Op-Ed: In the Eye of the Beholder | CNBnews.net

Graphic and opinion by Wil Levins

What concerns me about CISPA (The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) is the drastic increase of the Federal Government's authority to gather and share information about us without our knowledge or consent.  If CISPA is passed in its current form it would grant sweeping authority to intelligence agencies, setting the stage for the real potential of abuse by invading our privacy and violating our individual rights.

RNC to Obama: Hey, Remember Those Promises About Lobbyists? By Jim Geraghty April 23, 2012 7:29 A.M. Good morning, Mr. President. The Republican National Committee would like to remind you of your bold, ambitious, unambiguous promises about keeping lobbyists out of your administration from 2008, and how that promise… well, seemed to reach its expiration date particularly early. And often.

Compared to the economy and gas prices, and such, I’m not sure how many voters really are motivated by pledges about lobbyists…  but I suppose we’re about to find out.

Marine discharged over online Obama comments - CNN.com

Washington (CNN) -- A Marine who used his Facebook page to criticize President Barack Obama has been discharged, a Marine Corps spokesman said Wednesday.

Sgt. Gary Stein was given an "other-than-honorable" discharge, said Capt. Brian Block, a spokesman for the Marines.

Among other comments posted to his Facebook page, Stein called Obama a liar and suggested he would not follow some orders issued by the president.

An other-than-honorable discharge is given to a Marine who commits a "serious offense" that significantly differs from conduct expected of a Marine, the Corps said.

A statement from the Marines said it approved the findings of a military board, which in March recommended the discharge.

The board found Stein violated rules limiting political conduct by service members.

The Facebook page for Stein's Armed Forces Tea Party had a post Wednesday saying the discharge will be postponed until the results of a medical condition, with which he was diagnosed Monday, are returned and treatment is discussed.

Rutgers Study: Vitamin E in Diet Protects Against Many Cancers

Researchers find form commonly used in supplements has no such benefit

April 23, 2012

Credit: Skin Care By Louisa

Vitamin E in vegetable oils and nuts prevents cancer, according to research done at Rutgers University and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

Next time you need to choose between vegetable oil and margarine in that favorite recipe, think about your health and reach for the oil.

 

While the question of whether vitamin E prevents or promotes cancer has been widely debated in scientific journals and in the news media, scientists at the Center for Cancer Prevention Research, at Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, and the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, believe that two forms of vitamin E – gamma and delta-tocopherols – found in soybean, canola and corn oils as well as nuts do prevent colon, lung, breast and prostate cancers.

“There are studies suggesting that vitamin E actually increases the risk of cancer and decreases bone density,” says Chung S. Yang, director of the center. “Our message is that the vitamin E form of gamma-tocopherols, the most abundant form of vitamin E in the American diet, and delta-tocopherols, also found in vegetable oils, are beneficial in preventing cancers while the form of vitamin E, alpha- tocopherol, the most commonly used in vitamin E supplements, has no such benefit.”

David Horowitz: 10 Reasons to Impeach Eric Holder

 

Dear DHFC Supporter, 

When Barack Obama vowed to "fundamentally transform America," he already knew who would do his bidding: Eric Holder. 

Holder shares the President's radical vision, but unlike Obama, he doesn't have to pretend to be a moderate. Lucky us! 

As Attorney General, Eric Holder has been an unapologetic radical, launching a crusade against our civil liberties and American values. He's lied repeatedly to Congress about the catastrophic gun running debacle he sponsored in Mexico and the dismissal of a voter intimidation case against Black Panther poll watcher-thugs. He's refused to recognize the Defense of Marriage Act—a law passed by Congress—and he's waged a secret war against the 2nd Amendment. Worst of all, Holder has continually spewed racial intolerance and division. 

The Freedom Center's definitive exposé on Holder, "Ten Reasons to Impeach Eric Holder", is hot off the press, and I want you to have a copy right away. For your immediate tax-deductible donation of $25 or more, I'll rush you this pamphlet.Please follow this link right away to donate.

LARGE BLOOMS OF DIDYMO, AKA “ROCK SNOT,” DISCOVERED IN THE DELAWARE RIVER

Anglers are encouraged to vigilantly clean equipment to prevent the spread of this invader

 

WEST TRENTON, N.J. (April 24) – The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) today announced that a staff scientist last week found extensive mats of the aquatic alga Didymosphenia geminata (also known as Didymo or “Rock Snot”), an invasive species, in the Delaware River.

 

Dr. Erik Silldorff, an aquatic biologist with the commission, on April 18, 2012, discovered large Didymo blooms in the Delaware River over a 40-mile stretch extending from the area near the confluence with the Lackawaxen River (river mile 279) downstream to the vicinity of Dingmans Ferry Bridge (river mile 239).  This section of river includes portions of two National Park units: the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River and the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

 

“We knew Didymo occurred in the river,” Dr. Silldorff said, “but the spatial extent and intensity of this bloom is alarming given its potentially detrimental effect on ecosystems and the ease in which it can be spread to nearby tributaries.”

International luxury car theft ring smashed in Philadelphia area

 

 26 suspects linked to $2.3 million in stolen vehicles

April 17, 2012 HARRISBURG - Attorney General Linda Kelly and Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan today announced a series of arrests in Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland involving suspects linked to an international car theft ring operating in the greater Philadelphia area.

"This was a focused and elaborate operation aimed primarily at high-end luxury cars and sport utility vehicles, often snatched from the car dealership lots or service departments in the communities around Philadelphia and then quickly loaded into shipping containers for delivery to buyers overseas," Kelly said.

"Violence - or the threat of physical harm - also played a role in this operation," Commissioner Noonan noted, "with gun point robberies, home burglaries and carjacking also used to obtain the vehicles that foreign brokers and buyers were seeking."

Bellmawr Baseball/Softball Season Begins | GCN

By Chris Concannon

Gloucester City News

  A nearly cloudless and warm late morning greeted the 2012 Opening Day ceremonies, for both Bellmawr Baseball and Softball, April 14.

  Both Garrity Field on Warren Avenue, along with the “Little League” facilities on Essex Avenue, were abuzz with parents and players following the parade from the St. Joachim (Annunciation) School lot at noon.

  With the Little League running for over 50 years, and their cross-town counterparts nearing that milestone, temperatures were expected to reach the mid 70s by the end of the afternoon.

  As opening ceremonies got underway at Charles Koehler Field (Essex Avenue), a moment of silence was observed for the late Nolan Rozzelle, who passed away earlier this year following a courageous battle with diabetes.

  Rozzelle was a long-time member of Bellmawr Little League, elected to its Hall of Fame, and instrumental in many of the aspects followed to this day.

  Although officially known as Bellmawr Baseball, Little League baseball has transcended time and distance, with leagues and teams all over the world, culminating in the annual Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA.

  A team of 14-15 year-olds managed to garner a Tri-Town Championship in 2009 in the Babe Ruth League.

  Other local, sectional and regional tourneys have been won over the many years of this successful program.

  Council President Lou De Angelo, who, along with Councilman Steve Sauter, threw out the ceremonial first pitches, said that these leagues would not exist were it not for the dedication of all the parents and volunteers.

  Consult the respective league’s websites for official game dates and times.

  Every player and team looks forward to another great season on Bellmawr baseball and softball.

Bellmawr Child Shawn Mendelero Gets Bicycle | GCN

By Tiffany Menderlo

Shawn’s Mother

My son Shawn is 5 years old. At age three, he was diagnosed with Autistic Disorder.

He is the most wonderful child and our family is so blessed to have him in our lives.

Recently, his physical therapist Robin Kanner suggested that a company from Canada called Freedom Concepts do a demonstration of an adaptive bicycle for Shawn to ride.

I agreed but knew that the medical equipment was beyond my price range, to say the least.

On Shawn’s fifth birthday, Freedom Concepts came to his physical therapy session at Weisman Children’s Rehab. Shawn did wonderful on the bike.

Without Robin Kanner I would never have dreamed that my little boy would be able to ride a bike like a big boy, all by himself.

She has been so instrumental in the progress of Shawn’s strength and endurance, and works with our family as a whole to help us help Shawn to reach his full potential.

On April 2, National Autism Awareness Day, Shawn got his bike!

Thanks to the Helping Hands From Heaven (The Lexi Kazian Foundation in Vernon Hills, IL), and the NJ Pediatric Patients Charitable Trust Fund, Inc. (sjkidstrust.org)

These two non-profit organizations funded grants to purchase Shawn’s bike. Thanks for your great generosity. Shawn loves his new bike, now he can ride with big sister, Lynni!

Our family will forever be grateful for the wonderful gift that my son has received!

Autism is an incurable mental illness, but Shawn is doing very well and making progress daily with his school and intensive therapy schedule.

Please remember April is Autism Awareness month help and support the families you may know with children on the spectrum.

  The odds are 1 in 88 children affected, so more than likely you are personally affected by autism. We need to stick together!

  Shawn Mendelero is a resident of Bellmawr. He attends Yale School Southeast, Voorhees Campus.
