Malibu Introduces: Malibu Sundae and Malibu Swirl Dessert-Flavored Additions

Malibu announces the launch of two indulgent dessert-flavored additions to the Malibu family marking the brand’s debut into the confectionary spirits segment. Malibu Sundae combines the brand’s signature coconut taste with the tempting flavor of chocolate ice cream while Malibu Swirl pairs the flavor of coconut with the delightful taste of strawberries and cream.

“We are excited to be entering the growing confectionary segment,” said Lisa McCann, Brand Director for Malibu. Pernod Ricard USA, “It is where we expect to see significant growth going forward. Malibu Sundae and Malibu Swirl are set to capitalize on this growth and deliver two entirely new ways to experience the brand.”

Malibu is supporting the launch of Malibu Sundae and Malibu Swirl with an aggressive digital and social media marketing plan as well as retail activation aimed at generating interest and trial among socially active consumers looking to enhance their experiences.

How durable are NightOrbs™?

NightOrbs ™ are extremely durable, owing to their spherical shape, 1/4” thick glass, and a 36-hour annealing process. NightOrbs™ can easily withstand run-ins with lawnmowers and weed-whackers, as well as accidental hits from kids and animals. For the past 15 years, NightOrbs™ have been subjected to the harshest weather conditions, from the strong Caribbean sun on the islands of St. John and Curacao to snowfalls of three feet and more in the northern U.S. and Canada. They look as good today as when they were installed, without any deterioration of color or function.

What materials are used in making NightOrbs™?

The glass spheres are made of 1/4 ” thick soda/lime glass, with glass colors imported from Germany. The 2-part base is made from sand-cast aluminum. It is machined and chemically treated to maximize the life of the powder-coated bronze finish. The stem, made of 1” schedule 40 aluminum pipe, also receives the same finish-extending treatment. The anchor securing each NightOrb™ into the ground is made of rugged 8” corrosion-proof PVC with stabilizing fins. For additional security, concrete can be placed around the anchor. Each NightOrb™ comes with a length of heavy duty underground burial wire, which attaches to the homeowner’s 12-volt lighting system with King wire nuts filled with silicone to keep the connection dry. Inside the NightOrb™, wiring connects to a MR-12 ceramic socket with a long-life 20-watt Xelogen bulb designed to last approximately 20,000 hours (an extra bulb is supplied).

What does the warranty cover?

A three-year warranty covers the repair or replacement of NightOrbs ™ found to be defective in materials or workmanship. The warranty covers all parts of the fixture, except the bulb. Defective NightOrbs™ are to be returned directly to LaSorgente in their original packaging, with proof of purchase.

How do I clean my NightOrbs™?

NightOrbs ™ are self-cleaning, with rainwater usually washing off most dust and dirt. If cleaning is necessary, simply use any glass cleaner.

How are NightOrbs™ installed?

NightOrbs ™ are relatively easy to install using a standard low-voltage transformer (12 volts). Any professional electrician should be able to install your NightOrbs™ without difficulty. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, please carefully follow the installation instructions supplied. See installation instructions page on this site.

How long will it take to get my NightOrbs™?

Orders are usually shipped within 14 days. For special orders with custom colors, please allow up to 30 days.

Why are NightOrbs™ more expensive than the gazing balls and other landscape illumination products on the market?

The superior quality of the materials and the incomparable made-in-America design, artistry, and craftsmanship that go into the creation of each hand-blown glass NightOrb™ account for the difference in price. By comparison, most gazing balls are made in China and are composed of thin layers of blown glass that break easily. Some are made of plastic and powered by LEDs, and most are poorly mounted and fail to generate the kind of lighting that comes from a 20-watt Xelogen lamp. Crafted of durable, top-quality hand-blown glass with cast-aluminum bases which are machined and powder-coated, NightOrbs™ will provide years of colorful landscape lighting.

Moon Diver Creator has a Much Better Idea for a 3DS Game

Posted by James Newton

Under wraps so far

PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade title Moon Diver marks the return of Strider creator Kouichi Yotsui, but it won't be making the leap to Wii or 3DS any time soon, according to the creator. Why not? He has a much better idea up his sleeve.

Cubed3 recently quizzed the creator on his non-Nintendo game, and asked about the possibility of a 3DS version in future:

I think the Nintendo 3DS is wonderful. I am very interested in it! However, Moon Diver is not the right sort of game for 3DS. I actually already have a far better game idea for 3DS.

It's unlikely to be Strider 3D as Capcom owns the rights to the game, but a game of the same quality would go down very nicely. Our sister site Mean Machines Archive has a Moon Diver review if you're interested in Yotsui's most recent efforts.

hmm...would like to see what he has in store, Stryder is awesome, and was sad to find out he wasn't in MvC 3.

Azikira said:

Well, im glad it will be better but... Thats not much to say seeing as Moon Diver was the epitome of generic anime. In fact, my friends & I call it
"ANIME: The Game"

SwerdMurd said:

moon diver does look kinda awesome...I'll be keeping my eye out for this game for sure.

JamieO said:

This is a quality bit of news, it was a nice find James, cheers for sharing it. Although Kouichi Yotsui does not reveal much it is enough for me to hear that he thinks that 3DS is "wonderful" and that he is interested in developing for it with a "far better game idea."

@motang I agree fully, the word "awesome" is completely accurate to describe both Mega Drive and Arcade Strider.

Alongside feelplus, Yotsui did a great job on Moon Diver, so I look forward to his future games as a 'Planner', his work suited Square Enix's style well. I especially hope that his next game makes use of parallax scrolling overlapping in a 2D/ 2.5D graphical style, but with layers of depth on the 3D screen.

Mother Brain Revealed As An Enormous Super Smash Bros. Assist Trophy

Posted by Thomas Whitehead

Mother NO!

If Samus in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. is ultimately going to be heavily influenced by the design from Metroid: Other M, then perhaps she'll be less the silent and deadly hunter from the Metroid Prime Trilogy and more prone to flashbacks, fearing the past and generally being full of angst. The latest assist trophy may, then, send our hero into lengthy monotone reminiscences of battles from the past.

As you can see below, Masahiro Sakurai has used his Miiverse Director's Room to reveal Mother Brain as a rather large assist trophy.

Sakurai-san is clearly excited about this one, judging by the text accompanying the new screenshot:

Pic of the day. Housed within the Control Capsule! Protected by Rinkas! Eyeball armed with a Laser Brain Attack!! The massive Assist Trophy Mother Brain joins the collection!!

Of the assist trophies seen so far, this has to be up their as one of our favourites; it sure looks deadly. Let us know what you think of it in the comments below.

CaviarMeths said:

Considering how much of the designs from Other M are the influence here for Samus, stages, and trophies, I don't think Nintendo really considers Metroid as "dead" as a lot of fanboys do.

2Sang said:

Cool. At first thought it was a boss, but I guess an assist trophy is cool too.

Zemus-DJ said:

Lol, look at Mario just hiding behind mother brain! This is just pure awesome :)

Spoony_Tech said:

Don't ask me why but this is the ONLY Smash Bros. related story i've clicked on since this site started posting pics! Love me some Metroid in my Smash!

rjejr said:

This is the first pic I've seen that really makes me want to see a video of it in action. Its so big it has to have some great accompanying music and sound effects for that death ray. Does it drop in and shake the ground or pop in small and grow? How does it leave?

citizenerased said:

It's a shame Nintendo doesn't really seem to consider Retro's titles to be canon, because they have much nicer designs IMO.

Auracle said:

Huh, Mother B isn't even looking at Samus while she's beaming her to death. I wonder what she is looking at...

Samus: Mother, time to...
(gets hit with death ray)
Mother Brain: Not now Samus! I'm trying to watch my soaps!
Mario: Dat cerebellum...

Volmun said:

YAY! Been wanting to see MB in 3D for a long time now! (That 1 bit in Other M and the Arurua Units in Prime 3 dont count)

Whopper744 said:

Now that's a cool assist trophy! Didn't know Mario was the evil mastermind behind Morher Brain though.

LtAldoRaine said:

Mother Brain is cool,but I hope they remember that Metroid Prime is a thing that exists. I know Sakurai is Japanese and they aren't very fond of Prime in there,but they have to think about the fans in the rest of the world. Prime is chock full of beatifully design areas ,there should be at least a Prime based stage.

NintyMan said:

This is easily my favorite Pic of the Day this week. It' always exciting to see a new assist trophy, and Mother Brain is an excellent choice. She looks really deadly here. I'm really liking the selection of assist trophies so far.

And to those saying Sakurai's been neglecting the Metroid Prime series, you obviously don't remember Frigate Orpheon and Meta Ridley in Brawl, along with plenty other references.

Thinking of Ridley, I want to see Sakurai finally reveal whether he's a stage hazard or playable character.

JacketsNest101 said:

@RupeeClock The Other M version isn't actually Mother Brain, she was more a copy. Also, the name would be MB, not Mother Brain. I do hope they use the Metroid Queen though, that was an awesome fight.

JacketsNest101 said:

@C-Olimar Personally, I would agree, but that may not do so well critically. Although, I absolutely loved Other M, so I'm probably in the minority here.

LtAldoRaine said:

@DestinyMan Frigate Orpheon was one of the main reasons I think they don't care about Prime. It was a ridiculously generic stage. It's like they just played the beginning of Prime and just made some stage kind of based on it. Metroid Prime has so many better areas than that. Meta Ridley was alright,I guess.

Monkeh said:

That beam attack looks very nice! Kinda has this anime feel to it when looking at Samus getting hit.

FritzFrapp said:

Really hope that's not the last we see of Metroid on Wii U and that Sakamoto is working on the next game in the series with the help of Intelligent Systems.

retro_player_22 said:

If there's a character who is totally perfect as an assist trophy, Mother Brain is that character. This is awesome, she even have those floating rings orbiting her too (good for fooling poor oh Sonic the Hedgehog).

Expa0 said:

As a huge 2D Metroid fan I approve.

Now, Ridley playable character please.

Giygas_95 said:

@Zemus-DJ Mario was the one who made Mother Brain all along!!!

@True_Hero Hah, made me laugh!

What would be interesting is if the player that gets the assist trophy had to smash the containment tank before Mother would do anything. If the player didn't do it quickly enough, they'd lose their chance.

FluttershyGuy said:

Yippie kai yay, Mother Brain. ;)

The only thing wrong with this awesomeness is how badly it makes me want a new classic 2D Metroid title! I'm not about to hold my breath for that at this point any more than I would for new Star Fox, or F-Zero. :(

I-U said:

Don't like the troll on Other M fans in the article, but this is some great news to see Mother Brain active in the next Smash Brothers. First really exciting news I've heard of the game since Rosalina's reveal. Getting sick of seeing Retro fanboys whine about the Prime Trilogy not being the only Metroid games Nintendo cares about. There's plenty of cool material beyond those games, including within Other M, in the Metroid Series. Love what they've been doing with Metroid for this game, love it even more after all the arguments for the past 3+ years.

earthboundlink said:

Thought I was the only one who liked Other M. Glad to see others liked it. I thought the story was a little overwrought, and Samus a little too emo, but the gameplay was pretty cool and interesting, and once I got used to the environments, they really grew on me.

That said, I do like the Prime games better. Pretty much the only first-person style series I've ever really been into beyond the Goldeneye multiplayer on 64.

Am I allowed to like both?

MasterBombad said:

Why Mother Brain?...

I'm glad we're getting more Metroid love, but someone like Kraid or Metroid Prime (core form) would've made more sense; at least they're not an immobile organ in a giant jar.

Soulixius said:

Since Mother Brain is now an assist trophy, I hope to see that Dark Samus will be one too. I know that people want her (or it) to be a playable character, but seeing her as an assist trophy would be more suitable. Well, in my opinion. If any Metroid character deserves to be playable in the next Super Smash Bros. title, then it should be Sylux.

BAGBOY said:

@Austroid It sure was a clever decision on sakurai's behalf, as it looks astonishing on wii u graphics. Mother brain was chosen because she is clearly samus nemesis (along with ridley) on the original metroid games, she is immobile, but she clearly will attack everything that moves as shown on the pic. I really don't understand the complaint.

MasterBombad said:

@BAGBOY Mother Brain's been pretty obsolete since Super Metroid. Appearing only in a remake of the NES original and a cliché android plot device in Other M since.

Ridley's done much more than her, and has been in most of the games following Super Metroid. He's truly become Samus' arch-nemesis.

Besides nostalgia for older gamers, this seems a bit random. Before you say the same for Kraid; he was going to appear in Prime 1 along with Ridley. So its not as if Super Metroid would've been his last real appearance.

BAGBOY said:

@Austroid I get that but that is the main point of super smash brothers, revive something you believed dead or as you say "obsolete", like pit and the ice climbers for example. Ridley sure beats mother brain in terms of doing more, the metroid prime trilogy is an example of that.

I am glad sakurai is bringing her back as she/it looks amazing as an assist trophy.

LtAldoRaine said:

@I-U I don't think anyone wants any part of the franchise ignored. I personally think that they should care at least a bit about Prime,not ignore the rest of the franchise entirely. I was annoyed how Prime had so many fantastic areas and they picked the most generic one for Brawl. I just hope they don't pick Magmoor Caverns and just make another lava sinking level out of it.

MasterBombad said:

@BAGBOY I see your point.

But I personally feel as though Sakurai just skims over Metroid in Smash. Samus (as far as we know) is still the only rep, most of the series' levels have been lava/acid pit areas, and there's only been one Metroid-related item.

The Prime series added so much to the franchise, and all we really got in Brawl was one stage and some trophies; Prime 3 was completely ignored and unmentioned.

If this is the extent of "new or returning" we'll be seeing for the series, I'll be disappointed.

BAGBOY said:

@Austroid I agree with you on that point, metroid prime 3 corruption was a 10/10 game, I was doubtful motion controls would suit metroid prime, man was I wrong, I even sold my prime 1 and 2 gamecube copies in favor of the wii trilogy disc. It is the definitive modern metroid game, no doubts there.

Dark samus is the perfect candidate for being another assist trophy, and I agree there must be another metroid item like the power bomb, speed booster, or anything like that.

Yeah, nintendo shoving aside this franchise in particular saddens me, even more than star fox. I really expect sakurai to include a second metroid arena like he did in brawl, we all metroid fans expect to see a prime 3 arena as well on this game.

YorkshireNed said:

Wow! I'd not seen any of the other assist trophies but this looks hard to beat. Still play the Wii Smash Bros all the time. Must make sure I get my Wii U before this one drops [don't know if I'd want it for my 3ds?]

retro_player_22 said:

Kraid already got his chance in a Super Smash Bros. game, he had a background cameo appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee in the stage where he constantly rotate the level. Also Mother Brain isn't just an immobile organ in a giant jar, didn't you play Super Metroid? After the jar breaks she transform into a mutant monster and use the Hyper Beam on Samus before the baby Metroid larvae saved her (Samus). Mother Brain could indeed be made playable with her Super Metroid final form, Sakurai just think it isn't time to make her playable yet in the series.

WaxxyOne said:

Freaking awesome. Now if only they add the Motherbrain and Metroid assist trophies to fight each other as an easter egg. :D

MasterBombad said:

@BAGBOY No, Prime 3 is an 11/10 game. :P

I did the same with my Gamecube copies of Prime 1 and 2 also! The Trilogy collection is definitely the definitive way of playing the Prime games. I stand by the idea that Wii's control scheme is the best for FPAs or FPSs; it feels so natural.

Here's hoping we see more Prime stages and Dark Samus in some form or another in Smash 4.

@retro_player_22 There's no way her monster form would ever be playable. You just can't shrink something like that, as opposed to Ridley; who varied in size throughout the series. That'd be like having Giga Bowser as a permanent form be playable.

Kraid was in Melee, yes (probably my favorite Metroid stage in Melee) but why should only that be "his chance?" The guy's been on hold for the longest time.

retro_player_22 said:

Remember that Mother Brain is just that, a brain, I'm sure Nintendo or Sakurai himself could find a way to put that brain of her into a smaller movable form if they ever plan her to be playable. The only way Kraid could ever be playable is if they used his fake form which is much smaller than his true form otherwise they could just bring back that rotating stage from Melee and revamped it for SSB4. You could tell Kraid is large, so large that we only seen his foot in the SNES box art. Putting Kraid in the game is like putting Godzilla in a Street Fighter game, it's just too big. It kinda surprise me that Kraid wasn't in Brawl Subspace Emissary though as he would be perfect as a boss character rather than a playable character.

MasterBombad said:

@retro_player_22 I was never talking about Kraid being playable though, just that it'd be more interesting if he were the new assist trophy instead of Mother Brain; due to his long-awaited return ever since his Melee cameo and Zero Mission appearance, about a decade ago at the least.

ValentineMeikin said:

I have to ask this...

WiiU Only, Nintendo? Or will 3DS owners get to drop the universe's most evil cranium on their enemies?

ompgsag said:

imo this is a good sign of ridley being a playable character, or at least something more than an assist trophy. if sakurai were to reveal a metroid assist trophy, you would think that ridley would be the top choice, since he's more popular. but instead we get mother brain

just a sign though, a small one

BTTFDeacon commented on Wii U Sales Double in Japanese Charts Followin...:

Yeah better sales all around.Nintendo Just needs to do what they are doing with the 3ds. Release 1 good game a month at least and it will be fine. It doesn't need a Price cut that's just a permanent patch for a temporary solution.

I actually like the look of the circle pad pro. It looks like it will fit my hands better than the xbox 360 controller, i hate the feel of it for several reason but it is mostly because my hands are different then everyone elses in some weird ways. Like my fingers are actually bigger than they are suppose to be for my palm size. But ill just have to use it to find out.

@Heiki Actually, I like this more than a regular Mario platformer. 3D World & New Super Mario Bros U are enough for the Wii U for me. But we didn't have any way ever to make your own Super Mario levels. You really shouldn't underestimate the power this has. This would be, by far, the best Wii U game for me.

But, to my defense: I AM a developer ;)

"It may be a fantastic app, but it seems the market for a premium-priced Art Academy is pretty weak in the UK."

Most people aren't that creative, so the game would get a very small amount of attention. It's for instance my reason to skip it, though I like how it looks. I would never be able to make the most off it.

SanderEvers commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Approach to Transfor...:

@johnvboy So much this. Metroid is a cult series. It's a game that only a small, but vocal, audience want. They don't want change, they want every metroid game to be exactly the same but with new levels (like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Fifa) they forget that Nintendo is a company that likes to try new stuff.

Which sometimes means breaking with tradition. Also, try this game, you don't KNOW that it's bad. You only say it's bad because it doesn't have Samus. I say, try the game and decide then.

Also I love Europe, we do have the New 3DS, New 3DS XL, 2DS and Yoshi's Woolly World early :p

@GH05T NX will come in 2017. There is no way they'd have a strong launch line up ready for 2016 for the NX. This means that the WIi U will be the second GameCube.

Also the NX will be a Home console and Handheld. (My guess) Zelda U will be released Q2 2016, just before E3. NX will be announced at E3 for Q2-3 2017.

This site is really going down the drain if even this can't get you excited.

It's always the same:
1. Nintendo releases a game in a standing IP:
"I wish Nintendo would release a new IP already! WHINE WHINE!"

2. Nintendo releases a new IP:
"I want a new (insert name of standing IP here)-game! WHINE WHINE!"

Really? There is no pleasing you guys.

Bottom line: this looks like a fun competitive multiplayer game. That looks a bit like Metroid (which really isn't anything like this, since Metroid is exploration based) and looks like it's fun to play. And I think it will be a digital only release, with download cards in stores.

On eve of Johnson & Johnson hip implant trial, plaintiff withdraws from case

Bloomberg News By Bloomberg News The Star-Ledger
on January 08, 2013 at 5:33 PM, updated January 08, 2013 at 5:35 PM

A former dancer withdrew her suit against Johnson & Johnson over defective hip implants on the eve of the first trial of more than 10,000 lawsuits claiming the devices left patients immobilized.

Lawyers for Moira Jackson today asked to drop claims in Maryland state court that J&J’s DePuy unit didn’t properly warn her about the ASR hip implants’ risks. Judge Crystal Dixon Mittelstaedt approved the request, according to court papers.

The request came after a seven-woman, five-man jury was selected in Upper Marlboro, Md., to consider Jackson’s claims that the implants left the retired dancer immobilized, in pain and subject to numerous surgeries.

J&J in 2010 recalled its 93,000 ASR hips worldwide, including 37,000 in the U.S., saying more than 12 percent of them failed within five years. Patients suing J&J claim metal debris from the hips, made from a cobalt-chromium alloy, causes tissue death around the joint and may increase metal ions in the bloodstream to harmful levels.

Lorie Gawreluk, a spokeswoman for the New Brunswick-based J&J, declined in a telephone interview to comment on the dismissal.

Brian Franciskato, one of Jackson’s lawyers, also didn’t return a call.

J&J faced 10,100 suits over the DePuy hips as of September, according to a November filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company increased reserves “due to anticipated product liability litigation and costs associated with” the ASR hips, it said in a court filing. It didn’t specify the amount of the increase.

The company said in January 2012 that it spent about $800 million on hip recalls during the prior two years. J&J wouldn’t estimate its product-liability costs.

Many of the hip suits have been consolidated before a federal judge in Ohio for pretrial information exchanges. U.S. District Judge David Katz in Toledo has set the first of those cases to go to trial in May, according to a December court filing. The second trial is set for July.

Filings in Jackson’s case indicate that Franciskato may refile his client’s claims in the consolidated federal litigation.

East Greenwich Mayor Fred Grant pleads not guilty of DWI, trial postponed

WOODSTOWN — East Greenwich Mayor Fred Grant is pleading not guilty to a driving while intoxicated charge stemming from a July 31 traffic stop. But he will not face trial for the offense until next month.

Grant was stopped on Kings Highway, going 91 in a 45 mph zone, according to police. An officer reported smelling alcohol on the mayor’s breath and conducted a field sobriety test, which provided enough reason to have Grant take a breath test.

According to Grant, his blood alcohol content was .11. The legal limit is .08.

Following the arrest, the Democratic mayor told the South Jersey Times he was wrong and apologized for the negativity the case would cast on the township. However, he is currently pleading not guilty to the charges.

Wednesday morning was the set trial date for the case, which was held in Salem County to avoid conflicts.
After the attorneys involved spent nearly an hour privately discussing the matter, a request for postponement was brought before Judge John Casarow due to “discovery issues.”

Grant stood in front of the judge for just a few minutes and said nothing during the court appearance.

Casarow rescheduled the trial for noon on April 11 at the Mid-Salem municipal court.
Grant is charged with DWI, speeding and careless driving.

If convicted, a first offense for DWI in New Jersey can result in license suspension for seven months to a year, a fine of up to $400 and a $1,000 a year surcharge for three years.

Gov. Chris Christie says no decision on Transportation Trust Fund, Hudson River rail tunnel

Melissa Hayes/The Jersey Journal By Melissa Hayes/The Jersey Journal The Jersey Journal
Follow on Twitter
on September 21, 2010 at 4:03 PM, updated September 21, 2010 at 7:36 PM
christie-budget-statehouse.JPGGov. Chris Christie at the Statehouse in Trenton in this February 2010 file photo.

Gov. Chris Christie said the moratorium on construction of a new train tunnel under the Hudson River and a need to fund the state’s Transportation Trust Fund are separate issues.

Following a press conference in Bayonne today, Christie accused Democrats of trying to “conflate” the issues.

“These need to be two separate decisions,” he said.

On Sept. 10, Christie suspended new work on the tunnel for 30 days, saying the project could overrun its $8.7 billion budget and needs to be reviewed. Christie said he became aware of the issue recently through a Federal Transportation Administration audit.
The audit, released in May, notes that FTA officials spoke with Christie about what needed to be done to complete the tunnel project.

The same time the review period concludes the governor is expected to announce a funding solution for the ailing Transportation Trust fund, which is set to go broke in March.

During a hearing before the Assembly Transportation, Public Works and Independent Authorities Committee Monday, when pressed by committee chairman Assemblyman John Wisniewski, New Jersey Transit Executive Director Jim Weinstein admitted that the $2 billion in states funds earmarked for the tunnel could be used to salvage the nearly broke Transportation Trust Fund.

During Monday’s hearing Wisniewski, who is also chairman of the state Democratic Committee, said he didn’t think the timing was a coincidence and repeatedly asked Weinstein if the tunnel funding would be reallocated to the trust fund.

“I’m not saying that,” Weinstein said. “I’m saying there have been discussions about a broad range of alternatives.”

But when Winsniewski pressed the issue and asked if there had been discussions about reallocating the funds Weinstein responded, “There have been those discussions, yes. But there have been no decisions.”

The project, called Access to the Region’s Core or ARC, would connect North Bergen to 34th Street in Manhattan. It was set to be completed in late 2018 and is expected to increase rail capacity from 23 trains per hour during peak travel to 48 trains per hour, doubling the number of passengers traveling between New York and New Jersey.

Christie said the audit shows the project could run $2 billion to $5 billion over budget, leaving the state to pick up the tab.

“I cannot spend money I don’t have and I need to know how much this is really going to cost,” he said.

He criticized the previous administration, saying the project was rushed into without finalized plans and approvals.

On the Transportation Trust Fund, Christie said he asked for a list of possible options, which he expects to have next month.

“I’m not in a position to make a decision,” he said.

When pressed as to whether the ARC funds could be shifted, Christie responded, “I’m not in the speculation game.”

Stephen Hill walked slowly through the Jets locker room today, carrying a knee brace in his hand. An LCL sprain in Jacksonville has left him sidelined from practice and unable to participate today.

The wide receiver was hurt jumping for a pass against the Jaguars. "It was weird the way it happened," he recounted. He now says that he is day-to-day, but told The Star-Ledger that it is not the plan for him to play Monday night in Tennessee.

His knee injury has not been given a grade, just that he will be day-to-day until he heals. He has undergone rehab and treatment this week.

Hill believes that the possibility of him playing will likely depending on his pain tolerance, not dependent on if game-action will make the injury worse -- though he sounded unsure.

"I don’t know if I can make it worse or not," Hill said today. "I haven’t asked. Other than that, it’s one of those …I really don’t know. They haven’t given me a set time or anything. Just day by day.."

Hill has already missed two games this season with a hamstring injury, in a year in which he has caught 21 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns.

Dover man risks stiff sentence in Morris Plains robbery case

A Dover man accused of robbing the Super Stop & Shop in Morris Plains in March 2008 has opted to stand trial, and risk an 86-year jail term if convicted, rather than accept a 10-year sentence in a plea deal, reports The Daily Record:

Hector Lopez, 36, is charged with two counts of first-degree robbery, three counts of aggravated assault, and a weapons offense stemming from the alleged robbery and attempted stabbing of a Stop & Shop security guard on March 2, 2008.

Police said the man stole about $400 worth of items, including film and diapers, swung a knife at a security guard, and drove off in a stolen mini-van, according to the newspaper.

Hillside traffic barriers blocks access from Newark's South Ward

Hillside officials, citing traffic concerns, have erected barriers to turn Bergen Street into a dead-end -- blocking cars leaving Newark's South Ward from entering the township.

The closing of the residential street between Grumman and Bailey avenues is the culmination of more than a decade of lobbying for safety measures, including a caution light and rumble strips, by Hillside Councilman Leonard Gilbert. A resident of Bailey Avenue, Gilbert said traffic safety is a concern but also thinks the measure will stop crime from overflowing into his neighborhood.

Access to Bailey Avenue from Bergen Street has been closed with a traffic barricade.

In Hillside, Gilbert said that Bergen Street offered easy access from Newark.

"You can have a drug transaction taking place on the borderline of Newark and Hillside," Gilbert said. "It's easy for you to purchase something near Grumman or Chancellor and shoot right across through Bergen Street and go about your business. Now, the car will have to make a left onto Grumman and hopefully get stopped."

But in setting up barriers in the middle of Bergen Street, Hillside did not consult with Newark on the project, said Hillside Councilman Jerome Jewell. That left some Newark officials and residents feeling slighted.

"I just find it incredible," said South Ward Councilman Oscar S. James II. "One of the things Hillside doesn't understand is the flow of commerce they get from the easy flow of traffic from Newark."

Two concrete barriers, which will soon be replaced by a more permanent structure, now span the width of Bergen Street -- a road that starts at Market Street in Newark, running southwest through the Essex County city for miles before it dead ends into Bailey Avenue in Hillside. Hillside installed the cement structures across the thruway two weeks ago.

A map showing the residential street between Bailey Ave. and Grunman Ave., where Hillside officials erected a barrier to prevent traffic traveling from Newark's South Ward.

According to Hillside police, cars avoiding the traffic lights at the intersections of Elizabeth and Grumman avenues and Bailey Avenue and North Broad Street speed down the thruway, often ignoring the stop sign where Bergen Street meets Bailey Avenue.

Between 1994 and 2007, 70 accidents occurred along Bailey Avenue around where the road intersects with Bergen and North Broad streets, according to a report commissioned by the Hillside police and compiled by Joseph Staigar Engineering of East Hanover.

At least one of those accidents led to a vehicle careening through the Bergen Street stop sign and onto the lawn of the Rev. Donald Boughton's home, which sits opposite Bergen Street on Bailey Avenue.

Though Boughton, who has lived in his house for 17 years, said the street's closing has made it easier for him to back his church van out of the driveway; he still disagrees with the township's decision to close the thruway.

"Was it so bad that this was necessary?" he said pointing to the temporary cement barrier. "My friends are asking, 'Is there a war between Hillside and Newark?'"

James, whose Newark council district includes Bergen Street, said he returned home from being out of state to learn the news of the street closure on Wednesday.

"I find it totally disrespectful that they're trying to close off streets into Hillside," he said. James said crime crosses from both sides of the border, and he was given no warning Hillside was closing Bergen Street.

Another city official compared the street's closing to a previous initiative by another neighboring township.

"It's like back to the future," said Richard Cammarieri, chair of the Newark Community Development Network. "Maplewood tried to do that also."

In 1994, Maplewood planned to install gates across five streets near its border with Newark. The township's plan -- which also cited traffic and safety concerns -- sparked racial and ethnic tension between residents and officials of the neighboring municipalities. Despite the protests, the gates went up and remain there today, according to Maplewood's Deputy Mayor Fred Profeta.

East Orange woman is indicted on charges she fatally shot man driving her home from a party

NEWARK — A 27-year-old woman indicted on charges she fatally shot a man who was driving her home from a party may have gotten the gun from the victim, authorities said.

Danielle Johnson of East Orange was indicted Friday by an Essex County grand jury on murder and two weapons offenses in the April 12 killing of Andre Austin, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said today.

Austin, 23, also of East Orange, was driving Johnson back from a Newark party when prosecutors say she shot him in his parked Acura Integra just before 3 a.m. Police who responded to a call of shots fired found Austin slumped over in the driver’s seat on Tremont Avenue. He had been shot once in the chest.

Johnson was uninjured and in the car with Austin when police arrived, the prosecutor’s office said. She was taken into custody and later charged with murder.
Austin was seen earlier that night at the party with the same gun Johnson allegedly used to kill him, Essex County Assistant Prosecutor William Neafsey said. The gun wasn’t registered to either one. Austin and Johnson were friends, he said, and the motive for the killing remains unclear.

Johnson is in jail in lieu of $300,000 bail. Her public defender, Deirdre McMahon, could not be reached for comment.

Arraignment is set for Jan. 11.

In which NJ towns is online gambling most popular?

Toms River, Cherry Hill and Brick are all roughly an hour's drive from Atlantic City.

Gamblers in those towns, though, are spending a significant amount of time wagering online from the comfort of their own homes, according to a report on

Caesars Interactive Entertainment released a list of New Jersey municipalities where residents have spent the most time logged onto their three gambling websites between Nov. 21 and Feb. 28, the Atlantic City Press reported. Toms River topped the list, while Cherry Hill was third and Brick fifth.

Two Hudson County cities, both with a significant population of young people, Jersey City and Hoboken, placed second and fourth, respectively.

About 31 percent of the New Jersey online players are gambling through Caesars' sites, so the list doesn't offer a complete picture of Internet wagering in the state.

The rest of the Caesars top 10 consists of Edison, Jackson, the Sewell section of Mantua, Freehold and Nutley.

A spokesman for Caesar's Interactive said online players are not the same people who generally visit Atlantic City casinos.

The Borgata has 42 percent of the online market, but declined to say which Garden State towns' residents spend the most time on its betting sites, according to the report.

Devils Passing

05 December 2002 - 09:30 AM

I think the Devils passing this season stinks. The outbound passes from the Devils defensive end are usually not on the mark so an offensive player and continue skating with the puck. the center ice passes are dump ins and all (98%) offensive passes are off the mark. This is not a crisp passing team. Enough time has passed and they have played enough games to get their timing and passing down and it hasn't happened.

IMO the Devils passes are too long. They don't use short crisp passing to move the puck forward. They use the long passs which is either off the mark or gets cut off by the opponent.

This Devil's passing makes the Devils look slower and not a smooth flowing offensive team.

Short crisp, hard passes are the answer.

What do you think about the Devils passing this season?

Past 4 Games

04 December 2002 - 04:25 PM

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed their families and friends.

My PC was down so I couldn't post that the Devils did very well during the past 4 games.

I think they really passed the test.

1) They won (not really) the Detroit game with Madden's goal, but that's the breaks, he didn't kick the puck, it hit his skate while he was skating forward. Rule says must take positive action to kick puck into goal, he didn't but that's the breaks.

2) Nashville game was OK they won, they should have blown them out but still a win and Schwab get a win.

3) St Louis, Marty had 3 bad periods, everything that was shot at goal went in, but Devils stayed alive and won in OT. Big win for the mental process. Marty was big in OT.

4) Philly just couldn't get it done again. Tight game, Devils win in OT again.
Thats two OT wins.

Danton has been assigned to Albany, so I guess Lou can't find a trade he is happy with at this time. Too bad, why take skating time from Albany players and why have Danton disrupt the Rats which are having enough problems trying to win a couple of games.

I had posted before that the next 15 games would be the test and the first 4 were very important. Devils passed the EARLY test. Big game tonight against Vancouver. Should be a tough one.

Stevens played well during the past 4 games and it seems he acted as a Captain and open his mouth about lack of consistency after the Dallas game. I hope he gets he act going it will be good for the Devils.

Nieder seems to have woke up, I hope for the rest of the season.

Little G, I didn't think he belonged on the Elias line but he is proving me wrong. I still think he is too small to have a major impact in the NHL.

Triumph, you were correct about the past 4 games and I hope about the next 11.

In my opinion these were exciting games the past 4, except the Nashville game. Not the usual boring Devils hockey. Now if Elias and Niewy would get started with the scoring it will be a cake skate.

I can't imagine all the press about the Devils money problems, Lou denys stories, but there is too much being made about it to not be true.

Teams Are Evenly Matched

24 November 2002 - 01:28 PM

When the Devils played the Rangers on Thursday night at CAA, 11-21-02, Doc and Chico kept making the statement throughout the game that the Devils and the Rangers are so evenly matched.

If that statement is true!!! Did the Rangers improve their team and play? Or did the Devils come down to the level of the Rangers?

I think we would have all agreed last season and in the past few years that the Devils were a much better team than the Rangers and the records speak for themselves to prove that point.

What about this season? Is Doc and Chico correct that they are so evenly matched. The first time they said it was early in period 1. The game ended after 3 periods in a tie 4-4, that speaks to evenness with the Rangers who used a backup goalie in the game. Would you have imagined the Rangers scoring 4 goals on Marty and the Devils defense before the game started? I wouldn't have thought that. Would you have thought that the Devils, with their weak offense, would have scored 4 goals against the Rangers during 3 periods and an overtime goal to win? I know it was against Blackburn the backup goalie. I wouldn't have thought that.

So did the Rangers improve or did the Devils regress this season?

I don't see the improvement with the Rangers so far this season. I do think the Devils aren't as good as they were last season or other previous seasons. The Devils record doesn't speak to that point, but then they have played mostly weak team so far this season.

Certainly wasn't a strong Devils team defensively or offensely that played Tampa Bay last night.

While Bryan Trottier sat out a suspension, assistants Terry O'Reilly and Jim Schoenfeld directed a 5-4 win Nov. 11 in San Jose and a 2-1 win Nov. 14 against Calgary. Back to back wins, WOW. Is there a message there for the Rangers? Are the Rangers considering a replacement for Trottier? They should IMO and not just based on just these two games but there is a message.

Released: February 1961

A chart-topper on both sides of the Atlantic, the signature tune of Michigan-born rock'n'roller Del Shannon is instantly memorable for its "wah-wah-wah" vocal hook and the pizzicato rises and falls played by Shannon's sidekick Max Crook on his Musitron or clavioline, a primitive synthesiser that also makes a distinctive appearance on The Tornados 1962 Joe Meek-produced No.1 'Telstar'.

 Drought Information: Livestock
Drought Information: Livestock

Drought-Induced Poisonings are Dangerous to Livestock

by Clay Wright
Cattle producers should be on the watch for nitrate and prussic acid poisoning during drought conditions.

Early Weaning During Drought Makes Sense

by Robert Wells
The drought of 2011 is turning out to be one of the worst on record. Most Texas and Oklahoma producers are looking for things that they can do to save what little forage they have and to conserve the amount of hay and feed they will need until green-up next spring.

Early Weaning is an Option

by John Wheeler
Above-average temperatures and low soil moisture have once again forced us to think about some drought management practices. Early weaning is one way to reduce the nutritional requirements of your cow herd and ultimately improve reproductive efficiency.

Evaluate Winter Cow Management Following Drought

by Clay Wright and Jeri Donnell
Many areas continue to face hardships due to the lack of precipitation. This fall brings hope for the end of drought conditions, but the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook suggests the drought will persist or intensify in many areas of the Southern Great Plains.

Feeding, Culling Are Main Drought Considerations

by Billy Cook
When you live in Oklahoma or Texas, drought management should never be far from your mind.

Guidelines for Culling Cows

by Deke Alkire
For most cattle producers, culling cows is not an easy task. However, some culling needs to be done each year to maintain optimal productivity.

Internal Cattle Parasites in 2012

by Clay Wright
Traditional internal parasite control in cow herds has often been in conjunction with other trips through the chute, such as first calf-working in the early summer and at weaning in the fall. In recent years, however, producers have trended away from the routine of convenient deworming in favor of a more deliberate, strategic approach.

Making More With Fewer Cows

by Robert Wells
Cattle producers in the Southern Great Plains had to reduce cow numbers in 2011 due to the most severe drought in decades. Replacement cow prices are at an all-time high in 2012, and most pastures are still in poor condition, making it difficult for many producers to restock to former levels.

Monitor and Manage Heat Stress

by Deke Alkire
Heat stress can greatly impact cattle producers through decreased milk production and subsequent calf growth, decreased reproductive performance in cows and bulls, and decreased stocker and feeder performance. It has been estimated that heat-related events in the Midwest have cost the cattle industry over $75 million in the past 10 years.

Producer's perspective: Is it time to restock?

by Deke Alkire
Spring rains have resulted in green pastures for many and the question on everyone's mind - is it time to restock? This decision is difficult and unique to each operation. Cattlemen from Oklahoma and Texas share their thoughts on this topic.

Supplementing and Stretching Forage Resources

by Deke Alkire and Bryan Nichols
During periods of limited forage supplies, managing these resources to best meet animal requirements is one of the most important things a cow-calf producer can do. It is critical that producers evaluate the best way to supplement and stretch their forage resources to remain viable in this industry.

The Importance of Monitoring Livestock Water Quality

by Deke Alkire
Rains in early 2008 have resulted in green pastures and full ponds for many cattle producers. This could ease your worries about water supplies for the summer, but will you have enough good quality water to get through the year?

Water is the Most Important Nutrient

by Ryan Reuter
Nutritionists and producers alike often take for granted the most important nutrient, the one required in the greatest amount by any class of livestock - water.

You Cannot Starve a Profit Into a Cow

by Robert Wells
Most producers are trying to survive the winter by stretching forage and feed resources. This can be accomplished with careful thought and consultation with a nutritionist to ensure that each cow's nutrient requirements are still being met for the stage of production it is in. If corners are cut to save money now, it can have long lasting repercussions.

Drought Calculators: Livestock

BCS Change Calculator
by Ryan Reuter
This calculator will help producers understand how much weight cows need to gain or lose to move from their current body condition score (BCS) to a desired BCS. Typically, producers will want to calve their cows in a BCS of 5.5 or higher.
Feed Intake Calculator
by Ryan Reuter
This tool calculates the dry matter intake of an animal. It also calculates the actual amount to feed if you know the desired dry matter intake and content of the feed.
Feed Library
by Clay Wright
This feed library was created to assist livestock producers in finding and researching feed ingredient options for use in their operations. The data in the database may be used as a general guide; however, the specific values shown represent averages. Feed properties are variable, and actual values for a specific feed ingredient may be higher or lower than that shown in this database.
Pearson Square Calculator
by Ryan Reuter
This calculator is used to balance rations. Two ingredients of known nutrient content, crude protein for example, are input. The desired nutrient content of the blend is entered, and the percentage of each ingredient (on a dry matter basis) needed to create the desired blend is calculated.
Protein Supplement Calculator
by Ryan Reuter
Many times cows will need a protein supplement during the winter feeding period. The most important thing to do, the producer must determine the price per pound of available crude protein for each option. The producer should then select the most economical supplement. Labor considerations can also be factored.
Value of Gain Calculator
by Ryan Reuter
This tool calculates the value of the gain of an animal. Supplement conversion calculates the cost on a per lb of additional gain basis of using a feed supplement.

Financial advice for those turning 40: John Gin's MoneyWatch

John Gin, Financial Advisor and Contributing Writer By John Gin, Financial Advisor and Contributing Writer The Times-Picayune
on September 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM, updated September 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM

So you survived your surprise party and you're getting used to the fact that you've turned 40 years old. You got all the typical gag gifts, but after you put the cane with the bike horn in the closet, allow yourself a moment to reflect. Although you may feel like you're still 28, you've reached a great milestone - and now is a good time to take a serious look at your finances.

Here are a handful of things to keep in mind now that you've hit the big 4-0.

Look at the big picture.

You likely have a lot going on financially, so take time to step back and consider what you're really trying to achieve overall. Make a list of all your financial obligations and goals - from daily expenses to long-term plans. Then start prioritizing them, being honest with yourself about the "need to haves" (retirement savings) and "nice to haves" (tuition paid in full for your college-bound child).

Also re-evaluate the products and policies you already have in place and ensure you're making the most of your options. For example, this is a critical time to maximize your qualified retirement savings. If your employer offers a 401(k) match, make sure you're taking advantage of it, and save the allowed amount in an IRA as well.

Set limits.

While it can be difficult to restrain your generosity, it's crucial to set boundaries with your children and other family members if they request financial help. Lending and borrowing within your family can lead to both financial and emotional stress, so make sure you're in a position to help - and set realistic expectations - before you provide assistance.

If you anticipate needing to help finance your child's college education or a parent's stay in an assisted living facility, begin planning and saving well in advance to avoid compromising your own financial security.

Educate your children.

If you have children, take steps to instill financial responsibility now. Guiding them on a path to financial independence is positive for them, but also good for your own financial future. Research some of the ways you can talk to your children about finances, teach them to spend and save responsibly, and lead by being a positive influence.

This may also be a good time to establish or update your will and guardianship plan, and ensure your family is adequately covered under your insurance policies and in case you or your spouse are unable to provide for them because of a premature death or disability.

Prepare for change.

Unexpected events are bound to happen, but creating a contingency plan can minimize the risk that an event such as disability, illness or divorce will jeopardize your financial security. It's difficult to consider these circumstances, but having an emergency fund or the proper insurance for unforeseen events may be a lifesaver someday.

If your emergency fund goes unused, saving the extra cash will be not have been in vain - consider using it to further another financial goal.

Seek advice.

It can be extremely challenging to prioritize your financial goals during your 40s, but your future financial security depends on it. Why go it alone? Consider consulting with a financial advisor and other professionals, such as an accountant and attorney.

The most important thing to remember during this period is that although you may find it challenging to set aside the cash for your long-term goals, it's crucial not to lose sight of them. Remember that you're not as old as your age may sound! Ensure you're saving a manageable amount now while time is still on your side.

Jason Sudeikis leaves 'Saturday Night Live'

This Feb. 26, 2013 photo released by NBC shows castmember Jason Sudeikis on the set of "Saturday Night Live," in New York. After eight years on the air at "Saturday Night Live," Jason Sudeikis says he's calling it quits. Sudeikis used another late-night institution to make his announcement, telling David Letterman in the taping of the show on Wednesday, July 24, that he's leaving NBC's weekend program. Sudeikis had a busy election year on "Saturday Night Live," portraying both Republican Mitt Romney and Vice President Joe Biden. (AP Photo/NBC, Dana Edelson)
Los Angeles Times News Service By Los Angeles Times News Service The Times-Picayune
on July 25, 2013 at 7:25 AM, updated July 25, 2013 at 9:13 AM

LOS ANGELES — It’s official: “Saturday Night Live” will return in the fall without Jason Sudeikis. The sketch comedy pro confirmed on Wednesday’s “The Late Show With David Letterman” that he’s left the NBC late-night staple after 10 years.

Along the way, he’s goofed on such characters as Billy Ray Cyrus and “American Idol” winner Taylor Hicks.

“I’m definitely done,” Sudeikis, currently starring in the feature “We’re the Millers” and engaged to former “The O.C.” costar Olivia Wilde, told Letterman. “I’m not coming back next fall.”

Looks like “SNL” is in one of its periodic housecleanings. “Portlandia” star Fred Armisen and Bill Hader, famed for such impersonations as fey nightclub kid Stefon, have already announced their departures. Seth Meyers, the host of the “Weekend Update” segment and a longtime writer, is leaving to host NBC’s “Late Night.” And “Bridesmaids” star Kristen Wiig, another popular performer, left a couple of seasons back to pursue her movie career.

Sudeikis joined “SNL” in 2003 as a writer and became a featured performer in 2005.

New Athletic Director Derek Morel eager to tackle challenges at the University of New Orleans

Lyons Yellin, | The Times-Picayune By Lyons Yellin, | The Times-Picayune The Times-Picayune
Follow on Twitter
on July 03, 2012 at 2:08 AM, updated July 05, 2012 at 6:53 AM

New UNO Privateers Athletic Director Derek Morel didn’t waste any time making his presence felt on the Lakefront campus Monday afternoon. Arriving just after 2:30 p.m., he greeted his staff in the athletic department complex and then visited the men’s basketball team at its practice facility in Lakefront Arena, where the group was eager to express its delight at his arrival.

03unoad0143.jpgUNO Privateers Athletic Director Derek Morel chats with players Max Banchy, left, and Rarlensee Nelson.

“I’m glad to see he’s finally here,” said senior guard Rarlensee Nelson, who represented the university’s athletes to the search committee and was the first to greet Morel when he entered the gym. “I have no doubt that he was the right man for the job.”

Although Morel accepted the position six weeks ago, the New Orleans native didn’t officially assume control of the department until Monday. During the transition period, Morel remained with his wife, Mary Kay, and their three children in Winston-Salem, N.C., believing the time and distance away from campus provided him the opportunity to better prepare for his new post.

“There hasn’t been a day go by that I haven’t had to deal with something fairly significant from a UNO prospective,” Morel said via phone Monday during his 14-hour, 800-mile drive from North Carolina to New Orleans. “Sometimes it takes awhile to get comfortable (at a new job). But I feel like I got a little bit of a head start.

“There’s a significant level of excitement throughout the entire department. Everyone is ready to get started with the new (fiscal) year and a new direction.”

The city’s university

Post-Katrina, UNO’s depressed enrollment — ranging from 7,000 students in 2005 to 12,000 in 2009 — and catastrophic budget shortfalls have forced athletics to operate in relative anonymity. Morel wants to remind fans and residents of UNO’s rich sports history, and also that it is the public university of the city.

“We carry the name, but we also carry the same values, desires, goals and optimism,” Morel said. “We want the students of New Orleans coming back to UNO in higher numbers than they are now. Athletics are the foremost representative of that brand.”

In light of recent budget cuts to the University of Louisiana system, Morel is cognizant of the perceived preferential treatment received by many athletic departments, despite objections from those on the academic side. Morel insists, however, that athletics are going through the same struggles as everyone else on campus. He believes a strong athletic department can help create additional revenue for the university by boosting enrollment and acting as the school’s “brand carrier.”

“We’ve got to supplement and subsidize what we are getting from the university with our own external revenue, and that’s what is going to help us grow,” Morel said. “I can’t just sit back and wait for more from the state. If we are getting less than we need, then we go out and find ways to supplement those losses. More than ever, we need people to invest in the program. My (fundraising) background comes in more than ever. I have to go out and be creative and get folks to invest in the program.”

The UNO experience

The decision to return UNO athletics to Division I competition has forced the department to analyze its whole organizational structure to determine what it needs to facilitate competitive athletic programs. Morel said the bedrock to a successful program rests on providing a positive university experience for all of its athletes.

“If (current athletes) have a good experience and are proud of what they are going through at UNO, they are going to say great things to the other young men and women that visit our campus,” he said. “We want them to serve as ambassadors for this university for some time.”

The general consensus among the school’s athletes is that Morel will deliver on his promises to grow the athletic department and provide the requisite institutional support.

“You can take great lessons from schools like Gonzaga, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth,” Morel said. “ Look at what their basketball programs have done for their university. It’s immeasurable, financially and from an enrollment standpoint, an exposure standpoint and brand standpoint.

“So you look at places to say, ‘That there is a program that we want to model after.’ But that wouldn’t be fair to those programs. We want to be UNO. But we certainly understand that borrowing some great things from other great programs is a good thing, and it’s something that is going to make us better.”

Morel said coaches and administrators routinely perform two or three jobs at once and that UNO currently lacks the necessary support staff to accommodate additional scholarship athletes — a problem he is intent on correcting. According to Morel, the university funded 20 athletic scholarships in 2011-12, a number consistent with a Division II institution. That scholarship number will grow to 73 in 2012-13 and to more than 100 by 2013-14.

“Having (Morel) as an advocate on the campus and the community is the biggest thing that UNO was missing,” men’s basketball coach Mark Slessinger said. “People are excited to be a part of this renaissance of UNO athletics. (Morel’s) skill set fits the task at hand, especially in the areas that need immediate help — marketing, development and rebranding, his strong suit.”

Marketing students launch campaign to increase volunteerism

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — South Forsyth High School DECA marketing students have kicked off a public relations campaign to increase volunteerism in Forsyth County.

The campaign is called, “Be the Difference.” As part of the campaign, groups worked on the project, including Melissa Vuocolo, Madison DiMauro, Nayaab Babar, Michael Scullin, Amanda Richards and James Kramlich.

The students in the advanced class worked as a marketing research firm and an advertising agency for the Community Connection, a nonprofit that pairs volunteers with community service opportunities.

Madison DiMauro said they had to come up with fresh ideas and figure out how to implement them.

The ideas generated were pull-off tabs that were sent to all county high schools, QR coded fliers to link users to a volunteer sign up page and a video. Through Mahalo Marketing, the students produced billboards that were displayed at the intersection of Buford Highway and Atlanta Highway (Ga. 9).

“We decided that our community needed to ‘be the difference,’ that’s how we came up with the slogan,” DiMauro said.

Marketing Advisor Debra Moore said this group will be part of about 125 students at South Forsyth who will be taking their projects to a state competition Feb. 28 in Atlanta. The students hope their project will help them advance to an international marketing competition in Anaheim, Calif.

'Dogs Defense Will Be Relied On Early

By KBJR News 1

August 23, 2013 Updated Aug 23, 2013 at 9:06 PM CDT

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- With significant personnel changes on the team's offensive unit, University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) football defensive leaders know they will be relied upon more heavily entering the 2013 season.

"A lot of the guys have talked about the fact that it's going to be a defensive year," senior captain Colby Ring said. "We're going to have to step up and carry it like the offense did for us a few games last year."

UMD's defense last season allowed 23.4 points and 281 yards per game, and the unit also helped the team to a plus-eight margin in the turnover ratio.

Safety Cameron Harper and defensive end Joe Akey are the biggest losses from last year's unit, but this year's guys seem prepared to deal with it.

"As a defense, you always pride yourself on depth," senior captain Nate Zuk said. "Our motto is 'Next Man Up,' so if a guy goes down or graduates, the next guy gets his shot."

UMD will open the season on Sept. 7 at home against the University of Sioux Falls, with that game to be shown live on the My 9 Sports Network.

Pool Solutions Flock 'N Vac - 1 Quart

Item Code: 1CP-P88002DE

Availability: Available, Ships in 5 business days.

$1.46 (18.94%)

Product Details

Pool Solutions Floc 'N Vac helps clear extremely cloudy water. It has a fast acting formula that coagulates fine particles in your water, dropping them to the pool floor for quick and easy vacuuming. This product is ideal to use after a rainstorm or a period of time when the pump wasn't running. The more debris in the water, the faster it works.

8 oz. per 10,000 gallons of water.

  1. Shake well before use.
  2. Make sure filter is clean and backwashed.
  3. PH should be between 7.5-8.0 for best results.
  4. Use at a rate of 8 fl. oz. per 10,000 gallons.
  5. Start with a clean skimmer basket and pour Floc N Vac slowly into skimmer with the pump on and filter valve in recirculate or whirlpool position. For filters without recirculate position: backwash, then with filter in filter position, dilute Floc 'N Vac into large plastic pail of water (8 fl. oz. of Floc 'N Vac per 1 gallon of water, always add Floc 'N Vac to water) and apply evenly over surface of pool. Replace Skimmer basket after applying Floc N Vac.
  6. Circulate water for 2 hours to distribute Floc 'N Vac throughout the pool.
  7. Shut off pump. Let Floc 'N Vac settle debris to bottom while pool remains undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours ( usually overnight). Note: The more debris in the water, the faster Floc 'N Vac works. For extremely cloudy pools (cannot see the drain in the deep part of pool) use double the normal dosage.
  8. Vacuum all settled debris with filter in waste or drain mode. Note: Settling may continue for several days if new debris is introduced by wind or rain. If so, vacuum waste again. Do not vacuum debris through filter.
  9. Resume normal filter cycle.
  10. Re-adjust pH if needed to 7.2-7.6

For Water With Algae:
  1. Floc 'N Vac will not kill algae but helps with the removal of dead algae after treatment.
  2. Follow steps 1 through 8 as previously stated for cloudy water after algae treatment has been completed.

Rockies Beat Phillies 6-2

colorado-rockiesPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Wilin Rosario hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and Jorge De La Rosa pitched six strong innings to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.

Drew Stubbs went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI for the Rockies, who had lost four of five while being outscored 16-0 in their two previous games.

Ben Revere hit his first career homer in his 1,466th at-bat, and Darin Ruf also went deep for the Phillies.

The start of the game was delayed 1 hour, 22 minutes due to rain.

De La Rosa (6-3) continued his strong stretch, allowing one run and six hits with four strikeouts and two walks. The left-hander is 6-0 with a 1.58 ERA in his last seven starts.

Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels (1-3) left after the seventh after giving up four runs and three hits with four strikeouts and two walks.

Shakespeare is Alive and Kicking in Canada
  • SumoMe

The 30th Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival is underway. It’s the longest-running theatre festival in North America and attracts an international audience. One of the major attractions this year is David Belke’s new noir comedy-thriller, Forsooth my Lovely.

It’s a wonderful combination of Shakespeare and Dashiell Hamett, author of The Maltese Falcon, with its memorable protagonist, Sam Spade, a gumshoe in the mould of Philip Marlow, the hero of Raymond Chandler’s novels.

The author is David Belke, who first came to the public’s attention twenty years ago with his play, The Maltese Bodkin, where a twentieth century private eye, the hard boiled Birnam Wood, operates in Shakespeare’s London. It’s decidedly postmodern in that this Chandler type protagonist, using the language of the noir novel, and still in his American detective novel persona, navigates his way through seventeenth century London.

Birnam Wood is back. This time he’s investigating a blackmailing case in a plot that’s broadly based on The Taming of the Shrew. The combination of Elizabethan London and Chandler’s 1950s Los Angeles presents some very funny situations. In The Maltese Bodkin, for example,Wood, dressed in a three-piece suit, raincoat and fedora hat, goes into a tavern and chats up the barmaid in his New York English, while her replies are distinctly Elizabethan. The juxtaposioin is not only funny but also thought provoking.

In Forsooth My Lovely Woods goes to Italy. As the play progresses you become aware of the similarities between The Taming of the Shrew and Chandler’s The Big Sleep. The two sisters Kate and Bianca, of the family Wood is investigating are paralleled with those in The Taming of the Shrew. It’s The Taming of the Shrew meets The Big Sleep.

The play is full of characters from Shakespeare’s other plays and who are all beautifully interwoven into the plot. Imagine Humphery Bogart in his Dashiell Hamett role wandering through the maze of Shakespearean situations and characters. That’s Belke’s play.

There is no end to Shakespeare, and if we could look into a world hundreds of years from now I believe we would still be seeing Shakespeare making his entrances in all sorts of ways.

    Overall, very nice quality and love the customized letters. The leather smells a bit, but will leave it to air out a bit, not too thrilled with the lining of the bag...I expected a nicer more refined interior - a little cheap looking.

  • Sat 31 Jan 2015

    Couple of scratches in leather but well received gift and delivered on time.

Sir Paul has been taking drugs since the 1960s

Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that he’s quit his 50-year cannabis habit for the sake of his 8-year-old daughter Beatrice.

Sir Paul, 69, first started using the drug after being introduced to it by Bob Dylan in the 1960s and ex-wife Heather Mills says he was still a regular user during their 6-year marriage, which ended in 2008.

‘I smoked my share,’ admits Sir Paul.

‘When you’re bringing up a youngster, your sense of responsibility does kick in, if you’re lucky, at some point.’

Sir Paul has fallen foul of the law several times over drug-related offences.

He was arrested twice for cannabis possession in the 1970s and was deported from Japan in 1980 when marijuana was found in his suitcase.

He’s also experimented with LSD and other drugs.

‘I did a lot, and it was enough,’ Sir Paul tells Rolling Stone.

‘Enough’s enough – you just don’t seem to think it’s necessary.’
