Vaughan Neighbourhoods – Woodbridge
Woodbridge (in Vaughan, ON) is a well-developed neighbourhood, with the central area (Woodbridge Ave, just west of Islington Avenue) featuring Market Lane, where you will find a variety of "small town feel" shops, restaurants, Woodbridge Library, and other businesses. I personally love the bakery, CC's Creations - And I recently enjoyed a lovely Italian dinner at Dimmi Restaurant with my neighbours - Just steps away, you can visit Nino D'Aaversa for awesome wood-oven pizza, or go to the Woodbridge Fairgrounds for many events including Woodbridge Fair in the fall & Ribfest in the summer.
Nature lovers will appreciate Boyd Conservation Area and Kortright Centre, which features educational programs attended by local students. Thrill seekers can visit Canada's Wonderland in just 10-15mins. Shopaholics can spend all day at Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre enjoying a huge variety of stores & "outlet mall" shopping choices.
Both East & West Woodbridge provide a nice selection of detached homes, as well as townhomes and low-rise condos in some newer developments over the past 5 years. Most of the detached homes in Woodbridge are on quiet streets & have good sized lots, between 2,000-3,000 sf interior space, and usually between 15-30 years old. There are very limited options of detached new-builds in the Woodbridge core area, and a few charming historical homes as well. I have noticed a trend in the past few years of >20 year old homes being renovated with modern finishes – People are realizing that the location & lot-size are prime attractive features, making older homes a great buy in comparison to new builds in Woodbridge. New developments nearby are usually north of Woodbridge (ex: Kleinburg), are modern & beautiful, but with smaller lots &/or much higher prices per s.f.
Convenient access to great schools & amenities have a huge impact on buyers looking to raise their families in an established, ethnically diverse neighborhood. I currently live in the area called "West Woodbridge" (just north of Highway 7, west of Islington Ave). My kids go to Woodbridge Public School (elementary) & Woodbridge College (high-school), and we are very pleased with the schools & our lifestyle here! I believe families re-locating from Toronto will appreciate more affordable housing costs, as well as a lifestyle that supports organized sports, recreation, shopping, nature & arts.
One thing I must mention for people considering re-locating from Toronto is that public transportation options are somewhat limited Woodbridge "walk score" is 71/100 – with the biggest weakness being public transportation (score is 53/100). Note for example: We looked into options for my older son to get to school: The drive is under 10 minutes, walking is about 35 minutes, but the bus ride is 45 minutes long, with 1 transfer.
Having an automobile is highly recommended when living in Woodbridge. With a vehicle, commuting around the GTA is easy, given quick access to major highways: 400, 427, 407, 27, and 7. We can get to Toronto, Mississauga, or Markham in about 30 minutes (without traffic), and drive to central Brampton, Etobicoke or Richmond Hill in under 20 minutes.
Feel free to contact me with any questions about Woodbridge, or any other area of interest. I would be happy to help provide insight or do some research for you!

A federal judge refused on Thursday to throw out a lawsuit accusing General Electric Co and its chief executive of misleading investors about the conglomerate's financial health and exposure to risky debt during the 2008 financial crisis.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell in Manhattan keeps alive litigation seeking to hold the company responsible for investor losses during a six-month period when its stock price fell to about $10 from about $26, causing its market value to tumble by more than $150 billion.
Investors claimed that GE withheld information regarding its health and the health of its GE Capital finance arm, including exposures to subprime and other low-quality loans. They also said GE misleadingly touted itself as being safer than rivals, despite the effects of the financial crisis.
Holwell also let stand some claims accusing bank underwriters of omitting statements from offering documents for a $12.2 billion GE stock offering in October 2008. He dismissed several other claims, and did not rule on the case's merits.
A GE spokesman and lawyers for the investors did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Antonio Yanez, a lawyer for the banks, declined to comment.
Holwell said investors led by the State Universities Retirement System of Illinois adequately alleged that GE made material misrepresentations during the crisis about its access to commercial paper and ability to maintain its dividend.
He also let the investors pursue claims alleging that company officers, including Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt and Chief Financial Officer Keith Sherin, misled them and had sufficient intent, known as "scienter," to mislead.
"Immelt's categorical statements that investors could 'count on' a dividend and that GE was having 'no difficulties' issuing commercial paper are not the sort of cautious statements one would expect of a CEO attempting to come to grips with the effects of the economic crisis on his company," Holwell wrote in a 53-page decision.
"A CEO is allowed to convince the public to invest in his company, but not at the expense of providing it with accurate information about the company's financial health," Holwell continued. "Taking the factual allegations in the (complaint) as true, the inference that Immelt acted with scienter is at least as compelling as the inference that he did not."
Among the banks that were sued were Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Morgan Stanley, court records show.
The lawsuit covered investors who owned GE stock from Sept. 25, 2008 to March 19, 2009.
During that period the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company cut its dividend and lost its "triple-A" credit rating. It also received a $3 billion infusion from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
GE's many products include jet engines, turbines and light bulbs. It also owns part of NBC Universal, in which Comcast Corp. holds a majority stake.
The case is In re: General Electric Co. Securities Litigation, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 09-01951.

Stocks slid on Wall Street Thursday, a day after the Dow Jones industrial average logged its biggest one-day drop of the year, as investors fretted about the potential for gridlock in Washington.
The Dow was down 45 points to 12,888 as of 12:40 p.m. Eastern. The Standard and Poor's 500 index fell six points to 1,388 and the Nasdaq composite slipped 17 to 2,919.
Stocks slid on Wall Street Thursday, a day after the Dow Jones industrial average logged its biggest one-day drop of the year, as investors fretted about the potential for gridlock in Washington.
The Dow was down 45 points to 12,888 as of 12:40 p.m. Eastern. The Standard and Poor's 500 index fell six points to 1,388 and the Nasdaq composite slipped 17 to 2,919.
The Dow plunged 313 points Wednesday, its fifth worst one-day drop following a U.S. presidential election. The biggest, in 2008, came in the midst of the financial crisis on the day after President Barack Obama won his first term.
The sell-off came the day after Obama was elected for a second four-year term as investors turned their focus back to Europe's problems and the so-called fiscal cliff, a package of tax increases and government spending cuts in the U.S. that will occur unless Congress acts by Jan. 1. Investors see it as a serious threat to the economic recovery.
"The thinking before the election was that it would remove some of the uncertainty, but it seems to have done the opposite," said Tyler Vernon, chief investment officer at Biltmore Capital Advisors in Princeton, N.J.
Stocks are still up on the year, but well below the peak they reached in September. That was when the Federal Reserve announced a third round of its bond-buying program, which is intended to hold down borrowing costs and encourage lending.
The S&P 500 is 5 percent below its high close of the year, 1,465, which it reached on Sept. 14. That was its highest level in nearly five years. It's still up 10 percent for the year.
Investors may be tempted to sell appreciated stock before a possible increase in the capital gains tax at the end of the year, Vernon said. Tax cuts enacted by President George W. Bush expire at the end of this year and the U.S. government wants to cut a $1 trillion budget deficit.
Investors were encouraged by two reports on the U.S. economy that came out before the market opened. The Dow climbed as much as 48 points in the morning but started to sink after the first hour of trading.
The Labor Department reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell 8,000 last week to 355,000, a possible sign that the job market is healing. Officials cautioned that the figures were distorted by Superstorm Sandy.
A separate report showed that the U.S. trade deficit narrowed to its lowest level in almost two years as exports rose to a record high.
There was also encouraging news from Europe, where leaders shocked markets a day earlier with a dire forecast for economic growth next year.
European Central Bank head Mario Draghi said financial market confidence "has visibly improved" as the 17-country group that uses the euro struggles with its debt crisis. But he said the outlook for the economy remains "weak." Draghi spoke after the bank's governing council left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.75 percent.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, on Wednesday slashed its outlook for growth for this year and 2013. The report helped set off a sharp decline in stocks in the U.S and Europe.
Among stocks making big moves:
— Energy drink maker Monster Beverage sank $2.41 to $42.56 after the company said its revenue growth slowed in the third quarter.
— Dean Foods rose 88 cents to $16.96 after the company reported a third quarter profit of $36 million for the third quarter, compared with a $1.5 billion loss in the same period a year earlier.
— Burger chain Wendy's rose 25 cents to $4.51 after the company said that a key sales figure rose. Revenue at restaurants open at least 15 months rose 2.7 percent, the sixth straight quarter of growth.
— CBS rose 59 cents to $34.59 after the company said that earnings rose 16 percent as falling ad revenue was offset by higher fees from pay TV distributors.

William Moulton Marston
Kinky Daddy of Wonder Woman
by Kohinoor Setora
The next one hundred years will see the beginning of an American matriarchy — a nation of Amazons in the psychological rather than physical sense. Women have twice the emotional development, the ability for love than man has… as they develop as much ability for worldly success as they already have for love, they will clearly come to rule business and the nation. — William Moulton Marston1

Dawn of the Gods
Every culture has had its superheroes. In early times, when strength and courage meant the difference between life and death, the strongest and bravest were held in the highest esteem. It's only natural, therefore, that they would encourage the telling of stories to extol their prowess and record their exploits. The most exciting and creative of these stories were passed down from generation to generation, and carried to other cultures through migration. With each retelling, these stories became more fantastical. From these original tales of superheroes came the first stories of the gods.

The ABC Television Network will celebrate the joy of the holidays with the classic animated Christmas-themed PEANUTS special, "A Charlie Brown Christmas," created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, airing TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT; OAD on ABC: 12/6/01). In the digitally-remastered 1965 special, Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism that he sees everywhere during the Christmas season. Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant, and Charlie Brown accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, Charlie Brown needs Linus' help to learn what the real meaning of Christmas is.
Starring an unlikely round-headed hero and a unique cast of young characters wiser and wittier than their years, Charles Schulz's PEANUTS is not just the best-known, most-loved comic strip ever created, but a true global phenomenon. The PEANUTS characters are featured in 2200 newspapers, in classic television specials and on re-mastered DVDs, on stage, in hundreds of books and across the Internet. They have inspired every kind of consumer product from T-shirts to toothbrushes. And while translated into 25 languages, PEANUTS has introduced a vocabulary all its own: "Good grief!," "security blanket," "Happiness is...," "You blockhead!" As PEANUTS approaches its 60th anniversary in 2010, "Good ol' Charlie Brown" and his inseparable gang remain as fresh and vital as ever.
Over the past four decades, the library of PEANUTS animation has received five Emmy and two Peabody Awards. It has also received one Academy Award nomination, three Grammy nominations and fifteen additional Emmy nominations.
The cast of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" includes Peter Robbins ("Charlie Brown"), Christopher Shea as ("Linus"), Tracy Stratford ("Lucy"), Chris Doran ("Schroeder") and Sally Dryer ("Violet").
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" was executive-produced by Lee Mendelson and created and written by Charles M. Schulz. Bill Melendez is the producer and director, and Vince Guaraldi is the music composer.
This program carries a TV-G parental guideline.

The newly sworn public advocate and comptroller wasted no time in using their new posts to send the Bloomberg administration a message that they intend to take on City Hall whenever necessary. In fact, they made that loud and clear during their inaugural speeches – with Mayor Michael Bloomberg sitting right there!
Of course, there was no way that Pol Position was going to get an invitation to attend the highly exclusive inaugural event for Bloomberg, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, and Comptroller John Liu at City Hall, but we made sure to chum up with somebody who did get invited to the event (suck-up!) so that we made sure to get a firsthand, behind-the-scenes account of all the goings-on.
According to our source, de Blasio was the more critical of the two, pointing the finger at the Bloomberg administration for failing to create enough affordable housing for the city and freezing parents out of their children's education under mayoral control of the school.
When asked about de Blasio's rhetoric a few days later, the mayor would only say that he thought Bill "gave a great speech." Judicious.
But de Blasio wasn't done yet, and on Monday he announced plans to turn the oft-sleepy public advocate's office into a veritable grassroots wrecking ball to be unleashed on City Hall. (slow down Bill, the voters didn't elect Norman Siegel! Take some time to get your desk situated and find the good restaurants near your new digs.) De Blasio announced that the new-and-improved office under his watch would troll the city teaching residents to organize, petition, and take on City Hall.
Liu was a little more democratic, but still pledged to be a watchdog of the utmost scrutiny, holding the city accountable, and even took a shot at no-bid contracts, which are a favorite of the Bloomberg-run Department of Education.
But really, who cares about all of that boring stuff...what about the bold-faced names! Well, actually, in the crowd of approximately 2,500 people, there weren't any bold-faced name worth mentioning. First term: Way to go, let's all celebrate! Second term: You're doing a great job, you have our support! Third term: Is there anything good on the food channel today?
Speaking of food, according to our source the pickings were pretty slim aside from a muffin stuffed inside the swag bag (which was really just a bunch of city brochures, i.e. propaganda) and small shots of hot apple cider in ceremonial Inaugural 2010 mugs. Wow, talk about belt-tightening.

The Nobel Prizes are probably the world's most famous awards that don't go to entertainers, but there are a number of prizes that are very significant in more specialized areas of study, such as the Fields Prizes in math. In terms of prizes that go to biologists, the Lasker Awards are probably the biggest, and in many ways fill a need left by the fact that the Nobel Prizes don't even have a biology category (biologists are shoehorned into chemistry or medicine, as needed). The Laskers "have celebrated scientists, physicians, and public servants whose accomplishments have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and even cure of many of the great crippling and killing diseases of our century." They interpret this mandate fairly broadly, and have awarded many discoveries in basic biology, including some that did not have a clear medical relevance at the time.
This year's awards fit this pattern nicely, as they reward what was originally thought to be a bit of a biochemical curiosity: how the ends of chromosomes are maintained. The three researchers who received the award played central roles in defining these structures, termed telomeres, and eventually identified the complex of proteins and RNA that maintain them. Liz Blackburn performed these experiments in Tetrahymena, in part with her grad student and fellow award winner, Carol Greider. Parallel experiments, some in collaboration with Blackburn, showed that a very similar system operated in yeast were done by Jack Szostak, who also took home a prize. These results made it clear that telomerase activity was likely to be a universal feature of eukaryotes. As it turns out, the intervening years have shown that the function of telomerase does have some significant medical relevance, as its expression can help a cell maintain its chromosomes through repeated cell divisions. Telomerase activity has been implicated in the growth of a number of cancers, and controlling it may be essential for future developments in stem cell-based therapies.
On the clinical side of things, the Laskers awarded Aaron Beck, who played an essential role in founding the field of cognitive therapy, over resistance from the field of traditional Freudian therapy. The Lasker citation for Dr. Beck points out that his battle to win a place for this new field helped bring more rigorous evaluation standards to psychotherapy in general. In addition, they handed a special achievement award to Joseph Gall for his pioneering work, including the development of the in situ hybridization technique, which helps spot messenger RNAs in cells and genes on chromosomes. But they also cite his role in promoting the entry of women into the field of biology, largely by simply treating them as equals in his lab. Among his students? Fellow winner Liz Blackburn.

It's already time to start thinking seriously about filing your Form 1040 for 2012, especially if you expect a refund. Here are seven little-known tax-saving goodies that could make your refund bigger or cut what you owe.
Deduct home mortgage points paid by someone else
Assuming you itemize deductions, you can write off points (including loan origination fees) that you pay to take out a mortgage to buy your principal residence. Surprisingly enough, you can also deduct mortgage points paid by the seller on your behalf to sweeten the deal. In fact, the IRS actually requires you to claim the deduction. If this happened to you last year, don't ask questions! Just follow the government's directions and claim a deduction for the seller-paid points on Line 10 or 12 of your Schedule A. Source: IRS Revenue Procedure 94-27.
Deduct medical expenses paid by someone else
For 2012, you can only deduct unreimbursed medical expenses to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. AGI is the number at the bottom of Page 1 of your Form 1040. It includes all taxable income items and is reduced by certain write-offs such as alimony payments to your ex-spouse, deductible IRA contributions and moving expenses. In a Tax Court case decided in 2010, the IRS argued that a daughter could not deduct some medical expenses because she did not pay for them with her own money. Instead, her mother covered the expenses by directly paying the medical service providers. The Tax Court disagreed. The facts of the case demonstrated that the mother intended the payments to be gifts. Therefore, the Tax Court characterized the transactions as gifts from the mother to the daughter followed by payment of the expenses by the daughter with the gifted funds. So the daughter was allowed to count $24,559 of medical expenses that were actually paid by her mother in calculating her medical expense deduction. Source: Judith Lang, TC Memo 2010-286 (2010).
Deduct real estate taxes paid by someone else
The daughter in the aforementioned 2010 Tax Court decision was also allowed to claim an itemized deduction for $5,508 of local real-estate taxes that were paid directly to the taxing authorities by her mother. Once again, the facts of the case demonstrated that the mother intended the payments to be gifts. Therefore, the Tax Court characterized the transactions as gifts from the mother to the daughter followed by payment of the taxes by the daughter with the gifted funds. So the daughter was allowed to deduct the taxes that were actually paid by the mother. Source: Judith Lang, TC Memo 2010-286 (2010).
Claim breaks for supporting a struggling relative
If you helped out a financially struggling relative last year, you may be eligible for some tax breaks. They can range from being able to use favorable head-of-household filing status (if you're unmarried), to claiming a $3,800 dependent exemption deduction, to bagging a medical expense write-off.
Deduct job search expenses
If you itemize deductions on Schedule A, you may be able to write off last year's expenses to hunt for a new job on your 2012 Form 1040. See: Deducting Job-Hunting Expenses
Deduct Medicare and long-term care insurance premiums
As explained earlier, you can only claim an itemized deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses, including health-insurance premiums, to the extent they exceed 7.5% of your AGI. That may seem like an insurmountable hurdle, but seniors can often clear it, especially if you remember to include the following:
- Premiums for Medicare Part B coverage, which for 2012 ranged from $1,199 to $3,836 per covered person — depending on your income level.
- Premiums for private Medicare Part C coverage (so-called Medicare Advantage HMO-type coverage which is supplemental to Part B coverage). Premiums vary depending on the plan, and they can be significant.
- Premiums for private Medicare Part D coverage (prescription drugs). Premiums vary depending on the plan. Higher-income folks pay an "adjustment amount" in addition to the basic plan premium. For 2012, the adjustment amount can be up to $66.40 per month (up to $797 for each covered person for the year).
- Premiums for private Medicare supplemental insurance (so-called Medigap coverage, which you don't need if you have Part C coverage). Premiums vary depending on the plan, and they can be significant.
- Premiums for qualified long-term-care insurance, subject to the 2012 age-based limits per covered person shown below.
|Age of Covered Person on 12/31/12
|2012 Deduction Limit
|Age 40 or younger
|Age 41 to 50
|Age 51 to 60
|Age 61 to 70
|Over age 70
Deduct fees to charge taxes to your credit card
Surprisingly enough, the IRS says you can treat credit-card convenience fees paid to charge personal federal income tax bills (including estimated tax payments) as miscellaneous itemized deductions. However, you only get a write-off to the extent your total miscellaneous itemized deductions exceed 2% of your AGI. (Other miscellaneous expenses include union dues, the aforementioned job-hunting expenses, fees for tax preparation and advice, and investment expenses.) Fill out lines 21 to 27 of Schedule A to see if you can benefit.

Despite the plethora of investment- and payout-options with available variable annuity contracts, advisors often focus on the tried-and-true reasons for using them with clients.
Dean Zayed, JD, LLM, CFP and CEO of Brookstone Capital Management LLC in Wheaton, Ill., cites two primary reasons for recommending VAs.
"One is to get a tax-deferred growth vehicle for a client, inside of which we would like to access some of the alternative space," he says, in an interview with AdvisorOne. "A typical client there could be a 45-year-old doctor who's in a high tax bracket, doesn't need an income rider or a death benefit, likes the tax-deferral and is looking for maximum growth.
"The second scenario typically," explains Zayed, "is where we're using the income rider where we have kind of a lifeboat built into the VA where it is a growth-engine. You still get tax-deferral but the primary purpose is to have this guaranteed future income stream which you can set up now by buying a rider."
As Zayed mentions, the option to consider alternative investments within a VA is attractive.
Tom Cochrane, CFA, publisher of the Annuity Digest, agrees.
"I think that the alternative market is here to stay, and that applies to the retail sector, as well," Cochrane says. "That makes sense given what's gone on over the past several years, in 2008, etc.
"People don't simply want to be pegged to what goes on in the broader market," he adds. "They want to have some sense of kind of downside protection and hedging, etc., and it's also a difficult return environment for people."
That interest among advisors and investors has led Jackson National Life to recently introduce its Elite Access VA, which includes alternative investments as a core part of its offering. (AdvisorOne's March 6 article discusses the product; more product details are available online.
The unanswered question, of course, is whether investment advisors will move client assets into alternatives within the VA contracts.
So far, at least, it's been less a flow of funds and more a trickle of assets among VAs that offer alternatives, says Frank O'Connor, product manager with Morningstar's Annuity Research Center.
"What I can tell you is that at least so far [alternatives are] a pretty small overall number in terms of assets under management within variable annuity products," O'Connor explains. "As of the end of 2011, there were approximately $1.5 trillion invested in VA products and just something a little bit under $2.5 billion of that is in alternatives."
Even within the alternatives allocations, however, investors aren't straying far from traditional asset classes.
O'Connor notes that 60% of the $2.5 billion is in long/short equities. Managed futures is the second-largest allocation with about 20% of the $2.5 billion in managed futures, and the rest is made up of bear-market strategies.
In contrast, large-blend funds have about $230 billion, and allocation funds have over $300 billion (of the $1.5 trillion VA total).
Those relatively conservative selections frequently are influenced by product requirements.
The allocations "are driven a lot by the living benefits that very often require a fund-of-funds with a specific asset-allocation model in use that helps the issuer control, or at least to some degree, manage their risk of offering those guarantees," he says. "So, that's where you tend to see the asset concentration when you look at the industry as a whole."
Despite the low adoption rates of alternative strategies, O'Connor believes the Elite Access product may appeal to advisors because it takes a different approach than its competitors.
"It's one thing to talk about the use of alternatives and how long there have been products out there where alternative asset classes have been available," he says. "I would say that that's distinctly different from Jackson National's new product, where the alternatives form a very core part of the strategy of the product itself.
"In that sense," O'Connor states, "it's a rather different animal, and I haven't seen exactly its equivalent yet. I think we're just going to kind of sit back and watch how this product does out in the marketplace and how well it resonates with its target audience."

Dean Foods takes a hit on WhiteWave spin-offOctober 26, 2012: 12:43 PM ET
Investors were lactose intolerant Friday.
Dairy giant Dean Foods officially spun off one of its most profitable subsidiaries through an initial public offering late Thursday.
Shares of WhiteWave (WWAV), which makes Horizon Organic and Silk soymilk, among other things, opened sharply higher, but fell back later in the day to trade near the IPO price of $17 a share.
Meanwhile, Dean Foods (DF) shares plunged 13% after the stock was downgraded by analysts at Stifel Nicolaus.
StockTwits traders had plenty to say.
Stockbasketball: If you own shares of $DF you own shares of $WWAV via the forthcoming spinoff. This sell off of $DF is just plain crazy
Here's where it gets interesting.
Dean Foods retains an 88% stake in WhiteWave, according to the company's prospectus. So the sell-off in shares of Dean Foods was somewhat perplexing.
JFinDallas: @ipoguy I am really surprised this $WWAV deal is being dumped so hard, I was convinced it was going to do well, not a good sign for the mkt
Dosberg: It's Chutes and Ladders for $DF today.
Blink: $DF Stifel d/g to Hold from Buy this is up over 7 pts into $WWAV IPO today, usually the parent gets smacked hard after IPO
Stockbasketball: Stifel Nicolaus downgrades $DF to hold as they are valuing the stock w/out $WWAV. That is genius cuz $DF still owns 88% of WWAV. Lol!

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Beet and Potato Borscht Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Flipping through this month's issue of Everyday Food, I noticed a great feature: soups based on the caramelizing power of roasting. It's quite a brilliant move, actually, to invigorate the soup repertoire by adding all kinds of flavor to an otherwise boiled dinner. So when I realized I had the basic ingredients sitting in my fridge — two parts beets to one part potatoes, some sprigs of thyme, and good chicken stock — I had a good dinner on the table in under an hour. That cold snap of Autumn had arrived, and warm soup sounded perfect.
The brilliance of this soup, besides the shocking color, is how deeply flavored it is with very little fat (just a few tablespoons needed to coat the chunks of roasted beet and potato). That's all thanks to a hot oven and the complex sweetness of roasted beets (If you're stuck on childhood memories of the pickled stuff, this might change your mind). That, and the roasted vegetables are roughly mashed instead of pureed, leaving the soup rustic and chunky, with a clean-tasting broth unclouded by starch that might be released by pureeing.
- Yield:4
- 2 pound red beets (about 5 medium), scrubbed, peeled, and cut into medium dice
- 1 pound russet potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into medium dice
- 2 shallots, coarsely chopped
- 3 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cups homemade chicken broth or low-sodium canned broth
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Sour cream
- 4 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread out in a single layer on rimmed baking sheet and tuck the sprigs of thyme in amongst the vegetables. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes, discarding the thyme once they are finished cooking.
Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a large saucepot and add the cooked vegetables. Mash roughly with a potato masher or wooden spoon, add the vinegar, and season to taste with salt and pepper and more vinegar if needed. Serve in bowls topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of parsley.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) proposed rule requiring registration of municipal advisors, and the rule's broad definintion of who is a municipal advisor, was one of the main focuses of a Congressional gathering Friday to discuss how Dodd-Frank is affecting municipal finance.
At the hearing of the House Financial Services Capital Markets Subcommittee, "The Impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on Municipal Finance," panelists and some lawmakers took issue with the as-yet unfinished SEC rule, which was required under Section 975 of Dodd-Frank.
Kenneth Gibbs, president of the Municipal Securities Group at Jefferies & Co., and chairman of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association's (SIFMA) Municipal Securities Division, said the proposed rule includes "numerous provisions that would go against congressional intent and statutory authority."
H.R. 2827, proposed by Rep. Robert Dold, R-Ill., which would amend Section 975 of Dodd-Frank, "would help address these issues by clarifying key provisions of the statute," Gibbs said.
Rep. Steve Garrett, R-N.J., chairman of the subcommittee, said at the hearing that defining a municipal advisor "is critical because once a market participant is defined as an advisor, those market participants are subject to a statutory fiduciary duty and additional antifraud provisions as well as registration and the new MSRB rules."
The SEC released its first draft of the rule in December 2010, and Garrett noted that after more than "1,000 mostly negative comment letters were received," the SEC went back to redraft a "more workable" rule.
Alan Polsky, chairman of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), told lawmakers that like Rep. Dold, MSRB is concerned about the effects of an "overly broad" definition of municipal advisor under the SEC's rule.
In February 2011, Polsky said the MSRB submitted a comment letter to the SEC that recommended several specific changes "related to the efficiency of the proposed municipal advisor registration process and the scope of the definition of municipal advisor." Consistent with the provisions of Dold's bill, he said, the MSRB also recommended excluding from the definition of municipal advisor not only municipal entities but employees of municipal entities.
One of the main sticking points of the bill is that it calls for eliminating the federal fiduciary duty of municipal advisors.
Polsky of MSRB said that while MSRB recognizes that it's up to "Congress to determine whether a federal fiduciary duty for advisors is appropriate" in a relationship of trust between a state or local government and a municipal advisor, "a fiduciary duty applies by virtue of common law."
The existing fiduciary duty may not be a federal one, he said, "but it exists nonetheless, whether labeled formally as a fiduciary duty, a duty of trust, a duty arising from an agent-principal relationship, or any other such other label." If the federal fiduciary standard were to be eliminated, Polsky continued, "there would still be applicable fiduciary duty standards in each of the 50 states."
