Music is magic. There's nothing else like it. Unlike a book, movie or television show you want to listen to great songs over and over and over again. Music is a time machine. Nothing can bring you back in time like a song. Great musicians are the magicians moving layers of notes from verse to chorus in amazing ways making your brain fire a thousand thoughts.
This week was fully right brain for me. I performed Energy Audits, managed construction projects and did a pile of paperwork. Last night driving home I decided to switch from listening to my tech talk podcasts to music for the first time in seven days. Pandora app finger tapped. Start a station: Blondie. "Call Me" (iTunes link) started to play and all the numbers and yawns of my week disappeared. Street lights smeared and red and black lasers started to shoot our the side of my car. What a cool song that woman wrote. So very cool.
Music always wins for me.

Samie Al-Ziab is off to a great start to the wrestling season. The junior opened the year with a win against perennial power Chelmsford last Wednesday. He followed that up with four pins at the Wilmington Sons of Italy Tournament on Saturday en route to a first place finish. Orlando Rojas also won against Chelmsford and then placed fourth on Saturday. The Hillies will travel to Pentucket on Saturday morning for a quad meet.
The girls track team also had an impressive start to the year. The Hillies upset defending Merrimack Valley Conference Champion Lowell last Wednesday afternoon. Kristie Robertson won two events (high jump and 600) and Sam Wise won the 1,000 to lead the Hillies to the 48-38 win. The boys team dropped a 64-22 decision to the Red Raiders.
The boys basketball team has arguably the toughest December schedule in Massachusetts. The Hillies first four games are against teams ranked in the top 20 in the state in all major polls. The Hillies opened with Lowell, North Andover and Central Catholic last week. They will host St. John's on Thursday, Dec. 20), at 7 p.m. and Reading on Sunday, Dec. 23, at 1 p.m. The girls basketball team will host Everett on Friday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m. then will participate in the Epping Holiday Tournament Dec. 28 to 30.
The hockey team opened the season with a pair of hard-fought losses at home. The Hillies were edged 5-3 by Boston Latin then suffered a 6-2 loss to Tewksbury. They are at Concord-Carlisle this Saturday then will host the annual Haverhill Hockey Christmas Tournament Dec. 26 to 29.
The boys swimming team lost its opening meet to Central Catholic last week. The meet came down to the final relay and the Raiders came out on top 92-78. The Hillies will get a chance to avenge that loss on Jan. 25 when Central Catholic visits Haverhill. Next up for the Hillies will be a Dec. 27 meet at Southern New Hampshire University against Pinkerton Academy.

Auditorman Gets a Reboot
There are people at your work, from the C-Suite to the clerks,
And in all of the positions in between.
They think everyone's a fool; they are flaunting all the rules,
They think policies and procedures are obscene.
Where will we go? Where are the heroes?
Where are the ones to take control?
Wait! Who's this we see? Who makes the scofflaws flee?
Who won't abide excuses or loopholes?
Auditorman and COSO Boy, the duo completing all the tests.
Auditorman and COSO Boy, the pair whose findings are the best.
When efficiency is floundering or effectiveness is gone
You can know it will be better when you hear this thrilling song.
It's Auditorman. It's Auditorman.
It's Auditor Man.....And CO...SO...Boooooy!!!!
Are you one of us? Do the strains of the "Auditorman March" bring back great memories? Did you spend countless afternoons in front of your radio or television anxiously waiting for the next episode? Did you stand in line Wednesday mornings, hours before the comic book store opened, to get the latest issue? Did you die inside, just a little, when plans for the blockbuster movie got cancelled? Were you one of the legions of dedicated fans of "The Further Adventures of Auditorman and COSO Boy"?
If so, then we don't need to tell you that "The Further Adventures of Auditorman and COSO Boy" chronicled the tales of the crime fighting superheroes who battled for truth, justice, and the internal audit way. Every chance we fans got, we would watch or read or listen as they used due professional care to assess the city, identified opportunities for improvement, and relentlessly followed up to ensure action plans were appropriately executed.
And, if you are one of those fans, then there is only one question on your mind: When will we get more?
Well, we have exciting news. No longer will Auditorman be relegated to the home for outdated standards. No, after years of planning, assessing the risks, and identifying appropriate responses, Auditorman, like a repeat finding, is ready to return. Yes, he will be back fighting fraud, identifying control breakdowns, and sitting in on meetings with the rest of the GRC team.
"But," you may ask, "what of COSO Boy?" Well, time has moved on, and COSO Boy has become a COSO Man – ready for his own adventures. (Spoiler alert: We're not ready to announce anything yet, but let us just say that the final review notes have been posted regarding a potential series for COSO Man. Keep watching for those exposure drafts.)
But, one cannot expect any superhero, least of all one of Auditorman's stature, to go sidekickless. He may be independent and objective, but he knows there is no "I" in team, no "me" in department (unless you shake up the letters), and no "I'm all alone; where did everybody go" in audit shop. Toward that end, we are even more excited to announce that Auditorman will have a new sidekick. And we are asking you, the fans, to join us in the fact find and discovery of that new sidekick.
But, just like a draft report without agreement, you're going to have to wait. When we get together again, we will provide you the list of potential sidekicks, any one of which may soon be fighting at Auditorman's side. So, let us leave you by saying, join us next time – same audit timelines, same audit procedures – for the answers to these and other open-ended questions on...
The Further Adventures of Auditorman.

CHAPEL HILL — UNC's student body president will ask the Town Council on Monday to lift the four-person cap on the number of unrelated people allowed to live in a single-family house.
The council typically hears a petition like this at one meeting, then talks about it at a future meeting.
Chapel Hill's occupancy limit was set in 2003 to ease noise and traffic congestion in neighborhoods surrounding campus, where student residents have been replacing longtime families.
In February, UNC Student Body President Christy Lambden started the petition after months of research that he said showed the rule hasn't helped.
"Instead, students are being evicted from their homes in the middle of the academic year and are facing the undue burden of finding affordable replacement housing," he said. "The occupancy rule – combined with the lack of affordable off-campus housing and limited on-campus housing availability – forces students farther from campus and into even more residential communities."
The change will help Northside, Pine Knolls and other neighborhoods facing increased housing pressures, because if more students live together that leaves more houses available for families and other permanent residents, Lambden said.
Lambden said in an email that he lives in off-campus housing with three roommates.
Rick Bradley, UNC's associate director of housing and residential education, said about half the university's 18,000 undergraduate students live on campus. That does not include roughly 1,300 students who live at the UNC-owned but privately managed Granville Towers complex on West Franklin Street.
Roughly 220 on-campus beds were empty when the last fall semester count was taken, he said. Some rooms remain empty because they don't fit individual student needs, he added.
The town's biggest concern with over-occupancy is resident safety, said Matt Sullivan, the town's legal adviser and interim executive director for planning and sustainability. The town is not trying to micromanage how landlords and property owners conduct their business, he said.
"I have seen and dealt with situations where students and renters have been placed at significant risk," Sullivan said.
Local landlord Mark Patmore said he doesn't expect the petition to change local rules.
Patmore and landlord Jim Bulbrook, both of whom own rental houses in the Northside community, said student residents move people in all the time who are not on the lease. Landlords have little recourse to kick them out or make sure occupancy rules are being followed, Patmore said.
Northside is a historically black, working-class neighborhood north of West Rosemary Street, from Carrboro to Church Street in Chapel Hill.
Bulbrook and his wife, Whitney Long, were fined $63,500 last year for violating the town's occupancy rules and state building and fire codes when town inspectors found 12 girls living in a house they own on North Street closer to downtown. Sullivan said the fines have not been paid.
Bulbrook said the town is selectively enforcing the rules by only investigating if someone complains. Landlords want to follow the rules and understand they are meant to protect the neighborhood character, he said.
But neighbors also have to realize the reality of the situation, Bulbrook said.
"When you live downtown surrounded by a university, you expect students to live nearby," he said.

It has felt a lot more like spring than fall the past few days, and North Texas could be in for some springtime severe weather later today and early Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service Friday was calling for the possibility of severe thunderstorms across portions of the region, starting this afternoon, as an upper level trough progresses eastward through the Central and Southern Plains, and a Pacific cold front pushes southeastward into the area.
The storms which do appear are expected to carry the potential of damaging downburst winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes.
The best chances of severe weather in Hunt County are expected after 1 a.m. Sunday.
There may also be an increased fire danger in the area today, as winds could gust out of the south as high as 30 mph this afternoon and tonight.
Hunt County is not currently under a ban on outdoor burning, but there are rules which are in place for a controlled burn.
The burning of household trash is only permissible during daylight hours and the wind speed cannot be greater than 23 mph. Natural materials, such as brush and limbs can be burned, but not treated or painted lumber.
No prohibited material — including but not limited to: rubber, plastics, wire, insulation and furniture — can be burned, and a responsible person must be present during active burning.

This has been a hit everytime I make it. My family loves it. One mistake I made ended up being a great change to the recipe. I accidentally bought lemon pudding mix instead of vanilla and it added that extra tartness that everyone said was missing. I also made the icing while the cake was baking and put it in the fridge to firm up until the cake was cool enough to be iced. I find it is not as unstable. I also cut the water to the gelatin to 1 cup which also made a difference. This has been a big winner at summer family cookouts. I am from Houston TX and I don't think you could experience a hotter more humid summer. That being said, I make sure that I take extra care when I plan on taking it to any function in the summer months. This cake is better if made the night before and refrigerated until the next day, as it gives it time to set and firm up. If I am transporting it I use an insulated carrier (fits a 9x13 pan) I also understand they make one for layer cakes or I make sure it stays in the ice chest until ready to serve. I also improvised before by putting it in a box and wrapping it in two huge bath towels with zip lock bags of ice packed around it. This cake is definitely meant to be set out when you are ready to serve it. Some might find this as being too much effort, but I love the recipe and I don't mind taking the time.
I made this cake for Memorial Day Weekend for our family. It was great, and everyone loved it! Perfect for summer--light and refreshing. My sister-in-law requested the recipe. I used a straw to poke holes in the cake, and only used 1 cup hot water with the lemon jello to pour over the cake. Everything else I kept the same, and it turned out great!
I made this twice and got rave reviews both times. Next time however, I might try adding real lemon juice or extract instead of the gelatin to the topping. It tasted a little too artificial this last time.

TEGA CAY, S.C. -- There has been another sewage leak at the Tega Cay neighborhood on lake Wylie.
This time, a pipe broke near homes located off of Point Clear Drive.
Dirt and straw were still visible Tuesday night from where crews from Tega Cay Water Service repaired the leak.
The company blamed the leak on tree roots that cracked a pipe.
The leak is right next to the home of Emily Futhey. "It mostly backs up onto his side because he is downhill from us," she said.
Futhey was referring to the home across the street where neighbors said sewage flowed around, and in some cases, into the home.
However, it affected everyone on the narrow street.
"It is quite annoying and we have to deal with this and it is a mess," said another resident on the street, Ray Kenner.
Neighbors here have complained for years about problems and spills that threaten the pristine waters of Lake Wylie.
Neighbor Joyce Clark said, "This is sad. I think this is our fourth or fifth home spill and we've also had four into the lake."
The parent company of Tega Cay Water Service is Utilities, Inc. In a statement, company analyst Tom Oakley said, "These homes were built approximately 40 years ago and clay pipes were used, so yes, it is not uncommon to have root issues."
When these homes were built, the company says the sewer lines were all tied together and did not run individually into the main line.
The company said that kind of construction would no longer be permitted and it would now run new lines from the homes.
Just last month, sewage bubbled up from a manhole in Tega Cay and spilled down into a lake cove.
Utilities, Inc. blamed that incident on vandalism and produced a photo of what it says was a hunk of wood it believed had been intentionally placed in a a sewer.

What an awesome time we had at Parrot Hall! Parrot Hall was perfect for the family gathering we had for our daughter's wedding. We found the home clean and perfectly maintained. We were all able to have our own private well appointed spaces while enjoying group meals and family fun together around the pool! The house is a gorgeous classic home with beautiful yet functional furnishings. Each room is decorated impeccably with it's own artwork and tropical style with a Floridian flare! It is all very functional for a large group to stay or entertain. There is plenty of tableware, serving dishes and space for entertainment purposes. We were able to have a large family brunch without any difficulty. The pool has covered and uncovered patio areas which are ideal for relaxing and staying cool or sun bathing. The beach is less than a mile away and was an easy walk or very short drive. There are umbrellas to rent at the beach and the house provided plenty of beach chairs so we could all relax at the beach together. Las Olas provides all kinds of restaurants and shops to enjoy within walking distance or a short drive. One of our favorite restaurants was Luiggi's Coal Oven Pizza which is very close. Great Italian food to dine in or carry out. There so many good restaurants and pastry shops it was difficult to choose! The owners of Parrot Hall have worked hard to prepare this gorgeous home and are wonderful to work with while accommodating any of our needs. We would love to stay there again and would recommend this home to anyone!
The location is perfect, the house is beautiful and very clean, shops are walking distance. Everything you see in the pictures is what you get. David, the owner, was there at the time of our arrival to show us a tour of the home. The house is private, and the gated community is very safe and peaceful. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone, it's beautiful!
We found Sky to be exactly what we were looking for. Modern convienent and set up very well. The location was also great, close to the beach, shopping, and food. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool and BBQ area. We also found the owners to be very friendly and helpfull. They were always available and quick to answer any questions we had. I think anyone who stays at Sky will be very happy, i know my family loved it.

Daily Item
---- — Senator Casey's premise for military involvement in Syria is unbelieveable. We know about the Gulf of Tonkin, the Iraq WMDs and now the Syrian chemical attacks. No one has provided any details other than to say probably "150" died from chemical weapon use.
It is all stated in the subjunctive. No answers to who, what and how. News reports say 90,000 have died in the civil war. Blame Assad. That is easy to do? I don't like him. It is a ruse to get Americans to assume responsibility for involvement in another foreign war. There is no one to support in Syria.
The United States provides billions in military aid to "friendly" countries in the Middle East. Turkey has the 11th largest military in the world with a robust air force. Then throw in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt. They are capable of any military intervention they deem necessary. The United States must stay out of Syria.
Write to Senator and tell him no military involvement. Provide humanitarian aid only.
Joe Brzostowski,

Stores borrow from fast-food industry's playbookBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | November 22,2012AP Photo
People line up outside Toys R Us as Black Friday sales begin in Royal Palm Beach, Fla.NEW YORK This holiday season, Burger King wont be the only place where you can have it your way.
It used to be enough for stores to promise discounts of up to 70 percent off to lure shoppers during the busy holiday shopping season. But the ease of ordering online and the sluggish economy has created more demanding U.S. consumers who arent impressed by discounts alone. They want their shopping just like their fast food: not only cheap, but convenient too.
That means theyre no longer afraid to walk away from the cashmere sweater with the perfect fit if the store is crowded. Theyre also unwilling to buy those suede pumps that are just the right shade of blue if they have to pay to get them shipped. And they cringe at the prospect of carrying around a bunch of paper coupons; theyd rather be able to pull them up electronically on their smartphones.
Retailers from discounter Wal-Mart to department-store chain Macys are doing everything they can to make it easier for this new crop of finicky shoppers to spend their money during the busy holiday shopping season. Several are opening on Thanksgiving Day. Some are offering free layaways and shipping. Many are matching in-store prices with cheaper online deals. And others are allowing shoppers to buy online and pick up their merchandise in stores.
Its the latest effort by stores to court shoppers like Patty Edwards. Four years ago, Edwards, who lives in Bellevue, Wash., bought all of her holiday purchases at online retailer Amazon.com because she thought it was the easiest way to shop. But this year, she plans to shop elsewhere because there are stores are offering more shipping options.
Now Im not necessarily tied to Amazon, said Edwards, a retail analyst and principal at investment firm Trutina Financial. I can go to Nordstrom, Saks or Target and have stuff available to pick up. Its a pretty simple process. That wasnt the case four or five years ago.
The have-it-your-way approach is partly a response by merchants to their fear that shoppers will spend less freely this season over worries about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. It also comes as the growth of smartphones and tablet computers have made it easier for shoppers to browse and buy with the touch of their fingertips. No need to battle long lines at The Gap when you can just Google what you want.
That puts pressure on brick-and-mortar retailers, which count on the holiday shopping season for up to 40 percent of their annual revenue, to find ways to get shoppers into their physical stores. Thats becoming an increasingly difficult feat: The National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last years growth. Meanwhile, online sales are expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
Retailers have to do a little more to grow sales this year, said Frank Badillo, a senior economist at consultancy Kantar Retail.
This isnt the first time stores have had to up the ante. Big sales and door busters like deeply discounted TVs used to be the hallmark of the winter holiday shopping rush. But stores noticed over the last several years that Americans were cutting back on spending during the economic downturn, so they ramped up their discounting even more.
Shoppers became addicted to the ever bigger sales. And they began fleeing to online retailers, which can offer much cheaper prices than brick-and-mortar stores because they dont have the overhead costs of operating physical locations. Shoppers also began to appreciate something else about online retailers: They offer them the convenience of being able to shop within the comfort of their homes or office cubicles.
To better compete, brick-and-mortar stores figured that theyd have to replicate their online rivals formula. Shopping in stores needs to be cheap and easy, they figured. So stores began trying new ways to make shopping more convenient last year, such as free shipping and expanded hours. But this holiday season, theyve expanded the scope and scale of those incentives to include:
Expanded hours
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving Day known as Black Friday. Its typically the biggest shopping day of the year. But the Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years, with retailers such as Macys Inc. opening stores at midnight. This season, some stores have expanded their hours even more: department-store chain Sears, toy-store chain Toys R Us, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and others are opening on Thanksgiving to grab those who want to shop after their turkey dinner.
We saw a shift in how customers are shopping last year, says Ron Boire, Sears chief merchandising officer. Members told us some of them want to stay up late. Others like the idea of getting out early.
Shipping & returns
About 44 percent of retailers are offering free shipping this year, a jump from 12.5 percent last year, said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop.org, the National Retail Federations digital retail division. And package delivery company UPS, which commissioned a customer service study with research firm comScore, said retailers also are working to make returns easier, by including return labels in packages or providing a link online that customers can use to print labels out. Additionally, some stores, including consumer-electronics retailer Best Buy Co., Toys R Us and Wal-Mart, are offering customers the option of ordering online and then picking up their merchandise in stores.
Danny de Gracia, 32, a political scientist in Honolulu, Hawaii, likes to use stores buy online, pick up in store option to avoid the hassle and crowds in stores. He said it allows him to just run in and grab his purchases. Gracia, who said he plans to spend no more than $1,000 this holiday season, last used the service to buy a Sony digital camera for his father at Best Buy.
Its easier because when youre in the physical store sometimes you have to stop, ask questions and get assistance, he said. With stores that offer online shopping you can simply search the site, read up and compare options and then purchase, pick up and leave ... Its an outstanding service that I utilize whenever possible. I wish that it would be available for groceries.
Programs that allow customers to pay over a period of weeks have long been used for some holiday shoppers. But typically, shoppers have to pay a fee for these so-called layaways. This year, Wal-Mart lowered the fee it charges customers on its holiday layaway program from $15 to $5. And Sears and discount chain Kmart, both divisions of Sears Holdings Corp., ditched the fee they charge completely. The two stores previously had charged $5 for an 8-week layaway and $10 for 12 weeks.
Price matching
While small mom-and-pop stores long have offered to match the cheaper prices that customers find online, this year big merchants such as Target and Best Buy have said that they also will do that. The move is an attempt to combat the growth of so-called showrooming, when customers look at merchandise in stores but buy it cheaper online.
Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said that the online price-matching programs are an attempt by brick-and-mortar stores to keep customers. The increasing price transparency were seeing online is something brick-and-mortar stores have to deal with and deal with it directly, she said.
Shopping apps
Shopping apps for smartphones and tablets have been around for a few years, but this year retailers are beefing them up. For instance, Macys is launching a Black Friday portion of its mobile app, which highlights Black Friday specials and other deals not advertised elsewhere. It also will have maps and information about where in each store Black Friday deals can be found.
The shopping apps are an attempt by brick-and-mortar retailers to hook shoppers like Stefanie Scott, 35, in Greenfield, Wis. Scott, who plans to spend $1,000 to $2,000 on gifts this year, starts her holiday shopping ritual by first checking out deals on Facebook.
Then, she brings her smartphone along on shopping trips and uses mobile apps to get discounts once shes in the store. Shes also a fan of the buy online, pick up in store offers, and recently used one at Best Buy to buy a videogame for her brother-in-law.
Im tied to my cellphone, she says. Coupons and lists get lost in my purse. Its so much easier when Im shopping to whip out my cellphone and have them scan it. The more I can do on my iPhone Im all for it.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Target is bringing in an outsider as its CEO for the first time as the retailer fights...

Register-Herald Sports Writer
While not exactly a Cinderella team, Princeton was an improbable contestant at this year's girls basketball state tournament.
The Tigerettes were small, but they played with heart and gusto — just like their leader, Mackenzie Akers, The Register-Herald's inaugural girls basketball Player of the Year.
"We had eight seniors and we wanted to do something big before we left," Akers said. "We wanted to make a bang."
Princeton did just that, compiling a 19-6 record and upsetting George Washington 71-66 on its own floor to earn a trip to the Class AAA quarterfinals.
Akers made the Tigerettes go, averaging 25.2 points, 5 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 3 steals per game.
Coach Debbie Ball said Akers set goals for herself before the season.
"Mackenzie wanted to go upstate, to be first-team all-state, to pass 1,000 points and to break the school scoring record," Ball said. "She did that.
But not without help.
"When someone scores all those points, on some teams you would have had a lots of problems," Ball said. "But Mackenzie's teammates helped her accomplish a lot of those goals."
There was no jealousy, just plenty of effort and pride from a team whose tallest starter was 6-foot Rachel Surface. Akers is only 5-6, and second-leading scorer Marissa Mullins stands in at 5-3.
"We were a little team in Princeton playing in a hard conference (MSAC), and a lot of people didn't expect us to do as well," Akers said. "We wanted to prove people wrong and get somewhere."
She had a great role model in her sister Tesla, a former all-stater herself at Princeton and a standout the past four seasons at Ferrum College. Four years older than Mackenzie, she was recently named an honorable mention All-American.
"Tesla has helped me get to where I am. She had big shoes to follow," Mackenzie said. "She got All-American at Ferrum and that motivates me to be just as good."
She'll begin her own college career this fall at Marshall University. She considered several offers before settling on the Thundering Herd.
"I told the coach I wanted to come and I wanted to contribute," Akers recalled. "He told me how much playing time I get is up to me."
The Register-Herald sports staff — Cam Huffman (sports editor), Gary Fauber (assistant sports editor), Dan Stillwell (staff writer), J. Daniel Rollins (staff writer) and Rusty Udy (sports clerk) — voted on the award. Fan support was also considered.
Akers won with 24 votes — five more than Westside sophomore center Hope Lester.
Lester, a 6-foot center, averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game for the 25-2 Renegades, who finished runner-up at states to Bridgeport.
Nicholas County's Shealyn Shafer (20.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 5.1 steals, 3.2 assists), Greenbrier East's Bianca André (19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 blocks) and Fayetteville's Jessica Brown (22.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 5 blocks, 5 steals) were the other finalists.
Jessica Brown won the fan favorite award, receiving the most support from e-mails and Tweets.

To protect the Cape Sable thoroughwart, an endangered plant described by supporters as "a showy but dainty little herb," the federal government will protect 4,802 acres of land in the Florida Keys as critical habitat for the species.
The vast majority of the undeveloped habitat, more than 85 percent, is owned by the state or federal governments as park or conservation land.
Rules intended to safeguard the habitat of the Cape Sable thoroughwart ("Chromolaena frustrata") also apply to about 703 acres in private ownership on six Keys islands.
"The quality and quantity of the habitat will buy the plant time as the surrounding landscape changes or is lost to the sea," said Jaclyn Lopez, a Florida attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group.
The designation written by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to settle a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity becomes effective Feb. 7.
"For private landowners, it should have little effect," Fish and Wildlife spokesman Ken Warren said Tuesday.
"If you undertake a project that involves federal funding or a federal study, it possibly could affect you," Warren said. "Otherwise, it won't."
Previous critical-habitat designations in the Keys have limited flood-insurance provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but those were mostly lifted by a revised 2010 ruling.
Whether the new designation for the thoroughwart might extend to flood-insurance coverage could not be determined by FWS at press time.
Overall, the designation covers 10,968 acres in South Florida, of which 6,116 are part of Everglades National Park.
"The plant once occurred in Monroe County and along Florida Bay in Everglades National Park," according to the Center for Biological Diversity. "Now no more than a few thousand plants survive on the park's southern tip and on a handful of Keys."
The state's Division of Plant Industry, part of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, endorsed the critical-habitat designation.
A 2010 survey found the Cape Sable thoroughwart -- found nowhere in the United States outside of Monroe and Miami-Dade counties -- had "a total number of individuals less than 1,000," wrote division Director Richard Gaskalla.
The thoroughwart has "lance-shaped, aromatic leaves, and beautiful little lavender-to-blue flowers that attract bees, butterflies and birds," says the Center for Biological Diversity.
"The Cape Sable thoroughwort is a flowering perennial herb found in rockland hammocks, coastal hardwood hammocks, buttonwood forests, coastal rock barrens, and coastal berms," according to FWS. "The decline of the Cape Sable thoroughwort is primarily the result of habitat loss from commercial and residential development, sea level rise, storms, competition from nonnative plants, predation by nonnative herbivores, and wildfires."
Key Largo accounts for 3,431 of the local acres under critical-habitat protection, mostly in state parks and federal wildlife refuges. Private owners hold 457 acres of the critical habitat on Key Largo.
Big Pine Key has 94 acres of thoroughwart habitat in private ownership, and 686 acres in federal ownership.
All 28 habitat acres on Big Munson Island are privately owned.
Other islands with Cape Sable thoroughwart habitat are Upper Matecumbe Key (69 acres, 45 privately owned), Lower Matecumbe Key (44 acres, 22 private) and Long Key (151 acres, 57 private).
The state or federal government owns all designated habitat on Boca Grande and Lignumvitae Key.

Rated 5 out of 5�by brazer1 awsome for high impact best brand of sports bra ever! fits great,comfortable without smashing breasts! love back fasteners, straps adjust too! very supportive June 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by DipperB Really like this bra! This sports bra is comfortable & stays in place with great support for running. I like the hook closure as it's easier to remove. I do think the top of the back closure could be a little softer. May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by dolly This garment very comfortable to wear I purchased these sport bras because I had breast cancer. When I had my breasts implants inserted, I had to wear sport bras for a certain length of time. I found this particular sport bra was very comfortable and easy to adjust. May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jessie This is the best sports bra! So I already had one of these but I loved it so much I felt I should stock up; I bought two online from Dick's and now I feel a little more at ease. Moving Comfort bras in general are great, but this one is the best. It offers great support but it also looks fairly normal (under clothes, for not being an underwire bra). I love that it comes in cheerful colors. Also, Dick's is where I have found it for the lowest price! April 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by NAA Not happy with this product I searched online for a plus-size sports bra and came across this one with positive reviews. I ordered 2 given the facts that I found....neither of them fit --- the bra does not come true to size at all. I returned both of them. April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jan Review of Fiona Sports Bra The Fiona Sports Bra is very comfortable. Very satisfied with product. April 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by finallyskinny Size not accurate? I bought 3 Fiona's from Dicks' website; they arrived very quickly. I bought them to replace an older version Moving Comfort bra. I had been a 34DD, lost more size so am now wearing 32DD. I have loved my Moving Comfort sports bras for years, of course they discontinued the model I have been wearing. So new model bra and new size for me: This 32DD was ssoooo small, boobs mashed down, barely able to hook it together. Very disappointing, took them back to the retail store, told them about the problem, they refunded my purchase in full, apologized, suggested I contact Moving Comfort directly. I have not contacted Moving Comfort yet, but I will. Did they change their sizing? Will this same bra work ok on someone else? All the reviews for the Fiona suggest it does. Now I just have to redo the process to find a size/model that will work for me. March 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by GatorTnT This is the best bra ever made! If you are looking for the perfect sports bra, this is it! I run 5 times a week and I never run with out it! February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by belafortune Secure fit The straps adjust with velcro at the front to ensure a great fit for all women. I have several bras from this brand and they have excellent sweat-wicking and a long life. January 26, 2014

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A landmark day and a memorable march as dozens of Charlotteans retrace the steps others took 50 years ago to stand up against segregation.
It was the march that put Charlotte on the forefront of de-segregation. Both then and now, they marched from Johnson C. Smith University to the historic courthouse in uptown.
Elisha Minter is marching again.
She leads a group of a few dozen in song as they march with her.
"It's bringing back memories from when I was young and in college and fighting for freedom and the rights of African Americans and people all over," she says.
This time she walks to remind people of the journey.
"I'm very familiar with sitting in the balconies of movie theaters. I'm very familiar with not being able to do other things...we were not allowed to do it, that was the most painful thing, not being allowed to do things," she remembers.
Monday's march was meant to mark 50 years since Dr. Reginald Hawkins walked the same route, from Johnson C. Smith University to the courthouse demanding desegregation in Charlotte.
The march led to desegregation in Charlotte a year before the Civil Rights Act required it.
"I remember that time. I remember sitting at segregated counters and not being allowed to go in, and we had separate quarters and we had separate areas. Yes, I remember all those things."
Now she wants others to remember.
"It's important for our children to know we have to do these types of things in order to keep hope alive, to keep the memory alive of what our ancestors went through to get us to where we are now."

By definition, the Pac-12 remains part of the group known as the Big 6 conferences. In terms of performance on the basketball court the past few seasons, it has dropped several rungs outside of the top half-dozen.
The Pac-12 Tournament takes over Staples Center in Los Angeles starting Wednesday, and the conference appears to be headed towards receiving just two spots in the field of 68 for the NCAA Men's Championship. Washington and California enter the tourney seeded first and second respectively, but neither can safely be assumed to be a lock for the Big Dance.
The Huskies and Golden Bears, along with 3rd-seed Oregon and 4th-seed Arizona, will get a bye from Wednesday's schedule while the other eight teams lock horns. Tipping things off will be the 8/9 contest between the Washington State Cougars and Oregon State Beavers (3:00 p.m. ET).
Wazzu will be seeking a clean sweep of Oregon State after dropping the Beavers twice during the regular season. The Cougars were 1-point underdogs at home on New Year's Eve in an 81-76 victory, and 10-point 'dogs in Corvallis on Feb. 9 when they turned the tables on OSU for a 10-point upset of their own, 83-73. Both games went 'over' the total. Washington State also won and covered both meetings with the Beavers last season.
Ben Howland and the UCLA Bruins come into the tournament amid adversity from a recent scathing report about their program. The 5th-seed Bruins will take on 12th-seed Southern Cal in the 5:30 p.m. (ET) contest.
UCLA seems to be rallying around the controversy with three wins in its last four games, going a perfect 4-0 against the spread in the stretch. The Bruins took both games from the Trojans this season, with the clubs splitting vs. the number. Each game jumped the total, but the 'under' is 7-4 during the last 11 clashes.
Stanford, drawing the seventh seed for the event, matches up with the 10th-seed Arizona State Sun Devils in the day's third game (9:00 p.m. ET). The two met just once during the regular season, a 68-44 home win for the Cardinal as 14½-point chalk on Feb. 2 that extended their current streak vs. ASU to 4-0 both straight up and against the spread.
The nightcap (11:30 p.m. ET) pits 7th-seed Colorado against 11th-seed Utah, somewhat appropriate since both schools are playing in their first Pac-12 Tournament. The Buffaloes have lost three of their last four contests, but did get the better of the Utes in both regular season tilts (1-1 ATS). Colorado smoked Utah in Boulder on New Year's Eve, 73-33, and then picked up a 55-48 victory in Salt Lake City on Feb. 18. The Buffaloes have won the last four meetings with the Utes, and the last five have gone 'under.'
Big 12 Gets Underway In Kansas City
While the Pac-12 is likely to get just two of its dozen teams into the NCAA Tournament, the Big 12 could see as many as six of its 10 schools be part of the festivities. Presumably, those six would be the half-dozen that earned byes in the opening round of the tourney that starts Wednesday at Kansas City's Sprint Center.
Kansas, up to third in both of the latest polls, leads the way with the top seed in the Big 12, followed by Missouri, Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas State and Texas. The Longhorns are sitting firmly on the bubble, if it's indeed possible to sit firmly on a bubble, and may need a victory on Thursday over the Cyclones, who have been one of the bigger surprises in college basketball this season. Baylor, somewhat of a disappointment down the stretch, will play Kansas State in another Thursday matchup.
The Jayhawks will await the winner of Wednesday's contest between 8th-seed Oklahoma and 9th-seed Texas A&M (7:00 p.m. ET), while the Tigers will draw the winner of 7th seed Oklahoma State and 10th-seed Texas Tech (9:30 p.m. ET).
Texas A&M is quite possibly the biggest bust on the campaign after beginning the year ranked just inside the top 20 of both preseason polls. The Aggies begin the tournament on a 5-game skid, and losers of nine of their last 10. Their game with Oklahoma is a rematch of a contest played just this past weekend in Norman, a 65-62 Sooners victory that closed OU -6. Texas A&M won the Jan. 21 matchup in College Station, 81-75 in overtime, as 3½-point home chalk.
Oklahoma State lost five of its final seven games, but will be taking on a Texas Tech squad that managed just one victory in 18 conference battles. The Cowboys took both regular season affairs, failing to cover as 10½-point home favorites on Jan. 4 before an easy 80-63 triumph in Lubbock 27 days later as 3½-point road chalk.

Sanders warns about 'chained' Consumer Price IndexJanuary 31,2013By EDWARD DONGA
WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernard Sanders on Thursday spoke out against a plan aimed at reducing the federal deficit by changing the manner in which Social Security benefits are calculated.
Sanders, an independent and founder of the Senate's Defend Social Security Caucus, was joined at a Capitol Hill news conference by Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., as well as AFL-CIO President
Richard Trumka and representatives of advocacy groups for senior citizens, women, veterans and those with disabilities..
The news conference targeted a proposal to alter how the federal Consumer Price Index is calculated. The CPI is a measurement of the average change in cost of household items, and it is used to help create cost-of-living estimates that govern benefit increases for programs such as Social Security.
But Sanders noted that some members of Congress, in an effort to reduce the federal deficit, want to adopt what has become known as a chained CPI. According to published reports, this plan was pushed, but ultimately dropped, by some Republicans during discussions last month on ways to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.
Declared Sanders, "My Republican colleagues in Congress and some Democrats are attempting to use the deficit crisis as an excuse to cut Social Security benefits. That is wrong."
He added: "Deficit reduction is important, but it must be done in a way that is fair. We must not balance the budget on the backs of the elderly, on the backs of veterans."
Rather than simply adjusting the cost of living based on changes in the price of basic goods, as is done currently, a chained CPI would factor in the assumption that, as the price of one good increases, consumers will purchase a similar, less expensive commodity instead.
For instance, when the price of apples goes up, the current CPI accounts for the change only in the price of apples; a chained CPI would factor in an assumption that many consumers would buy oranges instead of apples if the former were less expensive.
But Sanders warned that if the government begins basing its calculations on a chained CPI, senior citizens would see a significant cut in their Social Security benefits. Veterans with disability benefits would face the same problem, said Sanders, who is chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
"The chained CPI for seniors who are 65 today, by the time they are 75 years of age they would lose $650 a year (in benefits)," Sander said, noting that Thursday marked the 73rd anniversary of Ida May Fuller, of Ludlow, receiving the first Social Security check ever issued.
Nancy LeaMond, executive vice president of AARP, echoed Sanders' statement.
"It has been put forward as a relatively easy, relatively harmless solution to reduce the deficit," LeaMond said of the chained CPI proposal. "However, this policy would have very negative effects on millions of seniors, retirees, working families, women, veterans and the seniors."
Sanders said 3.2 million disabled veterans in the United States would also see their benefits affected, contending that veterans who started collecting disability benefits at age 30 would see a $1,400 decrease in those benefits by age 45.
"This is unacceptable, and if you support a chained CPI you support breaking your promise that this country made to every single one of those veterans," declared Tom Tarantino, policy chief for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: A brief midsummer return of last winter's stubborn cold air mass descends over the Northern Plains, Midwest and Northeast this week bringing colder than seasonable daytime temperatures. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being totally ineffective and 10 being perfect, how would you rate Mitt Romney's campaign since winning the nomination?
Average: 4.1
1-3: 42%
4-6: 51%
7-10: 7%
"I feel like Obama must have a sleeper agent inside the Romney operation—otherwise, there is campaign malpractice afoot."
"He's not in the John McCain, Bob Dole, Mike Dukakis class yet, but he's moving in that direction."
"He has allowed himself to get defined in the worst light possible—as a superrich outsourcer."
"Now I understand why this campaign had such a difficult time winning against the likes of Santorum, Gingrich, and Cain."
"Gaffe, Bain, Repeat. Gaffe, Tax Return, Repeat. Gaffe, Bain, Repeat."
"There has been a striking inability to respond to issues that the campaign should have vetted long ago."
"The problem is the candidate—and no staff can fix that."
"Did a good job of shutting up crazy Republican opponents, but is getting dominated in daily news cycles by the Obama machine."
"Romney needs a new motto: 'Always attack, never defend.' "
"How in the hell did they let Romney's status at Bain in 1999 become more important than 8.2 percent unemployment?"
"Better than expected. The contentious primaries foretold a long season of difficulty in stitching the party together; there is more pro-Romney energy and enthusiasm from the Right than expected, and his focus on Obama has been relentless."
"He is not a great campaigner. He has trouble connecting with 'real people.' But he has a solid operation and is not making a lot of mistakes."
"A lot of it is less about him than it is about GOP mega-donors willing to spend whatever it takes to finish their takeover of the federal government."
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being totally ineffective and 10 being perfect, how would you rate Mitt Romney's campaign since winning the nomination?
Average: 5.9
1-3: 13%
4-6: 40%
7-10: 47%
"A strategy of duck and cover will not carry the day. We have made the sale that we should fire the incumbent, but we have to transition into a message of why it is OK to put our guy in the Oval Office."
"Need to go back to Messaging 101 in campaign school."
"He's playing to not lose, which is different from playing to win."
"Swiss bank accounts and hidden tax returns. Really?"
"They've hung in against an incumbent president, but they need a more compelling alternative vision for the country, and they keep getting caught on eminently predictable obstacles like releasing taxes."
"A couple unforced errors, but overall a crisp and tight operation. Haven't got the big message that connects yet, but a convention and the post-Labor Day period await, and he'll have all the money he needs."
"Team Mittens is playing a gentlemen's tennis game while Obama
is playing rugby."
"Hey, Romney critics, our guy is out-raising the incumbent and holding him under 50 percent in nearly every swing state. What
more could you hope for?"
"Great job uniting the party and raising money—now let's put Bain to bed."
"Had a few good weeks, but how they bungled Bain story with an opponent who has never created a job in his life is beyond me."
"Mitt needs to make his campaign as strong as he is. Right now, the campaign is lagging behind the candidate's abilities."
"You don't get to be president by winning July."
Is attacking Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital an effective tactic for Democrats?
Highly effective: 79%
Somewhat effective: 19%
Not effective: 2%
Highly effective
"Great summertime strategy. Rough him up, keep the campaign off balance, start bipartisan pundit-class carping; all the while, knowing there is a lot more to the campaign than this flap."
"Especially if coupled with his missing tax returns, which is really going to be his downfall."
"Team Obama ignored the East Coast bed wetters and the superrich-donor whining and ran with Bain in the battleground states, and it is working."
"Just look at the narrative. Instead of talking about weak June jobs report, the media and voters are focused on Bain, Swiss bank accounts, and Romney not releasing his tax returns. Remarkable."
"Straight from the Rove '04 playbook, the Bain attack goes after Romney's perceived strength, undermining the central rationale for his candidacy. The Romney campaign's inept response has made it all the more devastating."
"It is a terrible time to be running as an oligarch."
"What else does Obama have other than attacking Romney?"
Somewhat effective
"It's good for the base, but does it move independents?"
"It puts Romney on defense, and takes the conversation away from the economy, but I just don't think most Americans are paying very much attention to any of this stuff right now, anyway. Romney is certainly acting like they're not!"
"It's helpful in some states, but only goes so far. Obama needs to reopen its earlier attacks on his record as governor."
Is attacking Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital an effective tactic for Democrats?
Highly effective: 22%
Somewhat effective: 67%
Not effective: 12%
Highly effective
"It's effective only because the Romney campaign has been so bad at responding."
"Romney's nom de guerre is as a business exec. If he flubbed that up (even slightly), makes him look more like a Fred Thompson and less like a Reagan."
"The message is not particularly effective, but the fact that Romney seems totally incapable of responding is. Didn't they know this was coming since about 1994?"
"Not substantively but politically, since it is a wide opening for Obama to define an as-yet-to-be-defined candidate. Seriously folks, release the tax returns and get on with it."
Somewhat effective
"It's effective, only because the Romney campaign is allowing it to be. Romney cannot run from Bain, yet that's what the Obama campaign has got him doing."
"If the election is about Bain, Obama wins. If it is about the economy, Romney wins. Very simple."
"It beats anything else that might be talked about, but anyone moved by attacks on his business career are unlikely to vote Republican anyway."
"The Bain attacks are sticking, but it is part of a larger narrative that is on the verge of defining him as an out-of-touch rich guy who doesn't understand the problems middle-class families are facing. At the same time, Obama is doubling down on a strategy that will likely end in him being perceived as hostile to business."
Not effective
"In the end, the election will be a referendum on Obama and the economy—not on Romney's private-sector record."
"Big investment by Chicago has not moved numbers in polls. 'Liar' and 'felon' are offensive words to independent voters."
