In addition to honoring Reihl, the evening also highlighted the successes of recent Freedom House graduates to raise awareness of the growing heroin problem in the state, especially in suburban areas. Donna DeStefano, a New Jersey mother devastated by her daughters own heroin addiction in 2010, was the keynote speaker. DeStefano was featured in the video Mom Knows Best: A Crucial Message for Parents, produced by Partnership for a Drug-Free NJ in cooperation with the Governors Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and the state Department of Human Services. Lead sponsors of the event include Chubb & Son Insurance, Preferred Concepts, LLC, Commercial Mortgage Capital, KRE Group, Navigators Management Company, Inc., The Cavanaugh Family Foundation, and C.R. Bard, Inc.
Reihl has been celebrated for his impact both at Freedom House and on addiction services in the State of New Jersey. Reihl was appointed by Gov. christie Whitman as the first member of the New Jersey Alcohol and Drug Counselors Licensing Committee. He is a faculty member of The Rutgers Summer School of Alcohol Studies. In 2003, Reihl was honored by Sunrise House for his outstanding contribution to the field.
In 2004, he was one of the first counselors to become a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state.
Prior to his appointment at Freedom House, Reihl served as Director of a detox center run by the Bergen County Department of Health.

Excerpt from:
Freedom High School was placed on a modified lockdown on Monday after a threat of violence to the school, according to Orange County Public School officials.
Officials said weekend social media talk about some kind of violence at the school on Taft Vineland Road prompted the modified lockdown.
Parents were alerted of the incident via an Orange Message and extra law enforcement arrived at the school.
The schools principal said the lockdown is standard operating procedure and will continue until law enforcement determines the threat is unfounded.

Prisoners are locked inside steel containers during periods of intense heat Photograph: Photo: Reporters Without Borders
Reporters Without Borders (RWB), the Paris-based press freedom watchdog, has launched a fund-raising campaign based around the plight of jailed journalists in Eritrea, China and Saudi Arabia.
The Eritrean prisoner is Dawit Isaak, who has been imprisoned without trial for 13 years after being arrested along with other newspaper editors in 2001.
Isaak is reported to be dying slowly in a prison camp where detainees are tortured by being shut inside steel containers during periods of intense heat. And RWB has used that image of a container to publicise its campaign.
In his appeal for donations, RWBs secretary-general, Christophe Deloire, writes:
In Eritrea, political prisoners are being detained and tortured, sometimes in steel shipping containers without any form of trial, simply because they expressed their opinion.
What do we know about this shocking situation? Not much, in fact, because the journalists who could tell us about it have all been locked away or murdered by the regime. Precisely because they try to shed light on these atrocities for us, they are often the barbaritys first targets.
Reporters Without Borders supports news media that work to provide us with independent information. So that Eritreans have access to freely-reported, uncensored information, we created Radio Erena, the only independent radio station broadcasting to Eritrea, in 2009.
Our staff strives constantly to support news media for the publics sake. A world without journalists is a closed world, where the most terrible things happen without anyone knowing. We refuse to accept that.
You, too, can provide assistance and defend the cause of all those who fight for one of the pillars of democracy, freedom of information. Make a donation to Reporters Without Borders.

HUNGRY Bradford families are being pushed "over the abyss" by cruel Government policies, a damning report by a group of MPs warns today.
A landmark investigation - backed by the Archbishop of Canterbury - condemns the explosion in food bank use in the city and elsewhere and demands radical change.
In just six months this year, Bradford Central Foodbank, in Jermyn Street, delivered a staggering 21,996 emergency meals.
And the number of people receiving a three-day aid package has grown to 2,444 between April and September this year, compared with 748 in the same period in 2012.
Bradford Metropolitan Foodbank reported a 450 per cent increase in demand between 2011 and 2013. It currently hands out 800 food parcels a month and gave out 1,000 in August.
Food coordinator Ken Leach said: "The benefits system has changed over recent years, and that has been one of the reasons behind the increase.
"We're giving out more than 10,000 parcels a year now, and there is always a need for more donations."
Frances Atkins, assistant food coordinator, said demand had risen ten-fold since she started volunteering for the charity around three years ago.
"We are seeing an increase in the number of families using our services, as opposed to single people, which is a very worrying trend, especially as we head into winter.
"Supermarkets are very important, as there is food thrown away that is perfectly edible.

Says India should leverage its ICT leadership position, use tech-intensive solutions
Bengaluru, December 8:
Dramatic developments in the Information Technology (IT) sector have created an eco-system for the governments to tap technology-enabled solutions for the benefit of the common man, President Pranab Mukherjee has said.
Speaking after launching the Mobile Governance initiative Karnataka MobileOne, Mukherjee said, Not only has the State created a conducive environment for the expansion of the IT sector, it has skilfully combined innovation and government vision to bring about reforms touching the lives of citizens.
E-initiatives such as Bhoomi, which is an online system for land records management; Kaveri, which is a valuation and e-registration system of the Department of Stamps and Registration; e-swathu, which is a software that lists properties in urban local bodies and that has now been integrated with Kaveri; and e-procurement have set governance benchmarks.
Mukherjee said e-governance holds great promise for a quantum leap in governance standards.
The need of the hour is to leverage Indias leadership position in information communication technology to introduce technology-intensive solutions for governance, he said.
The President said Karnataka also has the distinction of being the first Indian State to have a dedicated secretariat for e-governance. I commend your passion to deploy technology in governance. In this context, I want to express my delight at having been associated with the demonstration of 3D holography, which is a cutting-edge technology.
Karnataka, for one, is an IT hub portraying a success story that has few parallels. It contributes 30 per cent of the total software exports of our country, he added.
Many people believe that technology is the prerogative of the privileged and the urban citizens. But, it is our pride that we have been able to integrate applications in Karnataka that are pro-farmers and helpful to the rural citizens, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.

Pranab: Technology holds promise for quantum leap in governance standards
Bengaluru, December 5:
For the General Management Programme for Aerospace and Aviation Executives (GMAE), both Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B) and Toulouse Business School (TBS) are planning to rope in Indian companies and create an eco system as it exists in Europe.
Yes we are looking for companies to partner here. Back in Europe, we have strong links with most of the companies involved in the sector: Airbus International (based in Toulouse), Airbus France, Airbus India, Boeing, ATR, Safran, CNES, Francois Bonvalet, Dean of Toulouse Business School told Business Line.
In France, it is very important long-term support of Airbus which is our strongest assets, he added.
GMAE programme offered by IIM-B and TBS is the first of its kind being offered by any business school in India.
In the first year, the program is dedicated to aerospace and aviation core management and the second year is dedicated to aerospace and aviation sub-sectors, management challenges and supervised projects.
This programme is a professional one, which means that it makes sense as the industry needs it. The industry requires leaders and managers, specially educated and trained, to help the sector develop, Bonvalet said.
A similar program is also being offered at Toulouse and TBS has study centres in Montreal (Canada) and Seattle (USA). Participants can decide whether to study in Bangalore or choose any combinations of these programs and take the unique opportunity to study either in Bangalore, Toulouse, Montreal or Seattle, Bonvalet pointed out.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A series of storms over the Northern Pacific will generate increasingly large west-northwest swells along San Diego beaches this week, prompting meteorologists to issue a beach warning starting late Monday night.
The National Weather Service scheduled a beach hazards statement for local beaches from late Monday night to Saturday evening, saying 4- to 7-foot surf with sets to 9 feet is expected Tuesday afternoon, followed by 10-foot sets Wednesday through Thursday.
The largest surf will likely occur on Friday and Saturday when sets of 12 to 14 feet are possible, according to the Weather Service.
"The swells (will) start to very slowly lower late Saturday into Sunday," the agency said.
A beach hazards statement is issued whenever high surf capable of producing hazardous swimming and surf zone conditions is expected.
"The high surf and strong rip currents will result in dangerous swimming conditions," the NWS said. "Waves may over-top jetties and sea walls at times."

Full Screen collects all of the remarkable videos we've seen in the last 24 hours. Fiver, "Lonesome In This Grave"
The new video from Simone Schmidt's criminally underrated Fiver projectis the gorgeous fruit of a pure collaboration between three otherwise isolated elements: the song's lyrics, the video director and the subject. Toronto artistJeff Bierkexpands his idea of collaborative photography to create an achingly intimate portrait of video star Carl Lance Bonnici, letting the song's themes of slow mortality, decayand longingplay across his face as the words scrawl beneath it, before he commands a display of light against a wall and a brief, fleeting image of the singer.
Bierk explains in an email to Chart Attack:
"The video was made with my friend Carl Lance Bonicci on a break from my day at work. I sell cameras in downtown Toronto, in the neighborhood where Carl hangs out. So I've collaborated with him a few times on other photographs, and we talk daily about all sorts of things including where his photographs are showing and who is looking at them. He says seeing images of himself helps him to reflect on his life and his current situation. He thinks the images are important because they offer a truth about his life in this neighborhood, and most of all he loves the attention. It makes him feel important, he says.
For the video I felt a connection between the lyrics of the song (which I feel could stand alone outside of the song) the imagery they created in my head, and with Carl's face. They both spoke to me about mortality, frailty, longing, isolation and struggle. And of beauty, obviously, since both Carl and the song are so beautiful. For me, art is a real outlet for the weight of these feelings- a necessity to cope with them. The video is a moving portrait of Carl, he shakes, and conjures light to dance. The wall shakes and a faint image of Simone appears. It's about this kind of spiritual connection between the three of us: the shared weight of our own struggles and how we carry it. How the body often feels like a grave, like the song says."
As the Dirty Beaches project drifts slowly towards its completion (and transformation), everything Alex Zhang Hungtai releases carries an air of finality. So it makes sense that Loic Zimmermann's new 15-minute short film for the ambientStatelesstrack "Time Washes Everything Away" is basically Dirty Beaches at its Dirty Beachiest:Hungtai looks upon the strange beauty of some of the moredecrepit, isolated parts of Lisbon, watches panoramic vistas pass bywindows, blows a lonely saxophone. It's an absolute visual representation of the project's geographically-unfixed longing, the one Dirty Beaches has been leading towards.
Father John Misty abandoned his original kitten wedding video idea and its accompanying Huffington Post headline "EX-FLEET FOXES DRUMMER WEDS CATS" because this new song means too much for him. Not that the soft focus kaleidoscope iPadvideo, co-directed by Josh Tillman and his wife Emma Tillman on their wedding anniversary, is any schlockier than the song's lyrical deconstruction of the tacitchasteness of the wedding ritual (an expansion of the brutal "passionate obligation to a roommate" line of "Bored in The USA"). Butthe guy expresses sincerity through carefully deployed irony and song references. So its sweet in its way.
Tillman's press release is hiliarious, so you're getting it in full:
"A few months ago, I had an idea for a music video. I was going to rent a wedding chapel, get a dozen kittens and stage a kitten wedding, over which I would preside and intercut with performance footage of me lip-syncing the song which youre hearing today, Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins).
"Sounds great, right? It may have even gone viral because kittens. If a video goes viral, that means youre reaching a wider audience, and you might even get on a chart. If you get on a chart that means youre streaming more records, and the more records youre streaming the more money you supposedly have for hiring kitten wranglers.

Matthew Lloyd/Bloomberg The UBS logo sits on display outside the headquarters of UBS AG in Zurich, Switzerland.
UBS Group AG, facing the threat of competition from Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., has turned to a Singapore-based technology company that uses artificial intelligence for help delivering personalized advice to the banks wealthy clients.
Sqreem Technologies Pte. Ltd. beat some 80 teams competing in the Innovation Challenge, a contest organized by Switzerlands biggest bank that offered S$40,000 ($30,000) and a potential contract to the winner. Their task: Extract the information most relevant to an individual client from an explosion of data and deliver this tailored content to clients mobile phones, iPads and other digital devices.
Banking is one of the most rudimentary industries when it comes to digitalization, Dirk Klee, chief operating officer for UBS wealth management and responsible for digital initiatives, said in an interview. EBay, Amazon - everything is getting more and more digital. The question is how we translate this into a similar experience for our clients.
Big global banks like UBS are turning to technology to mine data for insight on its customers that could help lenders stay competitive in the digital era. The introduction of mobile payment systems offered by Internet giants like Google Inc. and Apple Inc. has alerted traditional banks to the potential threat from tech companies with vast databases and the knowhow to exploit them.
Information Overload
We have the data! Too much of it! UBS, the worlds biggest wealth manager, said in a web posting announcing the competition in September. Across the industry, clients are overwhelmed by data.
More than 70 percent of financial institutions in North America believe that big data analytics, as this field of engineering is known, offers them a significant advantage over their competition, Cap Gemini SA said in a 2014 report. More than 90 percent believe that successful big data initiatives will determine the winners of the future, the consultancy said.
Five finalists vied to win over a panel of judges at the banks offices in Singapore on Nov. 28. Klee said the bank chose Asia as the venue because, in addition to being a hub for wealth management, clients in the region are more likely to use mobile phones and other digital devices to interact with the bank.

TIME Business technology Industry Gathering Aims to Reshape Future of Americas Drone Business Getty Images How Robofestan informal meeting of aerospace industry veterans, government insiders, and Beltway think tankersaims to reshape the U.S. commercial drone industry
At Robofest, first things first. First theres the wine, provided courtesy of one of the Washington, D.C. areas most influential aerospace consultancies. Once youve filled your plastic cupthis affair is more backyard barbecue than society eventtheres the meet and greet, an opportunity to check out the credentials of those around you: an aerospace industry executive, the economic development chief for a western U.S. state, a dean of engineering for a prestigious American university, several D.C. think tankers, lobbyists, lawyers. But the very first person you meet is Darryl Jenkins, chairman of the American Aviation Institute, consultant to airlines and aviation companies and host and creator of todays event.
Jenkins is a well-known personality in the aerospace and aviation realms. Hes been in the room for more or less every major airline merger and bankruptcy restructuring over the past few decades. Hes spent his career lecturing to and on the aerospace industry, having taught for several semesters at George Washington University while publishing countless papers and research reports as well as one book on the industry. Hes the guy that goes on Bloomberg TV and CNBC to explain these things to the world. Jenkins knows a whole lot of influential people in the aviation and aerospace worlds. A lot of those people are here at Robofest today. They, like Jenkins, share a keen interest in the next generation of aerospace technologythe various unmanned aerial systems commonly and collectively known as drones.
Its a pitch-perfect afternoon in late October when Robofest takes place. The setting is Jenkins secluded home in the Shenandoah foothills. This years event is the second in two years, already known as an off-the-record social date that is evolving into an industry movement that Jenkins hopes will pave the way forward for the burgeoning commercial drone industry. (Fortune obtained special permission to write about the event.) On the agenda: An open discussion on how to best move the industry forward, andof coursea bit of drone flying. But first, theres wine and then lunch. No one wants to reshape an entire industry on an empty stomach.
Last years Robofest was mostly a recreational and social affair, Jenkins says. This yearwith some of the more influential minds within the industry, state and federal government, and academia all gathered on his back patioJenkins wants to do more than just talk about what can be done. The drone industry largely sees itself as hamstrung by an overreaching and underfunded Federal Aviation Administration. The industry believes it is increasingly outgunned by foreign competitors operating in more permissive regulatory environments. Jenkins and his assembled cast of industry veterans, lawyers, entrepreneurs, lobbyists, and government insiders want to change that.
When I think about all the airline mergers and bankruptcies Ive been through with this industry, I feel like an old man, Jenkins says, calling his 80 or so guests to order. When I think about UAS technology, Im 16 again. As his guests finish tucking into plates of fried chicken and pasta salad, Jenkins reminds his guests that the point of this gathering is not to sit around throwing rocks at the FAA, an activity that has become an organized sport for advocates of a commercialized drone industry. Today is about hammering out some concrete steps that the industry can take in the near term. Its about keeping the industry marching forward despite bureaucratic inertia.
Jenkins turns the floor over to his keynote speaker, the former CEO of a major Fortune 500 aerospace and defense company and vocal supporter of the drone industry. His comments set off a spirited discussion about what the industry needs, how it can nudge the FAA in the right direction, andmost importantlywhat the industry can do on its own without help from the FAA. (The theme of this years Robofest: Doing it Ourselves.)
No single voice or interest dominates the discussion. Among those that speak up are academics, former FAA officials, aerospace industry executives, drone entrepreneurs looking to build new companies around UAS technologies and services, local law enforcement, and U.S. intelligence employees. One is a lawyer who specializes in the nascent new practice of drone law. Another represents the newly formed D.C. drone lobby backed by Google and Amazon. There are even realtors interested in using drones for aerial photography, which is currently prohibited by the FAA, and a sailing coach interested in applying drones to maritime sport.
Above all, there is money present. Representatives of a $2.2 billion investment fund aimed specifically at drone infrastructuresuch as air traffic control technologies to allow drones to safely operate alongside conventional aircraft in U.S. airspaceweigh in during the discussion. For more than an hour the discussion ping-pongs around Jenkins crowded, sun-dappled patio.
There is disagreement but also plenty of consensus. The large drone industry is well represented on Capitol Hill through the defense and aerospace industries, but the small UAS industryrepresenting aircraft that weigh less than 55 lbs.needs to better organize and represent itself, the group agrees. Small UAS need size-specific regulations so that a five-pound drone flying at 300 feet is treated differently than a large drone. And most of all, the industry needs to work with the FAA, rather than rail against itotherwise, little progress will occur.
