These are my all-time favorite cookie and I've probably made 30+ batches of them over the years, always to rave reviews and requests for the recipe (which I forgot today so I'm on the site printing a copy). I do make a few minor recipe modifications. Ingredients: use FRESH lemon juice and up the amount of lemon zest in the dough. This provides extra lemon flavor. The icing also requires 1 Tablespoon of FRESH lemon juice (and more zest) and some additional confectioners' sugar to obtain the right consistency / taste. How much additional will vary based on the humidity in the air, but start with 2 additional tablespoons and go from there. (I made these yesterday while it was pouring rain and it required 4+ additional tablespoons) Technique: For the dough, beat the butter very well by itself before adding the additional ingredients. The cookies are extremely delicate when hot but firm up nicely as they cool. I leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before moving to the cooling rack and have no problems with crumbling. It should be noted that these cookies will not brown as most cookies do - if you wait for browning, the cookies will be overcooked / burnt. For easier transporting, frost cookies and leave on the cooling rack overnight. The icing firms up and you can pack them with wax paper between layers.
I have made these three times now. The first time I followed the recipe and thought "I'll never make these again!" They were awful! The icing tasted like pure butter. I made then a 2nd time, though, doubling the recipe so I could make larger cookies. I used a simple powdered sugar, milk and lemon extract icing, that I painted on the cookies. Much better. Today I made them again but I rolled the dough "logs" in sugar before refrigerating and used no other icing. They turned out very good and were easier since there was no icing.
These are excellent cookies! Tender, melt in your mouth citrusy bursts of flavor that dance on your tongue... and an EASY recipe. We favor lime over lemon, so I made with lime instead. I adjusted the recipe for 65 via the calculator and the only other change I made was to add 4 drops of lime oil to the dough, and to add 2 drops lime oil and 1/4 tsp coconut extract to the frosting. Per PP, I added ALL the zest from 1 lime to the dough. I see a lot of folks had trouble with cookies crumbling. Be sure you sift your flour before measuring as that alone can make a big difference in the outcome. I also bake all my cookies on parchment paper, which I then transfer, paper and all, to the cooling rack after allowing them to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes. While the recipe was adjusted for 65 cookies, it actually made 25. But that is fine for me, if I made more then I would eat all of those too!

A local aviation company celebrated a new era as Bombardier Learjet broke ground on an expansion.
State and local leaders attended the ceremony Monday morning. The expansion will house the Learjet 85 program, as well as a flight testing center, paint and production, engineering, information technology and a new delivery center. It is the largest expansion in the company's history.
The $52.7 million project will be complete by 2014.
Carl Brewer, Wichita mayor, said the facility will allow the Air Capital of the World to diversify its workforce.
"We will continue to work with these companies and move forward with new opportunities," Brewer said.
Pat George, Kansas secretary of commerce, said the city expects to maintain its status as an aviation leader.
"We intend to keep that statement saying we are not falling behind," George said.
Ralph Acs, Bombardier Learjet vice president and general manager, thanked Kansas leaders for their commitment to Learjet and the aviation industry.
By 2022, more than 1,000 jobs will have been created at Wichita's Learjet site.
Bombardier Aerospace continues to invest in both current production Learjet aircraft as well as innovative products such as the all-new Learjet 85 midsize jet. Launched on October 30, 2007, the Learjet 85 aircraft is on schedule for entry into service in 2013.

John Tamny, Forbes Staff
I cover the intersection of economics and politics.
By John Tamny
It says here that HBO's The Wire, which ran from 2002-2008, is the greatest television drama of all time. The show, essentially an historical-fiction style documentary on the tragedy that is Baltimore (MD), notably appealed to all sides of the political spectrum.
Liberals of the American variety seemed to like it for revealing how very crushing and insurmountable poverty is, conservatives perhaps liked it for televising the human error frequently behind poverty, not to mention the corruption inside media and government, and then libertarians including this writer surely enjoyed it for laying out the totally ineffective nature of the "war on drugs", and the sheer incompetence of government.
It's said about The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins' blockbuster novel that will be released in movie form this Friday, that it appeals to a broad demographic ranging from teens to senior citizens. If so, it's fair to assume that a not insignificant portion of the book's devotees see a political message within. Cue up the hateful comments, but my libertarian instincts tell me the novel is a boisterous comment about the certain horrors of big government.
To provide background for those who've not yet read the book, The Hunger Games takes place in a post-modern North America where society has collapsed thanks to drought, famine and war. The country is Panem, which has a major city called Capitol run by the governing elite. Those in power oversee twelve districts.
Each year at the pleasure of brutal politicians desperate for sadistic entertainment, two representatives from the twelve districts engage in a televised game of survival whereby only one person comes out alive. Though the novel has a variety of characters, most of the story centers on Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, Hunger Games representatives from District 12 (presumably West Virginia), and their efforts to emerge from the games alive.
On its face the book reveals the oppressive cruelty that is big government. Indeed, while the global political class and their enablers in the media to this day try to explain away droughts and the resulting famines from an "Act of God" point of view, the simple truth is that economically free countries don't suffer them.
Though food is surely the most essential, life-enhancing good on the planet, it's plentiful in the most barren of climates where it's not grown or farmed owing to the free-trade truth that we trade products for products; all manner of non-perishable items exchanged for food with great regularity. Simply put, visitors to Arizona don't witness distended bellies among the citizenry due to a lack of farmers, instead Arizona is prosperous and its citizens well fed for the latter pursuing all manner of work the product of which enables them to freely exchange the fruits of their labor for other goods, including groceries.
Those who were around in the '80s doubtless remember the droughts that allegedly created a famine in Ethiopia, but the greater truth is that Ethiopian citizens at one time exported food so plentiful was it; the famine that properly tugged at our heartstrings a function of a brutal dictatorship that socialized agriculture. It was said after Great Britain left India that famines in the former Jewel in the Crown became a thing of the past, but the truer reality is that "famines" were redefined to whitewash the socialist basket case that India became once independent. "Inflation" is presently low in the United States, but that's only true insofar as the commodities most sensitive to monetary error have been removed from the calculation. Droughts and famines are an inevitable effect of overbearing, interventionist and greedy governments.
As for war, though history says most have economic underpinnings, it is governments and politicians that start wars. This tells us that the horrific country that is Panem is the result of initial government error of the warring kind that led to something much worse.
Back to the malnourishment that pervades Panem, and underlies the story, Katniss muses at one point early on "What it must be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by?" Well, in countries where individuals are allowed to keep the product of their work and trade it freely, food can essentially be had at the press of a button, or in modern parlance, with the click of a mouse.
Alternatively, as Bastiat long ago observed, when goods don't cross borders, armies eventually do. A lack of free trade not only means we get to enjoy much less of the world's plenty, but it also means we have no rooting interest in the ability of others to produce for us so that we can produce for them. Instead, suffering from a lack of what we want with no avenue to get what we want, we go to war in order to forcibly take that which would otherwise reach us through voluntary, mutually wealth-enhancing exchange.
There are people that look at toast and see God. Sounds like you're one of them.
Hello noncontributor,
The author was asked about the response of readers what she found most surprising and she said…"Probably how differently people view the book. Some are attracted to the dystopian world, others are there for action and adventure, still others for the romance. The readers are defining the book in very personal and exciting ways." Clearly this true here at Forbes.com as well.
I agree but I am also tired of people jumping on the ideology bandwagon at every opportunity. Somehow a teen series is a metaphor for big government, big freakin deal. Countless numbers of books metaphorically discussing big government but that does not equal reality. Just like countless reality shows on TV don't represent how people live.
Anyhow, I am still waiting for you to start a blog.
However, this book/movie was clearly social criticism. While I disagree with this analysis, it is a book worth analyzing, regardless of being a teen series
It is the exact opposite of big government. The movie is about the low cost colonial administrative technique known as Divide and Conquer which reduces the transactions costs of projecting power. Much in the way that European Nations cleaved new identities in African nations such as Rwanda with the hutu and tutsi and so forth. Instead of big government installations, the indigenous people were divided into groups that competed for resources. This pushes the costs of maintaining order and discipline down to those being ruled. Government as we know it is barely represented in the books. There are no elections, no mayors, no post office. The only time government is even mentioned is for the games, police, and the borders. Otherwise government is completely empty from their day to day lives. Political identities such as the districts that are created to keep the their power in check is key to the story. if you read all the books, you will see that what is on trial is the competition for resources and these truncated identities that keep people fighting each other instead of working for prosperity.
Other than games, police, and the borders? I guess without police and borders East Germany might have been a pretty pleasant place.
I think you miss the point. It was not big government institutions, a welfare state, or business regulations that creates the suffering in Hunger Games. Just a repressive system that divides the citizens into political units based on occupation. If anything it is free market to the extreme where the owners of capital live in THE CAPITAL and the owners of labor live as wage slaves. Just big government is not on trial in the book. As the last book closes, Catniss has the option to assassinate the president her greatest enemy or kill the leader of the resistance. She kills the resistance. I am not saying it was not a repressive regime, just that the definition of Big Government does not apply. On the contrary I am saying it is horrible, but the result of a class system not because government raised taxes, etc.
I think you are missing a key point…just not sure if you are doing it intentionally. There was nothing Free market about living in a district. You couldn't travel, you couldn't hunt for food. Every action you took had to be permitted by the authorities and they permitted little to keep the citizens dependent ont he government which in turn determined how much food and other resources a district would receive. This is the concern in general with big government. No matter how benevolent the intent is, once you depend on the government for Food, Shelter, Healthcare, whatever you have lost the ability to have choice. You have lost freedom.
Freedom may be messy and the choices not always pleasant, however I would choose it over even the most benevolent dictatorship. And the capital of Panem wasn't benevolent. Yes the resistance adopted many of the same draconion "win at all costs" ethics of the capitol and Katniss saw where that would lead. To another corrupt controlling government. What she really wanted was to be free.
@Rand J: Exactly! The only "free market" in the book is the black market at the Hob in District 12. Everything else was either owned by (Socialist) or controlled by (Fascist) the Capitol. The fact that the government did not allow diversification of labor within the districts nor competition between rival manufacturers was the cause of the deprivation. District 11 grew enough food to feed everyone, but the citizens of the district still starved, since the government confiscated the crops and redistributed the food as they saw fit. Within the districts, even the supposedly prosperous people suffered (as when Peeta admits that though his family were bakers, they only ate stale bread). The local government (Madge's father, the Mayor) was mostly ineffectual, with the Peacekeepers enforcing a police state.
I'm not sure what Suzanne Collins' political leanings are, or if she intended the Hunger Games to be a political allegory or simply a reflection on people's fascination with reality TV, but I can see many parallels to life under the current political system. Overall, the most prosperous city in the US is Washington, DC, with low unemployment and rapid growth to support the huge expansion of the federal government. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is bowing under the weight of ever-increasing and costly government regulations and taxes, while more and more people are sacrificing personal liberty to government dependence. Local governance, at both the state and city level, has been overcome by the dominance of the Federal government and their inexpert, one-size-fits-all "solutions." Additionally, the corruption of the Capitol is evident today in the inconsistency and favoritism in application of the law; the Federal government arbitrarily decides what cases to prosecute or which benefactors to reward, as in the book, where Districts 1 and 2 are allowed to covertly train Tributes in violation of the law, in exchange for goods (District 1) and Peacekeepers (District 2).
So, Mr. Tamney, assuming that you even read the books, how have you determined that the ruling class includes only evil politicians? What about the people with all of the money? In the book the capital is packed with an overly indulgent population – gorging themselves on food and then puking it up so as to eat more – while supported by a majority population of the overly poor. Very few citizens in the capital are politicians. Without the support of a moneyed class, there is no political class. How convenient of you to leave that out of your essay.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Review outtakes: Ryan Braun's Graffito
Because not everything fits into one restaurant review...
Since there are seasonal elements to the menu at Ryan Braun's Graffito in the Third Ward, dishes come and go. The season for soft-shell crabs has wound down, so that dish is coming off the menu.
Other changes, according to chef Dominic Zumpano:
-- The popular scallop small plate will be offered as an entree.
-- Two pasta dishes are being added: orecchiette with braised chicken, asparagus, grilled corn and roasted tomatoes with fontina cream sauce; and rigatoni with roasted peppers, the house Italian sausage, and basil pesto.
A couple of new dishes and a la carte items also are expected to be added to the weekend brunch menu.
And if reserve wine lists are your thing, ask to see it if you're not given one along with the menu. What's nice is that a number of the other wines are available by the quartino -- about a glass and a half. For all those times when one glass isn't enough for dinner, and a bottle is too much.

January Jones with From Hell To Heaven
When you grow up in an environment where the adults violate the trust of the children, it becomes a difficult road to overcome. It takes that one person to influence your life and tell you that you deserve better and you can become something, and be somebody, if you work hard to find your way.
I want everyone to step out on limb when an opportunity arises, and lift up a struggling young child or adolescent. These are formative years for them and they need role models; lots of them. It is so easy to go down the path of least resistance which is not always the best path. It is a crime that the adults in my life during childhood did not think it important enough to protect innocent children from violence, abuse, and a sexual predator.

Both players finished at 10-under-par 274. Hirschman, who is from Collierville, Tenn,, and has signed with Oklahoma, shot a 1-under 70 in the final round.
Tuten, who led after the first and third rounds, shot a 72. He is from Elberton, Ga., and plays for Armstrong Atlantic.
The two golfers played the par-4 18th twice in the playoff. Both made pars the first time. Hirschman made a birdie the second time for the win.
It was the second time in three years that a playoff was needed to decide the winner. Dykes Harbin won in 2012 in a playoff.
Hirschman and Tuten finished one shot ahead of a trio of golfers. David Cooke of Bolingbrook, Ill., had the day's best round with a 6-under 65. John Jonas of Jacksonville, Fla., and Cody Proveaux both shot 72.
Defending champion Seth Reeves of Duluth, Ga., finished sixth at 7 under 277 after a final-round 69. Reeves also won in 2011.
Parker Derby, a former Brookstone and current Georgia player, had the best score among local players. Derby shot a final-round 72 to finish in a tie for 15th at 3 under 281.
Hirschman, who led after the second round, played in the group ahead of Tuten.
Hirschman began the final round two shots back of Tuten, but they were tied as they made the turn. After No. 12, Tuten's lead was back to 2 shots.
Hirschman birdied Nos. 13 and 14, while Tuten bogeyed 14, giving the lead back to Hirschman.
Both made birdies on 17, but Hirschman made a bogey on the 18th, while Tuten parred it to force the playoff.

Bryce Brown finally ended the extra-long soap opera that his signing had turned into on March 16. After committing to Miami, his recruitment was still wide open. Among his suitors were Oregon, Kansas State, LSU, Miami, who may or may not have retracted the offer, and Tennessee, who he decided to sign with. One of the reasons he decided to go with Tennessee over the others was that he felt they would get him to the NFL. He stated, "I thought they were the best school to prepare me for the next level." I had to laugh at that a little bit.Did Bryce Brown Make the Right Choice? | Bleacher Report

I write about peak oil and climate change as investment themes.
When it emerged that Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners ("Brookfield", TSX:BRP.UN, OTC: BRPFF) had acquired approximately one sixth of Western Wind Energy's (TSXV:WND, OTC:WNDEF) stock last Thursday from Western Wind's largest institutional shareholder, Goodman & Company, investors cheered.
The transaction was seen as a signal that Brookfield intends to bid at least C$2.25 for Western Wind in its upcoming sale, and so the company's stock has been trading for slightly more than C$2.25 since the announcement.
Despite this, the Brookfield/Goodman transaction may not prove to be a good deal for Western Wind's other shareholders. Goodman had not said how it intended to vote in the upcoming proxy battle between Western Wind's management and 4.78% owner Savitr Capital. The main issue in this proxy battle is which team is best suited to manage the process of selling the company.
Because the purchase comes with a promise from Brookfield to compensate Goodman if Western Wind is sold for more than C$2.25 in the next year, the transaction only makes sense if Brookfield intends to use its newly acquired votes to influence the vote in its favor. As a likely bidder in the sale, Brookfield's incentive is to vote for the management team which it believes will accept the lowest offer for Western Wind. Savitr has stated that Western Wind management made a mistake rejecting Algonquin Power and Utilities Corp.'s (TSX:AQN,OTC:AQUNF) 2011 offer of C$2.50 a share, so it's clear that Savitr is willing to accept less for the company than management.
Other shareholders will want to sell the company for as much as possible. They should vote for the team they think is best able to interest the broadest range of possible buyers in the company, and best able to advance its Yabucoa solar project and increase the company's value in the meantime. I personally think current management has the best team for these two jobs, and will be voting my yellow proxy in favor of management's nominees on September 25th.
While Brookfield's stock purchase has been good news for Western Wind shareholders in the short term, if Brookfield casts the decisive vote in the proxy battle, it may well mean that we will end up with less for our shares that we would have gotten otherwise.
Brookfield must think so, or they would not have bothered striking the deal with Goodman.
Disclosure: Long WND, BRP-UN, AQN.
Now that WND management is committed to selling the company, it seems like the only people who would vote for the takeover would be people who intend to bid low and buy the company.
At any rate, 2.25 appears to be the new floor.
I'm wondering if I should sell a significant chunk now that the price has reached $2.50
Thanks and thanks for the tweet of the Bloomberg story!

Many readers have written to me about Catholic women priests. Here are two of the questions I get the most:
Are there any validly ordained Catholic women priests in America?
Answer: More than 150. Barbara Ann Duff is a validly, as opposed to licitly, ordained priest in Macon.
Doesnt Scripture forbid women to be priests?
Answer: Not really. Were talking about I Timothy 2:11-15 and I Corinthians 14:13. Neither text talks about the priesthood; instead, its all about denigrating women. But add in I Corinthians 11:4, and it really gets confusing.
Lets start with the Letter to Timothy. Most modern Scripture scholars agree that St. Paul did not write it. In fact, of the 14 epistles attributed to him, he probably wrote seven. No matter; somebody wrote it and it crept into the canon of Scripture around the year 325. Lets see what it says:
Let a woman learn in silence with full submission.
I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.
Next, lets throw in a snippet from I Corinthians 14:13 (that many Greek manuscripts omit and nearly all Scripture scholars believe shouldnt be included in the Bible):
Women should be silent in the churches;
They are not permitted to speak. It is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
Now, what really gets confusing is this. If were going to accept these two questionable texts as the inspired word of God, what in the world do we do with this third one, which everyone agrees was really written by St. Paul?
Any woman who prays or prophesies -- with her head unveiled -- disgraces her head. (I Corinthians 11:4)
Whoops! Wait a minute. The Greek word for prophesy means to preach; St. Paul makes this clear in I Corinthians 14:3, where he makes the distinction between speaking in tongues and preaching.
Everyone who prophesies, (preaches) speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
Whats it going to be? If Im a woman, can I speak up in church and preach as long as I wear a veil, or am I relegated forever to the back of the church in silence?
If I am going to take each Scripture text as the literal word of God, how can I handle this contradiction? And it is a blatant contradiction; no doubt about it. In this third text, St. Paul is definitely authorizing and sanctioning the practice of women preachers. He uses the same word in Greek for a man who preaches in church as for a woman who preaches in church. They both pray and prophesy, the man with his head uncovered and the woman with her head covered. What a problem.
Our Protestant brothers and sisters settled this issue long ago. Theyve been ordaining women priests and bishops for many years, and, as far as I know, have not had any scandals. They look on this Catholic male chauvinist practice as archaic, impractical and un-Christian. And theyre right.
Even the Catholic Church hesitated once. Back in April 1976 the Pontifical Biblical Commission (the Catholic Churchs authority on sacred Scripture) voted in favor of the view that Scripture does not exclude the ordination of women, and in favor of the view that the church could ordain women to the priesthood without going against Christs original intentions. But the men who make the rules voted no.
Now, I know these facts will not satisfy the men who have already made up their minds. They think my opinions (and evidently those of the Pontifical Biblical Commission) are silly and miss the mark. I dont write for them. I write for open-minded searchers of wisdom and truth; people who are willing to think out of the box. People like Pope Francis. Who knows? Catholics may finally have a leader whos not afraid to lead.

The Montgomery County Board of Commissioners Thursday approved a $146.5 million capital spending plan that includes repairs to at least 18 bridges and roads around the county as well as extensive repairs to the 1 Montgomery Plaza office tower that now houses the bulk of county's government.
View the county's full summary of the $146.5 million spending package in the PDF section attached to this article.
The county purchased the building for $26 million in 2006 and is now facing $35 million in repairs, prompting Commissioner Bruce Castor to wonder whether the county might pursue compensation from any parties that were charged with inspecting the building for the county prior to its purchase.
"Somebody decided to buy this building without making sure it was sound," Castor said.
The county courthouse garage, which has suffered what county CFO Uri Monson called "severe water damage," is slated to receive about $17.6 million in repairs and upgrades. Several other county buildings, such as the Parkhouse long-term care facility in Upper Providence, are also in line to receive various repairs and upgrades that range from new kitchen appliances to replacement security cameras and sidewalk improvements. Monson presented the commissioners with a slide show that depicted the damage to both the office tower and the garage.
Castor and fellow commissioners Josh Shapiro and Leslie Richards each took turns criticizing the previous county administration for not making sufficient efforts to combat the county's crumbling facilities and infrastructure. Castor, in particular, characterized the county's infrastructure woes as the inevitable result of the "cronyism" practiced by former commissioners Joseph Hoeffel and James Matthews. Castor said the previous county administration directed county funds towards projects that would reap political benefits, at the expense of less visible but more crucial needs.
"Fixing the courthouse garage" doesn't have political benefits, Castor said.
Richards said the problems shown in Monson's slide presentation reflected maintenance issues that predated the previous county administration. Shapiro thanked Richards, who is a project manager at an engineering firm, for guiding the county's efforts to assess the scale of its infrastructure woes.
The $146.5 million in county spending does not include $94.6 million in state and federal grant money that will go towards the road and bridge projects. Those projects are expected to cost about $110.1 million, only $15.6 million of which will be directly borne by the county.
Richards said 36 of the county's bridges are "posted," meaning they are no longer able to bear the loads for which they were originally designed. Seven bridges are closed, and 62 have been designated "structurally deficient."
"I think [this project plan] is very necessary," Richards said.
See the interactive map at the top of this article to see where the projects are located and what they are each expected to cost.
The capital project plan runs through 2016 and does not include an estimated $50 million upgrade to the county's public safety radio system. With the county currently servicing approximately $400 million in debt that consumes 10 percent of the county budget, it is not yet clear how or when the county will take on additional debt to pay for the projects.
Shapiro declined to say whether the new projects or any additional debt that may be required to pay for them would result in a tax hike for county residents.
"It's too soon to say," Shapiro said. He noted that Monson estimated that the county's debt would be at about $392 million at the end of the year, down from $418 million at the beginning of the year.

If there were beauty pageants for motorcycles, riders would undoubtedly crown the MV Agusta F4 queen. This sleek motorcycle is considered to be the most beautiful motorcycle in the world, with some riders equating it to a work of art. If you think you see one on the road, better not blink, or you'll miss it as it whizzes by at 186 mph. In 2006, the F4 1000 R set a speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats for the fastest production motorcycle in the 1000 cc class, clocking in at just under 186 mph. MV Agusta introduced the F4 in 1998, following its design by Massimo Tamburini who also designed the Ducati 916 This superbike sizzles, whether it is parked on a lot, racing down the highway, or whipping around the track. The F4 has a unique four-pipe under tail exhaust system as well as an engine that has a Hemi-head with four valves per cylinder for maximum air volume. MV Agusta introduced the F4 1000 R and the F4 CC, named after MV Agusta's chief, Claudio Castiglioni, in 2006. Also released in 2006 was the Senna, a special edition of the F4 1000 R, that will set buyers back really big bucks as only 100 of these motorcycles were made.
MV Agusta packages the F4's chromium-molybdenum frame in a thermoplastic body. It has the only chromium-molybdenum frame in the four-cylinder production class. This sport bike comes with standard instrumentation, including a fuel level warning light, lap timer, temperature warning light, speedometer, tachometer and odometer. The 1 + 1 version has pillion seating for the passenger. MV Agusta is still making the F4. The Italian manufacture describes the 2013 model as ""the epitome of emotion, performance, and speed clothed in a uniquely desirable design.""

July 31, 2014
WASHINGTON - Some grass-roots supporters of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have formed a super PAC to help a potential Clinton presidential campaign in 2016 - even though Clinton says she hasn't decided her plans.
A super PAC called "Ready for Hillary" was registered with the Federal Election Commission on Friday and the group plans to launch its website in the coming weeks.
It's chaired by the founder of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project at George Washington University, Allida Black. As a super PAC, the group can't coordinate with a candidate.
Clinton was asked about a possible 2016 campaign during a Tuesday town hall meeting. She says she isn't thinking about that now and is looking forward to, in her words, "catching up on about 20 years of sleep deprivation."

The willful child. It's like living with a teen when they are little. They want what they want when they want it. They often show up most willful, e.g. demanding, assertive, out of control, emotional, physical or all of them at the same time, when they are in transition.
Getting ready in the morning.
Going to bed at night.
And most any transition in between.
The willful child is often loved by their teachers. Especially in elementary school. You go and speak with their teachers and you are proud, yet you wonder: why isn't this person living in my house?
The great thing about the willful child is that they can change the world when they are grown ups. They are tenacious and leaders.
It is this tenaciousness and desire for leadership that they feel now that makes the parenting of the willful child so challenging.
An antidote to this is allowing the small child the "false" sense of leadership. For example: giving two choices and allowing the child to decide. As simple as "do you want milk in the yellow cup or the blue mug?" They are going to have milk, but they get to feel like they are making an "executive decision" (the cup the milk comes in).
As they get older, the willful child can be given choices about where they want to do homework every day. Again, an example: Do you want to do your homework in the kitchen at the counter or at the table? Do you want to rest for 20 minutes before you start your homework or do you want to work now for 30 minutes and then take a break?
These kinds of options give the willful child a sense they are in control.
So the next time your willful child behaves in a way that causes you to feel like you are going to lose your mind:
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Small smile.
It's not what happens to me, but how I handle it.
I choose to handle my willful child with love and understanding that they are not being "bad or difficult" they are leaders and decision makers.
I choose to offer my willful child choices. Unless it is an emergency, I choose to always offer choices to my child.
In so doing, I am teaching my willful child to see that there are choices and how to make them. They have responsibilities, but they can choose how those responsibilities are met.
The values of love, compassion, understanding and peaceful parenting.

Skills Courses
Students who possess strong professional skills are better equipped for success when they graduate and enter the legal marketplace. At KU Law, students have ample opportunities to gain such experience while satisfying the school's professional skills requirement. Examples include:
- Advanced Legal Ethics
- Advanced Litigation
- Estate Planning: Practice
- Pretrial Advocacy
- Corporate Transactions: Process and Issues
Additionally, KU Law offers two intensive simulation courses that allow students to gain hands-on experience in trial advocacy. Veteran attorneys teach the Deposition Skills and Expert Witness workshops, providing invaluable guidance and feedback as students practice their skills with peers.
Deposition Skills Workshop
The Deposition Skills Workshop teaches students the art of taking and defending depositions. This professional skills course exposes students to substantive and procedural law, as well as the ethical rules, pertaining to depositions. It provides students a realistic deposition setting in which they will learn to conduct and defend a series of depositions in a simulated environment under the direction of experienced attorneys who serve as the workshop faculty.
Meet the 2014 faculty members.
Expert Witness Workshop
The workshop exposes students to the substantive and procedural law, as well as the ethical rules, pertaining to expert witness testimony. Moreover, it provides a realistic courtroom setting where students will learn to conduct and defend a series of expert witness examinations and cross-examinations in a simulated environment under the direction and guidance of experienced attorneys who will serve as the workshop faculty. Students conduct and defend at least 5 mini expert witness examinations and/or cross-examinations during a 1-credit workshop or 10 in a 2-credit workshop.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — You have to wonder how people judge political candidates.
One New York City reporter checking the results of a recent poll showing former Gov. Eliot Spitzer leading in the race for city controller came up with this lead on the story: Client 9 is No. 1.
It was an obvious reference to the disgraced politician who resigned — he had no alternative — after it was revealed that he had spent thousands of dollars as a client in a prostitution ring. In fact, he would have identified himself as "Client No.9" that spring day in 2008 when he placed a cell phone message from the parking lot of Shorty's Ultimate Bar & Grill (the former Honey's Pizzeria), Pine Avenue, to a call-girl in Washington, D.C. After his "official visit" to Niagara Falls, he reportedly would have a date waiting for him in the nation's capital. A few days later he resigned from office with his distraught wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, at his side, looking like her world had just collapsed.
Lo and behold! Spitzer's the center of attention again — five years later —running in the New York City controller's race. He still exudes that air of arrogrance. Even as he asks people for forgiveness, he sounds abrasive.
When he walked in Manhattan a few days ago to his sidewalk press conference — the turnout more fitting for a rock star — a bystander shouted, "You're late! What did you do, get tied up with a hooker?"
Spitzer didn't bat an eye. He'd heard it all. He just smiled like he did a couple days later when the initial poll showed he was leading his opponent, Scott Stringer, 42 percent to 33 percent in the Democrat primary for controller. Like a friend of mine always says, "What a country!"
OFF THE PRESS: If you're interested in learning about the generally forgotten War of 1812, the National Geographic has published an excellent summary. The small (5-by-7-inch), 128-page booklet ($13.95) is packed with attractive maps and texts on iconic parks, historic sites and battlefield. Old Fort Niagara, as you would expect, is featured on several pages.
FIX THE ROAD!: Motorists entering Fort Niagara State Park from Main Street, Youngstown, may find it virtually impossible to avoid the broken roadway close to the toll booth. In addition to the cracked pavement, there's at least one pothole where you could easily damage or even break a tire. It's not exactly what a driver should expect just before forking over $8 to enter the park. Also, near the entrance to Scott Avenue that runs parallel to the river all the way to the fort, the pavement is badly broken. That's where bicycle riders could easily take a tumble.
ON TARGET: Mike Fox, who operates Fox BoyZ Marine on Water Street, adjacent to the Youngstown Yacht Club, remains optimistic that his first jetboat will arrive in the village next month. A partner in the new venture, Chris Bohenkamp, is overseeing the construction at a site in Idaho. The company plans two boats to carry passengers from the marine docks to the edge of the Whirlpool, basically paralleling the present Whirlpool Jetboat Tours that operate out of Niagara-on-the-Lake and Lewiston. Fox's boats will not service the Ontario shoreline.
QUIETER PACE: Bishop Edward U. Kmiec, 77, who retired last year as head of the eight-county Buffalo Catholic Diocese, now resides at the downtown St. Joseph's Cathedral, off Franklin Street. In an interview with the Western New York Catholic, the diocesan newspaper, Kmiec explained that his living space incudes a small chapel that he can use for private Mass, prayer and meditation.
MEA CULPA: In Thursday's column I mistakenly identified Youngstown resident Ed Rath as a retiree from Niagara County Community College. He retired from the Erie Community College staff. Rath had attended the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg last weekend.Contact Reporter Don Glynn at 282-2311, ext. 2246.

13: Fear is Real Episode 5
"A Lesson in Terror"
Original Airdate: 30 January 2009
In This Episode…
The group is still living in the abandoned fort. The boys sneak out during the night to "haunt" the girls, by making "mysterious" noises – clinking together rusted horseshoes, wood blocks, strange whispers. Joke's on them: not only do the girls not even wake up, the boys see a strange light floating at the end of one of the corridors. The guys have also decided that either Rodney or Erica is the killer.
The Mastermind has left the contestants a going-away present: a scrapbook full of news clippings about a half-dozen students from a local high school who were abducted and murdered. Guess where the contestants are going now? Yes, the ice cream parlor.
Okay, they are going to that abandoned high school. Like school wasn't scary enough as it was. Anyway, our contestants get there, and in the gym they find a shrine set up for the six dead students. Their task is presented: find the class rings of the six students (taken as trophies by the "serial killer"), which are hidden in each student's favorite class (who the hell had a favorite class in high school?). The two contestants who do not find a ring go to the execution ceremony.
Each classroom has a hint scrawled on the blackboard. One leads Erica to find a ring in a dead fish; another leads Cody to dissect a frog; another has Ted busting open piñatas which spill bloody entrails instead of candy. Despite the hints, I still got the feeling that the producers had to help out the contestants. Leah and Rodney are the odd men out. And the waiting begins.
In the meantime, Rodney reveals himself (to the cameras) as the killer. He describes how he stole the Death Box (sleeping on the cabin porch and sneaking it out of the cage while the others sleep), and laments on how hard it is being the killer.
Dig It or Bury It?
I'm going with dig it. This episode seemed to have a lot less meaningless filler (i.e. 10 minutes of contestants walking through the black bayou) and more meaningful filler (digging through offal for jewelry). I still feel like all the rituals and execution ceremonies are the same. Find something in a creepy location, and then extricate yourself from a creepy situation.
Lean and Rodney are strapped down to metal tables, hands bound above their heads. Tonight's mission: they must free their hands, locate the scissors hidden nearby, and free themselves from their restraints – all before a bladed pendulum slices them in half. Against all odds, Leah escapes first. Not only does Rodney not make it out, he breaks his tooth trying to gnaw his way out of his restraints.
It seems pretty obvious that Rodney would be killed off in this episode, since he was revealed to be the killer. In his "last words" video, he tells everyone to "watch out for the killer – be safe." Way to keep a secret, dude.
Horrifying Cliché
One of the guys (and honestly, I have no idea who, because they are all basically interchangeable), says, "In horror films, the killer is always supposed to be the last one you expect." Truer words are seldom spoken. The newspaper clippings are a common story element – off the top of my head: My Bloody Valentine 3D, at least two Nightmare on Elm Streets, and I believe Scream as well.
When the contestants arrive at the school, one of the guys likens it to being in Prom Night. And just before Rodney reveals himself as the killer, he says that in horror movies, the biggest mistake people make is to wander away from the group and get themselves killed. So true.
The contestants are getting another location change. The only hint we get is that it is a place where they will be the living amongst the dead. I am guessing either an abandoned hospital/morgue, or an abattoir. I hope by the end, the contestants are dumped into an abandoned mental hospital. I've been in one of those, and it doesn't get scarier than that.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers are one step closer to staying in Charlotte after the City Economic Development Committee meeting Thursday.
After disappointing news that the state refused to kick in funding and turned down a food and beverage tax, city officials say it's now up to the city of Charlotte to keep the Panthers here.
"The best tether of all for Charlotte is Jerry Richardson; he's been the best tether of all-- he wants the team to be in the Carolinas," said Panthers President, Danny Morrison.
And after Thursday's 4-0 vote to accept the city's new proposal, it looks as though the Panthers are one step closer to staying for sure.
"We feel very comfortable; it's a great model for the Panthers, great model for city of Charlotte and protect ourselves should something happens and the team relocates," said Committee Chair, Councilman James Mitchell.
The new proposal includes $112.5 million in stadium capital improvements over 10 years-- $75 million coming from the city and $37.5 from the Panthers.
When you add in maintenance and traffic control, the city investment would be $87.5 million of money that's been freed up to use from the Convention Center funds.
"It's important for us to keep the asset we have developed since 1995 in our city, so whether it's six years or 10 years, we had to get the deal done," said Mitchell.
Out of the 10-year deal, only six are a hard tether, so the Panthers could opt out of the last four years, but Morrison says they see it as a 10-year deal and are ready to move forward.
"We're focused right now on the escalator project. We're focused on the video boards, the ribbon boards and the technology side, so that's our emphasis at this point," said Morrison.
Now it's up to the entire council to seal the deal.
"Monday night have to be that we say, 'Are we going to play football in our community' and I think we need to say on Monday night, 'Yes we want them here," said Mitchell.

Vendor neutrality - Myth, reality, or ... who cares?
Recently, I met with an executive from a well-known MSP and VMS firm, let's say from company X, and we got talking about the age-old topic of . yes, you guessed it vendor neutrality. Is vendor neutrality really an issue? Or is it just a myth that is used as a marketing tool?
Depending on who I talk to about this, the responses fall under two categories: If I am talking to a staffing company that owns the VMS or acts as an MSP, typically, they brush away the question as an archaic phenomenon that doesn't come up anymore, or it doesn't matter anymore. If I bring it up to an independently owned VMS or MSP, for them it's still a big deal and a differentiator.
So, sure enough, this executive from company X was quite passionate about vendor neutrality. Basically, the point of debate was how neutral can an MSP be if it is a staffing company? Wouldn't the company take a lion's share of placements? Wouldn't the staffing company have an advantage over its competitors who respond to the requisition? They can definitely glean through all the pay and bill rate information and have the inside information about what bill rates clients are willing to accept.
The truth is that there are so many variables involved. Some customers really care about their MSP or VMS being vendor neutral because they believe that they can get better quality of workers and, of course, better rates with more competition. Others don't really worry about it, or their level of sophistication on this issue doesn't extend to this level. Some may not be aware that their MSP is owned by a staffing firm. Some contracts specify the percentage of orders that can be filled by the parent staffing firm, if any. The list of variables goes on: cost, simplicity, efficiency, quality of workers, etc. It's a business issue that a buyer of staffing services as a user of VMS or MSP services has to answer.
So, to me, there is no real right answer to the question 'Does vendor neutrality matter?' I think the answer is, 'it depends.' What do you think?

Paying a visit to the variety store...
Marathon men
If basketball is your game, and if you happen to live in Spartan Country, Tim Tallbacka and his band of boys basketeers have something that should be a slam dunk for you.
The fourth annual Conneaut Basketball Program Marathon Open Gym will be staged Saturday at the Conneaut Middle School gymnasium.
Players in grades 5 through 8 are welcome and will take to the floor from 10 a.m. to noon. From that point through 4 p.m., all other players in grades 9 and up will hit the hardwood.
Cost is $5 for players and $2 for spectators and all proceeds will benefit the Conneaut Boys Basketball Bench Club. The organization raises money to benefit the Conneaut boys basketball squads.
It should be noted, any players under the age of 18 who wish to participate who do not play for Conneaut's school teams must have a parent in attendance to sign required waiver forms.
Anyone needing more information or having questions can call Tallbacka, himself a former standout at Harbor High School and Hiram College, at 655-8569.
Picture this
Yours truly is continuing his quest for any type of photograph that depicts the baseball diamond that at one time stood in the infield of the racetrack at the Ashtabula County Fairgrounds.
I've received several messages, read many newspaper accounts of the games being played there and have had numerous conversations about those contests, but my eyes have yet to see any type of photograph taken from even the slightest of wide angles that shows how the ballfield was laid out.
For decades, every town in Ashtabula County would put together a baseball team for the tournament at the fair.
If you have such an image or know of one, please contact me at the email address that appears below.
