While a significantly lower number of people (according to a WJLA report) are expected to visit Washington, DC, for President Obama's second inauguration on Jan. 21, hundreds of local residents have offered their houses, apartments and condos for rent, with some rentals priced as high as $10,000 for a rental starting Friday, Jan. 18, and ending Tuesday, Jan. 22.
Craigslist featured more than 100 inauguration listings on Thursday morning, Jan. 10. The listings were found by searching for the term "inauguration" under the "apts/housing for rent" section.
One Capitol Hill resident is seeking $10,000 for a three-bedroom, two-full bath, fully-furnished 1,500-square-foot town home, with payment by cashier's check required upfront.
By comparison, a seven-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot "luxurious mansion" on Keamy Street in Northeast Washington, DC, seems like a bargain at $6,500. This listing includes a gourmet kitchen, new deck, on-site parking and fireplace, and welcomes cats and dogs.
In Maryland, an Eastern Shore couple hopes to rent a master bedroom for the week surrounding the inauguration for $3,500. The price includes full use of the kitchen, gas fireplace, cable TV, wi-fi, complimentary continental breakfast with use of a Keurig coffee machine and turn-down service.
A listing in North Bethesda offers a one-bedroom apartment just three minutes from the White Flint Metro station for $1,200 for a four-day stay. Amenities include a queen-size bed, bathtub and kitchen.
On the Airbnb website, dozens of listings offer inauguration rentals as well.
A rowhouse in Columbia Heights boasts three bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms and a few amenities for only $2,038 per night.
You could also try an 1890s stone townhouse with a "Democratic soul," conveniently located on Lincoln Park and which sleeps six for $8,000 for a four-night rental with a $1,000 security/damage deposit.
Tell us: What would you charge to rent out your home or apartment for the 2013 inauguration?

Hi, wonderful pilots. I have a lovely young Weimeraner girl who needs to get from the Columbus, Ohio area (43026) to Hamden, Ct (06518) on Sunday, November 1. Claire is 53 pounds, UTD on vaccinations, spayed, and a very sweet young lady. She is going from a shelter to her forever home. She may also have a 40# Brittany friend traveling with her, although if you can only take one dog, Claire would be the one most needing the ride.
Claire will be traveling by car from Kansas City to Ohio on Saturday, 10/31. She will overnight in Hilliard, Ohio, then needs help getting on to CT. If you can help, please let me know!
Either way, thanks for all you do!!

How To Clean and De-Fog Bathroom Mirrors, Toxin-Free
Home Hacks
We often sing the praises of vinegar as a non-toxic household cleaner here at Apartment Therapy. In this how-to we use it once again for cleaning plus one: as an anti-fog solution on bathroom mirrors.
What You NeedMaterials
quart of room-temperature water with 2 tbsp vinegar, in a bowl
quart of hot water with 2 tbsp vinegar, in a second bowl
two lint-free cleaning cloths
1. Clean the mirror with the room temperature mixture. Dip one of the cloths into the bowl, squeeze excess, and wipe over mirror surface.
2. Dry thoroughly with dry cloth until streak-free. If you just want to wash your mirror, you're done.
3. For an anti-fog treatment, now dip a cloth into the bowl of hot water mixture. Wring out excess.
4. Wipe over the area of mirror you want defogged. We just do this from shoulder height up to face height.
5. Let it dry - don't wipe with a cloth or you'll wipe away your homemade "defogger".
6. Repeat as part of your regular cleaning regimen. The anti-fog effect isn't permanent, but should last a couple of weeks.
Additional Notes: Be sure to clean the mirror before applying the anti-fog hot water and vinegar. We did the cleaning with a vinegar mixture, but that isn't necessary for this to work. You could clean your mirrors with another cleaning product then follow up with the hot water mixture afterward.

You can also keep your mirror fog-free by applying shaving cream -- any kind to the mirror. Wipe on -- wipe off. I usually load a dab on the tip of my fingers and rub it on, I wipe it off with a clean, lint-free cloth.
yep, I second that --- saving cream, I just reapplied it to the mirror yesterday. Just remember to use a tiny bit.
You don't need any product, toxic or not ;-)
Try to use just a newspaper and a water dispenser spray. It works!

You've mastered making monsters. You have a good grip on traps. You can even write lengthy skill challenges when you should have been doing your homework. But can you challenge players where it really hurts? Can you challenge their ... characters?
The Dungeons & Dragons rules typically concern themselves with action resolution. When a battle occurs (and it will) or when skills are challenged, we have rules to determine success. As many veteran Dungeon Masters will tell you, challenging characters in different ways—in story ways—is what really elevates a game from a series of brawls to something memorable. This month, we look at some tricks and tactics to help you present your players with a challenging story that calls on them to make meaningful decisions beyond whom to stab next.

Recipe by KRYM
"This was a popular carrot, celery, green pepper, and onion salad my Mom used to make in the summer and for picnics."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
carrots, sliced
1 stalk
celery, chopped
green bell pepper, chopped
onion, chopped
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed tomato soup
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
distilled white vinegar
2/3 cup
white sugar
I enjoyed this recipe as a starter/build on recipe. However, the next time I prepare it, as a matter of personal preference I would only cook the carrots a couple of minutes or not at all. For my taste the marinade was a little too sweet, I would cut the sugar or increase the vinegar. Also, I felt that a splash of worcestire and prepared mustard would have jazzed this recipe up. I enjoy things zesty and spicy so I would throw in some pepper flakes and garlic. The recipe said to chop, which to me indicates smaller pieces. The next time I will cut the peppers, onions, and celery, it will be a little closer to bite size, to equal the carrots. I might try this recipe again with some modifications.

I've made this recipe several times with a few modifications. Basically, I'm using it for the dressing part of the recipe -- I do not modify that part. For the veggies, I usually use carrots, green beans, sliced beets, and sliced onions. If I'm in a rush, I'll use (gasp!) canned carrots and green beans. Reminds me of a salad I've gotten at a German restaraunt. Very nice with German food since I don't care for the typical sauerkraut. Great recipe!
Yummy! We love to have this salad in the fridge all summer long. One way I like to serve this is as a topping/dressing over a green salad. Topped w/ crumbled bacon makes it really excellent. I've started cutting back on the oil and never really noticed a difference. I use about 1/4C. of oil and 1/3C. vinegar. Also I switched the sugar to Splenda and decreased that to 1/3C. Love this salad!
My husband loves carrots. I decided to make him copper penny, he had never tasted it. when I made this recipe I cut the sugar (Splenda) and the oil in half. It made a thicker dressing that clings to the carrots. A big hit with Hubby!
I had this salad at my mom's home over
Christmas and it was excellent. It was
easy to prepare and very tasty. I
substituted some home grown green onions
for the onion called for in the recipe.
I think that the addition of the green
onion made the recipe even more tasty.
This is a recipe my mother used to make, and it's like home food to me. However, my son & husband do not care for it as much as I do - because of the texture of the cooked carrots. I probably won't make it again for that reason.
I love the taste of this. I use 3 pounds of carrots and omit the peppers (not a huge fan of peppers). People always comment on how good this tastes.

Morgan Brennan, Forbes Staff
I write about real estate markets, outrageous homes and cities.
Well, struggling homeowners, that long-anticipated mortgage relief plan President Obama has been alluding to has finally been reached. Today the Department of Justice announced that its 16 month-long investigation into bank-related foreclosure abuses, following the robo-signing debacle of fall 2010, has culminated in a $25 billion mortgage relief plan aimed at helping homeowners.
The largest joint federal-state settlement ever, the deal was struck between the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 49 state attorneys general, and the country's five largest mortgage loan servicers: Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JP Morgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo & Company and Ally Financial Inc.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement released by the DOJ today:
"It holds mortgage servicers accountable for abusive practices and requires them to commit more than $20 billion towards financial relief for consumers. As a result, struggling homeowners throughout the country will benefit from reduced principals and refinancing of their loans. The agreement also requires substantial changes in how servicers do business, which will help to ensure the abuses of the past are not repeated."
It sounds very exciting. And indeed, as my colleague Deborah Jacobs outlines in her article, "What The Mortgage Relief Plan Would Do For Homeowners," the settlement promises to aid underwater homeowners who are behind on payments in getting their principal balances negotiated down; to enable homeowners who are not behind to get refinanced on their mortgages; and to award former homeowners who were improperly foreclosed upon between 2008 and 2011 one-time restitution payments of about $1,500 to $2,000. (More on this here: "Why Homeowners Can't Bank On The Mortgage Relief Plan.")
About 1.8 million homeowners are reportedly expected to benefit from this settlement, most notably in foreclosure-riddled states like California and Florida. California, one of the last states to sign onto the settlement, will reap a huge chunk of the settlement money: up to $18 billion. As my colleague Steve Schaefer reports, the banks must offer at least $12 billion in principal reductions or short sale offers just to California homeowners that are either behind on their underwater mortgages or, as the State of California Department of Justice notes, "almost behind in their payments."
Foreclosure has become a common term in the past several years as millions of American homeowners have faced the process since the housing bubble burst. More than three million homes have been fully foreclosed upon since 2007. In 2011 alone, nearly 1.9 million homes had one or more foreclosure filings attached to them, according to RealtyTrac. CoreLogic estimates that nearly 11 million homeowners are "underwater" on their mortgages, or paying off loans that are worth more than the value of their homes.
Looking at these numbers, a $25 billion settlement that reaches only two million homeowners, despite the fact that this deal is the largest of its kind ever, seems likely to fall short of reaching all of the homeowners in need. So how will the foreclosure settlement actually affect the housing market as a whole?
How This Will Affect The Foreclosure Process
The mortgage settlement is another wealth transfer by fiat. The government forced the bad loans to be made. All of these people knew or should have known what they were getting into. It is unconstitutional as we do not have equal treatment under the law. This is simply Obama buying votes at the expense of taxpayers and shareholders. This will do nothing to help the existing housing market at all. Probably will make it worse as the money has to come from somewhere.
How can they even consider giving the banks the money or power over who gets the modifications? Who will be overseeing this so the banks don't run off with the money, again? There needs to be a non-biased 3rd Party that makes the decision who deserves the payout. So, if you don't have a loan through one of the top 5 banks you're S.O.L. That is completely unfair to use government funds to help out a select few, while others in the same or worse position are overlooked. "Seriously underwater, meaning they owe at least 25% more on their mortgage than their property is worth". I wish I was only 25% upside down in my home(you would have to multiply my current value by 310% to equal my loan amount), this number needs to be rethought. Try starting with the worst off homeowners and working backward, putting more people on the same level.
Morgan, yes this is a drop in the bucket for sure, but it is about time we try to look at solutions that make progress instead of the silver bullet to end all issues.
This is far short of what is needed, but it is good to see lenders at least take a 'trim' though a real haircut is needed while homeowners have been getting a buzz cut during this crisis.
It is ironic that they keep focusing on homeowners who are current. This fails to recognize that many who see legitimate Short Sales are told they do not qualify because they are NOT yet in default. This of course may create a default in order for people to get relief.
Short Sales remain the best way to eliminate the costs associated with foreclosures and underwriting the short sale losses may be the most efficient use of capital to stabilize housing.
Lastly, you noted that foreclosures sell at 30% discounts off market price on average. It is very interesting that the government mentioned recently some plans to sell "bundles" to institutional investors at around 30% of principal (a 70% discount!) or was that a plan to sell to 'donors'?
If they think they can afford that, why not invest some of 'that capital' to keep people in their homes?
That is an excellent question Morgan! It seems like vast amount of money, however then when you look at the magnitude of the problem it is not enough to scratch the surface. What is a family that has lost a home going to do with a $1,500 –to- $2,000 settlement, that is not very much money.
Everything that is being said and done by the government is just too late and short of any real solution to impact anything of significance.
There seems to be a need for a real bold solution. A dam to stop the foreclosure crisis river. Creating a platform where there is a new marketplace, removed from the distortions that have been superficially created to manipulate the real estate market.
If investors are to buy the REO's as well as the upcoming shadow inventory, they can set the new market in place by allowing the free market economy laws to self balance. This can be achieved by rehabbing, re utilizing and leasing these homes to the same families at a new fair market price. As a result solving several issues, reducing the inventory, balancing the values and stabilizing the neighborhood. Not to mention the positive side effects such as job creation, construction, sales and consumer spending.
We are offering solutions to these and other questions at www.usadvancedstructures.com
I,m sorry,but how long do we underwater home owners have to wait until we get a letter from the lender? to finally reslove this issue.
Am I getting the details right? If you say banks have 3 years to comply with the terms of this deal, and that this foreclosure settlement will finally usher the bottoming of the housing market, then we're looking at 2015 before I will see any relief in the downward trend of my property? What happens after the banks have "adjusted" the principal and loans of those who are currently underwater when the housing market goes down in the next 3 years? Wouldn't they be back to being underwater???
Within the next 24 months we will face an explosion of bank owned properties to hit the market place. Banks settled, they will help who they can, and the rest will continue to be foreclosed on. What this means is the banks have a green light to re-start business (i.e. release the shadow inventory). In my book REO BOOM, i talk about how investors are picking up these bank owned repo's for pennies on the dollar by using the REO fix-to-flip rule but also the process behind the foreclosures such as the 6 steps of the REO cycle. In the short-term things will get worse but eventually the markets will correct. One more thing, if the principal reductions are not at market value then homeowners will not be incentivized to keep their properties as they can not pay the mortgage, live in their homes for 1-2 years, then buy someone else's bank repo for half the costs.
This is the same old game of smoke and mirrors. Instead of truly helping distressed homeowners in regards to those needing to short sale their properties, the banks are performing an elaborate dance regarding the negotiations to show the government they are trying, however, the end result is worse than before this settlement. What should have been included with this settlement were the guidelines the banks had to adhere to with regards to short sale. Prior to the settlement, the numbers were crunched by the banks to ensure that the formula of 20% plus or minus the current value of the home was met by the purchase offer net. This enabled a short sale to close, benefitting not only the homeowner that received relief from this monkey on their backs, but also the banks that were able to rid themselves of this toxic asset on their books and move forward. Since the settlement, however, the banks are using inflated BPO's (broker opinions – which of course they will provide no proof of) to counter purchasers with prices that they cannot accept since they would never be able to get financed for them. Even with bona fide proof of value based on full appraisals of the property, the banks are insisting their inflated values are correct (even though they are based on "soft" broker opinions – when did broker opinions trump appraisers???)and are holding firm on their counters. I believe that the banks have their attorneys working on appealing the penalties 3 years from now, using the argument that the banks tried but were not successful in their attempts. Currently the banks are tripping over their own paperwork and are taking the borrowers down when they fall.
An example of how the banks still are exhibiting careless behaviour in regards to foreclosure is as follows: A property in Canton Michigan was negotiated as a short sale, but only in regards to the 2nd lien with Huntington Bank (who by the way was one of the most gracious banks to work with). The 1st lien holder, Wells Fargo is to be paid in full (principal, interest, late charges and penalties – the whole chebang!) when the sale closes at the end of May. Although apprised of their full payoff since May 10th along with the request of suspension of the impending foreclosure sale (Michigan has redemption rights), which was scheduled 6 days before the actual closing date, Wells Fargo refused to suspend, thus incurring additional attorneys fees to be added to their payoff.
It's not getting better, it's getting worse. Until the banks are given the rules to follow, they will continue to make up their own and change them on a whim.

New Brewpub Coming!
The owners (Theresa pictured here, Tim on floor working) of Cafe Karibo on Third Street will be opening a new attached brewpub in January. They've taken over the recently vacated space next door for the venture and it looks like it will be great. They'll be offering five varieties of home brewed beer (tanks pictured here) along with burgers and other vittles that go well with beer. Called "Cafe Karibrew, (Brewpub and Grub)," it will be open for lunch and dinner several days a week, ultimately seven. It's nice to see some folks making continued investment in the community during difficult economic times. Until the pub opens - and even after - we highly recommend Cafe Karibo.

|UNCW Swimming & Diving Adds Two Divers
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW men's swimming and diving program has announced the additions of divers Allen Crosby and Giovanni Villanueva for the 2013-14 season.
"We're very pleased to have both of these talented young men join our program," said Head Coach Dave Allen, who recently guided the men's program to its 12th consecutive Colonial Athletic Association title. "Getting two quality student-athletes like Allen and Giovanni will make our entire swimming and diving program stronger.
Crosby (Matthews, N.C./Charlotte Christian School) is an in-state product that has excelled on both the AAU and national stages. He was the AAU national champion in both the one and three-meter dives and was a finalist at the 2012 USA Diving Age Group National Championships, placing sixth on the three-meter board.
Crosby has reached the finals of the USA Diving Spring Regionals, Summer Regionals and Summer Zone meets on both the one and three-meter boards multiple times, reaching the finals each year since 2009. In the 2009 East National Championships, Crosby finished seventh on the three-meter.
Villanueva (Orlando, Fla./Freedom H.S.) comes to UNCW after earning Florida High School Athletics Association All-State honors four times during his prep career. He finished second at the FHSAA State Championships this past year.
In 2013, Villanueva was a finalist in the one-meter diving event at the All-Star Challenge. As a junior in 2012, he was a Summer Regional and Summer Zone B finalist in the one and three-meter events and competed in the USA Diving Age Group National Championships in the one-meter.
Villanueva also reached the finals of the 2012 YMCA National Championships and placed ninth on both the one and three-meter boards.
"Allen and Giovanni bring much-needed depth to the diving end of the pool," said UNCW diving coach Beau Bunn. "Their addition will put us right up there with some of the best divers we have ever had. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to work with both of them."

SALISBURY — The 64-year-old woman who drowned in the Merrimack River on Sunday night has been identified as Diane Symmes of Andrews Lane in Amesbury.
Symmes' body was discovered late Sunday inside Ring's Island Marina, hours after she was reported missing from nearby Cove Marina. The U.S. Coast Guard and Salisbury police, and the Salisbury harbormaster responded to the area for a search-and-rescue mission, after receiving a call that a woman had entered the water and was missing. The search area extended from the town pier to Cove Marina. Volunteers and police officers with flashlights assisted in the search, as well.
Cove Marina is located on the riverbank opposite Newburyport's Cashman Park.
The Merrimack River has claimed two other lives in recent months. In May, Newburyport police recovered the body of a German national who had been reported missing last November after falling out of the dingy he was piloting to retrieve his dog tied up near Cashman Park, in the same general area of the river where Sunday's drowning occurred.
In June 2011, 29-year-old Derrick Lee's body was found two days after he was believed to have slipped off the 20-foot cabin cruiser he had been living in, moored at the Ring's Island Marina.

Cash, a free place to stay and Allman Brothers tickets are just a few of the proposed swaps offered online by people scrambling to get into INVESCO Field to hear Barack Obama's big acceptance speech tonight.
Offers advertised on craigslist.org ranged from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for tickets.
"Hi There. I'm a card-carrying Democrat looking for 2 tickets to see an amazing moment in history tonight, willing to pay you in cash for your tickets," one poster wrote.
But another ad-writer was put off by the dealmaking: "Pretty disgusting of people to sell FREE tickets to make $$ for themselves - have a heart and get a backbone."

The Chickasha City Council voted Monday to hold a public auction to lease more mineral rights around Lake Chickasha on Oct. 21.
Chickasha Mayor Hank Ross said Chickasha has already leased the mineral rights to a vast majority of a 4,000 acre piece of land near Chickasha Lake. He said the area is going to be used for oil exploration and should the lease holders strike oil or gas, the City of Chickasha would receive 3/16 of the revenue.
This new section of land the City of Chickasha is going to auction off in two weeks time is an 80-acre tract.
Ross said the city doesn't know who will end up leasing the land, but he said that a bunch of land man companies will bid in two weeks for the acreage.

Troubleshooting Database Access
- Only currently enrolled students and current faculty and staff can access the databases from off campus. Student information is added at the beginning of each semester, if you registered late, you may have to wait a day or two to access the databases.
- Are you using the correct login and password? Students: Your ID is your nine-digit Student Identification number, which is printed on the back of your student ID card and can be found under the "Account Status" link in Campus Connect. Your PIN is your 8-digit birth date; example: If your birth date is February 9, 1973, then you would type in 02091973. Faculty/Staff: Your ID will be your first initial and last name all in lower case. The PIN for faculty and staff is your Employee ID number, which can be found under "Faculty and Staff" in the PTC Portal.
If Ezproxy accepts your user ID and PIN, but you still can not get any further, refer to the suggestions below. All configurations are for the most common browsers and for Windows computers.
Blackboard Issues
- If you are having problems accessing a database from a link within Blackboard, try this: go to the library's homepage; click "Databases A to Z"; then select the appropriate database from the alphabetical list.
Firewall Issues
- From work, you might check with your IT staff. Most places of employment have firewalls or other security features, which prevent access to our databases.
- From home, do you have firewall software, such as Norton Internet Security, Norton Personal Firewall, or Symantec Desktop Firewall, on your personal computer? Such software can prevent access to our databases. You will need to consult your software manual and/or contact their technical support for help in changing settings or disabling your software so that you can access our proxy server.
Browser Issues
PDF Issues
- Adobe Reader - Many articles in the library's databases are in PDF format. If a PDF full text article will not display, you may need to download an updated version of Adobe Reader. Download the latest version from the Adobe Reader website.
- When you open a PDF article, if you get a pop-up message, always allow Adobe Reader to open the file and/or accept Adobe's terms and conditions.
If, after following these steps, you are not able to connect to the databases call the Library at (501) 812-2272, (501) 812-2218, or (501) 812-2274. If it is after hours, Ask a Librarian.

The Firm (1991)
by John Grisham
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
God Bless Wikipedia.
I made it to Chapter 29 and I was just, like, "I know how this is going to end. This asswipe ..." So I looked on Wikipedia to see how the book ended and sure enough!! Just as I suspected!
I *hate* Mitch. I mean, really hate Mitch. I stopped reading because the book doesn't end with him have cement boots made and being tossed into the river in Chicago -- that would have been a fantastic ending! I really hate Mitch.
Aside from Mitch, may I call him Mitch?, reading this book today -- 2014 -- is like reading a comedy. It is freakin' hilarious! Mitch's student loans amounted to $24,000 ... that's what 1 semester cost me! And he went to Harvard! He sold his life away for $24,000! And a Colonial Cottage! With carport! There's also an abundance of chain smoking, everywhere, and drinking and driving. The drinking and driving I found really comical. Is drunk driving a new thing? I can't remember ...
Regardless. SO GLAD I don't have to read anymore of this godforsaken book!
Great fast read lots of twists and turns. Exciting ending.
SUMMARY: At the top of his class at Harvard Law, he had his choice of the best in America. He made a deadly mistake. When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & Locke of Memphis, he thought he �and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way.  The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school  loans, arranged a mortgage and hired him a  decorator. Mitch McDeere should have remembered what his  brother Ray -- doing fifteen years in a Tennessee  jail -- already knew. You never get nothing for  nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch's  firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a  rock and a hard place, with no choice -- if he  wants to live.From the Hardcover edition.
This was my first Grisham, and I fell in love. At the time it was the best suspense book ever for me.
This one was my second Grisham, the first being The Chamber and both being Legal thrillers by the same author, I can't help, but draw parallels and contrasts between the two books. The plot for The Firm was more shocking and incredible, and the book read more like an Ian Fleming novel. While The Chamber had a young lawyer trying to save his grandfather, the scale of this story was grand.
Now a similarity between the two books, and I am afraid it isn't flattering - despite the fact that both books are totally centred on the main character at the expense of sacrificing the other characters, the characters lack the ability to draw you in, to get you emotionally attached, vested, to the fate of the character and the story. They are very impersonal with superficial emotions, you know how they think, but not how they feel.
A decent read all things considered and I wouldn't mind reading some more Grisham in future.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 044021145X, Mass Market Paperback)Hard to believe, but there was a time when the word "lawyer" wasn't synonymous with "criminal," and the idea of a law firm controlled by the Mafia was an outlandish proposition. This intelligent, ensnaring story came out of nowhere--Oxford, Mississippi, where Grisham was a small-town lawyer--and quickly catapulted to the top of the bestseller list, with good reason. Mitch McDeere, the appealing hero, is a poor kid whose only assets are a first-class mind, a Harvard law degree, and a beautiful, loving wife. When a Memphis law firm makes him an offer he really can't refuse, he trades his old Nissan for a new BMW, his cramped apartment for a house in the best part of town, and puts in long hours finding tax shelters for Texans who'd rather pay a lawyer than the IRS. Nothing criminal about that. He'd be set for life, if only associates at the firm didn't have a funny habit of dying, and the FBI wasn't trying to get Mitch to turn his colleagues in. The tempo and pacing are brilliant, the thrills keep coming, and the finish has a wonderful ironic flourish. It's not hard to see why Grisham changed the genre permanently with this one, and few of his colleagues in a very crowded field come close to equaling him. --Jane Adams

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. government expects to borrow $331 billion in the January-March quarter, $11 billion less than previously forecast, the Treasury Department said Monday. In October, Treasury projected borrowing of $342 billion during January-March. Treasury assumes an end-of-March cash balance of $30 billion. The decrease is due to a higher beginning-of-quarter cash balance, Treasury said. In the October-December quarter, Treasury issued $297 billion in net marketable debt and ended with a cash balance of $93 billion. For the April-June quarter, Treasury projects borrowing of $103 billion with a cash balance of $60 billion.

The Daily Star
---- — An effort to establish a sports tourism commission for the greater Oneonta area is continuing despite its failure, thus far, to obtain public funding.
"The whole idea is to draw out-of-market participants into the community to play in high-quality events and, obviously, to spend their money here," said Albert Colone, a driving force behind the initiative to create the commission.
The commission proposal is an outgrowth of a larger ad hoc group, the Greater Oneonta Economic Development Council – or GO-EDC – which came together in the autumn of 2011 in an attempt to act on members' dissatisfaction about the direction in which Oneonta was going.
The members of the informal group, composed of community leaders and representatives from businesses, such as lodging, that would benefit from marketing outside the region, met Jan. 16 at the Boys and Girls Club in Oneonta.
Among those attending, according to minutes provided to The Daily Star by Colone were Common Council member Bob Brzozowski; Dennis Finn, chairman of the City Planning Commission; Tom Terry, co-owner of the Oneonta Stallions football team; Petrea Delberta, representing the Oneonta Boys and Girls Club; Robert Harlem, president of Oneonta Block; Mark Kleszczewski of KickStart Capital; Otsego County Rep. Linda Rowinski; Luisa Montanti, general manager of Southside Mall; Todd Heyn, sales director of the Courtyard by Marriott; Geoff Hassard, athletic director at the State University College at Oneonta; Richard Harlem of the Harlem & Jervis law firm, and Oneonta City Manager Michael Long.
Support for the commission was unanimous, the minutes indicate, and the attendees decided that the next step was to form a working group to fine tune the commission proposal so that it can be reintroduced to the Otsego County Board of Representatives "by May," the minutes say.
The group sought $84,000 from the board last year, but was turned down in October.
Without that money and probably more, the group faces an uphill battle.
"I would just say that it really is a great idea," said Deb Taylor, director of the Otsego County Tourism, under which the Oneonta group proposes that the sports commission operate.
"What we suggested is that the new sport commission have a volunteer-based committee of local leaders guiding them in their efforts, but that this whole organizational structure of the sport commission be linked to linked to Otsego County Tourism for a variety of reasons," Colone said last week.
Taylor said, however, her agency would be hard-pressed to take on the job without additional funding.
"There needs to be product development, and there needs to be marketing," she said. "It's an investment, and it's not one that's going to pay off in one investment of $50,000 or $80,000. It requires probably three or four or five years of going to trade shows. It really requires a full-time person."

89 suburban hvac questions
I recently picked up this suburban and the first day I had it i flipped on the blower and it came on fine and then quit a few minutes later. I'm looking for some tips on this.
I have checked the resistor and it has power to it and good resistance.
There is a fuse holder bolted along with the resistor. It had a 5a fuse in it that checked bad, so I replaced it with no change.
I did a visual inspection of the blower motor and it "looks" ok, although I'm not sure how to check it electrically.
There are 2 hoses coming out of the a/c core housing (the box the resistor is installed in) that look like water hoses that go to nothing. What are those for? Rear a/c?
I have pictures, but I'm not sure how to attach them.
- - - Updated - - -
Ok, so i got the blower working, even though I couldn't tell you how, but there is no heat coming out even with the truck warmed up and I don't hear the a/c clutch kicking in like i did before.

I would definitely like to see some pictures to see what's wrong. I have a 91 which is the same bodystyle and I should be able to pick out anything looking not right pretty quickly.Christopher

Figured out why there was no heat.
One of the previous owners had put a bypass hose from the radiator to the port by the distributor. No clue why. So I. Hooked up the 2 hoses I mentioned in the first post and now I have heat. I thought perhaps it was bypassed because the heater core was leaking, so I expected to see a leak in the floorboard when I put the hoses right, but it didn't leak.
Any idea why else someone would go to the trouble to bypass that?

It was most likely bypassed because it leaks like you guessed. However, it may not be apparent that it's leaking and may take a day or two to be noticeable on the floor.

Today Dr. Kraig Wangsnes, an interventional cardiologist at University Hospital, talks about P.A.D. or peripheral arterial disease.
P.A.D. mostly affects arteries in the legs. They become narrowed or clogged with fat, and hardened plaque. When this happens, the blood flow to the legs and feet is reduced causing pain.
It is a systemic disease, and is the most common symptom of heart attacks and strokes in the U.S. P.A.D. can also affect the heart, brain, and other organs, and lead to kidney failure, heart attacks, and stroke.
Dr. Wangsnes tells us, "Risk factors for pad are almost identical to heart disease, and that would be age, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, a strong family history ...you've inherited a predisposition of the disease."
P.A.D. can be treated through lifestyle changes, medicines or endovascular or surgical procedures. Lower extremity P.A.D. affects about eight million Americans.

A 5-year-old boy cut from a mangled car Sunday and rushed to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle was on life support Monday, KIRO-TV reported.
Earlier, Auburn police said the boy had died.
KIRO-TV spoke with the childs grandfather and reported that the boy was on life support so that his organs could be donated.
The boy was a passenger in a car driven by his mothers 21-year-old boyfriend. The driver and a second passenger, a 9-year-old girl, were also taken to Harborview. He was in the intensive care unit, and the girl was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The three were from Pacific. The mother was not in the car.
Police believe the man was driving at high speed on state Route 164 in Auburn about 2:20 a.m. when he passed a King County sheriffs deputy near the city limits.
The deputy wasnt in his patrol car when the other car sped by and was unable to catch up with the man because he was driving so fast, reports say.
The driver eventually lost control around a bend and hit a tree in the 3600 block of Auburn Way South. Police estimated the car was traveling 90 mph at the time of the crash.
The girl was able to crawl out of the wrecked car. Firefighters cut out the man and the boy.
Police believe alcohol was involved in the crash and are investigating. Vehicular homicide charges are expected to be filed against the driver.

There has been a huge outcry from the gaming community about the lack of HDMI on the $499 PS3. Sony has responded by saying that the reason for the lack of HDMI support is that many HDTVs do not have HDMI on it and there is not a big difference in the picture quality.
Fair enough. Many older HDTVs do not have HDMI but all the current and future ones do and will support HDMI. And no, there isn't a huge difference in the picture quality between component and HDMI, but lets think of the future here. The PS3 is a huge part of the Blu-ray strategy but without HDMI you aren't going to get 1080p and the ICT thing is huge. If, and we are saying if, the movie studios start using the Image Constraint Token, then you less expensive PS3 will not be able to watch your expensive Blu-ray movies at any resolution past 480p.
Sony has been claiming the the PS3 is future proof and we just do not agree with it concerning this model. People do not care about the lack of built-in card readers or WIFI but HDMI is a major concern. When Microsoft launched two different priced XBOX 360s, they were just simply difference versions not different models. You could always add to you cheaper 360 what you choose not to buy initially, where with the PS3, you cannot simply buy an HDMI port.

Short bowel syndrome is a condition in which nutrients are not properly absorbed (malabsorption
) because a large part of the small intestine is missing or has been surgically removed.
Small intestine insufficiency
When areas of the small intestine are removed by surgery, or they are missing due to a birth defect (congenital defect), there may not be enough surface area left in the remaining bowel to absorb enough nutrients from food.
This condition is likely to develop when one-half or more of the bowel is removed during surgery. Risk factors include diseases of the small intestine that may require surgery, such as Crohn's disease
. Necrotizing enterocolitis
is a common cause of short bowel syndrome in infants.
Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms, and may include:
The condition may improve over time if it occurs as a result of surgery. There may be a gradual improvement in nutrient absorption.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of short bowel syndrome, especially if you recently had bowel surgery.

Folks who have been for or against the Marin Energy Authority might be interested in this story from Petaluma Patch:
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors has approved a countywide clean power program that will allow cities to purchase and provide power generation services to customers within a defined service area.
"The steps taken today by our Board will move us forward with developing the final pieces needed to make a determination regarding the Sonoma Clean Power Program," said Supervisor Shirlee Zane in a statement.
"Sonoma Clean Power can provide multiple benefits to our community. These include greenhouse gas reductions resulting from greener, less carbon-intensive energy sources as well as job creation through the implementation of local efficiency and power projects, and local control."
On Tuesday, the board approved creating a Joint Powers Authority for the Sonoma Clean Power Authority. Supervisors, along with Water Agency Board of Directors, will initially act as the directors of the authority until additional municipalities decide to participate.
The goal is for Sonoma County to give customers an alternative source of energy to PG&E. It's not known how the addition will impact rates, although they could increase up to $10 per month. They would gradually level out over a 20-year period.
Before a program can be implemented in a particular jurisdiction, California law requires the entity electing to implement the program to adopt an ordinance.
Meanwhile, Marin Energy Authority, a Community Choice Aggregation Program, will provide consulting services to the Sonoma Clean Power Authority.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Members of Traverse City Area Public Schools' largest union are preparing to vote on a contract proposal.
Representatives from TCAPS and the Traverse City Educators Association, which represents about 550 teachers, nurses, social workers and counselors, discussed contract terms with a state mediator for about five hours Tuesday. TCAPS officials said the two parties are close to reaching an agreement.
"It went very well," TCAPS Human Resources Executive Director Christine Davis said. "Both parties worked collaboratively to get a contract and the union is bringing a proposal to the membership soon for a vote."
TCEA President Mary McGee-Cullen said the TCEA will hold its next general membership meeting in the "near future." She declined to discuss specifics of the most recent proposal.
"We need to let our members get this information before we discuss anything publicly," she said.
TCEA members marched around the TCAPS administration building as Tuesday morning's negotiation session began. McGee-Cullen said more than 400 union members were in attendance.
"I would say they were there showing their support for the bargaining team," McGee-Cullen said.
The newest proposal, which is available on the district's website, covers two years and includes 1 percent annual raises, horizontal movement for educational credits and a one-year step increase in the 2013-14 school year. Employees will have to receive either a highly effective or effective rating on their annual evaluations to qualify for an additional step increase in 2014-15.
The proposal also includes details about how TCAPS and employees will split any additional healthcare insurance costs.
Contract proposals must be approved by a majority of voting TCEA members and TCAPS' Board of Education before the deal is finalized.
The current contract between the TCEA and the district expires Saturday, but union members will continue to work under terms of the old contract if an agreement is not reached before then.
TCAPS officials did finalize a contract agreement this week with one of the district's other union groups: the Traverse City Administrators' Association, which represents principals, assistant principals and other building-level administrators.
TCAPS board members unanimously approved a two-year agreement with the TCAA Monday night. The agreement is similar to the proposal before the TCEA. It also includes 1 percent annual raises -- TAA employees received no raises in each of the last three years -- and a clause which requires administrators to receive either a highly effective or effective rating on their annual evaluations in order to move up the longevity schedule.
Additional compensation for holding academic degrees -- like $500 for a master's degree and $2,000 for a doctorate degree -- remains in the TCAA contract.

USABL (The United State Amateur Baseball League) has youth baseball teams all over New Jersey with players ranging in age from 7-18 years old.
The heaviest concentration of these teams are in the coastal communities surrounding Point Pleasant. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy and the nasty nor'easter that hit just days after, the 584 fall baseball teams that would have been enjoying the playoffs had to forgo their games. A substantial amount of the families participating in the league had suffered extreme loss and the recent weather wreaked havoc on the playing fields.
Rather than asking for a refund, all 10,000 USABL players decided to donate the money that would have been spent on umpires, championship awards, etc. to the NJ Sandy Relief Fund, an organization chaired by First Lady Mary Pat Christie. Together, USABL members donated a total of $35,000 to the organization. USABL presented a check during a reception at Drumthwacket (photo attached).
While many other larger entities such as Hess, NY Giants, and Quick Check, have made significantly larger donations to the NJ Sandy Relief Fund, USABL's donation came from members of the community who were directly effected by the storm. Many of these teams hail from Keansburg, Toms River, Barnegat, Brick, Manasquan, and Atlantic Highlands, which were completely devastated after Sandy. Despite the personal loss many of these families endured, they still chose to contribute to the relief effort and help their fellow residents.
USABL looks forward to continuing their support of the Sandy relief effort in 2013 and is anxious to get back on the baseball field with Opening Day coming up on April 7th.

FAIRMONT — The Polar Bears raised their helmets high and hummed the tune as the Fairmont Senior band broke out into the alma mater in the end zone at East-West Stadium.
After a four-game road stand in which Fairmont Senior lost two straight, it was good to finally be home again. And it was even better to get back in the win column with a 52-6 rout of Braxton County.
"The last two weeks have been rough," Fairmont Senior coach J.L. Abbott said. "We got our bell rung a couple times the last couple weeks."
The band, as an encore, could have played "Happy Birthday" to Noah Harmon. Instead, he did his celebrating on the football field.
The senior eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau and scored three touchdowns on the day he turned 18 years old. He accounted for 136 of Fairmont Senior's 241 yards on the ground.
Abbott said the team set individual goals before the season. Breaking the four-digit mark was one of Harmon's top priorities.
While Harmon was proud to reach the mark, he isn't satisfied yet.
"It was a goal (to reach 1,000), but I'd really like to see 1,500," he said. "I don't want to settle for 1,000. I wish I would have had 1,500 already. My goal is 2,000."
He would have had a few more opportunities to pad his total if not for the blowout. Neil Scherich, Malik Boddy, Ryder Skarzinski, Luke Hrapchak and Michael Toothman also scored touchdowns in the rout.
Fairmont Senior's defense, meanwhile, held the Eagles to a dismal 13 yards of total offense, including negative-32 on the ground.
The score could have been even worse if not for nine touchdowns being called back due to penalties. In total the Bears were flagged 15 times for 125 yards.
"(Heck) you probably think we coach them (to commit penalties)," Abbott said. "It's going to cost us. It would have cost us tonight if Braxton would have been a much older team."
Fairmont Senior returns to East-West Stadium next Friday to play host to Buckhannon-Upshur. But for now, the Bears will enjoy the victory— and Harmon's birthday.
One final question: How's Harmon going to celebrate the birthday and the big victory?
"Wake up tomorrow and lift and get ready for Buckhannon."

Radiation Monitoring and Safety
Is there a danger from x-rays?
X-rays can be dangerous if used improperly. The risk is signigicantly lowered when you use ionizing radiation in a safe and cautious manner. It is the responsibility of the radiographer to assure that patients, coworkers, and self are protected from radiation as much as possible. The Department of Radiologic Technology stresses the use of time, distance, and shielding to accomplish low levels of radiation exposure. This means we minimize the time spent in the x-ray field, maximize our distance, and use shielding whenever possible.
Why do radiologic technologist wear lead apron?
If you have been to a hospital and witnessed a radiographer at work, you will often see him/her wearing lead aprons or gloves. Simple guidelines such as wearing these protective devices protect radiology personnel from receiving any unnecessary exposure radiation.
Who will my radiation dose be monitored?
To help insure that all student radiologic technologists enrolled in teh clinical portion of the program are learning in a safe working environment, the amount of radiation received is monitored. A radiation dosimeter badge will be issued for each student. Students are required to pay for the radiation monitoring badge and payment is included in the radiology course fees.
The University of Saint Francis's Department of Radiologic Technology has guidelines for students' radiation expoure that are in accordance with the NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements). The NCRP states that, "The primary goal is to keep radiation exposure of the individual well below a level at which adverse effects are likely to be observed during his lifetime. Another objective is to minimize the incidence of genetic effects." The department has guidelines and policies in place to assure that every effort is being made to keep the students' dose of radiation at the lowest levels possible.
