2:00 amPioneers of Television [#304H] Miniseries Miniseries still rank among the top-rated programs in television history; they were major events that captured the nation's imagination. "Roots" was the biggest - interviewed about that groundbreaking series are stars LeVar Burton, Louis Gossett Jr., Leslie Uggams, Ben Vereen, John Amos, Georg Stanford Brown and Ed Asner. This episode also considers the very first miniseries, "Rich Man, Poor Man," as stars Peter Strauss and Susan Blakely offer fresh insights. All of the key players from the landmark miniseries "The Thorn Birds" appear, providing surprising commentary about the romance seen by more viewers than any other in TV history. New interviews with Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward and Bryan Brown mark the 30th anniversary of one of television's biggest events. duration 55:46 STEREO TVPG
3:00 amPioneers of Television [#201H] Science Fiction Storytellers Gene Roddenberry, Irwin Allen and Rod Serling created the storylines and characters behind the best-loved futuristic television of their time. But as Roddenberry's "Star Trek" competed for ratings with Allen's "Lost in Space," each show's creator aimed for a very different direction. This episode explores how Roddenberry and Serling (of "The Twilight Zone") used the future as a stage for modern morality plays, and William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols and other science-fiction stars describe how they prepared to interact on-camera with a malevolent alien force ... or, perhaps, a giant radish. duration 56:46 STEREO TVG
4:00 amFrontline [#3105] Cliffhanger This February, as the nation faced yet another round of fiscal crises, Frontline investigated the inside history of how Washington has failed to solve the country's problems of debt and deficit. Drawing on interviews with key players in Congress and the White House, Frontline goes behind the scenes to show how a clash of politics and personalities has taken the nation's economy to the edge of the "fiscal cliff," and now to a second round of standoffs over the debt ceiling and sequestration. The film explores the deep ideological divide inside the Republican Party and the struggle between House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Speaker John Boehner as they take on President Obama and the Democrats. duration 56:46 STEREO TVPG (Secondary audio: none)
5:00 amUncommon Vision: The Life and Times of John Howard Griffin John Howard Griffin is best known as the white man who in 1959 disguised himself as a black man and then traveled anonymously through the heart of Dixie. From his experiences, he wrote Black Like Me, a groundbreaking best seller published in 1960 that today stands as a testament to Griffin's moral commitment and is a document of one of the more extraordinary events of the Civil Rights era. The book revealed the author's first-hand exposure to the harsh realities that were faced by black citizens each day in the Jim Crow South. Following the publication of the book, Griffin was the target of death threats and was hanged in effigy in his hometown in Texas. Through dramatic re-enactments, evocative readings from the book, strong archival materials, and interviews with those who knew John Howard Griffin, this revealing biography looks at the life of this remarkable social activist. It also examines how Griffin's deep spiritual commitment carried him through an uncanny life - segregated childhood in Fort Worth, a medic with the French Underground in WWII, blinded by war injuries, and a prolific writer and photographer. duration 59:00 STEREO TVG (Secondary audio: none)

UPPER MERION — Over 100 classic and antique vehicles are currently taking part in the 2014 Great Race from Maine to Florida. It is the race's 31st year.
The oldest of those cars, a 1915 Hudson 6-40 from Newtown, Conn., along with the others, rolled to a stop Monday night at the Valley Forge Casino Resort in Upper Merion for an overnight pit stop on their trip.
According to race officials, the road rally is 2,100 miles from start to finish and will take nine days to complete. The race is not just a speed race, but a time, speed and distance rally.
Cars built after 1972 are not eligible to participate in the race, and this year there is $150,000 in prize money up for grabs. The cars need a driver and navigator to take part, as no modern technology can be used during the race.

Nothing about Cambria's beginning was very strategic. "It just kind of happened," says Cambria President and CEO Marty Davis. It all began when Marty Davis' friend put him onto this new investment opportunity. The Davis's studied the opportunity and ultimately Mark Davis, Marty's father, made a personal investment in a northern Minnesota business start-up in the late '90s. They loved the company's technology and quartz product, but didn't know much more than that about the operation. But taking risks was something the Davis family was familiar with. Entrepreneurial instinct is a family legacy that began with Stan and Mark Davis, who owned small creameries that eventually lead to the formation of Davisco Foods International, an international leader in the dairy industry.
Cambria takes great pride in our rich company history, and embraces the value of being the only family-owned, American made quartz surface company in the quartz surfaces business. We bring a new perspective and approach to the industry by responding to our customers' needs. With state-of-the-art facilities, unsurpassed design innovation, and work ethic of experienced employee teams, Cambria has rapidly become an industry leader.
Cambria announces the Cambria Gallery on 7th, located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. The gallery showcases a myriad of innovative vignettes, created by locally renowned designers and craftsmen. The gallery provides a convenient location to collaborate and experience the movement in Cambria's trend-setting design palette.
Cambria doubles capacity by adding 408,000 square feet and two new production lines to the Minnesota production plant. This marks the second plant expansion in Cambria's 12-year history.
Now samples of every Cambria design are at your fingertips, wherever you happen to be.
Use your iPad® or iPhone® to browse designs, compare your favorites, and share with friends, family, and clients. When it's time to start planning for that dream build or remodel, our app makes it easy to order samples of Cambria designs that truly inspire you.
As a family-owned business, we understand what a home represents: peace of mind. That's why our goal is to make buying or refinancing a home as secure, easy and stress-free as possible for buyers, borrowers, lenders and real estate agents alike.
Welcome to Cambria Title.
Cambria introduces six new designs to its industry-leading design palette. Capturing the depth and movement of water over stone, Armitage, Lanseshaw, Hollinsbrook, Bradshaw and Berkeley, join The Waterstone Collection. Rosslyn, with its striking metallic golds on a nuanced background of taupe and tan, is the sixth design to join The Jewel Collection.
Cambria opens a state-of-the-art studio showcasing exceptional quality in design detail and fabrication, in the King East Design District of Toronto.
Cambria opens its Orlando Distribution Center, serving the fast-growing Florida market.
Cambria solidifies its position as the leader in color innovation, introducing 12 new designs with The Waterstone Collection. Inspired by the natural movement of water over stone, the collection incorporates technology that once seemed impossible for quartz. Cambria's designs now total nearly 100.
Cambria unveils an unprecedented 21 new designs, with looks never-before seen in quartz, mimicking onyx, marble and granite. The launch includes two new collections --The Cambrian Collection™, capturing all the color, pattern and movement of classic stone, and The Jewel Collection™, featuring shimmering crystals from deep within the surface.
Cambria launches its California division, serving that unique market through Distribution Centers in both the northern and southern regions of the state.
Cambria introduces Cambi Dragon, the company mascot. Cambi begins a rigorous schedule of appearances at sports venues and public events.
Cambria launches 16 new designs, adding to the Quarry and Desert Collections™, and expanding Cambria's design palette to 64.
The first issue of Cambria Style magazine, a lifestyle publication for homeowners, designers and other trade partners, is published and distributed nationwide.
Similar to the Club Cambrias found in sports venues, Café Cambria opens in the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, home to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Cambria Financial is developed and begins providing mortgage and other financial services to help Cambria customers finance their home improvement projects.
Cambria expands its presence in Southern California, opening a Cambria Studio in Palm Desert for designers and consumers.
Cambria begins its Lexus Partnership Program. Providing exclusive markets to key partners, the Lexus initiative values intimate partnerships and deep relationships. Lexus Partners are highly evolved businesses that meet criteria related to sales success, exceptional quality, high-level customer service and a commitment to marketing.
To keep pace with demand, Cambria opens additional FabShops in Toronto and Cleveland.
Cambria partners with supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, the first of several Cambria advocates who help carry the company's message and enhance its public relations efforts. Other advocates include Mariel Hemingway, W.S. Holland and Ronnie Hawkins.
Cambria is named #4 on Entrepreneur Magazine's "Hot 500" list of fastest-growing businesses. The annual list recognizes businesses that meet specific criteria, including positive sales and job growth.
Cambria invests $52 million into its Le Sueur facility, equipping it with the newest processing technology and more than doubling its size to 350,000 square feet.
Cambria launches an advertising campaign with nationally-syndicated radio host, Paul Harvey, creating widespread awareness in areas of the United States that were not yet familiar with the product.
Cambria introduces the first designs in the Quarry Collection, featuring movement and a depth similar to that found in natural granite. No other quartz surface companies were producing designs of this nature.
Cambria opens its Indianapolis FabShop to serve this fast-growing market.
Club Cambria at the Target Center in Minneapolis opens and leads the way to other elite sports lounges across the country.
Allowing customers and designers to see the beauty and functionality of Cambria first hand, Cambria opens its first design studio in Minneapolis' International Market Square.
The Davis family launches Cambria as a retail brand in the spring of 2003.
Cambria FabShop (a fabrication facility) and Quartz Surfaces (an installation service) are established in Minnesota to give the company hands-on knowledge and skills. Today Quartz Surfaces is renamed Cambria Surfaces with three locations in Plymouth and Mankato, MN and Palm Desert, CA.
Cambria breaks from Dupont and ventures out on its own into the coutertop sector, offering 33 unique designs.
Cambria opens its plant in Le Sueur, MN. The 150,000-square-foot building is a monument of commitment to product innovation, first-class customer service and leading edge quality control techniques and disciplines. Begins business as a tile manufacturer with an arrangement to provide slabs to DuPont.
Known for its successes in the dairy business, The Davis family decides to enter the quartz surface business after being presented with the opportunity to buy quartz processing equipment.
Jerome Cheese Company is founded by Mark Davis in Jerome, Idaho. It becomes the company's flagship, and, along with biPro isolation technology, launches the company as an international leader in the dairy industry.
The St. Peter Creamery closes. Operations move to Le Sueur and the new Le Sueur Food Ingredient plant is established.
The family's business now consists of three companies: the St. Peter Creamery, LeSueur Cheese Company and Nicollet Food Products. All are merged to form Davisco Foods International. Later the next year, Jim Ward joins the company and goes on to become the leading finance officer for all the Davis family businesses.
biPro technology is developed and the company's entrance into high tech ingredients begins in full.
The Davises purchase Lake Norden Creamery in South Dakota from Land O'Lakes. Today, Lake Norden houses Davisco's largest and most technologically-advanced mozzarella cheese processing plant.
In the old butter and cheese-making days, the buttermilk and whey by-products were considered junk. But in true entrepreneurial fashion, Mark Davis saw things differently and leveraged the company to pioneer whey protein isolation technology.
The marketplace for dairy products changes again. Mark Davis was willing to change and adapt while making tough decisions that kept the family's creamery business on the road to success. Mark converts the entire focus of the Le Sueur Creamery to cheese-making, and what has now been a 40 year cheese-making boom for the Davises, begins to blossom.
Stan Davis and Allen Cords, former classmates in dairy school at the University of Minnesota, combine the milk supplies at the St. Peter Creamery and the Le Sueur Cheese Company. The Davises purchase the Le Sueur Creamery and begin exploring ways to further expand their business. Mark Davis becomes the manager of Le Sueur Cheese.
With the creamery business changing, Stan makes a bold move, risking it all by investing in a brand new technology, spray drying. Stan had planned on investing with a partner, but on his way to make the purchase, his partner backed out. Stan did it anyway and grew his small creamery into an Upper Midwest leader in the dairy industry
The dairy business changes overnight with America's entry into World War II. The government needed skim milk to ship overseas and butter rationing began. The St. Peter Creamery changed with the times and built strong relationships with local farmers for milk and cream supply, which was key to its future growth.
Stan buys the St. Peter Creamery with partner Harvey Parsons, the man who he had apprenticed under. Eventually Harvey leaves the business and Stan becomes sole owner.
Stan Davis enters the butter business by taking an apprenticeship in Norseland, Minnesota. The work is close to home and gives him the opportunity to learn a trade. "It was hard work... better than no work! It was the steadiest job in town. Everybody else would be laid off and the creameries got to operate. It was good work, it paid good wages and I look back on it as a wise decision."

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets were mostly higher Friday as momentum carried over from yet another record high on Wall Street.
The Standard and Poor's 500 index closed at a record Thursday, driven by more encouraging data on the U.S. economic recovery. The government said the economy grew at an annual rate of 0.4 percent in the October-December quarter, slightly better than previous estimates. The revision reflected stronger business investment and export sales.
South Korea's Kospi rose 0.7 percent to 2,006.41. Mainland China's Shanghai Composite Index added 0.4 percent to 2,244.79. Taiwan's TAIEX also advanced. Markets in Hong Kong, India, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore for holidays.
In Japan, however, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index slipped marginally to 12,331.44 as the yen leveled off against the dollar and the government released figures for February showing the country's jobless rate edging up while industrial production fell slightly.
Newly appointed central bank governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, has pledged to work with the government to end decades of growth-inhibiting deflation. His outspoken calls for action have raised hopes for results — but analysts said they may also have created unrealistic expectations for a turnaround.
"Unfortunately, the markets' expectations of the new Governor are so high that they will be almost impossible to meet, let alone beat," said analysts at Capital Economics in a market commentary.
In Europe on Thursday, markets responded positively to the calm reopening of Cyprus's banks. Banks in the Mediterranean island nation were shut for nearly two weeks as the government negotiated a rescue loan from international lenders to prevent the financial system from collapsing. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares, Germany's DAX and France's CAC-40 all closed higher Thursday.
Italy's political uncertainty will also remain in the spotlight. Following inconclusive elections around a month ago, the country is still without a government, and that's raised concerns over its future economic path. Italy is the third-largest economy of the 17 countries that use the euro.
The Standard and Poor's 500 index closed at a record Thursday, surpassing its previous record close of 1,565.15 set in October 2007. The Dow, which surpassed its previous all-time high at the start of the month, also rose.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.4 percent to close at 14,578.54. The S&P 500 advanced 0.4 percent to close at 1,569.19. The Nasdaq composite index added 0.3 percent to 3,267.52. U.S. stock markets will be shut for the Good Friday holiday. Thursday was the last trading day of the first quarter.
The New York Mercantile Exchange, where benchmark oil is traded, was closed for the Good Friday holiday.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.2827 from $1.2822 late Thursday in New York. The dollar fell to 94.07 yen from 94.13 yen.

Mobilemaps began life as a 3D virtual reality mapping program in 1995/1996, then developed into an early attempt at "Google Earth". Next, it's ever optimistic founders, Philip and Peter Abrahamson, transformed it into one of the world's first location-based keyword search-engines by early 2001.

Philip and Justin B. Terry-Smith: Positive Parents
By Robert Breining
December 18, 2012
On Sunday, Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. EST, Philip and Justin B. Terry-Smith shared about the love they have for each other and what it is like to be parents.
Justin B. Terry-Smith, 32, has been an HIV and gay civil rights activist in the Washington, D.C., area since 1999. An Air Force veteran, he was honorably discharged with awards and decorations in 2003. He has served and volunteered in several organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign, Black AIDS Institute, Equality Maryland, Whitman Walker Health and the National Black Justice Coalition. Justin writes and has written for many organizations and publications including Black AIDS Institute, TheBody.com, GBMNews.com, Baltimore Gay Life, POZIAM Radio and Swerve Magazine. He resides with his husband, Dr. Philip Terry-Smith in Laurel, Md. Justin created "Justin's HIV Journal" to advocate for HIV/AIDS education, prevention and awareness. In his journal he tells people about the trials and tribulations of living with HIV/AIDS. He is also a correspondent for GLO TV. He is also the author of the HIV-themed children's book, I Have A Secret, which is a story about a young boy living with HIV. Justin also presently writes an advice column called "Just*in Time" for A&U, America's AIDS Magazine and is working on his HIV campaign called "Write A Letter to HIV." He also is in graduate school for his master's in public health.
Philip B. Terry-Smith, Ph.D., Th.D., LPC., is in private practice as an executive and personal coach, counselor and organizational consultant. He has worked with many diverse populations and settings, noted for using creative approaches to help organizations and individuals meet and overcome challenges and has thus made a career of human service management and consulting.

FERRY CORSTEN & Friends
Undoubtedly the city's most famous night spot, Space is
located in downtown Miami and is the award winning jewel in the crown
of the Miami, if not American, club scene. It has the first
Alpha-Dynacord Sound System in the states and its large rooms have
hosted parties featuring practically all major A list DJs and artists
over the last decade. It is consistently ranked amongst the world's top
clubs in polls, which is largely thanks to the legendary terrace that
sits atop the roof. If you're trying to picture the vibe, think the old
terrace at Space in Ibiza. Just one of those clubs you have tick off
the list, albeit regularly criticises for being too mainstream.
Tip: An obvious one, but you'd be amazed how many people don't bother doing this. Buying presale tickets will skip you past the HUGE line of people waiting to get in.

process can help you find your GAP areas, identify ways to fix them, and put your company on the right path to high performance product management.
Many executives make the mistake of thinking of product management roles as tactical functions, so they hire or promote people who are task-oriented and internally focused — doers and tinkerers, rather than thinkers and planners.
The best product managers are marketers and strategists.
Instead of asking, "What can I do to the product?" the right people in product management roles ask, "What can I do to capture the customer?" They are leaders who function as entrepreneurial CEOs of their product offering with the responsibility for managing revenue and profitability. And they are planners capable of managing the product portfolio throughout the life cycle from innovation to end of life.
Maximize market performance by keeping product management roles STRATEGICALLY focused
Product management is a discipline requiring product managers to be strategic in nature and to embrace long-term, market-based thinking and planning. It's not uncommon for organizations to involve product managers in activities that are not conducive to their primary role. When this occurs, product managers may fall into the trap of becoming tactical, internally focused, reactive managers.
Maximal's comprehensive ProfilerPM™ helps companies and product managers develop the strategic skills required to stay tightly focused on product management strategy — avoiding the costly distractions that can bring good product management down.ProfilerPM™ Get the Max from your product portfolio management when you think "Strategy Integration"
Managing a product portfolio is like managing an investment fund.
Product management is more than simply managing individual products or product development projects. It's about managing the entire mix of product investments the company makes with the ultimate goal of achieving a balanced portfolio. The principle concern is to develop a healthy portfolio, with the right balance in terms of existing and new products, long-term and short-term projects, high-risk versus low-risk projects, product diversification across markets, technologies, categories and product types.

New campaign targeting Central Americans urging them not to come to the US
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske says a new international media campaign will be aimed at slowing illegal immigration.
The commissioner made the announcement in South Texas while standing beside the Rio Grande in Mission. He says 226 immigrants have died crossing the border since October.
The campaign will include hundreds of billboards and some 6,500 public service announcements for radio and television stations in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
One offering has an image of a child's footprints in the desert running toward the horizon with the message in Spanish: "I thought it would be easy for my son to get papers in the USA I was wrong."
More than 52,000 unaccompanied children have been detained since October after entering the U.S. illegally, mostly in South Texas.

Social structures, inequalities and social justice
The way social relations are organised on the large scale, the making of social inequalities, and the pursuit of social justice, are among the most important concerns of social science - and of society as a whole. Research in these areas ranges from close-focus fieldwork to large-scale theoretical studies. It can involve research with international partners or cooperation with local communities or schools. Research in these areas is relevant to the teaching of Education and Social Work, because social inequalities produce many of the problems that social workers deal with, and shape the work of teachers and educational systems.

Only a last minute penalty prevented Sutton & Epsom resuming their London Division Two South West campaign in defeat.
The league leaders were staring down both barrels at home to Guildford until Frankie Murray stepped up to steal a 21-19 win with the last kick of the game.
Shawn Renwick got on the scoresheet twice and Murray would add 11 points to take the four winning points – however, missing out on a bonus allowed second-placed Chobham to cut Sutton's lead from eight to seven points.
The match started with both sides looking bright after the three-week Christmas break.
Each had some good phases of play, which culminated with Guildford having the first attempt at goal after seven minutes when Sutton were forced offside at a ruck within kicking range.
Fortunately, for Sutton, the kick was missed, which continued to be the order of the day as both would go on to miss further opportunities.
After the miss, Sutton built the pressure without being able to put any points on the board.
Suddenly Guildford broke out of defence and with excellent ball movement and support play, burst through the Sutton defence to score in the corner through their number eight, Nick Taft - the conversion was missed.
Sutton rallied and had another good period of sustained pressure, which eventually led to a try through Shawn Renwick – Murray's conversion was successful, which put Sutton into a 7-5 lead.
This was the last time that Sutton would have the lead until the last seconds of the game.
The hosts continued to put Guildford under pressure but it was well absorbed, and Guildford went on to score two converted and well-worked tries for 19-10 to the visitors.
The second half started with Sutton needing to score quickly to establish a platform for victory, and Murray duly obliged with a penalty for 19-13.
Murray would go on to miss two further long-range kicks, but the Sutton pressure eventually culminated in a second try for Renwick – Murray missed the conversion, leaving Sutton 19-18 going into the final quarter.
Guildford missed an opportunity to increase their lead with five minutes left, but the missed penalty would prove telling.
Sutton mounted a last-minute push on the Guildford line, which culminated in the last-second penalty, and Murray's match-winning kick.
Sutton travel to bottom club Camberley next weekend.

Skip to comments.Menendez allegations growing rapidly, creating headache for Democrats (the bad news keeps coming)
Posted on 02/02/2013 6:09:15 AM PST by Libloather
A cloud of scandalous allegations is rapidly growing over Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), putting Democratic leaders in a difficult position as the integrity of their immigration point man in the Senate falls under question at a critical time.
The bad news keeps coming: a Senate Ethics probe, allegations involving underage prostitutes, an FBI investigation of a key campaign donor, undisclosed flights on the donors private plane, and now, reports linking Menendez to a multi-million dollar contract he helped obtain for the disgraced donor.
Menendez denies nearly all of it. But it couldnt come at a worse time for the new chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who, as the only Hispanic Democrat in the upper chamber, has led the way on his partys recent all-out push to revamp the countrys immigration laws.
This is a giant thorn in the side of the Democratic leadership that will make it impossible for it to drive any message at all, said Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist and former spokesman for then-House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-Ill.) and then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.).
There is a gray cloud around the operations of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as long as this crisis continues to exist, he said.
No Republican lawmaker has openly called for Menendez to resign yet, but the longer the New Jersey lawmaker avoids directly addressing the allegations with the press and the more attention they garner, the greater the likelihood that calls for him to step down will come.
It is more important for Menendezs political future, however, that Democrats refrain from criticizing him publicly. If that occurs, the chances of him surviving this public relations crisis decrease dramatically.
So far, Democratic leaders are opting not to comment beyond a few words.
Bob Menendez is my friend. He's an outstanding senator, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) this week, when asked about the emerging allegations.
Similarly, White House press secretary Jay Carney dodged a question at Fridays press briefing about whether the president is concerned that a Senate Ethics investigation will hinder the immigration reform push because of Menendezs key role.
Well, I have nothing to say about that. I would refer you to the Senate, Carney said.
Menendezs New Jersey colleague Sen. Frank Lautenberg has been the only Democrat to openly weigh in on the allegations, albeit cautiously, telling reporters on Thursday that, If there are infractions as they are reported, its too bad.
But the scandal circus in the press corps on Capitol Hill is escalating.
On Tuesday morning, Menendez was doing the cable news rounds, pressing hard for immigration reform.
Elections have consequences and I think our Republican colleagues woke up to the new demographic in this nation as expressed by the election results, Menendez said on MSNBC, referring to Hispanics. As I traveled the country in this last election and in my own reelection, I said if we want to have immigration reform, use your vote to send that message. I think that was done.
But by Tuesday night FBI agents had raided Dr. Salomon Melgens Florida business. By Wednesday morning, questions around Menendezs involvement were swirling.
A friend of the New Jersey lawmakers, Melgen has donated thousands of dollars to Menendez while letting him fly aboard his private plane to the Dominican Republic, where the Florida doctor owns a luxury resort.
The ethics cloud thickened later in the week when The New York Times reported that Menendez helped Melgen lock down an estimated $500 million contract for a company the Florida donor had obtained an ownership interest in.
Its unclear whether the FBIs investigation of Melgen is related to Menendez. The doctor has an outstanding IRS lien of $11.1 million in back taxes owed from a three-year period and had previously been subjected to a $6.2 million lien that was released in 2011, according to the Miami Herald.
Last year, the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) received e-mails from a man detailing a series of allegations that Menendez traveled numerous times to the Dominican resort to engage with prostitutes, at least one of whom is alleged to be underage. Unable to verify the veracity of the claims, CREW passed the information on to the Justice Department and the FBI.
The allegations eventually surfaced last November, days before Menendezs re-election, when the conservative publication The Daily Caller published an article from interviews with two Dominican prostitutes who alleged to have slept with the lawmaker.
Menendezs office denies the charges and claims they are politically motivated.
Sen. Menendez has traveled on Dr. Melgens plane on three occasions, all of which have been paid for and reported appropriately, said Menendezs office in a statement. Any allegations of engaging with prostitutes are manufactured by a politically motivated right-wing blog and are false.
Menendez cut Melgen a check last month from his personal account for $58,000 to reimburse him for two of the trips. But this came only after a New Jersey state lawmaker had last year asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate flights Menendez had taken on Melgens private plane but had not disclosed.
Menendez himself has not addressed the allegations. By Thursday, television camera crews and reporters were parked outside of his Senate office anxious to catch a glimpse of him. He was nowhere to be found, however, taking back elevators to and from the days votes to avoid the press, according to accounts published in The New York Post and the New York Daily News that detailed his movements.
Ask Geraldo.
Exactly...this will be covered up. The MSM won't cover it, except to dismiss it.
They generally appoint as interim someone from the same party. In this case, probably some congressman or State rep from somewhere in corrupt dem NJ politics.
On the other hand, Geraldo said he is considering running for Gov in NJ, maybe he would settle for interim senate!
Menendez immigration reform: BJ69 visas for all Latin girls 15 and under.
Coverage is just now starting to go mainstream. Menendez is dodging the press and cancelling public appearances.
Looks like his immediate strategy is to lie low and hope the feeding frenzy abates.
The alternative press has to make sure it does not.
The guy's a snake in the grass who should have been held accountable for his corruption long before this. There was a jump the shark moment for Torricelli. Menendez gets longer because he's Hispanic, but this is much more sordid than the Torricelli gift grabs.
Agreed. Remember how much coverage GWB got for not wearing his seatbelt on the private roads on his farm?
Are you kidding?
This is a RESUME ENHANCEMENT!
Just another sexual more that the left will "help" us get over.
How does NJ keep electing reprobates to office? And why don't they end up at Leavenworth? Boggles the mind.
Interesting that the same WNBC reporter that brought down Torricelli---Jonothan Dienst---is now reporting on the Menendez case.
THE STORY THUS FAR Menendez is the lead legislator in Obama's effort to get amnesty passed. So when this crowd says "amnesty is for the children," they know something we don't know.
BACKTORY Rumors surfaced November 2012 that the Dominican-born eye doctor, Salomon Melgen, provided underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic for Sen Robert Menendez, a favor that appeared to be lagniappe----on top of large campaign contributions to Menendez. NOTE WELL It is not uncommon for favor-seekers to provide hook-ups for sex-starved pols--- as a quid pro quo. So the obvious question is, "What did Menendez do for Melgen? Here's the answer. Ace investigative reporters conducted extensive reviews of publicly-available documents that link the two, and recorded the unusual actions Menendez made on behalf of Meglen's port security company, known as ICSSI.
A New York Times story reported how Menendez sought to help ICSSI "in ways that could bring the doctor (and others) a highly lucrative windfall." Two years ago, Dr. Melgen, despite an apparent lack of experience in border security issues, bought an ownership interest in a company that had a long-dormant contract with the Dominican Republic to provide port security.
Menendez, who is chairman of the Senate subcommittee that holds sway over the Dominican Republic, subsequently urged officials in the US State and Commerce Depts to intervene so that the contract would be enforced, at an estimated value of $500 million. Menendez used govt resources, govt authority and his privileged position to convene a special hearing on the port matter---he was the only Senator present but the hearing had the full force of the US govt.
Menendez dragged Obama administration officials up to the Hill for questioning---pressuring the officials about why the port deal had not gone through. The New York Times quotes Menendez at the hearing: "You have another company that has American investors that is seeking to - has a contract actually given to it by the - kind of ratified by the Dominican Congress to do X-ray of all of the cargo that goes through the ports, which have been problematic and for which in the past narcotics have been included in those cargo," the senator said.
Casa de Campo where US pols play hide and seek under the sheets w/ the local kids.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Have you asked your Senator/Cong/legislator if THEY'VE ever spent time at Casa de Campo resort in the Dominican Republic?
This needs to be broadcast. There needs to be press conferences as well as ads run on every station. With the question posted, "why won't the MSM report Democrat scandals?"
Pick a target (Matthews) and go after him. Hard...
Im a bit surprised little boys arent involved in this story ....Menendez is a Democrat after all.....
it's just sex. can't we just move on?
Do we have a good TeaParty candidate to run for that soon to be vacant seat?
"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Have you asked your Senator/Cong/legislator if THEY'VE ever spent time at Casa de Campo resort in the Dominican Republic?"
At least twenty subdivisions make up the residential aspect of Casa de Campo, consisting of over 1,350 villas and condominiums. Casa de Campo is established luxury. The worlds elite vacation and mingle here. Properties have maintained their values and are consistently on the rise. Here you can experience the most active lifestyle, or the most secluded retreat. In 2005 alone, Bill Gates, George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton have made Casa de Campo their chosen vacation spot, Beyonce recently spent New Year's at the resort.
Notes from Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic
Last weekend golfers from all over the world flew in to the Dominican Republic for Alfy Fanjul's 17th annual Sugar Golf Tournament and Bren and Mel Simon's "Safari Gala" in the gardens of their spectacular house, "Casa Luna" in Casa de Campo.
Bren Simon
The Simons, in from Indianapolis, and Emilia and Pepe Fanjul flew down from Palm Beach with Pauline Pitt, Jamie Niven, Lillian Fernandez (Alfy's daughter) and Jim Mitchell, and gave a dinner at "Casa Grande," the Fanjul compound at Casa de Campo. Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster gave a fundraising dinner for former President Bill Clinton, at his house in Casa de Campo, which benefited President Clinton's AIDS foundation and the Clinton Library. Emilia and Pepe and Rolando Bunster's dinner started the week-long festivities. President Clinton played golf with Mel Simon and George Hamilton and then flew to Haiti for a fundraising dinner for his AIDS foundation.

Lobbyists add political sweetener
St. Petersburg Times - Tuesday, May 17, 1994
Author: KARL VICK
Executive charm
Even in the lobby of the U.S. Capitol, Alfonso ""Alfie'' Fanjul makes an impression.
Gliding out of a caucus room into a hallway crowded with tourists, the Flo-Sun chief executive displays the veneer and prosperous bearing of a matinee idol.
Reporters approach and, smiling, the millionaire repeats an encouraging word about NAFTA, which was the latest victory for Florida sugar, and praise for President Clinton, the newest friend of the Fanjul family of Palm Beach.
Except on the charity social circuit, the Fanjuls keep a low profile in Florida. Their business phone is answered by repeating the number just dialed: ""six three oh three.'' But in Washington they personify Florida's sugar industry almost as thoroughly as they dominated Cuba's before Fidel Castro.
Every political fund-raiser in either party knows one of the Fanjul brothers by name.
In 1992, while his sibling raised money for Bill Clinton, Jose ""Pepe'' Fanjul worked to re-elect George Bush. Four years earlier he raised more than $100,000 for Bush, and took his wife, Emilia, to a state dinner in the White House.
Pepe Fanjul was also close to the Cabinet. Eyebrows were raised when Bush's Commerce Secretary, Robert Mosbacher, was a guest at the Fanjuls' luxury resort complex, CasadeCampo in the DominicanRepublic , where they have even larger sugar holdings than in Florida. Mosbacher and his wife, Georgette, also flew to the Fanjuls' hunting lodge near Okeechobee.
At the time, the Commerce Department was considering candymaker E.J. Brach's request for a free-trade zone that would let it buy sugar at the world price, instead of the higher price the federal program assures growers. Mosbacher headed the U.S. Free Trade Zone Board, which turned down Brach's. He said he played no part in the decision.
With a Democrat in the White House, the Fanjuls have suffered no loss of access. As co-chair of Clinton's Florida campaign, Alfonso Fanjul hosted a Miami fund-raiser that raised $120,000 for the candidate. The family gave the Clinton campaign $74,000 between the Florida primary and the Democratic convention, a sizeable chunk of the more than $1-million the family and its employees have dropped into federal campaigns since 1979.
At the Little Rock economic summit in December of 1992, many of the 300 business leaders present claimed to be close to the president-elect. Alfonso Fanjul was seated three chairs from him.
So it was that the Fanjuls became architects of the Everglades clean-up plan recently signed by Gov. Lawton Chiles, but first laid out to Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt in a private meeting with Flo-Sun shortly after the inauguration. When Babbitt announced the plan five months later, Alfonso Fanjul called it the fulfillment of Clinton's campaign promise to make business and government partners for the environment. Environmentalists called it the Fanjuls' campaign contributions at work.
State Dept. Says Hillary Clinton Is Not Celebrating in Dominican Republic as Reported
Geraldo has declared as a Republican. I think he is looking for a Christie appointment.
Send the word out far and wide--legislators pulling for amnesty (despite Americans distaste for it)---who have foreign connections had better come clean now.
NO AMNESTY until we know whether Menendez is being blackmailed to push amesty in exchange for erasing videos of his involvemet w/ underage prostitutes.
NO AMNESTY UNTIL WE KNOW whether other amnesty-prone legislators are being blackmailed
NO AMNESTY UNTIL WE KNOW THE SCOPE AND DIMENSION OF amnesty supporters possible involvement w/ foreign governments.
NO AMNESTY UNTIL WE KNOW THE SCOPE AND DIMENSION OF administration officials' communiques w/ foreign govts WRT amnesty.
NO AMNESTY UNTIL WE KNOW THE SCOPE AND DIMENSION OF financial deals amnesty supporters might have with foreign governments.
NO AMNESTY until The Hispanic Caucus is scrutinized WRT its sconnections with foreign governments.
(1) Americans demand to see emails, phone records, all means of communication legislators have with foreign governments. (2) Americans demand to hear testimony under oath from groups like "Voto Latino" and other Third World pressure groups lobbying Capitol Hill----and the scope of their financing from foreign governments.
These published accounts are only the tip of the iceberg---to distract us from the massive crimes being committed. God only knows the financial bombs planted in govt budgets that jetstream tax dollars offshore through infinity.
The secrecy should be unveiled. Americans demand Hispanic Caucus, Voto Latino, La Raza, and like groups, come up with complete records of their activities: (1) checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) bank account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, employment contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other govt books or records.
Scrutinize govt bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) request for withdrawals.
The media should begin digging----report monies paid to (a) brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers, and the like.
Americans then have standing to sue banks holding monies found to be covering up govt fraud.
REFERENCE According to RICO laws, Menendez should lose everything. He used his authority and his elected office as a criminal empire.
Under RICO laws, the meaning of racketeering activity is at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended, it is all-encompassing and includes: Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and several other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
Embezzlement of union funds; Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud; Drug trafficking;uyh65rdc lk Long-term and elaborate drug networks can be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute; Criminal copyright infringement;
Money laundering and related offenses; Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (when the action is for financial gain);
Acts of terrorism........all are prosecutable under RICO laws.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Post is considering selling its 63-year-old downtown headquarters.
The Post (http://tinyurl.com/bcqlade) reports that Publisher Katharine Weymouth made the announcement in an email to staff Friday morning. She says the company's goal is to find "a more modern, bright, open and efficient building."
Weymouth says The Post isn't tied to the location at 15th and L streets, Northwest, because its printing presses have not been located there for more than a decade.
The District of Columbia government assesses The Post's properties at nearly $80 million. Weymouth's memo says the company has not yet decided on where or when it might move.
Some other major metropolitan newspapers have moved out of or leased their buildings, driven by industry struggles and the value of urban real estate.

January 8, 2000 - 4:00PM to 7:00PM
January 15, 2000 - 4:00PM to 7:00PM
Event Location:
Poets House, Spring Street
This two-part workshop will explore the rewards and pitfalls of writing about family, using Louise Glück's trenchant volume, Ararat, as a guide. Home is often the site of the keenest experiences of love and communion, and the source of the deepest wounding. How do poets reconcile this fact in their work? The first session will be a discussion of Ararat and key issues in writing about family, including truthtelling, self-censorship, family skeletons, and sentimentality. The second session will be devoted to student work.

How can I see the SOA when performing switching in continuous pulses?
Latest Updated:03/01/2011
The data sheet prescribes the safe operating area (SOA) for a single-shot pulse, but not for continuous pulses. How may I see the SOA when performing switching using continuous pulses?
When using continuous pulses, you need to calculate the channel temperature (Tch) and make sure that it does not exceed the rated value. Also, you need to check that you are operating within the SOA of each individual pulse.

We've built a very nice platform to create, publish and play HTML5 games using just a browser, called Gameleon. The overall idea is to have everything built visually, online, using a browser. You can download the platform's virtual machine running a MMORPG server, and publish the content from the cloud onto the system with a single click. In many ways, from administration, to publishing and even monetizing, this is "WordPress for game creators" Furthermore, this is Open Source. The realm itself is open source and we want to release an API to integrate with the editor, to add your own functionality and features to it. If you're thinking the games can run just in the browser, we have some nice experiments on the pipeline aimed at exporting native apps for iOS and Android. You can find out all about us visiting our homepage or our Kickstarter campaign.

The response on Tour to the new AP1, AP2, CB and MB (712 series) irons has been overwhelmingly positive, with many of our Titleist Brand Ambassadors putting the irons straight in the bag after initial testing. Nick Watney (AP2), Chris Kirk (CB) and Scott Stallings (AP2) have each won on Tour since putting the new irons in play – performance validation at its best.Given the buzz surrounding the new product introduction on Tour, we have received many comments and questions about differences between the new and previous generation Titleist irons. In an effort to address some of these questions, we'd like to take you "under the hood" of the new AP irons to illustrate how our most Advanced Performance technology to date is poised to help the games of serious golfers.The new AP irons (712 Series) feature advanced multi-material designs that provide the high performance ball flight, stability, looks, feel and sound preferred by serious golfers. The new designs have been improved with internal weighting that utilizes a higher density tungsten material in order to distribute mass more efficiently. Redistributing the weight in this manner increases the moment of inertia (MOI) of the club without increasing the blade length. This means the new AP irons are more forgiving yet do not lose any workability or shot control. The higher MOI designs of both the new AP1 and AP2 irons produce more consistent balls speeds over a larger area of the face, leading to better distance control.Chris McGinley, Vice President of Marketing for Titleist Golf Clubs, says "good iron play is all about distance control. Increasing the MOI of the AP irons allows golfers to be more consistent with their irons shots, leading to more and better scoring opportunities.""Traditionally, high MOI has been achieved by increasing the size of the club head," adds Marni Ines, Director of Titleist Irons Development. "By concentrating weight in very specific locations with the high density tungsten, we can offer our most playable irons to date without sacrificing the workability that our target golfers demand."Be sure to click on the image below to take a closer look at the construction of the new Titleist AP irons.

Faculty Services
Faculty may refer or require students to use the studio in a variety of ways.
The director or writing studio staff can:
- provide brief talks introducing students to our services
- provide tours of the Studio services to your class--just call and schedule
- provide you with materials or discuss strategies for assigning, evaluating and improving student writing in your discipline
- collaborate with faculty (the director's teaching schedule permitting) on providing an in-class writing workshop during which your students can work on drafts of assigned papers with our guidance and carefully designed peer editing
- provide grammar handbooks and other writing resources and handouts
- "carry" copies of your writing-related texts and assignments for your student use in the Studio
- share with your students copies of your assignment and information about your writing standards and expectations if you send those to us.
- recommend ways to incorporate a studio visit into your assignment or the grading. For example, you might use a sliding scale if you assign extra credit to a student who visits. You could give 5 extra points if they visit three or more days before an assignment's due; 3 extra points if they visit two days before it's due; 1 point if they visit the day before.
