The Thinking Man sculpture at Musée Rodin in Paris (Photo credit: Wikipedia) CNBNews post NOVEMBER 2007 One-day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more 'just one minute.' Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, or say 'I love you.' So while we have it, its best we love it, care for it, fix it when it is broken and heal it when it is sick. This is true for marriage.... In addition, old cars ... And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We... Read more →

EVESHAM TOWNSHIP NJ (April 28, 2014)--Evesham Township Police Department is attempting to identify a suspect who installed surreptitious surveillance equipment on an ATM located inside the Bank of America, 351 W. Rt. 70. Pictures of the suspect were captured by a security camera inside the ATM when the skimming device was installed. The suspect first attached a small electronic device over the card slot, to record customers’ account information. He then attached a small pin-hole camera to the ATM to record the users entering their PIN number. In most skimming cases the stolen information is later encoded onto blank cards and can be used at ATMs to withdraw funds using the customer's PIN. The Bank of America was able to contact all the victims and close their accounts before any money was stolen. The skimming device was only on the ATM for less than 3hours on Saturday April 26, 2014.... Read more →

TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE April 25, 2014 --There is a reason your flatware drawer has forks, knives, and spoons instead of dozens of sporks. Each utensil is good at something; sporks may claim to be the jack of all utensil trades, but they are master of none. Now imagine that a dozen sporks would cost you more than a dozen complete sets of silverware. In that case outfitting your house with sporks would take you from eccentric to foolish. The new fighter the Pentagon is buying - the most expensive weapon acquisition in history at nearly $400 billion and rising – is the equivalent of a platinum plated spork. The website of prime contractor for the F-35, Lockheed Martin, lists the widely divergent missions the F-35 is expected to meet: air-to-surface, air-to-air, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Command and Control, and Electronic Attack.
