As Long Island Power Authority officials continue to negotiate with two possible power carriers to site a new power plant, leaders of one of those projects – pitched to utilize the Shoreham Power Plant parcel – held an open house Thursday night to inform members of the public and answer any questions locals may have.
Held at North Shore Public Library, the informational session lasted from 4 to 8 p.m. and saw about 125 people come through and speak with members of the company proposing the project.
Illinois-based JPower, which currently operates four existing power plants on Long Island including a 79mW plant at Shoreham, is proposing a 400mW project dubbed the Tesla Generating Station – in honor of the famous scientist who worked out of Wardenclyffe.
The project would cost an estimated $500 million to build on the site of the decommissioned nuclear station. LIPA officials whittled down their list of finalists in October to the JPower project and a 700mW plant in Yaphank, next to the existing Caithness facility. Newsday has reported previously that bills can be expected to increase by about 2.5 percent by the time the additional project is operational.
JPower officials have been tentative to put an exact dollar amount on the amount the company would pay in lieu of taxes should the project be selected by LIPA, however pointed to Caithness' existing 350mW facility for comparison, which pays about $9 million per year. Steve Thome, vice president of development for JPower, said that 68 percent of the total PILOT payments will go toward Shoreham-Wading River School District.
So comparing existing numbers, considering the proposed Shoreham project is slightly bigger than the existing Caithness facility, Shoreham-Wading River School District could see over $6 million in budget relief annually. The rest would go toward Brookhaven Town and special taxing districts in the area such as fire and library.
Though the financial benefit didn't mean attendees on Thursday didn't have concerns, which JPower took in through survey sheets.
"Obviously they can't tell you about the negatives," said Alan Lebowitz, who attended the meeting. "But overall I do think it's a good thing. Possible employment, help with the tax burden, utilizing some of that dead space over there."
Sally Macken, a real estate agent who attended the informational with Lebowitz, said she feared for the real estate market.
"Some people don't want to live in the vicinity of a power plant, so I hope that doesn't have an impact on eroding value as it is," she said.
JPower's proposal on the 58-acre parcel attempts to quell environmental concerns by utilizing natural gas to power the electrical plant.
Thome said JPower had originally considered tapping into the Iroquois Pipeline, which runs from Connecticut to Northport and travels under the Long Island Sound, though said Thursday night that a more likely scenario would be to connect to a main under the Long Island Expressway and connect to the Iroquois at a later date.
Sid Bail, president of the Wading River Civic Association expressed noise and further visual concerns as JPower builds out more on the property.
Bail said that while he's "not personally enthusiastic about this project, we are willing to work with JPower to – if they are anointed by LIPA, assuming there even is a LIPA in six months – make this the best possible project for everybody."
Suffolk Legislator Sarah Anker, whose district extends east following a redistricting process next year and will cover the area where the project is located, said she is hoping to meet with JPower officials sometime in January to learn more about the project.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Vibrant, expressive, focused and concentrated, dancing lightly with an array of toast? and mineralaccented peach, pear, lime and orange blossom flavors, lingering enticingly against refined acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Minerally overtones accent flavors of candied black cherry, black currant and gumdrop that remain fresh, with a lively bead and well-cut acidity carrying accents of lemon zest, biscuit and fresh herb. Elegant yet expressive. Drink now through 2020."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Marked by oak spice, this reveals toast, peach, apple and lemon underneath. Rich, open and balanced on the bright side, with a long finish. Improved with a few hours aeration."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An exceptionally elegant nose of lemon zest, white flower, spiced pear and plenty of stone influence complements well the equally mineral-infused, intense and beautifully welldetailed flavors that possess that wonderful sense of underlying tension. I particularly like the long, dry and linear..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Château Grenouilles is a parcel within the Grenouilles Grand Cru, a monopoly of the La Chablisienne cooperative. The wine is always impressive. It has weight, richness, concentration and considerable potential. Yellow fruits, wood-aging, spice and a firm structure indicate keeping this wine for..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A nice contrast to the Macherelles, the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye is quite a bit brighter and more taut than its Chassagne sibling. There is an underlying salinity that gives the Maltroye its energy and focus. Floral notes add lift on the crystalline, articulate finish. This is a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Resplendent in its new shiny gold label, Krug is a majestic Champagne. Its velvet texture, dominated by mature flavors, is toasty and rich, dense and complex. In the mouth, its beautiful roasted almond, spice and ripe pears all balance impressively. Could the wine be getting even better? No..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The palate is impressive: tightly coiled, honeyed fruit, very fine acidity, linear at first then fanning out across the finish with notes of dried apricot, nectarine, a touch of almond and a faint hint of spice. With good length and unctuous on the finish, this Guiraud is impossible to ignore.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This offers a big step up in aromatic elegance with its stone, rose petal and lemon and orange peel scents that dissolve seamlessly into racy and wonderfully energetic flavors that possess excellent depth and length. The mid-palate seems directly extracted from liquid stone as 2010 is a vintage..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very subtle hint of oak sets off notes of spice, citrus peel, pear, acacia and tidal pool aromas.

Toyota Camry Fuse and Electrical Questions
wadeg Posts: 1My Camry is a 1995 automatic and is experiencing the same problem with non-working back up lights. Is the solution the same as you Jul 18, 2011 5:35pm reply? I don't have a test light or know how to use one, and is there a diagram I can look at that will help guide me? Should I disconnect the battery first? Thanx in advance for your assistance.
twodragons Posts: 1the wiring harness burned out. would the ECU need to be replaced and where is it. i had to replace the wiring harness inside the camry. first of all the battery doesnt stay charged, when i crank it it turns but it doesnt start. the wipers dont work nor the power windows to include the A/c. also i have to push down the over ride button to get the car to shift. i need help in figuring out the problems are. Can anyone help me. and thank you in advance.
My camry 2009 can't start. I hv few questions to ask:
1) Do adjusting the steering tilting lever when the ignition is on caused this?
2) The battery was jump-started but the engine just don't turn on, I put the cable +ve to+ve, -ve To -ve but no earthing connection,
3) when change to new battery, still can't start, no panel ilumnition light, no power window, the brake can be released, can't move the gearshift from P, but car light is there, cd can be on, though i didn't wait to hear the audio,
4) mechanic checks all the fuses, ok, but suspect the 2 certical long fuses (blue color) under the hood the main culprit.
First I have to thank many people who posted possible causes on back light not working. I had similar problem and went back to look inside the trunk on the driver side. Immediately I saw 5 of 6 wires were broken. After reconnecting the wires, all the lights worked. Many thanks.
My Camry has another problem. The "engine check light" is on. I used a reader and got the P0446 code "EVAP system, vent control malfunction." I looked around the hoses for cracks. They all seem ok. A manual said it is a bad VSV for vapor pressure sensor. I replaced the old one near the charcoal canister in the back with a new one. The light won't go away. Then I took out the VSV for EVAP near the air filter in the front and tested it. I cannot blow air through it. When I connected a 12-volt battery to it, it clicked and I can blow air. So I assumed it is good. I disconnected the electrical connector to the VSV for EVAP and measured the DC voltage across its 2 pins, when the key was turned to "ignition on" and when the car was started. In both cases, there was no voltage measured. Does this mean it is an electrical problem? What can I test next to locate the problem?
Thanks for the help.
thayes1 Posts: 1I purchased the car from a dealer in November. Neither outlet worked when I got home so I took it in they changed the fuse and wala until now. Now neither work again suddenly. I have checked the two 20 amp fuses in the fuse panel under the steering wheel, they were fine and brand new looking.
What else could this be. Also not that they should be related but as of a couple weeks ago my trunk release inside doesn't work either.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am importing my car to Canada from the USA. In the US the 2002 Toyota Camry has a DRL switch that allows you to control when the running lights stay on. In Canada they are telling me the 2002 Toyota Camry had them stay on permanently. I need to rectify this. Can someone tell me what the componenet is that I need to buy to enable this or if there is part of the electrical path that can be blocked so that I can't turn them off? Thank you.
jfsimp1 Posts: 1The speedometer and odometer have stopped working in my 98 Camry V6. I replaced the VSS but it did not resolve the issue. Before it failed the speedometer was fluctuating. Also the cruise control does not work, but all other gauges do work? Any thoughts on how to diagnose before I take my next planned step- replacing the cluster. Could it be the wiring, or even something as bizarre as an issue with the dome light? or as simple as a fuse?
kymechu Posts: 1Hello,
I just bought a car that needs a little bit of work. I did not realize the guy had taken out a fuse and replaced it with a poor-quality, home-made anti-theft switch with no fuse at all! Need to replace fuse, but cannot determine what fuse to put in. Does anyone have a link to a schematic to identify what fuse to put in?
turkster Posts: 1I have a 1994 Toyota Camry LE. Recently, the cruise control stopped functioning. When I press the button to activate the cruise, the light on the dash flickers for 2-3 seconds before going out. I thought I might try to replace the fuse first before I take it to a repair shop. Problem is that I can't find the fuse. Any ideas which fuse box and which specific fuse would control the cruise control?
larryhughes Posts: 1My 2006 Toyota Camry SE has been sitting for 3+ years in my backyard (long story) and I am just pulling it out now. Anyways everything is fine except my heater and ac controls dont work. My fan operates but NO heat, NO AC and NO rear defrogger. In the video in this link/URL on youtube I point them out. I check the fuse in and out of the car for "HTR". I dont know what else to check...is it that I just need an AC recharge? but then why would not my rear defogger light come on or work? anyways, please help and you can see exactly what I am talking about here camry video on youtube.com

Rated 5 out of 5�by Michelle Dick's sporting good store The sales associate at the store was very helpful, polite, and friendly. He offered to look on line for the shoes. He had to check several options for the shoes in my daughter size. Not one time did he complain or fuss. His personality spoke volume by itself. I really appreciate his help. May 5, 2014

PORTLAND -- Police call it a dirty secret that is drawing thousands of men a year to the city looking for one thing: underage girls for sex.
A dedicated group of undercover Portland police officers is cracking down harder than ever on child sex trafficking.
They said this trafficking is some of the worst in the country and it's happening right in front of our eyes.
"The sex industry in Portland is huge. On almost every corner is a porn shop, strip club, lingerie parlor. It definitely breeds itself," said Officer Jeff Ruppel.
Police said it's become so bad, they call it a tourist attraction.
"We have a lot of johns pick up a rental car and drive straight to the avenue and find a girl," added Ruppel.
The avenue he's talking about is Portland's Northeast 82nd. For the first time, the Portland Police Bureau's undercover prostitution division took KGW along to the front lines of their back-alley war.
"I know there are girls that are 14 that are walking 82nd," said Ruppel.
That's the average age in Portland a girl, barely out of puberty, will be forced to have sex with a grown man for the first time, he said.
Young women want their stories told.
"I've been doing this on and off since I was 13," said "Lexi." "I wanted to be a nurse and a teacher, not a heroin addict and a prostitute."
The demand is insatiable.
"The minute we get one off the road, there's another one we've never met before," said Ruppel.
During the sting, police caught "Tony," a 50-year-old grandfather who's separated from his wife.
He admits to pulling over a prostitute on 82nd and giving her $130. He said he had never done anything like this before.
"I feel like I have no values, I'm feeling really bad that I got caught," said Tony.
Throughout the day, undercover police tracked girls who looked underage. You could mistake them for high school students walking home, except that school got out hours ago.
"You'll see them look down the side streets a lot to see if anyone pulls over for them," said Ruppel.
Another mistake? Thinking any of these women are willing participants. They're not, police said. Time and time again, their pimps are not far behind.
"That guy that's showed them any love is that guy that's forcing them to work," Ruppel added.
Pimps lure young girls with the promises of love and money, but "Marie" explained what happens next.
"He started selling me to who he called his friends," she said. Marie had been abused by her stepfather as a child. She eventually ran away and into the arms of a man more than twice her age.
"Before I knew it, I'm going in bedrooms. Sometimes they would bring shirts from their granddaughters and want me to wear them. I didn't know I was worth more."
Police met Christine after another bust that night. She started working when she was just 13. Christine is now 38.
"She described him as a 'gorilla pimp,' basically forcing her to be out, abusing her physically, probably sexually," said Officer Mike Gallagher.
For most of these women, their fate is as hard as the looks on their faces.
"You'll stop and talk to them 10, 15 times. There's a lot of patience, a lot of getting yelled at, getting cussed at. Someday you hope they come around," said. Ruppel. "Have the courage to come around to run for help."
"It's survival at our lowest. Not any one of us would do this by choice," said Lexi. On an average night, police can arrest upwards of a half-dozen men off 82nd.
This is a three-night investigation. On Tuesday, KGW looks into how this trafficking is moving off the streets and onto the Internet, where it's easier to hide these young girls.

What makes a man a man?
I had intended to regale you with my experience in competing in a man-pageant.
Thankfully, there was no swimsuit portion of this competition.
The reason I was going to relate my pageant/contest experience is because this week's cover story is about a similar concept, albeit with a greater purpose than crowning a new BMOC (if you don't know what that means, I suggest you find an old Archie comic book).
The reason that I'm NOT going to tell you about that collegiate yarn from days of yore is because we encountered a hitch in the process of putting together this week's cover story about the Mr. Myrtle Beach competition.
It seems the organizers and principals of the fourth annual Mr. Myrtle Beach Contest and Katie's Project (a local non-profit that helps local high school students procure costly formalwear for proms and other social events, which the contest benefits), apparently didn't want Surge doing a story on the event and its contestants unless they controlled the flow of information and how it was presented – and at one point the 12 contestants were instructed not to respond to our inquiries.
Well, I'm going to let you be the judge.
I enlisted the help of three of my correspondents, and each of us were tasked with getting in touch with three Mr. Myrtle Beach contestants, interviewing them and writing up mini-bios/profiles, and I prepared a questionnaire which I e-mailed to my profilees and correspondents.
I included a disclaimer that I knew some of the questions were over-the-top and they reserved the right to simply not answer questions that they didn't feel like answering.
I also said, "We're trying to dig a little deeper into the psyches of you guys, the contestants, and tell the Grand Strand your individual stories and have some fun, too."
My three contestant profiles responded rather quickly, some choosing to plead the 5th a few times, but providing some entertaining and insightful answers as well.
But over the Labor Day weekend, the backtracking began as one of the contestants sent me an e-mail stating, "I was informed that the directors of Katie's Project do not feel the questions you have posed in your e-mail are appropriate as the organization represents young students," so I quickly came up with some additional questions for the contestants and instructed my colleagues to do the same.
Here is the gag-order-style message I found out about: " Subject: Do Not Reply to Surge Emails. Hi, please do not answer the e-mail from Surge, I'm insulted by the questions as we represent young students. Thank you & I apologize that this reporting is so tacky."
I don't know for certain, but I'd be willing to bet that these were the questions that offended:
Q. | What makes you so effin' special and why should you be crowned Mr. Myrtle Beach?
Q. | Everyone wants to know - briefs, boxers or commando?
Q. | When was the last time you got laid?
Q. | What makes a man a man, other than genitalia?
Q. | Katie's Project has a direct relation to proms – how was your prom experience; rockin', lame, stag or a tale of lost virginity?
The remaining and majority of questions were about style, sports, pop culture and civics
If our questions were too adult-oriented, what about hosting the competition in a nightclub that recently ran an ad campaign featuring a baby and the copy: "We prefer to leave the babysitting to other clubs…We are 21+ only"?
"In regard to the location of the event, that is a great question," Sarah George, Project Coordinator for Katie's Project, said in an e-mail. "We have fundraisers all the time that include alcohol and/or are held in nightclubs, as do most non-profits, again we try to set an example of responsible adult behavior. This event is open to all ages and both our staff and that of Revolutions is prepared to handle underage attendees. Just like at any restaurant that serves alcohol, families can patronize but not all will be served. In the case of Revolutions, they don't typically allow minors to patronize, however this will be a private event that is heavily monitored and all minors will leave once the show is over prior to the club opening to the public."
Ultimately, I could have killed the story, but decided to trudge forward and I have detailed all of this mainly to explain why some of the profiles/mini-bios of this year's Mr. Myrtle Beach contestants are more complete than others – we attempted to give everyone a fair shake. For whatever reason – whether it be the organizers discouraging them from speaking with us – not all of the contestants responded to our multiple attempts – e-mail, phone calls, via social media - in time for our deadline.
Never the less, turn to page 12 to get all the info you need prior to Saturday's contest, which is billing itself as a "true manly competition" featuring fashion modeling, talent portion, and a competitive Q-and-A (no tacky questions 'lowed).
You may have noticed that our environmental/eco column Living Green did not appear in last week's issue of Surge. It's not going away (in fact the latest edition is online now) - rather it will be featured bi-weekly from now on, akin to most of our other locally-generated features.

A trio of accidents on New Year's morning sent four people to the hospital.
Just before one this morning first responders were sent to the 36th St. Exit ramp off of Interstate 80. A Honda clipped a white sedan sending it down an embankment and caused it to land on its top. Two people were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Two hours later responders were called to a head-on collision at 144th & El Dorado. A man in his 20's was heading southbound on 144th when he lost control hitting a car heading north. The female driver suffered minor injuries. The male drive was not hurt. Police say alcohol is a likely factor ion the crash.
Then around 2:30 a woman lost control of her vehicle at 50th and Cass and smashed into a tree. The driver, 26-year-old Jamie Worley was not wearing a seatbelt and suffered facial and leg fractures. She is expected to survive.

The Repeal SMART voter initiative is dead, at least for now.
The Marin County Registrar of Voters brought in extra help Monday to count signatures on petitions that could force a voter referendum to repeal tax dollars for the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit system in Marin and Sonoma Counties. At about 11:15 a.m., the announced total was 9,111 votes gathered in Marin. Added to the 5,471 gathered in Sonoma County last week, the total was 14,582, or 320 short of the 14,902 necessary to at least start the verification process.
John Parnell of Novato, co-founder and treasurer of the Repeal SMART campaign, said that had he been more experienced in the political process, the petition process might have gone better.
"I've never done anything like this before," Parnell said. "... If I had been a bit better a petition management — that's the most depressing part — we only worked this over two months and we know we could have gotten the number."
Parnell said he would go back to the Repeal SMART volunteers and supporters to determine the next steps.
"I talked to my 4-year-old daughter and she knows what the word 'fail' means, now," Parnell said. "It's when you don't do what you tried to do."
When he arrived Monday, Parnell verified the seals on the boxes of petitions before they could be opened to begin the count at the elections office. Several questions came up shortly thereafter from the workers recruited by County Registrar Elaine Ginnold, such as whether a signature would count if the address was scratched out or not included. The intitial answer was yes, but during the verification process it would be thrown out.
Administrative Services Manager Nina West represented SMART, which aims to build a commuter train system between Santa Rosa and San Rafael using mostly taxpayer money from Marin and Sonoma Counties. Eventually, once more funds are secured, the train system would run from Cloverdale to Larkspur and have a pedestrian/bike path next to the tracks. SMART, overseen by General Manager Farhad Mansourian, recently awarded contracts of more than $103 million for construction of the system, pushing the total contracts awarded to more than $200 million.
Parnell joked with West on Monday morning, saying "Farhad didn't want to come?" She replied that he was not available.
In most referendum efforts, initiative organizers turn in many thousands of signatures more than that are required to compensate for a percentage of unverified signatures.
In the initial review of the petition booklets, Parnell explained to Ginnold some of the problems. "Some people skipped pages, some people started from the back of the booklet," Parnell said.
Barbara Stout, another Repeal SMART campaign volunteer who came to observe the count, added, "They did all kinds of interesting things."
Those interesting things included tearing out pages without signatures or submitting only the signed pages instead of the complete booklet.
The SMART board of managers were to determine how many verified signatures were needed to have them vote on placing a voter referendum on the ballot in the two counties. Repeal SMART has maintained that the minimum number of verified signatures would be about 15,000, but Mansourian has said legislation shows it would need to be closer to 40,000.
The Sonoma county registrars office said Thursday that one of two formulas would be used — five percent of the number of voters in the last gubernatorial election (roughly 15,000); or 10 percent of registered voters in the last general election (roughly 40,000). The SMART board would have determined that figure at an upcoming meeting, but that won't happen now that the minimum has not been reached.
"It's disappointing that we had so many obstacles in the way of the process," Parnell said of the shifting requirement.

Hanna Recap of the Entergy/Vermont Yankee Oral Arguments in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
January 14, 2013
A Recap of the Entergy/Vermont Yankee Oral Arguments in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
by Cheryl Hanna
Professor of Law
Vermont Law School
It isn't often that you get to watch two of the best constitutional lawyers in the country argue a case of such importance. Today's case in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals was excellent, and no matter whether you're for or against Vermont Yankee, you had to admire the skills of both David Frederick, who argued on behalf of Vermont, and Kathleen Sullivan, Entergy's lawyer. Two legal superstars. Two outstanding arguments. (Attorney General Bill Sorrell deserves credit for hiring Frederick. It may just turn out to be one of the best decisions he ever made.)
Predicting how the three-judge panel will decide, however, is not quite as easy as praising the lawyers. The judges were well prepared and asked insightful questions during the 30-minute argument, but, in the end, gave very little indication which arguments would prevail in this admittedly complex case.
Perhaps the best way to sum up the argument is that it was a battle between the past and the future. Frederick began with Pacific Gas and Electric, the 1983 case in which the United States Supreme Court held that the state of California was not preempted from regulating the economic aspects of a nuclear power facility. It was this precedent, coupled with federal law, that allowed Vermont to pass Act 160, what he termed a "process statute." Judge Garvan Murtha, Frederick argued, violated the holding of Pacific Gas because he cherry-picked the legislative record instead of looking to the language of the statute itself for the legislative intent. He quoted Chief Justice John Roberts about judges examining the legislative record: It is like being at a party. You look out and find your friends.
Frederick also made two additional arguments that were noteworthy. First, he made the point that Vermont had no affirmative duty whatsoever to relicense Vermont Yankee and that the company hadn't raised any due process arguments during litigation. This suggested to the court that Vermont could have decided any process by which to relicense Vermont Yankee, or no process at all.
Even more compelling (at least the chief judge) was the point that Vermont could be stuck with the bill of decommissioning the plant if Vermont Yankee declared bankruptcy and skipped town. That alone, Frederick argued, was enough of an economic interest to justify the state's actions.
The main strength, and weakness, of Frederick's argument was his reliance on Pacific Gas. The Pacific Gas case is old, Sullivan argued, and was decided when nuclear power plants sold their power directly to consumers. "PG&E came from a different era," claimed Sullivan. Vermont Yankee is a "merchant plant" that sells to the grid. If Vermont doesn't want power from us, then don't buy it. There was also the subtle implication that today's Supreme Court would be far more skeptical of what happened in Vermont when it was attempting to shutter a federally regulated power plant than was the Court that decided Pacific Gas. To that end, she quoted Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who, while on the Second Circuit, indicated that states can't claim one reason for regulation to mask another preempted one.
Sullivan pointed repeatedly to the record, which shows Vermont's party was only full of safety-minded friends, calling it a "cherry orchard" of statements that should lead any reasonable person to the conclusion that the state was motivated if primarily, but exclusively, over radiological safety.
And what about the concern over Vermonters footing the bill if Vermont Yankee skipped town? One answer: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which already has significant oversight here. That too is about events that haven't yet happened.
Sullivan then made the extremely important point that the court could rule "as applied" just on the narrow issues without having to make a broad ruling. She gave the court a modest way out, and one that might ultimately persuade the court when faced with a decision that could otherwise have wide-reaching implications.
The state should be happy that the bench at least took seriously their argument that Judge Murtha should not have ruled as he did. Whether the gravitas and intellect of Frederick is enough to convince them in the face of overwhelming evidence that the legislature was primarily motivated by safety is harder to call. The state still bears the burden, and the facts and (in my opinion) the law still favor Entergy. If the state loses, it won't be because it was out-lawyered. It will be because, in the end, a federal court was reluctant to shutter a federally licensed nuclear power plant on the basis of this particular legislative history. That has as much as do with judicial conservatism as it does with nuclear power.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Bank of America Corp. led financial stocks higher following an upgrade with the broader market rallying Wednesday after Alcoa Inc. reported a surprise quarterly profit late Tuesday.

Shares of blue chip Bank of America Corp. /quotes/zigman/190927/delayed/quotes/nls/bac BAC -1.03% rose 3.8% to close up $8.86 following an upgrade from Guggenheim Securities. In a research note, Guggenheim analyst Marty Mosby, who has a $11 price target on the bank, raised B. of A. to a buy from neutral.
The analyst called the stock's recent fall from $10 a share a buying opportunity and said the bank could show gains from securities transactions and the retirement of debt this quarter.
Mosby also said he expects earnings surprises from Wells Fargo & Co. /quotes/zigman/239557/delayed/quotes/nls/wfc WFC -0.12% , Regions Financial Corp. /quotes/zigman/351634/delayed/quotes/nls/rf RF -0.59% and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. /quotes/zigman/445224/delayed/quotes/nls/bk BK -0.66% Shares of Wells Fargo, which reports quarterly results this Friday, closed up 2.1%.
Genworth /quotes/zigman/340124/delayed/quotes/nls/gnw GNW -0.37% shares rose 3.2% to close at $7.54 after institutional brokerage BTIG started coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a price target of $11.
BTIG analyst Mark Palmer said in a note he believes the stock is undervalued because concerns about its U.S. mortgage insurance unit are "overblown," and that the unit is on track to return to profitability in 2013.
Shares of MetLife Inc. /quotes/zigman/252112/delayed/quotes/nls/met MET -1.31% advanced 1.4% to close at $35.33 after Raymond James analyst Steven Schwartz upgraded the insurer to outperform from market perform in a research note. The analyst, who has a $42 price target on MetLife, cited the stock's under valuation over the past three months as key to the upgrade.
Schwartz also lowered his rating on Assurant Inc. /quotes/zigman/334312/delayed/quotes/nls/aiz AIZ -1.79% to underperform from market perform on regulatory concerns that its specialty property forced-placed homeowners' insurance will make it unlikely to keep up with the rest of the insurance sector. Shares of Assurant closed up 1.1%.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR /quotes/zigman/246222/delayed/quotes/nls/xlf XLF -0.52% which tracks financial stocks in the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.45% , rose 1.6%. The sector was the best performing of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500, following the worst day for U.S. equity markets in 2012 on Tuesday.
Similarly, the KBW Bank Index /quotes/zigman/21809808/realtime BKX -0.45% , which follows the 24 leading U.S. banks, advanced 2.1%.
Among the other financial stocks on the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.42% : J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM -0.93% shares rose 2.4%. The bank is scheduled to report quarterly results on Friday.

This warm, sweet spice comes from the bark of a tree native to Sri Lanka. The bark is removed, dried and rolled up to make a tube. Cinnamon is sold dry as sticks and ground as a powder.
It's best to buy ground cinnamon in small quantities because the freshness and flavour quickly disappear. You can try to grind your own cinnamon from the bark but it's difficult to get it fine enough.
Ground cinnamon is gorgeous cooked with apples or in baked goods such as buns, cakes, sweet pastries and puddings. Mexicans also used it to flavour chocolate dishes and drinks. Cinnamon bark is added to poaching syrup for fruits such as pears, plums and bananas and to mulled wine or punch. Cinnamon bark is also used to flavour meat, poultry and vegetable stews and can be added to spicy marinades.

Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association
A founding member of the Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association (2006 and on Board until 2012). Commenting on his Santa Barbara Channel swim: "I was absolutely taken in by the city and hosted in fine fashion by the other Board members, kayakers and three Honourees of the IMSHOF: Alison and Freda Streeter and David Yudovin. On the day the sun was fantastic and the playful seals and majestic manta rays were the best aquatic life I have ever seen on a swim."
Cork Distance Week
Denison helps organise several of the longer swim in Ireland and leads the annual Cork Distance Week, which draws more than 50 swimmers. He is an excellent contact (email@example.com) for American swimmers looking to Europe.
Denison's Cork Distance Week was nominated for the 2012 World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year award. Its World Open Water Swimming Association nomination reads, "A tiny part of the world – Sandycove Island in Ireland – has become a must-do and must-see in the channel swimming world. Sandycove plays host to the Cork Distance Week, the absolutely most brutal, the most unforgiving, the downright dastardly difficult open water swimming camp in the world. Led by a mountain of a man who has pushed himself to the brink, the Cork Distance Week has a tremendous record of channel swimming success. Offered for an unbelievable reasonable price in elements that can be completely and thoroughly unreasonable, the Cork Distance Week prepares all-comers for anything and everything in the open water. For its 8-day high mileage of intense preparation, for its unyielding psychological and physiological stress that it offers, for its unequaled record of success, the Cork Distance Week by Ned Denison is a worthy nominee for the 2012 WOWSA Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year."

ANDOVER, Mss. — Students attending high school dances in this upscale Boston suburb will need to pass a Breathalyzer test before they are allowed in, the school board has decreed.
The policy is aimed at curbing a growing alcohol problem among teenagers in the community, including increased incidences of drinking and driving, officials said.
A student government poll of students found that more than 60 percent of them object to the policy, considering it heavy-handed and unnecesary.
Paula Colby-Clements, head of the school board, said she could understand the students' concern but non-drinking students had nothing to worry about since they would be in compliance.
"Whenever you have policies, like one making you wear a seat belt, people get a little antsy when Big Brother is telling them what to do," she remarked.
The Breathalyzer tests will start with this year's Valentine's Day Dance, one of the biggest of the high school year. Students who test positive will be subject to disciplinary action and turned over to their parents.
Andover is a community of 33,000 located 25 miles north of Boston. The median family income is $140,000. It is also home to the prestigious Phillips Academy boarding school attended by President George H. W. Bush and his son, President George W. Bush.
Details for this story were provided by The Eagle-Tribune, North Andover, Mass.

"Better Dig Two" suggests duality, which is appropriate: The Band Perry play with loud and soft dynamics on their new track for a mix of clang and twang. The family country band shifts from subdued hand claps and banjo finger-picking to explosive choruses flush with huge guitar crashes and Kimberly Perry's searing hot siren calls. It's a rugged sound for the siblings, but one they balance well with moments of delicate melody. "Better Dig Two" will be on the Band Perry's still-untitled second album, which is due next spring.

Along with the Harley-Davidson Rocker and Rocker C, the 2008 Fat Bob is a brand new bike that offers a departure from the typical factory cruiser formula. Though less radical than the Rocker, the Harley Fat Bob's dual headlights lend it a distinctive look that offers a twist on traditional Harley style, while fat tires and a low seat accentuate its mean road presence.
Harley Fat Bob: And Then There Were Seven
Joining the FXD Super Glide, FXDB Street Bob, FXDL Low Rider, FXDWG Wide Glide Anniversary Edition, and the FXDC Super Glide Custom, the FXDF Fat Bob easily fits into the Dyna family like a long lost brother. Shared characteristics with other Dynas include an air-cooled, rubber-mounted Twin Cam 96 V-twin, Electronic Fuel Injection, a 6-speed Cruise Drive Transmission, an under-seat battery box, and exposed rear shocks. Like all Dynas, the Fat Bob incorporates a chassis that was redesigned in 2006 for better handling.
The bike's exterior proportions support its distinctive name. Though the rider sits on a low, amply cushioned saddle, a wide 5.1 gallon fuel tank forces legs to wrap around. A bobtail rear fender rests over a 180mm wide 16" rear tire, and slotted disc wheels add visual heft to the bike's profile, as do curvaceous 2-1-2 chrome staggered shorty exhausts with a "Tommy Gun" perforation pattern . Up front, a 16" 130mm tire—the largest ever on a Dyna—is paired with a small fender that recalls the bobber-inspired styling derived from customized, post World War II bikes. The Fat Bob's face has a striking demeanor: its v-shaped drag bar and blacked out fork sliders, handlebar risers, and mirrors are capped with slick twin headlights that distinguish it from Harleys past.
The Mechanical Underpinnings Beneath That Factory-Custom Style
Harley-Davidson Dynas boast their own bold style, and the Fat Bob's mechanicals are suited to its too-cool-for-school exterior. The rubber-mounted Twin Cam 96 is a 1,584cc powerplant that, as is typical with Harley engines, is tuned for massive low-end grunt. Torque peak is 92 ft lbs at an impressive 3,000 rpm, which encourages short shifting when maximum acceleration is required. A 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission provides smooth shift action, and though the clutch isn't hydraulic, pedal effort is manageable.
Front brakes incorporate large, dual floating rotors with 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers which slow down the 703 lb bike effectively, while providing decent feedback and moderate lever effort. All 2008 Dynas feature black stainless steel braided brake lines.
The wide-set front fork is a 49mm polished aluminum unit with dual-rate springs, and exposed coil-over shocks sit the rear. Aiding its custom look is a fork rake of 28 degrees.
He Looks Mean, But How Does Fat Bob Ride?
Because you sit in the Fat Bob, not on it, wind turbulence is not as overwhelming as you might expect at highway speeds. The lack of protection does create a good amount noise and breeziness, but the rider's low position within the bike helps avoid the "sail in the wind" sensation created by the Fat Bob's stablemate, the Rocker. Lean angle is measured at 30 degrees on the right side and 31 degrees on the left, and while peg scraping can be a part of hard turns, overall clearance is appropriate for a custom-style cruiser.

Disc Repair System - Skip Doctor- Model #: 1018300
STOP! Don't throw away that DVD, CD, data or game disc because it skips, freezes up or won't play - repair it and save! Repair disc after disc after disc for the price you'd pay to replace just one of them! You'll be amazed at the amount of the money you'll save with a SkipDr. DVD/CD repair system. The patented FlexiWheel's advanced microfrictional surface uniformly repairs and renews the disc's protective layer while leaving the data unaffected. Just spray your disc with the fluid, pop it in the SkipDr. and gently turn the handle. As you do, it fixes scratches, removes dirt and repairs other surface imperfections. And it's so gentle, you can repair the same disc multiple times. Limited lifetime warranty. Not for use with Playstation discs or BluRay DVDs.
My 4 year old is very hard on my PS2 game disc collection and recently scratched a very hard to replace game. I ran the disc through this 3 times and it is working again. Very happy with the purchase of the skip Dr! I've refurbished several discs already including a music cd that wouldn't play before running it through this. Also makes a great forearm workout machine! :)

I already own one of these and I love it but now am out of the liquid. I was able to get a computer program disk to repair enough that we did not have to buy another one. My husband got a DVD from a thrift store and put it through this 3 times and was able to watch it almost all the way through. We have even resurfaced Grandpa's CDs so he can play them again because they were all scratched up. This is a wonderful little invention!!

Was skeptical, but the unit actually DOES re-surface a disk and make it usable again. It is not just a 'cleaner' but actually polishes minor scratches and abrasions off the disc. I used it on unplayable CD's as well as CD-Rom's and DVD's and ALL were restored to playability. It won't work on deep gouge scratches (nothing will) but for minor scratches that cause mis-tracking or dvd/cd errors, this is a real winner!
