INTRODUCTION image credit/cnbnews.net “A small change can make a big difference. You are the only one who can make our world a better place to inhabit. So, don’t be afraid to take a stand .” ― Ankita Singha GLOUCESTER CITY NEW JERSEY- - Leaders of the Gloucester City Democrat Party Machine (GCDPM), and their minions, have always wanted to control the information that you the public were receiving from the media. The GCDPM also takes issue with anyone who has an opposing view. This two-part series is about my off and on clash with the GCDPM over this Freedom of Speech issue during the past 33 years. It will include incidents that happened when I was publisher and editor of the Gloucester City News until now as editor and owner of ClearysNoteBook (CNBNews.net), a 24-7 blog established in 2006. ~William E. Cleary Sr., CNBNews Editor PART ONE WHEN IT BEGAN “Quite frankly, having an uninformed populace works extremely well, particularly when you have a media that doesn't understand its responsibility and feels more like it's an arm of a political party. They can really take advantage of an uninformed populace.” ~Benjamin Carson By William E. Cleary Sr. CNBNews.net Above: Gloucester... Read more →

PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 6, 1986 Gloucester City News By William E. Cleary Sr. Publisher and Editor Now that the November 4th election is over there is a need to correct certain accusations that were made by the Gloucester City Democrat Club against this newspaper and its owners. The political propaganda that was distributed throughout the city by the local Democrat Club in October, and again last weekend, claimed upon other things that the Gloucester City News is biased in its reporting because of a personal relationship with Mayor Robert Bevan. If we were biased, this response to that accusation and others would have been written prior to the election in the hopes of swaying the outcome. Not wanting to do that, we have waited until after the election to make our comments. We never knew our accusers since no one signed their name to the article which was entitled “Opinion.” As such, we have to assume the statements made were the feelings of the entire Democrat Club. We welcome constructive criticism but the Democrat Club’s attack on this newspaper exceeded the bounds of common decency. In fact, it was nothing more than sleazy politics. A journalist prides his or herself on... Read more →

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – As New Jersey’s policymakers consider establishing a minimum standard for paid sick days, the Center for Women and Work (CWW) at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey has released an issue brief on the subject that finds an overwhelming majority (83 percent) of state residents of all political affiliations support paid sick day policies. While there is a great deal of public support, results reported in, It’s Catching: Public Opinion toward Paid Sick Days in New Jersey, document a persistent need: 37 percent of state residents currently lack access to paid sick days, particularly Hispanic and Latino workers, younger workers and those who work part time or earn less than $50,000 per year. “Over 37 percent of New Jersey residents work in jobs with no paid sick days,” said Linda Houser, CWW affiliate fellow, assistant professor at Widener University and co-author of the report. “This proportion is significantly higher for some of New Jersey’s most vulnerable citizens – low-income earners, part-time workers and young adults. Additionally, over 50 percent of these workers cited concerns about financial affordability, job loss or bad performance reviews as having an impact on their decision about taking time off from...

By Mark Lagerkvist | New Jersey Watchdog A blowout win by Gov. Chris Christie in next week’s election might be great for his presidential ambitions in 2016. AP file photo ANY COATTAILS: Does New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have enough swing to pull in Republican majorities in the state House and Senate? Yet it probably won’t help his fellow Republicans win majorities in the New Jersey Legislature. A Rutgers-Eagleton poll found that 50 percent of voters want Democrats to keep control of the Statehouse. Just 38 percent would prefer the GOP to take over in Trenton. In contrast, Christie has a 24-point lead over his Democratic challenger. He leads Sen. Barbara Buono by 59 percent to 35 percent, according to the most recent Monmouth University poll of likely voters. “Right now, voters seem to be quite happy to split their tickets, supporting a Republican governor and a Democratic Legislature,” said David Redlawsk, director of the Rutgers-Eagleton poll. Christie’s campaign brags that 58 elected Democrats, including Sen. Brian Stack, D-Union City, have jumped on the bandwagon to publicly endorse him for re-election. “This campaign – and these past three years – has been about bringing people together from both sides of...

Dr. Murray Sabin writes: Can Senate President Steve Sweeney collect payments from a labor union for “political activities and lobbying”, while a member of the Legislature? It would appear to me to be an existential conflict of interest. Here is a synopsis of the situation. As Senate President, Steve Sweeney is paid $49,000 per year, plus an “allowance equal to 1/3 his compensation” ($16,333) for a total of $65,333. Steve Sweeney is also an official with the Iron Workers union. As a general organizer paid through the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers Union, AFL-CIO, Sweeney received a base salary of $165,264 in 2012. In addition to his base salary, Sweeney also received compensation in the form of allowances and disbursements for expenses. His total compensation through the International in 2012 was $206,092. l In addition, Sweeney received allowances of $21,351 as President of Iron Workers District Council of Philadelphia and Vicinity. In 2012, Sweeney's total compensation through the Iron Workers was $227,443 The Department of Labor requires public disclosure by labor unions of how union dues are spent.

THE MEANING OF SAINTHOOD: TO BE FULLY ALIVE IN JESUS CHRIST PHILADELPHIA PA--Some years ago a friend told me that she secretly thought of the saints as boring. They smile at us sweetly from holy cards. Their lives can seem implausible compared to people more famous for their vices. And who would really want to be a saint, anyway? As Billy Joel once said, “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.” But when we come to understand holiness rightly, we see that it's anything but boring. Sanctity isn’t a matter of sentimental posturing or being nice. Sanctity is about being passionately in love with Jesus Christ. The saints are men and women who glowed white-hot with the Holy Spirit. They lived fully what Father Richard John Neuhaus once called “the high adventure of Christian discipleship.” And that's truly what the heart of sainthood is: not a life of legalistic drudgery, but a high adventure. Think about the women and men we venerate as saintly: Mother Teresa, Francis Xavier, King Louis IX of France, Gianna Beretta Molla, Pier Giorgio Frassati, Catherine of Siena. They lived some of the most compelling lives... Read more →

By Michelle Andrews OCT 28, 2013 What a difference a day makes. Consumers who buy a health insurance policy good for only 364 days might save hundreds of dollars in premiums, but they could also find themselves without important benefits and charged a penalty for not having insurance next year. Under the health care law, in January most issuers have to start accepting all applicants regardless of their medical conditions and offer plans with comprehensive benefits that limit out-of-pocket costs. But short-term medical plans, defined as policies with terms lasting less than 12 months, can sidestep all the law’s new requirements. A number of insurance vendors are taking advantage of this loophole and offering plans with skimpier coverage that last up to 364 days. “I am concerned that health insurers will try to … sell people coverage that yes, may come with a cheaper sticker price, but that may expose them to significant financial risks down the line,” says Sabrina Corlette, project director at Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms. In addition to inadequate coverage, consumers who rely on short-term plans will likely face a penalty next year for not having insurance because the plans don’t qualify as “minimum... Read more →

Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and eight Chicks (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Fall season begins Nov. 2 in most parts of state, season lengths vary by WMU. Turkey hunters preparing to head afield during Pennsylvania’s annual fall season are urged to review the opening and closing dates that apply within the Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) they hunt. The fall season has been lengthened by a week in some WMUs, and shortened by a week in others. Additionally, a WMU might have a later opening date, a weeklong or shorter season, or could be closed to fall turkey hunting altogether. “Different sets of rules apply to different areas, and in a lot of areas, season lengths have changed this year,” said Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe. “Now is the time for hunters to check and make sure the season lengths in areas they hunt haven’t changed.” In most of the state, the fall turkey season opens Saturday, Nov. 2. There are exceptions, however. In WMU 5A, a three-day season begins Tuesday, Nov. 5. Meanwhile, WMUs 5B, 5C and 5D remain closed to fall turkey hunting. The fall turkey season dates are outlined on page 35 of the 2013-14 Pennsylvania Hunting &... Read more →

NJOA PRESS RELEASE "Attending the sportsmen's rally may well be the single thing sportsmen and sportswomen can do to secure the future of fishing, hunting, trapping, and natural resource conservation for generations to come." Anthony Mauro, Chairman, NJOA We've witnessed it for stretches that last decades, people in political power that do not understand outdoors issues and who write laws and policies that erode our basic freedoms to fish, hunt, trap, and access the great outdoors. In fact, in 2007, there was actually a bill that would have banned freshwater fishing and hunting in New Jersey. Sportsmen and sportswomen now have the chance to thank Governor Christie for slowing this trend, and the opportunity to reverse it during the next four years. It is possible that it could be decades before New Jersey has another governor that understands the conservation and economic benefits provided by sportsmen and women. Sportsmen's Rally Date: Sunday, November 3rd Time: 4:30 PM Place: Camp Jefferson Amphitheatre 81 Weldon Road Lake Hopatcong, NJ The "Sportsmen's Rally" will set the tone for the next 4 years.

Press release October 30, 2013 Suspended Paulsboro High School biology teacher Michael Furey (DOB 12/2/63), of West Deptford NJ was found guilty today (10/29) of official misconduct and luring, specifically by pretending to be a boy on the Myspace social networking service in an effort to have a sexual encounter with one of his students. In Furey’s non-jury trial, the student testified she thought the messages she was receiving in 2010, some of them very sexual in nature, were coming from someone her own age. “Nobody could contact me unless they were under the age of 18,” she specified in setting up a filter on her Myspace account. She was then a 17-year-old junior. But one night in June 2010, she realized that the messages were coming from Furey, the student said. Testifying before Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. on 9/10, the girl described her reaction to seeing Furey parked in a car in Paulsboro, flashing his headlights as she walked home from a friend’s house, along a street only her friend and the message-sender would have known she had taken: “I told him he was a creeper and I started walking away,” she testified. She was “shell-shocked,” she said.... Read more →

Katz rejects buyout offer, open to outside management of Inquirer 'Lion and Leopard' charts 19th century artistic clash centered at PAFA Audio timeline of NBC10 coverage Dave Davies [email protected] The battle over the future of the Philadelphia Inquirer has taken an interesting turn, with co- owner George Norcross and his allies publicly offering to buy out adversaries Lewis Katz and H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest for $29 million. Katz summarily rejected the notion in a brief telephone interview, but indicated he'd be open to an idea proposed by the Newspaper Guild that the warring sides bring in an "impartial industry expert" to run Interstate General Media, the company that owns the Inquirer, Daily News, and Philly.com. The warfare among company owners erupted in the wake of the Oct. 7 firing of Inquirer editor-in-chief Bill Marimow. Katz and Lenfest sued Norcross and the company in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, arguing that Marimow's dismissal violated an agreement among investors that major decisions require the approval of a two-person management committee consisting of Katz and Norcross. Norcross and publisher Bob Hall counter-sued Katz and Norcross in Delaware, where the company is registered, charging Katz had violated an agreement to stay out of the journalistic decisions...

press release October 29, 2013 Groups combine to pledge $3,800 for information leading to conviction in Elk County. A reward is being offered in relation to a bull elk that was shot illegally earlier this month. The 5- by 5-point bull was found injured and hiding in a patch of goldenrod soon after daylight on Oct. 15, near Benezette, Pa. in Elk County. The elk is believed to have been shot at about 3 a.m., when residents of Winslow Hill, near Benezette, heard several shots. The elk apparently was shot while in the front yard of a nearby residence, and it hobbled about 100 yards before lying down. The injuries left the elk unable to further walk or get back up. Due to its injuries, the elk had to be put down by Pennsylvania Game Commission officers. Wildlife Conservation Officer Doty McDowell, who responded to the site where the elk was found, called the illegal shooting a senseless act. “Whoever did this has no respect for elk, but also little regard for human life,” McDowell said, pointing out the elk was shot within close proximity of several homes. The illegal shooting has prompted many in the Elk County area to... Read more →

By David Vergun Army News Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2013 - Hurricane Sandy stormed ashore in Brigantine, N.J., on Oct. 29, 2012. Soldiers with the 28th Military Police Company, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, prepare to depart from Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., Nov. 4, 2012, to support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts in the New York City area. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Ted Nichols (Click photo for screen-resolution image);high-resolution imageavailable. The storm carved a swath of destruction from Florida to Maine and its fury was felt as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains, and as far west as Michigan and Wisconsin. "We had to be ready to respond big and fast -- so the National Guard deployed in multiple states, creating ground task forces in advance of Hurricane Sandy," said Army Gen. Frank J. Grass, chief of the National Guard Bureau. In the aftermath, more than 9,100 citizen-soldiers and airmen had boots on the ground across 12 states. Dual-status commanders were appointed to oversee and coordinate military response operations in affected areas in New Jersey and New York. Now, one year later, post-storm rebuilding and recovery continues. "Although it took only a matter of hours for Hurricane Sandy to cause... Read more →

(Trenton) – NJDOT today announced plans to implement a permanent new striping pattern along Route 168 from north of Interstate 295 (milepost 7.5) to Merchant Street (milepost 8.6) which is designed to improve safety and mobility for all users of the road while relieving vehicular congestion in Mount Ephraim and Haddon Heights, Camden County. NJDOT’s maintenance contractor, South State, Inc., is scheduled to begin temporary striping activities On Wednesday night, October 30. The new striping plan will retrofit the highway and reduce the number of travel lanes from four (two in each direction) to two travel lanes (one in each direction) with a dual-use center turn-lane in between them. The existing lane configuration on Route 168 does not include dedicated left-turn lanes which can lead to considerable backups in the inside "high-speed" through lane and great difficulty in making left turns. The presence of the new dual-use center turn-lane serves to free up traffic to operate more orderly and efficiently. This type of retrofit project is often times referred to as a "road diet". NJDOT has performed similar adjustments to a stretch Route 45 in Woodbury and along Route 9 in Lakewood to help improve traffic flow and safety. The... Read more →

By John Reynolds/Diary of a Madman I emailed this to the editors of a few of our local newspapers that come out with a print editions a couple of weeks ago to try and prod them into taking a critical look at our local candidates in order to help the electorate make a more informed decision at the polls, and not get bamboozled by the deceptive marketing tactics used by the well financed incumbents bombarding our mailboxes with campaign ads. I had time to kill and Googled (insert your favorite town) and the names of various newspaper URLs that cover the Delaware Valley and South Jersey. I came up with police blotter reports, high school sports scores, puff pieces based on press releases put out by the towns, and an occasional letter that took a critical look at what was going on in local government written by a resident and submitted to the "Opinions and Letters" section of the paper.

A BLOG BY DAVE DAVIES NEWSWORKS OCTOBER 22, 2013 Strange days. I'm sitting in a city hall courtroom to witness the official gathering of combatants in the crossfire lawsuits over the sudden firing two weeks ago of Philadelphia Inquirer editor Bill Marimow. It's a dispute that could leave the paper in leadership limbo for months, years maybe, while its bitterly feuding owners litigate their differences. How crazy is it? Sitting there waiting for things to begin, I decide to do a rough estimate of the legal costs of the proceeding. I figure conservatively, the meter was running at $100 per minute (10 lawyers, averaging $600 an hour). And just for fun, another reporter and I estimate the cost of the suits among the lawyers and other parties - easily $25,000 worth of threads on the other side of the rail from the riff-raff. If you're new to this story, see this post which gives some context to Marimow's firing and the battle among the owners. Publisher Bob Hall fired Marimow, and two owners, businessman Lew Katz and philanthropist H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest sued, charging that the agreement among the owners required the approval of both Katz and South Jersey businessman George... Read more →

10/28/13 A Florida detective was shot and killed while investigating a residence believed to house a meth lab. An Arizona deputy sheriff lost his life responding to a burglary alarm at a business. A Washington state park ranger was shot and killed after she attempted to conduct a traffic stop. These three law enforcement officers were among the 48 officers around the nation who died in 2012 as a result of felonious incidents in the line of duty, according to the FBI’s latest Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) report. All 48 officers would have undoubtedly considered their actions a part of the job. But the duties performed by these brave men and women—and others just like them—are far from routine, and this latest report continues to highlight the risks law enforcement officers face on a daily basis. Among the report’s findings: The average age of the officers feloniously killed in action in 2012 was 38; they had an average of 12 years of service. The victims worked in a variety of positions—many on vehicle patrol but also as detectives, officers on special assignments, undercover officers, etc. They died in a variety of situations—arrests, traffic pursuits or stops, investigations...

October 28, 2013 Bill Donohue comments on last Friday's edition of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the HBO show: Bill Maher's latest show was a bigoted bash fest featuring Valerie Plame and Michael Moore, and, of course, himself. Al Sharpton was also one of the panelists, but he didn't say anything untoward (regrettably, the Reverend also didn't say anything to challenge the religion bashers). More surprisingly, Britain's star atheist, Richard Dawkins, behaved himself. Maher began by observing that Pope Francis had fired the German "bishop of bling" because he was "getting the altar boys drunk on Cristal." That no bishop was "fired" is besides the point—Maher reeks with hatred toward Catholics. After Sharpton noted there were Christian members of the Klan who burned crosses, Plame said, "Yeah, but now there are Christian Dominionists that are just as extreme." Too bad she didn't name one. Since Christian bashers like to finger Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry as Dominionists, perhaps Plame has footage of them acting like Klansmen. She ought to apologize for her irresponsible remark. Maher then spoke about Christians and Muslims. "Look," he said, "I'm no f***ing Catholic or Christian, but one is herpes [Christians] and one is cancer [Muslims]."... Read more →

by Gene Barrett /source AMAC In the wake of embarrassing revelations around the failure of the Obamacare website, rises the most important question for all of us. Should the government be in the business of building and running programs that have functioned successfully for years under private sector management? The current administration made promises that it had brought in the best of the best in technology development, yet these glitches remain a major barrier to the success of its program. The President assures the nation that the nuts and bolts of the Affordable Care Act are still intact, but practically speaking, it’s currently out of reach to most consumers. This debate over failures and glitches, serves as a metaphor for what is a prized American tradition. Allowing the private sector with guidance and oversight from government to facilitate important programs that provide important services. The website failures occurring so early and with such widespread impact on the goals of the program, raise deep concern over potential future failures of this system. What will these website problems look like when millions of Americans have inputted their very private information into the system? How can we expect the government to account for... Read more →

| AMAC Authors, Press Release WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 25 – Seniors who went back to work after retirement used to do it to keep busy, but the Obama Recession and the uncertainties of the Affordable Care Act have made it an economic necessity for more and more older Americans, according to Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. “Two recent Gallup surveys show that there are more post-retirement job seekers out there than ever before, mainly because they’ve lost confidence in the economy. The historically destructive recession that started as the president took office and his inability to speed up the recovery have seniors scrambling for ways to salvage what’s left of their retirement. Bear in mind that while the net worth of all Americans has declined sharply during this period, seniors have been hardest hit.” In one study released a few days ago, Gallup concluded that “Americans’ biggest financial concern is funding their retirement, with 61% worried about having enough money for that. This worry has been exacerbated by the recession’s aftermath, which has perhaps caused more seniors and baby boomers near retirement age to remain in the workforce and postpone retirement until they have replenished...

press release October 28, 2013 During the months of September and October of 2013, the Borough of Pine Hill experienced an increase in residential burglaries, all with similar characteristics. During the weeks of October 13th and October 20th the Pine Hill Detective and Patrol Bureaus conducted surveillance on three possible suspects, who were initially identified through reviewing area business surveillance cameras.

Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office press release October 28, 2013 WOODBURY NJ--Gone is the Almonesson Road home in Deptford where 17-year-old Patrick O’Neill was fatally shot when he walked in on what was probably a burglary on Oct. 30, 1975. The farmhouse the O’Neill family called home, that became a crime scene, was demolished years ago. What remains is the Deptford High School boy’s grave in New St. Mary’s Cemetery in Bellmawr NJ and the continued determination of his three brothers and the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office to learn who killed Patrick in his house that afternoon. The murder is one of Gloucester County‘s oldest unsolved homicides. Patrick’s older brother, Michael O’Neill, now living in Louisiana, is using a Facebook page this month to post pictures that appeared in news coverage after the shooting.. He hopes that these would “prod people’s memories and perhaps a conscience or two” O’Neill said in an e-mail. Meanwhile, GCPO Det. William Perna is continuing an investigation that has passed through the hands of a number of Deptford, county and State Police officers over the last 38 years. After reorganizing the three-carton file of information about the case and re-interviewing many of the people who police... Read more →

Rutgers scientists investigate excess protein production in brain cells Sunday, October 27, 2013 By Robin Lally Scientists at Rutgers University studying the cause of a rare childhood disease that leaves children unable to walk by adolescence say new findings may provide clues to understanding more common neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and developing better tools to treat them. Courtesy of A-T Children's Project Andrew, 14, who has A-T disease with his brother, Brendan, 12, who did not inherit the rare childhood neurodegenerative disorder. In today’s online edition of Nature Neuroscience, professors Karl Herrup, Ronald Hart and Jiali Li in the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience, and Alexander Kusnecov, associate professor in behavioral and systems neuroscience in the Department of Psychology, provide new information about A-T disease, a rare genetic childhood disorder that occurs in an estimated 1 in 40,000 births. Children born with A-T disease have mutations in both of their copies of the ATM gene and cannot make normal ATM protein. This leads to problems in movement, coordination, equilibrium and muscle control as well as a number of other deficiencies outside the nervous system. Using mouse and human brain tissue studies, Rutgers researchers found that without ATM,... Read more →

Atlantic City (United States) (AFP) October 27, 2013 at 2:16:35 AM EDT Maddie Meyer/Getty Images/AFP Bernard Hopkins throws a left at Karo Murat during their light heavyweight fight in Boardwalk Hall Arena on October 26, 2013 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which Hopkins won by unanimous decision Bernard Hopkins, already the oldest fighter to win a major world title, retained his International Boxing Federation light heavyweight belt with a unanimous decision over Karo Murat on Saturday. Murat, a German of Armenian descent, was the more active fighter early on, but the 48-year-old Hopkins showed he was willing and able to go toe-to-toe with his 30-year-old foe. Two ringside judges scored the 12-round bout at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall 119-108 for Hopkins, while a third saw it 117-110 for the US champion who improved to 54-6-2 with 32 knockouts. Murat fell to 25-2-1, with 15 wins inside the distance. He said he wasn't troubled by Hopkins's trademark gamesmanship -- which included a tongue-wagging taunt in the third round and a quick kiss on the challenger's neck in a clinch in the fifth. But Murat, fighting in theUnited States for the first time, said he was distracted by a cut over his... Read more →

ARCHBISHOP CHAPUT’S WEEKLY COLUMN: In every age the Church has the task of learning from and respecting the past without being captured by it. As the world changes, so do the pastoral needs of the Catholic community. In a city as rich in Catholic history as Philadelphia, we need to treasure the saints and achievements of previous generations. But real faith is more than nostalgia. We need to look ahead. We need to carry the legacy of the Church in Philadelphia forward by thinking and building creatively for the future today. How do we do that? Renewing the Church takes more than fixing our financial problems and streamlining structures. These things are vital to good stewardship, and they can’t be postponed or avoided. But they’re not the heart of the matter. Love for Jesus Christ and zeal for sharing the Gospel: These are the things that count. All genuine institutional renewal drills down to the conversion and right formation of the human heart. In the Catholic experience, that “right formation” begins with the priest, because in pastoring his people – teaching them, encouraging them, leading them in worship, sharing their sufferings and joys – the priest makes Jesus present to...

The UFC back with another free fight card on Fox Sports 1, following last week’s epic pay-per-view that saw Cain Velasquez retain his heavyweight title in a brutal and efficient fashion. Saturday’s free fight card will be headlined by an interest, but predictable bout between Lyoto ‘The Dragon’ Machida and Mark Munoz. Machida is a big favorite over Munoz at -360, and has faced bigger and stronger wrestlers at light heavyweight and should be able to easily dispatch the 185 pounder with out much of an issue. This matchup will be Machida’s first foray into the Middleweight division and could be the first step in revitalizing his career after being shut out of the 205 title picture after a one-sided loss to champion Jon Jones. Here are the odds for every fight on Saturday’s card.

OCTOBER 24, 2013 PRESS RELEASE The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that a federal grand jury in Harrisburg returned an indictment today charging William Trickett Smith, Sr., age 76, with attempting to arrange a prison escape, lying to federal agents about it, and trying to persuade someone else to lie to federal agents. According to United States Attorney Peter J. Smith, the charges stem from events surrounding the arrest and extradition of the defendant’s son, William Trickett Smith, II. In 2007, Smith, II was arrested in Pennsylvania, and charged in Peru for the murder of his wife. Peruvian authorities sought his extradition. The indictment alleges that during 2009 and 2010, Smith, Sr., of Harrisburg, devised a plan to have his son escape from custody after Smith, Sr. filed a false private criminal complaint by paying off a magisterial district justice to schedule a hearing that would require Smith, II to be transported and paying off a constable who would be picked to transport him. The indictment alleges that when the plan failed because the criminal complaint was not approved by the district attorney, Smith, Sr. then allegedly devised another plan for his son’s escape...

— 46 COUNTY COPS COLLECT $8.3M/YR IN PENSIONS PLUS SALARIES Investigative Report by Mark Lagerkvist Posted on October 24, 2013 Eighty percent of New Jersey’s county sheriffs are double-dippers. Next month’s election will do little, if anything, to change that fact. A New Jersey Watchdog investigation found that 17 of the 21 sheriffs collect state pensions as law enforcement retirees in addition to their six-figure salaries. Their payrolls include 29 undersheriffs who are also double-dipping. Overall, those 46 top cops rake in $8.3 million a year – $3.4 million in retirement pay plus $4.9 million in salaries. (Click here for complete list.) On average, they get $181,033 a year – $107,145 in county pay and $73,888 from pension. Ten counties will elect sheriffs on Nov. 5, but voters in eight of those counties will be stuck with a double-dipper no matter what. In five counties – Bergen, Passaic, Middlesex, Morris and Hunterdon – either major party candidate, if elected, would join the ranks of twin-scoopers. Here are the current sheriff salaries and the annual state retirement pay received by each contender: Bergen County, $138,000 salary. Incumbent Michael Saudino (R), $129,984 pension; James Mordaga (D), $75,600 pension. Passaic County, $151,887 salary.... Read more →

Behavioral analysis seeks to understand the behavior, experiences, and psychological make-up of criminals and suspects for insights that could solve cases. It played a role in the case of serial killer Ted Bundy. 10/23/13 In the final days of 1977, a man now known as one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history—Theodore “Ted” Bundy—cleverly escaped from a Colorado prison while most of the staff was away for the holidays. FBI agents quickly joined the search. In early February 1978, the Bureau placed Bundy on its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Among the information shared by the FBI with law enforcement during this time were details on his “M.O.” (modus operandi or method of operation). Bundy typically looked for victims at places where young people gathered, such as colleges, beaches, ski resorts, and discos, the FBI explained. And he preferred young, attractive women with long hair parted in the middle. A Founding Father of Behavioral Analysis Howard Teten’s fascination with criminal psychology started early in his law enforcement career. A Marine Corps sergeant and photographer during the Korean War, he took a job with the Orange County (California) Sheriff’s Department in 1956. His budding interests in photography and...
