Jory Bartnickis are rare to find. In fact, there is only one known one in America. They are known for being loyal, trustful people with a sarcastic sense of humor. Making one angry or messing with their territory (friends, family) can be a deadly choice, they have a large gun collection and vigilante-style ideas for justice. They can have random jackass moments but easily snap out of when given apple pie. If you find one, hold onto it because it may be the only one you ever find.

Newspaper account of the heist
On January 17, 1950, a team of eleven thieves, in a precisely timed and choreographed strike, steals more than $2 million from the Brinks Armored Car depot in Boston, Massachusetts. The Great Brinks Robbery, as it quickly became known, was the almost perfect crime. Ironically, only days before the statute of limitations were set to expire on the crime, the culprits were finally caught.
Tony Pino, a lifelong criminal, was the mastermind behind the audacious theft. Together with Joe McGinnis, he assembled a group that meticulously planned the heist. They staked out the depot for a year and a half to figure out when it was holding the most money. Then, the gang stole the plans for the depot's alarm system and returned them before anyone noticed that they were missing. The criminal team held repeated rehearsals, with each man wearing blue coats and Halloween masks. On January 17th, they finally put their plan into action. Inside the counting room, the gang surprised the guards and tied up the employees. Multiple canvas bags, weighing more than half a ton, were filled with cash, coins, checks, and money orders. Within 30 minutes, the Brinks robbery team was gone, taking $2.7 million with them. Following the heist, the gang met and split the proceeds and all agreed to stay out of trouble for six years. They almost made it. However, one of the men, Specs O'Keefe, left his share with another member because he had to serve a prison sentence for another crime. O'Keefe, worried that he would be cheated out of his money, and indicated that he might begin to talk about the heist. The others decided to send a hit man to kill O'Keefe but he was only wounded, and the assassin was caught. O'Keefe made a deal with police and testified against the others. Eight participants in the Great Brinks Robbery were caught and convicted. However, only a small part of the money was ever recovered.

A few driving pet peeves
I have another critical campaign platform suggestion for Connecticut's next candidates for governor, in addition to a promise to improve the state's grocery store choices.
I think voters would respond really well to a pledge to raise the penalties for driving while talking on a cellphone.
OK, maybe it's too late to suggest the death penalty. But, really, how about some jail time for repeat offenders?
Everyone hates it when they catch people phoning and driving. Even people who sometimes do it themselves get irate when they encounter others recklessly doing it.
You know who they are. You can tell what they are doing even before you pull alongside. The car is going very slow or weaving in and out of the lane.
Chances are phoners are in someone's way, while they chat. It's the chatters that are so annoying. It's never the quick check-in and hang-up kind of call that other drivers notice.
I think a promised crackdown on cellphone talking while driving could be a winning pledge for gubernatorial candidates.
I have a few other driving pet peeves, though not any as likely to help make someone governor.
Here are some of mine. I'm sure everyone has their own.
• Get out of the left lane if you're not going to pass. Really, it's none of your business if the guy on your tail is going too fast. And why stop with speeding? Maybe you should be a vigilante and try to stop all other crime in the state.
• Pull toward the center line if you are going to make a left turn. Could you be that insensitive to the line of traffic piling up behind you, as you wait to cross the oncoming traffic? Usually, if you get close to the center line, there is more than enough room to let people drive around.
• Use just one parking space per car. On what planet, I wonder, would it not be considered incredibly rude to greedily use two parking spaces in a crowded lot or garage? I am pretty sure that truck and SUV owners are the primary offenders. But I see a fair number of expensive imports sprawled across two spaces.
• Don't stop before you make a right turn. You can do it. Just swing the wheel and turn right and keep your foot off the brake. Slow down if you have to, but don't stop.
• Yield. The sign is very clear and it almost always appears on one lane of traffic or another when two lanes are required to merge. This is not optional. Let the other car in.
• Turn off the high beams when you are facing oncoming traffic or when coming up on someone from the rear. If one of your headlights is out, go with that. But lay off the high beams. Maybe the new governor could make an exception for offenders of this one to the law against the death penalty.
• Lay off the horn. Or at least use a honk instead of a blast.
In the event the next gubernatorial campaign gets bogged down in issues like taxes and budget deficits, I have another suggestion to address the rampant ignoring of laws against cellphone talking while driving.
Maybe some creative person could invent a device that would allow you to disable cellphones in the next car over. Maybe it could even send the person holding the phone an electric jolt.
I'm sure it would sell like crazy.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook is a compilation of family and homecooking recipes from across the Asian smorgasbord. Check out our interview with Patricia Tanumihardja, author of 'The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook.'
1. What top three recipes from your book would you recommend to our readers to try for the summer season?
Seek out vegetables like Chinese broccoli (Chinese Broccoli in Oyster sauce, Pg 107) and pea shoots (Wok-Fried Pea Shoots, Pg 121) at the farmers market as they are at their peak in Spring. The Shrimp and Asparagus with Homemade Black Bean Sauce (Pg 210) is a great one to try too. If you'd like to keep cooking to a minimum, I vote for the Somen Salad (Pg 224) or the Korean Barbecued Beef Short Ribs (Kalbi, Pg 154) to christen your grill.
2. What is the one Asian ingredient that you can't live without?
Ginger is probably the one ingredient that I use most in my cooking. It adds a warm, spicy quality to just about any dish from stir-fries to a fried chicken marinade. I especially love a drink that my mom makes called wedang jahe--it's basically a whole hand of ginger, smashed and left to simmer in water over the stove to make a tisane. She adds pandan syrup, sugar syrup steeped with pandan leaves. Pandan leaves is one ingredient I don't use often enough but it's one of my favorites. I toss it into coconut rice as well as sweet mung bean porridge.
3. What/where have some of your most memorable meals been?
As much as I enjoy eating out, my most memorable meals have been enjoyed at someone's house surrounded by friends. I can still remember a Christmas meal I shared with a very good friend, Anna, and her family in the Dolomite mountains in Northern Italy. Not only was the setting perfect--we were surrounded by gorgeous snow capped mountains--the traditional meal was a veritable feast with an assortment of grilled meats, risotto, etc., etc.. and the one dish I still dream about, baccala alla Vicentina, aka salted cod simmered in milk. The meal ended with freshly baked panettone and a sweet strawberry wine called fragolino. When it comes to restaurants, my most memorable meals have been partaking of the Chef's Tasting Menu at Aubergine, in Carmel, CA and the combination of impeccable service and excellent cuisine at Seattle's Canlis restaurant. Oh, and I will never forget the time my dad's friend brought us to a hole-in-the-wall restaurant somewhere on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a meal that comprised of "exotic meats." Grilled flying fox or snake soup anyone?
4. If you were to give a dinner party, who would be your ideal guests?
To be honest, dinner parties stress me out. I much prefer having just a couple of friends over. I'd love to have a one-on-one with any/all of my grandparents and listen to their stories. I didn't know any of them so it would thrill me to bits to get to know them. If I could pick someone famous from the past, it would have to be Jane Austen. I love her books and I've always dreamed of living in 19th century England as one of her heroines. Ideally, she'd like Asian food :).
5. What's next for you? Do you have plans for another book?
I haven't been writing very much since my son was born 2 years ago but I'm planning to launch a new blog that will focus on how/what I cook as a contemporary Asian cook and mom, plus, I'm working on a proposal for a cookbook featuring Indonesian cuisine. This cookbook is an ode to my mum who is a fabulous cook. She's the reason I love food and cooking and I am very grateful to her for nourishing my siblings and I when we were growing up. She still does, as a matter of fact!
6. Can you tell us about how much this book was a labor of love for you? What are some of your fondest memories?
Any cookbook author will tell you that writing a cookbook is a long and arduous process, so you'd better pick a topic that's close to your heart! Fortunately for me, "The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook" was. I never knew either of my grandmothers so I always envied friends who had grandmas to cook for them and shower them with gifts. And when the opportunity arose to write this cookbook, I jumped at the chance!
It took me several months to collect about 250 recipes from friends, acquaintances, total strangers, and I researched old cookbooks as well. In addition to interviewing the women I cooked with and telling their stories in black and white, I also tested every recipe at least once, some even 3 or 4 times. I tried very hard to keep each recipe true to the original. There were some very frustrating moments when a recipe didn't go according to plan, but I kept my sights on the bigger picture and plowed through.
While I learned a lot in the kitchen--cooking tips and techniques, life lessons, even child rearing tips--my favorite part was actually sitting down and sharing a meal with them. This was when conversations ran freely and I truly felt like a part of their family. In fact, some of these women have become family. A couple of them still call and email me to check up on me and my son.

Vote for the Nokia Lumia 920 to knock out the Blackberry Z10 in the LAPTOP Smartphone Madness finals!
While we have the Windows Phone App Star contest winding down, we have another March Madness style contest reaching the finals. Laptop Magazine is running the "Smartphone Madness 2013" contest to see which smartphone on the market is the most popular.
The field of sixteen smartphones has been widdled down to two with our Nokia Lumia 920 facing the Blackberry Z10 in the finals.
Currently the Lumia 920 has a very comfortable lead over the Z10 (62.8% to 37.2%) but we shouldn't see this as an easy victory. Our friends over at Crackberry.com have sounded the alarm so this may end up being a close contest when all is said and done.
Every vote counts and to help keep the Lumia 920 and Windows Phone out in front, head on over to Laptop's site and vote. Voting ends Monday, April 8th at 9am EST so spread the word and get out the vote!
Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

STROUDSBURG — Each year the Leadership Pocono class is divided into groups to work on a project that benefits their local community.
STROUDSBURG — Each year the Leadership Pocono class is divided into groups to work on a project that benefits their local community.
This year, one group has been given the assignment of creating a marketing plan and promotional material that will assist in promoting the Anger Management Course that is offered by Catholic Social Services.
The group has met on a number of occasions with Tom Regan, Program Coordinator and Nitza Desire – Manpower and Catholic Social Services Board Member, to compose a plan that will increase attendance of the class.
"I think it's important for the community to know that there is a resource and program available to reduce the incidents of domestic violence and violence in general. I also think it is important for businesses and corporations to be aware of a program that addresses work-place violence and harassment," said Tom Regan, Program Director of Catholic Social Services.
The Leadership Pocono students have been working diligently to bring forth the best approach to get the message across to both the court system as well as other local outlets.
Not only is this program beneficial to those individuals that are court mandated to complete the course, but it is also going to benefit anyone that may need help in managing their anger or stress from day to day.
The group will make recommendations for the future expansion of the Anger Management program and are hoping to see the course implemented into local businesses, schools, and as a part of employee wellness programs.
The group is on target to complete the project by May 2013 and will give a presentation at The Sherman Theatre in June 2013.
Leadership Pocono is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce. The program was established in 1997. Leadership Pocono provides the identification, development and empowerment of excellence in business, personal and community leadership.
A learning experience like no other, where those who shape our community tomorrow develop leadership skills from those who are doing it today. Over 200 individuals have successfully completed this intensive program and are contributing to the communities in which they live and work.
For more information on Leadership Pocono and how you can become involved please visit www.leadershippocono.org or contact Francesca Turturro, Leadership Pocono Coordinator, at (570) 421-4433 or via email at email@example.com.

Next Generation recaps a GDC talk titled "The Videogame Piracy Problem: Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest" by id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead about the impact of piracy on the game industry. They outline how Mr. Hollenshead says the estimated $3 billion economic loss caused by piracy in 2004 does not include piracy that takes place on the Internet. There is also an article about this talk on Joystiq that focuses on the statement that piracy is a factor in id's embrace of consoles, quoting Todd as saying "Piracy has pushed id as being multiplatform."

I noticed on the506.com website where they list the viewing maps that they have added the Sunday matchup for that weekend and were showing Chargers/Jets that night, so I went to the NBC website and clicked a link to a slideshow that shows all the scheduled NBC Matchups. It shows all the matchups through week 16, and week 17 isn't listed yet. They also have Chargers vs. Jets as shown in the link above. This seems to answer the question many have had.
I for one am kind of grateful, because it means I can watch it live instead of delayed on my DVR.
Edited the title to make it more accurate

Okay, I'm back and I am a genius according to you. Where are you though?
Originally Posted by For_The_Books: CALLING JAMES A FUMBLER IS WRONG BUDDY....WILLIAMS IS AND HES NOT PLAYING.....ANDI HAVENT SEEN GINN JR MESS UP THESE PASS FEW GAMES.....BUT LIKE I SAID NINERS HAVE A FEW MORE GAME BREAKERS...PLUS JAMES IS A BETTER RB THEN PIERCE FACT.....
James is no where near Pierce at this point in both of their careers. Pierce is a solid running back and will be able to do something as a starter on another team one day. I have been following him since his first year at Temple. This guy is the truth and holds every record there.
Letsmakemoney, we called it all the way.
Where are all the idiots that bashed us the entire week?
No fu.cking where to be found.
I told these bafoons that James would fumble, Jones would take one back, and Kaepernick would throw an interception. Joe Flacco would shine and be the MVP. F.uck these losers, if the 49ers won they would have been in here talking sh.it till next week in this thread. None of them came back to say "I was wrong, I am an idiot."
Gone with the wind, nothing left to be said about the SuperBowl Champion Ravens. They would have covered the spread regardless if 49ers scored there. I believe Flacco would have drove down and scored to win regardless if they scored there, still a lot of time left and 3 time outs. I never doubted the Ravens even when they started to slump a little bit.
I waited until all the idiot public bet up 49ers to +186 moneyline and +4.5 this morning around 1 pm and then dropped a load. Great team in the Baltimore Ravens, called this from the start. Flacco 11 touchdowns 0 interceptions.......No 1 has ever done that. 6 playoff wins most. Most touchdowns in the playoffs. Can't touch this guy...no where is this guy over rated. To say that is just hatred and unintelligent.
Timdogs- Im happy we could share the victory, you are a solid capper on here and I respect your opinion.
At the end of the day, I am more suprised that I called a Lamichael James fumble, an interception by Kaepernick, and a special teams error by the 49ers.
I knew when I saw that little guy he would be a fumbler.
Oh EastOakland, ur a real modest guy arent ya. You were correct on Baltimore, wow, they were 5 yards away from being a loser. Dont act like you know everything man. Its was a 50% chance or close to and you were right. All ur little prop picks are great and all, they are guesses, but whatever.
SF is the better team and they beat themselves, hence the reason SF is a 8-1 next year and Baltimore is a 15-1. And no it isnt because Ray Lewis wont be on the team, sure hes a nice support to get people pumped up but his coverage is one of the worst Ive seen by a "star" linebacker in years.
So ya enjoy this, Im sure you wont let anyone forget that you were right on a 60-40 bet, dont lose your voice by yelling to everyone that you were right.
You sound like a loser. Did not expect you to come in here and give me credit on your loser as.s pick. Baltimore was the play it was very obvious, even with that touchdown they would have covered the spread so wtf are you talking about? Thats 1.
Another thing is this, even if the 49ers scored that touchdown, Joe Flacco would have drove down the field and won or tied the game with ease. Baltimore was clearly the right pick as the led the entire game even with the bullsh.it power outage that stopped their momentum.
You can say they were guesses, but when you predict LaMichael James to fumble, a special team error, and an interception....and all 3 exactly happen and every pick was right. Not to mention nothing was ever in doubt except Baltimore ML...thats called being spot on. I don't need to yell, it's all right there you square. Don't try and guilt trip me because you came in here and bashed me and now you look like a bafoon. Thats your fault and has absolutely nothing to do with me.
The reason why Baltimore is 15-1 is because it is so hard to repeat a SuperBowl and Ed Reed may not be a Raven next year. But honestly, I could care less about next year, because I will be back to predict that later and then have to listen to idiots like you speak again.
Keep talkin......no one is listening.
I had 49ers from the star tof the playoffs at a 7-1 so I was obviously going to ride it out and cheer them on. I thought they would win and they nearly did.
Predicting an interception, wow! Good work! A special teams error? Wow you did, those are things that happen in footbal all the time. A fumble by the backup, woopie man. Means nothing to anyone, you prob won like a $5 ticket! haha,
PS Nice pick of ur fake gf takign a picture, grow up loser! Mantei Teo and you should talk on the phone. person!

GALESBURG — Pharmacies are not immune to the state's backlog in vendor payments, but the transferring of some patients to a new Medicare plan has helped smaller shops keep their doors open. Read the latest article in GateHouse Media's "Deadbeat Illinois" series.
GALESBURG — Pharmacies are not immune to the state's backlog in vendor payments, but the transferring of some patients to a new Medicare plan has helped smaller shops keep their doors open.
With the creation of Medicare Part D, pharmacists filling some publicly funded prescriptions now get paid through an insurance company, which is easier to work with and more prompt with payments, some pharmacists said.
Of the $9 billion in backlogged payments to various agencies and private businesses, Illinois owes the medical industry over $2 billion, with pharmacists being owed $377 million for prescriptions the state helps fund.
The delayed payments have hurt pharmacies, especially the mom-and-pops, some of which have a substantial amount of their business tied to public healthcare plans. Quite a few of the drug stores have qualified for expedited pay and get refunded faster than other vendors waiting on the state, but that designation has not cured the pharmacies' problems.
Walgreens can withstand a deferred payment for longer than an independent because its business isn't wholly dependent on prescriptions, said Garth Reynolds, executive director of the Illinois Pharmacists Association.
"It especially hurts the locally owned stores who can't spread the debt to other departments or even other locations," he said.
George Burgland, owner of Burgland Drug Store in Galesburg, said his outstanding bills with the state once totaled $150,000. His business saw some relief after 2006, when Medicare Part D went into effect. Part D subsidizes drug prescriptions for Medicare enrollees, but the payment for those prescriptions now comes through a private insurance company. Burgland said three-fourths of Medicare patients he sees are enrolled in Part D, after the state transferred a considerable amount of public aid patients to the program.
"That simplified my life quite a bit," he said. "It took the state out of being the primary and onto someone who has to pay more promptly."
Burgland said the most he is out now is $25,000. What about the irony that insurance agencies are easier to work with than the state?
"Illinois is Illinois," Burgland said. "If that's the way it is, you just have to deal with it."
Because his business is about 95 percent prescription based, Burgland qualified for expedited payments from the state.
About 600 pharmacies in the state qualify for more speedy payments, which stipulates that the business must be paid within 25 days, Reynolds said.
"Twenty-five days helps a lot, but it's still a long time to wait," Reynolds said.
Burgland did about $250,000 worth of business with the state in 2012, according to the Comptroller's Office. He said he has considered lessening the amount of his business dealing in public healthcare plans, but eventually thought otherwise.
"It could be a lot worse," he said. "Part of what I do could be considered a public service, but it would be nice to be paid faster. I'm not complaining too often."
One pharmacy owner in Peoria did scale back his public aid business.
Mike Minesinger of Alwan Pharmacy said about one-fourth of his business is funded through the state, which is less than it was in the past after his business suffered due to the backlog in payments.
"They just don't have the money," Minesinger said of the state. "We diversified our business a couple years ago. Public aid patients account for less of our business than even two years ago."
Minesinger said he has had to wait up to 120 days for a payment. Despite that, he said his business has stayed steady, and even opened a second store in Morton last summer. To keep his business afloat in the lean times, Minesinger kept a cash reserve, but even that wasn't enough at times.
"That reserve was getting a little bit low," he said. "We went out and got a line of credit, but we didn't use it. It was out of extreme caution."
Local legislators have said paying down some of the backlogged bills is a priority in the current legislative session, but finding a solution to the state's unfunded pension system has taken priority. Januari Smith, communications manager for the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, said solving that problem will help ease the unpaid bills problem.
