That's what this is all about, just to see the smiles on their faces." - Netta Meltzer
"Once they're out of the school system, that's it. They're on their own. It's like they're gone," said volunteer Dorothy Oms.
Those who joined in on holiday cheer included the township's Director of Special Education Coordinator Robert Kornberg, Anti-Bullying Coordinator John Belluardo, Police Chief Robert Dowd, Commissioner Hugo Cabrera, and Mayor Sacco.
Wednesday nights are devoted to the special needs children. Outings vary from watching a movie, watching wrestling, or simply eating together. The programs began with three children and currently has 25.
"It gives people something to look forward to each week to be in a circle of friends," said volunteer Jackie Elwood. "It's like a family on Wednesday. These kids need something that's all their own."
Another program is summer camp, which lasts five weeks and begins the end of June. Campers go to out trips, go swimming, and play games. This past year 97 special needs children attended the program.
"The people that come to her programs, they're so enthusiastic and their happy to be there," said Oms. "No other town has a program like this."
An adult's passing
A special needs child recently passed away, and for a proper sendoff, Meltzer had a mass in her honor.
She is also helping out two struggling families with money that was raised from $5 photos with Santa at the holiday party.
"She's got one of the biggest hearts ever," said Oms. "She does so much more beyond these programs."
"Netta has dedicated her life the past 25 to 30 years to these programs and she deserves so much gratitude," said Elwood. "She's a phenomenal person."
Volunteers are a crucial component to the special needs initiative. Some of them are Doris Sanchez and Debby Solomon.
Oms got involved because of her brother Joseph Maccagnano, 46, who has Down Syndrome, which is the most common chromosome abnormality. Maccagnano does not miss an event and carries a guitar given to him at last year's Christmas party everywhere he goes.
"My family has noticed such a big difference in my brother since he's been in her program. He's more outgoing," said Oms.
Elwood has been working alongside Meltzer at Lincoln School and been a volunteer for 10 years.
"Over the years we've become a family," said Elwood.
But the grand event that helps raise money is "Netta's Auction," which takes place in April to fund events year round. She accepts donations for the event.

Huskers Open Pinnacle Bank Arena with UCLA
Lincoln - The Nebraska women's basketball team will celebrate the opening of the new Pinnacle Bank Arena with an NCAA Tournament-caliber home opener against UCLA on Friday, Nov. 8.
In the first regular-season basketball game to ever be played at Nebraska's new downtown arena, tip time between the Huskers and Bruins will be at noon as part of a special women's and men's basketball day-night season-opening doubleheader. The Nebraska men will take on 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 qualifier Florida Gulf Coast the same evening.
Season tickets for Nebraska women's basketball are on sale now at Huskers.com/arena. Reserved season tickets are just $160 for adults, while adult general admission season tickets are just $80 for the Huskers' 18 regular-season home games and two exhibition games.
As part of the festivities planned for the game between the Huskers and Bruins, Nebraska Athletics has partnered with Lincoln Public Schools and several other surrounding communities for the "Invest 2 Be The Best" pep rally.
Approximately 5,000 area middle school students are expected to gather at Pinnacle Bank Arena before the game to hear inspirational life skills and academic messages from Husker student-athletes and staff.
"The interest level and enthusiasm from school administrators in Lincoln and nearby communities for the 'Invest 2 Be The Best' pep rally has been very strong," Nebraska Associate Athletic Director for Life Skills Keith Zimmer said. "Through music and other entertainment, students and staff will be encouraged to discover unique talents, get involved in their communities and strive to be multi-dimensional. It promises to be a memorable morning and afternoon, not only to be inspired at the pep rally but to enjoy a marquee women's basketball game at the new arena."
Nebraska Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm said the NCAA Tournament-level of competition and the life skills event will help provide an exciting atmosphere for the arena's opening.
"We're thrilled with the caliber of competition our teams will face on opening day and night at Pinnacle Bank Arena," Boehm said. "With school-record record season-opening crowds for both the men and women promising to be on hand for NCAA Tournament-caliber basketball teams, we think we will set the tone for a memorable first season at the new arena."
Coach Connie Yori and the Husker women, who advanced to the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 and finished with a 25-9 overall record, will take on a Bruin team that advanced to the second round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. The Bruins posted a 26-8 overall mark that included a 14-4 record and a third-place finish in the Pac-12.
"UCLA was an exceptionally talented team last year, and they will be again this season," Yori said. "We are expecting a great game. We're excited they agreed to come to Lincoln, and we look forward to a return trip to Los Angeles next year."
Nebraska finished No. 16 in the final official NCAA RPI and was the Big Ten regular-season runner-up with a 12-4 conference mark. The Bruins closed the year at No. 15 in the NCAA RPI, before having their season end with a loss to Oklahoma in Columbus, Ohio.
The game will mark the sixth-ever meeting between the Huskers and Bruins. Most recently, Nebraska knocked off UCLA in the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minn. The Huskers defeated the Bruins, 83-70, on March 23, 2010 to advance to their first NCAA Sweet 16. The Bruins won the first four meetings in the series, including a 72-63 win over NU at the Devaney Center on Feb. 3, 1979, in their only previous trip to Lincoln.
Nebraska Women's basketball season tickets have reached all-time highs with more than 2,600 season tickets sold as of June 18. The Huskers have sold approximately 500 new season tickets for 2013-14, and that number has continued to grow since tickets went on sale May 8.
The Husker women's opener with UCLA promises to provide not only the largest season-opening crowd in school history, but the largest crowd to ever watch a home non-conference game in the history of Nebraska women's basketball.
The game between Nebraska and UCLA also will be televised live statewide by NET-HD.

Luther lost a hard-fought 69-76 decision to Wartburg College this afternoon in the Regents Center.
Wartburg led 35-33 at halftime and extended their lead by as many as 14 with just over eight minutes remaining in the second stanza. The Norse battled back and pulled to within four (66-70), but it proved to be as close as the Norse would get to the Knights the rest of way.
John Androus once again paced the Norse offensive attack producing a double-double scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 rebounds, both game highs. Jake Martin (13), Cale Austin (12) and Aaron Huber (11) completed the list of double digit scorers.
Wartburg was led the Thomas Perkins 16-point effort. Eddie Diemer, who led the Knights with five assists, tallied 13, while Taylor Jacobsmeier chipped in 12.
The loss drops Luther's Iowa Conference record to 0-2, 8-5 overall. Wartburg leveled its league record to 1-1, 7-6 overall.
The Norse will travel to University of Dubuque on Wednesday, Jan. 15 for a game scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m.

BOULDER -- A $500,000 bond has been set for Ronald Turner Sr., the man suspected of helping his son kidnap his grandson in Longmont and travel to Canada.
Turner, 72, was returned from Missouri to Boulder County on Monday afternoon and made his first court appearance Tuesday at the Boulder County Jail. Charges are set to be filed at 2 p.m. Thursday and are expected to include complicity to commit kidnapping.
He had initially been held in Missouri on a $100,000 bond. Prosecutors asked for the higher bond Tuesday, saying they had evidence that Turner had met with his son, Monty Turner, at a Brighton gas station six hours before the kidnapping and then again at a Safeway in Longmont shortly after the incident.
Public defender Kristin Johnson argued that $100,000 would be sufficient, especially given Ronald Turner's age and lack of criminal history. Judge John Stavely ruled to increase the bond "at this time."
According to police, Monty Turner forced his way into the Longmont home of his estranged wife, Brandy Turner, on May 25 and took their 3-year-old son, Luke. Authorities arrested Monty Turner the next day at a motel in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, and Luke was returned to his mother two days later.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol arrested Turner on May 26 in Vernon County, Mo. Troopers stopped the car he was driving because it was listed in the Amber Alert for his grandson. Missouri troopers said the grandfather denied involvement in the kidnapping at his arrest, but that children's toys were found with the car.
According to authorities, Monty Turner also had disappeared with the boy last July when he did not return as scheduled from a planned camping trip. Police found the two at a Washington County property in March, hiding under some carpeting in a box truck. Prosecutors said Tuesday that they suspect Ronald Turner was an accessory in that disappearance.
Under the bond conditions, Ronald Turner may not have contact with his son or grandson, or with Brandy Turner.
Because the public defender's office is representing Monty Turner, an attorney for Ronald Turner will be appointed from the Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel to avoid a conflict of interest.

The recipe for the beachy burger joint's renowned burger — the unrivaled bread and butter of Bareback — has traveled more than 7,000 miles to land in the hands of Pacific Beach locals who ravenously savor every last bite of the sumptuous organic beef, fresh Australian lamb or all-natural chicken burgers oozing with sweet, spicy or savory homemade sauces.
Bareback Grill owners Matt Baker and P.J. Lamont traveled to New Zealand eight years ago when they stumbled upon a back-alley burger pub holding a goldmine of the most juicy, flavorful burgers the duo had ever come across.
"They [Baker and Lamont] were backpacking and they stopped by a place called Fergburger," said general manager Kyle Anderson. "They ended up liking it so much that they worked there for a couple days. They pay them a due every year to use the recipes they learned and brought back in their backpack."
Some of the top burger sellers are the Bare Lil Lamb — a fresh 100 percent-natural ground Australian lamb burger topped with blue cheese crumbles, mint dressing, beetroot, aioli and the house-made BBQ sauce — and the Queenstown Fave — an organic grass-fed beef burger dressed with aioli, Edam cheese and the same famous BB! sauce, a sweet tomato chutney that far exceeds the comparatively ordinary flavor of plain old ketchup.
"We're definitely known for our organic beef," said Anderson. "But because it's a New Zealand-themed bar, we also get a lot of orders for lamb."
Both are topped with locally baked artisan buns and can be served alongside hot, crispy sweet-potato fries topped with blue cheese crumbles or Bareback's signature shoestring fries seasoned uniquely with a sweet, slightly spicy flavor, and served alongside more house-made sauces, like the roasted red pepper and wasabi aiolis.
To wash down the well-rounded game-day meal, take a peek behind the wooden bar top for a list of what is freshly on tap for the day, including craft cocktails, local draft brews and Australian and New Zealand-imported wines.
"On game day, we run $10 pitchers of Bud Light and the house Bareback amber, our signature craft brew that Pyramid Brewing makes just for us," said Anderson.
For the more daring patron, try one of the "Serious Cocktails" on the menu, like the Dark 'n' Stormy, a unique mix of Goslings black rum, ginger beer and lime, or the Bacon Bloody, a spicy Ballast Point Bloody Mary mix flavored with — you guessed it — a thick, juicy strip of bacon.
For a playoff experience away from the "see-and-be-seen" sports hotspots, try the kiwi-inspired getaway at 4640 Mission Blvd. For more information, visit www.barebackgrill.com/pacificbeach or call (858) 247-7117.

Els Enfarinats Festival Celebrated With Flour Fight In Ibi
A Reveller poses after taking part in the battle of 'Enfarinats', a flour fight in celebration of the Els Enfarinats festival in Ibi, Spain. Citizens of Ibi annually celebrate the festival with a battle using flour, eggs and firecrackers. The battle takes place between two groups, a group of married men called 'Els Enfarinats' which take the control of the village for one day pronouncing a whole of ridiculous laws and fining the citizens that infringe them and a group called 'La Oposicio' which try to restore order. At the end of the day the money collected from the fines is donated to charitable causes in the village. The festival has been celebrated since 1981 after the town of Ibi recovered the tradition but the origins remain unknown.

A poet and editor of BOMB magazine living in Brooklyn, Monica de la Torre was born in Mexico City. Her poem "Olimpicamente" is told in the voice of the Mexican taekwondo champion Maria del Rosario Espinoza, who was born in the village of La Brecha, in the state of Sinaloa, where her father was a fisherman. Though of limited means, her parents supported her passion for taekwondo, and in 2008 Espinoza fought her way to a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics. "I am," says the poet, "dumbfounded and positively moved by Maria del Rosario's improbable story."
Taekwondo was originally a Korean martial art, which inspired de la Torre to base her poem loosely on the three-line Korean poetic form, the sijo." 'Olimpicamente' is comprised of six linked sijos," she explains. "I saw a correspondence between the punching, kicking and parrying of a taekwondo practitioner and the way a sijo moves, apparently going in one direction but then taking an unexpected turn in the last line."
"In Mexico," says de la Torre, explaining her poem's title, "when someone does something brazen, we say the person behaved 'olimpicamente' — literally, and pardon the neologism, 'olympically.' The connotations of the term aren't necessarily positive, but by using it as the title of the poem, I wanted to put the type of behavior it refers to in a positive light. Had Maria del Rosario done everything social conventions dictated she do, she wouldn't be the flag bearer for the Mexican delegation at the London Olympics. Sijos were originally meant to be sung. I think of 'Olimpicamente' as a Korean-inflected Mexican corrido, telling the deeds of a revered and exemplary heroine."
Let's go now to this morning's entry in our Poetry Games.
MONTAGNE: MORNING EDITION's Poetry Olympics pits poet against poet to compete for your vote. Five poets from around the world have written poems to celebrate the real Olympics and the athletes at the heart of the Games. One of those athletes is from a small town in Mexico.
Maria Espinoza's sport is Taekwondo. She took home the gold at the Beijing Olympics, and she's competing once again in London. For our Poetry Games, Maria Espinoza is being regaled in verse by poet Monica de la Torre. De la Torre wrote her poem, "Olimpicamente," from the athlete's point of view.
MONICA DE LA TORRE: (Reading) "Olimpicamente." It was my feet. They were oversized for my age, restless and strong enough to do more than pick fruit or sell fish. For kicks, in my hometown of 2,000, I tried taekwondo. I was five. The neighbors, they thought of me as marimacha. Women around me were tough, but they were no tomboys.
Dad, a fisherman by trade, was undeterred. He's good at cultivating. He and I, we're driven people, the kind that looks beyond the horizon - westward and eastward in step. Hence we outgrew the dirt roads of La Brecha - The Gap - in Sinaloa. Did I choose the art? Was it the art that chose me?
But for a white uniform, I had the essentials. This was my calling: self-defense for which you needed no arms, only fists - rock solid. And limber limbs and a feistiness not antagonistic. Think dealing blows, so less blows are dealt - aiming to stop the fight, but not destroy your rival, your equal. Where I am from, some folks do things differently. My way's the way of the hand and foot, and unity of purpose. On the tatami, I write their bodily calligraphy.
MONTAGNE: The poem is "Olimpicamente." Representing Mexico, poet Monica de la Torre. Tomorrow, a poet from Slovenia offers an ode to Olympic diver Greg Louganis. You can hear all the poems entered into the MORNING EDITION Poetry Games at npr.org, and vote for your favorite. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

TRAINING: A typical day of training day consists of hard sparring or grappling and a run or a swim.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I've always been into fighting since I can remember. I watched my first MMA event my sophomore year of high school and that's when I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
What ranks and titles have you held? I am a purple belt in BJJ and an orange belt in judo. I won some amateur titles in fighting, but all that doesn't matter; all that matters is that I will be the 145 pound champ of the UFC. I don't care if they have a darker belt or more trophies and medals, I am going to be the one at the top beating everyone up.
Do you have any heroes? My Family and my Friends are my heroes. Also, people who try and better this world and help those around them. There are too many greedy people in this world; that's what I feel is ruining our economy
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means there are going to be a lot of people watching my fight live and on TV and I have to put on a damn good show for all of them. To me, it's really just a big fight. I have had a few big fights now and I never feel like they are my only chance, because I'm still young and I'm not going anywhere. I will be fighting until I'm too old to fight because fighting is what I love to do.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I went to Fight University, the school of Hard Knocks and got a degree in kicking ass. I never made it to college – I thought it was a waste of money; way too much for an education I can learn for free.
What was your job before you started fighting? Commercial fishing is what I have done most of my life but I have had a million jobs in my life. My parents taught me very young that if I want something I have to work for it.
Favorite grappling technique: Armbar - just kidding – it's the McKenzietine
Favorite striking technique: High kick

After a public hearing and first reading of four zoning ordinances, the Oak Ridge City Council approved the rezoning of two properties to make way for possible new businesses.
After a public hearing and first reading of four zoning ordinances, the Oak Ridge City Council approved the rezoning of two properties to make way for possible new businesses.
The first two ordinances involved Phase II of the Woodland Town Center and the other two are connected to property in west Oak Ridge near Fire Station No. 1 and across from West Lincoln Road.
Community Development Director Katherine Baldwin said three tracts of land opposite the new Panera Bread and Aubrey's restaurant should be rezoned from Planned Unit Development to a Unified General Business so the next phase of the Woodland Town Center can go forward.
Panera Bread and Aubrey's opened last fall as part of Phase I of the Woodland Town Center. Plans for Phase II began soon after.
Phase II is to include an Aldi's grocery store.
Land owner partners Walter Wise and T.K. Wheeler, as well as a representative of Aldi's, attended the recent special-called meeting.
Council voted 7-0 to approve the rezoning.
Council approved a resolution to adopt the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Economic Impact Plan for the South Illinois Avenue Economic Development Area, which includes the Woodland Town Center, in 2012.
In the other ordinance rezoning, Council member Chuck Hope abstained from voting. His business, Chuck's Car Care, is in the shopping center across from West Lincoln Road, where the new proposed retail store is planned.
The Planning Commission recommended the rezoning of the 1.16-acre portion of a parcel at 2095 Oak Ridge Turnpike between the parking area of Chuck's Car Care and Station No. 1.
Baldwin told Council the proposed business is "a retail store most folks are familiar with and will serve the west end.
"I'm not willing to tell you who it is," she said, when asked about the name of the business. She said the company was not ready to reveal that information.
"I'd like to know," Mayor Tom Beehan said, adding he'd like to know what he's voting for.
Baldwin was also questioned about the flood fringe associated with the property and also the proposed access road. She handed out a "joint access document" earlier, which was prepared from Planning Commission information.

Hey, here is my mag. I can finaly get it up. I am going to send it in for a upgrade soon.
Nice paintjob huh
Try this...
You kept putting just the directory name, and forgetting the actual graphic file name. it is MyAutoMag.jpg
Why didn't it work for me?
You kept posting the image location without the actual image file. Your URL only pointed to the directory it was IN, and when you go to that location it pulls the picture up ONLY because the INDEX file for that directory contains the picture in it.
When posting the picture you can not post the HTML file (which is what is being posted when you only go as far as listing the directory), your URL for the image MUST contain the actual image file as the last part of the location.
I hope this helps.
You kept using this....

SPOILER WARNING: This entire post is a giant spoiler for the Battlestar Galactica Season 5 4.5 finale, so I've tucked it behind the fold.
Battlestar Galactica ended with a bit of an anti-technology whimper. Humans and Cylons alike tossed their Vipers and their antibiotics into the sun in exchange for a new start. Alongside pre-speech humans, space warriors scattered over Earth, hunting and gathering and farming their way into our own glorious future.
But what was the Earth of 150,000 years ago really like? What was the climate like in Tanzania (where Adama mopes in his cabin) and Britain (where the Chief mopes in exile)? What giant predators might Lee encounter as he explores? And what is mitrochondrial Eve, anyway?
150,000 years ago, the Earth was in the midst of the the Pleistocene Epoch. The continents were in about the same positions and many of the same plants and animals were doing their thing. But the climate was wildly different. Glaciers rose and retreated and rose and retreated, changing the world's ecosystems each time. And 150,000 years ago was the maximum of the second-to-last, or penultimate, Pleistocene glaciation. (The final glaciation is the one we think of as the Ice Age, that ended only 10,000 years ago.)
Because of the penultimate glaciation, the African climate was colder and drier than today. North Africa was probably still desert and central Africa a grassland. But the biggest different is in Europe – southern Europe was a chilly steppe and Britain may well have been frozen under the Munsterian glacier. The Chief's self-imposed exile may be even colder and more exile-y than he thought, what with starving on top of a giant pile of ice. Maybe he's really in exile on the Canary Islands?
The Pleistocene is also known for vast herds of giant mega scary mammals. And it seems like most of these would have been around to eat or be eaten by the Galactica survivors. The steppe mammoth and the European jaguar roamed southern Europe, while the Americas were covered in direwolves and giant sloths and 10-foot tall short-nosed bears. African animals, which were least affected by the late Pleistocene extinctions, would have looked relatively similar to today. Which is to say that they were big and hungry and scary.
What about Hera as the mitochondial Eve, the mother of us all? That is a real biological concept, nicely explained by Peggy over at Biology in Science Fiction:
Unlike the chromosomal DNA which we inherit equally from both parents, our mitochondria are inherited only from our mothers. That means that geneticists can use the sequence of our mitochondrial DNA to follow maternal inheritance2. They followed this back for many many generations, until they arrived at the most recent woman who is the ancestor of all presently living humans. She is "Mitochondrial Eve" and she lived roughly 150,000 – 200,000 years ago….
She's not our most recent common ancestor or even our only common ancestor. She's not the only woman who was living at the time. She may not be the our common ancestor for chromosome 1 or 7 or 20.
So, 150,000 years ago, Tanzania was pleasant (unless you got eaten or trampled), the Chief was probably not in Britain (unless he was living on a glacier), Lee should have explored the supercool sloth-ridden Americas (until he got eaten or trampled), and Ed Yong's theory of Starbuck's demise is reasonably likely:
Perhaps when Lee turned his head, Kara was quietly eaten and carried away by a leopard.
And in fact, the Galactica survivors may not have survived very long at all. According to mitochondrial genetic evidence, humans almost went extinct 150,000 years ago. The population could have been as small as 2,000 individuals – so not only might the Galactica survivors have killed most of the primitive humans, but they subsequently died off themselves.
Welcome to 150,000 years ago! Please enjoy your nasty, brutish, and short stay here in Pleistocene Earth. Though I would love to ride magnificently about on a giant ground sloth, I'd really rather have modern medical care and the internet.

BOSTON -- Chances are slim that the state Legislature will pass a bill in 2013 guaranteeing the same taxpayer-funded legal representation for law-abiding residents that convicted murderer Michelle Kosilek is going to receive.
But that's not the point, said Billerica state Rep. Marc Lombardo, who is co-sponsoring a bill with fellow Republican Rep. James Lyons of Andover that is raising eyebrows.
The goal of their proposal is simple -- to point out the "absurdity of having taxpayers foot the $724,000 legal bill racked up by a convicted, vicious wife-killer who wants to force the state to pay for his sex-change operation."
Lombardo, of course, is referring to Kosilek.
In September, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf ruled in favor of Kosilek's appeal, reversing an earlier lower-court ruling. Kosilek had sued the state Department of Correction in an effort to force the state to pay for a sex-change operation.
Kosilek changed her first name from Robert to Michelle three years after the 1990 strangulation murder of his then-wife, Cheryl McCaul.
In supporting Kosilek's suit, Wolf found fault in the lower court's decision against funding the operation since it "was based on fear of criticism and controversy, articulated at times as a concern about cost to the taxpayer."
In addition, Wolf ruled in September that the state is likely on the hook to pay Kosilek's legal bills.
Last month, Wolf made it official, saying taxpayers must pick up the entire $724,000 tab for the decade-long legal battle.
Lyons said he knows full well that people will think his proposal is crazy, but added that "what's crazy is the fact we're paying the legal benefits of a convicted wife-killing murderer to the tune of $700,000."
"If there's money lying around to fund this, then where's the money to take care of our own law-abiding citizens?" he asked.
Paul Craney, executive director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, said Wednesday that Lyons and Lombardo "seem to have struck a rich nerve," and that their proposal "highlights the wasteful spending on Beacon Hill of our tax dollars."
"They are proving that for some on Beacon Hill, our money just isn't that real to them," Craney said.
Barbara Anderson, executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation, said she "loves the sarcasm."
Anderson knows what it's like to file a bill just to prove a point.
In 2000, the anti-tax crusader said she was tired of hearing the response, "I don't mind paying more," from the pro-taxation crowd. Her organization filed a bill in the House of Representatives to create a new checkbox on income-tax returns giving Bay Staters the option of paying more taxes if they choose to.
The voluntary-tax bill was approved and now appears on all state income-tax forms.
"We filed that to be sarcastic," she said. "Sometimes, with all of the noise, you have to find a way to bring attention to an issue, and I think this is a great way to do it."
The people who think about the Lyons/Lombardo proposal literally and wonder if the state can afford it "just don't get it," Anderson noted.
Lombardo said it was "the absurdity of it all" that drove him to join Lyons in drafting the bill.
"Clearly, we're trying to make a profound point about the absurdity of innocent taxpayers being told to fund the appeal of a convicted murderer," Lyons said.

Melton Was Great Recruiter, Real Character
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
The most successful Big Ten Conference coach in Rose Bowl history had a recent knee replacement. Despite being dramatically limited in terms of mobility, he was making arrangements late Monday afternoon to fly privately to Lincoln. He refuses to miss Wednesday's visitation and Thursday's funeral for one of the most important people in his life … the man who convinced him that Arizona State, Virginia, West Virginia and Wake Forest were good schools, but they were no place like Nebraska.
"John Melton was not a great football mind, but he was a great recruiter and a real character," Barry Alvarez said in a telephone conversation. "He wasn't a head coach, but he was one of college football's most loyal assistants. Don't get me wrong. He understood the game and knew how to make adjustments during the game. But his best strength, by far, was recruiting. He recruited so many great players, and they all loved him, partly because he was such a character."
Count Alvarez as the captain of that camp of players after Melton recruited him from the same high school he graduated from in Burgettstown, Pa. Melton was a member of Bob Devaney's staff at the time and like his Irish boss, "John always had a one-liner that could crack you up," Alvarez said. "That's why everyone wanted to watch film when he was giving his analysis. He would tell you what happened, but he would make you laugh every time you took the time to watch."
Melton Had the Ability to Laugh at Himself
Melton died unexpectedly and suddenly Saturday while working in his backyard in Eagle, Neb. He was 86, but his sense of humor made him seem younger. Nebraska Athletic Director Emeritus Tom Osborne always has appreciated Melton's ability to laugh at himself, and Alvarez is another big fan of his self-deprecating personality.
"Recruiting was different back in the '60s," Alvarez said. "Coach Melton came to see me and my parents in Pennsylvania the day after Nebraska played in the Orange Bowl. I was just getting out of basketball practice, and a bunch of big snowflakes were coming down. John shivered when he met me and said he forgot how cold it was in Burgettstown. I told him: 'Coach, the temperature is 32 degrees. That's why I'm wearing a light jacket. You mean, it doesn't get cold like this in Nebraska?'"
Alvarez will never forget Melton's comeback. "It gets cold sometimes," he told Alvarez. "But in Nebraska, it's a dry kind of cold, not a wet kind of cold."
Alvarez became an All-Big Eight linebacker for the Huskers in 1968, a season when the Blackshirts led the nation in total defense. He laughs out loud just thinking about the characters recruited by a character himself. "I mean, John recruited (All-America end) Tony Jeter and (running back) Harry 'Light Horse' Wilson," Alvarez pointed out. "He recruited all those players from Green Bay that played on Bob's national championship teams – Jerry Tagge, Dave Mason, Jim Anderson and Dennis Gutzman.
Melton Recruited Iowa with Amazing Results
"John owned Iowa when he was recruiting for Devaney," Alvarez said. "Everyone wanted Roger Craig and Jamie Williams, but John was the one who got their signatures. He was the one who recruited Scott Raridon and Steve McWhirter. He was one of those guys who could list all the positives of Nebraska, and after he did it, he could make you feel something without saying it. He could make you feel like if you didn't choose Nebraska, you'd be a fool."
Alvarez remembers how fiery Melton could be as a coach, and, according to Osborne, it didn't make any difference what the score was. Nebraska could be 40 points ahead, and Melton would still get fired up like the Huskers were behind. Jim Ross was the first assistant to follow Devaney from Wyoming to Lincoln, and Melton was the second. Carl Selmer and Mike Corgan stayed in Laramie to see if either might follow Lloyd Eaton at Wyoming as head coach. They did not, so they joined Devaney's staff in Lincoln. Devaney also retained Clete Fischer and George Kelly from the existing staff after Bill Jennings was fired, and his last two hires were two graduate assistants - Dallas Dyer and Osborne.
"Nebraska had a lot of excellent coaches, and it's always sad to see them go," Alvarez said. "Bob's gone, Mike's gone, Clete's gone, George is gone, Jim's gone and now John's gone. Those guys helped put Nebraska football on the map. They're all important parts of Nebraska history. They worked together, laughed together and won together."
Laughter: Melton's Ultimate Sign of Respect
About five years ago, Burgettstown was celebrating a state championship football team and asked Melton to be the featured speaker. Alvarez arranged for private flights to accommodate that request. "John had the whole room laughing and thoroughly entertained," said Alvarez, who also invited Melton and Margie, his widow, as personal guests for the Nebraska-Wisconsin game in 2011 in Madison. At a luncheon on the Friday before the nationally televised night game, Wisconsin's Hall of Fame football coach/athletic director introduced Melton to a large room full of Badger fans. Alvarez also allowed the emcee to show a film of him intercepting a pass against Wisconsin when he was a linebacker at Nebraska playing for Melton.
Melton told the emcee it was an easy play for the announcer to describe his runback on that interception. "Alvarez intercepts the ball. He's at the 40, the 39, the 38," Alvarez said, laughing. "John was an intense guy, but a funny guy and a creative guy. He always had people laughing."
Melton's funeral will be Thursday at 11 a.m. at First Plymouth Church in Lincoln. Poignant memories will be shared, tears will be shed and laughter will be an important sign of respect to honor Melton's memory. He was, after all, a man who truly felt that a day without laughter was a day wasted.

Many things the September flood destroyed or erased will be fixed or replaced, if they haven't been already. But others are gone forever.
To that second list, add the gravel-and-brick labyrinth outside the Boulder Public Library.
Those strolling the west side of the creek at 1001 Arapahoe Ave. now see, where the labyrinth once enhanced visitors' quest for quiet reflection or meditation, nothing but a swath of gravel and the occasional piece of brick where floodwaters raged.
The labyrinth, installed in 2007 by George Peters and Melanie Walker of Boulder's Airworks Studio, will not be replaced.
"When we built it, the city parks and rec department said, 'You know, this is a flood zone,'" Peters recalled Friday. "And there's been a few other floods over the years. But this one kind of swept the whole place clean."
City spokeswoman Jennifer Bray, who said the labyrinth was not only designed and installed, but also maintained for the Parks and Recreation Department by Peters and Walker, said, "It's kind of sad that it was destroyed, and that they're not putting it back in."
Sad? Yes and no, Peters said of his own work's demise.
"It's nice to have things not stay so long, because (when they do), they become invisible," he said. "When you have temporal sculptures, it becomes memory and story. People start talking about them, and it's a whole other dimension. They take on a whole other life. History is changed, by fictional accounts."
Peters said he and Walker, his common-law wife, went down to the labyrinth area each day during the September flood to check on its status. It was clearly going from bad to worse.
"When we went down and saw the height and then the speed of the water through that area, it was just amazing," Peters said. "I had never seen anything like that along Boulder Creek, Tuesday to Friday (of the storm). I think Friday we decided, 'That's the end of that.'"
Peters designed the labyrinth, which he called "Meander and Meet," himself. As if still getting used to the idea of its destruction, he alternated between speaking of it in past and present tense.
"It was just using the idea of a walking puzzle, a walking labyrinth," he said, "and it's unusual because it was one path that enters, and goes to the center, and spirals out in another path. So it's a continuous walk, instead of just walking to the center and then trying to find your way back the same way.
"It was unique. There was no other labyrinth like that one."
He never tired of going to the creek and seeing people of all ages enjoying the space, each in their own way.
"We had been maintaining it, weeding it and edging it, and keeping it up to standards that the parks and rec department wanted, and for ourselves, too," Peters said. "Each time we went there, there would always be somebody walking around it, which was nice.
"People came to us and thanked us for maintaining it. They didn't know we were also the actual makers."
About half the bricks, which edged the gravel paths, have been recovered by Peters and Walker, either to be used in other projects, or recycled through ReSource Boulder. The rest are simply gone, claimed by the flood.
And with them, a place to discover and savor the quiet that Peters believes is missing in so many people's lives also has passed into memory.
There is this consolation, Peters said: "It's still on Google Earth."

LOS ANGELES — Walt Disney Co. will stop letting disabled people go to the front of the line at its U.S. parks, in part because some people were abusing the program.
Under the new plan, guests with disabilities will receive appointments based on current waiting times for rides, according to the company.
"We are changing our process to create a more consistent experience for all our guests while providing accommodations for guests with disabilities," Kathleen Prihoda, a spokeswoman for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., said in a statement. "We engaged disability groups, such as Autism Speaks, to develop this new process, which is in line with the rest of our industry."
The changes at Disney, the world's largest theme-park operator, were partly motivated by abuse of the system, according to Prihoda. The "Guest Assistance Card" program that sent disabled guests to the front of attractions at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and Walt Disney World will be replaced on Oct. 9.
The change was reported earlier by the Orange County Register in Southern California. The New York Post reported in May that some wealthy parents from Manhattan were hiring disabled people to pose as family members to get to the front of the line.
Disney, based in Burbank, Calif., fell 0.4 percent to $64.75 at the close in New York. The shares have advanced 30 percent this year.

The key pitch of the night was to Youkilis with one out and the bases loaded in the sixth. DiNardo's 3-1 pitch was up and away -- which should have brought in a run, making it 2-1 and leaving the sacks loaded for Lowell -- but it was called a strike. Yook lined the next pitch to third, and Pedroia had to hit the dirt between first and second to avoid his shattered bat and was easily doubled off first. Inning over.
The Red Sox have a season-high three-game losing streak. Toronto scored six times in the bottom of the ninth to beat Tampa, 12-11, and close to within 9 GB.
Daisuke Matsuzaka (4.83, 93 ERA+) / Lenny DiNardo (1.80, 239 ERA+)
DiNardo threw the ball well -- 5.1 innings, four hits, two walks, three strikeouts, one unearned run -- on Wednesday against the Rangers but made one of two Oakland fielding miscues in the sixth inning, allowing the Rangers to score three unearned runs on the way to a 4-0 victory. It was DiNardo's first big-league start since Sept. 14, 2006 -- when he was with the Red Sox.

Question: Why is U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly of Butler voting with the radical tea party who, along with him, caused the shutdown of the federal government and who embrace the ultimate craziness — default on the federal debt later this month?
It's bad enough that they precipitated an artificial crisis that has put people out of work and made it hard for a lot of people — people who need their paychecks to pay their bills and buy food.
And for what? Because they don't like the president. Plus they don't think people should have health insurance.
Kelly doesn't care about the working people or people who need help to get by. Why should he care? He's a millionaire and gets his health insurance through the government.
It is no surprise that when he became Butler's congressman that he would vote for everything his party asked him to. His voting record proves that.
Kelly is going along with the crazy radical tea party in a leap off the cliff because he is one of them. When he ran for office, he had a rally with the tea party people.
The people of Butler County deserve better. Congressman Kelly is not one of us.

TORONTO (Video)— It will be "a while" before the Ontario fire marshall determines the cause of the three-alarm fire that destroyed Haymishe Bagel Shop on Bathurst Street near Lawrence Avenue on Sunday morning, said a captain with Toronto Fire Services.
Capt. Mike Strapko, who works in public information services, said in a telephone interview that firefighters will not have any information until the water is cleared from the basement of the bakery and any information found is sent to the forensics lab.
"This normally takes a long time," he told The CJN.
He said that four people were in the bakery when they noticed fire in the basement at around 10 a.m. Seventeen fire trucks and 65 firefighters responded to the 911 call.
Division Cmdr. Bob O'Hallam told CP24 that the first crews arrived and found heavy flames in the basement.
"They tried to enter to attack the fire there, but the floor was already collapsing and they were forced out."
The fire eventually spread to the apartment above.
Strapko said that the only person injured in the fire – six people were assessed by Toronto Medical Services – was a firefighter who hurt his ankle, but he remained on the job.
It took until around 2 p.m. for the fire to be contained.
Neighbouring businesses were evacuated, said Strapko, but none had more than light smoke damage.
In November 2006, a four-alarm fire destroyed Perl's Meat & Delicatessen on the same block.

Hey, I'd fire Tomlin and sign Jerry Glanville to a 5 year contract and ask him to build a team. He has earned some respect and is still coaching. Over the next few years you will lose Lebeu, Ben, Troy, and a lot of other people.
The future don't look bright. Tomlin needed to build a team and keep it going, he failed. He enjoywed Cowhers players for a few years, and now its over.

Marketers Get in on the April Foolishness

The Huffington Post and our sister site Multichannel Merchant offer round-ups of this year's things you never knew you needed and now desperately want—but can't really get.

Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart comments to Rock, Paper, Shotgun on the possibilities of revisiting the Fallout series after the studio created the well-received Fallout New Vegas. He expresses enthusiasm for returning to the property the former Black Isle developers helped originate, though also notes that the current "disruption of the industry" caused by the life-support phase of the console cycle is an obstacle to making deals with publishers, in spite of their friendly relationship with Fallout owner Bethesda Softworks. Caution aside, he discusses how it would make sense for them to create another west coast version of the Fallout setting, since they are a west coast studio. RPS caps this by paraphrasing a response from Bethesda's Todd Howard, who expresses cautious enthusiasm for another spin of the New Vegas wheel. They promise to publish their complete interview with Urquhart "very, very soon." Thanks nin.

MONTREAL — It has been a month since you resolved to exercise more and eat less. Are you still on track with the goals you set out to achieve as part of your "new year, new you" program? Or has early success been replaced with more excuses than action?
If you're hanging your head in shame because you fall into the latter category, you're in good company. Only 55 per cent of those who make New Year's resolutions keep up their good behaviour through to the end of January. By June, that number trickles down to 40 per cent.
If you're one of those who have fallen off the wagon, the good news is that in most cases it takes multiple attempts at realizing the same resolution before behaviour starts to change. And since those who make a resolution have more success at changing their behaviour than those who don't, you've made at least one step in the right direction.
So take heart: vowing to change is a first and important step in modifying behaviour, and failure, in many cases, is all part of how we accomplish long-term change.
The key to success then is to keep making those resolutions. And there's no better time than now to give them another go. Only this time, use your past mistakes to set up a new and improved set of goals. To help you revamp your resolutions of old, here are some new strategies designed for long term success.
Be ready
Wanting to change isn't enough. You have to be ready to make change happen. That kind of readiness needs to include a strategy — and not just any strategy. A good exercise plan includes specifics like what, where, when and how often.
If previous plans didn't work, take a look at some of the barriers that caused you to drift away from the resolutions you made earlier this month and create specific strategies to overcome them.
If time was an issue, take a realistic look at your schedule and pinpoint the best time of day for you to squeeze in a workout. Target your daily schedule around this window of opportunity vs. trying to adjust your daily rhythms around a specific class or workout schedule at your local gym.
Go slow
If you go about change too abruptly, the chance of long-term success is lower than if you transform your habits a little at a time. That may seem intuitive, but for whatever reason, when it comes to diet and exercise we often feel the need to change overnight.
Instead of starting off by exercising three times a week, which slowly dribbles down to twice a week, then once a week, then once every two weeks, work the pattern in reverse.
Start with 30 minutes of moderate-intensity easily-accessible exercise once a week. A weekend walk through the neighbourhood, a local yoga class, two 15-minute workouts on the stationary bike you bought as part of last year's New Year's resolutions are all great options.
Once you feel comfortable working that much exercise into your life, go ahead and add a bit more, slowing increasing your weekly commitment until you've reached your exercise goal.
The nice thing about this approach is that the motivation to add more exercise comes naturally. As your fitness improves, so does the faith in your ability to tackle more, which is in stark contrast to struggling to achieve goals that were too ambitious in the first place.
Bail early
A good fitness program is challenging enough to be motivating, but not so challenging that it eats away at your confidence.
If you have to force yourself to head to the gym, feel over your head during your fitness class or feel relief instead of accomplishment at the end of a workout, you're either not doing the right thing or doing it wrong.
Granted there's a fine line between giving something an honest try and giving up, but trust me, when you get exercise right, it feels great. When it's wrong it's a chore.
When deciding whether to keep at it or move on, ask yourself a simple question: Do I see myself doing this six months from now? If not, cut your losses and find something that feels right.
Make contingency plans
You know what they say about best-laid plans — they often go awry.
If the occasional workout is interrupted because of an unexpected change of plans, that's no big deal. But if your schedule is constantly in a state of flux, you need to come up with a series of contingency plans that will keep your workout momentum going.
Babysitter cancelled? Keep an exercise CD at the ready and work out at home. Weather put your cross-country ski plans on hold? Go for a run or hit the elliptical machine at the gym. Travelling? Choose a hotel with a gym, pool or a location close to local running trails.
And remember, even a 20-minute workout is enough to maintain your momentum, so don't discount the benefit of something as simple as heading out for a quick walk on days when all else fails.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Freshman goalkeeper Kelsey Duryea saved a Georgetown free position attempt with five seconds remaining to send the sixth-ranked Duke women's lacrosse team to an 11-10 victory over the 11th-ranked Hoyas Saturday afternoon at Multi-Sport Field. Duryea finished with 11 saves in just her second start in goal as the Blue Devils improved to 6-1 overall and 1-1 against ranked opponents while handing Georgetown (4-1) its first loss of the season.
"It shows incredible poise for a freshman to make such a big stop at such a critical point in a big game," said head coach Kerstin Kimel of Duryea's performance. "Georgetown outshot us in this game, so I feel like our defense did a great job of forcing them to take some not great shots, and Kelsey obviously made some great saves."
Six different Blue Devil players recorded a point, led by sophomore Kerrin Maurer's five points on two goals and three assists. Senior Makenzie Hommel collected her third hat trick of the season while sophomore Brigid Smith, sophomore Taylor Trimble and freshman Kelci Smesko all added two goals apiece. Trimble also won a team-high four draw controls and junior Taylor Virden guided the defense with four ground balls.
The opening 15 minutes of the contest were a back-and-forth affair, with Georgetown winning the opening draw but the Blue Devils getting on the board first on a goal by Hommel. Two more scores from Hommel and a goal by Smith on a Molly Quirke assist gave Duke a 6-3 advantage with 11:49 to go in the period. Despite a stifling defensive effort from the Blue Devils, the Hoyas responded with two tallies over the final four minutes - including a goal with the clock expiring - to cut Duke's lead to 7-5 at the intermission.
Duryea made five stops in the first period while Hommel paced the squad offensively with three first-half goals.
"We were really doing a good job of reading Georgetown's defense," Kimel said. "I thought we were poised, we took good care of the ball and we found open people. I'm happy to see our young team take a game plan and put it into action."
The Blue Devils kept the momentum rolling in the second half as Maurer worked her way around the front post early on for her 17th goal of the season. After a tally by Georgetown's Erin Lovett, sophomore Taylor Trimble and Maurer each scored to give Duke its largest lead of the afternoon at 10-6.
Two consecutive goals by the Hoyas and a couple of turnovers by the Blue Devils made it a two-goal game with 17:08 to play. Freshman Kelci Smesko ended what was nearly a 19-minute scoring drought for Duke, bouncing one past Georgetown goalkeeper Barb Black to push the margin back to three at the 3:22 mark. Kelyn Freedman provided the answer for the Hoyas less than a minute later, and teammate Caroline Tarzian converted a free position attempt with 57 seconds remaining to put Georgetown within one at 11-10.
A turnover by the Blue Devils on the ensuing possession gave the ball back to the Hoyas, who then earned another free position attempt with five seconds to go. On the free position, Georgetown's Kelsi Bozel fired a shot at Duryea in goal from the right hash, but the Blue Devil freshman came up with her biggest save of the afternoon to preserve the win for Duke.
"I was trying to just watch the ball - that was the biggest thing," Duryea said. "Right before, Maddy Morrissey came up to me and patted me on the helmet and said, 'You've got this.' Knowing that my defenders have confidence in me keeps me calm and lets me know I can do it."
On the day, the Blue Devils were 13-of-14 on clear attempts and matched the Hoyas with 11 ground balls. Georgetown led in shots, 33-15, and had a 12-10 advantage at the draw.
"I think Georgetown can be a tough place to play," Kimel said. "We had a few too many turnovers, especially in the beginning of the second half, but I'm pleased we were able to not let all of that factor in. There are things to work on and get better at going forward."
Duke continues its road swing with a visit to Jacksonville Wednesday, March 13 at 3:30 p.m.
