Mafia Don Turns Public Snitch in Mob First
Mob boss Joseph Massino testified against successor.
April 13, 2011 -- For the first time in American organized crime history, a former Mafia don testified in open court against his successor, becoming the highest-ranking gangster to break the mob's sacred code of silence on the stand.
"Vinny told me that he had killed him," Joseph "Big Joey" Massino told a Brooklyn court Tuesday, referring to an alleged jailhouse confession by Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano. Basciano, the head of the secretive Bonanno family, is accused of ordering the murder of an associate that had fallen out of favor in 2004. He is already serving a life sentence from a previous conviction.
Massino said that in 2005 Basciano told him he killed gangster Randolph Pizzolo because Basciano said Pizzolo was "a scumbag, a rat, a troublemaker, a bad kid."
Though Massino continues his testimony today, one official familiar with the case told ABC News his colorful testimony has already been helpful to the prosecution.
In addition to fingering Basciano, the 68-year-old Massino candidly answered the prosecutor's questions about his time at the head of the family.
As a boss, Massino said he was responsible for spotting talent -- whether in killing or in racketeering -- in the mob ranks and promoting and demoting captains.
"Some people, they kill. Some people, they earn.... It takes all kinds of meat to make a good sauce," Massino said. He said that he was known as "The Ear" because his men would never say his name aloud, out of suspicion of FBI surveillance, and would instead touch their ear to refer to him.
Massino said he joined the family business in 1977. He is serving two life terms for after a 2004 conviction for multiple murders, including ordering the payback killing of the mobster who brought famed undercover FBI agent Donnie Brasco into the mob in the 1980s.
Basciano's lawyer, George Goltzer, told the court in his opening statement Basciano did not order the killing for which he is accused, but falsely admitted doing so to protect a friend. Goltzer also warned against taking Massino and others slated to testify against Basciano at their word.
"The United States government needs to make deals with the devil," Goltzer said. "You don't have to accept what they say."
Experts: Mob Dying With 'Omerta'
Massino, who has cooperated with investigators since his 2004 conviction but had never taken the stand against a boss, said he knew he was violating the mob's sacred code of silence, or "omerta."
"Once a bullet leaves that gun, you never talk about it," Massino told the court.
Massino testified that he had worn a wire for federal investigators when talking to Basciano in prison.
Despite his high rank, Massino was flipped "just like anyone else," according to former FBI agent and ABC News consultant Brad Garrett.
"You make a case against someone and then you flip them," Garrett said. "I think that he's probably decided that [cooperating is] the only way to save himself from spending the rest of his life in prison."
Massino said in court that he hoped his cooperation could get him a reduced sentence.
"One day, maybe I'll see a light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
Massino's breach of omerta is hardly the first.
When the FBI rounded up more than 125 suspected mobsters in January, investigators said the death of omerta was integral to the operation.
Those cases were "the cumulative result of years of investigative work, including the development of key cooperating witnesses -- a trend that has definitely been tipping in favor of law enforcement," Janice Fedarcyk, assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York Division, said at the time.
To mob experts, the rampant snitching is just another symptom of a mafia that's well past its prime.
"Most people's perception of traditional organized crime, from 'The Godfather' to 'The Sopranos', that's an era that has passed," Garrett said.
After the January arrests, author and mob expert George Anastasia told ABC News law enforcement has beaten the mob down.
"Thirty or 40 years ago, organized crime, La Cosa Nostra, was a major player in the underworld. Their impact was greater, they made more money and the public payed a bigger price for what they were doing... As they've gotten hit again and again and again with indictments and prosecutions and as they've turned on one another, their influence has deteriorated and they don't have the same kind of impact they used to have," Anastasia said. "They just don't have the power."

Fagbenle has earned six weekly awards from the Ivy League this season (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Temi Fagbenle, who was named to the San Diego State Surf 'N Slam Classic All-Tournament team after averaging 17.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg over the weekend, earned Ivy League Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors on Monday.
Fagbenle also swept the Ancient Eight's weekly awards on Dec. 17 and is the first student-athlete to do so twice in the same season since Penn's Alyssa Baron in 2010-11. The London, England, native has now won six Ivy League honors on the year, twice being named player of the week and earning rookie of the week four times. Harvard has picked up nine of the conference's 16 weekly awards this season and has won at least one award each week it has competed.
Fagbenle turned in her second straight double-double, her third of the year, with a career-high 18 points and 10 rebounds against No. 14/13 Oklahoma State on Friday. She was 7-of-12 from the floor, 1-of-1 from three and 3-of-3 from the line. Fagbenle then posted 16 points and eight boards against SMU on Sunday and set a career-high with four blocks.
Harvard returns to action Wednesday, Jan. 2 as it plays host to UMass at 7 p.m. in Lavietes Pavilion.

Anyone familiar with Thomas Bernhard's work can call forth a string of adjectives, one more off-putting than the last: bleak, anguished, splenetic, death-obsessed. Correction is about a scientist who kills himself after spending six years constructing a bizarre monument to his sister. The Loser focuses on a musician so lost in Glenn Gould's shadow that silence, followed by suicide, seems the only logical choice. The Lime Works tells the story of the murder of a wheelchair-bound woman by her monomaniacal husband. And so on. Coupled with Bernhard's uninterrupted blocks of text and digressive ranting against the loathsomeness of Austria, these morbid plots hardly offer the most welcome invitation for those who don't habitually dress all in black or aren't given to self-flagellation.
Fortunately, for all of its easily identifiable Bernhardian preoccupations—its suicides and murderers, its haunted characters—the previously untranslated story collection Prose provides, in miniature, both an ideal introduction and a refresher to the work of one of the singular European writers of the twentieth century.
A typical Bernhard story (both in Prose and in his novels) takes the form of a report or confession of narrator who witnesses the dissolution of another character's mind—as Ben Marcus argues, Bernhard is less a narrative storyteller than an "architect of consciousness." The narrator serves as a filter through which the victim1 pours his defense, which, at this remove takes on a deeply ironic aspect. By keeping the subject at arm's length, Bernhard can create an at times unbearable tension: does the distance save the reader from identifying fully with the victim1 or does it cause us to suffer more due to the fact that Bernhard's narrators are themselves sufferers by proxy, thus magnifying the amount of anguish a book can contain?
The sixth of seven stories in this collection, the excruciatingly ironic "The Crime of an Innsbruck Shopkeeper's Son," offers a prime example of this technique. The titular character, the narrator's fellow student and roommate, is driven to desperation by being different, a dividing line drawn between him and his family:
Georg was an exception. He was the center of attention, but thanks to his worthlessness, thanks to the scandal which he represented for the whole family, always frightened and embittered by him, not least where they tried to cover it up, a horribly crooked and crippled center of attention, which they wanted out of the house at all costs. He was so greatly and in the most dreadful way deformed by nature they always had to hide him. After they had been disappointed down to the depths of their faecal and victual detestableness by the doctors' skills and by medical science altogether, they implored in mutual perfidiousness a fatal illness for Georg, which would remove him from the world as swiftly as possible; they had been prepared to do anything, if he would just die . . .
The "scandal" Georg causes, we find, is due more to his intelligence than a mysterious deformity: being born into a merchant family, this "useless, ever deeper and deeper thinking beast" who "even wrote poems," deviated too much from the rigid stupidity of the shopkeeping class. As in a fairy tale, Georg's murderous family conspires to rid themselves of this nuisance. Despite his perceived monstrosity, Georg proves himself strong enough to overcome his family's evil designs and flees to Vienna.
In a fairy tale, such an escape signals a happy resolution. In Bernhard's stories it signals the point at which any similarity to a fairy tale falls apart. There's no redemption in this universe. Escape is only exchange, in this case one prison, the family cellar at Innsbruck, for another: Vienna, "the most dreadful of all old cities of Europe . . . such an old and lifeless city . . . such a cemetery." And, since Georg once again finds himself claustrophobically entombed, he commits his final, and in the eyes' of his family, unpardonable crime.
"The Crime of an Innsbruck Shopkeeper's Son" and five other of the stories in Prose fall into the basic pattern above: a highly subjective secondhand report on the crime of a hypersensitive character. The irony being, of course, that the perpetrators of the so-called crimes are in fact victims of grave and at times obscure injustices themselves—and justice's blindness serves only as a convenient excuse for its idiocy. This is typical Bernhard, surprising only in its relentlessness.
In the two remaining stories—"The Cap" and "Juaregg"—Bernhard deviates from his typical distance (if not pattern) by presenting confessions without an intermediary. In "The Cap," the narrator, suffering from a "_pathological nature_," is so incapable of action that even the decision to go for a walk proves to be an unrelenting torment. Even more unbearable than action, however, is twilight, at which time he flees the house in terror to walk in either of two directions: toward an ugly town or toward a beautiful town. Imagine then his overwhelming consternation when he finds a cap on the road leading toward the ugly town and assumes the proper course would be to attempt to return it to its owner. But to whom does the cap belong? Is it a woodcutter's or a butcher's or even a farmer's cap? And what if he puts it on? But he has no right to put it on, for he is not a farmer, a butcher, or a woodcutter. And what color is the cap?
These questions cascade over him, inordinately agitating his already fragile mental state. He wants nothing more than a life without complications, but such an eventless existence is impossible for someone in his state. Like many of Bernhard's characters, the narrator in "The Cap" suffers so much precisely because he is not mad. He believes that by going mad he would manage to escape his anguish:
But the truth is that I want to go mad, I want to go mad, nothing I want more, than really go mad, but I fear that I am far from being able to go mad. I at last want to go mad! I don't want to be only afraid of going mad, I at last want to go mad. Two doctors, one of whom is a highly scientific doctor, have prophesied that I shall go mad, very soon I would go mad, the two doctors prophesied, very soon, very soon; now I've been waiting two years for it to happen, to go mad, but I still haven't gone mad.
This breathless, hysterical desire is merely another form of madness and bars the way to any escape. This is the fate of Bernhard's characters: a crazed desire for insanity or suicide, both options being viewed as an end to suffering. To go on living is possible, of course, but always with the awareness that "We are at liberty to kill ourselves."
A friend and I, both booksellers, were recently discussing a curious compulsion we feel when recommending "depressing" books: we find that we search, almost unconsciously, to find something palatable on which to focus our enthusiasm. This is natural enough in sales, I suppose, but nonetheless troubling. In the case of Bernhard, for instance, I find myself explaining that while his work is, well, almost unbearably grim, there's comedy and pathos in it as well. This is true—Bernhard is a savagely hysterical writer—but highlighting it obscures a fundamental characteristic of his, and many of our best writers', work: the acknowledgement that life is itself not particularly palatable. This isn't to say life, and by extension superior works of art, aren't graced by moments of remarkable beauty, but by focusing only on the "nice" we risk shutting ourselves off from the fullness of experience.
Bernhard offers us such a discomforting vision. In the story "Is it a Comedy? Is it a Tragedy?" his narrator offers an opinion that "one describes best what one hates." Our literature is much richer for this assumption.
1 Everyone in Bernhard's fiction is a victim, whether of a bad childhood, failed ambitions, or simply of having been born: "The catastrophe," Prince Sarau reports in Gargoyles, "begins with getting out of bed."

Rumor: NY Knicks or bust for Carmelo Anthony?
Several sources told Yahoo! Sports that Carmelo Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, has recently begun informing teams that the All-Star forward is interested in signing a contract extension with only the New York Knicks.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Carmelo Anthony's representatives are confirming the worst secret in sports. One way or another, the three-man will play for the New York Knicks.
Forget the Chicago Bulls or New Jersey Nets; same with the Denver Nuggets. Anthony has his heart set on Madison Square Garden.
The only thing left to be settled is when and how much: when will the All-Star suit up in New York? And how much will it cost the player and team?
Anthony's representatives have hurt his trade value by making it known he'll only sign an extension with the Knicks.
This changes Anthony's situation, making him a two month rental for most teams since he can become a free agent in July. Perhaps a contender with a closing championship window, like Mark Cuban's Dallas Mavericks, makes a deal before the February 24th trade deadline.
Perhaps the Knicks and Nuggets end this Melo-drama by swinging a deal before the deadline. The Knicks and Anthony would, of course, agree on an extension.
Here's the most likely scenario: Anthony ends up waiting for the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to be settled, opts out of his contract and becomes a free agent, and promptly signs with the Knicks.
After all, why would the Knicks sacrifice young assets like Wilson Chandler and Landry Fields in a trade for Anthony when they can simply sign him this summer?
There is a twist. Signing with the Knicks as a free agent will cost Anthony. The new CBA will reduce the value of every NBA contract, including those given to superstars. Anthony will bank several million dollars if he can get to New York and agree to an extension before season's end.
One way or another, Anthony will be a Knick. Timing and money are all that is left to be settled.

2 charged in Oriskany Falls gas station burglary
ORISKANY FALLS -- State police have charged two individuals connected with a Dec. 28 burglary at Nassimos CO-OP Gas Station on North Main Street in Oriskany Falls.
Benjamin Wivell, 17, of Deansboro, was charged with one count third-degree burglary. He is one of the two individuals who police say committed the burglary.
Also, 17-year-old Brian Albright from Oriskany Falls was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
Police say Albright was not involved in the burglary, but was in possession of stolen goods.
Earlier this week, police were searching for two individuals who broke into the business around 2 a.m., and stole several items, including beer and lighters. They were in the store for about 10 to 15 minutes before leaving.
State police were able to provide still images taken from video surveillance footage for help in identifying the individuals.
Friday morning, police said an investigation was ongoing and that more arrests would be made.

On eve of Election Day, how unaffiliated voters break in 6th District is key to victory
After months of fierce TV advertising and feisty debates, voters of the 6th Congressional District now have the final say as to who will represent them when the 113th Congress commences in January.
Will it be Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman or Democratic state Rep. Joe Miklosi? Perhaps unaffiliated candidate Kathy Polhemus or Libertarian candidate Patrick Provost could pull an upset, or at least draw a substantial number of votes in what will likely be a close contest.
As of Monday morning the number of mail-in and early votes cast in the district consist of 80,183 Democrats, 91,152 Republicans and 62,624 unaffiliated.
How will those unaffiliated voters break is the question.
The once GOP-stronghold became much more competitive last year during redistricting as it was realigned to have an electorate divided almost evenly between Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters.
From the economy to Medicare and women's rights issues, Coffman and Miklosi duked it out in several debates during the month of October, and with the district's new found competitiveness groups like the Democratic Congressional Campaign and National Republican Congressional Committee have poured almost $5 million into the race.

A tiny feisty Chihuahua 'with serious anger issues' bit two police officers in Lurgan in the early hours of this morning.
Named Nigel by one of the officers, he was found running around the streets of Lurgan and 'he didn't want to play ball'.
PSNI Craigavon said they arrested the tiny terror for jay walking, disorderly behaviour and two counts of assault on police.
In a comedic post with the dog's photo, the PSNI Craigavon said: "This is Nigel the chihuahua. Nigel was named by Wee N, who thinks that 'he looks like a Nigel'.
"We stopped with him at around 3.30am on Ashleigh Crescent whilst on patrol of the Avenue Road area of Lurgan.
"Nigel didn't want to play ball.
"He was subsequently arrested for jay walking, disorderly behaviour and two counts of assault on police. He's got serious anger issues, and bit myself AND Big T. Wee N found this hilarious.
"Normally I'd make a joke about keeping him as a new Police Dog if no one claims him.
"Not Nigel. He's an angry wee man and is seriously anti police!
"He wasn't wearing a collar and seemed to be coming from the Avenue Road towards Orient Circle or Carrick Drive."
The PSNI made an appeal to find the owner as the little dog was sleeping on one of the officer's jackets 'which I have a feeling he's not going to let me have back'.
"Share this or tag any chihuahua owners you know. The incident number is 173 of 19/04/17. The owner will need to call up the station to get him...soon...please...
"By the way, in this photo he's in the drivers seat. MY seat. He chased me out of my own police car!! Angry wee so and so.
"Of course, the main thing is that Nigel is safe. The roads are no place for a wee lad like him to be wandering at 3.30am."
Facebookers were asked to share the post and within half an hour the owner was located.
Turns out his name is Simba, after The Lion King.
PSNI Craigavon said: "Good news! Nigel, aka Simba, has been picked up and is away home.
"He certainly thinks he is a lion.
"Simba. Hmmm. He certainly wasn't feeling the love tonight.
"Thanks for the shares to spread the word and get him home. Facebook wins again."

Let $M$ be $S^7$ with an exotic smooth structure. Since one can smoothen maps, there exist smooth maps $f:S^7\to M$ which are homotopic to the identity (relative to a base point, if you want).
Can one make explicit one such map? Can such a map be an homeomorphism?
Little addendum. The smooth homeomorphism constructed in Ryan's answer below is of course not a diffeomorphism.
Does one have some control on the non-smooth locus of the inverse of smooth homeomorphims, or on the type of their non-smoothness there?
The inverse of Ryan's map is non-smooth only at the bad pole and I guess the initial map $h$ arises as the "conical differential" of the map there, so the singularity there is pretty bad. Maybe one can find other smooth homeomorphisms whose inverse has a larger non-smooth locus but with tamer non-smoothness there?

Philip Breslaw was a German conjurer who came to England in the early 1760's. Houdini, in his unmasking of Robert Houdin, quoted newspaper clippings in his collection, dated 1781, showing that Breslaw featured the "Cabalistic Clock" and demonstrations of "Second-Sight," both later claimed by Robert-Houdin as his originations.
Programs and newspaper ads proclaim that Breslaw would give puzzling performances utilizing such objects as rings, sleeve buttons, purses, swords, cards, dice, thoughts, watches, numbers, and a leg of mutton. His effect with the last item may be best left to imagination. This excerpt, which comes from the Forward of this neat little book, gives you an idea of thetreat that you are in for when reading through this reprint. It has paradoxes and many effectsof the late, great, Breslaw. Treat yourself to this 144 page hardbound treat.

Building a Healthy Pantry, Part 2
Click here to make an appointment with a dietitian
When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how much salt, sugar and fat is going into your food. And to cook healthfully, you need to stock up on the good-for-you staples like healthy oils, whole wheat breads and flours, and more.
In this video, Nora Saul, M.S., R.D., C.D.E., Manager of Nutrition Services at Joslin, takes you through the ingredients you need to build yourself a healthy pantry.
- Whole grain flour for white flour
- Whole grain bread for white bread
- Brown rice for white rice
White breads, flours, and rices are highly processed, which strips away many of the foods' vitamins and minerals. Whole grain, unprocessed versions have a much higher nutritional value.
You don't need to get rid of the less healthy versions of these foods all at once, but substituting them out a few nights a week will help you get on your way to better control.

Are you suffering from any types of arthritis, Bursitis and rheumatism or joint pain, or Raynaud's disease, or Lupus, or Carpal Tunnel disease? Are you trying to control your diabetic symptom, or increase blood flow in your body, or fighting with chronic fatigue? If you are, Far Infrared Therapy can help.
Far Infrared Therapy uses the benefits of Far Infrared light to help regulate your body and relieve the pain and various symptoms associated those conditions. Far Infrared light has been shown to be of great therapeutic effects to living cells. Among other benefits, Far infrared light has been shown to:
Far infrared clothing, which are made from Far Infrared emitting fiber and can emits low dosage of Far Infared thermo energy, made it possible to let people experience the far infrared therapy 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to help regulate the body all day long. Far Infrared clothing encompasses far infrared undergarments, Far Infrared Therapy Gloves, far infrared knee band (or knee braces), far infrared shapewear, far infrared socks, waist belt, etc. They can be applied to your whole body or a particular part of the body.
Alternative Medicine's Description of Far Infrared Light
Far-infrared wavelengths fall just below (what the infra means) visible red light in the electromagnetic spectrum. At the molecular level, Far Infrared light exerts strong rotational and vibrational effects that are biologically beneficial.
Although the wavelengths of Far Infrared light are too long to perceive by the naked eyes, we can experience its energy as gentle, radiant heat, which can penetrate up to [3.5] inches beneath the skin. Among FIR's healing benefits is its ability to stimulate inflammation, which is necessary for a period of time to heal injuries (such as a pulled muscle). Far Infrared light is also capable of enhancing white blood cell function, thereby increasing immune response and eliminating foreign pathogens and cellular waste products in the body. Additional benefits of FIR include the ability to stimulate the hypothalamus, which controls the production of neurochemicals, which is involved in such biological processes as sleep, mood, pain sensations, and blood pressure; enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the body's soft tissue areas; and the removing accumulated toxins by improving lymph circulation.
Alternative Medicine, pg 670.
Far Infrared Therapy or Infrared Therapy has been tested in many trials and research studies. For a review of the research publications, please check out our FIR review report.

Hors Classe "Tournant de Pouilly" 2009 - Wine
Hors Classe "Tournant de Pouilly"
Situated in the northern part of Fuissé on the borders of the hamlet of Pouilly, the east-facing Tournant de Pouilly vineyard covers a hectare of gentle slope.
Vineyards' age
The median age of the vines is 50 years.
The soil, which is derived from the light marls of the Dogger, consists of deep, limestone-rich silt and clay containing few stones from the Dogger bank.
While the nose is initially subtle, it opens up to display a rich palette of aromas that range from toasted almonds to lime blossom, while notes of beeswax become apparent as the wine ages. The palate is voluptuously rich, although precisely balanced by a streak of minerality that leaves an overall impression of purity. The finish is particularly long and intense. This wine ages well for a minimum of 10 to 15 years.
Wine and food pairing
Spiced scallops with noodles, turbot with hollandaise sauce, John Dory with Szechuan pepper, chicken with morels, aged Comté.

One great thing about design books? Even after reading them, they look cool arranged on shelves and coffee tables. Here are two that recently caught my eye.
"The Home Decorator's Color & Texture Bible: 180 complete schemes for a harmonious home," by Adrienne Chinn ($29.95, Firefly Books).
This stout, 256-page spiral-bound reference gets at one of the top issues plaguing do-it-yourself decorators: How do we mix and match color, pattern and texture without the result looking like an explosion in Candy Land? The introduction encourages the reader to exploit color to personalize a space and enhance its architectural graces. A quick primer on the color wheel and then off we go into seemingly endless combinations of flooring and fabrics. This book is a keeper because it sparks new ideas from one room to the next, and from one home to the next.
"Colin Cower Chic: The guide to life as it should be," by Colin Cowie ($30, Clarkson Potter)
It's hard to avoid being skeptical of Oprah-made celebrity, or of celebrities who pass themselves off as design experts when their cred mostly consists of shopping at Barneys New York. But Colin Cowie has legitimate style chops and is the definition of dapper. His book's cool brown croc cover, gorgeous photography and voyeuristic view inside the life of an A-List party planner is irresistible. He meant the book to be a guide to living every day with style regardless of whether you're tippling with friends or trying to impress the boss. Highlights include yummy cocktail recipes, like Sgroppino made with Prosecco, vodka and lemon sorbet, and tips for making yourself indispensable around the office.

May The Force be with 7-year-old Max Page, the adorable kid from the 2011 Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial, as he checks into the Children's Hospital Los Angeles today. Max has a congenital heart defect, and today he'll have a hole in his heart fixed and his pulmonary valve replaced.
Max's mother Jennifer says that Max is "very sad" he'll spend the summer resting and recovering instead of playing baseball, golf and traveling. He asked her to "fun up" the house. So Max, his mom and his brother Els have redesigned each room "with a theme, special rules and secret codes."
In the Library (Els Room) we have to read with flashlights. On Whisper Lane (the hallway) you have to whisper. Going up the stairs you have to sing "Take me out to the ball game". The most favorite is the garage-Explode Zone-science experiments and art projects, the messier the better.
Jennifer also says:
Last night, I wanted to make sure he was doing as well as he seemed. He said, "Mom I don't have a choice. I have to go through it. I don't like it and it's still scary-but I have to. So I think I might as well go through it with a good attitude." So as we hop on Max's coattails to go on this ride-we too, shall do it with a good attitude.

"When local restaurant owner Aaron Phillips heard about the restaurant's closure, he knew he had to carry on the tradition," said Kassandra "Kassie" Dague, Truckstop's general manager. "Just like the rest of us, he'd eaten there innumerable times and always remembered it as the place around the corner where you could go get a great pancake breakfast and as much coffee as your heart desired."
Dague said Phillips was determined to give disheartened locals a place to call home again.
"So he decided to open Truckstop, a no-fuss, no-frills eatery that still offers great taste and craft," she said, noting Truckstop's menu offers pancakes "as big as a pie" and benedicts "to repent for."
Formerly a bartender, Phillips has since become a full-on restaurateur.
"I was a bartender in PB at 10 or 15 different bars, including Hennessey's, Moondoggies and PB Bar & Grill," said Phillips, who saved his money and bought his first establishment, The Wood (formerly Hooters) at 4190 Mission Blvd. about six years ago.
"I turned that around from losing money to doing fairly well," said Phillips, claiming networking as his key to success.
"I brought along the best bartenders in town and trained a lot of new ones," he said. His objective, he said, was to create "a friendly neighborhood vibe."
"It's all about the atmosphere, having good food and drinks and a friendly staff, people that care," he said.
Phillips has since purchased and is operating the Red Saloon below The Wood, a country bar in a space that was once a fitness boxing gym.
Phillips also owns Woody's Breakfast and Burgers (formerly Woody's on the Boardwalk) at 4111 Ocean Blvd. in Mission Beach.
Approached by a beachfront landlord, who prefers to remain anonymous, about a business opportunity when The Eggery in the Promenade at Pacific Beach strip mall on Mission Boulevard became available, Phillips said he jumped at the chance. He bought The Eggery and finished out the summer before closing the last few weeks for remodeling.
Truckstop was chosen as the new name for the establishment, said Phillips, because he just wanted to "get something real American" in the name.
Promising to bring something new and different to Pacific Beach, Phillips said he intends to offer comfort food at Truckstop.
"It's stuff your grandma makes," Phillips said of offerings like braised short ribs and mashed potatoes with carrots and peas, fried chicken and sugar-and-spice salmon.
"It's all-American cuisine," he said. "It's all stuff that makes you feel good like your grandma cooked it."
Speaking of which, Phillips said his grandmother was a great cook whom he learned and borrowed from and whose recipes live on in Truckstop's menu.
Dague pointed out the Truckstop menu is loaded with new flavors like a tri-tip skillet and a peanut butter and jelly French toast.
But Phillips decided to keep a few of the old favorites on the menu "as a tribute to The Eggery and so that the regulars had something familiar to come home to."
Unlike The Eggery, Truckstop will be open for dinner, as well.
"Day by day, we can give Pacific Beach something new to talk about," said Phillips. "Hopefully, the Truckstop will be another example of what a little elbow grease and a great menu can do for a place."
The Truckstop is located at 4150 Mission Blvd. Call (858) 274-8785 for more information.

Shockey saves choking teammate's life at lunch
Jeremy Shockey may no longer be a Saint but he is very much a hero in the eyes of teammate Ben Hartsock.
Shockey, who left the New Orleans Saints for the Carolina Panthers in the offseason, came to the rescue of Hartsock, who began choking while eating lunch at the team facility on Tuesday.
According to the National Football Post, Hartsock was eating pork tenderloin when a piece of the meat got lodged in his throat. The Panthers tight end drank water to try to dislodge the food, but that didn't work and he couldn't breathe.
Enter fellow tight end Shockey.
"(Hartsock) started to go to the bathroom and I don't know if he collapsed, but he couldn't breathe," agent Mike McCartney told the NFP. "Some new guy came and tried to give him the Heimlich. It didn't work. Then, Shockey hit him in the back pretty hard and out came the meat. The Panthers told me it was really scary."
"Ben told me, 'Shockey came over and gave me the Heimlich Maneuver and saved my life,'" McCartney added. "He was in good spirits and he's real thankful for Shockey."
Shockey himself has had two offseason health scares. Last year in New Orleans, he was rushed to the hospital after suffering a seizure in the Saints' weight room. And before the 2009 training camp began, he had to be hospitalized after passing out from dehydration at a party in Las Vegas.
Amazingly, Shockey's food-dislodging move on Tuesday was not the only one in the sports world this week. According to the Washington Post, Nationals beer vendor Emmanuel Marlow performed the Heimlich and saved a young fan who was choking on food at a game in D.C. on Thursday.
As for Hartsock, he may have nearly died but the episode was ammunition for his amused teammates, who began a new rallying cry at practice: "Don't choke, Hartsock!"

Greg Sandow has been posting a number of blogposts about Branding, but a comment made on his facebook page1 by Frances-Marie Uitti really get's it right!
Instead of studying how to brand oneself, why not take the time to find an original voice? Branding will happen all by itself.
As I replied:
thank you so much for saying that Frances-Marie Uitti –coming from one of the most unique voices in new music and the cello world, it means much more! <—so says the cellist dressed as a Klingon, and knows a bit about unique ways of branding… 😉
Worrying about your Brand before you have a unique voice is putting the cart before the horse. And if a cellist ever had a unique voice, then Frances-Marie Uitti certainly fits the bill. Ever since I discovered her work back in the mid 90s I frequently did presentations about her and other cellists that are doing interesting work2 at the Chello Shed3.

Parchester Village Residents Fight to Preserve Breuner Marsh, Open Space
On a hill rising high above San Pablo Bay, Whitney Dotson stared out at an expanse of marshland along the eastern shore and could still see himself and his brother, Richard, as kids swimming in the grassy marsh channels in the early 1960s.
Dotson, who grew up and lives in historically African American Parchester Village nearby, is one of multiple generations of African Americans who have spent time in Breuner Marsh and now want to preserve the land.
Sharply dressed in a green shirt and small round sunglasses, the stout, 59-year-old community activist gave tours of Breuner Marsh and nearby Point Pinole on a recent Saturday at a Richmond Shoreline Festival, which included a barbecue and live band.
The festival was part of an ongoing struggle between the landowners, who want to develop the 238-acre plot of land on the North Richmond Shoreline, and festival organizers, including Parchester Village residents and environmentalists, who want to protect it as open space.
"It's become a very important amenity," he said. "Just having the serenity of this whole area and being removed from the larger city."
Bay Area Wetlands LLC, the company that purchased the land in 2000, is fielding bids from developers for the site. Meanwhile, environmentalists want to protect an extremely rare undeveloped marshland along San Francisco Bay, as well as its endangered species.
"From the Sierra Club's perspective, so much of the bay has been filled and so much of the wetlands have been lost," said Jonna Papaefthimiou of the San Francisco Bay Sierra Club and the North Richmond Shoreline Open Space Alliance. The alliance, which organized the shoreline festival, was formed last year to preserve Breuner Marsh.
Residents of nearby Parchester Village want to protect the environment, but also want to see Breuner Marsh, which lies just across the railroad tracks from the predominantly African American community, protected for their community.
Parchester Village was developed after World War II for African Americans who moved to Richmond to work in the shipyards and could not buy houses elsewhere. It was built on the donated land of founder Fred Parr, a white developer. Local residents say that it is the first African American homeowners' community in the Bay Area. About 1,000 people live in 400 single-family, one-story homes on this small tract sandwiched between two railroad tracks. It has remained mostly black since it was built, though some Latino families have moved in recently.
Whitney Dotson's father, the late Reverend Richard Daniel Dotson, was one of the early settlers in Parchester in 1950 and became a community leader, organizing to preserve Breuner Marsh and helping to get adjacent Point Pinole turned over to the East Bay Regional Park District.
For years, Whitney Dotson remembers, he and other Parchester young people would hop the railroad tracks and trudge through the pickleweed to get to the marsh channels for swimming. During the 1970s, however, the channels were illegally filled in. But even after that, Breuner Marsh has been a de facto park for residents, said Dotson.
"Every generation of people in Parchester have found some way to use that space," said Dotson. "There's a number of kids over the years who have gone fishing, playing, just observing the wildlife."
Open space is rare in Richmond. Predominantly African-American Northern Richmond, which includes Parchester, has one-third as much open space per capita as Contra Costa County per capita, according to a study by the Oakland-based Pacific Institute.
"If you could see all the development along the shore that's been off limits to us," said Henry Clark, director of the West County Toxics Coalition and a well-known activist against toxic pollution in Richmond. "We want access to Breuner Marsh and the shoreline. The land should be held as a public trust for the people."
Meanwhile, the City of Richmond, with a $35 million budget deficit, needs new revenue desperately. Richmond City Councilmembers, whose approval is required for any development, are waiting to see what Bay Area Wetlands does.
"Breuner Marsh is a beautiful piece of property and it really deserves to be protected," said City Councilmember Maria Viramontes. "And it connects to a large park space at Point Pinole, it creates a unique opportunity to enlarge that park."
Viramontes believe that there is room for a small development on an adjacent area next to Richmond Parkway. However, such a development would depend on what happens with the Breuner property.
"I think most of the [City] Council is pretty clear we want to keep it as open space," she said.
Dotson said he is not opposed to a small restaurant or educational center near Breuner Marsh.
Newly elected first-time City Councilmember Gayle McLaughlin, who also attended the festival, believes that open space is the best use for the space. "If we develop what little open space we have left," she said, "we're going to be in an even worse place in terms of public health."
Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia has also publicly supported keeping the space open.
The land, formerly owned by the Breuner furniture company, has been the subject of battles at least since the 1970s. Gerry Breuner, the former owner, came to stay on the property for weekends or longer vacations, according to Toni Silva, who rented out a cottage on the property from Breuner from late-1980 to 1983.
"It was nice," she said. "He had a tiny pier. We used to go fishing and catch bass and flounder."
The quaint marsh, complete with occasional duck hunters and horses that grazed the land, was almost developed when Breuner tried to build a small private airport on the site in the 1970s. According to Silva, this grew out of Breuner's serious hobby: airplanes. That plan took concerted effort by Parchester residents and environmentalists to shoot down—with residents like Whitney Dotson's father leading the way.
After Breuner died, his family eventually sold the property in 2000 for approximately $3 million.
The current owner, Bay Area Wetlands LLC, and its agent, San Jose-based real estate developer Stan Davis, have in recent years tried different options to sell the land. One plan to build an Edgewater Technology Park came under opposition from Parchester and environmentalists, and was scrapped.
Then Signature Properties bought a six-month option on the site and sought to build housing. But the developer could not get the City Council to re-zone the site from "Open Space-Light Industrial," to residential, so Signature dropped out as well. The City wanted revenue-generating commercial development, not residential development that would require revenue-draining services.
Environmentalists, including the Richmond Environmental Defense Fund, Golden Gate Audubon Society, Save the Bay and others, say that there are very few remaining undeveloped areas along the bay and they are intent on protecting this swath of land. The California clapper rail, a small reddish-brown bird, and the tiny salt marsh harvest mouse are two animals living in Breuner Marsh that are on the federal endangered species list.
Richmond residents also deserve the open space, Papaefthimiou of the Sierra Club said. "Most of the Richmond shoreline has been lost to Chevron or the Navy or another industrial company," she said. "Even though they have a huge shoreline, most is polluted or not accessible to the public."
The lack of open space in Richmond is an environmental justice issue and a form of racial discrimination, said Clark of the Toxics Coalition. "This is on a spiritual level—being by the water. Not having that access is an attack on the life and well-being of this community. We're likely to do whatever is necessary—even to possibly occupying the Breuner Marsh area," he said, adding that he hopes that that does not happen.
The importance Clark places on the struggle over Breuner Marsh speaks to the unusual nature of this environmental battle in Richmond—in that it is an effort to keep open space, rather than the usual one to shut down or stop some major toxic threat.
Talks about the site are now heating up again, as Bay Area Wetlands seeks to sell the property. Environmentalists and Parchester activists want the East Bay Regional Park District to purchase the land, and the agency has made an offer, said Brad Olson, its environmental program manager.
"We've offered to purchase the property," he said. "The property owner is not willing to sell at this point." The parks district owns over 95,000 acres in 65 parks, recreation areas and shorelines and is seeking to add new lands.
Bay Area Wetlands wants to get higher than the market value for the property, and the park district can only purchase it at the currently appraised price, said Olson.
Olson would not comment on how much the parks district bid.
Don Carr, a resident of Napa and one of the owners of the property, would not comment on discussions with potential buyers. "We haven't solidified plans yet," he said.
Carr dismissed the concerns of residents and activists who want to keep the land from being developed. "You know when UC Berkeley was built there were people lobbying at that time not to build it," he said. "There's always people saying things. That's not news. In fact there were a lot of people who didn't want the Bay Bridge."
Stan Davis of Bay Area Wetlands would not comment.
According to Olson, Bay Area Wetlands is weighing at least one other private company's offer and also has been waiting to see what happens with another major Richmond shoreline development at Point Molate.
On Tuesday, Richmond approved selling that property to Upstream Point Molate LLC to build a casino and resort. Even with City Council approval, the outcome of that development is far from clear, with numerous other state and federal approvals needed. But with that deal now approved, and a value now placed on that shoreline property to compare to the Breuner site, a Breuner sale could move forward.
Olson, for his part, says that if the EBRPD were to acquire the property, the site would remain open space. He thinks the chances of any major development on the site are "pretty slim."
"If the [new] proposal is anything like the other concepts—either a large commercial or housing development—there's going to be a lot of opposition from the local community and environmental community," he said.
However, the City Council's approval of the Point Molate casino indicate that development on Richmond open land such as Breuner Marsh is definitely possible—especially if it brings jobs. Activists against development do have two points going for them that Point Molate did not—first, the Breuner property, is close to residential areas such as Parchester, and secondly, the Breuner site has a history of development deals being shot down by community pressure.
Meanwhile, Whitney Dotson hopes Breuner Marsh will be available to his grandchildren and other nearby residents. He imagines them having similar trips out to the marsh, like the ones he had with his brother and friends, enjoying the wildlife and forgetting, for a few minutes, the imposing city nearby.

I have a problem, first the function:
Problem is: there is a delay when the sound keyboard.wav plays that forced me to use "Sleep();".

also is it possible to add a background image to a console program? Is it possible to connect and access the net retrieve search and retrieve information through the net? Is font change possible? I have made a loadscreen function: is it possible to display the load screen all the while program is processing something?
sorry for asking so many questions, it's just that I really want to improve my program and its kind of frustrating to google with no avail.

Andrew Breitbart's media empire undoubtedly posed a threat to the establishment. From the takedown of New York Rep. Anthony Weiner to the outing of the USDA's Shirley Sherrod and very public revelations about the seamy underside of ACORN, Breitbart was considered a thorn in the side of the liberal establishment.
Senators Frank Church and John Tower examine a CIA poison dart gun that causes cancer and heart attacks.
But it was his promise to release information that would critically damage Barack Obama prior to an election that really grabbed the attention of the establishment and possibly led to his assassination.
As firebrand talk show host Michael Savage said following Breitbart's collapse on a Brentwood, California, street and his subsequent death from an apparent heart attack, he would be remiss if he didn't suggest that the liberal gadfly was assassinated. "I'm asking a crazy question," Savage said on his nationally syndicated radio show, "but so what? We the people want an answer. This was not an ordinary man. If I don't ask this question, I would be remiss."
Others insist Breitbart had a history of health issues and simply collapsed and died from a heart attack as thousands of Americans do every day. They say Savage, Alex Jones and many others who posit a Breitbart assassination are engaging in baseless conspiracy theories.
However, we do know that government engages in assassination of political enemies and has the means to do so without leaving a trace.
During Senate testimony in 1975 into illegal activities by the CIA, it was revealed that the agency had developed a dart gun capable of causing a heart attack. "At the first televised hearing, staged in the Senate Caucus Room, Chairman Church dramatically displayed a CIA poison dart gun to highlight the committee's discovery that the CIA directly violated a presidential order by maintaining stocks of shellfish toxin sufficient to kill thousands," a Senate web page explains.
"The lethal poison then rapidly enters the bloodstream causing a heart attack. Once the damage is done, the poison denatures quickly, so that an autopsy is very unlikely to detect that the heart attack resulted from anything other than natural causes. Sounds like the perfect James Bond weapon, doesn't it? Yet this is all verifiable in Congressional testimony," writes Fred Burks.
"The dart from this secret CIA weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. On penetration of the deadly dart, the individual targeted for assassination may feel as if bitten by a mosquito, or they may not feel anything at all. The poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target."
Burks suggests that Mark Pittman, a reporter who predicted the financial crisis and exposed Federal Reserve misdoings which led to a Bloomberg lawsuit against the bankster cartel, may have been assassinated with the CIA weapon.
Of course, Breitbart's untimely death prior to the release of information that would damage the presidential campaign of Obama may be purely coincidental. If he was, however, assassinated with a frozen dart that denatures and leaves no trace, chances are we will never know what really happened to him.

GREATER NOIDA, India - Sebastian Vettel will start from pole position at the Indian Grand Prix, shoring up the Red Bull driver's bid for an almost inevitable fourth straight Formula One title.
Vettel only needs to finish fifth or better Sunday to wrap up the championship with three races remaining, and bettered his own lap record to claim his third straight pole at Buddh International Circuit. The German has won both previous Indian GP races, leading every lap.
He clocked 1 minute, 24.119 seconds to beat his nearest rival by 0.7 seconds.
Nico Rosberg will share the front of the grid after finishing second, with fellow Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton third and Red Bull's Mark Webber fourth.
"It's a very good result for the team with Mark sitting in fourth behind those guys," Vettel said.
Red Bull can also make it the fourth straight double of drivers' and constructors' titles if Ferrari fails to outscore it by more than 19 points.
Felipe Massa starts from fifth, while Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso could only manage eighth.
"I'm starting 8th so I have to recover this position somewhere in the race," Alonso said of his chance of a podium finish. "The soft tires may last with good conditions ... but if the soft are a disaster tomorrow, people in front will have problems."
Romain Grosjean, who was expected to challenge for the podium, was eliminated in the first round of qualifying after Lotus' gamble on sticking with medium tires backfired. The Frenchman will start from 17th on the grid.
"We just missed the cut-off time, everyone went quicker than we thought," Grosjean said. "Today, for some reason, the medium (tires) were not quick enough. It's a decision we took together, we were confident we could do enough with them but we got it wrong."
Vettel and Webber chose differing tire strategies for qualifying, with Vettel electing to use the quicker but fragile soft compound for the third round and race start, and Webber preferring the medium compound.
"Which works out to be the right strategy, we'll find out tomorrow. But the race is long and we'll have plenty of time to make up," Vettel said. "In the end I think the strategy shouldn't determine the result that much."
Vettel has dominated since arriving in India, leading all three practice sessions.
"The car's been very strong since Friday morning," Vettel said. "We didn't have to adjust that much."
Rosberg said Mercedes had pushed his car to its limits to make him as competitive as possible.
"Up to now it's been successful," he said. "On a knife's edge all the time, but for now it's worked and it seems we're a step forward from where we were in recent races."
Hamilton, while happy with qualifying, was pessimistic of his chances of challenging the Red Bulls.
"I'm really happy with the result and the lap time I was able to get. ... We'll try and push these guys as hard as possible in the race obviously," he said. "They're in another world, but we'll try and stay ahead of the rest."
Force India failed to qualify in the top 10 for its home race, with Paul Di Resta and Adrian Sutil eliminated in the second round in 12 and 13th respectively.
The start of the morning third practice session was delayed by 20 minutes after organizers deemed the haze over the track would prevent the race's medical helicopter from flying.
Seasonal atmospheric conditions have produced dense morning mists at Greater Noida, with similar conditions forecast for Sunday.
Massa said visibility was not an issue for the drivers.
"For us it's fine, I think for the helicopter it was a problem."

WASHINGTON – An eighth-grader's research paper, a kindergartner's drawing and a teacher's lesson plan would become the property of the Prince George's County Board of Education if a proposed copyright policy is approved.
The proposal says any work created for school or by using school materials would become property of the school board. Property includes staff work as well as student assignments completed inside and outside the classroom.
Lawrence Sung, an intellectual property rights lawyer and partner with BakerHostetler in D.C, says the legality of the proposal is questionable. He adds it's common for employers to own employee work, but in this case, students are not being paid for their work.
"We always worry about what the slippery slope can be," he says. "If there is no pushback for this at this point and time, you will never know where it will evolve."
Verjeana Jacobs, chair of the Prince George's County Board of Education, tells The Washington Post that the proposal should be re-worded because it is not the board's intention to "declare ownership" of students' work.
"We want the district to get the recognition … not take their work," Jacobs says.
According to the Post, the board approved the policy for consideration at a meeting last month, but took the proposal off the agenda Thursday.
If the board accepts the policy, Prince George's County Public Schools would become the only district in the D.C. area in which the school board owns the work of students and faculty.

The Kansas Chamber of Commerce has spent more than $231,000 this month on mailers and broadcast advertising designed to help conservative candidates in GOP state Senate primaries.
The chamber's political action committee disclosed the spending in a campaign finance report filed this week with the secretary of state's office. A dozen moderate Republican senators face conservative challengers in the Aug. 7 primary.
The biggest donor to the chamber's efforts remains Wichita-based Koch Industries Inc., which contributed $125,000 to the PAC earlier this month. That's more than half of the $228,000 the PAC raised since the beginning of the year.
The chamber reported spending $130,000 on radio and cable television advertising to influence state Senate races and more than $101,000 on printing and postage for mailers.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., passed away from viral pneumonia at the age of 89.
New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg passed away on Monday after struggling with health issues in recent months.
NBC News confirmed that the 89-year-old Democratic senator – the oldest member of the chamber – passed away from viral pneumonia that had sidelined him from the Senate for much of this year.
President Barack Obama hailed the late senator as "a proud New Jerseyan who lived America's promise as a citizen, and fought to keep that promise alive as a senator."
Lautenberg was first elected to the Senate in 1982, and served into that capacity through 2001, when he initially retired. State Democrats beckoned him back into public life, though, in 2002 following the withdrawal of their candidate during a competitive race.
"First elected to the Senate in 1982, he improved the lives of countless Americans with his commitment to our nation's health and safety, from improving our public transportation to protecting citizens from gun violence to ensuring that members of our military and their families get the care they deserve," Obama said.
Though Lautenberg missed a number of votes over the past few months due to illness, he did return to Washington for several high-profile votes. He made the trip to the Capitol in April for the Senate's vote on legislation to strengthen gun control laws, and on May 16, he participated in a committee vote to approve President Barack Obama's nominee to head the EPA.
"Never was Sen. Lautenberg to be underestimated as an advocate for the causes he believed in and as an adversary in the political world," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I think the best way to describe Frank Lautenberg and the way he would probably want to be described to all of you today is as a fighter. Sen. Lautenberg fought for the things he believed in and sometimes he just fought because he liked to."
"I am deeply saddened at the loss of my friend, Frank Lautenberg," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "History will show him to be one of the most productive Senators ever."
The longtime senator was the last remaining member of the Senate to have served in the military during World War II, following the retirement earlier this year of Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, and the death of Sen. Daniel Iouye, D-Hawaii. The flags at the U.S. Capitol were ordered to half-staff on Monday in mourning of Lautenberg.

NBC News has confirmed that Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., the oldest member of the Senate, has died at the age of 89 of viral pneumonia June 3, 2013.
Lautenberg had announced his intention to retire in 2015, at the conclusion of his current term -- though not before publicly chastising Newark Mayor Cory Booker, D, for readying his own Senate campaign before Lautenberg made that announcement. The task will now fall to Christie to appoint an interim successor to Lautenberg.
