December 12, 2007 at 9:24 A.M. hackers are preventing me from accessing my hotmail account or group at msn. I will continue to struggle to reach those sites during the day. An attempt to print an item from my msn group Critique, yields only a balnk pice of paper, with the following legend at the upper left corner of the page: "virtual1_728x90_001.tpl" (Trenton Police?) and I am blocking:

"Camden: School Board Chief is Guilty," The New York Times, December 11, 2007, at p. B2.
Kareem Fahim, "Killer Who Escaped From Mental Hospital Commits Suicide After Recapture," in The New York Times, December 11, 2007, at p. B6.
"The Pleasantville Board of Education president, James A. Pressley, ... pleaded guilty yesterday in Federal District Court to attempted extortion, admitting that he accepted more than $40,000 in bribes from federal agents posing as business men seeking contracts with the Pleasantville School District. (Only one "error" since my previous review.) Mr. Pressley has admitted that he took bribes in exchange for assistance in obtaining contracts for a fictitious recycling company and for his votes on a fictitious insurance contract. He was arrested on Set. 6 with 10 current and former [N.J.] officials."
Mr. Pressley is young and African-American. He is not "fictitious." The familiar strategy of the "family-like" organization running things in New Jersey is to make use of ... "buffers" between the bosses and money coming in to the organization. These buffers tend to be young, minority or "ethnic" persons eager for success, who are unaware that they are being set up as sacrificial lambs to be turned over to the feds who always catch up, eventually, with the mob's fun and games.
Has anyone seen Ms. Kay LiCausi? (See "Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks.")
How much of this loot was Mr. Pressley passing along to the bosses in Camden County or Trenton, New Jersey -- whoever those mysterious figures may be. "Watta-ya wanna ask dat for? Geez ... Fruit basket?" No thanks.
Rarely, does a personal injury lawyer discover a matter in which negligence occurs not once, but twice. I don't mean ordinary, carelessness. I mean outright, clear-cut, public imbecility from a defendant with deep pockets where there is substantial injury -- that is every personal injury lawyer's definition of "nirvana." Sure enough, the state of New Jersey has met some personal injury lawyer's wildest wet dreams of sexual or monetary bliss. Get this:
"A mentally disturbed killer [Is there a killer who is not mentally disturbed?] who escaped from a troubled New Jersey psychiatric hospital on Sunday and was captured hours later killed himself early yesterday, while he was supposed to be under the supervision of the hospital's staff, state officials said."
Not only are the rocket scientists at this psychiatric facility -- the Ancora Psychiatric Hospital in Winslow Township, southeast of Camden -- subject to criticism for allegations of abuse and incompetence, sexual violation and brutality, allegedly, but they also decided that it would be a good idea to allow a deranged killer to wander through their gardens searching for new victims.
Learning their lesson, however, upon his recapture, the staff at this facility (who are, obviously, well trained) decided to leave the man, unsupervised, to strangle himself or may have helped to get rid of him altogether in order to solve their legal troubles. Rumors about this establishment have circulated for quite some time. Inmates prefer the worst prison to residence in this disgusting hell hole. In September another inmate escaped, while some patients have been murdered by fellow residents of this Garden State tourist destination.
"Jennifer Velez, [known unofficially as 'Jenny From the Block,'] the Commissioner of the State Department of Human Services, which oversees the five state psychiatric hospitals, said in a statement: 'There will be disciplinary action taken against specific employees involved in this critical lapse. Concurrently, we are assessing the need for the prompt restructuring of hospital management."
Well, I'll tell ya, Jen ... "concurrently," I'd say the need for new hospital staff -- preferably made up of non-morons -- is pretty clear-cut. Needless to say, you will have to search outside of New Jersey's government circles for non-morons. I suggest that you avoid entirely the Trenton judiciary.
