| Lowering expectations
We wish him luck with that but to get several hundred residents to agree to let hunters prowl their back yards is a task easier said than done. Schleifer wants to model the hunt after one that has been ongoing in Morris Township for three years. However, all aspects of the two hunts are as different as night and day. In Morris Township, which actually does manage to cull about 200 deer a year, vast amounts of open space are available for a hunt, so much so, in fact, that Morris has never even had to consider asking residents for the use of their own property. All hunting is conducted on Morris Township-owned land.The need for a hunt is also thought of differently in the two townships. In Hanover Township, a very vocal contingent from the Country Woods and Trail Wood sections of the township have been pleading with the Township Committee for an aggressive hunt, but few elsewhere in the community find the need that pressing.
The Cut-and-Paste Personality
Gallagher's most popular lines. They worked well enough for Jim Carey, a 38-year-old pharmaceutical salesman in Bothell, Wash. He says he wanted women to know he was funny but was too lazy to think up anything. So he copied Mr. Gallagher's essay for his online profile. A year ago, he arranged to meet a woman for drinks. She asked about his operas. He confessed. "I felt like a balloon deflating," he says. Original souls who discover they have been replicated say it's unethical and creepy. "I came across a guy who completely STOLE my profile message," posts one woman in Michigan. "I mean he had to have copied and pasted the whole thing and then just changed gender specific things to fit his own!!" Online daters feel pressure to stand out and believe they must sell themselves like a product, say researchers at Georgetown, Rutgers and Michigan State universities who are conducting a joint study of them.
Bear with Us
Rex Grossman is one of the savviest quarterbacks Steve Young has ever known, and Oprah's syndication happened after the Bears last won a Super Bowl.
FIRST QUARTER
The ever-popular Ben Bohn checks in saying the Bears have another softie on their schedule. I don't think Bears fandom can quite argue that point, but great teams are the ones that win the games they're supposed to. And the Bears have not only won those games, they've well, they've made as good a case as any for a slaughter rule in the NFL. Tony Kornheiser: "In their 85-year history, the Bears have had only three quarterbacks worth your time: Sid Luckman, Jim McMahon, and this kid" Rex Grossman. He then quotes Tina Turner: "They don't do it nice and easy. Oh, no, they do it nice and rough." However, I don't think any of them are gonna leave this good job in the city.
Tell Me About It: She doesn't have to pay forever for error
Dear Carolyn: Guy and Girl date for a year and a half, live together for a year. Girl screws up, loses Boy's trust, Girl moves out, but Boy and Girl still date, albeit in an "open relationship," much to Girl's dismay. Girl knows she did wrong and tries to go with the "open relationship" because she wants to be with Boy, but is finding the "open" part hard to deal with. How does Girl comes to terms with the situation, and enjoy the "open relationship"? -- D.C. Dear D.C.: Girl realizes that no matter how serious her screw-up, she isn't going to fix it by debasing herself. If you can't abide the new terms, then decline to live by them. Tell him you love him, want him, regret hurting him, and will be happy to see him, when and if he stops taking sadistic pleasure in exacting revenge for his pain.
Trial Over Raid on Tribal Smoke Shop Begins Friday
The trial of seven Narragansett Indians arrested for scuffling with police who raided a tribal smoke shop will begin Friday, potentially reopening a painful period between Rhode Island and its only federally recognized American Indian tribe. Lawyers selected sixteen jurors on Thursday who must decide whether Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas, the tribe's leader, and six other defendants are guilty of misdemeanor crimes ranging from disorderly conduct to assault. Each charge carries a maximum one-year prison sentence, although lawyers think it is unlikely any of the defendants would face jail time if convicted. The arrests happened on July 14, 2003, when state police raided a tribal smoke shop in Charlestown that was not collecting state taxes. Jurors were bused to that now-vacant shop Thursday afternoon so they could view the area before testimony begins.
Quentin Tarantino Honored with The 2008 Ray-Ban Visionary Award at ...
NEW YORK, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Quentin Tarantino was honored last night with the 6th Annual Ray-Ban Visionary Award, presented by Ray-Ban and The Creative Coalition, at Harry O's in Park City, UT. Many of Tarantino's friends and peers were close by to celebrate his special recognition, including Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Tim Daly, Sandra Oh and Marcia Gay Harden. http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080121/NYM052-b http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080121/NYM052-c ) "It's particularly cool to get an award from Ray-Ban," commented Mr. Tarantino during his acceptance speech. "When I'm writing my scripts, the only time I've ever really used the brand names as opposed to describing what something is, is Zippo lighters and Ray-Bans. 'He puts on his Ray-Bans as he flips on his Zippo.'" Dennis Hopper, whom Quentin collaborated with in the 1993 hit "True Romance" and 2008's "Hell Ride," presented Quentin with the award designed as a pair gold-plated Wayfarers, one of Ray-Ban's most popular and iconic styles.
Sicilian reggae performer wows Jamaica
A Sicilian-born singer with pale skin and strawberry-blond hair has become one of reggae music's most unlikely heroes after emigrating to Jamaica. Watch Alborosie do his ting on YouTube Alberto D'Ascola, a 32-year-old policeman's son who performs as Alborosie, has conquered the Caribbean island after acquiring dreadlocks, a strong Jamaican accent and the swagger of a reggae star in the seven years since he arrived in Kingston. .

American Axle strike becomes personal to workers
It was a good work atmosphere, and it made me feel like part of the family." But now Monterosso said he feels betrayed. He's one of 3,600 American Axle workers on strike since Tuesday morning in a labor dispute that has become particularly personal for workers at American Axle, running deeper than their fight against demands for steep wage and benefit cuts. Over the years, many workers say they've gotten to know Dauch. They've seen him on the plant floor, shaken his hand and noticed when he knew their names. Dauch, a veteran of Chrysler Corp. and Volkswagen of America, has led the company since buying five General Motors parts plants with a group of investors in 1994. Since then, workers have ridden the rollercoaster with Dauch, from the highs of the SUV and pickup boom to the lows of recent years as sales slow for those products.
Eagles - Birds could be looking for more defensive help in offseason
Trent Cole went to the Pro Bowl, and tackles Brodrick Bunkley and Mike Patterson are solid, but Juqua Thomas might be more of a role player at the end opposite Cole. Rookie Victor Abiamiri played a limited role in six games and didn't record a sack. "I don't know if you ever have enough pressure," Johnson said. "We all want pressure, and turnovers and that . . . toward the end of the year, we became a good third-down team. To me, that's what pressure is, too. We were one of the better teams in the NFL, at least the last four, five games, on third down." Though all signs point to the Eagles looking to add to the d-line, Johnson said not to dismiss the possibility of improvement from within. "I think you're going to see a big difference in a guy like Bunkley, a better pass rusher next year," Johnson said.
Another Look At The 'Does File Sharing Equal Stealing?' Question
Mike i totally agree with you as to section 10-6 (whatever that is ) is in US law not all over the world. so next time at least link to where the rest of us world citizens can find it. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) Re: Re:Absurdly weak examples. by Cygnus by Cygnus on Feb 20th, 2008 @ 9:19am Let's put aside what the RIAA or Microsoft want. You are absolutely correct that both would like to distort copyright law. >> >> why should I not, for example leave that original copy in a >> safe, and play the music on my IPOD? >> You can. That is fair use. >> >>And when I am done with the music "AS LONG AS I DELETE ALL >>COPIES" can I not sell the original to someone else. >> Who says? The copyright is exhausted in that one copy.
Bethlehem Twp. eyed for work-release site
Whether commissioners buy into Stoffa's plan may hinge on whether they consider the facility a prison, or what Stoffa calls it: a treatment facility. It would be in a general industrial zone, which allows treatment centers. However, a prison would require a zoning change.
The project would need approval from the township commissioners and County Council, where Stoffa also may face opposition.
''I think we should be expanding on our existing [prison] campus in Easton,'' said county Councilman Charles Dertinger of Washington Township. ''What happened to that plan? Why are we going off campus?''
Actually, going off campus is the point, Stoffa said. The inmates would have a better chance of avoiding a repeat offense if they're not mixed in with a general prison population that includes inmates charged with rape, homicide and assault, he said.
Jewish folk singer to Christian music matriarch, Lily Isaacs' journey ...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Lily Isaacs is the matriarch of an award-winning Christian music group that combines gospel, bluegrass and country in its latest album, "Big Sky." The Isaacs sing with the Gaithers and have enjoyed significant success in a realm much different than where she began as a Jewish folk singer in New York City. In many ways, Isaacs' unlikely folk-to-gospel music conversion is a snapshot of her spiritual journey from German-born Jewess living in New York to Christian mother of three living in the hills of Tennessee. Isaacs is anything but philosophical about the events that led her from seeking an acting career in Jewish theatre a popular NYC fixture through the 1960s to a ministry in Christian music that has taken her family worldwide. Instead, she shares confidently about the spiritual markers in her life, acknowledging God's mercy in guiding her in her journey of faith.
