Five members of the 13th-ranked Ohio State men's hockey team received Big Ten honors on Monday.
Sophomore forward Mason Jobst was named to the All-Big Ten first team and recognized as the conference's scoring co-champion with Minnesota sophomore forward Tyler Sheehy, racking up 34 points in conference play. Sheehy won Big Ten Player of the Year.
Jobst had 13 goals and 21 assists in league play, and collected 51 points on 18 goals and 33 assists in the regular season.
A trio of seniors were named to the All-Big Ten second team — goaltender Christian Frey, defenseman Josh Healey and forward captain Nick Schilkey.
Sophomore forward Dakota Joshua was an honorable mention selection, scoring a career-high 11 goals and 22 assists, including nine goals and 11 assists coming in Big Ten play.
On Saturday at Wisconsin, Jobst scored a goal and had an assist to surpass the 50-point barrier for the first time since R.J. Umberger had 53 points in 2003.
Jobst ranks ninth in the NCAA in points per game (1.42), but leads the nation in the category since the start of the second half of the year (1.67).
Following first-team honors in 2016, Healey earned his way onto the second-team all-conference with 24 points on four goals and 20 assists. His plus-18 rating is third among blue-liners in the conference and ranks eighth nationally at his position.
Schilkey was the do-it-all player for the Buckeyes in the regular season. The senior from Marysville, Michigan, led the Big Ten with 26 goals and ranks second in the NCAA with .81 goals per game. The 26 goals are the highest single-season total for one player in the program since 1997. He had 39 points in the regular season, 18 of which came against Big Ten opponents.
Frey ended the season with a .916 save percentage in conference games and a .910 save percentage in the regular season. Frey was injured for part of the season, and shared playing time with fellow senior goaltender Matt Tomkins. Frey was 9-7-3 with one shutout this season.
Senior goaltender Logan Davis received one of six Big Ten sportsmanship awards.
OSU plays in the Big Ten quarterfinals against Michigan State in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

Public, media, and government discussions on welfare are dominated by the notion that the population is divided into those who benefit from the welfare state and those who pay into it, despite the evidence painting a rather different picture. John Hills draws on the revised edition of his book Good Times, Bad Times to explain some of the implications of this welfare myth.
The last two years have been ones of momentous political change. In the UK, this included not least the election of a majority Conservative government led by David Cameron in May 2015, the result of the Brexit referendum, and the subsequent appointment of Theresa May as Prime Minister.
But some things remain the same. One is how 'welfare' is discussed, with the British political debate framed around the idea that our population can be divided into two groups – those who pay in, and those who pay out. This was a theme for former Chancellor George Osborne when in office, but also appears to shape the new Prime Minister's thinking.

|Subject: INFID statement on East Timor
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1999 08:36:32 -0400
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
INFID is a forum consisting of NGOs from various regions of Indonesia. This statement was issued on the occasion of the "Forum Indonesia XXI" which was held by INFID in Yogyakarta, April 8-10, 1999.
Violence and Terror Will Ruin a Peaceful Resolution to the East Timorese Problem
Yogyakarta, 10 April 1999
Since late 1998, a wave of violence, terror and intimidation against East Timorese civilians has risen ever higher. On April 7, 1999, in the city of Liquica, civilians were shot. The government stated that five were killed in the attack by the pro-integration militia that launched by Besi Merah Putih with support from ABRI and the police, while local social leaders stated that at least 25 individuals were killed. The exact number is difficult to determine before there is an investigation that is independent and complete. Apart from the question about the certainty over number of victims, we are certain in considering this incident as a massacre because the attack was carried out against unarmed civilians who were taking refuge in a church complex.
This brutal action is one out of no less than 53 cases of violence, terror and intimidation since late last year. Based on the data collected by humanitarian organization, the total number of victims up to April 9, 1999 is listed as: more than 40 fatalities, 22 wounded as a result of shooting or attack by other weapons, 77 victims of torture, and 8 victims of arbitrary arrest, and 3 disappearances, and 2 women raped. More than 10,000 people were forced to flee their homes and live in very difficult conditions. The security forces that are supposed to protect the civilians from attacks are, in almost all cases, took no action whatsoever. Not only that, the police forces and ABRI were involved in violent acts that resulted in fatalities.
This wave of violence has increased primarily after the Indonesian government through the Foreign Minister Ali Alatas announced that there was a possibility of a "second option" for the East Timorese people if they refused the offer of wide-ranging autonomy. As is well known, the government repeatedly stresses the worry that there will be a "civil war" if the autonomy offer is refused. This worry has been confirmed by the pro-integration militia who has made it explicit through the mass media that they will make East Timor a "bloodbath" if autonomy is rejected.
The violent actions against the civilians basically disrupt the efforts to search for a resolution to the East Timor problem that is peaceful; it carries all the achievements of negotiations back to point zero. In this context, the security forces share responsibility in allowing, even supporting, the occurrence of violent acts, and further, in helping create a "civil war" in East Timor.
Considering the various problems listed above, we:
1. Condemn the violent acts, intimidation, and terror against the residents of East Timor, all the while claimed to be a part of the effort to "uphold the unity and integrity of the nation", as well as condemn the use of the symbols of our nation, such as the Red and White, for activities that directly contradict the spirit of the nation itself.
2. Demand a thorough investigation by the UN Human Rights Commission of all cases of violence claimed to be "clash among residents" or "civil war."
3. Demand a withdrawal of ABRI troops and disbandment of all armed militia groups, and demand the presence of a UN authorized peacekeeping force that can take concrete steps to stop the violence, terror and intimidation against the civilians.
4. Demand an end to all violent acts against civilians both by pro-integration and pro-independence groups, and support all attempts toward a peaceful, just and thorough resolution to the East Timor problem
This is a collective statement from all of the undersigned.
Yogyakarta, 10 April 1999

3 Tips to Avoid E-Commerce Failure
What would you do if I told you that nearly half of the visitors to your website can't find what they're looking for and subsequently head to your competitor with their business? In a recent study we found exactly that: e-commerce sites surveyed had an alarming 45 percent task failure rate. It's a frightening number — one that would hopefully launch you into an immediate website redesign with a strong focus on usability so that you can start turning website visitors into customers.
Successful website redesigns, however, are often easier said than done. So here are three tips that you can use now to increase your website's usability and positively impact your bottom line:
1. Be redundant. E-commerce sites face a two-fold challenge: they have to clearly convey information about the company and its products, and they have to make a sale. It's a lot of information and functionality to pack into one site, with each customer looking for something different than the one before. Pleasing everyone all the time is a hard job; that's why redundancy is the key.
Just think of it this way: Why would you ever make it difficult on consumers to find what they're looking for? By placing links in the menu, sidebar, footer and body of a website, you'll ensure increased exposure — making it easy for consumers to find and purchase products on your site as opposed to a competitor's.
2. Go big with prioritized images. Let's use a scenario and say that you sell a lot of products online, and you want consumers to see all of them. As a result, you pack hundreds of product images into your one website, hoping to compel buyers to make more purchases. This, however, isn't helping sales. While images of products do help consumers, overusing images can clutter the pages of your site, making it more difficult for consumers to find what they're looking for. Cut back on clutter by prioritizing photos. Using bigger images can help with this.

The children stared at him from the photo frame on the shelf, from a time when he was a hero who knew everything, when he was the funniest man in the world who loved more than he thought possible.
The half smoked cigarette burned the astray having just added a few more cancerous cells to his lungs, but he didn't care- the future was the least of his worries. It was a future filled with the same day over and over again and all he could see was conference calls, emails, meetings and TV. No time spent drinking with friends down the pub talking about football and music, and instead the prospect of very rare outings with work colleagues which bored him to oblivion and only served to make him feel more lonely. Having a couple of drinks in between games of ten pin bowling was really not his cup of tea.
After an hour the screen started to blur and his head lightly smacked the desk as sleep overcame him and took him to a place where he could not hurt anymore.
"Marc, please be careful. This weather's awful." The rain splashed against the windscreen and fragmented into small magnifying splodges of water which made the task of seeing the road ahead and other vehicles even more difficult. Marc still felt safe at his customary eighty miles per hour in the outside lane.
"I'm fine Ruth, stop worrying. I have done this trip a hundred times before and never had a problem." The 'tut' at the end of his sentence highlighting his annoyance. Billy and Meg were asleep in the back of the car and had no idea weather like this was dangerous and that their father felt invincible at the wheel of a car.
"I'm just saying that's all. How would you feel if something bad happened?"
"Nothing's going to happen- you want to get home before midnight, don't you?" Ruth rolled her eyes.
"I just want to get home in one piece thanks." Silence took over for a few miles.
Marc was awoken by the sound of his phone beeping. It was 7am and he was still at the desk, but could feel a hard object pressing against his right ear, the mouse. The thirty seconds following sleep were his favourite part of the day. As his mind started to put together his memories for a brief moment he was not the person with so much anger and bitterness inside. He was just an ordinary guy with ordinary worries.
He decided to take a look at his emails, but lost interest fairly quickly and headed up to the bathroom. The November chill was especially apparent as he stepped into the shower and waited for the warm steamy water to bring his aching body back to life. He felt as though he had slept on a rock and could not dislodge the ache at the bottom of his spine. Despite the number of times he had decided never to fall asleep sitting at the desk again it still happened far too often.
The end of the shower brought back the November chill so he quickly walked to the bedroom where the radiators had started to dissipate condensation onto the windows and the morning sun peaked through the gap in the curtains. As usual his work suit, tie, socks, shoes and pants were all laid out in perfect order and ironed as perfectly as could be. His obsession with having every little thing 'done' had become more intense since it happened and sub-consciously he knew it was just a way to fill his time and to give him a sense of achievement no matter how minor.
The ten minute journey to work followed the same pattern as every other day. The queue at the traffic lights, the children walking across the zebra crossing guided by the chubby lollipop lady and the inevitable scramble to get into the single lane as it narrowed from two. These days he didn't care who went past him and how close they got to taking his bumper off. The fact he could drive at all was a miracle.
After he had made his morning coffee and exchanged pleasantries with people he barely knew he was sat at his desk taking his laptop out of his briefcase and logging on for the boredom ahead. A couple of people looked up and meekly said 'Good Morning', but to this day they still seemed ill at ease with Marc's presence.
He had always been the jovial life and soul of the party and his team was well known for working hard and having fun at the same time. He had tried desperately not to change since it happened, but he knew that it would never be the same again. The people around him had changed as much as he had and the gap between them was more than apparent. There was no pressure anymore from his manager and people under him did not question his ideas, they simply followed his instructions. No matter what he did or where he went the actions of those around him were a constant reminder of what he was now.
Every conference call and meeting followed the same pattern. People knew of his situation and stayed well away. Looks of pity greeted him wherever he went and some days it all became too much. He would leave early causing colleagues to presume he was still grieving, but in actual fact he just needed to get away from them, as far away as he could.
The times he had thought of leaving and moving away were too many to count. He knew that it was the only way to start his life again, but the thought of interviews, moving and dealing with so many people now scared him- the confidence was gone, replaced with an empty shell consumed with guilt every minute of every day.
I am expecting the full book to be available in 6-8 weeks. I started writing it 10 years ago and only came back to it recently, but I am hoping the wait has been worth it.

Help me welcome Susan Niz to the blog today, author of Kara, Lost, a story about a 16 year old who runs away from home. Susan was kind enough to stop by and answer some questions about herself and about her new novel.
Why do you write?
I believe that I was born to write. I notice details and I like to imagine people's stories, which I think has to do with a fascination with analyzing emotions, reactions, and relationships. Also, I've been through so many crazy things that I could keep writing forever. And because my life is stable now, allowing me the opportunity to write.
Have you always wanted to be a writer? If you couldn't write, what would be your 'dream job'?
I have always wanted to be a writer. When I was three or four, I would staple together any kind of scrap paper, scribble a title on the cover, and imagine that it was my own book that I had written. I became a teacher and taught for many years. I found many aspects of teaching to be very fulfilling; teachers can really make a difference for kids.
I would like to be a baker, a musician, an artist, a textile weaver, or design educational children's toys. I don't necessarily have the skills for most of those jobs. Ideally, I would get paid to do something where I could collaborate creatively with other people.
The story in Kara, Lost is not a light-hearted book, and Kara's journey sounds like a truly painful one. Why this story? Why did you need to share this story with the world?
I ran away from home when I was sixteen and was homeless for a few months. Kara's story is fiction, but I told my story through Kara's voice. I felt driven to get the story out of me, to try to make some sense of it, to share it with other people, and to put it out in the world so that it wasn't just living in a shameful place inside me. I feel liberated by the process, but it wasn't clean or easy. Writing my story as fiction allowed me to explore motivations, causes and effects, and emotions in a way that was a little less personal and not tied to ideas of blame.
What does it feel like, knowing that your book is now in print and soon to be read by people all over? Do you ever just stop and think, Wow! I'm a writer?!
Yes, I do sometimes think, "I actually did it." It's a process of finding my voice as a published author and enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comes along with sharing my book with others.
What is the hardest part of writing for you? The easiest? Most rewarding?
If someone wants to write a book, they should now that it takes a lot of hard work. The most difficult part was just the consistent effort and commitment of time and focus that it took. The easiest part was the drive to tell the story and the actual story ideas. The most rewarding part is knowing that I followed through with my dream. Now I can ask myself, "What is my next dream? What is my next story?"
If you could share anything with your readers, tell us any one thing, what would it be?
Know your worth and don't let others keep you down. Be strong. Keep going and find a positive path in life.
Thank you so much for stopping by Susan! It's great to hear more about the motivation behind your book!

More than 20 dilapidated homes in rural communities in Clark County are expected to be demolished this year as part of a $1.3 million project stemming from the largest consumer finance protection settlement in U.S. history.
The Clark County Community Development Department has selected 22 structures to be razed in Bethel, German, Mad River, Madison, Pike, Pleasant and Springfield townships. Homes in New Carlisle and the villages of Donnelsville, North Hampton and South Charleston will also be demolished.
Clark County and Springfield officials are poised to split a $943,000 share of the state settlement. As part of a Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Program agreement, the city will use 53 percent of the money to demolish 250 homes, and the county will receive 47 percent of the funds.
Clark County Development Director Tom Hale said the county could level as many as 25 homes and hand over any remaining money to the city by the end of June.
"We are eliminating some structures that have been abandoned, foreclosed and that have certainly outlived their useful life. It should help out some of these neighborhoods," Hale said.
The county can use about $235,000 toward the demolition and officials will ask New Carlisle as well as the townships and villages to contribute the remaining share about $208,000 in matching funds toward the project.
Green Twp. Trustee Allen Armstrong said the township could pay about $10,000 in matching funds to demolish three homes there.
"It's a very good project. It's an opportunity for a small township like us, with limited resources, to be able to take care of properties that have been a problem for a while," Armstrong said. "(Without this grant), there's no way would be able to do all three."
The homes are in close proximity to each other along Quwood and Springfield Xenia roads. Two of the homes have been covered by trees and weeds and are barely visible.
Hale said many of the eyesores in the county that will be demolished are the result of either foreclosures or residents who have walked away from their properties.
He said some of the properties have a roof or other portions of the home that has collapsed or is missing.
Armstrong said homeowners who live near these abandoned homes will be pleased when the eyesores are razed.
"It lowers property values for the people around it. I feel bad for them because it's something beyond their control," Armstrong said.

After another eventful Easter weekend of football we are treated to a marathon round with games spread from Friday until Tuesday, and it's a tough one for tipsters!
Last week's tips, 7/8 running tip total, 37/56
Raiders versus Manly
The Raiders continued their hot run of form picking up their third consecutive win on the trot against the Warriors in Round 7, while Manly picked up their second loss is as many weeks – another slow start costing the Northern Beaches club.
BJ Leilua continues to push his claims for a Kangaroos spot and his combination with Jordan Rapana remains the best in the NRL. Travelling to Canberra is always a tough task and unfortunately for Manly they meet a Raiders side on a roll.
Tip: Raiders 13+
Souths versus Broncos
Souths suffered from 'second half syndrome' against the Bulldogs, failing to register a point in the second stanza. The Broncos did the exact opposite collecting 14 second half points to seal an unlikely late victory over the Titans.
The big news in this match is the late withdrawal of South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds. This forces a reshuffle with John Sutton shifting into the halves. The most concerning thing for Souths outside of Reynolds absence is the relatively weak sides they've defeated thus far.
With a 3-4 record they have only managed victories over cellar dwellers the Knights, a victory over Manly before they had hit their straps and a one point over a Penrith side missing six key players.
All of that spells trouble for South Sydney who take on a Broncos side that looks to be clicking into gear.
Tip: Broncos 13+
Eels versus Panthers
Despite getting a win against the Tigers in Round 7, the Eels were anything but impressive. They still lack structure and spark and there were plenty of defensive frailties. The Panthers similarly didn't look like scoring a try against Cronulla and the pressure is now mounting on coach Anthony Griffin.
On paper the Panthers have named a formidable side and realistically this has become a do or die clash for the pre-season premiership favourites. Couple that with Parramatta's poor record at ANZ Stadium and the recipe is ripe for Penrith to get back on track.
Tip: Panthers 1-12
Cowboys versus Knights
Despite a stellar performance from the world;s biggest makeshift halfback in the form of John Assiata the Cowboys fell short of victory against the Dragons. Similarly, the Knights were once again competitive last round but lacked the firepower to secure a victory over the Roosters.
The Knights are presently in the midst of a five-game losing streak and face the daunting prospect of the NRL's toughest road trip to Townsville. They have also made the shock decision to drop captain and chief playmaker Trent Hodkinson.
All the signs point to a Cowboys victory but this is definitely a danger match for the men from the north. They are down on troops and down on form and if they turn up expecting an easy win they will be in for a rude shock.
Tip: Cowboys 13+
Sharks versus Titans
On form, Cronulla is one of the hottest team in the competition at the moment after securing their fourth consecutive victory against the Panthers. The most impressive aspect of the performance wasn't the 28 points they piled on, it was the miserly defensive display that prevented a talented Panthers outfit from securing a single try.
The Titans on the other hand were incredibly unlucky after seemingly having secured victory over the Broncos. Their performance overall though was a great improvement on that of the past month and it's no coincidence the improvement coincided with getting some key troops back from injury.
The Titans welcome back even more of their personnel for this week's match, with a potential return for Jarryd Hayne on the cards. However, all the Hayne Planes in the world won't be able to stop the Sharks in Cronulla!
Tip: Sharks 13+
Wests Tigers versus Bulldogs
Tigers fans have a right to feel ripped off after bearing the brunt of some disgraceful refereeing in the final 20 minutes against the Eels. That said, a quality side still would have been able to close out the game.
The Bulldogs were able to pick up their third victory on the trot and now find themselves in the top eight. But, their victories have been far from impressive and the last two have come against the Knights and Souths, hardly victories to ride home about.
The Tigers have a lot to overcome in this match to earn a victory. Firstly, there's the mental component of being in a side captained by a pathetic leader in the form of Aaron Woods – who has supposedly claimed he was tired of being the only quality forward within his squad.
There's also the mental component of these players playing alongside Moses and Tedesco in addition to Woods, three key players who apparently want out of Concord and in a haste.
Secondly, there's the most glaring on-field issue – the right side edge defence. Until Ivan Cleary stops the rot on that flank the Tigers won't win a game.
Despite their massive forward pack, it would be a mistake for the Dogs to focus too much on the middle third of the field. The Tigers have shown reasonable resolve in the centre of the park in 2017 and the Dogs must exploit the joint ventures notable weakness.
Tip: Dogs 1-12
Roosters versus Dragons
Without a doubt this is the hardest match to tip of the round.
The Roosters jumped back in the winner's circle in Round 7 with a victory over the Knights whereas the Dragons kept the good times rolling with their fifth consecutive victory coming over the Cowboys in Wollongong.
Despite the Roosters picking up a victory last week the jury is still out on the Bondi club. That relates to the level of opposition they have defeated so far.
To date the Roosters have recorded wins against the Titans (1-6, 15th), a narrow victory over the Bulldogs (who at the time were playing abysmal football), the Panthers (2-5), Souths (who have only accounted for Manly who were in terrible form at the time, the Knights and a Panthers outfit missing six top line first graders) – it doesn't exactly make for convincing reading.
In fact the only side the Roosters have played who were sitting in the top eight at the time of the clash were the Broncos and they were soundly beaten.
The Dragons on the other hand put a stop to Manly's hot form in round 6 and accounted for last year's premiers the in round 3 in Cronulla. In between they have defeated all comers and have proven over the opening seven rounds that they should be regarded as a genuine contender in 2017.
Further helping their claims for victory in this match is the return of talismanic fullback Josh Dugan.
Expect the Dragons massive pack to have just a bit too much firepower for the Roosters in another close and classic Anzac Day encounter.
Tip: Dragons 1-12
Storm versus Warriors
To close out round 8, it's another potential blockbuster in what has now become a traditional Anzac Day clash between the Storm and the Warriors.
The Storm continue to be the benchmark despite playing a tad below their usual lofty standards. But, the key thing for Melbourne is that they keep finding a way to win.
For the Warriors, travelling remains an issue despite the return of Kieran Foran. A trip to Canberra was always going to be tough but Stephen Kearney will be looking to rectify this ongoing problem moving forward.
It doesn't get any easier for the Aucklanders though as they take a trip to the graveyard – AAMI Park.
This should be a high quality match and the score just might match it.
Storm: 1-12

Wander among its Matera Sassi, ancient houses dug out of tufa, let in the 50s by its inhabitants to be recovered and restored. Discover Gravina, or the valley that is home to the country, already inhabited in the late Palaeolithic. In this maze of streets and alleys, recalling to mind the Christian nativity scenes, breathe the air of an area where time seems to stand still and that has inspired filmmakers and writers, Mel Gibson as he chose Matera as the setting for his film "Christ's passion". Combining the charm of the barren rock to the sophistication and elegance of the interior decorations, the Matera Rock Churches are an essential step for anyone visiting the city Lucan, between these: the imposing Church of San Pietro Barisano, the Church of Saint Lucia of the Malve, The cave complex of St. Anthony Convicinio, the churches of Santa Maria de Idris and St. John. "I Sassi di Matera sono registrati nella Lista dei Patrimoni dell'Umanità dell'UNESCO dal 1993." Rappresentano uno straordinario ecosistema urbano tanto da essere il primo sito iscritto nell'Italia meridionale.

I am going to have to start driving around on trash night!This turned out wonderful.ReplyDelete
Great idea to make it a shelf with basket, Christina! It looks like a great little piece that would fit in anywhere.ReplyDelete
Love it!! Don't you just love freebies..ReplyDelete
Great Makeover! Free things are wonderful:)ReplyDelete
I love that! We stuck an old chest into a hole that we had a broken floor type ice maker in. We put a basket at the top and use the drawers for paper and plastic. Looks cute and works great! Love your ideas and your signs.ReplyDelete
You are so good! That's all I've got to say - you are just good girl!ReplyDelete
Great idea. I have a night stand that had 2 drawers - one drawer was missing so like you we made it into a shelf. I never thought about putting a basket in the space - I think I'll try that!ReplyDelete

Top 1% in PA captured 89.2 percent of income growth since 2009
Download all county and metropolitan tables for Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, PA — While the incomes of the bottom 99 percent of families grew slightly (0.2 percent) the incomes of the top 1 percent of Pennsylvania families grew by 8 percent from 2009 to 2013, according to a new report on Income inequality in the U.S. by state, metropolitan area and county, published by the Economic Policy Institute for the Economic Analysis Research Network (EARN).
The paper, by Estelle Sommeiller, Mark Price and Ellis Wazeter, shows that the top 1 percent of income earners captured the majority of income growth since the Great Recession in 24 states – with the top 1 percent taking home all income growth in 15 states.
"Rising inequality is one of the most pressing challenges we face in the Commonwealth," said Price, a labor economist at the Keystone Research Center. "It's a persistent problem here and throughout the country – in big cities and small towns, in all 50 states. In the face of this national problem, we need local, state national policy solutions to jumpstart wage growth for the vast majority of Americans."
For every county and state, as well as in 916 metropolitan areas , Sommeiller, Price and Wazeter provide the average incomes of the top 1 percent, the income required to be in the top 1 percent, and the gap between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99 percent.
Key findings for Pennsylvania include:
- During the six economic expansions between 1949 and 1980, the bottom 99 percent of families in Pennsylvania captured 93% of income growth. During the four economic expansions since 1980, the bottom 99 percent have captured a smaller and smaller share of income growth: From 1982 to 1990 the bottom 99 percent captured 65 percent of income growth. From 1991 to 2000 the bottom 99 percent captured 64% of income growth. From 2001 to 2007 the bottom 99% captured 51 percent of income growth. So far in the current economic expansion the bottom 99% of families have captured just 11% of income growth in Pennsylvania.
- The top 1 percent earned 20 times more than the bottom 99 percent in Pennsylvania, making Pennsylvania the 20th most unequal state in the country.
- The average income of the top 1 percent of Pennsylvanians in 2013 was $926,051 while the bottom 99 percent on average earned $45,781.
- To be in the top 1 percent in Pennsylvania, one would have to earn $360,343.
- The most unequal county in Pennsylvania in 2013 was Montgomery, where the top 1% earned 27 times more than the bottom 99 percent in the county. Relative to the nation, Montgomery is the 123rd most unequal county (out of 3064 counties in the United States).
- The average income of the top 1 percent in Montgomery County in 2013 was $2,039,026, while the average income of the bottom 99 percent was $74,491.
- The most unequal metropolitan area in Pennsylvania in 2013 was Warren (a county, and also a small metro area, east of Erie County) where the top 1 percent earned 25 times ($799,067) more than the bottom 99% ($32,664). Relative to the nation Warren is the 66th most unequal metropolitan area in the country.
- The average income of the top 1 percent in the Warren in 2013 was $799,067 while the bottom 99% earned $32,664.

Eating well on a zero budget
I have been living in Italy for three years now. Twice a year I have two month were I have zero income. I have to reduce my budget down to almost zero. My first year here in Italy I struggled very hard with my financial limitations. The experience was new and I was unprepared. Fortunately my culinary training paid off. Creativity and technique were my saving grace.
Now in my third year I have learned how to eat well while staying within my very limited budget. Utilizing everything to its maximum potential is essential. I always have dry beans, different types of rice and dried herbs on hand. I stock up on really good wines during the months when my salary is normal. During my financially lean months I am the most experimental in the kitchen. Last year I learned to expand my baking skills and I am no baker.
This year I am learning to celebrate fresh seasonal foods at the peak of flavor. People often think to eat well you have to spend large amounts of money but having working in a professional kitchen I know better. You have to be bold and efficient in how you use the ingredients that are available within your budget. There are times when you have t plan long term strategy for the times when everything is not readily available. Food security is a real issue that affects millions of people globally. Black bean soup and black bean burger are nutrient dense and economically friendly. Sea food such as shell fish can serve double duty as the shells often make for a great stock that can be used to flavor many other dishes. Fruits can be dessert friendly. Popcorn can be made and flavored is so many creative ways.
Gastronomy is not about how much you spend but how well you can celebrate the food.
Keep exploring my fellow Gastronomers.

New Music used to be the Buckley's cough medicine of the classical world – it tasted awful, but it was good for you. There was a hint of the church about it – a celebration of obscure rites for the faithful, desperately clinging to their belief in the importance of the new, scorned and belittled, huddling in church basements and small halls. I'm exaggerating of course, but the whiff of the elect, of the self-chosen elite, came wafting out of many new-music venues.
That was then. Now, I compile my list of the most interesting concerts of the year.
Adrianne Pieczonka searing her way through George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children last fall. Staggering. Presented by Soundstreams Canada, a 33-year-old new-music organization.
Just last month, contemporary composer James MacMillan conducting an overwhelming performance of his Seven Last Words from the Cross. Shattering. Soundstreams again.
Electric Messiah, a fascinating cross-cultural, multimedia take on Handel's classic, presented at the Drake Hotel in December. Part of Soundstreams' Ear Candy series.
The opera Julie, co-presented by Canadian Stage and Soundstreams in November.
Squeezebox, a wonderfully theatrical evening featuring the accordion, bandoneon and Korean saenghwang. Yes, Soundstreams, again.
And, to top it off, maybe the most exciting concert of the year – Soundstreams presenting avant-garde composer Steve Reich in Toronto this week for an 80th birthday celebration featuring some of Reich's longest-serving collaborators – former members of the Nexus percussion ensemble. A concert not booked into a tiny room somewhere, but in one of Toronto's largest concert venues, the 2,700-seat Massey Hall.
"A lot of people told me what I fool I was," Lawrence Cherney, Soundstreams Canada artistic director, tells me about deciding to book Reich into Massey. "But, we'll see. We think we'll do okay." Indeed, they probably will.
Something is happening here. Five years ago, I would have characterized Soundstreams as a group doing important work on the margins. Today they're presenting the best shows in town. At a time when music organizations everywhere are struggling with the new realities of concert and musical life, Soundstreams Canada, at 33, is getting everything right – breaking down barriers, reaching across generational, cultural and musical boundaries, sacrificing none of its artistic integrity. It's a minor miracle.
In addition to being its artistic director, Cherney is Soundstreams' founder. He's flattered by my thesis, but struggles to find anything dramatic to help me understand what he's doing today that's different from what he's done for the past three decades.
"By definition, new music is unfamiliar. So my obsession has always been, 'What is it that attracts people to come to something they don't know?'" he says. "I started this organization back in 1982 when I realized that nothing was happening in Canada to celebrate Igor Stravinsky's 100th birthday. And if Stravinsky was having trouble getting his due, what about Canadian composers? So, in a way, many things have changed since then – but nothing has changed."
Soundstreams has changed the manner in which it presents its concerts, creating more of a thematic glue to tie things together. The Squeezebox show used theatrical elements to keep its audience entertained as the musical focus moved from Murray Schafer's circus to Argentinian tango to the music of Korea.
"We're trying to get beyond the conventions of certain Western traditions of performance," Cherney says. "I just started in the last few years to pay a lot of attention to theatre and dance. What do other disciplines do to create the sense of one big work?"
And it wasn't just Western traditions that Cherney investigated. With an Ontario Arts Council grant, he went around the world investigating performance practices: "I travelled to a lot of places. I looked at shamanism in Korea, at a lot of different places in the world where I just thought I might find something interesting. I realized there are so many ways of creating connections between pieces we haven't thought of. The music itself is not necessarily the main thing – it's the way we're putting them together that's different."
But there's more to Soundstreams' success than merely clever programming. The MacMillan and Pieczonka concerts were both conventionally organized. Nothing especially daring will happen at the Reich concert, except the music itself. And maybe that's the real point – that after four decades of ghettoization, the increasingly tolerant, curious, democratized world that YouTube, Spotify and iTunes have created has rendered all the old categories of musical discourse and categorization irrelevant. The beauty and excitement of "new" music can now be appreciated cleanly and transparently, without confusing and off-putting labels.
Kyle Brenders is the artistic associate at Soundstreams, five years into his position. The Ear Candy series is his baby. Brenders represents a different demographic, musical sensibility and audience than Cherney. A working musician himself, Brenders blends a background in both classical music and improvisatory jazz to bring to his Soundstreams work.
"I have different perceptions of how things are happening, how things are changing," Brenders says. "I'm here to spur Lawrence on, to say, 'Hey, look at this, and what about this, and what do you think of this?' He's always open to new ideas about what he's doing, and I've got new ideas – with a different artistic voice coming from a very different artistic place."
Part of what Brenders provides Cherney are ideas about performance practice, repertoire and the feel of what a concert can be.
"The idea of scale is important to what we're thinking about," Brenders says. "The Ear Candy is scaled down and the Massey concert is scaled up. There's something about the purity of being in a place like Koerner Hall with all those other people that's very satisfying. But I also love being within 20 feet of the performers in a space. You can feel the motion, the breathing – being confronted by a singer as they're moving past you. There's something remarkably intimate about that."
Soundstreams is looking to the future to consolidate its successes. The Ear Candy series is expanding to three concerts next year. The 2016-17 season will include five mainstage concerts, including Magic Flutes, a flute concert similar to the Squeezebox concert – multicultural and multidimensional. Coming projects include an opera based on the last seven days of Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte, murdered during the 1970 October crisis, and a staging of one of Claude Vivier's early works, Musik für das Ende.
And as Cherney approaches his 35th season at Soundstreams, he's not just the right person in the right place at the right time. He is the beneficiary, it seems, of a significant change in the way we approach musical performance in the 21st century – where the complex, multiconnected world in which we have been living in recent decades is finally having an impact on what we listen to, and how. Cherney and Soundstreams, through dedication, instinct and foresight, have been ready for this world for some time.

Maple Ridge has updated its list of historic places, adding 51 sites with stories of the city's past.
The update process of the Heritage Resources of Maple Ridge was a two-year project that sought public input, resulting in a current total of 122 sites.
Included now is the old Spencer Milk Farm house along Jim Robson Way and on the Albion fairgrounds, built in about 1922. The building was designed to be well ventilated in order to keep the milk cool before it made it way to Spencer farms in the Lower Mainland.
The Mussallem Residence at 22548 Royal Cres. is also on the heritage inventory. It sits on property recently bought by B.C. Housing for construction of 55 modular homes for residents of the Anita Place Tent City.
Former MLA George Mussallem, son of Solomon Mussallem, a three-term mayor of Maple Ridge and founder of Mussellem Motors, built the house in 1937.
The City of Maple Ridge has asked that B.C. Housing pay for all of the costs to move the old house, possibly to the Maple Ridge Cemetery, in order to preserve it.
Another building new to the list is the old Turnock-Morse residence at the foot of 223rd Street, just across from Anita Place Tent City.
That is being preserved under a heritage renovation agreement with the City of Maple Ridge, which will see new condos built on the site, along with the renovated old home.
The updated Heritage Resources of Maple Ridge includes more heritage sites consisting of old farms, roads and parks, in addition to old buildings.
The list is merely an inventory of old places within the city and doesn't convey any legal protection of the locations from redevelopment.
The city also has a Maple Ridge Community Heritage Register, a smaller list of 28 more significant historic locations.
None of those are protected either, but being on the list does allow the city to delay a demolition permit for 60 days in an attempt to work out an arrangement to preserve the property.

It sure feels good when a family member or a stranger is kind to you. What about showing a little kindness to others? February 17th is "Random Acts of Kindness Day", but being kind is something that we should practice every day, all the time. A random act of kindness will inspire people to practice kindness and to pass it on to others. The acts do not need to be for the same person, and the person doesn't even have to be aware of them. Some ideas on how to be kind to others can be: helping a friend with a chore, making someone smile, complain less, clean after yourself, say hello to your neighbors, etc.

Are Benefit products hypo-allergenic?
Benefit does not test for or claim that our products are hypo-allergenic (least likely to cause an allergic reaction) or non-comedogenic (does not cause pimples & blackheads). If you have a specific allergy, please review the ingredients which are listed on the product page and contact your general practitioner to determine if a product is suitable for your skin.
Are Benefit products gluten-free?
Adverse reactions to gluten have never been verified after using cosmetic products, because gluten is not absorbed through the skin. To reassure our customers on the gluten issue, Benefit Cosmetics has enacted the following policies:
- We no longer formulate with gluten as a cosmetic ingredient
- We have high quality standards for ingredients derived from grain sources
Despite these precautions, trace levels of gluten could be present from some raw materials in all cosmetic products.
For people suffering from intolerance to gluten who choose to avoid the use of all products derived from grain sources, we recommend avoiding the following ingredients: Triticum vulgare (wheat), Avena sative, Secale cereal and Hordeum distichon.
Given our policies and the very low level of gluten residue exposure, we ensure that our cosmetic products are safe under normal and reasonable use.
Does Benefit test on animals?
Benefit does not test our products on animals.
Since 1989, the Perfumes & Cosmetics companies of LVMH group (including Benefit Cosmetics) have not performed any tests on animals for our products - this was implemented long before the 2013 official ban set by the European Union.
We are deeply committed to the elimination of animal testing. We're playing a leading role in developing alternative methods through our support of the "Fund for Alternatives to Animal Testing" in the United States. We also actively participate in validation studies of new alternative tests in the framework of the European cosmetics association, Cosmetics Europe. We are one of only a few companies to have invested in creating our own internal department to test raw materials and ingredients to further ensure the quality of our products and the satisfaction of our customers, which is our top priority.
As a result, all Benefit products undergo very strict tolerance tests using non-animal methods during the development of each product to ensure quality and safety prior to market.
Some customers expressed concern regarding the situation in China. Our products are made in Europe and for imported cosmetics, the Chinese health authorities order some test on animals: they require companies to make their products available to be tested in state-certified laboratories for registration purposes only, as it is currently their only recognized method to demonstrate product safety.
We are hopeful that alternative testing methods will be adopted worldwide and we will see an end to animal testing.

Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
Elaborating on the concept of context awareness, this book presents up-to-date research and novel framework designs for context-aware mobile sensing. Generic and Energy-Efficient Context-Aware Mobile Sensing proposes novel context-inferring algorithms and generic framework designs that can help readers enhance existing tradeoffs in mobile sensing, especially between accuracy and power consumption.
The book presents solutions that emphasize must-have system characteristics such as energy efficiency, accuracy, robustness, adaptability, time-invariance, and optimal sensor sensing. Numerous application examples guide readers from fundamental concepts to the implementation of context-aware-related algorithms and frameworks.
Covering theory and practical strategies for context awareness in mobile sensing, the book will help readers develop the modeling and analysis skills required to build futuristic context-aware framework designs for resource-constrained platforms.
- Includes best practices for designing and implementing practical context-aware frameworks in ubiquitous/mobile sensing
- Proposes a lightweight online classification method to detect user-centric postural actions
- Examines mobile device-based battery modeling under the scope of battery nonlinearities with respect to variant loads
- Unveils a novel discrete time inhomogeneous hidden semi-Markov model (DT-IHS-MM)-based generic framework to achieve a better realization of HAR-based mobile context awareness
Supplying theory and equation derivations for all the concepts discussed, the book includes design tips for the implementation of smartphone programming as well as pointers on how to make the best use of MATLAB® for the presentation of performance analysis. Coverage includes lightweight, online, and unsupervised pattern recognition methods; adaptive, time-variant, and optimal sensory sampling strategies; and energy-efficient, robust, and inhomogeneous context-aware framework designs.
Researchers will learn the latest modeling and analysis research on mobile sensing. Students will gain access to accessible reference material on mobile sensing theory and practice. Engineers will gain authoritative insights into cutting-edge system designs.
