Valve will bring out its best for its clientele by 2014. Its AMD-fueled Steam Machines are coming next year and the fans are waiting on tenterhooks for the new technology.
Valve has revealed that the AMD facility will be a part of the Steam Machines that will arrive in the market in 2014. Quite recently, Valve undertook an inventory of the hardware specifications for its Steam Machines. These had Intel CPUs and Nvidia graphics cards. Some conspiracy theorists took the wrong signals and spread the word that Valve would not be featuring AMD hardware in its devices. Nvidia meanwhile had several of its workers employed at Valve.
What will be occurring in 2014 is the inclusion of AMD, Nvidia and Intel together in the Steam Machines. This was welcomed with cheers from those in favor of AMD. The internal politics of the players in this game of inclusion and exclusion of hardware was a source of much media hype and secondary hearsay.
Steam Machines are sophisticated gadgets by Valve meant for the user's benefit. The fact that they have so many intricate components that go into their making speaks volumes about the attention to detail given by the company.
This is the console of the future generation that we are talking about here. And Valve has the copyright ownership of the deal. That it will include AMD parts in its final models which will appear a year from now is a source of optimism indeed. And the rumors can circulate. Valve doesn't give a damn one way or the other.

The actress will open up her family life, and daughter Sofia, 9, is more than ready
Why is Leah Remini doing a reality show? Because she's not so different from you – and yes, because she's funny.
"People tell us, 'You guys are funny.' Other people find us entertaining, so we thought, 'Let's do it,' " the former King of Queens actress tells PEOPLE of her plans to star with her family in an as-yet-untitled TLC show this summer.
"My family is not so different from the rest of America," she adds. "I think people love to see that, oh, just because she's on television and in Hollywood, I can still relate to her."
Remini, 44, who has made headlines recently for her high-profile exit from the Church of Scientology, will be joined on the show by her husband Angelo and their daughter Sofia, 9. And Sofia, in particular, is ready for her close-up, mom says with a laugh.
"She was like, 'Where are the cameras? When do they show up? And do I get hair and makeup?' She's ready! They're excited about it," says Remini.
The actress, who competed on Dancing with the Stars last season, has long been a fan favorite, which is something she cherishes every time she meets someone who compliments or critiques her work.
"One of the girls that was doing my hair said, 'My mother loves you. Would you mind if we call her?' " Remini says. "And I said, 'No problem,' so we called her and she said, 'You know what, Leah? I don't like when you wear long things. I want to see your feet, and I can't see a proper foxtrot from you. And don't wear skimpy things!' And I said, 'Okay, note taken!'
RELATED: Church of Scientology Calls Leah Remini 'Self-Absorbed' Following Allegations
"This is what I love about people! You meet people outside of the business, they'll tell you the truth.' "
And that's what Remini promises viewers who tune into her reality show: a truthful look at her family life.
"I don't want to be doing a show that's negative, that's filled with drama," she says. "Things do come up in our lives. We are going through a transition, and we are leaning on each other. I hope people see growth from us, and I hope it inspires them to be who they are to each other and strengthen their relationships. I'm hoping that's what people are going to take away from it. And if they laugh, even better."

Sexual violence happens every day in communities all over the world and includes a range of actions and behaviors including rape, child sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, and sexual harassment. The history of Sexual Assault Awareness Month goes back to the 1970s, but the month of April became the official month in the 1990s. The statistics are staggering and sobering (source http://www.nsvrc.org):
- Nearly 1 in 5 women in the United States have experienced rape or attempted rape some time in their lives (Black et al., 2011).
- In the United States, 1 in 71 men have experienced rape or attempted rape (Black et al., 2011).
- An estimated 32.3% of multiracial women, 27.5% of American Indian/Alaska Native women, 21.2% of non-Hispanic black women, 20.5% of non-Hispanic white women, and 13.6% of Hispanic women were raped during their lifetimes (Black et al., 2011).
- Nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men have experienced sexual violence victimization other than rape at some point in their lifetime (Black et al., 2011).
This year, the SAAM campaign is Engaging New Voices. The focus is on involving coaches, faith leaders, parents, Greek Life, and bystanders with preventing sexual assault.
What can you do to help prevent sexual assault? RAINN offers these safety prevention resources.

When Social Security Early Retirement Makes Sense
According to financial experts, many American workers ask when Social Security early retirement makes sense. After all, most people work hard for decades and long for free time to enjoy life. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ("Trends in Retirement Age by Sex" 1950 to 2005), more people are retiring before age 65 than ever before.
Unfortunately for those who want to claim Social Security early retirement benefits at age 62 or before Social Security Full Retirement Age (FRA), Social Security Administration (SSA) pays beneficiaries to wait. In fact, the longer the beneficiary waits (up to age 70) to claim Social Security retirement benefits, the higher his or her monthly retirement benefit will be. Since people are living longer and enjoying more retirement years than their grandparents, it's important to avoid outliving retirement savings.
Let's take a look at how to match Social Security retirement benefits and the beneficiary's retirement income needs.
Living Longer in Retirement
The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) reports that the average American can expect to live about 78 years. Life expectancy has continued to climb each year since 1900, and it's higher by about seven years over the past 37 years.
Benefits experts theorize that longer life expectancies are probably the reason that fewer employers offer defined-benefit plans today. It's up to future retirees to plan for the future by contributing to defined-contribution plans like employer-offered 401(k) plans. Fewer retirees today can count on a guaranteed pension income stream.
Social Security Full Retirement Age
According to the original Social Security Act in force in 1935, beneficiaries could claim Social Security retirement benefits at age 65. In recent years, Congress reviewed the impact of better health care and longevity. Older people live longer than original Social Security beneficiaries did in the 1930s.
In 1983, Congress amended Social Security to increase full retirement age from the former 65 to 67 (individuals born in 1960 or later):
- Beneficiaries were provided with a Social Security early retirement option at age 62—at a price. Claiming early retirement benefits requires the Social Security beneficiary to receive lower benefits for life.
- In comparison, if the beneficiary waits to reach FRA, or delays claiming Social Security retirement benefits until age 70, Social Security increases the individual's benefit to the maximum. This year, the maximum Social Security monthly retirement benefit is USD 2,639. To estimate Social Security benefits, visit the Quick Calculator at SSA.gov.
SSA isn't likely to subsidize early retirement dreams in future years. Social Security faces an array of solvency-challenging issues over the next 16 to 18 years. Delayed claim of Social Security retirement benefits helps SSA conserve cash on hand and provides more monthly income to those who are willing to wait.
Social Security Early Retirement Breakeven
In order to calculate the breakeven between taking early retirement, full retirement, or delayed retirement, it's important to consider the beneficiary's life expectancy:
- If the Social Security beneficiary is deliberating about taking early retirement or waiting until FRA, he or she should consider the likelihood of living to age 78.
- Social Security actuaries predict that if the beneficiary lives to age 78 plus one month, he or she should wait to FRA to claim retirement benefits.
- In order to derive maximum benefit of delaying retirement benefits to age 70, the beneficiary must surpass 79 years plus nine months.
Social Security says that Americans who opt for early retirement usually do so out of necessity:
- Claiming early retirement benefits isn't a choice. The beneficiary hasn't saved other funds for retirement.
- The beneficiary has a chronic or serious illness, and has reasons to assume a shorter than average life expectancy.
- Optimistic early retirees believe that time is money. They want the option to invest in an idea, enterprise, or just want more time with family and friends. They're willing to pay by accepting lower Social Security retirement benefits.
- Pessimistic early retirees believe the present is as good a time as any to claim Social Security benefits. They've paid Social Security tax for years and believe SSA's eventually bankruptcy is certain.
Delaying Social Security Retirement Benefits
In addition to receiving a much higher monthly retirement benefit at FRA or up to age 70, Social Security beneficiaries should consider two additional points:
- Survivor's benefits are calculated on the original Social Security retirement benefit. This means if the survivor spouse is likely to live to old age, taking early retirement could eventually affect his or her finances for years to come.
- It's important to consider the impact of taxes on Social Security retirement income. To know whether Social Security benefits are taxable, divide total estimated Social Security retirement income and add all other income (including tax-free municipal bond income or other exempt dividends and interest). If the beneficiary is married and files a joint tax return with his or her spouse, their Social Security retirement benefits and other income must be combined.
- With taxes in mind, consider the impact state taxation on Social Security benefits. Thirteen states currently tax Social Security retirement benefits, including West Virginia, Connecticut, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Vermont, Missouri, Utah, and Montana.
Making the decision about when to claim Social Security retirement benefits is complex. For some individuals, locking in a certain monthly payment is the primary reason to claim Social Security retirement benefits. Before claiming early retirement benefits from Social Security, consider health status, current income, taxation, future income, and projected survivor's financial needs.
The decision about when Social Security early retirement makes sense is an individual choice. Social Security retirement benefits were never intended to pay for all of life's needs and wants in retirement. It's up to each American worker to decide how he or she will live in retirement by taking full advantage of tax-favored investment plans now.

In a monetary context, 'real' and 'nominal' are used to describe whether or not a price has been adjusted for inflation. Inflation means that money loses its value over time.
If a book cost £5 ten years ago, but £10 today, we would say its price has risen 100% in nominal terms. But had inflation risen by 100% at the same time, halving the value of money, we would say that the price has not moved in real terms.
Inflation has huge implications for investors and savers. The point of investing is to make a real return in order to increase the purchasing power of your assets over time. But many savers keep their money in accounts that pay them rates below the rate of inflation.
Say inflation is running at 2%. If you are getting an interest rate of 1.5% on your deposit account, you're losing 0.5% in real terms. If you are getting 3% you're making a real return of 1%. Most economic numbers are adjusted to take account of inflation – there is a distinction between real and nominal GDP, for example.

Discover ENGIE activities in Qatar
Qatar appears demographic and increasingly intense energy demand growth. Since the 2000, ENGIE develops its relations with Qatar through three businesses: power, gas and energy services.
Power and desalinated water production
Qatar is a rapidly developing country. Its population has increased five times in 10 years and its electricity consumption increased by 10% each year. Access to drinking water is a crucial issue in Qatar, this desert region has no natural water source. ENGIE contributes to the development of the country through the design, financing, construction and management of combined cycle power plants and sea water desalination.
Ras Laffan
Ras Laffan (80 km north of Doha) is a giant complex, the size of a city like Paris. This is the largest gas complex in the Middle East, it provides 50% of the electricity country demand. ENGIE operates Ras Laffan C plant, and since its merger with International Power, the Ras Laffen B plant for a total capacity of 3755 MW and 558,520 cubic meters of drinking water. Both plants use an innovative process for desalted seawater through the heat generated by combined cycle gas turbine plant (CCGT).
Natural gas and LNG
- Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
Trade relations in the LNG sector between ENGIE, QatarGas and RasGas (Qatari producers of LNG) were launched in 1999.
Energy services
Through a joint venture between Cofely Besix FM and Mannai Corporation (a conglomerate of leading companies in Qatar, which manages more than 50 projects in the country), ENGIE provides facility management services and advice on energy practices for building assets.
To sum up:
- The population has increased 5 times in 10years
- 4rd gas producer in the world [1]
- 1st World LNG exporter [2]
- The country is approximately the same size as the Paris Region [3]
- 3rd world reserves of gas [2]

Goon #19 – This book ahs been missing off the shelves for a while (not counting Satan's ***** Baby). I was a johnny come lately on this series, but now look forward to each new issue when ever Mr. Powell can produce one. Not for everyone, but certainly a fun and goofy book.
Strange Embrace #2 (of 8) – David Hines has named this story appropriately as the first issue was definitely off kilter. This will probably read better as trade, but I'm curious to see where this story will take us.
Weapon #2 (of 4) - Picked this up on a whim and because the writer is the writer of Action Philosophers. It drew me in enough to want the next issue and was not the typical martial arts action book I was expecting (which is a good thing).
Conan #42 – The Rogues in the House story has started and I really enjoyed the last issue. I like this book when we follow Conan's career in chronological order and have the "Born in the Battle Field" for the fill-in, but lately it had been too many later year stories and they should be in other mini-series.
Zero Killer #1 (of 6) – I have been looking forward to this new series a lot. The official hype is "The creator of Rex Mundi presents his vision of a shattered alternate future, as brutal gangs struggle for supremacy in a New York City ravaged by nuclear war. All that remains of the once mighty city are skeletal, irradiated skyscrapers, inhabited by thugs who abide by their own twisted rules. While crime lords vie for power and amoral paramilitary forces torment survivors of the devastation, one skilled outcast—the mysterious Zero—uses his strength and wits to stay a step ahead of everyone. Working for anyone while pledging allegiance to none, Zero is a bounty hunter who hunts the dregs of a ruined society . . . he is the Zero Killer." I have heard good things about Rex Mundi and the premise when done well has always been an intriguing one as I enjoy good post apocalypse stories.
Breathe #4 (of 4) – This has been a nice little series, but it feels more like a chapter in a story as opposed to a complete story of any kind. Still I love the art work and look forward to this issue and I will be back for any future mini-series on this character especially with this artist.
Cover Girl #3 (of 5) – This is another flat out fun series. The premise of the girl body guard with cover girl looks protecting the actor who has no real clue why people are trying to kill him has been a good one.
Fall of Cthulhu #4 – Well since I missed issue #3 (in all the years my store has been handling me orders they have only missed me on two books and both have been this year since I started blogging). So while I have been interested in the story I will have to wait to read this issue to get back on track as to what is happening.
Hunters Moon #2 (of 5) – The first issue I thought was interesting a black father loses his son while on a hunting trip. The fact that he is black is apparently an essential element to the story and is why I mention it. Still the prospect of having your child stolen is frightening to any parent, add into being away from your home territory and it makes it even harder.
Lone Ranger #7 – This will be a turning point issue for me with this series, because the origin story in six issues was okay, but if every arc is shows they are going for the six part story ever time for the hard cover and trade stuff, then I will probably drop this baby.
Action Comics #852 – Part 1 of the 3 part Jimmy Olsen story that ties into Countdown. Now while I'm disappointed that I have to what will seem like forever to see the end of the "last Son" storyline, this is a fill-in that is by Kurt Busiek and has Brad Walker on the art, and so these type of fill in stories are absolutely fine.
All Flash #1 – This cover does not work 100% for me as it is difficult to capture the proper expression for anguish. I'm assuming this story is about the Flash legacy and the recently returned Wally finding out that Bart has died. With Mark Waid writing this should be a really good issue. Can't wait.
Amazon Attacks #4 (of 6) – I have no truly coherent reason for way I'm liking this series, so Will Pfeifer and Pete Woods must be doing a great job. The premise seemed a little on the stupid side, but so far this series has worked for me and I'm curious to see is this is Hippolyta or not.
Aquaman Sword of Atlantis #54 – I have gone from hating the new direction to now enjoying this book. Tad Williams has a lot going on and the deeper we get into the book the more stuff is happening. I hope we have some resolutions along the way, but this is a good book. Shawn McManus' cartoon like style is still a little off putting for me, but I very slowly getting used to his new style.
Birds of Prey #108 – Oracle fights Spy Smasher to regain control of her operation. I believe this is Gail Simone's last issue on BOP, so why I really am looking forward to this issue. Also I am sad to see her leave a series that she made so great.
Black Canary #2 (of 4)- The first issue was very enjoyable and I was pleased to see Sin (her adopted daughter) get in the picture. Tony Bedard wrote a great story and Paulo Sequeira did a beautiful job with the art. Looking forward to this issue and like that it is coming out every two weeks.
Brave and the Bold #5 – DC looks to have a great line up of books coming up this week and this book is no exception. Batman and the Legion of Super Heroes written by Mark Waid with art by George Perez, what could be better. B&B has been a great re-launch and this book has been a terrific read every time out.
Checkmate #16 – Sasha and Mr. Terrific deal with their love affair and if it can ever happen again now that she is the Black Queen and he is the White King. Checkmate is a really solid series and Greg Rucka has done a beautiful job keeping this book rich in political intrigue and action.
Catwoman #69 – The previously mention Will Pfeifer has made Catwoman into one of my favorite series. The official hype "The conclusion of the "Catwoman Dies" storyline! The identity that Selina Kyle built for herself to protect her baby daughter is being destroyed at the hands of Hammer and Sickle, and that's just the beginning. With supervillains and the Gotham police hunting for both Selina and her replacement, Holly, drastic measures are needed!" Of course if you follow Countdown you know Holly has ended up in Metropolis and in an Amazon Center for Women, but where this leaves Selina is still unknown.
Countdown #41 – My love for this book is slowly ebbing as it is too many silhouettes of what is happening in the DCU and not enough actually happening in the book itself. Still this book has left more plot threads dangling then almost any other series I have ever read. It almost has too many ideas to follow up on. I mean in 52 many elements were wrapped up very fast in the WWIII cross-overs and how did Hawkgirl get small again? This book needs more storylines that are just in Countdown and we need more things happening in this book earlier, rather then later.
Justice League of America #11 – Only one more issue written by Brad Metzler – yah! A one and done issue with Gene Ha as artist. Brad is a very good writer, but he is almost too sentimental about these characters and the stories become maudlin.
Robin #164 – Dodge is putting together a group of bad guys to come after Robin. I have really enjoyed this series a lot and like that Dodge is becoming an arch-enemy for Robin. A classic bad guy who blames Robin for all his problems that were really caused by his own carelessness.
Seven Soldiers of Victory Archives Volume 2 – I love the archives series and still believe that the quality of the reproductions in these books are the industry standard (although EC Archives are also really well done). This is some pretty obscure stuff from Leading Comics #5-8 in the Golden Age. One day I will get around to reading this and Volume #1.
Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil #4 (of 4) – Jeff Smiths continues his unique view of Captain Marvel. Jeff Smith has a wonderful style of art and this has certainly been a light story, but ultimately I have not really enjoyed it as much as I hoped I would. I have never been able to deal with Billy being a six or seven year old kid in this book.
Spirit #8 – Darwyn Cooke is back as writer and artist. The official hype "Time Bomb! The Octopus has trapped the Spirit and Silk Satin in a water tower with a ticking nuke! The good news is Satin can disarm it. The bad news is she has amnesia. Can the Spirit jog her memory before Central City is destroyed?" A very good series, captures the essence of what I believe the Spirit should be, I think Eisner would be happy with this book.
Superman / Batman #38 – The last issue was a decent read, so I'm interested to see how this arc plays out. The hype indicates a return of a major villain, so let's see who that would be.
Highwaymen #2 (of 5) – Side note an odd week for me as not a single Vertigo book is on my list but Hellblazer was due out this week and did not make it. This book rocked in the first issue and I'm anticipating another good chapter in part 2, the official hype "The explosive miniseries continues as the Highwaymen, after surviving an ambush at their secret desert HQ, head south of the border to retrieve the package they were hired to transport: a college co-ed named Grace Anderson. But what's so special about her that this pair of retired couriers are willing to face off against biologically enhanced CIA agents and the entire Tijuana police force?"
The Programme #1 (of 12) By Peter Milligan and C.P. Smith. An interesting premise is raised by Peter Milligan in this story. The USSR had a secret program that utilized super powers as a weapon of mass destruction and now the weapon has apparently being activated by mistake.
Annihilation Conquest : Quasar #1 (of 4) – Part 1 in another chapter of the Annihilation Conquest stories leading up the actual mini-series. I liked part 1 of the Wraith and the Nova story had a shock ending, so I hope this continues the trend of good stories leading into Annihilation Conquest.
Avengers Initiative #4 – Last issue was okay, but I'm far from sold on this series, plus it is being dragged into WW Hulk, which I think hurts new series when they are trying to find their rhythm.
Captain America #28 – Continuing the "Death of a Dream" storyline. This has been a really good story so far and I'm convinced that Cap comes back by the end of the arc. I have no problem with Cap still being alive; I just want a solid resolution of how it was pulled off. Brubaker is doing a definite run on this book.
Giant Sized Marvel Adventures Avengers #1 – I'm only getting this book because it has the Agents of Atlas in it. Why they are in it and how (if at all) it plays with continuity, I don't care; I love the Agents of Atlas and want to see their adventures anywhere I can. It is a big plus that Jeff Parker who wrote the mini-series is the writer on this issue.
Legion of Monsters: Moribus – Also contains a Dracula/Lilith backup story. The monster books have been okay, but not as good the Western series done or even the old time "regular" monster series done before the Westerns. Still I enjoy seeing new stories on these almost unused characters.
The Order #1 – What was going to be "The Champions" until another small publisher reminded Marvel they owned that name for a comic book. I like Barry Kitson as an artist, but the characters on the cover have not excited me. So I'm going into this book with low expectations.
Ultimate Spider-Man #111 – The final pages in the Bendis/Bagley run and welcoming the new penciller Stuart Immonen. If anyone can pick up from Bagley and still make the book his own it is Stuart, who has more styles then any other artist I know and does them all very well.
World War Hulk X-Men #2 (of 3) – Christos Gage passed a tough writer test by taking a tie-in mini-series that is about a small element and delivered a good story for part 1, I hope this is as good.
World War Hulk #2 (of 5) – Okay issue #1 was really well done and watching Iron Man get his a** handed to him was fun. How far can they take this story and still make Hulk a viable character for the Marvel Universe. How can he fit into the post Civil War Marvel Universe – Nova couldn't and left the Earth. Looking forward to this series.
That's a wrap for this week's books. A heavy amount of comics this week, but for me when it is only one hard cover it is at least not a killer week for the bank account.

Drama As Oliver Mtukudzi's Bitter Father-In-Law Refuses To Attend Funeral…Reveals He Is Estranged To Daisy
The late music icon and national hero Oliver Mtukudzi's father-in-law has revealed that he is a bitter man because he was snubbed and denied a chance to say his final farewell to his son-in-law. Fred Gasho, who is the father to Mtukudzi's widow Daisy, said that he did not attend the funeral because no one had bothered to inform him and his wife Daisy's step-mother of the funeral or the musician's illness. He went on to say that while Daisy and the Mtukudzi family had snubbed the Gasho family, they had sent word as well as transport to the Mashonga family, relatives of Daisy's biological mother Elizabeth who passed on in 2016.
In an interview with the Sunday Mail, Gasho said,
I was never told of the illness of my son-in-law, and later his passing on. It is very difficult to hear that your son-in-law has passed away, without hearing of his illness.
Then we were shocked as everyone when we heard the news of his death on radio. We were waiting for official communication, as per our customs, but no word has come through. Therefore, we could not travel to a funeral which we were not informed of.
… they didn't send any word nor car to ferry us but we hear they sent a bus to the Mashonga family, to take them to the funeral…we haven't spoken to Daisy in about five years, even over the phone. That is how our relationship has broken down but we are not sure why.
"Is this to say we "ate" our muzukuru? Or we "ate" our son-in-law? The way we have been side-lined has left us with a lot of questions.
When reached for comment, Daisy said that as far as she was concerned the Gasho family had attended her husband's funeral.

Democratic Bergen freeholders riled their Republican colleagues when they announced a new police consolidation plan at the party's Hackensack headquarters.
(S.P. Sullivan/NJ.com)
HACKENSACK — After the Democratic freeholder majority here unveiled their new plan for police consolidation this week Bergen Republicans had a message for them: "Welcome to the club."
"Over the last decade – since Republicans first proposed saving property taxpayers millions of dollars a year through consolidation – the Democratic Freeholders have refused to act," Freeholder John Mitchell, a Republican, said in a statement. "Just last year, they had the chance to cast their vote to help taxpayers, and didn't."
The Democrats on Wednesday outlined a new plan that would merge the Bergen County Police Department under the leadership structure of the Bergen County sheriff's office, preserving the agency as its own entity but wresting control of it away from the county executive.
But their Republican colleagues cried foul, criticizing the Democrats' announcement as a political stunt.
"The fact that the Democrats chose to hold this announcement at their political party headquarters shows they are just playing politics – again – with this important issue," said Freeholder John Felice. "They have had 10 years to make this consolidation happen and begin to deliver property tax relief to Bergen County residents but haven't. Now, just weeks before election day they say they support this?"
The Republicans said their support for police consolidation in Bergen County stretches back much further than the Democrats', to when GOP chairman Bob Yudin was running for freeholder more than a decade ago.
While all of the county's Democratic officials appear to be on board with the merger, Republicans remain split on the issue. Mitchell and Felice are in favor, but Freeholder Maura DeNicola — along with County Executive Kathleen Donovan — remain opposed.
"This matter will never have a good resolution if it's politically driven," DeNicola said Friday.
The Democrats claim that their plan is distinctly different from an ordinance put forth by the former Republican majority last fall, which ultimately failed after Democrats David Ganz and Joan Voss withdrew their support.
"Last year we saw the Republicans put forth an ordinance that had no details and no plan," Voss said on Wednesday. "This ordinance was something that was not well thought-out and jeopardized public safety."
The Democrats presented a side-by-side comparison of the two plans on Wednesday [PDF].
Yudin also said Thursday that the sudden announcement of the Democrats' plan raised concerns about whether the four Democrats had been working behind closed doors in a quorum, a possible violation of state open meeting laws.
"Four Democratic freeholders appeared at this political press conference and said they put this proposal together. Did they meet together to do it?" Yudin said. "If they did, that's a blatant violation of Sunshine Laws and an affront to every Bergen County resident."
Ganz said Thursday that the proposal was drafted by the freeholders' staff and the board's legal counsel over the course of several months.
Jeanne Baratta, Donovan's chief of staff, told NJ.com on Thursday that they were awaiting the formal introduction of the new merger ordinance before offering a response. The county exec has been a vocal opponent of any merger attempts, however, and told FiOS1 News that she wasn't getting behind the new plan.
"I do not support, will never support, merging the sheriff and the county police," Donovan told the station. "The sheriff takes care of the jail, courthouse security, serves papers. That's their job. They're not police officers."
The Democrats said in a joint statement Thursday that their plan was being "unjustly rejected."
"We took nine months to craft this plan and the Executive made up her mind in nine seconds," they wrote. "Bergen County residents should be incensed with any politician who opposes saving the taxpayers between $90 and $200 million."

Cardinal football hosts Night of Champions
There's been a whirlwind of changes since Mike Schultz arrived as the new head football coach earlier this year and a major point of emphasis under Schultz is that players get stronger by spending more time in the weight room.
With that said, Schultz and the coaching staff hosted a first for the Lamar football team — Night of Champions — on April 25, which is a strength and conditioning showcase that saw several members of the team square off in bench press, squats and deadlift at Provost Umphrey Stadium in front of fans.
"The weight room is a way to prepare these kids to play," said Schultz. "The coaching staff tracks every kid's progress in the weight room and we have expectations for them to improve. This training program allows them to get stronger each lift."
Players competing included incoming seniors Matthew Tillett, Jaylon Bowden, Matt Oubre, Manasseh Miles; juniors Seth Adams, Dedrick Gardner, Zach Roberts; and sophomores Rodney Randle, Daniel Crosley, Donovan Jackson, David Crosley, Austin Moore, Adam Morse, William McVay.
Randle Jr., a Beaumont Ozen product, set a new Lamar football record for defensive backs with a deadlift of 321 lbs. Miles set a new football record by a defensive end with a deadlift of 341 lbs. Morse put his name in the quarterback record book with a 460-pound squat and Moore tied a linebacker record with a bench press of 405 lbs.
"We have been working our butts off in the weight room," said Randle. "This was a great experience for us to come out here on the field and work the weights in front of fans. The tempo has been really fast for us under the new coaches, but I really love them. It's been great."
Schultz added the strength showcase was a part of establishing a new culture for Lamar football.
The Cardinals gave the 13th-ranked Baylor Lady Bears all they could ask for before dropping a 4-1 decision at the LU Softball Complex on April 25.
LU (23-24) had their chances against the Lady Bears (37-9), but couldn't capitalize as Lamar stranded 10 base runners on the day, six of them in scoring position.
"We didn't get the timely hits," said Holly Bruder. "If you want to beat a good team, you have to take advantage of your opportunities. We didn't do that. Your big hitters have to drive those runs home."
Lamar, now 23-24 overall (13-8 in Southland Conference), will play at Incarnate Word (9-36, 4-17) in San Antonio for three games with a double-header on Friday, April 28 at 4 p.m. Game 3 will be played on Saturday at noon.
Track & field
Jannika John posted the second-best time in Lamar University history in the women's 10,000-meters and led the Cardinals from Stanford's Cardinal Classic.
John and Evelyn Chavez were the only two Cardinals at Stanford as the rest of the team stayed in Texas and went to Baylor to compete in the Michael Johnson Invitational.
John recorded her personal best time of 34:16.11 in the 10k, which follows only Midde Hamrin's time of 33:10.11 set in 1980. Her previous time led the league, so the senior will keep hold of the best time in the conference, and now ranks 23rd in the West Region.
Chavez followed John with a 36:08.47 time, which was fifth at the meet.
At Baylor, Thai Williams and Deja Phillips put up high marks in the women's long jump. Williams won the event with her second-best mark of 19 feet, 11.75 inches, and Phillips followed behind just off the medal stand in fourth at 19 feet, 3.5 inches. Williams went on to notch another top 10 finish in the women's triple jump with a leap of 38 feet, 8.75 inches.
Meagan Menifee and Kyara Levi both notched bests in an LU uniform in the women's 100-meter hurdles. Menifee was 24th with a 14.66 time, followed by Levi's 14.94 time.
Women's golf
Lamar freshman Elodie Chapelet posted her ninth top-five finish in as many career starts, tying for fourth place at the Southland Conference Championship that concluded April 19 at the Woodforest Golf Club.
Chapelet shot an even-par 71 on the 6,191-yard layout as the Cardinals moved up one spot on the leaderboard to finish fourth, as LU came up short in its bid for a fifth straight Southland Conference title. The Cardinals finished with a three-round total of 45-over-par 897. Houston Baptist, which started the day with a commanding lead, held on for a one-stroke victory over Central Arkansas. The Huskies were 14-over-par 298 on Wednesday to finish at 29-over 881.
"As a team, we are not happy with our result," said coach Jessica Steward. "We'll take a few days off and then start looking ahead to next year."
Lexi Brooks of Houston Baptist earned medalist honors with a 54-hole total of 3-under-par 210.
"I know Elodie is disappointed with her overall finish, but as a freshman competing in her first conference championship, it's a very respectable performance," Steward said.
Wenny Chang, the defending Southland Conference champion and two-time Southland Conference Player of the year, ended her LU career by finishing tied for 20th at 227.
"We'll be keeping our eyes on the conference results from across the nation, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed," Steward said.
The regional selections will be announced later this month. The regionals are scheduled for May 8-10 at four different locations.
Women's hoops
The Lady Cards have finalized dates for its 2017 summer camps at the Montagne Center on the LU campus.
An individual offensive and defensive skills camp for girls from ages 6 to 17 is scheduled for June 6-9. An elite camp for varsity-level players will take place on June 10. The individual skills camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 6-8, and from 9 a.m. until noon on June 9. The cost of the camp is $185 per camper with a $50 deposit. Each camper receives a camp T-shirt, lunch, personal written evaluations, a shooting evaluation and a camp certificate. There will be certificates for contest winners.
Those attending the camp should wear basketball shorts, the camp T-shirt and comfortable athletic shoes.

Lamar downed Texas Southern 3-2 in their final midweek regular season game on April 25.
Galen Andrews – who returned from an injury he suffered in March – tossed an inning and Tanner Driskill (4) earned a save with his work in the ninth inning. Ryan Johnson (2-1) started the game for the Cardinals and pitched four solid innings with just one inning of trouble. He allowed two runs with four hits and a walk.
"After the last four games we've had pitching-wise, it was great to come back home and pitch pretty well," said head coach Will Davis. "Ryan was as good as he's been since he got back. This was a great opportunity for him to get back out there and pitch for us. It was great to have someone go four innings."
He was force for the Cardinals from the cleanup spot over the week, and for it Trey Silvers was voted as the Southland Conference's Hitter of the Week, the league for April 24.
The senior from Manvel was 7-of-15 at the plate over a four-game span, and led or tied the lead for the Cardinals in runs (5), RBI (6), doubles (2), home runs (3), average (.467), slugging (1.200), on-base percentage (.579) and walks (3).
His crowning achievement of the was the second game of the Abilene Christian series when the senior blasted three home runs in a single game, tying a school record shared by Sam Bumpers, David Moore, Micah Hoffpauir, Justin Wise and Jason Klam.
"Trey has really put together some great at-bats and his hitting that second-half stride like he did last year," said Will Davis. "He was force at the plate this weekend and we don't win that series without him."
He is the third Cardinal to be named Hitter of the Week this season, joining Reid Russell from week two and Chad Fleischman from week six. Lamar is the only school this season to have three hitters of the week so far this season.
The Cards (25-17, 11-10) will host Nicholls (21-21, 8-10) for a three-game conference series beginning Friday, April 28, at 6 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. LU has a 19-4 home record this season at Vincent-Beck Stadium.
Lamar will travel to Houston on Wednesday, May 3 to face Rice (16-25) at 6:30 p.m. The Cards defeated Rice 10-4 on March 7 in Beaumont.

2 tbsp Tomato paste (from a small can)
3 Tbsp cooked lentils
1 small onion Grated
3 cloves of garlic crushed (or less )
1 tbsp cinamon
2 tsp cumin
2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro (approximate big time!)
you could also throw in a
salt and pepper
4 zukes with the tops off and the insides scooped out with a corer or peeler. ( a long tedious task that I do in front of the TV- be careful to to break the skin!- yours or the zukes!) I would double the filling and thus the zukes! Core those suckers and then throw the filling together in a bowl. Fill each Zuke only 3/4 full and place the top on it (I taper the top with a knife so it fits on) Place lettuce leaves in the bottom (so the zukes don't burn) of a large pot (the biggest you have) and put the zukes in Bottom down (if you have enough room; if not, put in howeve they will fit and try to secure in place by wedging potatoes or whateverto keep in place. Cover with water or brothWELL SALTED- VERY IMPORTANT- MAY BE ADD MORE!) and add the rest of the small can of tomato paste and a chopped onion and some garlic, cumin whatever and coover with lid and cook about 45min-1 hour on medium highish till boilin and then reduce to medium/low ish so it is simmering. After the hour check a zuke to see if the rice is done... if it is then you are done. Remove the zukes onto a serving platter and spoon a little liquid over them. (discard lettuce and whatever else) You can ccover with a onion-mint yohurt sauce and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for color.

1/2 tblsp bread-crumbs
1 egg (may be omitted or replaced with soy flour)
olive oil
spices: ground cloves, salt and pepper

Cut zucchini lengthwise and core them until they look like a boat. Finely cut tomatoes, zucchini cores, garlic, onions and olives and boil them together in a pan with a little olive oil until you have a sauce. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Mix sauce together with boiled grains, grated cheese, bread-crumbs and (optionally) a beaten egg. Add finely minced herbs and season to taste with salt, pepper and ground cloves.
Fill the zucchini boats with this sauce and put them in an oven proof pan. Bake at medium heat in the oven until done (about 20 minutes).

Stephanie "Snowflake" Eggink (4-1) steps back into the cage this Saturday for Invicta FC 8 and the strawweight title at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. We recently caught up with Stephanie prior to her big title fight this Saturday for the interview below to learn a little more about her.
How did you get involved in MMA and how long have you been training?
-I started training MMA in 2009, and started fighting in 2010. Prior to then I was strictly boxing. I was on the USA boxing team in 2007, then turned pro in 2009, around the same time I started training MMA.
Where are you currently training, and what's a typical training week like for you?
-I currently train out of Next Edge Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A training week for me depends on my work schedule. I am a paramedic and work 3 days on and 3 off. So the days I don't work I'm getting 2-3 sessions in a day, the days I do work I'm getting one in the morning before work. My schedule is crazy but it's worth it.
Tell us about your upcoming fight, who you're fighting and where?
-I am fighting a girl from Finland, I would tell you her name (Katja Kankaanpaa 9-1-1) but I promise I would spell it wrong. The fight will be in Kansas City and is for a vacant 115 lb belt.
What is your best experience as a fighter? What is your worst?
-My best experience was fighting for the XFC title. I was ready to go all 5 rounds but I only had to go one. I was more ready and more confident for that fight than I ever have been before. I look back to that fight anytime I doubt myself.
-My worst experience would be when I got knocked out. Enough said.
What advice would you give to other women who are reading this interview and want to get started in MMA?
-Train because you love the sport, not because you want fame or attention. Don't get into this sport because you want to pose in a sports bra, PLEASE! I see a trend happening that I despise, and I hope it stops before it ruins the sport.
What or who are your inspirations in MMA and life?
-My family. My parents are my biggest support system. They have never pushed me to fight but have always been my biggest fans. They have also instilled in me the desire to have a career outside of fighting, to always have a plan B. I thank them for that, even though I thought it was a stupid idea up until about 2 years ago, they were right.
Who are your favorite MMA fighters?
-My favorite fighter of all time is Lucia Rijker. She doesn't fight MMA, she was a boxer, but she was a beast. Boxing is my first love so she takes the prize for my favorite fighter.
How do you enjoy your free time when not training or fighting?
-I don't have too much free time during camps, but outside of that I am a big outdoors person. I am from Washington State so I enjoy things like hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding, stuff like that. I am also a big nerd, I love to read. Historical nonfiction is my genre of choice. Most people would find it boring but I love it.
For those who will inquire we have a couple questions for the male readership as well.
What do you look for in a guy?
-Somebody who understands the life of a fighter, who won't get mad that you're in the gym late or have different priorities than non-fighters.
What are your turn-ons?
-Drive, determination and never settling for mediocrity.
What are your turnoffs?
-Laziness and egotism.
What would you say is your best feature?
-I have strong legs, so I would say my legs.
Lastly before we let you go we would love to hear about your future plans and let you send some shout outs.
Any future plans or dreams?
-I am a paramedic now but I would love to be a flight medic one day. I think being in a helicopter while saving a life would be awesome. I also want to be the best 115 lb fighter in the world. Both of these dreams are feasible within 5 years for me.
Any shout outs you would like to make?
-CNP Professional Supplements, Sportsfood Technologies, Amber Sports Gear and Teaza Energy by Trim Nutrition. Thank you to my manager Anthony Hopkins, my friend Linda Kriner and my team at Next Edge Academy.
Thank you very much for your time Stephanie and good luck on fight night! Click here to purchase tickets to Stephanie's fight or tune into Fight Pass to watch the live stream. Send your shout outs to Stephanie on Facebook and Twitter!

Even when vacationing in the South of France, Jerry Swerling can type away on his home-office PC in Malibu, California. This isn't magic. It's remote control.
With help from Expertcity's GoToMyPC, a Web-based remote-control application, Swerling can navigate his very own Windows desktop from any Java-enabled machine on the Internet.
"I'll be in a smoky little bar where there's a side room with a couple of PCs or maybe a campground where France Telecom has set up an Internet kiosk in a little clubhouse, and I'm able to access my machine through GoToMyPC, do a quick check of my e-mail, and see what's going on back home," says Swerling, who runs the PR consultancy Swerling and Associates.
He finds the tool just as valuable when traveling for business. Able to access his home-office PC from his clients' Internet machines, Swerling can often hit the road without a laptop. And when he does bring a laptop, the application lets him retrieve important documents he may have left back in Malibu. "Sometimes an unexpected meeting will come up, and I'll need a document I didn't bring with me," he says. "With GoToMyPC, I can transfer files from my home PC to wherever I am."
As effective as GoToMyPC has been for Swerling, his story only begins to describe how useful remote-control software can be. Business travelers aren't the only ones who need access to distant PCs. Remote-control softwareincluding the Web-based GoToMyPC as well as traditional desktop applications, such as LapLink Gold, Symantec's pcAnywhere, and RemotelyAnywhere from Hungarian company 3AM Laboratoriescan help in so many other situations.
Obviously, remote-control tools are perfect for telecommuters, giving full access to an office PC from the comfort of home. But they can also help within the office: IT managers use them to access employee PCs and servers over company LANs.
David McHenry, an IT manager with the Radiology Alliance, a radiology practice in Nashville, Tennessee, uses RemotelyAnywhere to make software changes and track LAN problems on the company's 15 network servers without leaving his desk.
RemotelyAnywhere lets him open a full remote-control session and navigate a live image of a server's desktop. It also provides direct and rapid access to a server's Windows Event Viewer; User Manager; the system manager; live lists of DLLs, drivers, and services in use; and other hidden OS tools IT managers need frequently. "Being able to do all this remotely," says McHenry, "I probably save 10 hours a week."
Remote control can also improve help desk efficiency. Instead of talking employees through their problems over the phone, help desk workers can take control of a PC and fix problems themselves or demonstrate solutions to end users.
Several packages, including LapLink Gold, NetOp Remote Control, and pcAnywhere, can be installed on employee PCs from remote locations, and with NetOp, an employee can easily request service from a help desk by clicking a built-in button.
You can even use these tools to back up desktop files to a server or synchronize files between machines via nearly any type of PC connection. Richard Stimson, who runs a bookkeeping and accounting practice out of his home in Kleberg, Texas, uses LapLink Gold to back up his business's data. He regularly copies files to his network's central server and a removable hard drive from the two workstations where he and his wife do their daily work. "It's much faster and more efficient than using plain old Windows Explorer," he says.
The market for remote-control software and other tools that let you access distant PCs over a network is already over a billion dollars strong, according to Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with research firm The Yankee Group, who regularly follows the remote-access market. Almost any PC user can benefit from remote control, and chances are, such an application can help your business. All that's left to decide is which application best suits your needs.
The right tool may be sitting right in front of you. Microsoft Windows XP Professional now ships with its own remote-control tools, Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance. But if these don't suit you (they let you control only Windows XP and 2000 Server machines), there are many others worth considering, including TridiaVNC, derived from open-source software, and Altiris's Carbon Copy.
Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Some, like RemotelyAnywhere, are best used for network administration. Others, like pcAnywhere, are designed for help desks and enterprise-wide deployments. GoToMyPC lets you access a host from nearly any machine on the Web, while others also let you connect to remote machines via LAN, modem, ISDN line, USB, serial cable, or IrDA. Whether you're looking to back up files or access your home PC from the beach, one of these apps should fill the bill.

Everyone knows the frustration that comes with seeing the numbers 404. But for UK artists, Matthew Britton and Brett O'Connor, the 404 error does not represent a cyber dead-end, but a space for innovative creation and opportunity. To celebrate this idea, Britton and O'Connor teamed up with Motherboard to create 404Error.Gallery, a digital installation showcasing individual error pages from 17 emerging artists. Featuring designs by feminist internet artist, Molly Soda, Sebastian Thewes and Benjamin Berg, among others, the series explores creativity in the digital world by examining the way users transform the idea of error.
"I like to think of ways of subverting these every day online things that we take for granted, the mundane and the overlooked," said Britton. "So with 404error.gallery, I really wanted these spaces of disappointment on the internet—these spaces where content couldn't be found—to be filled with creative potential and to imagine how the overlooked could be interpreted by creative minds."
The project is an exercise in cyber existentialism that challenges both url and irl boundaries.
"It was more of a statement that no space on the web should be overlooked for its creative potential," Britton added. "I like to put ideas for projects out into the world and see how the world responds, see if it can engage an audience and make them think differently about their everyday routine."

Hi there, this is Shannon!
I am a Southern Girl with a dash of Yankee.
I met my Hubs at LSU, that is where our love story began.
I graduated with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Chemistry.
Hubs served 6 years with the Air Force, he got out, and we were married a few months later!
He missed the military life too much so 2 years later he decided to re-enlist, but this time he went Navy as a Nuke ET in April 2008.
We had the happiest surprise of our lives when Little Miss came into our world in October 2009. I loved being pregnant so much that I gained 65lbs! It took me 2 years, but with a healthy diet and a new addiction to working out I am in the best shape of my life. I believe anyone can do anything they set their mind to.
We are now stationed in Norfolk and I love the life we have created here.
However, 2 deployments less than a year apart isn't easy but I can't imagine going through this without my ship family and my play group ladies!
I love helping out other milispouses, there are so many great things about being apart of the military community and I want to share everything I know and all the great, new things I learn as I go along.
I love to bake, cook, and craft. I love being a SAHM and I love sharing it all!
Being a milispouse was never in my "master plan" but I can honestly say I am more nervous about living life as a civilian again, I love my military family and I don't know very many other groups of people that have such a strong bond!
I believe that everything in my life happens for a reason, I don't know exactly where my life is going but I am excited about the possibilities.
